Raziel laughs his ass loud in the table and replies; "True! That could be legimitate theory but there is factors to consider in that idea; Mephistoteles has worked CENTURIES to off-seat Asmodeus and it is widely known in hell he hungers throne of hell for himself. He cannot get it if he leaves the perdition all together and so far my planar knowlegde goes, he is not quiter. Plus why would Hell attack if they are at their weakest state?<br/><br/>Also where the other power guy would had comed from and besides Mephistoteles haves history for 'disappearing' when great things are on afoot to bluff enemies chase ghosts. He after all made a flase entity and falsed his own fall or disappearance to root out traitors from his ranks. So reason for his absence are many but shall we dare poke his realm to figure out is he home or not? Do not forget he guards the gate to Asmodeus layer, so I doubt Asmodeus would allow him leave and would more likely freeze him like he had doned so whit Leviathan."
