Chapter 351: Normal Vali

"Wh-What do you mean?"

Vali's voice was trembling as he heard Riser's voice.

"I will take out the blood of Lucifer and the Divine Dividing in your body, making you a normal human, and let you leave with your family."

Riser's voice was calm, but Vali felt like his body was struck down by thunder in disbelief.

Vali wished to say something, but unfortunately, no words came out from his lips. What Riser was about to do was so outrageous that he wasn't sure how to respond. He was planning to die, yet Riser told him that he would become a normal human.

"Is-Is that true?" However, Albion's voice was full of anticipation.

"Yes." Riser nodded. "I plan to cut his relationship with the supernatural world, and he will be living as a normal human, Vali, without any a single relationship with this side again. I will also heal him so he won't become disabled again."

"Then, please! I beg you!"

Instead of suffering a painful death, Albion was glad that Vali had such an end. As for him being taken by Riser, he didn't mind at all, especially when he had been living so long. Death was nothing for him. Well, he had already died, but he still had his consciousness, yet even if it was gone, it didn't matter since even if a new host appeared, he knew that it was meaningless to fight Riser. He might as well have been taken by Riser immediately, so it would have given Vali a more favorable treatment.

Albion knew how many times he had caused Vali trouble due to his arrogance and stupid decision, so this was the only thing he could do to repay for what he had done.

So Vali and his family can have a good life.

That was probably Albion's only wish now.

Yet, there was no doubt that Vali was luckier than any hosts of the Divine Dividing since almost all of them had a cruel death awaiting them, yet Vali had such a human end.

As for doubting Riser?

There was no such a thing since what was the use of him lying to them?

Riser might be their enemy, but there was no doubt his words were more believable than Cao Cao or the future Gasper. It wasn't that Riser was kind, but his reputation as someone trustworthy had never been broken.

They knew that as long as Riser would do it, then he would do it.

"You don't need to beg, and this isn't a request. This is just an announcement. You don't have any right to refuse."

"....." Vali and Albion.

Whether Vali or Albion, neither of them spoke anymore, and Riser healed Vali's disabled body, recovering him to his most perfect state. Watching everything happen, the two of them fell into silence.

Riser is famous for being the strongest Lucifer, with powerful physical strength and powerful flame ability, but there was no doubt what made him even more famous was his ability at healing.

Vali knew that his body was almost impossible to recover and that the future Gasper could do nothing, yet Riser could save him in just a single moment.

So, would Vali attack him?

No way.

Even Albion didn't even say anything.

The reason why Riser dared to do so was to show that he didn't care whether Vali was hurt or not since no matter what Vali's condition was, it didn't change the fact that it was impossible for Vali to win.

"You will forget everything after this. Do you have the last words?"

How kind.

Albion and Vali thought.

Vali took a deep breath, then said, "Thank you for everything, Albion."

"No, no. Me too. I am glad that I have you as my host, Vali..." Albion wished to cry at this moment.

Vali then closed his eyes and remembered every one of his adventures in life before his arrogance destroyed everything. He thought that he was the chosen one, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case. The reality before him crumbled, and living like a normal person was something that he sought after.

Still, there was something that he needed to say, even though he knew that it was quite wrong.

"Um... Riser Lucifer-sama, can I have the last words for you?"

"Sure." Riser felt it was a bit funny for Vali to be so humble that Vali would call his full name and even added a "-sama" suffix.

"Please take care of Reni."

"Reni?"

"Levinia Reni."

"Are you in love with her?"

"..."

Vali took a deep breath and then said, "She has taken care of me during my childhood. I care for her like my family."

"Is that so?"

Vali didn't hear Riser's answer and became anxious. What could he do?

There was nothing that he could do; the weak had the right, and he knew that too late.

Closing his eyes, everything was in the dark, and Vali couldn't remember anything except for his family.

After manipulating Vali's memory, Riser took out the "Divine Dividing" by using the power of "Kote Kote no Mi" and "Degrenate."

Inside the "Divine Dividing," Albion saw all of this, and he even saw all the consciousness of his previous hosts erased directly, without any resistance. Watching all of this, he didn't even say a single word as he was afraid that Riser might change his mind to kill Vali. Frankly, there were many things he wanted to ask as he wondered how a devil from the Phenex House could do all of this.

Yet, what Albion was surprised by was that Riser could use the Divide Dividing.

"Balance Breaker!"

Suddenly, Riser's body was wrapped in the silver dragon armor like Vali had in the past.

"..." Albion.

Riser didn't use the "Divine Dividing" for too long and then returned to normal. Even so, he didn't expect that using the "Divine Dividing" would take energy. Still, with its ability to absorb half of the target's energy, this consumption was as good as none.

"Is there something you want to ask, Albion?"

"...just, what's your plan?"

"Plan?"

"I mean... you can use me after all."

While the "Divine Dividing" might be only a mid-tier Longinus, it was still Longinus, and those who gained its power could definitely destroy the world, so Albion wondered what Riser planned to do with the power of the "Divine Dividing."

However, Riser only chuckled and said, "You are funny. Even without you, no one can defeat me."

"..." Albion.

Riser's words were arrogant, but that was the truth.

"Well, you are good and not stupid, so I don't plan to erase your consciousness, or do you want me to erase your consciousness, Albion?"

"I..." Albion was surprised but also hesitant. "...is that possible?"

"Whether your consciousness exists or not, it doesn't matter to me. Your conscience can't do anything after all."

It hurt, Albion thought, but he knew that was the truth.

Everything was within Riser's palm.

"Is there any point in asking me a question then?"

"I will give Vali safety and a nice life, but you must also give something in exchange."

As expected, Albion thought since he knew that it was impossible for Riser to be so kind. Still, even if Riser was evil, he could be trusted. Moreover, Albion felt it was better this way since it was a transaction instead of charity.

"If you keep Vali's safety and let him have a normal life with his family, then I can do everything for you."

"That's good. I like to talk with smart people." Riser was satisfied with Albion. "Then, tell me about Ddraig's information."

"Ddraig?"

Issei would reincarnate sooner or later, so Riser needed more information about the "Boosted Gear" since his information was limited. Issei and Ddraig might not be able to defeat him, but it wouldn't hurt to be careful, right?

"Oh, right. I almost forgot."

Before giving Vali a normal life, Riser was going to take out another thing from Vali.

Watching the twelves blaze the devil-like wings that grew behind Riser, Albion knew no one in the world could defeat this demon.
