We have no idea what the promises were, nor how he planned to deliver.
Of course, knowing the LOSRHs, those promises were “ice-cream for breakfast every day, free healthcare, free carbon-neutral energy, and cures for cancer and the common cold”. He just needed to take over the world briefly to stop any government trying to block him from making the oil industry powerless overnight and then he was headed straight back home.
I bet there are some demons out there that would actually be pretty cool once they become god… but usually it’s the becoming god part that’s not worth it.
Not the one who says, first we destroy Earth. Oh and the traditional reward for help destroying the planet that you are on is usually (but not always) a quick death.
Perhaps it was an actually better version of the Happy Meal, with bigger and tastier portions and a collector’s toy that doesn’t suck…
Or perhaps he was giving them better dental…
A very nice detail here: he said “to achieve everything WE wanted” and not “I wanted”. This kind of reveals that he indeed cared about giving his cultists, what they wanted.
Sounds like Wuya from Xiaolin Showdown, thoroughly evil but when Raimundo briefly turned on his team and helped restore her to a physical body and all her power she promptly kept all her promises to him. She treated him with honest affection and was always asking how he was doing and what she could do to make him happy while she was conquering the world. You almost felt sorry for her when he eventually turned on her and returned to the other side because she actually dealt completely honestly and aboveboard with him.
He’s an abomination from hell, lady.
Can you just belt him now?
An abomination from hell he may be, but at least he keeps his promises. There’s something to be said for that.

In that regard, i suppose he’s better than most politicians.
Better than Trump at least
Our Trump or their Trump?
Deliver on his promise? Yup a quick death.
Makes sense. Sure, he’s evil, but he’s gotta do something right to keep the henchmen too. :p
Well in many stories devils are following contracts, only trying to trick others with wording and loopholes but not actually breaking them.
And there are stories that the Lord of Lies, outright lie.
But of course, even these who don’t break contracts lie in all other situations.
