68 The trial

John chained to a holy board, watched by the goddess Aetheria just woke up from his trance, he remembered his unending anger and how he created an automata but after that, he couldn't remember what happened.

He somehow remembered hearing Claire's voice but that couldn't be possible.

But he was surprised when he saw Claire crying on her knees begging the giant silver armored woman to release him.

He felt like a knot inside him was loosened, but now he wanted to know what was happening, but just as he wanted to ask he heard the giant woman speak.

"The trial shall start, I Aetheria goddess of Judgment will serve as the judge.

State your name!"

John was quite perplexed because he didn't expect to meet a goddess someday even though it's only in the game.

But he quickly answered and thought it would be appropriate to tell her his whole title.

"Greetings Goddess, my name is Chrome ruler of the Kingdom of Bronzehell, and the demon lord and ruler of all demons. And through some twists of fate, I am also a Saint!"

John thought he told her everything as polite and truthful as possible but suddenly Aetheria started Yelling at him.

" I shall not tolerate such blatant lies in my court! You are clearly not a demon lord but a devil, one of the most evil existences there is.

And even though I wanted to believe that it wasn't possible that such an evil creature also takes up the position of a Saint but your Aurra doesn't lie, you are a saint. But that makes your crimes even more severe."

John was surprised when he heard the devil part so he checked his notifications.

"Dark energy is gathering in your body..."

"Your demonic energy is converted..."

"Evolving...Evolution to Devil complete..."

"Ability " Devils contract" unlocked"

"further evolution interrupted by holy energy..."

Unique ability

The inherent Ability of a devil. If a contract is established both parties are bound by that contract. The more exact the terms of the contract are defined the more binding it is.

If the terms a loosely defined you can use loopholes to work around the contract.

But John was more interested in what his crimes are so he asked the goddess.

Aetheria answered:

"Your whole existence is a crime in itself but usually we let the mortals deal with you, but you are also the Saint which makes it hard for the mortals to deal with you but we let it slide as we usually don't meddle with the realms of the mortals but now you created a semi godlike being that is evil to the core and nobody can control it. We can't risk it that you create more demigods or worse godlike beings when you reach the next evolution!"

"My existence is a crime? I never did anything that confirms that statement! Every citizen under my rule had the opportunity to leave the country but they all chose to stay with me and they chose to become demons! But you are right it was a lapse in judgment on my side when I created that Angersteel Colossus and I am very sorry for that." John said.

"As I said we gods don't care for your kingdom as we let the mortals decide who would rule them, but that colossus and your ability to create the colossi leave me no other choice, I have to judge you guilty," Aetheria said with a solemn face.

"NOOOO don't judge him. It was all my fault, please I take his punishment!" Claire cried.

The goddess turned her head and looked at Claire, Olaf and Erika, and said:

"I feel his blood running through you, my angels also tell me that you all have a crafting area you excel at. So you also leave me no other choice as to treat you as his accomplices and erase all of your existences."

Claire once again fell on her knees crying and Erika and Olaf rushed to her side holding her while both of them had a dark expression on their faces.

When John heard the goddess's verdict and saw his friend's anger once again overcame him.

But this time no darkness was involved only the pure and Holy rage you feel when your family is hurt and you want to defend them.

Suddenly something Ancient was awoken inside of John...
