Everyone had gathered in a room.
Samael was not in Cocytus…
That son of a bitch, where is he!!!
Lavinia, Kuroka, Valerie, Venelana, Cleria, Ingvild, Grayfia, Gabriel, and I were there.
We were currently in the Vatican: "Samael has been taken. Your guess was correct… They're planning something, and it's something very big," said Grayfia.
Everyone here was aware of the situation.
"God had sealed him! Someone must have summoned him! I'm sure we'll find him somehow," said Gabriel, cheering everyone up.
I looked at this smiling woman with my eyes and placed my hand on my forehead: "They realized I figured out their plans. Now they're planning a counterattack."
The situation seemed hopeless, but Kuroka hugged me from behind: "Come on, don't be sad, we'll find a way."
Venelana closed her eyes: "In the worst-case scenario, they will send Samael to the dimensional gap to fight Great Red."
"That would mean an apocalyptic scenario…" said Cleria.
Everyone knew the importance of Great Red.
Yes, an apocalyptic scenario…
I raised my finger: "He was sealed. The only one who could summon him would have to be a god. I have someone in mind—this must be Hades."
Gabriel slammed the table: "THIS IS A CAUSE FOR WAR!!"
"Actually, Nyx found me first. If Olympus did this, they owe us an explanation," said Ingvild.
Everyone looked extremely serious.
Lavinia was tapping the table with her fingers, seemingly thinking: "What if they try to send him to the dimensional gap? WE'RE FORGETTING ONE FACTOR! THEY MIGHT TRY TO STEAL OPHIS'S POWER OR EVEN KILL HER!!!"
I said the truth about khaos brigade and being supported by Ophis.
They use her...
Valerie slapped her forehead: "That's even worse. Instead of fighting Great Red in the dimensional gap, if they somehow take Ophis's power, Great Red would be defeated or badly injured."
Kuroka sat on my lap: "But still, even then, they couldn't beat Great Red. Or even if it got injured, Valerie could heal it with Sephiroth Graal."
Yes, Sephiroth Graal had opened its Balance Breaker and changed form.
Lavinia did the same, and all the girls had reached low-Satan class somehow.
This was also thanks to the demon bloodline.
Venelana was at the same power level as me…
Grayfia paused for a moment, eyes widening as if she remembered something: "Actually, I have an idea. If we suspect Hades, there's a way to confirm it."
"What is it?" I asked.
She smiled: "Nyx! Nyx has a strange obsession with you, right? Let's use her. If Samael really was summoned by Hades as you think, she might know, and we could land a big blow."
"NO WAY IN HELL!!! THAT WOMAN WANTS CASSIEN, AND SHE'S SUPER CREEPY!!" Valerie shouted.
Gabriel stood up: "Perfect! This way, we'd get information about another pantheon. You'd do this for us, right, Cassien?!"
She looked at me with such sparkly, expectant eyes that…
I stayed silent because I didn't know what Nyx would do to me.
Her obsession might be with my blood or lineage—she might even try to eat me… literally!!!
Seeing me silent, Gabriel smiled and came right in front of my face: "If you accept, I'll grant you one request."
"Me too," said Grayfia from the side.
Venelana gave them a side-eye: "If you take both of them, that leaves only 3 slots total," she said.
I furrowed my brows, set Kuroka—who was on my lap—aside, and stood up: "I'll talk to Nyx and follow a moderate path to find Samael. But Grayfia, I want you to accept being with me—say yes or no… Gabriel, that's not possible for you, so I want to get to know you personally. Can these requests be accepted?"
"I-I would be with you, Cassien. I just thought it was too early and didn't expect you to still want me with so many girls around," said Grayfia, blushing.
"My goal hasn't changed."
"Then I'm in…" she said.
I looked at Gabriel, but the girl suddenly pulled me into her breasts and stroked my hair: "You're so cute. I want to get to know you, too, Cassien."
I sighed.
Damn it, I have to deal with a primordial goddess of darkness.
