Villain Tripitaka AU

Chapter 12: Me and the Devil

Tripitaka's POV
This is it...

The time has come...

After the successful freedom of the Lady Bone Demon...

My plan will finally be placed into action...

Time to place the necessary pieces in the game...

"Yes Master"

3rd POV

In an instant, once the Demon Bull King took the corrupting powers of the Lady Bone Demon, they spread like a plague...

The Bull Clones begun to attack the city, dismantling it, destroying everything in sight...

Barely anything survived...

Except for the noodle shop...

As the city was colonized and conquered by the Demon Bull King, people cowered amongst themselves, many lost lives, or limbs, or even suffered injury...

The Attack was devastating...

Once the Monkie Kid arrived, everything arrived to chaos...landlines were shut, communications outside the city were dismantled...

Thousands of homes destroyed...

But the world never lost hope...

With the sudden attack, the Monkie Kid and his friends ambushed the Demon Bull King...

By the time he arrived to the battlefield, the Demon Bull King grew mad with power, attacking his wife and son, condoning them traitors...

The Monkie Kid went to stop them, while convincing the Princess Iron Fan and Red Son to join forces, the Monkie Kid removed the corrupting power from the Demon Bull King's back.

Ironically, this event spiraled a truce between the family and the Monkie Kid, the Demon Bull Family vowed never again to conquer the world...much preferring to get away from the dangers...

But amongst the shadows lurk the power whom escaped...

And chose a host worthy of her destiny...

Tripitaka's POV
I watched as that demon possessed an innocent host, turning her into a slave for her own benefit...

'Destiny' she speaks...

How pitiful and one-sighted...

Blinded by premonition...

So ignorant of complicated paths...

I almost want her dead already...

But let's not be hasty...

"I can sense you Great Monk...your aura is not one many can miss...especially for the man who imprisoned me for more than centuries..."

I chuckled, welp no wasting time now...

The game has begun...

"I see your powers do remain to be a nuisance, however I'm quite impressed!"

She gasped as Tang didn't seem to speak...but she seems to hear the voice...

Hm...does she not see me?

That's new...

"Can you not see me dear? Or has your power worn thin over the last 5000 years?" I said somewhat mocking her, she composed herself, keeping up the facade of being 'perfect'

"Well...this is unexpected...according to many rumors, you have been reincarnated...but..." She seemed perplexed, perhaps this is the first time the spell has actually...

Succeeded...

"Nonetheless...you will still prove to be a nuisance...I will not be locked away again for another thousand years." She says, getting ready to freeze Tang. I chuckled.

"I assure you that won't be happening anytime soon..." I remarked, much to her surprise, she was hesitant, but proceeded to listen.

"There's been a change of plans the last few thousand years you've been away...times have evolved..." I explained. "After the Journey there was a slight hiccup, that caused both our fates to collide with one another..."

"What could you possibly want that could compromise to my destiny?-" "The Death of the Great Sage..."

She paused, blinking twice, just as perplexed as ever. "The Death of...what?"

"You...are you joking with me?"

"Why would I be joking with you?"

She could feel the cold gaze of Tang staring right at her, she looked around, wondering if this was a trick or not. "You're such a high believer...no one can kill the Great Sage..."

"None! Not even the Jade Emperor-"

"Do you think of yourself lower than the Celestial Host themselves? How low you have fallen bone demon..." I spat, mocking her. "And here I thought you'd be doing something different...I guess you must not want your destiny, after all...let's go, puppet."

Tang begun to turn away, walking towards the exit of the alley before she appeared right in front of us in a swift.

"Alright, I'll consider this new development...what do you want?" She asked, her patience wearing thin, looks like she's still coping with the fact that I had locked her away for so long...

I chuckled.

"Nothing much...all I want is most of your power...the rest well, we'll just have to go our separate paths are we?" She paused, looking confused. "Oh don't get me wrong, as much as we both want the Great Sage to be, less of a trouble, I do not agree with your 'Path to Destiny' thing..."

"The way you perceive it is so one-sighted, you believe it is so simple." "It's not-" "as far as you don't want to admit..."

"So you want my help, but you do not wish to help me?" She asked, looking pissed. "Basically...but what can I say, me doing nothing about it is basically letting it happen anyway..." I spoke, nonchalantly, she looked just as confused as ever.

"You won't do anything about my plan? Nothing?"

"Nothing...nothing at all! So long as you supply me with those, bone vials..." I said, striking the deal to her almost immediately...

She was just as hesitant...which was a smart move...

"What are you playing at...Monk?" She asks. "No games here...just a simple game of roulette...nothing more..."

She pondered, thinking for the longest time...the silence was louder than anyone could have ever imagined...and she finally made her decision...

"Very well...if you truly wish not to intervene...then I suppose I will provide you with the necessary resources you ask..." She says, raising her hand. "Consider this a deal..."

"Master...is it wise for you to make a deal with the bone demon?" Tang asks curiously, walking along the streets. I merely chuckled at his concern. "That woman is too focused on the Great Sage to even consider us a threat...with time though..."

"Her destiny will be fulfilled..."
