[3rd POV]
Sitting upon the throne of the Great King, Morgan knew from the reactions of the others that this would cause some huge changes in the Underworld. Both in good ways, and in some bad ways.
The Great King was publically known as the man that basically ran the underworld, and had practically been viewed as superior to the four Satan's thanks to his political connections. But without them, he couldn't compare at all.
But Morgan? She was vastly superior in every facet. Strength, wealth, political power, peerage, everything. She was so vastly superior that she wasn't going to just seen as a political head, but THE head.
The King of the Underworld.
That is what she had just knowingly become. And the four Satan's? They all just nodded in acceptance, and the allies of hers all did too. For they all knew that she was going to do this regardless of if they wanted her to or not, and they knew that none of them could stop her.
Not that they wanted to.
They had been severely lacking a proper leader, a proper figurehead that could properly and safely run the underworld, similar to God had with Heaven. Now that they had that person, the four Satans were confident that they were going to face unprecedented growth, never seen before.
And it would be because of the New Great King, Morgan Zagan.
"So, are there any complaints regarding me taking over the position of the now deceased Zekram Bael? If so, do bring them up now, I'd hate to waste my time later on" Morgan asked bluntly, looking over the other lords in the room.
All of her allies had kept silent or just smirked at her, pleased that she of all people had been chosen. While other lords glanced at one another, wondering if anyone would actually have the gall to speak up against the most powerful woman in the Underworld.
None did.
Seeing that nobody had spoken up, Morgan smiled "Good! With that in mind, you'll find papers in front of you. These are new inventions that my stores shall be selling. Including greater healing potions, stronger scrolls, several demonic blades superior to any other on the market besides the ancient ones, as well as teachings on how to increase the demonic energy of the user" Morgan informed, as they all began to look over the paper.
The explanations and descriptions of the new inventions were very in depth, and showed just how incredible some of them truly were. Most notably the demonic weapons, and the better potions. Both could be a huge boon to their people.
There were also pages filled with information on new infrastructure, tax changes, improvements that can be made to cities, potential rule changes for the making of peerages and rating games. All in all, there were quite a lot of changes, but...
They had to admit that a lot of them truly were excellent ideas. Ones that some of them couldn't help but kick themselves for not thinking of sooner. These ideas would genuinely improve the Underworld, and even if they didn't they doubted they could do much about it.
She was basically their ruler now, even if it wasn't truly put that way.
"I'm glad to see that all of you are liking my ideas" Morgan said in amusement, noticing the genuine excitement on many of their faces, as it would not only make them a shit ton of money, but it would also massively strengthen most of the Underworld, making them even stronger than they are now.
Basically, everything they could want.
"It...I must admit that these ideas are incredible, my lord. I-I apologize for reaction before" One of the Lords said, genuinely apologetic as he realized the boons that she might actually bring them.
Boons surpassing even that of the previous Great King, and by a vast margin if these ideas truly came to fruition.
"Apology accepted. I won't hold it to any of you, as I know for a fact that none of those in this room were involved in the actions of Zekram Bael. And most of you were actually blackmailed by the man, I just ask that you do not cause too much trouble for me, and trust the process" Morgan said, as they all nodded in acceptance, causing her to smile.
"Excellent! Now, let's begin with the next topic of the meeting today"

Later Morgan had finally returned home after a long meeting, which included the talks regarding the slaughter and defeat of the Old Satan faction, the fact that the Bael family would now be passing onto Sairaorg, due to him being the heir and his father being killed by her when he attempted to stop her.
She had to call in Sairaorg and explain what had happened, but the man was...not at all angry. His father was a monster of a person, and deserved to die. So he felt absolutely no sadness for the man, no instead he was happy that the one who made his mother suffer was finally dead, alongside Zekram.
She also had to speak with several other heirs who would now by taking over their family. Some of them were...not pleased, but most of them were actually quite happy. As it turns out that most of the men that worked with the old Satan faction or Zekram, were fucked up devils that nobody really liked.
Not at all shocking.
Walking into her mansion, she was greeted by a bone crushing hug, as Tiamat wrapped her in a tight hug.
"What the hell were you doing going off without us!?" Tiamat yelled, genuinely fearing what could have happened to her beloved master, her mate. The one she cared for more than anything else in the entire world.
"I was thinking that Zekram Bael needed to die, and I could not wait any longer. I am sorry for making all of you worry, but I could not afford to push it off. If I had, the man would have gotten away and would have been next to impossible for me to find" Morgan responded calmly.
She understood their worry and anger, but she also knew that her decision had been the right one. The only one that would have worked at that moment. Because the man had a lot of connections, and if he attempted to flee, she was absolutely certain that Rizevim would have picked him up, which would have made things a lot more dangerous for the future.
"...I understand that, but...but we can't help but worry about you, Morgan" Grayfia said on the side, an equally as concerned look on her face. She understood the action, but she still didn't like it.
"...I'm sorry for worrying all of you, truly. But you don't need to worry any longer, seriously. Nobody in the Underworld is a threat to me any longer, both politically and in terms of power" Morgan responded with a smile, as Grayfia breathed out.
"So you did it? You became the Great King? You took over that monstrous old man's place?" Grayfia asked, as Morgan smirked.
"I did. From now on nobody in this family will EVER have to worry about any of the other clans ever again. For I am now the most powerful person in the Underworld, hell, I am basically it's King at this point. If I wanted, I could make it official, but I won't...At least not yet" Morgan responded, as Grayfia and the rest of the peerage beamed, happy to hear that their master's goal had been accomplished.
That she was now the ruler of the Underworld.
With her explanation of her actions finished, and the reveal that she was now the Great King done, Morgan was ready to hang out with her peerage after a long and hard day. But, that was cut off, as she heard a knock on her door, a soft one. Blinking at the knock, she looked behind her in confusion.
Her mansion was out of the way, and had all sorts of wards around it. Wards so strong that it would take someone notably more powerful than her to break through.
And someone had.
Glancing at her confused Peerage, she slowly walked forward and opened the door, only to slowly look down, her eyes widening as she stared at the shorter figure in front of her.
"You are strong. You will help me defeat Baka-red" The monotone voice of the petite figure in front of her spoke. That figure belonging to the second most powerful being in this universe, the being known as...
Ophis Ouroboros

And now she is not only officially the Great King, but has met one of the last harem members she will be getting in this universe, Ophis! Ophis will be obtaining a mature form of course, but she'll be remaining in her petite one most of the time. Hopefully that's not a problem.
