Chapter 28: The Twisted History

Aurelius reclined on his bed, bathed in the lingering scent of a familiar perfume.

"Hmm. This fragrance? Ah, it must be Albedo's."

Albedo had been granted permission by Aurelius to enter his room, and she seized every opportunity during his absence to make her presence known.

It was obvious from the pervasive aroma that she had left her mark on the room.

"It's nice... But I think it's a little too much... It would be awkward if I smelled like Albedo every time I had sex with another girl. I need to warn her."

He frowned at Albedo's mad obsession. 

While her possessive tendencies added to her allure as a yandere character, he knew it would be bothersome if it continued.

He had to get her habit corrected right from the beginning; otherwise, she would create a lot of trouble for him in the future.

Knock! Knock!

A knock at the door interrupted Aurelius in his reverie.

"Aurelius-sama, everything is prepared."

"Enter."

Click-creak!

The large door swung open, flooding the dimly lit room with light.

Narberal entered, bowing respectfully in her maid uniform, while Clementine stood nervously behind her, exposing her bewitching body.

"You've performed admirably, Narberal. Your turn will come... after that of Shalltear, Albedo, and Luminous. I trust you'll wait patiently until then."

"I am deeply grateful for your generosity towards me, a humble servant. To dedicate my body to you, I can wait no matter how long it takes, whether it be a hundred years or a thousand years."

Clementine observed Narberal's excessive loyalty with a restless expression, while Aurelius, feeling somewhat awkward about her unwavering allegiance, maintained his composure and assumed his role as a ruler.

"It won't be long. Let's proceed with our tasks."

"Yes, Aurelius-sama!"

-Clap.

The door closed slowly, leaving only Aurelius and Clementine in the room. Aurelius casually appraised Clementine's voluptuous figure with a nonchalant gaze.

Clementine flinched a little at that blatant gaze.

'Who, who...?'

Clementine was nervous about seeing this man for the first time. 

He wasn't the handsome blond that she fought with. The man in her field of vision was like a white jade with whitish gray hair and bloody eyes—he was like a celestial being.

"You seem uncertain. Yes, it's me."

"Lu... Lucifer-sama?"

As Aurelius stood to his feet, Clementine instinctively took a step back.

"It's natural to be wary. Yes, I am Lucifer. I understand this may be confusing for you. Allow me to reintroduce myself."

In his white attire, Aurelius stood tall, his figure exuding confidence. Though he was slightly shorter than the handsome blond man, in Clementine's eyes, he was the tallest of the whitish gray-haired men she had ever seen.

"I am Aurelius Nova Lucifer, the Absolute Ruler of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, also known as the Dragon Demon God."

Upon hearing those words, Clementine held her breath.

"Yes, yes...?"

"Hmm, did you not hear me? I said, I am the Dragon Demon God."

Dragon Demon God!

That single title was enough to send shivers down Clementine's spine.

The Slane Theocracy revered the Six Great Gods, who faced a formidable foe known in ancient times—the God of Calamity. Even the combined might of all Six Great Gods couldn't defeat this transcendent entity. An existence beyond the realm of gods, yet still referred to as a deity.

That God of Calamity was none other than Aurelius Nova Lucifer. This knowledge was highly classified within the Slane Theocracy.

But Clementine, who now heard it firsthand from sources outside the organization, couldn't help but be shocked.

"So, you're saying... you're the God of Calamity...?"

"Yeah. Oh, by the way, that title—I have now heard that from you as well. You seemed to recognize me. You called me the God of Calamity. Just like that pest who summoned angels, he was also from Slane Theocracy."

Was he referring to Nigun Grid Luin, the leader of the Sunlight Scripture?

Clementine couldn't fathom why his name had come up, but before she could delve more into the topic, Aurelius spoke once again.

"The Slane Theocracy knows about me... The Six Great Gods called me the God of Calamity? And if you know my name, you must be affiliated with the Slane Theocracy."

"No, I... I'm sorry."

Aurelius locked eyes with her, his crimson gaze captivating. Despite her crouching, cowering form, he admired her beauty and licked his lips.

He wanted to taste it quickly, but he had plenty of time, so it was bearable. 

First, through her, he needed to understand what Slane Theocracy knew about his existence as Dragon Demon God.

"Do you know what happened recently in Slane Theocracy?"

"I don't know… I'm a fugitive who stole an item from the Slane Theocracy and ran away. I don't know about any recent news."

"I see... Did you steal the Crown of Wisdom I found when I saved Nfirea?"

"That's correct..."

Aurelius also nodded affirmatively.

"In that case, what is my status within the Slane Theocracy?"

For a moment, Clementine's cheeks flushed at Aurelius's beauty, but she quickly averted her gaze and answered:

"You are the most feared entity by the Six Great Gods, the one destined to bring about humanity's downfall, the great cataclysmic deity who will usher in the world's destruction, and the dragon-demon god who will taint everything with evil."

"Be more precise."

"There exists a legend from 600 years ago, foretold by the Six Great Gods. It speaks of the dragon god and demon god—the ultimate deity—whose descent into this world would spell disaster. You... you fulfill that prophecy."

"Continue."

Resting his chin on his hand, Aurelius locked eyes with Clementine. She hesitated for a moment, but at his prompting to continue, she spoke up.

"For centuries, the Slane Theocracy has sought to forge alliances with the true Dragon Lords in preparation for the impending disaster. They attempted to secure alliances with the true dragon lords... However, only one entity agreed to the Slane Theocracy's proposition. He is the current guardian of this world, Tsaindorcus Vaision, known as the Platinum Dragon Lord. He alone accepted the Slane Theocracy's offer."

"And what about the other dragon lords?"

"They dismissed the Slane Theocracy's claims as unfounded nonsense and vehemently opposed them. The Deep Darkness Dragon Lord and the Elder Coffin Dragon Lord declared neutrality and withdrew, while actively seeking to destroy the Slane Theocracy."

Aurelius found it rather amusing that the original course of history, unbeknownst to him, had already begun to twist from its intended path due to his mere presence.

Smiling at the thought, Aurelius turned his gaze to Clementine, who appeared troubled.

"The Platinum Dragon Lord. Does this Dragon Lord still maintain an alliance with the Slane Theocracy?"

"Externally, yes, but I'm not privy to the specifics."

"I see... Well, I had a skirmish with someone named Nigun in Carne Village. In that scenario, the Slane Theocracy must have become aware of my presence to some extent. Fufufu..."

He couldn't help but simply laugh at the struggles of those insignificant beings.

"Foolish, too foolish. Those Six Great Gods who call me the God of Calamity... must be the same kids who pestered me every time in the past. Haha, then the next destination is the Slane Theocracy. There is something I wanted there too. Perhaps I should pay them a personal visit."

When she heard those arrogant words, Clementine imagined the fall of the Slane Theocracy.

A legendary being that even the Six Great Gods were afraid of in the past. That great being was now aiming for the Slane Theocracy. Clementine swallowed her saliva in nervousness.

"Well... It won't do you any harm. Don't be so frightened. You're my slave bitch from now on, so you should just think of that and remove the rest of the world from your head."

"Yes, yes..!!"

Clementine nodded like a chick, and Aurelius smirked at the sight and slowly loosened the knot of her white gown, revealing her flawlessly sculpted body.

"It's been quite a journey. Let's go to the main room from now on. It will be painful at first."

In the dimly lit room, Clementine gulped down her saliva as Aurelius approached with the presence of an absolute being.
