Chapter 82: Portal.
''You will help us open it,'' Jack said with an innocent smile.
''H-How? I-I am only—'' Before Black Death could finish his words.
Jack continued, ''Only Calamity-Moon Villain? Doesn't matter— you have the ability of Death, that alone gives you the power to unlock the gates.''
Black Death went silent.
Underworld is Mythical existence, and then someone of Jack's caliber said that he can open it.
The Underworld's Gates was said to be impossible to be opened by mortal men.
Jack mysteriously smiled and closed his eyes, ''Sleep, tomorrow we will enter the Underworld.''
Black Death sweatdropped.
There is no way he can sleep!
The whole night, Black Death was sitting without making a noise.
He was too afraid to even breathe!
That's why he stopped breathing for the whole night.
The sky was getting brighter, and the area around the cloud became much brighter.
Lilith groggily opened her eyes and saw the adorable figure of Lust sleeping.
She bit her lip, 'One taste session wouldn't hurt.'
Lilith moved her rose-colored lips closer to Lust's and did a small peck on her lips.
Lust's eyelids started slowly opening— she then saw Lilith's beautiful sleeping figure.
'So close!' Lilith screamed in her mind— she acted like she was sleeping.
Lust blushed seeing her face so close, but then her eyes lingered on Lilith's soft-looking lips.
'One peck wouldn't hurt...' She thought sneakily and moved her head closer.
She did a small peck on Lilith's sleep and thought, 'Kyaa! So soft!'
Lilith opened her eyes with a slam.
Lust opened her eyes in shock and separated her lips.
''U-Umm...'' She couldn't finish her words because Lilith kissed her lips powerfully and started kissing with force.
''Mmm!''
They started kissing passionately and rolled around the cloud.
Black Death didn't dare to look at the scene even though it looked hot to see two extremely beautiful individuals kissing.
Jack opened his eyes and saw the scene, 'Eh?'
He shrugged and closed his eyes.
He really doesn't care if a person is lesbian or gay.
But it is frowned upon in this world.
Usually, if a person is found to be not straight, that person will be ostracized by everyone.
Lilith and Lust kept kissing for over 30 minutes, and they almost started removing their clothes.
Jack sighed and said, ''Enough you two, get a room.''
Lilith breathed roughly, ''A-Are we going to go find the Underworld now.''
Jack nodded and started controlling the cloud.
Lilith and Lust had disheveled clothes, and they had to fix their hair and make their clothes tidier.
After they were done, Lilith put Lust on her lap and hugged her waist tightly.
Lust blushed and kept sitting shyly.
*Ring*
Suddenly, Jack's phone ringed.
Everyone turned their gazes on him.
Jack took the phone and answered.
''Heyo!'' A cheerful voice came from the phone.
Jack raised an eyebrow, ''Who is this?''
''You already forgot me? I am hurt.'' The person acted like he was actually hurt.
''Answer my question,'' Jack said with a cold tone.
''You are not fun, Jacky.'' The voice said teasingly.
Jack's eyebrow twitched, 'Is that my nickname now?'
''It's me, Buddha!'' Buddha said cheerfully.
Jack looked surprised, ''How did you get my number?''
''Small details, anyway, I have heard interesting news.''
''Oh?''
''Apparently, you are trying to find Underworld?'' Buddha's words shocked Jack.
''How did you know that?''
''Small details, anyway, I know where it is.'' Again Buddha's words shocked Jack.
''Where?!'' Jack said impatiently.
''Hehe.'' Buddha chuckled on the phone, ''So impatient~''
Jack rolled his eyes, ''I don't have time for games.''
Buddha sighed, ''Fine, it is below the Black Castle in the Capital City of Hope— honestly, I thought it was the first place you would go to.''
''We planned to go there last,'' Jack said with frustration.
Buddha laughed, ''Well, good luck in your journey.''
After those words, the phone call disconnected.
Jack put the phone back in his pocket and changed the course towards Capital City Hope.
''You didn't say that you knew Buddha,'' Lilith said with a smile.
''You know him?'' Jack asked with a raised eyebrow.
Lilith nodded, ''I met him when I was still Saintess— he was one of the few who didn't lust after me.''
Jack nodded, and soon the cloud appeared above the Black Castle.
They left the cloud and landed on the balcony of a certain room.
Jack entered the room first, and it was currently empty.
''Lust, didn't you know that the Underworld gates were here?'' Lilith asked.
Lust shook her head, ''They didn't tell me much— usually, Lucifer only talked with Pride and Greed about his plans.''
Lilith nodded and grabbed her hand.
They entered the room while holding hands.
Black Death followed 10 meters behind them.
Jack entered the corridors of the massive castle and found soon stairs which leads to downstairs.
He kept descending the stairs until he found a corridor.
The corridor's walls were grey and black, and the air was very cold.
Cold enough to make Black Death and Lust tremble.
Lilith used her life energy to make Lust warmer but didn't do anything to Black Death.
Black Death didn't have the balls to complain.
It would be suicidal!
He still doesn't know what they do to him after he opens the gates.
Jack walked in the corridors while others followed behind him.
And soon... He reached the end of the corridor where one door was located, and one person was guarding it.
''Sloth...'' Lust said.
The man who was guarding the door opened his eyes groggily.
The man had light green hair with beautiful green eyes. His average-looking face wasn't anything special, but his facial features show him being extremely tired for some reason— his eyes especially looked like they could barely stay open.
He was Sin of Sloth.
''Lust... You aren't allowed to be here.'' Sloth said slowly, his voice told how tired he really was, ''Leave...''
Jack started walking towards the tired-looking man.
Sloth looked at Jack with a tired look.
''Who are you..?'' Sloth asked.
''Get the fuck out of my way, parasite.'' Jack moved his hand and slapped Sloth's cheek.
*SMACK*
Sloth flew through the wall and got buried deep in the wall.
His face was stinging in pain, but he felt comfortable while being buried in the wall, and soon he fell asleep.
*BAM*
Jack destroyed the door with his kick, and a dark room entered his vision.
The dark room had nothing... Except for a similar-looking portal in the middle of the room, similar with the portal on the Second Fortress.
But the portal screamed the word evil and cold.
''This is the gate?'' Jack asked.
Lilith nodded, ''This must be it.''
They entered the room and surrounded the portal.
''Blacky, your turn,'' Lilith said with a grin.
Black Death gulped and crouched next to the portal.
If he can't open it, he is dead.
If he can open it.
He is maybe dead.
Black Death surrounded the portal in his death energy, and even after 10 seconds, nothing happened.
Black Death was getting desperate... Until.
The portal sucked the death energy, and soon... The portal turned on.
It wasn't a violet-colored portal like in Second Fortress.
Now it was pitch black!
Everyone felt a menacing aura from the other side of the portal, and the dark room was instantly covered in ice.
The other side of the portal will be extremely cold! Cold enough to kill Disaster-Moon villain instantly!
Lust and Black Death was trembling, but Lilith quickly warmed Lust, but Black Death's body was getting frostbites.
Jack swiped his hand, and soon crimson-colored forcefield appeared around Black Death, which nullified the cold.
''T-Thanks...'' Black Death said with a trembling tone.
This means that Jack has no plans of killing him, but it also probably means that he has to go to Underworld with them.
Jack covered the room in a crimson forcefield that no one can try to destroy the portal while they are still there.
He is confident that no one can destroy it, but better be careful.
''You don't need to come,'' Lilith said towards Lust with worry.
Lust shook her head, ''I will come with you.''
Lilith smiled and kissed her lips.
Lust smiled and returned the kiss.
''D-Do I have to come?'' Black Death asked with a shaky tone.
Jack looked at him and grinned, ''Of course.''
''I-I don't think I will be any use.'' Black Death tried to think of an excuse.
''We don't know there is there more Gates. As far as I know, there are three different places in Underworld. The Asphodel Fields, The Elysian Fields, and Tartarus, who knows... Maybe all of them have their own gates.'' Jack said with an innocent smile.
Black Death slumped his shoulders— he looked defeated.
Underworld is a myth of terrifying things.
He doesn't want to go there!
Jack grabbed Black Death's shoulder and said, ''Women first.''
He threw Black Death straight towards the portal.
''AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!'' Black Death screamed in terror and was soon sucked by the portal.
''Women first?'' Lilith and Lust narrowed their eyes.
Jack innocently pointed towards the portal, like a gentleman.
Lilith and Lust rolled their eyes.
They started walking towards the portal while holding hands.
And once they were close enough, the black portal sucked them.
''KYAAAAAAA!'' Their shouts soon disappeared once their bodies disappeared.
Jack took his phone and looked at Ariane's picture one last time.
He touched the picture gently and put the phone back in his pocket.
''Underworld... Here I come!'' With those Jacks, he jumped towards the black portal and was soon sucked in.
The black portal stopped working, and the room's temperature became normal once again.
