Chapter 644 The Demonic Cult's Plans
The voice of someone rather familiar to many in Stronghold City was heard across a Demonic Orb transmitting into the Cult\'s base. Another of the many humans that have betrayed humanity and sided with the Demons for devious, selfish reasons.
"That\'s right… I am honestly surprised of what the little Blake has done…" He said. "Heh, but doesn\'t this makes it even more fun? Sathan, you also want that girl dead, isn\'t it? Erika was it?"
"Oh yes, I suppose we might simply have to set-up our next plan in motion." Said Sathan with an evil giggle. "Do not despair, my siblings. The grace of other Archdemons have blessed us already."
Although the defeat of Beelzebub was shocking, Sathan and the rest of the higher ups were far too greedy and uninterested for them to grieve for his defeat. They simply decided to move on and continue with what they were planning.
Sathan then showed the rest of the cult members glowing orbs of blue and purple color, overflowing with the powerful presences of two other Archdemons…
However, will this all go as they planned?

Meanwhile, within the Realm beyond Heaven, where the Holy Spirits inhabited, the Soul Projection of Blake appeared within its endless halls of brilliant white light. In front of him, the towering figures of the Holy Spirits glanced at him, as a large red jewel floated in midair.
"Thanks to your knowledge, we\'ve not only managed to defeat Beelzebub, but we were able to destroy his Tower and obtain a piece of his soul, which has now been refined into this item." Said the Holy Spirit of Light. "We are grateful of your help, Blake."
"His soul fragment was unwilling, but through the methods you taught us, we were able to utilize our powers correctly, and synthetized him into this crystal, a truly outstanding technique." Said the Holy Spirit of Nature.
"It is nothing much, it\'s what I had already planned." Blake said expressionless. "More importantly, were you able to learn anything from his memories?"
"Indeed, we\'ve gathered a large quantity of them." Said the Holy Spirit of Love. "Here, I\'ve prepared a little present with them for you."
FLASH!
A bright light reached Blake\'s Grimoire, fusing with it.
Ding!
[The Special Function: [Memory Encyclopedia] has been created.]
[You can now inspect and read in utmost detail the gathered memories of the Archdemon of Gluttony, Beelzebub.]
"Great. With this we\'ll be able to quickly learn the identities of the Cult Members and their hideouts and strike them down." Said Blake with a smile. "I would like to take that jewel as well, but I cannot handle its powers yet, so keep it for yourselves for now."
"Of course." The Holy Spirit of Light agreed. "More importantly, Blake… Was that a good idea?"
"What?" Blake asked.
"To declare war against the Demons? Won\'t they only get more furious?" Wondered the Holy Spirit of Water.
"I think that was rather passionate of you." The Holy Spirit of Love giggled.
"It is a strategy. I didn\'t do it exactly with just reckless selfishness." Said Blake. "We need to show off our power, if they underestimate us again, they\'ll simply begin attacking more and more. They need to at least fear us to an extent, especially all of you."
"That is… certainly quite the logic." Said the Holy Spirit of Earth. "Blake, did this mentality surged due to your previous life being constantly in the middle of many battles?"
"More or less, you all are too peaceful and neutral." Sighed Blake. "The very reason why your entire world is being invaded and in this state is because you don\'t fight back, you don\'t interact with these bastards. They see you as little and pathetic gods that can\'t do a single thing. However, you\'ve finally shown them you have the strength to actually stop them."
The Holy Spirits remained in silence after hearing Blake\'s words. They couldn\'t help but find his words to be right. Their existences had never faced this many challenges before, and they were unable to properly respond to the Archdemons invasions.
They blessed heroes, and did what they could like this, but through Blake, they\'ve discovered a more aggressive, and effective approach. They sighed, praising him and his friends.
"Perhaps you\'re right, maybe we needed to change… We needed to be more aggressive to protect the world we love and created." Said the Holy Spirit of Light. "Thank you, Blake. You\'ll have our utmost support."
"Indeed." The Holy Spirits said, nodding.
Blake smiled back at them, for him, it felt like he was teaching some very young gods how to actually be proper gods, governors, and authorities of their domain. It was hard, but they were learning.
"Then I\'ll be on my way, I need to wake up after all, I can\'t be sleeping all the time." Blake said.
"Before that, would it be possible for you to teach us some more?" Wondered one of the Holy Spirits. "Ah! Of course, we will give you proper rewards."
"Teach you? What?" Blake asked.
The Holy Spirits glanced at one another for a few seconds, until one of them spoke.
"How to act more intimidating… And sound strong."
"W-We… lack such talents."
"We were honestly surprised by how easy you were able to speak with him."
"I spoke as much as I could but I was honestly frozen…"
They were talking about when they confronted Lucifer.
Blake sighed, as long as they give him some rewards, he doesn\'t mind teaching them a thing or two.
"Fine. Well, as you saw then, you have to act confident, show them you\'re not someone that can be bullied. You\'re the one that bullies others."
