An unexpected event was happening in Hell. The Demon Lords were actually gathering in one place. The last time the Demon Lords gathered was when Eden and their other alliances almost broke their way into Hell. The Demons who knew about the situation were feeling uneasy because the Demon Lords would only gather when an important situation had arisen because the Demon Lords hated being around each other and they only tolerated each other because they had a lot of enemies.

Six different varying figures were seen standing in a circle as they stared at each other. The still was broken when a figure who had the legs of a goat with a hairy tail coming out of his rear end, the torso of a human with red skin with different engravings on them and packed with muscles. Opened his ugly mouth which looked that of a dragon with a bull's head and goat horns curling to the side.

"Have you felt it too? The Sigil of Gluttony is gone."

When the others heard his words, light shone into their eyes if they had any.

"Huh, I guess I wasn't the only one who felt it too. Satan do you have any idea why that insect's sigil would just disappear?"

A thin humanoid figure with multiple faces grafted onto his upper body asked the figure who was now identified as Satan the question they all had on their mind. The thin humanoid figure was constantly twitching as its bulging eyes took up half of his head.

"Yes, there are only two reasons why a Sigil would disappear. One, the person holding the Sigil has died. Two, the person holding the sigil has discarded his identity as a Demon Lord."

"I doubt Beelzebub would die because he is one of the strongest among us, and we have to keep him in check, so he doesn't try to eat any of the Demon Lord. So, I think he discarded his identity as a Demon Lord."

As the others heard Satan's words their faces felled. Their situation wasn't good, they had been eternal rivals with Eden as it was engraved into their bones to hate one another. Eden had been close to announcing the Second Holy War against Hell because of the countless trespasses from Hell. If Eden had heard that a Demon Lord was missing, they would eagerly start the Second Holy War.

"But why would he fucking discard his identity as a Demon Lord?!"

The thin figured questioned and Satan just faced him.

"I don't know Mammon. Beelzebub has the most eccentric personality out of all of us. Although I'm curious of why he would do it, that is not the important situation right now. We have to prepare for war against Eden before they find out. If we can win this war, we would have a higher chance of claiming the Apex World known as Earth. Multiple Havens have been fighting for that World for a long time and this could be our chance to turn the table."

"What do you guys think of this?"

Satan stopped as he stared at the rest of the figures waiting for their decision. The person who agreed to support him first was a man with a grey ash skin, his face was undoubtedly handsome, but his eyes were shadowed by a dark veil. He had a halo above his head that was made out of darkness, his pitch-black wings swayed to the wind, and he raised his cross sword that was four times his height in agreement.

"I'm glad to have your support Lucifer, because we all know the first person Eden would kill would be you."

Satan smiled as he stared at Lucifer, but his smile came off as an ugly snarl. Lucifer just snorted and stood still as a statue. The next person who agreed was a serpent like monster that had no eyes. The most noticeable feature about the monster was the creature's size and its beautiful fins that ran all the way done from its head to its tail. The creature didn't have scales but a rubber like black substance that replaced it and multiple scars that criss crossed over its head with a gigantic jaw that made it look more like fearsome.

The creature then faced Satan as it spoke in a deep voice, "Satan stop pretending like you haven't done anything to Eden. We all know that Eden wants you dead as much as Lucifer when you snuck into the Garden of Eden and destroyed Purity."

All that replied him was a sickening laugh from Satan.

"Leviathan I'm glad you remember that. It was one of my best acts against Eden, they really thought they could grow a Tree of Purity with those two mortals."

The meeting ended when the four out of the five agreed to Satan's proposal that being Lucifer, Leviathan, Asmodeus, and Mammon. Belphegor didn't even vote as he just slept through the entire meeting. He only left the place of meeting five days after it had concluded.
