Chapter 209

Emma was sitting next to me pouting. "I can't believe I got beaten so easily. I couldn't even hit him once…" She whined while glaring at the Alternate Azazel. When he tossed her across the room earlier, she landed on her head and got KO'd… I had to heal her once we all calmed down.

"Heh! You're a few hundred years too early to try and take me on, Blondy. And stop trying to read my mind! You're not going to get through my defenses." He replied to her with a smirk.

Emma crossed her arms and scowled at him. "Hmph!"

I turned towards my Azazel who was sitting on a swivel chair next to his counterpart. "So what's going on here, Azazel. Why are there two of you?" 

"Do you remember when I was trying to find you when you got transported to Earth Marvel?" Azazel asked me.

"Yeah?"

Azazel Alter spoke up. "Well it just so happens that one of the dimensions he sent a stray devil to was mine! I was very curious how a stray devil seemed to manifest right in the heart of my Grigori. We captured and interrogated the stray. A few months later here we are." He said.

"So, what… you traced back the dimensional energy and opened a portal here?" I asked Azazel Alter.

He snapped his fingers and grinned. "You bet I did! Of course I would wanted to meet another version of myself! Especially a genius who managed to breach into other Universes before even I could!" He said while complimenting my brother.

"Oh stop…you handsome flatterer! You're too kind!" Azazel said while grinning.

"Oh no, the handsome one here is clearly you!" Azazel Alter responded.

"I think we're both amazingly handsome now that I think about it!"

"You know, I can't help but agree with you there!" 

"Naruhodo! You're a true man of culture…"

"As are you…"

[Oh god! There's literally two of them! Make them stop!]

I snapped my finger and a small sized portal appeared over both of their heads. Water from the Arctic Ocean spilled out and completely soaked both of them before they gave me a migraine. The freezing waters shut them both up real quickly.

Emma sighed in relief next to me. "You know, I was almost wishing the evil mutant Azazel was the one we were talking to there. He would have somehow been less annoying."

Both Azazels were sputtering in indignation and were shivering for a second until their Supernatural bodies naturally adjusted to the freezing temperatures. 

"Rude, Littlest Sister. Very rude…" Azazel muttered as he used some magic to dry himself off. "Anyway, where were we? Oh right!" Azazel explained how he was in his lab a few days ago when a portal, similar to my own, manifested. At first, he thought it was me coming through. He was surprised when he saw it was another version of himself. The two of them naturally hit it off because they were literally the same person.

"So, are there any differences between our two universes?" I asked curiously? 

Azazel and Alter turned and looked at each other sheepishly. "Uh… We didn't really talk about any of that." Azazel said. "We've just been doing science and Sacred Gear experiments these past few days."

I facepalmed. My brother meets an alternate version of himself and instead of asking each other any important questions, they just decided to play together for days on end…

"Well, now that your Littlest Sister has brought it up, I am a bit curious." Azazel Alter said. "Tell me something interesting about your world." He said to me.

"Father was scared of the Celestials, after they destroyed planet Asgard, so he ripped the world in two. With the help of a few other Gods, he sealed half of the world away beyond the dimensional gap. We're currently in the Underworld of that sealed world." I said.

Azazel Alter was gaping at me in shock. "Father did what!? Ripped the world in two!? How? Why? How!?" 

"You asked how twice." Emma said.

"Because it deserves to be asked twice! How the hell does he rip the planet in two without killing everyone on it!? And then he sealed it beyond the dimensional gap? What about Great Red or Ophis? Wouldn't they have a problem with that?" He asked again.

"Them?" Azazel said. "I don't know what happened to them. No one's seen hide nor hair of either of those two for…1000 years now that I think about it. Huh? Isn't that a coincidence?" He asked himself out loud. 

Now that I thought about it, I'd never heard about those two Super Dragons either. Their existence just never came up. Clearly they existed in my Universe though according to Azazel. Did the ritual Father used end up doing something to the two of them? I suppose we would only be able to find out once the world's were merged again.

Azazel Alter rubbed his head. "Wow… that's certainly something. I guess our two worlds might be a bit more different than I would have thought. I have no idea what a Celestial even is. Anything else?" He asked.

"Do your Universe's Devil's eat human souls routinely?" I asked. I was starting to wonder if he was from a Universe close to canon.

His eyes widened in shock! "What!? Of course not! D–do they do that here?" He asked with a bit of trepidation. 

Me and Azazel's collective grimaces were enough to answer that question. 

"Wow, your Universe is a lot more dangerous apparently. We're actually in the process of forming a peace treaty with the Devil's. I don't think we could do that if they still did that though…" Azazel Alter trailed off.

Azazel nodded. "Yeah, we're drafting a peace treaty with them as well. In reality, we're just building up our strength to the point where we can crush them! We're already allied with Heaven, thanks to Layla's existence here, but a battle between us all would still be too close for comfort at this time." 

Azazel Alter looked at me in surprise when my brother mentioned how we were allied with Heaven already.
