Chapter 481 Chaos Queen
A chimeric creature, his body a blend of various insects, his face that of a fly, stood under the moonlight inside the grand throne room of the Demon King's place, his countless eyes fixed on the man seated atop the Throne.
"My King, why did you throw away the life of Caden even though he was a useful and loyal asset, and when his death served no purpose besides weakening the already slumbering Mammon," Beelzebub said after minutes of staying silent.
"Do you believe if his death did not serve a greater purpose, I will allow him to die?" Ahrimon questioned, and the proud Sin embodiment could only lower his head, knowing he had already crossed the line by raising the question on his King's judgment.
"Once a champion is chosen, everything he had belongs to the master, and that is the price for the gifts they receive,"
"But, A Sin Champion is far more than a Demon champion, and I do not mean the obvious of them being capable of wielding their master gifts or the temporary or permanent possession without any permanent side effects,"
"By everything, I mean the strength they possess, the talent they had, their memories, and they die, everything that could be taken would get stripped and will be given to their master,"
"So, In normal circumstances, the Death of his vessel would have resulted?in Mammon going into slumber immediately but not as a backlash but to receive what he could from his champion, his slumber being the lowest price he could pay to satisfy the work of his Sin Law."
"But because he is already paying the price of using his law, which could stretch as far as three decades, now when he will receive the gains from his Champion, the time of slumber instead of increasing will shrink from the previous few decades to few years,"
"Because, when he originally went into Slumber, he chose it as the equal price for abusing his greed Law, but now he doesn't have that option, and the world Law will be responsible for choosing the price,"
"The law always chose the best available option, so the price would be a part of the gains from his Champion, making the process last a few weeks instead of a few years,"
"Once he gains the massive spiritual and physical boost, his worth in the eyes of the Law will increase, and so will be the worth of his time, meaning the few decades that he would have spent slumbering would also reduce to few years because the Law is always just," Ahrimon said, revealing something that was not known to any Sin Embodiment.

(Two Weeks After The Death of Caden)
'So it seems I have no other option but to ask Evangeline for any info she could give,' Alex thought after hearing of another failure to find the location of the remaining seven conduit crystals.
It possessed been two weeks since Alex dealt with Caden, and during this time, the Royal guards had checked every piece of information they were able to acquire from Caden, but they found no success.
They were able to find many core locations of the Cult, with members numbering in the hundreds, elders that stood at the top, and things that might erase many noble houses and damage the reputation and core of big organizations, yet they found nothing of real value related to the essence conduit crystals.
However, what they discovered was not even a third of the cult, making them realize how big of a giant the cult possessed become by silently growing in the shadows.
Now, there was a possibility that the Elven Queen and the current human king might have some clues as to where to find the crystals or individuals who could give them information about them.
However, dealing with both of them was anything but easy because the Elven Queen certainly was not going to cooperate, so killing her or forcefully extracting information from her was the only option, and the same was true for the current Emperor.
So, dealing with the former was the same as starting a war, and dealing with the latter was relatively easy, but it was left to the Human Emperor for the time being.
Alex possessed no problem accepting Evangeline's friend request and making a deal with her because he might easily hide his name using a Gold system wish, and as for what she would want in return, it would be nothing compared to what was on the line.
But he waited so long because Alex wanted to get a proper idea of what he was dealing with, and now that he knew, he might finally contact her, even though he did not hold much hope for any real information.
