48 Manipulated

The Devils, they dismissed themselves after the events to discuss among themselves about the event that had just happened.

They would have never imagined that someone would have the gall to barge inside their own territory and threaten them but they were also excited for the future prospects of having the Nekoshou as their servants. They were 100 percent sure that their powerful Lucifer would never lose to that filthy human.

In a giant room, all the the Satan and the head of the 72 pillars was present to discuss about the pink haired human Sage.

"That insolent human! The nerve of him to threaten us and leave like he owns this place. I think instead of going along with this, we should launch a surprise attack on them." One of the Devil spoke with rage.

"Yes.. I agree as well. They are a threat. We should attack." Many Devils started voicing their agreement.

"Are you all out of your minds? When we could get the Nekoshou who has already mastered Senjutsu for ourselves, you want to attack them? And there also the fact thst no matter what we do we won't be able to launch a surprise attack. The art of Senjutsu allows them to sense all beings at astounding feat." It was Beelzebub Ajuka who pointed out the fact. He was also a Super-class Satan like Sirzechs. He was also the most intelligent Devil who was the creator of Evil Pieces.

All the Devils kept quiet as what Ajuka said seemed to be correct and they fully trusted his intelligence.

"Then what is our next course of action?" A Devil questioned.

"What is there to think about? We wait for duel to happen, and about the other Factions we will handle it making it seem that we were the one dealt with bad hand." Zekram said but as he said that Serafall giggled at Zekram.

Zekram's looked at Serafall coldly, "What is so funny Leviathan? Did I make a joke for you to laugh?"

"Oh! But you did make a joke Zekram-jiji. It's so funny." Serafall said as she continued giggling.

Zekram was now alert. Serafall didn't show this kind of behaviour randomly even if she had a mischievous personality.

He then remembered that Serafall had agreed to the demand of that human without a second thought. He began to think if it was somehow connected.

"Tell me Leviathan, why did you agree to the demand of that human so quickly?" Serafall hearing that laughed for a while longer and her expression changed instantaneously.

"I think that your old age has caught up with you if such a cunning Devil like you has lost the edge to think clearly." Serafall told him with ice in her tone.

All the Devils were shocked that she had insulted Zekram. Even Zekram himself was shocked but instantly snapped out of it.

"What do you mean?"

"You really have gone senile and not only you but each and everyone present has gone senile." Serafall mocked them.

"Just tell us what you mean Serafall." Zekram told her without the formality that came with her being Satan.

"Aju-chan, you should have realised by now right? Tell them what you found out. No need to feel down just because you were affected as well." Serafall said playfully.

Ajuka remained quiet for a while with his eyes closed. He opened them and spoke, "We were controlled."

The Devils were confused at that statement.

"We were controlled?" Everyone said aloud in confusion.

Zekram widened his eyes at the stark realisation. He was controlled...

The damn human had used some kind of subtle illusion to bring the end result to his desired goal.

He clenched his fist and punched the table in front of him in anger, completely destroying the table with no remains.

"THAT DAMN HUMAN!!!" He roared in anger.

And just like that Serafall decided to spice it up, "And you know what the best part is? He had somehow broadcasted the event live around the supernatural world. You can't make it seem like we were dealt with bad hand anymore."

Zekram, he fainted hearing that. He was a cunning Devil or so he thought but he had been outsmarted by a mere human. Sirzechs too was fuming now. He couldn't wait to beat the human.

Serafall, she just looked at the chaos with a sad smile. If she hadn't agreed to Akira's demand then the Devil's already ruined reputation would fall further making them the enemies of the world.

She wondered how he had even done that in the first place but how could she know of the wonderful Hax skill called Shadow Clone.

In the end, they were manipulated.

The Devils who manipulated were instead manipulated.
