All the giant demons knelt down in their own ways, but even kneeling down, their size was still a "living mountain range" to the native demons. The only thing that could make these big guys look small was a mountain range as tall as the Himalayas in the human world.

Only by standing in front of the world's highest peaks, such as Mount Everest, can these behemoths appear somewhat shorter.

Li Wei said, "You are all people who have made mistakes, which is why you are in prison. However, your mistakes are not serious enough to warrant execution, which is why you have survived. Each of you faces a sentence of at least two hundred million years. Now I am giving you a chance to atone for your sins. Are you willing?"

The giant demons nodded hastily, each appearing somewhat restrained, like children who had done something wrong and were finally forgiven by their adults. To Sajax and the others, this scene was utterly jarring, but it also revealed the exalted status Levi held in the hearts of these giant demons.

Li Wei continued, "You've caused enough trouble before. It's time to give you some serious business to do. Next, you will form an alliance with the native demon race of this world. After all, you are all demons, so I don't think it will be a big problem for you to unite. What you need to do is help the demon race defend the demon realm and prevent its loss. If necessary, assist the demon race in fighting against external enemies."

Several giant demons nodded repeatedly, looking like they understood.

Li Wei said, "Don't worry, I won't let you work for nothing. If your performance this time is satisfactory to me, I can waive the rest of your sentences and grant you citizenship in the Empire."

Hearing this, the giant demons nodded their heads even faster. Although Sajax and the others were very curious about what Levi had said to the giant demons, they knew that it was not convenient to ask at this time, and even if they did ask, Levi might not answer them.

In any case, the current situation is not bad for the demon race. They have lost a few major enemies and gained a few powerful allies.

Li Wei said, "Next, you should find a suitable place in the Demon Realm to recover your strength. If another version of me comes looking for you, just silently say my name in your heart, and I will back you up."

Achuka whispered to Li Wei, "My lord, does the alliance ceremony require a written agreement? Although there is a huge difference in size between us, we can still create a giant contract."

The giant skeletal demon Abidas said, "Little one, there's no need for all this trouble. His Majesty's orders are the highest command for our actions, so there's no need to worry about any problems on our side. We are allies now. His Majesty has decided that we will be your allies, and we will never betray you. Documents and such are superfluous to us."

Achuka said, "What you say makes sense. In that case, there's no need to go through all that trouble."

Abidas said, "The magic you left behind that allows communication means we can maintain constant communication. Now we need to find a place to recuperate. The battle with those fallen angels took a toll on us, and we need a quiet place."

Chapter 4. The Traitor's End

After the alliance ceremony concluded, several giant demons left the venue, while Hector ruthlessly betrayed Theodora. Consequently, the demon alliance team hastily departed, eager to return and purge the traitor.

Previously, the two sides were in a hostile relationship, so the higher-ups in the Demon Realm were unaware of Theodora's betrayal. However, now that Hector, the giant demon, has revealed it himself, the traitor can no longer be allowed to continue to roam free.

Moreover, the four demon lords now know that Theodora has been tipping off Hector, leaking important secrets of the demon realm. This is why Hector's attacks caused such great destruction. Now that the truth is out, Theodora must pay the price for her actions.

Hector, as one of Livy's puppet clones, would naturally do such a thing at Livy's behest. Moreover, Theodora, a two-faced character, is an unstable factor in herself. Eliminating her here can be considered a relatively good ending for Theodora. After all, in the original story, Theodora was severely tortured before her death because she offended the original protagonist.

However, Li Wei thought that if he used Hector's alias to reveal Theodora's situation to the higher-ups of the Demon Realm, Theodora's fate would probably be even worse than in the original story.

After all, in the original story, Theodora at least got a quick death, but now, that's uncertain. The nobles of the Demon Realm are extremely strict in punishing traitors, and Theodora's previous actions have already caused considerable losses to the Demon Realm. Even if they can't squeeze any more out of Theodora to make up for the losses, the nobles won't let Theodora die easily. Theodora will definitely suffer extremely terrible torture, which is the inevitable punishment for a traitor.

As for Hector, who directly caused considerable losses to the Demon Realm, any demon nobles with a brain wouldn't cause trouble at this time, so the one who will be injured is Theodora.

After the alliance was formed, the several colossal creatures departed one by one. The local demons, watching these monsters that could easily alter the terrain and seeing the departing travelers off, all felt fortunate.

Li Wei said to everyone, "I don't need to manage anything here for now. I have some other things to take care of. Is there anything else you need me to do?"

Sajax said, "My lord, you have already helped us enough. For the time being, there is nothing of great importance in the Demon Realm that requires your intervention. The demon race also needs to learn to handle its own affairs independently and cannot rely on your assistance for everything."

Sajax knew very well, or rather, all four Demon Lords were quite astute, that to the Demon Realm, Li Wei was ultimately an outsider, and one destined to leave. Therefore, relying too much on Li Wei now would only create more problems. It was precisely because of this that Li Wei had only now been passively exposed to everyone.

After all, Li Wei's existence could no longer be hidden from the moment the evil version of Li Wei announced his arrival to the world. The more low-key Li Wei was before, the more attention he attracts now.

Li Wei said, "In that case, I'll return to the human realm first. The situation in the demon realm is up to you."

"Why don't you stay here a little longer?" Seraph said.

Seraph also had her own little schemes. The more time Levi spent in the Demon Realm, the more political messages she could send out, which was the situation she wanted to see as she was in charge of the Demon Realm's diplomacy.

The other three demon lords all looked at her, but none of them said anything. As the only woman among the four demon lords and also the one in charge of foreign teachers, Seraph's ideas were things they wanted to do but could not.

The four demon kings also noticed a small detail: Li Wei would be more gentle when facing women, and he wouldn't have such concerns when women raised questions that would make men feel awkward.

Li Wei said, "There are still a lot of messy things waiting for me in the human world. I also want to stay in the demon realm for a while, but the situation doesn't allow it."

Seraph said, "That's a real shame. Once this turmoil has passed, please make sure to visit the Siddi family. By the way, my good-for-nothing sister is also at Kuoh Academy. If possible, could you please look after her for a while? The Siddi family will be at your beck and call."

Li Wei said, "I understand. This kind of thing is nothing to me. As for being at your beck and call, forget it. What I have to do is far beyond your capabilities. If I were to hand those things over to you, I would be harming you."

Li Wei would indeed not entrust those tasks to the demon race, because those were all dirty jobs. It was not impossible for members of the demon race to do them, but after completing such work, they would be immediately silenced by him.

Moreover, Li Wei possesses the ability to create puppet clones. As long as his own thought processes can handle it, he can simultaneously control a large number of puppet clones, making him essentially an entire force. Therefore, he doesn't need any subordinates, and the tasks he needs to do are not suitable for others to handle.

After returning to the Gremory family mansion and saying goodbye to Rias and Akeno Himejima, Li Wei returned to the human world, where he was about to begin reaping the rewards of his labor.

Li Wei has now escalated the situation to an unprecedented level. Since he's seeking thrills, he's determined to see it through to the end. He won't be satisfied until he's wiped out all the gods and demons of this world, since these are living, breathing cultivation methods that can accelerate his progress, and he can't afford to give them up so easily.

After returning to the human world, Li Wei focused his attention on the evil clone that was still active.

Now, Li Wei has the spatial coordinates of many pantheons, and he has located the god-kings of each pantheon. As long as he keeps an eye on these god-kings, the entire opposing pantheon will be caught.

Li Wei publicly claimed that he had already restrained his other self, so the evil version of himself would not act rashly. However, the evil version of himself also had a giant fallen angel puppet under his command, a force that he could handle in most situations.

Currently, Li Wei does not plan to create more elite puppets. Although he can control his thought processes, creating elite puppets requires a lot of resources. Just like investment has diminishing returns, the rewards this world can offer Li Wei are not unlimited. Therefore, it is appropriate for Li Wei to get things done with the existing power.

Chapter 1. The Moments of the Calamity Group

The evil version of Levi now uses Europe as his base of operations. What was originally just the Great Ying Empire has become a bloody hell, but now the entire European region has turned into that horrific state. Although the small monsters are extremely weak in combat, only able to bully modern armies of ordinary people, they are weaklings when facing the armies of the gods. But if they can achieve this effect, the monsters can consider that they have completed their mission.

The evil version of Levi's next move doesn't intend to target Europe, where pantheons are concentrated. If the power in the human world is centered around Asia, with other countries relatively weaker, then in terms of the balance of power among pantheons, Europe is where pantheons are concentrated, while Asia and North America have far fewer pantheons.

In Asia, the sheer size of the Heavenly Court above the heads of the nations is overwhelming. Most pantheons would rather hide than risk their lives when faced with such a colossus.

In North America, there aren't many powerful pantheons native to the continent. Most are small pantheons that survive in the margins. After all, North America is, to some extent, the territory of the European pantheon. Therefore, the missionary work of these small pantheons in North America is restricted, and some of their churches have even been labeled as cults.

Large pantheons cannot push these smaller pantheons too hard, otherwise they could easily unite and form a massive monster. At that time, the old and powerful pantheons of Europe would be the ones to be troublesome.

So in places like Afghanistan, Canada, and Mexico, there are all sorts of religious beliefs, even beliefs in aliens and the Faithful God. Don't think such beliefs are ridiculous. Small pantheons, in order to harvest their own faith, can only disguise their churches as some strange things, or even disguise them as various subcultures.

The Tianyi Mian Shen Cult is such a combination, and the American-style Iaijutsu Association, which is very popular in America, also has the shadow of gods and demons behind it. It can be said that in this world, gods and demons have intervened in human life in various ways and used this method to absorb human emotions and condense them into faith energy.

Faith is not a necessity for gods and demons, but rather a luxury item. It is like tobacco, alcohol, and cola to them, possessing a certain degree of addictiveness. That is why gods and demons are so fond of faith energy, and even do things that seem quite strange to humans in order to collect faith.

Besides the Takamagahara pantheon, Japan also has other pantheons, such as the island god pantheon of Ryukyu Island. This pantheon is very weak, and all its members are goddesses. It is also one of the few pantheons that is completely friendly to humans. So when Linde caused a ruckus in Japan, he turned a blind eye to this minor pantheon.

This little pantheon is incredibly shameful. How shameful? Because it can't compete with other pantheons in terms of genuine faith, it has resorted to a different approach: idol culture. The entire pantheon has become a group of goddesses, and they've even started an agency to support more young girls to become idols. They use this method to capture the excitement of young people and channel it into faith energy.

The traditional Japanese pantheons, which had previously been eradicated, had entered a mature stage of faith harvesting because they had been operating in Japan for a considerable period of time. Even people sitting at home received a constant influx of faith energy every day. Island pantheons, on the other hand, were different. Because they lacked public recognition and dared not promote themselves, they could only rely on subcultures and idol culture to harvest faith.

Recently, the island god system has created virtual idols, adding another way to gain faith energy, which is commendable. Unfortunately, it is still embarrassing.

Levi had already dragged all the fallen angel avatars to North America, where they began causing trouble. Taking advantage of the weakest link, Levi attached the Soul-Sweeping Bell to a giant fallen angel puppet and began a massive purge of the North American pantheon.

In just two days, most of the smaller pantheons native to North America were wiped out, leaving only a few survivors. However, these survivors were deliberately spared by Levi. Unlike the evil version of Levi who turned Europe into a living hell, the giant fallen angel puppets deliberately avoided humans when they made their moves, minimizing human losses as much as possible.

This is also the persona that Li Wei created for these giant fallen angel puppets. Because when the giant fallen angel puppets caused havoc in the Norse pantheon, they had already expressed their disgust for the gods. So they sent a message to the outside world that these giant fallen angel puppets did not submit to the evil version of Li Wei, but were forced to pledge allegiance to the evil version of Li Wei due to violence.

··· ·Requesting flowers···· ··

Li Wei didn't expect everyone to notice such details, but some intelligent people should be able to sense the anomaly. If they were bold enough, they might even try to turn the giant fallen angel puppet against them, although doing so would be pointless.

........................

The evil version of Livy sat on the throne of broken bones in his palace built of flesh and blood. The palace, which was usually devoid of any living beings except for monsters, was now filled with a few visitors, bringing a bit of life to the place.

The evil version of Li Wei looked at the group below with interest and said, "This is really interesting. Everyone else is trying to avoid me, but you have the guts to come and ask to see me. You've got guts. I'm in a good mood now. Tell me what you're here for. Your words will determine whether you leave here alive."

.. . .......

The people standing on the main hall were members of the Calamity Clan. The Calamity Clan believed themselves to be the rightful heirs of the Demon Realm. As descendants of the first Demon King, although their strength could not match that of the four current Demon Kings, they far surpassed ordinary high-ranking demons and were no different from ordinary gods. However, they, who should have inherited the Demon Realm, had their power usurped by the current four Demon Kings.

Ironically, after ascending to the throne, the four demon kings used the names of their ancestors. This feeling of having their bloodline and existence taken away filled the members of the Calamity Gang with both disgust and fear. As a result, the descendants of the four former demon kings formed the Calamity Gang, but this organization was also classified as a terrorist organization by the demon realm, making them pariahs in the demon world.

This is an internal power struggle within the Demon Realm. Among the four current Demon Kings, Seraph is skilled in manipulating the power dynamics and diplomacy, thus firmly controlling the discourse. The Calamity Clan once tried to defend themselves and prove that they were the descendants of the first Demon King and the rightful heirs.

However, Seraph firmly suppressed the Horror Group in terms of discourse power. Over time, even if the Horror Group was not a terrorist organization, it would become one.

The appearance of the evil version of Li Wei gave the members of the Calamity Clan hope for a turnaround.

Chapter 1. Making the Most of Resources

The pedestrians of the Calamity Clan felt immense pressure, especially from the mocking gaze of the evil version of Levi, which instilled fear in their hearts.

Although they were designated as a terrorist organization by the higher-ups of the demon realm, they were actually just special individuals whose strength surpassed that of ordinary high-ranking demons. In terms of raw power, they were nothing special.

The evil version of Levi on the throne also possesses some of the original's abilities, so he can easily sense the strength of the members of the Calamity Clan below, which, to be honest, is quite weak.

The member of the Calamity Clan has not yet stolen the power of the Infinite Dragon God, so his strength is only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary high-ranking demon. Although he can crush high-ranking demons, he is still like an ant when facing the four Demon Kings.

Now, instead of targeting the Infinite Dragon God, the members of the Calamity Clan have come to him. It has to be said, fate is truly a wondrous thing.

However, this member of the Calamity Gang was actually not very strong. In the original story, even though he obtained the power of the Infinite Dragon God called "Snake," which made a leap in his strength, his opponent was overpowered. As a result, the entire Calamity Gang was defeated.

There is no absolute justice or evil in this world. The dark history of the four Demon Kings is that they gained their positions illegitimately. Although the Demon Realm is a place where strength speaks, there are still unspoken rules that must be followed within the noble class. However, the rise of these four Demon Kings has already broken these unspoken rules. Newer generations like Rias and Akeno Himejima are unaware of this, but older noble demons know how the Demon King positions of Sajax and others came about.

However, as the saying goes, the Demon Realm is a place where strength reigns supreme. Although the power grab by Sajax and others was problematic in itself, the four Demon Kings of this generation are exceptionally powerful and have done a lot of practical work for the noble class. Therefore, the noble class has tacitly accepted the power of the four Demon Kings.

The Calamity Clan has no connections within the Noble Community because their strength is insufficient to bring them enough benefits. The Noble Demons are very pragmatic, and the current Demon King, who can bring them benefits, is more in line with their needs. The Calamity Clan, whose strength is not enough to command respect, would face numerous problems even if they regained the Demon King's throne, and would be unable to fully utilize their abilities.

The simplest point is that in external wars, the members of the Calamity Clan cannot guarantee that the Demon Race will have a good chance of winning. This alone makes the Calamity Clan's so-called legitimate successor status quite awkward.

The composition of the Calamity Clan is quite complex, including members from the old aristocratic forces as well as commoner demons who want to change the status quo of the demon world. At least at this stage, their interests are aligned.

Sherpa Beelzebub, a descendant of Beelzebub, stepped forward and said, “Your Majesty, we have come to offer you the most wonderful performance. In your eyes, everything in this world is a lowly farce. If that is the case, we are willing to become your puppets and add a bit of absurdity and humor to your enjoyment.”

The evil version of Li Wei laughed and said, "I like what you said. That's right, this is all just a game of chess. I have the upper hand now, but I like to see more changes. You guys are a good variable."

Upon hearing the words of the evil version of Levi, everyone showed excited expressions, even Sherpa Beelzebub, who was usually calm and collected, was overjoyed. However, Sherpa dared not lose his composure in front of the evil version of Levi, so he could only restrain himself.

The evil version of Levi rested his chin on his hand and said, "I'm not that kind of guy. I don't have so many rules. My rule is that the people below have to be interesting enough. So right now you've just received your grades. If you're not interesting enough, I'll personally make you more interesting."

Seeing the morbid smile on the face of the evil version of Li Wei, everyone's heart skipped a beat. Working under him would certainly be thrilling. Thinking of the tragedies in Europe, this emperor was not as easy to talk to as the others.

If it weren't for the desire to reclaim control of the Demon Realm and return to orthodoxy, they would have preferred to join the normal version of Li Wei. Unfortunately, the normal version of Li Wei has already chosen the current Demon Realm, so they have no choice but to seek refuge with this "abnormal" version of Li Wei.

However, this Li Wei is a lunatic. Working for a boss like that is inherently risky. You might get extra rewards, but more likely you'll be abandoned because your abilities can't meet the boss's needs, or even become a pawn for his amusement...

However, the members of the Calamity Gang were mentally prepared for this; in fact, they were prepared to pay a price for changing the status quo of the Demon Realm. Although the team wasn't exactly united, and each member had their own agenda, their interests were aligned in overthrowing the current Demon King's rule.
