Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence

Episode 283: Opening of the Demon King Conference

There were already demon kings in one of the rooms serving as the venues for the Demon King's Conference. That number is five in all. Lucifer's seat and Mamon's seat are empty, but the other seats have the appearance of demon kings ruling their respective districts.

Only a simple large table and chair is in that room. Nothing else exists. Rather than that, it was forbidden to bring anything unnecessary into that room. Moreover, only those with the title of Demon King are allowed to enter the room, a complete chamber in which not even the demon kings' men can be present.

That room was created precisely for the Demon King's Conference and is called by the Demon Kings during the moonlight. And since only the Demon King meeting period is used during the moonlight, other times are completely due.

So Mikola was just a little surprised at the making of it, having stepped in during the moonlight for the first time. I heard rumors, but I never really thought there was anything.

Sarunalin talks to Mikola like that.

"You in the rumored Mikola-Asmodeus?

"You look younger than you reported."

"But it looks like you have a lot of strength."

Mikola finds herself breathless when her gaze is gathered from the moderates. They are not otherwise hostile to Mikola, but it is something that makes them unconsciously unable to breathe when there are as many as three glances of vessels that make them demon kings.

Detodelion pinched his mouth to defend such Mikola.

"This guy is the real Mikola-Asmodeus. I can assure you."

"Yes. I didn't mean to suspect anything."

"It just seems like I suspected it from the mouth."

"That's a must. But it's natural to be wary of radicals, isn't it?

Sarunalin a detodelion scattered with sparks before the meeting began. After all, are radicals and moderates water and oil, and do they never interact?

Of course it's Gillanell who goes between those two. It is also the job of the Great Demon King to defeat the opposing Demon Kings.

"Make that about it for both of us. I can't start a meeting."

"I'm sorry about that. But, Gilanel, are you still going to sit in Satan's seat?"

"Naturally. I am only a surrogate and the true Great Demon King is elsewhere"

"Still chasing Keith's fantasies"

Gilanel sits in a seat reserved for Satan. Ever since he became Acting Grand Demon King Lucifer, he has never sat in the seat of Grand Demon King Lucifer. It was aware that it would not be commensurate with its seat on its own, and it was also Gillanell's will to leave it empty until something worthy came out.

But Detodelion doesn't like Gilanel's attitude. That's because he thinks anything powerful should be in a position to match it. In that sense, Detodelion admits to Gillanell.

Upon confirmation that the pre-opening job meeting has been completed, Gillanel declares the meeting open.

"Then I want to start a meeting. First agenda…"

Detodelion raises his hand at the same time as the meeting begins. When proposing an agenda at the Demon King's Conference, it is basically a hands-up system. But since everyone on the spot understands what to discuss, the act will only be formal.

"Detodelion, what is it?

"It's a proposal for an agenda. First, I'm here to approve a new Asmodeus."

The name of Asmodeus belongs institutionally to Mikola at the time Mikola took King of Dreams. But obtaining the name of Asmodeus is not synonymous with obtaining a say in the Demon King's Conference, and therefore requires approval in the Demon King's Conference. Even so, it actually makes little sense in shape-shaped proceedings.

Still, it is the demon kings who execute it once and for all.

"Then those who recognize Mikola-Asmodeus as the Demon King raise their hands."

Four demon kings, excluding Mikola, agree with Gillanell's call. This made Mikola Asmodeus the complete demon king. Until now, however, it is within the bounds of assumptions for radicals and moderates alike. The issue comes from the next agenda.

So Detodelion raises his hand again.

"Detodelion"

"What I want to discuss this time is about Mamon being vacant."

Mikola, as well as the moderate demon kings, do not show any particular surprise in the cutout of Detodelion. Rather, it is no exaggeration to say that this meeting was held to discuss this agenda.

"But there's no one out there claiming to have defeated Mammon, is there?

"Right. The only way a successor won't show up is to leave a seat empty."

The reaction between Sarunalin and Daldar is within the expectations of the Detodelions and the Rapids. And as far as that attitude goes, Detodelion, convinced that they moderates did not have a candidate for Mamon to succeed, grins at.

"About it, but I found the right person."

"Does that mean you got Mamon in your hand?

"No. But it's what inherits Mamon's will."

"I want you to tell me exactly what it is."

From there on, the moderates have not grasped it. The only thing I know is that the rapist prepared Mamon candidate is a woman. I don't know anything else.

"I'll tell you about it."

"Oh, Asmodeus."

"Yes, she is one of our men who originally served the predecessor Demon King Mamon, whom we recommend to Mamon"

"I see. You want me to pick Mamon out of Broad-Mamon's men"

moderates who are just a little surprised by the radical answer. They are originally the same rapists, but the two were hard to reconcile because of differences due to policy that existed between Broad and Detodelion as well. Because it was not thought that Detodelion would succeed Mamon in his post, who was said to inherit Broad's will.

"So what about strength?

"I was wondering if there was a problem. Compared to the other demon kings, they don't seem that colorful."

"Heh, that's a surprise. I wonder why such a presence has never appeared on the surface stage before."

If there were a demon king with the same power, there would be some rumor. And the rumor should reach Sarnalyn's ear as well. But she never heard of such a presence.

"How many minutes is she familiar? I don't like the stage."

"I told you to be a mammon this time, even if you were better."

"Apparently, he wants to inherit the will of his former boss."

I don't know if it's a lie or a truth. Explanation, but I can't deny it because I don't have proof. Plus if you say you're right there, it would actually have been quicker.

Detodelion, who thought so, says to the moderates.

"I hear you're not preparing a successor, but you won't be able to deny it without looking at our recommended candidates. I want you to make sure it exists first before you judge it. Come on in."

Hearing that word of Detodelion, the woman who was outside the door opens the door and enters the room. Mikola and Detodelion smile slightly when they see him. That's from the certainty that our thoughts worked.

On the other hand, Gillanell, Daldar and Sarunalin, who saw who they were, had a startling look on their face without exception. Because the magician was too unexpected.

Detodelion, the nominee, introduced the woman.

"She is the Dark Knight Forno. He was a man of the Demon King Broad-Mamon. He's a brilliant man."

The woman, who appeared during the moonlight, is a heterogeneous being wrapped around her whole body in black armor, but surely its strength was something that could be said to be comparable to that of the Demon Kings.
