The meeting was tense. The demon lords don't gather too often, and when they do, it's normally on the whims of Milim, so Guy has to think of excuses, aka information, every time. However, now, it's the dreaded time. The dreaded Tenma War. Guy had no need for an excuse this time. The demon lords have all been emergency summoned to Guy's dimension to discuss the upcoming conflict.

Luminous: "The angels are coming you say?!"

Guy: "That's right. I can't give a good estimate of its strength but they are most probably as strong as us."

Ramiris: "As strong as you?"

Guy: "Probably not, but you never know."

Dagruel: "Do you know why they're attacking?"

Luminous: "I am unfamiliar with the flying insects. I've only heard about them from Twilight."

Dagruel furrows his brows when Luminous mentioned Twilight.

Dino: "Well~ it should be fine if we just let them attack the humans and leave them be."

Ramiris: "Hmph. You always suggest the most outlandish things, especially for an observer of Veldanava."

Dino: "Ramiris!!!"

Ramiris: "Am I wrong?"

Dino: "Hrmmmmmeeh..."

Guy: "That reminds me. I'd like to speak to you when this is over, Dino."

Dino: "Hrmm... whatever..."

Dino slouches back on his seat and mumbles about how annoying everything is.

Milim: "Hey, where's Rain-nee?"

Guy: "She's doing some reconnaissance with Misery."

Ramiris: "Speaking of Rain, she seemed very distant nowadays. She only nods at me when I greet her, and didn't bother visiting Milim for some time. Did something happen?"

Guy: "We can discuss that later."

Ramiris: "One other thing, you seem to know a bit about this Tenma War. How come you didn't tell us beforehand?"

Guy: "Ah well the cause of the Tenma War is the human hero I talked about who tried to fight me."

Ramiris: "Oh! That Rudra? I remember him back in the day! Thanks for telling me that, but you haven't answered the question."

The members of the council all peer at Guy, waiting for a response. Guy on the other hand, smirks and points at Rimuru, who is sitting silently.

Ramiris: "The newbie? You're saying he told you? By the way, what kind of relationship do you have with-"

Guy: "Rimuru. The others seem very keen about our current circumstances, so will you be so kind as to share with everyone what you told me."

Rimuru sighs and leans forward. His gaze pierces Guy, who continues to smirk and listen intently.

Rimuru: "The hero Rudra possesses a skill called Michael which can activate a sub skill: Armageddon, which summons a large number of angels which obey the user."
