After listening to Rias and Sona's report, Tenraku had a rough idea of the current situation outside.
First, Agrea's floating island had been destroyed. During Tenraku's battle with 666 (Trihexa), the entire floating island had been torn apart. In the final explosion by Aži Dahāka, the entire floating island was completely destroyed, leaving nothing behind, not even a trace.
Moreover, Aži Dahāka's self-destruction affected not only his body but also his soul. He must have known that Tenraku could use the souls of their evil dragons to create Sacred Gears.
So in order to prevent Tenraku from using his power, he decided to blow himself up. Although it was a small regret, Tenraku couldn't do anything against such a ruthless opponent.
Second, after the battle ended, Azazel immediately took the information about 666 (Trihexa) back to the underworld and shared it with other major factions.
No doubt, the resurrection of 666 (Trihexa) shocked the entire world, especially after seeing the footage of Tenraku's battle with 666 (Trihexa), even the leaders were feeling unusually grave.
Forced to resurrect and still in a weakened state, 666 (Trihexa) was already so powerful. They dared not imagine how terrifying it would be when 666 (Trihexa) fully recovered!
According to Rias and Sona, some great leaders even complained about why Tenraku did not try harder to take out 666 (Trihexa) while he was still weak, even sacrificing others for the safety of the world, or not letting Apophis escape with 666 (Trihexa) in the end.
When discussing these matters, both Rias and Sona had a somewhat unpleasant expression on their faces, and Tenraku couldn't help but smile repeatedly. Those guys were just talking big!
Of course, such leaders with such ideas were few and far between, and they were also condemned by other leaders such as Azazel and Michael.
Joking aside, if it weren't for Tenraku's desperate efforts to severely damage 666 (Trihexa) and buy everyone time, the whole world would have gone up in flames by now!
In short, the resurrection of 666 (Trihexa) caused a series of chaos and panic. Now, the major factions were actively preparing for war, and the atmosphere in the whole world was extremely tense.
However, compared to other factions, the situation in the underworld was extremely dire. Because Emperor Diehauser Belial had exposed the darkness behind the rating games, it had caused great public discontent with the government. Not to mention the war preparations, many political mechanisms were now severely affected.
In addition, those old-time big shots were using every means at their disposal to shift the blame, destroying all evidence related to them, spreading rumors everywhere, and even some unscrupulous nobles were pinning all the responsibility directly on Demon King Ajuka in order to divert the people's anger and attention.
"As those people said, all the [King] pieces were made by Ajuka Sama and came from his hands. Moreover, Ajuka Sama, as the Demon King and the initiator of the Rating Games, knew about the cheating, but not only did he not stop it, he also hid the fact from the public. So Ajuka Sama should take full responsibility," Rias and Sona said, their expressions filled with immense anger.
Those so-called big shots were indeed shameless to the extreme. They were just telling the public how Ajuka should be responsible for everything, without mentioning how they themselves had balanced or even threatened Ajuka in the past!
Although there were intelligent people among the masses, most of them were often misled and manipulated because they did not have complete information.
Like this time, those big shots had cunningly revealed only partial truths to the public. It was true that the [King] pieces were indeed made by Demon King Ajuka and had fallen from his hands. It was also true that he knew about the cheating in the evaluation games.
And Ajuka's attitude towards it was indeed passive. Naturally, this had caused a great deal of discontent among the people and even damaged Ajuka's reputation as the Demon King.
"Those old bastards! The whole world is facing a huge crisis and they are still playing these political games," Tenraku shook his head, even he had to admire those guys. Before, people often talked about how humans were this or that, but when it came to wickedness and corruption, the devils were no less!
However, regardless of these things, it was not something that Tenraku needed to worry about, nor did it concern him. All he cared about was his own well-being and that of his family.
"What news is there from Roygun's side?" Tenraku asked.
"The situation on Lady Roygun's side is somewhat grim. She was also one of the players who used the [King] pieces. Those big shots who once gave her the pieces seem to have already decided to abandon her, leaving her to face the public's accusations and take responsibility for all of them," Rias and Sona replied.
After listening to Rias and Sona's report, Tenraku had a good understanding of the current situation outside.
"Moreover, I have just received the news that the previous generation of Family Lords of the House of Belphegor have already stripped Lady Roygun of her position as Family Lord and elected a new acting Family Lord, while Lady Roygun is currently under house arrest for investigation," Rias hesitated to say.
At the sound, Tenraku narrowed his eyes, with a dangerous gleam flashing in them.
"Tenraku, don't act impulsively. Although Lady Roygun is currently under soft arrest, she's not in any danger," Rias said, seeing Tenraku's reaction and fearing that he might do something rash.
"Don't worry, Rias. I won't do anything reckless," Tenraku replied, softening his aura and smiling.
Even though Tenraku said that, Rias and the others knew him very well, and they could guess what he was thinking. With a small sigh, Rias decided to say nothing more. Not only Lady Roygun, if any of them were in such a situation, Tenraku would never stand by and watch. That was just the way Tenraku was.
"Is there something else, Rias?" Tenraku asked.
"Nothing of importance. During your slumber, the members of your Kendo club came to visit you and a few days ago, Hyoudou Issei and his parents came to express their gratitude," Rias reported. "Also, Lord Azazel and the others wanted me to tell you that when you wake up, they hope you can visit the underworld as soon as possible, and the leaders of the other major factions want to meet you as well."
Nodding, Tenraku said, "I understand. Tell Azazel and the others that I will go there three days later."
"Three days later?" Rias was confused. With the current tense situation, wouldn't three days be a bit too late?
"Rias, I know what you're worried about," Tenraku reassured her. "But 666 (Trihexa) was severely injured by me. It will take at least ten days to half a month for it to recover to her peak condition, maybe even longer. So, three days should be manageable."
"In addition, a great battle that will decide the fate of the world is imminent. Before I meet with the leaders of the major factions, I must make some preparations," Tenraku explained to Rias, who nodded in understanding. "I will deliver your message to Lord Azazel and the others," she said.
With nothing else pressing, Tenraku spent the rest of the day accompanying the girls. Even in the evening, when it was time to rest, he brought all of Rias' girls to his room and hosted a wild "Oppai Feast".
Back when they fought on the floating island, that bastard Rizevim had used Hyoudou Issei's abilities to create a spell that drained all the oppai energy from women around the world.
When Tenraku saw Rias' girls with their stolen oppai, he almost went berserk. Fortunately, after the spell was lifted, half of the girls' oppai was restored, and during Tenraku's sleep, the other half was also restored.
He would never let these treasures leave his side again, so Tenraku's plan was to enjoy them to his heart's content...
