This time, I was at the table where the devil council had gathered.
Lord Bael, Phenex, Gremory, Belial, and leaders from other clans.
Sirzechs, Ajuka, Serafall, and Falbium were also here.
"We didn't know you'd act so decisively. I want to express my thanks for exposing what the Naberius Clan did. As a scientist, I find what they did unacceptable," said Ajuka.
He knew me a little because of Sirzechs; he had asked Ajuka to create a King piece for me.
But Zekram Bael rested his chin on his hand: "This kid is strong, and I respect strength. Plus, he has abilities like Power of Destruction and Worthless. He might even perfect devil then Lucifer—only his sense of justice is a bit annoying."
"Still, do we have to deny that he killed a clan leader?" said Lord Phenex.
Sirzechs smiled: "No, of course not. But the public witnessed all of this. If we did anything to him, it would trigger a new civil war."
"That wouldn't benefit anyone. Besides, he must have taken the Naberius Clan's abilities, too, right?" said Zeoticus, looking at me.
I didn't respond to Zeoticus question.
Right now, inside my red-black suit, I was carefully watching everyone.
I looked like Dante in this state.
I stood up, crossed my arms, and believed it was time to speak for myself: "For me, if a scientist needs human experiments, he's not a good scientist. All my ancestors died for justice… Now it's my turn, but I'm more extreme than them. If there's a criminal, I won't hesitate to judge them. Also, I don't believe you that you didn't know anything about the nekoshou named Kuroka, who is an SS-class criminal."
I was looking at Sirzechs because he definitely knew about the Kuroka and Koneko incident, but probably stayed silent to keep the Underworld calm.
Falbium rested his chin on his hand: "These are things big enough to cause war if shaken."
I sat back down: "Then kill the people who could cause war. Since when have you been this mild?"
"You don't know what war means… Have you ever heard the screams of a man without lungs?" said Serafall.
I closed my eyes: "Right now we are already in a war—all of us… Traditionalists' ideology is understandable, but they go too far. They talk about ruling the world, but idiots think they can only do it with power. Here, including me, no one would dare fight Shiva. The world—and even the solar system—would probably be destroyed in that kinda war. I think we should change the target. The three factions should do agreement with each other. We can even gain allies like Asgard and stop a potential Ragnarok."
"Agreement with angels and fallen angels? Our numbers may have decreased, but we're not that desperate," said Lord Belial.
But Sirzechs interrupted: "Cassien is right. Even though we're in a peace phase right now, we still haven't let go of our hatred. Terrorist groups are multiplying, and even we can't be everywhere. We know things like Ragnarok and Apocalypse will happen. Really doing this would benefit everyone."
"But by fighting, we can also raise the devil's position higher. War is where money, resources, and similar things are truly gained. if Peace come stagnation period will begin," said Lord Belial.
Zekram Bael: "I've seen a lot of wars, and even when the strong win, the losses are always extreme for both sides. In the Great War, Lucifer died, and God did too. Groups are trying to start a war between all pantheons. I'm in favor of eliminating these groups. Personally, I look positively on what Cassien did to the Naberius Clan."
"Actually, sympathy toward noble devils has increased among the public because of what Cassien did. Personally, I've examined his past in detail. He's an exemplary devil, and I look forward to agreeing with angels and fallen angels."
Ajuka raised his finger: "This benefits us in every way. Some among us may want war, but no one here will come out unharmed from war. We all saw his fight with Nyx. If even Great Red intervened, that means something is going on… Lately, I've started hearing the names Khaos Brigade and Hero Faction. I think they're being supported by someone powerful."
"Indra and Rizevim Lucifer," I said.
Everyone looked at me in shock: "Do you realize what you're saying? Rizevim Lucifer hasn't been around for centuries—maybe even longer," said Sirzechs.
"Yes, I'm aware. I didn't tell you, but there's a Leviathan in my peerage—Ingvild Leviathan. She's half-Leviathan. They wanted to use her. After that, they wanted to use Valerie Tepes in my peerage. Right now they can't touch me in the Underworld, but it won't last long… Also, I'll tell you a truth: the person who killed my family was Rizevim."
I told them about my peerage—only Valerie and Ingvild.
The reason was to give them an idea of what they were planning.
When everyone is in chaos, it's more likely they'll unite.
I'm trying to bring out threats like Kokabiel early, bring Asgard and everything forward, and make Rizevim appear.
I'm sure there's one of Rizevim's men among us.
They'll go and report it, and it's likely he'll come to find me.
That's why I revealed my clan ability in the first place during the Cleria case—so when he comes, he'll know there's no escape and will bring a lot of people with him, with that I can make him suffer from losses and make his plan worthless.
Everyone's eyes widened: "How did you reach this conclusion?" said Bael.
"Because I saw with my own eyes how he stabbed my father through the chest. According to what I learned from friends, he intends to destroy the world, but he can't do it while Great Red is around," I said.
Everyone stood up: "Then things are really big. Falbium, use your agents and verify what Cassien said."
"If what Cassien says is true, they'll likely revive the dragons with Sephiroth Graal. I reached this conclusion because it seems connected to Ingvild's Sacred Gear. After agreeing with fallen angels and angels, let's consult with other mythologies," said Ajuka.
Sirzechs furrowed his brows: "Very logical theory. I'll talk to Shiva."
And so the meeting ended.
