Chapter 58 Part 4) Nergal (Patreon)

“Vinee why did you drag me to this world?” A woman with long flowing black hair wearing a long black dress that went down to her feet looked at the woman next to her.

“Nergal, you only need to do as I say and nothing else. There is a woman on this world I want you to make feel complete fear and despair. I want her to suffer losing everything she loves before finally finishing her off. Make sure you destroy her soul to.” The woman, Vinee replied as she gave Nergal a sinister smile. “Out of all the gods on this world you are the most powerful at this time. Do your job well and I promise I will pull some strings to let you enter the higher plane. A step up from your current existence.”

“You just want me to torture some mortal. But to think a mortal has actually bothered you enough to want to torture them. Did they steal something from you?” Nergal was quite interested in this mortal who had actually made Vinee angry enough to want to destroy them so thoroughly.

“Mind your own business and just do as I say. I can not stay any longer or else I will be detected.” Vinee turned and opened a crack in space but did not pass through it right away. Instead she turned to Nergal and whispered: “Do your job well and there will be rewards. Fail, and you will wish you could die.”

Nergal shivered slightly at Vinee’s threat. But once the woman was gone from sight she could help but snort in anger. “Who the hell does she think she is!? Just because she was lucky enough to be born on a higher plane she thinks she is better than me!?”

After venting her frustration Nergal turned to go find the person Vinee was talking about. But suddenly realized the stupid woman did not even give her the information about the person! “She’s setting me up isn’t she? Do I need to just destroy every city I come across until I find the person?”

Nergal was depressed. If she did not find this person then she would be the one to die instead. She looked around until she saw a tall white castle built into the side of a tall mountain that seemed to rise up to the atmosphere. “I guess I will start there.”

In the Kingdom of Serenity, Juna frowned. She was currently witnessing an entire kingdom being destroyed by a single woman. She was killing each person one by one before destroying their souls. “Your Holiness, you should see this.”

Since they were still in a planning meeting Juna had no choice but to speaking formally. Desaray watched as Juna formed a small screen in front of her and the gods that were sitting there. On it was a black haired woman in a black dress killing anyone and everyone around her.

“Nergal?” Khione frowned. “That woman is taking part of this?”

“Nergal?” Desaray did not know this name.

“She is one of the oldest goddess of destruction. But normally she is shut up in her palace. She does not like to bother with things that do not interest her. There is no way she would be in this world with out a reason. But I do not know what she is doing.” Khione explained. She really did not understand what Nergal was trying to do by killing aimlessly.

“Hmmm… Nergal huh? There is only one person I can think of that can make that woman leave her palace.” Nix wrinkled her brow. She did not like the feeling she was getting at this time. “Desa, I think you should not leave this barrier until we have figured out her motive. Nergal is not easy to deal with since she wields destruction magic. It is not something that can be blocked easily.”

“What if we send Erebus to find out what she is up to? He seems quite bored as it is.” Ullr looked at the sleeping sacrifice and grinned. “I mean look he is raring to go! Right Erebus?”

With a sharp jab to the ribs, Erebus was shocked awake. “Ouch! What was that for?”

“You are raring to go right?” Ullr asked once more giving Erebus a meaningful glance.

“Uhh? Sure…” Erebus was really confused and had no idea what he was even agreeing too. He had just fallen asleep and was dreaming about defeating his wife and finally taking down the girl he fell in love with. He looked around the table and saw everyone smiling at him creepily he suddenly felt a cold shiver run down his spine.

“I am so glad you are so willing to help, my dear husband.” Nix’s words were like a bucket of cold water being poured down Erebus’ back. His wife never talked to him like that unless she planned to do something evil to him!

“May I ask what it is that you want me to do?” Erebus asked meekly. He was doing his best to avoid eye contact with his wife.

“Nothing much. Just asking Nergal what she is doing.” Khione replied with a bright smile. “If you ask I might just tell you the color of my underwear.”

Erebus’s eyes lit up as he stood up and saluted. “I will go right now! Where is she!?”
