The divine figure he had always shown to others was replaced with that of a frail old man, who possessed sunken eyes and discolored, blackened lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a shame…. We meet again, and only one of us looks better than we did last.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon’s wives arrived behind him one after the other and each of them was equally stunned by what they saw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesh coughed violently into his hand, leaving a black phlegm in the center of his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He shouldn’t be up yet. We’re moving him back into bed now.” Uriel pushed open the door and began trying to lead her father in by the arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll be fine…When did children get to be so worrisome?” Yesh laughed weakly. “I can manage a few minutes to see some near and dear faces.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bekka’s ear twitched suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked over her shoulder as she heard the sound of beating wings coming closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White-robed figures started appearing one after another. When the other archangels saw their father standing upright, they became visibly emotional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re awake!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They rushed right up to Yesh, but halted just before they actually reached him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man looked too fragile to hug. They were quite concerned that they might injure him with a mere embrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesh looked around and noticed that one of his children was not present. He seemed slightly disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you not summon Michael..? The boy will be quite distraught to know he has missed me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Awkward looks were shared amongst the group indiscriminately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesh listened to the silence for a moment before closing his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…I see. I appear to have missed quite a lot then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon believed that to be the understatement of the century.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>–\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The longer Yesh stayed up, the worse he looked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He started to break out into a sweat. His breathing seemed labored, and he began to have difficulty keeping his eyes open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesh didn’t have very long at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see… You all have been enduring quite the hardship because of my absence… I’ll shoulder all of the blame.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You cannot do that, father!” Uriel wept. “Whatever challenges we have faced are a result of our own shortcomings and can not be blamed on you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesh didn’t know if he was quite so sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought of Michael quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His senses were so dulled that he could not even tell what kind of condition his son was in. As a matter of fact, he couldn’t sense anything beyond this very room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trying to reset the universe had been the straw to break the camel’s back. Millions of years of rest had only given him 40 minutes’ worth of energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was running on fumes as of now. Meaning he had to say the important things now while he still had the chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Children… would you mind giving me a moment with the Judicator’s family?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The archangels made themselves scarce, though it wasn’t something they looked particularly thrilled about. Especially not Uriel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless, she shuffled outside with the rest of her siblings, looking back on the room with a forlorn expression as she left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they were all gone, Yesh slowly turned his head to the back of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The quiet goddess had been standing behind Seras trying to make herself as scarce as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come closer child. We have not been properly acquainted I believe…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Izanami wormed her way through the crowd of bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s nice to see a friendly face when I’ve only just woken from a long nap. Have you come here just to gawk at the dying old man?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Izanami didn’t say anything, but she reached out to take the hand of Abaddon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…I see.” Yesh turned towards Abaddon. “Still as busy as ever.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon couldn’t prove it, but he felt like Yesh had just called him a slut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry that I was unable to attend the wedding. I would’ve liked to offer you twelve my best wishes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We were quite aware of your sentiments, even if you were not with us. You were always in the back of my family’s minds.” Izanami bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hoho… please, don’t waste such ceremony on the likes of me. Especially when I am not fit enough to return the gesture.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesh coughed hard again as if to prove his point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop talking so much, you old man.” Abaddon passed Yesh a cloth to cover his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yesh accepted the gesture, he stared at Abaddon much more carefully than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…You seem to have grown again in the time I have taken my eyes off you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s the way life is, I’m afraid.” Abaddon shrugged nonchalantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesh seemed to find his words chuckle worthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Simply living would not give you the same smell as Caligo…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon raised his brow. “You say that name like I should know it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I would hope that you would… Since all of you now feel similar to her, and I can smell the traces of her, all across my realms… and yet, I can do nothing about it. She’s been busy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon and his wives felt their hearts drop all at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you talking about Chaos?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesh coughed again but held up his thumb in approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You two are on a first-name basis??” Tatiana was as shocked as anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it was Yesh’s turn to shrug nonchalantly. “Strange bedfellows as they say…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looked towards Asherah, who was just as baffled by the news as they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blame not my bride for her lack of knowledge. This was a secret I shared only with my eldest sons…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon was floored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wrestled with his desire to subject Yesh to an endless line of questioning while simultaneously not wanting to push him to say more than he was physically able.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can see the fight written over all of your faces… if you all have something you desire to know, I will tell it to you plain while I still have the time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lisa reached out to grab his hand. “None of us wants to waste precious time interrogating you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesh smiled up at her sweetly. He squeezed her hand with the little strength he could muster. “Gentle Lisa. Your family is lucky to have such a pillar of warmth to guide them at every turn. I know they are better for it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lisa could only smile in response. She did not feel particularly unappreciated in her life, but a little extra praise was always nice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesh turned his gaze towards the wooden ceiling and stared at it with a slightly forlorn gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he knew it, he was spilling all of his most closely guarded secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was my first time. The day I first met her…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bekka gasped audibly. “You mean you lost your virginity to-”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valerie put her wife in a headlock and covered her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please ignore our idiot. Her brain is not as big as her gorgeous butt.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeah laughed so hard that he placed himself in another coughing fit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beloved..” Asherah began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m fine, I promise…” Yesh waved away her concern. “This bit of laughter has made me feel slightly younger. I’m grateful for it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asherah pursed her lips underneath her veil, but didn’t say anything further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What I meant was she appeared to me when I was making my very first universe. Just after I had defeated Azathoth, but before I had created you, Abaddon from it’s remains.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesh looked at Abaddon for a long time expecting him to show some kind of reaction to that revelation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…You know?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve been busy since you’ve been resting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So I see. You’ll have to catch me up when we have more time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, a negative thought flashed in Abaddon’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if he never got more time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She appeared to me suddenly. I thought her another enemy to face, but she laughed at my assumption. That was the first time I ever felt truly inferior in the world. Her gaze told me everything I needed to know about her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was very big, and I was very small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was from her that I was offered the fragment that functions as the heart of my beloved. Apparently, it is her duty to bestow the crystal onto every Aeon at the moment of their birth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She explained its function. It’s purposes. And the necessity of its use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Order means nothing without Chaos’ she said. Tragedy, violence, and horror were her tools and she instructed me on how to wield them. Or should I say that she told me how not to?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaos is best uncontrolled. Running free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crystal has its own low level of sentience. Chaos wanted me to let it go so that it could spawn horrors and massacres with impunity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesh suddenly turned to the room and smiled. “I caught her by surprise though. She was so confused it was amusing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…And how exactly did you do that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesh smiled even wider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I asked her if it would be possible to make a partner with it instead. And do you know what she said to me, as her brow quivered with non-understanding? That I was just like her stupid brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m super late I know I’m sorry. stuff just kept popping up and getting in the way and I really couldn’t just hunker down and get this finished until right now.\u003C\u002Fp>",1632,"2026-06-03T10:37:18.395Z","2026-06-03T10:37:21.434Z",1,"novelbin.me","cf40b881fe1ccb08db53b18c3830e082a8f5740e1ae7949768ab39b6e30f41c7","first-demonic-dragon-chapter-1122","first-demonic-dragon-chapter-1120",1284,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffirst-demonic-dragon-cover.jpg"]
