If what this being said is true, then Lilith who was in a coma has been tortured in various experiments by her own son. In the story, Roxanne always thought that Lilith was pitiful for having her corpse not being able to properly rest. But now she felt that amount of sympathy is nothing but an ounce of what she deserved. Imagine yourself being used as various experiment specimens while having a conscience of your body. If her spirit isn't broken she might have gone crazy instead. Wait he said gaining semi-immortality is given as a gift for participating in the trial so that means…
" Did my father survive the great war…." Roxanne asked hopefully.
The being went stiff for a moment and continued, "As in body yes, but as in soul I don't know ." he said warily studying Roxanne's expression to check if she would attack him again.
Roxanne narrowed her eyes and her mind began to work overtime, her being ciel made her smart and calculative to some degree. She began to think of every possible scenario as to where and how her father's soul was separated from his body.
After a few minutes, she could imagine some reasons for her father's soul disappearance. But unlike Ciel, she is not sure of her thoughts, so turned to the anxious being who was fearing for his life after seeing Roxanne's silence for some more information.
" tell me all about my father's death and why you possess his body," she said authoritatively.
He hurriedly nodded and began to say everything he knew, after an hour or so Roxanne nodded her head and asked,
" I will deal with my father's missing soul later for now tell me how do I enter the trial "
The being awkwardly scratched his head and said,
" I think the question you should ask is when will you become its owner"
Roxanne blinked her eyes repeatedly unable to understand the words that were spoken. The being continued,
"At your birth, we noticed that you were the most suitable for the next ruler as your father was still alive. But then you started to release a pressure that only we as the underworld felt. At that time we felt you are not our ruler but our owner as you have an authority that we all must bow. "
Roxanne was puzzled why was that and kept a mental note to ask Ciel this later. But the next he said embarrassed her a little bit.
" and you showed me true fear by your aura alone today, and I although say this but I am the strongest among us guardians so I can safely say that you don't need the trial as you we all would do your biding your majesty "
Saying so he knelt and bowed his head to pay respect.
Roxanne was amused by this as she could say that he didn't tell the whole truth while explaining himself but even if he didn't tell the whole truth she has his loyalty. Which was great after she heard his part of the story.
" So what do I have to do now, do I have to go to the throne and sit on it " asked Roxanne not forgetting her first goal which was to get her inheritance.
" That wouldn't be necessary as I the will of the underworld and the representative of the guardians of the underworld declare that our queen has returned "As he said that Roxanne felt another connection to her soul.
She concentrated on that connection and found out that she could see the whole 7th layer of hell which the biblical faction owned. She also felt another layer that was beyond the 7th which was said to be the last of the underworld. She then asked,
" so I have only access to the 7th layer and what is the 8th layer I Sense. And also tell me the dynamic of your system "
The entity before Roxanne continued speaking, elaborating on the structure and mechanics of the dimensional system she now had access to:
"Yes, Your Majesty, you currently have access only to the layer I control. The other six layers possess their own distinct wills, and they must submit to you before you can assume full control over them. As for the eighth layer, it is the most ancient, the origin from which the other layers were born. It is, in essence, our home."
The being's tone carried a sense of reverence as they spoke of the eighth layer.
"Within that layer lies Your Majesty's throne and castle, a place that will only be accessible once the other layers have been subdued. Each of the seven layers has its own will and distinct purpose, often known by names such as Hell, the Realm of Shadows, and Helheim."*
He paused briefly as if to allow Roxanne to absorb the magnitude of the system she now ruled over.
"Each layer holds its sustenance. For example, I embody the Seven Deadly Sins, with my particular aspect being Pride. The others have their own corresponding sources of power and balance. However, to fully understand and control them, Your Majesty will need to experience them firsthand."
The entity bowed slightly, recognizing the monumental task ahead for Roxanne but also expressing confidence in her eventual triumph over the system's many layers. Roxanne sighed internally and thought 'Well looks like I have to visit the other layers too, sigh this is very bothersome but this is all for the better future '
" anyway since I have full access to the biblical hell or the 7th layer what is your duty then " asked Roxanne curiously, I mean since she basically got him fired from his job since he bas no control over his own layer now.
" well I will be giving Your Majesty all the assistance you need and I still have some control over my layer since it's still basically my own body. Your Majesty can also temporarily hand over your authority to me for me to manage the realm. "
Roxanne nodded and stared at this guy for a moment and asked "Did my father really not give you any name, from the information I got you have no name, "
That being said "It is not that Lucifer didn't name me, it is that he couldn't, he was still too weak at that time to name me and I rarely met with him. But if you like could your majesty name me, this shall be my greatest honor. "
Roxanne thought ' Did Amy mess up this universe and add that tensura naming rule here, got to ask her the next time we meet '
" Very well from this day forth, you shall be known as Diablo "
But contrary to what Roxanne expected diablo didn't glow as she didn't feel her mana depleting, so felt strange but she couldn't ask her doubt from him as he had no idea of the tensura naming logic and rules.
