.Trivia of the day #24: All Demon Kings Sacrifice something to become a Demon King
(A/N): Some of you wanted to know what Asmodeus looks like, well I would say he strongly resembles Vox Akuma, only with his trademark pink eyes, way longer hair, and demonic features, such as his wings tail, and horns
_______________
"W-W-What... the hell *Gasp!* *Gasp!* ar...are yo-you!?"
Asked Ben in a weak voice, breathing heavily, while holding his knot arm, and looking at Asmodeus in fear, after all, this entire situation puzzled him.
The last thing he remembers was smoking the last cigarette in the pack while watching a horror movie till he fell asleep on the couch and the next thing he notices when he wakes was being beside two people, that being a middle age man with a fancy mustache.
And one of his brothers-in-arms, Jason, however after walking this desert filled with giant trees for a while eventually they were unfortunate to meet up with this tall monster.
Ben did not know what to do, in a situation like this, his friend Jason already kicked the bucket, or maybe he was just unconscious, but his entire head was burnt to a crisp, to the point his face was completely unrecognizable then the geezer seems to have run away.
It was a situation he did know how to get out of, although one thing was for sure, everything is the man's fault, he might even be the reason he is here.
But after the tall man finished murdering Jason, his attention was turned toward him.
Ben at this point began to feel something he had not felt for a while, and that was fear.
"Mon..... Monster!"
Ben shouted with a horrifying expression, as he began to follow the cowardly geezer's footsteps, and run with all his might, going deeper into the forest.
Leaving behind, Asmodeus and Jason, he was not staying beside this unknown entity that twisted his right arm into a knot.
Meanwhile, Asmodeus looks down at Jason whose head is smoking, as the smell of burnt flesh, skin, and hair share a similar scent to burning paper or leather, and upon using the eyes of truth.
He began to see the following information.
- Name: Jason Smith
- Age: 19
- Race: Human
- Cause of Death: Suffocation
He wasn't going to run after them, after all, they couldn't escape this world even if they tried, however as he looked at the work he did, he felt slightly better about himself, honestly, he would like to kill the bastard again using a different method.
But deep down he knew that Jason had left this dream world, although he still want to confirm, as he looks towards Lilith and ask.
"If my guess is correct once you die in this world, your consciousness return to the real one right?"
Lilith walks up to her beloved master and looks at the burned corpse of Jason, as she puts on a satisfied smile, and replies to Asmodeus with evil laughter
"Kyhahaha... Yes, it's just as you thought my liege once you are killed in the dream world, you will wake up in the real world, however, if you so please you can imprison humans here for all eternity, and condemn them to eternal torture, but apart from that, I must congratulate you my liege, that was an excellent execution, simple but dreadful, although you still have two more rabbits running around your world."
"I see, so what happens if a person dies in the real world, but their consciousness is stuck in this world, what will be the outcome of that person's fate?"
Ask Asmodeus who was curious, to know.
Lilith complied by replying honestly.
"Then they will also die in this world, but if you trap a person here, then they will go into a coma like-state, of course, their body still ages the same, and they will be trapped here till they die naturally by natural means such as starvation, or even diseases."
Asmodeus had a great plan, death was too good for any of these people, and seeing how both Jason and Ben felt pain when he attack them inside his dream realm, then they can feel everything, even while in here.
Asmodeus began to think to himself.
'Maybe I can find a way to freeze their bodies in time and do what Ekhidnanta did to me upon my defeat to her within Pandora.'
However, at the very same time, Lilith confirms his earlier thoughts as she said.
"If you can find a way to preserve their physical bodies for all eternity, you can keep all your enemies locked up in an eternal nightmare of great proportions."
It was exactly what he was thinking, the ability to control dreams was like the ultimate torture skill, normal succubi, and incubi use the power of dream walking to feast, and Asmodeus uses this power as an ultimate toy box.
But with that said, all he needs to do right now, is use the two remaining test subjects, to see how far he can take his dominion of dreams.
Meanwhile, Lilith could see a bright smile plastered on Asmodeus's face, and she couldn't help but remember, and lament about the past when all the former Demon Kings find out more about themselves.
Especially about their capabilities when it comes to dreams, as she said to herself.
'What you might not know my liege, is that the power of dreams and impossibility is tied heavily, to the power of the world, that was what Eva told me a long time ago, the limits of your power inside your domain are the limit of the world itself if there is any'
And just as Lilith said this, Asmodeus finally come up with a conclusion, on how he could make these two suffer, as he said.
"If I remember correctly Lilith, you said I am God in this world, right?"
"Most certainly my liege, you can shape this world however you please, by mere words and thoughts."
"Well then let's try this then."
Asmodeus said as he prepare to see the limits of his power, by using his words.
"Father and Ben never left."
"Haaaa... H-H-How did I reach back her... why... why... why am I at the same spot as that monster, didn't I run far away from here?"
A scared middle age man said as he began to look around in horror.
Meanwhile.
A very shocked and terrified Ben began to look around in horror just like Mr. Julian, as he could feel his heart racing with fear, and his soul slowly leaving his body, as he began to mumble to himself.
"NonoNonoNo. This is a lie, none of this is real, this has to be a dream, everything is fake, how is any of this even pos...
But before either of them could get even louder Asmodeus said but one word.
"Silence."
And as if his words were absolute, the entire world became silent around him, as the chirping of birds stop, the croaking of crickets stopped, the sound of the breeze, and waves stop, and of course, the human trap in Asmodeus Paradise stopped talking as well, or more like they were mute.
This shocked both individuals greatly, their mouths can move, and the sensation of talking can be felt, but it was as if the concept of sound became nonexistent before this mysterious man's words.
The best way to describe the sudden silence would be to say that there are in a movie, and the person behind the fourth wall presses the mute button to make the sounds stop.
What was even more horrifying in their eyes, was the fact that Asmodeus's words could be heard loud and clear as if he was above this world.
As he said.
"That's better, now then let's start today's fun, with a simple introduction, shall we... Hmmm, who shall I torment first, hmmm... Ok, how about this, why don't we play a game, the winner of this game, can leave this place, while the loser can take the winner's punishment on top of their own."
Said Asmodeus as he bends down to meet the two humans, who were both scared out of their minds the both of them wanted to run but they were
Asmodeus then bent down to meet both men, as he said.
"Both of you are beyond saving and small punishment, won't be enough for either of you, but seeing that I am in good mood right now let's start with a normal punishment first, after all, you should start getting used to this, because we are going to do this every day, so listen carefully, guys."
"Ben your first order is to tear off your toes one by one, slowly."
At these words, Ben's face turns into a horrific mess, as began to tremble in fear, and what made it even worst was the fact that he couldn't scream, nor could he run, because as Asmodeus speak his body suddenly began to move on its own.
As he took off his shoes with his one remaining hand, and as soon as everything else came off his foot his hand took hold of his small toes first on his left foot.
And then the skin and flesh began to slowly separate as the applied pressure of Ben's grip tears, rip and broke away all flesh bones, and skin, although Asmodeus couldn't hear his voice, nor could Ben hear himself.
His face speaks for itself, as it had a painful expression along with snot and tears coming down.
Meanwhile Mr. Julian looks at this with fear, as he looks back at Asmodeus, instantly he bends down in panic and places his head and the ground, and began to speak to him, but of course, because the world was silent Asmodeus could not hear a single thing.
So he said.
"I will allow just you to talk, now speak mongrel."
And at those words, the panic and fearful words left his mouth.
"Please don't kill me, I don't want to die *sob* *Sob* Please... Please... I have a family to go back to, my son is home, and my wife and daughter won't be able to operate without me, please have mercy I did nothing wrong *Sob* *Sob*...
However, these pleading words didn't, have the same effect that Mr. Julian was aiming for because Asmodeus got up, and his anger was even more, profound than ever before.
As he said.
"How dare you."
The entire world began to shake, under his anger, as his eyes glow a menacing pink.
"A wife and kids and home."
"A son who can't live without you."
"You did nothing wrong."
"I change my mind, you aren't allowed to leave here, I will make you suffer, I will play with your spirit till there is nothing, I will make even your mind a husk, I will destroy everything, your happiness, your hope, your dreams, everything."
The world suddenly began to crack like glass, and it began to distort, and transformed into all kinds of surroundings, but Lilith came behind Asmodeus and hug him, and said.
"Calm down... At this rate you're going to kill them, we don't want that, we want something far worse, use your creativity, how can we punish this mortal."
As Lilith said this the father of the year began to speak once more.
"No... Please, have met...
"Shut up."
And once again, Mr. Julian's mouth was silent, Asmodeus then turn around to meet Lilith as he said.
"Thank you, Lilith."
"No problem my liege, but what are you going to do to him?"
At these words, Asmodeus began to think about what would be the most horrific punishment he can think of right now, then his eyes turn to the sky above, and then when he said all the stars, he suddenly smile as he said to Lilith.
"Let's make him immortal and transfer him to planet HD 189733b."
