Chapter 304
Even so Gilgamesh could see that the butler had his mind racing as he tried to come up with some hypothesis or solution as to what was going on.
"I see" said Gilgamesh sighing, "No use thinking about it now, let's focus on now"
"I see" said Sebas agreeing.
Sighing Gilgamesh turned to Sebas as he stood beside the butler.
"Then let's settle this matter with Zekram soon" said Gilgamesh smiling.
Activating his Final Ability [Covenant King Uriel] Gilgamesh used [Space Domination] as he and Sebas disappeared in a flash of light.
Bael Clan Castle, Underworld.
The Bael Clan is one of the remaining 32 Devil clans of the 72 Pillars. It is the highest ranked clan among the 72 Pillars and holds the rank of Great King.
As the highest ranked clan of the 72 Pillars, the Bael Clan is well known and famous for their ability to [Power of Destruction]. They are also extremely proud, despising other demons and prefer to follow the old tradition where demonic power determines everything, going so far as to discriminate against their own family members who do not possess any demonic powers.
The Bael clan was founded by Zekram Bael, its progenitor, who is one of the original Demons created by the mother of Demons; Lilith. It was one of the 72 Pillar clans that participated in the Great War. At some point after the Great War, Lord Bael became the head of the clan. The Bael clan brought the other 72 Pillars together in a rebellion against the Satan clans, as the Bael founded the Anti-Satan Faction that participated in the Devil's Civil War against the Satan clans and their Satan Faction, when the Anti-Satan faction was victorious. After the Devil's Civil War, the Bael clan founded the Great King Faction for their influence, as the faction became politically on par with the new Four Great Satans and their supporters.
And in the main castle of the most powerful clan in the Underworld it was possible to see in a luxurious Great Hall a person sitting at a desk while analyzing his papers.
He was a middle-aged man with black hair and peaceful violet eyes and wears noble robes.
He was Zekram Bael the first Head of the House of Bael and is said to have a greater influence than the current Four Great Satan. He was the de facto leader of the Demons after the death of the original Four Great Satan.
Zekram sighed as he leaned back in his chair, it had been a few days since the battle of Gilgamesh and Sirzechs and Zekram didn't end up getting what he wanted.
Zekram's goal with that battle was simple, that Sirzechs kill Gilgamesh so that the human hero would not become a nuisance in the future.
Or that Gilgamesh should kill Sirzechs Lucifer so that he would be recognized as an official enemy of the Underworld.
And with Sirzechs death, Zekram would finally get what he had wanted most since the death of the Original Four Great Satans.
The Chair of Lucifer.
The symbol of true authority and power.
And a reminder that he was no longer a mere servant.
Yet nothing was going according to his plans.
"You look tired"
The former Great King's eyes widened as he realized he was no longer alone.
"Who's there?" shouted Zekram standing up as his power manifested.
Thanks to being a Demon Zekram had no problem seeing in the dark, so he could clearly see who was in his office.
Out of the darkness Zekram could see golden hair as if made of gold and two crimson eyes like rubies.
And Zekram realized that the one in front of him was someone he really would not like to meet.
"What are you doing here King of Heroes?" questioned Zekram firmly.
Stepping out of the shadows was Gilgamesh walking calmly while his crimson eyes glowed with his power.
All Gilgamesh did was give a sarcastic smile.
"Oh, you really think that after challenging me I would let you act freely Zekram Bael?" asked Gilgamesh laughing.
Zekram's eyes narrowed at the speech of the man in front of him.
"Guards!" shouted Zekram trying to call his elite guards, with Maou class strength.
But all he got was silence.
"What...?" stammered Zekram without understanding the lack of response.
"If you are referring to your guards, then they are taking a nap right now" Gilgamesh said nonchalantly as he approached Great King Bael.
"Do you really think you can invade my palace and threaten me, you human worm" Zekram cursed as his violet eyes glowed, "The whole Underworld will become your enemy"
Gilgamesh's laughter arose faintly as it filled the room.
"I don't mind having the Underworld or even all the beings of the world as my enemies. The worst thing that can happen is that blood will flow like rivers and corpses will turn into mountains" Gilgamesh said casually.
Zekram's eyes narrowed as he prepared to speak.
But before he could say anything, Zekram lost his balance as he fell to the ground.
Looking down, Zekram saw that the reason he had fallen was because his left foot had been completely crushed and his bones broken.
Suppressing his cry of pain Zekram looked back and saw the person responsible for the blow that had knocked him down.
An old man wearing a butler's outfit, his black eyes glowed red.
Gilgamesh's faithful butler, the hybrid of human and dragon Sebas was standing calmly behind Zekram.
"M-m-mad" grunted Zekram in pain.
Sebas' eyes narrowed as his right foot was placed on the demon's head.
And with a thrust, Sebas pushed Zekram's head against the ground while forcing him to stand with his head against the ground.
"Watch your mouth, you bat. You are in the presence of Lord Gilgamesh, put your head down" said Sebas as he increased his strength and made the ground crack as he forced Zekram's head against the ground.
The Demon knew that if he was not a being of the demon race his skull would have already been crushed by the force the dragonoid was using.
Gilgamesh looked at Sebas as he gave a gentle nod causing the butler to step back.
Feeling the pressure on his head disappear, Zekram lifted it as he turned his gaze to Gilgamesh.
"You know Zekram, I have always been a very peaceful person, even with demons like you challenging me, even with beings from various Pantheons coming to me to try to subdue me, but you know, I got tired of it" Gilgamesh said with a sigh as he sat down in Zekram's chair.
"All I wanted was to be able to live in peace with my friends, to be able to have fun with them, to be able to live with peace and quiet in this world. But whether it's the Greek Gods, Hades, Indra or even you, you've all stepped in what you shouldn't without an ounce of hesitation" Gilgamesh said coldly.
"And I'm tired of it all, if you all really want to see what I'm capable of I'll show you. Even if I have to exterminate entire Factions and Pantheons to make it clear. My patience has reached its limit, Zekram, and if for peace for me and my friends I have to wipe out this whole world and recreate it from scratch, then so be it," Gilgamesh said as his body unconsciously released its power.1
Seeing the determination in the words of the being in front of him, Zekram turned to him as he narrowed his eyes.
"And why do you tell me this? Do you think I will help you?" questioned Zekram sarcastically.
However the smile on Gilgamesh's face made the demon exert himself.
"Yes" said Gilgamesh calmly and with a smile.
Looking into Gilgamesh's eyes, the oldest Demon in the Underworld froze.
Replacing Gilgamesh's crimson eyes were bright red eyes with different black patterns.
