Chapter 778 – The Ancestral Incubus Chamber
Lux stiffened. "Okay." His voice sounded smaller than usual. "That's… strong."
Asmo stepped beside him calmly, unaffected.
Lux swallowed.
He could feel it.
There were no personalities in the air.
No single presence.
Just layers.
Ancient ones.
The Lust Lords who ruled before Asmo.
Before the current houses.
Before recorded infernal economy.
And deeper…
Something else.
The Original Lust.
Not a demon.
Not a lord.
The Sin itself.
It hummed through the chamber like a pulse.
Then…
The air shifted.
The chamber darkened slightly.
And voices began.
Not from one direction.
Not from everywhere.
From within the walls.
Within the floor.
Within the air itself.
"…A Lust…"
"…He reeks…"
"…Greed…"
Lux stood still.
Asmo crossed his arms, watching calmly.
Lux muttered quietly, "This is why I do not enjoy heritage ceremonies."
The voices grew clearer.
"Who wakes us?"
"Who disturbs the domain?"
"That Lord?"
A pause.
"…No."
