Chapter 521: Diablo, The Incarnation of Evil.
Diablo ignored the man and treated him as insignificant.
"The war has begun... A war as devastating as the one that had taken place in the Primeval times of the Genesis age."
"And this time, the Demons will bring doomsday to all beings."
"…Do you think we're going to sit around and do nothing, Demon?" Michael growled as his Angelic voice rippled through the hall.
"As a matter of fact, I am counting on your interference," Diablo spoke while looking at the Angels.
Lilith smiled sadistically as she looked at the Angels with hatred on her face, an attitude very different from Diablo's.
"What is your purpose in coming to this place?" Shiva asked in a neutral tone.
"If your plan is so advanced, why bother coming to this place?"
"...." Diablos looked at Shiva but didn't answer; instead, he looked at Lilith.
Feeling Diablo's gaze, Lilith's body shook a little, and for a moment, her eyes lost their life but quickly returned to normal. Then she looked at everyone present.
Victor, Natashia, and the beings who saw time differently didn't miss those seconds.
"I came to propose a demand, a non-aggression rule."
"..." Shiva raised an eyebrow at that answer.
"Until the time the war breaks out, the other Mythologies, Vampires, Witches, Werewolves, and...Youkai." She added Haruna, who was present.
"All beings mentioned must not meddle in the war."
"…This is a joke, right?" Volk could only say that.
"This is not your war," Lilith spoke in disdain.
"It is the war between us, the Angels, and the beings created by the 'Heavenly Father'." The heartbreak contained in that name was immense.
"Don't speak our lord's name with your filthy mouth, Demonic whore."
"Big words coming from those scummy little boys. Have you finally grown up and stopped getting love from your daddy?"
"Did he throw you away after using your body?"
"...Oh, actually, you weren't his favorite." She put her hand to her mouth and looked at him pityingly: "What a poor creature."
"..." Michael's wings spread, and white power spread through the room; he was visibly grinding his teeth as he looked at the woman as if she were a dead woman.
And it could be said that Lilith's feelings were mutual.
"This is ridiculous; your request makes no sense. You do realize that all Mythologies had some kind of involvement in the creation of Humans, right?" Shiva spoke.
The Concept of 'Creation' was not something unique to The Heavenly Father. Beings like Shiva, Prometheus, Borr, and even Odin had some influence on this Concept of Creation.
And with this Concept, these Gods created various creations, among them Human beings.
Asking the Gods not to interfere was just madness; they would interfere; after all, it was also an excellent opportunity to gain some territories, and no one would miss that chance.
And everyone tacitly knew that. So even those who weren't in the know, like Haruna and Kuroka, looked cautiously at the two Demons.
Even the two Demons knew, so what was their reason for coming here?
'Is it to buy time? Time for what?' Volk deduced. He was no fool; he could see when someone was trying not to touch on specific subjects.
"I know." Diablo was the one who answered.
"Earth will fall today..." Diablo's smile grew.
"…And measures have been taken for you not to interfere."
"!!!" All the Leaders present opened their eyes wide, but the fastest was Vlad's group.
A blue magic circle appeared in his hand, and soon a portal appeared beside him, and in this portal, everyone saw Nightingale burning.
A spell that was previously made to keep an eye on Nightingale.
A hologram appeared in Evie's hands and showed her Arcane realm burning.
The same happened when Volk took a piece of equipment and showed his Kingdom in flames.
Only for Haruna, nothing happened... After all, she was the visitor and the weakest Faction.
Haruna was quite relieved; she knew that few of her group could resist the Giant Demons shown.
Victor, Natashia, Agnes, and even Vlad's hearts ached when they saw this image. This was just a security measure to show Nightingale's state; it was not an Alexios portal.
"I suggest you return to your Kingdom; you don't want them to be destroyed, right?" Diablos laughed.
"You think you'll survive against all Factions, Diablo!?" Evie's face distorted.
"Yeah, I will." A toothy smile appeared on Diablos' face, and he looked up at the Gods:
"I wonder what the Underworld Gods of your Mythologies are doing?"
"...." Zeus, Shiva, and Thor narrowed their eyes.
Zeus' eyes glowed pure white, and he looked at his territory; soon, he saw 'shadows' taking over all of Mount Olympus.
'Hades? You came back?'
Shiva narrowed his eyes: 'Looks like someone is getting rebellious...' He thought with disdain.
Thor took an eye out of his pocket and looked at it, and soon he saw his home, Asgard, being attacked by an army of skeletons.
'Hellheim...'
Diablo looked at Volk:
"As I said, my goals are beyond your comprehension, Dog."
Diablo turned around and started walking, and soon a dark portal the size of him appeared in front of him.
"Do not meddle in this war; this is the war of Angels, Demons, and Humans."
"...." The organizer frowned when he saw the portal's energy. He could feel it was from a being on the same level as himself, a being that should be impartial.
'The Ruler, have you come out of your impartiality?' He didn't like this news at all; it needed to be investigated urgently.
'I hope you're just trading for the souls in Diablos' possession, my friends.' The eyes of the jagged existence turned cold.
When Diablo left with Lilith, everyone came out of their stupor when Vlad spoke.
"Open restrictions; we need to go back." This wasn't about sitting down and having a meeting.
The Owner of The Limbo Prison just snapped his fingers and said:
"Done."
Soon a familiar portal appeared near Victor's group, and the group quickly jumped to Nightingale.
...
After Diablo passed through the portal, he found himself on Earth, specifically Moscow… at least what was left of the city.
A man appeared in front of him and knelt.
"Master."
"Belial, our plans?"
"All of them are being completed without interference."
Diablo nodded slightly, his eyes gleaming with intelligence, and soon he turned to one spot, precisely three equal beings who were looking at him.
The clothes of these beings were identical, and they, much like The limbo Owner, looked distorted as if no one could see their natural forms.
Three beings with blurred shapes, as if the world wouldn't allow 'low-level' beings to look at them.
"Abyss Watchers... The servants of The Judges of The Abyss." Belial muttered as he narrowed his eyes slightly.
"2 billion souls, that was the deal you made with our Master." The man on the right spoke.
'A small price to get me out of that man's territory.' Diablo thought as he continued to look.
"The exchange is done; we will return to our impartiality." The man in the middle spoke.
"…An advice from our Master." The man on the left spoke.
"Avoid breaking the balance, or you will end up stuck in Limbo forever." The three spoke at the same time and then disappeared.
A hush fell over the area as the three of them left. Diablo just took his gaze from the sky and back to Moscow.
"Master...?"
"Ignore it; breaking the 'balance' is not such an easy thing."
"We have plans to follow."
"Ugh..." Lilith held her head in frustration.
Diablo looked at this with mild annoyance:
"... Reinforce the bonds of ritual; she still has her uses."
"Yes, Master."
"Remove the Demons from Arcane, and send the resources to the Witches; our contract has been completed."
"Where should I send these Demons?"
"Hmm... As they are this woman's Demons... Send them to Nightingale-." Although the moment he thought about it, Diablo felt an itch on the thorn in his back; his instinct was warning him that it was a bad idea.
And he'd always trusted that instinct; he thought about it and tried to figure out why his instinct warned him; reviewing his information, he realized something.
'... Lilith's ex-General is in that place...' Diablo's eyes glowed red with shades of yellow for a few seconds.
'No loose ends... I can't risk it. Fate is a bitch, and that man seems to be loved by these bitches.' Remembering the Soul of the man who was laughing at the meeting.
He couldn't help but lick his lips; he'd never seen a Soul so big, robust, and strong before.
And unlike those Gods, his Soul didn't seem to taste like shit, which was one of the reasons why Diablo believed fate loved that man.
Nobody had such a big Soul without reason; the other reason?
Well, he was very irregular.
'Victor Alucard... A Vampire Baby from the Vampires' point of view, yet he has conquered so many things.'
Diablo had seen many talented people in his long existence, and with just one encounter, he could tell that this man had one of the best talents he had ever seen.
He'd only seen that kind of talent in Heroes of the past, and usually, those Heroes were loved by The Bitch of Fate.
... Now, being loved by The Bitch of Fate might seem like a good thing.
But everyone knew the fate of the Heroes of the past, right?
'It's a pity... If I could capture him and turn him into a Demon, he would be a great General; it's a waste that he's a vampire.'
"Master?"
"Send the Demons to Samar; that dog will deal with them for me."
"Yes, Master... What about the forces that are scattered attacking random Countries?"
"Continue with the plan; distraction is necessary, and with so many Souls..." He opened his hand, and a solid white glow appeared in his hand; there was some golden glow on these Souls, proving that they were the souls of Gods.
"We have no shortage of Demons to create; losing some means nothing." He flashed a predatory smile.
"Start the second phase of the plan; get Lilith ready until the plan begins."
"And don't forget about distraction."
"Yes, Master!"
Diablo's smile grew:
'Let's take care of these plagues that The Heavenly Father empowered.' Then, he looked toward the horizon, specifically at Europe.
