Elections

The situation in hell was chaotic. It seemed like all hell had literally broken loose, with everyone wondering who would be the new king of hell, and who truly deserved the throne and title of the Devil. The crowd was abuzz with speculation and discussion, with demons, seers, ghosts, and even the neutral spirits all voicing their desire for a change in leadership.

Faced with this dilemma, they reached a compromise. If they couldn't allow themselves to take the throne, and certainly not hand it back to the Twin kings, then they would give it to a stranger – the youngest among them, the prodigal son who wasn't even present at this crucial meeting. And so, the decision was made to bestow the title of Devil upon Asmodeus, the unexpected choice for this weighty position.

The twins, Lucifer and Satan, were undoubtedly affected by the turn of events. As Asmodeus was not present at the meeting due to complex reasons and his prolonged absence from hell, the twins had their own perspectives on the matter. Asmodeus had distanced himself from Lucifer and Satan, opting to leave for planet Earth. Despite this, he was regarded as one of the friendliest arch demons, and was adored by demons, neutral spirits, and ghosts alike. Affectionately referred to as their "Enjoyment Minister," Asmodeus was the fallen angel of lust, and memories of the fun they had with him filled them with nostalgia.

Leviathan, one of the twin kings, didn't object to handing the throne to Asmodeus. However, he harbored concerns about Asmodeus' strained relationship with Satan, fearing that Asmodeus might never return to hell after their serious feud. In anticipation of Asmodeus' potential refusal, Leviathan inquired about the backup plan, assuming he might be considered. To his surprise, the collective response was a resounding insistence on Asmodeus as the only acceptable choice for the position of Devil. This unexpected turn of events left Leviathan with a sense of impending turmoil, realizing that the carefully laid contingency plans were crumbling before his eyes. He had inadvertently nurtured a group of rebellious entities, and now faced the prospect of yielding to their demands or facing their insurrection.

Amidst the smoking hot pit of fire, the situation was becoming increasingly dramatic. The resolution he had diligently constructed was unraveling. It was clear that if they were to bring Asmodeus back to hell, they would first need to locate him, setting the stage for a challenging and potentially perilous endeavor.

Asmodeus had made a clean break when he departed from hell, seemingly intent on leaving his royal demon life behind. However, it was widely known that Asmodeus was not one to maintain a low profile. Despite cutting ties with most, he still maintained communication with Mammon, another prince of hell and the fallen angel of greed. Mammon and Asmodeus shared a close bond, and both harbored a disdain for Satan.

The sentiment towards Satan was unanimous – nobody actually liked him. The history of their time in heaven revealed that Lucifer had initiated a movement to challenge the Almighty, and Satan had aligned himself with this cause, taking it to extreme levels. What began as a peaceful demonstration escalated into a violent coup that had catastrophic consequences for the universe.

The biblical depiction of the heavens being taken with violence was not an exaggeration. The surviving angels, including Lucifer, Satan, and the others, barely escaped the cataclysm. They were ultimately banished to Earth by the Almighty, although they perceived this as a punishment. Lucifer subsequently devised a plan to manipulate Adam and Eve's fall, with the assistance of the infamous Lilith. This successful endeavor marked their second attempt to demonstrate their disdain for the Almighty.

As time passed, everything seemed to be going relatively well until the era of Noah. During this period, Satan made a grave error by overstepping in his corruption of humanity. Believing that if he could corrupt everyone, God would forsake the Earth and leave it to his fallen sons, Satan's actions instead invoked a terrifying response. God chose to enact a cataclysmic event, obliterating everything and everyone except for Noah, his family, and a pair of animals. It was at this juncture that they collectively agreed to exercise restraint in their endeavors to corrupt the world.

The fate of the deceased, who were not destined for heaven, led to the creation of the underworld – a realm buried deep within the sea, referred to as the devil's eye. It was within this ominous domain that the legends of ghosts, demons, and monsters took root. Centuries later, they received intelligence suggesting that God had a plan to reconcile humanity with himself, a plan that involved his only begotten son, the divine figure.

Upon learning of this plan, Lucifer was incensed. Surprisingly, it was not Satan who was in a state of agitation, but rather the fallen angel of pride, Lucifer. This revelation sparked a fury within him, setting the stage for unforeseen consequences as the narrative unfolded.

Lucifer consequently handed the reins to Satan, allowing him free rein as long as he eliminated the divine figure. This directive resulted in a series of baby massacres and an extended period dedicated to the pursuit of the divine one. Unbeknownst to them, the divine figure remained concealed until he reached an age where he could confront them. None dared to approach the divine one, except for the Devil twin duo.

Lucifer, in a bid to tempt the divine one, engaged him in the desert, while Satan ultimately played a role in his demise. However, they soon realized that their actions had inadvertently fulfilled prophecy.

In the wake of these events, it came as no surprise that there was a sudden surge in the desire to keep Satan as far away from the throne as possible. The pressing question remained: how would this unfold? Would it culminate in a peaceful election or a coup d'état? The looming tension and uncertainty set the stage for an impending power struggle with far-reaching implications for the underworld.
