Chapter 273

That was because it meant that Muyoung could use the powers whenever he needed to by hiding the act of using those stolen powers.

It was then.

Murumuru raised his right hand.

He was able to communicate with any person tattooed with a certain glyph by raising his right hand, no matter how far away that person was.

It was a highly useful ability in transmitting the intel that was gathered from watching and watching over Muyoung.

There would be no better tool for a spy than this ability.

Soon, he lowered his hand and Murumuru spoke.

“Gremory has disintegrated Phenex.”

Phenex. The 37th Demon God.

He was the Demon God that was in charge of strategy. It seemed that the simultaneous attack by four Demon Gods, including Gremory, was successful in destroying him.

For now, the first step in the plan was going well.

‘The initial attack was successful.’

The problem was from there on.

At this time, three coalition Demon Gods have been annihilated.

The moment that this was learned, they would hurriedly assemble.

They would plan retaliation, and would mobilize to destroy the opposition.

‘Paimon’s a concern.’

There was one more Demon God who, along with Bane, was gathering and delivering intel.

Paimon!

The one who reveals secrets.

However, there was no way to know what he looked like. Even Dantalian didn’t seem to know much about Paimon.

That was an indication as to how skilled he was in moving about undetected.

‘The worst case scenario.’

The possibility that Paimon, in which he might have told Baal about the annihilation of Bane and Phenex, must be put on the table.

Baal would gather his allies and first attack Gremory, who was the face of the opposition.

He would want to take care of things quickly, now when the whereabouts of Solomon was not known.

‘We are definitely in the position of the minority, attacking the majority.’

There could never be a situation in which attacks are launched against the same or more number of Demon Gods. Even a single casualty on the opposition forces could become fatal.

Hence, they must only engage in the fights in which victory was guaranteed.

Muyoung stroked his chin.

The best move that Muyoung could make if and when Baal was to mobilize after hearing from Paimon.

‘Toss a bait.’

They could never exclude Solomon.

Then….

‘Gremory’

She would be become the bait.

In the middle of the Demon Gods’ territory.

The land of death where there were endless lightning and storms.

The temple of Baal, the 1st one, was there.

At the temple in the sky, which can only be reached by climbing up tens of thousands of stairs, Baal was acting as the controller of all things as he looked down on the world.

During ordinary times, there wouldn’t be anyone else, but Baal. However, now, there were several coalition Demon Gods who were seeking his audience.

Baal.

Seated on the seat of great power, he looked down upon the Demon Gods who were looking up as they knelt.

Paimon was there as well.

He was before Baal in his true flesh, rather than in his spiritual form.

“O, Baal, the opposition is mobilizing in earnest. I’ve confirmed Bane’s demise.”

“Is it only Bane?”

As if he already knew everything.

As his piercing eyes looked deeper into Paimon’s mind, Paimon paused for a moment before continuing.

“Mobilizations of Gremory and the opposition Demon Gods have been confirmed. The anticipated destination is believed to be where Phenex is.”

“We won’t be able to defeat them.”

“I concur.”
