Chapter 991
Baroque knew he couldn’t secure the support of the Seventh Domain’s demons, but there was one reason he still went ahead with his coup.
The Demon Lord of Deception, Dantalion.
Dantalion promised to send his armies from the Fifth Domain to support Baroque.
No matter how blinded Baroque was with power, he knew that allowing the Fifth Domain to interfere with the internal affairs of the Seventh Domain was a clear breach of their sovereignty.
Doing so was a blatant act of foreign intervention—an act of surrendering the Seventh Domain’s sovereignty.
That decision alone would be more than enough to completely destroy Baroque’s reputation among the demons of the Seventh Domain. Yet, Baroque had decided to take Dantalion’s hand, kill his father, and become the new demon lord.
’No one’s going to dare say anything once I become a fully-fledged demon lord.’
Baroque was planning to break his secret alliance with Dantalion and the Fifth Domain after wielding the demon lord’s full power.
However, the secret alliance with the Fifth Domain would finally surface today, and it would, without a doubt, destroy Baroque’s reputation.
But this did not matter...
Baroque knew that if he killed Metatron and seized the Avenger from Siegfried, then no one would deny that he was the rightful ruler of the Seventh Domain.
Once that happened, nobody would question his legitimacy, as those daring enough to oppose him by then would be crushed by his immense strength.
