Epic of Caterpillar

Chapter 1194 - Making A Deal With The Archdemon Of Greed

I had decided to simply put, make a deal with Mammon, the Prince of Greed and get to become his ally. I already know deep down that I cannot possibly win against this monster demon trap boy, so I better just become his ally. It is better for both of us to become besties instead of angry enemies that want to kill each other without any remorse, right?

Yeah, it is better that way! No need for anything else in life anyways, indeed. We can all become friends. I have become a pacifist. If possible, I would never want to fight people. I would rather laze around with my family while eating good food and playing games and stuff.

My past? A warmonger? I've killed millions? Pfff… That's just the past! I am actually a good woman, a woman that only seeks harmony in her life, I would never, and I say, NEVER, I would ever try to fight a person just because I want to eat them to grow stronger… That's… ridiculous! What kind of barbaric being do you think I am? I am a nice person, that's on my past.

Indeed, I have decided to help out mammon-chan, not just because he's overpowered or something but because he's the cutest and I want him as my son too. Ahah, not just because there's no way for me to currently beat him to death yet, nope, that's not the case here. I am here to make friends and allies, not enemies.

What? I came here to eat him so I can become a Ruler of Hell? T-That's just a very big misunderstanding! I had come here specifically to talk things out with him so we can become allies. I had been always thinking about this, not just now that I meet him, I swear.

That's right, I am a woman of goodwill. I desire only to help and ally others. I have not forged this power to use it on my own selfish goals and gains, without caring about anyone else. I am not that selfish, please, I am a woman that is willing to use her power to help others in need, I am actually a big hero, you know?

I am actually a big hero! I had helped many people before, many Kingdoms were eternally grateful as I freed them from the claws of Demon Gods in the past, and now that things had escalated into another dimension altogether, things are still the same, I am going to help them out because I am just that nice of a person.

I've always been an amazing person. I am a woman of god. Helping an extending my hand to Mammon was always my… goal. Indeed, I just decided to come to hell looking for him only to become his friend. I had never thought he would end up like this, I was totally expecting him to be the same as before… Y-Yeah.

"Of course! Let's become allies. I am actually… erm, I always had that intention with you! I came here just to become your ally and friend, and tell you how lovely and cute you are, Mammon-chan." I said.

"Oho? I don't believe you one single bit! I can see through your memories that you intended to eat me! Hehe, I know I am very tasty, I would also want to eat someone as strong as me. In fact, you're pretty strong, Kireina. Even if you're not enough to compare to me, you would make a nice afternoon snack." Said Mammon, he licked his lips with his long purple tongue.

"However! I am also a benevolent person myself! I don't see any point in eating you because I kind of like you. You're also incredibly narcissistic, you know? So now that I got your memories and your personality merged with me, I can't bring myself to kill my own self, even if you're not really my own self, get it? so I thought… What's better than just to make her my ally then? We can team up, beat up some baddies, get the girl at the end, and completely wreck this boring fucking place!" said Mammon, as he jumped over the table and raised his arms upward, smiling adorably.

"Has he always been like this, guu?" asked Rimuru to Plutus.

"N-No, my lord was never this… energetic before. In fact he was a very calm and composed man… B-But now that he had become a… better! Yes, better version of himself… he… he's very energetic, yes." Said Plutus. He was suddenly interrupted and intimidated midway through his words by the glare of Mammon. After being praised, Mammon nodded.

Indeed! He's very arrogant and narcissistic, just like me! He really just inherited my worst traits, but my worst traits are what made it possible for me to ally a being like this, who would had guessed?

"You've really inherited the worst of me, alright, I get it, and I understand how you feel about it. its better to cease arms against one another before even beginning to do it and just ally into the bigger picture. Although I am surprised, you're so inspired to take over everything… weren't you fine as you were before?" I asked.

"Well yes, but the competition of the Hell Layer Ranking is always there, even more the Archdemon Ranking and the Hell Points Ranking, since I got your memories and personality fused into mine that I've actually become even greedier than ever before, and I am obsessed with wrecking everyone and winning! I want victory above just riches, I really am greedy for glory! Get it? So you're going to become part of my Pandemonium of Archdemons and join the Hell Records as a new Archdemon Player! I guess all your family will also join too. I share your memories, so I also care about them… a bit!" said Mammon while nodding and patting my shoulders.

"Heheh, we are going to have lots of fun!" he said.
