Step, Step, Step.
Azmodeus, Sylvia, and Delilah ascended a short flight of porcelain stairs. Entering the palace, the first thing to greet them was the big man himself!
Sylvia's father had somehow teleported from the top of his palace to the very first floor, and he was wearing a tight-fitted silverish black suit that made his explosive muscles really stand out. Additionally, the menacing thousand-yard stare he was directing at Azmodeus made for one hell of an intimidation factor.
"Daddy, I am back!" Sylvia exclaimed as she temporarily let go of Azmodeus and ran to her father before leaping in his arms. "Was mom nice to you while I was away!?" She asked teasingly.
The Silver Catastrophe's hardened expression softened when his daughter hugged him, and just as he was about to forget what he was just thinking about, he once again saw that slimy bastard.

Not once had a man ever gotten within a hair's width of his daughter!
He had assumed that she just wasn't interested in men, and that notion made him overjoyed beyond belief!
But then came this unknown man!! He just had to show up in his daughter's life and sign his own death sentence!!
As he tenderly embraced his daughter, the only thing the stern Silver Catastrophe could think about was how terrible a death he would conjure up for this 'Azmodeus.'
"So you are my daughter's 'dear' friend," Silver Catastrophe said as he somehow closed the distance between the two of them in an instant. "I appreciate all that you have done for my daughter, but don't you think you are getting a little ahead of yourself...?"
While looking at the creepy smiling expression on the big man with a silver mane, Azmodeus realized that he stood no chance in hell of beating him in a battle.
'Just one punch,' he thought as his excitement grew. 'That is all it would take for this monster to end my life.'
"Hmm?"
Upon seeing that fiery look in Azmodeus's gaze, the Silver Catastrophe felt something other than anger and killing intent. It was almost as if he had found a kindred... one who thought like he did.
Or, at least, that was the case until middle school...
No longer able to conceal her monstrous nature, all the other kids in her academy feared her. Even the teachers were no exception.
This hurt her...
Sylvia only ever yearned to fit in with everybody else, but she couldn't even do that.
In the end, she graduated early from all grades and classes, instead spending her time wandering around the Saberspire Province. In particular, she liked the Omega Dome.
Her days were usually pretty similar, but on one seemingly ordinary day shortly after her twenty-second birthday, she met someone.
At first, this someone didn't seem like much of anyone, but the more time Sylvia spent with this someone, the more she realized that he was different. There was something special about him, something that set him apart from the other people that she's met.
After a certain point, Sylvia spent almost every waking moment beside this special someone. She gave him whatever she felt that he needed, and she also made sure no one at the Omega Dome bothered him.
Sylvia did this for him, but she also did it for herself. She wished to spend more time with him and better understand what it was that made him so special.
However, this someone was quite reserved and kept to himself, so it was very hard to get him to open up or even look in her direction. But as with all the girls that came before, Sylvia figured she stood a chance as long as she persevered.
With her cultivation in or above the Immortal God Realm, she could potentially take the target of her affection away by force. But that just didn't sit right with her...
The light within Sylvia told her that going about it in that manner was not the correct way.
She didn't know why she felt this way, but it was almost as if she had experienced something in the past that led to her instinctively knowing not to do something stupid.
Sylvia had no clue what this instinct was or where it originated from, but she knew to trust it.
This was what the Light told her...
