A few days later.
I wouldn't want to bore you with the meeting, it isn't my intention to go through it all. Explain all the details, each nuance in every person's manner of speech, what they're doing or where they're at right now.
If you're so curious then here's a general update on them.
Diablo is in an unnamed place looking at an unnamed project for a confidential experiment, Lucifer is in the courts as usual, Beelzebub is in a field, looking at a new breed of crops in a dimension, Leviathan was in his house with project blueprints as his wallpaper and Melphistoles, our Emperor, was recently looking at the developments of a young secondary dimension.
We called through our holograms, discussed our priorities, and began to assign roles.
The goal, simplified, was to Siphon Resources from Earth to the Inkosyth Empire.
The conversation went like this, "We need to Siphon Resources from Earth to Inkosyth" Melphistoles spoke summarizing our analysis.
Everyone's eyes stared at me. I stared behind me, which was empty, I did the "Who me?" look. Then everyone said, "Yes You!"
Melphistoles looked at me and said, "I'm entrusting this task with you"
I looked around, where did my comrades go? Where are all my friends? Ahhh I'm all alone once more. "Of course Sovereign," I responded.
"Tell us the plan to Siphon their resources to us"
I calmed my breath, I heard my heartbeat, slightly closed my eyes as plans whisked through my mind, like salmon in a stream, then I plucked the salmon that I needed and gently opened my eyes.
"We can enter through low resource countries and states, start to replace the world economy until they become reliant on us to function everyday. From there, we can begin to open new markets with our goods and services, even establishing portals to commission the trade. Our end goal isn't the people, it's the minerals in outer space. To accomplish this we'll need to use energy sources we get from Inkosyth or dimensional portals. Through this way we can capitalize on their everyday goods, integrate ourselves into the financial ecosystem for centuries to come, and completely have the world economy in our hands as we continue to replace their essential services with cheaper, more efficient alternatives. The next step is to create a civilization built off Inkosyth's resources that will be able to harvest their star's energy making them intrinsically linked to us but at this point it's mere speculation."
The Emperor looked pleased, "Then I'm sure that it'll get accomplished. What resources do you need?"
I looked over at Mammon, "I'll need to contact Mammon for the resources on opening portals in Tertiary Dimensions, and Diablo for the military resources"
Both Mammon and Diablo nodded. The meeting ended on that note, once we began to talk over the status of our Empire.
The bright glow of morning shone through the ashen clouds that loomed across the sky like a silk cloth is spread across the sky, with patches of light passing through resembling a tarp with holes letting the sunlight's strong beams come through like pillars of light, as the tame sunlight softly pressed through the sky's cloak.
It reminded me of being underwater, but the surface off where the water touched the air was the ashen clouds, and I was currently right below the surface. Looking into the sky, like a fish looking into the air.
The first thing to do was to explore Earth first, and I spared no time.
