Chapter 894: Second Great Devil Conference (3)



Although Astarte still decided to investigate in her own time, she no longer intended to leave the meeting after careful consideration.

After all, the Great Devil Conference was rarely held unless there were important matters to discuss. Astarte didn't want to miss out on any important information that may be further discussed.

The Heavenly Devil's enthronement, territory allocation, and Peak Divine Knight being were all significant matters that had only been mentioned so far. There was still much to discuss about them, even if Astarte had yet to confirm Vaan Raphna's strength for herself.

Her opinion was not important at the present meeting, only Thanatos's.

Thanatos calmly observed the expressions of Mephistopheles, Astarte, and Balmodan. After he confirmed their intention to listen further, he nodded before continuing the meeting.

"Since everyone present is up to date on the news, we will now discuss what we, the Great Devils of Gehenna, should do with Vaan Raphna as our Heavenly Devil, moving forward," Thanatos addressed.

"A Peak Divine Knight is, by no means, trivial, especially one who is also an Asura Law-user. After all, that is a future Divine Lord. For Gehenna to have such a powerful backer would put its position at the very top of the Skymagia Star Kingdom."

"That also means Gehenna would have to choose between becoming the Skymagia Star Kingdom's Guardian Realm or competing to overthrow the current sovereignty," Thanatos spoke hypothetically.

Astarte immediately frowned before saying, "This seems like both an opportunity and a trial. Succeed and enjoy unprecedented glory, or fail and suffer eternal damnation."

"If the Skymagia Royal Family had truly been suppressing Gehenna, they would definitely not watch our realm rise," Mephistopheles mentioned with a grave look.

"The Skymagia Royal Family will never give our realm a chance to produce a Divine Lord capable of threatening their sovereignty. So, if they learn about the Heavenly Devil's power, we should expect endless troubles."

"We better prepare for such scenarios," Mephistopheles resolutely suggested.

The thought of betraying the Heavenly Devil for self-preservation did not cross his mind.

Asura Law users were more frightening than Soul Masters.

Powerful Soul Masters might choose to kill if offended, but powerful Asura Law users will definitely kill if offended.

Thanatos couldn't help but agree.

"You have a point, Astarte," Thanato nodded and said, "However, there's no need to postpone Mephistopheles's task. We can work on both objectives simultaneously."

"Since I have the greatest influence over Gehenna, I will search for proof of the Skymagia Royal Family's suppression. I'm also the only one who can do so discreetly without alerting the Skymagia Royal Family's eyes."

"Still, considering I have never noticed any hidden external force acting on Gehenna in all these years, Skymagia Royal Family's suppression must be something hard to detect, such as tampering with our realm's laws."

"As such, Hecate, who is most proficient in several laws, will aid me in this task once she exits her secluded cultivation," Thanatos arranged.

Mephistopheles had a deep look of contemplation before saying, "If it's just finding traces of tampering with the realm's laws, do we even need to look elsewhere?"

"What do you mean, Mephistopheles?" Astarte frowned, thinking he was trying to dismiss her opinion on their priorities.

However, Mephistopheles had no such intention.

"I mean, don't you think the proof is right here, in the Purpleflame Territory? Does nothing come to mind when you think about its current state?" Mephistopheles mentioned.

"The [Eternal Purpleflame) is like a vicious cancer eating away at our realm. It's a foreign power that doesn't belong here, and so long as it remains here, this part of Gehenna will never

recover."

"It might seem like the [Eternal Purpleflame ] had only devastated the surface of the Purpleflame Territory, but its damage could be far more extensive than we can imagine,"

Mephistopheles speculated.

Thanatos and Astarte couldn't help but look at him in shock like they had been struck by a bolt

of lightning.

Balmodan's eyes also flashed with astonishment.
