"What are you all looking at me for?"
Feeling uneasy under everyone's gaze, Tenraku couldn't understand why they were all looking at him like that.
He had only given Ophis a lollipop, was that really so strange?
"Ara Ara, Tenraku, could it be that you have some peculiar hobbies that you've been hiding from us?"
"Shirone, the Red Dragon Emperor seems to have a liking for that type. You should be careful too, always stay with Onee-San (Elder Sister), and don't give him a chance."
"Tenraku-san…"
Akeno had an evil smile on her face, and Toujou Kuroka added fuel to the fire. Even Asia looked at Tenraku with a worried expression on her face.
They must think I'm a Lolicon, right? They must be thinking that!
"Don't jump to conclusions about me, I don't have any strange hobbies!" Tenraku knocked on Akeno's forehead as he spoke, not pleased with the situation.
Even if he did have such a hobby as a lolicon, he absolutely couldn't admit it!
"Tenraku-kun, that Ophis is very dangerous. You acted a bit recklessly just now." Sirzechs' interrupted everyone as he spoke up.
"I was just thinking of winning over Ophis, Sirzechs-sama." Knowing that Sirzechs was helping him change the topic, Tenraku rubbed his nose and replied.
"Winning her over?" After hearing Tenraku's words, Sirzechs, Rias, and the other people present showed puzzled expressions on their faces.
"Ophis is pure and innocent, and she is ignorant of the ways of the world. Although she was used by the Khaos Brigade as their leader, in reality, she was only responsible for granting power and being exploited."
"On this point, Kuroka, who was once a member of the Khaos Brigade, should be well aware, right?"
"It's about right, meow."
Tenraku explained, and Kuroka nodded beside him.
However, what Kuroka didn't say was that even within the Khaos Brigade, Ophis was also seen as a dangerous existence!
Having invincible power but being too naive, although she seemed quiet most of the time, no one knew what she would do the next moment. So, for the sake of their safety, even daring individuals like Kuroka didn't dare to approach Ophis easily.
"It's obviously unwise to be enemies with such an invincible being, so I thought about winning over Ophis. Just like how the Khaos Brigade can utilize her power, we can do the same."
"Utilize Ophis' power?!" Not to mention Rias and the other girls, even Sirzechs showed a shocked expression upon hearing Tenraku's words.
"Cough… I was just making an analogy, there's no need to go to that extent."
"As long as we don't make her our enemy, it's enough."
"It may be difficult for others, but precisely because Ophis is pure and innocent, she provides us with possibilities."
Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Tenraku coughed lightly and quickly tried to remedy the situation.
"HāHāHā… Only you would come up with such an idea. Although it doesn't seem very reliable, I'll support you as the Governor General!" With a hearty laugh, Azazel patted Tenraku on the shoulder as he spoke.
Also chuckling lightly a few times, Tenraku thought to himself that he wasn't just thinking about it, he really intended to do it!
Leaving Ophis with the Khaos Brigade would be a waste. It would be better to bring her over to his side.
Having invincible power yet being pure and innocent, Ophis seemed quite dangerous to others, but in Tenraku's eyes, she was simply amazing.
She is just like a blank canvas that could be freely painted on, if Ophis came to his side, whether through brainwashing or training, he would be the one in control of that infinite power!
"It wouldn't be bad to have a Dragon God of Infinity as a pet…" His mouth curled up slightly as Tenraku had evil thoughts.
Although this idea seemed a bit crazy, that guy Issei Hyoudou in the original story could do it, so he could do it too!
Of course, to achieve his goal, he would need to do some things, but Tenraku wasn't in a hurry. He had plenty of time…
As the battle concluded, the remnants of the old Great Satans dispatched by Sirzechs and Azazel were completely eradicated. Tenraku, Rias, and their group of girls returned to the Human World.
The attack by the Khaos Brigade had a significant impact on the Underworld, but that had nothing to do with Tenraku.
…
Although Tenraku managed to take down Diodora, not only was he not punished, but he also received commendations for eliminating the traitors in the Underworld. The Astaroth family even sent a special envoy to express their gratitude and apologies to Tenraku.
It felt a bit awkward to have the opponent's family expressing gratitude and apologies, but it also felt good. If Diodora had known about it in the afterlife, he would surely be furious.
Well, speaking of which, Diodora didn't even have a coffin, so he died in a pitiful state…
In a large room in the Saints and Demons Hall…
"Master… Master…"
"Ah!!!"
Indulging in his fallen state, Katerea screamed loudly, and then her eyes rolled back as she collapsed, trembling all over.
Taking a deep breath, Tenraku sat up, supporting his waist. Besides Katerea, there were many unconscious female magicians lying around him, all of them in a state of undress.
It was a filthy scene, and without even asking, anyone would know what this guy had been up to!
Being a master wasn't easy. In order to reward his tools, Tenraku had gone all out. It was fortunate for him that he was the one in charge; otherwise, anyone else would have been drained long ago.
Snapping his fingers, an invisible domain enveloped the surroundings with Tenraku at the center. It was the Forbidden Move of the Evil Eye – Time Domain.
After going wild with his tools for several days and nights, if things had gone normally, even if Rias and the others were tolerant, they would have rushed in to capture him. However, within the Time Domain, Tenraku could adjust the flow of time, perfectly solving this problem.
Although Tenraku had been fooling around here for several days and nights, outside, only a few minutes had passed!
"To think that I would use the power of Sacred Gears for something like this. I'm becoming more and more corrupted…"
Letting out a sigh, Tenraku wore a melancholic expression. His path as a conqueror destined him to fall into this state.
If he was going to fall, then he might as well embrace it. Tenraku dressed and walked out of his little paradise.
He had already rewarded his tools, so now it was time to visit those Saintesses.
The Saints and Demons Hall had numerous rooms, and before long, Tenraku arrived at the place where the Saintesses were being kept.
Due to the use of forbidden magic, the Saintesses suffered tremendous physical and mental trauma, leaving them with severe aftereffects. They were still unconscious, and their brows were furrowed and it looked as if they were in great pain.
Activating the "Smile of the Holy Mother – Twilight Healing," Tenraku waved his hand, releasing several shining orbs of light to heal the injuries of the Saintesses. Although the pain on their faces eased slightly, the Saintesses still did not wake up.
"I can only heal their physical injuries, but not their mental trauma…"
Tenraku muttered to himself with a slight frown on his face and then it seemed like he had made a decision deep in his heart.
"If that's the case, then let's give it a try…"
