Meanwhile from what I heard later on not everyone was fascinated with the dragonballs. Even in Hell, other than our allies the Hazbins, there were a few who were more, uh what is called that word Oblina mentioned it.

In the meantime, in a large library, Zestial and Carmilla Carmine with some help from her daughters, Odette and Clara, were researching books to understand the mystery of the Dragonballs.

They delved into the ancient texts within the expansive library, their minds focused on unraveling the mysteries of the Dragonballs.

As they sifted through the tomes and scrolls, the haunting echo of Hades' voice resonated in their minds, a reminder of the immense secret held.

"They have a special magic that is very gratifying. Even enough to increase your powers and influence." Hades voice echoed in their head as they looked through various books.

The prospect of enhancing their already formidable powers and influence was tempting, but the words of caution lingered in the air, a reminder of the potential dangers that came with seeking such power.

Carmilla, her crimson eyes scanning the pages of a particularly ancient manuscript, sensed a shift in the atmosphere. She set one book down and moved to another shelf, her movements purposeful and deliberate.

Odette with Clara began to look over a book before putting it down and then going to a another bookself and grabbing another book from the shelf and opened it and began to look through the pages before getting to a page that caused her to stop.

She read the content and showed it to Clara, who read it eyes widening.

"Mother!" They called. "We found it! Look at this!"

Carmilla and Zestial approached, their eyes drawn to the words that lay before them, revealing the secret that had been shrouded in mystery for eons.

Upon reading the ancient text, Carmilla's expression grew solemn and thoughtful.

She silently read the pages, 'when all seven balls are brought together, they summon a Dragon who can grant wishes.'

It was a revelation that would send shockwaves through the realms of Hell and beyond.

Despite the allure of such power, Carmilla and Zestial shared a silent understanding. They knew that the Dragonballs, while holding the potential for great good, also carried the risk of chaos and destruction if misused.

Carmilla's brow furrowed as she read the passage describing the power of the dragonballs. Her fingers traced the words slowly, understanding the gravity of the information they had uncovered.

Zestial stood beside her, his expression pensive. "If these dragonballs forsooth hast the power to grant any would, then they pose a great adventure in the wrong hands. We might not but be marvelous cautious in how we proceed"

Odette and Clara exchanged a worried glance, sensing the weight of their discovery. "Mother, what will you do? Surely the other Overlords will want to seek out these dragonballs once they learn of their abilities."

Carmilla closed the book with a heavy sigh. "That is precisely why we must keep this knowledge to ourselves, for now. We cannot risk starting a frenzy among the Overlords that could lead to chaos and destruction."

She turned to Zestial, her eyes resolute. "We will need to monitor the situation closely. If these dragonballs fall into the wrong hands, we may have no choice but to intervene. But for now, we must remain vigilant and ensure this information does not spread."

Zestial nodded in agreement. "Agreed. We shalt keepeth a closeth gaze and beest did prepare to act if 't be true behoveful. The fate of hell may rest on our discretion in this matt'r."
