Should we go on with this meeting to reach peace with the angel and fallen angel?
When this topic was raised, everyone, especially those from the older generations, frowned, but those people from the House of Bael had a complicated expression as they knew their ancestor had fallen, sleeping, without knowing when he would wake up.
"We shouldn't agree to them. What if it's a trap?"
This response was as expected, or rather, no one within the older generations thought to join the peace meeting, which was initiated by the fallen angel. Or rather, did the fallen angels think that they were idiots and that they would be fooled? No one thought the meeting was real; instead, they thought that it was just a fake meeting to trap the angel and the devil, killing the leaders of the two factions and reducing the power of the angel and the devil to the same level as the fallen angel.
Everyone knew that the fallen angels were the weakest among the three factions within Christian Mythology, but even so, this faction could stand up till now, and it was all because all of those fallen angels were dirty and sneaky.
More importantly, when they thought of the leader of this faction, they didn't think that it was impossible, but—
"That said, the governor of the fallen angel, Azazel, died."
"....."
"Eh?!"
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard the news.
"Is that true, Ajuka?!"
"Yes." Ajuka nodded. "Why do you think that they started to take the initiative to have this meeting?"
"Then, what are we waiting for? Let's get the others to attack the fallen angel and take everything from them!"
Ajuka sighed, thinking that they were all stupid, then glanced at Masa, who was all quiet, closed his eyes, and appeared as if sleeping, which made him speechless. Still, no one thought to wake Masa up, or rather, Serafall even teased her young lover naughtily by poking Masa's cheek!
Taking a deep sigh for the second time, Ajuka said, "Sirzech got a sleeping disease."
"...." Everyone.
"I have also heard that the Old Satan Faction was on the move, so... are you sure that you want to make a move now?"
"....." Everyone.
"While we aren't sure why they started to take the initiative to take this peace meeting, we can be sure that there must be a great reason why they decided to do this despite the hatred between us. They..."
"They...?"
"They might find an enemy that endangers the Christian Myth, so they want to form this peace between the three factions."
"..." Everyone.
Still, they understood within their logic that this peace would bring more good than harm, especially when the numbers of the devils were reduced to the previous Civil War and hadn't recovered till now. While the existence of the reincarnation devils might add to their numbers, the old generation had never thought those reincarnation devils were devils!
Instead, they all thought of all of them as servants, slaves, or even something worse, but then again, as devils, they knew well how to act like hypocrites and package themselves as the righteous, but then again, how could they give up so easily?
"What does the King say? Lord Bael must have made his decision right as he sent Masa-sama here."
Despite being the heir of the House of Vapula, Masa could be said to be the representative of the Great King Faction, especially when his aunt was the current wife of Lord Bael, or even be called the Queen of all the devils. At the same time, his cousin, Saiorg, had also awoken to the power of destruction, which made him eligible to become the official heir of the House of Bael and was accepted by everyone.
Yes, Sairaorg no longer had a problem becoming the heir as the problem of not awakening the power of destruction no longer existed within him Even if his Demonic Power was the same, similarly, still low, it was fine since as long as he inherited the power of destruction, he was accepted as that power was a sign and a symbol of the devil that was born from the House of Bael.
Nevertheless, Sairaorg was still young, so Masa was chosen as the representative, especially after he had defeated Sirzech and became the strongest devil despite his young age.
It was also due to this reason: despite being the youngest, most of them were called Masa with a "-sama" suffix.
"Impossible!"
Unexpectedly, Masa refuted Ajuka's proposal, which made the majority of their eyes shine brightly. "While this peace might give us more advantages than disadvantages, we have to be careful since it might be a conspiracy by the fallen angel for all of us."
"That's right!"
"How can we, a devil, befriend the fallen angel!"
"They are our eternal enemy! We have to fight them to the death!"
As the crowd got excited, Masa lifted his hand, which made all of them keep quiet. "That said, this meeting might give us a certain insight about the Old Satan Faction since we all know well that we don't fully erase this hidden danger from the Devil Civil War. They are waiting for a time to return and have their revenge against us, turning us into slaves and forcing us to fight the fallen angels and angels, returning to the age of the Great War and erasing everything which we have built."
"...."
Those words shut everyone's mouths and felt heavy, as they knew that with Sizech getting the sleeping disease, their situation was critical. Masa's heavy words also made all of them tremble, thinking of the horrible past where they were used as cattle and cows to fight as their lives were as cheap as insects.
"Peace aside, we have to join this meeting, whether we want to or not, especially when they might have information about a hidden enemy that wants to erase us, especially when this enemy could kill Azazel, and this might also be a chance for us to learn about the powers of the angels and the fallen angels since if they are weak..."
Was there a need for him to continue to talk?
Still, everyone also understood that peace wasn't bad at all, especially if they could use those despicable fallen angels and angels under their ruler. They might hate those two races, but even so, they knew they were strong, and... they also knew well this world wasn't as peaceful as they knew it to be.
Masa's expression was solemn despite being watched by many.
"So, who will go to this meeting?"
"...."
No one said anything, and all of them stared at Masa, but—
"Me~! Me~! Me~!"
Serafall linked her arm against Masa's, and she leaned on him and said happily, "I will be with Masa at this meeting~!"
"....." Everyone.
"Okay."
No one rejected this decision since both Serafall and Masa had high prestige and power among all the devils.
Regardless, the meeting was adjourned, and the meeting between the three factions would start soon, with Masa and Serafall as the representatives of the devils for this meeting.
