It's possible something like that could happen. It's also possible that by killing Asmodeus a person could gain some form of his position or power, or that someone who took over would be more amenable to helping us, or more incompetent and more likely to slip up. We don't know either way. I'd take the gamble if I had the chance.

...But, again, that's why I want to work with you. And why I need to know important information. Why I'm here talking and not off trying to assassinate Asmodeus by myself.
