Next, Mephistopheles decided to visit was the city of Cebras. It was a city filled with criminals and human mercenaries, the kingdom has been through a recent civil war where the entire royal family has been killed. Since then, the city has been divided into many factions, all vying for complete control of kingdom. The reason the Angels didn't help with civil wars like these was because they saw things like this as tedious and since they didn't have any followers in this city, they had even less reason to get involve. The reason Mephistopheles came here was because of one of the criminal groups here, known as Gluttonous Reapers or the Fames as they were known by some. They were a low tier group a few months ago, until out of nowhere, gangs and other criminal groups around the city started disappearing and the Fames started to rise in ranks. Of course, it was all Mephistopheles' doing.
"Bee, it has been too long." Mephistopheles said with a toothy smile and Beelzebub who was currently devouring a large amount of meat along with a group of around twelve women beside her doing the same.
"Ah, Mephistopheles, you scheming bastard, what brings you here?" Beelzebub asked with a smile that showed chunks of meat stuck in her teeth. She was a tall, muscular woman with long red haired, she was wearing clean leather clothing and had a mountain of gold and other precious stones behind her. When Mephistopheles first met her, it was just her and the twelve women who were currently beside her scarfing down food. They were in bad state, covered in blood and serious injuries, Mephistopheles gave her the same proposal as the other two and she didn't hesitate to agree along with her friends. They cultivated demonic energy, crushed other gangs and recruited more members to form the Fames, but unlike the other two, she didn't allow anyone other than her and her twelve friends to cultivate demonic energy, this was done because she didn't trust the others except her twelve friends, she had no doubt in her mind that they would betray her if they got stronger than her.
"I just came here to inform you that I will be opening a portal to the underworld soon, and I want you and your friends to enter it." He replied
"And why would we do that?" One of the girls asked
"Because you owe me, and you will gain even more power than you currently possess if you do. If you can survive that is." He said
"Sure, we'll do it. I'm a woman of my word after all." Beelzebub said and Mephistopheles grinned widely

Mephistopheles opened a portal near the forest of the kingdom of Araelia, but nowhere close to where Lucifer and the others were. He quickly closed the portal so that they couldn't sense it, two abyssal black, bat like wings unfurled from his back. He flapped his wings and flew towards where the Angels were waiting, he made sure to suppress his aura so that they wouldn't suspect anything.
"You arrived, that was quicker than I thought." Lucifer said
"I made sure to arrive as quickly as possible, oh radiant one." Mephistopheles said and made a conscious effort to start panting
"Your wings look so weird." Belphegor said and touched Mephistopheles' wings, and he had to stop himself from making a face and attacking Bel. He did not like being treated like a toy to satiate someone else's curiosity.
"I believe I appeared somewhere around here." Mephistopheles said and walked away from Bel, who simply shrugged and followed after him. Mephistopheles led them with purpose through the forest and they all arrived at the portal, it was a a dark red portal that looked exactly like the ones created by Mephistopheles. Lucifer looked at the portal with sparkling eyes while the others looked at it with apprehension, especially Sheila who had a deep frown.
"Yes, we can now send in Asmodious and the others into the portal and collect some information." Lucifer said excitedly
"Hold it, there is something strange going on here. I didn't sense the portal at all and remember what happened to him when he touched our portal, what makes you think the same won't happen to them?" Sheila asked with a frown and Lucifer had to admit she had a point and thought about a solution.
'Hmm, that is a problem, I have never used my portals to teleport anyone that doesn't have demonic energy in their system. I can create a spatial portal using a rune, but that would seem suspicious. What a dilemma.' Mephistopheles thought amused, the reason Sheila wasn't able to sense the portal was because of invisible runes that kept it hidden and prevented it from being accessed by anyone not authorized by Mephistopheles himself. Surprisingly, Azazel was the one who gave his girlfriend an explanation, solving his problem.
"You probably weren't able to sense the portal because it is made using a different type of energy used. Think about it, you've only ever seen portals created by Holy energy and this energy is weird and new, so maybe you haven't gotten time to adjust to the spatial disturbances created by it yet. And as for the followers, can't you create a portal by using the spatial coordinates in the portal." Azazel said and Sheila looked at him before sighing
"You're probably right, I'll get started on trying to create a portal." She said and Mephistopheles had to suppress a grin
