GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?



They should be harassing the Reaper right now and making demands not wasting time by standing around doing nothing. It seems they were waiting for her to do the honors. She appreciates the consideration but she has a meeting that she wants to get to soon.

"I guess I'll be the one to...." Her words caught in her throat.

She caught sight of the core of the plane. All three jaws of her three heads opened and slackened in shock. Then she turned around and ran. She tried to run back into the closing whirlpool. She slammed ineffectively into it. It rebuffed her attempt to force her way through. It is like she hit a sturdy wall. 

She didn't give up though. She continued to try until the whirlpool shut down and disappeared completely into the sky. Her hope of escaping back the way she came died out. That hope was little to begin with but it was something. Now it is gone.

Despair was about to set in but she rejected it resolutely. "I have to inform the demon god that there is an abomination here." She said to herself. "Everyone must know that there is an abomination here. Everyone must know."

Then she rushed towards the edge of the plane. She rushed upwards and soon met an invisible barrier. The barrier is elastic and capable of nullifying physical force. So she was thrown back by the rebound force. 

She rushed up again and clawed at the barrier. Her sharp claws tore at the barrier but it couldn't get a purchase. There was no friction or resistance from the barrier so there was no damage to the barrier either. It is like she is cutting an infinitely regenerating slime.

She gave up on wasting her effort quickly. She knows that pure physical attacks won't work on the barrier. Her attack was done purely out of frustration. So she got serious and attacked the barrier with all her power. Blue fire came out of one head, green fire came out of the second head, and red fire came out of the last head. The three fires combined to form a torrent of violet flame. The violet flames struck the barrier and actually damaged it.

This flame is special. The blue fire is a special flame that deals extra damage to magical or energy-based beings. The green fire is specifically for spiritual beings while the red fire is hellfire. Hellfire destroys physical beings or objects and it won't go out until it has nothing else to burn. The fusion of the three flames creates a fire that can burn all things, theoretically. 

The violet flame is a special sin ability of hers. It is capable of damaging a barrier made out of spiritual, energy, and physical forces like the barrier around a plane. So the barrier got damaged immediately. It became black as if it scorched. She expected the blackened area to spread before a hole is torn in the barrier but that didn't happen. The spot she hit remained black and didn't spread no matter how much fire she poured onto it. 

She stopped using her flames after a full minute to examine her progress. The black spot also receded and the barrier became transparent again. All she can see is a world of fire and volcanoes behind it That is the reflection of the plane. There is nothing out there. But she desperately wants to get past this barrier into the nothingness. 

"I have to tell the demon god." She said again with resolution.

Then she resumed her attack. But it is all futile. Chaos energy seeped from the barrier and coated it black. Then the chaos energy resisted her attacks. Nothing she can throw against it can bypass the barrier. But she keeps telling herself that she needs to inform the demon god. She needs to get out to inform the demon god of the abomination she found. And she needs to do it physically because she can't use any communication methods once she entered this plane. 

The plane of a demon king is their dominion. She can't communicate with the outside world and she can't access her personal space within this plane. She is for all intent and purpose under the Dominion of the Reaper. He might as well be a god in this place. He would have been a false god had she been stronger. Unfortunately, she isn't, so she will be dealt with according to the whims of the Reaper. That is not something she is looking forward to.

She was attacking the barrier when she suddenly shifted. Space seemed to fold and warp around her. Her world sort of flipped. Then she found herself back with the group she came in with. She turned to run again but she wasn't moving despite her best attempts at reaching the barrier again. 

Space was shrinking and stretching around her to make her efforts futile. She finally gave up when it sank into the thick skulls of her three heads that there is no way to leave and there is no use trying to. She is well and truly fucked.

"No. I can't die here to an abomination."

She shouted towards the smirking figure on the throne made of a demon king. "CARNAGE will try to look for me. My death won't go unnoticed for long. I will be avenged and you will be destroyed." 

What she said is mostly true. She really has connections with a demon god. CARNAGE can be level-headed sometimes. One can have a nice conversation with it during those times when the demon god decides to resort to other avenues apart from violence. They will find that CARNAGE is a very shrewd businessman. It likes to make deals.

That's how the hellhound demon king got to know it. They became close after their deal and she is supposed to attend a meeting that CARNAGE will hold in a few hours. So the demon god will certainly notice that she is not around. The demon god won't care much since they are not so close but it will certainly ask around for her whereabouts.
