Chapter 757 Miriam And The Outer Demon
Chapter 757 Miriam And The Outer Demon
-----
A Divine Spirit Avatar of Miriam was summoned into the Dimensional Dungeon, right inside the room where the Demon Summoned by the Emperor was. The One-eyed demon looked at her with his red-shot eye, as he realized that she was the very one that sealed him long ago, but now had the body of a child.
"So it's you…"
"Demon, I don't see you fighting at all. What are your intentions?"
"My intentions, you ask? Hm… that's a good question."
Miriam recalled her past as the Goddess of Beasts of the world of Gaia, she had fought this demon to stop him from destroying humanity, by his master's orders. The plan was to destroy humanity so enough energy and malice would be built to open gates to the other worlds.
Although that failed, the Emperor simply managed to find a new way to open gates by using the power of the goddess herself, who weakened over time by sealing the demon with her own soul, breaking apart into many soul fragments which he gathered over thousands of years.
"My intention is to destroy humanity."
"Still with that?!"
Miriam suddenly crossed her arms and pouted. The Demon slowly began to grow a bit nervous out of nowhere, even when he was supposedly stronger than her… Somehow, the two knew each other way more than Frank and the Emperor could had predicted.
And well, that was obvious, as since she sealed herself with him that the two had been talking for thousands of years, even as the goddess fragmented apart until the seal was practically undone, until that very last moment, they continued to talk and talk endlessly.
Ultimately, the two… became good friends.
"I-It is my duty! You know? I was summoned for that! What do you want me to do then?" Sighed the Demon. "There is a contract binding my soul, I am here against my own will to an extent, used as a bargaining chip by the greater outer gods for their own benefit… We talked this like a couple thousands of times already!"
"I know! We have talked this thousands of years by now, I might now be a little girl but I still recall all the memories now that I fused with three other pieces of myself!" Sighed Miriam. "We have been talking and making a friendship for thousands of years! You're not really a bad entity. And you're going to help me defeat the Emperor!" Said Miriam.
"W-What?! I can't do that! the contract… doesn't allow me to go against my summoner." Said the Demon.
"Well, you're already mixed with my soul, aren't you?" Asked Miriam.
"I-I am?!"
"Geez, you never realized? My soul fragments also ended being mixed with your soul and your composition, so you're practically a different being now from how you used to be before… but the contract is still an issue, so let me break it for you." Miriam touched the demon's chest, as she pierced it with her hands.
"W-What?!"
CRASH!
Her tiny hand suddenly crushed something inside of him, as the Demon groaned in agony for a bit.
"GUUAAAAAHH! W-What have you done, you stupid little brat?! Uggh…! Unngh- Ah. Eh? I am okay?" The Demon suddenly realized he was perfectly alright now.
"Yeah! See? I didn't do anything bad to you, you're such a drama queen sometimes…" Sighed Miriam. "Look, you're free now, I break the contract. This is just another power that Goddesses have, fufu~" Giggled Miriam rather cheekily, as her childish nature came out.
"Y-You've really become different… I guess reincarnating as a little girl really changed you." Sighed the Demon, as he slowly began to take a different shape, resembling a beautiful black wolf with a third crimson-red eye on his forehead and two black and spiraling horns at each side of his head, being as tall as three meters.
"W-Wow, what's with that form?!" Asked Miriam.
"Let me help you. As part of my gratitude for having freed me from my slavery contract with the bastard, let's slay him together with the rest of your friends." Said the Demon. "It's the least I can do for… well, my first friend ever."
"Alright then!" Said Miriam. "You took the shape of my favorite beast friend in the past, Fenrir!" Said Miriam, jumping over the demon wolf back and mounting him as a powerful beast.
"You always spoke about that puppy, so I guess this form would make you happy." Sighed the demon rather embarrassedly.
"Hahaha! I love it! Alright, let's go defeat the baddie with the power of friendship!" Said the girl, as she raised her little arms.
"You've always spoken nonsense…" Sighed the Demon. The Goddess of Beasts was always high and mighty, but over the thousands of years of the two speaking with one another, he realized she had a very childish personality. She was always cheerful too no matter the situation, and for the future, she hoped for better things.
"That damn Emperor got a bunch of my soul pieces, I'll recover them to get stronger before he uses them for his own benefit… I hope Frank can keep up with him until then!" Sighed Miriam.
…Meanwhile, as Chaos was defeated by Frank and his family, another battle was unfolding within the Dimensional Dungeon created by Orb, Alexander, and Frank. The powerful Cronos, ex-master of Time and now wielder of Lightning, Oceans, and Death confronted the last fragment of the son that sacrificed himself to defeat him, Hades!
But Hades was not alone, as he was teleported with a fifth of Frank's power, as he had divided himself into five bodies, this body was also with Hades. Hades had gathered enough power thanks to having received a lot from Frank and his original body back in Terra, and had now managed to reconstruct a skeleton body with a heavy black divine armor on top, alongside two enormous blades, all of them being divine legendary materials dropped from dungeons or brought from within the App Shop of Frank.
"My son, so you've finally come…"
