578: Envious

Envious

"What do you want, Levi?"

Theodore didn't want to cause any harm to Lilith's property so instead of fighting, he coldly said, "We all have to take care of the pressing matter. If you don't mind then can you uncoil your stinky and slimy tail off of my body? It's disgusting."

However, Prince Leviathan disregarded the polite threat and picked Theodore up with his tail instead. And he turned Theodore to make him face his way.

Leviathan gave a crooked smile to Theodore and excitedly said, "Long time no see, Asmodeus. What's the hurry? We haven't met in ages. Let's sit down and talk for a bit. We have so much to catch up on."

Theodore heaved a deep sigh in frustration and gave a cold glare to Leviathan.

And he replied in a satirical manner, "Did the maggots devour your mind, Levi? It hasn't been that long since we last met. And yet you forgot my name?"

Leviathan dramatically closed his eyes and scratched his head. And as if some light sparked in his memory, he opened his eyes and exclaimed, "Ah! Right, right. My bad. Thesmodeus, is it? Yes… it is. No, wait! Is it Asmodeore?"

Theodore started kicking that serpentine tail and scolded Leviathan furiously, "You seriously need to get your brain checked, you ancient serpent. I was right! The maggots did eat all your brain matter."

Prince Satan knew what was about to go down so he instantly got up and bowed to Lucifer with the intention to leave.

He then glanced at Prince Belphegor, who was dozing off even in the middle of that hot argument. He glanced back at Lucifer and said, "We will also get going, Your Majesty."

Satan slapped on Belphegor's shoulder and whispered to that startled demon, "Come, you sleepyhead. Let's get going before we get caught up."

However, before the two of them could leave the room, Leviathan extended his tail and wrapped Satan as well as Belphegor.

"What's the hurry? I want to catch up with everyone." Leviathan glanced at the King and said, "We won't get to gather this often so I hope you won't mind a few minutes.

Lucifer ran his fingers through his silver hair and said in an intimidating tone, "One minute."

Satan and Belphegor gave a pleading glance to Lucifer. Their eyes were asking why Lucifer would even allow one minute time to that serpent.

Leviathan walked closer to Theodore and slithered out his forked tongue. And then he spoke with a capricious smile on his face, "Mmm… You don't stink like me. I smell scented perfumes from you… women's perfume."

Theodore instantly snapped in an irritated voice, "Can we talk lat–"

But Leviathan tightened his grip on Theodore. The smile on his face vanished in a poof and it was replaced by a jealous glare instead.

And he mumbled in a longing voice, "You've been quite busy huh. Getting married… having a child… Life must be good on Earth. Isn't it so, Obidore?"

"At least get my name right, you smelly serpent!" Theodore started kicking Leviathan's tail again and cursed him, "And what about me getting married and having a lovely daughter? Why don't you do the same instead of getting envious of my life?"

Leviathan's red eyes tried to pierce through Theodore's skin and his voice demanded fairness when he further shouted, "You are one lucky bastard unlike the rest of us. God has graced you with life on Earth unlike the rest of us who are bound to Hell."

Belphegor sneezed on Leviathan's tail and pitched in from behind, "There are a lot of beautiful demonesses here in Hell. Just saying."

Satan cleared his throat and he also chimed in, "Or you can woo Lilith and marry her. She already has a son. So you don't have to wait years to have a child."

Spark! Slash!

The three Princes who were wrapped by Leviathan's tail suddenly fell to the floor along with Leviathan's severed tail.

"Arghhhhhhhh…" Leviathan's screams filled the meeting room.

Lucifer nonchalantly retracted his wings and said, "Your one minute is up."

"You didn't have to severe my tail!" Leviathan whined while looking at his gorgeous tail.

Lucifer looked away from Leviathan and casually said, "Don't be a baby, Levi. It will regrow."

"But it will take time to grow this beautiful tail. Besides, I just wanted to talk. Is it a crime to want to talk?" Leviathan rested his head on his tail and started making a scene.

Lucifer looked so done with Leviathan's drama. He would have severed another tail of Leviathan if he had any left.

As he could not cut anything else, Lucifer roared, "You are wasting all of our time, Levi. You all can gather at Theodore's gambling house someday and talk as much as you want."

Lucifer sat back on his chair with a thud and ordered the remaining Princes, "For now, all of you are dismissed."

Theodore didn't want to waste any more of his precious time by listening to Leviathan's whining. So he immediately teleported back to Earth the moment he got the order from his brother.

Satan and Belphegor were also going to do the same but Leviathan jumped and grabbed both of them by their legs. And he started to cry, "Wait! Don't leave me alone. I am so lonely. Find a wife for me, my brothers. I will be forever indebted to you. I want to live a happy life like Theodore's. Please."

"Get your slimy hands off of me!" Belphegor shouted at Leviathan and jumped away.

While Satan gave a 'Can I kill him?' look to Lucifer.

Lucifer narrowed his eyes at Leviathan and asked Satan, "Can you punch him on my behalf?"

"Gladly." Satan jumped at that request and gave a solid punch on that whiny demon's head.

"Ack!" Leviathan's head literally hit the floor and a chunk of the floor got ruined.

Lucifer then scolded Leviathan in a stern voice, "Why are you so envious of Theodore? You are being unnecessary whiny today. Did you eat something funky? Perhaps a little too many souls?"

Leviathan massaged his head and said in a whimper, "Well, I can't control my envy because I AM THE ENVY. This is the way I am."

Lucifer gestured for Satan and Belphegor to go back to their parts of the land.

And once they left, Lucifer folded his arms and tried to slap some sense into Leviathan's mind, "Listen here, you shithead. You devour the damned souls that died because of their insurmountable envy. YOU ARE NOT THE ENVY. Know the difference, dammit."

Leviathan was still rubbing his head as he glanced at Lucifer.

Lucifer furrowed his brows and asked, "Can you try and act more like your age? Do you remember what you are? Or did you lose your mind by eating too many damned souls?"

Leviathan finally got up on his feet and said, "You are right, Your Majesty. I've been so lonely that I had started to forget the difference between my purpose and me. You are right. I recall what I am now."

He put a smile on his face and said stupidly, "I am a soul-devouring Leviathan."

Lucifer gave a mocking smile and replied, "Good for you, you ancient serpent. Now before you forget, go and search for the boy who matches the description that I gave you earlier."
