His generals like Lucifer were probably the evil ones. Not Alsiel though. He's a pure husbando.

The source of magic in the human world is... feelings? I assumed it was positive feelings at first, but Lucifer still has access to his powers and he's clearly not a good guy. Strong feelings in general then. He's apparently currently feeding off Miho's negative emotions. I take it that's how he managed to retain his powers: using humans as his source of magic.

This is getting interesting. Hopefully, the show will find a good balance between drama/action and comedy. I don't want it to become all serious business.
Holy power comes from positive emotions, and demonic power comes from negative emotions. Which adds an extra bit of awesome to the mall collapse, since it means Maou used the peoples fear to save them...
