The devil kings of the Nine Hells smiled as they raised their glasses and took elegant sips upon hearing the announcement.
"Deathwing Alduin? An interesting little fellow. At this moment when the gods are about to fall into the mortal world, welcome to our hunting game, great Lord Deathwing!"

As for the ill-intentioned hypocrisy of the Hell Devils and the savage threats of the Abyssal Demons, Alduin ignored them completely.
"You are all lab rats.
