Chapter 926: The Truth About The Demonic Towers
-----
Not long after celebrations, I quickly went to sleep, I was too tired to do anything else. In my bed, my girlfriends greeted me with adorable expressions in their faces. They were just as tired as me, so they cuddled with me, and we slept together rather comfortably. Of course, by my girlfriends, I also include my beloved Eleanora. Although she often acts embarrassed when I call her like that.
Naturally, as I slept, I found myself once more within the Divine Realm of the Holy Spirits. It hasn't been too long since my last visit here. Every time I slain an Archdemon Vessel, I visited them to check on how they felt and to see the sealed Archdemon Soul Fragment.
This time, there were now three large crystals floating in the middle of it all, chained with many rainbow-colored chains made of divine spiritual light. A dark red one belonged to Beelzebub, the bright red was of Satan, and the dark purple belonged to Lilith, the newest addition to our little collection.
These weren't just trophies, of course. These Archdemon Soul Fragments were a precious resource, they were going to be our trump card to end this war. But we needed to collect more, we needed to kill all the vessels, and let the demonic towers collapse. Once that's finally over, we'll be able to use these soul fragments for our next goal.
With three Demonic Towers gone, there's four left to go…
"Welcome back, Blake. We've been waiting for your return." The Holy Spirit of Light sighed in relief. "As you can see, we've got three pieces now. I've made the seals stronger this time, because despite being only their soul fragments, we can't rule out them escaping or something."
"Well thought." I nodded. "It seems you all have grown stronger as well, or is that my idea?" I wondered.
I looked around the Divine Holy Spirit Realm, and it seemed to have changed even more than before. The first time I visited it, there was nothing but a white light everywhere. But now, there was grass, there was sky. There were floating islands. Gigantic volcanoes and oceans. Islands across the sea.
Giant continents, and even all sorts of life forms. They were mostly Divine Spirit Beasts.
"Yes, as you can see. We've been growing and developing the Divine Holy Spirit Realm a bit more." Nodded the Holy Spirit of Love, now having the shape of a beautiful and sexy woman made of pink holy spiritual light. "Do you like my appearance? I think it nicely embodies my being."
"Well, you certainly look beautiful, I have to admit." I nodded. "Was that the intention of your appearance?"
"A-Ahahah, it flatters me you find me beautiful… Yes, that's right." She nodded. "W-What more do you find attractive about me? Can you tell me, my little Blake?"
"Perhaps another time… I didn't come for that." I sighed. I began to regret having given her a small praise. Her eyes seemed strangely fixated on me after that. "Anyways, this entire place changed."
"We decided to shape the power we had here…" The Holy Spirit of Nature nodded it simply resembled a gigantic mass of countless plants. "By merely touching it with our hands, all kinds of beautiful landscapes blossomed."
"I touched it, and flames came out everywhere." Said the Holy Spirit of Fire, looking like a titan of flames, with strong muscles and a long beard. "All those volcanoes were my doing. It was strange how just things popped into existence."
"Maybe you would have a similar effect over on Spiritias too. You possess the Power of Creation within you after all. It still baffling you're only discovering these powers." I laughed a bit. "I suppose you were initially without a consciousness, but now that you're finally developing one, you're bound to commit mistakes as you attempt to create things.
It is better if you practice here than outside, I suppose."
"Yes, we've been practicing for a long while now." The Holy Spirit of Light nodded, he still looked the same as always, just a gigantic, pseudo humanoid figure made of light, resembling a titanic pillar of gold. "We've noticed that, as the Demonic Towers disappear, our powers continue to grow stronger. It seems they were holding some sort of Sealing Power on what we could do."
"A Sealing Power…" I wondered. "No, it's not that… Well, maybe, but not exactly."
"What do you mean?" The Holy Spirit of Darkness, resembling an endless cloud of pure shadows, asked curiously.
"It was not Sealing our Power, then what was it doing, love?" Wondered the Holy Spirit of Love, with a curious expression.
"From what I can recall of my previous life… Demonic Towers are special tools, not only they create a connection to Hell, but they become their Pillars for Hell to expand its Domain in other words. Meaning that it spreads an invisible veil of Demonic Energy everywhere, slowly terraforming the planets it invaded." I explained.
"Not only that, to fuel itself, it naturally drained energy from those worlds. Usually their cores. The last time I checked, Spiritias was a spherical world, isn't it? Even though it might be several hundreds of times vaster than any planet I've visited."
"Indeed, it is spherical." Nodded the Holy Spirit of Winds, they resembled a half woman and half bird of great beauty, with long, green feathered hair and sharp golden eyes. "It also rotates around our Great Star, born from the Initial Spark, which was what created Spiritias long ago, I believe. There's also our Silver Moon made through that, which rotates around this planet."
"The Silver Moon controls the oceans…" The Holy Spirit of Water said, she resembled a beautiful maiden made of water, kind of like a mermaid. With long azure hair resembling waves of water, and gentle sapphire eyes. "It is so the sea waves can be controlled better, and they don't drown the continents."
"I see, interesting…" I nodded. "Then yes, the Demonic Towers were both weakening you by spreading a Demonic Domain to summon more of Hell's Authority, and also by constantly draining your world's energy… Perhaps for hundreds of thousands, if not millions of years."
This revelation wasn't well received by the Holy Spirits, who were shocked to learn such a thing.
