Tenraku became famous in the underworld once again.
The scandal involving him and Roygun spread when those members of the Rating Game Investigation Committee leaked the information.
Now the entire Underworld knew about the affair between the Red Dragon Emperor Kamiya Tenraku and the family lord of the House of Belphegor, Roygun.
Countless male devils beat their chests in frustration and cursed the evil Red Dragon Emperor in their hearts.
Not only did he lay claim to the princess of the Gremory family, but he also laid his hands on the beautiful family lord of the House of Belphegor and their famous peerage servants. It was truly unjust!
Countless envious and resentful male devils wished they could tear Tenraku apart and take his place.
Although the scandal between Tenraku and Roygun had caused a stir and even made headlines in the Underworld news, the Rating Game Committee dropped its investigation of Roygun as a result, and the House of Belphegor announced Roygun's reinstatement as family lord.
Why did such a trivial scandal involving the Red Dragon Emperor and Roygun Belphegor lead to such a result? The curious onlookers couldn't understand it at all.
Moreover, the emergence of the Saints and Demons religion left countless people dumbfounded. A devil-human hybrid dared to aspire to become a god, and he actually gained millions of followers. This was unprecedented in history!
However, when it was revealed that almost all of the followers of the Saints and Demons religion were young women and even the famous Succubus Clan pledged their allegiance to and believed in the Red Dragon Emperor Kamiya Tenraku, the masses were once again in an uproar.
Countless male devils couldn't help but curse aloud.
What Saints and Demons' Religion? What Evil Demon Religion? This was clearly just a "Harem sect" that the Red Dragon Emperor had set up for himself!
They had long since seen through the villain's true nature!
Regardless of the Roygun scandal or the Saints and Demons religion issue, Tenraku had been pushed to the forefront of public opinion in the past few days. However, these two incidents were nothing compared to the final matter.
After discussions among several Demon Kings, the Underworld Government released footage of the D×D team battling Rizevim and Sovereign Beast 666 - Trihexa on the floating island of Agreas!
Originally, this footage was classified as top secret, known only to a few high-ranking government officials. After all, letting the public know about the existence of 666 (Trihexa) would inevitably cause widespread panic, something that should be avoided as much as possible.
However, the situation in the underworld was now extremely dire. The entire world was on the brink of ruin, yet the so-called big shots were still scheming and fighting for power and profit.
In addition, the revelation of the dark secrets of the rating game had caused the public to become very discontented with the government. There were even many troublemakers causing chaos everywhere. It could be said that the entire underworld was in chaos, and the situation was extremely serious.
Faced with this dire situation, the four Demon Kings and a group of government officials decided to release all the information about 666 (Trihexa) to let everyone know the crisis they now faced and see how they would continue to stir things up!
As expected, the news of 666 (Trihexa) caused a huge panic throughout the underworld. When people learned that the entire world was facing a huge crisis, everything else became irrelevant at that time.
The four Demon Kings, led by Sirzechs, stepped forward in time to calm the public's emotions and finally bring the situation under control.
Even those selfish big shots knew that now was not the time for scheming. They quietly withdrew their claws, and the people obeyed the government's orders. The entire Underworld began to operate at high speed, preparing for the final battle with 666 (Trihexa).
As a member of the Underworld, Tenraku naturally kept a close eye on the situation. Knowing that the four Demon Kings had finally gained control of the situation, Tenraku and Rias' group breathed a sigh of relief, but they were not idle these days.
Having taken on the responsibility of guarding the human world, Tenraku naturally had a lot of preparations to make.
The various aid promised by the great powers arrived one after another, and the churches of the Saints and Demons Religion were quickly established in major cities with tens of thousands of people around the world.
However, it was not enough to build the churches; each one had to be equipped with barriers. Since these barriers had to cover not only a single church, but entire cities, the workload was immense.
Tenraku, Rias's group, the Jeanne Squad, and Katerea and her mages all mobilized at the same time. To speed things up, Tenraku even sent many of the elite vampires of the Vampire Queen Akasha to help.
Great powers were also preparing for the final battle. All was proceeding in an orderly fashion...
Location: Tokyo
In a magnificent and huge church, about a dozen girls dressed in white robes, led by Susan, knelt on the floor and prayed to the huge God's Idol in front of them.
The idol they were praying to was, of course, Tenraku!
At a certain moment, a dazzling light emanated from the giant God's Idol, and then the figures of Tenraku and Tosca appeared.
"Holy Lord-sama," Susan and the dozen or so girls quickly bowed to Tenraku.
"Please stand," Tenraku said. "Thank you for all your hard work, Susan."
After the girls all stood up, Tenraku also gave a word of encouragement to Susan who was standing in front.
Although there were now millions of believers, only a few people, including Susan, could be assigned to each church due to their individual affairs and temporary unavailability.
"To serve the holy Lord-sama is my duty and the greatest honor," Susan said, looking up at Tenraku with endless devotion and piety.
Smiling, Tenraku gently stroked the girl's forehead, then looked at the other dozen or so girls behind Susan.
"Miwako, Hitomi, Yukiko, Laura... I have always listened to your prayers. You are all outstanding believers of mine. Please continue to believe in me even more in the future."
One by one, Tenraku called out the names of the girls. Through the connection of the Gods and Demons Scripture, he could listen to the prayers of his believers at any time, knowing each of their names, personalities, and preferences.
The feeling of omnipotence and omniscience made Tenraku realize that he was becoming more and more like a god.
No, he was a god now, the god that all the girls of the Saints and Demons Religion believed in!
"Holy Lord-sama, we... we..." Even though Tenraku had only called out their names and said a simple word of encouragement, each of the girls was so excited that they couldn't articulate their thoughts and even shed tears of happiness.
Holy Lord-sama was so caring for them!
This was the power of faith. Under the baptism of faith, each of them was ready to dedicate her body and soul to her Holy Lord-sama. And for them, Tenraku's simple words of encouragement were the greatest blessing and honor!
This feeling was very nice indeed...
"Tosca, Mihae, please set up the barrier."
"Susan, take me for a walk around the perimeter of the church."
"Yes, Holy Lord-sama."
