Chapter 153: Everything is for peace of mind

Chapter 153: Everything is for peace of mind

"Real?"

"Real."

"...."

"...peace of mind."

Zekram murmured those words, falling into deep thought.

If it was world domination, became a Maou, or something like that, Zekram wouldn't be surprised, but a peace of mind?

"...your wish is quite difficult to achieve."

Even Zekram, who was hailed as the Great King, the real leader among all the devils, was still unable to attain peace of mind, and he was sure that the Four Great Satans, those who were hailed as the strongest four among all the devils also felt similar.

"It's difficult, huh?"

"Of course. You should know the world is irrational. Sometimes, you are at the top, and sometimes, you are at the bottom. You will never know what is happening in life. Even our God, the mighty, the creator of the world, also has passed away. Moreover, in the world, without a God, you will never know what will happen in the future."

Hearing those words, Riser also fell into silence.

Riser knew that Zekram was correct.

It was also due to this that it was impossible for him to rely on others as even God, who was known as the mightiest among all, had passed away.

Yet, many beings were weak.

Without relying on others, their minds might not be able to support themselves.

They needed something that could support themselves.

Religion, marriage, parents, lovers, money, and many other things.

Depending on the identity of an individual, their peace of mind might be different from one to another.

Yet, compared to those things, if he wanted to achieve peace of mind, the price he had to pay was greater.

However, with the system, it should be possible for him to achieve his goal.

"I might not be able to give you peace of mind, but if it's your promotion to the "Ultimate-Class Devil," I can help you with that."

Frankly, even if Sirzech tried to trouble Riser and hindered Riser's promotion, it was impossible to stop Riser, especially after Riser had defeated many legendary beings.

"Thank you. However, if my feat isn't enough, I can go to the Grigori to destroy their headquarters."

"Haha..." Zekram thought that Riser was joking, but... that didn't seem to be the case. Yet, he didn't want to confirm it. Instead, he asked, "So, is there something that you want me to help you with?"

If it was the others, they might not get Zekram's help.

However, Riser was worthy of Zekram's investment.

Frankly, if possible, Zekram wanted to make Riser owe him something.

Nevertheless, helping him to promote him to the "Ultimate-Class Devil" definitely wasn't enough, as Zekram knew Riser didn't need his help to be promoted.

After all, like what Riser had said before, if his feat wasn't enough, then he would destroy the headquarters of the Grigori.

Still, by now, Zekram knew as long as Riser could live well without being bothered, everything would be okay. Nevertheless, he knew there were many stupid devils under him, so he needed to remind them and show his favoritism toward Riser so as not they be burnt by him.

As a noble, Riser also wanted to maintain pure-blood supremacy.

Nevertheless, the trend couldn't work that way, so instead of letting the others make that school, it was better for them to make that school that way; they could control the pipelines, controlling those commoners while making them think they were kind.

"Being kind isn't a good thing, you know?"

Instead of being seen as a kind, Zekram felt that being feared was better.

After all, wasn't that how the original Lucifer and the other original Satans controlled the devils?

While this method might seem like a tyrant, it was effective.

Zekram also controlled the Underworld like this. Still, he wasn't as extreme as those descendants of the original Satans.

Nevertheless, as Riser had said before, no matter how hard the commoners tried, it was impossible to watch the nobles unless the nobles were trash.

However, this might be a good thing as Zekram could use this chance to educate those sissy and trash nobles.

No matter what the era was, competition was necessary.

Without the competition, everyone would be stagnant, and there wouldn't be any improvement.

The peace sounded great and all, but it made people lazy and spoiled.

Nevertheless, Zekram knew that the reason why Riser did all of this was due to his wife.

If his wife didn't ask something like this, would Riser be bothered to make a "Rating Game" school for the commoners? No way.

Also, the only one that could get their hands on the "Evil Pieces" was the high-class devil, so wasn't it pointless to make the "Rating Game" school for the commoners when they couldn't even participate?

Nevertheless, Zekram agreed to this request as it was something easy, especially when his clan also gained a benefit from it through Sairaorg.

Now, with his first wish settled, Zekram asked, "What about your second wish?"

"When I am promoted to the "Ultimate-Class Devil," I want Tannin's territory."

If one was promoted to the "Ultimate-Class Devil," they would receive territory in the Underworld.

Zekram narrowed his eyes and asked, "Can you tell me your plan?"

Riser didn't hide anything and told him what kind of plan he had for Tannin.

Hearing his second wish and plan, unlike his first wish, Zekram smiled and was happy.

"Can you do it?"

"There is no way I will let go of my enemy for my peace of mind."

"That's great. I will leave the rest to you. I will prepare for your coronation as the "Ultimate-Class Devil as soon as possible."

"Thank you."

The two talked amiably like friends, and their tone was at ease and relaxed even though what their plan might cause many to die.

Yet, for their own ambitions, neither of them would hold back, and they had decided to work together.

[Congratulations, you have received "Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix" (Complete Version)."]

Riser smiled and thought that everything was moving in a good direction.
