Xelana Dream and Hexena Arachnoid exchanged a brief glance. Comprehension clear in their polychromatic and crimson gazes.
If the Original Demon had already decided to kill them, than there truly wasn't anything they could do to change that. Considering, he was 'absolute' in their minds, so arguing wasn't even an option.
Than again, they couldn't even plead for mercy. Not when they knew just how colossal the amount of collateral damage the battles fought between them had caused to the Demon Realm. It, in and of itself was perfectly enough to grant them a severe punishment, let alone the havoc caused by the battles fought between their subordinates.
The innumerable innocent demons killed in this war. The hatred and resentment that sprouted and has now taken deep roots between their five and many other demonic or other races because of them.
And several other harms caused by the war of this scale at this time when the demons and others were already getting killed by the Monsters coming from the unknown portals.
Not to mention, there was obviously also the involvement of other second order Primordial Demon Gods, Gods and Goddesses from other regions and realms in this war. Which again, further resulted in even more deaths.
Anyhow, the two Demonesses understood that they had done something wrong, something the Master did not appreciate at all and was perhaps even angered, and now they must own up to those wrongdoings and accept their punishments given to them like the good Demonesses' they were.
Otherwise, who knows what the Master would do to them, if they made him even more displeased or irritated than he already was.
However, if they were going to die anyways, than they would at least die after fulfilling their deepest of desires. Instantly with the thought, their gazes burned with a towering determination. The subsequent moment, they again had their attention focused on Demon, and while walking towards him, he also noticed them. The Demonesses' locking their determined gazes with his curious gleam.
In a few moments, the Demonesses' were before him, and by now everyone also had their attention focused on them, including the other three Progenitors. Naturally, they were all curious about the kind of explanation these two would provide.
Pride had her lips arched, and with understanding, without a word she took a step backward, coming to a stop behind her Master. Her curved gaze watching the two serious girls with intrigue.
Moreover, Demon himself also didn't clear the misunderstanding just yet. His mind more interested in hearing their thoughts or what they had to say.
"Your Eminence!...
For our egotistical and impertinent actions, we have no excuses and would not justify the devastation, upheaval and deaths that we have caused in your realm, despite perfectly knowing about the current situation of the realm and about the consequences of our actions.
Therefore, for that we would happily accept the Death you would grant us by your own hands~ "
The Demoness of Unholy Imagination: Xelana Dream smiled genuinely with no remorse, even as she accepted her impending fate.
The while looking into her master: Demon Apxsinuous who couldn't stop his mouth from parting slightly. He was clearly caught off guard by what he heard.
'How come these two are already at 'death'? Don't they know how important second order Primordial Demon Gods are to the realm even normally, let alone now.'
He was really flabbergasted, not knowing the reason that made them simply forefit their lives, shouldn't they at least try to explain or ask for mercy.
Didn't they love their lives.
Demon even had to question himself, was he really that tyrannical? But he -
"However!... "
'Oo... There it is! A demand at last... ' Demon sighed inwardly. His mind relaxing. 'Indeed, how can Primordials Demons such as them give up and forefit their lives so easily, that would be ridiculous, a joke!...
After all, we are the race attached to material and worldly the most!'
He focused his gaze on the Wicked Hex Demoness: Hexena Arachnoid, who on getting his attention, further continued.
"As we would be dying soon, therefore, if master could we want master to fulfill our greatest desire, please we implore you, take our innocence and bless us unworthy souls with 'you' master!~ "
After mustering all her boundless courage, Hexena Arachnoid finally requested with all her sincerity and seriousness, there was no hesitation or doubt in her eyes nor was there any fear or regret in them for her soon coming death despite her world shaking cosmic identity. All their was in that polychromatic gaze was hope, optimism and longing.
Meanwhile, Demon just stared at the two Demonesses' with a blank yet an amused expression. It was a strange emotion that even he couldn't explain regardless of who he was. Again remembering the creature he was trying to understand, a woman.
'How humorous, did she really ask me what I think she did?' He wondered. His amusement rising.
Considering, it was his first time a second order Primordial Demon Goddess was actually demanding something from of him when they were getting punished no less. However, Demon immediately came out of his thoughts on realizing how quickly the atmosphere had shifted.
The air had chilled while the space burned with fury like the hall was suppressed. It felt suffocating to even stand there, not for him of course, maybe for the five progenitors. In contrast, the two Demonesses' felt a tremor run through their souls as a primal echo resounded in the vast hall!
"The audacity~ "
Their gaze shook, as they felt seven wrath-filled stares locked onto them like being preyed on by seven apex predators.
Nonetheless, they gritted their teeths and humphed towards the enraged maids. Their gazes matched for but a brief instance. Regardless, they did not cower.
Not now!
Not before the Original Demon!
Staring back into them with that same intensity. Currently, they did not even fear the Profane Primordials or the Mother Demon. More like, they couldn't afford that.
Whatever the reason, they showed that they were dead serious. No way they were cowering now like all the other times when they always listened to them either because of the fear or respect they felt towards them.
Anyways, when their lives was already in the master's hands so what could these servants even do? Meanwhile, Demon understanding that his maids were about to erupt, glanced towards them; which immediately quelled them down. Nevertheless, they still snarled and sneered at the two Demonesses. The disdain and rage being clear as day in their gazes and expressions.
Alternatively, Apxsinuous again sighed inwardly.
Grasping that if he didn't console these seven here and now than even if he spared the two Demonesses they would still eventually end up dying by their hands.
'My beauties - '
'Master we know that every demon belongs to you, and it would've been totally alright if you had shown any interest in or desire for them, at which point, they should instead feel honored to serve you with their body's.
However, how dare these two demand that you have them. It is totally unacceptable!~ ' Lilith argued immediately.
'Master, you aren't something that these two could have, not even in their dreams and certainly not after their selfish actions that harmed your realm and with it Lilith too!~ '
Lunaria added coldly, even using the Mother Demon herself to convince him.
'Indeed Master, as one Absolute, only you hold the right to demand anything of anyone in this realm. Not the other way around.
And if these pathetic beings can't understand something so basic, than they would face our wrath, we won't grant them the mercy of death- No! We would make them beg for it, make them repent and redeem themselves for uttering such rebellious words~ '
Morrigan growled, with death itself rippling around her figure.
"Master, you are too benevolent for a being dubbed as the Evilest~ " Violet voiced. Her tone measured, calm even. However, if it weren't for her bone chilling gaze, one would wonder, if she was actually fine with what the two Demonesses demanded.
Her head turned. Gaze now focused on Xelana Dream and Hexena Arachnoid. Her velvet lips parted. The Demonic Dragon's glassy voice spreading through the air, sharp yet smooth at the same instant.
"First they dare play around in your realm! Slaughtering and wreaking havoc in it without any regard, even inviting other Origin Progenitors to help them in their meaningless war, thus, creating even more chaos and devastation~
The while completely ignoring the threat and danger possessed by the encroaching unknowns of those strange Monsters and spatial vortexs~
And now these two bold woman have the impertinence to stand before you and without any shame demand that you bless their wretched souls and miserable body's with your Essence. Why, because very soon they would be dying anyways, for the transgressions they have committed against you and your realm. Because, they are obediently accepting their fate of death. Because they aren't revolting or rebelling against you~
How laughable, to even think that they're actually capable of that~ "
The Profane Primordial sneered with sheer contempt.
Making the subject of her disdain tremble in both rage and shame. Now even they felt embarrassed by their own actions. Nonetheless, they weren't some weak-willed girls; being Demonesses of the second order, what Violet said could never faze them.
Xelana Dream and Hexena Arachnoid merely scoffed inwardly.
Indeed, they were shameless, so what? Soon they would be dying anyways. Not to mention, what mattered was their master's response and not his servants.
Meanwhile, Violet again focusing on her Master further continued...
"Do you not see how absurd that is Master yet despite that, here these two are, still alive and standing before you, perfectly fine even. Now do you understand, you truly are a benevolent being! Maybe even more than the Paragon of Virtue: Lady Faith herself to allow these two to live till this second!~ "
Whereas, Demon Apxsinuous on the other hand ... ... ... ... ...
