After Flora finally decided to step back and stop being so hostile over my new demon friendship, I told her about the Demon Towers and showed her the Totems too.

"So they're technically dungeons that connect to Hell? Ugh they're horrible…" she had said at first.

After that I asked her over places with a lot of energy.

"A place with lots of energy?" asked Flora.

"Yes, I need a lot of energy-rich areas." I said.

"But how does this exactly work, Kireina? You summon the demonic towers?" asked Aura.

"No, no, not exactly like that, I plant them in a rich place, and they absorb the energy, any energy, and convert it into demonic energy, after that they'll begin to grow bigger and bigger until they surpass the sky… at that point they're ready and can open portals to bring strong demons. Mammon said that I can use Hell Points to employ powerful Archdemons to our assistance. If we can get some of the Goetia in our side, we could realistically go against the Undead Army of Supreme God-level guys that are with Hel." I said.

"I see… I guess it would be useful to defeat those skeleton bastards once and for all… They're in the way from reaching Hel after all." Said Flora.

"Using Demons to kill Undead sounds interesting! Well, my troops are plenty strong too! Even if they are not supreme god-level, they got their ways." Said Aura with a smile. He seemed confident on his pantheon. Jupiter was indeed a powerful Great God.

"Heh, my daughters and the rest of my children are also formidable! Don't think that I will rely on those pesky demons for everything. With my blessings, my family is unstoppable." Said Flora.

"I can say the same thing!" I said with a smile, Rimuru nodded a lot.

"Now, now, let's not get carried away…" said Aura.

"For now, let me help you. I've mapped most of this world after the Ragnarök, so I know of some good spots where they won't bother their growth. You know about Higher Realms, right, Kireina?" asked Flora.

"I do, they're Realms where many gods died on there and they changed and became like giant divine realms?" I asked.

"Yes, quite literally, they're divine realms but outside. These places also have World Dungeons, which are challenging even for Great Gods, well, not for us. Anyways, these places are good spots to grow Demonic Towers… Although many of us treat them as graveyards for fallen comrades, I guess that doesn't matter so much at this point." Said Flora.

"Hm, as long as you can bring me there, I can memorize the place and later on teleport there myself." I said.

"I see. So you can even do such a thing. I do have teleporting magic as well, but it takes me time, let me do it in a day from now." Said Flora.

"Thanks, Flora." I said.

"But if they end up betraying us, you're swallowing them all, also the towers!" said Flora.

"Ugh, they're not going to betray us…" I sighed.

And its not as if it were a torture to eat stuff, I do that all day.

We moved swiftly into another topic, the topic regarding Hel itself.

"Hel is preparing to fight you, Kireina. The skeletons are coming in more quantities now, and it seems that the world's will is doing nothing against it. I fear she might had allied them just so she can kill you." Said Aura.

"She's really going to ally some aliens from another dimension to kill me? Just how insane is my sister?" I sighed.

"Well she's insane, that's for sure. If we manage to escape the world will lose balance and be destroyed, which will damage her a lot… Might kill her. This is a big reason why she wants to just kill you first, after all you're still the root of all problems, your Chaotic Era was what allowed Hel to become a Supreme Goddess by unintentionally opening rifts in space leading to the Netherworld Plane." Said Flora.

"Yeah in a way she's right, its all your fault, Kireina, you're the root." Said Aura.

"Uagh! Don't be like that." I sighed.

"We are praising you, I thought you liked to be called evil now that you're a demon." Said Flora.

"That's not how it works!" I said.

"Nonetheless, it is good that you're the root of evil because that's what we needed to escape this world which is a prison to us and our development. You know very well how there are many other Realms above Supreme Gods, right? But we cannot properly advance further because we are confined here… The vast Outer Universe is dangerous, but we'll be able to find many opportunities to continue growing stronger." Said Aura.

"Yeah, but what's the point of wanting to grow so strong after becoming the top dog here? Wouldn't it be better to stay here and relax?" asked Ova.

"Foolish daughter, you don't understand how things are, right? Nothing will always stay the same, the Universe is on a race by itself, an Apocalypse is coming, if we don't want to have the entire part of this Galaxy where we are residing swallowed by this Apocalypse, we have to quickly grow stronger." Said Flora.

"We have to reach the Realms even above Supreme God and become beings above worlds, stars, galaxies… We must reach the top fast if we want to survive and also let those we love survive as well." Said Aura.

"Apocalypse? What are you talking about?" I asked.

"You don't know the bigger picture already… Funnily enough the Primordial Deities themselves are in fault of it, and well, you, Kireina got the whole task of rescuing your mother, right? The Overseers see this entire universe as a mere little snack, at any moment, we can all get devoured… My daughter, there are so many dangers out there that not growing stronger would be considered foolish." Said Flora.

"…I see. Ugh, I am overwhelmed. Oh well, I've lived pretty long too so I can understand." Said Ova.

"It is indeed a bit overwhelming." I said.
