Chapter 379  Chapter 371: Walpurgis Nacht (3)

"You know, don't you?" I repeated. But they were not going to answer. "What you need is not blood, but the attention of spirits."

The three realms were all governed by spirits.

I snapped my fingers and the space around me started to bend. Strands of light filled my sight as the spirits all around the place gathered. I couldn't change the skies, no, but making a door or two was no big deal.

"This…"

"Is this true, chancellor?"

Agares came to my side.

"What the kid said is correct."

"Gramps…"

"For real… all this time?"

"There were things like spirits?"

"Oh, aren't you young?"

There was much more weight in the words of a person everyone called gramps as compared to someone who was referred to by his title.

"So do you suggest," It was Vassago who spoke next. The top ten were all pretty old, their reaction was expected. "That we go and attack the humans right now?"

I shook my head.

"There is no need to do that."

The others all turned our way.

A sigh escaped Bael's lips as he shook his head.

"I thought his words had weight, but this is just a useless endeavor."

"I already know," I cut him off. "As long as humans exist, we have no chance of winning against the gods, right?"

The other demons all stood up, many in rage. Barbatos instead of just crying clenched my shirt and started sobbing in my chest.

"This little cunt is getting full of herself."

"It's probably a nature thing, darling. Alright, all of you, sit back down."

"How dare you say something like that—"

"It's the truth." I declared. "You already know, the more faith that is directed toward a god the stronger they will become."

Sitri laughed.

"And the more fear toward us the stronger WE will get. This is a balanced relationship—"

"Is it?"

I said again. As calmly as I could while patting Barbatos.

This time too.

My eyes were on Lucifuge.

"Is it, grand chancellor?"

The grand chancellor placed a hand on his forehead and chuckled.

"Years… years of being a demon lord and all of it was placed on halt by just one new kid. So many people have been believing us for centuries… how did you figure out the truth?"

"Wait… what?"

Sitri stepped back.

"You mean… this is a lie?"

I had a slight assist from someone else.

"I figured when I turned into one," I told them. And they nodded.

"What the kid is saying is the truth," Bael sighed. "It's something many of you must know."

Quite a few of the older ones nodded.

But the younger demon lords were all shocked, including Bathym.

"M-my liege…" he said. "What is this… then. What about our authority? Don't we get it from others' fear? Wasn't that the case for you? People were too afraid of your power and—"

Lucifuge shook his head.

"That is not the case… A demon's authority, is chosen by the nature of their self. It all depends on what you fear, not anybody else. We are… the most self-reliant and serving species after all."

"Then…" Bathym raised his hands and looked at himself. "I was… scared of medicine? Grand Chancellor, do you realize how that sounds—"

"You are not afraid of medicine," He shook his head. "You are afraid of the person who created you. By causing a plague in hundreds of other demons."

I lowered my head slightly, the sobbing of Barbatos was strangely calming.

The Demon Lords were all greatly shocked.

Bael sighed once more.

We were back to a family dinner, and Bael and Lucifuge seemed to be the parents handling all of this while Gramps and his three others reminded me of old people of the previous generation.

It may even be so that Agares was once in that position.

"No matter what we do," the ranked demon lord, the strongest of them all, said out loud. "We won't win against the gods. Not as long as humans exist. And none of us want to wipe out another race, do we?"

The demons all slumped in their chairs, many did.

"Then we'll just become what they think of us."

These demons.

"And even now, that hasn't changed." Bael looked at me this time, the same trick that I had used. "You may wish for it, but we can't Had always been the most trustable of all I had seen. The days I had spent with Noa here were irreplaceable.

The ones that were like a rotting branches, I had already taken care of them.

"We have seen more than a demon lord or two give up on their life when this comes to light," Lucifuge said. "Instead of living like wronged, caged birds that could only look at the sky… we made the cage our world."

"And even now, that hasn't changed." Bael looked at me this time, the same trick that I had used. "You may wish for it, but we can't leave. All this has achieved has made more people aware of our hopelessness. There is nothing… we can do."

All the demons stared at each other with widened eyes. Unable to process what was going down.

And it was acceptable.

They were all confused, and helpless.

I slammed the table and stood up.

"Foolish, foolish demons."

All of them stared at me in shock and surprise.

"You don't know who I am, so you think there's nothing we can do."

"What do you mean, kid?" Agares said, breaking his fairly long silence. "Are you suggesting we wage war on humans? After seeing how that principal of yours was? We will win, for sure, but with such casualties, defeating the gods will just be a dream—"

"Shut it, gramps. My problems and threats are too big for your little pesky squabble or whatever you have going on."

"Eugy! You're a fucking riot!"

I stepped away from the chair and stretched my hands above my head as I walked to the window.

"I have a much bigger threat that you are all going to help me take care of. This god, human, demon, heaven, hell bullshit matters little to me."

Through the windows, the sight of people driving in on motorcycles entered. And behind them…

"EUGENE!!!! WE BROUGHT THEM!!"

"WOOOHOOO!"

… were the enormous legions of hell.

All the demon lords widened their eyes.

"I brought your armies here. I do not suggest we go at the humans, no. I suggest all of us go to heaven."

I turned back and faced them all.

"And crush those pesky gods. Right now."

"D-did you not hear anything, brat? We can't win against the gods

—"

"Oh, you don't have to."

There was no need.

"I'll do it."
