Chapter 40 - Chapter 40

Hey guys!

I feel like dudes just hate on everything in an overabundance. Take the TADC finale or just TADC in general, I personally don't think it was peak cinema or anything, but people are acting like this was the worst thing imaginable. Sometimes some things are just fine or alright, not everything has to be peak or ass, there's nuance in everything.

Also maybe Monday and Sunday was an exaggeration, but y'all are for sure getting to chapters a week, they just come out whenever the hell I feel like it.

Enough intelligent thinking, enjoy the show!

It was time, Lucifer was making his move…

With deft hands and fingers, he struck true on his desk, the materials giving way to his talented craftsmanship. He let out a long breath before bringing his lips to his creation, blowing the breath of life into his lungs and giving it the final touches. He grabbed his paint, brandishing his creation with a wonderful brown before finally placing it in the palm of his hand, having fully finished it.

"And now introducing: The rubber Ducky Chocolate Chunker Wunker Bunker Now With Even Bigger Chunks Of Chocolate!" He yelled, thoroughly excited over his new creation. With a snap of his fingers, the rubber ducky disappeared with golden light, leaving Lucifer alone in his office with massive eye-bags. "Man-oh-man, pulling 5 all-nighters in a row really does wonders for creativity."

He gets up, stretching himself out quite literally by bending over backwards until his tophat reaches the floor and stretching his arms to coil around his body with some satisfying POPS. When his stretch was done, he clapped his hands twice, the eye-bags that were once plaguing him fading away instantly along with his sense of tiredness.

'Alrighty, let's check the mail.' He thought, his cane appearing mid-air for him to grab before he tapped the ground twice, causing a standard white mailbox overflowing with letters to appear in front of him. 'Yeesh, what happened while I was gone?' He wondered before opening it up and beginning to read through them.

"Let's see, Mammon asking for money, Mammon asking for more money, Asmodeus waning to build a 30 foot long dildo, Satan sending a voice message in mail somehow to yell at me for no reason, no message from Lilith, Leviathan wanting dinner, Sera wanting to rewrite the contract because of an Archfiend that's located near or inside my daughter's hotel, my new rubber ducky shipment–" He stopped himself in his tracks, immediately flipping through the letters until he got to Sera's message again.

"AN ARCHFIEND!?!?!?" He yelled, disregarding all of the other messages. He was near speechless, holding the letter with shaky hands and a dropped jaw. The last time he dealt with an Archfiend was back in his second failed uprising against Heaven and he used Cain to try and lead the charge.

The reason why Lucifer was scared wasn't because of power, no, not a single Archfiend could even make him sweat even if every single one in history ganged up on him at once. However, what truly scared him was their potential and wild tendencies. No Archfiend was ever truly normal or sane, their pursuit for the divine to grant them their status no doubt corroding their minds 10 times out of 10. 

Their potential was also horrifying. Even though none of them could beat him, Cain, one of the strongest Archfiends was able to fight 2 of the deadly sins to a standstill, forcing them into a deadlock for more than 24 hours before he broke it up and convinced him to fight for him. The scariest part was that Cain had only been dead for 30 years at that point.

But even then, there's no way that a sinner could've gotten the opportunity to be an Archfiend in the first place. Lucifer had snagged some divine artifacts from Heaven back when he was young and vengeful, but they were all in his vault that he had constant surveillance on. Hell, he even had literal hell scour itself for any if they were down here. The only other way that an Archfiend could've been made is with a blessing from a God…

But all the Gods aside from his father are dead. He must've replicated the process somehow, that made him or her extremely dangerous!

So just hearing that someone like that was in his daughter's hotel almost immediately set him off. He was prepared to go over there and rain hellfire on him until he left, but he suddenly remembered something that made his whole plan worthless.

…He couldn't harm sinners! Even though Archfiends weren't technically sinners, the contract between him and Heaven was an advanced one, more intention based than pure technicalities which were his specialty. Unless he could suddenly stop seeing Archfiends as sinners at the drop of a hat, he was basically useless.

Besides, wouldn't it make more sense to trust his daughter? After all, she is his spawn and has power similar to him. Even though she doesn't know it, if she was really serious she could control everything in the hotel along with a large part of hell itself at her will without any trouble. Is it really so crazy to think that she could handle an Archfiend if he or she tried putting their hands on her?

IT ABSOLUTELY IS!!!!

Lucifer's a good father, he loves his daughter so much that he's made 38,282 rubber duckies of her, all with different outfits, no way in HELL was he gonna let her be in the same 1000 mile radius of an Archfiend, let alone in the same building! 

With that thought, Lucifer quickly got everything ready. He put a tophat on top of his tophat, he grabbed his suitcase, sifted through over 40 thousand warhammers he put in there for other reasons and pulled out a rubber ducky shaped like his wife, Lilith, and wrote a quick "Dinner's canceled, fuk u" to Seviathan and his family. Just like that, the devil was ready to confront the DEMON in his daughter's hotel!

"Bye bye Mr. Rubber Ducky Chocolate Chunker Wunker Bunker Now With Even Bigger Chunks Of Chocolate, bye bye Ms. Eight-handled Divergent Sword Sila Divine General Quakoraga, bye bye, Ms…"

He just had to say goodbye to his ducky's first.

What the fuck?

[Electricity]

|Elite Ability|

Unordinary - Allows the user to create and control electricity(not kinesis) as well as use it to slightly enhance their own stats, they can also sense and see nearby currents even through walls, and they can also ground opponent lightning with their own body.

I mean, that's a super cool ability, but what the hell was that first part? Why is Charlie's dad coming after me? Is it because I'm black?

I was having a good day too. Right after I had caught Angel and Charlie drinking my…Special sauce, I decided to go upstairs and drink the Permafrost concoction I had got a while back and after a few minutes of sweating my balls off on my bed, I felt a lot better. I had also spammed B2A for a good 45 minutes up until I finally got Izuru Kamakura again.

Seriously, the things that were in B2A were crazy. I was able to get the Ironclad's demon form from Slay the Spire, Eve's knowledge on chemicals from Invincible and somehow Ippo's dick size from Hajime no Ippo… Though, that didn't really do anything since ya boy was already packing mad heat before, but a win is a win.

Anyway, I injected myself with the anesthesia I bought when I beat down Alastor and laid down on the bed. Instead of trying to do literal surgery on myself, I decided to do the same thing and slotted in Crystal Caesar to make constructs to do surgery on me. It also seemed that becoming an Archfiend enhanced my abilities to a degree since the constructs were easily able to do surgery on an ultimate level.

I thought that I would have to guide them through the whole process, but it looks like I was just able to lay there while my eye got removed and replaced with a Sharingan. It took about 30 minutes, but eventually after cleaning all of the blood and dispelling my crystal constructs, I was left with one good Sharingan and one good Byakugan. I could only hope that I peaked at three tomoes since anything higher involves the death of someone close to you.

Ignoring that depressing little tidbit, I actually got a ticket out of that as well.

[In Shining Armor]

|Uncommon Trait|

Whenever you save a damsel in distress they are almost guaranteed to develop romantic feelings for you.

Dude, I have like 80 sex perks by now, give me something else for God's sake! I'm an incubus, I don't need to spec all of my stats into sex, I already have home court advantage!!

Whatever, at least it was something I guess. 

So now we're here with me walking down the stairs with a freshly implanted Sharingan along with a message that the devil himself is gonna come swallow me whole…Pause. When I finally got down to the bottom floors, I saw a very strange sight.

Charlie was disheveled as all hell, her hair a mess with clothes that seemed to be thrown on haphazardly. She was pacing back and forth, constantly growing and chewing her fingernails off to the point where a small pile formed around her feet. Daki was nowhere to be seen, but Niffty and Angel Dust were both standing by her looking just as confused as I was.

"Hey uhh, Charlie, you good?" I asked, trying to put a hand on her shoulder to calm her down, however it seemed like she was having none of that shit as she instantly grabbed my hand and squeezed like a vice. 

"Shit, sorry James." She said, seeming genuinely apologetic as she sat down on the couch, still chewing on her nails. Meanwhile, I waved my hand around trying to shake off the numbness still present. I thought me being an Archfiend would close the gap between me and her a bit, but she basically effortlessly crushed my hand.

"What the hell's wrong?" Angel Dust asked, sitting down next to her and patting her back comfortingly while she stopped chewing her nails and instead sighed.

"My…My dad's visiting."

Oh.

"Well, don't you have that dinner with Sevi-something?"

"That's the thing, my dad just called and said that those were cancelled and also said that he would come visit the hotel today."

"W-well, why're you so stressed out, then? If he's just your dad there shouldn't be anything to be worried about, right/" I said, trying to probe for information and hopefully confirm that he wasn't coming here for me.

"Well me and my dad, we…" She tapped her fingers together. "We used to be super close, even when I turned 200, but when mom left a few years ago, it's like he wasn't even interested in anything but himself, hell, he doesn't even believe in my hotel, he just gave me it to get me off his back." She said, sighing as we were gonna try and comfort her, but suddenly…

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"Hey, Char-Char, you in there? Well, I know you're in there, but are you gonna answer the door?"

"Shit, that's already him!?" Charlie whisper-yelled, snapping her fingers. In an instant, all of the fingernail clipping on the floor disappeared and a tidy red suit appeared on Charlie's frame. "Alright, let's go, focus mode, get your head in the game." She muttered to herself while notably not moving towards the door.

"Char-Char, I'm respecting your privacy and property as your dad and the ruler of hell, but I am exerting my authority as the devil by not caring and coming in anyways!"

Aw fuck.
