Chapter 538: Everyone was involved. 2
"Everything and everyone has a price. Even beings like the 5 regulators of existence are the same. We just needed to find the correct currency."
"...."
"Vlad, he got Lilith!"
Vlad's eyes glowed brighter, and his dark face distorted.
He attacked again, this time using even more force, but the only thing that happened was everything shook before his overwhelming force, and everything in front of Vlad had been erased from existence.
His attack, despite being sudden, was calculated. Proof of this is that only the roof of the castle broke due to the pressure of the wind. If he had attacked towards the ground, a catastrophe would have happened.
"Like I said, it's useless." Baal was carefree.
"Demon." An annoyed growl was heard, and the pressure increased, even more, Morgana had trouble standing, and her breathing was heavy.
"... Pfft, Hahaha" Baal completely ignored Vlad's threat. "Unfortunately, we both know you can't do that. Destroying thousands of souls will break the balance, and even though he's your friend, he won't let that happen. "
"Goodbye Vlad, we met a few years ago. If all goes well, all your territories are in political chaos right now because a lot of small members were killed. If it doesn't work out... Well, My King sent a message."
Baal's face became serious, and he replied:
"Do not interfere." Then, Baal threw something in Morgana's direction.
"... A contract."
"A demon contract signed by my king, follow my king's words, and do not interfere in the war by taking a side against demons or trying to destroy demons in doing so."
"In less than a year, you will have your daughter back. You have my word and that of my king that not even a single hair of hers will be hit."
"...." Vlad's face visibly distorted. Even though he was angry and wanted to strangle this demon like a chicken, he easily realized the political implications that Diablo forced on him.
If the war grows more and goes on for a long time, alliances will be made.
And the world can be divided again, after all, few beings agree to ally themselves with demons, and these beings are just evil gods and their servants.
And if the evil gods who own literal hells do that, the royal gods of their respective pantheons won't keep silent, and likely, an alliance will be formed between them as well.
'If the evil gods have really allied themselves with Diablo, the world will be split into two sides, and peace will be completely over. By asking me not to interfere, he's basically asking to become a neutral faction.
... And a neutral faction in times of war only survives if they are very strong.
Supernatural history proves it, and Vlad knows it too.
'It's a trap. No matter what I do or the decisions I make, he's already set the stage. He's just inviting the actors now.'
Of course, this 'invitation' is not a kind invitation but a forced one.
I took a side, I have allies, I am strong. How about you? What will you do?
That's basically what he was saying.
'How did he get the cooperation of these beings? What 'currency' did he use?'
A black portal appeared, and Vlad narrowed his eyes.
It was the same portal that Diablo came out of at the meeting.
'He wasn't lying. Only beings of the same level as my friend can interfere in his realm where he is basically omnipotent.'
"Goodbye, Vlad~" Baal flashed a small, gentle smile and left.
"Bastard-" The last thing he heard was Morgana's scream.
????
Appearing in front of Diablo, he saw that his king was looking back at holograms. At a glance, he could see that it was the report of what happened in the other territories.
"My King, I came back. The mission was a failure, and I failed to capture the two eldest daughters. I only managed to catch Lilith, the daughter of Lilith's former general."
"...That's enough, ensure the hostage's safety, make sure no harm is done to her."
"Are you sure?"
"...." Diablo just raised his demonic gaze to Baal.
"I mean, she's quite a beauty, the genes of a succubus are in her, she'd probably make some hordes of strong demons."
"If you harm the progenitor's daughter, Vlad Dracul Tepes."
"The probability of this man attacking us regardless of the rules, his country, or even his plans is very high."
"...." Baal made a difficult face.
"This is unexpected, has your assessment changed?"
"Vlad has changed... From a king who only cared about his upbringing, he is starting to care deeply about his children. This feeling is so great that the possibility of him giving up everything to get revenge for his daughter is high. "
"And I don't want to risk provoking a suicidal enemy right now while my plans are in the early stages."
"...What was the cause of this change?"
Another hologram appeared, and the image of a handsome man with short black hair and violet eyes was revealed.
"Victor Alucard, the second progenitor."
"He is the cause of change."
"...A mere child influenced the most stubborn vampire in history?"
"...." Diablo's silence was his statement.
"How is this possible?"
"He is, after all, a man who was born with the most terrifying weapon anyone can be born with."
????
"Charisma."
An awkward silence fell around the room, as the two eldest demons knew how dangerous this 'weapon' was, since they had an example of their own.
The former king of hell, Lucifer, the 'morningstar', the most beautiful angel in heaven, was a being who had it.
Diablo doesn't doubt that if Lucifer suddenly appeared, and said: 'hey, demons, will you follow me one more time?'
More than 60% of Diablo's strength will disappear in a snap. That was the power of charisma.
Not even Lilith, the mother of demons, has that charisma.
"Keep an eye on Alucard. I want to know his every move, he's a dangerous figure."
"Yes, My King."
"...If I find an opportunity to kill Alucard, should I do it?"
"..." Diablo thought for a moment and replied, "Yes."
"But only act if you're 100% sure of that. Besides being charismatic, that man smells like a 'hero'."
"...If he isn't defeated instantly and killed... He will come back, and when he comes back... He will be much stronger."
"Only attack with the certainty that you can kill him, and keep in mind that he is a progenitor, old or young. Don't get arrogant."
"...." Baal just nodded his head seriously. If his king warned him, it was because he saw something that Baal didn't.
From the beginning, Baal relied on the intelligence and cunning of the 'incarnation' of evil.
"Tell me your report. I want to know everything that happened in detail, and when you're done, go take care of our prisoners and make sure nothing happens to them."
"Yes."
????
Lilith slowly opened her eyes, feeling dizzy and confused.
"Ohh, she finally woke up." The woman's strange voice was strangely distant.
Lilith leaned on the ground, and suddenly when she remembered what happened, she quickly jumped off the ground and was on guard.
"Ugh."
"Whaa, whaa, don't move so much. You've gone through several dimensions and your senses will take a while to adjust."
"Tsk, Tsk, just leave that bitch there. She won't help at all."
"Shut up, prince of dogs!"
"Hmmm!? What did you say, flat earth!? Do you want to fight, bitch?"
"Oh? I would love to punch that smug face of yours!"
Lilith, who was fully awake, looked at the two individuals, precisely speaking... two children, and looked around her.
The little girl was wearing a red dress with gold accents, and had long black hair tied in twintails, with a fringe across her forehead.
She had white skin color and blue eyes with 'magic patterns' that kept floating around her eyes, causing a very uncomfortable sensation.
The boy had a chocolate skin tone, slicked-up black hair, and black eyes, wearing a child's suit.
He was disdainful and annoying, all in all, he looked like a young nobleman.
She was in some sort of dorm with three single beds, and various gadgets from the human world, like a television, a video game console and a refrigerator.
She could see three portals in this room, one door had the symbol of a man and one of a woman, those were the bathroom.
And the other would probably be the way out of this place.
"... Who are you?" Lilith asked.
"Hmm? Oh..." The two stopped fighting and the little girl introduced herself.
"My name is Emily! Emily Moriarthy, the biological daughter of the witch queen!" She patted her flat chest proudly.
"...." Lilith opened her eyes in shock.
"Hey, stupid dog, introduce yourself. Don't be rude either."
"Ugh…fuck."
"Language. You're too young to swear!"
"We are the same age!"
"I'm more mature!"
? "...." The boy looked at the flat land in silence...
"I don't think so."
Following the boy's eyes, a vein popped in Emily's head:
"Fuck you!"
Realizing that they were going to fight again, Emily stopped and spoke with anger bubbling through her head:
"Just introduce yourself! Stop being anti-social! Aren't you a damn prince!?"
"Ugh, fine, my name is Thomas. Thomas Fenrir, third son of Volk Fenrir, the werewolf king, and Tasha Fenrir, the werewolf queen... Happy now?"
"Umu." She nodded, satisfied.
"Ugh, I swear, the biggest annoyance about being kidnapped is having your fucking company."
"Fufufu~."
"...." Lilith just looked at all of this in shock.
