Chapter 116 - Conspiracy

Vimana was flying at a high speed while Sparda, Azazel, and Kali were still on-board. Azazel was confused about where they were going now because he was sure that they were not on the way back to Kyoto. Sparda snapped his fingers and a Garganta opened in front of them Vimana went right through it and they came out in the underworld.

Azazel: Why are we in the underworld??

Sparda: I need to check something.

Kali: Where are we going to??

Sparda: We will be visiting the floating city of Agreas.

Azazel: Wha—What??? That is a restricted space we need to call Sirzechs or Ajuka.

Sparda: Ok then call them and ask them to meet me there.

Azazel was confused why Sparda suddenly wanted to visit the floating city of Agreas, he never showed any interest in Evil Pieces so why now. He put all these thoughts in the back of his head and called Sirzechs to come to the floating city of Agreas. Sirzechs said that he would be there shortly. Sparda could see the floating city of Agreas now. They soon reached there and got down over the surface and Sirzechs and Grafiya were already waiting there. Sparda put Vimana back in GOB.

Sirzechs: Why suddenly interest in these crystals??

Sparda: Nothing much just need to check something.

Grafiya: Please follow me.

After that Grafiya led them inside a building and Ajuka was waiting inside for them while he was talking with some worker. All of them reached near Ajuka and Sparda looked towards the worker.

Sparda: Get me a crystal.

The worker was shocked and he was not sure if he should follow his order or not. To confirm he looked towards Sirzechs and Ajuka who nodded their heads in confirmation. The worker ran somewhere and came back with a shard-like crystal holding in his hand. Sparda took the crystal from his hand and started to release his Divinity. As Sparda thought the crystal started to store his divinity. Sparda was amused seeing that. After Sparda confirmed his theory he crushed the crystal and his divinity returned to his body. Everyone was shocked she what was happening.

Sparda: Ajuka who had access to this place??

Ajuka: Only the Devil Kings. This place belongs to Agares clan but even if they want to enter here they need our permission.

Sparda: Do you store these crystals somewhere?? Or you mine it??

Ajuka: Yes we mine it then store it at this compound.

Azazel: What are you looking for exactly??

Sparda: These crystals were used to steal the Divinity of the Greek Gods, so how could have they gained access that is what I want to know.

Sirzechs: If that has happened we must have some traitor among us.

Sparda: Ding, Ding, Ding right answer. Now take me to this storeroom.

After that, the worker took him to the storeroom and opened the door. They saw the room was still full of the crystals according to their logs. Sparda's eyes started to rotate and transformed in EMS, he wanted to check if it was an illusion or not. Sparda saw that it was not an illusion, the worker was sweating but he spoke up.

Worker: See there is all our stock nothing is missing, sir. We lowly devils would never betray the Devil Kings.

Ajuka: We know.

Sparda was sure that they were using these crystals.

Sparda: Take me to the mines.

Worker: B—But sir, that place is not fitted to be visited by nobles.

Sparda: Well good then, I am not a noble.

After that, the worker unwillingly took them to the mines. They entered the mines and saw that the whole mine has been swept clean. They were supporting the surface by building pillars or the surface would have already collapsed. The worker tried to run away but Grafiya froze his feet but before anyone could question him he took a poison which killed him instantly.

Ajuka: How can this happen??

Sirzechs: Now won't be getting any answers.

Sparda: This shows how useless you Devil Kings are. They cleaned the most important mine in the underworld without anyone of your knowledge.

Grafiya: Now we won't be able to find out who was behind this.

Azazel: What are the uses of these crystal except in evil pieces and divinity storing??

Sparda: Let's meet someone I think who is capable of doing this.

Sirzechs: Who is he??

Sparda: Diehauser Belial.

Ajuka: How can you say he is behind this??

Sparda: I have some theories.

After that, they decided not to ask anything more and Grafiya prepared a magic circle for them leading to Belial clan. As soon as the circle was prepared all of them stepped inside and they teleported to Belial territory. All of them appeared in front of Belial castle. The guards saw Sparda and the Devil Kings and they immediately ran inside to call the current head of Belial clan. Soon one man and woman came out of the castle and kneeled in front of them.

Man: I am Lord Belial the previous leader of Belial house, my son is currently not present here. How can I help you??

Sirzechs: Both of you please raise your heads can you tell me where your son is??

Woman: Did he do something??

Sparda: Nah…!! We just want his assistance regarding something so I would appreciate it if you can point me to his direction.

Woman: Oh… Lord Sparda, I am honored by your presence, he said he wanted to visit Lord Zekram Bael.

Sparda: Oh well…!! Thank you Lady Belial and please stop calling me Lord.

After that Grafiya again prepares a magic circle which leads to Bael castle. All of them stepped inside and teleported to Bael territory. They appeared in front of Bael castle and as soon as the guards saw them they opened their doors for them to enter. The guards knew that Sparda was Zekram's friend. Sparda asked a maid about where Zekram was, she showed him the throne room. Sparda opened the door and saw Zekram was sitting on a chair while Diehauser was kneeling in front of him. Seeing Sparda a small smile formed on Zekram's face.

Sparda: Zekram, how have you been….??
