"He wishes for you to suffer! He wants you to experience true pain! He wants your company!" The demon shouted, and I rolled my eyes. This must be so demon that had a personal grudge against , but Diablo was a close friend, and the rest of the higher ranks were too busy torturing other demons, trying to kill each other to even care about being king.
"I need a na. If this person is so powerful, then they should not be scared of , right?" I asked, but if they knew , it would be the exact opposite.
"My master told I can tell you whatever you want to know, but not that one single thing. It is not that we are hiding it from you, but the Black King has removed his na from our minds. You are more than welco to look into my mind if you would like, but you won't find anything useful," The demon explained to while still wiggling under my pins. I had expected sothing like this, but going as far as removing his na from their minds was troubleso.
"What was the reason for you being sent here? Bellazibub must know that I have all the captives now, and I even have three of the five of her demons that were summoned here. Why are you all still trying to co over?" I asked, and the Demon Bee stopped struggling and smiled brightly.
"Co here? I am just here to offer you an invitation!" The demons cackled, and I narrowed my eyes, making the pins press down harder on its neck, cutting the laughter off.
"What are you talking about?" I growled, releasing the pressure so.
"The Black King would like to et you! Stritza and tocrity have already returned to the Underworld after killing the remaining cultists!" The demon explained, but my eyes stayed narrowed. While this was good news, that just gave even less of a reason to want to go to the Underworld.
"Well, if that is the case, then I have no reason to visit this Black King," I said, but the demon seed to be waiting for this.
"Bellazibub said you would say this, but the Black King is holding many hostages right now. One of them is Bellazibub's Master, Diablo. Not that you would care about him, even though you are supposedly his friend, but there are two others that you will want to co and get," the demon explained, and I raised an eyebrow, but the mont this creature started talking, I knew what it was going to say. "You know the demoness, Rem, and Xieus?"
I should have known, but I was still lacking mories at that ti. Still, even if I had had all my mories in place, I still would have sent Xieus to find Rem, but now things were starting to make more sense.
This was why the Black Goat Cult had been doing all this here and the reason why Rem wasn't around, but hearing that Diablo had been captured was troubling.
The true Demon King was a sadist that loved all forms of torture, and like most demons, that was really all that Diablo wanted to do and had let his brother, Baal, run the place. Then I showed up and killed a great number of demons and then Baal. During that ti, I beca good friends with Diablo and explained what his brother had actually been doing. Diablo understood why I was doing it and didn't care that I was going to kill his brother, but he also told he had no interest in helping .
The first ti that Diablo had refused , we had fought, and he was incredibly strong, but even with a blade at his neck that could wipe him from existence, he still denied . It wasn't until I left, battled my way through the Underworld for a while, and stayed with so of the tribes and towns did I start to understand. Not only Diablo's reasoning but how the demons were as people.
When I had first been reborn into the Underworld, I had killed everything in sight like a monster, but I t Diablo almost right after. In ti, I started to understand that the Underworld was really just another world. The rules were much different, and the people were not like anywhere else.
The demons were separated into three groups. Monsters, sadists, and masochists. The monsters were beasts without intelligence, and their only purpose was to kill, even if they were not hungry. The other two groups were the intelligent demons that ford tribes, towns, and even the large city. Their lives revolved around giving and taking pain, and that was really the only thing that they cared about.
It took a while to understand this, but when I did, I started to see why Diablo refused to help, just the sa as any demon that wasn't bound to . They all just wanted to torture or be tortured in peace, and Upper Realm Creatures summoning them was actually a terrifying thing for them.
That was why I killed Baal. He had been trading demons for Upper Realm creatures to place in his zoo that was in the capital of the Underworld, Demoden. Most demons enjoyed torture, even if they didn't, so you would never get their true reaction out of them. This led Baal to start stealing people from different worlds to keep in the Underworld as playthings for him and his followers.
In the end, I sent everyone back to their worlds, killed Baal and all his followers, and everyone went back to torturing in peace by the ti I had left, but I had been through in looking for demons that might revolt in the future. That was why I had no clue who this new Black King was, but now I was forced to go down there, but not yet.
While it was unfortunate that Xieus and Rem had been captured, this Black King was being far too cautious. I had to assu that this ant that he wanted sothing from , but what that was, I didn't know yet, but I needed to clean up the ss that was caused here.
