Chapter 47: What’s Coriel Up To
Realm of Shinto
Lucifer, Bariel and Aphrodite just arrived back at Shinto and was about to go inside the Devil’s Palace when Tiānkōng ran out to welcome him.
"Greetings master, welcome back from your travels" she bowed her head along with the other servants and after that, she raised her head and brought out a letter and handed it to Lucifer "this letter was delivered by a lesser god from the Greco Realm, said it is from the Primal goddess, Gaia" she said after giving him the letter.
Lucifer took the letter from Tiānkōng "you can go now, I will send for you when I need your assistance" he said and with that, Tiānkōng left them along with the servants "I wonder what made her write to me this early"
"There is only one way to find out, why don’t you open it brother?" Said Bariel as he was wondering who this Gaia could be and what is her relationship with his brother.
"You are right, brother" said Lucifer as he opened the letter.
**Lucifer, I am writing to inform you that the war between Zeus and his father is about to start but you told me not to inform very early and only when the war has fully started but something cake up and I had to write, you see, two of your sisters that go by the name, Coriel and Amiel are here in the Greco Realm and they had already arrived in Mt.
Olympus long before we arrived and had to make a deal with Amiel, the one present at the time before they could stay there, and now I have heard that Coriel has also made dealings with Nyx, someone who is feared in the entire Cosmos, I don’t know what is going on but we require your presence here, you are the only one who can deal with all of these. Gaia**
Lucifer sighed after reading the content of the letter and turned to look at Bariel "I thought you said Coriel was still in Hell, so what the hell is she doing here and interacting with the people here?" He asked as he was told by Bariel that Coriel remained in Hell after they all left and now he just found out that she was not there and from the looks of it she has made a friend for herself " and I thought she was the lazy one"
Lucifer said as he walked into the Devil’s Palace as he thought of what to do next.
Meanwhile Bariel on the other hand took the letter Lucifer threw away and read the content of it with a shocked look "I thought she was suppose to be the lazy one. How did she have the time to be making friends? She should be sleeping" said Bariel as he passed the letter to Aphrodite who was looking at him confuse.
After reading the letter, Aphrodite threw it away and looked at Bariel "isn’t Bariel supposed to be the sleeping beauty? I thought you said she was in Hell, so what is she doing here?" She also asked what everybody was asking.
The reason why everybody was like this is because Coriel, a Arch Demon/Archangels and the sin of sloth was always lazy even before she became the lord of sloth and never bothered to do anything in Heaven rather than sleep and sleep which made the other Archangels and Angels alike complain about her to their Father but he did not and just turned a deaf ear to them.
But this did not go well with Coriel as she feels that the murmuring and the gossips flying around Heaven is disturbing her precious resting time so, she always devise a plan to get all the Angels talking behind her back to stop and what she did was something nobody should ever speak of and that’s when everyone knew to never mess with her again.
So when Lucifer proposed the idea of rebelling against their Father, she accepted knowing that they were not going to succeed and their Father would not destroy them rather send them away, cast them to another plane so that she can have her quiet time and just as she expected, it happened and she along the rebel Archangels were cast down to Hell where she was even given a sin that compliments her nature.
She told Bariel all these who in turn told Lucifer who already knew from the memories of his predecessor that Coriel is someone that is always hundred of steps ahead of her friends and foes alike, she is unpredictable and that’s why he kept her by his side all this time.
But now she was here and he did not know about it and worst of it all, she is now friends with Nyx who was also another thorn in the ass.
But he is Lucifer Morningstar, the Devil, and he knew that Coriel is not vying for his title but something that has to do with Nyx and he would very much like to know what that is which means it is time he goes back to the Realm of Greco and catch up with his sisters.
"Get ready, we are going back to the Greco Realm"
Lucifer said as his voice traveled to the ears of Bariel and Aphrodite who were outside and thinking about what Coriel was up to.
"Well, I guess we are going to find our answer soon" said Bariel to Aphrodite as he walked inside and picked a room for himself and kept some of his souvenirs from the Domain of Aesir before coming out to see that Lucifer and Aphrodite together with Tiānkōng waiting for him.
"Let’s go" Bariel said as he walked to them and they were all teleported out of Pangu Realm.
The Heavenly Jade Palace
"Huh, that was fast, I thought he was going to stay a little longer before he leaves" said Shangdi who sat on his throne currently in a meeting with his court when he felt the presence of Lucifer disappeared not long after he arrived.
"Anything the problem, Emperor Shangdi?" one of the Court officials asked when he saw him zone out for a bit while they were having a meeting.
Shangdi came to his senses and smiled "no, there’s nothing to worry about, what were you saying earlier?" He said before thinking in his heart [I guess something urgent came up for him to leave immediately, I wonder what that is and I hope it keeps him there for long]
"The God King Ra has asked us to join him and the Realm of Celtic as they march against the Devil" the Court official from before said drawing Shangdi’s attention back to the room.
"No, we are not going to join them, I don’t want more problems than the one we can handle and if they ask the reason, tell them we have a crisis of our own to deal with" said Shangdi while thinking of the beings coming from the Dark Domain, a place hidden from his eyes.
The beings from the Dark Domain has been spying on them for years and has form their own system taken from his own and now they want to have a say in his Court but he can’t let them in as he did not know what their agenda is.
"Yes, Emperor"
Realm Of Greco
After the successful of rescue of the Hekatonkheires and the Cyclopes, the entire Greco Realm has been in turmoil as the God King has turned everywhere upside down just to look for where his children has been hiding and get rid of them before they become a problem.
"Have you found them yet?" Sitting on his throne he asked Oceanus who was in charge of everything concerning finding his children and also his daughter, Metis.
Oceanus took a deep breath and sighed "we have searched everywhere and we always end up with nothing, I don’t think they are even in the Realm anymore. Have you asked mother? She should be able to help" said Oceanus.
Chronos snorted when he was asked about his mother "I think mother has no intention of helping us, she has forsaken me and she has every right to since I didn’t hold up my own end of the deal and now my children has done what she always wanted, it would be no surprise that she has even began helping them" Chronos said without even looking at his brothers.
Hyperion, Coeus and Iapetus were also here with him, they were also racking their brains together to figure out where the hell is their sisters and Iapetus’s children, Prometheus and Epimetheus who supposedly choose to follow their mother to rebel.
Coeus as if having an idea on where they might be raised his head and looked at Chronos "for all of our searches, we have always overlooked one particular place because of welcoming they are but what if that’s where they are hiding and there is more to the place than meets the eyes, what if we are seeing just what they want us to see and we fell of their trap and you all know where I am talking about" said Coeus as he smiled triumphantly.
Chronos interest was piqued as he also thought of that place and he remembered that Rhea also has a friend there that goes by the name Adamantheia.
"You mean the Island of Crete"
