Morningstar Of Sin

Chapter 45 - Goth Envy and Dead Asgardian

(A/N: Sorry for not releasing the last week chapters till today. My internet went out and comcast had to come to fix it. I tried everything to fix it and got it to work intermittently eventually. Turns out a speed adjustment on the cable caused all 3 splitters to got bad (2 inside, 1 on the poll) and the poll wasn't even supposed to have a splitter on it.

Enjoy and sorry <3 )

Her face scrunches as if I just spewed a vile insult at her. "I serve no one."

A small smile graces my lips "Exactly. Think of it more as a partnership. I give you power and you will aid me when I call you."

"... What is an envoy?" She asks scooting against the headboard ready to listen.

"An Envoy is an extension of my power, you will be one of my hands in the universe. You will channel a Sin and draw power from both yourself and me. Like completing a circuit." I say, giving her a charming smile.

Her eyebrows raise obviously happy that I'm giving her such a high position. "And what Sin would you give me?"

I rub my chin "You most exemplify Pride… but you are not strong enough to control it. Secondly I would say Wrath… but I already have an Envoy of that and doubling up sounds unappealing. The one I would place you as would be Envy."

"I say Envy for obvious reasons, although Envy is not known for being the most powerful it is tricky. If you manage to master it you will be able to not only transform into any being you have seen but you can also manipulate the powers of others." My devilish grin widens as I finish explaining.

(A/N: Power manipulation is Envy's awakened ability. You've already seen Wrath's with the weakening of enemies and Gluttony with him eating Predator's living body.)

A small grin adorns her face "A man after my own heart… but nothing is free, what will it cost?"

I hold up my hands defensively "There are three main stipulations… Come when I call, Defend this earth when I am not here or when I request, and finally befriend your sister."

She looks surprised "I don't have to follow your orders absolutely or somethings stupid like that?"

I shake my head as I step forward grabbing her grin forcing her to meet my eyes "Not a single contract I have forces my underlings to listen to me… But they all know what happens to those who disobey."

She gulps as she tries to back into the bed frame as she nods her head. I smile "Good that you understand."

I hold out a hand, a long piece of parchment appears in a roll of flames. "Sign it if you accept the terms, if not come speak to me." I hand her a pen as I step out of the room.

I sigh since I'm finally free of responsibility for a while. I see Ruby laying down on the short end of the L couch reading a book.

I smile "Finally sick of binging films are you?"

She gives me a side eye "I am not currently speaking with you."

"But you are speaking now, are you not? To me at that?" I say, giving her a cheeky grin.

She places the book over her face "La la la la la la la la la la I can't hear youuu."

I roll my eyes as I walk over to her patting her head with an open palm. "I'm going to see Candy, I'll be back in a few hours, you're in charge of babysitting the goth."

She pulls down the book and glares at me "UGH" I chuckle a bit at her 'pain' as I walk into the elevator.

The next two weeks went along perfectly fine. The goth tamaranean signed the contract and is staying with us until she learns her powers. Tandy has started to learn how to use her powers from The Ancient One.

But this wouldn't last long… as expected in the middle of lunch Legion slowly rises from my shadow.

My eyes narrow as I give his pale face a side eye "What is it?"

"The son of Odin is on the verge of death, without intervention he will die." Legion's voices echoes through the room.

I sigh "Can you not deal with it?"

Legion lowers their head. "We are not plentiful enough in the area to defeat an enchanted asgardian steel giant."

My eyebrows raise "The Destroyer is trying to kill the child? Odd. I guess I will go save the poor child."

I stand up and say my goodbyes to Ruby, Tandy, and the goth leech. My wings extend to full length as I vanish from their sight.

I appear again on the streets of the small town in New Mexico. The first thing I see when appearing is the corpse of the childish asgardian flying through the air. The Destroyer is staring at the body flying through the air looking for signs of life.

"Well guess I'm too late, oh well." I turn around ready to leave but a figure catches my eye.

Kneeling next to Thor is the crying figure of Jane and behind her is an old man and Darcy. I smile as I vanish again appearing next to the sad looking Darcy. There were a few others but I don't care.

I grab her waist and pull her close causing her to yelp in surprise. "It got to this point and you didn't even pray to me? I am disappointed little one." I speak with a small grin as I hold up her chin to look up at me.

Her eyes look teary as she wraps her arms around my lower body. I'm in my first level devil form so I'm over seven feet tall… 'Perhaps I should unzip?... No that's a bit inappropriate.' I shake the thought from my head.

I look up at the Destroyer who is still staring at the corpse of Thor. "It's too bad you are a machine so you won't be able to feel this pain."

I raise a hand into the air palm up. Hellfire blazes from my hand slowly growing in size until the buildings taller than two stories around start melting. Brick, stone, or sandstone all buildings begin to melt.

Is this overkill? Yes. But this is about more than that. This is a display of power. Of dominance. The tower of flames is so tall that clouds begin to burn turning the sky red. Darcy, Jane, the old man, and the four randoms watch in awe.

With a casual wave down the pillar of flame falls like a sword. The Destroyer is evaporated as if it were paper in a campfire but it did not stop there. The road melts into a small ten foot deep valley over two miles long.

My grin turns toothy as I admire my handiwork. But my smile quickly falls as I hear the rushing of wind. The hammer I inspected two weeks ago is flying through the sky towards us. Thor's hand raises as if he were a zombie springing from the grave.

As he grabs the hammer, lightning strikes his corpse and he rises in a burst of dust and wind. He stands up with his hammer in a fighting position. Not seeing the Destroyer and the ruined street he turns back confused.

"Where did it go?" Thor asks the crying Jane as she rushes him hugging him.

I roll my eyes as I grab Darcy looking deep into her eyes "Pray to me next time, you idiot."

She nods her head, tears still in her eyes.
