Zestiel stopped talking. His power was completely suppressed, and the circulation of his magic became sluggish as a result.
Carmilla spread her hands, her ten fingers splayed open, like flowers blooming from scythes.
"This is not a good idea." Vox, the Demon with a television head, had electric arcs flashing from the antenna on his head.
Despite his somewhat comical appearance, he was actually a very clever Demon.
"There's a Demon provoking us."
Although the three Demon Lords were talking, they were all very vigilant, wary of the owner of that immense magic around them.
Unexpectedly, that magic suddenly circulated, clinging to their bodies like Water, surrounding the three Sinner Demons.
Carmilla shivered, almost every hair standing on end, but she couldn't use her magic to resist. In terms of power attributes, she had a World of difference compared to her opponent.
Zestiel understood in his heart that the Master inside was displeased with his recent actions, and so deliberately dealt with them in the same manner.
Angel was powerless to resist before Demon Lords like them, and they were likewise powerless before the owner of this magic. Nothing could be more convincing than this method.
But fortunately, the owner of the magic had no intention of killing them, merely teleporting them into the Happy Hotel, bringing them before the Master. With them also came the disoriented Angel, who now looked more like his usual self.
Dane glanced at him. After all, Angel was helping him, and one should consider the Master before kicking his dog.
He opened his Demon God's Eye, his piercing gaze like the unapproachable light of a black sun: "I see the souls of three Sinners, extremely wicked, but resolute in will. You don't seem like those who would seek redemption. What brings you here?"
Everyone in the Pride Ring knew that the Happy Hotel was opened by Princess Charlie, and her purpose for opening it had already spread throughout Hell. It was said that even Demons from other Rings had heard about it.
Lucifer was still there, but he was invisible; he didn't want to put too much pressure on these "little guys."
"Since there's only you here, does that mean you've been condoning those guys outside?" It was Zestiel who spoke.
The three Sinner Lords had sent out countless scouts, and those scouts had helped them find some useful intelligence.
More than one Demon had seen Sinestro fly out of the Happy Hotel. Upon receiving this news, the three Demons immediately rushed here.
Rather than look for Sinestro, it was better to go directly to his superior.
They were all individuals of standing; if they were to fight, they would only fight the Boss behind the scenes, not the underlings doing the work, as that would affect their prestige.
Moreover, the three of them had already discussed it before coming: if the opponent wasn't strong, they would eliminate him directly.
If the opponent was too strong... then they would talk.
And the current situation clearly called for talking.
They were Lords here, which not only meant they were powerful but also that they operated many industries and supported many Demon minions.
Both native Demons and Sinner Demons needed to eat.
Native Demons were essentially magic creatures, so they naturally needed to exchange matter with the outside World.
Although Sinner Demons wouldn't starve to death, hunger was a very severe form of suffering that could drive Demons mad.
The hungry Demons Dane released from his Hell were just such a group of maddened Beasts.
This was also why this Hell could form a social structure similar to that of humans: firstly, because of the living habits Sinners brought from when they were alive.
Secondly, because Sinner Demons actually had basic survival needs. Poverty here might not be fatal, but it would make your life worse than death.
However, Dane's actions over the past few days not only brought a huge population burden to the Pride Ring, but also allowed these Sinner Demons to disrupt its order.
Those Sinner Lords had tried to stop them before.
But compared to the influx of the dead from OA, the Lords of the Pride Ring were far from enough, and they couldn't kill these Sinner Demons.
There weren't enough Heaven Weapons to cause significant losses to these Demons.
So-called "Heaven Weapons" were weapons and equipment left over from Heaven's "Great Purge" throughout the years, mostly cold weapons like knives, swords, or spears.
As mentioned before, Heaven in this Universe is quite terrible; cold weapons are not as efficient as hot weapons in killing Demons, but this is exactly what the Angels want—they enjoy the process of hunting monsters.
During this process, weapon wear and tear or loss are inevitable.
Heaven Weapons rely not on the material of the weapon itself, but on the holy power attached within it, so these weapons can also be damaged.
However, some weapons, though worn, do not affect their use, so after the "Great Purge," some Demons specifically collect these discarded weapons from Angels and sell them in the black market.
And those Demons with a need to kill Sinner Demons would buy them. Vicki has a spear, a complete Angel Weapon, in her hand.
This also answered one of Dane's questions: in this Hell, there is indeed a market for opening a murder company.
Demons can use Heaven Weapons to assassinate Sinner Demons and utterly kill them.
Moreover, Heaven Weapons also have a critical strike effect on native Demons, and this effect can even apply to noble Demons.
This makes Heaven Weapons extremely valuable, often priceless.
And this is also one of the reasons why Sinner Demons are relatively restrained now, otherwise, with the Sinner Demons' talent, Hell would probably fall into chaos every few years.
However, Heaven has also noticed this situation; recently, the number of Heaven Weapons lost by Angels has been significantly less than before, so in reality, Angel Weapons are currently in short supply.
Especially after the massive influx of Sinners from OA, these weapons became even more insufficient.
Members of murder companies and assassin clubs are busy around the clock every day, but the number of newly arrived Sinner Demons doesn't seem to decrease much.
If this continues, their Heaven Weapons will soon be depleted.
If they still haven't resolved this riot by then, it's very likely that other Sinner Demons will see through their weakness. Without the deterrence of Heaven Weapons, many ambitious Sinner Demons might cause trouble again.
