But the moment it touched the ground, it turned into black smoke and dissipated.
There was no bang, and even the blood that had splattered was gone.
"Interesting, it can actually hide from my perception."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Qingqiu confirmed his thoughts that Diodora Astarte was not dead.
"Sorry, Ryuuko, let's stop here today. I'll take you home."
Qingqiu buried his murderous intent deep in his heart and gently comforted the frightened girl.
As for what kind of magic or special power Diodora Astarte used, he would find out more about it later.
Chapter 493: The Devouring Snake
"Okay, Qingqiu...Brother."
Nimura Ryuruko felt regretful, but she also knew the importance of the matter.
After sending the girl home safely, Qingqiu simply rushed home.
After careful thought, he roughly remembered who Diodora was.
Diodora Astarte, a demon of the younger generation, is clearly a demon, but her XP is a nun complex.
Asia was expelled from the church because she saved him.
And he had planned the whole thing just to have the opportunity to defile Asia.
This is all Qingqiu knows about him. He only watched the plot of the animation at the beginning, and the later the episodes, the less he remembered because they were not as attractive as the earlier ones.
I didn't expect that even though the world line has shifted so much, this perverted nun-obsessed man is still obsessed with Asia.
After Asia was expelled from the church, before Diodora could launch another offensive, she met Qingqiu and was targeted by Amano Yuma.
After a series of events, by the time he found another opportunity, Asia had already practiced dual cultivation with Qingqiu countless times.
Back home, Qingqiu found Rias, called the girls to the living room, and explained what happened.
"Um...Mr. Qingqiu, Minister..."
Asia lowered her eyes and said softly, "Actually, I also met this person after school today..."
"Asia, he didn't do anything to you, did he?" Qingqiu asked unhappily.
Seeing that it was impossible to defeat Qingqiu by force, he actually wanted to exchange all the nuns he had for Asia.
Qingqiu felt sick when he thought about this.
Even if he met a beautiful woman who was beyond his reach, he would not exchange his woman for her.
If he remembered correctly, Theodora's women were his dependents, and they were all pure nuns who were taken into his possession by him through trickery.
"No." Asia shook her head slightly and smiled, "Although I'm not very good at fighting, I'm already a demon king. Even if he wants to do something, he doesn't have the ability to do it."
Although Diodora's method of escape was bizarre, his fighting power was actually that of an ordinary upper-level demon.
Before going to find Qingqiu, Diodora found an opportunity to talk to Asia alone, using all kinds of affectionate confessions and reminiscing about the past.
Unfortunately, it was of no use at all.
In the end, he wanted to take advantage of her by kissing her hand, but was directly rejected by Asia.
When he had no other choice, he went to Qingqiu and asked for an exchange.
"That person said that he was the demon I saved. It was because of saving him that I was expelled from the church. Now he wants to repay me and is willing to marry me..."
Asia briefly explained the cause of the matter, and seemed to be worried that Qingqiu would be unhappy, so she added: "Of course, I have clearly refused, but I didn't expect that he would actually go to Mr. Qingqiu..."
Qingqiu smiled and reached out to hold Asia in his arms.
Asia had a happy smile on her face, which was more helpful than any words of comfort.
"Diodora is the next head of the Astarte family, the famous family from which the current Demon King, Lord Beelzebub, came."
Rias rested her chin on one hand and thought, "I didn't expect it to be related to Asia."
The next head of another demon family...
Qingqiu secretly complained in his heart.
His prediction turned out to be correct. This person is not only of a high status, he is probably the second generation of the Demon King.
"Actually, I don't have much impression of him, and I don't remember his face very clearly."
After being stared at by everyone and calming down, the little blonde nun became shy.
Gently breaking free from the embrace, she said, "Because there were a lot of sad things back then..."
It was because she saved Diodora that Asia was expelled from the church that adopted her since childhood and then targeted by the fallen angels.
Qingqiu understood clearly that all this was Diodora's conspiracy, but he had intercepted it.
But others don’t know that as the next head of the famous Astarte family, his reputation, or disguise, has always been very good.
"To save his girl, he was willing to make that kind of promise. It really seems like a gentleman like Diodora."
"It's okay, don't worry about it." Rias touched Asia's head and comforted her.
"Well, I see."
Of course, Rias would not doubt Qingqiu's words, but after being deceived by the disguise, she just thought that Diodora made the decision reluctantly for his beloved.
In fact, it was simply because Theodora was tired of playing with that group of nuns.
Moreover, Asia, who is now at the level of a demon king and still believes in God, is extremely tempting to him, so he risked his life to find Qingqiu.
Qingqiu glanced at him and said calmly, "That person is not that simple. Everyone should be careful recently."
Diodora couldn't even beat Asia, and as the next head of the family, he didn't dare to act recklessly, which made Qingqiu less worried.
As for the question of character, Rias would indeed believe it if he said it.
But rather than speaking it out loud, it is better to let them witness it with their own eyes, so that they can better understand what it means to know a person’s face but not his heart, and then remember this lesson deeply.
The girls looked at Qing Qiu curiously, especially Rias.
However, seeing that Qingqiu didn't want to say more, he indicated that he understood and didn't ask any more questions.
"While everyone is here, I'd like to make an announcement."
Rias' voice became serious, and her eyes swept over everyone, focusing mainly on the people in the Shinkensha, or rather her followers.
"The Rating Game will be held next week..."
"Ranking game? With whom?"
"Not with anyone, but a tournament."
Under the strange gazes of the girls, Rias slowly said, "This is a tournament to determine the strength of the new devils who will shoulder the responsibility of the next generation."
"If it weren't for Loki's attack, it should have been held right after the alliance was formed. This is why all the young leaders came to the alliance site at that time."
"A new demon..."
Qingqiu looked around and found that almost all of them were rookie demons. However, not to mention the girls from the God Research Society, even Yubelluna and her group who had not been fully cured were at the upper level among the younger generation of demons.
Isn't it really a dimensionality reduction attack if they go and participate?
Even Sairaorg, the strongest demon of the new generation, is probably only at god-level strength and is no match for Qingqiu.
As if she had seen through Qingqiu's thoughts, Rias immediately said, "But we don't have to participate, because our strength is no longer in the same dimension, and the battle with Loki has proven it."
Having all members at the devil level is indeed too unfriendly to others, but there is nothing wrong with this arrangement.
"What about Sairaorg? His strength is overwhelming for the others, right?"
Qing Qiu asked with a frown.
Of course it's a good thing that he doesn't have to participate, but unfortunately, besides Rias, Sona Shichiro is also his 'king'.
Although his strength has been improved, he still cannot match Sona's strength to fight Sairaorg.
Although the ranking game will not die, at most it will be half dead, but that is not what he wants to see.
"Ranking games look at overall strength. Although Sairaorg is strong personally, his followers are actually okay."
Rias explained, "So I specifically said this, firstly to let everyone know about this, and secondly, for you, Qingqiu."
After exchanging a glance with Rias, Qing Qiu reacted.
"Minister, do you mean that I can participate as a dependent of President Cang Na?"
"Yes, Sona and the others have improved a lot in recent times, and this tournament is a good chance to test them."
"I understand. I won't take action unless it's necessary."
"Since I don't have to participate, I don't know anything else about the tournament."
Rias smiled, "There's not much time left until the competition. You can stay at Sona's place for the time being. You don't have to worry about Asia's affairs. Because Diodora Astarte will also participate."
"it is good."
At the same time, Diodora, who had escaped back to the demon world, sat in the study with his eyes closed, muttering to himself: "Asia Agito, I will not give up."
The ranking game is about to begin. This is a great opportunity, but unfortunately Asia, as Rias's follower, will not participate.
In that case...
three days later.
In the activity room of the Divine Research Society, a green magic circle lit up.
"Astarte..."
Rias put down the book in her hand, looked at the magic circle and spoke slowly.
Asia was stunned for a moment and began to get nervous.
Although his strength has become much stronger, his character is still kind and gentle.
Diodora's story was about her darkest experience. Even though she had let it go, she couldn't completely ignore it.
"Greetings everyone, I am Diodora Astarte."
Diodora narrowed her eyes and said to the girls in the activity room with a smile: "I have something to say. I hope to exchange monks."
Asia was obviously stunned. After failing to exchange with Qingqiu, he actually went directly to Rias to exchange followers this time.
Dependents can not only be rented, but also exchanged, which Qingqiu only found out later.
Qingqiu is nominally Rias's dependent and must obey her.
But if Rias would do that, she wouldn't be Rias.
It could be considered as Diodora's good fortune that Qing Qiu was not currently in the God Research Society, but was with Shitori Sona, helping her and the girls of the Student Council to train in preparation for the upcoming tournament.
Rias looked directly at Diodora coldly, "You want Asia, right?"
"Haha, you're really easy to talk to."
Diodora moved her fingers slightly, and two miniature magic circles unfolded, with two projections of cute and noble girls appearing on them.
"This deal is definitely not bad. After all, what I'm preparing is..."
Rias didn't even finish listening to his words, and interrupted decisively: "Sorry, I don't have that intention."
"Asia is an important member of my family, and I treat her as my younger sister."
"minister……"
Asia, who was standing by, was deeply moved, and tears of hope slowly accumulated in her big emerald eyes.
"A woman who actually wants to get a marriage proposal through a deal, do you really understand the meaning of a marriage proposal?"
Talking to Diodora up close for the first time, Rias finally understood what Qingqiu meant that day.
