"Tell me, where is he?" Galadriel, arrogantly standing across the iron cell and asking. Accompanied by four angels who escorted her down to the deepest prison in the sky world.
Aetheria smiled thinly as if the wound of yesterday's separation did not exist. "Father knows, he played father's role very well. Unlike someone."
Galadriel's forehead wrinkled in annoyance. "Do you also know a child who is not devoted to his parents?"
"I know it's me."
"No need to talk nonsense anymore. Just tell me where is he?"
"He's gone after fighting hard."
Indeed true. Since a while ago Galadriel could still feel Ethan's presence thanks to the shackles that chained his body, but those shackles were no longer felt after the commotion happened. Although losing most of his power Ethan's presence was still felt strongly, and now that presence has vanished which means...
"He's dead? Hhha..." Her laughter echoed in that deep and dark place.
Galadriel's laughter did not last long. "Where is the infinity eye? Where is the red eye with the star symbol?! Not being able to activate it doesn't mean it just disappears like that."
"What does father mean? If he is gone, then that eye will go with him."
"Don't deceive me! If it's not with you, then maybe he gave it to one of his demon comrades. Right. How cunning his mind is."
Aetheria, even though her eyes stared at her father as usual, but her heart whispered something, "Father is so ambitious, greedy and cunning."
"Prepare the troops! We will invade the remaining demons! Tonight we will make a great victory!"
Aetheria was shocked to hear Galadriel's exclamation. The body that was silent even while being insulted, immediately rose and gripped the iron cell angrily. "What does father mean?!"
Galadriel glanced at Aetheria, "Ah, do you want to join? Then I will free you."
"No! I will not be willing!"
Galadriel heaved a rough sigh. "I hate your stubborn attitude. I want to see how long you will last like that. I will record the invasion with a magic ball, and give it to you."
Galadriel turned around and walked away, Aetheria shouted at him, asking him to stop. "Father! Wait, father! You can't do that! Father already made a promise with Ethan!"
Galadriel's steps stopped for a moment to say, "I forgot to tell you that the agreement is only valid while he is still alive. After he dies, I am free to do anything." Then, he continued his steps.
In the prison that was dark again because the entrance door had been closed again, Aetheria's body knelt because her knees could no longer support her body. In the midst of silence and loneliness, among the wounds of loss, Aetheria's tears fell wetting her cheeks. No one knows her condition.
Meanwhile, in the deepest realm, a group of high-ranking demons sat on chairs surrounding a large table. At the head of the table Lucifer sat upright with his back leaning and his legs crossed. The others on both sides of the table.
"Lucifer, as the first great Demon which means becoming the replacement when the Master is not here... what will you do with this emptiness?"
Lucifer who rose to the first position of the Great Demon was only silent with an empty face. Suddenly filling the first position and replacing Ethan... what if it were you? Rising in position not by deliberation, but by defeating other great demons.
Lucifer does not know whether they object to his sudden attack yesterday or not. He prioritizes the condition of the underworld more than other people's opinions. And now, it ends up that he is the one leading after coldly injuring the other demons, even though they have not yet recovered.
"I don't know. I don't know."
Amon clenched the knuckles of his hands. Still not accepting his defeat yesterday and annoyed with the answer from Lucifer's mouth that sounded light. "You...! You attacked us to rise to the first position, then you don't know what you will do? Are you kidding?" His voice growled.
"The Master does not want us to take revenge, and the Master does not want us to continue this war. So, what should we do?"
Beelzbub banged the table angrily. "You...! You better get lost! You are not the Master! You are also not part of us! You are Galadriel's dog!" His shout echoed in that closed room.
Asmodeus who sat next to Beelzbub patted his back so he would calm down again. "Calm down. Not only he will be confused, you would be the same if you were in his position. Lucifer is right to take over the leadership because among us... he is the one who has more mature thinking."
"That's right. If it weren't for Lucifer, don't even think we could prepare troops. Hearing that an attack is coming we wouldn't even know." Karya added, so that Beelzbub could sit back calmly even though he was still glancing cynically at Lucifer.
"You guys are so noisy! Can't you discuss calmly? I'm trying to sleep!" Not sleeping as a fatigue reliever, Belphegor is only used to sleeping to get rid of sadness and memories that hurt him.
Belial sat in the farthest position on the right side of the table exhaled a rough breath until one room could hear it. "I can't deceive myself even though I'm very good at deceiving and lying. This is really annoying." He clicked his tongue annoyedly at the end.
In the room there was no more sound heard. Each of them was busy with their own thoughts. Oppressed, losing in roles, the Master had to sacrifice and the residence was destroyed along with the inhabitants who lived there. There is nothing more terrible than thinking about all this.
"This world and its inhabitants only want to live in peace. This world and its inhabitants only want to live in peace~" Lucifer muttered the same sentence. "But is it fair if it ends like this? White becomes black and black becomes white. Really doesn't make sense."
"Choosing this choice... have I done right? I think so." Lucifer touched his chest, feeling his heartbeat beating rhythmically while saying, "It turns out I admire Master Ethan more than I realized. I want to bring a good future for this world. Yes, that's it." Lucifer's smile was etched even though so thin.
"The Master has asked us to live well without him and the Master asked us to include his child. We will do that until the Master and Miss return." Said Lucifer who was nodded happily by the others.
"Yes. That's how it will be in the future while we look for a way to save the Master and Miss."
What was said outside, is not the same as what was said in Lucifer's heart. "You all live as well as possible. I myself will take revenge on Galadriel and bring a new world for us to live in."
No one knows what Lucifer's heart contains. They are busy talking about future plans and ignoring the top corner of the chair where in silence Lucifer is planning something big. It will not be told now, because it will happen far in the future.
"GET OUT YOU ALL!"
"WE WILL BLOW UP THIS PLACE!"
"RIGHT! DESTROY THIS PLACE!"
"THIS PLACE IS A CURSED PLACE AND THOSE WHO LIVE THERE ARE DESPICABLE CREATURES WHO KILL INNOCENT HUMANS!"
"KILL, KILL, KILL!"
"DESTROY, DESTROY, DESTROY!"
Those shouts sounded thunderous outside. Thousands of humans who looked like ants, and angels who looked like flocks of sea birds surrounded the entire palace area. The surprise attack is not exempt to provoke the anger of those inside to be ignited.
