The Abyssal Lord (DxD)

“Wait! Wait! Wait! Who are those Primals?! How powerful are they?! And why did my stupid brother wager his own goddamn soul?!”

The silence that was the result of Lilith's sudden revelation didn't last very long, and was rudely interrupted by the screaming of Azazel, who was quite honestly baffled at both, the sudden turn of events and at his deceased brother's stupidity.

Sirzechs smiled tensely and like Azazel, he wished to know about those so-called Primals, who were apparently the reason behind this world's arguably greatest turn of events and possibly a lot more if they didn't do anything about it.

So after taking a deep breath, which he needed, he looked back at his fellow Satans, and after seeing them nodding at him positively, he decided to start asking some questions, nobody likes being in the dark after all.

“Lady Lilith, can you please elaborate more about those Primals more?”

Lilith, who was staring at Xeron with an incredibly tense and irritated expression, and after hearing Sirzechs call out to her, she snapped at his direction and frowned more, but after seeing the not so amused look on devils and fallen alike, she took a deep breath herself, and started to calm down.

She honestly didn't have a good time these last few centuries, and despite the fact that she separated her people from the devils to protect them, she didn't get her deserved peace of mind.

Imagine her surprise, when one day a foreign being arrives at her doorstep, and announces that she must willingly hand her soul over in ten years or she and her whole race will face the consequences.

Of course, she was furious. How dare they demand her soul! She was Lilith, the mother of all devils!! But as soon as the thought came to her, it vanished.

The unknown being announced himself as a Primal, and let out a pressure so powerful she fell to her knees, and after announcing his deal with Lucifer and reminding her of the ten year time limit, he vanished like he never was there in the first place, leaving her both resentful and in despair.

“I don't know much about the Primals, I only knew about their existence when one of them came to my castle eight years ago and demanded I hand over my soul in ten years time or they will take it by force”

Sirzechs eyebrows visibly twitched, and internally grumbled about the awful chain of events that have been happening since the start of this month.

“I tried to refuse of course, but he was so far above my power level that I couldn't do anything”

Lilith said so while gritting her teeth in visible anger. She was a prideful woman who was used to being one of the more powerful beings currently alive, and having been faced with the reality that there was a being who could squash her like a bug didn't sit well with her.

“Then can you describe this Primal to us Lady Lilith? You've seen it, right?”

Penemue asked the annoyed succubus, who calmed herself down once more, and tried to remember the being she had come to hate the most besides her father. 

“He was about 8 feet tall, had a single pair of giant white angel wings, wore full body armor along with a helmet that hid his face, he also had divine energy, so it's safe to say that he's a god, but I'm not sure of what rank”

A God that's abnormally tall, has full body armor and a single pair of angel wings? What kind of blend is that?

And to be capable of suppressing Lilith, who is one of the strongest beings currently alive. How terrifying.

“A pact with a Primal, if it's one of the lesser eight, requires the consent of all parties involved and like the demonic pacts, it requires blood to seal it”

Xeron, after having come to a decision, spoke suddenly to the succubus. His words were not the ones she would've liked to hear, she wasn't in the mood for chatter after all, but as soon as he finished his sentence, a memory popped up in her head.

……..

[Lilith POV - 388 years ago - Underworld Capital - Main Bedroom]

“Lilith!! I'm going to cum!”

The obvious sound of love making resounded throughout the room, as the arguably most handsome mortal man alive made love to his wife, who is without a doubt, the most beautiful woman alive.

The scene is simply heart throbbing. A handsome man, holding a beautiful woman tightly as they both climax in pleasure. Their bodies glowing in the dark due to the sweat that accumulated on their skin. A beautiful ending to the well-known romance story, that is Lucifer and Lilith.

“Aaah! Lucifer! Why did you bite me!!”

….Or it would've been, if not for the man, Lucifer, biting his own wife as they made love.

The bite drew blood, which Lucifer quickly wiped off, as he held his wife tightly in a hug as he apologized to her.

“I'm sorry baby, I got too excited”

“Humph”

Lilith spent the night sulking, not noticing the glint in Lucifer's uncaring eyes.

…….

[Present Time - Third Person POV]

“THAT FUCKING BASTARD!!”

The sudden outburst of Lilith understandably startled everyone present. The woman's wings and tail sprung out as her red eyes glowed redder with fury.

“Lady Lilith, calm down! What happened?!”

Sirzechs's body glowed crimson, a symbol of the power of destruction that he's so famous for. But Lilith wasn't really in the mood to play games, and as she was about to unleash a spell in the young Lucifer's face, a cold deep voice stopped her dead in her tracks.

<Enough>

The frankly disturbing voice came from Xeron, who was not only unamused, but also not in the mood for watching petty post divorce squabbles.

The succubus undid her transformation while huffing at the demon's direction, she didn't like being ordered, but she also didn't like losing her life, so she had no choice.

After a minute or two, Lilith spoke again but this time, instead of slight agitation and annoyance, her voice carried venom.

“He tricked me! The bastard took my blood and fucking made a pact with it, while I spent the rest of the night non-the-fucking-wiser! AHH!”

He expected it, but confirming the truth for himself helped him finalize his decision. Xeron will help her.

Not because of the goodness of his heart of course, but because of the soul she holds.

The soul of the heavenly father, who was the third strongest god to exist in this world, completely fused with the souls of the four most powerful devils to exist.

Even for himself, who is the most powerful demon there is, this soul holds immense value. 

He can feel it, his own hunger. He hasn't felt it in eons, but the moment Lilith let out the soul, he had to actively suppress himself to not lunge at it like an animal.

But is fighting the Primals who are arguably as powerful as the four demon lords, is it worth it?

….Of course it is, who do you think he is? Xeron may be cunning and tactical, but he's a demon first and foremost, and demons rush towards their desires with no regards to anything.

“I don't mind helping you Lilith, but the question is, do you?”

The demon stood up for the first time since Lilith arrived, and after Lilith suddenly found herself standing in front of him, she stiffened, not because of the sudden force that pulled her, but because of the hands she suddenly felt groping her chest

She looked down at her chest, to find the demon's hands groping and kneading her breasts. Her eyes turned deep red again and she literally trembled in anger, but unexpectedly, she didn't do anything. Just grabbed his hands and moved them away silently.

And seeing this, Xeron smirked and waited for her to answer. He made his offer clear after all.

Unknowingly or not, she practically sold her soul away, so if she wants him to cancel the deal, she has to offer something of the same value to him. And what's something more valuable than her own soul?

“.....I accept”

Exactly, nothing.

“Wonderful! Now give me that other soul you're carrying, that's the main reason I accepted after all”

Annoyed, Humiliated and most importantly Out of Options, the succubus grudgingly lets out the god's soul again, she didn't even get the chance to hand it to him, when she felt it being snatched from the air in a split second.

“Eeeeeh!”

And as she was about to complain to him, she heard a shrill cry of fear echoing behind her, and the moment she looked up to the demon's face, she felt her body tense up in fear.

The demon's mouth was opened so wide, his face nearly split in half, the crazed smile that hung on his lips as he lowered the soul into his jaws was nauseating, his snow white skin was becoming darker and darker, until it became pitch black, his hair grew in length and transformed into pure miasma that was visibly damaging the surrounding space and a pair of wings made of pure miasma sprouted from his back, along with two pair of large horns on his head, that decorated it like a crown.

The soul tried to fight, unconscious or not. It's still the soul of a god and it won't let itself be swallowed.

*Snap* *Crunch*

Facing the futile resistance, using very pleasing to the demon so, he opened his mouth wider, if that's even possible. And he swallowed the soul whole while snapping his mouth shut.

And after the sickening snapping and crunching sounds, the demon's face began to reform and he slowly gained back his human form.

“Sorry for the unsavory display everyone, demons can be quite….extreme when it comes to their desires, and I'm not an exception”

Just like that, a moment there was a bloodthirsty demon and the next there was and elegant and sophisticated human-looking male, the sharp contrast was quite eye opening to everyone currently present.

“Open your mouth Lilith”

Snapped out of her revere, Lilith's eyes stare at the eyes of the demon standing just a couple of inches away from her and does as she's told.

Xeron then raises a finger above her open mouth and cuts it with his nails, dropping a single black drop of blood down her throat then he withdraws his hand again.

Her eyes changed from red to golden red, but besides that, she didn't change much. Seems like her looks were perfect before.

After nodding his head and looking very content, Xeron lunges his hand forward into her abdomen, his hand not damaging her but phasing through her. And when he pulls it back, there is a piece of paper in his hands.

“It looks like the demonic contracts, unoriginal fuckers”

He says while casually burning it, no ceremonies, no sacrifices and just like that. The source of all Lilith's worries was catching flames above Xeron's palm.

“...Is it ove-”

*Boom*

Before Lilith got the chance to even speak, a sonic boom was heard followed by a bright light forming near the room's roof, and when the light faded, a gaint figure was present. A Primal.

<Lilith Morning Star, how dare you break the pact that was signed. Now face the consequences>

The Primal's cold and disdainful eyes that were shining through his helmet, stared at Lilith while he summoned a giant white halberd.

The Primal grabbed his weapon and instantly vanished, and after appearing above the clueless Lilith, he swung his weapon with the intent to decapitate her. Just to be stopped by an invisible barrier accompanied by an amused voice

<Your kind never changes, does it>

The Primal mechanically turns his head, and finds a demon smiling in his direction. Not just any demon mind you, but the lord of all demons.

<Demon, what is the meaning of this?>

The smile hanging on Xeron's lips grows wider, and with an expression full of disdain, he replies back.

<It means that the Lilith you made a contract with is dead, this one is a demon>

The Primal doesn't react, he only turns to Lilith and stares at her silently. His eyes widen, and he snaps at Xeron in retaliation.

<How dare you, demon!>

The Primal showed emotions for the first time since his arrival, and with a look of pure fury, he pointed his weapon towards the demon while growling loudly at him.

<That's Lord Xeron for you worm!>

Xeron's voice turns into unbearable growls, and in a few seconds the Primal that was proudly floating in the air plummets to the ground and sticks to it like a used bubblegum.

<Go and tell your friends to not mess with my vacation, or I'll personally come and end your little group of misfits myself>

*KICK*

The demon speaks coldly to the struggling Primal, and with a kick he lunges him toward a portal he already opened, and then he turns around to the group of slightly terrified fallen and devils behind him
