Obey Me! One MISTRESS to rule them all!

The Trump Card

Teli POV:

"Go ahead, Teli." Mammon said from behind me with a smug smile.

"Wow! It sounds to me like that gauntlet has just been thrown down! It would seem Teli has some sort of trump card to use against Leviathan!" Asmo announced as he went around me to look at the audience.

You got that right, Asmo!

"Perhaps now would be a good time to check in with our color commentator. Satan, what do you think this could be about?" Asmo asked the blonde brother.

"Well, it's not at all surprising that Teli would come into this with a secret weapon. It seems that the advice I gave is about to pay some dividends. Excellent." Satan thought out loud with a smirk as I gave him a quick thumb up and a wink.

"Just a minute... Satan, are you telling us that you provided aid to Teli? How very wicked of you!" Asmo said but he didn't seem to angry with that.

"I suppose this would be a good time to get your take on this as well, Beel." Asmo sighed as he turned to look at the ginger brother.

"If you want to hear what I have to say, its' going to cost you. Let's say one extra-large bowl of katsudon and some miso soup to go along with that." I laughed at Beel's comment and it got a bit harder when Asmo spoke up next:

"OK, whose idea was it to invite Beel to this, huh?! He's done nothing but eat this entire time!"

"I could've told you that." I pointed out the obvious as he sighed again.

"... In any event, if Teli really does have a secret weapon, it could mean something that will make winning against Leviathan possible! Perhaps we should hear what Teli's opponent thinks about this. Tell be Levi, what's running through your head right now?!" Asmo asked the purple haird brother.

"ROFLAMO! Looooooooooooooooooooooool!" He answered, making everyone give him a face as I just stared at him with the same amused smile.

"Right... I have absolutely no idea what you're saying! But clearly you don't see this as a threat... Got it! So, what could this trump card of Teli be?! Let's find out...!"

"Thank you, Asmodeus." I nodded as he cleared the stage and I turned to look at Levi.

"Remember when you first introduced me to TSL? I mean, when you first SPOILED EVERYTHING to me?" I emphasized my point, "Well, it may go against all what I believe in, but I'm here to return the favor big time."

And with that, I proceed to summarize the major plot developments in the as-of-yet unreleased TSL Volume 9.

And of course, Levi went nuts.

"Wh...what...? ...NO! That's insane... The Lord of Masks wouldn't do that to the Lord of Shadow." He protested.

"Oh, but he has..." I replied evily as I glanced at Satan for a second, who smiled back.

"Lies, all of it! Pure hogwash! Don't think you can fool me by making up random stuff like that!" Levi yelled at me as I just kept my smile on.

"Hmm. Actually, Teli doesn't appear to be lying as far as I can see." Diavolo said as he looked me up and down.

"Levi, you know as well as I do that Lord Diavolo has the ability to discern whether someone is telling the truth." Satan informed.

"How convenient!" I pointed out with a nod of approval.

"B-But...no...! Everyone online has been talking about how the Lord of Masks and the Lord of Shadow are totally going to make up... What you said CAN'T happen! It... it just CAN'T!" He said, looking broken... REALLY broken!
