"Tell me, and I'll do my best!"

This action immediately set Hyodo Issei's mind racing with wild fantasies. He started nodding frantically, his mind already filled with endless daydreams.

At that moment, Rena said softly to Hyoudou Issei, "Then please die."

"what?"

Hyoudou Issei was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard. Before he could come to his senses, a sharp pain shot through the back of his head, and everything went black. He lost consciousness.

"Huh? What am I... Yuuma! Don't joke like that!"

When Hyoudou Issei woke up again, he was in the church's basement, nailed to the wall with his hands and feet like Jesus, chained and stripped naked. The wall behind him and his body were covered with various magic circles. These magic circles were originally prepared by Rena to seize the artifact "The Smile of the Virgin Mary" from Sister Aisha, but now they had been strengthened and modified to seize the Red Dragon Emperor's Hand from Hyoudou Issei.

Upon realizing his situation, Hyoudou Issei immediately broke into a tense and awkward smile, calling out to Rena, who was using the alias Amano Yuuma, not far away.

Lina simply smiled and didn't say anything. Instead, Lin Qi emerged from the darkness and calmly said to Hyoudou Issei, "This is no joke."

"Lin Qi?! It's you?! What do you want?!"

"There's something I want inside you, so I'm going to take it out. That's why I'm sorry to trouble you. In return, as a form of repayment and exchange, haven't I let you, as a single person, experience the joy of love and dating? For a single person, there's nothing more valuable than that."

Upon seeing Lin Qi, Hyoudou Issei immediately roared.

Lin Qi, with a strange smile, explained to Hyoudou Issei that his goal was not to kill Hyoudou Issei, but to target the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Hand within Hyoudou Issei's body!

"what!!!"

After Lin Qi finished explaining, he immediately signaled Lina Li to activate the magic circle. Instantly, bursts of intense light emanated from the magic circle, along with Hyoudou Issei's agonizing screams!

The magic circle on Hyoudou Issei rapidly merged into his body, and a series of roars suddenly rang out from within him. His left hand was the first to change, and it actually entered the activation state on its own!

Chapter 148 201

"As expected of one of the top thirteen divine instruments of destruction, the strength of your struggle and resistance is really great. Fortunately, I have many capable people under my command. Now it's up to you."

Lin Qi never underestimated any opponent, even if the opponent was just a prop. So after he obtained the magic circle for extracting the artifact from Lina Li, he handed it over to his think tank. That's why Lina Li's magic circle was different from hers, and even Hyoudou Issei's body was covered with countless magic circles.

From the beginning, Lin Qi guessed that the soul of the Crimson Dragon Emperor, sealed in the hands of the Crimson Dragon Emperor, would not cooperate so easily.

Lin Qi greeted the people behind him, then reached out and placed his hand on one of the six-pointed stars on the wall. The Dark Queen, the Elf Goddess, Kaguya, Prim, and Aishu, who had been forcibly brought over by the Dark Gate, also occupied one of the six-pointed stars, continuously pouring their magic power into the magic circle.

Apart from Lynch, the other five are all professional magicians with amazing magical power. However, Lynch has the magical power stored in the Philosopher's Stone and can also take drugs, so he can keep up with the speed at which the magic circle consumes magic power.

As the six people joined forces to provide a massive amount of magic power to the magic circle, six different colored magic chains shot out from the six points of the hexagram and entered the magic circle on Hyoudou Issei's body. Hyoudou Issei let out another miserable howl, but the dragon roar within his body grew weaker and weaker. Suddenly, all the magic circles on his body seemed to come alive, transforming into streams of magic runes that began to converge on his left arm, along with Hyoudou Issei's flesh and blood!

Although the modified magic circle could forcibly suppress the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Hand, it would also damage Hyoudou Issei's body. However, Lin Qi felt no guilt about this. After all, Hyoudou Issei was going to die anyway after the divine artifact was extracted. The only difference was whether he died a better death or a worse one.

In the end, a flat, round gem was forcibly pulled out from the back of Hyoudou Issei's left hand by countless three-dimensional magic patterns!

As the flat, round gem was pulled out of Hyoudou Issei's body, Hyoudou Issei let out a painful scream and fainted, his life force gradually fading away.

However, no one paid any attention to Hyoudou Issei. In the end, he was just an ordinary student with a divine artifact residing in his body that had not yet been activated. No matter how many opportunities or possibilities he might have in the future, they were all completely impossible now, because his only reliance, the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Hand, had been taken away by Lin Qi. In addition, just in case, he had been stripped naked to ensure that nothing would be left on him.

"It turns out that the Hand of the Crimson Dragon Emperor is a sealing artifact made using the dragon crystal of the Crimson Dragon Emperor Draig as its core and dragon scales as its main materials. His soul is still sleeping inside it."

Just as everyone was focused on the flat, round, transparent gem, Shyvana, who had been disguised as a shoulder guard on Lynch's shoulder, suddenly spoke up and explained the composition of the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Hand in one go.

"Is the Crimson Dragon Emperor Glad famous?"

Although Lin Qi knew that Hyoudou Issei possessed the Hand of the Crimson Dragon Emperor, he couldn't recall the Crimson Dragon Emperor's name. Now, hearing this from Shyvana clearly indicated that even Shyvana knew about the Crimson Dragon Emperor's deeds.

“He was once a candidate for the supreme god, just like me, but he was stronger, strong enough to kill me.”

Shyvana used the most direct and intuitive way to describe the Red Dragon Emperor's strength. Dragons are proud and arrogant creatures, and the only way to make them admit that someone is stronger than them is with overwhelming power.

"Tch, it's not that he's too strong, it's that you're too weak. There are thirteen others who can fight just as well as him!"

"..."

However, Lin Qi glanced at Shyvana with disdain and mocked her from another angle. At this moment, he also learned about Shyvana's strength from another perspective. After the Red Dragon Emperor was sealed, he became one of the Thirteen Gods of Annihilation. That is to say, there are 13 others at the same level as him, or even higher. In this case, Shyvana did not know where she would be ranked.

Shyvana remained surprisingly silent. Although not every God-Slaying Gear sealed an existence like the Crimson Dragon Emperor, what Lynch said was not wrong in a strict sense. Back then, Shyvana barely managed to become a candidate for the God of God before being killed by the current God of God. To be honest, she was indeed among the weakest of the candidates for the God of God.

"Red Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets: One of the Thirteen God-Slaying Gears, sealing the soul of the Red Dragon Emperor, Gled. After fusing with oneself, one can gain the right to use the Red Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets. Please study the specific abilities yourself. The power of the Red Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets increases as the user's control over them increases."

"High-end products are indeed different; even the instructions are more impressive than those for ordinary equipment."

When Lin Qi checked the attributes of the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Hand, he immediately rolled his eyes. This was the most vague attribute description Lin Qi had ever seen. To be precise, there were no attributes at all! It was just a description of what Lin Qi had in his hand! 

"Red Dragon Emperor's Gauntlet (Basic Form): Attached Skill: Amplification. Amplification: Doubles the owner's power every 10 seconds. The amplification is canceled after being attacked. The amplified power is reset after release. The higher the amplification power multiplier, the longer the cooldown time. The stronger the user's own physical strength, the higher the upper limit of the amplified power that can be withstood."

Without even glancing at Lin Qi, he directly chose to merge with himself. Although Lin Qi didn't know whether the artifacts of this world were strictly speaking artifacts, the power of the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Hand was undeniable. Even a lecherous young man like Hyoudou Issei was able to use this thing to marry a rich and beautiful woman, open a crystal palace, and reach the pinnacle of life. This already proved everything!

Fortunately, Lin Qi had the Holy Demon Touch on his left hand but nothing on his right. With the armor of the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Hand, his mother no longer had to worry about him not having any armor to wear!

However, the ideal is often far from reality. After choosing to fuse with the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Hand, Lin Qi discovered that he didn't have the protagonist's halo! Directly entering the Forbidden Hand, Tyrant Dragon, or Released Form was indeed impossible! Right now, Lin Qi only possessed a red suit of armor, and he hadn't even transformed his five fingers into the most basic claw form!

However, Lin Qi was not one to wallow in self-pity. Even Hyoudou Issei's abilities after awakening were developed step by step, such as relying on Rias's breasts to advance all the way up. Of course, Hyoudou Issei also gained the Red Dragon Emperor's approval by constantly engaging in homosexual relationships with the Red Dragon Emperor's soul. However, as a straight man, Lin Qi obviously did not intend to choose this path of development.

P.S.: Only four updates today. I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep now. Goodnight everyone, I had so much fun with my boyfriend last night.

Chapter 149 202

Just as Lin Qi had extracted and fused with the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Hand, Toujou Koneko, who had already returned outside the church, came back again, along with Rias!

Rias initially noticed Hyoudou Issei simply because she occasionally sensed the aura of a divine artifact emanating from him. Perhaps for others, encountering someone who possesses a divine artifact would lead them to seize it, but Rias is different. She never deliberately forces things, even though her familiars consist of only a queen, a chariot, and a knight, she still pays too much attention to Hyoudou Issei.

It was only by sending the chariot's cat, Toujou, to observe in secret that they unexpectedly discovered that the Fallen Angel had his eye on Hyoudou Issei. This confirmed that Hyoudou Issei was indeed no ordinary person, and the Fallen Angel had obviously also discovered that he possessed a divine artifact.

Even so, Rias remained indifferent, taking no action. She had long been aware of the fallen angels' restless activities in the city, but her principle was to ignore them as long as they didn't affect her. Besides, according to Koneko, Rena ultimately brought Hyoudou Issei into the church, and there was a prohibition among demons—they were absolutely forbidden from approaching the church!

The Church and demons are enemies. If demons attack the Church, the issue will escalate to the level of the demon realm and the divine realm, potentially triggering another great war between the entire demon and angel races! Moreover, the Church has a large number of exorcists who specialize in targeting demons. Once a demon is purified by an exorcist, it will be completely eradicated!

Although Rias, as a demon, is not afraid of exorcists, the feeling of being enveloped in holy light is something every demon detests.

According to Rias's usual personality, this matter should have ended there, but for some reason, Rias, who was quietly reading a book, suddenly felt extremely uneasy. It was as if some kind of bond in her destiny was slowly breaking! Something that was very important to her was drifting away from her!

This vague irritation suddenly became clear to her when Toujou Kōne appeared before her and relayed the news about Hyoudou Issei. She realized that the source of her inner turmoil was Hyoudou Issei!

A demon's intuition is always terrifying, and Rias is no exception. A large part of the reason she noticed Hyoudou Issei was due to that initial intuition, so Rias decided to find out for herself what was going on. That's why, led by Toujou Koneko, she arrived outside the church as quickly as possible. As for prohibitions and principles, to hell with them!

"strangeness……"

Toujou Koneko glanced at Rias. As soon as Rias opened her mouth, she would immediately fulfill her duty as a chariot driver, rush into the church, and clear a path for Rias.

But the kitten suddenly noticed that Rias was spacing out at this moment, seemingly lost in thought. After a while, she muttered to herself in confusion.

Finally, the kitten couldn't help but ask, "Lady Rias, what's wrong?"

"That strange feeling is gone. Could it have been just my imagination?"

Rias didn't hide anything and explained directly to the kitten that before and on the way here, her strange intuition was still very strong, but just now, this strange sense of bond suddenly disappeared, as if it had never existed.

"Then... Lady Rias, please be careful!"

Upon hearing Rias's words, the little cat immediately prepared to ask what to do. Suddenly, the little cat's pupils contracted, and it stood directly in front of Rias, its arms blocking its way!

"Zi!"

Immediately afterwards, a spear of light struck Tacheng Xiaomao's arm and shattered.

"Oh, I didn't expect it to be a demon. According to the agreement between angels and demons, you have now violated the agreement and entered the territory of the church."

Rena, with her fallen angel black wings spread wide, stood atop the church, watching Rias and Koneko Toujou with a mocking smile. She had returned to the church's surface to oversee the outer perimeter when Lynch began extracting the Red Dragon Emperor's Hand from Issei Hyoudou. Initially, she hadn't noticed Rias's presence until Lynch announced her arrival! The arrival of Koneko Toujou and Rias triggered the alarm system Lynch had initially set up outside the church.

Following Lynch's instructions, Lina then launched a symbolic attack on Rias.

"That's an agreement between demons and angels, it has nothing to do with fallen angels."

Rias looked at Rena with a somewhat cold expression. The inexplicable feeling she had just experienced had already made her feel bad, and now that she had been attacked by a fallen angel, she was naturally even more annoyed.

"So, Miss Devil, what brings you here?"

"I'm just a little annoyed that fallen angels are wandering around in the cities under my jurisdiction."

Rias's answer made Rena shrug. Rias asked another question with a helpless expression, but Rias gave her a cold look and then gave Koneko Toujou a wink. Koneko Toujou immediately understood Rias's meaning and immediately fulfilled the duties of the chariot, charging straight towards Rena!

Just then, a figure suddenly rushed out and appeared directly in front of Tacheng Xiaomao. A flash of light appeared on his right arm, and with just his fist, he sent Tacheng Xiaomao flying, crashing heavily into a distant mountain!

The one who sent the little cat of the tower flying with a single blow was Lynch, who used the deceptive cloak of the god of deception to disguise himself as the already dead Donashik.

Lin Qi was immersed in the joy of obtaining the new item when he saw Ta Cheng Xiao Mao make a move. He couldn't help but try to test the amplification power of the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Hand, but the effect was far beyond Lin Qi's expectations.

The demon's familiars and Lynch's dark contract are somewhat similar, yet different. Familiars are granted the characteristics of the corresponding chess piece, and Toujou Koneko is actually a pure-blooded demon with formidable strength. Furthermore, the chariot ability she received grants her a double enhancement of both strength and defense, making her level at least level five, if not exceeding level six. However, unexpectedly, after using his amplified power, Lynch actually sent her flying with a single punch! This means that Lynch now possesses the strength to directly confront a level five opponent!

Tacheng Xiaomao climbed up from the mountaintop, dusted himself off, and his arm, which had been hit directly, was already red and swollen. If it had been anyone else, this blow would probably have resulted in at least a broken arm!

"Alright then, I'll leave."

Just as Rias was preparing to take action herself with a gloomy expression, Rena waved her hand first, making a concession.

After saying that, he turned around and flew rapidly out of the city without any hesitation, while Lin Qi also disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Chapter 150 203

Rias didn't chase after Rena, but instead asked Toujou Koneko, who had returned to her side, "How are you?"

"That man was very strong, and he didn't use his full strength. His movements seemed very clumsy. Otherwise, I wouldn't have suffered such a minor injury."

With a blank expression, Toujou Koneko waved her hand, showing Rias the redness and swelling on her arm, and made her own judgment. Indeed, as Koneko said, this was the first time Lynch had used the amplification effect of the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Hand, and he almost couldn't control his power.

“Keep an eye on these fallen angels and figure out what they’re up to. I don’t believe they’ll leave so easily. Let’s go to the church and see what they’re up to.”

Rias nodded to Toujou Koneko and added a word of advice: these fallen angels are never obedient creatures, but this time they were being a little too cooperative, which made Rias feel a little strange.

After taking a deep look at the church in front of her, Rias decided to go in and see what Rena was doing inside. As soon as they entered the church, they smelled blood. In the very center of the church, Hyoudou Issei's body lay lifeless.

"He's dead. His divine artifact has been taken away."

After glancing at it, Tacheng Xiaomao said indifferently.

For some reason, Rias felt a little sad, as if someone important to her had collapsed in front of her. However, this feeling came and went quickly.

"Go and deal with everyone's memories of Hyoudou Issei, and don't let this matter escalate."

The thought of Hyoudou Issei only flashed through Rias's mind for a moment, and Rias calmly made the most rational decision.

Tacheng Cat nodded slightly, indicating that she knew what to do. This wasn't the first time the fallen angels had killed someone; many times, these demons had cleaned up the mess for them, so they were quite adept at doing these things.

If Hyoudou Issei's divine weapon hadn't been stolen, she might have considered developing him into her familiar, since she was in need of people. However, Hyoudou Issei, despite possessing a divine weapon, was just an ordinary student. There were plenty of people like him at Kuoh Academy, so there was no need to develop him. Every pawn in the hands of a high-ranking demon is precious.

 After taking one last look at Hyoudou Issei's body, Rias left the church. Little did she know that Lynch's intervention had completely changed her life, leading her down a completely different path.

Lynch had never actually left the church; he had been watching everything from the shadows. Lina's departure was naturally directed by Lynch. Lynch had no intention of starting a fight with Rias here; he had simply asked Lina to buy him some time to deal with the situation.
