A deal with the devil (Part 1)

As all those notifications appeared in Kaizen's vision as pop-ups, he moved his left hand and deleted them all at once. There was no time to read them with a demon right in front of him.

Kaizen gazed at Belial with a cold stare, still with the newly revealed secret echoing in his mind like a secret stolen from hell itself. He could feel the essence of the newly acquired ability pulsing inside him, but unlike usual, he chose not to activate it immediately. It was as if he was savoring the power before deciding how to use it.

"I don't know, he's never worked with me. He's quiet, reserved."

The demon Belial, for his part, seemed to be in internal agony at having been forced to admit that he wasn't the strongest. Silence hung over them, broken only by the subtle sound of the wind blowing through the ruins of what was once a city.
