Enemy Civil War: Difference between revisions

* This trope is the primary reason why the main villains of ''[[Monster Girl Quest]]'' ultimately lose. [[Big Bad|Ilias]] has three direct subordinates, Promestein, Black Alice and Eden, with only Eden being truly loyal to her. When Luka invades Heaven, Promestein and Black Alice goad Eden into fighting him alone, resulting in her defeat. They then betray the now-unguarded Ilias, with Black Alice eating Ilias to absorb her holy energy. Promestein remarks on how Black Alice leaked information to the enemy, resulting in Promestein's strongest soldiers being killed. Promestein then attempts to eat Luka to absorb his holy energy, with the intention of becoming powerful enough to overthrow Black Alice. After Luka defeats her and Black Alice, Ilias emerges and reveals that this was [[All According to Plan]], allowing her to both increase her own power and remove some of her biggest enemies. However, her schemes mean that she is now completely without allies, resulting in her being defeated as well.

 

* ''[[Dominic Deegan]]'' had the War in Hell arc, which started with the mass destruction of a gigantic cult known as the Chosen. All of the Demon Lords turned against each other and threw their mortal Infernomancers into the fray; while Dominic was loath to do it, he supported Karnak (who, his Infernomancer having been banished, was at a disadvantage) because it was a literal case of "the devil you know". {{spoiler|Karnak ended the war by hurling a spear through the massed souls of the Chosen - when a soul is destroyed in the Deeganverse, it explodes, and this set off a chain reaction that killed all the other Demon Lords and tore Hell to shreds. He then pronounced himself King of Hell, as all other candidates were dead.}}
