This is you’re captain speaking, mega post ahoy! Grab a snack cause you’ll be here a bit, sorry!

I suppose one could say this is a bit of a follow up to my last theory some time ago, here, though I really only want to shed light on the last few additions in which I brought up Lewin Light being detained during all this. . *vaguely gestures to everything*:

I wondered why he’d be detained at a time when The Knights were “failing to keep up”. . Consider this: He’s being removed because he knows too much.

As the wonderful @kiellessa mentioned in the comment section of my last throw away addition post, I also believe there is a third faction in this little demon civil war we’re having. . Yes, I know The Illuminati declared war on the entirety of The Order, but who did Lucifer come see directly?? Mephisto! That’s who! It’s been THEIR war this entire time, so, I pose the question: Wouldn’t humanity want to fight for themselves?

I say this solely because I am one of these human things (sometimes ;^] ) and I think I can tell you, we don’t usually give up easy. . Do you think you’d entrust you’re life with either demon faction?? Does either REALLY have humanities best interest??? The answer is 50 shades of NOPE! If you gave a single f*ck about humanity and you’d do anything to save it, SOME demons aren’t exactly the ones you’d turn to in a demonic apocalypse, right?

I was very stuck on the idea of Lewin being a double agent for the Illuminati, but as I lay on the floor of my room with my tablet over my face just skimming through the manga, I had an epiphany. Now whether or not that was before or after I dropped said tablet on my face is still unclear, but what IF Lewin knows a LOT more than he’s let on. . I know what you’re saying: SPIGGBO WE KNOW!!! But, consider this: What if Lewin was TOLD everything about Section 13 already?? But Who told him?? Drac Dragulescu! That’s who! 

Yes, I know we see Lewin walking away from Drac (Chapter 91, Page 18) and I know it’s a stretch, but what if he caved? What if he was overcome with the idea of somehow redeeming himself for all he’s done?? It “pains” him, right?

He claims he’s under a Morinath Contract, but I don’t believe a single word of that because of this statement: “...But If you think that because I was the Director of Section 13, you’re mistaken!” - right there he mentions Section 13 by name, unless I’m totally off (i’m not), Meph says one can NOT talk about it under said Morninath Contract. . Wouldn’t that include saying it’s name aloud??

I say this because the very second Tadashi Misumi (may he rest in peace, poor guy!) even uttered Section 13 he was done son; Death popped up instantly!

But I digress. . .

I might be way off, but I don’t believe what we’re seeing is a contract mark. . It looks like a collar of some kind, to me anyway. . What do you guys think of that??

THE CLIMAX! 

With all that I have said, lets theorize, shall we? (CHRIST ALMIGHTY, FINALLY!)

Why would The Order arrest a guy who would have supposedly cracked this case wide open?? Because Drac let him in on everything, including the Grigori’s involvement with the cloning as they most surely knew what Meph was up to, you can’t tell me they didn’t! Lewin is being silenced as he was already on the fence to begin with aaaand. . I still honestly believe Lewin has some way to communicate with Azazel, our very own scorned King!

I say this because of this panel specifically:

“Is that what he wanted?” - Suguro’s lovely question of whether or not Azazel even wanted his body used to the point of crystallization, I say nay nay! 

[[ The credit for this photo goes to @doctr-p !! ]]

Azazel is our “third man of power”, as Meph gracefully puts it. . I say, what if, Azazel was the first Demon King to turn to humanities side. . Beyond the Sol, it would appear he is wise. . He kinda sits in an odd spot though, all the elemental Kings below him and the three beasts above him (Meph a beast?? I’m sure he wouldn’t appreciate that description ;^] ). The King of Light, The King of Time and Space, and the literal essence of Gehenna. . Demon God, wielder of blue pain! . . Azazel sits in the exact middle. .

What IF he was tricked into giving it all up by The Trickster himself, Meph-dirty-cheat-phisto!

Here we go: Azazel aids the Sol in creating The Order and somehow convinced his brothers to cease their onslaught on humanity for a little while, but the peace does not last because Lucifer as well as himself and the others are “at their limit”. Mephisto produces his plan of cloning himself and the others, Azazel is told his clones look the most promising because cloning Lucifer would have become difficult and Mephisto refuses to deplete his own body further. Mephisto holds it over Azazel’s head that their oldest brother and father would really appreciate his sacrifice and humanity wouldn’t be destroyed by Lucifer if he were to obtain a new body. . Azazel agrees, though after its all said and done, he has no other choice BUT to crystallize in order to retain some watch over humanity. . Though as the years pass of him sitting in silence, he becomes resentful, the Sol stood back and agreed with Mephisto and Lucifer never got a body as Section 13 moved onto it’s Elixir research. . What was it all for then? 

Azazel crystallizing would get him out of Mephisto’s way on his path to ruling the world which works in line with the thread of theories by @kiellessa and @rottenprincessshura I’ve added Here

THE FINALE!!

Azazel’s quiet rebellion headed by Lewin as his vessel, whether that be literal or he can just speak to him somehow, is already in motion. . 

Lewin would agree that Azazel has been slighted and Azazel wouldn’t want the plans of either of his older brothers or even his father to succeed if it means humanity will cease to exist. . I say Azazel is the Demon King that loves humanity and Mephisto has just been repeating his line to make himself seem more in line with The Order’s views. . I await Lewin’s next moves with great anticipation, though I believe this is close to how it will play out. .
