I, the spiritual mentor of beautiful girls from all over the world

“It tastes okay.”

It was this simple compliment that made Seraph's heart skip a beat.

All of this was observed by Hei Ge, who was standing nearby.

She leaned close to Seraph's ear silently, her voice like a devil's whisper.

"Oh my, Demon King, the way you responded just now was so enthusiastic, meow~"

"It seems you've not only learned how to cook, but also how to 'savor' your master's rewards. I am truly ashamed of myself."

"You, you're talking nonsense!"

Seraphim jumped back as if she had been stepped on, her cheeks instantly turning bright red!

Her finger, which was pointing at Hei Ge, was trembling slightly.

"I...I was...checking if he was poisoned! Yes! Checking! What do you know, you pervert!"

...

“Go,” Lynn said, ignoring their childish, fiery bickering, and gave the new order.

His voice was very soft, yet it seemed to possess a kind of magical power that made the air freeze.

"Find me a set of 'Devil Chess Pieces'."

Devil Piece?

Hei Ge was taken aback at first, then his pair of eerie golden cat eyes suddenly burst forth with a light that could be described as fanatical.

She understood her master's intention almost immediately.

What a...what a blasphemous and insane idea!

To recruit a genuine demon king as a member of his retinue...

Such a thing, let alone seeing it, just hearing about it is enough to make the soul of any demon tremble!

The demon king Achuka Beelzebub, who created the "demon chess pieces" and the "ranking game," probably exhausted all imagination...

They never imagined that their greatest invention would one day be used in such a blasphemous way!

Her reverence and worship for her master, like the hottest lava, once again scorched her soul.

"Yes, my supreme master, meow~"

She respectfully accepted the order without the slightest hesitation, and in a flash, she returned to the Underworld via the [Visitor Mark].

For her now, obtaining a set of ordinary demon chess pieces in the underworld would be a piece of cake.

What was once a forbidden area called "Naberius" is now the backyard.

...

A moment later, Kuroko returned.

She respectfully presented Lynn with an ebony box that exuded an ominous aura.

Lynn casually opened the box.

Inside lay fifteen chess pieces carved from black crystal, each engraved with a different unit type. Under the soft light of the safe house, they reflected a cold and malevolent light.

It's a pity, they're all ordinary items, not even a single [mutated chess piece] was found.

However, it doesn’t matter anymore.

For him now, it is the chess pieces that adapt to him, not him who adapts to the chess pieces.

He took out the chess pieces one by one and deliberately laid them out in front of Seraph.

As the ruler of the underworld, Seraphine recognized it at a glance.

Her body began to tremble slightly, uncontrollably.

She knew this was the final and most complete conquest.

Once she accepted the pawn, she was no longer the demon king Seraph Leviathan, and she herself would no longer be herself.

She will become this man's unique and exclusive possession, completely and utterly, from soul to body, from the past to the future.

Just as Lynn's finger casually touched one of the [Soldier] pieces...

On the back of his left hand, the dormant mark suddenly glowed.

【God's Left Hand - Gandalf】.

They even regarded these "devil pieces" as a type of "weapon".

[Optimizable target detected: Demon Chess Piece (Degraded Version)]

Should optimization be performed?

"optimization."

Lynn silently recited in his heart.

hum-

An invisible wave emanated from his left hand, enveloping the entire set of chess pieces.

Under the astonished gazes of Seraph and Black Song, the chess pieces that had originally exuded only an ominous aura began to display countless extremely intricate golden patterns on their surfaces, as if they had been infused with laws of a higher dimension.

"All right."

Lynn's calm voice broke the silence of the courtyard.

He looked at the two women in front of him as if admiring a rough gem he was about to work on.

"Remove armor."

His commands were devoid of emotion, yet possessed an irresistible authority.

This is a ceremony.

A sacred ceremony that completely stripped them of all their past identities and branded them with the mark that belonged only to him.

In the face of absolute dominance, all resistance seems so pale and laughable.

Without hesitation, with a hint of fanatical, sacrificial devotion, Hei Ge shed all pretense.

Seraph bit her lip in humiliation, a single tear sliding down her cheek. Finally, trembling, she unbuttoned the white shirt that belonged to this man.

Two bodies, with exposed, perfectly naked, and utterly unguarded, appeared before Lynn.

Lynn picked up two optimized [Bishop] pieces and, without any emotion, placed them on Black Song's flat stomach.

"what--!"

The moment the chess piece merged into his body, a current mixed with excruciating pain and a strange, tingling sensation coursed through his entire body.

Hei Ge couldn't help but let out a suppressed, tearful sound.

She felt as if her soul had been gripped by an invisible hand and forcibly branded with the marks of "obedience" and "degradation"!

Every inch of my skin has become more sensitive than ever before!

boom!

A magical power far stronger than before erupted from her body!

The highest-ranking demon!

With the support of the optimized chess pieces, she actually broke through the bottleneck that had plagued her for so long, and ascended to the top in one step, becoming a true supreme demon!

This is at least ten years earlier than in the original story!

Then, Lynn's indifferent gaze fell on the trembling Seraph.

(The High School DxD arc is coming to an end; the next part takes place ten years later.)

Chapter 101: Sirzechs was dumbfounded; how did the magical girl become so strong?

Then, Lynn's indifferent gaze fell on the trembling Seraph.

Seraphim's heart leaped into her throat.

Last night, she gave everything.

In her worldview, having experienced that level of "energy exchange," even if she wasn't the female lead, she should at least be the one with the most special status.

(That's right! In my capacity as the Demon King Seraph Leviathan...)

(In his evil camp, she should at least be the highest-ranking [Queen]!)

Her brain had already automatically rehearsed the rest of the script:

He looked at her with domineering eyes, then branded the unique Queen chess piece onto her heart, as the most beautiful trophy of his conquest of the world...

This is the most basic respect a villain should have for the powerful! This is the logic a script should have!

However, Lynn's next move shattered all her illusions.

He casually picked up a cold [Soldier] chess piece, as casually as picking up a pebble from the roadside, and then, without any emotion, pressed it onto her smooth lower abdomen.

In that instant, Seraph's pupils dilated.

Soldiers?!

(Are they the kind of low-value, most numerous, and cannon fodder minions that will be used as cannon fodder from the start?!)

She suddenly raised her head and stared intently at Lynn's handsome yet indifferent face.

That face that stole everything from her in the darkness last night!

The sense of humiliation still lingers.

But a sharper, more heart-wrenching emotion, like an icy tide, instantly overwhelmed her.

It's a feeling of being wronged.

It's that kind of extreme grievance... where you give everything, only to be treated like a cheap gift from the street...

This man!

This bastard!

How dare he? !

Seraphim's gaze towards him completely changed.

They are no longer the righteous allies who are wary of evil gods.

Rather, it's a look... a mixture of heartbreak, betrayal, and silent accusation... a look when looking at a scumbag.

(I, the mighty Demon King! In the army of this evil god... I'm merely a "soldier" who can be sacrificed at any moment?!)

However, Lynn remained unresponsive to her gaze, which could make any man feel guilty.

He didn't even lift his eyelids.

In his view, the "transformation" characteristic of the eight [soldiers] is the most suitable for maximizing her "ice" ability, which is the most efficient and convenient.

That's it.

The next second, Lynn expressionlessly picked up the second, the third...

Until all eight [Soldier] pieces were integrated into her body.

boom--!

A vast, ocean-like power awakened wildly within her!

The purest frost power of the Siddi family, combined with the unique "transformation" characteristic of the [Soldier], under the power of divinity, underwent a miraculous fusion!

The almost overwhelming pleasure brought about by this increase in power allowed her to experience a thrill that made her tremble in her soul amidst extreme humiliation and injustice!

(No, no! This is a scumbag's sweet talk! He's trying to bribe and corrupt me with his power!)

(Undercover Mode - Livi☆Sugar will never be fooled! ...But...this new skill seems...to be quite useful...)

"From this day forward, your power, and everything you have, belongs to me."

Lynn looked at his two brand-new "works" and nodded in satisfaction.

"Pet Number One, you continue to lurk in the shadows and hunt for artifacts for me."
