Chapter 7 - [ Chapter 7 ● Ascension Path ]

"Nothing has changed Master~

The demon realm is still just as chaotic as it had always been, all that has changed is that bit of order that was there when you were awake, had also crumbled!~

Anyways as demonic beings; entities who represents Destruction! It is nothing major to worry about~ " The demonic spirit—Vanessa informed!

Her expression, dutiful and pious! Her tone—Elegant.

Demon nodded! "Mm!.. Continue! ... "

"It all happened a mere year after your slumber began master~

Every demon could instinctively feel it, that something has happened to the master of the realm! That the Apex Demon isn't in a good health~

Even though not understanding, all the demons could sense it in there soul that the Original Demon had fallen in a deep and long slumber, consequently with this realization it was pure chaos in the realm!~

Because there was no terror to keep the willful demons in check, there was slaughter and bloodbaths happening everywhere! The realm of hell had become a 'Hell' for the demons themselves!

None were escaped safe from this ripple of chaos that spread like a tsunami which engulfed the whole of the demon realm in but a mere hundred years, master~

There were wars happening! Conflicts beginning! Conspiracies brewing, for even the smallest of reasons out there! Let alone the mortal demons, not even the True Demon Gods or the Demon Gods were left safe~ "

"This is the everyday life of any demon in the realm! Nothing new!.. " Demon frowned. "I want to know what is it that's keeping my maids away from me!?

These mundane problems aren't something that require there attention Vanessa!"

At his words, the four beauties unexpectedly smiled!

"Master, you're indeed correct! These everyday problems certainly doesn't require sister Pride or sister Wisteria's personal presence~ " Morrigan chuckled with light amusement.

Demon focused on her! Indicating for her to continue, and Morrigan; like the good maid she was, obediently did what her Master wanted! Her velvet lips parted.

"Every demon has become unhinged and truthfully quiet barbaric Master~

Not like they weren't like that before but as you know Time corrodes everything, including there fear towards you! That being said, now the fearless demons are simply crossing there limits~

Who I'm talking about aren't the Primordial Demon Gods! I'm talking about the Second Order Progenitors, being at our level, and evidently some arrogant and delusional First Order Progenitors too~

Since with you out of the picture, they certainly don't fear anything! Not even us, The Second Order Progenitors blessed by your essence~~ "

Demon become entertained, his lips curled.

"So not only Pride and Wisteria! Even you three were busy dealing with these few or more then a few bad tempered childrens?" He guessed!

"Yes!~~

Papa should help us in punishing these bad kids!~ " Vanessa nodded with a teasing tone! "And papa also shouldn't forget to reward the good childrens, for a work well done!~

We have been working very hard you know!~ "

"Sure~ Papa will help punish the bad kids and reward the good kids for a behavior good~ " Demon winked at Vanessa, happily playing along with her game!

The other girls couldn't help but chuckle.

Nonetheless, the glimmer of anticipation in there obsessive eyes at the name of a good reward could never be hidden! Even the ever stoic Lunaria couldn't stop the ache in her heart for her master!

Considering, there can only be one thing these the maids or the secretory would ever want from there master, and that was Demon himself. Evidently, they couldn't wait for the moment they would get to taste him again.

For a second, all of there eyes glanced towards the sleeping Dragon and the Vampire, and gazing at there satisfied and peaceful expressions, there hearts couldn't help but churn with a sudden burst of jealousy.

Meanwhile Demon was busy pondering! How he should deal with those few second order progenitors. Because honestly he couldn't decide, if he should kill them or spare them!

Although he didn't know what they actually did, still he perfectly knew that there commitment towards him was as unshakable as his maids.

Which said a lot, considering his maids were ones, who would even kill themselves within a heartbeat, without any question or even blinking, If he ever commanded them to do so.

As for them, calling the Second Order Progenitors rebellious and all; he supposed that whatever they must have done, his maids mustn't have liked that, because if someone had genuinely moved against him, then undoubtedly, he wouldn't even be alive presently.

His maids weren't some weak girls after all.

Accordingly, if they really did decided to unalive somebody, then there truly wasn't anyone capable enough to stop them from doing so, atleast not in the demon realm, there were none strong enough aside from him.

Therefore, them living only ment that none have committed a truly blasphemous actions towards him.

And frankly for him, it really appeared to be nothing more then a fight between childrens with his maids complaining about the bad behavior of others.

Then there were also the especially few arrogant ones, the so-called First Order Progenitors or in other words: The Primordial Demon Gods!

Actually, these two ranks were synonymous of one another.

As the only difference between them was that the First Order Progenitor was an Ascension path that begans when one reaches the Fifth Phase of Ascension.

Evolving into a Primordial God from a True God

As for what an Ascension path was; In the simplest terms, it was once journey towards becoming once own independent source or a path towards independence and freedom.

It began with the First Phase of Ascension: The Mortal Phase! Which comprises of Nine different Ranks within it.

Next came the Second Phase of Ascension! Which was also the first step and the beginning towards achieving Godhood! It was the Ascension Phase where one evolved into a Demi-God!

The phase had Five different Ranks within it!

Thereupon came the Third Phase of Ascension! A phase representing once ascension to Godhood! There were no rank in this phase or the next two phases that came afterwards.

The Fourth Phase of Ascension represented once evolution to True Godhood.

Next came the Fifth Phase, which marked once independence and freedom from once own bloodline! By creating and becoming a source in and of oneself.

Like there can be two Primordial Gods or Progenitors of the First Order with the same Element of Flame working as there source! However as an element from two different source, these two Flames will always be differen from one another.

They will be unique! Like a progenitor can become a source of a Flame with aspect of healing, while the other can have a flame focused on destruction! Curreption! Poison or any other aspect of any other Law for that matter.

Afterwards came the Second Order, where once source evolved into an Origin Source! Which gave birth to many different sources.

Meaning, the Second Order Progenitor's were capable of even creating the First Order Progenitors, though it was limited by how much sources there Origin Source contained!

Next was the last order: The Third Order! ...

Where once origin source evolves into an Original Source. In other words, every source, every origin source came from the Original Source.

This is who Demon was; literally without him, there can be no demon.

Moreover for a Second Order Progenitor to evolve into a Third Order Progenitor! He had to kill and absorbe the Original Source of the latter.

There was no other way around! Like the few countable ways there were for one to ultimately evolve into a First or even a Second Order Progenitor!

Anyways, for now Demon first decided to ask his maids about who these delusional second order progenitors where. Who were getting out of line and creating problems for his maids.

Before deciding on anything else!

Meanwhile the maids: Vanessa! Morrigan and Lunaria! Including the secretory: Lilith! Immediately had there gazes refocused on there master on hearing his question.

They hummed, seemingly deep in thought!

However Lilith, the ever diligent secretory, didn't take more then a second to respond to her master! Her expression screaming, she wanted to be the first to get rewarded now!

Which certainly made Demon amused! Nonetheless, he still listened to her words attentively.

"Master!~

Do you know Ignatius Pyrohrt: The Progenitor of Demonic Flames, The Disastrous Flame Demon?~ "

"Yeah, I do! Didn't he share some sort of rivalry with Lunaria for some reason!? I remember, I watched a few of his battles with the other maids in the castle too, but isn't he just a Primordial Demon God?~ "

Lilith smiled! "He was master and isn't anymore. Apparently a good few 10-thousand years ago, he successfully evolved and became a Second Order Progenitor ~

Afterwards, he immediately came to challenge sister Lunaria! This time out of curiosity, she finally accepted! There very first battle continued and he lost within 10 minutes of its commencement~

However, he couldn't accept that! He challenged her again! Lost again! Challenged again! Lost again! Afterwards Lunaria got bored and left! Not accepting any of his challenges!~

And now he is on a quest to become stronger! For that he challenged many other Second Order Progenitors and now there is a massive war going on in the Northern Land of Raging Flames~

Ignatius Pyrohrt had even gained a legit title for himself—The Harbinger of Endless Disaster!~ " Lilith uttered the title! Hor tone not hiding her amusement and disdain!

"That's quiet a story!" Demon remarked with interest! "Though, I don't understand, why does he want to defeat Lunaria so badly!?

He should know he is nothing more then an annoying insect in her eyes! Besides from the looks of it, she doesn't even know his name?"

His lips curled as he glanced at his Frost Demon.

"I suppose it must be related to there opposing elements Master~

Regardless, Pride is there, in the Land of Raging Flames, overseeing that war, so that those few Progenitors doesn't do much harm to the demon realm~

Not to mention, the war has already killed a few 100-thousand True Demon Gods! Millions on Millions of Demon Gods! And uncountable lower being!~

Nonetheless the casualties aren't that high because of Pride's presence there, so everything is good!~ "

Demon nodded evenly! "Where is Wisteria!?" ... ... ... ... ...
