Despite being a machine with a soul, Hayley was tired. Working in the basement and keeping track of leftover souls was no easy task, especially since Asmodia was making contracts with countless people around the world and adding more souls to her stack. For the most part, the souls were to be left for her consumption, but the primordial devil reigning over the third hell was no longer fond of human souls ever since Athenia had made a pact with her.
The seductress, known to lie with goddesses, had no use for a mortal soul anymore. Sure, it could give her power, but was it even worth swallowing the soul of every sinner that was no more powerful than an aged farmer? She wasn't going to sow seeds in a field, nor did she need the ability to wake up with an aching back. Or at least those were the excuses she used on herself, because in the end, power to her no longer mattered.
"Haaa~"
