In a dungeon where the king of dragons, Bahamut, was trapped, someone was visiting him. Naturally, it was Lord Thanos who came to give his report.
[So you didn't manage to find the one I asked you to find?] Bahamut asked Lord Thanos, kneeling on the ground, and the latter lowered his head.
''Unfortunately, we couldn't find anything. I'm ashamed of my incompetence.'' Lord Thanos explained while waiting for punishment.
However, Bahamut only snorted and did nothing else.
[It seems like that foolish child Lucifer died like predicted. What did that former goddess do?] He switched the subject.
Lord Thanos, who was expecting a punishment, was disappointed, but he quickly concealed this before answering.
''She is probably preparing to become the next ruler. It's hard to infiltrate the empire right now; all our spies have been killed.''
I was laughing my ass off while writing this chapter, especially the last sentence.
