Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

Chapter 370: Infernal Lightning

"COME"

Shouting towards the skies, the azure gaze of the Ruler of the Heavens seemed to crease into a profound stare. Carrying with him the very power I could not even begin to understand, he raised his hand.

Suddenly the infinitely large nebula began to shrink till all that was left was a spherical ball that buzzed thunder and lightning. Holding me into his sight, a faint glimmer of contempt flashed as he spoke.

"Judgment of Morningstar!"

Shifting to scarlet in an instant, a beam so grand and might, carrying a faint power of the Seven Heavens, flashed.

Carrying with me a single thought, Soulforce seized my body the very instant Aldrich spoke the words judgment. Shifting the Flames of Hellfire into the form of lighting.

Tearing all of reality apart the closer it drew, I could not even perceive who lived or survived as the single blast of scarlet lighting touched a single point of my Spear the instant I chanted the words, "Infernal Lightning."

A/N: Spoken upon in chapter 253

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Consuming the nine realms that clung to the Tree of Yggdrasil. I roared at the top of my lungs as my Spear began to take in the sheer power of lightning tearing through the heavens. Licking my lips, my power of adaptation began to ripple off me.

I was already hit by Aldriches lightning long ago, and now that my Flames of Hellfire could take the form of any element, why would I not have allowed it to temper my body? Lighting was one of my main elements; while I used fire more often, it was still one of the three elements I was told I had a profound affinity to.

Consumed in the power of the Judgment of Morningstar, my laughter once more echoed out as I roared, "Aldrich! This is not enough! Not anymore, but I thank you for this gift. All this Ether will sever me well in the days to come!" I roared, pushing the arte of Infernal Lightning to hights ever meant to.

Bellowing as my arms began to shiver and pealing at the sheer power entering my Spear, my eyes crossed with the shocked expression of Aldrich.

"You are but a mortal. What you are doing is the impossible." He claimed as if his words were the words of the God!

"Aye," I told, bleeding from my pore, but my mind was set as I grinned, "But that is why I created this Spear, why I studied your intent, why allowed myself to be tormented. I see every path within the infinite sea of elements. And your's Aldrich is nothing new to me!"

Releasing the emblem from my eyes, the Spear of Noctem began to shudder, releasing a fiendish light that started to cover the Judgment of Morningstar. Suddenly my name that laid still upon the Spear began to change, turning into the very crest of Noctem.

Narrowing my eyes, stone-cold darkness seemed to consume the very bed of chaos, taking in the entirety of the Judgment of Morningstar the moment it appeared.

"You think it's my first time seeing Infernal Lightning? You are far from done, boy." Aldrich commented with all-seeing eyes.

Arching my lips, I shook my head, "believe it, or not but it is your intent that created this lightning. Your Ether that had it brought it into creation, and if I were, I would sever all connect before you end up like Lilith and Myself.

Widening his eyes, nine infernal emblems representing each hell began to take form around my Spear as an Eternal power began to ripple off into reality. Sending waves that had the already decimated realm of Midgard into further chaos.

I turned my back to the Ruler of Heaven, towards a devil upon his knees clenching his missing arm, and the angel whose wings were all but gone. Arching my lips, I could not help but grin.

"It is not over, Arsene!" Aldrich roared as I twisted my head towards him with scorn, beginning to fade from my sights.

"But I think it is. Your Tribulations failed. I don't know what type of lighting you used, but from here on out, I will be completely immune to any kind. Not only did you fail, but you also gave me two gifts. The Elemental Ether of Lightning which is now contained within my Spear, and this."

Exploding out a massive amount of worldly qi suddenly showered the decrepit realm. Holding a vibrant smile, I could feel the very world within my hands. I was a World King.

Shocked, his entire body, along with the nebula of death, vanished from my sights in an instant.

"You skipped all the Nascent realm and Dao stages?" Sitri foolishly barked, greatly confusing me.

"Come now, you of all people should know. When I was less than one year of age, I had comprehended my first Dao. I had a seed, which later began to grow. While I lacked the energy of a nascent soul and so on, I had very much comprehended everything needed to be in the Realm of World. Honestly, if I had enough energy, then I would definitely go for a demigod." I scornfully mocked, lowering myself towards the man that laid still upon his knee.

Standing close, not fearful of anything, Levi-chan, with cold aqua blue eyes, leaned on my shoulder, "Three spikes, in my daughter, and a single one in my other. Truly Sitri, do you really believe that Asmodeus would just turn the other cheek after what you did to his two daughters?"

"A DEAL IS A DEAL!" He shouted, but the lips of the abyssal walker listlessly curved into a captivating smile.

"Indeed, a deal is a deal. Asmo hands are tied, but mine are not." She declared, turning to Lilith, who was slowly turning paler with each passing second. Shaking her head, she whispered into my ear, "Watch out, Arsene. When you two wake up, you had better watch your back."

Confused by the second warning, Levi-Chan backed away while Baphomet smiled, "Truly two great sights you have shown me, boy. TO think you a man who is still but a moral can show me such a thing. The Infernal Lightning is one our most useless artes due to its insane requirements, but it seemed like we may have to change that."

Chuckling, Yeshamiel suddenly flashed, standing with a flaming halo and a cruel grimace, "Sitri, you bloody devil DIE!"
