"Okay, one hour done." I nodded.

"Please don't ask me to do any more of these things, Kireina. I have an honor to uphold as a mighty Archdemon!" Mammon complained. "I also helped you many times before too! Don't be so mean with me! I thought we owed one another things so it balanced out."

"Yeah but once you ghosted me after that confession you lost all of it." I said.

"Ugh… yeah that was awful, sorry." He sighed. "So, will you help me?"

"Oh, you wanted me to help you? well, that's a whole other deal, actually." I said. "What you did and offered to me was just to apologize for the first day of ghosting, you got two more days of making up for it, and THEN we can talk about me helping you."

"Even for an Archdemon such as myself, I feel your actions are very cruel." He sighed, feeling rather sad. I gave him a gentle head pat as I smiled.

"Don't worry, I only ask for easy things." I giggled. "Aside from half of your domain and ninety percent of everything I get from killing your foes. I also want some resources. You have many, many resources, right? I'll be needing a lot of top tier Demonic Treasures too. Probably some Demonic Weapons, Armor, and the like to arm up my family and people. We'll be battling Abyss Vampires later."

"My treasures… Fine, I suppose I can afford some of that for you." He nodded. "Ugh, what else?"

"To make up for the third day, I want you to offer me soldiers." I said. "A few million top-tier demons that could give their lives for me."

"What do you want with them?" He asked.

"What else than to invade Abyss and make it mine? I've already decided after some thinking, I should just take what I can." I shrugged. "Abyss will become mine."

"Y-you sure got strong thoughts now, didn't you just wanted to chill?" He asked.

"To chill? After learning everything I've learned. I need power, Mammon. You're going to give me a lot of power, but I need even more. Do you get it, honey?" I winked at him. "We'll crush everyone and everything."

"Sure, fine…" He nodded.

"Also, do you happen to have a sun or something?" I wondered.

"A sun?!" He asked. "No, hell is illuminated through special demonic energy crystals. You need one to evolve, right? I think I could help you get the one from Abyss really easily."

"Wait, really?!" I asked.

"Yes, right now actually." He smiled. "I hadn't told you but I did hear you wanted that. As my future wife, I suppose I do need to spoil you from time to time, hehe."

"Ooh? Now that's a nice attitude, will you become my sugar daddy or something?" I laughed out loud. "Anyways, what is your plan? I am too far away from there to get it immediately, and I am on my way to help my family so…"

"Have you heard about Abyss' Recessed? They're powerful beings that were revived by corrupted light of the sun. Celestials that reached the level of Demigods but were slain by the Blood God, but were then revived as monstrous Undead, opposite of their original Divinities." He answered. "These are called Recessed, and are enemies of most Vampires, and threatening foes that constantly expand their land over time. Now, well, one of such Recessed made a contract with me long ago."

"Wait, what?! You never said so!" I complained.

"And he happens to manage the group of Recessed that maintain the Sea of Blight, the resulting corrupted holy light that comes from the Sealed Sun within the Sea of Darkness. This is their source of power and also how they can summon their Fallen Celestial Armies and continue growing stronger." He explained. "He owes me many favors by now, as he uses my Demonic Powers quite freely to get where he has reached in their hierarchy. I'll tell him to create a Demon Tower there and through it, we'll teleport instantly there. Then, you can just snatch the sun and disappear."

"That… Could actually work. Though I'll need to use a doppelganger, but yeah." I nodded. "But will he accept you taking away the Sun? Isn't that their source of power?"

"I know, that's why I'm going to trick him into telling him I want to just visit him. He's actually really obsessed with me too… To the point it's a bit creepy, so he'll happily met me." He smiled cockily.

"Oh? Is he in love with you or something?" I laughed.

"…I don't want to consider that possibility." Mammon lamented.

"Hahah! I like that plan. What do you guys think?" I asked my family. I had also invited Redgaria, Shadrach, Luminous, and Loki's parties.

"If you can manage to get that powerful Sun, not only could you ascend into a Star Devourer, but you could reach even further beyond, Kireina-sama!" Agatheina nodded. "Without a doubt, it is worth giving it a shot while you move to find the rest of your family."

"I agree as well, but how strong are those Recessed things?" Wondered Gaby.

"Their power level varies, but they're definitely on another level. Most of them are at minimum World Devourer Realm." Said Mammon. "The one I'll be calling is at least World Devourer Realm of Rank 8."

"Very strong…" Redgaria sighed. "Kireina, I can help too, but you'll need to let me become World Ruler Realm."

"I guess there's no helping it." I shrugged. "I can arrange something for you and Loki's parties. You'll owe me even more favors though."

"I-I can pay with my body…" Loki blushed.

"I don't need your body Loki." I sighed.

"Eep… Rejected again!" Loki cried.

"Mother stop being ridiculous for once." Hel groaned.

"I agree too, let's do this. If you can get stronger, Kireina. Then that's for the better." Luminous nodded. "I am a bit jealous though but… It can't be helped; you can have the first Star. I want to go rescue Elfina and everyone else quickly though." He was surrounded by a lot of the young dragon maids, who were hugging his arms and coiling his body with their tails.

"I agree as well, our strength is yours, Kireina." Shadrach nodded with his children.

"Good." I smiled. "We'll depart in a couple of days, so let's get prepared."
