THANKS TO BODO OF ANIMESUKI:Vhttps://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=149719&page=131*The reason for creating a new position (8 Maou) is because Ise is a hero so he should leave his “own” name in history; Based on sins Ise would have been Asmodeus, but in this case the Military Affairs would have been transferred to somebody else. “Satan. It is the meaning of the king itself. Even in the Apocalypse, there was a sentence that describes Satan synonymously with Dragon.” Sirzechs want’s Ise to inherit Crimson Satan since he will return to Sirzechs Gremori, there will be no confusion between them since Sirzechs want to be a title that can be passed to the next generation (so only one person can use it). Sirzechs want to see a nephew or niece as soon as possible, since there will be a lot by the time he gets back. Lucifer and Lilith were creating devils by doing a ritual during a ceremony.
 * Azazel proposes oppaidragon as the 8th sin.
 * This is Sirzechs reply for the position:
 * Azazel mentions Sona’s future as a mother and Serafall stopped smiling and declares that the condition to be Sona’s future husband is to pass her full-course of the bridegroom and be stronger that her and Sirzechs. (poore Saji)
 * Ajuka wants to prepare new devils for ExE, and takes Koneko’s hair accessory that has the data about artificial Super Devils that Rias sent. (it appears Ajuka wants to create Super Devils … maybe Gya-suke is one of them …)
 * Ise and Vali becoming Maou’s may be head of the list since Odin appears and the first thing he says is: “So, after all, the Chichiryuutei and the Ketsuryuukou become Maou?”
 * Zeus said Apollon is strong, the same thing is said by Odin about Vidar.
 * Ascalon II is stronger than the original and also it seems to have a different shape.
 * Mistilteinn was commissioned for the war but it was not done in time. (not sure but it seems to be a copy not the original)
