It has been a few years when the exchange program on RAD happened. RAD = ( ROYAL ACADEMY OF DIAVOLO )
Mammon experienced some troubles when that program was happening but, that time was heaven for him... he got a safe place to be with.
He met few angels that he was acquainted before falling.
The familiar face was nostalgic, He then Greeted Simeon but was interrupted by a small Angel? He was with Simeon apparently, He was quite Jealous at first but soon he got over it when That Kid Angel Luke or he calls him chihuahua sometimes... Get along pretty well.
Along with Simeon and Luke he met a sorcerer who was in Devildom first but was very creepy, suspicious and mysterious.. but when he showed himself, He is pretty fun.
Although he made a pact with his brother Asmodeus.
he was being honest when he was feeling better and fun when he arrived at Purgatory Hall unlike in the House of Lamentation ( H.O.L ) the PH was more of a safe environment for him... He was vulnerable and easy to break after the insults he took from his brothers and the way people talks about him.
Even the rumors was as bad as when he first got the feeling of humiliation when he got the Greed demon seal when it was left untouched for a few hundred years when he fell.
The GREED demon attaches themselves to " Someone so Greedy and a scum " which is the opposite of Mammon. The Greed demon wanted a dark soul... but that Golden soul will purify all dark in devildom in order to prevent that.. they took possession of Mammon quite a while.
In that time, his life was hell... the demon he got entitled with made his ego burst high.. He was prideful unlike back then.
====================
When the program finished most of the HOL members went and did their own business which left Mammon all alone again.
He started to communicate with them but their response was.. " We all hang out with each other because of MC not because we wanted to " It hurt his feelings but he brushed it off... He started wondering if He was somewhat like MC would they like him more now or they would just ignore him like they all do...
He then started acting like MC, but they all think It was weird and he was trying to get attention like a child.
__________________________
He started loosing hope so he wandered off then he found himself in the slums.
Then something sparked, He got an Idea.

-------------------------------------
That song is a Million Dreams from the greatest showman. Mammon is singing it while leading the civilians to the undergrounds and building civilization.
===============================
Months have passed since Mammon built an empire although It wasn't finished.. some people was able to have a home.
Mammon gave them Money or Grimm, Gave them clothes and food.
--
When the civilians were building the town bigger than devildom their exhaustion and lack of food was a torture and Mammon came and aided them with tons of food.
Kids got a safe and warm environment to live in.
This place is Heaven. It was peaceful.. The Adults were well behaved and the Kids were taught or was well disciplined by the adults, and they perfected the environment by making it clean and safe and of course people follows the law.
( Never go out of the City, they can go to devildom but Don't wander to far underground. Don't cause trouble, Always help, be giving )
The praises Mammon gets was enough to satisfy his Greed as well as Money satisfy him.
There was no problem as Mammon is filled with Riches, It was Raining Golds and Diamonds.
===================================================================
The underground City was unnoticed for a few months.
the miners went too far on exploring and found a light in the depths of darkness. And found a City, filled with Riches.
They couldn't just leave it alone, They were being greedy. They wanted to make the riches theirs, Their popularity to grow.
Many Demons heard about this place and tried to find the entrance or an opening to get inside, but no matter where they couldn't find it.
They tried going to the mines in groups and breaking in the city that was so Peaceful... But no matter what the couldn't enter.
It reached Diavolo and He was surprised by the City that was discovered below them.
He sent out the brothers to Investigate.
But The walls have ears and Celestia was curious.
They sent out An Angel, A spectral Angel that could see the Soul of one another. Celestia do hope to find the Golden Soul... which is in Mammon.
Luke knew that the mission was important and has to lay low... But Hearing about the mission to retrieve the Golden soul, which he knew who and where, He can't help but think... " Can I do it? " thought flooded his brain as he couldn't think straight at all, But he gathered up the courage and accepted the trusted mission upon him.
===================================================================================================
Hearing about the Gossip Mammon started suspecting the outside territory, He knew if we hadn't had the barrier our Peace would be broken instantly... Knowing the People from Devildom are quite selfish and Greedy, They want power... A city without a ruler would give them a chance on enslaving his people so then, He marched off and told his subordinates to protect the City at all cost.
He then, walked towards to Kim Miru, and Asked her to be in command while he is gone.
Create a Barrier and Protect the City and this house. Protect the Empire, Protect our territory. IT IS OURS.
Mammon made it Clear to the People and his subordinates that He would rather die than let his Empire Go... So he would embark on a journey to protect the hidden flaws in the City.
He treats everyone Equally and that is why people loves him, supports him... they are all grateful.

Where Is mammon - Lucifer asked The brothers.
I'm Afraid I don't know, Why are you even asking me?! - Satan said in a pissed voice. It made Lucifer Frown.
If you don't know why Answer? - Lucifer said in a exaggerated tone.
You... YOU OLD- = Satan said before getting Interrupted. " Now Now, You can't fight infront of the beauty, It will give me stress and wrinkles. " - Asmodeus claimed.
What? Mammon has been gone for a 3 months yk. If you aren't being a Normy you could've known - Levi proclaimed.
*Yawn* why are you fighting this early? Mammon just might be sleeping somewhere. - Belphie said while half asleep.
Mammon is just probably eating. - Beel claimed. " I saw him this morning eating " - Beel said while munching on a cheesy toast.
___________________________
The brothers were fighting while Mammon is up in the second floor quietly spying on them... while eating. Their fighting got worse and he could notice the Belphie was having a hard time so He then decided to show up.
What the hell are you fighting for? - Mammon exclaimed suddenly appearing.
AHH! You ruined my lips! - Asmodeus said while reapplying his lipstick.
So you decided to show yourself? - Lucifer, Satan and Levi said at the same exact time.
Can't believe I said something with you. - Satan said feeling disgusted.
What? I was sleeping? Should've believed belphie If I were you. And that is right, I also ate last night. - Mammon said.
See I told you *munch* *choke* *cough* Wa- = Beel said while having a hard time.. " Here you go. " - Mammon hurriedly gave the water to his choking brother.
---------------------------
After resolving the problem the brothers were in Peace.
They spoke about the mission, Mammon didn't express any emotions towards it... But he knew what may cost him if he told them.
he then went back to his Empire and ordered Kim Miru to give away Food for the citizens and let them know the entire situation but make them all be calm in case if they panic.
Mammon then noticed the shortage of Water in his empire, So he sent out missionaries to go to the vast of mines and go beyond, look for a source of Water.
Mammon then gave them a piece of ribbon. A white one. " This signify peace and safety. Be safe on your travels. " - Mammon greeted them farewell.
================================
tsk, I can't believe I have to go there again. Again with filthy demons. - Luke
___________
Luke still didn't know about the place and how people are here so he packed his stuff and got a brand new notebook. He plans to write everything and give it to Michael and give it to the higher ups.
Luke then starts on his journey and he saw A big City filled with riches, at first he was amazed but... Celestia is more free and much bigger as the sun hits them.. although its very bright. He was mesmerized but he snapped out of it.
He then took notes.
He stopped writing and closed the book, He started to walk slowly but he was greeted with well dressed people and they welcomed him nicely.
Gave him good trips and told him to follow the rules, or he will be speaking directly to the Emperor which is Mammon.
Luke is a Good kid, while his stay, he slept in a tavern for a cozy first night. And things starts to progress, he followed the rules perfectly.
Many things happened there were a lot of newcomers.. Although it was hard to fit in but a few weeks in the city their attitude and personality changed, they were much better than before... People who are in need of help or need a help of living, gets accepted... Most people with good hearts get easily accepted.
That is why it is hard for others to come in because the barrier recognizes the soul of the entering.
Luke was appalled and was definitely Happy, On the day of the festival or White day...
In White day they celebrate the day of cleansing, In that day... The Ruler or Emperor that has a Soul of a person that can cleanse one another will appear... Luke was very excited, he was invited on giving a hand to the people preparing.
He helped with baking in cooking while in his spare time... He helped organizing the front where the ruler will appear.
And also in that day The Barrier is down, so most will come from Devildom and receive a blessing or soul cleansing. Mammon knew the faces of his Citizens so he knew who to give blessings. Although Newcomers are there.. they must show their worthy of the blessing his gonna give.
=========================================================================================
The Time or ceremony Has started.
Many People arrived even Diavolo and the brothers.
The Citizens were Sitting on their places... The Demons from Above were shocked the kindness they were getting. Luke was infront of all because of the help he managed to give.
And The brothers were standing, and not sitting so others could.
Asmodeus on the other hand was rambling on his legs need something to rest on.
While the others are standing tall. Well Belphie was getting supported by his twin brother Beel.
_______________
The people were chattering the Citizens of Libertas et pax, They were wearing white ribbons and golden rings, It was a reminder that they were a Citizen. Although Luke wasn't one, He was gifted or Given one because of his Kind soul... He was fitting here in Libertas.
The others found it Weird, but when A voice came out of the white golden house their focus was there.
=================
PEOPLE OF LIBERTAS! - Kim miru shouted.
OUR RULER HAS ARRIVED - NARU exclaimed!
_______________
In the glimpse of a familiar silhouette, They were appalled seeing the full one... dark skinned, white hair.
OUR RULER MAMMON HAS ARRIVED! - Miru and Naru said. The Citizens were shouting and applauding at the appearance he created. Trumpets were used... the fountain water arise, The GOLDEN SOUL has been seen.
Luke was dumbfounded... so does the brothers as well as Diavolo and Barbatos.
================
Mammon was feeling confident and Relaxed till he met the eyes of his Brothers.
He was shocked, his heart was beating he was hyperventilating... till he saw Luke.. His heart relaxed.. He smiled as both golden blue eyes met.
