I'm The Devil

"Enough"

Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the newcomer and were shocked to see who came.

Only Cephissus scoffed when he saw the person and did not even put the person in his eyes as he stomped on Ares knocking him unconscious "you finally showed yourself, Zeus and here I thought you are going to continue hiding in your little palace up there" said Cephissus as he stared at the figure of Zeus floating there.

Zeus ignored him and looked at Ares who just laid there unconscious "take him away" Zeus said to one of the guards who quickly did as he was told.

After that Zeus turned to Cephissus and frown "I told you it was enough and yet you still went ahead and hit him, don't you have respect for your king?" Zeus asked Cephissus furiously.

Cephissus scoffed when he heard what Zeus said "you my king, how laughable, even Poseidon who hails himself as the god of the oceans and every water bodies in the entire Realm would not dare to call himself my king and you, who is just god of the sky and land dare to call yourself my king, you are so funny" said Cephissus who laughed like a mad man.

Zeus frowned even more, the sky rumble with the sound of thunder and lightening dancing through the sky, the earth shook causing those standing to stumble and almost fall to the ground, Zeus's aura changed as lightening danced around his body "I think you are forgetting who you are talking to, let me remind you" said Zeus raising his hands and his thunderbolt appeared perfectly in his hands "I am Zeus the Supreme Ruler of the Greco Realm, governing everything and everyone in it, so how dare you talk back to me like I am your equal?"

Cephissus was brought down to his knees by the unsurmountable pressure released by Zeus to the point of him coughing out blood.

"Even though I agreed to let your father still have a place in my Realm to oversee over, I did not intend for him to forget who he is and the same goes for you, now get off my mountain before I lose it"

With that, Zeus turned around to leave, not paying attention to the eyes on him.

"That's not how Zeus would have reacted, I guess he is still remorseful for what he has done to kill one of her own again" said Hera who hid among the crowd and observed everything that transpired.

She looked at Cephissus and smirked as she thought of a perfectly crafted plan to use against Zeus should in case he returns to his usual habit of frolicking with other women and producing bastard children with them which she hated greatly but could not do anything about since Metis did not bother to anything but now that she was in charge, she would not let it continue and also in the process, acquire a worthy ally.

Hera told the guard to take Ares back to his Palace before she left for hers also.

Palace of Zeus

Zeus sat down on his throne while holding his head as he felt immense pain up there.

He did not even bother to check what was wrong with him because he believed that gods like them can't get sick so he took it as his punishment for doing wrong by Metis.

While he was in his thought, he did not notice when someone entered his throne room and sat down while taking an apple from the fruit basket in the room.

"Hello boy, it has been a long time since we last met, is it not?"

Zeus raised his head to see Lucifer in the flesh in his throne room and looking at him with his devilish smile.

Looking Lucifer like this made him remember the last time they meet when he was possessed by a strange being who made him do some unspeakable things which to say he was not really proud of and that was offending the Devil and even had the guts to engage him in a fight.

Still thinking that Lucifer has not forgotten about that incident, Zeus was afraid that Lucifer might do something dangerous to him once again.

So he immediately stood up from his throne and knelt down on his two feet with his head down and beg Lucifer for forgiveness.

"Oh, stop that, we are way beyond that what is it? Said Lucifer acting like he was thinking about something to say "yes, a billion years now, and you had no control over yourself"

Zeus sighed in relief when he heard that but he did not dare get up from his position as he did not truly want to give Lucifer a reason to act.

"[Sigh] get up, like I said, all of that is in the past, we should be talking about something important" said Lucifer.

Zeus finally got up and sat back on his throne "what do you want to talk about?" Zeus asked him.

"I don't know, I just want to catch up with my long time student, you know, how are things during my absence the past billion years, I heard you have amassed a lot of wives and children, you have become a family man" said Lucifer jokingly.

Zeus smiled a little "I am very much grateful but we all know that, this is not why you are here, so what can I help you with?" said Zeus knowing Lucifer very well and he is not someone known for small talks unless he wants something.

Lucifer's smile fade as it was replaced with a very serious expression "good you still haven't lost your touch" said Lucifer who sat down and looked at Zeus "I want to know everything, I mean everything that happened during my absence and also what happened in the current Aesir Realm, I know you were there during Bor's last moments before his disappearance, tell me what it had to do with you and if possible, where I can find him"
