Chapter 839 VS Team Lightning
Team Urahara Shouten's return to the Azazel Cup was greeted by people energetically cursing at them while its team leader just happily waved at them which caused another spike in everyone's hate. Why wouldn't he smile happily at his cash cows?
In the next few matches, the results were the same. Kisuke would be brought into extreme jeopardy but one way or another, the enemy team would mysteriously mess up and end up destroying themselves or creating an opening enough for Kisuke's 'weak' attacks to go through.

But after that, Kisuke and Tiamat noticed that their earnings had already dropped sharply, "I guess that's it, huh..." Tiamat talked under her breath.
"Should we bet on the other side and actually lose?", suggested Kisuke.
"That's no different from match-fixing. I won't allow such a thing." He was met with immediate refusal from the Chaos Karma Dragon, "We have enough so it's about time we take things seriously since starting from now, we're entering the top rankings. Our next opponent is Team Lightning led by Barakiel."
"...Barakiel, is it? I guess for Akeno-san's sake, I'll face him properly."

"Welcome ladies and gentlemen~! It's another wonderful day for the Azazel Cup with two of the most popular contenders facing each other! Today we'll witness Team Lightning and Team Urahara Shouten compete in the game of Object Break!"
Object Break Game. Another variant of the normal Rating Game where the goal is to break the 'objects' in the shape of a woman with Fallen Angel & Devil wings scattered around the battlefield. There are a total of thirteen 'objects' and the first team to break seven of these 'objects' within the twelve-hour time limit wins the match and just like in the normal Rating Game, victory can also be achieved by defeating the opposing team's 'King'.
"But unlike before, Kisuke Urahara hasn't moved from his spot and let his team members do all the work this time around. Let's just go straight to him before the last two Objects are destroyed.", suggested by the remaining Bishop.
However, Armaros shook his head, "That won't work. The Surveillance Magic that I placed near the area detected Tiamat's return. It seems that they want to safely secure the win."
Barakiel sighed, "So this is it, huh? As expected, those Goddesses are both battle-oriented and should be high ranking too even among the Deities. Even after losing our men, they were still able to hide their specialty and identities. Not to mention Tiamat with just one of her breaths is enough to retire most of us."
But then, flames sprouted from his eyes. The emotion he has been hiding all this time emerged, "However, I don't want to end this without seeing that detestable bastard's face and at least throw lightning at his sorry ass! Let's blitz through!"
"Oh right... He took away your daughter just when you're already getting along with her." Armaros muttered in remembrance.
Barakiel clenched his fist and gritted his teeth while saying, "That's right. I want to at least punch his face once." Since they aren't going to win anyway, he let his selfishness finally take over.
"Ah... Sir? I think I have a dumb idea that might work." the remaining Knight voiced out.
"Hmm? What is it?"
"Why don't you try challenging Kisuke Urahara into a one-on-one?"
Barakiel and Armaros looked at each other and the latter said, "...Considering the personality he had shown until now, that might actually work?"
Without saying what he was thinking, Barakiel stepped forward and took in a large amount of air in his lungs before shouting, "Kisuke Urahara! You stole my daughter! Let's fight!" Simple words, but it were heard throughout the whole field due to it being imbued with Magic.
A few seconds later, he got his reply in the same manner which made him stagger and almost trip over nothing, "Your daughter is already mine, but I accept!"
