Within the Main Hangar of the Fortress Bastion, the Former Chief and Regina found themselves waiting in line along with other Daemon Beast Leaders. The Grim Tiger Guards stood right beside them as Regina looked at the Daemon Beast Leaders in line. Due to the Gigantic Territory of the Occidental Region, it was hard for Regina to see anything other than a small amount of Daemon Beast Species. 

"Wow, I can't believe I'm seeing such Daemon Beasts standing in front of me." Regina quietly uttered as she was amazed at the strange complexion of some Daemon Beasts. She had already expected such a thing, but it was still surprising for her to see it personally. 

Meanwhile, the Former Chief of the Grim Tigers calmly stood right beside Regina and gazed upon the Daemon Beast Leaders. He could sense a lot of Daemon Beast with equal strength as him. Some were even a lot stronger. The Daemon Beast Leaders lining up were his realization about the organizational power of the Force behind Luna. 

'All of them are strong, I have heard about some of them, but it seems that a lot of them are very far away from the Grim Tiger's Lair. It is quite understandable though the numbers of the Daemon Beast Leaders are lower than what I had expected.'

He thought as he looked at his daughter, who had an excited expression. He sighed and released a slight smile. In the end, this was his daughter's challenge and choice. The Grim Tiger's Future was dependent on her. He has been guiding his daughter for years and was sure that it was also time for her to be free.

Regina, on the other hand, was cautious when staring at the Daemon Beast Leaders. Despite being excited, she wasn't as naive as her father thought she was. She wasn't someone who didn't know of the world. With enough information, she could turn it into a puzzle and understand the situation after completing it. 

'Lions? Their Skins and Fur are Blue and Yellow. Completely different from the Lions I saw in my past. Not only that, they are two times larger than normal lions. The biggest one is probably Five times, and he must be the leader. I wonder what their name is?'

Regina had several thoughts about the Strange Lions. Such Lions were known as Thunder Lions, they normally live in the Tallest Mountains, so it was normal for Regina to have not seen any Thunder Lions in her lifetime. The Thunder Lions were strong and had good aptitude with Thunder. They were the Apex of their Mountains. 

The Thunder Lions weren't the only thing Regina had seen. She saw Sky Stallions, which highly resembled Horses. The only difference was their Massive Wings and their Pure White Color. They also looked very beautiful and had a good aptitude in the heavens. As normal Daemon Beast, they were larger than normal. 

But, Regina was sure that Stallions meant Male Horses. How would the Sky Stallions reproduce? Well, such a question got answered as Regina saw a Unicorn for the first time. The Unicorn looked beautiful as its mane was silky and smooth. It seems that the Sky Stallions and Unicorn were one close species. 

Anyway, other than Daemon Horses, Regina saw the Forest Bull, Magma Panthers, Fluffy Sheep, Barbaric Goat, and Tempest Griffins. The Main Hangar of the Fortress Bastion was full of amazing Daemon Beast. Regina would always look at them cautiously, not to alert them. Fortunately, she was a Grim Tiger, and she had already known how to hide while staring at something.

While staring at the Daemon Beast Leaders, Regina heard a whisper on her ears which caused massive amounts of chill to echo within her spines. She instantly turned her head towards the whisper and saw Old Sis Luna smiling at her. Regina pouted and spoke with an annoyed tone. 

"I can't believe that you freaked me out, Old Sis Luna." 

"Hehehe, I simply wanted to scare you." Luna smiled as Regina continued pouting. Before the two of them could continue their time together, an Inquisitor stood in front of the line and spoke towards the Daemon Beast Leaders with a calm voice. 

"Now that all of the Daemon Beast Leaders have gathered. Why don't we check the Daemon Beast Races that decided to join us?" 

The Daemon Beast Leaders nodded in agreement as the Inquisitor took out a Futuristic Tablet. Gazing through the Tablet, the Inquisitor began checking the Daemon Beast Races within the Main Hangar. Despite the Daemon Beast Leaders not deciding whether to join the Nation of Azathoth or not, their presence was a good sign of respect. 

"The First are the Tempest Griffins, Forest Bulls, Unicorns, Sky Stallions, Almeraj, Occidental Giants, Terran Boars, Aldera Treants, Driads, Magma Panthers, Fluffy Sheep, Barbaric Goat, and finally the Grim Tigers."

After reporting the presence of the Daemon Beast Leaders, the Daemon Beast Leaders started looking at each other as they had heard the names of the Daemon Beasts around them. Since the Daemon Beasts didn't introduce themselves to each other, the report of the Inquisitor indirectly introduced the Daemon Beasts to each other. 

The Inquisitor looked at the Daemon Beast Leaders with a Serious expression. The Numbers weren't within the acceptable percentage. The Governor Inquisitors furrowed their eyebrows along with the other Inquisitors. The Daemon Beast Leaders felt danger creeping in, which resulted in them looking at the Inquisitors. 

"We have to report to the Master that the Operation was a Huge failure. Amongst the Daemon Beasts within the Recruitment List, only 40% joined the Inquisitors to meet with the Master." The words of the Inquisitor echoed. Despite already knowing the result of the Operation, the Inquisitors felt a heavy pressure within their hearts. 

The Governor Inquisitors then walked to the front and stood with their dominating auras. The Inquisitors looked at them as Capita spoke with her monotone voice. "There is no need to worry about the Failure of the Operation. We will report this to Master and wait for further orders." 

The Inquisitors nodded and saluted towards Capita. The Heavy Pressure within their hearts calmed down. A Gigantic Metallic Door slid open, and a single figure revealed herself to the Inquisitor. The Inquisitors froze on the spot as they saw Ego walking towards them. Ego arrived in front of the Inquisitors and asked.

"Was the mission successful?" 

Ego was looking at Capita with her emotionless expression. Capita slightly bowed towards Ego and reported the Status of the Operation. "Teacher Ego, The Operation failed. Only 40% joined the Inquisitors. 60% of them are hostile and tried to attack and eat our Inquisitors."

"Hmm... I see... that is rather disappointing, but I guess there is nothing we could do about it." Ego nodded in understanding and walked back to the Gargantuan Metallic Door. Before passing through it, she looked towards the Inquisitors and Daemon Beast Leaders and spoke.

"Follow me. It's time for all of you to meet my Master." 

The Inquisitors nodded as they walked right behind Ego. The Daemon Beast Leaders followed the Inquisitors. The Daemon Beast Leaders were still in a state of disbelief. The Inquisitors, who they considered as very strong, were treated as simple soldiers within the Nation of Azathoth. The Lady with the Dark Ashened Hair walking in front of them must have been very strong. 

While walking through the hallway, Regina couldn't help but get reminded of a Demon Lord Castle. Despite looking futuristic, it looked ominous. Was the Master of Luna an Evil Demon Lord? Such was the question that kept echoing within the Mind of Regina. 

'But still, I can't believe that someone as strong as Old Sis Luna is acting like a puppy towards that Lady called Ego. Was she very strong?' Regina questioned. Her question then got answered with a strange voice that echoed within her head. 

'Of course, she is strong. She is the Sister of the Master.'

'Eh? Old Sis Marx, is that you?' Regina questioned as she was sure that the way the Strange Voice talked highly remebled the talking style of Old Sis Marx. 

'Hehehe, It seems that I got easily found it.'

'Anyway, Old Sis Marx. Can you tell me more about, Ego?' Regina asked as she was curious about Ego. Marx then answered Regina's question with an aloof tone. 

'There is no need to hear about her from me. After all, she must have been tapping through this network the moment I connected with you.'

'W-what?' Regina got confused and slowly realized what Marx meant. She then looked at Ego, who was walking at the front and noticed her sighing. Regina couldn't help but feel like a kid who got caught doing bad things. She was a bit nervous about what Ego would do to her.

'No need to worry, Regina. If you're lucky, you can get by with a simple loss of limb.' Marx said while slightly chuckling.

'Marx, stop trying to scare her.' Luna said within her mind. She couldn't believe that Marx was trying to scare a kid. 

Hearing the two of them, Regina believe the words of Marx. Lady Ego must have heard what they were talking about. 

It took time, but the Daemon Beast Leaders and the Inquisitors have finally arrived at the door of the Throne Room. The door slowly opened and revealed the Gargantuan Demon Lord Throne Room. The Aura of the Throne Room was enough to make them sick. The Inquisitors entered the Throne Room while the Daemon Beast Leaders unwillingly entered.

The Daemon Beast Leaders looked at the throne and saw a Young Lady sitting in the Throne Room. Despite looking like a Fragile one, the Daemon Beast Leaders felt as if they were looking at some Primordial Deity. 

The Great Ruler of Azathoth then smiled and introduced the Daemon Beast Leaders to the Nation of Azathoth.

"Welcome, to the Nation of Azathoth."
