Convincing Flora that Mammon was actually an ally now was hard, even now, she still had her doubts. She looked at the image while sighing, as she began to contemplate things.
I know that demons invaded this place and stuff, but I would really like to hear the whole story. I could call Lucifer right now, but I don"t want to bother him, and I honestly feel overwhelmed when he shows up.
Maybe I should ask Flora?
"Flora can you explain to me what"s your hate against the demons? Most of us here were already born when the demons were incorporated to the world, so when did they showed up exactly?" I asked.
Flora looked at me as she nodded.
"I guess it is fair to tell you. You know that the planet"s explosion was more like caused by the World"s Will itself than anything else? Although our war really put the entire planet in a big pressure, the World"s Will has been filling the planet with energy for eons, making it increase in size exponentially, to the point it was inflated like a balloon and simply exploded." Said Flora.
"Yeah, we heard that the other time." I said.
"Hm, indeed. Well, the Demons showed up before and they were a big pain in the a.s.s to deal with, they were also the secret cause of many disputes, which ended bringing the Ragnarök… Also, filling the planet with demonic energy wasn"t good either, it only accelerated the inflation of the planet…" sighed Flora.
"Oh, now I get it, so I guess you hate them because of that?" I asked.
"Indeed, now sit tight and listen well, I am going to tell you the tale of the ancient times, when I was the only Supreme G.o.ddess before the others raised." Said Flora.
"O-Oh…"
Flora looked at me with a domineering stare as she nodded.
"You see, in those ancient times the world was at seemingly peace, all thanks to me. It was thanks to my ability to become a Supreme G.o.ddess. With my power, I brought balance to the world filled with wars, and by using brute force and guidance, I straightened everyone down the right path, unifying the world… But that only lasted a bit." sighed Flora.
"You did such a thing?" I asked.
"Yes, now that I think about it, I used to regret not having killed the future Supreme G.o.ds, I knew who they were going to be, I could had killed them all when they were babies, but I didn"t… Because I couldn"t bring myself to end the life of children… As a Supreme G.o.ddess of Life, life is precious to me, it is already hard to bring myself to take the lives of my enemies, even less those of innocent children. Even if at the future they would become Supreme G.o.ds and my mortal enemies… I simply couldn"t." sighed Flora.
"I thought that I could teach them, I had considered taking their families with me and teaching each future supreme G.o.d how to be a good person and someone compa.s.sionate and with empathy… but I wasn"t able to do it because the demons showed up. Out of nowhere a crack in s.p.a.ce happened, as a ma.s.sive door of flames emerged in outer s.p.a.ce, right in front of our moon." Said Flora.
"I remember seeing that when I was young, that was scary." Said Aura.
"Many called this phenomenon the apocalypse, in simple terms, the Demons descended from the skies in ma.s.sive armies, led by powerful Archdemon Avatars, their goal was to conquer our planet, led by the Avatar of Lucifer too." Said Flora.
"So Lucifer led an army to conquer a planet? Does he do this regularly or…?" I asked.
"I have no idea, but he had certainly grown calmer than before. In those times he acted like an angered teenager." Said Flora.
"Oh… I guess he got some character development later on?" I wondered.
"Maybe." Said Flora.
"So what"s more?" I asked.
"The Demons were led by the Archdemon Avatars, their power was incredible, but I used my strength to hold them all back, if it wasn"t for me, Genesis would had been conquered by the Demons and had become a h.e.l.lsp.a.w.n… Demons were not friendly like you think, they were vicious and monstrous, killed and devoured innocents without remorse, and enjoyed s.a.d.i.s.tically torturing people. I had to go beat each Archdemon into a pulp, which took time… However, at the end, although I forced the majority to back off, some of the Archdemons ended escaping my grasp and slowly generated sp.a.w.ns, making their own children as common as other magical beasts… They didn"t do it just to troll me though." Said Flora.
"How so?" I asked.
"Isn"t it obvious? They spread their children into billions of critters around the world so their influence could remain, they even made swarms and demon crypts, which were like your old version of dungeons… I had sent my troops to deal with the constantly, but they multiplied like rabbits and were more resilient than c.o.c.kroaches… Lucifer never backed off though, he continued gathering resources and killing my people indiscriminately, devouring them and growing stronger with his avatar… That b.a.s.t.a.r.d… At the end, he grew into a Supreme G.o.d rather later on, but due to that, the idiot ended trapping himself in the world," said Flora.
"Lucifer did such a thing? But when he showed up, he looked so chill… Wait, did your people attacked him first?" I asked.
"Yes, obviously, we had to slay him." said Flora.
"You could say he did it on self-defense then." I said.
"I don"t want to slap you in the face so take that back." Said Flora…
Ugh, I didn"t wanted more drama with her, so I decided to take it back. For now, in fact, inside my mind I didn"t took it back! Hah!
"Okay I take it back." I said.
"Anyways, More Supremes had been born by then, and the Ragnarök broke… After the entire world exploded and reformed back, Demons became commonplace and even mixed with beings originated from our world… I couldn"t do much at that point." Sighed Flora.
