"..."
Azmodeus felt something off, but that didn't stop him from handing over the red amulet in his grasp. "Don't make me regret my decision."
After uttering these words and successfully passing on the amulet, he saw the smiling goddess take something out of an unknown space, causing a round sapphire-like ring to fall onto the soft bed.
ZIP!
The ring was lifted up off the bed using some form of psychic power. Then, after bringing it close to the amulet in her other hand, an effulgent reaction erupted from in between the two mysterious objects!
BLING!
Everything in the room was enveloped in a bright purple array of colors, as the layer of space that connected the room to the Astral Plane seemed to disconnect for a second.
It was only after a few moments of the purple light prevailing that it eventually died down before being replaced by a faint, illusory silhouette of a miniature sword.
The sword was eastern and resembled something thin and ethereal, with faint hints of the Dao emanating from its image.
"This is your destiny—the Ring of Saphron and the Amulet of the One-Eyed Red God—one which was given to your master and the other given to your father. In fact, he was the one who personally asked me to pass this onto you once I recovered my memories—a recovery that only occurred the moment you were born in Prometheus."
The Goddess of Light informed Azmodeus of the history behind the two separate objects, as he utilized his absurd comprehension speed in order to digest everything being thrown his way.
My father... What does my father have to do with my 'Destiny'? And where does my master have a part to play in everything?
Even with his ludicrous level of comprehension, he still couldn't understand things without enough context. And seeing as most things were left out of the picture for him, there was truly nothing he could do at this point in time.
But regardless of what he thought about its name, there was really only one thing he cared about.
And that thing was the benefit!
Considering the quality of this sword, I would say I benefited quite a lot from this little encounter.
Although I didn't end up reaping that Goddess loot bag in time, this sword more than makes up for it...
And with the impending arrival of those six, I should be able to more than compensate for this slight loss of Physical Existence Points...
With this thought in mind, Azmodeus enlarged the dark red and black sword emblem, resulting in its size instantly extending to around 6 feet, making for a truly badass longsword/greatsword/Nagikatana-type weapon.
Furthermore, when it was stacked up right alongside Sanguinary, no one in the Astral Plane could deny the daunting aesthetics of the Crimson Emperor.
It was with this very appearance, alongside his long crimson hair and flowing robes, that he blurred from his spot, shooting straight toward the first of the six pulsating auras!
The being he was aiming to kill first was some form of Kyrin and possessed strength in the early stages of the Middle Star Radiance Realm, likely owning more purity in its blood than the Jörmungandr.
This will be the first of six massive loot bags, and since I like to do things in order, I will start with the weakest of the lot...
Following this nonchalant thought, Azmodeus sped up his advance, hoping to reach the Kyrin before the 50 year mark passed.
Although the beast's strength was significantly stronger at this point in time, with more than 2000 years of cultivating inside the Heaven Exploding Cave Abode to look forward to, the gap between them would only lessen.
It was this way of thinking that ultimately led to him only needing 180 or so (outside years) to kill and obtain the loot from the Kyrin.
