[Ding!!!]
[Congratulations, Mr. Sanguinius.]
[You have been selected to become a member of the dimensional discussion group.]
"I'm just a member... not the administrator?"
Sanguinius was happy to have a "system," but he couldn't help but frown as he observed the holographic panel in front of him.
In his past life, as Damien, he had already read several stories with dimensional discussion groups.
Yet, he couldn't remember a single protagonist who was merely a member, not an administrator of this kind of group.
[The false light of Baal has joined the chat...]
[The Guillotine: Oh, there's a new member.]
[Random soldier from Cadia: Baal? Does that name have a connection to my world?]
[I am just THE dragon: I hope you're not going to start screaming about heresy or xenos again.]
[I am just THE dragon: This time, I promise you a good lesson on the next mission.]
[Random soldier from Cadia: Damn xeno...]
[The Red Empress: Thanks for cutting short another frenzy from this fanatic.]
[I am just THE dragon: No problem, she annoys me too with her "Empress" stuff. No offense.]
[The Red Empress: No worries...]
[The Red Empress: Hey, newbie, are you planning to stay silent for long?]
[Leader of the gender equality cult (administrator): Damn, another one with a cool username...]
[Leader of the gender equality cult (administrator): I shouldn't have spent my hard-earned points to look for another member.]
[The man stuck in the Rocky Mountains: Stop complaining. I was tired of being the only guy with you.]
[Leader of the gender equality cult (administrator): But... Ryu-san, I thought we were like brothers!!]
[The man stuck in the Rocky Mountains: Brothers? You only call me to help you level up, you jerk. And you lied to me about the pseudo-goddess.]
Thanks to these exchanges, Sanguinius better understood the identity of the only two men in the group.
'The administrator must surely be Kazuma... but I'm not totally certain about the one stuck in the Rocky Mountains.'
Ryu Han-Bin.

The protagonist of a manhwa from his past life called: Survival Story of a Sword King in a Fantasy World.
A man who had survived alone for 22 years in mountains infested with monsters that evolved in power at the same time as him.
A true monster of willpower among the isekai protagonists that Damien had known.
'If it's really him, then he's probably the strongest in the group... or the one with the most potential.'
Sanguinius still remembers Ryu Han-Bin's master.
He was a man capable of approaching full divinity despite humanity's short life expectancy.
This memory sent an icy shiver down Sanguinius's spine, who now has a good understanding of divinity, unlike Damien at the time.
[The Red Empress: Are you really going to ignore me?]
Caught up in the argument between Kazuma and the one who could be Ryu Han-Bin, he had completely forgotten about the pseudo-empress.
[The false light of Baal: Sorry for taking so long to respond, but I'm not really in a situation where I can chat for long.]
At first, Sanguinius wanted to turn off the chat to focus on Azazel and his companions, but he changed his mind.
'I already intended to leave Grigori sooner or later, but thanks to the group chat, things can be moved forward.'
Thus, Azazel was no longer his priority.
He needed to establish good relationships with the current users of the group chat and obtain interesting or useful information for his progression.
[The Red Empress: Oh, are you in a delicate situation? If so, we can provide help.]
[Leader of the gender equality cult (administrator): Is your life in danger? ~]
Although Kazuma's words seemed to have a strange glow of expectation, Sanguinius decided to believe it was his imagination.
[The false light of Baal: No, but I just got literally kicked out of heaven and I'm surrounded by fanatics ready to launch a celestial war...]
[Leader of the gender equality cult (administrator): ... HAHAHA, you're more screwed than me!!!!]
[The Red Empress: ...]
[I am just THE dragon: ...]
[The man stuck in the Rocky Mountains: ...]
[The Guillotine: ...heeee HAAA]
[Random soldier from Cadia: HERESY!!!!!]
After Sanguinius's comments, each member of the discussion group had a unique reaction.
'I'm not surprised that Kazuma is making fun of me, but this "The Guillotine" seems to not appreciate holy things or things related to the heavens.'
Seeing that the conversation was embarrassed by Kazuma's antics, he decided to turn off the holographic discussion panel and explore it later.
"Lord Sanguinius..."
After returning his attention to the speeches, which didn't seem to have evolved much beyond motivating and reassuring the fallen angels.
a calm voice called Sanguinius from behind.
"What is it, Dohnaseek?"
Looking over his shoulder, Sanguinius glanced at his potential subordinate.
"No, nothing... it's just that your gaze seems lost."
"Is something bothering you in Lord Azazel's speech?"
Sanguinius raised an eyebrow after hearing Dohnaseek's words.
'I was too expressive in front of the dimensional chat panel, and now this guy thinks it's related to the fallen angels' situation...'
*sigh*
After letting out a slight sigh, Sanguinius faced Dohnaseek with a calm smile.
"Don't worry too much about me, Dohnaseek, I just have a feeling about the future of the fallen," he said, scratching his head, a casual gesture that didn't match the grace usually involuntarily displayed by his new body.
"What do you mean, a feeling?"
A 'little girl' blonde emerged from Dohnaseek's side, frowning.
Her name was Mittelt, a fallen angel who had followed Dohnaseek and him to this place.
"I think the current situation will push the fallen angels to reside in hell, as new neighbors of Lucifer."
To put it simply, Sanguinius had just declared to Mittelt that she was literally going to ally herself with the traitor, aka Lucifer.
It should be understood that angels arrived on Earth during the flood caused by the Biblical God and other gods, to reset civilization and erase embarrassing things.
Thus, Earth is not currently a habitable place for fallen angels.
'The reason Azazel is currently inflaming the fighting spirit of the fallen is to ask them to tolerate the "humiliation" of going to hell or the underworld.'
For entities as noble or formerly noble as fallen angels, this option is an unthinkable idea... at least under normal circumstances.
Currently, fallen angels have neither home nor allies.
'The enemy of my enemy is my friend.'
This logic pushes or will push Azazel towards Lucifer, for temporary cooperation.
'I say this, but honestly, I don't care.'
He just didn't want to seem weird in the eyes of his potential subordinates because of his blunder due to the system panel.
"Bu... but that's awful."
The blonde loli seemed to take this news badly, but Dohnaseek adopted a thoughtful pose and glanced a few times at Azazel, surrounded by Kokabiel, Barakiel, and Shemhazai.
"Yes, but well..."
Sanguinius let out a simulated sad sigh before adopting a resolute air.
"I plan to play along... for now."
A small gleam of cunning shone in Sanguinius's golden eyes, which didn't escape the little loli in front of him.
'I see... this man has no more chains and doesn't plan to accept others.'
The little fallen angel unconsciously stopped panicking after listening to Sanguinius's words.
She glanced around, before having a self-mocking smile on her cute face.
'When did he set up this sound barrier?!'
He was surrounded by a sound barrier, and Sanguinius had apparently created it during the conversation.
