Druids also exist in this world, but even with the power of druids, they cannot create forests and plants in a place like the Demon Realm. The environment of the Demon Realm is too harsh, and ordinary plants simply cannot survive in such an environment.
Li Wei smiled and said, "It's not a complicated matter. Give me your hand."
Himejima Akeno obediently did as she was told, extending her hand. Li Wei grasped her hand, and the two formed a special energy circulation structure. Through this structure, Li Wei directly transmitted his knowledge of plant manipulation magic from his mind to Himejima Akeno's mind.
Himejima Akeno looked shocked. She hadn't expected that Levi could do something so exaggerated just by shaking hands. Moreover, along with the transfer of knowledge, a tingling sensation filled her body. She didn't dislike this feeling; on the contrary, it made her feel happy.
When Li Weisong released her, Himejima Akeno still felt a sense of unfinished business; she wanted to experience more of that feeling.
Li Wei laughed and said, "Now you can try using magic to control the plants."
Li Wei's own magical power is derived from the most primal "qi," and its nature is far more advanced than the magic used by the demon race. Therefore, in order to enable Himejima Akeno to control plants with that kind of magic, Li Wei directly deduced on the spot and created a set of minor supernatural powers that could control plants. For him, this was like a math professor doing a primary school student's math problem, without any difficulty.
Himejima Akeno nodded and took a look at the plants not far from the two of them. Plants that can take root in the Demon Realm Wasteland are all very hard-working, but apart from being hard-working, they are really not good-looking. They are either unusually distorted or plain and unremarkable.
Himejima Akeno pointed her finger at the plant's virtual point, and the plant, which had originally looked somewhat ugly, began to change its appearance, becoming more vibrant in color and blooming with bright flowers. However, beneath the ground, the modified plant's roots became more vigorous, continuously burrowing downwards until they reached a depth of more than ten meters, stopping only after finding a layer of moist soil.
Himejima Akeno looked surprised. In the Demon Realm, in order to improve the harsh natural environment, some high-ranking demons went to the human world to "study abroad" and learn the Druid way. But even the power of the Druids could not save the natural environment of the Demon Realm.
However, now, just by shaking hands, she has already mastered power far exceeding the Druid's path. No one would believe such a thing if it were told.
However, she only knew how to do it, but had no way to pass on this knowledge to others. It was a mysterious and profound method that could only be understood intuitively and could not be explained in words...
Himejima Akeno took a deep breath, and her immense magical power, far exceeding that of ordinary demons, radiated outwards. Centered on her, lush flowers and plants spread outwards, extending for more than two kilometers before stopping.
The plants that Himejima Akeno cultivated were mostly magical herbaceous plants used for windbreak and sand fixation; only a few were flowers.
Himejima Akeno said, "My magical power has dropped to the warning level. I didn't expect that such a technique would consume magical power in this way. However, if we were in the human world, the consumption would be much less than here."
Himejima Akeno is confident that she can transform even the Sahara Desert into grassland. The power that Li Wei bestowed upon her is extremely powerful, whether used to modify the environment or for combat.
Li Wei snapped his fingers, and a colorful floral wreath appeared in his hand, which he placed on Himejima Akeno's head.
Akeno Himejima, sensing the power emanating from the wreath, exclaimed in surprise, "This is... a divine artifact?!"
Himejima Akeno was truly shocked. With a snap of his fingers, Li Wei created a divine artifact from the very beginning. What immense power this was, reaching a level she could not comprehend at all.
Li Wei smiled and said, "It's just something I made on the spur of the moment. It's a little gift for you that will help you control plants better."
Li Wei knew that the ability to manipulate plants had limitations, mainly in the plants themselves. The fact that plants need oxygen to grow meant that the ability to manipulate plants could not be universally applicable. However, this flower crown allowed Himejima Akeno to create plants out of thin air in the cosmic environment, and the extraordinary plants she created could break free from their dependence on oxygen, making her ability more comprehensive.
Furthermore, some say that when Himejima Akeno wears the floral headdress, her originally aloof and elegant demeanor is softened, giving her a more approachable, girl-next-door feel. But whether she exudes aloof elegance or approachable charm, she is undeniably beautiful; it's just that her figure is so lewd.
Chapter 1. The Felix Family's Reaction
Just as Levi and Akeno Himejima were enjoying their time alone, the paper cranes Levi sent out, following García, passed through the teleportation station and returned to the Felix family's territory.
The Felix family's capital city is a massive metropolis with millions of inhabitants. Due to the substantial profits gained from past wars and ranking games, the capital city has developed exceptionally well, surpassing even large cities in the human world in both scale and infrastructure. After all, magical power can sometimes be quite capricious.
The paper crane hovered above Garsien's head, completely unaware of its presence. After leaving the teleportation station, Garsien returned to his family's mansion.
Li Wei observes Garcin from the perspective of the paper crane. Garcin is a high-ranking demon with top-tier strength in the demon world. He did not appear in the original story, but he is a real character.
In a real world, there will inevitably be many characters who did not appear in the original anime storyline.
After returning to the mansion, García entered the living room and saw his three sons and one daughter: the eldest son, Boken de Felix; the elder son, Samace de Felix; the third son, Riesel de Felix; and the youngest daughter, Raville de Felix.
At this moment, the four people are playing a magical board game around a long table. Because of the support of magical technology, the environment on the long table is supported by magical power, with various special effects and physical touch volume. Under the control of magic, all the character pieces can make movements that are no different from real people.
Upon seeing their father return, the four chose to pause the game.
With a scar on his face and golden hair standing tall, Felix's eldest son, Boken, asked, "Dad, how are the negotiations for the third son's marriage going? Are they progressing smoothly?"
Garcín was furious and sat down on the sofa without saying a word. Seeing his angry expression, all four of them knew that something must have gone wrong when they went to discuss the marriage.
Boken said, "Dad, is it because you can't agree on the bride price and dowry?"
Garcín smashed the armrest of the sand, the precious wood enhanced with magic, to pieces. He said through gritted teeth, "If it were just a matter of betrothal gifts and dowry, that would be fine. But that bastard from the Gremory family actually asked me to break off the engagement!"
The second son, Samas, with his long blond hair, unconsciously raised his voice, saying, "What?! Annulment?! On what grounds?!"
Upon hearing this news, Riesel, the person involved, was completely stunned. When he came to his senses, his expression twisted like that of a demon.
Garcín said, “Anger won’t solve anything, and it will only make us a laughingstock. What we need to do now is resolve this matter. Things that were agreed upon before have now changed. Something must have happened, or the Gremory family has found someone who can back them up, which is why they dare to turn their backs on something that involves their family’s reputation.”
Although Riesel was still angry inside, he calmed down. Just as his father had said, anger would not solve any problems. To solve problems, one had to use one's brain to think of a way out and put it into practice with one's own strength.
Of Gashion's four children, old Samas, though hot-tempered, was the most intelligent. After a moment's thought, he said, "Although we don't know why they dared to do such a thing, we are not without a strategy. Our family has a challenge right that we haven't used yet, which we can use in this situation."
Upon hearing his words, everyone else turned their attention to him.
The so-called challenge right is a privilege awarded by the higher-ups of the Demon Realm to noble families who have made contributions to foreign wars. The maximum number of challenge rights that can be accumulated is only 10. Families with the challenge right can challenge other families without reason, participate in a ranking game, and set the wager that the other family must pay.
However, such bets are subject to restrictions. The four demon kings will oversee each use of the challenge right. The price proposed by the family using the challenge right must be reviewed by the four demon kings and must not cause serious damage to the challenged family before it can be approved.
Using the right to challenge the Gremory family and demanding that they marry Rias to Riesel is the simplest, most direct, and quickest solution.
Boken looked shocked and said, "That's a challenge right that can't be used lightly. Is it appropriate to use it in this kind of situation? Doesn't Father's plan also involve using the challenge right?"
Samas said, "We must resolve this issue quickly and decisively. The longer we drag it out, the more variables will arise. I know Father's plan; after all, I'm the one who assisted him in formulating the plan. How could I not know the impact of using the challenge right on the subsequent plans? But we must use it now. We must catch the Gremory family off guard and make the marriage between the third son and Rias a fait accompli. As for the subsequent impact, I will find a way to handle it."
Garcín was quite satisfied with his children, especially old Samass. Although he didn't have any advantage over his siblings in terms of strength or blood purity, he possessed the best mind in the entire family and was an important helper in formulating the family's development strategy.
Garcín said, "Samas makes a good point. Let's resolve Riesel's marriage first and get our hands on the Gremory family bloodline. As for other issues, we can figure them out later."
As for Rias, the person involved, his heart was like a rollercoaster. He had already given up hope of this relationship, but he never expected that his brother would be willing to use his challenge right to help him win the beauty's heart. He had long coveted Rias, the second daughter of the Gremory family. Not only was she beautiful and had a good temper, but she was also exceptionally strong. If he were to marry such an outstanding partner, they would surely produce outstanding offspring.
When he heard that the other party had broken the contract, he was filled with shock and anger, but when he heard that his brother was willing to use his right to challenge the contract, he felt relieved.
Garcín said, "Challenging the Gremory family is possible, but it depends on who we challenge. After all, I'm no match for that old fox in a direct confrontation, and that woman Vinellana is not someone to be trifled with. As for Sajax, he's a Demon King; even if we all joined forces, we wouldn't be a match for him. So, the only target we can challenge is the person directly involved in this matter—Rias Gremory herself."
Chapter 1. The Right to Challenge
The Felix family members are all known for their fiery tempers, but fiery tempers don't equate to stupidity. They are all well aware of just how powerful the Gremory family they are about to challenge truly is.
It can be said that in terms of individual combat capabilities, the Felix family is far inferior to the Gremory family.
Therefore, the first thing to avoid is those tough opponents. Needless to say, a battle between veterans is out of the question. If it comes to a head-on fight, Garcin will be pinned to the ground and beaten by Geoticus.
The Felix family's advantage lies in their exceptional endurance in combat. Unless they are killed on the spot, they can recover from their injuries at an extremely fast pace, allowing them to wear down their opponents through attrition warfare.
However, the Gremory family is known for its explosive damage output. In a clash between the older generations, Garsien would most likely be taken down by the Geoticx set.
Therefore, the idea of a showdown between the older generation is bound to be rejected. Among the younger generation, Sajax, the strongest demon king in the demon world, is not just for show. So, given the unspoken rule of the eldest son versus the eldest son, the strongest among the younger generation of the Felix family, Boken, would definitely die on the spot.
All eyes turned to Riesel.
Samas patted Riesel on the shoulder and said, "This time, you'll have to rely on yourself. After all, we're not confident we can beat the rest of the Gremory family. Only Rias herself has a chance of winning."
Riesel was a little flustered. Although he was very confident in his strength, he also knew his own limitations. Compared with Rias, his strength was still somewhat inferior.
Because he had always coveted Rias, he knew her quite well. Rias was the weakest member of the Gremory main family, but this weakness depended on who she was compared to. Rias's father was a Demon Lord-level fighter, and her brother was the current Demon Lord, possessing ten times the magical power of the former Lucifer—a monster with virtually unlimited mana. Rias's mother, though rarely seen in public, earned the title "Queen of Slaughter" in her youth, making her a formidable figure as well.
Rias is the weakest in that family, but that family is full of monsters. It's normal for Rias, a "little girl," to be weak since she hasn't grown up yet.
Riesel said in a panic, "Dude, are you kidding me? I'm definitely going to be beaten into a pulp!"
Beside her, a petite girl with long, golden curls, clutching a plush toy, wore a disdainful expression on her pretty face and said, "You idiot with lustful thoughts but no guts, you chickened out now? What happened to your bold words from before? Why aren't you saying them anymore?"
Riesel was a little embarrassed. After all, the engagement had gone smoothly, and he thought he would win the heart of his beloved. He never expected things to turn out like this.
Samas said, "Don't worry, the family has acquired quite a few good things over the years, enough to arm you to the teeth. I personally have a very special artifact that I can unbind and lend to you first."
Riesel looked shocked and said, "Brother, that special artifact that can unbind is your lifeline! Can you just lend it to me like this?"
Samas said, "For you, you idiot, to win the heart of the beauty, I have no choice but to go all out. However, after this special artifact is unbound, all the buffs accumulated before will disappear, so you must refresh the artifact's buffs as quickly as possible! This operation is related to Father's family development plan; success is the only option, failure is not an option!"
The golden giant cat girl, Raville, said, "Brother, you've filled all your pieces. I'm going to use my family's secret technique to become your 'Shadow Queen.' If you have two 'Queens,' your chances of winning will be much higher."
Riesel looked excited and said, "Thank you so much, little sister! I'll definitely bring your sister-in-law back!"
The Felix family possesses a secret family technique that, after experimentation, allows them to use one Demon Chess Piece as two. Therefore, once the technique is activated, the Felix family can use twice the number of players to crush opponents in ranked games.
This is one of the Felix family's most prized assets, and they won't use it unless under special circumstances.
Revel said, "Adding more combat power in the usual way is useless. Just adding my queen is enough. Besides, this is already considered cheating. If too many people are added, it may not pass the rule review."
Garcín said, "With Revel here, I feel at ease."
Boken, the eldest son, said, "There's nothing I can do to help. I can't play ranked games anymore, so you can practice with me on the artifact that Samas gave you to get the buffs up. I'll make sure you get the artifact's buffs up to the maximum in the shortest time!"
The Felix family is aggressive when dealing with outsiders, but they are very united internally.
Unbeknownst to anyone, the paper cranes above their heads had already relayed their actions back to Li Wei.
At this time, Levi, who had returned to the Gremory family mansion with Akeno Himejima, had a plan that he could use to trick the Felix family.
The Felix family members are quite arrogant outside, so this is a good opportunity to teach them a lesson. However, whether the Felix family members can understand this letter or not is not my concern.
When Levi returned to the Gremory family mansion, Rias learned that her parents had rejected the marriage proposal to the Felix family. She breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt some worry.
After dinner, Rias looked out at the city from the rooftop balcony of the family's house. Li Wei also came to the balcony, holding a bottle of cola.
Li Wei walked to Rias's side, leaned against the railing, and said, "I noticed you seemed a little off during dinner. Did something happen?"
Rias didn't hide anything and told Li Wei about her parents breaking off the engagement.
Rias said, "As far as I know, the Felix family will definitely not let this go. Who knows what trouble they might cause next."
Li Wei laughed and said, "If that's the case, don't worry. At worst, I'll take care of it for you."
Rias asked in surprise, "Is this appropriate?"
Li Wei laughed and said, "What's inappropriate about it? Rejecting someone you don't like is taking responsibility for your own feelings. Before, you had no choice, but now that you do, why not give it a shot?"
Chapter 1. Believing they were kindred spirits
Li Wei's words gave Rias the courage to face the possible changes. The reason she felt uneasy was that the internal relationships of the noble families in the Demon World were very complicated. Many times, a single move could affect the whole situation. Therefore, even though the Felix family had a Demon King, the Gremory family still found it troublesome.
