So the devil decided to adopt a minority meritocracy.

This system is called the Demon Piece. A demon who has been granted a title can have the following pieces: eight soldiers, two knights, two bishops/monks, two castles/chariots, and one queen/queen, for a total of fifteen.

The higher-ranking demon will receive fifteen demon pieces from the Demon King.

By using chess pieces on those you wish to take as servants, you can establish a master-servant relationship.

Rias, who had nothing to hide, looked at Hyakuri.

"Your power is beautiful to me."

"Is this the first time I've met Miss Rias?"

"I trust my judgment, because the aura that the temporary familiars sensed was extraordinary. To put it bluntly... at that moment, Baili-kun, the aura you released seemed to us like that of a great demon using a massive amount of magic."

"In that case, aren't you worried that if I refuse, you'll turn around and threaten me?"

"Everyone has a price."

Rias picked up the chess piece from the table again.

"I think I can meet your offer, and then... become my kin, Hyakuri-kun."

After listening to Rias's speech, Baili has come to a clear conclusion.

A demon chess piece? It doesn't seem as powerful as Destiny...!

Chapter 23: Rejecting Rias, and then... a duel with Rias.

"Become my kin, Hyakuri-kun."

Rias, holding a demon chess piece, extended an invitation to Hyakuri.

Not receiving an immediate answer, Rias offered a new temptation.

"As we mentioned earlier, the aura that the temporary familiars sensed from Baili-kun was quite powerful, no different from that of a high-level demon using large-scale magic, which means..."

Rias made a promise

"You may not have fully developed your power yet, but I can change that."

As a high-ranking demon and a noblewoman in the demon world, Rias controls a vast amount of resources.

She can create money, magic, and even unique weapons.

The reason Rias offered so many conditions was because she was certain of one thing.

“I believe you have enough potential, and that’s exactly the kind of strength I need.”

"Doesn't Miss Rias worry about failing at opening blind boxes?"

Baili reserved his answer and instead asked a question about the past.

This time it was Himejima Akeno's turn to give her reasons.

"Everyone has an upper limit to their pursuits and a lower limit to their goals. In our eyes, Baili Jun's lower limit is probably the upper limit of some demons."

"Wow, it's that exaggerated..."

Baili was somewhat surprised.

This time it wasn't an act.

It seems that imaginary energy is a level higher than demonic power.

The current situation is similar to an ordinary person inviting Baili, who is a god, to join their organization and become their boss's underling.

"If possible, I hope that Baili-kun can uncover something during this conversation. If your power is discovered by others, it might not be a face-to-face conversation."

Himejima Akeno looked out the window.

"The demons besides us are also seeking ways to become stronger, and the methods they use are not necessarily reasonable or correct."

Especially the lone demons.

Rias spoke again at this moment.

"Zhuno and Kyoko, as my family members, already possess sufficient strength, and I believe they can better guide Hyakuri-kun."

"Miss Rias, your only familiars... are Akeno and Koneko?"

"That's true. There aren't many people yet, but this is just the beginning."

Rias confirmed Hyakuri's guess.

The plot is indeed different from the original...

Knight: Yuto Kiba;

Bishop: Gaspar Vladi.

Neither of these two characters has become Rias's familiar.

As for what happens next...

Who knows?

After Baili finished asking his question, he and Rias locked eyes.

Rias now sees Hyakuri as someone with great potential, and believes that once he uses the Devil Piece to become her familiar, he can grow rapidly and become a core force.

In order to prevent Baili from being targeted by other higher-level demons and to reduce future troubles, she wanted to capture Baili now.

"After becoming my servant, you will not only receive the support of the Gremory family; there will also be other rewards for completing tasks. And I am a master who is fair in rewarding and punishing."

As Rias spoke, she straightened her chest, as if to emphasize something.

Baili could also see it...

Rias and Akeno Himejima are both beautiful demon girls with top-notch figures.

This is also one of her assets.

"The reward you desire, I might be able to grant it to you~"

Rias's plan was to lure Baili with different rewards.

Bai Li does indeed like pretty girls.

There's nothing to deny.

Pretending to be a gentleman is just fooling yourself; it's just putting on an act.

However, after having sex with Asia last night, Baili's desire has shifted to how to create the future he wants.

This future clearly does not include becoming Rias's familiar.

Just like the initial idea.

Compared to the power of destiny, the demonic power gained after turning into a demon is far too weak.

After all, the imaginary energy transformed through destiny has more possibilities.

Its potential is an order of magnitude higher than that of a demon.

Even considering the God-Slaying Gear that exists in the original work, in terms of strength, Baili is still on the side of fate.

Therefore, his answer was very straightforward.

"Thank you, Ms. Rias, for thinking so highly of me and extending an invitation."

"So, Baili Jun, what you mean is..."

"But... I refuse."

"..."

"..."

Rias and Akeno Himejima both fell silent.

The little cat from Tacheng, who was staying near the balcony, had lost its previous laziness and relaxed demeanor and instead became serious.

The powerful potential demon who rejected Rias is now at risk of being recruited by other higher-ranking demons...

I imagine that the demon girls, apart from Baili, probably share similar thoughts.

Understanding this, Baili raised his right hand and extended his index finger.

"My reason for refusing is not complicated, there is only one point... Miss Rias, you are not strong enough for me."

"Oh?"

Instead of getting angry, Rias, who had been silent just moments before, became even more interested in Hyakuri.

She doesn't dislike confident people, so she immediately asked...

"That power that we perceived was actually a power that Baili Jun completely controlled?"

"To be precise, it is only a small part of the power that is fully mastered."

A small part?

Himejima Akeno, cupping her cheeks, said with a half-smile.

"Oh my, oh my, Baili-kun, you're quite confident."

"If you don't believe me, would you like to give it a try?"

Bai Li stood up and, in a very gentlemanly manner, extended his right hand to Rias.

"Miss Rias, would you please fight me?"
