- Location: Yam ha-Melah / Al Bahr al Mayyit / (Dead Sea).

Pov. Third-person.

A lonely man could be seen in the place that was once the Dead Sea. This man could be described as having an extremely handsome appearance.

At this moment the man was slowly approaching the rest of Lotan's body, after Thor's fishing.

What was left of Lotan's body was so little that it was comparable to the carcass of a blue whale.

"I must say, it must have been an impressive fight... For humans," said the man, seeing the destruction around him, and raising a magical barrier.

When the man approached the rest of the body he raised a hand and created a magic circle.

Soon Lotan's body disappeared.

Being teleported to the man's house.

In the underworld.

"*sigh* I'm risking a lot by coming here early, but unfortunately due to Lotan's sudden death, I had to act early. I just hope my lord doesn't notice my absence" said the man with a slight tone of concern.

"Do you really think one of my generals could just slip away unnoticed by me?" asked a voice.

As soon as the man heard the voice, he couldn't help but freeze for a second, before turning and looking towards the source of the voice.

"L-Lord Lucifer," said the man, in a weak voice.

It was noticeable that the man was scared.

The first Lucifer.

The leader of the devil faction and race.

Feared even by his own faction, due to his power and cruelty.

There isn't a single devil that can compete with Lucifer at the moment.

Although Lucifer and Lilith's son showed promise, he was still just a 'child' compared to Lucifer.

Still, Lucifer's child would be a force to be reckoned with in the future.

Rizevim is a worthy heir, in Lucifer's words.

"Lord Lucifer, I deeply regret not having notified you of my absence, I thought -" the man said quickly, before being interrupted.

Lucifer silenced his subordinate just by lifting a single index finger.

"Before you start with your apologies, answer the following question Leviathan..." said Lucifer.

The man, now identified as Leviathan, was silent and nervously waited for Lucifer's question.

It was then that Lucifer asked the question... in an emotionless tone.

"Why haven't you kneeled yet?" asked Lucifer.

It was then that Leviathan realized... He was so surprised by the appearance of his leader that he forgot the basics when he is talking to Lucifer.

Respect the hierarchy.

"On your knees," said Lucifer calmly.

It was then that Lucifer, using the index finger that was still raised, pointed downward.

Immediately Leviathan felt the effect.

*BAM*

One of Lucifer's three generals was now lying on the ground, and he was being pushed down to the point where there were cracks around his body.

To Leviathan, it felt like a mountain had fallen on him, and it was getting heavier and heavier and pushing him to the ground.

Amid the pain imposed on his body, Leviathan still tried to speak, gritting his teeth.

"My lord, I beg you for mercy! I never meant to disrespect you! It was a foolish mistake!" said Leviathan.

The devil faction general's request seemed to have gotten a reaction from Lucifer...

Fun.

"You forgetting to kneel I might even let it go with just a small punishment because that I might consider a foolish mistake... But begging for 'mercy'? It looks like you're determined to die today, General Leviathan," said Lucifer.

Leviathan sank further into the ground. New novel chapters are published on

The underworld general seemed to have understood that he had made his situation worse.

Never beg Lucifer for mercy.

It is a sign of weakness.

"My love, if you kill every fool in the underworld then you won't have an army anymore~," said a voice.

Lucifer didn't even look at the source, as he already knew who it was.

A beautiful woman, with horns adorning her head, approached Lucifer and hugs him.

"LilithCan't you see I'm busy right now? Go back home. I'm not done with this fool yet, when I hear his bones crack, only then I will CONSIDER stopping," said Lucifer, coldly.

Lucifer was angry.

And for good reason.

One of the devil leader's generals had just tried to do something behind his back.

For Lucifer, this was a sign of betrayal.

"I know you're angry Luci, but think first of the devil faction before the actions of a fool," said Lilith, whispering in Lucifer's ear.

Lucifer reflected in silence, and in that silence, Leviathan thought he would be executed.

After all... Although Lilith is considered the 'voice of reason' for Lucifer, she was not always successful in convincing her lover.

A good example was the murder of Valefor by his own son, Douma Valefor.

Lilith tried to convince Lucifer to kill Douma, however, Lucifer ignored the request as he saw potential in Douma.

Douma was stronger than the original Valefor.

And if there was anything Lucifer was looking for right now, it was strength, after all...

He was about to start a war against heaven.

"Hmm... Before my decision, tell me Leviathan... Why exactly do you want the carcass of a dragon king? And know that if you lie I'll give you to Stolas, he needs a test subject in his lab," said Lucifer, coldly, ceasing to point his index finger down and releasing Leviathan in the process.

Leviathan soon became nervous.

Stolas.

It is a well know demon because of his power over gravity, matter manipulation, and telekinesis.

But there was one other thing he was known for...

Lucifer's 'left hand'.

Responsible for the scientific division of the devil faction.

And tasked with carrying out any experiment that will raise the power of the devil faction.

Luckily, Leviathan knew Stolas well, and for good reason...

"My lord, I would deliver Lotan's remains to Stolas!" said Leviathan hastily, getting to his knees.

This seemed to have taken over Lucifer's curiosity.

"Oh? Do you mean Stolas knew about what you were doing? What audacity, maybe I'm getting too soft with the punishments for insubordination," said Lucifer, reflecting.

But quickly Leviathan continued with the explanation.

"No my lord, Stolas doesn't know... I wasn't going to notify you until I reached the underworld," said Leviathan.

Lucifer only raised an eyebrow.

"I'm going to MY bed... You're going to the door," said Thor, pointing to the bedroom door.

Thor had his pride.

The Norse god definitely didn't want to be known as 'another bed warmer' to the goddess Inanna.

"...Are you sure?~" asked Inanna innocently.

The Sumerian goddess approached Thor and pressed her breasts to the Norse god.

Inanna was appealing to the Norse god's lust.

However... Inanna's plan didn't go as planned.

"Get out," said Thor, narrowing his eyes.

Inanna just stared before sighing and slowly walking out of the room. She knew she couldn't fight this god to take what she wanted.

For Inanna, it felt like Thor was on a par with her grandfather.

Enlil himself.

"*sigh*... Alright, alright, I'm leaving" said Inanna, with a tone of defeat.

Thor just watched the goddess leave her room before sighing and heading to bed, intending to sleep through the night.

Outside Thor's room.

Inanna just stood in the hall of the palace, thinking about what had happened.

The goddess then made a magic circle and removed a piece of parchment.

The scroll remained floating beside Inanna even as the goddess began to walk.

"Note for my next job possibly encountered my first rejection, it was a Norse god, son of Odin, which I find strange seeing as I took his father into my bed once a long time ago. Maybe he has a preference for men? Unlikely, as my reliable sources say he slept with a woman from his group," said Inanna.

As Inanna spoke words magically appeared on the parchment.

"First rejection by a god, god's name: Thor. Title for my next work, Hmm... 'Lust isn't enough'?... Yes, that's a perfect title!" said Inanna, approaching a door.

It was King Gilgamesh's room.

"Now, for my next work, the title will be 'Make a king beg to have you in his bed', this one should be easy, after all, he's only a mortal, and no mortal in their right mind would deny a god's wishes," said Inanna, with a confident smile.

The soldier standing guard just stared at Inanna, mesmerized.

Inanna just smiled at the soldier, who passed out due to his nose had bled too much.

Inanna, seeing the result, just scoffed.

"Yes, very easy... Ahem... Hello, King of Men~" said Inanna, opening the bedroom door, and smiling.

The next morning, Thor was heading towards the dining area.

While walking the Norse god was talking to someone through a communication rune.

It was Odin.

"So there is still no news of the missing?" asked Thor.

"{Unfortunately, even though I've assigned several search parties, no more signs of demonic energy have been found... *sigh*... It's almost certain that the 'bat' must have already left Midgard}" said Odin.

Thor frowned.

"Do you think this devil was responsible for Dainn's death?" asked Thor.

Odin remained silent before answering.

"{... It's a possibility}" said Odin.

For Thor, this could escalate into a greater conflict.

After all, if it proves...

A devil had killed an Asgardian.

"{However, we have no proof... The devils can only claim they were 'passing through' and coincidentally were near Dainn's forge, which they 'did not know' the location. We can't just accuse some devil, I don't want to bring another war as my last act as ruler of Asgard before passing the power to your brother}" said Odin.

Thor just nodded.

Thor wanted the Norse pantheon to be neutral towards the three biblical factions to keep Asgard out of future trouble.

"{But then, problems aside... How is your stay with the Anunnaki, have you met Inanna?}" asked Odin with a knowing smile.

Thor grimaced.

"Yes, I met the 'man collector', I threw her out of my room," said Thor.

Odin looked horrified.

"{You denied her?! Don't you know it's a once in a lifetime opportunity?!}" asked Odin.

Thor looked apathetic in the face of Odin's despair.

"Believe me, old man, I'm sure sleeping with Inanna isn't a 'once in a lifetime' opportunity," said Thor.

Odin disagreed.

"{Did you see those tits?! I would give my other eye just to enjoy those valleys again!}" said Odin.

This time Thor was horrified.

"' Again'?... Did you sleep with her?" asked Thor.

After discovering such an event, Thor did not regret his decision. After all, what son would want to sleep with a woman who has slept with his father.

"{But of course I slept with her! I was younger and as I hadn't met your mother yet, so I took my chance while I was visiting Ninurta because he had asked me for a favor to help a mortal named Quim...}" said Odin, with a smile.

Odin seemed to be reminiscing about old times...

But Thor wasn't interested.

"Goodbye old man, thanks for sharing a little bit about your... 'adventures'... I guarantee I won't forget about your lessons" said Thor, dryly.

For Thor, most of Odin's actions boiled down to this:

How NOT to be a god.

Thor then turned off the rune and continued walking towards the dining room.

Until it was interrupted by a tremor.

*goudou goudou*

"An earthquake?" asked Thor, confused.

But Thor noticed something odd.

The earthquake had the pattern of... Footsteps?

"Run from the monster!"

"Run! This is the divine punishment!"

"It's the creation of the gods!"

"It's our end!"

"Save us Gilgamesh!"

Thor only heard the noise of screams outside the palace.

The Norse god just looked out the window and widened his eyes.

"...Must be Mondays," said Thor.

At this moment, on a collision course to Uruk, something was moving slowly, with each step creating an earthquake.

The creation of the Anunaki and one of the 'autonomous weapons' of the Sumerian pantheon.

The sky bull.

Gugalanna.
