The Devil's Last Hope II
Both Primordials engaged in competition and Amaterasu had to cough out a little not to make them realise that she had words to say, no... to make them realise that she also wanted some prawns and hence they should be more considerate.
"My Shinto faction has decided to stay neutral in this matter, however... Yasaka is going to take part in the training of the different yokai living in the underworld. Just like the Nephilim and Angels. A lot of yokai were also taken as slaves into the underworld due to the devil supremacy faction... those same Yokais that were protected within the Lucifuge Territory are now getting ready to involve themselves in this war for the sake of the underworld..." Amaterasu started, but seeing that the number of prawns was diminishing drastically, she got into action and passed the mantle to the disbelieving priestess.
"I would have never thought that the underworld's main pillars of support would come from those that they oppressed but It was all thanks to Lady Lucifuge... if not for her there would be nothing but hatred in their hearts, they'd surely give it their all to shatter the last hope devils have... it is not a lot of them but a group of Yokais are intending to get involved and I have prepared a group of experts in Youki in order to train them. I also intend to serve as an intermediary... even if the devils lose this war I won't accept a single life from any Yokais being lost".
Yasaka finished and then Benneth interjected again.
"Gabriel has requested the same with the angels and so has done Azazel with the Fallen Angels. Regardless of the outcome of this war. Only those of the devil race will suffer the consequences... however. It is not that simple. There are some scarce yet existing families composed of mixing between devils and other races... in the event of the devils losing this war... all of those families would be shattered".
Benneth's words made Jie Yuan stop abruptly, thinking about the home that she left behind shrouded in war and disaster where there would surely be a lot of deaths and families shattered as well.
'Just like mine...' She thought that world had torn everything she ever held dear and deserved no mercy.
"What are you thinking, Jie Yuan" Richter also stopped, seeing her gritting her teeth and even mumbling releasing some dark aura.
"It is just like the Primal Chaos... regardless of here or there, there is always war".
"Richter-sama... you could end everything with one word-".
Jie Yuan's words prompted Amaterasu to utter infamous words but Grayfia wasn't about to accept it. The restaurant began freezing, she wasn't happy.
"Don't you dare put this responsibility on my master's shoulders, Amaterasu".
"..." The Sun Goddess stopped for a moment, to her... Richter was strong enough to say a mere word and stop all wars in this world. Just like Calliope had. No, right now Richter Golden-Haze was being feared even more than Calliope. Defeating Great Red, killing Shiva with a single attack, plundering Asgard, shattering the dimensional gap... those were achievements even Calliope couldn't compare to.
Calliope had been RESPECTED by Ophis and Great Red. But Richter was FEARED by both dragonesses. As far as Amaterasu was concerned, Noblesse Oblige was the principle Richter had to follow.
"Master doesn't belong to this world! whether he has the power to stop this bloodshed or not is unimportant. It is not his responsibility to shoulder the sins of the devils" Grayfia added but her phrase was finished by Jie Yuan who was not as kind with her words.
"Weak being like yourselves should not be asking the ones that hold the balance to intervene".
"Jie Yuan-" Richter felt that she was starting to go overboard, but the Devil Emperor had more words to say.
"No... Richter. Existences such as ourselves should never intervene in the matters of mortals. I choose to leave the Primal Chaos, not because I don't love my home... but because of the implications. The same story repeated again. I'm a devil but I could never step in between a feud of devils with titanic force. That is how hatred is produced... and it shall never be sated for thousands of generations. The moment we start to involve ourselves; that is the moment the universe is fated to crumble... in the primal chaos it was the same. Mo E, Ni Xuan, I... we should have never gotten involved... this war is your war, fight it yourselves".
"Wise words..." A voice resonated all around, shocking almost everyone except for Richter and Jie Yuan who had sensed her before she appeared.
A small light sparkle formed from the nothingness, giving form to a silhouette that left every single gorgeous lady in this room feeling envious.
With beauty comparable to Hera, Parvati and Freya. A body that had nothing to envy Aphrodite's yet a saintess that could only mirror the virgin mary. In this universe, Li Suo was a woman that would have been craved by countless gods, creating wars with her mere presence.
"Master, t-this is..." Layla, Grayfia, Annette and Benneth suddenly felt threatened. Something they didn't even feel with Aphrodite.
"This one's name is Li Suo, Creation Goddess of Life. I'm also master's little slave" The woman didn't bow, she merely walked to the back of her master, standing next to a gaping Layla.
"... you're not helping" Richter sighed.
"My apologies, master. Allow me to correct myself. I'm master's treasure spirit the one that manages his Eternal Heaven Pearl and Primordial Seal. I'm completely unable to go against his will and I also don't desire to do so. Therefore, that would make me his little slave".
"Thank you, Li Suo... that's better," Richter said sarcastically, taking a prawn and resisting Grayfia's aggrieved sight.
"I'm here to serve, master".
"Richter-sama... i-is she your maid?"
"You are my maid, Grayfia, she is-"
"Slave".
"..."
Li Suo seemed quite determined to retain this position.
"Slave? just that?" Grayfia wasn't convinced... the way she spoke, the way she stood, the way her eyes looked at her master. That could only come from a maid!
Grayfia was already getting ready for war. There couldn't be anyone else to take her spot as her master's maid. It could be the Creation Goddess Life or the Queen Mother of the Heavens, she'd still freeze that person in the ninth hell.
"I could also be master's sexual slave... but time shall tell. Right, master?"
"..."
"Richter-sama... how do you keep getting all those women?"
"I'm not even trying..."
"W-What?!"
