GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Many don't know much about the Ominous Reaper before he began to terrorize mid-rank demons but they know that is has only been a couple of months since he became known. That means he has gone from being a low-rank demon to a high-rank demon in only a few scant months. The fact that he evolved so quickly from being a mid-rank demon also proved that he really killed those 300 high-rank demons. Where else is he going to get the needed resources to grow his mark of sin so quickly?contemporary romance

It doesn't matter if he killed them as a mid-rank or high-rank demon, the fact that he could kill them without those who revived having memories of their death is enough reason for high-rank demons to flock to him. That single feat proved him to be future demon lord material and they want to be a part of that. The news that he could do something that only the demon lord should be able to do only proved that conjecture.

News spread wide and far. High-rank demons came from far and wide to join the house of Chaos and become demon nobles because fusing sin energy with mana is difficult and because the Ominous reaper has a bright future. The news of it even reached the center of the plane.

Centre Of The Plane.

The demon lord, Beelta, was still fuming. It's a shame that the trembling of her gigantic round body and her tempestuous mood didn't affect the energy well one bit. Her struggle and anger is too small to affect the energy well in any way. So she has been taking it out on other demons.

Eating, more like gorging, also helps to soothe her mind but she is ever the efficient demon even when she is angry. She has been eating a lot of innocent demons recently.

She doesn't care where they came from. They could be demons that she had her subordinates force into her servitude, prisoners, or poor defenseless demons that they demon-napped off the street. What matters is that she is taking her anger out on them and also soothing her mood with food. It is like killing two demonic birds with one volcanic rock.

Her method was working and she was calming down when the unfavorable news hit. One of her subordinates rushed to inform her of what Khaos Aeternus is about to do. She had instructed them to keep tabs on him. She screamed when she heard the news.

"What? He is the Lord of the house of Chaos and he can evolve high-rank demons to demon noble rank? What kind of nonsense is this?" She asked her bowed subordinate.

The subordinate didn't answer. It was a rhetorical question. Even the demon lord who thought the idea that Aeternus could create a house was absurd believed it. She had expected as much from him. There have been records of genius high-rank demons getting Accumulation and even though there is no record of high-rank demons creating a house she chose to expect it.

The first case where high-rank demons got Accumulation is rare but believable, while the second where a high-rank demon creates a noble house is unbelievable, yet she believed it is possible for Aeternus because she wasn't willing to underestimate him.

Aeternus is a talented demon and will be extraordinary even by her standards. What she couldn't believe is that he even went above that to gain the ability of a demon lord. Now he can purportedly make demon nobles. She had known that letting him evolve was a bad idea but she didn't know it would be this bad.

She spit out the demon she was chewing from her giant maw. She has lost all her appetite now.

"What am I to do?" She asked herself.

For the first time in a long while, she feels desperate and anxious. She isn't afraid for her life and she isn't in any danger but the situation is spiraling out of control. She thought she had things under control. Aeternus was supposed to be stuck in the domain of high-rank demons slowly empowering his Accumulation but it isn't going to be of much help in his fight against her.

Accumulation is a temporary boost that raises one to the level of the demon lord. Even so, only the best Accumulation can reach her level. She is no ordinary demon lord, she has reached the half-divine rank with a state of existence of 17. Lesser demons can't harm her. The most they can do is inconvenience her.

There are some demon nobles with divine rank Accumulation who can pose a threat to her. But no matter how much Accumulation they have, they will run out of it with usage and time. Something temporary cannot compare to something permanent. She even has a greater advantage than that.

Demon nobles don't fight each other even though they have Accumulation because once it is used, it is lost. They will be weakened even if they win. If two sides fight, the side that will win is the side with the most Accumulation. Her ability to create demon nobles makes her side always at an advantage. She has enough demon nobles to take on the cooperative attack of the disgruntled noble families.

The established noble families had banded together to fight her before and lost too. It was the war that took place 10,000 years ago. So what can one noble demon do to her? By her estimates, no matter how much Aeternus accumulates, it cannot compare to the Accumulation of her noble demons who have had ample time and divine power to empower themselves. One of them would have been enough to capture Aeternus.

"A war is coming." She thought gloomily.

It seems he would be able to put up a fight. She had been prepared for war but not against Aeternus. Orders have already been sent out to prepare her forces but their targets were the noble families. This development has changed things.
