Chad lifted his hand, showing Lucifer he was holding a bag of beer, mead, and wine, "Let''s head to sister. She should have a branch around here."


    Lucifer smiled, "You''re right. It''s been a long, long while." The two walked away, leaving the angel guards of the city watching.


    ****


    Outside the boundaries of Cain''s heaven, Kayden stood with Kali on his shoulders, staring at the massive cocoon moving upward. "So, it''s leaving the abyss."


    "I''ll move it into a special dimension protected by several magicyers to make sure it can''t be damaged by a sudden invasion." A clone of Cain appeared beside Kayden.


    Kayden slowly turned his face, looking at Cain''s clone.


    "From where an invasion coulde?" He asked.


    Cain pointed down with a finger, "The depth of the abyss. That thing is there,"


    "The shard of all Evil," Kali replied, "It''s where the abyss''se from and the reason it''s always growing deeper. Abomination could use it as a portal to sneak in." She said with a smile, waving her legs and hitting Kayden''s chest.


    "Where does the shard lead? Is it a portal of some kind?" Kayden looked down.


    "I don''t know," Cain replied, "Which means most likely it''s leads outside this world. We can''t let such a backdoor open,"


    "So we''re going down."


    "Yeah. My true body is dealing with some business. So I''ll multitask and get this done before it festers."


    "Let''s go then," The two walked away, heading into the wastnds of the abyss. "There is a hole that leads down behind that mountain." Cain pointed.


    "I already know that." Kayden pointed in another direction, "If we go from here, we''ll find a demon vige right before going down a hole. We can get supply from there."


    "We don''t need supply, do we?"


    "We need it. I can''t leave Kali without food," Kayden growled at him.


    "Kali, you''re a goddess. Do you need that?" Cain asked her.


    "Kali is a girl!" Kali replied, "I do need my food, sleep, and time to y!" She smiled.


    Cain patted her head, "Well then, I guess it can''t be helped. We''ll take nice and slow, head down slowly until we reach the shard."


    Cain and Kayden started levitating with speaks of magic flying around them. "What''s this?" Kayden stared at him, "Who told you to cast flight on me?"


    "It''ll help us move better," Cain replied as he flew ahead. With a sigh, Kayden followed him.


    The two crossed the mountains and thennded on the other side, looking down at the vige built around a massive hole in the ground. "That''s our goal. The city of Granmory."


    "You call it a city, but that''s a half-ruined vige, a settlement at best," Kayden added as the two slowly approached the main gate.


    "Hold there!" A demon growled, firing a spell at them. "Don''t move a step closer! Strangers!"


    Kayden cut the spell with his sword as he red at the demon, "We''re passing travelers. We only need supply."


    "We don''t have supplies for ourselves, let alone provide for strangers. Scram!" The demon fired a second spell at them.


    "What''s their problem?" Kayden growled.


    "They don''t prey, so they get nothing," Kali replied, staring at the devil with glowing pink eyes, "Say, little one. When was itst time you prayed, a few decades ago? You know the gods don''t bother with those who don''t bother."


    "Listen, little girl. Gods are useless. They never help. Their existence is useless to us demons." He growled.


    "Well, gods don''t work for free. Prayers are a currency to them. If you aren''t willing to pay, then forget getting help." Kayden looked at the demon. "Did you expect them to make your life better while you just sit there and hate on them?"


    "That''s what I''m saying. They are useless to us. They don''t help, so we don''t pray to them."


    "Hey," Cain looked at Kayden and Kali, "Are we going to argue with this one? It''ll get boring quickly, and debate usually means nothing to the fool."


    "I heard that! Who are you calling a fool?!" The demon growled.


    "You!" Cain replied. "I can understand your point. If we''re in a world where the god''s existence itself is questioned. But since you know they exist, you can''t just ignore such power."


    "The gods exist. But due to their uselessness, it''s the same as if they didn''t exist."


    "Did you hear about Katalina in that direction? Why is that city thriving?" Cain pointed.


    "They have ess to a soul river and a magic stone mine. We don''t, so we''re solely reliant on hunting monsters." The demon replied.


    "They do pray to Kali. She''s the one who caused an earthquake to reveal the mine and burst a soul river from the mountain''s heart." Cain stated, feeling sad for the demon who didn''t know he was in fact, talking to the overgod and the demon goddess of destruction, Kali.


    "Spotting nonsense." The guard growled.


    Cain looked at Kali, "So what should we do? Keep going? I have enough supply for thousands of years."


    "I say we ignore him and move. He''s wasting our time." Kayden added.


    "You two are right," Kali sighed. "Might make right to demons. Walk in."


    "If you say so." Cain and Kayden started walking forward, approaching the gate.


    The guard shouted, firing spells at them but miserably failing to even annoy them. He had no idea they were the overgod, the god yer, and the demon goddess of destruction, the three a mortal has the least chance to harm. Especially Kali. She had never gotten into a fight yet, but Cain knew how strong she was. The title of destruction wasn''t bound to her name in vain.


    But a testament to how much damage she throws with ease.


    CLACK! Kayden shoved his sword into the gate, piercing the lock behind it. He then slowly sliced down to open the handle with his sword and pushed the gate open. The demons inside ran in terror as they saw the red-glowing six eyes sh from the shadows.


    The guard jumped from the wall andnded before them, and so did all the other guards. "Intruders, this is where you die."


    Kayden extended his sword forward, ready to slice it down. He swung, and then, CLANG!


    "Daddy, calm down." Kali caught his de between her toes, standing on it as she looked at the guards. "They are the ones I want to fight. Idiot or not, they are still my people, and some of them still hold belief."


    "Kayden, back away, let Kali handle it," Cain said as he sat in the back. "It''s not my job to interfere with the god''s work unless they ask for help."


    "I don''t know what you two know." Kayden sighed, sheathing his sword as Kali jumped down. He then went back and sat beside Cain.


    "A Little girl?" The demons growled, staring at Kayden and Cain in the back, "What disgrace, leaving the work for her."


    "Little boy," Kali smiled, "Sit down and let me take care of this mess. You''re too young to die, and I don''t want your wife to give birth to an orphan child." TAP! TAP! She took several steps forward, and her skin shifted into blue as her hair turned coal ck.


    The demons instantly felt a sudden terror sips through their veins. CRACK! An extra pair of arms burst from her shoulders, and she started growing taller, ripping her clothes apart.


    Kali grew to the side of an adult woman, wearing a skirt of severed arms and a long ne of rotting heads. The palms of her hands and feet turned red as she held a twisted Khadga sword with a bleeding eye in the middle, and a long three-pronged spear in the other hand.


    Jewelry emerged on her whole body as she giggled, pointing her sword forward. "Arrogant with a big ego, step aside." She pointed the spear forward, "For destruction ising to the mindless one."


    "Kali! You got this! I''m cheering for you!" Cain waved his hand.


    "Do your best. And don''t hesitate to call for help," Kayden added.


    Kali''s divine magic started gushing out as she extended her long tongue out, "Daddy and Uncle Cain are cheering me on. I gotta cut him up,"


    It was at that moment that demons realized who they were facing. It was no ordinary demon. It was Kali herself, their goddess and the harbinger of destruction. As they were about to bow, she stomped the ground with one foot, shattering the whole vige into pieces and sending all of them flying into the sky.


    BAM! Kali rushed forward, flying between the debris, and headed toward the massive hole in the ground. Her goal wasn''t the vigers.


    From the depths of the abyss, a massive worm of conjoined demons emerged, roaring with rage as it searched for food. "Haaa!" Cain sighed as he teleported the vigers to safety, "That thing eats demons and grows stronger. AH! Don''t worry, I''ll fix your vigeter," He smiled.


    Thud! Kali grabbed the titanic worm with one hand and kicked it into the sky, "Feasting upon my children? What a bad baby you are."
