Chapter 206: New Stage

Chapter 206: New Stage

Before this meeting started, Zekram and Riser had made several simulations where Zekram would announce his proposal to make Riser take the position of Lucifer on the Four Great Maous.

When Zekram made an announcement, Riser would refuse.

It might seem weird why Riser would refuse even though the two of them had agreed beforehand, but if he appeared excited and would take this position happily like it was something that he had been longing for, it would make his situation troublesome as he needed to answer everyone's expectations.

Even though he got his hand on the name of the strongest Maou, his action would be restricted as many would watch over him to see whether he was suitable or not, so when he made a mistake, they would all blame him.Ñøv€l-B1n was the first platform to present this chapter.

So, at this moment, Riser needed to refuse since that way, they were the ones who begged him to take Lucifer's position.

To beg and to receive were two different things.

When Riser received the position of Lucifer from everyone, there was no need for him to answer an expectation, and he didn't need to do anything, only maintaining the status quo. Naturally, he could also do shady things, so his authority or wealth could be increased even further during his reign as the new Lucifer.

Everything was within the consideration of Zekram and Riser, but, in that simulation, Zekram and Riser thought that Ajuka would refute him and wouldn't agree for him to become a Lucifer, especially when Sirzech was Ajuka's best friend, so when Ajuka suddenly agreed to this proposal Zekram and Riser were surprised.

'What is he planning to do?' Riser thought.

Unlike Serafall and Falbium, the weight that came from Ajuka's acceptance was much different, especially when Ajuka's power matched that of Sirzech's.

Nevertheless, Riser quickly calmed himself as he thought about why Ajuka agreed. He thought for a moment and could find several reasons, but there was no doubt his answer was still the same.

"Thank you for your words, Zekram-sama and Ajuka-sama, but I think that I am not fit to take the Lucifer position, especially when I am still inexperienced. Moreover, with my qualifications, I don't think that I am qualified. Lastly, isn't it too early for us to choose someone to take Lucifer's position?"

If there was a reason why Ajuka would agree to let Riser take the position of Lucifer, Riser thought that Ajuka wished for the man behind the darkness to come out, or was it Ajuka's plan to prove that he was involved in Sirzech's death?

Either way, Riser knew he couldn't back down. Instead, he should take this challenge as his alibi was perfect, and no one could prove that he was the criminal except for Vali Lucifer.

Yet, was there anyone who could trust Vali's words?

There might be, but could they do something when Riser had stood above all of them?

Moreover, Sirzech had died.

What was the point of thinking of death?

Except for Gremory House and Ajuka, who happened to be Sirzech's best friend, no one paid attention to Sirzech anymore. It might be cruel, but even their father, the original Lucifer, was forgotten, too.

Sirzech was just a fake Lucifer; the moment he died, everything was over.

"See? Even Zekram-sama had said so." Ajuka showed his gentlest smile at Riser. "If you are worried whether you can take this position well, then you don't need to worry, right? You have the support of Zekram-sama, your sister-in-law, Serafall Leviathan, and many powerful noble houses supporting you.

"Except for you, no one else can take this position."

Even Diehauser, the champion, couldn't take this position as the champion of the "Rating Game" meant nothing in front of the power of authority of government. Moreover, he was a miser and poor. Lastly, his support was nothing but the Great King Faction, and he didn't have any involvement with the current Four Great Maous, so it was impossible for Serafall, Falbium, Ajuka, and those houses that were involved with them to agree.

In other words, only Riser was suitable as he had a connection with many.

Nevertheless, when everyone realized it, they couldn't help but was in a daze as they realized how strong this young man had grown in such a short moment.

Even Diehauser, who had a conflict with Riser previously, had a complicated gaze at this young man.

Riser could feel all the gazes on him, waiting for his response.

Whether it was Serafall, his father, his father-in-law, or many others, all of them waited for his answer.

Nevertheless, unlike them, who thought that this position was a chance, an opportunity to stand above everyone, Riser knew how dangerous this position could be.

No doubt, as long as he took this position, he would be the target of everyone since it would be hard for everyone to be convinced of his power, especially when his killing counts were still minimal.

Riser's feats were still small compared to Sirzech's.

Moreover, this was also a plot made by Ajuka.

Lastly, he couldn't rely on anyone; even Serafall was helpless in this situation.

Yet, the delicious meat was meat presented before him. It was an A5 meat, the best meat out there, grilled by the best chef in the whole world, but there was a high chance for this meat to contain poison.

However, it was unfortunate for them that Riser was immune to poison as all the poison would be burnt inside his body.

While facing Ajuka, Riser answered firmly, "If you have such a belief in me, then I will take this position.

"I will be the Lucifer for everyone."

With that answer, the world of the devil entered a new stage that no one could predict.
