There was no surprise at all. The scene fell into freezing point because of Azazel's words.
Everyone frowned and looked at Azazel in a way that was not really friendly.
But Azazel didn't seem to see it and kept going his own way.
"When Kokabiel was suppressed, did I already express my opinion on behalf of our camp? That incident was entirely an action initiated by Kokabiel without telling other cadres and me, Governor General. None of us knew about it, and we would not be stupid enough to initiate a war in that way."
"What's the benefit to us if we just say that?"
"Grab a few holy swords, kill the two Demon King's sisters, make you angry, and then ask you to come and beat us?"
"With that spare time, why don't I secretly send the army to the territory of the angels and Devil, launch a surprise attack, seize part of the territory first, and then kill a few important people, so that even if the war breaks out, it will be in our favor?"
"Be it the Holy Sword or the Demon King's sister, even if these are lost, it is not painful at all to the Devil and Angel camps, right?"
Although Azazel's statement makes some people, including Rias Gremory and Sona Shitori, feel embarrassed, it must be said that it does make sense.
If you really want to start a war, why go round and round to steal the Holy Sword and kill the Demon King's sister? Wouldn't it be better to just take advantage of the two camps to launch a sneak attack and seize the opportunity and victory?
"After I found out that Kokabiel had done something stupid, I immediately sent Vali Lucifer, the current White Dragon Emperor, in order to prevent Kokabiel's private actions and prevent the influence from expanding."
Azazel shrugged and said so.
"Who knows, our White Dragon Emperor has just arrived at the scene, and Kokabiel has already been dealt with. We have no choice but to give up on the Kokabiel guy and let him be dealt with by the Devil side."
This is also an expression of sincerity from Fallen Angel.
Since an important figure on our side has caused a big disaster and been arrested by you, then you can deal with it however you want and we won't care. Isn't this sincere enough?
After all, Kokabiel is a cadre of Fallen Angel. Even if he makes a big mistake, generally speaking, it should not be dealt with by hostile forces. Instead, he must first rescue the person and then deal with it internally. This is the way of the big forces.
Otherwise, if one's important figures are dealt with casually by people from the opposing camp, it will only bring disgrace to the Fallen Angel side.
Under such circumstances, Fallen Angel decided to ignore Kokabiel, which shows that they are indeed unwilling to expand the conflict.
Sirzechs and Michael looked at each other, and then both looked at Azazel.
"In this case, can we think that the Fallen Angel side currently has no intention of having a serious conflict with us and triggering another war?"
Michael's serious inquiry was met with Azazel's cheerful laughter.
"Of course, including me, none of the current Fallen Angels have much interest in war. Especially me, I have absolutely no interest in war."
"We are actually a bunch of idiots here. We are more interested in Sacred Gear, women, etc. than wars and battles."
"Especially for me, I have been fighting for so many years and I have long been tired of war, so I am very satisfied with the current world."
As he said that, Azazel's eyes swept over Sirzechs, Serafall and Michael, and he spoke with emotion.
"In the past, we couldn't fight even if we didn't want to, because God's expressed will was to eliminate all evil and sin in this world, and whether Devil or us fallen angels, in God's eyes, they are evil people who are poisoning this world."
"Old Maous are also a group of ambitious people. They are not willing to live in Underworld all the time, let alone dominate the world at night, so they have always wanted to overthrow the dominance of God, occupy Heaven and Human World, and become the overlord of the world."
"Thus, inevitable conflicts will arise, and the Three Factions war will come from this, and last for thousands of years, causing Three Factions to suffer heavy losses, and they have to rely on humans to continue."
"It's okay now. God is gone, the Old Maous are all dead, and the source of the war is gone. The people responsible for commanding the Heaven and Devil worlds are gentle-tempered people like you who don't like war. I feel much more relaxed all of a sudden, and I can finally concentrate on doing some research that I like."
Azazel rarely said these words in a frivolous manner, but with emotion and sincere joy, so that anyone could hear that these were his sincere words.
Sirzechs, Serafall, Michael and others suddenly fell silent. Rias Gremory, Sona Shitori and others were also surprised that Azazel would say such a thing. Only Leo and Vali Lucifer behaved differently.
Leo has long known what kind of person Azazel is, so he is not surprised at all by his speech.
Vali Lucifer's eyes flickered, looking at Azazel who was feeling sincerely, not knowing what he was thinking.
"In short, I can tell you responsibly that Fallen Angel does not want to cause a war at all." Azazel became serious and said, "We each know very well that with our current situation, if a war is triggered again, Three Factions will definitely perish together this time. Even if there is a winner, the other party will suffer heavy losses that will no longer be able to continue the race, and will eventually be destroyed."
In response, Sirzechs and Michael nodded at the same time, agreeing with Azazel's statement.
"That's right, war can't happen again."
"If war happens again, this time we will all Power of Destruction."
Sirzechs and Michael both looked serious.
Some of the people listening were familiar with the current situation of Three Factions, while others had only a partial understanding. However, from the serious expressions of the leaders of Three Factions, they still understood the seriousness of the matter.
That is, war is completely self-destructive for Three Factions. Once it breaks out, it will never end well.
"This meeting is actually to confirm Three Factions's future intentions and confirm that everyone has the same consensus and the same idea." Serafall, the head of diplomacy, finally couldn't hold himself back and leaned forward and said, "Since everyone has the same consensus, how about taking this opportunity to conclude a peace agreement?"
As soon as these words came out, regardless of the big shots present, everyone listening was shocked at first.
Peace negotiation.
In other words, it is a peace agreement, a treaty of mutual non-aggression and even coexistence of mutual cooperation.
"Three Factions has been reduced to the point where it cannot survive without human beings. If we do not seek changes, it will be difficult to continue to develop in the future even if it does not perish."
Sirzechs had obviously already gotten angry with Serafall in advance, and immediately spoke after Serafall made the peace proposal.
"We at Devil feel that it is absolutely impossible to continue like this."
So peace is needed.
So cooperation is needed.
Three Factions Only by abandoning past grudges and working together can we have a future.
This is the view of the current Devil regime headed by Sirzechs.
"Hahaha!" Azazel immediately clapped his hands and laughed, pointing at Sirzechs and Serafall, and said with a look of laughter, "I didn't expect, I didn't expect, Devil, who is regarded as a symbol of evil by mankind, would actually take the initiative to propose a peace proposal on this occasion, which is simply subverting the world's perception!"
Devil actually prays for peace and coexistence. It's really like a joke.
"Sure enough, Devil has become different from before." Michael sighed with some confusion and relief, "In the previous wars, Old Maous were always Hardline Factions. Every time a war broke out, Devils were often the craziest and most chaotic ones on the battlefield."
"Even during the period when Heavenly Dragon was in chaos on the battlefield, Devil reluctantly chose to join the other two parties to deal with Heavenly Dragon at the end."
"The current Devil is so good. With people like you who long for peace as the devil, we can really relax a lot."
Whether it is Michael or Azazel, they have survived to this day from extremely ancient times.
On the other hand, Sirzechs and Serafall are new generations that were born in the past few hundred years.
For Michael and Azazel, whether it is Sirzechs or Serafall, they are all the younger generations, the little ones who have just grown up.
Because of this, both Michael and Azazel were very emotional when they came together to advocate change and peace.
They have seen Devil look the craziest, and they have also seen Devil look the most evil, so they will leave the evil image of Devil in the history books.
Bloody, dilapidated, sinful, and crazy—these are synonymous with Devil, and they are the image of Devil that has continued from ancient times to the present day.
But now, with the efforts of a group of young people, Devils are beginning to change.
This can't help but make Azazel and Michael, who have seen Devil's craziest and evil look, filled with emotion.
Just----
"Three Factions's war has been going on for a long time, and the accumulated hatred is higher than the sky and thicker than the earth. If you suddenly announce that you are letting go of the past and moving forward hand in hand, many people will not be able to accept it, right?"
When Azazel said this, it didn't seem like he was scrupulous about anything, let alone reminding him of something, but like he was confirming the determination of Sirzechs and others, with his tone full of provocation.
Michael also nodded and agreed with Azazel's statement.
The hatred and hostility between the Heaven and Devil worlds cannot be ignored. The church has even been training exorcists in order to deal with Devil.
For church people, Devil is a hazard that must be annihilated and driven away. Once they let go of their past concepts and cooperate with Devil, it will definitely have an unprecedented impact on their faith, right?
In fact, as former church members, Asia Argento and Xenovia Quarta looked shocked and stunned at this moment. They were as shaken as when they knew the truth about the death of God.
The same is true for the rest of the people, especially Pure-blood Devil who were born and raised in Underworld, such as Rias Gremory, Sona Shitori, Ravel Phenex, etc. The changes in expressions on their faces can only be described as wonderful.
You know, the overlords of Underworld are Devil and Fallen Angel. Each side occupies half of the territory. They have been coveting each other's territory for many years, and they will cause trouble for each other from time to time.
Now they suddenly say they are going to make peace and cooperate with each other, which is quite shocking.
There are still only Leo and Vali Lucifer, both of whom are indifferent to this result.
They were both people who had known that this development would happen for a long time, but one of them just took it as it comes, while the other secretly watched with cold eyes.
Then, everyone heard the responses of Sirzechs and Serafall.
"If hatred continues, it will only become a fatal cancer that harms everyone."
Sirzechs spoke solemnly.
"The ancient Devils are also tired of the war, and the Devils who are the main battlers no longer have the right to speak. The new generation has grown up in the current environment and is no longer as hostile to angels and Fallen Angels as the Devils of the past, so now is the time to forge ahead and boldly seek reform!"
Serafall is holding his little fist, looking playful and full of energy.
"Sure enough, the current Demon King is really interesting." Azazel laughed again, then turned to Michael and said, "What do you think? Archangel?"
"Our mission is to guide mankind, take care of and lead God's people towards a bright future." Michael said with a gentle smile, "We who have lost God have already experienced the confusion and panic of not knowing how to go forward. After all, there will no longer be gods to lead us forward."
"We can only open up the future ourselves and open up the road to the future."
"Peace is what we all dream of."
To say that it cannot bear the losses caused by the war, the angel side is definitely the most serious.
After Devil was developed, Evil Piece basically solved the problem of racial continuation and no longer had to worry about insufficient population.
Although Fallen Angel is the smallest among Three Factions, as long as there are angels in this world, it is inevitable that some angels will accidentally develop selfish desires and eventually fall.
Only angels can no longer increase their population after the death of God.
After all, angels cannot increase their number through reproduction. They are all creatures created by God. After the death of the Creator, the number of angels will no longer increase. One less one is a very serious loss.
Therefore, angels are currently the force that most relies on human power. Even dealing with Devil and Fallen Angel must rely on the church composed of humans. The angels are only responsible for blessing them, giving them Light Power, and letting them fight.
Therefore, angels are the force that is least willing to see war at present.
As for what the church is like, that is another matter.
Anyway, Michael is absolutely in favor of concluding a peace agreement.
"Then it's decided!"
Azazel made the decision directly.
"Three Factions Let's make peace and conclude a peace agreement!"
Devil, Angel and Fallen Angel are no longer hostile.
Three Factions The war that has lasted for thousands of years may have finally ended----
