SKYDEVIL LINGER

Lino’s eyebrows twitched as he stared at the newcomer in his room who was sitting next to his bed, with one leg heaved over the other, calmly sipping a cup of tea with a faint smile on his handsome face . Perhaps the most irritating part of it all for Lino was the fact that the man before him was truly handsome; though a bit pale in skin tone, it hardly affected the fact that he could walk into a room full of noble ladies and have them all swoon over him .

Lino had no clue as to how the Skydevil managed to enter this room as he was fairly certain the entire compound was blocked by numerous fortifications . Yet, there he was, casually drinking tea like it’s his own home . He’s been doing so for nearly ten minutes without uttering a word .

" . . . how’s tea?" Lino asked, tired of the silence .

"Hmm, quite good," the Devil replied, taking in a deep breath of rather intoxicating fragrance . "It’s my own mix, actually . Six flowers of [Ice-blazing Lotus], a root of [Heavenly Jasmine], and a few other secret ingredients . I’ll tell you the rest if you tell me you love me . "

"Suck my dick . "

"Eh, it can be---"

"What are you here for?" Lino realized that the Devil was a bit of an oddball so he decided to cut the long story short immediately .

"Tsk, no fun . " Linger clicked his tongue sweetly before putting down the cup of tea and facing Lino . "Your progress is much slower than we anticipated . " FUCK YOUR-- Lino shook for a moment and took in a deep breath . "Don’t get me wrong," as though realizing Lino’s state of mind, Linger quickly added . "It’s unprecedented . But, it’s still too slow to keep up with our plans . Initial idea was for you to take a beating over in the Umbra Kingdom as to mask your Qi, but then take the stage here as a star and grab us by our balls and squeeze us dry . From the looks of it, we’d be lucky if you could survive . "

"Eh, sorry . I really do apologize . " Lino said . "Now if you would kindly fuck off back to your mother’s womb so I don’t have to look at you anymore . "

"Hehe, that’s not how Devils are born, though," Linger merely laughed . "Though female Devils do have wombs, babies come out of there only when they’re impregnated by humans . "

": . . "

"It happens more often than you’d think . "

"I’m honestly just . . . just not interested in sex stories between humans and devils . Rather, I’m more interested in the shape of Dragon’s shit . "

"Dragons don’t--"

"Please . . . just . . . please . . . tell me why you’re here . " Lino was on the verge of tears; he finally understood how Eggor feels whenever he talks with him . Poor old bastard . . . I should cut him some slack once he comes back . . .

"To be honest, you shouldn’t be biding by our expectations, as it should be other way around," Linger said, his tone suddenly turning serious . "You can hardly be expected to understand the world’s situation at large and what you actually mean to the conflict . "

"What do I mean to it?" Lino asked .

"Nothing . " Linger said, suddenly smiling faintly .

" . . . "

"Ha ha, did I hurt your fragile little ego? Eh, that’s the way you’re supposed to be . I’m sorry to demolish your imagination, but a single man cannot change the course of the world . . . even if they’re an Empyrean . Do you think no one else before you flew higher than the rest of us?" Linger’s lips curled up in a wider smile . "War of Writs had been ongoing since early days of Skyhaven Dynasty, Lyonel . In that Era alone, two figures who nearly changed the course of the history were born . "

" . . . was Q’vil one of them?" Lino asked, somewhat expectant .

"Q’vil?" Linger looked at him strangely for a moment before shaking his head . "He was the last Empyrean of the Era . Even if talented, he simply didn’t have time to grow . To be honest, there’s a Devil within thousand miles of you that could have crippled Q’vil with a single hand . " Lino’s heart shook for a moment but he decided to simply listen . "We’re already aware of our little miss throwing some bombs at you," he continued . "Which is why I was dispatched here . Nobody’s expecting you to change the world," Linger said . "Because you can’t . Even if nobody tried to kill you, even if you were given every resource in the world freely, you would still need a few million years just to become as strong as some of my Ancestors . Not my Origin Father, just a few of my Ancestors . "

" . . . " Lino remained silent yet again; he truly did imagine for a moment being the chosen one, the person who would change the course of the world with his own two hands .

"If I’m to be even more brutal," Linger continued . "We don’t even need you, but the Writ itself . You could have been anyone else and it would have been all the same to us . Why am I telling you this? So you don’t get dumb ideas and rush like an idiot into the fray like you did this time . We need you alive, not strong . "

" . . . " Lino’s eyes flashed in understanding for a moment as he looked into Linger’s eyes . "So, at the end of the day, I’m really just a puppet?"

"Is it humiliating?" Linger asked, smiling faintly .

"Not really," Lino shook his head . "It would be if I cared what any one of you cocksuckers thought . "

"Oh?" Linger arched his brow as he looked at Lino curiously .

"Heh, why do you think I’m cultivating for? To fight Gaia? To help you lot? Of course not," Lino shook his head . "To be honest, I’d be the happiest person in the world if you all fuckers just dropped dead this very instant . What do wars of idiots who have nothing better to do than measure their dicks have with me? All I ever wanted was to live a simple life . . . " Lino sighed faintly as he got up from the bed and walked over toward the window, opening it slowly . "Yet, with two years that I’d gotten this shitter inside of me, I’d experienced sorts of pain and understood sorts of things I couldn’t even imagine before . "

Lino looked outside the window toward the lofty, blue sky marred with petty, silver clouds . It looked like it was about to rain any moment now . He was truly free at heart . He wasn’t putting up any sort of a front; he really didn’t care about the ’grand mission’ that some old fart imposed upon him .

"But . . . I’m sure that if I keep growing and survive till the point I’m strong enough," he turned around and looked Linger into the latter’s clear eyes . "I’d have no choice but do your bidding . It’s not humiliating . . . but it is frustrating . . . " Lino smiled bitterly . "Isn’t it? Even as a cultivator, you are rarely in charge of your own fate . Look at you . Are you resigned to sitting there, bickering with a kid you could kill with your fart and are most-likely told to listen without complaint? Though you are a sissy, I doubt you’re that much of a pushover . "

" . . . " Linger said nothing but merely smiled oddly .

"And I very much doubt your entire race is resigned to sacrificing their brothers and sister to be a grindstone for some random kid they couldn’t give two shits about," Lino continued calmly . "Big picture? Grand ambition? Heh, ask a mother next door who lost her son what sort of a shit that is and you’ll get the truth behind it all . Do you believe your Origin Father is truly doing this to simply battle Gaia out of goodness of his heart? Surely not . "

" . . . be careful, kiddo . " Linger’s smile grew slightly fiercer . "A lot of things can be forgiven, but you’re close to crossing the line . "

" . . . " Lino turned toward him yet again and smiled faintly . "There it is . The truth behind it all, no?" he chuckled weakly . "I’ve no imposing and lofty ambition . " he tucked his hands neatly into his pockets as he stared at the sky which began spitting out rain slowly . "To me, Gaia is better than all you lot . While you bicker and fight, causing millions upon millions to die, she forged the world as it is and granted us all a breath of life . Perhaps she’d done horrible things to you lot, but what’s that got to do with the rest of us? To us, she’s been a proper mother all the while . "

"Mother, eh?" Linger chuckled as he also got up and walked over next to Lino, looking at the rain . "Surely you don’t think you’re the first Empyrean to think so, no? After all, you seem quite witty . Yet . . . without a single exception since the dawn of time . . . every Empyrean chose to defy her . You don’t know her yet, Lyonel . If she’s a mother, she’s the sort that changes an innocent kid into a genocidal maniac . You don’t have to take my words to mean anything . . . but, trust me when I say this, sooner or later, you’ll be the same . Just as all your brothers and sisters before you, you’ll turn toward the sky and scream . You’ll curse her till you’re out of breath . Indeed," he slanted his head sideways and looked at Lino’s clear face . "We are no saints . Devils have done things that can hardly be called humane, as have humans . One way or another, we’re all sinners . Yet . . . all the same . . . we’re all more fit to be called Saints than her . Every single one of us . "

"It’s fine to be witty," Linger continued as he turned around and began walking away . "And to have your own outlook on things . But, if ten thousand out of ten thousand agreed on something, can you truly claim to be wittier than them? With all my heart . . . I truly hope that you remain steadfast in your belief till your grave . That would mean she never scarred you too . Farewell Lyonel . We’ll meet again . "

Lino was left alone in the room as he stared at the fading shadow of the Devil . Though he didn’t truly believe Gaia was a saint, he after all didn’t really hear or see any of the supposed evil things she committed, yet Umbra Kingdom alone was enough evidence to condemn the entire Devil Race .

"Is he right?" Lino asked nobody .

" . . . " yet, Writ didn’t reply . It only meant a few things; either he was so bored out of his mind he couldn’t be bothered, or that the truth is something Lino wasn’t emotionally or mentally equipped to handle . He took a deep breath and turned his gaze toward the sky yet again; the rain was pouring ceaselessly right now, battering against the soil . Only time will tell, eh?
