Showing a clear interest in my face, Plutus easily noticed it and decided to speak.


"As a fellow greedy person, you seem to be interested in this, aren"t you? Very well! You"re very welcomed to join us! Come, I will bring you to Mammon-sama so he can talk to you and show you what he is like, who he is, and what are his intentions… Alongside showing you what he has become." He said.


"What… he has become?" I asked curiously. What did he meant by this?


"You will see! Your wine is good too, so you better share it with Mammon-sama and then to the other Archdemons of the Ars Goetia that live in here. There is a bunch of nice people if you dig well enough, and we all share the same goal of making a lot of profits." Said Plutus.


"Uhhh… I don"t know. Let me talk it with the family first." I said.


"Hm, fine, go ahead." Said Plutus while drinking more wine and resting over the cold floor while being almost b.u.t.t naked.


I quickly brought my family a bit far away from him and made up a sound proof barrier.


"Masta, this sounds like fun!" said Rimuru.


"Yeah, I agree with Rimuru-chan, let"s go meet that man." Said Zehe.


"I think we can get to talk with him, he doesn"t seem unreasonable. If he"s like Plutus, then we can handle him with some booze." Said Nesiphae.


"Though, if he plans to make us his allies, then eating him is not recommended anymore, right?" asked Gaby.


"Yeah, Yeah, I know… Maybe I won"t eat him for now, I guess it would be better to join this place and see what"s up with it… I want to see if we can join the Rankings too, this seems like an ideal place to grow stronger as archdemons." I said.


"It does sounds interesting, indeed. Maybe we could wreck this entire place from the inside out through these systems implemented by the demons themselves, and that way grow strong enough to confront the princes." Said Brontes.


"That"s a good idea… I guess that"s what we are going to do for now. Let"s go greet Mammon for now, I have a strange feeling about him but I can"t really think what exactly it is… anyways, Plutus, guide us there." I said.


"Alright! Are you sure you don"t want to pa.s.s to a cafeteria first? I know some very good ones, I am even a VIP member on all of them and I can bring you to the tastiest pastries." He said.


"You"re seeking every way to make profit, aren"t you? I am not trading any daughter for some cakes." I said.


"Well, you can also use h.e.l.l Points to buy things inside Pandemonium… But well, we"ll see if you can have them or not." He said.


"Just bring us there already idiot, I am not here to wait for an eternity." I sighed.


"Alright, don"t get c.o.c.ky." Said Plutus.


We walked through the floors of h.e.l.l and suddenly reached the golden city of Mammon. The floor and every building were made out of gold and decorated with precious jewels, everything seemed to be only for the rich, where only the rich thrived and lived the best lives.


Inside of this place we found many Demons and even some Archdemons, which were big celebrities around the place, they were mostly of the Ars Goetia Group, which were the strongest Demons of h.e.l.l… some of them even as strong as Supreme Deities.


However, although our presences made them notice us and glare at us as we pa.s.sed through, Plutus was here to guide us, so they didn"t bothered us.


We walked across the many streets made of gold until we reached a large fortress, castle, or tower, or a combination of all of it. this was the amazing fortress of greed, where Mammon was said to reside.


As we made our way inside, Plutus began to explain us what had transpired with Mammon.


"You see, ever since you ate his Avatar that Mammon-sama had been acting strange. At first it wasn"t really anything other than a headache, but it intensified… well, to begin with a being like him shouldn"t even have headaches, right? Well, he did had them, and then this became fever, and then excruciating soul pain until he finally managed to beat this sickness and got over it… However, although I knew that Mammon-sama was still Mammon-sama, he had changed a bit much too, he had turned rather quirky… he often spoke hilariously, and sometimes was playful too. He had become rather carefree, more than before… and he often spoke coquettishly with people… This was very different from how he used to be, a calm and composed man… so I was wondering if this… is your fault." Said Plutus, looking at me as he stopped walking.


His eyes glared into my soul as I swallowed saliva.


f.u.c.k! Did that just happened? I am pretty sure I don"t have control over him…


So how come he became parasitized but is actually still him, but not?! What is going on with Mammon right now?


"Erm… We could say that the fault of this is not within my responsibility but also is." I said.


"…You"re stretching the words too much for me to care, simply enter and see for yourself. Mammon-sama shall decide your fate, not me." Said Plutus, opening two large golden gates in front of us, as what was revealed to us was…


Someone playing video games.


"Agh! What a pain! Why is that d.a.m.n Lizard"s move so annoying! I can"t even get close to him, and I am thrown outside the- Oh! You guys are finally here, h.e.l.lo! How are ya!"


A Mammon which we had not expected greeted us, one that looked very much unlike I had imagined him.


Mammon greeted our sight with what seemed to be his current form.


I remember that Mammon in the pictures Plutus showed to us didn"t looked like this… Mammon resembled a tall giant with no apparent gender, although he preferred to be called a male.


He didn"t showed a face as he covered himself with the skull of a goat. And his body was covered in cloths, gold, and all sorts of riches around him. He was silent and usually calm. But since he changed, he became different…
