Become a powerful shadow master in the new world

But the problem is that just now Sid treated her like a senior, but now he treated her like he had been her dependent for several years.

Honestly, Rias herself wondered if she was being too suspicious, because this was ridiculous. How could someone wear a mask from childhood to adulthood without anyone noticing?

"Well... Rias, everyone has their own secrets. There's no need for you to ask so many questions, even if he's your follower."

After listening to Rias's description, Sirzechs gave this answer.

In his opinion, there is no need for Rias to worry about this. If there is a personality problem, then there is a problem. After all, it is not a big deal. Aren't there many people with personality problems under Rias?

"I know. I'm just... a little nervous."

Rias also knew this. With her strength, she didn't need to think so much. Anyway, she could help Sid solve any problems he had. She was nervous now purely because she was about to face the ranking game that would determine her fate.

"Okay, is there anything else? If not, I really have to hang up. I still have a lot of official business to do here."

Although I felt that my brother probably already knew the answer to this question, I still asked it out loud after thinking for a moment.

"A shadow has appeared on this island."

"Okay, I understand, is there anything else?"

"Nothing."

"Then I'll hang up."

The two of them looked calm and calm, as if they were just discussing what to eat today, rather than a wanted criminal who could destroy the world at any time appearing on the island.

"What a troubled time!"

As the virtual projection of Rias disappeared in front of him, Sirzechs sighed and lamented as he thought about what Rias had said.

Even though they both seemed not to care much about Shadow just now, it was because they both knew that it was useless even if they cared.

Two years ago, they might have thought that all the forces combined might be able to defeat one of the "top five in the world", and some even thought that the God of Destruction Shiva alone could defeat one of them.

But now, three of the top five in the world have used facts to tell them the value of "top five in the world", letting everyone know that the value is so great that the remaining "top fifteen in the world" combined are not even worth a single beat.

"Why, Gurefia, are you curious?"

Sirzechs asked as he looked at his wife who seemed curious about the conversation between him and Rias.

Chapter 59: The Three Saints of the Lion King's Organs

The island country is located in Kyoto Prefecture, in Mt. Oe.

The light of candles could be heard from an ancient courtyard buried deep in the High God Forest, which seemed extremely quiet in the dark night.

This is the headquarters of the Lion King Agency, which is responsible for handling large-scale man-made magical disasters and intelligence work. It is also the contact point for the main leaders of the Lion King Agency, the "Three Saints", on weekdays.

At this moment, the dim light shone into the inner hall of this ancient courtyard, casting three shadows on the ground.

It was not the usual fixed meeting time, and no one was absent. The three saints gathered together, but no one spoke.

After a long silence, Xian Guyong, who was wearing an old-fashioned kimono that wrapped his whole body tightly, spoke first.

"It is certain that the operation on the Fourth True Ancestor has ended in failure. Himeragi Setsuna deviated from our plan for various reasons. Akatsuki Kojou still does not know about this earliest observer."

Having said that, Xian Guyong looked up at the other two figures, paused for a moment, and then continued speaking.

"I think we need to discuss once again the feasibility of the plan of 'winning over Akatsuki Kojou through the blood partner'. We have already paid too much for this plan."

After Xian Gu finished his speech, another middle-aged man on the field finally spoke.

"It is precisely because we have already paid so much that we cannot give up halfway. As long as our goal can be achieved, what we pay now is not worth mentioning compared to what we will get in the future."

"But I don't see any potential for Akatsuki Castle to return. I only see that we have lost a sword wizard who could become one of the Three Saints in the future, and a sword wizard who originally had a promising future."

[Who do you think you are? Are you God? ]

Xian Guyong recalled what Shadow had said in his mind, gritted his teeth, and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who was still greedy for the power of the Fourth True Ancestor, and he couldn't help but get excited.

"And how can you guarantee that Akatsuki Kojou will grow up? This plan is ridiculous. You must have watched too many cartoons to expect an ordinary high school student to master the power of the Fourth True Ancestor."

At the end, there was a hint of anger in Xian Guyong's words.

“Watch your tone, Xian Guyong.

You are young and inexperienced, and I don't blame you for having problems dealing with things.

But I hope you will at least know how to respect your elders."

As if he was also irritated by Xian Guyong, the middle-aged man took on the airs of a senior.

“And you said Akatsuki Kojou is an ordinary person? Hahaha.

He is the grandson of Akatsuki Hisano of the Akatsuki family, how could he be an ordinary person?

Although it is hard to tell because he has never received any training, the fact that he can absorb the power of the Fourth True Ancestor has already proven his qualifications."

The corners of the middle-aged man's mouth curled up.

"And his sister, Nagisa Akatsuki, is still alive and well, using her human body to provide the vitality needed for a True Ancestor's Familiar. Judging from the current situation, she may even be able to completely control the Familiar in the future."

"When Akatsuki Kojou completely masters the power of the Fourth True Ancestor and establishes the Empire of Night in the future, you or I will step down as the Three Saints and let Akatsuki Nagisa take over. By then, we will have a Three Saints that can use True Ancestors' Familiar Beasts and the power of an Empire of Night. Compared to these, the gains and losses at this moment are insignificant. You are still too young."

"You have been blinded by greed. You are willing to gamble the entire Lion King Organization for your ambition."

Seeing the greed visible on the middle-aged man's face, Xian Guyong gritted his teeth.

"Ah!"

In response to what Xian Guyong said, the middle-aged man sneered.

“Blinded by greed, for my ambition?

What a righteous speech, Xian Guyong, you may have forgotten that this plan was decided by the three of us voting together, and now you are trying to take all the blame for it. "

"That's why I'm stopping this action now, the risk is just too great.

If Shadow had not taken action to eliminate Akatsuki Kojou this time, the Fourth True Ancestor, in a runaway state, would have attacked everything he saw out of the instinct to complete himself.

Yes, it is impossible for other forces to watch a runaway Fourth True Ancestor destroy the world, but before that, the land closest to Gengami Island will be the first country destroyed by Akatsuki Ancient City.

If we stop, we will suffer losses, but it is still within our tolerance range.

It's not too late to give up now. With our strength, we can still pretend that nothing happened. We are not qualified to touch the power of the Fourth True Ancestor."

Xian Guyong was still trying to persuade the middle-aged man, but the middle-aged man just shook his head and spoke in a serious voice.

"Give up? Give up and wait to die right here? If it was two years ago, maybe we could have just ignored it, but now, times have changed."

"how you said that?"

"That's why I said you are too young. Look at the world outside, young Xian Gu Yong. The world has changed.

In the past, we thought that we at least had the ability to protect ourselves, so we could just stay out of things that did not concern us.

But now the fusion of the three worlds has caused too many changes in this world and exposed too many things.

It has been less than two years since the world was integrated, and there is also the external threat of the world battlefield. The world has undergone such tremendous changes, not to mention the future.

The Empire of Night has its True Ancestors, and the Mythological Forces have their own Lord Gods. They are all capable of protecting themselves in the tide of the times. What about us? What do we have?"

She couldn't help swallowing her saliva. Xian Guyong's intuition told her that the man in front of her, who was also one of the "Three Saints", would say something very dangerous next.

"If we are not strong enough, we will just be drowned in the tide of the times if we just stick to the status quo. We must find a way to make ourselves stronger.

And now, this opportunity is in front of us. As long as Akatsuki Kojo grasps all the power of the Fourth True Ancestor and establishes the Empire of Night, in order to make the Empire of Night develop in this world, they can only follow the example of Netheril. That will be our chance to become stronger by using the Empire of Night. "

Xian Guyong now really wanted to kill this man, because the ambition of this man in front of him would only cause their Lion King Agency to be buried with him.

"I—object!"

These three words were basically squeezed out from between the teeth of Xian Gu Yong.

"Hmph, I can only say that you are just a woman after all, and it's like talking to a cow. Let's just vote and decide. I still agree to carry out this plan."

Xian Guyong understood what the man meant, and she could not deny that this plan was feasible enough, but there were too many uncertainties in this plan.

If the legend that the Fourth True Ancestor is the strongest True Ancestor is true, then Akatsuki Kojou, who fully controls the power of the Fourth True Ancestor, not to mention surpassing the First True Ancestor, the Forgotten War King, even if he is just on par with him, his combat power is at least in the top fifteen in the world. This strength is indeed qualified to be the cornerstone of this plan.

But putting aside the question of whether Akatsuki Kojou can master this power, this power is only enough to serve as a foundation, and whether it can withstand the pressure from the outside world is also a question.

If the top fifteen in the world can claim to have world-class combat power, generally few forces would mess with them, but if they imitate Netheril's style, there will be more than one or two of the top fifteen in the world who will be provoked.

The confidence of Netheril, who would rather the whole world be against it, comes from the fact that even the top fifteen worlds combined cannot defeat Netheril's emperor.

As for Xiao Ancient City?

Even if his strength reaches the required level, it is questionable whether he can defeat a normal top 15 player in the world given his personality.

And once Akatsuki Ancient City loses, the newly established Empire of Night will be a joke and will be divided up immediately. At that time, their Lion King Agency will also be picked out and destroyed.

Two of the three saints have expressed their opinions, one vote in favor and one vote against. The decision on whether to continue implementing this plan has fallen into the hands of the last of the three saints.

Both of their eyes were fixed on the figure in the field who had not said a word since his appearance.

It was a petite figure with a pair of giant slimes on her chest, lavender pupils and long platinum hair. Her delicate childlike face carried a hint of confusion that seemed out of place at the scene.

As the two men's gazes shifted to him, the confusion on his face became more intense and his body began to tremble.

Suddenly, her body stopped trembling, the confusion on her face disappeared, and her eyes became indifferent. The girl in this state was the real one of the Three Saints - An Bainai.

Its true form is a dark consciousness that has been passed down for thousands of years and is passed down through blood. Each generation will choose one of its contemporary offspring to possess and become its second personality.

Chapter 60: The New Sword Wizard and Claire's Strangeness

"Why are you so impatient, both of you?"

The girl's body, but her tone of voice seemed very sophisticated. This incongruous scene appeared before his eyes. Even though he had seen it several times, Xian Guyong still found it weird.

"Ugh!"

Seeing that the two were still on the verge of a fight, An Bainai could only sigh.

"I am in favor of continuing with this operation."

After these words were spoken, Xian Guyong and the middle-aged man had different reactions, the middle-aged man had a smug smile on his face, while Xian Guyong looked at An Bainai in disbelief.

"An Bainai, you may not have..."

"I know what you mean, and I also know that what you say makes sense, Xian Guyong."

"Then why do you still agree? If you really understand what I just said, you should oppose this plan with me."

An Bainai just shook his head.

"He's right. You are indeed too young. The time you have to inherit the name of 'Xianguyong' is too short."

Although he did not name the person, Xian Guyong knew that he was referring to the middle-aged man in the field. An Bainai, like him, felt that his idea was too naive.

“You have a point, but so what?

Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Now that we have started, we have no choice but to go all the way.”

"No, we still have..."

"That's why I said you are too young. The matter has already been reported to the church. How can you just stop now and pretend nothing happened?"

Xian Guyong was interrupted by An Bainai before he could finish his words.

"It's done. No matter what, there's no way to cover up this fact. Once this matter is exposed, it will bring great disaster to our Lion King. Our only choice now is to continue with this plan. As long as it succeeds, it doesn't matter if the plan is exposed."

"But…"

"Okay, two votes to one, I declare that the 'Blood Mate' project will proceed."

Watching An Bainai make the final decision, Xian Guyong knew that the plan could not be stopped, at least not now, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart and turned to talk about Himeragi Yukina's way of dealing with it.

"Himehiiragi Setsuna?

The sword wizard we first sent to Akatsuki Kojou?

Since she didn't succeed in becoming the fourth true ancestor's original partner, what qualifications does she have to appear in our meeting?

Let her transfer or continue to carry out the plan. If she doesn't obey or can't control her mouth, it's solved. After all, she is just a sword wizard who has the potential to become one of the Three Saints."

Hearing that Xian Guyong was talking about the way to deal with Himeragi Setsuna, the middle-aged man expressed confusion. He was not the only one. An Bainai was also wondering why Xian Guyong specifically brought up her existence at the meeting of the Three Saints.

As a training institution, they cannot say that they don't care about the large number of sword wizards and other magic attackers, but they can afford to lose one or two. Otherwise, when the low-level sword wizards perform some very dangerous tasks, the death rate will be heartbreaking.

Although Himeragi Setsuna has great potential and may become one of the Three Saints in the future, there are many geniuses with great potential. What is important is not the genius but the genius who can become a strong one.

"She joined the Mitsukoshi Chamber of Commerce."

This plain sentence made both of them silent. After thinking for a while, An Bainai spoke first.

"Since she has joined the Mitsukoshi Chamber of Commerce, let's change Himeragi Setsuna's mission objective from becoming the blood partner of the Fourth True Ancestor to becoming friends with the Mitsukoshi Chamber of Commerce. It just so happens that we lack a channel of communication with the Mitsukoshi Chamber of Commerce."
