I! Cleaner!-Chapter 1109 - 1023: Predicament

"..."

Upon hearing the inquiry from the Lust Demon God, the expressions of several Original Sin Demon Gods immediately darkened even further.

The "Church leader" mentioned by those purple-skinned angels isn't ordinary sly; he always lurks around Heaven's aperture, refusing to delve truly into the abyss, and retreats immediately back to Heavenly Mountain the moment we approach.

And if we pursue him, we'd get surrounded by the nine crazed angels, unable to spare time to deal with him, and might even get forcibly replaced by those crazy nine angels.

In circumstances where we can't act directly, we are left with no choice but to assemble demon gods and great devils from Abyss Hundred Prisons and forcefully storm Heavenly Mountain for a "beheading operation", eliminating that damned so-called Church leader.

But even if the nine crazed angels do not react to ordinary demon gods and refrain from coming out to slaughter, those ordinary purple-skinned angels turned out surprisingly difficult to kill.

They not only possess qualities stronger than normal angels, an unusual resistance to demon's power, but also fearlessly sacrifice themselves to create opportunities for their companions. One-on-one, even equal-level demons are no match, let alone in group combat where they're overwhelmingly beaten.

In the recent ugly one against many encounters, those angels were merely of average level, akin to level-two Cleaners in human terms, theoretically unable to oppose a Great Demon God.

However, the Gui Er Angels, who lord over sweet dreams, and the Waye Angels, who lord over smiles, chose to sacrifice themselves without hesitation. As a result, at the mere cost of two being seriously injured, they easily toppled the great devils far stronger than them.

"Looking at it this way, our previous plan might not work,"

After a brief contemplation, the Greed Demon God shook his face of golden-red hue, and the grease-coated cheeks flinched twice, followed by each splitting open like mouths, speaking with a somewhat low tone:

"Among the angels converted by that purple-skinned Church leader, there are thousands upon thousands of ordinary angels at this strength, yet there are fewer than two hundred Great Devils in our abyss; the numbers are entirely disproportionate.

If seven or eight ordinary angels can replace a Great Devil, the great devils we've recruited will inevitably be entangled by ordinary angels upon entering Heavenly Mountain, then slaughtered wholesale."

"Don't we still have the demon gods!"

Just as the words of the Greed Demon God dropped, the rough voice of the Furious Demon God rose from above.

"In the Abyss Hundred Prisons, we have nearly a hundred demon gods equivalent to True God; those purple-skinned angels have only forty-odd who are True God, so in terms of high-end strength, we're still winning!"

"Not winning, you know~"

After the Furious Demon God finished speaking, the Lust Demon God continued with a smile:

"Among those purple-skinned angels, there are over a hundred angelic beings at the same level as Great Devils, and there's little difference between angelic spirits and demon gods; fundamentally, three angelic spirits can hold off one demon god, making it seventy-something against a hundred.

Moreover, we're all demons; we know too well the antics of demons. Those lesser demon gods might not stab each other in the back, but certainly won't cooperate. Having numerical superiority may not translate to victory.

Furthermore, Heavenly Mountain is inherently the home ground of those angels, our demons dispatched will suffer considerable weakening, and we have to guard against attacks from non-transformed crazy angels, calculating it this way, it still results in a loss~"

"..."

Indeed... under circumstances where we can't act directly, no matter how you look at it, we're bound to lose...

Following Lust Demon God's words, after contrasting the power on both sides, several Original Sin Demon Gods sank into silence once again.

Heaven and Abyss possess roughly equal strength; the demons merely hold a slight upper hand, around a six to seven ratio, while that purple-skinned angel doesn't fully occupy Heaven, holds just over 40%, and can't control the nine angels, so in terms of strength, they should be far inferior to Abyss.

Yet, the nine angels "fixate" on us and those purple-skinned angels are astonishingly tricky, their war potential is vastly huge, using merely over 40% of angels to draw even or even suppress us. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Though mobilizing the entire Abyss Hundred Prisons should suffice to annihilate those purple-skinned angels, it wouldn't finish within a month, and if those angels remain unresolved within a month, allowing Omnia Cicada to discover the means to forcibly transform and enslave demons...

"Let's just go direct!"

After pondering till the brain almost smoked, failing to find a breakthrough, the inherently impatient Furious Demon God suddenly couldn't resist but speak out:

"We can lead recruited demon gods and great devils together onto Heavenly Mountain! Anyway, the nine angels are all crazy, lacking brainpower, we can fight and simultaneously direct them towards those purple-skinned angels.

As long as we can pull the battlefield over to those purple-skinned angels, we can inflict maximum damage on them. The remaining recruited demon gods could be enough to slaughter those purple-skinned angels!"

"Great idea!"

Among the first to express agreement upon hearing this was the Lust Demon God, then quickly blinked and pursued:

"The crucial point is after that, you know? The nine angels won't bother with regular demon gods, only focus on us for killing~

If it's seven versus nine then that's still manageable; with mutual support, we should be able to retreat safely, but now Gluttony isn't playing with us anymore, obsessed with becoming the mount of that Cleaner's Food God, and Sloth was forcibly awakened, might go back to sleep during the fight.

Calculating this way, it's not even seven versus nine, probably difficult to even muster five against nine, facing almost two angels each, how many of us do you think will be left?"

"..."

"Asmodei is right; your plan isn't feasible,"

Once the Furious Demon God was silenced, the Proud Demon God at the head spoke:

"Though the nine angels are crazy, their strength exceeded what it was before madness. Our reckless move would only result in being stranded atop Heavenly Mountain, commemorating with the corpses of Original Sin Great Demon Gods."

"Then what's your proposal!"

Seeing his plan rejected again, the Furious Demon God, restless by nature, couldn't help but shout with anger:

"Sending those useless ones won't work, doing it ourselves won't work either! We were clearly dominating Heavenly Mountain before, now those angels are insane, yet we're even more unable to combat them!"

"Because they've gone mad rather than turned to wreck, their minds are affected not their power... Though for you, who rarely has a mind, perhaps there's not much difference~"

After delivering a sneering retort to the Furious Demon God, the Lust Demon God wagged his heart-shaped tail, catching the cue to continue with a smile before Furious Demon God erupted:

"Since brute force won't work, then I have a not really a method solution~"

"What method?"

"Find a Great Devil who hasn't become a True God yet but possesses unparalleled talent, gather our combined strengths, and temporarily create an Original Sin Great Demon God!"
