Chapter 590  Unravelling the Secrets: Bellazibub's Request

A blast of energy blasted out from the Hydra, and I put my arms to block the wind as I stepped back from the force. All 8 heads split off and swirled around the arena, and I let the ball absorb back into me as a storm started to form, and rain started to fall.

I had been thinking too basic with this, and True Magic didn't have a real limit. I couldn't change physics, but doing that would make the universe implode. What I could do is add to it, and since I couldn't have my astral powers, then I would create a new kind of power.

Umbrakinetic. The manipulation of shadows and dark energy allows me to manifest powerful and chaotic forces with my thoughts. As I watched the storm, I felt power flowing through me, and I could see the energy around me.

The heads of the Hydra started to move towards me, each with a different intent in their eyes. Some wanted to crush me, while others wanted to cut me with their sharp teeth, but I stood strong as my Umbrakinetic powers manifested into something far more potent than before.

I created a force field around me, protecting me from the barrage of attacks and allowing my feet to stay firmly planted on the ground as I propelled myself forward with a massive blast of dark energy. I didn't stop until I was standing right in front of Bellazibub, and then I looked her straight in the eyes as waves of dark energy wrapped around my body.

"I think you had better make them stronger," I said, reaching a hand back as the 8 heads came for me, and blades of red chaos sprayed from my hand. All the heads were torn to shreds, the storm broken, and the light of the arena basked around me.

Bellazibub bit her lip and looked at me timidly, blushing. She stepped to where I floated in the air and reached out to my face. Before she could reach me, I felt all the energy sucked out of me, and I started to fall, and the world went black.

When I opened my eyes, I was sitting in front of Truth.

"That was much better. Not sure what happened with the ball, but Umbrakinetic is actually useful, and you will be able to tame the Aether Demons. That will be important."

"What about Xieus? What kind of demon is she?" I asked as I stood up.

"Really, is this important to you? See? This is why you get yourself in so much trouble. You are not dealing with what is right in front of you. Learning this information will not help you in any way, so I refuse to answer your baseless question."

"That is highly suspicious," I growled, and Truth laughed.

"And you are highly short-sighted."

"Then why did you bring me here? This ability is something that existed on Prime, and it was the first thing that I could think of," I said, crossing my arms.

"That is good, and the purpose of True Magic is to add to the universe and make it more interesting. I make a habit of looking for interesting people, and that gives them a chance to entertain me. I have watched the universe be destroyed more times than you have lived. I don't see that with you, and this thing has never happened, so I am interested enough to watch and help you."

I nodded, suddenly feeling a bit foolish for asking. It wasn't the most important thing in the world, and I shouldn't be so quick to think that it was.

"Alright then, so you want me to keep creating new magic and powers?" I asked.

"No. If you add too much, you will start bending and warping reality. That might not be that bad if you were in a reality that you didn't care about, but I don't suggest you do it in the Underworld or the Mortal realm. On the other hand, you are going to need that to fight Kadeon and the guides, but you will have to keep them out of the other realities. What you need to do is use the True Magic to increase the power of the Umbrakinetic. The slow growth of that power will help the tiny bit of True Magic inside of you and increase it. Once you have surpassed the power of Kadeon, then you can find a way to defeat him."

I nodded, understanding what Truth was saying. I had made my first steps back into True Magic, but I still had so much to learn. I had never really used the power after destroying my home world with Matthias, but with Truth's guidance, I was beginning to understand the limitless power that True Magic could bring.

"Thank you, Truth. I understand," I said.

"I will send you back now, but until you get stronger, don't fly, you idiot," Truth said, and I was ripped back into my body.

Instantly, pain-filled me as I lay face down on the ground of the fighting pit. I pulled in Primal magic to heal my bones as I heard Lexi screaming my name. I finally pulled air into my lungs as my ribs healed.

"Galio! Are you okay?!" Lexi screamed as I rolled over with a groan as she came over to me.

"I just blacked out and fell. I am fine, sort of. I feel like I belly flopped into a moving bus," I said as I rolled again and got up, dusting myself off.

"Good. I saw your face down when the gate opened and thought that you might have lost," She said with a worried look, and I snorted.

"I am more likely to hurt myself than anyone else. I got through the fight fine, but I blacked out a few times. I must have done something wrong," I said, shaking my head.

"It's okay. You won the fight and made it through in one piece, so that is what matters. And Bellazibub was more than impressed with your abilities." She said with a smile, nodding towards the Bee Demon, who had a small smile on her face as she looked back at me.

"Yes, I am. Perhaps you could come and sit with me while your friend has her battle? I would like to be able to talk to you privately for a bit," Bellazibub asked, but Lexi slithered between us.

"Tallia told me to keep between Galio and possible temptation!" Lexi said with a giggle. I rolled my eyes and smiled as Bellazibub started to laugh.

"You are really a Upworlder, aren't you? I will keep my hands off him until the three of us can have some fun together if that is better for you?" Bellazibub asked, and Lexi turned to me with a hopeful look.

"Can we?"

"Wait, was I not supposed to be sleeping with everything?" I asked, and she shrugged.

"If we both are sleeping with her, then that is kind of like just us sleeping together, so that should be fine, right?" Lexi asked, and I shook my head.

"Now you are trying to convince me? Alright, I think it should be okay as long as Tallia is okay with it," I said, and Lexi squealed in delight as she hugged me.

"Yay!" She said, turning back to Bellazibub. "Okay, you can go talk to him, but wait till after the fight to have fun! Oh! Who am I fighting?"

"I had a request from the crowd; I think you know her? Martha?" Bellazibub asked, and I laughed as Lexi groaned.

"Fine. I can show her who is the stronger monster, and then maybe she will leave me alone!" Lexi said with determination, clenching her fists and steam coming from her nose.

"Well, you had better give her a good ass kicking if you want that, but I think she is going to try for real as well. You two are friends, and Demon friends always go all out, so remember that," I said as I walked around her to take Bellazibub's offered arm. Lexi nodded, and we waved goodbye as I followed Bellazibub up to the announcer box.

Once we reached the top, I looked around, marveling at all of the different kinds of Demons that had come out for this fight.

"It's incredible, isn't it? All these people have come from all of the planes to watch you and your friend battle," Bellazibub said, pointing at the sea of demons below us. I nodded in awe, looking around the arena with a newfound appreciation for Demons.

"Yes, it is amazing. So, what did you want to talk about?" I asked as I turned back to her.

Bellazibub smiled and led me away from the edge of the arena and leaned against a wall.

"I wanted to talk to you about the real reason that I wish to come with you," Bellazibub said, and I lifted an eyebrow.
