Sheon found himself in a small plain white room; it was the baby's mana world. Since he hadn't developed any kind of consciousness, it was blank.
Above him was a dark sky and the purple eyes serving as a moon in the blank world. Sheon gulped down as he muttered to himself.
'I'm Sheon, the king of the abyss. I have created my principles of magic and I defeated Azrael and his Generals...well technically, but in the end, here I am, sealed inside a child.
How pitiful, how much have I fallen? But this kid... possessed the eyes of a celestial god, how come? A mere human, with the celestial eyes? The last I remember, it was the eyes of
Lumia, one of the fallen angels. She had lost the 'Celestial Eyes' when she was cast into hell.
I wasn't able to experience the power it holds, but, I know from the war of heaven and hell that it could control souls, even the souls of devils to an extent.
It was rumored to have been destroyed and lost for eternity, but all along, it was here, in the human world, and with this... CHILD.
'Who could have guessed that it also had it's own consciousness, it must have developed it since coming to earth, it's a major divine power, so at least it should be able to do that.'
'Sigh... this changes things. I thought I could possess a good host but now I'll have to change hosts, because if the kid dies without releasing me I'd cease to exist. I'm not being held here by Azrael, it's by the celestial eyes and the only way to escape is if the kid releases me or let's me possess him.
Ahh, that means I'll have to create a scenario where he would have no choice but to give up his body for me, then it'll be the perfect chance to escape and posses another host.'
'Hahaha! I shall make his world mine, I'll turn everything against him. I will manipulate the humans using their greed. I heard they're a bunch of .' Sheon laughs in a villain-like manner...the suddenly stops.
'Sigh... this is just great, being sealed together with the celestial eyes.' Sheon sighs
"I hope my plan gets to work out soon enough... Hm?.' Sheon hums in question as he notices the people entering the world..
"Hehe, well hello," He said "My dear host. his smile started to grow wider as he stared at the people who came to visit.
....
Three sets of car parked properly in the hospital garage.
~Thud~
The car door shuts as Charles descends first he hurriedly goes to open the door for Mr. Darkling. In the same manner, the other drivers opened the door for his children in their own cars.
In one of the car were the twins Riley and Raphael. Riley jumps down in excitement while Raphael lazily walks out of the car, with a lollipop in his mouth. They were both in cooperate attires. Riley walks up to her dad while and Raphael – intertwining his fingers, puts his hands at his neck to support his head as he followed behind Riley, they both stood before him.
On the other car was Olivia, she descended the car and walked up to her dad. Mr. Darkling looked at them for a moment, then turned around and entered the hospital, followed by Olivia and then the twins. The other escorts including Charles stayed behind.
Mr. Darkling led the way, already aware of what ward his wife was staying at. As he navigated through the hallway of the hospital, all nurses, patients or visitors who saw him made way for him to pass. No one dared to look him in the eyes as they all bowed their heads, showing utmost respect.
....
"She's pretty," One of the nurses said after admiring the blonde woman who was sleeping. "but her son is the cutest thing I have ever seen." She added.
~Clack~
A nurse rushed into the ward.
"Ladies, exit the ward, the Darkling's are here." She said and without hesitation, the nurses dropped everything they were doing and exited the ward leaving the baby in his cot.
Mr. Darkling entered the ward and walked to his wife. Following behind was Olivia, Riley and Raphael they all stood at each sides of the door, Olivia on the left and the twins on the right.
Mr. Darkling checks on his wife, he examined her pulse, temperature and her magic to see if she was doing fine. Seeing that she was completely ok, he heaved a sigh of relief.
His children weren't surprised because they know how much he loves their mother and has heard stories of how he panicks whenever she's in labour. He is cold-hearted yet his weakness is his beloved wife, but that simple weakness isn't so weak.
Darkling then walks to the baby's cot and looks at the baby, he wasn't sleeping, he was sucking on his fingers.
Mr. Darkling carefully carries him, examines him enough to notice his purple eyes and blonde hair. Although his expression didn't change, you could tell that he was a little displeased.
Carrying the baby, he went and stood before his sleeping wife then he lifts the child up. His eyes glowed red as he became able to see the child's mana. A very feint and strange mixture of gold and black mana exuded from the baby's body
He had never seen such a color of mana, nor had he seen an aura of such small quantity. Even plants had a larger aura compared to what he was seeing.
He was surprised at such a small amount of mana; thinking that maybe it's because the child's energy gate hasn't been widened. He then placed his palm on the boy's abdomen and sent some of his mana into the child to widen his energy gate. It was very dangerous for just anyone to do, for this you must have absolute control over mana or you'll end up hurting the child.
Surprisingly, it was as if the baby sucked the mana he was pouring into him, "How much more can you take?" He whispered as he kept pouring more mana into the kid.
When he felt that it was going to be too much for the child, he stopped, only to notice that the mana was the same quantity as it was earlier.
This child although disappointed him, also has caught his attention. He immediately thought that his mana was stored in one part of his body, other than the usual core. How potential will only be noticed when he grows up.
~Clears throat~ Clearing his throat he turned to the kids, raising his child before them.
"I name him Henry according to your mother's wishes. Welcome your baby brother, Henry." His deep voice announced.
His siblings bow to their baby brother, "Welcome Henry." They all chorused.
"Henry here unfortunately, has no mana. I shall take him in but until he's able to show prowess in mana, enough to impress me, he shall not inherit the Darkling name." He said coldly.
The children were surprised at what their father said, but for some reason, Olivia smiled. 'So he's a lucky one. I'm kind of jealous.' Olivia thought to herself.
'Geez why is dad so mean? Look at my cute little brother, how sad.' Riley thought while giggling inwardly.
'Sigh... at least I won't have to take care of a him although he looks calm, and I was kinda hoping that I would get to spend time with a little brother. Well, the old man already said it, no one can do anything about it now.' Raphael shrugs.
Mr. Darkling drops the baby back to his cot and turns to leave, a voice echoed in their head
"How dare you turn your back on me" accompanying the voice was a sudden pressure on everyone in the room except the sleeping woman. Doors and windows immediately closed, the bulbs all exploded leaving the one in the middle blinking.
Mr. Darkling was surprised, he at first thought it was an attack, but even the strongest person didn't have this kind of aura. It was something he had never felt.
"Aargh!"
"Ugh"
The children screamed. It was strong enough to get Riley and Raphael to their kneels.
But the force was much more on Mr. Darkling. Olivia was struggling to keep to her feet.
'What is this presence?' he thought as he turned back. As he turns, the force increased on where he was standing and the concrete beneath him cracked. Luckily they were on the ground floor, if not it would have been disastrous.
Olivia reached her limits and fell on her knee, her siblings were already lying down flat on the floor, coughing roughly, struggling to breathe as the air became thick with heavy foul smell.
Upon turning , Mr. Darkling saw Henry, his son, floating mid air. He was covered in golden black aura and his eyes were glowing red.
"How dare you humans turn your back on me!"
