[ WP ] Smouldering hat in hand , the Devil has come to the one person who is more versed in corruption of humanity than him . And it 's a real shock to learn it 's YOU .

`` While I am flattered, enough Gods hate me as it is, I've got enough divine favor too, before you start your little spiel about being just another God.'' The devil before me, as far as I can tell, is the same angelic demon I researched after the whole 7 demon lords ordeal. `` You know why so many gods hate you? Its because you have n't picked a side. 2 huge factions, and you take 2 Gods whose only actions were to make sure they existed in the first place, and then practically start crusading with them!'' 
 
 Thankfully, he seems to be staying out of my mind, though I doubt that he has the slightest bit of respect for me. `` If I see one of you, or one of your enemies, trying to help my cause, they will be welcomed, then put to work.'' He smirks at that, and I ca n't say I blame him. 
 
 `` I ca n't Imagine why you'd even want me to run your empire in the first place,'' I say, more to myself than him. `` Are you joking? You, a human, a mortal, a teenager, made 2 Gods, whose previous actions I could count on one hand, start gallivanting though the universe cheering up nobodies and making their worlds a better place? If you put your mind to it, you could end this stupid war before the end of your life time!'' 
 
 Shock appears on my face, and I can only mutter a weak response, `` and you want to be on the winning side?'' He continues as though he did n't hear me, `` All the suffering in the world, exists because The Big Guys Upstairs ca n't see reason, so pick a side, the RIGHT side, and make the world a better place.'' As the shock fades, I realize how to get him to go away, and let me get back to fixing exactly what he's complaining about. `` I am in the unique position to chose what is Right, and have others, even Gods, follow me. That is not something I am going to waste, and not a decision I will make in a day. Let me think, and eventually I'll pick a side.'' 
 
 The puff of smoke tells me my plan worked. No need to tell them, I picked my own side a long time ago.
