Chapter 909: The acceptance of Métis.
While dinner progressed with music that was pleasant to the ears, and a soft and very comfortable atmosphere.
The heavenly father, and Ariel internally can't help but think again that this is a completely different place than the old hell was.
In fact it would be an insult to compare the current hell with the old hell.
The lively climate, the well-developed society with its own economic power and influence, produces better entertainment than humans on Earth. Everything was completely different.
Instead of being in hell, they think they are on a completely different planet with beings that look like demons. Although this fleeting thought only appeared for a moment, after all, the miasma of hell could not be hidden from light beings like them.
Even though they were feeling quite complex about the current hell, they couldn't help but think that the current hell was completely self-sustaining.
Which means that the angel alliance has no political power for Victor, the heavenly father and Ariel completely understood if it weren't for the future threat from beings from a higher level sector than theirs, Victor wouldn't even have thought about accepting this alliance. n(.o/-v-.e)/l//b--I)-n
After all, let's be honest, what does Victor gain from this alliance? Influence? His very existence as the being who holds the divinity of Begin and Negativity already puts him with a lot of power of influence in his hands, the same could be said of his faction called The Dragon Nest.
A faction made up of several beings, the main ones being demons and dragons. And not just any type of ordinary dragon race, but real dragons controlled by the Progenitor of dragons.
The more Heavenly Father and Ariel learn about hell in this casual conversation, the more they realize they have nothing to offer Victor. In other words, their alliance was expendable...
'...Is that why he didn't readily accept the deal?' Ariel couldn't help but think about it.
After all, unlike Amaterasu, who he immediately accepted as an ally, the angels would be in a 50-year waiting period for Victor to 'organize' the house, words spoken by the man himself.
They would have to wait 50 years to have a deep alliance! And that was unacceptable!
Even though they wouldn't immediately become enemies due to the good relationship between the angels and demons, they couldn't rely on that feeling, they needed something concrete.
After all, what guarantees that tomorrow Victor's feelings will change, and he will decide to attack the angels? Even if they didn't want to think about it, the Show's presentation of Lilith openly talking about her 'hatred' for angels and her heavenly father left the thought that demons still harbored negative feelings towards angels.
...Which was obvious, even the angel himself had bad feelings towards the demons, such an old rivalry cannot be erased that easily.
The angels and demons are not warring now because their own leaders forbade it, if not for that, they were sure these two races would be at war.
And in this hypothetical war, they would be completely outmatched.
"...Sure." Caught by surprise by Victor's sudden question, the heavenly father responded positively, the more information he gathers on this trip, the better it will be for him, therefore, he did not refuse.
And if the heavenly father goes, Ariel as her bodyguard will also go, after all, she needs to protect this man... When she remembered this fact, she began to grumble internally.
'Because of his abrupt decision to quickly come to hell, we are without any protection.' If this man decided to do something, they would be completely helpless.
...Though with his current level of strength, he could do anything, and most beings would be completely powerless to stop him.
Victor was currently one of the strongest existences in this sector, and according to his personality, he wouldn't do something like that unless they provoked him first.
But Ariel wouldn't trust that, after all, she is a general, and she needs to protect her father, therefore, she prefers to play it safe.
In the midst of her thoughts of distrust, and of responsibility, she couldn't help but unconsciously say entirely when she put the food in her mouth: '...Ah, this food is really very good.' She never thought that she would genuinely like the food of the hell... Something is wrong with this situation.
In fact, something is completely wrong with the world, all common sense seems to have been thrown out the window because of the appearance of this abnormal being. Ariel narrows her angelic eyes at Victor, in response Victor just smiles naturally.
A smile that makes the Virtue of Generosity slightly ashamed of her inner thoughts, after all, while Victor was treating them with generosity, she was returning this attitude with distrust.
...
Following Victor towards the demon king's castle, the group couldn't help but look at the scenery with a distracted gaze.
Currently, they were floating above the city at a rather leisurely pace, despite having said that he had something to do regarding his commander, Victor did not rush as they expected, instead, he went quite slowly to show everyone your city.
A gesture that Ariel once again noticed, and it made her feel bad for having bad thoughts for Victor when he was such a perfect host.
When she compared his attitude and that of the demons, with the attitude of the angels...
...Compared to the splendid hospitality, good food, wonderful city, the angels just pointed the gun at Victor, she was lucky not to have the sky on fire right now.
After comparing the two, she couldn't help but wonder why the sky seemed like such a terrible place? Shouldn't it be the other way around!?
Due to her satisfied stomach, she simply forgot a single simple fact, Victor suddenly appeared in the sky thus warning everyone of a possible enemy, the angels' reaction was not wrong.
Such a reaction would also be likely if an angel invaded the demons' territory without warning. But due to her satisfied state, her thoughts towards Victor, she completely forgot about this fact.
