As the final control device shattered, I freed Satan from the slime engulfing his body, lowering him down as I glided towards the ground and landed, setting him down as his eyelids fluttered and he began to regain consciousness, the light returning to his eyes.

Okay, now for what could be the most difficult part of this...convincing him that I’m not an enemy, so that he doesn’t attack and try to kill me.

One wrong move and it could get messy...well, I’m pretty close to impossible to kill now, thanks to my Contract with Plasmuk, I don’t even feel any pain when I turn my body to slime, and my body automatically turns to slime if I’m about to sustain a deep injury, so yeah...still, I’d rather not have to fight him for real, I may be a hell of a lot more difficult to kill than I used to be, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t be killed at all...

"Uh, hi...how’s it going?" I greeted him nervously, as he fully regained consciousness and looked around with a frown, before narrowing his eyes at me.

"You...did you just free me? Why?" He inquired suspiciously.

Okay, that’s good, he’s willing to talk...I was dreading that he might attack me immediately or something, that wouldn’t have been ideal.

"I’m on your side, I’m not an enemy...I’m friends with your daughter, Izzy-...I mean, Izzozon...-and I’m also friends with Lucifer and Azazel. Well, to be specific, Azazel and I formed a Contract, and maybe calling Lucifer a friend is a bit of stretch since we just met a few days ago and all, but we’re allies at the very least, so-...," I began in an amicable tone.

"What? My daughters, they’re...they’re alright, then?" He interrupted me, his eyes widening slightly.

"Yeah, that’s right, they’re both perfectly fine. Izzy and I have been friends for a few years now, actually, and she’s doing great. We freed Lucifer from her imprisonment pretty recently, but she seems to be doing fine too. I bet they’re going to be super thrilled to find out that you’re the Demon who was sealed away in this nation...oh, yeah, we’re taking over this nation, Izzy and Lucifer and here too, in different areas," I informed him.

"This...this is a lot to take in. But I do sense Azazel’s presence within you, so it must be-...hm? Strange, I sense another presence in you, a presence that’s somewhat familiar...," He frowned in response.

"Oh, that’s the Slime King, Plasmuk. Izzy, myself and another human defeated him, and before he died, I managed to convince him to form a Contract with me," I explained.

"Fascinating...are you really a human? I know that Azazel and Lucifer would never carelessly trust a human, and yet, you seem to earned their trust," He replied curiously.

"Well, actions speak louder than words...but, well, my group already being close friends with Izzy definitely helped a lot. Azazel actually attacked me when I first ran into him, until Izzy showed up and smoothed things over."

"I see...hm, but why would he agree to form a Contract with you?" He inquired uncertainly.

"Because he was already fatally wounded, he damaged his core when he forcibly broke free of the control devices restraining him. You know what, let me just give you a full recap on everything relevant that’s happened," I remarked, before explaining everything I knew that was relevant to him.

How the Demons had each been sealed in a different nation, and now with him, Lucifer and Azazel no longer sealed, there were only two more left to free.

I told him about how we met Izzy and became friends, though I did kinda exclude the part about how she’s dating my brother...Azazel and Lucifer didn’t exactly have the most encouraging reactions to that, so might be best to leave that part out for now, Izzy herself can tell him.

I then got to the current matter, our invasion of Hematite, how we’d teamed up with the Demi-Humans and Demons to take over this nation and turn it into a place where all races are treated equally and stuff.

He was silent for a moment as I finished my explanation, likely processing all the info I’d just dumped on him and letting it sink in, before finally glancing up, meeting my gaze and responding...

"I see, I understand now. I am still a bit suspicious of you, but I’ll reserve my judgment until I actually meet my daughters, Izzy and Lucy. Once I confirm that everything you’ve told me is indeed true, you shall have my full support."

"Great! Actually, we might be able to contact them now, if they’ve wrapped things up on their end of this battle," I replied, taking out my phone and dialing Izzy’s number.

We got phones for everyone shortly before leaving Obsidian, just to make things easier. I just hope she didn’t break her phone while fighting-...oh, never mind, it’s ringing.

"Hello? Hey, Larrk, what’s up? Are you done over there? Wait, does that mean...?"

"Hey, Izzy...I’m guessing you’re done too? And yes, it does mean that," I responded, before holding out my phone towards Satan.

"Hm? What is this object?" He inquired with a perplexed look on his face.

"It’s a communication device, you can use it to talk to people who are far away...Izzy’s on the other end, you just put it up to your ear and-...," I began to explain, before he swiftly snatched it and held the phone up to his ear.

"He...hello?" He said with a slight stutter, before a gleam appeared in his eyes, a wide smile spreading out across his face as his expression lit up with immense joy, tears welling up in his eyes...
