Riser wondered how many evil gods wished to follow him.
Yet, it was great that they didn't do anything strange and decided to follow him. Though, he had to say, he was surprised when he saw Hades was there.
Hades stood in the corner, seemingly awkwardly, looking away.
If Riser had to say, Hades was like a boy who had made his friend cry, then feeling regret before he was forced by the teacher to apologize.
"Hades, what are you doing?"
"Come! Didn't you want to apologize!"
"Hurry up!"
Hades felt so ashamed at this moment; his skill-like face blushed somehow before he looked at Riser with an awkward expression and apologized, "..I am sorry for what I have done before, Riser Lucifer-sama." He probably also wasn't used to apologizing, so he wasn't sure what to say after this. Yet, this couldn't be blamed.
He is Hades!
The god of death!
How could such a mighty being apologize to others?
If someone made a mistake, they would be the one killed by him!
Yet, Riser was different since Riser was much, much stronger than him, and Hades also didn't want to fight with him anymore as having a peaceful life and fighting the creatures from another world and parallel world was better.
"...no, it's okay. It's great that we don't need to fight each other due to a small matter."
Riser was speechless, but he decided to accept Hades' apology since he was amazed by Hades' willingness to apologize. Unlike others, who could only apologize unwillingly after being forced or just stayed outside, ignoring everything and pretending that they had never done anything wrong, Hades was a man for being able to take the initiative to meet him and apologize in front of his friends.
"Yeah, it's great."
The beginning of their fight all started due to the Five Principal Clans, the human, and for them, the human was just a small insignificant being; why should they be troubled by it?
Still, Hades also realized that Riser wasn't bad at all. Even though Riser was above all of them, Riser didn't pretend to be such a being and even treated them like a friend, which was great!
Nevertheless, Riser realized when he lost something, he would also receive something. When those who followed the original would leave and even fight him, those who fought the original main character would all follow him.
Even Hades, who at first tried to antagonize him, somehow mellowed up and told him everything about Rizevim.
"Rizevim."
"Yes..." Hades felt a little awkward, but he said, "He used Cocytus as a place to hide."
"You let him hide in your place?"
"Um."
"....."
What should Riser say at this moment?
"Well, it isn't really that big of a problem."
In his mind, Rizevim was nothing but a tool.
Rizevim thought that he could make a splash on the world, but what he didn't know was that everything was already in Riser's control.
Still, if Issei could get stronger by being from another world, Riser wondered whether he could become even stronger by devouring the 666.
Yes, Riser knew that Rizevim's purpose was to release the 666 to the world and use it to destroy the world. Yet, he let Rizevim do such a thing as he wished to get his hand on this beast, devouring it and making himself even stronger. Moreover, he could even use 666 to destroy those who fought him.
Still, Riser thought of something and suddenly asked, "By the way, do you know what Rizevim did on the Cocytus?"
"No, I don't know. He is so secretive, after all."
Hades didn't hide anything since he really didn't know anything. It might be his arrogance as he thought that it was impossible for Rizevim to escape from his palm, so he let Rizevim do whatever he wished to do. However, he felt regret as he let him do so since now he lost Rizevim's trace.
"It's okay, but I feel like he must be hiding something there."
"If that's the case, do you want to go to the Cocytus now?"
"Is that okay?"
"Why not?"
"..."
Riser realized how chill Hades was, and he wondered why they had even fought in the first place.
"Wait! Wait! Hades, you can't take Riser-sama away from us!"
"Yeah, we talked to him first!"
"It's unfair! It's unfair!"
"....."
Riser was speechless, and Hades was so angry at this group of evil gods, wishing to beat all of them up, but he knew that he was powerless against all of them, so he could only snort and look away.
"..."
At this moment, Riser wondered whether all the gods were a tsundere. Still, compared to the good gods, he felt like he could trust the evil gods more somehow. Why? It was because the evil gods didn't hide that they were evil. They were different from the good gods, who judged everything as good and evil. The evil gods were chill as they only did a bad thing and didn't shy away from acknowledging that they were bad. However, it didn't mean that they would do something so lawless or cause chaos. Instead, what they did was necessary to create a balance in this world.
"By the way, Riser-sama, can you tell me more about another world? I can help you search for the path to go to another world."
"Can you?"
"Yes, I am fairly good at teleportation magic, so I might be able to help crack the path that leads us to another world and parallel world."
Erebus, the Primordial God of Darkness in Greek mythology, took the initiative to help Riser.
Still, this was good news for him since Riser lacked someone who could help him research a path to go to another world, so Erebus's help was something that he was happy about.
By then, Riser told Erebus about what he knew about another world. Though he had to say, he wasn't sure how those creatures from another world could come to them. If there was a reason why they could contact and even open a path to their world, it was because of Issei's perverted power, which was the main power of the original protagonist.
"Perverted power..."
Hearing this answer, no one knew how to react after it was so ridiculous, yet when they heard the existence of the God of Breats, Chichigami, they knew that Riser didn't lie. Even though it was ridiculous, it was another world, so anything could happen.
"I will do my best."
This is what Erebus could say.
"Oh, right, Riser-sama, I have brought a gift for you~!"
Riser looked at Nyx, the Primordial Goddess of the Night and the younger sister of Erebus in Greek mythology. He had to say that this goddess was beautiful and had a cute face with long black hair and pointy ears. It was also due to this that he wondered what she would give him, but unexpectedly, she would give him—
"A girl?"
