Except for an incompetent roar, there was nothing that Sirzech could do.
Riser's method was ruthless and bold; he quickly pictured Sirzech as a cold-blooded animal that would sacrifice everyone to gain peace, yet he was also weak as he was licking the fallen angel as if the fallen angel group was his father.
While everyone was scared of Sirzech's power, they had disdain and contempt for him for showing licking the butts of the fallen angel.
As Riser had said before, they were the devil.
They might not like war, but were they so weak that they had to beg the fallen angel? No!
If they begged the fallen angel now, what about the future?
Would they beg for another race?
If they asked for their lives, would Sirzech give them up?
Sirzech's talent in politics might not be that good, but as someone who has been in the world of politics for so long, his understanding was good. He understood what Riser did and could tell that Riser's words swayed everyone.
Yet, he was also helpless, as he knew the only way for him to solve this situation was by killing Vali.
Vali, who had been saved by him.
If Sirzech killed him, then everything was clear up.
Yet, how could he allow himself to be forced into this situation?
How could he be doubted by so many devils like this?
How could he take back the decision which he had made?
Who was he?
Sirzech Lucifer!
The one who bore the name of the Lucifer among all the devils!
"Oh... you want to kill me, right? Well, that's good. I plan to kill you too."
His voice was low and cold, yet at the same time, it was different than those of Sirzech's.
This voice didn't seem to come from a living being.
Instead, it was like a certain force that was shaped into a living being.
While Sirzech knew that Riser was strong, so what?
Who hadn't he killed?
Sirzech has killed everyone, including the respected and noble-like descendants of the true Maou.
Killing Riser and all the devils that came with him, right now and here, was nothing to him.
As for the price to do that? Nothing.
He was Maou Lucifer.
While this name might be a symbol if he wished to kill someone, who dared to say anything?
Even if he killed Riser, he was sure that the Phenex House wouldn't say anything.
Serafall?
Her power wasn't strong enough to match him.
At that moment, a stronger aura emitted from Sirzech's body swept over everyone.
Most of the devil's army that was brought by Sirzech and Serafall fell down and passed out on the spot. Some of those who still retained their consciousness could only fall in horror, and they knew that everything was meaningless in front of Sirzech.
This was the advantage of power.
As long as you had power, everything you did was forgiven.
Only—
If Sirzech was strong enough.
Meanwhile, Riser's aura also grew stronger, and it even matched Sirzech's.
As their aura collided, Riser didn't back down and stood on the spot. His body was battered, full of brushes, and many parts of his body were bleeding, but he still stood tall.
"Finally, you have taken that hyproscy mask off your face. I want to vomit whenever I see that face."
Riser had lost his restraint, and he didn't care about anything anymore.
If the world ends at this moment, then that's it.
After all, he knew if he hesitated, he would lose.
He knew that the reason why he could stand up and match Sirzech's power was all due to a "Crisis." However, he was dying at that moment. The stronger he was, the dying he was. Yet, it didn't matter.
Even if he died, he was going to bring Sirzech's life with him.
His eyes told everyone all of that.
Sirzech was quickly shaken by his determination, yet at that moment, Riser didn't hesitate and attacked Sirzech.
"—?!"
In this battle, the one who had the initiative won.
It was like the case when Riser fought Kokabiel, Vali, and Azazel.
As long as Riser took the initiative, Sirzech would be defeated and down like a bereaved dog.
Nevertheless, unlike before, this time, Riser was serious. He took out the "Magic Spear: Ten Commandments," which he hid, and changed its form into the strongest form of this spear, "Ravelt," increasing his power even further.
Along with his "Bajiquan Mastery," even if Sirzech might not have died, there was no doubt that Sirzech wouldn't be different from being dead.
As for the consequences of his actions?
With power, who dared to give him a punishment?
Moreover, with the backing of the Phenex House, Sitri House, and the Maou Leviathan faction, everything would be clear up.
The chance was in front of him.
There was no need to hesitate!
As long as Riser erased Sirzech, his life would be peaceful, so why not, right?
Meanwhile, Sirzech could feel the killing intent that came from Riser.
Riser was serious.
There was no doubt that Riser planned to kill him.
Even if Sirzech was unprepared, he was still Maou Lucifer, yet facing the strongest blow that came from Riser, he still needed time to prepare, yet—
"Get the hell out of there, Aneki!"
"I won't, Riser-chan!"
"Get the hell out there bitch!"
"No, I won't!"
"....."
Serafall screamed, standing in front of Sirzech as she faced Riser, who was about to stab Sirzech to death. Even if she could see how furious Riser was, she wouldn't step back, standing between them to stop them from fighting.
Facing Serafall, even if Riser was cold-blooded, there was no way for him to stab Serafall to death.
Watching Riser, who stopped his action, Serafall sighed in relief, ignoring the sharp spear that was about to stab her as she believed that Riser wouldn't do something like that before looking at Sirzech, who seemed prepared to do something.
"You too, Sirzech-chan! Stop! Stop! Don't fight anymore! Okay? Don't fight anymore!"
She was already in tears, watching her best friend and brother-in-law ready to kill each other.
Nevertheless, even if Sirzech and Riser didn't say anything, their eyes had never looked away from each other. They kept staring at each other, and when one party was ready to attack, whenever the other moved.
Serafall was annoyed and thought about the source of this problem. She looked at Vali, who had passed, and was ready to kill him to solve this situation. After all, as long as this guy was killed, everything was over. Moreover, she didn't have a good impression of Vali as this guy was the cause of everything, and Vali also had threatened her brother-in-law, and the man—
Naturally, this scene was seen by Azazel, and he quickly stopped it.
"Wait! I, the governor of the fallen angel and the organization, proposed a truce! I wish for peace with the devil! In exchange for the damage that we have caused, I will give you all the data that I have about the Sacred Gear! If you don't feel it's enough, you can take whatever you want, including my life! So..."
Azazel bowed his head and groveled on the dirty ground. "Let Vali stay alive. That's all. That's my only request."
Even though he was injured, Azazel shouted all of his might.
At this moment, everyone stopped breathing, and the space gripped their neck, making them unable to breathe, showing how much pressure and terrifying their current situation was.
Even the proud leader of the Grigori could only lower his head like a dog with only a single hand, causing everyone to look at Riser in awe, fear, and amazement.
In the supernatural world, only the strong were respected.
The weak?
They could only live honestly like how a peasant and commoner were.
By now, no one had said anything like the whole decision was on Riser.
Sirzech?
With his weakling-like attitude, everyone could tell what kind of decision he would make.
Riser didn't care about Azazel as he believed he could slay down all of the fallen angels, especially when he had an "Area of Invisibility." If he couldn't be seen, how could they defend against him?
Yet, watching Serafall, who kept staring at him with teary eyes, he asked indifferently, "Are you really going to stop me?"
"Yes, Riser-chan!"
"Even if Sirzech tries to kill me?"
"I won't let him kill you! Even if he dares, then I will destroy all of his precious things."
Serafall also didn't hesitate.
If Sirzech really dared to kill Riser, then she would really go on a rampage and break the relationship between the two.
Only Sirzech was in shock as he didn't expect the relationship between him and Serafall to be broken so easily with Riser.
Riser didn't say anything and was in silence for a moment before he weaved his spear fluidly and then slammed the blunt part of the spear on the ground, causing an earthquake in the whole area.
Riser took a deep breath and put down his spear as he snapped his fingers.
When the sound of the snap of his fingers was heard, Sona and her peerage members were stunned.
Meanwhile, Saji was pale and wanted to go to the bathroom to check, afraid that he was affected.
Riser then looked at Azazel and said, as he narrowed his eyes, "Please welcome me when I visit your headquarters."
"Ah, un, please come." Azazel's face was so ugly, but then, why did Riser snap his fingers? Nevertheless, he sighed in relief when Riser didn't press this matter forward.
"Ni! Li! Xenovia! Let's go."
The three quickly followed after him.
Sona also wanted to follow him, but—
"Don't follow me."
"...eh?"
"Give me time to be alone."
His voice was cold, which was so much different from how he was so affectionate toward her.
Yet, Riser didn't even glance at Sona and just left with the three in a teleportation circle.
Serafall was stunned and wanted to stop him. "He-Hey, why did you fight? So-chan! Riser-chan!" However, it was too late to stop Riser, and she didn't know where he went. Moreover—
"Onee-chan!"
Sona cried and hugged her older sister tightly since she thought Riser had hated her.
Serafall also wasn't sure what to do as she knew that she had made him angry, too.
Nevertheless, was it over?
Everything is over, right?
Yet—
All the devils that were brought by Sirzech and Serafall for an emergency were erased by Sirzech cruelly.
"AAARRGGGHHHH!"
"Sirzech-sama!"
"Why...?!"
Sirzech didn't say anything and just killed all of them with a flat expression.
"Sirzech..." Serafall hugged her little sister tightly so Sona didn't see all of this. Still, she was helpless, but she didn't stop Sirzech.
Azazel was the same and just sat relaxed since his life and Vali's life were saved, ignoring the death of the devils, but the others couldn't believe what they had seen and felt like their world was spinning and feeling the cruelty of the weak.
After killing all of them with ease, Sirzech looked at all of them with a gentle smile.
"Okay, everything is over. How about you go back and rest?"
"....." Everyone.
While everyone was frightened, Rias looked in the direction where Riser had disappeared absentmindedly.
Meanwhile, Riser, Ni, Li, and Xenovia appeared on the sacred mountain where they stayed before.
Riser, Ni, and Li aside, Xenovia looked at the scenery in her surroundings curiously.
"Hey, your trip took a long time—" Magari stopped when she saw Riser's situation. "What has happened?"
Riser didn't say anything and looked at the system that gave him a quest.
[How dare you! How dare you! How dare you!]
[Wash away this humiliation!]
[Defeat Sirzech Lucifer!]
[Reward: The Ruler.]
Even if the system didn't ask him so, he would do so, but before that, he really wanted to sleep.
*Plop!*
As he passed out, everyone became panicked.
"RISER (RISER-SAMA)!"
