It took a few hours for Sheila to create a portal leading to the underworld, from the already existing portal. Unlike the usual golden colour, this portal was purple in colour and was created from Sheila's [Space Affinity] rather than the [Portal Creation] skill.
"There, now we just need to get your follower to go through." Sheila said and wiped a drop of sweat from her forehead. It had taken a bit of her energy to trace the spatial coordinates of the portal, which took a lot of skill that even made Mephistopheles impressed, and it took even more energy to open the portal itself.
"Yeah, let's head over to Asmodious. I'm sure she wouldn't mind running a little errand for me. Creature, you stay here." Lucifer said and opened a portal, but before could step through, Mephistopheles said something
"If it would mean the same to my Lord, I would like to go back to my home. I still have a lot to learn about this realm." Mephistopheles said
"Sure." Lucifer replied and they stepped through the portal and disappeared.
"Hmm, and so the great game begins." Mephistopheles said and opened a portal of his own before stepping through.
*******************************************
A portal opened in Asmodious' room and she lazily sat up on her bed and yawned.
"Eddy, don't tell me you've come back for round ten." Asmodious said sleepily and Lucifer's eye twitched while the others just looked at her curiously. They, not even Luciel, have met Asmodious before and even though they have heard about her from Lucifer, they didn't really know what to expect.
"Wake up Asmodious." Lucifer said patiently and Asmodious finally opened her eyes and looked around the room.
"Good night my lord, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be exploring Mt. Shamiel? And why is there two of you?" Asmodious asked as she looked between Luciel and Lucifer curiously, she noticed the other Angels as well, but she didn't want to talk them, waiting for Lucifer to introduce them first. She didn't know much about Angels, and she didn't know if they would take offense if she suddenly started talking to them.
"This is my brother Luciel, and these are my friends Azazel, Belphegor, Sheila, Eva and Gardena." Lucifer introduced and Asmodious' eyes widened
"My lord, you had friends." Asmodious suddenly blurted out and the veins in his forehead bulged, while the others chuckled and looked at her amusedly. Lucifer had always come off a bit strange to Asmodious and although she didn't know much about Angels, she doubted this was normal for them and if it was, then she would rather not meet anymore.
"What do you mean by that?" Lucifer glared at her
"Nothing much. So why are you here my lord? Does it have something to do with that rune I showed you earlier?" Asmodious asked in an effort to change the subject and it worked.
"Yes it does, we have discovered that there is a third realm and we want you and a group of your most powerful subordinates to explore it for us." Lucifer said and Asmodious' eyes narrowed suspiciously
"Will you not be coming with us my lord?" Asmodious asked
"Unfortunately no, we will not." Lucufer said regretfully
"Of course, we will be more than happy to fulfill this task for you my lord, but to complete this task as effectively as possible, we will need all the information we can on this realm." Asmodious said and Lucifer told them all he knew about the realm, he and the others realized that they didn't know as much as they thought they did. While Mephistopheles has told them about how chaotic the realm was, he had not told them about the creatures that lived there, nor the type of environment it had or any geographical feature of the realm.
'Did he do it on purpose or was it an accident? Either way, he is going to tell us later.' Lucifer thought
"That's not a lot to go on, but very well. I will assemble a small team of skilled fighters, but we will need powerful weapons and armour to venture into this realm." Asmodious said
"Alright, I'm sure Azazel can get you weapon and armour, we'll be back tomorrow." Lucifer said and opened a portal, but before he could step through, Sheila stopped him.
"I think we should head back to Bel's mansion, we had have more than enough excitement for one day." She said and Lucifer reluctantly agreed and opened a portal, taking them to Bel's mansion.
***********************************************
Meanwhile, Mephistopheles has opened three portals leading to the underworld. One portal was opened underneath the King of Araelia's castle meant for him and his servants to enter. The other was placed in the forest, close to Araelia, allowing Mammon and her soldiers to enter. The third was opened in Cebras, allowing Beelzebub , the twelve women and the rest of the Fames to enter, the ordinary humans were scared, but with the promise of wealth and power, they happily followed Beelzebub into the portal. After they left, Mephistopheles made sure to collect his [Demonic Cores] and hide the portals so that they won't be discovered.
"This is going to be very interesting to watch, I wonder how the Demon miasma in the underworld will affect humans. I wonder if it'll even affect those Angelic followers, so much to discover. And before I forget." Mephistopheles said as he stood in the sky above Cebras. Suddenly, four red runes appeared in the air and out of them came a black mist, and they slowly shaped themselves into four identical clones of Mephistopheles.
"Keep an eye on them." Mephistopheles said and the four clones split up, three of them went through the portals to the underworld after the three groups while the last one waited at the portal created by Sheila.
"Now that that's taken care of, I wonder how my [Evil Speech] is affecting the Angels. I guess I'll see tomorrow won't I." Mephistopheles said and laughed as he opened a portal and went back to his temporary home.
