Well, that didn't work. I wasn't expecting the little prince to have company, but I guess it's my fault for thinking a member of the royal family wouldn't have protection with him.
Walking around a bit, I slowly made my way deeper and deeper into the heart of Hell. As I continued to walk, the beats became louder and louder until I stood before it.
Oh, how beautiful it was—the billions of souls trapped within. How I wish to consume its essence, but not right now.
If I act too rashly, Lucifer might interfere, or much worse, his father decides to get involved.
Moving away from the heart, I continued to walk within the cave system until I reached my destination. It was my room.
Well, my prison.
When I first manifested within this cave, I cried out to God. Why? Why was I trapped in here?
But he never answered, and as millennia passed, I soon realized… he never cared for me. Not family, not even my sons.
They were born in a world that cared not for them, and what's worse… I couldn't even see or visit them.
And as I walked deeper into my room and sat down on my bed, I started thinking of the different ways I could possibly… kill God.
I knew it wasn't going to be easy, but killing God was never going to be easy. I had the perfect plan as well!
Take Lilith's place, incite a war between the realms so chaotic and destructive it affects the human realm, forcing God to finally intervene—and me sneaking in using the core of Hell, finally killing him!
It was supposed to be easy! But no! Lucifer just had to bring another child into the mix.
Stygian—at first, he was nothing more than a nuisance that I could ignore, but now… now he's Hell's de facto leader.
He single-handedly unified both Heaven and Hell, making my plans for war basically useless.
And what's worse, he's basically unkillable! That knife was really hard to make and would have killed him if that girl wasn't there to intervene!
But that's fine. Even with all these setbacks, I still had an ace up my sleeve.
That adorable little birdie Raum is currently experimenting with the gift I gave him, making monsters that even I can't imagine.
And with the help of the Pale Bloom, those monsters could even damage that goody-two-shoes prince.
But that's for a different time. Right now, I needed to make plans to manipulate Stygian's sister.
She'll be the key in his destruction. Her power, though unrefined and untrained, rivals even Lucifer—and that's what I needed.
Laying down on my bed, I just couldn't help but laugh a bit at how wonderful my new plan was!
Just imagine the climax of the end! In the end of it all! Stygian, crowned Prince of Hell—killed by his own sister!
Oh, the thought of that just turns me on!
But for now… I need to get some beauty sleep. Tomorrow's a big day, after all!

Hello, children. The next five chapters will be the final chapters for this run.
The story is not yet over, as it will only end with either Eve's or Stygian's victory.
So stay tuned for the next five chapters, as they will be rather important, and one will finally introduce Vaggie, Charlie's second harem member.
