Strongly recommend to stack up chapters and binge read them after 3 weeks tops as this rating game is like the Olympus arc with a lot of yapping from the MC and Named side characters watching it live because I just can't help it.

Inside a Certain Office
Sirzechs Lucifer, one of the four Satans of the Underworld, was diligently writing and reading papers at a wooden desk that was intricately carved and polished to a high sheen. The desk was cluttered with open books, stacks of papers, and several desk lamps. He sat in a high-backed leather chair that looked both comfortable and authoritative.
Behind him, towering bookshelves lined the walls, filled with an impressive collection of leather-bound books. The shelves reached up to the ceiling, and a rolling ladder was likely used to access the higher shelves. The books were meticulously organized, and some decorative items, gifted to him or bought personally, and framed pictures of his son, Milicas, with his mother, Grayfia, could be seen together, smiling.
Large French windows allowed natural light to stream into the room, illuminating the wooden surfaces and creating a cozy atmosphere. The windows were adorned with heavy, dark drapes that could be drawn to adjust the light and create a more intimate setting.
The room also featured elegant lighting fixtures, including a grand chandelier hanging from the ceiling and ornate wall sconces. These provided a soft, ambient glow that complemented the natural light from the windows.
As he worked on matters related to the devil kind, Sirzechs began musing about all the things he had done in the past, whether right or wrong, all for the good of the devil kind. He recalled starting a civil war with his best friends to replace the old, idiotic devils who still thought they were at the top of the food chain, believing they could still run rampant in the human world or any other realm. These old devils played with human souls and those of mythological creatures, kidnapping children to satiate their lusts without considering the consequences. The most recent atrocity they committed was starting the First Great War in the human world, which also resulted in World War II. Fortunately, they were able to stop the old devils from influencing that war further, as the Church and Heavens did not actively pursue them for causing World War II.
As for the bad things he did, Sirzechs could name a few. The most significant one was not actually bad but rather beneficial for humans and other supernatural beings too: the creation of Evil Pieces. Ajuka was the one who invented it, and with Sirzechs' approval, Ajuka created a bunch of them while it was the pure-blood devils who faced the major backlash. Devils forcefully turned anyone they wanted into devils, making them slaves—a term given by other supernatural factions to newly turned devils, which he perfectly understood. However, they needed fresh new devils quickly because the Civil War had greatly reduced their population. So, while this might be considered bad to other supernatural denizens, it was for the greater good of his devil kind.
"Was it right to create the Evil pieces?" Sirzechs pondered "Absolutely, the creation of it is needed but devils are abusing it" He sigh but then smile when he remember that he had a reliable allies like Serafall appeasing the other supernatural world of the devil done to their compatriots.
The recent bad thing he did was forcing the Phenex family to approve this Rating Game—a huge thing for his family. That monster, or Oreki as he was named, really wanted his sister Rias.
"Sorry, Rias, I used you so I can gain a favor from your future husband," Sirzechs said. He was about to continue his work when a knock at the door resounded.
"Sorry to disturb you Sirzechs-sama but I just way to say that Grayfia-sama, and Rias-sama have arrived," someone outside the room informed him in a respectful tone.
"Tell them I'll be there," Sirzechs replied. He looked at the papers he had been writing and sighed. "All these things just to balance the power within the devil kind and prevent another civil war," he thought to himself. With another sigh, he got up from his chair and walked towards the double doors. Just as he was about to grasp the doorknob, he stopped, staring at his handless arm. There was no blood or wound; it was just gone. He looked at it for a while before concentrating and restoring his hand with his mana. After restoring it, he opened and closed his hand, satisfied with the result. He opened the door and walked towards the location of Grayfia and Rias.
When Sirzechs neared the venue, he could already hear the voices of their guests, especially the voice of a young man he was quite familiar with despite having only met him once—Oreki, the one he wanted to curry favor with. He stopped just in front of the door instead of entering the room and quietly eavesdropped on the conversation happening inside.
"So, Grayfia, do you have any other clothing besides that?" Oreki asked, making Sirzechs cover his mouth to prevent himself from laughing.
"Oreki, stop bothering Grayfia," Rias reprimanded, but from what Sirzechs could hear, she didn't sound genuinely angry with Oreki. She might even be a bit curious, as she had never asked Grayfia about her wardrobe in all those years.
"I'm just curious, and I know you're curious too, based on that smile of yours," Oreki retorted, correctly pointing out Rias' curiosity about Grayfia's wardrobe.
"I..." Grayfia was about to reply, but Oreki interrupted her by saying, "You know what? I already know the answer. Well, at least Sirzechs has a good fetish."
"My clothing has nothing to do with Sirzechs-sama's fetish," Grayfia explained.
Sirzechs nodded sagely after hearing Grayfia defend him. In fact, Grayfia was the one who insisted on wearing maid clothes, even though he had already told her to wear normal clothes befitting her status as the Strongest Queen. Grayfia had given him a reasonable explanation: being a maid would psychologically attack their enemies by making them feel inferior. However, Sirzechs knew that was all nonsense, and Oreki had already figured it out.
"I see! So it's your fetish. But why do you wear that all the time? You could just wear it when you two have alone time together," Oreki suggested while holding his chin.
Rias sighed before saying, "Grayfia, you should answer him. I know this guy isn't going to stop asking until you do." Rias knew Oreki well enough to understand he wouldn't stop messing with Grayfia if she didn't answer.
"I... just... want to be ordered around," Grayfia said in a shameful tone, blushing.
"YOU WHAT?" Rias and her peerage shouted in shock. They couldn't believe the dignified Grayfia had a weird fetish like that, though it might not be as strange compared to other devils with sick fetishes.
"Pervert," Koneko said as she continued nibbling on the chicken Oreki had given her.
"Yes, she's a pervert," Oreki laughed loudly.
"Grayfia, you..." Rias was shocked by what she heard but had kind of accepted it already. However, hearing it still gave her a scare, especially when she thought about Grayfia, the Strongest Queen, being ordered around by a nobody.
"Please tell me you only let my brother do that to you," Rias asked in a hopeful tone, as she couldn't stop imagining Grayfia doing shameful things for a nobody.
"Of course! Only the strongest can make me submit," Grayfia answered confidently, straightening her body, causing her breasts to jiggle.
"Oh ho! Then..." Oreki walked slowly to Grayfia before ordering her, "Suck my dick then." He looked at her coldly, like one of those cold CEOs in women's fantasies.
"Oreki, what the hell! That's my brother's wife!" Rias shouted, blushing, while looking at Oreki and then at Grayfia, who was also blushing.
"She said it herself, only the strongest can order her around," Oreki shrugged, his mind wandering to all the lewd thoughts he could do to Grayfia and cuckolding Sirzechs. He shook his head to erase the thoughts.
"Ara... if you want someone to suck you off, I can do that for you," Akeno said while holding her cheek and licking her lips in a sexy manner, blushing.
"Senpai... you are a good pervert," Koneko said to Oreki. She wanted to call him just a pervert, but the tasty fried chicken he gave her changed her mind.
"If you want me to do it, please, let's do it later," Grayfia answered, bowing to Oreki, rubbing her thighs together to alleviate her horniness.
"Grayfia!! How could you say that?" Rias shouted, staring intently at Grayfia. However, Grayfia avoided her gaze, not as shamefully as expected.
Oreki laughed before explaining, wiping tears from his eyes, "Is this how the Lucifage are so loyal to the Lucifer? But I think they programmed them wrong. Instead of only following the orders of a Lucifer, they are made to follow the orders of someone stronger than them. The fake Lucifer, being too prideful, thought their family or he was the strongest in existence."
"Huh?" Rias and her peerage stared at Oreki with confused faces, including Grayfia. Even Sirzechs, who was listening outside, was shocked to hear that but then smiled lightly, nodding.
Grayfia was the one who asked the golden question, "Is that true?"
"It's just a theory... a bloodline theory!" Oreki said in a weird voice. Silence descended in the room for a while before Rias broke it.
"I feel like you are telling the truth, and it's not just a theory," Rias said in a confused tone. She didn't know whether to believe this theory or not. Grayfia, too, looked at Oreki with a hopeful, blushing expression.
Outside the room, Sirzechs was deep in thought before smiling. "Everything is going to be fine then. I can leave everything to Rias and her future husband," he said with a smile on his face before looking up as if he trying to see through the sky or heaven "And maybe I should tell them too.? Nah I already pamper them enough"
Oreki then ignored Grayfia to avoid being tempted by her. "So, if that's your fetish, then what is Sirzechs' fetish?" he asked Grayfia.
"I don't even want to retort right now," Rias sighed tiredly.
"You don't have to because I already know the answer," Oreki smirked, looking at Rias. She got goosebumps seeing that smirk.
"Don't..." Rias started to say, but Oreki asked Grayfia first, "Do you wear a red wig and a Kuoh Academy uniform?"
With a bang, the door opened, and everyone turned to see Sirzechs.
"Nice timing, Sirzechs," Oreki smirked, teasing him. However, Sirzechs ignored him and casually walked toward them.
"Sirzechs-sama," Rias' peerage bowed to Sirzechs.
"Brother, we have been waiting for you. Now that you're here, we can start the rating game," Rias said, excited to use her newfound abilities to defeat Riser. Her peerage shared her excitement.
"Where is Riser?" Sirzechs asked, looking around the room.
"Riser-sama is already waiting in the arena I prepared," Grayfia answered, waving her hand. A screen appeared like a TV, showing Riser and his peerage standing somewhere.
"I see," Sirzechs said after seeing the screen. He turned to Rias and her peerage, saying, "Then, good luck in the rating game."
"Thank you, Brother, for this opportunity," Rias said with a smile of gratitude. Sirzechs nodded before turning to Grayfia. "Take them to the arena," he ordered, and Grayfia complied immediately.
"See you later, Rias," Oreki waved at the group until they vanished.
"Let's sit, Oreki, and watch the show," Sirzechs said, pointing to the seat next to him.
Oreki was about to sit down when he suddenly shouted, "Wait!"
Sirzechs stared at Oreki with a frown and was about to ask what was wrong when Oreki disappeared.
Grayfia was about to ask something when Oreki reappeared, holding popcorn in both hands.
Seeing this, Sirzechs could only sigh before asking, "Is that all?"
Oreki nodded and asked, "You want some?" He smiled. Sirzechs shook his head in response.
"More for me, then," Oreki shrugged before ordering Grayfia, "Let's start the rating game then."
