Chapter 335: First step

No one knew about the cooperation between Azazel and the hero faction except for those who were involved.

The power of the Dimensional Lost, the ultimate sacred gear that governed over the barriers and space, wasn't something that could be cracked by anyone. Moreover, the host of this sacred gear was Georg, the descendant of Johann Georg Faust, the man who made a pact with the legendary Devil, Mephisto Pheles, a genius magician.

On this quiet and peaceful night, the two of them left and returned to their own places, waiting for the chance to defeat the strongest Lucifer.

However, while those people had an intense and serious discussion, Riser and Serafall spent their night a loving night together. While Xenovia and Asia wanted to join, he felt like he needed to give Serafall priority first. He knew that it was unfair, but the world was like this, and Serafall had a higher status in this world. Moreover, the devil's world still followed the rule of hierarchy.

As the servants and the reincarnated devils, Xenovia and Asia knew that they needed to be wronged. Yet, they also knew they couldn't be as insolent as when they were with Sona or Rias, especially when they weren't that close with Serafall.

Serafall might be bubbly, warm, kind-hearted, and probably slightly idiotic, yet even so, she was still Maou, one of the devils who stood above everyone.

In this world, the stronger one was, the more lawless they would be.

It was like how many gods often stole the women of others or even princesses so they could sleep with them.

Nevertheless, compared to those gods who were lawless, Riser was more law-abiding, and his decision to fully focus on Serafall tonight was the correct one since she was so cute and loving. They also played by wearing kimonos and enjoyed their time in this old capital of this country.

Still, on the next morning, when they had breakfast, Kunou came; she bowed her head and apologized, "I am sorry for showing such a shameful appearance, Lucifer-sama." She knew how rude her action had been the day before, especially when she had fallen asleep in his arms.

"It's okay. That's normal. You are worried about your mother, after all. You don't need to worry. We will find your mother soon."

"Thank you, Riser-sama."

Kunou wished to hug him again since it was so warm when she was in his arms, but she knew she couldn't do it, especially when she knew how rude her action was.

Still, unlike the original, where there was a limited number of armies that came to handle the problem in Kyoto.

Under Riser's leadership, whether it was angels, devils, fallen angels, or other supernatural beings, they came all together and went to search for Yasaka and hunted down the Khaos Brigade for extra money. It could be said the life of a terrorist in the supernatural world had become a difficult level where it was almost impossible for one to do unless one had a strong power.

There was no lack of people who wished to get easy money, so Kyoto quickly became crowded due to Riser's call.

Then what if the Khaos Brigade didn't appear due to their appearance?

Riser didn't think so since he knew the leader of the Hero Faction was a young man, and the character of the young man had always been reckless. Being smooth sailing gave them confidence, and even if they failed some, they wouldn't give up and persist like a protagonist usually was. It was why many protagonists were young instead of old.

If the protagonists were old, then they would give up and make stable progress with no mistakes.

"Riser-sama, if I can take down the Hero Faction, then reward me tonight, okay?"

Xenovia directly made a deal after she joined the Sitri group to search for Yasaka and took down the hero faction in Kyoto.

"Okay."

Hearing his answer, Xenovia became excited and then brought her team out to hunt down the enemies.

As everyone left, Riser was left alone with Kunou and Serafall. As the leader of the alliance, it wasn't that he shouldn't move, but he knew that it was better that he didn't move since that way, his followers wouldn't appear useless.

"By the way, Kunou, can you guide us around Kyoto?"

"Yes, Lucifer-sama!"

"Please call me Riser, okay?"

Feeling his gentle touch on her hair, Kunou swung her tails right and left happily as she nodded. "Yes, Riser-sama~!"

Serafall only glanced at Riser, but she didn't say anything.

Still, as they had made their decision, under Kunou's guidance, they walked around Kyoto, visiting various places. While it might be strange, as a supernatural being, Kyoto felt like a better place for supernatural beings as this place still preserved the culture of this country well.

"The matcha in this place is great, Riser-sama, Serafall-sama!"

"It's nice."

"Let me try it, Riser-chan."

Along with their group, the three of them visited Uji, the place where the famous Uji tea was born.

"By the way, I have never heard how the kidnappers took down your mother, Kunou?"

Hearing this question, Kunou showed a hatred on her little face. "They are all cowards, Riser-sama! When Okaa-sama was unprepared, and on her way to meet Indra-sama to talk about cooperation, the Hero faction of the Khaos Brigade suddenly came and attacked Okaa-sama's group! Moreover, they are so arrogant for sending the text directly, provoking us..."

As Kunou kept talking, Riser fell into silence.

'Huh? Indra?'

A Hindu myth?

Was the Hindu myth going to get involved?

Frankly, if there was a myth that he was still wary about, there was no doubt it was the Hindu myth and the Chinese myth, as they had religions with one of the greatest numbers of believers.

However, if they were involved, it didn't mean he was scared. Instead, he thought that it was a chance.

In the past, he might not have thought about it and even felt that it was troublesome, but he knew the best way to have a comfortable and lazy life was by dominating this world. The human world aside, the supernatural world had to bow down to him. It was also the reason why he never killed the leaders of the Khaos Brigade, as they were useful.

Riser knew that he needed to be on the side of the righteous, and it was impossible for him to decimate everyone unless he had a reason. If they didn't give him a reason, he couldn't do it.

While he knew that he was the strongest being in this world, if he attacked someone without reason, then what was the difference between him and those dragons that he hated the most?

This was why the Khaos Brigade was necessary, as it could do dirty work for him.

It was like this.

Suddenly, his phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Riser-sama, please come! We're being attacked by the Khaos Brigade!"

Asia's voice was filled with anxiety as she told Riser what was happening. She told her how Azazel fought the leader of the Hero Faction, Cao Cao, while the rest fought the other members of the Hero Faction.

"I will go there."

There was no need to hesitate, and he went directly to the place where they fought. Even though their fighting place was hidden by the "Dimensional Lost," it didn't matter as nothing could be hidden by him, and while there was another reason, he didn't plan to say it since it might be too cruel for the Hero Faction.

"Serafall, come on."

"Um!"

Serafall was happy that Riser didn't leave her, so hearing his voice, she jumped into him and hugged him tightly so he wouldn't push her away in case something dangerous happened like before.

However, before Riser and Serafall were about to leave, Kunou held his leg tightly.

"Wait, Riser-sama! Please let me come with you! I want to save Okaa-sama too! I... I..."

Kunou knew that her decision was reckless, but even so, she still wished to follow them.

"Kunou-chan..."

While Serafall thought of a reason to reject Kunou, Riser said, "Okay, come with me." While he wanted to carry Kunou on his arm, Kunou seemed to follow Serafall's method by hugging his leg tightly like a koala.

"...."

"...hold me tight."

"Um!"

There were many things that Riser wanted to say, but he kept all of them inside.

The three of them then flew in the direction of the battle.

All the armies also followed him quickly as soon as possible.

As expected, when they arrived, there was nothing, but Riser somehow burnt the space, and a gap emerged before they saw the scene that left all of them baffled.

"Wha—"

Azazel was there, fighting Cao Cao, but unexpectedly, he died.

With lifeless eyes, his heart was pierced by the True Longinus, dying by this blow.

At that moment, everything was in silence before a voice of the army of the fallen angels that came with Riser echoed throughout the space.

"GOVERNOR!!!"
