"Premodial Gods, who are they, why have I not heard of them before"
The new revelation got Mike more curious.
"Premodial Gods have been sleeping since the beginning of time. They are responsible for creation itself, their power is enough to take down a solar system with only a wave of their hand."
Mike felt like his ears were deceiving him, how can a being be that strong and how can he himself have something that could make a God turn into such a being.
"Premodial beings also have what Gods like to call Gods chosen. Of course those are rare and you might never see one in your entire life. Their power rivals that of Gods and can even kill them.
"You mean an ordinary human gained power capable of killing Old Gods, we are not talking about lesser Gods here right"
The news just sounds too much to handle.
"Well yes, I have one myself"
"..."
"What do you mean, are you saying that you have a chosen. Are you a Primordial God?"
"Yes, I was asleep for aeons, I recently woken up, I needed to meet you before you get converted or die."
Words hard to believe if he did not stand before the very being.
"You want me to become your chosen one as well?"
"I wish, But someone above me has already chosen you"
"You mean the world conscious is the one who wants me to become a demonlord to deal with the matters of the Gods"
snap!
"Procisely, there are things the world conscious can and can't do. I'm here as an overseer,I can't interfere unless the need arrives. You see.. Ahem you are also training to become a Primordial God, but that is all I can tell you at this second."
"Wh…"
Knock! Knock!
"Show yourself in Sebastian"
The butler walked in with a contract on a tray. Presented it in front of Mike.
"So what do you say Mike? You have so much anger within you, and a whole lot of punching bags that have been nagging you to pay them attention. Humanity owes you so much. It's about time you went to collect the debt"
Mike took the contract off the Tray and took the contract for a closer look. The whole thing was blank with only a sign here mark. He looked back at Satan with a confused look.
"The contents of the contract will reveal themselves when you are soon enough"
Satan answered before Mike posed the question.
Mike put his palm on his face and started to drag it down. Muttered in a low voice.
"I really going to put my life in the hands of the embodiment of evil"
Satan's ears perked and he just shrugged his shoulders.
"Just seal the contract with your blood and you can start your journey to become the embodiment of destruction"
When Nannia heard that she became visibly worried about what that meant. Even though so much of her belief has been proven to be falses, in her mind there will always be a clear divide between good and evil.
Satan turned his head towards her. Understood what was going on in her mind and just said one sentence.
"Destruction is a the first step of renewal"
Then back to Mike.
"Just so you know,You have total freedom on whether or not you take on this task, it will be an odious one. You might die. You can still back out, but then you will only have to live in this castle forever."
He turned and walked towards a window, the drapes opened and the dark glass of the window started to glow before it showed the world from above. There were all kinds of terrane, oceans. Forests that are only red, from trees, soil and weirdly the sky also. There were barren areas, which had withered trees and dark skies.
The entire place was so fantastical, almost like a dream.
"This is the underworld, it is nothing like the things they told you about in those texts they teach you in those indoctrination camps. You need power, influence and a strong background to make it anywhere. Right now, you aren't even strong enough to get off that make shitty cha..."
"I'll sign, you don't need to speak anymore."
Mike didn't even let him finish.
"I have been holding all this rage from the day I was born"
His eyes Narrowed.
"It is laughable to think such beings wanted me to bow my head to them."
His voice got more defiant
"Why should I lower my head to another being"
"Is it because my fist can't turn rock to dust"
"Or my roar can't shake the heavens"
"Should my very presence agitate the very skies I walk under to call myself a being beyond many?"
"Such shallow world view is the reason that I, Even cripled as I am, shall not bow my once blind eyes to beings of lesser ego than I"
Then he turned his head to face Satan.
"Even if this contract was even written against my favour, if it gives me the power to put my knee on their neck, I shall sign"
"Ahem, well, in all fairness, that contract doesn't give you the power per-say, you will need to work hard on obtaining that power. That contract just helps you get the one thing you need to get there faster"
Mike looked at Satan, wondering if he really is the person he says he is. Surely an all powerful being doesn't act like this.
"No matter, hand me something to poke myself with"
Mike stretched out his arm, Sabastian gave him a small dagger.
"You can keep it, as soon as it tastes your blood it will bond with you"
Mike was a little confused by that statement, he quickly pushed to the back of his head and poke a small wound on his hand.
The moment the blood touched the blade, the blade started to shake. The blood gravitated towards the blade like a straw in a can. Mike could feel his blood rush through his finger, viciously passing through.
Panic started to set in, he wasn't expecting this small thing to be so thirty.
"Hey, Hey. What did you just give me? I'll die of blood loss if this doesn't stop."
The two didn't move and just watched.
"Help him, can't you see his face is losing colour"
Nannia was visibly panicked.
"Don't worry, the Dagger has already recognised him as its master. It is just a bit hungry. It has been sitting for so long without a Master, it has lost so much of its power, it knows when to stop"
The carefree attitude of the two beings had her very frustrated. She couldn't do anything.
"It's Ok, I don't feel any pain"
Soon the blade stopped, Mike struggled to get a small amount of blood to come out. After a few seconds of struggle.
Press!
A blood seal was placed on the contract. Just after he was done pressing his hand on the contract, he blacked out from the blood loss.
"Mike! Mike.... Wake up!"
Nannia panicked after what just happened.
"It's ok, let him rest, he will be fine soon enough."
Confused, she wanted to ask him what he meant. But something stopped her before she could ask.
The contract that was just on the floor started to radiate a rainbow of colours. From those colors blue strands of energy emerged out like the hands of an octopus. The paper itself started to tear apart before the pieces changed into a ball of violet energy. The ball started to levitate from the ground, floating towards the unconscious Mike.
"Sir, I didn't know you would use that on him, must have so much faith in him"
Sebastian broke his silence for once.
"Look who is talking, don't think I don't know that dagger you gave him. If the other knew about this they will be livid, Lucy has been nagging you about it for quite sometime"
"I don't know what you talking about"
Sebastian feigned ignorance,
Nannia was too focused on what was happening to Mike to pay attention to the two.
The Ball of energy had already made it to Mike. The blue energy strands wrapped around his entire body, The energy ball headed straight to his forehead.
"He sure is lucky to have lost his conscious, this part can be quite painful"
Ahhhhhhhh! Ahhhhhhh!
"Ow, I spoke too soon"
The Ball of energy was forcing itself through Mike with brute force. The pain could be described as Mike's soul being forcefully torn into. It felt like a new organ was being transplanted but the body was actively rejecting it. Soon Mike's consciousness was slipping in and out.
Nannia felt like fainting through all this ordeal, she couldn't bear to see Mike being subjected through all this pain. She forced herself awake in case Mike needed a familiar face the moment the whole thing was done.
