Chapter 296: Die, get stronger, and repeat

Chapter 296: Die, get stronger, and repeat

Let's put the matter of Ophis calling Riser with Onii-chan aside; there were many things they wanted to ask him.

Still, as to why Riser asked Ophis to attack Ajuka, while many were curious, they decided to keep silent since there was probably something that they didn't know and, more importantly, there was a question that they wanted to ask.

"Have you defeated the Great Red, Riser-kun?" Michael asked.

This was the question on everyone's mind, and they wanted to know whether Riser was really able to defeat the Great Red or not. Even though many days had passed, they still recalled the terror they felt that day.

That powerlessness, helplessness, and despair... they were still vivid in their minds.

It was also due to this that they didn't want to feel that feeling anymore.

If Riser could really defeat the Great Red, then there was no doubt that he would become an existence similar to the God of the Bible in their minds.

'If that happens...'

Michael thought about Gabriel, who had always wished to meet Riser, and felt that it should be a time for them to meet each other, especially when their new hopeful research was about to bear fruit.

Moreover, this was a different era.

An era where God was no longer with them.

An era where the devil, the angel, and the fallen angel sat at the same table.

If the angel could have a deeper relationship with Riser through Gabriel, then everything was worth it!

As for those believers?

They were never under Michael's consideration since they were just weak humans, and sooner or later, they would pass away. Instead of thinking about them, it was better to think about the continuation of the angel.

"I do."

"..."

While they had expected this, they couldn't help but gasp.

Impossible!

How?

Those questions kept bombarding their minds, yet they knew they shouldn't hurry him and should be patient since they knew that Riser would explain it to them shortly.

Riser had previously thought and felt like it would be better to announce that he had defeated the Great Red. Many probably thought that being low-key was the best, but he didn't think so.

If one didn't know what his deeds were, they would underestimate him, and they would do some tricky conspiracy again.

Riser wanted to rest for a while, so announcing his deeds was better, and it also made many myths wish to become part of the alliance. There were probably some who didn't believe in his power even if he announced that he had defeated the Great Red, but so what?

Once again, after so many times, he repeated this fact.

In the supernatural world, right or wrong didn't matter.

What was important was strength.

As long as one had strength, standing on the top of everyone, no matter what one did, one would be deemed as the correct one.

Probably because Ajuka knew that Riser could kill him anytime, and Riser wished to play him like a cat played with a mouse that it could eat anytime. While he was angry about being treated like this, he knew that he was helpless, but then again, he wasn't sure whether Riser knew everything.

Did Riser really know everything?

Was Riser asking Ophis before he went to test him?

Ajuka didn't know, but he knew he needed to set up another plan.

Still, among all the individuals present, there was no doubt Baraqiel was the most calm, especially when his daughter was Riser's woman. To be honest, as long as they didn't do anything and just continued to exist, there wouldn't be any problems.

However, Baraqiel knew that everything wouldn't be simple, especially when he thought about his former leader, which made him sigh.

In the end, their meeting ended, and they talked about the Norse Myth that wished to make an alliance with them and also the Greek myth that showed an interest in their alliance.

"Greek myth? That chaotic myth?"

"...um, that one."

While they knew that Riser's way of describing the Greek myth was kind of rude, they knew that he was correct since many gods in that myth were quite... unique.

This was probably the most polite way to describe this myth.

"Can you trust them?" Riser asked in the most polite way.

They all felt awkward, but they nodded.

"Zeus and Poseidon have clearly told us that they wish to fight against the Khaos Brigade," Michael said, but then, he realized what he was saying and felt his heart was beating so fast before he glanced at Ophis. When he saw her still calmly sitting on Riser's lap without even glancing in his direction, he sighed in relief.

In other words, the Greek myth was just scared of the Khaos Brigade, so they decided to follow the trend since they didn't want to be destroyed like the Norse Myth.

"Then, when should we meet them?"

Riser thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it after my match with Roygun Belphegor."

"Eh? Do you still want to participate in the Rating Game?"

"Why not? I still have an interest in becoming the rank 1, after all."

Riser hadn't forgotten about Diehauser, as he wanted to break the championship record.

Nevertheless, with that, their meeting ended, and they returned to their own place, but some wanted to stay in his city.

Riser didn't care about them and just held Serafall's hand as he wouldn't let this woman run away again.

"Follow me."

While Serafall pouted, feeling quite angry due to his decision to sacrifice himself, when he held her hand and pulled her, she couldn't muster any strength and just obediently followed him like a little woman.

"Um."

Tonight, she knew she was going to become a woman after so many years.

Only—

"Don't follow us, Ophis. Stay with others first."
