  "Roy, what did my father say to you?" Tohru and the others asked as soon as he emerged from the study.

  "Haha, don't worry, it was nothing serious. But things might get a bit hectic soon," Roy replied with a smile, patting Tohru's head.

  "Just tell us, Roy. Whatever it is, we'll face it together," Tohru said, her gaze firm.

  Roy sighed. It seemed he couldn't hide it from them. He expihe situation.

  "So, there's going to be a war? I'm great at those!" Ilulu excimed with a mischievous grin, her cws twitg.

  Bonk!

  Roy flicked her on the forehead.

  Ilulu pouted and shrunk back, seeing his stern expression.

  "Holy, the Dragon Emperor's idea is foolish. Fighting for freedom, defeating the Rulers, and then being the Ruler himself? That will never bring peace," Lucoa ented, shaking her head as she y on the sofa.

  Lucoa beloo the Observers, a fa ons who didn't participate in the war. Tohru had once asked her why she didn't fight, but Lucoa had simply replied that fighting would only bring more chaos.

  Tohru hadn't uood her reasoning.

  But that was the mi of the Observers.

  Roy, however, believed that such a passive stance would eventually lead to trouble.

  "Lucoa-san, you're strong, so you stay out of it. But have you sidered who the Harmony fa will target ohe Chaos fa is defeated?" he asked.

  Lucoa paused, her expression thoughtful.

  Roy k wouldn't be easy to vince her, so he turo Tohru.

  "Tohru, will you bey servant?" he asked.

  "Servant? But I'm already Roy's Maid, aren't I?" Tohru tilted her head in fusion.

  "Well... yes, you are," Roy chuckled.

  He took out a Queen Evil Pied offered it to her.

  "Tohru, accept this power, and we'll overe any obstacle. No one will be able to stop us."

  Tohru, seeing the Devil piece that radiated power simir to Roy's, accepted it without hesitation.

  "Will this make me stronger?" she asked.

  Roy smirked. "Of course."

  "The on me now!" Tohru was eager to bee stronger.

  Roy immediately began ting the intation.

  A blue magic circle appeared in the living room.

  "By the name of Roy Lucifuge, I and thee, Tohru, to bey servant Devil, reborn as my Queen!"

  As he fihe intation, the Queen pie Tohru's hand merged into her body.

  A powerful surge of energy shook the room, dist the space around them.

  Lucoa quickly teleported them to the subspace.

  She watched as Tohru's aura grew stronger, her eyes filled with curiosity.

  Tohru's power surged, reag the pinnaaou-css strength.

  It tio increase but stopped just before reag the peak.

  Roy also received a boost from Tohru's power, his own strength rising to Super Devil!

  "Tohru's power..." Elma gasped, stunned.

  They had been roughly equal in strength, but now Tohru had surpassed her.

  "Maji yabakune~" Kanna excimed, looking at Roy with admiration.

  "I want that power too!" Ilulu decred, her eyes sparkling.

  She wao bee stronger so she could get revenge on Tohru for defeating her in their Bullet Hell games.

  ...

  After a while, Tohru's transformation was plete.

  She floated in the air, a pair of massive dragon wings and a pair of Devil wiending from her back.

  Dragons being Devils wasn't unheard of. For example, Tannin, one of the inal Five Dragon Kings, had voluntarily reinated as a Devil.

  Being a Devil didn't mean abandoning their Dragoage.

  It simply meant they now possessed both bloodlines, plementing each other.

  "Roy!" Tohru opened her eyes and immediately lu Roy, hugging him tightly.

  "Now we'll never be apart!" she decred, feeling the boweerengthen.

  "Yes, of course," Roy replied with a smile, holding her close.

  "Roy, I want that power too," Ilulu said, tugging at his sleeve.

  "No way! Roy only needs me as his servant," Tohru retorted, gring at Ilulu.

  Ilulu ignored her and looked at Roy with pleading eyes.

  "Tohru, I fot to tell you. I actually have many servants already," Roy fessed.

  "Eh?" Tohru pouted, but she didn't let go of him.

  "And our enemies are gods, Tohru. We o make everyoronger."

  "Fiohru finally relented.

  She believed Roy was doing this for her dream of world peace.

  Roy breathed a sigh of relief.

  He then took out another Queen pied ha to Ilulu.

  Ilulu was slightly weaker than Tohru but was still a Mid Maou-css.

  After being a Devil, her strength would reach the High Maou-css.

  ...

  However, she was still weaker than Tohru overall.

  Roy's strength was also pushed to Mid Super Devil.

  "Roy, what about me?" Kanna asked, approag him with an expet look.

  "Of course, here's your piece," Roy replied with a smile, handing her a Queen piece.

  The Queen piece provided the greatest boost among all the Evil Pieces.

  Since Roy had already filled all the positions in his peerage, he decided to make all his future servants Queens.

  After all, he was fident that no one could defeat him in a Rating Game now.

  Kanna was the weakest among them. After being a Devil, she didn't quite reach the mid-level of Maou-css, but she was close.

  Now, only Elma and Lucoa remained.

  "Elma, do you want to bey servant?" Roy asked.

  "No, I 't. I'm with the Harmony fa," Elma replied, shaking her head.

  "Are you still hung up on the Chaos and Harmony fas?"

  "Once we defeat the gods, those fas will naturally disappear," Roy expined.

  "But..." Elma hesitated.

  "Elma, do you think you leave after learning about us?" Roy asked with a sly grin.

  "Eh?" Elma was fused.

  Why was he suddenly threatening her?

  "That's right, Elma. As a member of the Harmony fa, shouldn't ture her?" Tohru chimed in.

  "No more delicious food for a month!"

  "And we'll tempt her with food every day."

  Tohru, Kanna, and Ilulu looked at Elma with mischievous grins.

  Being locked up without freedom and stantly tempted with delicious food...

  Elma shuddered at the thought.

  "Elma, if you join us, you'll have delicious food every day," Roy tempted her, waving various cakes and roasted meat before her.

  Elma drooled, uo resist.

  "Fine, I agree," she finally relented.

  Roy chuckled and put away the food, then pced a Queen pie her hand.

  Elma successfully became a Devil.

  Her strength, parable to Tohru's.

  And boosted by her transformation, finally broke through the limit, reag the peak of Maou-css.

  <><><><><>

  If other Devils knew about his growth rate, they would be astonished.

  And there was indeed someone present who was shocked.

  Roy turo Lucoa, who was staring at him with wide eyes. "Lucoa-san, how about being my servant? I might even be able to help you bee a God again," he offered with a smile.

  Although Lucoa had been surprised by Roy's rapid growth, she hadn't sidered being his servant.

  But his words made her heart skip a beat.

  Bee a God again?

  Would she have a ce to take revenge?

  She recalled the god who had framed her, and her sister, who had self-immoted after their... i, her ashes turning into flower-like feathers.

  A burning desire for revenge filled her heart.

  But could she bee a god again without her godhood?

  "Roy, is it possible to bee a god without godhood?" she asked.

  Godhood was the source of a god's power.

  "Of course," Roy replied fidently.

  The rules of this world couldn't bind him.

  Lucoa, hearing his unwavering response, hesitated for a moment, then nodded resolutely.

  "I'm willing to bee your servant." She opened her eyes, her mismatched gaze filled with determination.

  Roy smiled.

  It seemed his persuasive skills had improved.

  He handed Lucoa a Queen piece.

  Lucoa took the pied exami, then looked at Roy.

  Roy didn't waste any time and begaransformation ritual.

  Lucoa's strength was already at the limit of Super Devil.

  However, the Devil piece pushed her strength beyond her limits.

  Pop!

  A sound echoed from within Lucoa's body.

  Then, a terrifying power erupted from her, shaking the subspace violently.

  Tohru and the others quickly acted to stabilize the dimension.

  Roy's power alsed.

  Their breakthrough was causing havoc. If not for Tohru and the others stabilizing the subspace, it would have colpsed, causing a disaster in the real world.

  After a while, they both broke through their limits!

  Their auras calmed down.
