On how PhDs become human evil

“Zeus, as I said before I came here, [this intimidation is sufficient].”

Bai Jie spoke, his eyes filled with barely suppressed terror.

"The kind of intimidation I'm referring to isn't the half-baked show of force you just gave me. Rather, I believe that using you as an example to give the world a proper warning is sufficient."

"Chen told me that she has quite a few suitors in this world. Although I would deal with any number of them as long as it's for Chen's sake, that would be too cumbersome. If possible, it would be better to deal with them all at once."

"So, you, the first unlucky one to arrive, will serve as a sacrifice for me to establish my authority."

The magic that stretched to the heavens changed, as if an invisible brush had been dipped in magical ink. Gradually, an incredibly large crimson magic circle appeared in the sky, containing not only runes but also ancient Egyptian and Greek characters... The mystery of almost every ancient civilization could be revealed in the magic circle!

This is a magic circle that incorporates the mysteries of the world!

No, it can't be called fusion. The world civilization embodied by the magic circle is being devoured at an alarming rate by the star located at the core of the magic circle!

"Did you know that there was once a comet called Predator, which appeared in the Milky Way galaxy with a cycle of 14,000 years?"

"Its form is like 'tearful eyes,' and wherever it goes, all civilizations are destroyed. In the distant age of gods, predatory planets also descended upon Earth, nearly destroying the civilization of the age of gods."

As far as Bai Jie knows, Earth's civilization in the Type-Moon universe has two possible outcomes.

One possibility is that the Steel Lands will meet their end, with UOs from other planets arriving on Earth and bringing about an unprecedented mass extinction for humanity.

The second type is the predatory planetary predator. Compared to the first type, the predatory planetary predator poses a much greater threat because it targets not only Earth, but also any civilization it seeks to destroy.

Therefore, by extracting the concept of "preying on wandering stars [destroying civilization]", this spell constructed by Bai Jie also possesses the highest level of special attack against the world! Gods, demons, monsters, as long as it is a civilization in this world, it will inevitably be targeted and attacked by this spell!

Its name is—

"【Teardrop Photon Ray】—Activate the spell!"

Red, green, and blue.

The three-colored radiance of destruction converged at the core of the magic circle, devouring the civilization and mystery of the entire world, and sublimating into a blow that could even destroy the world!

"Use your souls to feel it! The 'Crimson Dragon Martial Emperor' you speak of is my wife and lover, Bai Jie's wife. You despicable scoundrels who dare to lay a hand on her, look directly into this abyss of demonic ways!"

Bai Jie's voice was like a divine decree, and the shattered rainbow light fell from the sky!

World, feel the pain!

Section 269, Part 5: No classes on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons, awesome!

"You defeated Zeus, the king of the Greek gods, with a single blow, and also destroyed most of the Demon King's territory. You truly leave me speechless with astonishment, Lord Bai Jie."

The location was inside the Department of Paranormal Research, and the time was two months after the battle with Zeus.

Because of Bai Jie's relationship with Zeus, the Demon King's Palace was completely destroyed on the spot, and even more than 80% of the Demon King's territory was destroyed, causing enormous losses—and this was only from one of Bai Jie's attacks.

Now, having finally completed the reconstruction work, Sazex has taken some time to visit the Department of Paranormal Research.

Sitting on the sofa and taking a sip of coffee, Bai Jie smiled and said, "Well, to avoid being targeted by other guys in the future, I felt it was necessary to give this world a significant impact. In terms of results, it did achieve the effect I wanted."

Upon hearing this, Sazex's wry smile deepened.

After Bai Jie defeated Zeus in one blow, all the mythological forces in the world knew that the Red Dragon Emperor's man was a powerful figure with such strength, and those who originally wanted to come and cause trouble for Bai Jie all shut their mouths.

After all, not everyone can defeat a mythical god-king with a single blow. In terms of strength, Bai Jie has already surpassed 99% of the world's strongest individuals, and is conservatively estimated to be among the top ten in the world.

"Both of you are among the top ten strongest people in the world. You two are truly terrifying."

"Speaking like that from your mouth is utterly unconvincing. If you're so capable, then don't suppress your power." Bai Jie rolled his eyes at Sazex, annoyed. "You're just trying to cover it up. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the terrifying destructive magic within you."

Although it was well concealed, Bai Jie still discerned the power that Sazex had been suppressing at first glance. In terms of nature, it was a power very similar to that of the Predator Star, even though the two powers were not on the same level.

In other words, the power within Sazex is essentially destructive, and it's a destructive force that's not much weaker than Chen's. If it weren't for Sazex's suppression and allowed to be released, it's likely that wherever Sazex goes, destruction will follow.

Top ten in the world? Sazex could easily make it into that list if he wanted to.

With a smile and a shrug, Sazex said, "You overestimate me. I'm content as long as I can protect the Underworld. Competing for world rankings is of no use to me."

"Alright, enough of the small talk. I've come here to ask you for a favor."

"You're asking me for a favor?" Bai Jie frowned. For Sazex, with his strength and status, to need to ask him for a favor meant that the matter was beyond Sazex's personal capabilities, or perhaps it wasn't something one person could decide. "Tell me about it?"

"Actually, I've been planning a three-way meeting between demons, fallen angels, and angels recently, hoping to achieve peaceful coexistence among the three forces."

Demons, fallen angels, angels.

These are the three most powerful forces in the biblical mythological system. From the distant mythological era to the present, the three forces have been engaged in an endless war until the underworld launched a major coup and the new four great demon kings, led by Sazex, came to power. Only then did the situation between the three parties ease somewhat, but the relationship remains tense.

Is Sazex now actually trying to achieve peaceful coexistence among the three major powers?

Seeing through Bai Jie's thoughts, Sazex laughed and said, "This wasn't my idea alone. A few days ago, the governor of the Fallen Angels secretly visited me, and he was the one who proposed the tripartite talks."

"The governor of the fallen angels...Azazel?"

“It’s incredible, isn’t it? Fallen angels are generally synonymous with evil, yet Azazel, the leader of the bad guys, took the initiative to propose peaceful coexistence. I thought I misheard him at the time.” Sazex shrugged. “However, I think Azazel’s statement has a deep connection with you.”

"...You mean he was intimidated by my strength?"

“Everyone in the world knows that I have a good relationship with Chen. I am one of the few people who can be called her friends. In fact, in the past, whenever the underworld encountered trouble, Chen was always the first to come to help. And now that you are Chen’s husband, your position is naturally to follow Chen’s—that seems to be the view in the world now.”

"I see. Even though we're not official members of the Underworld, Chen and I are still considered to be on the Underworld's side. If you're included, the Underworld has at least three world-class combat forces. No wonder the Fallen Angels took the initiative to sue for peace."

No matter how much time has passed, no matter what era it is, might makes right is always the ultimate truth. As long as you have power that no one in the world can match, then you are the boss!

"So I was dragged onto your ship by accident?" Bai Jie was both amused and exasperated. He could only say that people in this world were incredibly imaginative. "But whatever, I'm just killing time anyway, what do you need me for?"

“I hope you and Chen can act as witnesses and a deterrent,” Sazex said. “Although we are supposed to conclude a peace treaty, it could be breached at any time. No two factions are monolithic, and there will definitely be people who do not want peace. I hope that your presence and Chen’s can suppress those dissenting voices.”

"If it's just to this extent, you can do it yourselves, right?"

"It's better to be safe than sorry."

After listening to Sazex's words, Bai Jie couldn't help but ponder. Overall, this matter wouldn't have a significant impact on him. There were no benefits or drawbacks; at most, it would just add another identity to his already numerous ones, which was harmless. The only thing he needed to do was deal with the potential unrest that might occur after the peace treaty was concluded.

Bai Jie thought that no one would be so foolish as to cause trouble.

"Okay, I agree. By the way, when do you plan to hold the trilateral talks? I'd like to make sure I have the time available."

"It's tentatively scheduled for next week. At that time, Kuoh Academy will be holding a parent visit day, which is a rare opportunity to see Rias's life in the human world. I thought I'd take the opportunity to hold the three-way meeting here."

By the way... peace between the three major powers is less important to Sazex than his sister's educational visit, that damn siscon.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Bai Jie, besides the tripartite talks, there is another matter I hope you can help with."

"what?"

"I hope you can become Rias and her familiars' teacher. Of course, I will pay you in the form of employment, not as the Demon King Lucifer, but as your brother Sirzechs. That is my request."

Section 270, paragraph 6. The devil, absolutely the devil!

In the underworld, deep in the mountains of the Gremory family territory, Rias and the Gremory Familia stood in an open space in front of a villa, each wearing sportswear made for ease of movement.

In front of everyone, Bai Jie and Chen Zheng looked at the crowd.

"Because Sazex asked me to do this, starting today, Chen and I will jointly be your teachers until you can stand on your own. My name is Bai Jie, please take care of me."

As Bai Jie spoke, he picked up a branch from the ground and pointed it at the Gremory family.

"Although I said I was going to teach you, I know nothing about your strength right now, so you will fight my men first and let me see how strong you are. — Noin, Brunhilde, come out."

A silver magic circle appeared behind Bai Jie, and with a burst of light, Noin and Brunhilde, dressed in silver armor, stepped out of the magic circle.

As soon as she was summoned, Brunhilde looked at Bai Jie with a resentful gaze: "My lord, you actually still remember the existence of us Valkyries? I thought you had forgotten about us."

“Because I’ve been fighting against beings at the level of gods lately, I can’t let you guys be cannon fodder. Also, I wanted to experience a solo adventure a while ago, so naturally I couldn’t call you,” Bai Jie said. “Besides, now that I’ve brought you out, stop complaining and help me test these guys’ strength. Noin, you too, and where are you looking at me!”

After being reprimanded by Bai Jie, Brunhilde and Noin immediately went to Rias and the others. Both of them were dual-wielding warriors who were proficient in both magic and swordsmanship, so there was no need to worry about whether they would be incompatible.

Watching Brunhilde and Noin—or rather, Noin—start fighting Rias and the others, Chen suddenly said, "Bai Jie, explain to me why that Noin guy smells like you?"

"Um... Chen, can we talk about this later?"

It wasn't that Bai Jie didn't want to speak, but this was the moment when he was establishing his authority as a teacher. If he were to be reprimanded by Chen at this time, his image as a teacher would be shattered on the spot.

Chen pinched Bai Jie's waist and said with a smile, "Tell me!"

"...Don't hit me after you hear that, it won't kill me but it will still hurt."

"It depends on what you're saying. You know I'm not a forgiving woman."

He took a deep breath and thought that since he was going to die sooner or later anyway, he might as well die quickly now: "Actually, in the world I went to before, there was a god who liked to cause trouble. I couldn't stand it and wanted to beat him up. But that god didn't know what got into him and actually used a honey trap to deal with me. Noin was sent to me by him. He was a puppet he created."

"At that time, I was in a state of self-sealing, and I couldn't use any magic at all. Then I was rubbed and pressed down by 20,000 Noin on the bed."

"Twenty thousand?!"

Even Chen was shocked by this number. Ever since he smelled Bai Jie's scent on Nuoyin, Chen knew that Bai Jie had cheated on him again, but he never expected that he had cheated 20,000 times!

His trembling hand rested on the Crimson Sky Sword at his waist, and Chen's entire body erupted in crimson dragon flames: "You bastard... not only are you incorrigible, but you actually did it to me twenty thousand times..."

"Not my wife! Let me explain!"

"Enough talk. This isn't going to be resolved by kneeling on a washboard. You'll die hundreds of times over! Chixiao, draw your sword!"

"Whoa!!!"

As Chen drew his sword, the crimson dragon swept past Bai Jie's feet, creating a five-meter-deep ravine in the earth and blasting a nearby mountain into the sky.

Looking at the ditch at his feet with lingering fear, Bai Jie realized that Chen was truly angry this time! And no less so than when he found out about his relationship with Cecilia back then!

Today, I'm afraid I really am going to die hundreds of times over.

Holding the Crimson Cloud, Chen Jugao approached Bai Jie, his body radiating a dragon-shaped crimson flame, and raised the Crimson Cloud high above him!

"boom--!"

The Dragon Emperor's attack struck immediately!

"Ughh ...

The wails of a certain scumbag echoed deep in the mountains.

--------------------------

In the afternoon, because the original site was destroyed by the enraged Chen, Bai Jie could only lead Rias and the others to another hilltop.

Looking at Bai Jie, whose entire body was perfectly fine, Rias couldn't help but ask curiously, "Teacher Bai Jie, did Teacher Chen... hit you?"
