Becoming The Immortal Emperor Lucifer

With no other options available, Lucifer pressed Yes.

With his choice confirmed, his body began changing, a bright light gathering around him.

Soon he felt his horns disappear, and his skin clearly turned back to a standard colour, no longer the gloomy grey of demons; instead of the demon grey, his skin turned to the human peach colour commonly associated with humans.

As the light around him dimmed and slowly disappeared, it seemed his metamorphosis was complete.

He could tell something changed as his body felt different, and there were changes he could see with the dimming light around him.

Even though he accepted, he still found himself enclosed by darkness.

"What will happen now? I accepted after all", he thought.

Soon the darkness began to ripple and rip open as a few different figures entered the space. However, the silhouettes were challenging to make out at first.

Soon the figures became more visible, and Lucifers body became heavier as a terrible pressure could be felt in the room; it was as if in the endless Abyss of nothingness became ruled by gravity, unlike the one humans know but a more powerful terrifying force.

It felt as if the figures carried an aura that began crushing him as soon as they approached.

His body no longer seemed like it was floating as he was pressed against a floor made out of endless darkness. It was as if he was pressed against nothingness itself.

Lucifer felt his reformed body being slowly ripped apart. Unable to think or even make a sound a pain unlike any other.

As quickly as the pressure appeared, it began dissipating with a simple wave of the unknown figure's hand.

Now a hand was brought upon him outstretched and offering him help to get up.

Even though Lucifer was afraid for the first time in his life to an extent unknown to him to even be possible, he now knew whatever the beings were; they were above anything mortals could ever work to try to achieve.

He took the offer the figure in front of him offered, grasping onto the hand and slowly trying to stand up.

The figures were simply standing, not even making a single sound.

As Lucifer was finally back on his two feet trying to compose himself, he looked at the figure in front of him, a handsome young man with white hair that reached past his ears and what seemed like watch plate purple eyes. His looks were unusual, a white robe covering his body and a wooden staff in his free left hand.

Lucifer let go of the man's right hand as he tried standing using his own strength.

The silent atmosphere had been broken by the mans soft yet strong voice, "You are quite a peculiar one, hit with powerful spiritual Godly presence yet still taking the initiative to stand with your own strength. You lived a life as a human and a demon, so you are unaware, but we are what you may now as Gods".

With a simple tap of the stuff on the bottom of the endless Abyss, their surroundings changed now, no longer in the infinite Abyss of darkness itself.

Lucifer could see they were surrounded by stars and planets as a red throne appeared behind him.

The unknown man continued, "You may wish to have a seat; I admire your resilient nature, although the prominence of my subsequent words is high, and it is dire for you to concentrate on and memorise everything I will declare".

Lucifer was unable to do anything but simply listen to the figure in front of him, falling back into the throne behind him with a visible solemn expression remembering his life as a hero of the people and what it led to hundreds of years in the future.

The figure simply continued, "You were a hero summoned from another world, an anomaly never anticipated by the Gods. You were slain by your allies and passed on. Your soul unexplainedly trapped, unable to move to the afterlife, finding itself in the gap between the world of the dead and the living.

While your soul was trapped in between life and death itself, there was a coup commencing leading to the end of the God Lucifer.

With Lucifers death, he prepared to find himself a new vessel was stunned when he discovered his access to the world of the living hath been blocked by those responsible for erasing his existence.

That is when he found your lost soul initiating your reincarnation as a demon, his heart in your body awaiting your death to initiate his own rebirth.

His powers locked away until your death came. Unexpectedly it seems your death came much earlier than he anticipated, and your otherworldly soul wiped out most signs of his remaining consciousness.

You are the newborn God Lucifer, no more a mere human or demon but a reincarnated God.

It will take time for your to gain your newly obtained strength, but unlike us Gods, you are not hindered by our limitations.

You can interact with humans, unlike us, the existing Gods hindered by a stigma. That also means humans can interact with you.

Thus you are privileged with a chance to take a risk and do what other Gods could never do".

Lucifer was in a place unlike no other, with beings unlike no other, but as his heart was beating, he was feeling a particular strength filling him from the inside. Not a physical one but more of one, making him more composed and allowing him to clear his head and focus his vision.

Finally able to think and attempt talking, his mouth opened, "What could that be?" His words sounded confident and presented him as a formidable conversation partner. His words sounded unlike what he was feeling.

"The risk is one associated with coming back to earth and fixing it yourself by your own effort. Thus risking your life in the process.

Gods and humans carry a stigma making them unable to interact with each other, a stigma created to prevent Gods from abusing or indulging themselves with humans.

In recent years, however, many Gods have chosen to create incarnations. Thus allowing humans to use the powers of Gods and Gods to impact the mortal world for personal entertainment.

Not all Gods are the perfect and benevolent beings of legend; some are despicable and twisted beings of destruction that find bringing pain and destruction amusing.

There is a chance as soon as a rumour of a reincarnated and weakened Lucifer spreads, you may be in danger even when living among Gods.

There is a pathway laid out before you. Do you wish to live along with the Gods or come back to earth as a newborn God?"

The unknown figure outstretched his hand toward Lucifer, "Help us save humanity from it causing its own destruction and help us protect it from the influence of malevolent Gods.

Hercules, Prometheus, Ra, Osiris, Balder, Thor, Dionysus, Hermes, Gaia, Nemesis, and I Chronos are all here. We wish to support you and hopefully help solve the problems and the conflicts that mortals are experiencing back on earth. We are the only ones aware of you inheriting Lucifers powers and taking his position.

Lucifer still felt the pain in his chest from a life he was ripped away from and the one he lost as it was ripped away from him by the descendants of the humans he saved and those whom betrayed him as payback for the sacrifices he made as a hero.

"This world is rotten, and the root of it may be the Gods or the humanity itself. I will accept your proposal, but I can not make any promises to preserve the lives of mortals. They have been given many chances, and if they are the cause of the problem, only those innocent will preserve their lives. I will once again bloody my hands, but this time I will ensure it will serve to prevent any future bloodshed". Finishing off his statement, Lucifer grabbed the outstretched hand in front of him, finding himself standing once again.

The space around him began disappearing, and Lucifer found himself no longer surrounded by the beautiful sight of stars, planets and galaxies but instead surrounded by the ruins of his once-beloved newfound home.

"I swear your deaths will not go in vain" a single tear rolled down the side of his face as he stood there only wearing a golden cloth.

Now he stood Lucifer not only in name but becoming the actual God himself, now ready to avenge the deaths of his family and attempt to solve the issue of saving mortals from their demise, finding out the root of the problem and eradicating it.

Now he will cross the continent known by his old name Arthur but in reality, hiding his identity of the Immortal Emperor Lucifer.
