Chapter 1856: with translation of chapter title

NO. 471：There's a feeling of getting on the wrong vehicle.

Digital World, Hei'an Area, Babel Tower of the Devil King's Holy Hall

Entities:

Digital World

Hei'an Area

Babel Tower of the Devil King's Holy Hall

Soaring into the clouds, it seems to connect the pitch-black earth and sky as a wondrous structure; originally it was called the Babel Tower, but evidently, for the local Digimon who are not optimistic about the popularization of quality education, the simple and direct name 'Great Sin Tower' is easier to remember and spread.

Entities:

Babel Tower

Great Sin Tower

Local Digimon

Furthermore, named after the power source of the Seven Great Demon Lords, it better demonstrates the authority of the Holy Beast's Fallen Form as the widely recognized 'strongest among the Seven Demon Lords,' but everyone also knows:

Entities:

Seven Great Demon Lords

Holy Beast Fallen Form

the strongest among the Seven Demon Lords

That is its prison.

No new.

Everyone doesn't realize that the prison has already deteriorated; the holy chains once used to seal it have been completely worn away by Hei'an, and now those chains serve only as decoration, yet even that decoration is enough to hide the truth—after all, the vast majority of Digimon and humans who come to the Babel Tower to audience with the Pride Demon Lord don't have the time to examine the chains closely.

Entities:

Holy Chain

Hei'an

Babel Tower

Pride Demon Lord

Digimon

In fact, even looking up is not easy.

No.

That oppressive feeling from top to bottom makes one feel that even raising a hand is overstepping, and staring is an extreme offense.

No.

You can rely on courage and endurance to get through this fear, but that doesn't mean you'll thereby gain permission, right? How many could earn the Pride King's equal regard? When you think it's locked away there and thus hard to punish, you likely also forget that all the Fallen Angel Digimon of the Hei'an Area are under the Holy Beast Fallen Type's command, and you fail to notice that countless eyes on every layer of the Babel Tower are watching you.

Entities:

Pride King

Hei'an Area

Fallen Angel Digimon

Holy Beast Fallen Type

Babel Tower

Lifting your head without permission could very well result in being hacked to pieces.

No.

Having a chance to audience the king surely requires a bit of cleverness, but that cleverness often backfires; the Holy Beast Fallen Form has remained sealed—this notion has long been common knowledge among the public.

Entities:

King

Holy Beast Fallen Form

Unbeknownst to them, it had already broken free; they didn't realize that such a humble way of audience was outdated, and they didn't know that the Holy Beast Fallen Form could now even hold meetings with humans.

Entities:

Holy Beast Fallen Form

"First, stay quiet, Lilith Beast; the fault of acting rashly can be addressed later."

Entities:

Lilith Beast

"But, my lord, this is a serious mistake..."

No new.

At the meeting, noticing the change in the Holy Beast Fallen Type's gaze, the Lilith Beast, being sensible, kept silent.

Entities:

Holy Beast Fallen Type

Lilith Beast

"Sorry, I overstepped."

No.

"Not bad; I thought the newcomer would be up for a rotation again," Barbatus Beast said calmly, "How about letting Belphe Beast's successor speak too? This is your first time attending the Demon Lord Council."

Entities:

Barba Beast

Belphe Beast

Demon Lord Council

Young person

"But..." Although it appeared in a sleeping form with closed eyes, the newly activated Belphe Beast carefully observed the reaction of the Holy Beast Fallen Type.

Entities:

Belphe Beast

Holy Beast Fallen Type

Sleep Form

Seeing no abnormality, he continued his questioning:

No.

"Why are there humans at the Demon Lord Council?"

Entities:

Demon Lord Council

That remark was naturally directed at the woman sitting together at the council.

No.

Even if the opponent appeared via a data-eroding projection and wasn't truly seated in any Demon Lord's seat, it still exceeded Belphe Beast's expectations.

Entities:

Data-eroding projection

Demon Lord's seat

After all, he had only just evolved into Belphe Beast (Sleep Form) two minutes ago.

Entities:

Belphe Beast

Sleep Form

As soon as the Crown of Sloth was crowned, it reactivated the Demon Lord Council; although the Great Sin Crown itself carries data that lets it know the council's mechanisms and functions, it also realizes that a few days before its own coronation, there had been another council—only that meeting had the Demon Lords intervene to ensure the ceremony went smoothly, allowing it to pass through numerous obstacles.

Entities:

Crown of Sloth

Great Sin Crown

Demon Lord Council

Demon Lord

But…

No.

Why is there a human woman here?

No.

Although the woman's appearance is strange—black fissures filled with eyeballs etched across her face, making her face look crowded—Belphe Beast had gotten by fine before its promotion and had even interacted with the human forces building in the Hei'an Area, hearing rumors of odd people and events in the Human World.

Entities:

Hei'an Area

Human forces

Human World

That bizarre, ferocious appearance might just be a quirky human fashion… he thought so, thus paid it no mind, only marveling at how and why it existed.

No.

"Because the Demon Lord Council isn't a meeting only for Demon Lords."

Entities:

Demon Lord Council

"Isn't that so?"

No.

Once again in this cramped space, the miniaturized giant crocodile—Leviathan Beast—raised its snout in surprise: "What is the Demon Lord Council?"

Entities:

Giant crocodile

Leviathan Beast

Demon Lord Council

"It's probably a council concerning the fate of Demon Lords." The Demon God Beast on the Wrath Seat showed no interest, after all, it isn't fond of meetings.

Entities:

Wrath Seat

Demon God Beast

Demon Lord Council

"Just think about when this council convenes: it's either when a Demon Lord dies or when one ascends; originally only Demon Lords could reach this space, so you can't say the newcomer's claim is wrong, Holy Beast."

Entities:

Demon Lord Council

Demon Lord

Holy Beast

"…" That remark instantly made the baby‑like Belphe Beast (Sleep Form) break into a sweat, feeling that the Demon Lord wearing the Crown of Pride would not tolerate such questioning.

Entities:

Belphe Beast

Sleep Form

Crown of Pride

Demon Lord

However, only it thought that.

No.

Because it was the first time attending the council and also the first time audienceing the legendary brutal entity.

Entities:

Brutal Existence

The result was unexpectedly pleasant conversation.

No.

"Well, that's true too; if so, let's drop this and get back to the main topic." The two locked eyes; the clash of pride and wrath produced not a single spark, and their calm made Belphe Beast question life.

Entities:

Pride

Wrath

Belphe Beast

Could it be that the legends we've heard since ancient times are all false?

No.

Could it be that they are not affected by the Great Sin Crown?

Entities:

Great Sin Crown

No way—clearly, after receiving that power, I've been constantly drowsy…

No.

You say that after finally getting a chance and struggling to break into the big shot's circle, only to find some key settings mismatched—how devastating must that be?

No.

Fortunately.

No.

Fortunately, Lilith Beast has been gently exuding charm.

Entities:

Lilith Beast

Fortunately, Beelzebub Beast has been impatiently clicking its tongue.

Entities:

Beelzebub Beast

Fortunately, Barba Beast has been spacing out as if lost in thought.

Entities:

Barba Beast

Fortunately! These three still match the rumors, legends, and stereotypes, and they've preserved Belphe Beast's worldview.

Entities:

Belphe Beast

To be frank, after all these unexpected events at the outset, it has actually become somewhat clear-headed.

No.

Realizing that as a newcomer to the council, it must face many unknowns, possibly even encountering aspects of those once‑great figures that remain hidden, not to mention the great secrets exclusive to the Demon Lord rank—indeed, staying silent is best at this point.

Entities:

Demon Lord Rank

Holy Beast (Fallen): "Her appearance was made possible with some Human World technology, so you all should be pleased about that."

Entities:

Holy Beast

Human World

Demon God Beast: "Pleased?"

Entities:

Demon God Beast

Barba Beast: "Exactly, it's pleasing; human technology can already analyze this space's

Barbamon again.

Crown of the Seven Deadly Sins again.

"This power will become our aid, Majinju," the Pride King remained politely OOC in Belphemon's eyes, "Human technology, the returning Beelzebumon can still inherit that data of Belphemon; I believe this will be our strongest generation yet."

Entities:

Pride King again.

"Even if Lilithmon and Belphemon are newcomers?" Beelzebumon poured cold water.

Entities:

Lilithmon again.

Belphemon again.

Beelzebumon again.

And the two Demon Lords who were splashed remained silent, quite self-aware.

Entities:

Demon Lord generic.

Of course, that Belphemon, which somewhat deviates from the Sloth Nature, had its mind racing, thinking while listening what this was about.

Entities:

Sloth Nature attribute.

Belphemon again.

He felt that things were heading in the wrong direction; this group seemed to be up to something… He hadn't figured it out yet, but the words from the other side continued to advance.

No.

"Of course, our advantages are enough to cover our disadvantages; moreover, we have time to smooth out those disadvantages."

No.

"Huh?"

No.

This seems to have suddenly mentioned myself…

Belphegor Beast subconsciously shifted its position: "What, what?"

"Training, Belphegor Beast, you need to familiarize yourselves with combat, and you must also prepare to face human warriors."

"???"
