Chapter 240 Red Thoughts More Suitable for Demon World Babies

"Do you know my opinion of the Naberius clan?"

Shesi continued speaking, unprompted.

"Before I understood, hearing the term 'guard dog' made me truly believe they were just pets. Perhaps the current one is indeed a dog barely clinging to life."

Upon hearing this, the figures behind Shesi and Shura Hime clenched their fists.

"However, when someone starts talking about destiny and takes pride in their identity, I genuinely respect them. Kalego, perhaps you don't know what he did. Was he caught in a dispute? Was he punched? When I heard from Opera-senpai that he would bite Opera's tail even if he fainted, I knew that from that moment, Kalego-kun had gained another identity: The Watcher."

...Inside Netherworld Tower...

665th floor.

"So, next… the 13 Crowns' meeting. The 13 Crowns Dog Emperor and the Outer King are preparing for it and are therefore absent. The 13 Crowns Baal has been stripped of his 13 Crowns authority and imprisoned. The former 13 Crowns Glutton King's external injuries have fully healed, but he has not yet regained consciousness. After various incidents, all sorts of opinions are flying around the Netherworld, dissatisfaction with the current 13 Crowns, curiosity about the new 13 Crowns, and the betrayal of the 13 Crowns Thunder Emperor Baal… regarding the ability to devour one's own kind… and the proposal to abolish Lord Delkira's seat. Although that… Lord Delkira's spokesperson said the position wasn't important, but…"

"Putting everything else aside, I absolutely disagree with abolishing Lord Delkira's seat," Amaymon, the Head of the Four Directions, was the first to stand up and object.

"If Lord Delkira's chair is removed, that will truly cause the balance of the Netherworld to collapse!"

"But public opinion is very important, isn't it? The prevailing opinion in wizard society is probably a dangerous judgment, you know."

"Speaking of public opinion, isn't it just that people find it interesting and stir up trouble for fun?"

"Also, since Baal's position is vacant, then let Barbatos…"

The market-like noise made Sullivan, on the platform, dizzy. The disappearance of Shesi and Shura Hime had already given him a huge headache. In this situation, Sullivan couldn't calm down and think at all.

"Knock knock?"

Everyone was startled and turned to look at the window.

"Hello, we are the Barbatos family."

All demons:???

"Pardon the intrusion."

The Great Leader descended from the flying bird.

Three Greats all looked at The Great Leader.

"The Great Leader, why are you here?"

"Hmph, if I didn't come, our Bachiko would be bullied by you all," The Great Leader glared at Three Greats, annoyed.

Three Greats also looked embarrassed.

"And I brought you something," The Great Leader tossed Iruma to Sullivan.

"Iruma? How are you with The Great Leader?"

"This fellow came uninvited and chattered on and on. Thanks to him, I've come to see your decision regarding the 13 Crowns." The Great Leader's voice startled everyone. But it was true, a 13 Crowns position was indeed vacant due to Baal's betrayal. However… if there were two candidates, but also considering the external push to remove Lord Delkira's position… "If I remember correctly, didn't that so-called spokesperson already say it? Lord Delkira doesn't care whether that position is reserved for him or not."

Upon hearing this, Sullivan fell into thought, then a smile curved his lips. Thinking about it, that position… doesn't seem very important, does it?

"That's true. After all, Lord Delkira has never once sat in that position; he's always been outside," Sullivan recalled that when Lord Delkira was present, the meetings were always held on that floating island, always with a smile… "If that's the case…" Sullivan looked at Iruma.

The new 13 Crowns positions:

Three Greats: Sullivan, Levi, Belial.

Second Seat of the Heroes: Beelzebub.

Heavenly Eye: Astaroth.

Spirit King: Paimon.

Head of the Four Directions: Amaymon.

Head of Lust: Asmodeus Amaryllis.

Director of the Border Control Security Bureau: Azazel Anri.

Finally, the three newly appointed 13 Crowns:

Outer King: Mephisto.

Dog Emperor: Naberius Narnia.

Boiling Half-King: Beelzebub Zebulbra.

Top Bow: Barbatos Bachiko.

"Lord Barbatos."

Bachiko flinched upon hearing this, then immediately responded.

"Present."

"We extend our deepest gratitude for your decision. Until now, the 13 Crowns and the Three Heroes of the Demonic Valley have had no interaction unless our interests aligned; we each independently guarded our respective domains, never interfering with each other's activities, thereby avoiding conflicts between powerful individuals. Your assumption of the 13 Crowns has opened a brand new path for us—a future where the 13 Crowns and the Three Heroes work together. Your existence symbolizes a definite [connection] and the [possibility of a new era] between the two powers. Lord Barbatos Bachiko, leader of the Barbatos family, one of the Three Heroes, I express my sincere joy and gratitude for your appointment."

Upon hearing this, Bachiko immediately bowed.

"Yes… huh?"

As Bachiko crouched to bow, he noticed the floor… why had it turned black? What was it? A flower? Bachiko immediately jumped away. Everyone else also watched the flower warily.

Shesi, holding Shura Hime, jumped out of the flower bud.

"That scared me to death. I almost thought I'd be killed by Kalego-kun instead of the final boss…" Shesi complained as he emerged.

"Shesi!?" Sullivan stood up and immediately rushed over.

"Ah… it seems we're back, Lady Shura Hime," Shesi knew they were definitely back when he saw his grandfather.

Time rewound to two hours ago.

"What Watchers, what guard dogs? In my opinion, demons without ambition are all idiots! Look at demon society now, suppressed in its development by the Demon Gods. Does it even look like a demon society anymore? Demons should be fighting, free! Look now, searching for companions? Ridiculous! It's all because of those hateful Demon Gods…"

Upon hearing this, Shura Hime's gaze, with three parts confusion, three parts shock, and four parts… well, it was a pie chart of expressions, as she looked at Shesi.

His response was Shesi's warm, large hand gripping Shura Hime's hand.

"The Demon Gods' power source comes from the Netherworld's environment, or rather, the Demon Gods have become one with the environment. If we develop recklessly, it will definitely cause damage to the environment. And if demons need reform…" Shesi first stated the pros and cons, then pulled out a small, purplish-red booklet from his pocket.

"'Good Mountains and Good Waters are Good Mountains—Netherworld Version.'"

This time, not only Baal was stunned, but the two little ones behind him were also stunned. What in the world did he pull out?

"Red ideology, more suitable for Netherworld babies."

So some demons might ask, what does this have to do with what Baal said?]

Good question, absolutely nothing. Mr. Baal's idea was simply to return the Netherworld to its original chaotic state, purely that. Shesi was completely rambling, but only by doing so could he muddy the waters. Otherwise, if you try to brainwash him by saying, 'Let's talk about ideals,' he'll reply, 'My ideal is this.' If you try to discuss your views with him, his views are simply that.
