Chapter 873 Lucifer's Cup Bearer
873 Lucifer's Cup Bearer
Lenny waved his hand and the tube containing hector within floated towards him. "Do not hurt him," Coco suddenly spoke up. "Hurt him!?" Lenny shook his head, "there is no need for that. However, I understand why you brought him here." On Saying this, Lenny waved his hand and Red lightning struck the Sphere containing the devil heart. the process was endurimng but eventually, the Sphere broke open.
*Boom!*
The entire place was suddenly filled with a cloud of black-chaotic smoke. It sent dust and stone into the air, and it made the atmosphere chilly. Lenny's hair blew behind him, but he was not moved by this. Instead, he spoke up, "there are still six hundred and sixty six pillars in your body. Hide your power, and let me take them out for you."
His words were subtle, but the Black smoke suddenly subsided. Apparently, lenny's words had reached him. Lenny nodded as he floated towards the Devil heart. Even till this moment, it continued to beat steadily even though it did not pump blood into anything.
Lenny waved his hands and red lightning struck the pillars. Even though these pillars had been placed by much stronger opponents, lenny was able to remove them because of two things. The first was the red lightning that carried the recognition of the Asmodeus family bloodline. The Second was because the pillars had been there for far too long and had therefore weakened by a significant lot. Although lenny still needed a bit of effort, but according to the Satan system, even he could remove the pillars. And so Lenny began, one after the other. By the time he had removed the sixth one, the Beating of the heart increased. And on its own, it expended efforts to expel the remaining from its body. Lenny pulled Hector close from the tube and then he dropped him before the Beating heart. "You can use this vessel."
Instantly, the giant heart dissolved to become one with the smoke. And then before their eyes, the smoke rushed into all the orifices of Hector's face.
Once in, Hector shook like an earthworm sprayed with salt. And then black veins covered his body and entire body. His skin became red and then three inverted eyes appeared on his forehead, looking around as if searching for prey.
And then, it all disappeared. hector's skin returned to its human form and the inverted eyes also disappeared. Slowly, hector got to his feet. "Finally, I am whole again." His voice echoed as if there was another person talking through him from the inside. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lenny could not help but ask, "which one are you, a devil, or Hector?"
The response surprised Lenny as hector's voice returned to normal, "I am both! this body has carried my essence since its birth. The devil pill only unlocked my power within it. In Truth, there was and wasn't ever Hector. Only a part of me seeking to be reunited with the main body no matter the cost."
Lenny nodded in understanding. he had guessed this much, mostly because of the memories he had stolen from consuming Baroness Everbee's core. From What Lenny gathered, there was no gladiator under Cuban's thumb that had not been an experimental subject. Hector even had parents that carried unique parts and abilities that had come from this Devil heart. The meeting of those parts created hector, and every decision he had ever made was to ensure that by some means, he was reunited with his main body. After Hector had run away from Glenn's Territory that time, he had wandered right into Coco's hands. And Coco sensing what the man truly was, was elated and immediately took him so that this human part would be reunited with the main body. hector looked at his hands, "it is true what they say, the human gene is truly the most perfect one created by the one above all. Even a devil like myself can merge with such a meat suite perfectly. Even with the stain of sin, it still works well."
Just then, Lenny, without fear walked up to Hector, "Everyone kept warning me about Uriel even though he is an angel. Even the fates do not think well of him. For whatever reason, I do not know, but you, no one said anything about you. Even though you are clearly a devil. I think this to mean something."
"Oh, and what is that?" Hector asked carrying a mischievous smile on his face.
"Its either you are going to be useful to me, or in the grand scheme of things, you are actually very useless. So tell me, which is it? Are you for me, or do I need to quench you here and now?"
"And what if i am neither. What will you do about it?"
"I wonder..." lenny responded. On Saying this, lenny's Aura filled the place rushing over to overwhelm Hector. lenny was not a fool. he now had a better understanding of the world. Even if only as prisoners. If either Uriel or this Devil had strength that was beyond the great demon rank, then the cosmic law would not let them associate with the eighth earth like this. Of course, it was easy to guess that they were either at the peak of the realm or they were a foot in the greater demon rank. Or even better, lenny guesse dthat their power level was much higher than it was currently. Unfortunately for them, centuries in prison had seen that their power level had drastically reduced. Of course, this last option was the most likely one. Hector looked at Lenny in the eyes and then he gave a side smile, "You carry the guts of the master. If you were any less, then I would have killed you myself. On Saying this, hector took a knee, "I am Moranda, commander of the sixth squadron of the Sixth army of the Lucifer royal army, Personal guard to the drinking glass of the Morningstar. And I am at your service... master's beloved!"
