The Devil's way of business

Chapter 48 : Genesis

Dark spikes sprout through the void as Karma jumps out of the way and looks at a perfect image of El " You are not me who are you ? " " I'm the ancient " " No the ancient evil is big and had the title of the devil "

" Count who is that person he has Father's face " " You should be his delusions " Karma waited for a response but got nothing " You're less talkative than the real El "

Karma blocks with his soul as the spikes shatter " Who are you ? What are you ? " " What is he doing ? " " Are you assessing whether I must be removed or not " Karma asked as he recalls what he knows about AI .

" Isir would be able to understand the thought train of souls like you " ' I mean realistic AI's Lucifer " Only Karma could hear Lucifer's words " Hold on Fake El I have to talk to myself for a while "

Fake El stood staring at Karma as he backed away ' Okay so remember when god had the wish to brave the devil ? That's the delusion that should have manifested after he forgot about it "

" Why is he here ? " ' The thing is he has been feeding it unintentionally , I probe around his soul to see a few useful things " " How is he feeding it unintentionally ? "

' Probably because he had some wishes related to it kinda like how promise keepers need someone to acknowledge them but this one is made of El's soul instead of Count's soul "

Karma takes a look at the fake El and said " By the way I'm calling you Le to make it easier " ' Le is kinda like promise keepers but the memories that composed them aren't enough to give him a self so I can kill him without remorse "

Karma checks on Le's memories ' Now I want to remind you that Le is supposed to be the delusion El had when he prepared to try and kill Count , but he let it go after seeing it fail which sorta created Le "

" So why are we here to find him ? " ' Because we need to get rid of it , because this Le is the weapon that El prepared to fight Count because he didn't dare to , it used to feed on El's desire to be freed by the monster named Count but you know that desire or hope slowly decreased as he will die which is why I had to use the world as a way to send El out "

" This is unheard of " ' Which is why I had to probe his very soul to find this information now the plan here is to kill him , there is no need to feel remorse because Le has no such thing as a self he's kinda like an empty shell looks like it has a pearl inside but when you open it there is nothing "

" But why did god keep him ? " ' Maybe because he thought Le was the only one who stood against Count but you know the future has changed and now Le is just an obstacle to a good future for others which is why El is now sitting in that throne keeping him inside maybe because it takes too long to destroy Le likely because he grew stronger from El's wishes "

...

Meanwhile , El was busy calming the wrath " Where is he ? " Count yelled as he only found god's throne with a seal showing a star with seven points similar to what the believers have .

" That's a fancy pattern " Count wondered if they should break it as they found some of Karma's memories lying around being burned by the eternal fire .

" I did remember Karma burning memories during his fight with Michael " Count takes a look at the memories assuming that Karma was around " But what about that guy I need to talk to him about the treatment he has been giving to my children , I'm not a good parent but I'll at least do this for my children "

Count looks at the sea made of Karma's blood and spots Reed climbing down " Oh no " They quickly grab Reed and Isir putting them down ' I'll ask Reed what he's doing later '

Count doesn't have a sense of time that the duration Karma gave them was already up as they thought they still had time as they pulled the rest of their body .
