Chapter 892: Second Great Devil Conference



Purpleflame Territory, Stonehenge

Shortly after Thanatos summoned the Great Devils to an emergency meeting, only Mephistopheles, Astarte, and Balmodan rocked up.

Hecate and Helcan were both missing. They couldn't attend on such a short notice.

"Where's Helcan and Hecate?" Thanatos asked with visible dissatisfaction. The most important parties weren't present.

"Helcan is still on his way back from the Everfrost Realm. It'll take him a few more hours to return. Hecate, on the other hand, has entered secluded cultivation. It's uncertain when she will emerge," Mephistopheles answered.

"Oh?" Astarte immediately raised her eyebrow with interest.

"At our level, it's difficult for us to achieve any improvement from secluded cultivation. As such, we rarely engage in such activities unless we gain some insights or receive some enlightenment."

"Could it be that Hecate is trying to advance to Rank 7?" Astarte casually guessed.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"How is that possible?" Mephistopheles immediately dismissed the idea, saying, "Even if Hecate is talented, advancing to Rank 7 so suddenly just isn't possible."

"Why do you say that, Mephisto?" Balmodan asked with genuine curiosity.

Compared to the other Great Devils, he could be considered the least knowledgeable one. As such, he was genuinely curious about where Mephistopheles's confidence stemmed from.

His opinion didn't seem like a mindless statement.

"Just think about it. Gehenna has produced countless Rank 7 Divine Beings in the past," Mephistopheles mentioned.

"Why is it that when it comes to our generation, not a single one of us is able to overcome the bottleneck? Is it because we are untalented and have already exhausted our potential?"

"I don't believe it," Mephistopheles stated defiantly, adding, "Lord Thanatos is the master of death. His understanding of the Death Law has long transcended the power of a Rank 7."

"Hecate is even more talented, having mastery of several laws. Her law comprehension could be said to be the best out of us. Someone like her shouldn't be stuck at Peak Rank 6 like the rest of us."

"Then, there is also Abaddon. Although he is dead now, we have come to learn that he had comprehended the Asura Law. Even if his talent was absolute trash, the Asura Law should have helped him overcome his limits."

"That is why countless beings desire to comprehend the Asura Law. Does it make sense that even he failed to ascend to the realm of Divine Knights?" Mephistopheles questioned.

Hecate might really be trying to advance to Rank 7.

She was the only Great Devil to have stood on Vaan Raphna's side and assisted him. As a result, she might have received some benefits that could aid her advancement from the latter.

Thanatos believed it was completely possible.

After all, Vaan Raphna, who they thought was just a mere Demigod, turned out to be a mighty Peak Divine Knight.

His insights on Rank 7 advancement would be very valuable knowledge.

"Anyway, we didn't come here to talk about the Purpleflame Terriority's history with the Skymagia Royal Family," Mephistopheles suddenly stated before turning to Thanatos to ask, "Why did you urgently summon us today, Lord Thanatos?"

Once the question was raised, Astarte and Balmodan had no choice but to shift their attention to Thanatos despite their desire to continue on the topic they discussed. Meanwhile, Thanatos gave everyone a look before solemnly informing them, "There are a few things all of you should know. Vaan Raphna has ascended the seat of Heavenly Devil and has been given the territories of Purpleflame, Darksea Abyss, Evernight, and Pangea."

"I suggest that all of you pull out your forces from those territories and return any benefit you have exploited from them, especially the Evernight Territory," Thanatos solemnly

recommended.

However, despite his seriousness, he failed to produce an immediate response.

Whether it was Mephistopheles, Astarte, or Balmodan, they were completely dumbfounded

by Thanatos's announcement.

Such an explosive piece of news had completely caught them off guard.

"What! How can you do that, Lord Thanatos?! Didn't we agree to test Vaan Raphna's

qualification to become one of us? Why is he suddenly a Heavenly Devil with so many

territories?!"

Mephistopheles was evidently outraged by Thanatos's decision.

Even so, he still acted with great restraint.

Otherwise, he would have cursed, 'Did you find out Vaan Raphna was your long-lost grandson or something? You wouldn't even give such preferential treatment to your own ancestors!'
