Chapter 77: Realm of the Dead
🕑 Added 2025-10-11 10:16:19 +0000 UTC[3rd POV]
The Realm of the Dead was a…curious place. A large wasteland that was devoid of life, that couldn’t handle life. Smaller than the Underworld, which is as connected to, but also still massive by normal standards.
It was a dark place that was absolutely caked in dark energies, even more so than the normal underworld that the devils lived in. Which made sense considering this place was near Cocytus, and was one of the deepest places within the Underworld.
Walking through the fields of the place, Morgan could feel the corruptive energies wafting throughout the large plane. She could also feel the souls of those claimed by Hades, and the grim reapers that were nearby.
None of them could see or even sense her, thanks to her using various wards and spells to block the sight of Hades and his people. Which was quite easy thanks to her many spells that were made specifically to counter Gods and their ability to see quite far.
‘This place is a lot worse than I thought’ Morgan thought, noticing that this place was way darker than the Underworld that most of the devils lived in. It was exactly what you’d imagine when looking at a hell, a place no soul would want to ever visit.
And it still wasn’t as bad as Cocytus.
She didn’t even want to think about how bad that prison might be, considering it was made to hold all sorts of criminals of incredible power. She wasn’t even sure how the prison was made in the first place, only that Cocytus had existed before the prison was built within it.
She imagined that Lucifer and Leviathan had a hand in it, but she wasn’t entirely certain.
Either way, her walk through the Realm of the Dead was not particularly enjoyable. The place was a shit hole, and was not somewhere she wanted to be for much longer.
But she sadly had to be, as the thing she was looking for was in this realm, and she couldn’t afford to tip Hades off before she got it back to her mansion where it would be safe. Only after she got it out, would she be able to take care of Hades.
And even then, she had to be careful to not catch the attention of anyone. As she’d rather not real with the entirety of the Greek pantheon. She could handle Hades, but the entire Greek pantheon was still well beyond her.
‘Should be around here somewhere’ Morgan thought, as she leapt onto a the top of a large hill, only to stop as she stared forwards, a large black castle in the distance, huge, and surrounded by grim reapers and all sorts of guards.
The souls of the Underworld screeched around it, as this was…the castle of Hades himself, and where she needed to go in order to find the person she was looking for. Someone who had been captive underneath Hades and Rizevim for a long long time now.
‘…Gods and their love of going over the top with their buildings’ Morgan thought with a deadpan, as the castle was larger than any in the devil part of the Underworld, and was large to an almost over the top point.
Walking towards the castle, Morgan passed by the screaming souls and the grim reapers, heading towards the castle as her eyes glowed, gazing at the wards and various defenses around the large building.
‘Hmm, impressive. The wards around his castle are the strongest I’ve seen in person. But I suspect that Heaven has far superior wards, and the Hindu pantheon no doubt does as well’ Morgan thought, slightly impressed with how advanced the wards were.
They were advanced, but not enough to be a problem for her, as she walked through the wards like they weren’t even there. Said wards not even reacting as she began to walk through the halls of the castle, knowing exactly where she needed to go.
She could literally sense the place she wanted to go. As it had some of the most powerful wards she had ever seen around it, even stronger than the ones around the castle itself. It was also hidden behind a rather well hidden mechanism, one that was also being watched closely by grim reapers and other methods.
Too bad for Hades, none of them mattered as she just walked through the wall into the stairwell that would lead to the lab she was heading towards. Phasing through the wall and any other barriers as she began to walk down to where her target was.
She had made sure that nobody was inside the lab, as she knew it was a frequent stop for Hades, and would be problematic if he was there. As while she could certainly kill him, she wanted to do it after she got her target out of here.
Eventually Morgan had reached the door entrance to where her target was being held, as she glanced over the advanced wards blocking the door, and simply walked through them, rebelling against their natures of confining and blocking her.
Allowing her to walk in, only to stop when she saw her target floating in a large tube in the middle of the room.
Her target was an incredibly beautiful woman with long white hair and a busty figure. She had partially rotted skin, and almost seemed to be feeling apart, likely because of the actions of Rizevim. She also looked exactly like her counterpart from Fate, and this woman was…
Lilith, Mother of Devils
Staring at the unconscious Lilith, Morgan sighed ‘I expected this, but it is still a shock that more and more characters I am running into are similar to their Fate counterparts’ Morgan thought, looking at the woman that was the great grandmother of Valiana, and the mother of all devils.
She was also an incredibly important part of the plans of both Hades and Rizevim, so she was here to take her away. Lilith was better off with her, where she could heal and then do what she wants on her own.
So, with that in mind, Morgan walked forward, her magic flaring as all the books in the room were teleported off, the tube disappearing at the same time. She found that some of the books were quite rare, so she wasn’t just going to leave them.
With the woman teleported off, Morgan glanced around. She found that without the books and the woman in the room, it was quite bare. Which meant that Hades had probably only recently truly begun to experiment on her.
The fact that Lilith had even been able to live after so long, after untold millennia of being tortured and experimented on, was truly incredible. Not only that, but she was completely and utterly conscious during it all, so she could feel everything that has happened to her.
She wondered how the woman would react considering the man that had done most of it to her, was literally her son. She was also curious about her past regarding Lucifer and that drama. And how she would react knowing that the Satans are dead and a completely new set of rulers are in charge.
That she was in charge.
Honestly Morgan was a bit underwhelmed with Lilith’s power, as she had been fully expecting her to be Satan class at the least. Only to find that she was actually an ultimate class being. But she expected that that might be because of her nature and lack of proper training.
She was even more interested in her clan trait that she most likely had, similar to her ex that was now long dead.
She imagined that Valiana would be very interested in meeting her great grandmother.
She’d need to get into contact with the ancestor of the Gremory clan, considering she is one of the only devils alive from the first generation, making the ancestor of that clan a sort of child of Lilith, albeit not directly through blood like Rizevim.
Instead they were made through her flesh and other means that Morgan didn’t really know much about.
With Lilith gone and back in a safe location, Morgan began to walk off, deciding that it was finally time to take care of the problem at hand. And as she walked off, Morgan had only one thought on her mind.
‘…Time to kill Hades’
