Seeing the inspiring fighting spirit, Lin Qi immediately nodded and smiled, and took the lead in entering the teleportation device set up in front of him, entering the final venue.
"Lord Riesel, everything is ready. All the family heads have entered the ceremony observation phase and are ready to depart at any time."
"Let's begin then, it's just an exhibition match."
Meanwhile, Riesel nonchalantly entered the teleportation array. In his view, there was no way he could lose this match; it was merely a showcase of his abilities.
--
"Both players enter the arena. The match will officially begin in 5 minutes. Please get ready. All large screens are now linked."
After both sides entered the arena, Shiki Sona, acting as the host, announced to everyone that the magical barriers in front of each family head lit up, revealing Rias and Riesel's two teams.
"Huh, when did Rias's team become full? And they're all unfamiliar faces, but their strength is quite good. It seems that Rias is planning to take this opportunity to completely break free from her family marriage."
"Having more people doesn't guarantee victory. Moreover, according to the intelligence gathered after the start of the tournament, Rias's subordinates have only been together for less than half a month. Even if the individual strength is strong, it won't make a difference. This is a multiplayer game that emphasizes tactics and teamwork, so individual strength is not that important."
"These novices alone are not enough to defeat Riesel."
Riesle's lineup had been fixed for a long time. After entering the battlefield, there was almost no tactical discussion before they dispersed and took their positions, so no one found it strange. On the contrary, Rias's lineup was a pleasant surprise. Although Rias was the next head of the Gremory family, no one was optimistic about her performance in this battle. However, what appeared on the screen was a large group of girls, quietly discussing something, and quickly completing their tactical arrangements before entering the battlefield as well. Judging from the number of players, they had already replenished all their pieces.
However, although Rias has filled all the manpower, there are still very few people who are optimistic about Rias. The third son of the Phoenix family, Riesel, does have something to be proud of in this regard!
This time, besides her original subordinates, all the people Rias sent were Lynch's contractors. Originally, Sona Shiki also planned to infiltrate Rias's team, but Sona Shiki did not do so. Instead, she chose to hide the fact that Rias and she had formed an alliance and prepared to spread Lynch's faith separately in secret. After all, Lynch's real purpose in this world was not to defeat the Phoenix family, but to gain actual rule and spread his faith!
This battle with the Phoenix family was just the first step for Lynch to adapt to his new identity; there will be more and more battles like this in the future where he doesn't personally intervene.
"Did you find these people for your sister?"
Seraph, Sona's older sister and the current Leviathan Demon Lord, looked at Rias's familiars and asked Sazex in a strange tone.
“I didn’t get involved at all.”
Sirzechs shook his head slightly, clearly surprised that Rias had gathered so many familiars without making a sound. Although he doted on his sister, as the current successor to the Demon King Lucifer, his every move was being watched by others, so he didn't interfere in this matter at all.
"I didn't realize Rias was so capable. All of these people are quite strong. They might actually be able to beat Riesel."
After receiving Sazex's answer, Seraph's expression became even stranger. With her discerning eye, she could tell at a glance that most of Rias's familiars were exceptionally strong and experienced in combat. It was no easy task to assemble such a team in a short period of time.
"Not only the newcomers, but also the few familiars who have always been by Rias's side have become stronger. Rias's performance has exceeded my expectations."
Sirzechs knew Rias better than the others and saw more of the bigger picture. The most obvious thing was that the strength of Rias's original familiars had been greatly enhanced, which surprised Sirzechs.
P.S.: The reason for today's late update is this... Remember the mother-daughter issue? We had a heated discussion with readers all afternoon and evening, wrote it, but deleted it multiple times because we weren't satisfied, so we still haven't produced anything. Yes, that's right! It's definitely not because I played mahjong all afternoon, lost and was unwilling to accept it, so I played all evening, only to lose even more.
By the way, I have a list of people who oppose the mother and daughter. Do you want it? (Quickly shifting the blame and changing the subject.)
Chapter 200 253
Just as Riesel was wondering who had interfered in the matter, Lynch appeared in the shadows behind him.
"That's right, I was the one who interfered."
Lin Qi's appearance was strategically placed, allowing him to be completely shrouded in darkness, revealing only his outline. Even through the magical barrier broadcasting the event, the view was entirely dark, making it impossible to see Lin Qi's figure.
Eubeluna and Riesel immediately turned to attack, but Lynch reacted even faster, appearing in another shadowy area in the blink of an eye, still out of everyone's sight. He then said to the two in a relaxed tone, "Don't be nervous, I mean no harm, I just want to talk to you about cooperation."
"Cooperation? What does Rias send you here to discuss with me?"
Having failed in her first attack, Eubeluna immediately turned to strike again, but Riesel stopped her first, his eyes narrowed as he locked onto Lynch's location. He was clearly intrigued by Lynch's sudden appearance and curious about his earlier words. How could Rias have undergone such a transformation in just fifteen days?!
“You’ve got the order wrong. It wasn’t Rias who sent me; it was I who sent Rias to participate in this battle. So, it’s me who wants to discuss cooperation with you. Of course, my current nominal identity is that of a soldier under Rias.”
Lynch chuckled at Riesel's words, then shook his head at him, correcting the mistake in his statement. This battle was originally just to let everyone out for a stroll and to take a look at Shido Sona's ability to arrange tactics. Now that he has seen the results, Lynch is preparing to carry out his final plan in this sub-hell dimension. After Zilias and Shido Sona, Riesel is the third target Lynch has chosen!
Riesel raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised by Lynch's words. He knew his fiancée, chosen by his family, quite well; she was incredibly proud and would never easily submit to anyone. But now, according to Lynch, he was actually above Rias, which made Riesel even more interested. He asked Lynch, "So what do you want to talk about?"
"Uberuna, please go out for a moment."
Lynch didn't rush to answer Riesel's question. Instead, he turned his gaze to Eubeluna, who was standing next to him. Riesel immediately understood Lynch's meaning and decisively waved to Eubeluna, signaling her to leave first. Although Eubeluna wanted to say something, she hesitated for a moment and then left the room as Riesel had instructed.
“Then I won’t waste any more words. Rias and Shito Sona have already signed a contract with me. The two of them will represent the Gremory family and the Sid family to spread my faith. I hope you can do the same.”
When only Lynch and Riesel remained in the room, Lynch clearly stated his position. As Lynch's strength increased, he became more direct and blunt in his speech, no longer liking to beat around the bush, especially when facing men.
"Spreading faith? So you're a god from another world. I'm sorry, I have absolutely no interest in your proposal."
When Riesel heard what Lynch wanted him to do, he immediately realized. As one of the core members of the Phoenix family, Riesel knew many things that others should not know, one of which was the power of faith. This kind of thing was only useful to gods and had no effect on others at all.
So Riesel immediately recognized Lynch's identity, but he still refused without hesitation. Ordinary people might have a sense of awe towards gods, but Riesel was a high-ranking demon. He knew very well what gods were all about. To put it bluntly, the essence of gods was no different from theirs. It was just that their strength was so great that it made everyone feel fear.
"In exchange, I can make you the next head of the Phoenix family. And I swear in the name of the gods that, apart from the power of faith, I will not manage or interfere with the decisions of this world."
Riesel's refusal was actually within Lynch's expectations. Lynch smiled slightly and then proposed his exchange conditions and made guarantees. Strictly speaking, this was a very advantageous deal, because with Lynch's current strength, he could not use any resources other than the power of faith. Even though he had the Dimensional Proof in his hands, he could not refine the entire dimension.
But then again, Lin Qi's promise is just as worthless as the oath made by a man lying on top of a woman. God of deception, do you expect his oath to be useful?
Undoubtedly, the exchange terms proposed by Lynch immediately tempted Riesel. Every major family is bound to have a bloody power struggle when the head of the family changes, especially when there are multiple excellent heirs. Riesel is not the next head of the Phoenix family; he is only the third son, with two older brothers who are more capable and have a better chance of inheriting the Phoenix family's position.
Although Riesel usually acts like a playboy and a spoiled brat, it's impossible to say that a demon has no ambition. Riesel also wants to rise to power, to become the head of the Phoenix family, and even the ruler of the entire sub-hell plane! While some of what he does now is due to his nature, a large part of it is also to hide his ambition and avoid being targeted by his brother too early.
"This is my sincerity."
"This is... Sora's demonic blood essence?! You're a god from the main plane of Hell?!"
Just as Riesel hesitated, Lynch suddenly produced a drop of demon blood. Riesel raised an eyebrow, immediately recognizing the aura of the demon blood! It was the blood of the Phoenix family member who had escaped from their clutches. Everyone thought Sora had already informed the demon apostle who managed the sub-hell plane, but no one expected his blood to appear in Lynch's hands. Riesel immediately wore a solemn expression and began to imagine a series of events.
"No, he originally intended to inform others, but I dealt with him in the process, along with a newly appointed demon apostle. You can rest assured that the rice you want to protect has not been leaked."
P.S.: I've recently realized how inadequate my knowledge is, and I've decided to study hard. So, does anyone know any good hentai anime that you think could be used as the next world (the next world is Lance)? Please leave a comment in the book review section. Thank you, and may you be well. More writing after midnight.
Chapter 201 254
The moment Lynch took out Sora's demon blood, Riesel's pupils shrank. He began to imagine that Lynch was a god of the main plane of hell. After Sora escaped the secondary hell plane with help, Lynch learned about his secrets and information. Therefore, Lynch killed him, thinking that he had the handle on the secondary hell plane. That's why he chose this place as a place to spread his new faith.
Lin Qi immediately saw through the apprehension in Riesel's eyes. Lin Qi was unaware of the series of misunderstandings that followed his killing of Sora. However, since Zhi Qu Cangna was the next head of the Sid family and had a doting older sister who was a powerful demon king, she knew all the confidential information. After learning this, Lin Qi decisively decided to turn the tables and set up his third target on Riesel.
"He originally intended to tip off your superiors, but I dealt with him before that, along with a newly appointed demon apostle. You can rest assured that the secrets you want to protect have not been leaked."
Just as Riesel was filled with suspicion, Lynch smiled at him and offered an explanation.
Lynch's words immediately made Riesel narrow his eyes again. Lynch's words revealed two important pieces of information. First, he did not tell the apostles of the main plane of hell about the plans of the secondary hell plane, which meant he did not intend to do anything. Second, Lynch killed a demon apostle!
The title of "Apostle" is not merely a name; it represents power! Those who can be bestowed the title of "Apostle" must at least reach the sixth rank! And in the entire secondary hell plane, only a handful of people possess the power to reach the sixth rank! These individuals are either heads of demon families or special figures like demon kings.
If Lynch has the ability to kill an Apostle, then he also has the ability to kill most people in the Lesser Hell plane, including him!
"There's no need to rush into a decision. You can think it over carefully first. If you really intend to cooperate with me, you must sign an extremely harsh contract with me. Even a demon might not be able to accept this contract."
Just as Riesel was hesitating and considering the feasibility of this matter, Lynch spoke again and revealed the Dark Pact.
"As expected, it's an extremely harsh contract. Rias and Sona also signed this contract with you?"
When Riesel saw the contents of the Dark Pact, his expression immediately became extremely strange. However, it was precisely because of the extremely harsh contents of the Dark Pact that Riesel believed that Lynch really only wanted to spread the faith secretly behind the back of the gods.
However, Riesel suddenly thought of Rias and Shitori Sona, who were already cooperating with Lynch. If Rias and Shitori Sona had both signed this contract with Lynch, things would become very interesting. They were the next heads of two of the seventy-two remaining demon families in this secondary hell plane!
“That’s right, both of them signed this contract with me. I wouldn’t trust them if they weren’t on my side.”
"Let's talk about the details of the collaboration and see if it's worth the effort."
After receiving Lynch's affirmative answer, Riesel immediately showed a strange expression, then sat down with a relaxed look, propped his chin up with one hand, and began to seriously discuss the possibility and specific details of cooperating with Lynch. Compared to the women Rias and Shiki Sona, Riesel, as the third son who had always been patient and reserved in the Phoenix family, was more comprehensive and meticulous in his work.
Lynch's lips curled slightly; he knew very well that his collaboration with Riesel had essentially been a success.
While Lynch and Riesel were discussing the details, the battles in the simulated Kuoh Academy were almost over. Just as Lynch had predicted, his contractors won every single battle.
When all of Rias's familiars appeared outside the room where Riesel was, Riesel suddenly opened the door and came out, appearing in everyone's sight.
"It was a great match. I lost this time. I know what you want to ask: the annulment of the engagement. But this will not affect the friendship between the Phoenix family and your Gremory family."
When Riesel appeared in everyone's sight, contrary to everyone's expectations, he had a smile on his face and bowed slightly to her like a gentleman. After speaking, he turned around and left the scene. Anyone could see that Riesel was in a good mood at the moment.
Everyone stared at Riesel with strange expressions, finding it hard to believe that this was the same Riesel who had just lost the match; it was as if he were the one who had won.
Before the match even started, almost everyone knew that Riesle wanted to arrange this marriage and had heavily promoted the match. But judging from her behavior, does Riesle have no intention of getting engaged to Rias at all?!
Amidst everyone's astonishment, the match ended just like that. Not only was the process unexpected, but the outcome and Riesle's reaction after his defeat were also strange in many ways. Only Riesle and Lynch knew the truth behind it all.
"Brother, you lost really badly."
As soon as Riesel left the Simulated Kuoh Academy through the magic circle and entered the Phoenix family's territory, his sister, Raville Phoenix, gave him a mocking smile. Raville had always been extremely dissatisfied with Riesel's practice of taking women whose combat strength she didn't even consider as his familiars in order to collect various attributes.
"Lose? Yes, I did lose this time. By the way, I recently met a very interesting person. I'll introduce you to him sometime."
"An interesting person?"
However, contrary to what Levi had imagined, Riesel did not react excessively. Under normal circumstances, if Riesel had lost the match, he would have already jumped up and down without Levi's taunts! But this time, even though Levi mocked him, Riesel remained extremely calm and smiled, and even teased Levi.
One of the terms of the agreement between Riesel and Lynch was Levi's, such an important female attribute that Lynch wouldn't miss out on either.
P.S.: As an honest and straightforward young man, I haven't slept yet, and although I haven't been writing anything, the book review section has given me a lot of suggestions... I've been catching up on my studies... I'm not getting enough nutrition... I spent the whole night reading *The Knight of the Maiden* while trying to write, but my writing efficiency is low...
Chapter 202 255
The highly anticipated showdown between the Phoenix and Gremory families ended in a way that surprised everyone. Riesel, the third son of the Phoenix family who had almost never lost, was defeated head-on by Rias, the unknown and inexperienced nominal next head of the Gremory family, and suffered a crushing defeat!
The political marriage between the Phoenix family and the Gremory family was dissolved due to Riesel's failure. Although the two families failed to conclude this political marriage, their relationship was not damaged or affected. On the contrary, it became even closer. Of course, this closeness refers not only to the Gremory family and Phoenix, but also to the high-ranking demon families of the entire sub-hell plane!
In an instant, all the major families in the entire sub-hell plane seemed to be ignited by Riesel and Rias's [Rating Game], and the outstanding young talents of each family began to participate in the [Rating Game].
These "Rating Games" are actually a symbol of formal alliances between various families. The members who participate in the "Rating Games" are essentially "sacrifices" offered up by the families. Often, the end of a "Rating Game" means the formation of a marriage or one family elite becoming the spouse of another family elite.
The entire sub-hell plane seemed to have completely forgotten the instructions from above, immersing itself in one [Rating Game] after another. On the surface, it appeared to be bustling with activity, but in reality, it seemed somewhat eerie. The true decision-makers of the sub-hell plane seemed to be silently waiting for something.
Of course, Lynch didn't care about the overall situation in the Lesser Hell Dimension. After the battle between Riesel and Rias ended, Lynch and the others returned to Kuoh Academy for classes as if nothing had happened.
"How strange, why are so many people in the academy starting to spread the legend of the God of Deception lately?"
