Chapter 18: Division
Musabori's face widens as he sees who the person is. Arino looks at Musabori, confused, as he approaches the woman. Arino feels the woman for a pulse and he feels it is faint. Before he could pick her up and try to take care of her health, Akira and Asahi rushes towards her.
Akira uses sealing magic to seal her wounds taken from the battle. As he seals the wounds, the wounds and blood lost manifests into an immense sphere. Asahi uses her healing magic to shatter the now crystalized seal. Arino looks in shock as the twins called Daesig their mother.
Arino: "You guys... Are you guys a part of the Oni Clan?"
Akira: "Yeah we are... our mother tried desperately to bring all of us together, but Satan always kept driving us apart."
That take did not surprise Arino at all. Before the disconnect between the Oni and Akumo Clan, these two clans lived in harmony. Mammon and Netami handle social and financial affairs from the background. But when Satan and Lucifer split apart and caused major calamity to the Realm of The Sins, it destroyed the realm. There were originally 7 Realms, with one realm being exclusive to the Seven Deadly Sins. The Sins lived in a decent agreement with Wrath being the centerpiece on their own agreements. With Wrath now dealing with background affairs with the two clans, Satan decided he wants to rule over this realm. Lucifer, who at the time was one with Satan, decided that he should have control. With this argument, the two split apart into two separate entities. Making the 6 Sins finally turn into the infamous Seven Deadly Sins.
With their separation, Satan and Lucifer have always been at odds with one another, always trying to one up the other. They have never settled their differences even now, with Satan clinging onto the Tenshi power as a last ditch effort to assert his dominance and defeat Lucifer. There were always two issues with this, Wrath and The Most High would always break them apart. In their final fight, Satan seemed like he had the upper hand, but Lucifer wasn't even trying.
Lucifer: "So when will you give up?"
Satan: "I keep asking you the same question, dear twin brother."
It looked like this fight wasn't going to be interrupted this time, but there was only one problem. The realm itself was close to collapse, it wasn't only Satan and Lucifer that were fighting either. It was Lucifer, Mammon, Netami, and Daesig against Nikuyoku and Satan. The Most High was watching this fight from an orb in his realm. He shakes his head in disappointment as he knew they wouldn't get along. It was always the battle of ideas, never about strength. Ego is one hell of a drug at this time. The Most High wanted the Sins to have their own domains but it seems like narcissists will always be narcissists. As The Most High sighs, he teleports to the realm, and fights Satan for himself.
The Most High: "I'll make this quick?"
Satan: "Oh! Are you now? Did you forget who runs this realm?"
The Most High: "Did you forget who created this realm?"
Before Satan can say much, The Most High's eyes glow a cyan color, and a sword appears in his hands. When The Most High fights, he doesn't do much talking; he goes straight in for action. While Satan is blabbering away about how great and mighty he is, he sees The Most High's eyes. He gets excited while his eyes glow violet purple. Before Satan could even blink, he sees his own body standing still while he feels like he's floating. He looks The Most High in his eyes as his violet glow fades away.
With Satan defeated, The Most High asks for a meeting with The Sins. Everyone involved was consumed by shame and disappointment.
The Most High: "You know what I'm going to say, don't you?"
The Sins: "Yes, we know."
The Most High: "Since Satan couldn't control his prideful energy, I'm banishing him to Hell. With the Sins realm at the brink of destruction, I might as well destroy it. I'll rebuild it another time when the actual ruler of the demons arrives."
Mammon: "And when will that be?"
The Most High looks at Mammon and smiles, knowing that the child that Mammon has on the way will be the next ruler of the demons.
The Most High High: "Soon, Mammon. Soon enough."
