Anime Crossover: Starting with an Infinite Dragon God as a Mount

“My sister, Rebel Phoenix, has always been pampered by her family. She may be a little willful, but she is not a bad child…” Riesel hesitated for a moment, “So, if she has offended you unintentionally, I hope she can be forgiven.”

The only message Beryl sent back was that she was safe and sound.

Therefore, he knew nothing about the whole story of how this little girl became Su Mu's maid. He thought that Rebel had accidentally offended Su Mu, which led to her being captured and made into a maid as punishment.

"Don't worry, Rebel is very well-behaved with me."

"Oh, I see..."

Judging from her tone, Rebel becoming a maid wasn't because she offended the other party.

Riesel pondered for a moment, then tentatively spoke again.

"Then, I wonder if it would be possible to return Rebel? If you need a maid, the Phoenix family has a large number of excellent maids available."

"Furthermore, if you ever need anything in the future, the Phoenix family will certainly not hesitate to help."

The Phoenix family had the confidence to say such things, after all, the "Tears of Phoenix," a miraculous healing medicine, alone was enough to make them one of the wealthiest families in the underworld.

"No need, not interested," Su Mu said lazily. "If you're just here to talk about these boring topics, I'm leaving."

"Wait a minute!" Seeing that Su Mu seemed to be getting up to leave, Riesel quickly stopped him, gritting his teeth, "You are also a student at this school, right? Then do you know about Rias Gremory's engagement?"

I've heard a little about it.

"So, if we can break off the contract with my sister and return Rebel, I'll offer to break off my engagement with Rias Gremory in exchange, how about that?" Riesel said with a somewhat grim expression. "That way, that woman who's always trying to break off the engagement will get her wish, right?"

"That's strange." Su Mu shook her head, finding it somewhat amusing. "Why would I throw away my own maid just to make someone else happy?"

With that, he stood up abruptly, turned around, and prepared to leave.

Chapter 138 Seraph, who came to my doorstep

When Risel saw Su Mu get up and prepare to leave, he was a little dumbfounded.

He originally thought that his engagement with Rias was a trump card he could hold.

As far as he knew, Su Mu seemed to have a good relationship with the two demon kings' sisters when he was at the King of Horses Academy.

Therefore, in his view, as long as this was brought up, Su Mu would definitely agree to bring his sister Rabel back.

After all, her engagement to herself was probably Rias's biggest headache.

Unexpectedly, Su Mu didn't care at all about it?

At the entrance to the rooftop terrace, Seraph's eyes were slightly closed, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

She had long known that Su Mu was definitely not the kind of person with a kind personality. If she tried to guess his thoughts based on the idea that "human nature is inherently good," she would inevitably be greatly disappointed.

Therefore, it was entirely within his expectations that the Phoenix boy's request would be rejected.

Although she appeared here to represent the underworld and help maintain order.

But this was merely something she was required to do because of her position; to ask her to go to the trouble of helping Riesel get her sister back...

Let's forget about it then; Su Mu still has something on her that he can use against her.

She even felt exceptionally happy when she saw others also suffering setbacks at Su Mu's hands.

"Wait a minute! Since that's the case—"

Seeing that Su Mu seemed completely uninterested in his words, Riesel gritted his teeth, a fierce look appearing on his face.

"Since that's the case, then I challenge you to a duel. Do you dare to accept?"

"Oh?" Su Mu paused slightly, a hint of malice flashing in his eyes. "A challenge? Are you serious?"

Knowing full well that he possessed power no less than that of a Demon King, he still chose to challenge himself.

After seeing the third young master of the Phoenix family in person, Su Mu did not believe that he was such a reckless person.

Even the Phoenix family's proud rebirth from the ashes was utterly ineffective against such an overwhelming power disparity.

With Su Mu's strength, he could easily grind him down countless times until his soul and spirit reached their limits and collapsed.

Alternatively, one could use absolute power to completely obliterate him in a crushing manner.

"That's right, it's a challenge from me. Surely you don't lack the courage to accept it?"

Noticing Su Mu's condescending gaze, Riesel instinctively felt a sense of fear.

Those eyes, shimmering with a pale golden light, carried an undisguised mockery.

Besides that, what his gaze revealed was more indifference.

If he weren't backed by the Underworld and had the Demon King Leviathan standing guard beside him, he didn't know if he would still have the courage to stand here.

However, thinking of his sister who was inexplicably bound by a contract and had lost her freedom, he still gritted his teeth and glared back without backing down.

"If I am able to win this challenge, then please release my sister from the contract and allow her to return to the Phoenix family—"

As Riesel spoke, he quickly added another sentence.

“After this, the Phoenix family will not do anything to forcibly interfere with Rebel’s wishes or restrict her freedom.”

This can be considered the Phoenix family's bottom line in negotiations; it's a very low demand.

In other words, they are not against their little princess serving as someone else's maid, but rather they hope to secure a fairly equal status for Rebel.

A contractual relationship implies a "master-servant" dynamic.

If the contract is terminated, even if she continues to work as a maid, her status will be closer to that of a "female member" of the Su Mu family, just like Gurefia in the Gremory family.

The situation among the three nations in the biblical myth is now deteriorating, with their relationship rapidly worsening, to the point where a major war is imminent.

In this situation, it might not be a bad thing to send one's beloved daughter away—the head of the Phoenix family might even have such thoughts.

Moreover, Su Mu's strength and future prospects are worthy of the Phoenix family's investment.

Of course, this condition is based on Rebel's own wishes.

"interesting."

Su Mu wore a faint smile as she raised her hand and gently rubbed her temples.

"If that's the case, then what if I win?"

"Don't tell me you don't have to pay anything if you lose, or I'll think you're messing with me."

"Personally, the only thing I can give up is my engagement to the Gremory family," Riesel sighed, shrugging slightly, his face full of helplessness.

"Seeing certain stereotypical figures reveal different sides of themselves is, I must say, extremely interesting."

Su Mu smiled slightly and sat back down on the railing at the edge of the rooftop.

He did not agree immediately.

Even if he becomes powerful, it doesn't mean he will become an arrogant fool who thinks he can win no matter how bad the situation.

"So, in what area do you want to challenge me? Consider this a friendly hint; if you want to fight me, I don't think you have a chance."

“If it were a clash of forces, even with my most optimistic estimate, I don’t think I would have any chance of winning.” Riesel bowed slightly, performing a standard aristocratic gesture. “If I were to make such an unwise request, it would be irresponsible to my family and my sister, and even an insult to Your Excellency.”

Su Mu was not surprised by his words, and simply watched his performance calmly.

It was entirely within his expectations that the other party would make such a statement.

"Although I consider myself an aristocrat among demons, I cannot ignore the fact that humans are increasingly able to influence the entire demon race. Therefore, I naturally do not neglect the study of humans in my daily life. As a result, I know that humans have always believed that intelligence is their greatest weapon and the key to distinguishing themselves from other species."

Riesel tried his best to slow down his speech, suppressing his heart pounding with nervousness.

After all, he didn't know if his words would provoke the man in front of him who was far stronger than him.

"Therefore, the area in which I wish to challenge you is precisely—wisdom!"

In Riesel's hand, the black demon piece quietly appeared.

"The demonic chess pieces of the underworld are a product inspired by human chess, and I think both of us should have some knowledge of this."

"Furthermore, the princess of the Sidi family once broke off an unwanted engagement by winning a game of chess."

"Therefore, I hope my challenge to you can be conducted in the form of chess!"

P.S.: The reason I went through all this trouble is because I'm so tired of seeing the usual ways to dissolve an engagement... Sigh...

Chapter 139 The Light of God

Riesel lowered his head and waited silently for Su Mu's decision.

He has done everything in his power for his sister, Rebel.

First, lower your demands to simply removing Rebel's contract, rather than insisting that she return to the Phoenix family.

Secondly, when speaking to Su Mu, he deliberately provoked Su Mu by saying that "humans believe that their advantage over other species is their intelligence," forcing Su Mu to accept his challenge.

To be honest, he was quite aware that if a powerful person treated him with such rudeness, it was not impossible for him to be killed on the spot.

However, neither he nor the Phoenix family could accept simply watching Rebel be bound by such a coercive contract without making any effort.

If Su Mu really refuses his challenge... then there's nothing he can do.

When you are outmatched in strength, saying anything is futile.

At this moment, he was simply doing his best to fight for something for his little princess.

"That was quite a performance. Forgive my bluntness, but in terms of knowing when to advance and when to retreat, you're much better than some of the others..."

Su Mu spoke in a cryptic tone, with a slight chuckle in his voice.

Without explaining to Raisel who "certain guys" were, he simply stood up.

Even if I lose, it doesn't seem to do me any harm.

After all, given the current situation of the three races, even the Phoenix family cannot guarantee that they will be safe and sound in the future changes.

In that case, it might be safer for Rebel to stay with Su Mu than to return to her family.

Moreover, the Phoenix family would be happy to see their relationship with Su Mu become even closer.

Furthermore, the little girl at this time did not have any ill feelings towards Su Mu; on the contrary, she had a high degree of favorability towards him.

When the time comes, as long as her parents explain the consequences, that little girl will probably still obediently return here.

Oh, there are still downsides.

That is, without the contract, it would probably lose some of its fun.
