Asmodeus' office, level one hell.
"I can't believe it! how could they possibly die!?", Asmodeus said uncertainly.
"That's possible, because the system in the underworld is still mysterious" Astaroth replied.
"Okay, I'll be there!", Asmodeus got up from his seat.
"Don't be stupid! you want to get another reprimand?"
"Let's get fired, it's fine"
"Geez this guy", Astaroth felt dizzy and held his head.
"After all according to this guidebook, you can't just go there if it doesn't match the specified time. Except..."
"Except what?"
"You're part of that tower? you can go there at any time but as a consequence, you become bound to serve the tower, be it an officer, a superior or whatever"
"You can't go out anymore?"
"Yes, for - long"
Asmodeus was confused, and he sat back and thought.
"Astaroth?"
"Yes?"
"I leave my office and my job"
"Ohhhh.Why do you want to do it again?"
"Anyways, now that you're a level one hellish higher-up person", Asmodeus began to tidy up his things.
"Asmo!", Astaroth held Asmodeus' shoulder.
"Please don't do something you'll regret later"
"I'll regret not leaving now"
"Haaahhh", Astaroth sighed as if his life was full of problems.
"I entrust all to you, whether we meet again or not, but you are my best cousin"
Astaroth just looked at him, seeing Asmodeus leave in a hurry.
...----------------...
Asmodeus visits Beelzebub's office.
"So, since you recommended it, do you feel responsible for their trip?", asked Beelzebub.
"Rubber"
"Come on.they're all grown up deciding things"
"Also, they probably don't know how dangerous the place is, I'm really worried"
"Come on, then what do you want from me?"
"Help me to..."
"Come with you?"
"No - no, help me to speak with a representative from heaven"
"Gabriel!?"
"Yes"
"I'm not sure"
"I will make an open letter asking permission to speak with the representative of heaven"
After making the letter, Asmodeus got a call to the meeting room of the afterlife. It is there that the representatives of heaven and hell can freely meet and speak.
...----------------...
In the meeting room, there was a long table and dozens of carved wooden chairs circling it. Asmodeus and Beelzebub came and inside was already Gabriel in an inconspicuous ordinary human figure with both of his bodyguards standing next to him. He sits at the very end.
"Hello, how are you, high-ranking of hell?", said Gabriel so kindly.
"Hello, Mr. Gabriel, I'm sorry for asking you to meet us"
"Ah don't need to be so formal, we've never had a chat"
"Good"
"Did Beelzebub even take a shower? very unexpected", Gabriel noticed the Beelzebub that looked neat and fragrant, not the smell of garbage as usual.
"Of course, sir, I feel disinclined to meet such a high ranking heaven as you"
"This is what makes the gap, all consider the inhabitants of heaven so great, but we are all the creation of the almighty"
"Yes, but didn't the Great Boss indeed create the inhabitants of heaven as the best and the inhabitants of hell instead master?"
"Hmm.it is true, but you are also the same - the same task, just different paths"
"Yes right"
"By the way, this room has been unused for hundreds of years since the Lucifer problem. Now what's the matter you want to talk about?"
Asmodeus and Beelzebub looked at each other.
"I know you have a special line to communicate with Adam"
"Truly sir"
"If I guess, you want to make sure Erina Muriella, the descendant of Lucifer"
"You're absolutely right"
"Hmm...how ya?"
Asmodeus got up and looked down at Gabriel,
"I plead on my own behalf, Asmodeus Claidheamh, please help me get a special path to go to the power tower"
Beelzebub saw this fellow who was probably the only high-ranking demon who dared to beg the number one angel in heaven.
"I'll try to think about it first"
"Okay, I'll look forward to the answer"
"Sit back. I wonder what makes you so worried about her, isn't she so strong?"
"Yes I know he has the power, but on the other hand he is only a human being, and the situation there no one knows how. Because I love him so much, I'm so worried about him"
"Hmm..love huh? the most absurd, the most colorful, yet also the darkest feeling ever created by the Almighty.we angels are not endowed with such feelings"
"I know, the lives of angels are so easy because they don't have that feeling, do they?"
"High officials like me still have feelings, but the bodyguards and ordinary officers, they are like robots doing all the tasks perfectly without a doubt"
"I'm sure they sometimes feel the void as well"
"So, maybe"
"So, when can you give me the answer?"
"You want to go alone?"
"Yes, alone is enough"
"I'll try to call Adam to ask if I can get a special line"
"Ah well", Asmodeus looks sumringah.
Gabriel took out a box with a small gemstone from his pocket and it floated in front of him.
Moments later the box was glowing, and Gabriel began to communicate with someone.
"Hello, am I interrupting?"
"No, no one's been talking to this line for a long time, who's there?" asked one woman.
"It's Gabriel"
"Aaaa..Gabriel, it's been a long time huh"
"Yes, Eve..didn't see each other, was Adam there?"
"Hmm I'll call you in a minute"
A short time later there was a man across the street with a big voice.
"Gabrieeell..how are you?"
"I'm good, Adam I have some questions that don't bother you"
"Please, anything is for angel number one"
"Would the astral be able to monitor the state of someone who is on a mission in the power tower?"
"Hmm.depends"
"Depends on what?"
"How strong is the astral? because the communication network built to connect the underworld to the afterlife is very far and difficult, so to be able to monitor the situation from afar will be very draining of energy, and will not even be perfect"
Asmodeus came closer to Gabriel and spoke, "Sorry, but can you tell me firsthand how someone is in there?"
"Who is this?"
"I am Asmodeus, the Astral spoken of earlier"
"Hmm.so this way, I just don't have the ability to do that, I'm just waiting in the last room, waiting for a human who made it through all the obstacles that have been made in such a way"
"Aren't you the one who made all those obstacles? is that so hard?"
"It wasn't me who made it, I was just his guard and manager"
"OK okay, what if I want to go straight there quickly without having to cross the underworld obstacles first? can I?"
"Actually it can, but the requirements are decent"
"What is that, you name it!"
"You have to build a ritual using a special spell with the element three of creation. Light element, fire element, and earth element, and your energy must be really strong to be able to do it, then if successful you will be able to open the gate to the underworld"
"Alright, thanks for the information"
"Okay, this connection will soon be cut off due to distant dimensional differences"
The phone in the box is dead.
"Well I've helped you, then please tell yourself yes, oh yes if about the spell you can look for it in the library of the center of the afterlife"
"Thank you very much for your help, sir"
Asmodeus and Beelzebub saluted.
Gabriel returns to heaven, The two of them stay behind and discuss the plan.
