The Holy Chronicles Of Baator
The Talk Of Baels

Bael Castle, Bael House Territory

Bael Castle, from the Bael Family, is one of the safest places in the entire Underworld. Not only in its powerful and grand construction but, more importantly, the magical protection created from over fifty barriers thrown upon it.

Currently, Venelana Bael was walking through the empty Castle hall when she was about to visit her grandfather Zekram Bael and relay a message from her fiance, who wanted to meet the First Great King.

"Lake in."

There was a male voice coming from behind the wooden door.

Zekram Bael is a middle-aged man with black hair and peaceful purple eyes. He was wearing simple yet noble-looking clothes that reinforced the already powerful aura of dignity emanated from him.

The First Generation Bael, the First Great King, and the right hand of the Demon Lucifer the Great, the ancestor of all demons. His political power excluded even the other three Demons, as he practically controlled most of the 72 Pillar Houses.

Right now, he was sitting in his study room, drinking tea while reading the magic grimoire.

"So, what do you want to say, Vena? Usually at hours like this, you'll practice magic or physical exercise."

ask Zekram. When Venelana returned from the Sunset Monster Mountain Range, she started practicing, even more, mainly focusing on her magic and physique, as she was too weak with her words.

"When I was in the Sunset Monster Mountain Range, I met my fiancee."

Start Venelana, when Zekram looks a little surprised. He did not think too much of his fiancee, considering that she, like the other Pillar Heirs, was automatically useless.

"And?"

"I'm surprised."

"Surprised by what exactly, miss?"

"Where to start, maybe from the moment I saw him using Dark Light."

Venelana said to him; she got permission from Zeoticus to say this to her grandfather, because she needed something that would definitely attract her attention to meet him. When Zekram heard that, he looked like he was hit by 9 lightning bullets everywhere.

"That should be impos... Raylas. Yeah, Rayla." Yeah."

Zekram muttered silently.

"Who is he?"

ask Venelana slowly.

"Rayla Lilian Lucifer, daughter of Lucifer, and Lilith, sister of Rizevim Livan Lucifer. He disappeared years ago after arguing with his father about something. We assume that he left the Demon Race's territory and went to another Pantheon dimensional realm. Who knows, she had gathered with Lord Gremory earlier and even gave birth to a child."

Zekram replied after a long silence.

"Is he still ..."

"No, died after giving birth. I'm sorry."

Venelana said softly. He knew from Zeoticus that his mother died after he was born.

"I want to meet him."

"He wants the same thing."

"Why?"

"With his words to discuss the future of the next generation and the Devil as a whole."

Venelana answered as Zekram's face darkened.

"So he noticed it too.hmm..."

Said grimly.

"Watching what exactly?"

"He noticed that below there was a problem with us. Our leadership, the Four Great Demons, is obsessed with goals that are impossible to achieve. World domination is a pipe dream, perhaps if the Three Factions unite, there may be a chance, but now night is impossible."

While Zekram has great respect for Satan, he is also aware of their self-destructive tendencies and the Great War to come. They all desperately wanted to rule the world, while they were unable to defeat even their Pantheon God.

It was understandable, because the difference between them was too great; big G was too powerful, probably already at the level of Ophis, a true Being of the Laws.

'At present, in Draconic Deus, there are only a few Legal Beginnings that are known to the public. The most famous of course are Great Red and Ophis. Then there was also Trihexa; meanwhile from the Law, it was overwhelmed by Chaos and went mad. Of the Pantheons, the existences on the level of the Form of Law are Christian Big G, Shiva of the Hindus, and the Celestial Emperor of China.'

Zekram thought in his head. For Christian Pantheon as a whole, it's good that Big G is Being of Law; at least, it protects them from foreign threats.

While the Three Factions frequently attacked each other, they also often conspired when faced with outside threats.

'Fortunately, Great Red and Ophis were interested in leaving the Dimensional Gap; trihexa had long since fallen asleep. They're not a problem. Only Shiva and the Jade Emperor remain. From what the spies found, there was a conflict between the marriage of Shiva and Indra in the Hindu Pantheon. Jade Emperor had never left the Heavenly Palace for several thousand years.'

"We become vulnerable. Without the existence of someone at the Big G level, our Pantheon becomes vulnerable to those at the same level. Fortunately, most of those people were more interested in increasing their strength; like the Jade Emperor, he created a cultivation that was attractive to mortals, but they couldn't reach higher than the Early Ultimate-Class."

While cultivators were interesting projects of Jade Emperors, the highest cultivation stage one could attain was only as strong as the Ultimate-Class Preliminary Stage. It was understandable, because the Celestial Emperor created it based on the bastardization of the divine energy of the Gods.

Without rising as Gods, they would be stuck at that level of strength to death. Of course, every Pantheon was very careful when promoting someone into a Godhead. Still, soul cultivators were perfect for demons, as they were stronger than ordinary mortal souls.

"Send a letter to the Gremory Family that I will visit next week."

Zekram said slowly while looking through the window, observing the surroundings of the Underworld.
