As Katase Sakura watched the souls of her loved ones turn into specks of light in the sunset, her heart ached. Although she had achieved her revenge, all her loved ones were gone, leaving a huge void in her heart.

She feels that her life has lost its meaning, and even if she continues to live, she will only be like a walking corpse.

Li Wei patted Katase Sakura on the shoulder and said, "I know that words of comfort are useless now, and this is not something that can be overcome in a short time, but as long as you need me, I will provide you with a place to stay."

Sakura Katase gave a forced smile and said, "Thank you. I know what I should do, but I don't have any goals right now."

Li Wei said, "Then try living for yourself, not for the expectations of others, but simply for your own future."

Sakura Katase nodded.

Li Wei said, "I will handle the aftermath here. After what happened in this house, I don't think you would like to live here anymore. There are spare rooms in the attic. If you don't mind, you can stay there for now."

Li Wei led Katase Sakura back to the attic and had Yubeluna prepare a room for her.

Yubeluna, with Katase Sakura by her side, stopped at the entrance to the corridor.

Katase Sakura looked at Eubelina with mixed feelings. Eubelina's public identity was Li Wei's head maid, but Katase Sakura had a feeling that the relationship between Eubelina and Li Wei might be more than just that of master and maid.

Yubeluna opened the room door, stepped aside, and said, "I've really cleaned it thoroughly. It's fully equipped with all kinds of living facilities, including a private toilet and bathroom. If you need anything, just let me know."

Yubeluna also felt some sympathy for Katase Sakura. Katase Sakura's experience reminded her of her own childhood. She had gone through similar things to Katase Sakura. Although she had now taken revenge, she could no longer return to the innocent self she was in her childhood.

“Thank you, Ms. Yubeluna,” Sakura Katase said politely.

“Just call me Eubeluna. I’ve heard about your situation from my master. You’re absolutely safe here. I’ve been through something similar to what you’ve experienced, so I understand how you feel. From now on, you’ll be all alone. If you want to cry, no one will see you,” Eubeluna said gently.

Sakura Katase's eyes were a little red. Before, when she was in front of Li Wei, she had been controlling her emotions so that she wouldn't lose her composure too much, but now, she felt that she was about to reach her limit.

Yubeluna didn't say anything more, but simply pulled the other person into her arms, lowered her head slightly, and said gently, "Everyone here used to face various problems, but because of Master, we are living well now. Master is a very good person; he can tolerate everything we do."

After escorting Katase Sakura back to the attic, Li Weibei waited until the students returned home before checking the safety of their surroundings to prevent the tragedy that befell Katase Sakura from being repeated on others.

After dinner, Li Wei left the attic and began his patrol. He did discover some security risks. It has to be said that there are really a lot of demons and monsters now. Because of the return of the gods, which can be described as a "mysterious return" in a sense, the demons and monsters seem to have been tacitly approved and have become more active.

After spending some time, Li Wei cleared away some potential dangers. Of course, he didn't meddle in too many other people's business; he only eliminated potential threats around his students and didn't completely clear the area into a vacuum zone for extraordinary beings.

Chapter 1. Victims of the First Round

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Katase Sakura, who had been by Li Wei's side for some time, was no longer as distraught as before. Although she was still some distance away from fully recovering, her mental state was much better than when her loved one had just passed away.

During this period, Li Wei's magical artifact, the Soul-Sweeping Bell, was running at full power at all times. After half a month, he finally completed the refining of the entire Neon God System, turning it all into pills for his own growth.

After successfully refining the elixir, the first thing Li Wei did was to take the elixir during his evening rest and refine its medicinal power.

After absorbing the Neon Pantheon, Li Wei's strength improved considerably, which gave him more confidence in his next plan. Now that the Neon Pantheon has been destroyed, Li Wei's next target is the Brahmanism, the state religion of the White Elephant Kingdom.

The Brahmanism in this world also has considerable influence. Among all the pantheons combined, Brahmanism accounts for three of the top ten deities.

Although Li Wei found it illogical that this bizarre religion possessed such power, it wasn't surprising given that High School DxD's worldview is essentially a Frankenstein's monster.

After all, the original author of High School DxD had great ambitions when creating the setting, wanting to include all the pantheons in the world in the work. However, he was somewhat similar to the author of Infinite Stratos, whose talent was not enough to handle such a large world view, so many settings appeared that seemed very strange to readers.

There are various problems with the power comparison between the different pantheons. For example, the classical Norse pantheon and the Brahmanical pantheon are excessively powerful, and although the story is set in Japan, there are no Japanese-related gods appearing at all.

Besides, the Heavenly Court forces of Chong Kingdom were also virtually nonexistent, instead creating a bizarre "heroic faction" that even included Cao Cao.

It can be said that High School DxD is a hodgepodge of works, with all sorts of elements mixed in. The overall style is the kind of nonsensical style that goes something like "Old Wang next door used the Ten Subduing Dragon Palms to slap Gabriel down from the top of the city wall."

Although this setting might make you want to complain, once you accept it, you'll actually find it quite appealing.

Most importantly, the animation production team was very savvy; by pushing the boundaries of fanservice, they saved the original work, directly boosting its sales and allowing it to improve further. However, because the animation's style is so daring, it's only available in China via file-sharing sites, meaning that only those in Japan can directly purchase high-definition Blu-rays to enjoy it.

Li Wei was already strategizing how to break through the Brahmanical defenses and wipe out the entire Brahmanical network using only his clones, without his main body taking action.

Li Wei didn't have any ill feelings towards Brahmanism, but he found the caste system it promoted to be somewhat bizarre. As for how bizarre it was, it was a matter that couldn't be explained in a few words. A simple online search would reveal the consequences of such doctrines.

Strictly speaking, among mainstream religions, Brahmanism is the one that treats people the least like human beings; it's only slightly better than cults.

Li Wei pondered for a long time but ultimately couldn't come up with a good solution. The only way to take down Brahmanism was through force.

However, the strength of the Brahman gods is far beyond that of the weak Japanese gods. To wipe out the Brahman gods, simply having clones might not be enough. After all, strictly speaking, although the power of the Brahman gods cannot compare with the three major powers in the Bible, they are not to be trifled with. If he wants to take them down in one fell swoop, Li Wei is prepared to pay a certain price.

Now, after a period of nurturing, the power of the fallen angel's avatar has grown stronger, and Li Wei feels that the time is ripe.

So, one night, Livy controlled his clones to attack the Brahmanical realm, and the battle lasted for two hours.

The next day, the world was shocked.

Following the Neon Pantheon, the next victim has appeared. Even the demons in the Demon Realm have learned of this news. When the four Demon Kings learned of this news, they all fell silent.

··· ·Requesting flowers···· ··

Deep within the Demon Realm, within Achuka's Demon King Fortress, the four Demon Kings were holding a meeting. Demon Kings are extremely busy, and in addition to guarding against giant demons from another world, they rarely gather together unless there is something urgent.

Inside the not-so-spacious secret meeting room, three men and four women, the four demon kings, sat facing each other at the four corners of a round table. Apart from the four of them, there were no other people present. They were used to such secret gatherings.

Sajax said, "I think everyone already knows about the Brahman gods. Last night in the human world, the Brahman gods were wiped out. I really don't understand what those guys are trying to do. They destroyed the Neon gods before, and now they've hunted down the Brahman gods. Are they trying to start a war?"

........

Seraph crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair, saying, "That's not war, just a brutal hunt. Although I don't understand their motives, their actions will incite public outrage, and many pantheons will launch a hunt against them."

Sajax said, "Would a siege work on them? We've done it before. Numbers don't matter to them, and the longer it drags on, the greater their advantage becomes."

Sajax knew that the reason the Demon Realm was able to hold out head-on was because of the thousand artifacts provided by Levi. A large number of artifacts could allow the demon race to quickly produce a large number of experts. It didn't matter if people were lost, as long as the artifacts could be retrieved and passed down, powerful high-ranking demons could be created again very quickly.

However, other pantheons do not have the same conditions as the demon race. Every expert is precious to a pantheon, and once lost, it takes a long time to replenish them. In a war of attrition, no pantheon dares to say that it can withstand it.

Sajax continued, "Now that those fallen angels from other worlds have gone to the human realm, they have access to even more ley line power. I really don't know if we'll still be a match for them next time we meet."

This wasn't just a concern for Sajax; the other three Demon Lords also looked worried.

Chapter 1. Rias's Curiosity

While the four demon kings were still discussing how to deal with the situation, Li Wei started refining medicine again. Li Wei was not familiar with the Brahman gods, so he didn't even have the idea of ​​listening to their wails. He only glanced at the ghostly screams inside the Soul-Sweeping Bell.

In the battle against the Brahman gods, Li Wei's side also suffered some losses. One of his fallen angel clones was besieged by three main gods of the Brahman pantheon. Caught off guard, it almost collapsed on the spot. If it weren't for Li Wei's skillful micro-management, and the fact that the other four clones could simultaneously support the clone that was ambushed, that clone would probably have been killed on the spot.

For Li Wei, the puppet clones are high-end consumables, not irreplaceable. Even if they are destroyed, he can use the materials to recreate them. In terms of appearance and performance, they are no different from the destroyed original. However, this still costs money, so it is always good to save money.

With two pantheons destroyed in succession, everyone in the world is now on edge, and some have even secretly begun to unite. However, such things are quite distant for Li Wei, because he doesn't care at all whether those pantheons join forces. The strength of his puppet clones is gradually increasing, and their ability to deal with unexpected situations is also getting stronger.

For Li Wei, destroying those pantheons was merely a side quest. His ultimate main quest was to target the three strongest beings in this world: the Great Red, the Infinite Dragon God, and the Beast. The other gods and demons were just extras to him.

Li Wei isn't an achievement hunter when playing games, but if the side quest rewards are substantial, he doesn't mind taking a longer route. After all, if it's profitable, going the extra mile is worthwhile.

After two hours of lectures on cultivation techniques, Li Wei felt a bit thirsty. After school, he decided to slip away. He told Yubeluna that he was going out for a walk and then left the attic.

After leaving the attic, Li Wei went directly to Akihabara in this world. As a proper otaku, whenever he arrived in a world with Akihabara, collecting various materials and works was something he had to do. Thanks to his ability to travel through time, Li Wei saw many excellent works that did not exist in the real world, broadening his horizons as an otaku. It has to be said that being able to travel through time is a wonderful thing.

When Li Wei entered the bookstore, he found himself running into an acquaintance. At that moment, a beautiful young girl, her face as red as flames, was sitting by the window, engrossed in reading a comic book.

Li Wei found it somewhat unbelievable, because the girl in front of him usually gave off a noble and serious feeling, and comics, which are very otaku-like, didn't suit her at all.

The girl noticed Li Wei's gaze and looked up. When she saw Li Wei, a look of joy flashed in her eyes.

“Li Weijun, I didn’t expect to see you here,” Rias said with a smile.

"I thought I had mistaken you for someone else, but it really is you. Rias, do you like manga too?" Li Wei smiled and sat down opposite Rias.

Rias closed the comic book in her hand, turning the cover towards Li Wei.

Li Wei saw the cover clearly; it was a cover illustration full of religious themes, depicting angels and demons, and the title was "Blood Cross Chronicles," a work that did not exist in the real world.

Although he didn't know what the content was like, the cover of this work was indeed well drawn. Li Wei himself was a professional with an art background and was also an illustrator. His appreciation ability was much stronger than that of ordinary people. He could tell that the creator who drew the cover was quite skilled.

Rias said, "The types of manga I like are rather niche; they tend to be religious manga aimed at young adults, which is very unpopular."

Li Wei said, "I'm not that picky. As long as the creator isn't deliberately trying to disgust people, I'll read all kinds of comics. But I'm more selective when it comes to light novels."

For example, I never had a good impression of the Japanese academy, which has distorted values, whitewashes school bullying, and insults China.

Rias said, "As for light novels, I'm following 'A Certain Magical Index.' I have to say, the descriptions of gods and demons in this work are quite interesting. Although it has the length that most light novels have, its content far surpasses other similar works. The demon gods in it have very interesting settings."

Li Wei said, "Is it because you are a demon that you pay attention to works in this area?"

Rias nodded and said, "That's right. The typical shonen and shoujo manga are too childish or too idealistic for me. The unrealistic protagonists make it hard for me to empathize... Only shonen manga, which doesn't distinguish between good and evil but only between different perspectives, allows me to find the authenticity of the work."

Li Wei could understand Rias's thoughts. After all, as someone born into a noble demon family, she had been taught by her parents about all sorts of deceit and treachery since childhood. For her, the characters in shonen manga were too dazzling. On the contrary, the flawed characters in seinen manga felt more real to her.

This world also has works like "A Certain Magical Index" and "A Certain Scientific Railgun," and what surprised Li Wei was that these works were exactly the same as their counterparts in the real world, as if they were cut from the same mold. When Li Wei first learned of this, he was very shocked.

Rias looked at Li Wei, finding it hard to believe that someone like Li Wei, who was like a demon god in "A Certain Magical Index," would have such a down-to-earth hobby as reading manga. When she first learned about this, her shock was like discovering that the emperor was actually carrying a golden pole.

However, literary creation requires logic, while reality does not. The Li Wei presented to her makes no attempt to hide the fact that he is a homebody.

Rias said, "Liwei, those fallen angels from another world completely destroyed the Brahmanical pantheon last night. Three out of the world's top ten masters are gone. Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu have all perished. This change has altered the power balance among the various pantheons. Liwei, do you know why they are so determined to destroy the gods?"

Li Wei said, "You might not believe what I'm about to say, but are you sure you really want to know their purpose?"

Rias's expression also turned serious, and she said, "I'm prepared, please be sure to tell me."

Rias asked this question both to satisfy her own curiosity and to gather information for her brother, since no one knew more about those behemoths from another world than Li Wei.

Chapter 1. On How to Maximize the Value of Leeks

Li Wei said, "Since you're so curious, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. They're seeking revenge. They killed their own god, but they're still not satisfied. After coming to this world, any being that claims to be a god becomes their target."

Rias frowned. She knew that history would differ between different worlds. For example, the fallen angels and demons in this world were beings who betrayed God and left Heaven. However, the fact that they directly killed God was truly frightening to her.

Rias asked, "Why did they kill the gods? Did they do something to offend them?"

Li Wei said, "Before I tell you the reason, let me say something else. The DNA of those fallen angels and their human appearance, do you know what that means?"

Rias was shocked. Those colossal creatures, as large as mountains, had DNA that resembled humans, meaning that those fallen angels were actually human.

Rias said, "Could they be beings who ascended from humans?"
