Chapter 21 - Discussion about the Future

"That is a good idea. What are our prospects of the future for the war Lord Zekram? I have personally thought about weakening Church and Grigori on the Earth. We could release some of their confidential information to the several other Pantheons, they will do the dirty work for us. You should have surely thought about something like this."

I said as we were sitting and drinking tea in my library.

"Indeed. The Church is a great weapon of Heaven, though they are also, heavily relying on Heaven. If support of Heaven stops, they would have great problems with defending their own territories, especially those that were taken from other Pantheons, especially in northern countries and easter countries. Additionally, we could weaken their supply of Faith, meaning, they won't have as much of Divine Crystals, that are used to cultivate angels."

Similarly, as Devils were feeding on souls and negative emotions to gain quickly strength, Angels could do the same with Divine Crystals. Those were basically crystalized faith power, which is created by gathering it from followers. It is commonly used by gods to strengthen their Divine Power or create divine messengers, such as Angels.

Olympians use it to create various monsters, Aesir on the other side to strengthen Valkyries or Einherjar, and many many other uses. They could be used in Divine Magic or Holy Magic to boost up its power. And most importantly, they are used in strengthening the Divine Kingdom. That was the reason, why Heaven was practically an impenetrable fortress in Draconic Deus.

The amount of Divine Crystals, used in strengthening Heaven, was eclipsing other Pantheons easily.

"I have thought about selling this information to Asgard, Takagahamara, Vampires, and Olympians. Those prideful greeks have lost many followers to the Church, and the same could be said about Aesir. Vampires would be glad to take revenge upon Church and Takagamara wants to cleanse their territory from the influence of Church that is lurking in Japan."

I stated my opinion, about which Pantheon and Faction should contact.

"Problematic part is, someone needs to go there and negotiate. It would be best if we went there personally. Most problematic ones to communicate with are Olympians and Vampires, so I will contact them. They are not something young devil should bother with."

Said Zekram, and I just nodded in agreement and gratefulnmess. I was aware it was very hard to communicate with stubborn Greek Gods, which was probably more arrogant than Four Satans altogether. Vampires were the same, and I didn't even know their lcoation.

On the other hand, communication with Asgard and Takagahamara was far easier. From what I heard, Odin was a pretty reasonable god, and the same could be said about Amaterasu who was God-Queen of Shinto Pantheon.

"So. That will leave me with Asgard and Takagahamara. I will make it done. Should we also, exchange intelligence, we have gathered? The more damage Grigori and Heaven suffer from hands of other Pantheons, the better."

I know it sounded a bit hypocritical. I was aware of the fact, as weaker we got, I mean whole Three Factions, the worse situation in the future would be for us. On the other hand, nobody would stop the upcoming war just because, I had several very good arguments, that we could be easily targeted of Factions that have Beings of Law. Nobody would listen to me, and there is a high probability of being branded as a traitor. So for now, the only thing I could do is follow the flow.

"Young Lucifer... what do you think, we should do if hypothetically Four Satans perish in the war?"

Asked me Zekram with a glint in his eyes, while I fell into deep thought.

"Kill their descendants, for reason mentioned, and ally ourselves with species that are not part of any factions, as Dragon Clans and Oni Tribes to create a strong nation. During the war, we will lose countless devils, and after the war, I don't doubt descendants of the Satans would be hell-bent on continuing the war. That needs to be prevented at all costs. This war isn't about who will win, as I think nobody will win. Everyone will suffer, subsequently, creating a ceasefire to recuperate losses on lives. My thought is, there are many dragon flocks that would be a great addition to us if we were to create a new nation upon the ashes of the old one. Same could be said about Oni Tribes living in the Underworld. Even in nature, they are similar to us."

Just one word from Great Red and it would be done. Unfortunately for them, and fortunately for us, we could recruit them to create a Faction together. When you think about it, Dragons are pretty similar to us, Devils.

Both of our species are power-hungry, we want to be stronger than anybody, we are greedy and we are also l.u.s.tful. Just a great combination together.

Zekram was thinking deeply about what I said. He was in a deep dilemma. He deeply respected Four Satans, for what they have done, they have built the Devil Race and cultivated it where it is now. On the other side, he was a pragmatist and was aware of the fact, that they are leading us toward our death, albeit slowly, but for sure.

He was aware that if we continued slowly, devils would be destroyed either by other factions or in endless civil wars that would come.

"I have decided."

Said a Zekram with a deep and stern voice.
