The tragedy occurred during the day when the banquet began.

“According to survivors, the base was busy preparing for the festival that day.”

A large-scale massacre at the Bunderry military base.
Right before the incident, the soldiers were in a festive mood.

“They said they were going to eat them all and locked them up in a warehouse.”

Although the demon army succeeded in occupying most of the human world, they were unable to capture all the people who lived there.
Those who escaped from the hands of the demons organized a rebel army.
They are resisting the demons by conducting guerrilla warfare with the determination to regain the stolen land.
The Demon Army stationed in the human world is prioritizing the suppression of this rebel.

“The survivors are all human women from the rebels. They say the organization was destroyed by our military’s massive attack.”

The Demon Army stationed in Bunderry succeeded in destroying the rebel organization operating in the area.
All the men were killed, and only the women were captured and brought back to the base.
Before the banquet began, the demon soldiers cheered loudly, saying that they had won the most dramatic victory.

“Everyone said they were locked in a warehouse naked. It was the worst for them, but being trapped saved them.”

The captive women were locked in a small warehouse in a state of nakedness and limbs restrained.
In the evening, everyone had to tremble in fear at the fact that they would be raped by demons.

But what they faced was not a demon.

“They say they suddenly heard the screams of soldiers.”

A group of women suddenly appeared in the base busy preparing for the party.
Women in silver armor and helmets.
The figure holding a sword and shield reminded me of a female warrior from a legend.

And the female warriors slaughtered the demon soldiers mercilessly.

“When I went and looked, it was all over. According to survivors, it took less than an hour before the voices were no longer heard.”

Helpless cheated.
The soldiers immediately raised their weapons and responded, but to no avail.
They were all killed without even trying to counterattack at a speed that could not be tracked with the naked eye.
The base, which was in full swing with a festive atmosphere, was filled with screams.
The soldiers who enjoyed the joy of victory turned into cold corpses.
A thousand soldiers were slain by just ten female warriors.

“The survivors said they were watching the situation with bated breath.”

Instead of shouting for help, the survivors watched the outside with a tense expression on their faces.
Because I felt something strange.

To be called angels, they had no wings on their backs.
However, to be said to be the same human, his combat power was beyond imagination.
And if there were such people, why did they only appear now?
Why didn’t they appear at the beginning of the war and show up towards the end?
Because there were so many questions, the survivors did not carelessly inform them that they were trapped.

“I was caught and almost died.”

Eventually, the female warriors found a warehouse where the survivors were locked up.
And tried to kill the survivors.

“I just arrived.”

Then, Junice appeared.

“The monsters appeared. I received a rescue request asking me to come even if it was the Demon King. Something was wrong, so I went alone.”

I contacted the commander, the highest military leader, not another superior.
This means that a major problem has arisen that cannot be resolved unless the commander is present.
Junice, who took the matter seriously, entrusted Arrieta with Charis assistant, which she would originally do.
And he himself went to Bunderly through his portal.

“It’s the first time I’ve dealt with people who don’t die like that.”

The battle continued late into the night.
It wasn’t just because the female warriors were strong.

Because he had unimaginable regenerative powers, he quickly came back to life no matter how much Junice threw lightning at him.
After pushing them to the point of burning them all, Junis was able to win.
If it weren’t for his regenerative abilities, Junice would have been congratulated by everyone in the hall that day.

“I get pissed off thinking about it again. Are you going to fuck those bastards again?”

He was appointed as the successor he wanted so much, but he was not there.
The anger he felt then flared up again.
A small spark rose from Junice’s right hand.

“Hey, Commander Junice. Take your anger out later. Now, the priority is to explain to everyone.”
“Mi-sorry, Eris.”

Junis, who came to his senses at Eris’s words, began to explain again.

“When I interrogated them with lightning bolts, they said they were goddesses dispatched from the heavens.”

Goddess.
Upon hearing those words, the atmosphere in the room quickly turned upside down.

“Quiet. The Commander’s words are not over yet.”

When Eris raised a hand to stop him, the chatter quickly stopped.
When it was quiet, Junice spoke again.

“Originally, the authors had no interest on earth, but when I heard that Minerva was captured, my eyes went round.”

Right now, Eris has urgently summoned the heads of each representative race.
The place where they gathered was a large room when entertaining guests in the Spanish mansion.
Gathered around a large oval table, they listened to Junice.

“That’s why they claim that Minerva sent them to recapture it.”

As they listened to Junice’s story, a common emotion appeared on the faces of the chiefs.

Perplexity.
The chiefs, who had known only one goddess until now, couldn’t believe Junice’s story.
Even though they have in their hands a report detailing what happened to Bunderry.

“So he came to Bunduri, but things went wrong because he met me.”

Junice and Eris were the only ones remaining calm in this place.

“In addition to recapturing Minerva, he confessed that his purpose was to purify the ground.”
“Anything other than that?”
“Doesn’t exist. Even when I asked how to go to the heavens or what the power to protect Minerva was, he wouldn’t tell me. It was useless even if I roasted it whole.”
“Okay? Okay. Then sit down.”

At Eris’s words, Junis sat down in a chair.

“They’re goddesses, I thought there were none but Minerva…”

Ghaul, the leader of the werewolves, muttered with his arms crossed.
Usually, werewolves maintain their human form except for their tails and ears, but Ghaul was the exact opposite.
He was a wolf himself.
Not only the head, but also the body and limbs all maintained the form of a beast.
Someone would have mistaken it for a big blue wolf standing on two legs.

“Purification. Are you saying you want to kill both humans and angels?”

Druid chief Enti made a serious expression.
With green bobbed hair, a laurel crown, and white clothes, he reminded me of a great sage of the forest.

“I’ve already heard of it, but I never thought it would truly descend.”

The succubus queen, Selena, made a slightly nervous expression.
Although she wore a purple dress with a deep cut in her chest, she had no intention of boasting.
It’s because this problem is the most serious right now to the extent that I don’t think so.

“A thousand soldiers killed? Are these guys we can deal with?”

The leader of the harpies, Kenyon, also made a serious expression.
The wings on both arms are made of brown, the same color as his hair.
As if resonating with the owner’s emotions, the numerous feathers on the wings were standing stiffly.

“Isn’t it time to enjoy the festival? Shouldn’t we be prepared soon?”

Bathory, the vampire aristocrat queen, was greatly embarrassed.
There was a chance to revive her clan by recapturing the holy land, but it would not be unreasonable to panic because an obstruction appeared out of nowhere.

“I really never thought of this, did I? Did the Demon King know?”

Rich black hair and alluring red eyes.
Camilla, the leader of the dream demons in a black uniform, asked Eris the demon king.
I never could have imagined that something like this would come up at a meeting I was attending for the first time.

“The conquest of Carti is right in front of you, but a goddess. Should we withdraw her fleet?”

The chief of the Sirens with purple long hair and orange eyes.
Lorelai, wearing a blue uniform, asked with a concerned expression.
Currently, the fleet is breaking through the final line of defense of the Karti Kingdom.
In a situation where she had to push right away, Lorelai was anxious that she would be greatly damaged by an unexpected ambush.

“… I knew.”

Eris calmly opened her mouth.

“Sorry for not notifying you. When everything was clear, she was going to tell me then.”

Eris revealed her story about her goddess here.

“Where should I start talking? Shall we start with her father’s diary?”

The hint that there were other goddesses besides Minerva was recorded in the diary of the previous demon king, Leviathan.
Even in the history books recorded so far, there were phrases suggesting the existence of other goddesses.
It is said that Leviathan’s death was caused by the intervention of the goddesses.
That the goddesses are in a place called the heavenly realm.
That they are manufacturing weapons to subdue the goddesses.
And,

“Minerva said the goddesses won’t leave the earth alone if you catch her.”

Because she caught Minerva, she even revealed everything about the goddesses coming to earth.

“Well, it seems that the warning has come true.”

Maybe it’s too early to reveal the truth about the goddesses?
Eris thought so, but she had no intention of evading it.
Sooner or later, it was all going to be revealed someday.
It’s just that the schedule was moved forward because of what happened in Bunderry.

“…”

Everyone couldn’t say anything.
We just looked into each other’s eyes.

“Hey, I have a question for you, Maou-nim.”

Bathory quietly raised her hand.

“How is the banquet going? Wouldn’t it be better not to go for seven days and finish it right now?”

Enemy has appeared.
Then it’s not the time to play and eat.
You have to go back right away and prepare.
Bathory’s question had such a meaning.

“No, I will go ahead with it.”

Eris quickly rejected Bathory’s offer.

“It is true that something big happened in Bunderry. In fact, even the soldiers are trembling with anxiety. But you don’t need to control your insecurities beyond that.”
“Yeah, but to continue like this…”
“Progress. However, going back is free.”
“That word…”
“It doesn’t matter if you take your people back to the Saint, you just have to understand that, Bathory.”

It is a banquet that only happens once a year.
An abrupt halt to the banquet would amplify the already widespread uneasiness.
If that anxiety spreads further, it’s better to go ahead with it, that was Eris’ idea.

And, the goddesses who descended to the ground completely surrendered, so why stop the banquet?

“As you can see from the report, the goddesses who attacked Bunderry were on our side.”

The report details the conversation Junis had when interrogating the goddesses.
Based on that conversation, you can infer what the heavens are thinking.
You can also see why he gave in.

In summary, it is as follows.

– Chu, festival? Oh, we didn’t even know that you guys were having a party.

-〉 The goddesses have no interest in the ground.

-That we came is a mess? Isn’t it the demon realm? I thought I’d find Minerva-sister if I just went in…

-〉 Has no minimum knowledge of the ground.

-Wow, our goddess is from the heavenly world to the ground, there is no way to contact her. Yes, there is a way to contact the heavenly world from the ground.

-〉 If you manipulate it without a doubt, the heavens don’t know what will happen on the ground.

– Ha, I will, I will! I’ll do it Burr, lightning please!

-〉 Due to Junice’s terrible torture, the goddesses who descended to the ground have long since given in. We can use these guys to delay the intervention of the celestial realm.

The goddesses who bravely fought to get her sister back ended up being Junice’s slaves.

“So your sacred ground will not be attacked.”
“…”
“Of course, no one will be relieved to say this.”
“…”
“If anyone wants to go back here first, I will immediately open the portal and send them to the Holy Land. I have no intention of forcing you to stay in the floche.”

The response to this proposal was half-and-half.

“Then I go to Saint…”
“I will also go back to the forest. We cannot see our holy places burning.”
“I will return to the fleet too. I don’t think this is the time to sing.”

There are those who wish to return immediately, such as Bathory, Enty, and Lorelai, but

“I’m leaving for a while. I haven’t even played properly yet.”
“I will stay here a little longer. The holy ground is well guarded by the princess.”
“I will stay here too. It’s close to Glorys anyway, so it doesn’t matter if you go late.”
“I just don’t want to go back either.”

There were also those who wanted to stay in Flosh, such as Ghaul, Kenyon, Selena, and Camilla.

“It seems that opinions have been sorted out. Then, does anyone have the next question?”

After the chiefs asked questions and Eris answered them several times, the meeting was over.

The conclusions drawn from the meeting were as follows:

– The festival continues uninterrupted.
-Those who want to return early are sent back to the Holy Land through the dimensional door.
-Distributes the weapons and chains for the Goddess currently being produced to each race.
-Representative races also actively cooperate in developing weapons for the Goddess.

“If there are no questions, let’s end the meeting like this.”

Hearing Eris’ words, the heads of each representative race stood up and went outside.

“Camilla, you stay. I have something to tell you.”

Except for the leader of the dream demons.
