"But they're just a bunch of clowns driven by desire. They can't stand up to the Great Red." Gu Bo frowned. He couldn't understand Orpheus's thoughts. "Why do you pin your hopes on them?"

"I..." Orpheus opened his mouth, as if he wanted to explain something, but he didn't know how to start.

A rare struggle flashed in her empty black eyes.

"You just... don't want to wait any longer, right?" Gu Bo said softly, with a hint of understanding in his tone.

As the infinite dragon god who controls everything, he was exiled from his "home" in his endless life.

What is it like for Orpheus during these endless years?

He could understand Orpheus's feelings, his eagerness to return to his homeland.

The loneliness and helplessness of being exiled are enough to make any powerful being feel confused and exhausted.

Orpheus did not answer, but just looked at Gu Bo quietly. His black eyes were like a bottomless whirlpool, as if to suck people's souls in.

"The wait... has been too long..." After a long moment, Orpheus spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of fatigue that was difficult to conceal.

"I need an opportunity, an opportunity that will allow me to return to my hometown."

Her voice remained calm, yet held a subtle hint of persistence. "Although the Misfortune Group is weak, it can provide me with some necessary assistance."

"help?"

"So you're not afraid of being taken advantage of?"

"That's just an accessory," Orpheus said calmly, "My goal has always been only one."

"Return to the dimensional rift and defeat the Great Red..."

“That’s a truly ambitious goal.”

Gu Bo took over Orpheus' words, his purple eyes flashing with complex light.

"……Um."

After a long time, Orpheus nodded gently.

After receiving Orpheus's affirmation, a faint smile appeared on Gu Bo's lips. He knew that he had successfully taken the first step. The next step was how to implement his plan.

"Then let's talk about the specific details of the cooperation." Gu Bo said, his tone full of confidence.

Next, Cooper and Orpheus discussed the details of the cooperation. During the discussion, Cooper put forward his own ideas and plans, while Orpheus offered his own opinions and suggestions from time to time.

The two chatted with each other and the atmosphere was very harmonious - at least that's what Gu Bo thought.

In Cooper's detailed explanation.

Orpheus gradually gained a detailed understanding of Cooper's plan.

Time passes unconsciously.

When the two finished their discussion, it was already dark outside.

"It's getting late, I should go back." Gu Bo stood up and said to Orpheus.

Asking for flowers

"Yeah." Orpheus nodded and didn't try to persuade him to stay.

She stood up and brought Gu Bai to the entrance of the hall.

"Remember your promise." Orpheus looked at Gu Bo and said softly, "I...wait for that day to come."

"Don't worry, I won't let you down."

Gu Bo smiled slightly.

Ophis nodded, then raised his right hand and waved it gently.

A black light shot out from her fingertips, drew a graceful arc in the void, and finally landed on Gu Bo.

Gu Bo only felt a strange energy surging into his body, quickly flowing throughout his body, and finally gathered at the back of his hand, forming a mark.

"what is this?"

Gu Bo looked at Orpheus in surprise.

"This is the mark I leave for you."

"As long as you silently recite my name in your heart, I will appear."

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Gu Bo looked down at the back of his hand and saw a black mark there. The mark was shaped like a closed circle, connected from beginning to end, forming a perfect cycle.

"Ouroboros?" Gu Bo murmured softly. He recognized the origin of this mark. It was the Ouroboros, a symbol of infinite reincarnation, and also the symbol of Orpheus.

"Indeed." Orpheus nodded slightly. "This is part of my power. Through it, you can contact me at any time."

"I understand." Gu Bo nodded and memorized the mark firmly in his mind. He knew that this mark was not just a simple way to contact him, but also a sign of Orpheus's trust and recognition of him.

"Then I will take you back." Orpheus said, raising his right hand again and waving it gently.

A black light shot out from her fingertips, drew a graceful arc in the void, and finally landed on a space in the distance.

The space was originally dim, but with the injection of black light, it instantly became bright, like a lit lighthouse, emitting soft light in the endless void.

Immediately afterwards, a pitch-black space passage slowly unfolded in front of Gu Bo. At the other end of the passage, the scene of the underworld could be vaguely seen.

"Go, I look forward to your performance." Orpheus' voice sounded behind Gu Bo, still so calm, without any emotion.

Gu Bo looked at Orpheus deeply, then turned and walked into the space channel. His figure gradually disappeared into the darkness, leaving Orpheus alone, standing in this empty space.

……

After a dizzying moment, Gu Bo found himself back in the study.

"came back……"

Gu Bo murmured softly, looking down at the Ouroboros mark on the back of his hand, a faint smile curling up at the corner of his mouth.

[095] Rias thinks that Goob is kind and that Sirzechs is suffering.

Gu Bo raised his hand, and the Ouroboros mark on the back of his hand was clearly visible. The fine lines were like a living thing, crawling slowly and emitting a faint black light.

"Next, I should go check on Rias and Sirzechs." He stood up, thinking to himself.

Just as Gu Bo was about to leave the study.

"Creak" sound.

The door was pushed open.

"My lord."

A pretty maid said respectfully.

She bowed slightly, holding a cup of steaming tea in her hand.

"You've been busy all day, so you must be a little tired, right? Here's the refreshing tea I carefully prepared for you. Please enjoy it."

"Oh? That's thoughtful!"

Gu Bo raised his eyebrows, took the teacup from the maid with some curiosity, and took a sip.

as predicted.

It tasted bitter at first, but was followed by a cool feeling that lifted his spirits.

"Nice workmanship, what's your name?"

"My name is Amy, thank you for the compliment, Master."

When Amy heard Gu Bo's praise, she suddenly became excited and quickly lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Gu Bo.

"Well, go down and tidy up the table here."

"Yes, my lord."

Amy bowed again and began to quietly gather up the papers on her desk.

Gu Bo finished his refreshing tea, put the cup on the table, and then walked out of the study.

At this moment, several maids were busy walking back and forth in the corridor. They were wearing the same uniform, carrying various items, and their expressions were respectful and careful. Seeing Gu Bo's figure, they hurriedly stopped and saluted in unison, saying in a clear voice: "Master of the House!"

Gu Bo nodded and casually asked, "Where are Miss Rias and Sirzechs-sama assigned to rest?"

One of the more mature-looking maids quickly stepped forward and replied, "Master, Lady Grayfia has arranged for Sirzechs-sama to stay in the eastern guest room, and Lady Rias to stay in the western one."

"I understand." Gu Bo nodded slightly and then walked towards the end of the corridor.

The maids watched Gu Bo's receding figure, a hint of admiration flashing between their brows.

"What do you think? Will the Patriarch take a liking to us and want to have children with us?"

One of the maids said shyly, a blush spreading across her fair face.

"Oh, stop dreaming!"

Another maid chuckled and ruthlessly shattered her fantasy: "We are just low- to mid-level demons. How could we possibly catch the eye of the master of the house?"

"Now the Patriarch has defeated Sirzechs-sama."

"He is now the most dazzling being in the entire underworld. I'm afraid the only ones worthy of him are the daughters of the upper-class demon families, right?"

After these words were spoken, several maids fell silent, with a hint of loss in their eyes.

at this time.

A cold voice suddenly came:

"All of you, come here."

Upon hearing this, several maids quickly turned around and saw Esdeath standing at the end of the corridor, looking at them expressionlessly.

"Lord Esdeath!"

Several maids saluted hurriedly, feeling a little uneasy.

Esdeath walked up to them, looked at them sharply, and said in a calm tone:

"You guys are pretty good."

"Since you are loyal to Lord Guber, I have decided to include you in the Dark Temple Knights' reserve."

The Dark Temple Knights' reserve force?

what is that?

After hearing this, several maids were confused.

"Lord Esdeath, is what you say true?"

However, the maid who was quick to react still hurriedly asked.

"of course."

Esdeath nodded slightly.

……

at the same time.

Gu Bo was already standing in front of the doors of the two rooms.

The two rooms have different decoration styles. The guest room on the east side looks more solemn and grand, while the guest room on the west side is more warm and comfortable. It is obvious that they were specially selected according to the preferences of Sirzechs and Rias respectively.

Gu Bo thought about it, and considering the differences between men and women, he finally decided to go see Sirzechs first.

So he raised his hand and gently knocked on the door of the east guest room.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The crisp knock on the door echoed in the empty corridor.

"Please come in."

Then a female voice was heard in the room.

It was Rias.

Gu Bo opened the door.

Inside the house, the curtains were drawn, letting in soft light.
