Chapter 255

It was a forum for only those who were trusted by the Demon Gods, yet extraordinarily, Muyoung was able to attend .

As it was Muyoung who had planned it in the first place, it was a natural thing, if anything could be said to be natural .

‘All veterans . ’

Hiding his energy, Muyoung examined their faces . Someday, it was possible that he might have to face them as adversaries .

And this was the best opportunity to study the Demon Gods .

There was definitely a difference between learning through Dantalian’s dreams and through direct personal encounters .

Furthermore, the energies of the four Demon Gods were not ordinary, either . If he was to simply compare their divinity only, they would be similar to Lerajie’s .

They, indeed, looked like the ones who have endured the coalition faction’s persistent assaults .

The cunning eyes . As they weren’t hiding their own energies, their auras were sharp . It appeared obvious even without engaging them .

‘Such individuals were neglecting the challenging times that Gremory was facing . ’

Of course, it probably wasn’t easy for them to mobilize . However, they did not help Gremory from Lerajie’s threats . They haphazardly gathered only after verifying the demises of Haures and Lerajie .

Most likely, they probably thought that it would be tough for Gremory to withstand it .

Possibly, they were monitoring the coalition faction’s side and were looking for the right time .

‘The wind has changed directions . They probably gathered, thinking that way . ’

Their movements were quick . Everyone gathered within only about 10 days .

In other words, they weren’t to be completely trusted .

Even Gremory, probably, also knew that too well . She wasn’t expecting their help in the first place, anyway .

They seemed really curious . They were sensing that Gremory must have something with which she ended the battles with Lerajie and Haures .

However, with the mentioning of the name Solomon, they were taken aback .

Murumuru, the skinny demon who was dressed in light black, spoke .

“Solomon… He really appeared in the demon world?”

Taking some time, Gremory spoke .

“He was the one who also destroyed Haures and Lerajie . To be precise, he and Diablo . ”

The appearance of Diablo . Even they had ears to hear . They already knew about the fact that Diablo had incinerated Haures with fire .

But, they didn’t realize that Solomon was involved in the shadows .

Was it Solomon who was the involved 3rd party?

“But then, why Gremory, why are you whole?”

“He and I have made a deal . ”

“A deal, a deal!”

“You made a deal with a thug . That is disappointing . ”

“He would want our destruction?”

The demon gods protested . Although everything was going as it was scripted, the hatred towards Solomon was beyond Muyoung’s expectation .

Gremory responded calmly .

“Solomon wasn’t able to move directly . Instead, he was controlling Diablo . Perhaps, the effects of the Lemegeton’s books seemed to be setting limits on him . ”

Everyone shut their mouths and attentively listened to Gremory .

Business was business and personal business was personal . It was very upsetting for them, yet they were curious about the real story .

“His ultimate objective was elimination of Baal . He said that he would step down once the one, who stole the book of Lemegeton, was punished . ”

“Simply put… . ”

“He would only attack the coalition faction . ”

Those who believed in Baal were the coalition faction .

Gremory’s faction was those who came out against his position .

Naturally, they did not have many reasons to oppose to Baal’s elimination .

Murumuru asked again .

“So Haures and Lerajie were eliminated? And hoped that we would join?”

“That’s right . ”

“However, afterwards? I don’t think he would leave us alone . Wasn’t there already a precedent?”

By precedent, it meant the erasing of the humanity from the face of the Earth .

Gremory closed her eyes briefly .

“He had conditions . Not to leave the demon world . Not to increase the population of demons . ”

“… . ”

Everyone was again silent .

It was the first time that Muyoung has heard about this, yet this would not be believed to be a lie .

It was because Haures wasn’t eliminated and Solomon would expect nothing in return .

‘Even if I didn’t propose it first, the plan had been to stir up the anti-coalition faction . ’

It seemed that Gremory has been planning exactly the same thing as what Muyoung had proposed . Would she have said the same words here even without Muyoung’s presence?

All that Muyoung did was that he has added the concept of ‘uniting every tribe’ .

Certainly, it was more complex .

He kept himself on his toes . Gremory knew much more . If he was to be swept away by Gremory, he would lose his leadership .

Intelligence was Muyoung’s power .

However, it wasn’t at that moment .

‘Dantalian’s memory has been becoming perfect little by little . By taking in more of the demon gods’ powers, the ability to recall the memory would become more complete . ’

It felt like that he would reach that truth after eliminating few demon gods and absorbing their powers .

The scattered memory of Dantalian was becoming more vivid after absorbing the ‘divinity’ of Lerajie .

‘Would it be accepted?’

The truth would come out in the process of working things out . Muyoung’s immediate interest was on their choice .

It would be very degrading if what Gremory was saying was the truth . In an ordinary situation, not accepting it would be normal .

“If it is that, it doesn’t seem too bad . ”

“If there is a definite trust with respect to the deal… . ”

The opposite was the result .

Muyoung couldn’t help, but cringe in response to this part . Despite the fact that it was a very degrading deal, their attitude was that they would accept the terms .

Even though a common enemy, it appeared that the natural ‘fear’ of Solomon seemed to be lingering on, or the memory of their enemy when they were humans has not been erased .

Unlike the coalition faction, the anti-coalition faction’s principle was that it didn’t matter even if they remained in the demon world .

“There is a being that has his trust . ”

Gremory turned her attention .

Muyoung was at the other end of her attention .

“It is Muyoung, the Demon King of Ash Gray . ”

Every demon god’s eyes turned to Muyoung .

This was not part of the script .

Ha!

He exclaimed inwardly .

At the same time, Muyoung understood .

This was a test, an ordeal, and a chain that would bind him .

‘Gremory… you will not permit things to go only my way . ’
