Sex and acts of bodily harm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great group of believers you have here, Abaddon...\" Discordia said in an unfriendly tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon's eyes became unkind and he disappeared from his throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used one of his massive hands and lifted up the goddess of strife by her head like palming a basketball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gah! L-Let me go, you brute! You think because you look fucking good you can do whatever you wan- Mmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon finally covered the goddess' mouth, but that did not stop her from raining down punches and kicks upon his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm aware that my people are not perfect, but they are still my people. You would do well not to belittle them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon's tone was calm and there was even a friendly smile on his face, but the sparks of flame that were billowing from past his lips were an indicator that he was undoubtedly not amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have we reached an understanding, Shrimp goddess?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmph?! Mmh! Mphhm mmhm mhmuhm!!\" Obviously, Discordia did not take kindly to his insult of her, and she took the liberty of letting him know it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he just pretended that he couldn't hear her anyway, since one of his hands was still over her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he did feel the flames on top of her hair get a fair bit warmer than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I guess that means you don't want to be on my team then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She became visibly calmer and she stared at Abaddon with a look of suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Mmph mmh?\" (... You for real?)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. Though I must admit I'm looking forward to seeing someone knock you over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmphrm mmf mph.\" (Gods, I hate you.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aww. I thought we were bonding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmmf mmphr mmh mmph.\" (I would break you underneath me, dragon.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You'll never have the chance, imp.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon tucked Discordia underneath his arm like she was oversized luggage and continued on with the meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The goddess complained so much that he eventually just used the sin of sloth and put her to sleep in seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As I was saying... my people like these things because we are beings of unbridled bodily passion. It's why lying with us is a feeling beyond equal. And why even the weakest of us poses a sizable threat to the lives of lesser beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My people understand actions, not words. Physical sentiments, not wishful thinkings. If they see you fighting for something side by side with others of high stand-in in our society, they will be more inclined to accept you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And... you believe a simple game will achieve this?\" Papa Legba questioned with clear suspicion on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We're intuitive creatures by nature, so I believe that it should work as long as you are sincerely trying to have fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most important part of it is to not seem like otherworlders and more like neighbors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Have fun like normal mortals, not deities from up high who think they're too good to play in the dirt a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of you seem to be a little too tightly wound anyway, so this'll be good for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at a number of gods who were wearing white suits and dresses or enough jewelry to make an ancient king cream his loincloth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would quite enjoy seeing them try to catch a football for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for Izanami, who almost seemed a little too frail for the contact sport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All of you don't have to play, but I do believe this is the best way to bring about feelings of goodwill and unity...I could whore you out in brothels too, but theres a large chance that wouldn't be as effective.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-What..?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can never tell when he's joking anymore...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've noticed this world seems to place a very high value on sex workers...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wonder how much I would go for...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll give you two drachma, not a single one more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hubbub of the gods continued and Abaddon sat back on his throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could see very clearly that his plan was beginning to become digestible to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How certain was he that this would work?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around 80%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if things didn't work out, at least he got to play some football and have some fun of his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Celtic god Cerunnos stepped forward, a wild smile on his face that was fitting for one with his divinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I must say, I am intrigued! Who will be our opponents in this bout?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Admittedly, Abaddon hadn't thought much about that, and this sudden question did make him take a moment to pause and rub his chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were a lot of football enthusiasts in his family and friend group, but he only wanted to play against the one who took the game just as seriously as he did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be a very close tie, but he knew in his heart of hearts there was only one person for the job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon placed the sleeping Discordia onto the floor and held out his hands in anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, a mesmerizing young women appeared in his arms side-by-side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a strikingly beautiful vision who looked to be around seventeen years of age and bore a striking resemblance to Abaddon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had long, gorgeous blonde hair and bright purple eyes like shining amethyst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most, if not all gods in attendance felt like they had to double check their eyesight, because she was the only human in the entirety of Sheol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryujin literally began to drool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad? What's the meaning of all this? Aren't you supposed to be helping moms with wedding planning??\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They let me go free for a bit...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're hiding from them, aren't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-Who's the parent here, tyke?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That means yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon rolled his eyes; silently cursing the fact that his children tended to be so intuitive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Never mind that for now. I was just letting you know that I needed to borrow one of your wives for a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We're going to play a football game and have all of Apollyon in attendance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost immediately, Thea grimaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew exactly which one of her wives her father was talking about, and she absolutely hated it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you two not... She gets all crazy when you two start engaging in this sporty stuff and it's funny sometimes but also a little bit of a turn-off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reminder that his daughter was a sexual being like him had once again hit Abaddon hard in the gut, and he felt like he needed to curl up in a corner and cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment any of his other daughters got married he could see himself lying in bed for months in a depressive state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-Yes, well... be that as it may...\" Abaddon said, trying not to show how broken he was on the inside. \"I still need her. It's for the prosperity of relations going forward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thea still looked like she was a bit unsold on the whole idea, but she was also a sucker for family requests like her father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright... but in exchange for this I'd like mom to put a bigger TV in our room.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's a deal then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them shook hands and Abaddon concentrated to draw another person into his lap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two seconds later, there was a second, equally beautiful young girl sitting on his lap in wonder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had long, red hair that traveled well below her waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body was slender, but nicely toned and indicated the lifetime of work that she had put into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the young girl opposite her, she had rich purple eyes that were slightly darker and more authoritative than Thea's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least they were, until she got a look at her family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, father-in-law! I was wondering where my girl suddenly ran off too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Jasmine noticed that they were not quite alone in here and her cheeks went red from the sudden attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What... is going on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, I'm glad you asked, Jazzie. We're going to play a game.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright… as long as it's not another monster card game. I don't know if I suck, or if brother-in-law just doesn't explain the rules right...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, not that.\" Abaddon aid with a smile that was growing increasingly larger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasmine took a moment to look at the crowd of assembled gods, the unusually large smile on her father-in-law's face, and the droll, depressed look on her wife's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It all alluded to one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't tell me... We're gonna play ball???\" she asked with glee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you're up for it, scrub.\" he taunted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temperature in the room started to get noticeably hotter as Jasmine stood up and analyzed the recruits in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-I get to be a team captain, right??\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. Who else is worthy of defeating other than my precious Jazzie?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thea rolled her eyes without saying another word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temperature around Jasmine continued to rise by a multitude of degrees at every second until she was literally covered in smoldering blue flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...This... will be... the greatest.. day.. EVER!! There's no chance in hell you're beating me, old man! I will grind you into the dirt so thoroughly that weeds will grow from your ass!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those little backyard games before won't mean shit! I'll put so many points on your head you'll think they're raindrops!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After she was done taunting her father-in-law, she turned to address the mass of gods who were stunned silly by her hidden demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Listen up, pencil necks! We will be perfect in every aspect of the game!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You drop a pass, I burn your balls off!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You miss a blocking assignment, I thread your intestines through your nose!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You fumble the football, Vovin help me I'll pull your spines out through your halos!!\" *Jasmine is currently so amped up she has mistaken deities for angels. She will not realize this until later.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I never should have let her watch that movie...\" Thea grumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon smiled so widely that it was hard to tell that his eyes were even open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This.. is going to be so much fun...!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1717,"2026-06-03T10:36:32.717Z","2026-06-03T10:36:37.500Z",1,"novelbin.me","d274052a6a481f131572403db01dcb77af68cd1661f075f61d3551b1631a337a","first-demonic-dragon-chapter-474","first-demonic-dragon-chapter-472",1284,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffirst-demonic-dragon-cover.jpg"]
