Becoming a Shadow in the New World

“Indeed, that’s one reason, but it’s too much of a coincidence, as if someone deliberately wanted us to be here.”

"Ajeka, you mean you're worried that someone might take advantage of this gathering of Netherworld forces to cause trouble inside the Netherworld? Is there a problem with the teleportation array?"

In the end, it was Rias's brother, Sazex, who barely managed to understand what Ajeka was trying to say.

If someone is indeed secretly sabotaging the teleportation array and intends to take advantage of the underworld's weakened fighting force to cause trouble, then this operation plan does indeed have a considerable chance of success.

"This is just a partial guess. What I'm worried about is not that the magic array is malfunctioning, but that someone might take advantage of the gathering of powerful figures to attack the venue."

Upon hearing Ajaka's words, the three of them looked at him in surprise, as if they had heard something unbelievable.

It's no wonder they're like this. Look at the field; including Sazex and Ajeka, the number of the world's top fifteen strongest players has already exceeded double digits.

The powerful beings present, mostly at the level of gods or demon kings (SS), though mostly from the underworld, could easily break through three digits if you included those brought from various pantheons.

Frankly speaking, even if Shiva, the god of destruction who is recognized as the strongest outside the world's top five and is considered to be a level above the world's top fifteen, suddenly went berserk and attacked this place, whether he would be defeated without taking any damage or be killed with some minor injuries would depend on whether each pantheon had any intention of weakening the Indian pantheon.

"You mean...Shadow?"

"Yes, the information I received from Sona makes me a little worried."

Sazex revealed Ajca's true thoughts.

If it's a powerhouse of Shadow's caliber, then they certainly have the right to attack the arena.

After all, it is common knowledge that the world's top five are at least two levels stronger than Shiva, who is ranked sixth in the world, and Shiva is one level stronger than the average world's top fifteen.

In addition to the information that Sona reported to them, it was obvious that the Shadow was coming from here. If the Shadow wanted to deal with them, how should they deal with it?

With this thought in mind, the three male demons fell into deep thought.

"Hmm... Ajaka, you make a good point, but does Shadow really need to go through all this trouble to deal with us?"

Finally, unable to get a word in edgewise from the start and standing out from the other three demons, "Leviathan" Seraph, dressed in a magical girl outfit, looked at her three colleagues a few times and asked in a very puzzled tone.

"..."

As if startled by Seraph's voice, Ajeka, Asmodeus, and Sazex exchanged glances and fell silent.

Yeah, do the top five powerhouses in the Shadow World really need to go through all this trouble to kill them?

After realizing this fact, the four of them returned to the atmosphere they had at the beginning.

After all, they don't need to think so much. Anyone below the top five in the world who dares to cause trouble will be killed, given the number of powerful people present. As for the top five in the world, let's not even talk about them. Do they need to make a special plan to kill them? Isn't that too much trouble?

"Hey, what are you guys chatting about that's making you all so happy? Tell me about it."

A middle-aged man who looked carefree and irresponsible appeared next to the four of them.

"Azazel, you've come?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Ajaka greeted him with a smile.

The three people beside him were not surprised by Ajax's actions. After all, they were all technicians, and Azazel was the leader of the fallen angels and the first person in their world to propose a world alliance.

Asahiel perfectly matches Ajax's dating preferences in terms of hobbies, identity, and inclinations.

"Azazel, what's wrong? Is there someone you care about among the contestants below?"

After only a few words, Ajax noticed that Azazel was distracted.

"There is one."

"Oh, I wonder which lucky person is so fortunate as to have caught the eye of the governor of the divine children's watchers, the leader of the fallen angels."

"I wouldn't say I'm lucky, I'm just a little concerned."

Following the direction Azazel pointed out, Ajaka saw a black-haired boy who seemed to have no presence at all.

Ajaca had some recollection of this boy; he was a human whose physical characteristics were unsuitable for reincarnation as a demon. Rias had once asked him to adjust the boy's body after the competition, but other than that, there was nothing else worth noting.

"This guy seems rather ordinary, or is there something special about him that I'm missing?"

"I don't know, but he gave me a very special feeling."

Azazel shook his head. He couldn't quite explain the feeling, but it reminded him of someone very special to him, which made him pay more attention to Sid as well.

"He seems quite ordinary, but to have caught the attention of you, the Fallen Angel Governor, I think there must be something extraordinary about him..."

Ajaka paused halfway through his sentence, glancing at the green-haired mature woman watching their conversation with interest. She seemed to have been drawn to their discussion.

Realizing she had been discovered, the woman gave them a polite smile and nodded to indicate that she meant no harm and was simply curious before turning and leaving.

Their conversation wasn't deliberately concealed, and it's not surprising that it was overheard by a powerful figure in this gathering of strong individuals.

He recognized the green-haired woman; she was a true vampire progenitor from World 2, and one of only three SSS-level powerhouses in World 2. She was also the ruler of the Night Empire's "Chaos Realm," the Chaos Princess Jada Kukokan.

It seems I'm not the only one with this special feeling. What an interesting young man! Let me take a look.

With her back to Ajaka and the others, Jada waved her hand, summoning two leopards that were actually her servants, and secretly sent them to investigate.

But... the feeling that boy gave to that fallen angel was different from the feeling I gave to him.

Jiada stuck out her pink tongue and licked her lips.

For the first time, she had the idea of ​​sucking a man's blood.

But that was all; the temptation wasn't enough to sway her reason, so she had plenty of time to investigate slowly.

As Jiada leisurely left with this thought in mind, she didn't notice one thing: the battle arena below the venue was a separate, independent spatial barrier!

In other words, there is a void in between.

Chapter 102 Levi

How boring! Cao Cao, come out already!

Sid believed that the first half reflected the thoughts of most people in the audience, because even he, who was watching live, was starting to get bored.

Although he wasn't connected to an off-site commentary to prevent information leaks from him, who was unable to participate in the battle due to health reasons, Sid could still clearly know the situation inside the arena through the magic radar.

Judging from the information from the magic feedback, Rias is completely suppressed by her fiancé, and it seems that Rias's engagement is inevitable.

The kitten has been eliminated.

Kiba Yuuto's magical power was fluctuating, indicating he must have suffered a significant injury.

Himejima Akeno's magical power is weak, possibly due to excessive consumption.

Claire defeated two opponents without losing any magic power, and her mental fluctuations were unusually excited... Sid didn't understand, was his sister cheating?

As for the cardboard vampire that was suspected to be a new type of vampire, there's no need to mention it; as he expected, it was killed at the very beginning.

"Even though having a servant like you has made Rias's taste worse!"

Sitting opposite Sid, the blonde girl with twin tails who had been holding something that looked like a tablet computer since the start of the battle suddenly raised her head and looked at Sid with an arrogant expression.

After the match started, he took the truce sign and found a random place to wait for Cao Cao to come out and cause trouble.

During this waiting period, a blonde girl with twin tails, who was also holding a truce sign, wandered around among the Raiza Familia and eventually arrived here.

"As a man, if you sit here alone while your comrades are fighting, are you still a man?"

Noticing Sid's confusion, the blonde girl with twin tails raised her head and spoke in a disdainful tone.

"Putting aside the fact that I have my reasons for not participating in the war, you yourself are doing the same thing, so what right do you have to criticize me?"

"You don't recognize me?!"

Do I need to know you?

“You, you, you…”

As if she had heard something unbelievable, the blonde girl with twin tails pointed at Sid, wanting to say something, but she was so angry that she couldn't even speak clearly.

"Hmph, it seems Rias has really fallen. A man like you, who has no sense of responsibility and doesn't even bother to collect information on the enemy he's fighting, has actually been taken as a familiar."

"Fine, let me tell you my true identity, and let you know the biggest difference between you and me."

After calming down, the blonde with twin tails let out a cold snort.

“I am Ravelle Phoenix. Remember, it’s Phoenix. I’m not like you, a reincarnation of a human and then a demon. I am a pure-blooded demon, the fourth daughter of the Phoenix family, understand?”

"I understand it only halfway."

"...Sigh, I've explained it so clearly and you still don't understand. How exactly did Rias choose you? Fine, I'll mercifully explain it to you."

You might have misunderstood what I meant by "half-understanding"... Never mind, maybe I'm just mistaken.

Seeing Levi's speechless expression, Sid thought to himself.

"Because my perverted older brother has a perverted pursuit of the attributes of his familiars, which you humans seem to call 'cuteness'."

In short, my brother begged me to join his crew so he could have my sister as a subordinate. I finally gave in and reluctantly agreed, becoming one of his demon servants in a rather unusual way. Do you understand now?

After listening to Levi's words, Sid lowered his head, put his hand under his chin as if thinking, and only raised his head after a while.

"So what do all this have to do with you being here now, wearing a truce badge?"
