give praise, for he has no equal
[ the world is still in one piece, and belial isn't particularly bothered by their grand finale being thwarted. he'd intentionally poked a few holes in the plan—"forgetting" to destroy those documents gabriel and cagliostro found, and telling lucilius to have fun at etemenanki in front of the singularity and her friends, informing them where to go—leaving just enough possibility for either outcome to occur. it's more interesting when the chips can fall either way, and belial is all about keeping things interesting, thriving on the chaos he creates.
also, their failure means he gets to spend more time with the love of his life. watching the world burn and disintegrate together would've been romantic and he isn't opposed to it happening eventually, but it would have been anticlimactic to spend 2000 years bringing lucilius back and then die with him two hours later. he wants to draw it out, savor their reunion fully, before going out with style.
belial grins as he pulls lucilius close to his body, holding him tight when he takes off with his eight draconic wings spread wide, leaving the divine tower behind. he's tired and probably shouldn't even be moving right now, but the combination of adrenaline and avatar's maddening power pumping through his system is what fuels him to keep going anyway, his wings flapping hard enough to break away from the dimensional rift's gravitational pull.
that was a close one; had he arrived even one minute later, it would have been too late. belial adjusts his hold on lucilius and tosses a quick glance behind him, seeing the tower being sucked into the unknown beyond the shimmering rift. the airship he left to the crew is still in one piece and at a safe distance; belial grins and wishes he could see the looks on their faces when they find his... ah, parting gift. but as fun as it would be to stick around long enough for the explosives to go off, they both need to get to a safe location and rest up properly.
he draws in a deep breath and flies toward the eastern parts of phantagrande, landing in the courtyard in the center of the stone mansion he'd purchased a few decades earlier; he's made some good money over the years and decided to buy some nice properties to stay at. it's decently secluded, located at the end of a long pathway over a large hill, so they're unlikely to be bothered. finally, it's just the two of them. ]
So, Cilius—what's next on the agenda? A bath? I think we both need a nice, hot bath to rest our muscles in after today.
[ he gingerly sets lucilius down on his feet and relinquishes his hold on him. the sound of heels clacking against the stone tile almost makes him shiver. ]
