While the gods were busy selecting their divine champion for the third round, Solomon and Legion were making their own moves from within the brimstone depths of Tartarus.
"So, boss, any ideas?" Questioned Legion as they followed their liege, who was thoughtfully considering his next choice. Solomon knew perfectly well that the gods' pride was greatly damaged, and therefore whoever they sent next would be among their most deadly.
"Let's see..." The Demon Overlord opened the door to the meeting room where the Akashic records were kept. He waved his hand and several great scrolls with various details regarding the Apostles appeared out of almost nowhere.
"You see Legion," Solomon spoke to the demon standing behind him. "Gods can be compared to little spoiled children, they consider themselves superior and more powerful than everything else." Solomon began to look around the various screens looking for something— or rather, someone. During this he spoke continuously to Legion. "They have never tasted true struggle in their eternal lives, but they think they deserve everything, just because they were born gods. Tell me Legion, what do we call people, or in this case, beings that behave this way?"
Legion, baffled by this question, started blinking their eyes, veins appeared on their forehead and steam seemed to come out of it, indicating that the demon had started a thought process. They looked at Solomon as they spoke. "Arrogant whores, boss?"
Solomon narrowed his eyes at his subordinate's response, a smirk appearing on his face.
"You're not wrong, gods can be considered arrogant beings who are so blinded with their own image that they cannot see their own slow decline, even if some may, they try to mask it by aggrandizing themselves. They shout about how humanity is sinful- well, they are not wrong, yet they are those who not only bathe in every possible sin ever existed, they are the origin of it. And the greatest sin of them all, is arrogance."
Solomon waved his hand at a scroll which unfurled to its full length. Looking at his overlord, Legion could only ask one thing.
"And what was this whole speech for, boss?"
"Don't worry, I'm not expecting you to understand the full extent of my plans, I just need you to know how pitiful those beings are and how empty and utterly useless their existence really is... Nonetheless, you probably do realize that humanity cannot compare to even an atom of what the gods have done throughout their entire existence." Solomon started, slowly moving his fingers to enhance the image even further.
The screen behind the two began to form an image of a certain woman, seated upon a great throne and flanked by two serpents.
"For this reason, our best choice will be her. A woman who, thanks to her strength and wisdom, became the most powerful person in her entire country and was ready to do anything to keep it that way. The only woman who is as arrogant as the gods, the woman who will show them how pathetic they really are."
Legion's jaw dropped at the sight of the human fighter.
"Fuck, we're unleashing HER on them?" He gasped as he saw a photo of a woman, so beautiful that she was able to take over the possession of the ruler of Rome.
Solomon reached forwards towards the image, aiming to press it with his finger. Upon contact, the image rippled before the king and demon before a voice echoed out into the room.
"Do you have a second sense as to when is the worst time to call upon a queen?" The sultry voice asked.
"I do not care for what activities you are currently partaking in. I have decided that you shall be the next representative for humanity." Solomon calmly retorted.
