Chapter 147: Lucifer and Apollo
"Hey Noah!" Leon nodded to Noah, which made Noah respond with a wave back.
The man next to Leon, on the other hand, just looked at Noah while lifting his sunglasses to try to see better. The sight of the man drew more attention than anything in that place, making Noah even wonder whether that purple outfit attracted more attention than the car he had. Noah watched the man maintain a serious expression as he approached him, until the distance between the two was a few inches.
Seeing this strange man approaching made Noah prepare to use [Hell Tunneling] on any possible sign of attack. But fortunately that was not necessary, as the man nodded and smiled warmly as he spoke in a strange animated voice. "You must be Noah! Damn... you are exactly as I imagined you would be. Black hair, an emotionless expression, a slender body, and hands prepared at any time for a possible attack, matches very well with your god."
Noah didn't care about the comments the man made, his attention was totally on the aura the man was giving off. Noah never had any problems or fear when facing any Blessed up to Rank C, even when he was still Rank E. But against this man, Noah was definitely feeling pressured. It was like an invisible force was gradually sucking in some of the oxygen around him, making it difficult to breathe. But as far as Noah could see, the man was talking animatedly, perhaps not even consciously doing it, which made it all the more frightening.
'Damn... This pressure couldn't be coming from someone in Rank C... This man... is from Rank B? Why is there a Blessed Rank B in the city Eyrin?!?' Noah was surprised by what he found out.
The man, who was speaking at random, noticed Noah's expression change and showed a little surprise. "Forgive me, I was very excited and forgot to restrain myself." As soon as the man said that, the oppressive aura that Noah was feeling disappeared. "I need to concentrate a little to keep my aura under control. Who would have thought that finding a believer to my lord's great friend, in fact, would be such a happy occasion!" The man spoke in an animated voice again, almost letting the aura leak again.
"I'm sorry Noah, the priest is a little bit... eccentric, but inside he is a good person," Leon whispered in Noah's ear an explanation for what was going on.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut before Noah could answer, the priest, being a likely Rank B, obviously heard what he said and responded with the same excited tone and loud voice he had used previously. "We all are, Leon! Don't think I don't know about how much you like to show your muscles to the public!"
Leon, hearing that, was clearly ashamed.
"Okay, what's going on here?" Noah asked, still maintaining the emotionless tone of voice he always used to hide his own thoughts from people like him who read body language.
"Mwahaha! I'm loving it every second! You look like a reincarnation of your boy, boy!" The man said as he laughed as he watched Noah act, which made Noah a little alert.
'How does this man know so much about Lucifer...?' He thought as he waited for the strange man to finish speaking.
"As the god of music, Apollo loved to go out to have fun, and like the lord of hell, with complete control over sins, including lust, his lord was the best party partner anyone could have. Unfortunately, my lord Apollo always registered how much he hated the expression, as he used to say, that 'butt expression' that your master always kept on his face. Seeing you now in person is much better than just reading my master's reports hahaha!" The man said in a much louder way than Noah really felt comfortable. But strangely, no one at the surrounding tables was paying attention to them, or what was being said. In fact, it was as if they weren't even seeing the three of them sitting there, even though there was a figure as striking as this "priest".
Noah wanted to know the reason for all this. He felt that just a lot of information was being poured into him without any context, and that he needed time to process it all. But from how the man in front of him was acting excited as he spoke, it would take a while for him to have some time to breathe and think about everything he heard.
Fortunately, Leon came to the rescue. "Father, why don't you explain the story to him from the beginning? I bet he would love to know," he said as he looked at Noah and winked.
Noah quickly picked up the tip and said hurriedly. "Yes. Yes, I really want to know from the start. Why don't you tell me everything?" Noah realized that he would at least understand everything that was being said in a general context.
Hearing that Noah wanted to hear the story he had to tell, the man, even for a moment, forgot what he came here to do, leaving it for later as he started to explain:
---
Thousands of years ago, the God Apollo was very loved by humans, to the point of only having a few less faithful than Zeus, and of course, the Catholic God. The problem was that because of that, Apollo became arrogant. Being among the three most worshiped gods on the planet, over time this fame and power started to rise to his head.
During this time, in another pantheon, the Catholic God had banished Lucifer to hell, making him the lord of hell of the Catholic religion, which, as much as I dislike to admit, he was several times more powerful than Hades' Tartarus, since he controlled the afterlife itself and the redemption of the sins of almost all the dead, leaving only a small part for Hades.
As a form of punishment due to Apollo's arrogance, Zeus banished Apollo to spend a few tens of years in the underworld. But because of Apollo's arrogant and carefree personality, instead of going to the underworld of Hades, he decided to go for a walk in the underworld of Lucifer, since technically he would still be obeying his father's orders.
Apollo was a cheerful, lively man, and passionate about music, whereas Lucifer was a bitter, cold, calculating man. He always thought several times before doing something within his reach, much like you by the way.
These mismatched personalities were forced to live together after Apollo discovered that after he entered the underworld, he would be forced to stay there for at least 50 years.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe two gods who would have to be together for 50 years ended up after some time finding something in common: anger at and pain from their fathers. Apollo was hurt by Zeus, and Lucifer from Jehovah. Hence, commonalities began to emerge, which developed into a small friendship, which over the years they managed to discover more points in common, such as the carnal love they had for others. And with the presence of demons such as succubi, this made it even easier for both to satisfy that desire whenever it arose.
Over time, this friendship and closeness that they developed began to find new points in common that they had, and towards the end of the 50 years, the two became great friends.
Whenever there was a good party on Olympus, Lucifer was Apollo's guest of honor, and whenever there was a good party in hell, Lucifer especially invited Apollo to enjoy it with him.
The number of adventures that the two spent together is countless. If I were to tell you everything I read from my god's account, we would probably need to stay here for at least another 20 years.
It is very funny to me to see by happenstance that the first devotee of Lucifer that I meet, coincidentally, has the same personality as the God he follows. I can see you perfectly doing everything Lucifer did in the tales Apollo left for us." The man said with a nostalgic expression.
Finally what the man said earlier started to make sense to Noah. Apparently the priest had a great record of everything Apollo and Lucifer had done together while wandering around the world with one another. Which probably meant that the man had a high position in the church... which was not unimaginable given the strength that man had…
But the question Noah wanted to have answered most was something else… 'Why did such a unique man want to meet me so badly?' Noah wondered.
