Himejima Akeno smiled wryly and downed her glass of red wine, saying, "Li Wei-kun, you don't need to comfort me with this kind of thing. I know my own situation. After all, I still have basic aesthetic sense. Can these strange wings really be considered beautiful?"

As Himejima Akeno looked into Li Weiwei's sincere eyes, her heart grew increasingly bitter. Although she did not have any missing limbs, the Demon Wings were not only auxiliary limbs for demons, but also a facade for them to show off, like the tail feathers of a male peacock.

Demons would actually take care of their demon wings, training them in various ways to make them stronger, more beautiful, and more visually striking.

This is a unique aesthetic culture of the demon race. Outsiders can hardly understand the demons' obsession with their demon wings. At gatherings, demons will display their demon wings to attract the attention of the opposite sex.

Himejima Akeno didn't want to participate in the banquet, but as a member of the Gremory family, it was unavoidable. Every time it came time to display her demon wings, she would find an excuse to leave. The Gremory family members who knew the inside story tacitly approved of Himejima Akeno's behavior.

Of course, Akeno Himejima's inner pain did not end there.

A strange expression appeared on Li Wei's face. If he didn't know the plot, he could easily be misled by the information he was getting. Himejima Akeno's dissatisfaction wasn't just about her demon wings. If it were just a problem with the demon wings, Himejima Akeno wouldn't care so much.

What Himejima Akeno truly cares about is the unresolved issue between herself and her father. Her mother's death and her father's decision to send her to the demon camp to protect her both occurred during her childhood and left indelible psychological scars. This is the real problem.

At that time, the situation within the Fallen Angels was quite chaotic. Azazel and Barakil, the father of Himejima Akeno, were caught in the storm of power struggles. A civil war between the pro-peace and pro-war factions was imminent. In order to prevent Himejima Akeno from being harmed, Barakil had no choice but to send her away to keep her away from danger, but this also caused Himejima Akeno psychological trauma.

Li Wei said, "If it's just a matter of the appearance of the Demon Wings, I have many ways to help you solve it. But I have a feeling that even if the appearance of the Demon Wings is resolved, there will still be problems in your heart. It should be said that the problem of your outward appearance is not a big deal for you. Your real problem is something else."

··· ·Requesting flowers···· ··

Himejima Akeno was surprised to see Li Wei's serious expression, because Li Wei was so perceptive that he could tell she was lying with just a glance.

Himejima Akeno smiled wryly, "It's really hard to hide my secret from you, Li Weijun. Indeed, just as you said, solving the problem of the Demon Wings' appearance is only a temporary fix. But I don't want to reveal my secret right now, and I hope you can understand."

Li Wei leaned against the rock wall of the hot spring pool and said, "Everyone has secrets they don't want to tell, and I understand that. When you want to tell someone someday, I will be a loyal listener who can keep your secret."

. ...

Li Wei knew that haste makes waste. Girls are inherently delicate and sensitive, especially someone like Himejima Akeno, who has had a tragic life. If he pushed her too hard, it might backfire and even make Himejima Akeno afraid to see him.

Himejima Akeno breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you for your understanding."

Himejima Akeno knew she was a tight-lipped person, but if Li Wei continued to press her, he would eventually tell her, as she simply couldn't refuse him. If Li Wei truly wanted to know, even if telling the truth would make her feel terrible, she would tell him. Li Wei's respect relieved her, but at the same time, a strange urge to confide arose within her, which she decisively suppressed.

Himejima Akeno looked at Li Wei, sighed inwardly, and was also a little worried, because Li Wei was too gentle to the girls around him. She knew about what had happened to Li Wei's students, and she had already learned about what had happened to Katase Sakura from Katase Sakura herself.

This powerful yet forceful tenderness is like the sweetest dream. Even if girls know this dream is poisonous, they will still rush towards it like moths to a flame. Therefore, she can foresee that the girls around Li Wei, after getting used to Li Wei's presence, will not be able to accommodate anyone else in their hearts.

Chapter 1. Fallen Angels, the Mafia?

As the night passed, Li Wei remained remarkably gentlemanly. Although he was living under the same roof as Himejima Akeno, he did not act recklessly but instead adhered to his principles. Even when faced with Himejima Akeno's advances, he did not act out of line, but simply expressed his appreciation and respect for her.

Ultimately, Li Wei wanted to play the long game. Establishing a relationship with one girl too early would affect his ability to win over other girls, which is why Li Wei acted like a gentleman.

On the next day, Li Wei and Himejima Akeno did not leave the hotel. The hotel itself had quite a few entertainment facilities, so the two of them did not go out. Moreover, Li Wei deliberately created opportunities for the fallen angels to make their move.

If this happened outside, the fallen angels might have dragged a lot of unrelated people into the situation when they created the barrier. The fallen angels themselves are not exactly nice guys, and the other side is the most radical group within their own race. Anything could happen.

Staying inside the inn confines the battle to this area, minimizing damage to the surroundings. Furthermore, Li Wei has already inscribed an array within the inn; once activated, pedestrians will be teleported to a special space he created. This special space operates on a principle similar to the "Meta Domain" from Ultraman Nexus. Within this space, Li Wei can act freely without worrying about his power causing unnecessary damage to the outside world.

In the morning, Li Wei and Akeno Himejima were playing arcade games in the hotel's game room, both waiting for the Fallen Angels' attack. However, the morning was uneventful, and nothing happened. After lunch, the two went to the hotel's gym, picked up a pair of ping-pong paddles, and were about to play some ping-pong when Li Wei sensed a high-energy reaction.

Just as Li Wei was about to serve, he put down his racket and said, "The other side has finally arrived."

Himejima Akeno paused for a moment, then nodded.

Li Wei said, "Judging from the energy reaction, there are seven high-ranking demons on the demon side, and the rest are all low-ranking demons. The number of people is [number missing], so it seems to be an elite squad."

Unlike demons, the strength of fallen angels is sometimes reflected in the number of wings they have. Having more wings does not necessarily mean being stronger, but most of the stronger ones have more wings.

Just like angels, fallen angels grow stronger as their power increases, and their wings also grow in number. This is because Li Wei has already dissected the fallen angels of this world. The same applies to the demons; they just haven't had a suitable opportunity to capture an angel for dissection yet.

Demons habitually store energy in their bodies, while fallen angels and angels store some energy in their wings, using them as extra batteries. When not fighting, they charge their wings, and when fighting, the energy in their wings feeds them back. This structure, with its built-in external battery, prevents fallen angels, who are inherently less endurance, from being at a disadvantage when facing demons.

When Himejima Akeno heard the number of people Li Wei mentioned, she exclaimed in surprise, "They really spared no expense. They mobilized so many people for an ordinary high-ranking demon like me."

If Li Wei weren't around, Himejima Akeno would feel a little flustered, but now there's no need for that.

After entering the hotel, the fallen angels went straight for Li Wei and Akeno Himejima, surrounding the gymnasium from the outside.

The fallen angels began casting spells on the spot, and a special field surrounded the entire hotel.

Li Wei was somewhat surprised, because the effect of this domain included "dispersing idlers." He sensed that ordinary people within the domain were beginning to leave the area. Li Wei had originally thought the fallen angels would attack directly, but it seemed they were also showing some restraint and martial ethics, not involving ordinary people. This made him think more highly of them, but that was all.

Himejima Akeno was unaware of the changes in the outside world. She was not a specialized demon who excelled in perception, so when the other side began to devise a plan targeting her characteristics, her reaction was slow.

Li Wei said, "The other side has already pulled us into a special area. Although it's not exactly another dimension, we don't need to worry about accidental injury."

The special domain created by the fallen angels doesn't pull them into a special space, but rather creates a barrier based on the existing world, separating the inside from the outside. It's easy for those outside to enter, but extremely difficult for those inside to leave. This applies to both sides and their reinforcements...

In some ways, this special area is similar to the "Four Purple Flame Formation" in Naruto, but it covers a wider area and has a better effect.

Li Wei wanted to complain inwardly. The intelligence work on the other side was ultimately a bit weak. If it were only Himejima Akeno alone, this special area would have been the place where she met her demise. However, he was with Himejima Akeno, and the elite squad on the other side was now all going to be sent to their deaths.

The male fallen angel was tall and dressed in a mafia-style suit and trench coat, with a soft felt hat. He kicked the paper door of the room open, his shiny leather shoes still hovering in mid-air.

Li Wei wanted to complain inwardly. He wouldn't be surprised if the other person suddenly pulled a Chicago typewriter out of his trench coat right now, given his attire.

However, while watching the anime, Li Wei noticed something: the fallen angels in this world, especially the male ones, all dressed in a very uniform style, which had a strong gangster vibe.

Barakil is a traditional Japanese yakuza kimono, while Kokabil and Azazel represent different mafia styles. The survival-of-the-fittest mentality within the Fallen Angels clan does indeed have gangster characteristics; their styles tend to be similar and are intrinsically connected.

The male fallen angel shouted, "You stinking, lava-smelling demon, you're about to die, you know that!"

Wearing a yukata, Akeno Himejima lifted it, revealing her demonic form. Her appearance resembled that of a succubus in some adult games. The revealing armor only covered her vital parts, appearing to be more decorative than defensive.

However, in a world with extraordinary power, more defense isn't always better. Himejima Akeno's style is all about speed and damage output, so she doesn't like heavy armor. Her light armor, with its defensive magic circles, gives her defenses comparable to a concrete fortress on the human side. Once her defenses are activated, even taking a tactical nuclear bomb head-on is just a minor issue of breaking through her shield. The numerous defensive magic circles and multiple layers of magical shields on her armor prevent her from being instantly killed by concentrated fire on the battlefield, giving her the ability to escape from engagements.

Chapter 1. Digging Your Own Hole

People poured in through the door, dressed in a mix of black and white. The male fallen angels wore black suits with trench coats and top hats or felt hats, while the female fallen angels wore gothic outfits with belts, exuding a dark and gothic vibe, with a hint of erotic role-playing.

This squad can easily destroy a town with tens of thousands of people, completely leveling the entire town. Even against a small city, they can achieve the effect of annihilating the city.

Humanity's powerlessness in the face of gods can be seen in many details.

A female fallen angel stepped forward; she was the proprietress of the hot spring inn. After shedding her human disguise, the proprietress Shana revealed her true face: a cold and beautiful, tall and aloof older sister. However, at this moment, her eyes were filled with aggression as she looked at Li Wei, as if she wanted to devour him alive.

"I'll handle this man. Nobody's allowed to take him from me." Shana tapped her lower lip with her index finger and winked at Levi.

The male fallen angel said, "It's up to you. Our mission is to keep that demon here completely. But you have to make sure your toy doesn't leak any information, or I'll smash it to pieces."

Shana laughed and said, "Of course, I will train him to be my most loyal slave, and I guarantee he will never reveal any secrets."

The moment she first saw Li Wei, she could no longer suppress her desires. The flames of jealousy burned fiercely in her heart. She was jealous of Himejima Akeno beside Li Wei. Why was that filthy demon able to stay by the side of such a handsome man as Li Wei, who was like sunshine? Why couldn't that person be her?

It was precisely because of this that her inner jealousy made her call for backup without the slightest hesitation, wanting to completely kill Himejima Akeno and then take over Li Wei.

She spoke fiercely, saying she wanted to turn Li Wei into her slave, but in reality, she couldn't bring herself to do it. What she wanted was a partner with self-awareness, not a walking corpse.

However, Shana fell for Levi, but Levi didn't reciprocate her feelings. Levi's perception was extremely sharp, so he immediately saw through Shana's current situation. The chaotic and disordered aura within her indicated that she wasn't a virtuous person; even comparing her to a public bus was an understatement. A public bus couldn't adequately describe her chaotic life; a Tokyo train would be a more fitting description.

So, after sensing the other person's affection for him, Li Wei immediately got goosebumps; it was a bit unsettling.

Li Wei said, "Everyone is here now. Although you are not family, it's nice to have everyone together."

Li Wei's words struck the fallen angels as odd. It was strange that Li Wei, an ordinary person, would have the courage to speak to them like that.

After all, even if ordinary people don't know their true identities, seeing adults rushing into the house would generally evoke feelings of fear and panic, and these feelings would be expressed to some extent.

However, Li Wei remained completely calm. The male fallen angel thought to himself and realized that he had seen through Li Wei's little trick. He himself had used this kind of bluffing tactic before, so when he saw an ordinary person playing such a trick in front of him, he felt it was very absurd. This was probably what it meant to teach a fish to swim.

The male fallen angel said, "If Shana hadn't pleaded for you, I could have twisted your head off right now. You're just an ordinary person, yet you're better looking than us fallen angels. You're simply lawless."

Fallen angels are all quite proud beings, so they feel very displeased when they see a special being like Li Wei.

Li Wei laughed and said, "It seems you don't know me. That's good, because sometimes knowing too much can bring despair. Not knowing anything is a kind of happiness."

Li Wei snapped his fingers, and the male fallen angel standing at the front instantly turned to ash.

This scene stunned the fallen angels surrounding the two. In a single exchange, their "leader" was instantly killed. The male fallen angel, while not overwhelmingly stronger than them, was still significantly more powerful. The fact that even their leader was defeated meant that the opponent's strength far surpassed theirs. In a direct confrontation, they would be the ones to suffer.

Realizing this, the fallen angels did not communicate with each other, but they fled in unison, smashing the wooden walls of the inn to pieces and getting as far away from Levi as possible.

Li Wei laughed and said, "Since you're already here, why not sit down and have a cup of tea? Besides, you set up this barrier yourselves. Even if you want to run away, you'll have to be able to escape."

Breaking through a barrier like this from the inside out is extremely difficult. Moreover, the fallen angels were very confident in their operation, so none of their members remained outside; they all entered the barrier. However, this decision has now backfired spectacularly on them.

The entire hot spring hotel was dismantled into pieces, and all the pieces slowly floated upwards, exposing the fallen angels to Li Wei.

At this moment, all the fallen angels showed expressions of terror. The fallen angels' squad tactics were very sophisticated. When faced with an insurmountable situation, they dared to launch a "strategic advance" as long as there was no direct order from their superiors.

However, because of the barrier they themselves have set up, they can only frantically try to make holes in the barrier, hoping to create an opening, even one as small as a fingernail, so that they can escape.

This barrier was far too strong. It would take them more than three minutes to make a small hole in it, but they simply didn't have the ability to hold off Li Wei for that long.

The fallen angels' expressions changed from terror to despair.

Himejima Akeno, who was standing next to Li Wei, was not surprised to see this. She knew Li Wei's true strength. She knew that this kind of thing was like stepping on an ant for Li Wei, and there was nothing to be proud of.

Li Wei said, "Although you are merely following orders, offending me will have consequences. Therefore, I will grant you eternal peace."

The fallen angels knelt down and bowed deeply to Li Wei.

"Spare us, my lord! We are willing to offer our absolute loyalty, we only beg you to give us a chance!" the fallen angel cried out, his face pressed to the ground, not daring to look Li Wei in the eye.

Chapter 1. Annihilation

Looking at the fallen angels kneeling before him, Li Wei said, "Surrender to me? Interesting. I will certainly not be ruthless towards those who genuinely want to pledge allegiance to me."

Hearing Li Wei's words, the desperate fallen angels were overjoyed. The fear of death was like the last straw, breaking the camel's back. So when faced with Li Wei, whose strength was beyond their comprehension, they had no courage to fight. If they couldn't escape, they could only surrender, which was not shameful for fallen angels.

The loyalty of the Fallen Angels is extremely twisted. Their loyalty to powerful individuals of other races is more of a superficial formality. They are only loyal to their own race, and ultimately, they are only loyal to their own desires.

For fallen angels, absolute loyalty simply does not exist. In this respect, fallen angels are not even as good as demons, who are always seen as synonyms for cunning and cruelty.

Li Wei also had a considerable understanding of the fallen angels, because he not only thoroughly searched the great library of the demon race, but also the library of the fallen angels. Relying on the various knowledge and history recorded by the demon and angel races, Li Wei gained a relatively comprehensive understanding of this world.
