Currently from the Cardinal world, there was new topic of concern that was currently beaming across the world.
A topic of concern that was so immense that it currently warrented a Walpurgis.
The proposer of this meeting was Guy Crimson and the two supporters were Dino and Ramiris.
The topic that needs to be addressed is Simon or Pneuma. The military might and advanced industrial power that he wields could be a topic of concern or threatening to other nations.
Guy and Dino were smart and could tell that Simon isn't the type who was so bored he would seek world domination, in fact from what Ramiris said, he was a slave to his own curiosity and had too much stuff to do before becoming so bored that he would seek to conquer the world.
But the three thought it would be fair if the rest of them weighed in on their opinion and maybe this would help open up trade between Eden and other nations and that would give them access to the technology he's creating.
Guy had created a space that he can control that would be used for a meeting room. As he was creating the space, he had a troublesome thought, 'Huh, it would be troublesome if someone seriously provoked him. He doesn't seem like the irrational type though so this should go well."
…
It did not go well.
————————————————
The room filtered in guest and Misery introduced them one by one.
Guy had begun saying his words in this meeting, " This banquet is being held to talk about… an interest I've picked up lately."
Leon chimed in a clearly unsatisfactory tone, " The only interest you've gotten lately was trying to figure out this Pneuma. Have you inciated this Walpurgis just to drag us into your unhealthy obsession?"
" Oh calm down there dear Leon. I've come to announce that my investigation is over."
Leon was now intrigued, " You mean that you figured them out."
Before Guy could boast, Dino chimed in to shut him down, " He didn't figure it out. Pneuma revealed himself to us and completely ruined Guys mood and cried for a week?"
" I did not cry for a week. Although I will admit that I wasn't happy that it ended in such an anticlimactic way."
And then a voice chimed in, " There was a bit of tears though."
Guy looked behind him to Raine with a look of betrayal who was looking away from him.
Dagruel chimed in, " That's great and all Guy but please get on with the important part, or did you truly call this Walpurgis just to share with us your new interest?" Dagruel's voice was calm but still contained a very perceptible hint of annoyance.
"I called this Walpurgis to discuss the danger that he might propose to the order of the world."
The rest of the room went quiet, " Well would you mind getting on with it?" Dagruel was annoyed, he respected Guy but if this was really just to announce an arrival from someone, he was about to lose it.
But now they had seen something that no one in the entire world would never expect. The people at this table had loved for a while and had witnessed a lot in their lifetimes but now they saw something that made their blood run cold.
Guy Crimson was hesitating to explain himself, he had looked towards Ramiris for what seemed like moral support and was struggling to express what he wanted and it was all because of this Pneuma.
Guy Crimson, Primordial demon, strongest demon lord and the lord of darkness…
…Is afraid of Pneuma.
The only ones who weren't surprised by this were Dino and Ramiris, telling them that the magnitude of this that could make Guy feel scared.
Guy finally got his bearings, " Pneuma has four legions under him, each one numbering in the millions, the four legions are angels, demons, elementals and dragons. He has technological scaling that is centuries ahead of our time… and he has eight lords under him that are either close to or reached the power threshold of an awakened demon lord… each."
…
…
No one in the room knew how to respond to this. They finally realized the gravity of the situation and the reason for Guy's fear.
He wasn't afraid for himself but of failing his job as the mediator who has kept the order of the world.
The balance of power in the world would be permanently altered and destroyed if Pneuma decided it.
" I'd like to weigh in here." Ramiris raised her voice, "Me, Dino and Guy don't actually believe that Pneuma is any sort of threat."
Dino followed after, " We called this meeting because we thought it should be fair that you guys get a say in this aswell."
"Should we treat him as a threat and prepare for war or treat him as an allie and establish communicati- wait a second, do we have a way to establish communications with him?" Dino's lethargic demeanor took its own break when they realized a grievous error that was made.
"We should have found a way to reach him before we left." Guy was now at a loss.
"Well where is his domain, he couldn't have created such an army without causing some sort of a disturbance." Frey asked Guy.
"You are correct Demon lord Frey and the reason he hasn't been found is because he hasn't been operating in the Cardinal world, he has been operating in a realm called Eden."
Carrion: " Huh. I've never heard of such a realm."
" Of course you haven't, it's because Eden is a world that he created himself. He made it to hide from anyone in the Cardinal world."
…
…
And now came another moment of silence. It seemed as if they had reached an irritating impasse, they didn't know whether to treat Eden as an enemy because they needed to ascertain their goal and to do that they needed to evaluate it's leader in person and to do that they needed to contact it's leader.
And they couldn't do anything of that. It seemed that all they could do was wait for Pneuma to take action himself.
" Actually, I have a way to contact him." Everyone turned to the cutesy voice. Ramiris had her chest puffed out in a way that said praise me.
Guy: " I forgot. Ramiris was actually given entry and a tour into Eden. She was the one who gained all this information in the first place. Is there something that you got that could help us?"
"When I left, he gave me a temporary ticket into Eden… and this." Ramiris pulled out what seemed to be a spherically-edged cube that had symbols on each side, "This is a chronocognitive transmitter. It allows for communications across different spacetimes."
Without warning, Ramiris tapped the phone symbol and a ringing sound came from the cube.
The ringing constantly went off as everyone waited in anticipation until finally, "Ramiris?" A voice came from the cube.
"What made you take so long to answer?! I've been standing around here calling for twelve minutes!"
"Oh nothing, I just didn't really want to answer."
" Than why did you give this thing in the first place if your not gonna answer it?!"
"Jeez calm down, what do you want?" The tone on the other side became less annoyed and lethargic and became more gentle.
"I want you to present yourself."
"Where and to who?"
"At Walpurg-"
"Not happening. I don't feel like being in a room full of demon lords. Frankly I don't want to suddenly start being attacked by the impulsive ones like Carrion or Milim."
Ramiris went pale, because everything he said was broadcast to the whole room, "Um, you know that you're on speaker right?"
"Yes, I am very aware of that. The moment you made the call, I was aware of your spatiotemporal coordinates and am watching the meeting at the moment. Nothing I said was meant to be cruel but it was meant to be honest."
" I promise that if you do this, you will gain a favour from the great fairy of the labyrinth."
" Hmmm, there's not much that you can really offer me… but I'll be there soon."
Suddenly the connection was cut, the space that was under Guy's control, suddenly began to unfold unwillingly the table and space got bigger.
They began to make space to accommodate a new chair and a new gate, and their they formed.
From the gate came a man that made his way to the seat, aside of his looks the man seemed utterly remarkable. The ones that followed him though were the opposite.
His two attendants were a wolf and a man, although the man had the aura of a human, a dragon and an angel all in one. The both of them had energy outputs equivalent to a true demon lord.
The man sat down and made himself comfortable, " Well then, let's get this Walpurgis underway."
