Chapter 77

Tyson
I was taken to another, though Very small world, maybe the size of Urth’s moon…? Jurth had a strange mix of magic and technology. Dragons flew with rocket engines under their wings.
We stood in what looked like a public park, but no one seemed to be interested that we teleported.
“Can I Really Master?!” Said Grahkes like a little kid asking to open Solsticemas gifts… though the Great Serpent got a few looks…
The thoughts of the humans around was that we were a gay dom couple with a pet…. .
“Wait.” He held up his left hand. “My tribute young master.” Eskaal, kneeled on one knee. “Allow me to kill the coming League of Colleagues Who Have Powers.” He grinned as if he told a joke. “Also allow me to dispel this illusion. They killed their world years ago.”
A wave of his hand, and there were still people, but the land was corrupted with oil and magic.
They did too much of both to their world, so now it was stripped to what struggled to make it. The buildings were covered in thick thorny vines, while the formally clean humans were dirty, and looked hungry.
“No. I will handle this world’s Earth Demigod myself.”
I ripped off my shirt, but this time the symbol of scales appeared on my chest, and I was placed in black, red trimmed Roman robes.
They were watching… and I was thankful, since I know the mortal clothes are going to burn off.
Eskaal chanted something, summoning a black and red 6-shot revolver. “Of course sir.”
*He preceded to get into a high speed shootout with this world’s Super-human Man.*
There were 6 heroes in total, though he didn’t use anymore bullets after he reloaded.
……Eskaal’s bullets did worse than kill…. He accidentally shot a human, and they are teleported Straight to hell, flesh and all…. So at least he wasn’t trying to kill the mortals.
Innocent or not, no demon can resist fresh unmarked meat…
“Mortals, you trespass. I am the Earth Demigod Liam, the sole god guardian of what’s left of this world.” Said a man made of dirt, emerging from the grass. It was then that people kneeled or worshiped…. His eyes were actual gemstones, I think amethyst.
“Your mortals have harassed The Earth Goddess Lia, the Lord of Light’s Wife. I am here on the Night Court’s behalf, as your people irritate the First Prince of Hell.” I said casually. “They stole from our world, and for it, your people will pay for your irresponsibility.”
He kneeled on hands and knees. The gemstone eyes of his became gray, losing their lustering twinkle.
“Forgive me. I cannot lie… I knew they were stealing but not from… from Three… I thought-” He stammered over his words, and I cut his groveling off.
“What you think matters not.” I said summoning Skullsmasher and Backbiter. “Draw your weapon or be beheaded. The masters watch, and they are displeased.”
He allowed them to know too much, and use it to go too far.
My sword and shield were attacked by a mighty amethyst hammer; it cracked my sword. I picked a fight I was barely ready for, but we clashed at a speed only Eskaal could see. We slammed through a building, killing at least a hundred people.
I didn’t want them to die by being smushed under my clawed feet…. How they screamed as this world died…
Eskaal cast a circle under his feet that the other protectors of this world could not break. One by one, they ran or flew into a trap that held them in place only a single second. It was enough to kill all 6 with headshots.
“Don’t end them. They wanted to protect themselves.” Liam said with tears made of grains of salt.
“They attracted the attention of the Lord of Judgment. And his judgment is for them to die. They will not listen to *you* with the technology you allowed them to have, and they steal across the cosmos.”
I sliced through one of his arms, and he screamed, but my sword drank his blood…. It healed. His blood was dust, but it was blood all the same.
“AH! Why won’t it heal?” He yelled when I bashed him with my shield.
“Your godhood was taken before the fight. I thought you knew that.”
The grass underfoot became brown, and dragons fell from the sky as their augments malfunctioned….
“Grahkes, go ahead.” I said with a grunt. I headbutted him in the face and beheaded him.
I sliced the earth demigod into 60 pieces.
That was not my intention… I had a surge in energy so strong, that I couldn’t stop my hand… I put my sword away. I didn’t like that even with knowing *how* to control my powers, that it was *me* who lacked ability….
“Way to go master, he’s as thin as deli meat.” Said Eskaal. “Alright Grahkes don’t leave anything behind. No survivors.”
“Yes master!” He beamed….
Grahkes shifted to be as long as the planet, but as he wrapped around it, he got bigger.
“Let’s look from this place’s moon.” Said Eskaal.
“Wha-” I was cut off.
Inside a magic bubble I watched a giant snake with dragon wings swallow a planet…
“I’ve been growing him a few hundred feet every day. Look at him go! I’m so *proud* of you!” He clapped, while I could see the snake smile….oh my gods….
I facepalmed.
Eskaal took pictures like a grandpa at their kid’s baseball game…
“I know you grow him for the fold. Thank you for your dedication.” I said seeing him just as excited about this as Grahkes….. and all those souls as compensation belong to Xaxas….
I could tell this was the first time he’d gotten to *use* his pet as intended.
But his realm isn’t a punishment or anything… it’s kind of just a forest.
“One day he’s going to be so big he can wrap around our homeworld.”
“…. So what you’re saying is that if Harmony asks, we say that they died… *peacefully.*”
*… Not* digested by a planet sized ‘pet’…..
“I knew I liked you.” Said Eskaal. “Me and John are hitting up JFC Later. I know a spell that’ll make it so you can have that kind of thing.”
“…. I couldn’t.”
“I’ll teach it to you.” He grinned. “Don’t you want to try the deep fried all-you-can-eat Buffet?”
My stomach growled.
“…..You want something.” I grinned.
“Well… a ride home.” He mumbled.
I laughed.
“Oh Shut It!”
“I don’t know Super Smarty Pants!” I cackled. “ I might have only enough energy for two.”
*He popped the bubble.*
With my hellfire and grandfather’s protection I didn’t freeze, but I can’t breathe in the void of fucking space!
“Oh I don’t know Mr. I Need Air. Nice being smart huh?” He sucked in a fat, greedy breath. “So much O2, I could just.” He breathed out.
I choked, grabbing two fistfuls of dirt. He had his hands on his hips while I slowly passed out.
“Oh stop turning blue for Night’s sake.” Eskaal rolled his eyes, grabbing my left horn so roughly it kind of hurt. I was instantly drained of every drop I had.
He sucked the energy right out of me to get us home, Grahkes too, though now he was human formed.
We landed in the Royal Garage pretty much at John’s feet. I stood…
“…..Want a moon rock Aunt Heidi?” I asked, feeling a little embarrassed.
I don’t think she’d ever snatched anything from me so fast. She held the fists of rocks and lunar sand, freaking out.
“thank-you!” Heidi screamed hugging me, and thankfully I was still in uniform…. “I WANT TO GO TO ANOTHER REALM TOO!”
“Heidi-” I stopped John by putting a finger to my lips.
/let her have her fun./ I linked.
“You’re welcome.” I chuckled.
“AH!!! Lookie, it glows when you add red magic! I have to show Tiffany! She’s going to *Want One So Bad* but I will treasure every grain!”
“I take it you had a big adventure.” Said John with a raised brow at the Beast Prince, but he bowed to me.
“I got to eat a planet!” Beamed Grahkes
“Oh Gods Damn it. Get in the car.” Eskaal facepalmed with a smile, shaking his head.
