Chapter 113: No more good guy

How did Sirzech take the name Maou Lucifer, yet he wasn't being troubled by the others?

After all, the Old Satan Faction, which was led by the descendants of the original Maou, didn't go extinct. There were still many of their remains, and all of them were living together in the Underworld.

Yet, why didn't they say anything about Sirzech, who was the only member of the Gremory House?

After all, the meaning of Lucifer, the leader of all the devils, meant a lot of things to all the devils who existed in the past, present, and future.

Yet, the answer to all of this was simple.

Power.

In this moment and time, Sirzech showed Riser why he could become the Maou Lucifer.

Everyone was trembling in fear and frightened by Sirzech's power.

Even Serafall didn't expect that the situation would become so severe.

Sirzech's appearance was no longer that of a man who always had a gentle smile on his face. Instead, his body was clad in a black aura that tore apart and made the ground vanish.

Frankly, instead of a devil, Riser thought of Sirzech as a Power of Destruction in the shape of a devil.

It was said that Sirzech's power was ten times that of the original Luficer, and it seemed this news was correct.

"Step back."

Ni, Li, and Xenovia, who were scared silly, suddenly heard his voice.

"It's my problem. You don't have to face this."

"....." 3x

Hearing his words, the three of them somehow made a determined expression and stubbornly stood behind them. They might not be able to talk due to the shock and groggy feeling they felt after exposure to Sirzech's aura, but their eyes and actions clearly told Riser everything.

Riser was a little helpless and made a barrier for the three of them to ease the pressure they felt before he stepped forward to face Sirzech.

"Onii-sama..." Rias looked at Sirzech with a startled gaze as it was her first time to see Riser like this.

"Onee-sama...!" Sona held Serafall and asked her to help her husband.

Even if Sona didn't say anything, Serafall would help Riser, but when she was about to step it, an aura that didn't even lose to Sirzech swept over everyone.

Unlike Sirzech's aura, which brought despair and destruction, the aura that came from Riser was blazing hot.

It was like he was the Sun.

He was the one.

What was this feeling?

The eyes of everyone... their doubts... their confusion... and their—

Even if it was only for a moment, Sirzech saw a variety of emotions in everyone for his action to help Vali, who had shouted to kill Riser, the third son of Lord Phenex and the husband of the Sona Sitri.

He could even see that doubt from Rias, his precious little sister.

Yet, their doubt was normal.

After all, with Vali's identity, which was a weapon from the Grigori, their nemesis, and his conduct that shouted to kill Riser in front of everyone, why should Sirzech Lucifer, their leader, help such a person?

Wasn't it normal for Riser to wish to kill such a person?

Nevertheless, due to this, Riser also understood what kind of person Sirzech was.

Sirzech might be powerful, but his insight into politics was quite horrible.

Still, the reason why Sirzech could stand up until now without stumbling was probably due to his enemies being as horrible as him and only relying on their brute forces.

Yet, Riser also didn't blame them either since in front of overwhelming power, which was enough to obliterate anything, and a demonic power that was ten times the original Lucifer, not even a wise mind could stay calm and use their heads.

As for those who could match him like Ajuka?

While Riser hadn't seen Ajuka, he knew that Ajuka was probably the same type as Sirzech. Ajuka might be powerful, but instead of politics, his intellect was more into research instead of politics.

—Or was Ajuka too lazy?

Nevertheless, proof of their incompetence could be seen in their confrontation with the Great King Faction.

It was almost more than half the millennium that Sirzech and Ajuka had become the Maou Lucifer and Maou Beelzebub, respectively, yet until now, they were unable to completely dominate the politics of the Underworld and even let the Great King Faction do whatever they wanted to do.

If this wasn't incompetent, then what was it?

—Or were the devils in the Underworld so stupid?

Riser knew his words might seem too much, but "Oppai Dragon," a perverted dragon that loved to rub and suck boobs, became a popular show that generated a lot of income for the Gremory House and gained so much fame that it was loved by everyone.

When he thought all of this, he couldn't help but sigh, thinking the future of the devil was quite dim.

Nevertheless, Sirzech's current opponent was different.

Riser's might was comparable to that of him and even Ajuka, especially in Riser's current situation where Riser almost died.

Due to his "Crisis" ability, Riser's strength became stronger and stronger the more dying he was, and it wouldn't be strange if he became even more powerful than Sirzech if he continued to be hurt.

Moreover, his mind was still devious and politically keen.

For the first time, Sirzech realized Riser wasn't a young devil that he could crush anytime.
