If Asmodeus had merely been gambling on a possibility, then whether the world they now inhabited existed or not was not all that important.
After all, since that statue had never managed to absorb the nourishment beneath its feet and reveal its divinity, it could be moved to another world at any time.
Not every statue could be awakened. Such things were unique.
It could only fail. It would never go astray.
And Glasya had always been an impatient princess.
Once she had grown tired of playing with humans, it was perfectly normal for her to turn around and play with him, Fengo.
Of course he did not want that, but he lacked the courage to stop it in advance... Fengo knew very well that, in the Lord of Hell's eyes, his status was no different from that of a dog at the palace gates.
Making an enemy of Glasya without evidence could only lead to death.
After all, the fallen angels behind Asmodeus could kill a few archdevils on a whim, or cause some of the Lord of Hell's plans to fail, and their punishment would merely be imprisonment inside an ice sphere to clear their heads. They could get out in a century or so... They did not even need to admit fault. A promise to be more careful next time was enough.
Heh~ Whether they were being careful not to offend again or simply not to get caught again was hard to say.
If it were archdevils like them, with no backing and no choice but to rely on the Lord of Hell to survive, the best possible outcome would be being locked inside an iceberg for ten thousand years.
More likely, they would be crushed into pulp and start all over again as soul maggots.
