"That is a good idea. What are our prospects for the future of the war Lord Zekram? I have personally thought about weakening Church and Grigori on the Earth. We could release some of their confidential information to several other Pantheons; they will do the dirty work for us. You should have surely thought about something like this."

I said as we were sitting and drinking tea in my library.

"Indeed. The Church is a great weapon of Heaven, though they are also heavily relying on Heaven. If the support of Heaven stops, they would have great problems with defending their own territories, especially those that were taken from other Pantheons, especially in northern countries and Eastern countries. Additionally, we could weaken their supply of Faith, meaning they won't have as many Divine Crystals used to cultivate angels."

Similarly, as Devils were feeding on souls and negative emotions to gain strength quickly, Angels could do the same with Divine Crystals. Those were basically crystallized faith power, which is created by gathering it from followers. Gods commonly use it to strengthen their Divine Power or create divine messengers like angels.

Olympians use it to create various monsters, Aesir on the other side to strengthen Valkyries or Einherjar, and much more of other uses. They could be used in Divine Magic or Holy Magic to boost up their power. And most importantly, they are used to strengthen the Divine Kingdom. That was the reason why Heaven was practically an impenetrable fortress in Draconic Deus.

The number of Divine Crystals used in strengthening Heaven was eclipsing other Pantheons easily.

"I have thought about selling this information to Asgard, Takamagahara, Vampires, and Olympians. Those prideful greeks have lost many followers to the Church, and the same could be said about Aesir. Vampires would be glad to take revenge upon Church, and Takamagahara wants to cleanse their territory from the influence of Church that is lurking in Japan."

I stated my opinion about which Pantheon and Faction should contact.

"Problematic part is, someone needs to go there and negotiate. It would be best if we went there personally. The most problematic ones to communicate with would be Olympians and Vampires, so I will contact them. They are not something young devil should bother with."

Said Zekram, and I just nodded in agreement and gratefulness. I was aware it was tough to communicate with stubborn Greek Gods, which were probably more arrogant than Four Satans altogether. Vampires were the same, and I didn't even know their location.

On the other hand, communication with Asgard and Takamagahara was far easier. From what I heard, Odin was a pretty reasonable god, and the same could be said about Amaterasu, God-Queen of Shinto Pantheon.

"So. That will leave me with Asgard and Takamagahara. I will make it done. Should we also exchange the intelligence we have gathered? The more damage Grigori and Heaven suffer from the hands of other Pantheons, the better."

I know it sounded a bit hypocritical. I was aware of the fact as the weaker we got, I mean the whole Three Factions, the worse situation in the future would be for us. On the other hand, nobody would stop the upcoming war just because I had several very good arguments that we could be easily targeted of Factions that have Beings of Law. Nobody would listen to me, and there is a high probability of being branded as a traitor. So, for now, the only thing I could do is follow the flow.

"Young Lucifer... what do you think we should do if hypothetically Four Satans perish in the war?"

Zekram asked me with a glint in his eyes while I fell into deep thought.

"Kill their descendants, for a reason mentioned, and ally ourselves with species that are not part of any factions, such as Dragon Clans and Oni Tribes, to create a strong nation. During the war, we will lose countless devils, and after the war, I don't doubt descendants of the Satans would be hell-bent on continuing the war. That needs to be prevented at all costs. This war isn't about who will win, as I think nobody will win. Everyone will suffer, subsequently creating a ceasefire to recuperate losses of lives. My thought is, that many dragon flocks would be a great addition to us if we were to create a new nation upon the ashes of the old one. The same could be said about Oni Tribes living in the Underworld. Even in nature, they are similar to us."

I said part of my plan. It was a good plan, a plan for Baator.

Dragons were the most powerful creatures; most of the dragons were on High-Class just after a few years of their life, with many of them with sufficient training could reach Ultimate-Class.

Also, all Dragon Kings were Pinnacle of their Class, with the potential to reach Heavenly Dragon Class. If dragons united under one banner, they would probably be the strongest faction in Draconic Deus.

Just one word from Great Red, and it would be done. Unfortunately for them, and fortunately for us, we could recruit them to create a Faction together. When you think about it, Dragons are pretty similar to us, Devils.

Both of our species are power-hungry; we want to be stronger than anybody, we are greedy, and we are also lustful. Just a great combination together.

Zekram was thinking deeply about what I said. He was in a deep dilemma. He deeply respected Four Satans for what they had done; they have built the Devil Race and cultivated it where it is now. On the other side, he was a pragmatist and was aware of the fact that they are leading us toward our death, albeit slowly, but for sure.

He was aware that devils would be destroyed either by other factions or in endless civil wars that would come if we continued slowly.

"I have decided."

Said a Zekram with a deep and stern voice.
