Chapter 82: The Next Step in the Plan

July 20th, 2089

Dantes POV

In a lovely castle in Denmark situated on the coast of the North Sea, I was casually sitting upon a throne of bones. These bones were generously donated by the previous owners of this castle and drastically helped improve the feng shui. All 666 demons of Pandemonium were kneeled before me, a delightful smorgasbord of horns, tentacles, talons and other ghastly appendages. My eyes, however, were focused on my 6 chosen lieutenants. These 6 were the ones I had to beat down early on to bring the gang together and they were naturally the strongest after me.Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)

Cerberus, the three-headed dog, was currently possessing the body of a human since he would be way too large to fit in here otherwise. Standing at 4-stories tall, he is the largest demon in Pandemonium. He looks like a gigantic pure black Rottweiler, if you ignore the fact he has 3 heads and a creepy tail. Hes a dumb dog, but he is obedient. Sparky, a storm demon, was a humanoid being of crackling lightning wearing dark grey clouds like a trench coat. He stands at about 7 feet tall with 3 long, slender fingers per hand. He is the definition of hyperactive.

Susan, a classic yuki-onna, was looking smoking hot in her rather revealing pseudo-kimono. Her skin was as white as snow and her silvery-blue hair that nearly touches the floor reminds one of ice. Her eyes matched her hair and even her voice was cold and monotonous. Unlike what one would expect, she has an extremely volatile and fiery personality. Although she can only talk in a monotone voice, making it kind of hard to take notice when shes getting angry. Which then results in severe frostbite as she is forced to resort to violence to communicate her wrath.

The reactions were all as expected, so it is now time to get things into motion and to do what leaders do best: delegate. Jumbo, take 87 demons and go to the Central African Confederacy. You already know the list of targets. Do not act until I tell you to. Sure thing, boss. Jumbo croaked out like a frog before flying away.

Cerberus, take 113 demons and head to Germany. Youll be the first to move so be ready. Cerberus barked an affirmative and left. Mannequin, your assignment is North America. Take 100 demons and set up like the others. Mannequin nodded before silently vanishing. Susan and Sparky, I want you both in China along with 306 demons. Follow my directions there to the letter. Our operations there will have priority for the foreseeable future.

The two also left, leaving Ibaraki-doji, myself and only 60 demons remaining. Ibaraki-doji, go build the set for the show. I want to film the first episode now. AS YOU COMMAND MY LORD!!!!!!!! Ibaraki-dojis overenthusiastic roar literally blew me off my throne. I forgot that this guy can only speak in ALL CAPS! Oi, take it down a few notches! This isnt a fuckin spirit competition!! You do not get bonus points for enthusiasm! A suitably chastised Ibaraki-doji left to set things up as I sat back on my throne and continued my pondering. Its times like these where I wish I had a goatee I could stroke in contemplation.

I plan to make Pandemonium strong enough to openly challenge the Council of Nine. They are the key peace-keepers in this world. It is due to their recent efforts that no wars have started these past five years. In other words, they are a major buzz kill. As long as that organization has a unified front it will be difficult to start an inferno of fun.

Luckily, the members have a large amount of animosity towards one another. I just need to undermine the Councils authority amongst the non-member nations, get them to suspect one another of ulterior motives and then toss one betrayal into that mess to create my desired inferno. There is already so much kindling from past grievances and oppression, all it needs is one little spark to start burning.

Fufufu, I cant help it. Thinking about my evil plot in my ominous castle makes me want to do a maniacal laugh. MWHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Ahhh, that was refreshing. I idly unrolled a map as I tried to decide on where I wanted to take my personal troops. A month of minimal violence has made me kind of jumpy, like a junkie who hasnt had their fix for a while. I will hold off for a little bit longer until things start rolling for Pandemonium, but then I can really let loose. And I know just the place for it.
