  "I accept the position of Maou, but..." Roy paused, sidering his options. He had a dition.

  "But what?" Serafall asked eagerly.

  "But don't assign me any tasks. Uhere's a major crisis, I won't participate in any Maou duties," Roy decred.

  He was quite zy. Being a carefree Maou was fine, but he wasn't ied in handling daily administrative tasks.

  He would rather spend his time with the girls.

  Sona and the others' lips twitched.

  Others would do anything to bee a Maou.

  But Roy had demands.

  "Very well. We agree to that," Sirzechs said after a moment of sideration.

  "Then I accept the position," Roy decred.

  Seeing his brother-in-w's straightfreement, Roy didn't hesitate.

  "By the way, Odin, killing Loki won't affect the peace between our fas, will it?" Roy asked with a grin.

  "Of course not. In fact, I apologize for his attempt to disrupt the peace," Odin replied smoothly.

  After the deaths of God and the inal Satans, the power of the Three Fas had deed.

  But now, they were rising again.

  Odin, having witnessed Roy's strength, wouldn't jeopardize their alliance for the sake of Loki.

  <><><><>

  The Four Satans then annouhe rise of the Fifth Maou to the Underworld.

  This News Shocked the Devil unity.

  Many Devils couldn't uand why the Satans would choose a young Devil, especially ara Demon, for such a prestigious position.

  "He's just a Young Devil. What makes him qualified to bee a Maou?"

  "This is an Insult to us Devil Nobles."

  "I object to this boy being a Maou!"

  Many Devil Nobles protested Roy's appoi.

  However, Roy's achievements were soon revealed.

  "Roy-sama is one of the Six Young Kings. He easily defeated Riser Phenex in his debut."

  "Roy-sama also stopped the Old Satan Fa's plot led by Katerea Leviathan."

  "I heard he has thwarted the Khaade's pns many times."

  "And he even effortlessly defeated The Nod Loki, Saving The Underworld."

  As his aplishments were revealed, the tide of public opinion turned.

  Most Devils now supported and admired Roy. Although some ill opposed him, their voices were drowned out.

  Roy's position as the Fifth Maou was firmed.

  <><><><>

  During this time, they remained in Sirzechs's territory.

  The Rating Game tour for the Young Geion, anized by Sirzechs had begun.

  Roy, as a member of the younger geion, had also been assigned oppos.

  However, upon learning that their oppo was Roy, they all forfeited...

  "..."

  Roy and the girls were currently at the Rating Game arena.

  Today was Rias's match. Her oppo was Zephyrdor, the heir to the Gsya-Labos .

  The same deli with tattoos from before.

  "Rias, Good luck," Roy said with a smile.

  "Rias-senpai, good luck!" Asia and Aika cheered.

  "Don't worry!" Rias replied with a fident grin.

  Soon, Rias and Zephyrdor ehe arena.

  Their strength was on pletely different levels. Rias easily defeated Zephyrdor.

  "Roy, your match is against Diodora Astaroth," Grayfia informed him after the match.

  "Oh? He didn't forfeit?" Roy was surprised.

  Diodora shouldn't have the ce to challenge him, unless...

  "Indeed, he didn't forfeit," Grayfia firmed.

  So Diodora had joihe Khaade.

  It seemed obtaining power from Ophis had infted his ego. He had the audacity to challenge Roy.

  "I see," Roy said calmly.

  "Be careful, Roy," Grayfia warned.

  "Don't worry, Sis. He won't cause any trouble," Roy reassured her.

  <><><><>

  The match against Diodora was scheduled for that evening.

  "Good luck, Roy!"

  "Do your best!"

  "Just crush that jerk!"

  This time, it was Rias, Sona, and the others cheering for him.

  "Haha, it'll be a piece of cake," Roy chuckled, giving them a thumbs up.

  He ehe magic circle with his peerage.

  A fsh of light, and they were transported to a vast, barren ndscape.

  Jagged rocks littered the ground, and the sky was a dark crimson, like a se from hell.

  A spiral staircase led to a t castle in the distance.

  "This is strange..."

  "Is that their base?"

  "Something feels off..."

  ...

  The girls noticed the unusual enviro. This didn't seem like a typical Rating Game arena.

  "Diodora Astaroth must have dohis," Saeko deduced.

  "It seems we've been lured into a trap," Esdeath said with a smirk.

  "Yes, this must be Diodora's doing," Roy firmed.

  Just then, numerous magic circles appeared in the sky.

  A horde of Devils, numbering iens of thousands, emerged from the circles, their eyes filled with killing i.

  "This must be the full force of the Astaroth ," Roy scoffed.

  "Hahaha, no matter how strong you are, you 't defeat so many High-css and Middle-css Devils, you? Hahaha, die! Die!" Diodora's voice echoed from the distance.

  "..."

  "Esdeath, you take care of those two over there? I'll deal with this idiot myself," Roy said, pointing towards two figures hiding in the shadows.

  One was a desdant of the previous Asmodeus, named Creuserey Asmodeus.

  The other was a desdant of the previous Beelzebub, named Shalba Beelzebub.

  "Very well," Esdeath agreed.

  ...

  ...

  "Hahaha, if you want to defeat me, then e! I'll be waiting in the castle!" Diodora cackled, then teleported away.

  Roy didn't stop him. He suddenly looked up at the sky.

  Sirzechs and the others were there, seemingly waiting for something.

  He could sense a powerful presence.

  Roy g the castle, then shook his head. "I don't have time to py cat and mouse with him."

  "Saeko, I'll leave him to you."

  With that, Roy vanished.

  "Yes!" Saeko replied, then charged towards the castle with Kurome and the others.

  They cut down any Devil bold enough to stand in their way.

  Although there were many High-css and Middle-css, they were no match for Roy's peerage.

  Roy appeared beside Sirzechs and the others.

  His eyes were fixed on a small figure standing among them.

  It was a young girl with long bck hair, dressed in a bck Gothic Lolita dress. Her delicate features made her look like a por doll.

  Roy instantly reized her as Ophis, the Ouroboron, one of the most powerful beings in this world.

  "I didn't expect you to show up in person. What are you pnning, Ophis?" Azazel asked, his voice wary.

  "Azazel, it's been a while. I'm just here to observe," Ophis replied. Her voice was melodious but devoid of emotion, as if nothing in the world could affect her.

  "Watg from the sidelines? Well, it seems the enemy leader has appeared. If we defeat you here, there will be peace, right?" Azazel chuckled, though his words held a hint of challenge.

  "That's impossible. You 't defeat me, Azazel," Ophis stated ftly.

  Roy, hearing this, couldn't help but ugh.

  Azazel and the others looked at him, as did Ophis.

  "Ahem... The Governeneral's words are always so amusing," Roy said with a smirk.

  Ophis was i, naive, and unworldly, more pure than anyone else.

  Otherwise, she would have retaliated against Azazel's provocation.

  After all, Ophis was one of the most powerful beings in this world, her strength far beyond Azazel's prehension.

  Roy estimated that Ophis was at the level of a "5-B".

  Tier-5 were beings capable of destroying ps.

  Although she had been driven out of the Dimensional Gap by Great Red, her power was on par with his, only slightly weaker.

  Azazel's face twitched in embarrassment.

  "Ophis, what is yoal?" Roy asked, ign Azazel and approag Ophis with a smile.

  "A Silent World."

  "I want to return to my home, the Dimensional Gap, and find peace. That is all."

  Ophis's expression remained bnk.

  Uher Dragons, she was born in the Dimensional Gap.

  It was her home, and she had been exiled from it by Great Red.

  Her goal was simple: defeat Great Red aurn home.

  Sirzechs and the others uood her desire.

  "Then why did you bee the leader of the Khaade?" Roy asked.

  "Because Rizevim promised to help me defeat Great Red," Ophis replied ily.

  "I see. You were used by the Khaade," Sirzechs said, realizing why Ophis had joihem.

  The Khaade wouldn't have been able to rise to promihout Ophis's bag.

  "Ophis, if you want to defeat Great Red, perhaps I help you," Roy offered.

  "Y-You 't..." Ophis said, shaking her head after him.

  Roy was currently Maou level. He was still far from reag their level of power.

  "Oh? So there's someone in the Khaade strohan me?"

  Ophis studied Roy, her gaze lingering on the spirit seals on his arms.

  "No," she finally replied, shaking her head.

  Roy smirked. He had her hooked.

  "If the Khaade doesn't have arohan me, how they help you defeat Great Red?"

  "..."

  "Why don't you join me instead? I help you defeat Great Red," Roy offered.

  Ophis, despite her e, uood his iions.

  Her eyes sparkled with hope.

  "Really?"

  "Of course."

  "Then I agree. If you help me defeat Great Red, I'm willing to share my power with you."

  Ophis accepted his offer.

  She could sense Roy's true strength from the spirit seals on his arms.

  Roy was overjoyed.

  If he could form a tract with Ophis, his power would reach the level of a Tier-5.

  However, the differen their strength was currently too vast. He didn't meet the requirements for a tract yet.

  But he had resolved the Khaade's interferend gained a powerful ally. It was a win-win situation.
