Chapter 112: Chapter 112 - Lonely



The moment that Darius heard that Ariel had an ex-boyfriend, the look on his face had completely changed. He was frowning and he was clearly unhappy.

"I\'m not jealous," Darius declared. "Just tell me more about this Lucifer, who is he and where is he?"

"Lucifer…well, he\'s everywhere that Ariel is. He\'s a bit…how to say…obsessed with her. They only dated for a week at most and he got absolutely obsessed with Ariel in that short of a time."

Darius nodded as he could totally understand how such a thing was possible. After all, he only had spent a few hours with her, but he had loved almost every second with her, especially when they were in the same bed as one another.

"What about his identity, is he a God?" Darius asked.

"Kind of, Lucifer is different from most."

Persephone hesitated for a slight second, trying to think how to continue her sentence but it was instantly spotted by Darius.

"How is he different?"

"Well, he\'s not a God. That\'s how different he is."

"Then, what the hell is he?"

Persephone smirked. "A Demon, that\'s what he is. The King of Demons to be more precise. Though, don\'t worry, Demons and Gods are practically the same, we\'re both self-centered people who are extremely powerful. Don\'t believe the stories you found on Earth about the difference between Gods and Demons, there aren\'t many apart from the appearance and how we call each other."

Darius nodded pretty quickly. However, he was still a bit shocked when he heard that Lucifer was the Kind of Demons. As far as he knew, there weren\'t any rankings amongst the Gods, so he was a little confused about what Persephone had just said.

"Why is he a King, though?"

Persephone took a sip of her tea once more. "Right, I forgot about that. The other difference between Gods and Demons is the fact that they have an official hierarchy of who\'s the most powerful. Basically, Lucifer is the most powerful Demon."

"Then, what about Ariel? How powerful is she?"

Persephone rubbed her chin very slowly. "Well, Gods and Goddesses don\'t have an official ranking. But she\'s definitely up there, along with a few others. By the way, I\'m more powerful than Ariel."

Persephone smiled and bumped up her chest as if extremely proud of that fact.

Nevertheless, Darius only shook his head. Persephone could easily be lying about her strength.

"Alright, so you\'re saying that Lucifer will follow Ariel everywhere?" Darius asked, remembering what Persephone had just said.

"Yes. In fact, he probably already noticed that she left her personal space and entered a world containing humans inside. However, luckily for you, he most likely ignores that she has a disciple. Because if that were to happen, well…let\'s say that you would be in big trouble for sure."

Darius could read between the lines of what Persephone had just said. Basically, if Lucifer found out about his existence, he would get killed or be in great danger.

Nevertheless, Darius couldn\'t care less. He was still adamant about humiliating him as much as possible.

"Do you think that Lucifer will also come to my world?" Darius asked as Persephone clearly had a much better idea of how Lucifer acted.

"Uh, that would be impossible. To be honest, I have no clue how Ariel managed to enter your world. We aren\'t allowed to, but it seemed she managed to make it possible. However, that won\'t be the case for Lucifer, well, not anytime soon."

"That\'s why he will try to contact her through disciples, by giving some of his powers to some humans to go after Ariel."

Darius smirked when he heard that.

"Will he be able to see through the eyes of those disciples?"

After all, that would be a great way to humiliate a Demon King.

"Most likely. But why are you asking me about all of that?" Persephone smiled. "What are you planning exactly?"

"Me? I\'m not planning anything; don\'t worry about it."

Persephone eyed Darius weirdly, wondering what was going on in that mind of his. However, when she tried to hear his thoughts, she couldn\'t find anything. It seemed he knew that she could read his thoughts in this place.

"So, uh, how do I leave this place?" Darius asked Persephone, who still hadn\'t done anything crazy.

"Leave? You\'re staying here until that bitch wakes up."

Darius frowned slightly. He wasn\'t sure how Persephone knew when Ariel would wake up, and he also had no idea of what he was supposed to be talking about with Persephone.

"Alright, then, what are we supposed to do? What do you want to talk about?"

Persephone shrugged. "Nothing much. We can sit in silence. You can give me some company."

Darius nodded as he sat in silence. It was quite awkward, but he had no idea what she liked or disliked, so he just kept quiet and kept her company.

Darius had already noticed that Persephone was extremely lonely. She was definitely different from the rest of the Goddesses and Gods. After all, her affinity was death, which probably made it difficult for her to make friends.

As far as he could tell, Persephone had decided to give Darius the [Link] skill so that she could have someone to talk to every night. Darius honestly couldn\'t imagine what it felt like spending days, or, even worse, years, stuck in this place, all alone with no one to talk to.

Knowing that there would be hours of waiting in this place, Darius decided to start the conversation as he couldn\'t handle the awkward silence between the two of them.

So, he formed the biggest smile he could in this situation and looked over to Persephone, who was looking into the darkness.

"So, do you like taking care of the dead?"

Persephone looked over toward Darius, surprised that he had talked by himself.

"The dead? Not really, it\'s just my duty."

"Oh, I see. Then…"

Darius continued asking her questions until Ariel woke up. By the end of their conversation, Persephone and Darius had become much closer.

In fact, the two of them were laughing loudly.

However, unfortunately, Ariel had woken up, which meant that it was time for Darius to leave.

"Well, this was nice." Darius smiled, not expecting it. "I guess I\'ll see you tomorrow night."

"See you…" Persephone said, her voice distant as she snapped her fingers.

Then, Darius completely disappeared from where he was standing, and a look of loneliness once more appeared on Persephone\'s face.

"Ah…it\'s already over."

She pulled back the chair she had been sitting on, slowly placed her cup of tea on her table, stood up, and started walking into the darkness.

"It was nice, finally talking to someone alive…"

As she continued to walk inside the darkness, she arrived in front of an altar where thousands of humans were in a single row, waiting for her judgment.

\'Should I also make you my disciple?\' Persephone thought in the back of her mind with a faint smile.
