’What did you say?’
After receiving the "call" from the Scorpius director and listening to his hurried explanation, Leon couldn’t help but ask in astonishnt:
’The nine angels regained their sanity? The Gluttonous Demon God and my so-called Church leader were captured by them as well?’
’Yes... they just revived not long ago, and the Gluttonous Demon God happened to co back to report...’
After briefly explaining the situation, the Scorpius director was silent for a mont, then couldn’t help but ask:
’Um... Aquarius, was everything you told before true? Did you really deal with over a hundred True Gods from the Slaughter King Association and captured five Original Sin Demon Gods?’
’Six.’
Glancing at the coffin from which snoring sounds emanated, Leon frowned:
’The Lazy Demon God was too lazy to fight , took one look and surrendered imdiately... So what’s the situation on your side? Is the Gluttonous Demon God and my so-called Church leader still alive? What about you and Virgo director, Capricorn director?’
’All captured...’
The Scorpius director replied helplessly:
’We, Capricorn and the others, are only under house arrest, but when the Gluttonous Demon God ca up, the nine angels were furious, and they gave it quite a beating, then had the Suffering Angel lock it up, probably being tortured now.
As for your Church leader... although it spoke out of turn, it did have the rit of reviving the nine angels, so it wasn’t tortured; however, every ti it wakes up, it shouts for you to bring divine punishnt upon the nine heretics, so it gets knocked out each ti it wakes up, the bump on its head is as large as a waterlon.’
’...’
Good heavens... I rember it originally looked like a ball, if there’s a big bump on it, doesn’t it beco a gourd?
Reflecting incredulously for a mont, Leon asked:
’So what’s your plan now?
How do the nine angels feel about you? Besides keeping you in check, is there anything else they’re doing? What about the [Lifespan] you recovered from Old Soil? Is that thing still safe?’
’Our plan... Capricorn wants to talk to the nine angels.’
After glancing at the Capricorn director arguing fiercely with the young angel, the Scorpius director continued through private chat via star dust:
’According to Capricorn, the nine angels can be negotiated with, they haven’t had a bad relationship with our Clearing Bureau in the past, even had so cooperation, no need to be hostile to them.
Although they don’t allow us to leave, their attitude is alright, and the [Lifespan] Virgo carries ans nothing to them, so there’s no unavoidable conflict between us and the nine angels...’
’So you and Virgo director think you can negotiate?’
’We... we think it’s worth a try?’
But hearing your emphasis, the situation seems not that simple...
Listening to the Scorpius director’s voice, which was so different from before, becoming hesitant, even a bit "sullen," Leon frowned and said:
’Did the nine angels agree to negotiate, but their conditions are very harsh?’
’Uh... they are indeed a bit harsh...’
’Are these conditions related to ?’
How did you know?!
Leon’s proactive revelation caught the Scorpius director by surprise, causing him to reflexively clench his fist before choosing to spill it all directly:
’Yes... the nine angels want to negotiate, but you must first co to Heavenly Mountain, help them deal with the polluted angels, and that Ang Shen church must be disbanded completely and never be reestablished.’
’That’s fine.’
Leon thought for a mont, then replied:
’That Ang Shen church wasn’t sothing I created, rely a coincidence, and I have no interest in angels from Heavenly Mountain, so this condition is not a problem.’
’Phew...’
Hearing Leon didn’t reject this condition, the Scorpius director sighed in relief, then continued with so difficulty:
’But besides this, there are other conditions...’
’What conditions? Help them deal with Original Sin Demon Gods?’
’Mm...’
The Scorpius director, feeling troubled, relayed:
’They want... hope you can suppress the seven Original Sin Demon Gods, let them place prohibitions on the seven, and imprison all these threatening demon gods, ideally even the others in Abyss Hundred Prisons, all managed by them.’
Imprison Demon Gods, huh...
’That’s fine too.’
After so thought, Leon said:
’Abyss is full of demons anyway, even if the nine angels didn’t ntion it, I didn’t plan to return the Original Sin Demon Gods to the Abyss after this ends, if they are willing to help manage, I have no objections.’
You’re agreeing to this too?
Surprised that Leon, known as a "staunch hawk" by Capricorn director, would be so agreeable, Scorpius director hesitated while Leon, thinking the conditions had ended, continued:
’These two conditions I can agree to, so what did the nine angels say? Agree to release you and ally with the Clearing Bureau, assist in ambushing the oncoming Crimson Overlord and Omnia Cicada?’
’Uh... that relates to their third condition.’
The Scorpius director replied helplessly:
’The nine angels don’t want to get involved in our affairs with Slaughter King Association, they want to rebuild their wasted Heavenly Mountain, requiring us to leave, either fight in the living world or Abyss, but not on Heavenly Mountain.’
’...’
So they’re taking advantage without responsibility, huh? These so-called angels, aren’t they acting like demons?
Though dissatisfied with the nine angels’ seemingly unscrupulous actions, considering the nine angels as Heavenly Mountain "natives," their reluctance to allow conflict on Heavenly Mountain is reasonable, Leon didn’t say much, responding with a frown:
’Alright, if they don’t want to help, just release you and the Furious Demon God... oh by the way, the Green and Red Kings haven’t arrived yet, but the living world is locked by [Yesterday’s Dwelling], we can’t enter for now, surely we need a battle with them.
After your release, take [Lifespan] and Zodiac directors to Abyss, we, plus seven Original Sin Demon Gods, are enough to deal with Crimson Overlord and Omnia Cicada.’
’...’
’...’
’...’
After waiting for a while without any response, Leon asked in disbelief:
’Is there sothing else? Do they have more demands?’
’No...’
Hesitating, then helplessly, the Scorpius director said:
’But the nine angels an for you to complete all conditions, disband Ang Shen church in front of those purple-skinned angels, hand over the Original Sin Demon Gods and leave Heavenly Mountain before they let us go, so we must face Slaughter King Association alone, can’t bring Original Sin Demon Gods along.
Also, according to Star Do Compass, Crimson Overlord and Omnia Cicada can arrive in two days at most, so we must complete these conditions within two days, otherwise...’
’Otherwise what? Hand you over to Slaughter King Association?’
’Mm...’
’...’
’...’
’6’
