But when I thought about where I was now, I still held back. Higashino Yuu, and Rias Gremory, Asia Algette, and this Himejima Akeno... I'm going to make sure you all pay one by one!
"Sorry for the wait. The Demon King is waiting for you."
Just as the two sides were in a stalemate, the door of the meeting hall was suddenly pushed open, and then a group of waiters walked in.
The official ceremony is finally about to begin.
"Senior, I hope I didn't cause any trouble to the president and Yuu." As Diodora left, Aisha pulled Himejima Akeno's clothes and said carefully.
594. Zhiqu Cangna's betrayal
"Don't be nervous, You will handle these things." Himejima Akeno reached out and held Aisha's hand and comforted her softly.
"Ah."
When the girl heard Higashino Yu's name, she seemed to gain great courage from her heart and smiled with relief.
Almost at the same time, all the young demon machine followers stopped talking and followed the waiter into the wide steel-framed conference hall.
The atmosphere here was a bit more solemn than outside. And many older demons were already sitting on the high platform in the hall. They were now the bigwigs in the underworld.
People like Sirzechs, Seraphim, Ajeka, and Falbien inherited the title of Demon King and became the top demons in the underworld.
At this moment, the young demons in the audience were very excited just by looking at them.
If we were to say who are the idols of the underworld, they are the undisputed idols.
Standing in the audience, Higashino Yuu looked at the people on the stage. He was more familiar with Sirzechs and Seraphim, who inherited the names of Lucifer and Leviathan, but he was not familiar with the remaining two, Falbiwen and Ajeka, who inherited the name of Asmodeus.
Putting Falbiwin aside, Ajeka is indeed a transcendent like Sirzechs.
"Young demons, you have worked hard to get here, but this is also for your mother to see carefully the special meeting that will take the responsibility of the next era."
An old demon said in a dignified voice while holding his hands.
"But now it seems that they started fighting as soon as they met. Moreover, it is clearly a gathering of demons, but there are humans mixed in. This young generation is getting worse and worse."
A sarcastic voice was also heard, and this time it was another bearded demon who spoke.
At this time, many eyes were focused on Sigvira, Jefadel, Sairaorg and Higashino Yuu.
"Hahaha... Don't be too strict with them. Besides, I invited Dong Ye here as well. He's the son-in-law of the Gremory family, so he can be considered one of our demons."
Sirzechs on the stage said while smiling and smoothing things over: "And don't underestimate him just because he's a human. In fact, Yuu's strength is no less than mine."
The old man was shocked when he heard this, and his eyes widened:
"How is this possible? You must be joking, Your Majesty the Demon King."
Sirzechs still smiled faintly at this.
"Do you think I need to make a joke about such a lie that can be easily exposed? Now you are not saying that Yuu is not qualified to come here!"
"Of course not..."
The old man shook his head repeatedly, and looked at Dongye You with fear in his eyes.
He was well aware of Sirzechs's strength. Even if ten of him were tied together, they would not be a match for Sirzechs.
If the other party also possesses such a terrifying power...
That really adds a huge amount of power to the demons.
Sure enough, they did not mention Higashino Yuu in their subsequent speeches, but only said some very ordinary remarks.
For example, don’t fight, practice well, the future of the devil still depends on you, etc.
Looking at the drowsy people around him, Higashino You had a feeling as if he was listening to a leader’s speech in his previous life.
"Okay, I'm really sorry for nagging you for so long, but we are placing all our dreams and hopes on you young people. You must be very good at this one thing. You will always be the treasure of the underworld."
As if they had heard the meaning of the end from Sirzechs' words, everyone couldn't help but perk up, their eyes sparkling.
"Finally, I want to hear about your dreams. Is that okay?"
As Sirzechs finished speaking, the entire venue became lively, and then Sairaorg was the first to stand up.
"My dream is to become a demon king!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue exclaimed. One has to know that there have only been seven demon kings since ancient times, so even the big shots on the stage looked at him differently.
"I want to be the head of the Gremory family."
"I want to achieve excellent results in the ranking game, and also successfully turn someone into my follower!"
The first part was quite normal, but when hearing Rias's last dream, not only did Himejima Akeno beside her chuckle, even Higashino Yuu couldn't help but hold his forehead.
It can be seen that Higashino Yu had dealt a heavy blow to Rias. Even if he stood there and asked her to transform her followers, she couldn't do it. This was a complete failure for Rias.
Next, there were also young demons who kept talking about their dreams. Some wanted to be the Demon King, and some wanted to be the boss, but their dreams were not as big as Sairaorg's.
After all, Sairaorg's strength is there, he really has the potential to become the Demon King, while for the rest it may just be a dream.
Finally, after everyone had said almost everything, only Chitoge Sona and Higashino Yuu were left.
Higashino Yuu had no interest in this, and this was a discussion conference about the devil's dreams and had little to do with him as a human.
Seeing that Higashino Yu had no intention of speaking, Zhichu Cangna on the side could only say.
"¨My dream is to set up a school that teaches ranked games."
As soon as this dream was mentioned, almost everyone on the field frowned.
"Wait, the school for ranking games has already been established, right?"
A big shot asked Shao doubtfully.
"But that is a school that only high-ranking demons and a small number of privileged classes can enjoy. What I want to build is a school without any levels, where both reincarnated demons and low-ranking demons can attend."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue fell silent, followed by loud laughter.
"That is impossible!"
“This is truly a masterpiece!”
"I see. Is this what they call a dreaming girl?"
"Although it's good for young people to have dreams, it's not good for the next head of the Sidi family to talk in his sleep. Fortunately, this is just a meeting before his debut."
At this time, all the big shots did not hide their ridicule towards Zhiqu Cangna, and even some young demons looked at Zhiqu Cangna strangely.
After all, from the current perspective, Zhiqu Cangna's behavior is tantamount to eating with the bowl in hand and then smashing the pot after putting it down. He enjoyed the education that only high-level demons can get, but now he wants to destroy the school built by the upper level.
Some radical people may even say that this is a betrayal to the underworld.
595. The superior demon's crazy counterattack
Of course, this is only a short-term view. If we look at it from a long-term perspective, then Zhiqu Cangna's approach is not only harmless, but has many benefits.
Although most of the underworld is occupied by demons, because the area of the underworld is about the same size as the earth and there is no ocean, there are many other races or even gods' forces active there.
The demon population is naturally the largest among them. With a huge population base, coupled with the emergence of reincarnated demons, it naturally leads to the presence of many geniuses here.
If handled properly and these geniuses are given a sufficiently stable promotion channel, then the demon clan will naturally become stronger.
But the current situation is that the top demons control 80% or even 90% of the resources of the entire demon clan, and the remaining 10% is owned by ordinary demons or reincarnated demons.
After all, in their eyes, lower-level demons and reincarnated demons can only be regarded as waiters or servants, to put it bluntly, and this is also true for Rias.
Although in their hearts, the Gremory clan that Rias belongs to does regard the reincarnated devils as family members, but in public they can only address them as servants.
This can explain many problems.
And now that these upper-level demons have just defeated the old demon lord faction not long ago, and are enjoying the pleasure brought by the benefits, what does Zhitou Cangna want to do? He will open the school of ranking games to reincarnated demons and lower-level demons.
This seems to be a good thing, but to put it bluntly, it is still cutting flesh from them.
It is natural that they resist this.
It's not that they don't see the benefits of doing so, but they disagree because it will harm their own interests.
Of course, not everyone is on the same side as these conservative high-ranking officials, for example...
"Hey, you guys, that's enough! If you keep bullying my little Cang Na, don't blame me for bullying you!"
Seraph, who had been enduring to the limit, almost slammed the table and stood up. She looked angrily at those who dared to laugh at Zhiqu Cangna. The aura on her body burst out uncontrollably, making the demons around her feel as if a huge stone was pressing on their chests, making them extremely depressed.
"Lord Leviathan, this is because your sister's dream is too absurd. Lord Leviathan's duty as the Demon King is to protect the honor and privileges of all my old families and pure-blooded demons. Has Lord Leviathan forgotten this?"
"That's right, Lord Leviathan, don't forget your obligations!"
Once someone takes the lead, others will naturally follow suit. For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire venue began to become tense.
Suddenly, a sneer was heard in the quiet meeting room.
"Haha! What you're saying is, if one day there is only one pure-blooded devil left, does that mean that the remaining demon kings will have to work for that pure-blooded devil?"
"Who! Who is talking nonsense here?"
Although they could not face the Demon King, they could no longer tolerate the sudden sound coming from below. Their eyes swept down like sharp swords.
Tread.
As the crowd gradually parted, Higashino Yuu, who was standing in the middle, was exposed to everyone.
When they saw it was Higashino Yu, the old guys' eyes twitched and they shouted loudly.
"It's you! How dare you, a human being, comment on the affairs of us demons!"
"That's right. I think you, a human, have bad intentions. Lord Demon, I suggest you just destroy him!"
"That's right, Lord Demon. This guy is here to destroy the peace of our race! We even suspect that your sister has been deceived by him. We must not let him stay."
Someone among the conservative demon kings whispered.
After listening to what was said on the stage, the eyes of the young demons in the audience changed when they looked at Higashino Yu and Rias. It could almost be said that they were being accused without any basis in reason.
"Don't you think you're too overbearing? The demon lords above haven't said anything yet, but you guys jumped out! Is it because you lack strength that you can only show your presence in other ways? Do you have the ability to go against Lord Leviathan?"
Higashino Yu looked up at the ugly appearance of the crowd and asked with a sneer.
At this moment, the entire conference hall was silent. Some of the younger generation standing in the audience looked at the big shots who were usually out of their reach, and then looked at the humans on the other side who were not even demons. They felt as if the sky was about to change.
Since when has a human dared to challenge such a big man!
"Hmph! Does the Demon King need to help educate a junior like you?" The demon in a higher position responded calmly.
Then he said sternly, "We are the upper-level demons and deserve this kind of treatment. Is there anything wrong with me guaranteeing the interests of our class?
But you, a human, think you are quite powerful. Not only did you destroy the pure-blood marriage between the Phoenix and Gremory families, but you are also acting weird here, trying to sow discord among us demons in an attempt to further weaken our demons' strength.
I found him here today and he kept making excuses. Are you bullying us because we have no one in the underworld? Lord Demon, I suggest you capture him right now and interrogate him strictly. I even suspect that he was the one who instilled the idea of your sister to build that kind of school. You can tell at a glance that this person is not a good person!"
When everyone present heard this, their faces changed. To sow discord among the demons and further weaken their strength was too serious a charge. If it was true, he would definitely not have a good ending.
Listening to what everyone on the stage said, not only Rias's face changed, even Chitoge Cangna on the side couldn't help it.
She then stepped forward and stood beside Higashino Yuu and said, "That's enough! Don't you think I don't know? If this school is established, it will affect your interests. Now you are bullying here, but how much effort did you put in the real battle in the past?
I looked up the history of the underworld, but there is almost nothing!
Besides, when power is too concentrated, there will be crazy resistance from the lower classes. This has happened more than once in the human world. Are you all just going to turn a blind eye to it?"
Zhitou Sona has always wanted to contribute to the underworld and establish a ranking game school that everyone can attend. The benefits to the underworld will be huge, and this has always been her dream.
But now, just by mentioning it, these old antiques launched a strong counterattack, and this situation made Zhiqu Cangna feel a bit gloomy.
596. Seraph's Backstab
The senior demon couldn't help but snorted coldly, "You are just a junior, how can you understand our situation? The reason why humans are in that situation is simply because humans have a very short lifespan, while we demons have a long lifespan and are not afraid of any rebellion!
After all, anyone’s growth takes time.”
What he said was not wrong. After all, there were not many rebellions among the demons. The most famous one recently was the battle between the old demon king and the new demon king, which ended with the victory of the new demon king.
Even so, the impact on these big families is not that great.
"Hmph! If that's the case, why did the above four people become the Demon King instead of you? I see that you are all incapable of boasting here. If you have the guts, come and try to take me." Higashino Yu looked at several people and sneered.
These people have limited abilities and then they grow old by the day. When they occupy high positions, they set up layers of obstacles for the people below them.
In the battle between the old Demon King faction and the new Demon King faction, it might be a mistake to say that these guys did not contribute at all, but most of them are definitely fence-sitters who bet on both sides.
