Unrivaled Demon's Odyssey

"Hm hmm hm~. Hmm hm hmm~" Emilia hummed.

She was sitting on the bowsprit of the ship, looking up at the starry sky and the full moon that was reflecting like a mirror on the sea surface, continuously humming a song.

Her hair was swaying in the air, and her thighs were bare.

"Oo, my love, come to me, in the sea, I wait for you~"

"Has it been an eternity, has it been forever~"

"The sea is deep, and the air is cold~"

She was singing the same song she was singing in the old capital during her stroll in the market, but instead of broken lyrics, she was singing as if she had remembered the song. Although she still couldn\'t remember the entire song, she would always sing it in the hope of remembering it one day.

"Hm hmm hm~. Hmm hm hmm~"

Sophia came to the ship\'s deck to look for Emilia and found her sitting on the bowsprit in the front.

Sophia couldn\'t help but chuckle after seeing Emilia sitting in an imposing and seductive pose.

She walked to the front of the ship, trying to call her, but her face turned pale, and her body froze when she heard Emilia humming a tune.

"Where are you~ Where were you~ I wait for—"

"Stop singing that song!" Sophia yelled with her face full of rage.

Emilia jolted, and turned back to look at Sophia, then sighed in relief and caught her breath.

"You scared me. Why would you yell all of a sudden?"

"Why were you singing that song? And how do you even know it?" Sophia climbed the figurehead and glared at Emilia.

"Well… I created it. Do you like it?" Emilia asked with an innocent smile.

"Don\'t lie. I know what song is that, and there is no way you created that song."

"I don\'t know why I know this song. I just… oh! I remember!" Emilia claimed. "I remember where I heard this song."

Sophia raised her brows and asked, "Where?"

"Umm… after Nero healed me and saved me. I mean, the first time we met in the dungeon."

"You mean in the prison realm," Sophia corrected.

"Yes." She nodded and continued, "So when I woke up on the bed, naked and covered with a blanket, I glanced around the room and found Nero."

"Just get to the main point. I don\'t want to hear your autobiography," Sophia commented.

"So when I looked at him, I heard him humming this tune, and that\'s where it struck me. I don\'t know why but I just feel like I know this song. Like, I have heard this before. So whenever I have time or when I am alone, I keep humming and singing this song, and thanks to that, I remember ⅓ of the song."

Sophia shook her head in disbelief with a painful expression on her face and muttered, "This can\'t be."

"I am telling the truth!" Emilia shouted and turned around to face the sea and look at the sky.

Sophia sat on the figurehead with the same pose as Emilia. She sighed as she smiled distantly after remembering some of her past moments.

Today was a stressful and very reminiscent day for Sophia as she talked about her old times. She recalled all her moments with Nero and the rest of the party members.

\'Those were good days.\'

Sophia looked at Emilia, who was in a grumpy mood after what happened just now.

"I am sorry," Sophia apologized.

"You have done many bad things to me, so I don\'t know what exactly you are apologizing for."

"I don\'t recall doing anything bad to you, though. But still, let me apologize for yelling at you just now."

"Apology rejected," Emilia muttered.

Sophia furred her brows and said, "I don\'t care if you accept my apology or not; as long as I apologized, I am good."

After a brief silence with nothing but the sound of the ship swishing through the sea surface. Emilia sighed and wondered, "You have been through a lot, huh?"

"Is that Pity?"

"Take it however you want. It\'s just… if I was in your place, I would be able to smile as you do. I would have broken a long time ago," Emilia asserted with sincerity in her voice.

"I don\'t think so. Zeus told me you are stronger than me; at first, I thought he was talking about our power level, so I laughed it out. But then I realized what he was truly referring to."

Emilia hugged her legs and muttered, "I still don\'t understand many things, and I have my questions too. But was that Lucifer stronger than Nero? Since he was able to seal Nero."

"I told you not to mention his name in front of me, didn\'t I?" Sophia spoke with a serious and annoyed expression on her face.

"Answer me, please. I want to know more so I can do my share when we meet him one day."

Sophia sighed in frustration and groaned, "Lucifer is an archangel and the general of all the male angels of heavens. He has many abilities, and he is the strongest angel."

"Even stronger than you?"

After a brief pause, Sophia nodded, "Yes."

"Every angel fears him, and his wrath is unimaginable. He won\'t care if he is an angel; if he wants to do something, then he will do it. If he wants something to happen, then he will make it happen at any cost."

Emilia looked at Sophia and asked, "Do you fear him too?"

Sophia looked into Emilia\'s eyes with a lifeless stare and uttered, "He fears me."

"So, is he stronger than Nero?" Emilia asked again.

"Lucifer was a \'Master of sealing\' art, and he taught Zeus about sealing. So that was the only reason Lucifer was able to seal Zeus when his powers were unstable after the betrayal."

"Who would win if Nero and Lucifer fought?"

"No one can defeat Zeus in battle; people used to call him \'God of the battlefield\'."

Once Nero set his feet on a battleground, his enemies were forced to retreat in fear. If the word got out that \'Zeus\' would be in a certain battle, the enemies would surrender. Strong people well respected him because they knew they would never want to make an enemy of him.

"What about you? Do you have any titles like that?" Emilia asked Sophia with a curious look on her face.

"Why do you want to know? Want to make fun of me?"

"No, just curious. You know, maybe I will get some titles of my own too."

Sophia scoffed and shook her head with a grin on her face and said, "You want a competition in everything, huh?"

"Why not? I want to be number one in everything. I am already the one who took Nero\'s first," Emilia grinned.

"Heh! You were just proud of that, and who knows if you truly were his first or not?"

"What do you mean?" Emilia questioned with a confused and puzzled look on her face.

"Just saying," Sophia shrugged and continued, "Unlike us girls, boys don\'t have any proof that they were a virgin."

Emilia frowned her face and puffed her cheeks, saying, "You had to ruin the only thing I was proud of, huh?"

"What else? I am an angel, and you are a fallen angel, my nemesis. So I will damp you on every chance I get," she replied with a wide grin.

Some time passed, and Sophia and Emilia enjoyed the beautiful scenery.

"Asteria must be feeling like heavens right now," Emilia muttered.

"Well, it is her first night with him, and first time too. So I don\'t think she would enjoy it for a few rounds."

"Don\'t doubt his skills. He can make any girl feel good with his godly sex skills."

"I can second that," Sophia nodded in agreement.

Sophia activated her Angel\'s sight to take a look around to make sure nothing was in their way.

"How do you do that?" Emilia asked.

"It\'s Angel\'s sight, and every angel has that ability," Sophia replied, then said, "But half-angels don\'t."

"Nero also uses it, right? Is it called demon\'s sight or something?"

"Zeus does have Demonic eyes, but he doesn\'t use them often as they are absolutely useless for him. So he uses God\'s eyes."

"What\'s that?"

"It was first called \'God\'s sight\', then Zeus mastered it and evolved it to \'God\'s eyes\'. And if he masters God\'s eyes too, then it will be evolved into \'God\'s vision\'."

"And what does it do?"

"No idea," Sophia answered and shrugged, saying, "I haven\'t met anyone having God\'s vision yet."

"Why does he have God\'s eyes, though? He is a  demon and a vampire, so he should have something like \'Vampire\'s eyes\'. Wait, do all races have these \'sight\' abilities?"

"It doesn\'t actually belong to races. Anyone can master any sight if they want, but it\'s just…" After a brief pause, Sophia continued, "It\'s harder for other races to master another race\'s abilities. However, the arts and abilities are different. No one can use arts of different races."

"Nero told me that once before, that art is different, and you can\'t copy or master it without practicing it," Emilia informed.

She watched the sea for a while, then suddenly furrowed her eyes with a confused look on her face:

"Say, Sophia; you said Nero uses God\'s eyes, right? But he is not technically a god, so how can he use that? Did you teach him?"

"No. He got them from a god," Sophia uttered nonchalantly.

".....?!" Emilia\'s face showed she didn\'t understand anything, and it was natural because, as far as she has known, Nero hated Gods.

"Zeus killed a god when he was seven years old."
