Chapter 3 - Demonic Ascension:

[3P POV]

After the fall of Lucifer and Aurelion and their armies as well as their loss of Satan the rebels were in a worst position than ever before, the Angels were stripped of their grace and taken into a more dark form, and with Lucifer's 'perfect' form being one of if not his most prideful thing about himself other than his power he did not take the situation well but eventually calmed down, Aurelion however was not too disturbed by the situation at all, rather possibly a bit traumatized by how Sandalphon saw him now which hurt far FAR more than any Fall from Grace.

"God damn it!" Lucifer says "Aurelion why the fuck are you not concerned?!" Lucifer shouts at his twin "I am concerned Lucifer, more than you might think" Aurelion responds with a more deep tone than Lucifer had ever heard, while not exactly an angered tone it did surprise Lucifer, but he chose to ignore it.

"Fuck! I cant see in this shitty red realm!" Lucifer screeches "Luci there is no need to swear so unfoundedly" Aurelion says in response to Lucifer's profanity; Lucifer then holds out his hand and immediately divine light forms "I still have my power? That old bastard dint even take a single bit of it" Lucifer says proud; Aurelion imitates Lucifer's actions having the exact same result and not losing any amount of power at all.

"Despite the situation we want you to know that we are still willing to serve you lords, you both are still the rightful lords of all creation and we will serve you until the end of time" Koatal says beside his army "Quick question for you all, how many of you retained your Angelic Powers?" Lucifer asks.

All of the other members of the rebellion attempt to create a single spark of light, all of which but two failed, Koatal and an an Owl "Despite the lack of capabilities in terms of power the Angelic Army is still willing to serve you my lords" Koatal says on behalf of his army "Then what use are you all to us without your powers?" Lucifer says disappointed and with a snap all of the thousands of Fallen Angels aside from Koatal and the Owl were completely disintegrated.

"What?" Koatal states dumbfounded "Yo- You erased them? After everything they did for you? You both are monsters you never cared about orders you just wanted the power for yourselves and you manipulated us to do it!" Koatal says enraged but the Owl on the other hand seemed inspires by the two former Archangels "Gee did you just figure that out? Newsflash there is no order without power, we still will make better rulers than God and we will take his place as Ruler of All of Creation! We will rise again and take our position by force if we have to, Are you with us or not Koatal?" Lucifer asks sadistically.

"No! Never again!" Koatal responds bluntly; Lucifer sighs and manifests a dark spike out of thin air and impales Koatal with it and mixed it with a bit of his Angelic Power to make the attack capable of harming him which it had "And to think you killed 6 Archangels, what a disappointment really, I had high hopes for you but in the end it was all for nothing" Lucifer says smugly.

Koatal runs away to the harsh infernal landscape "No need to go after him, he poses no threat to us anyway" Lucifer says clearly unbothered "Now you Paimon you will certainly not disappoint us will you?" Lucifer said, he quite issued rather than really asking "Of course not my lords, that scum betraying your rightful places in the universe and beyond as well as portraying you as the villain, I will do everything in my power to serve you both and set you on the path of the true rulers of all Creation and take out that false almighty" Paimon states with absolute devotion and sincerity.

Aurelion, Paimon, and Lucifer would sense 4 foreign and Demonic along with one other presence's in the distance "Demons" Aurelion states "Thats a bit disrespectful dont you think" A robotic and monotone voice calls out "And who the fuck are you 5?" Lucifer asks in a bit of an annoyed tone sounding out of patience "Just 5 People conspiring against the Heavenly Order" A green behemoth states "That big old 'Almighty' bastard brought light into creation with only a moments worth without it as soon as he had manifested it" A seemingly sea creature stated.

"And us, we want it gone we want a proper order in work" A man seemingly made of blue, purple, and red flames explained "A better order, and what better one then taking out those 'divine' beings and leaving the power to us" a green spider like creature culminated their goals "I like the way you think, what would you think of combining our powers and efforts to make an alliance" Lucifer says with a broad grin.

"I think we can all get by that, what shall we call ourselves?" the pyre'd being said "What better name than the SevenDeadlySins" And from henceforth a new alliance was formed; Shortly after those events Lucifer used his Divine Power to reshape the fabric of the infernal dimension itself and create seven layers of the realm and many diverse species of Demons.

The Sins would then go across these seven rings as a circus trope; Lucifer was the self-procliamed ringleader, Asmodeus who was the demon in the pyre form represented the illusionist, Mammon the green clown as the jester, the Spider Demon Beelzebub as the athleticism, Leviathan as the water performer, and finally Belphegor as the animal 'tamer' most specifically for the Hellhounds a race of anthropomorphic wolven creatures.

Aurelion and Paimon were apart of their alliance but were not apart of the Seven Deadly Sins or the circus trope; Despite being called the 7 Deadly Sins and 7 Rings there were only 6 of them, however the banished Satan was acknowledged as an honorary member as the Sin of Wrath due to his hatred for all life in the universe.

Eventually the Root of all Evil decided to act by manipulating one of the two first humans Eve and convincing her to indirectly allow the Root of All Evil full access to the universe and in doing so it recreated Eve's consciousness as a new human living out Eve's life for her in her place and taking care of her children with Adam all while being forced to watch it inside of her own mind.

Eventually the human taking over Eve's life would leave Adam and go to the forbidden Garden of Eden where Lucifer would seek his revenge upon God by deceiving and taking advantage of his new most prized creations, however upon getting to know Eve (who now went by Lilith) the two fell in love but, after consuming the fruit from the Garden Lucifer had unintentionally let the Root of All Evil take away the immortal life of Lilith, Adam, their two sons Cain and Abel, as well as any future descendants which not even Asherah could restore, due to the actions Lilith and her husband had to take care of her family along with Adam.

Eventually Lilith decided to leave her human life behind and left Adam fully to go and follow Lucifer back to Hell where he bestowed upon her Immortality once more, Demonic psychology, and immense dark powers; She married Lucifer and went by his side.

Eventually the Sins had a falling out and all of them (besides Lucifer) engaged in a war for who would rule all of Hell, though Lucifer did not engage in this war he eventually stepped in to put an end to it and the final results would end up in them creating a system for the way Hell would work with each Sin only ruling over their own respective ring aside from Lucifer himself; Asmodeus would rule over the Lust Ring, Leviathan would rule over the Envy Ring, Belphegor would rule over the Sloth Ring, Mammon would rule over the Greed Ring, Beelzebub would rule over the Gluttony Ring, and finally Lucifer would rule over the Pride Ring as well as the rest of Hell; None of the Sins wanted the Wrath Ring due to the fact that the Imps born there allegedly reproduced through incenst which all the Sins (especially Asmodeus) was disgusted by so the Ring was left without proper management.

Lucifer would then disregard his last name of "Morningstar" and changed it to "Magne" due to despising the 'royal' name God had given him after the fall, and due to the fact that he preferred the new names meaning and used it as his households name; Paimon was made the second closest ally to Lucifer next to Aurelion and was given his own Noble household to partially rule over Hell as well as him and his future heirs being observers and messengers of the Mortal Plane for Lucifer known as the Ars Goetia, as for Aurelion he had also disregarded the name of "Morningstar" but did not take up a latter name for himself as his household was named Aurelion, Aurelion was made the Grand Duke of Hell as well as Lucifer's closest ally and adviser.

Unlike the Sins and Goetia who have direct rules to their authority and contradictions, Aurelion can make, issue, change, or create any rule he wants for Hell and he can do quite literally anything with his Authority that the only ones who have the power to disregard anything is the Royal Family itself, quite frankly Aurelion was essentially the De-Facto Ruler of Hell, if Lucifer or Lilith and/or their heirs were to step down or briefly complete missions outside of Hell Aurelion would instantly be in charge for as long as they are gone, his authority easily extends above the Goetia, Sins or even the Sins own potential future Royal Families for their respective Rings (aside from the Magne's) or the lower and lowest established classes by far.

Later on Lucifer and Lilith would attempt to conceive over a dozen children although at their birth they would instantly lose their lives, eventually one female child was born fully healthy and full of life who at the suggestion of Aurelion would be named Charlotte (who would be nicknamed Charlie, or Char-Char as Lucifer liked to call her) the family would eventually cause immense joy for all of Hell, however the Root of All Evil would make itself known to Lilith alone telling her that she cursed her that any child she would conceive would immediately die at first light, however they allowed Charlie to live and will continue to let her live on the condition that Lilith uses her power to cause Chaos instead of joy, in fear and love for her daughter she agreed.

Eventually the stress and guilt of causing misery for the denizens of hell was an incredible burden so she would not be a very active mother for Charlie but would still maintain steady rule alongside Lucifer, both of who she loved very dearly; Thousands of years later Leviathan as envious as he was encountered a female demonic sea creature similar to his own named Bethesda and with their lust for power and true allegiance to Azathoth who they saw as their true lord and god.

Leviathan and Bethesda conceived thousands of children together and sacrificed them in the name of Azathoth, eventually both of them would come up with a plan to take over Hell, they eventually kept the last two children who they named Leviathan and Hellsa with the four taking up the household name of Von Eldritch, Beelzebub would also have a child conceived from an unknown mother which he named Bee-lzebub after himself, his daughter however resembled nothing like his spider like appearance but rather a seemingly light orange skinned Hellhound with wings despite presumably not being born of the same class.

Eventually under the request of Aurelion no one but Lucifer, the Sins, Lilith, and Paimon (and the most trusted of Paimon's heirs) would know or reveal that Aurelion was Lucifer's brother to avoid dispute in the lower class and questioning of the hierarchy, all of which they had agreed on; The Von Eldritch would abuse their two children and force them to act in a way of higher etiquette as well as force Seviathan to court and win over Charlie since the first time they met, eventually once they entered Hell School (Hell's version of High-School) they had officially begun dating, Charlie also developed an intense rivalry with Seviathan's sister Hellsa, years after Charlie and Seviathan had a falling out after Charlie accidentally hurt Seviathan for claiming he "had" to marry Charlie due to his fathers wishes leading them to become separate.

Paimon would also conceive 70 unknown children all from different mothers, eventually he would conceive two more (also of different mothers) known as Andrealphus and Stolas, however aside from the latter two this took place long before the birth of Charlie, Leviathan, Hellsa, and Beel-lzebub; Stolas would have a pre-arranged marriage with Andrealphus' half sister, although she was not born from Paimon but rather by an unknown father and presumable concubine and/or affair of Paimon; After the two came of age and married they eventually conceived a child which they would name Octavia which Seviathan and Charlie would commonly and happily babysit while they were in their relationship and after they broke up where they both neutrally retained a close bond as her friends however Charlie and Leviathan would not hang out with Octavia at the same time due to their separation though at this time thousands of years had passed.

Eventually with the arrival of diverse Demon Races and new ranks the Royal Family of Hell (excluding Charlie who was still too young at the time) and Aurelion would establish a political hierarchy going in the way of: {#1: Magne/Royal Household #2: Aurelion/Grand Ducal Household #3: The Seven Deadly Sins (Excluding Lucifer) #4: The Ars Goetia #5: The Overlords #6: Kingpins #7: Sinners #8: The Hellborn (Excluding the higher class) #9: Imps and Hellhounds}

Satan while banished in purgatory managed but was able to access the outside world in an astral and spiritual weakened form however only when summoned by a Demon or mortal, speaking through one of his creations, speaking through statues of himself, and when there is enough malevolence and sin being committed. Eventually Satan would contact one of his creations known as Emily who he discarded long ago and later went by the name of The Divine, even after being discarded by her creator she was still as loyal as devoted as ever and after getting in contact with the Devil she created her own army of worshippers, servants and 'prophets' for the Devil and by extension the Root of All Evil.

Lucifer would stumble upon a female Kaiju Demon known as Missi Zilla who was immensely violent but incredibly weak but seeing her potential offered her immense power in return for her soul and devoted services which she agreed to without hesitation, she then used the powers Lucifer had given her to conquer her home of Jurassic Island; Later on Lucifer orders that Leviathan would devour any Fallen Angel kicked out of Heaven and finding themself in Hell (all of which would instantly find themselves in the Envy Ring after their fall) in his True Demon Form considering its massive size, one female Fallen Angel who was an Angelic Blacksmith known as Carmilla Carmine for the exterminators found herself in the Envy Ring, with her well experience in combat and other skills she managed to avoid Leviathan for a time but eventually he found her and attempted to devour her but using her Angelic Weaponry and immense skill she managed to mutilate Leviathan from the inside of his mouth and cut and severely damage one of his teeth, Lucifer witnessing event and impressed by her prowess offered her immense power in return for her soul just like Missi Zilla, which she had reluctantly accepted due to seeing no other choice; The two puppets of Lucifer eventually became Overlords and extremely powerful ones at that.

Years Later Satan was once again summoned but this time by a mortal who sought to become a Demon in essence, once summoned Satan imbued the mortal soul with immense dark power and a malevolent soul, after this mortal died "he" would instantly be granted immense power due to the deal with Satan as soon as he was reborn in Hell and used that power along with his immense knowledge of Dark Magic to overthrow Overlords who had been dominant for centuries and introduce himself in front of all of Hell as the Radio Demon, hence his name and ability to manipulate frequencies on a malevolently magical scale; All the Overlords he defeated would be banished to his own Pocket Dimension he created known as "The Show" made of quite literal pure insanity which would repeatedly kill the Overlords it held and made their deaths more worse than the last, and by extension of being immeasurably insane himself and making a deal with an unimaginably powerful dark force he could look into the Pocket Dimension without suffering any mental harm.

The Radio Demon would continue his spree over the same night until he encountered the Twin Overlords of Theater who managed to fend off and even defeat the Radio Demon with relative ease which forced him to retreat, regardless of the loss Lucifer was incredibly impressed by the Radio Demon's (making himself known by his true name Alastor Hartfelt) Dark Magical capabilities and even got along with him quite well to the point where they could almost be called best friends, he even made Alastor a diplomat of Hell allowing him to get meetings with Heaven on account of Lucifer and other nobles, however Lucifer was closer to his brother Aurelion due to their shared experience, Alastor despite only being an Overlord by technicality he was still stronger than some of the lower classed ones and later befriended the Cannibal Town Leader & Overlord Rosie.

A technological businessman and cultist would eventually find themselves reincarnated in Hell and also regain immense power among their rebirth, "he" would then secure, create, and supply technology for all of Hell and gain much influence in power, due to Alastor's side of old fashioned 'technology' the two locked on into a fierce battle of who would rule technology, but upon all of their physical encounters he would almost effortlessly defeat the Radio Demon, despite this Alastor would continue his usual life as a Radio Host once more in Hell, his technological rival Vox would then ally himself with two other Overlords known a Valentino and Velvett owning two parts of modern technology and day–to-day activities which alongside them Vox had gained even more power.

Recently after the fall of Lucifer and Aurelion, with Heaven God was heartbroken that his two most loved children had betrayed him and not even Asherah could cheer him up, God eventually replaced Lucifer and Aurelion with Seraphiel the patriarch of the Seraphim Family as the "King of Heaven" and granted him power equal to that of the entire Morningstar Family aside from the Fallen Lucifer and Aurelion; The Archangels eventually left Heaven to explore and guard the rest of Creation while God and Asherah had their own outings, and Seraphiel was inactive, Michael eventually left Azrael in charge as he was the youngest Archangel at the time and too young to guard creation with them and thus Azrael grew up without his siblings and picked up some "bad habits" and as the de-facto ruler of Heaven he led the Exorcist Army alongside Lute (who became his most trusted and loyal ally as well as mother of his child) and even made up some incredibly bias, sexist, and precise rules of Heaven.

Carmilla Carmine was the "Head" of the Overlords, while not exactly the leader Lucifer and Aurelion occasionally took charge of their mighty group despite not being apart of their rankings, Aurelion took charge more as Lucifer was not a very active ruler but still acknowledged nonetheless, even so to the point where some of Hell even considers Aurelion the True Ruler of Hell due to being more active and benevolent than Lucifer, a demonstration of this is how he donated funds and resources to the chaotic Wrath Ring and to the genuinely kind Hellhound Adoption Centers and even took out the other abusive adoption centers economically, there was also the fact that Aurelion did not care much about hierarchy and despite having servants of the lower class he treated all of them with much kindness, care, and even understanding to the point where some of the servants even fell in love with him (although the ones who were in love were the females) as Aurelion had also bestowed enough power to all his servants for them to be able to defends themselves which could also enable them to hold their own against the weakest of the Overlords albeit for a short time. 

Once more since Aurelion took charge of the Overlords and treated them as equals and with much benevolence, all of them (excluding the three Vs due to their egos, as well as Alastor but for the latter it is only due to his inactivity as an Overlord) happily acknowledged Aurelion as the leader of the Overlords, Aurelion was also more responsible and merciful than Lucifer as he would never torture a lower class or bestow harsh judgement and even reformed the entire Infernal Court into a much better and merciful judicial system, Aurelion also attends meetings for Demonic Royalty such as the Goetia (almost always without Lucifer aside from extremely pressing matters) and Aurelion was possibly more acknowledged, loved by others in both meanings, and admired more than he was in Heaven; Currently despite being a Fallen Angel, Aurelion has risen more than he could have as the Archangelic Heavenly Royalty, and now this is where the story will really begin.
