Chapter 29

Vesta—asteroid belt

Lucifer came to Vesta often. The large asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter offered incredible panoramas of Earth and the surrounding solar system that couldn’t be matched elsewhere.

Whenever he came here and took in all the planets and their moons, comets, stars, and even asteroids, he liked to fantasize that he created it all simply by speaking it into existence, and that he lorded over the universe.

Every bit of it.

Of course it was nothing more than a fantasy. He was only a fallen angel. He couldn’t create anything as spectacular as what he gazed upon now. The only thing he could create was havoc and mayhem.

So since he couldn’t lay claim to creating the universe, he did the next best thing. He hoodwinked the scientific community into putting all their faith into the Big Bang Theory, and then persuaded the astrophysicists and cosmologists to spread their theory of space expansion as if it was indisputable fact.

Simply put, he took God out of the equation.

It wasn’t all that hard to do either.

Humans are easily duped.

Standing close to an immense crater, Lucifer swiveled his handsome head as he took in the grandeur before him. The Earth looked like a tiny blue and green marble from way up here. But something didn’t look right this time. Something was missing in the twinkling panorama before him.

And then he figured it out. Wormwood was missing. The star had fallen not long ago, fulfilling prophecy written in Revelation. The star’s absence alarmed him.

Time is running out on me, Lucifer thought.

He often did his best thinking on Vesta. Despite the intense cold, his mind seemed to scheme better here on the asteroid than anywhere else. Usually he came to Vesta alone. But this moment was pivotal to his future. So he brought company with him.

An army.

Sixty million demons holding swords, bows and bludgeoning tools stood behind him, awaiting his command. They eagerly listened for one word.

Attack!

Lucifer felt a tap on his shoulder. Angrial had sidled up to him. “Master, when will you give the order to attack? The troops are cold, and morale is plummeting. I cannot control them much longer.”

“It won’t be long, Angrial. I’ve entered Thorgus’s head. We’re conversing.”

“Master, forgive me for being so bold, but it would seem impossible for any of our troops to make it into the temple, let alone steal the seventh bowl right under the Almighty God’s nose. We’ll be outnumbered by a wide margin.”

Lucifer nodded. “I have altered the plan. Thorgus is now the key to our success. I’m going to persuade Thorgus to grab the bowl and escape the temple. He need only to fly over the wall with the bowl. I’ll take it from there.”

“Can Thorgus even fly? He’s done nothing but stand in the temple by the seventh bowl for as long as I can remember.”

“Thorgus has wings doesn’t he? He won’t have to fly far,” Lucifer said, unable to hide his irritation. Like at the stadium in Teredel, Angrial flirted with insubordination. And Lucifer wouldn’t stand for such behavior much longer.
