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

A contest of intellect between a powerful individual who bases their work on mysticism and identifies as a scholar...

Su Mu thought that the guy in front of him might have some misunderstanding about him.

The amusement that this misunderstanding brings must have given him a pleasant living experience.

As for Rias's engagement... he couldn't be bothered to consider that at the moment.

"In that case, I agree."

Su Mu spoke calmly, then disappeared from the spot.

"Phew." Seeing Su Mu's figure disappear in front of him, Risel breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, facing someone who was far stronger than him and also had a rather willful personality was a real ordeal for him.

Especially since he usually acts arrogantly and domineeringly because of his status, this made him even more uncomfortable.

Although he was quite confident in his talent, at most he could only possess strength close to or reaching the level of a Demon King during his peak period.

At this time, he was still many years away from that time.

Therefore, he felt considerable pressure facing Su Mu, who already possessed Demon King-level power and had even managed to injure Sazex.

"Thank you for your help, Lord Leviathan."

Coming to his senses, Riesel wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and turned to bow to Seraph behind him.

Although Seraph remained silent throughout, this was already a significant show of support for him.

If it weren't for the strong figure standing behind him, he might not have had the courage to say those provocative words to Su Mu.

Seraphim's eyelids drooped slightly, and her pinkish-purple eyes seemed somewhat distracted.

She clearly didn't bother to respond to Raisel's thanks, merely glancing at him casually.

Without even a nod, her figure vanished in the light of the magic circle.

Riesel showed no dissatisfaction, merely bowing slightly with a hint of unease as he watched Seraph leave.

"It seems that, just as Father said, even if I win the challenge, I will need to consider breaking off my engagement with Rias."

Only when the light of the magic circle faded did Riesel straighten up, his eyes filled with deep thought.

According to the usual situation in the underworld, a marriage alliance with the Demon King's family would be advantageous for the Phoenix family.

However, given the current situation, that may not be the case.

If the situation continues to deteriorate, even the Gremory family may not be able to emerge unscathed from the turmoil.

In other words, it is wise to maintain a necessary distance from the powerful and influential Four Demon Kings.

He did have feelings for Rias, but only because of her beautiful appearance and excellent family background.

Since the other party is also quite resistant to me, I might as well take this opportunity to resolve the matter directly.

Regardless, it's a good opportunity to do that guy a favor.

Of course, what he needs to care about at this moment is...

He should be able to win this "challenge", right?

Although the opponent is far stronger than himself, he is still not old enough and lacks the experience of time.

Even though he is exceptionally gifted in strength, possessing power at such a young age that even the underworld has to take him seriously, it doesn't mean he can be perfect in every aspect.

"I hope things will turn out as I wish."

"Riesel sighed."

"After all, there's no other way..."

Because when the gap in strength is large enough, it cannot be made up for in any other way.

On her way home, Su Mu suddenly stopped, a strange look flashing across her face.

"Seraph, what brings you here all of a sudden? Is something the matter? Perhaps you want to relive your previous experience?"

As he spoke, a middle-aged female demon lord dressed as a magical girl appeared like a mirage not far from Su Mu.

Seraph, who had appeared silently, stared warily at Su Mu, took two steps back, and instinctively put her hands behind her back to protect him.

After all, the memories Su Mu had given her were truly unforgettable.

Even now, thinking back on it, I still feel a dull ache somewhere.

However, she quickly realized what was happening.

She had been severely bullied before, and the culprit was indeed Su Muchi.

However, the one who made the greatest contribution in that incident was none other than the seemingly harmless Ophis, the Infinite Dragon God who could subdue her with just one hand.

Otherwise, how could I, the mighty Demon King, have fallen to such a state?

Thinking of this, she immediately straightened her back and raised her head, her previous timid demeanor vanishing instantly.

Chapter 140 So I Started to Hate It

"I was just a little curious to see how easily you accepted that Phoenix kid's challenge. Perhaps you felt that as the Demon King of the Underworld, you shouldn't appear too weak and easily bullied."

Seraph crossed her arms and casually leaned against a roadside telephone pole, asking in a slightly arrogant tone.

"Besides, Sona-chan should be quite interested in you accepting his challenge."

At this point, the demon king revealed a weasel-like grin on his face, as if he had just stolen a chicken.

No matter how you look at it, this incident will likely draw attention to Rias's engagement to outsiders.

It should be noted that Seraph held a completely negative view of her younger sister's attempt to win over Sona's heart and completely focus on Su Mu.

First of all, as a super doting sister, she naturally doesn't want her precious little sister to suddenly have someone she likes and be taken away from her.

Secondly...

She also didn't think that Su Mu's personality would be a suitable partner for Cang Na.

If Sona believed that Su Mu agreed to Riesel's challenge because he wanted to help Rias resolve her engagement...

Fighting someone to help a lovely girl break free from her arranged marriage is quite a romantic thing.

If it were anyone else, it wouldn't matter, but in Rias Gremory 217, this being, whose identity is extremely similar to that of Sona Shitori, is different.

Sona and Rias are both friends and rivals.

Hmm, will this kind of thing make my Sona-chan have some reservations about the person she originally chose?

She even wondered if she should use her subordinates' influence to vigorously promote the rumors about Rias and Su Mu in the Underworld.

Thinking of this, Seraph felt exceptionally happy, and her eyes involuntarily narrowed.

"Ah, well, I really feel helpless about this too."

Su Mu sighed softly, a troubled look on her face, and rubbed her temples with her fingers.

But there was an undisguised mockery in his eyes.

"To be honest, I had absolutely no desire to accept challenges like this. Rias's engagement was none of my business."

"But, after all, Riesel has the Underworld behind him, so even I can't completely ignore it."

"Especially since there's a demon king who seems to dislike me standing behind me, exerting an invisible pressure on me—"

"Hey, wait a minute! Don't talk nonsense to Cang!" Upon hearing Su Mu's words, Seraph immediately sensed something was wrong.

"I just think that maybe some guy doesn't like me for some reason and is taking this opportunity to get revenge," Su Mu said naturally. "She might even use this opportunity to stir up trouble and smear me. My dear Seraph-chan, who do you think this person is?"

Seraph was furious.

Unfortunately, as the older sister, I am somewhat inadequate in certain aspects, which makes me seem far less trustworthy than this guy.

Therefore, it can be said that their weakness has been completely exploited.

"However, some things that might be unpleasant shouldn't happen, right?"

Seeing Seraphim's tearful expression, Su Mu smiled calmly and spoke in a gentle voice.

“Of course, that will absolutely not happen!” Seraph nodded repeatedly.

Yes, you're right!

Whenever his younger sister is involved, this demon king becomes exceptionally unscrupulous.

Su Mu ignored her and turned to walk home.

In fact, based on Su Mu's own observations, the feelings and trust that Zhi Qu Cang Na had for her older sister were probably deeper than Seraph imagined.

However, girls who are not good at expressing themselves rarely have the opportunity to do so.

Her usual efforts were perhaps also a way of proving something to her demonic older sister.

However, Su Mu didn't care about these things.

The reason why I used to have to consider every aspect of things was essentially because I wasn't capable enough.

The gap in strength often needs to be bridged through efforts in other areas.

But now...

He is the true strongman.

However, even so, Su Mu still did not lose his habit of being cautious.

"Since this world is still relatively safe for me, I should take this opportunity to grow as much as possible—"

Back home, Su Mu sat in his study, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"First of all, in order to get more benefits from the system, we still need to keep causing trouble."

Whatever it is, the bigger the commotion, the better.

For example... Su Mu is currently stirring up a conflict between the three races.

He has already achieved a Gold-level achievement even before the three races have officially clashed.

Once all three parties have thoroughly exhausted their resources, achieving diamond-level status shouldn't be impossible for him.

Thinking this, Su Mu felt instantly happy.

Furthermore, he currently possesses the top-tier holy relic, "Covenant: Spear of Destiny," and the powerful force system residing within it called "Eternal Destruction."
