The Great Demon System

"I— I GIVEEE UPPPP!!! PLEASE HAVE MERCY!! AHHHHHHHHH!!" He broke down crying, trembling out of control beneath the mighty boot of the supreme demonic overlord. The very same girl who was now ingrained in his very being and instilled almighty dread, unlike anything his limited human mind could even fathom.

Cade Walker was indeed a resilient soul, with every new beginning after a nightmare of despair, there laid a hint of hope. Dim, ever so meagre, it still remained, a new beginning, a new chance to escape this hellish nightmare without death…

But no matter what he did… Whatever method he would employ no matter how creative… There was absolutely no escape…

With his knowledge, he conducted several intentionally failed attempts simply to gather information before killing himself to reset, but even still, using any kind of loophole, his chances were grim.

Any form of assassination ended in failure… Anytime he would even attempt at exposing Kane to the public they would scoff and not believe a single word, especially when he would do a public lie detector test… His various attempts at contacting a higher power were completely futile.

All ended in his cruel torture by the hands of those two same demonic figures, and all were followed up by darkness and the light of a new day, or rather the same day, the day he could never escape…

All of this led up to this very moment. After a time that not even he knew… For what felt like several life spans, he had finally cracked and had succumbed to reality; a reality that he now barely knew.

He never adjusted to it all. For how many times he had spent within there, his sense of being faded and his memory waned. His previous life of glory and the original timeline that had entered him into this predicament were gray within the nightmare of bloody red.

All he now knew was fear and pain. There was no hope left, and all he now wanted was the sweet, sweet release of death, and to do that, he must finally speak aloud the pocket of memory he had held on for so long...

"Hm hm! So you finally speak then! A very wise decision!" She laughed, her voice echoing in this world of endless shadows. "I am curious! You are free to speak!"

"YES!! YES!! I SHALL REVEAL EVERYTHING!!" He whaled.

He shook crying, gritting his teeth before he looked up to face her with reddened horror.

"O— One hundred years ago when the green light of creation was blessed upon us… It was by no mere accident… Green rain happens on many planets, transforming alien animals into frenzied beasts and changing how its world functioned, yet the earth was different… These beams of light… We… WE ARE ONE OF THE EMPYREAN PILLARS— AHHHHHHHHH!!"

Abruptly, as he uttered those words, his body began to glow a brilliant white that shined to all ends of the space. For an instant, even Avilia shielded her sights from the stinging pain before gazing back at him beneath her with open eyes.

There was a beam that suddenly entered the space, smiting the general where he stood. His eyes were yeary red, his pours leaked disgusting ooze and his mouth foamed like waterworks, yet surprisingly, there he stood conscious through it all.

"Empyrean Pillars?" Avilia questioned as she assessed the situation and brought out her magic to keep things under control.

"YES YES!!" He shrieked. "I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS!! I REALLY DON'T! THAT'S JUST WHAT THE ANGELS TOLD ME!!!"

"Angels!?" Her eyes grew wider.

"ANGELS YES!! I'VE SPOKEN TO MANY!! THEY FIRST CAME HERE WHEN THE LIGHT SHOWED UP!!" He coughed, screaming at the top of his lungs and slowly losing his voice.

"They didn't say much! All they said was to keep an eye out for any demons!! They even gave us devices to track them! That's how we found out about Kane's parents!! The angels gave me a flute that allowed me to summon them by playing a melody. I handed them over to the angels! But I made damn sure to torture those weaklings for all they knew!!" He laughed through the maddening pain.

"Fun! Yes! It was much fun!! Yet they did not speak!! Not even a single groan of pain! It was silence! It got on my nerves!! I didn't get anything beyond their names!! No motivation, no status, no nothing! Yet there were people around me who made a big deal about those weaklings!! HAHAHA!! I would have done the same for you!! But the flute has been stolen!!" He laughed once more, his body slowly fading into oblivion.

"That's it!! That's the truth!! NOW LET ME FINALLY DIE IN AGONY WITH THE LITTLE SANITY I HAVE LEFT!!"

*Grrr*

Avilia grunted trying her best to comprehend and contain all that happened, but that face of struggle slowly melted into a grimace and a wide face of frustration witnessing the supreme general disintegrate into white before her very eyes, laughing through all the pain.

'What's going on! He's killing himself!! But how!?' She lifted her arms out wide. Her eyes shined royal purple along with the tips of her fingers as she created a bubble around the supreme general trying to stop whatever was suddenly happening with all the power at her disposal.

'What happened!! He's gone crazy!! Ah— the angels and gods must have placed a spell on him to keep his mouth shut. Those damn angels!! How did I allow this to happen!? How did I not realize this?' She began laughing through her gritted teeth.

'That damned general! How long was he in that nightmare spell of mine? A few days? A week? A month? Perhaps even a year? Or was it even longer?' She wondered. 'All I set as a requirement for him to break free was to speak the truth, yet he refused for so long until he completely gave up on living and chose the only way out…'

"The angels must have promised him the worst pain he could ever imagine if he spoke, and only now did he break and completely give up on living!! I, DEMON LORD AVILIA GRAYMORE WILL NOT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN!!"
