Chapter 1854 No.471: I feel like I got on the wrong bus

Digital World, Dark Area, Demon King's Temple - Tower of Babel.

The spectacular building that towers into the sky and seems to connect the dark earth and sky was originally called the Tower of Babel. But apparently, for the local Digimon who are not optimistic about the popularization of quality education, a simple and direct name like the Tower of Sin is easier to remember and spread.

And using the name of the source of power of the Seven Demon Lords can better demonstrate the authority of Lucemon.Fallen Form as the widely recognized "strongest existence among the Seven Demon Lords", but everyone also knows:
That's its cell.

Everyone didn't know that the cell had already deteriorated, and the sacred chains that were used to seal it had long been consumed by darkness. Now the chains could only serve a decorative purpose, but the decorative effect was enough to conceal the truth. After all... most of the Digimon and humans who came to the Tower of Babel to meet the Lord of Pride did not have the time to take a close look at the chains.

It’s not so easy to even look up.

The extremely heavy feeling of oppression from top to bottom always makes people feel fearful that raising a hand would be an act of usurpation, and staring at someone would be an extreme offense.

You can survive this fear with courage and tenacity, but that doesn't mean you will be allowed to do so, right? How many beasts can be treated equally by the arrogant king? When you thought it was locked there and it would be difficult to punish it, you probably forgot that the fallen angel Digimon in the entire dark area were counted under the command of Lucemon.Fallen, and you didn't notice that countless eyes were staring at you on every floor of the Tower of Babel.

The result of looking up without permission is likely to be a sword attack.

Those who have the opportunity to meet the King must have some cleverness, and then that cleverness backfired. Lucemon's fallen form has always been sealed - this statement has always remained common sense in the eyes of the public.

He didn't know that he had already escaped, or that the overly humble way of audience was already outdated, or that the current Lucemon. Fallen form could even hold meetings with humans.

"Be quiet for now, Lilithmon. The mistakes of acting rashly can be put off until later."

"But sir, she has seriously…"

At the meeting, Lilithmon noticed the change in Lucemon Fallen's eyes and wisely shut up.

"Sorry, I overstepped my authority."

"Not bad. I thought the new young people were going to take over again," Barbamon said calmly, "How about Belphemon's successor also speak up? This is your first time attending the Demon King Conference."

"But..." Although he was in sleeping form with his eyes closed, the newly activated Belphemon was paying close attention to the reaction of Lucemon.Fallen.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual, I continued to ask:
"Why are there humans in the Demon King Council?"

These words were naturally directed at the woman who was sitting in the same meeting place.

Even if the other party appeared through data erosion projection and was not actually sitting in the seat of a demon king, it was still beyond Belphemon's expectations.

After all, He had just evolved into Belphemon (sleeping form) for two minutes.

As soon as the Crown of Sin of Sloth was crowned, the Demon King's Conference was activated again. Although the data carried by the Crown of Sin itself allowed it to know the mechanism and function of the Demon King's Conference, it also made it realize that there had been a meeting a few days before its coronation, but that meeting was to let these demon kings take action to ensure the smooth progress of the ceremony, so that it could successfully overcome many levels.

but……

Why is there a human woman here?

Although the woman's appearance was very strange, with several black cracks filled with several eyeballs drawing several lines on her face, making her face look very crowded, Belphemon had been doing well before his promotion, and had had many contacts with the human forces built in the dark area. He had heard of some strange people and strange things in the human world.

That weird and hideous appearance might be a peculiar fashion of human beings... When he thought so, he didn't care about it. He was only surprised at the way and reason of its existence.

"Because the Demon King Conference is not a meeting that only Demon Kings can attend."

"Isn't it?"

Once again, the giant crocodile, Leviamon, who was shrunk in proportion in this cramped space, raised his mouth in surprise: "What is the Demon King Conference?"

"It's a meeting concerning the fate of the Demon King." The Demon Beast at the Seat of Angry was not interested. After all, he was not the type who liked to attend meetings.

"Just think about the timing of each meeting. Either a demon king dies or a demon king ascends the throne. However, originally only the demon king can reach this space. You can't say that the newcomer is wrong, Lucemon." "..." These words instantly made Belphemon (sleeping form) who looked like a baby sweat a little. He felt that the demon king with the crown of arrogance would not tolerate such doubts.

However, it was the only one that thought so.

Because it was the first time for it to attend the meeting, and also the first time for it to meet the tyrannical being that only existed in legends.

The result was unexpectedly good.

"That's true. In that case, let's forget about this and get back to the topic." The two looked at each other, but the collision of arrogance and rage did not even produce a spark. Their calmness made Belphemon doubt his life.

Are all the legends we have heard from ancient times to the present false?

Are they not affected by the Crown of Sin?

That's not right. I've been feeling sleepy since I received that power...

You can imagine how devastated you would be after finally waiting for the opportunity and trying your best to squeeze into the circle of that big boss, only to find out that some key settings don’t match?
Fortunately.

Fortunately, Lilithmon has been exuding her charm in a subtle way.

Fortunately, Beelzebumon kept smacking his lips impatiently.

Fortunately, Barbamon was distracted as if he was thinking about something.

Fortunately! These three still fit the rumors, legends, and stereotypes, and they also preserve Belphemon's worldview.

To be honest, at this point, after all the unexpected things that happened right at the beginning, it has become somewhat sober.

He clearly realized that as a newcomer attending the meeting for the first time, he would inevitably face many unknowns. He might even encounter the unknown side of these big shots in his former eyes, or even huge secrets that belong only to the demon class. At this time, silence is indeed the best thing.

Lucemon (Fallen): "She appeared with the help of some human world technology, so everyone should be happy about it."

Devilmon: "Happy?"

Barbamon: "Yes, I am happy. Human technology is already able to analyze the data of this space, which means that they are already able to touch the power of the Crown of Sin."

"This power will be turned into an aid for us, Devilmon," the king of pride was still polite in the eyes of Belphemon, "human technology, Beelzebumon who has returned, Belphemon who can still inherit that data, I think this will be our most powerful class yet."

"Even if Lilithmon and Belphemon are new here?" Beelzebumon poured cold water on them.

However, the two demon kings who were splashed didn't say a word and were very self-aware.

Of course, Belphemon, who also had a somewhat lazy nature, was thinking at high speed, wondering what this was going to do while listening.

He felt that the direction was not right. It seemed that this group of people were going to do something... Before he could figure it out, the voice on the other side continued:

"Of course, our advantages are enough to cover up our disadvantages, not to mention that we still have time to make up for those disadvantages."

"what?"

This seems to have suddenly mentioned myself...

Belphemon subconsciously shifted his position: "W-what?"

"Train, Belphemon. You need to become familiar with combat and be prepared to face human warriors."

"???"
