I'll kill you after I finish this game!

After regaining his senses, the knowledgeable Fallen Angel Governor immediately understood part of the true nature of the fleeting light on the other side.

If the Twilight Lance is a deadly poison to demons, then this one before us has even enveloped them, the fallen angels.

Natural enemy, absolute natural enemy!

This is Azazel's current view of Reiji: for the sake of the fallen angels, he cannot afford to antagonize the person before him.

"You've got some knowledge. Do you want me to show you anything else? I can send you back to heaven for free, you just have to bear the pain for a little while."

Rezel looked at Azazel as if he were looking at a toy, and offered to show him off.

"No, no, my curiosity has been satisfied. You've evaporated most of my lust, you've practically stolen the meaning from my life."

Azazel immediately teleported away from Reiji, shaking his head frantically to indicate that it wasn't necessary.

He glanced at the black wings behind him and was surprised to see a pure white amidst the blackness; the color was too dazzling for him to see.

Purifying him from his sins is tantamount to stripping him of his lifelong faith.

He'd rather fall into depravity than go to heaven!

"That's a real pity. I've never seen a fallen angel, but I'd love to see a fallen angel turn over a new leaf."

Rezel stretched as he stood up in the void and openly revealed his wicked thoughts to Azazel.

Upon hearing this, Azazel looked constipated, while Rezhe glanced at him with a faint smile, left a message, and then turned and strolled away into the void.

"You've satisfied your curiosity, and I'm not interested in anything else. If you think I'm a threat to you fallen angels, you're welcome to come and make my life more colorful."

Lei Zhe's figure vanished into the shadows of the night.

Azazel scratched his head, looking troubled, his mind filled with complex emotions.

It seems that Raiji's display of power to restrain a specific being also reflects his corresponding strength and confidence.

If Reiji were not strong and were still weak, Azazel would definitely try to win him over by any means necessary, and if negotiations failed, he would eliminate the threat.

It's cruel and despicable, but that's reality.

But now he had no intention of being enemies with him, because the human boy was no longer a young beast that anyone could interfere with at will.

Fortunately, Vali and this person were on good terms, which made Azazel quite happy.

"Sigh, the world is becoming more and more colorful, and I, this old-fashioned person, am almost falling behind the times."

Considering the recent years, and the possibility that powerful beings might emerge from the human race in a short period of time, Azazel increasingly understood why the God of the Bible had so favored this weak race.

Wally's friend, Ikise Tobi, the strongest human candidate, Kanzaki Mitsuya, and now there's another one, Reiji.

Humanity will shine ever brighter in the future.

...........

In the underworld, inside the castle of the demon Gremory family.

"You're really good at getting me into trouble, Rias."

Sazex looked at the utterly dejected red-haired girl in front of him with a helpless and troubled expression, while Grayfia, who stood beside him like a guard, watched the scene expressionlessly.

In this room that resembled a study, Sazex sat at the table, looking at his utterly silent sister, unsure of what to say.

Reprimanding the other party? There's no need now; his sister Rias has already learned a lesson she'll never forget.

Fortunately, nothing happened this time. Apart from learning a painful lesson and growing a bit, he didn't cause any major trouble.

Rias, now facing her brother, lowered her guard and looked at Sirzechs with a very sincere tone.

"Brother, I know my stubbornness has caused you trouble, but Kitten and Yuuto..."

"Your [knight] has now turned back into a human, which can be resolved, but the divine artifact has been stripped away. As for the kitten..."

Sazex knew, of course, what Rias wanted to ask of him, but he was afraid he couldn't help her at the moment.

Kiba Yuuto has lost his divine weapon, which is equivalent to losing his qualification as a familiar. Even if he were to revert to a reincarnated demon, given his current distraught state, he probably wouldn't be a significant hindrance to Rias.

As for Tacheng Kitten, she has already been taken back by her older sister. This matter also involves a scandal within the Demon organization from back then, so we can't make a big fuss about it.

"...I understand, brother."

Seeing her brother's expression, Rias knew there was no hope, and her eyes, filled with self-blame, lowered her head.

Because of her own willfulness, she harmed Yuuto and also lost her kitten. It can be said that she has already paid the price.

Sazex knew this, so he didn't blame her much.

"Brother, I'll take my leave now. Just let me know if anything comes up."

After saying her piece, Rias took her leave. Now she needed to be alone for a while.

Sazex watched his sister's dejected figure leave, sighed softly, and looked utterly weary.

"It seems Rias..."

"This is something she has to go through. If she's not mature enough, she needs to be tempered. Blindly protecting her will only harm her."

Before her husband, Sazex, could finish speaking, Gurefia, knowing what he wanted to say, cut him off.

As she said, this is a trial that Rias has to go through. It's good to learn a lesson, at least it will help her grow.

Sazex understood his wife's meaning. A bitter smile flashed across his handsome, mature face as he picked up the document in front of him and said in a low voice:

"It seems that the Chiba area of ​​Japan has become the eye of the storm. One by one, they've all gathered together. It's truly a turbulent time."

The feathered serpent god Lucoa, the necromancer Hercyz, Thor, the daughter of the Emperor of the End, and a human powerhouse who rapidly grew into someone even Grefia was wary of—Rezhe.

After wiping out the vampire ninjas in the human world, the other party has come to the attention of some forces.

His friend Achuka also told him that the one from the Pandemonium had also gone to the human world, accompanied by Gabriel from the heavens.

Just as Rias arrived in Chiba, she encountered a crisis of invasion from another world. Fortunately, it was resolved, and now the Celestial Realm and the Underworld are communicating with the forces from the other world.

We recently received information from our spies that there are clear signs of personnel relocation within the Calamity Gang, and the location is also in Japan.

"This human named Reiji has an incredibly complex network of relationships, in addition to his own strength."

Sazex looked down at the intelligence on the table, focusing on the fact that the other party had close ties with the dragons and the world's center.

According to information obtained from the vampire ninjas of the underworld, this Rai Zhe is still someone who works alongside that necromancer.

This alone makes it impossible to ignore the other side. Those forces that have designs on or have taken action against Halsey will definitely be on edge about them.

They were afraid that this guy might do something if he got the power of Hersez.

Moreover, the on-site information obtained from Rias.

This human also had a good relationship with Tohru. When Rias and Sona were secretly gathering information, they discovered that the human had a very good relationship with the dragons from another world.

Gurefia also realized that the other party's relationship with that Tajo Kuroka was the same.

That's why I said the other person's network of relationships is too intricate; a single move can have far-reaching consequences.

"Do we need to negotiate with them? At least we haven't completely fallen out with them yet."

After learning all the information, Grefia also found Rezhe very troublesome. He hated demons because of her experiences, but at least they weren't mortal enemies yet.

Sazex pondered for a moment, his eyes flashing coldly after a brief silence, and then he spoke in a detached tone.

"Let's wait and see how things develop, and deal with those with ill intentions first. At the very least, we can't let them gain any advantage in the eye of the storm!"

"Also, send some people to keep an eye on the Phoenix family, since they also received intelligence from the human world."

It's not the right time to deal with Lei Zhe's affairs. Other forces are focused on the eye of the storm, so he can't let some unscrupulous people benefit, especially those hostile forces.

Sazex looked intently at the intelligence reports in his hand concerning the Underworld beings and Hades, as well as the reports on Li Zevim's movements—these were the most ill-intentioned.

Hades has been scheming against other forces for a long time, and this descendant of Lucifer, hiding in the shadows, is no different, always lurking and plotting something.

But one thing is certain: it's absolutely not good for any power.

That disgusting madman is just so repulsive!

"Understood," Grayfia nodded and wrote it down, then looked at Sirzechs with a subtle expression and asked, "Then... about Rias's marriage to the Phoenix family?"

"..."

Sazex remained silent for a while, and Gurefia did not disturb his contemplation.

"Her family is incomplete now, so a normal duel won't work. But given her personality, she definitely won't give up until the very last moment."

As Rias's older brother, he knew his sister's personality all too well, and he didn't want her to be unhappy. However, his current position as one of the demon leaders brought him many benefits, but also a lot of constraints.

At least when it comes to the rules that pure-blooded demons strictly adhere to, even with his extraordinary power, he is powerless to interfere too much.

His friend Seraph Sidi was in a similar situation, paying a price to drag out his sister's wedding.

He, Sazex, was also secretly helping Rias. Every one of Rias's familiars was assembled without his intervention, and he was also the one who put in a lot of effort in training them.

It's just that my younger sister is a bit disappointing in terms of ability. She's quite talented, but this seemingly stable era hasn't provided the necessary impetus for her development.

Destruction magic is also very effective against the Phoenix family's immortality, but Rias herself is not very strong. If it were someone of his age, he could easily take on a hundred people like Riesel with one hand.

"Greefia, give Rias my self-compiled Destruction Mode development manual..."

"...Aren't you afraid she'll mess things up during training? When you were figuring out your own strength, you were seriously injured and on the verge of death quite a few times."

"Isn't it because you can guide her? I feel at ease with you here."

"...I've never had a moment's peace with you Gremory siblings."

Glefia looked at the smirking Sazex with an expressionless face, exuding a terrifying aura, and spoke in a very indifferent tone.

P.S.: Please vote and recommend! There will be a small climax scene later where Reiji fights Orpheus in his golden form. There will be the [Creation] storyline that you want to see. We can't fight the Mercury Serpent yet, so let's fight the Ouroboros for now.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Lei Zhe: Falling in Love with Death Itself

"Recently, a major bloody murder has occurred in Tokyo and even...the city. The victims' heads were inexplicably severed, and their deaths were extremely gruesome."

"But after investigation by the police and experts, an unbelievable truth was revealed: every single one of the deceased was a ghoul."

"CCG and the police urge the public not to travel alone at night. This incident is under full investigation..."

The horrific and bloody incident that occurred in Japan these past few days has terrified countless people, and the number of people in some public places in Japan is decreasing at a visible rate.

Imagine you're walking along, and suddenly someone's head is severed from their neck, spraying you with thick, sticky blood. Who wouldn't be terrified and go insane?

This bizarre incident attracted great attention from the Japanese leadership, who determined it to be a supernatural event, thus requiring specific personnel to handle it.
