Li Wei nodded and continued, "God felt that humanity had fallen, so He launched a purge, unleashing massive natural disasters across the globe to exterminate humankind. However, this approach chilled the hearts of some angels, who then rebelled against God. This war lasted very short, and ultimately, the fallen angels paid a terrible price before killing their creator. God's indifference and trampling of humanity made them hostile to those who called themselves God."
Rias didn't know what to say. Li Wei's explanation was very straightforward, without beating around the bush, and clearly explained the purpose of those fallen angels.
Li Wei said, "They will eliminate anything that threatens humanity's existence, and their methods to achieve their goals can be described as extremely extreme."
Rias fell silent. Her perspective was dictated by her own circumstances; as a demon, she couldn't think from a human's point of view. The ultimate goal of the fallen angels was to eliminate anything that posed a threat to humanity. In other words, it was only a matter of time before those fallen angels from another world would cause trouble for the demon race.
This is not good news for the demon race. Although those big guys did not actively attack the demon city when they were in the demon realm, once she learned about their ultimate goal, she knew that the two sides would eventually become enemies, and there would be no room for reconciliation.
Rias took a deep breath and said with a wry smile, "I can understand their desire to protect humanity, but unfortunately, I am a demon, and they will come to destroy us sooner or later. However, right now, we can't even handle those demons from other worlds, and if they are added to the mix, the demon race is likely to be in grave danger."
The only thing Rias felt truly fortunate about was that Li Wei had promised the Demon Realm's higher-ups that he would help them preserve the demon race's seed. As long as the flame could be kept alive, given the demon race's power and reproductive capabilities, their resurgence was only a matter of time.
Li Wei said, "That depends on how the demon race views humans. If you can make those guys see you not as a threat, but as an asset or even an ally of humanity, you might even be able to get their help."
Rias's eyes lit up. Li Wei's suggestion was extremely important to her right now. It was like being suddenly allowed to open the book during a closed-book exam, allowing her to find a broad road through the fog.
Since those fallen angels from other worlds have their own firm stance, could the demon race achieve self-preservation by changing their own stance?
Moreover, humans are an important reserve force for the demon race. The boundary between humans and demons is actually quite blurred. From the perspective of modern science, the DNA similarity between humans and demons reaches 90%. That 90% of important DNA is the source of the demon race's extraordinary power. Humans being transformed into demons is to make up for this 90% DNA difference.
If the demon race and the human race could merge, would they be able to obtain an extremely powerful fighter?
Rias wasn't sure how feasible such a thing was, but at least it gave her a completely new perspective. She personally couldn't figure it out, but with so many intelligent people in the Demon Realm, if everyone brainstormed together, they might be able to find a suitable answer.
Rias thought of an important question and said, "Li Weijun, those fallen angels from other worlds have DNA and human appearances. Does this mean that, given the right conditions, humans can also become those powerful beings?"
Li Wei said, "That's true of the world those guys live in, but the humans in this world and the humans in that world, though they look the same, are different inside. The humans in this world can't transform into beings like those guys."
Rias was conflicted. She didn't know what to say. It seemed like a good thing that the humans in this world wouldn't turn into those monsters, but it didn't seem so wonderful either.
Li Wei said, "I know what you're worried about, but you can rest assured. Before destroying most of the other pantheons, the demon race, which doesn't directly claim the name of a god, will be ranked quite low in their hunting priorities. This period is the time for the demon race to show their sincerity. I believe that the smart people of the demon race know what to do."
Rias nodded. Although changing sides would inevitably bring pain, change was necessary for survival. Without change, there was only death. The Demon Lords would make the decision for those who were irrational.
Li Wei felt that his skills in deceiving people had improved a little. In fact, whether it was a fallen angel incarnation or a demon incarnation, the most basic form was human. Therefore, Li Wei's statement that fallen angels were ascended from humans was not entirely a deception.
Li Wei's deception of Rias was also a way of preparing to capture demons as laborers. After all, the world is in chaos, and demons and monsters roam all over the world. Li Wei naturally doesn't want to deal with those minions personally, as it would take too much time.
Therefore, Li Wei used this kind of deception to lure the demon race onto the human race's war chariot, letting the demon race deal with those monsters and demons, and then having the fallen angel's avatar appropriately express some goodwill to encourage them to continue the great cleanup.
Li Wei thought about it and realized that he was indeed a kind person, at least from a human perspective.
Chapter 1. The Council of the Gods
Rias felt as if a bronze bell had been struck in her heart. The answer Li Wei gave her was beyond her expectations. The demon race had always known that humans had great potential, after all, the vast majority of demons who were not native demons were transformed from humans.
However, the arrival of the fallen angel from another world made her realize just how terrifying humanity's potential, once unleashed, would be.
According to Li Wei, in the world where these fallen angels lived, when God was cleansing humanity, it provoked a rebellion from some of the angels. If even a single fallen angel is this powerful, how terrifying must the legion of fallen angels that kills gods be?
In her view, it was not surprising that such an army could kill gods, after all, the gods and Buddhas of this world had already proved the strength of those fallen angels from other worlds with their own lives.
Rias asked, "After we express enough goodwill, will they accept our goodwill?"
Li Wei said, "They are smarter than you think, and their perception is also quite outstanding."
Rias nodded; she already understood the subtext of Li Wei's words.
As long as Li Wei wasn't lying to her, winning the favor of the fallen angel from the other world wasn't absolutely impossible. Demons had plenty of ways to show sincerity. Since the fallen angel from the other world valued humanity so much, then all her plans should revolve around attacking humans.
After seeing Rias off, Li Wei knew that the tool he needed had been found. As for the demons and monsters in the human world, there was no need for high-ranking demons to take action. Ordinary demons could suppress most of the demons and monsters. There was no need for the demon realm to send out a large number of elite troops, and it would not affect the demon realm's homeland defense.
Li Wei felt that he had done a good job of squeezing the value of the "leeks" to this extent. Even the "mainstream" would be moved to tears. The "mainstream" would at most want the money from the "leeks," but he was different. From the beginning, he was after the lives of the "leeks."
After Rias left, Li Wei didn't rush back to the attic. He wandered around Akihabara for a while, and after accumulating more spoils, he leisurely returned to the attic.
Within two days, Li Wei's senses detected the activity of the demons. A considerable number of high-ranking and low-ranking demons began to operate in the human realm.
However, their purpose was not to expand their interests in the human world, but to systematically hunt down all kinds of demons and monsters. Li Wei's spatial beacons are all over the world, so he was able to detect the changes in the demon race. This time, the demon race mobilized at least 100,000 demons and lower-level demons. Such a large-scale operation also attracted the attention of other pantheons.
However, the demon race was very low-key. After deciding on the local monsters and demons, they left silently without making a fuss about their achievements or showing any inclination to proselytize. This relieved the other pantheons who were paying attention to the matter.
Time passed day by day, and due to the activity of the demon race, many pantheons also faced new troubles, namely, all the "beasts" they had raised had been wiped out.
Li Wei used a location-finding spell to pinpoint the locations of multiple pantheons, and he also overheard an interesting meeting.
Because the meeting was held on the other side of the Earth, and due to the time difference, Li Wei had to find a way to stagger the time. So, Li Wei left a clone to teach the students, while his main body was teleported there to the meeting venue.
The meeting was held in Asgard, the home of the Norse gods. However, the participants were not only members of the Norse pantheon. In addition to the Norse gods, there were also the Mayan gods, the Olympian gods, the Mesopotamian gods, the Eastern Celestial gods, and the fallen angels, one of the three major powers in the Bible.
Besides these mainstream pantheons, there are many smaller pantheons that Li Wei is not familiar with. However, after searching through these pantheons, Li Wei found no pantheons with a modern Cthulhu style, and there were no ancient gods or outer gods, which disappointed him somewhat.
However, to be honest, if Li Wei were to encounter a Cthulhu-style deity, he wouldn't easily make contact with them. After all, these things are extremely sinister. They might not be very powerful, but they are definitely good at disgusting people. Moreover, there are many tough guys in the Cthulhu universe, and Li Wei doesn't want to provoke such powerful enemies.
The Cthulhu universe is extremely despairing. The stars in the sky are all evil gods, and even humans themselves are the offspring of evil gods. They go mad when they come into contact with mysteries that exceed their limits, and then either die or revert to their ancestral forms, turning into all sorts of monsters.
In comparison, the worldview of High School DxD is already very friendly to Levi. In Levi's view, the demons here are just a branch of mutants.
Li Wei had laid an ambush at the meeting beforehand. His strength had improved significantly since he first arrived in this world, and he had made even greater progress in stealth.
It was precisely because of his powerful ability to conceal himself that Li Wei lay in ambush in a corner of the venue, patiently waiting for all the attendees to arrive.
Now, the main gods of each pantheon have all arrived, with only their respective god-king level beings missing. Important figures usually arrive last, so this delay is normal, as everyone cares about their reputation and no one wants to be looked down upon by others.
Li Wei waited for a week. At this point, he wanted to complain in his heart, "What time is it? They're still playing this childish game. Is it so hard to just lower their heads?" It was only because he needed to digest the Brahman gods that he didn't let his avatars launch a new attack. Otherwise, given the gods' dragging-out style, Li Wei was confident that he could destroy another pantheon within a week.
Over the course of a week, the main gods of various pantheons arrived one after another. Li Wei truly admired this person; each of them was a ten-thousand-year-old king with exceptional patience. In terms of patience, he, a "young man," still had a certain gap compared to these old kings.
After all, sitting in one's seat for a week, without eating or drinking, either staring at people with wide eyes, playing the trick of killing with one's eyes, or closing one's eyes to rest, such patience is indeed amazing.
Finally, Zeus and Hades from the Greek pantheon arrived. Hades also had a significant role in the original story and is one of the more frequently appearing figures in the Greek pantheon. In this world, Hades is a skeleton wearing a robe, and he just gave Levi a very bad impression.
Zeus, on the other hand, was a handsome young man who looked to be in his early teens. He wore a white robe and leather sandals, and his golden curls were simply tied up with hemp rope. He exuded an air of authority without being angry.
Chapter 1. Humans are God's Domestic Beasts
Within the spacious and magnificent hall, the Valkyries moved about, serving delicious food to the gods who had traveled from afar. It seemed that talking at the dinner table was not a unique feature of Chong Kingdom; even the gods had this custom. Perhaps, this custom in Chong Kingdom of this world was influenced by the gods.
Li Wei remained hidden in the shadows, refraining from making any rash moves. However, while these demons all had food to eat, he did not. He wrote down this grudge in his notebook.
As the host of the Norse pantheon, Odin, the king of gods and the chief deity, stepped onto the platform and began his brief speech.
"Gentlemen, you have come from afar. On behalf of the Aesir, I welcome you all. I will not repeat the purpose of this meeting again. I hope you will have a pleasant experience and keep your tempers down when discussing issues. After all, we now face a common threat, and we should all be allies."
The members of the various pantheons remained silent in response to Odin's words. They had been enemies for an unknown period of time, and this was not the first time they had faced such external danger. Therefore, many of them did not take Odin's words seriously.
Looking at the Valkyries moving among the gods, Li Wei thought of the original Norse mythology setting, where the Valkyries were actually public buses used by the gods to appease the warriors in Valhalla, just like in some pantheons where it is said that if a believer ascends to heaven, there will be an original one waiting for him.
These Valkyries are quite weak, and their auras are rather mixed, suggesting they've used public facilities countless times.
To put it bluntly, Valkyries are just playthings.
Yum Kax, the chief god of the Mayan pantheon, said, "Lord Odin, I understand what you mean, but so far we know too little about those monsters. I wonder if your side has more information about those monsters."
Yum was an old man with a goatee, dressed in a linen robe, and carrying a wooden staff with a handle that looked like rotten wood.
Odin said, "Unfortunately, we have no information whatsoever about how they appeared or where they came from."
Li Wei had already pulled a slice of watermelon from his pocket. Although my watermelon doesn't smell as good as your food, it's thirst-quenching, and it's a Black man's happy watermelon, very delicious, you must try it.
Just then, a figure suddenly stood up. Li Wei glanced over there and saw Azazel, a fallen angel who had a significant role in the original story and was one of the few doves among the fallen angels.
This name reminded Li Wei of the movie "Azazel Is Calling You" on the next set, a weakling who used a few Coke bottles as a form of mourning. Although he was extremely powerful, he was either being beaten or on his way to being beaten.
However, Azazel in this world is not from the demon faction, but from the fallen angel faction, and his own abilities are quite outstanding. Although he is not on par with the top powerhouses, he is still in the first tier.
Azazel stood up and said, "Excuse me for interrupting Lord Odin, as we happen to know some information related to these guys."
Odin didn't seem to care about such things, saying, "It's alright. We're all here to discuss important matters. We understand that Lord Azazel can provide useful information."
Azazel said, "As everyone should know, we Fallen Angels are one of the three major powers in the Bible. As members of the same race, we have been monitoring the other two to some extent. Our intelligence agents, who were stationed in the Demon Realm, have sent back information that the place where those monsters first appeared was the Demon Realm. However, whether those monsters are connected to the Demon Race requires further investigation and observation. But my personal inference is that those monsters should have no connection with the Demon Race."
Odin nodded. In fact, everyone was doing intelligence work, and they had planted spies in each other's camps to pass on information. However, because the Demon Realm was very closed, no one except the Fallen Angels could send spies into the Demon Realm.
Odin would only take Azazel's words as a reference and would not believe Azazel's words. After all, the fallen angels were fond of conspiracies and tricks, and he did not know whether this was a means of sowing discord.
Odin himself was a cunning and shrewd leader. He believed that Azazel wanted to use the power of other forces to weaken the demon race, and it was normal for the fallen angels to use such methods.
Hidden in the shadows, Li Wei continued eating his melon seeds, spitting them all over the ground. However, since he had used magic to conceal his presence, the Valkyries passing by did not notice the extra things on the ground.
Li Wei's feelings towards the fallen angels are rather complicated. It should be said that there are more fun-loving people among the fallen angels in this world. It is said that like repels like, and as a fun-loving person, Li Wei naturally does not like the fun-loving fallen angels.
Seeing that Azazel had fallen silent and was not going to say anything more, Odin said, "I will use my own methods to verify the information provided by Lord Azazel. If this matter is indeed related to the demons, then I will demand an explanation from them. There is another matter that is also related to the demons, namely, the demons' massacre of the monsters in the human world. Those monsters are our livestock, our precious property. The demons' actions have infringed upon the interests of all of us."
Li Wei, who was watching the drama unfold, had already revealed a deadpan expression. Speaking of which, is it really okay to be so blunt? In Li Wei's mind, these gods and Buddhas were all serious criminals who needed to be shot, especially after learning that the gods and Buddhas had destroyed humanity three times in a row for their own benefit. This made him very unhappy.

Li Wei was feeling pretty much like that at that moment.
Li Wei looked around and saw that all the gods present had tacitly agreed with Odin's statement. This meant that the trick of using the good cop/bad cop approach to harvest faith was not something that only one pantheon was doing, but rather that all pantheons were doing it.
Li Wei sighed inwardly, thinking how utterly rotten this world was. To these gods and Buddhas, humans were nothing but livestock. The feeling of having one's fate in the hands of others was definitely not pleasant.
Unfortunately, the livestock had no power to fight back. If he hadn't come to this world, the humans in this world would still have been obediently domesticated, and then one day, like turkeys at Christmas, they would all be slaughtered by their farm owners.
Tsk tsk, this tragic fate doesn't seem any worse than the Cthulhu Mythos.
Chapter 1. Disruption
Odin was still rambling on the stage, and Li Wei was so engrossed in listening that his dead fish eyes were practically popping out of their sockets. The same old rhetoric, repeated over and over again, had the same meaning: treating humans like livestock.
Li Wei carefully investigated the matter and found that the gods of this world had an addictive dependence on faith. It wasn't that they would die without it, but after experiencing the taste of faith, no god or Buddha dared to say that they absolutely did not need faith.
This stuff is like tobacco and alcohol to gods and Buddhas—an addictive substance that brings intense satisfaction, just like the "fat couch potato" pleasure is to Li Wei himself—an absolute pleasure he cannot give up.
