The Hell

3. Plan

Satan's POV:

I, Yoongi, and supra-officials from all over Hell gathered in the 'Hall of Vecrain' to discuss the proposal related to the construction of 'Arin', a huge energy recycling site in Veren. Every high-ranked Helian was present, except for Taehyung.

No one here liked Taehyung, but his presence was crucial in these meetings as he was the king and no order could be passed without his consent.

Since the time Maya visited Taehyung, he took his plan very seriously, as he believed it would bring guaranteed victory in the war. We all tried our best to make him stay but since he wanted to learn new powers, he left. That man never gets satisfied with what he has. He's always yearning for more.

We all sat through the entire five hours, discussing the subject but without him, the gathering was meaningless, so I decided to conclude the meeting.

"Dismiss", I spurted out, as everyone started leaving the hall, except Yoongi.

In few minutes, the entire hall emptied, leaving me and Yoongi in awkward silence.

"I think we need to help Taehyung with his plan", Yoongi put forward a thought, hence breaking the surrounding tranquility.

"He made it very clear that we leave him alone this time. You know what happened the last time we went against what he wishes right?", I said that not agreeing with Yoongi.

I clearly remembered what happened the last time, even though that was a few thousand years back. Since then, he refused to trust me with anything, and everything.

Yoongi sighed, "Souls aren't any type of entities or creatures to be studied. They represent a type of energy and energy can never be controlled by us. Souls, as a topic weren't even extensively studied in the past. Taehyung is now trying to learn and perform powers on souls, including hypnotization which is basically mind control. Only Sana ever mastered mind powers. We need to help him with it or at least know what he is up to so we can do it secretly", he said in an annoyed tone and then rolled back his eyes. He was clearly done with Taehyung's shit.

Taehyung's plan was to study souls. Studying involved, absorbing the energy of souls and then controlling that energy. He even had a backup plan if he couldn't succeed in studying souls, that was, to hypnotize them and make them do whatever he liked. He came up with this plan years back but didn't execute it immediately as both studying and hypnotizing were considered impossible.

If he succeeds in that plan, he can have access to many souls and their energies, hence making him enormously more powerful.

Just like everyone else, even Yoongi knew the probability of him succeeding was very low. He simply wanted to help his friend, but the stone-hearted Taehyung wouldn't receive his gesture positively.

I'm done supporting Taehyung... this time, I'm going with Yoongi.

"I can get someone to look after him and inform us everything he does; follow everywhere he goes without him knowing. If we can at least know which soul he is studying, we can carry our own experiments on it too. It would ease up his work." I said it confidently.

Then I called Mark, one of my most trusted supra-officials, and informed him what to do.

"Mark, you will give all the information about his work, to me, only." I ordered him.

"Yes, king father!" He said as he bowed 90 degrees and then left, followed by myself and Yoongi.

Y/n POV:

I was standing right in front of my room, lost in my thoughts on how to face my roommate. If I had a chance, I would run to Tzuyu's room.

I took a deep breath.
