16- The Plan

~Continuation of chapter 12~

NM POV

"What's your plan Hoseok?"

"How about we let the devil free and watch him?"

The moment Hoseok said those words, I furiously stood up and gradually walked towards Hoseok, saying "what you are saying is unacceptable. Are you working with the Devil now?"

He quickly lowered his head and clenched his fist, stating "I don't dare." He paused for a mere second before he lifted his gaze to meet mine, proceeding "but we can't catch him now, so let's think of another option. We- with the help of other angels can create a powerful spell which will make the devil get imprisoned on Earth. If Earth disappears, he'll be tormented for eternity."

"What you are suggesting Hoseok isn't a normal spell," I warned.

"I know- that's why I'm asking for your help and all the 8 council heads, the Horsemen I mean, their powers are indescribable which will make things a bit easier," Hoseok said with pleading eyes.

I sat down in my chair in the big hall, giving myself some time to think. Is it the right choice? He gave me the full authority, but this is out of my league.

I rubbed my temples out of exhaustion, saying "leave me for now. I'll think about it. I'll call for a meeting when I decide on something." Consequently. Hoseok bowed then excused himself.

The main reason for the Devil to be imprisoned in Hell is to isolate him from the humans; officially making him unable to harm them by any way possible. However, now he is walking among them. He has the power to harm them, no he has the power to eliminate all those living on Earth without a second thought.

I sighed internally as my brain gears kept moving, trying to solve this hard problem. Should I really consider allowing him to live with them? Should I really trust that he won't harm them?

If he angered God himself a long time ago, what am I supposed to do? But how about I let him live among them, and at the same time indirectly take his powers to prevent him from harming them?

Wynedis.

I immediately called for a meeting. It didn't take more than 15 minutes for everyone to assemble at the big meeting room. A big rectangular white marble table was placed in the middle, and 10 huge chairs were placed around the table; 4 on its right, 4 on its left and one on each center.

The Horsemen of Genesis were always seated on the right side. The Horsemen of Apocalypse were always seated on the left side, and I was always seated on one of the centred chairs, however, the other one was always empty. It wouldn't have been vacant if the Devil didn't have to sin.

I still question why God insisted on leaving that chair there even though there is no way for the Devil to ever occupy it.

We should've ruled together, but he chose another road. One which is full of only darkness.

I eyed the Horsemen as they entered one after the other and took their seats. Certainly, there were other Angels present as well like Jimin and Hoseok, however, none of them had a seat as they had to stand the whole meeting around the table but close to the walls, and they weren't really allowed to interfere with the meeting.

I took my seat adjacent to Love's as I saw him crossing his legs, saying "what makes you summon us here Namjoon?"

"You know I don't have time for all these meetings you are making. This is the 3rd meeting this week already," Pestilence spoke in mere arrogance with his back leaning against the chair.
