Chapter 2161: Dragged to Hell II
"What do you mean by silent?" Adrian asked as he suddenly felt that the atmosphere became heavier.
"When a Primordial Beast of Sin gets revived, we would usually sense it in advance. We are still connected to them because the energies present in their bodies are also present in ours. This also helps us to know which of us should descend to take arms against them. This time, all of them got unsealed but we could not sense them." Lucifer explained.
"Does that mean that they might not have been unsealed then? Maybe there was a problem with the ritual that awakened all of them and made them go into slumber." Adrian asked.
"If they did go to slumber then they would not have suddenly reclaimed most of the negative energy from us. At most, they could have gotten control over half of the negative energy, but this time is different. As if all of them became prepared in advance to suddenly take all of it. If we did not notice the sudden disturbance, then they might have been able to take all of it." Mammon stated.
"Is that even possible? How could they evade your senses when you practically fished me out at a place protected by a world tree." Adrian stated as suddenly summoning him is not a small feat.
"True. You were quite difficult to forcefully summon as we had to combine all of our magic to pull you here. I am quite impressed that you needed all of us to even grace us with your presence." Asmodeus stated.
"If they are now able to avert your gazes then there is a plausible way. Although... I am not sure how they pulled it off because it needs lots of preparation and time." Adrian stated as he had an idea but does not know if it is plausible.
"Please enlighten us." Lucifer stated as he looked at Adrian with interest.
"As soon as they were revived, they got sealed in a body. A mortal's body to be exact." Adrian stated.
"Is that even possible? A mortal body containing the power of a primordial beast?" Leviathan asked.
"It is possible because some gods have done it. Some even impregnated mortals using that method to create demigods, but I digress. Bodies fitting for gods or even primordial beasts to inhabit are not easy to come by. They would still need compatibility as incompatible hosts would just explode and die." Adrian stated.
"How does one determine compatibility?" Beelzebub asked as he is suddenly interested in the topic.
"They should live a live that closely resembled the teachings or attitude of the god or primordial god that will inhabit it." Adrian answered.
"That would be a problem then because a lot of living beings show all types of the Sin. It came from the negative energy of humans in the first place." Lucifer stated.
"Oh! That is an oversight on my part. That would mean that they easily found a body after they already found where the Primordial Beast of Sin will revive. Whoever planned all of this might have been preparing for at least a decade. The level of detail actually is impressive." Adrian stated as he appreciated the cunningness of the enemy, but all of the Seven Devil Gods looked at him with judging eyes.
"Uh... Ehem. Moving on... that is the way that I have thought about." Adrian added.
"Even if they get sealed, will the mortal body not get destroyed in the end if they accumulate more power?" Beelzebub stated.
"The mortal body will deteriorate unless it is special. The easiest way for them to do that is to have a lot of candidates for vessels so the primordial beast could just jump to another one if the vessel could no longer be used. The best vessel would be a demigod but catching them and having the same qualities as the primordial beast is another matter entirely." Adrian stated which made the Seven Devil Gods contemplate.
"Whoever planned this is meticulous, indeed." Beelzebub stated.
"They also know the history between us and the Seven Primordial Beasts of Sin." Leviathan stated.
"It could be possible that they established some form of connection even before they were unsealed. The primordial beast itself would have crafted the perfect plan to revive them without getting detected." Adrian stated which made all of the Seven Devil Gods ponder.
All the Seven Devil Gods then remembered that the revival of the Seven Primordial Beasts of Sin was quite different for the past two hundred years. The Seven Primordial Beasts of Sin usually revive every one hundred years, but they did not do so in the past two hundred years. This would mean that the plan for them getting revived all together took two hundred years to formulate.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"It took them two hundred years to plot something like this. We rarely have a concept of time because we are gods, but they also used that against us. We did not even investigate when a hundred years passed." Lucifer stated as he now felt the gravity of the situation.
"We cannot move now as well. We do not even have champions that could be vessels for us to descend. If that ruined goddess did not persecute the beings that believed in us, then we might have been prepared with at least champions." Satan stated.
"I think we have no other choice but..." Lucifer stated as he suddenly looked at Adrian.
Adrian felt the burden of that stare because that is a stare of a god that lets you carry all of it. They will basically just be a cheering squad since they could not offer any support. Adrian already beat them to the punch just as soon as Lucifer started opening his mouth.
"How about doing something like this?" Adrian stated as he did not want all the burden to be on him.

"Ah! The plan proceeded correctly. Even though, I am in the body of a mortal that is already starting to break down." A man that was previously killed on an altar suddenly stated.
