Chapter 11

"By the way where is Irene?" Tiamat asked as she looked around.

"She is up ahead trying to master the power of that weapon dear gave her" Celica answered as she pointed her finger towards the endless valley in front of them.

"Up ahead... how big is this place?" Jeanne asked Tiamat on hearing Celica's words.

"We don't know... You have to ask Dear. Since he is the one who made it" Tiamat answered.

"I see"

The little kid let out a playful giggle and pointed her little finger where Celica is pointing a moment ago.

"Mother look it's 8th mother, we can play now" The little kid cried out with a gaze if anticipation and excitement.

Jeanne turned her head and looked over where the little kid is pointing and saw a tall, voluptuous beautiful woman with thickly braided, bow-adorned, scarlet hair, and she is wielding a majestic huge Warhammer.

"Did it work? Did you mastered..." Saeko's words came to halt on seeing the look of disappointment on Irene's face.

"It will take time to master and who is this...?"

"Hello, I am Jeanne d'Arc" Jeanne bowed.

"Mother, can we play now?" The little kid asked impatiently. Putting down the Warhammer Irene took the little kid in her arms from Tiamat.

"What do you want to play?" Irene looked at Manami and smiled gently.

"Hide and Seek! Hide and Seek!" Irene let out a chuckle and caressed the little kid's forehead.

(Hide and Seek here...?) Jeanne thought as she looked around, where are they going play hide and seek when there are no trees and places to hide behind?

Seiichi who is going through the reports and information about the current events in the human world and the underworld gathered by Magari[Leader of Nekomata's] sighed. There is nothing interesting going on in the human realm but after reading the reports on the underworld Seiichi frowned and his eyes turned cold.

Looks like the devils have forgotten his words and warnings.

"So the devils are waging war against each other, huh?"

"Yes, Seiichi-Sama" Magari nodded.

"Should I stop them, Master?" Yoshihiro asked, Seiichi thought for a moment and then opened his mouth to speak.

"Let them be, there is no reason to stop this war, as long as they don't disturb the peace of the Familiar forest we will not take any actions against them."

"Understood" both nodded on Seiichi's words. Just then a nekomata walked in and bowed her head respectfully.

"My Lord!"

"Yes?"

"A group of devils wishes to meet you." The nekomata replied with nervousness in her voice.

"Tell them to leave" Yoshihiro answered coldly.

"Why?" Seiichi asked the poor nekomata who is now sweating buckets on hearing the coldness in Yoshihiro voice.

"I-I don't know, they only said that the end of the underworld is coming"

(End of the underworld?)

"Let them in" Seiichi calmly replied and asked the nekomata to bring them in.

"So what do you think about it?" Seiichi asked Magari and Yoshihiro who shook their heads as if they are saying they don't know anything about this matter.

.....

Under the gaze of countless people, a group of devils followed the nekomata further into the city of Nine's Own Goal.

"Sirzechs are you sure about this?" A tall man whose head is completely bald and has a goatee on his chin asked worriedly.

"Falbium, If we don't reach out to him for help... then there will be a lot of casualties" A handsome crimson-haired man who seems to be in his early 20's replied calmly but one can tell that he is nervous too.

"Sirzechs is right we cannot afford the casualties of this war" A young man with green hair that is slicked back said calmly.

"S-Sirzechs l-look" A beautiful girl looking in her late teens with black hair, tied into twin tails and blue eyes stuttered as she pointed her hands towards the mighty castle.

"Serafall...?" Sirzechs turned his head and saw a massive Nine-headed Hydra standing in front of the castle gate.

"Please be at ease. The Nine-Headed Hydra is absolutely obedient to His Majesty orders, and he will not harm you." The nekomata assured them that the hydra will not harm them.

....

Soon they arrived at a hemispherical room and stood before a pair of vast double doors. Intricate carvings decorated both sides of the doors; a beautiful goddess on the right and a cruel-looking demon on the left. Countless ominous-looking statues were arrayed around them.

"The Throne Room lies beyond. Seiichi-sama waits for you within."

"Thank you, Fujimai-San!" Fujimai(Nekomata) nodded on Serafall's words and left the hemispherical room.

As though waiting for those words, the vast double doors swung open slowly, without being touched. A vast room came into view, with a ceiling that was very high and very broad. The walls were predominantly white, with extensive gold decorations and highlights.

Sirzechs and others' eyes followed the carpet forward.

Far ahead of them was a set of stairs, above them, upon those stairs, upon a crystal throne sat a devilishly handsome man with shoulder-length silky platinum blonde hair and crimson blood-red eyes. Beside his throne stands two people, a wise old man, and a beautiful nekomata with seven tail.

"He is so handsome!" Sirzechs and others sweatdropped on hearing Serafall words. Sirzechs and others decide to ignore her and bowed deeply before Seiichi. When they came near him they felt the overwhelming aura of Seiichi, in front of him they were like an ant.

(So this the man who stopped the Great war) Sirzechs and others gulped as the same thoughts rang through their minds.

"So what brings you guys here?"Seiichi asked with an emotionless voice snapping them out of their thoughts.

"My Lord, the descendants of the Four Great Satans intended to carry on their legacy by gathering the strong supporters of the original Four Great Satans and finish what they started, the Great War to realize the world domination ambition of the Original Satans" Sirzechs said while trying his best to look calm.

"We would like to seek his majesty help to stop this war." Ajuka added.
