Chapter 563 - "Those Who Are Prepared"
After saying this in her usual tone, Shalltear sat down in a seat that the nine people in the room left vacant, while Pandora sat down next to her.
After confirming that their lord is seated, the other members of the Ten Demons returned to their seats.
[Now then, I’m sorry for calling all of you here on such short notice today. Well, I’m sure everyone is busy with their own stuff, so let’s get down to business…… or so I’d like to say, but today’s matter is a bit difficult. Let’s check everyone’s thoughts first after hearing what I say before I give you your commands.]
As Shalltear spoke in a light tone, the Ten Demons just quietly waited for their lord to continue.
[……Six months from now, there’s a pretty high probability that “there will be a great battle against the God Realm”. And if my prediction is correct…… We’re not just going to fight the Gods that everyone knows of. We would probably be fighting “all of the Gods that have been explosively strengthened by Shallow Vernal-sama’s power”.]
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [……………………] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
[For this time, there is no penalty for not participating. After all, by my estimation…… there will be about “800 Lower-ranked Gods who would become as strong as Count-ranks, 200 Higher-ranked Gods who would become about as strong as some of the Six Kings”and…… “Three Supreme Gods who have gained power far beyond the Six Kings”. These would be our enemies. To be honest, I can’t guarantee your lives in this battle.]
Yes, this time, the dimension is different from the previous battle between the Demon Realm and the God Realm. After all, “Shallow Vernal is seriously trying to win” this time. Shalltear guessed that Shallow Vernal would at least strengthen her own soldiers, the Gods.
Especially when it came to the three Supreme Gods, one couldn’t even imagine how much power they gained to confront them.
[Of course, all Six Kings will be participating, while I’m setting things up behind the scenes for that time but…… Well, it will be a difficult fight. It’s not even on the level where you could describe it as a fight on a hard mode. That’s why, let’s check everyone’s thoughts…… I repeat, there is no penalty for not participating. So, let’s start with Pandora.]
[Of course, I’m going to participate. All of my power is for Shalltear-sama’s sake……]
[I see…… Then, Gluttony.]
[Just like Pandora, I’m participating.]
[……Pandemonium.]
[There’s one thiiiiiing~~ I want to make sure ooooof……]
Pandora and Gluttony, Shalltear’s fanatical followers readily agreed, while Pandemonium, when asked, stopped sewing and spoke.
[That baaaaaattle~~ Is it alriiiiiight to think that Kaito-samaaaa is related to thiiiiiis?]
[Yes.]
[If that’s the caaaaaase~~ I’ll participaaaaate. I’ll leave my actioooons to Shalltear-samaaaaa. Please use my liiiiiife as you see fiiiiiit.]
[I understand.]
Naturally, Shalltear also knows that Pandemonium has taken a liking to Kaito. That’s why nodded in understanding upon hearing Pandemonium’s words telling her to use her life as she saw fit.
Thereupon, Pandemonium dropped her gaze and resumed sewing, as if to say that the conversation ended there. She felt that this question isn’t something that doesn’t even need to be asked in the first place.
Pandemonium loves Kaito with all her heart. And she has sworn to always be on Kaito’s side…… and to give her everything to Kaito. She held no hesitation risking her life for his sake.
[Then, next would be Phantom?]
[………………….]
The Phantom silently nodded in response to Shalltear’s words.
[Catastro?]
[……Fumu, incidentally, any special bonus for this mission?]
[I’ll give you lots of bonuses.]
[Well then, I guess I’ll participate.]
[Astaroth?]
“Of course, I’m participating.”
[What about you, Moloch?]
[I will participate. My life is for Shalltear-sama……]
Putting aside Catastro, who was always in need of money, decided to participate upon hearing about the special bonus, Astaroth and Moloch, who are also Shalltear’s fanatics, announced their participation without any hesitation.
[Phenex?]
“I’m interested in how strong the Gods were after they’re strengthened, so I will participate.”
[What about you, Tiamat?]
[Battling is a sad thing……but the thought of my comrades getting hurt makes me sadder, so I will participate and become their shield.]
[And lastly, Lilim?]
[……It will look like I’m someone who can’t read the mood if I don’t go. I’ll participate.]
Phenix calmly responded. Meanwhile, Tiamat nods with tears streaming down her face…… and Lilim responded with a chuckle as she fiddled with her hair.
With her agreement, all of the Ten Demons agreed to participate in the battle against the God Realm.
[……Well then, I’ll tell you what each of you will be doing and countermeasures against particular Gods that everyone needs to look out for.]
At the same time as Shalltear is having a meeting with the Ten Demons to prepare for the coming battle in the Demon Realm…… In the Sanctuary, the highest peak of the God Realm……
[……What’s the matter, Shiro? It’s quite unusual for Shiro to call me.]
[Yes, I wanted to talk to you about something…… Thank you for coming, Kuro.]
The story of a young man…… Kaito.
And now, the confrontation between the “beginning” and the “end” starts.
