Witch's Daughter And The Devil's Son Chapter 747: Heavens In Uproar

Chapter 747: Heavens In Uproar

In the Heaven realm.

Isis was sitting in the chair while watching her favourite angel being punished.

"F-Forgive me, my sovereign…" Petra's cries echoed in the closed chamber as she endured punishment from another angel under Isis' command. A s.h.i.+ning, powerful whip laced with divine power, capable of harming even a powerful angel, struck her back, staining her pristine white dress with blood.

"I had tried to forgive you even if you failed to bring back that child Petra, but do you know why I am punis.h.i.+ng you now?" Isis's angry voice echoed in the chamber.

"I...Do not know, my Sovereign..." Petra's voice was painful.

"The Curse, those curse I had casted on that purple eyed child, that have been broken. She managed to break them," Isis gritted her teeth as she spoke, "That means she found true love. Do you know the meaning of it, Petra?"

"I...I know, my Sovereign...Ahh..." Another whip lashed on her.

Your journey continues on m-vle-mpyr

"That child found a true love, that means she would be able to use the h.e.l.lfire. Once she takes control over it, she will become the most powerful being. I will never be able to retrieve that h.e.l.lfire from her." Isis' angry voice echoed in the chamber. "I need to kill that child or the one she loves," her hands gripped the hand rests, "Or even better they both die together.

But how I am going to do it Petra, tell me how, when my most trusted powerful angels are nothing but useless."

Petra sobbed, "Apologies, my Sovereign...Ahh..."

"I trusted you, Petra. I tried not to punish you, but…" Isis' eyes blazed with anger, "...your foolishness, your failure is bringing trouble upon us. Grianor will learn everything and question me. My husband, who has always trusted me, might doubt me for the first time. Do you understand what your failure has cost me, Petra? Capturing that purple-eyed girl and bringing her to me was it that difficult?

I would have killed her and retrieved that h.e.l.lfire. I would have ruled all three realms."

"I... understand... my Sovereign. Please, punish me," Petra sobbed. "When the Supreme Lord questions you, my Sovereign, hold me responsible. I will accept any punishment you deem fit."

Isis inhaled deeply and closed her eyes, attempting to calm her rage. "That is what you have to pay for your failure, but that won't solve anything. I have to tell him the truth."

"My Sovereign, you cannot—"

"The truth that benefits me," Isis interrupted, her eyes gleaming with a wicked plan. "It's time to get even. I will ensure Grianor eliminates them all at once. He, the King of Heaven, is the only one who can act across all three realms."

The angel was about to strike Petra again, but Isis raised her hand to stop her. The angel bowed and stepped aside.

"Petra, I am giving you another opportunity to redeem yourself," Isis declared.

"Y-Yes, my Sovereign. This time, I will not fail you," Petra replied, her head hung low.

"Take her away," Isis instructed the other angel.

"Yes, my Sovereign."

An angel escorted Petra away as another angel entered the punishment chamber of the Deity of Desires. "Supreme Lady, the messenger has arrived from the Grand Hall. You have been summoned by the Supreme Lord."

As expected, her husband, the King of Heaven, had summoned her. Isis was ready to face him with her own plan in mind.

Soon, she arrived at the Grand Hall of the Supreme Lord. A man with long silver hair, who was emitting the heavenly divinity, sat on a throne made of white crystals. Grianor, the King of Heavens and the Lord of Light.

As Isis entered the grand hall, she saw that not only the King but also other deities were present. Everyone had sensed the awakening of the Deity of Fire and were aware that the h.e.l.lfire was missing from its place. There was uproar among the Deities, and they sought answers from the King.

As she walked forward, all the deities seated on either side of the aisle stood up and bowed to her, the Queen of Heavens.

She gracefully continued and bowed to her husband. "Deity of Desires, G.o.ddess Isis, greets the Sovereign of all three realms and all the deities present here."

Though she was Grianor's wife, in the grand hall where the King ruled and handled matters related to all three realms, she was nothing more than one of his subjects, rather than his wife or the Queen of Heavens.

Grianor looked at her and offered a light nod, and she walked to the side to sit on her chair. Her throne was placed on the King's right side, but it was a few steps below his, signifying his supreme power and the fact that no one was his equal in this throne hall.

"You may begin." A dignified voice of the King echoed in the throne hall.

Solon, who held the responsibility of presenting the matters to be discussed, stood up from his place, bowed to the King, and then turned to face all the deities.

"The Supreme Lord is aware that all of you, like us, have been concerned. You all have sensed the awakening of the Deity of Fire, and the h.e.l.lfire is missing from its place. However, I a.s.sure you that today we will get to the bottom of this matter, as our capable angels have already investigated it thoroughly."

The deities nodded, while Isis remained calm and composed.

Solon turned to Isis. "Deity of Desire, we have come to know that at the moment the Deity of Fire was awakened, the angels serving you were present in the human realm. They bear wounds said to be caused by the h.e.l.lfire, the very element the heavens are striving to suppress. Would you like to enlighten us on this matter? Were you aware that the h.e.l.lfire was missing, and do you know who stole it?"

Isis gracefully stood from her place and turned to the King. "Supreme Lord, today I wish to reveal everything I know, including why angels working for me were in the mortal realm."

Grianor gave her a light nod, permitting her to speak.

"I have known for some time that the h.e.l.lfire was missing, and I also know who stole it," Isis began. "It was taken by none other than Sierra, the one who was once the Deity of Earth," she turned to the King, "The one whom the Supreme Lord considered his dear sister and showed mercy by sparing her life despite her grave crimes."

There was a shocked uproar among the G.o.ds.

"Did the Deity of Earth do it?"

"She is no longer a deity. She was banished from the heavens and stripped of her powers."

"How could she do it? Was she still powerful enough to steal the h.e.l.lfire?"

The King, as dignified as he was, maintained his composure despite his surprise. "If you had known this, why did you not inform me?" His voice was cold and firm.

"I wished to inform you, Supreme Lord, but you were in seclusion, recovering from your encounter with the h.e.l.lfire. I did not wish to disturb you. The reason I did not inform the other deities is that I feared it would cause uproar among them, as we are seeing now. As the Queen of Heavens, it is my sole responsibility to take care of this realm in the absence of the Supreme Lord.

You have returned recently, and I intended to tell you, but before I could, something happened that has now made everyone aware. I believed I could retrieve the h.e.l.lfire and bring it back…"

"How were you planning to bring it back?" Grianor questioned. "No one can control h.e.l.lfire. Also, how did Sierra manage to take it away? Where did she get such power?"

"To answer this, I must explain what happened since the day Sierra stole the h.e.l.lfire," Isis said.

"Proceed," the King ordered, ready to hear everything that had happened in his absence.

Isis nodded and turned to face the other G.o.ds. "I must warn you that what I am about to reveal may shock everyone present. But with the Supreme Lord's return, I a.s.sure you there is nothing to fear."

"Please, enlighten us on what happened, Supreme Lady," one of the G.o.ds spoke, and the others nodded, ready to hear.
