While Thirteen was busy clearing out the Wenpolis Stronghold, Camazotz and Kamrusepa were chatting with Metatron.

"That is a mean trick you pulled over our boy, Thirteen," Camazotz said in disappointment. "Although you said that you will allow him to capture monsters, you just have to set that very hard condition."

"Very hard condition?" Metatron arched an eyebrow. "What do you mean 'very hard condition'?"

"You know what I'm talking about," Camazotz replied. "You set a condition that he can only capture monsters he defeated with only Tiona and his schemes.

"If he defeats the monster with the help of his Parade of a Hundred Demons, then it won't count. Just what kind of bullsh*t is that? It's part of his strength, so why are you not allowing him to use it?"

"I have my reasons," Metatron answered. "But you look down on Thirteen so much. Even without it, I'm sure that the boy can come up with something. Unlike you, he is a very smart person."

Camazotz snorted because Metatron indirectly said that he wasn't smart like Zion.

Of course, the Death Bat had already known and acknowledged this fact, but that wasn't even the issue right now. He wanted Thirteen to become strong so that their Trinity would be the strongest faction in the Order of the Apocalypse.

There were currently four factions within the order, and their Trinity was the latest Faction formed.

Kamrusepa was their strongest and most influential member.

Even the other members of the Order of the Apocalypse would often approach her for favors due to her power as a Seer and an Oracle.

All the three other factions had tried inviting her to their faction, but she declined each time.

This was why when Kamrusepa decided to team up with Camatoz and Thirteen, the other members of the Apocalypse thought that she was just playing around with the two weakest members of their organization.

"Still, you should at least let him use the Divine Artifact," Camazotz insisted. "Am I right, Kamrusepa?"

But to his surprise, the Majin Princess of Prophecy didn't side with him this time.

"I agree with Metatron on this one," Kamrusepa said. "Knowing Thirteen, he will just force himself to fight an opponent stronger than him again. He only got lucky this time because his subordinates are able to fend off the Goblin Army, preventing them from helping their Emperor.

"But if even one of them had managed to get past their defenses, Thirteen would have been in danger because he put all of his attention into fighting the Goblin Emperor. He doesn't have enough leeway to deal with unexpected variables."

Metatron nodded. "As expected. Smart people get it easily."

Camazotz blinked once then twice before glaring at the traitor, who didn't side with him.

"Don't worry, Camazotz." Kamrusepa smiled faintly. "Thirteen will be able to do it. He's someone who will go above, and beyond to achieve his goals. What makes you think that he is not capable of defeating a Rank 8 Sovereign with only his wits?

"Did you perhaps forget that he is the one who defeated Arundel? Back then, he didn't have the Parade of a Hundred Demons. All he needs is time and a strategy. As long as these conditions are met, it's not impossible to defeat a Rank 8 Monster and above."

Camazotz couldn't refute the Majin Princess' words because Thirteen wouldn't have become a member of the Order if he didn't defeat one of its members.

Since the teenage boy had managed to do it when he was still seven years old, what was stopping him from doing the same thing now that he was stronger and older?

"For now, you should focus on yourself, Camazotz," Metatron chided. "Although Thirteen is the weakest member of the Order of the Apocalypse right now, you are the second weakest member."

"Hahaha! That is old news, Metatron." Camazotz chuckled. "In the past, I was indeed the weakest. But now? Hmph! You can pick any member of the Order except Kamrusepa and Beelzebub, and I can beat the crap out of them hands down."

"… You're only confident now because you have that Armor that you got from the Artemians." Metatron commented. "Without it, you're just a stupid Death Bat."

"But I have it." Camazotz smirked. "And since I have it, do you think I'm still the old Death Bat second only to Arundel? You should change the Rankings, Metatron. Right now, I am the third strongest member of our organization."

Kamrusepa opened her fan and covered her lips. If she didn't, she might not be able to stop herself from laughing out loud.

She agreed that without the armor, Camazotz was their second weakest member. But since he had it, he was no longer someone who could easily be defeated.

The Death Bat had even subdued his neighbors and made them subservient to him, expanding his domain after he returned from helping Thirteen in the Arcadia Archipelago.

"Relying on external things doesn't make someone stronger, Camazotz," Metatron said with a smile. "You should take Thirteen as your role model. He is a very interesting character."

"Um? Did you forget that he also asked for external help against the Artemians?" Camazotz replied. "I and Kamrusepa went out of our way to help his sorry bum back then, or did you forget it?"

"You using external help and Thirteen using external help are two different things, Camazotz."

"Double standards much? The discrimination is real."

"It is indeed discrimination. But what can you do about it? You want to fight? Bring it on!"

This time, Kamrusepa wasn't able to stop the giggle that escaped her lips after she heard the banter between Metatron and Camazotz.

Clearly, Metatron was giving Thirteen special treatment and rubbing it on Camazotz's face.

Simply put, the God of the Order of the Apocalypse had more faith in the teenage boy than the Death Bat, who was notorious for bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

'Still, I can't wait until Thirteen becomes a bit stronger,' Kamrusepa thought. 'It might take some time, but with him as our leader, I'm sure that things will get more interesting in the future.'

The Majin Princess of Prophecy then glanced at the projection that showed Thirteen walking in the direction where Tiona's clone was killed and preparing himself for battle.
