Magna followed Noah's orders and informed the academy that Professor Astaros had a sudden accident and therefore could not come for the rest of the semester so the school would have to find a new English teacher.
Coincidentally, the valkyrie that Odin brought with him, Rossweisse, had been left behind because Odin forgot about her and went back to Asgard alone, leaving her stranded in this city.
Rossweisse took Noah's place as a teacher and so it seemed that everything was back to normal.
The higher-ups of the various factions also heard the news of the assassination of the red dragon emperor at the hands of the so-called strongest human being, although Azazel did not believe it at all.
He had a sixth sense for these things and his sense told him that Noah would not die so easily.
Quickly, days passed until it was time for Rias' group to go to the underworld to participate in the Rating Games.
Due to Noah's previous actions, the whole plot related to Diodora Astaroth did not happen and the Rating Games proceeded without any apparent problems until the day came when Noah opened his eyes.
The first thing he did upon exiting the floating continent was to sense the location of a tracking spell he placed on Raiser Phoenix earlier.
His eyes swirled before his consciousness followed the link created by the spell to a room in a certain castle in hell.
He saw the pitiful state Raiser Phoenix was in.
Due to the beating he gave him and the fact that he stole his fiancée, his ego was shattered and he apparently could not recover from the trauma.
Wasting no time, Noah used the interdimensional door and appeared directly in Raiser's room before dragging him to the floating continent before disappearing.
A few seconds later, the guards appeared and started searching like crazy.
Noah simply destroyed Raiser's consciousness and implanted him with a will seed before putting him in a tank filled with green liquid and embedding a few crystals of demonic energy that he condensed from Katerea Leviathan's body.
Leaving Raiser, he returned to the real world before re-entering Hell incognito and infiltrating the Rating Games event site.
Today, some of the participants were reported missing.
In their respective residences, only their belongings could be found.
As for the participants and their supporters, not a single trace of them remained.
On the floating continent, Noah looked at the pile of unconscious demons inside an intricate formation that constantly absorbed their demonic power and condensed it into demonic energy crystals.
The crystals would then be sent down a tube to a few capsules with sleeping demons inside.
They were all from the elite of the younger generation of demons and all were pure-blooded demons.
Underneath each capsule, there was a label with the demons' data.

...
These were all high class demons with a unique lineage ability provided by their demonic lineages.
Noah turned them all into his clones with the will seeds and was currently feeding them demonic energy crystals to evolve them into supreme class demons, the next rank for demons.
Turning his attention away from those six, he looked at two other tanks.
In the first, a mutated fiend he brought from the witcher world was floating while in the second, there was a black colored egg.
This egg was the egg of Rarog, whose consciousness Noah destroyed before turning him into a soul clone as well.
These two were also receiving some of the energy from the demonic energy crystals and were undergoing some changes.
As he pondered, he suddenly heard a notification from Nexus.
On a scanning table were some crimson red chess pieces.
These were the Evil Pieces used by the demons to replenish their population.
After the war of the three factions and the death of more than half of the demonic clans, Ajuka Beelzebub created these Evil Pieces, based on the chess pieces, and imbued them with a magic spell that allowed a demon to resurrect those who had just died, turning them into new demons that would be bound to their new master.
In this way, the demons managed to replenish their numbers, although the number of pure-blooded demons has been decreasing more and more, the reincarnated demons fulfilled the function of soldiers and fighters.
Ajuka created nine pieces that represented the king's piece.
These pieces did not have the function of reincarnating an individual but their function was to increase the power of the demon that controlled it, being able to increase the power of a high class demon to that of a supreme class demon for a time.
Because of the danger these pieces could cause, the faction of the older demons pressured Ajuka to give them these pieces to guard so that no one could threaten their status.
In the end, they managed to get their hands on six of the nine king's pieces and used them to manipulate the results of the Rating Games by giving these pieces to the competitors they wanted them to win.
Two of these demons, Beseze Abaddon and Roygun Belphegor, were given one each.
And since Noah captured these guys, these two pieces ended up in their hands.
Nexus finished analyzing both the normal Evil Pieces and the two king pieces and gave the results to Noah, who started working on a new project with this data.
On the other hand, the disappearance of the heirs of the great clans caused a scandal and the Rating Games were momentarily suspended while the case was investigated and the competition was not continued until two weeks later.
...
In the human world.
In a certain church, golden lights flashed throughout the church and a shrill alarm sounded throughout the building.
A woman holding a sword in her arms entered a doorway and disappeared.
"The sacred sword Excalibur has been stolen! The sacred energy crystals have also been stolen! We have to inform the bishop quickly!"
It was not only in this church, on that same night, except for the Vatican, which was well protected, the other churches all over the world saw their stockpiles of sacred crystals looted.
Lena was transported to a villa in the middle of a tropical island somewhere unknown and smiled as she looked at her space storage full of sacred crystals.
Putting away the sword as well, Lena ran to Asia and began to tease her as usual.
In the underworld.
Even though Diodora was killed by Noah and the events did not occur as in the original story, the demons of the ancient clans still attacked.
Fortunately, Magna had told Rias beforehand to warn his brother Sirzechs about this matter.
A demon appeared before the group of Rias and his opponent.
"Hm... The little sister of the despicable and false demon king.
I am the true descendant of the great demon Beelzebub, Shalba Beelzebub."
Afera from the building where Rias's group were standing.
"I am the descendant of Asmodeus, Creuserey Asmodeus."
A man stood in front of Azazel as a battle raged between the demon soldiers of both sides.
"So one of the masterminds has finally shown himself.
I guess you guys are the ones in charge of kidnapping that group of kids huh..."
Azazel rubbed his chin as he assessed the guy in front of him.
"Children?"
Creuserey frowned in mild confusion before shaking his head.
"As a member of the true Satan faction, I will avenge Katerea Leviathan.
Using the power I received from Ophis, we will destroy this world and create a new world for the demons."
A magic circle with an infinity symbol in its center lit up on Creuserey's outstretched palm.
A similar one lit up on Shalba Beelzebub's palm as he confronted Rias beneath him.
"Little sister of Sirzechs, you will have to die today!"
"Hmp!"
Rias snorted and his servants surrounded them in a formation.
"Well Fafnir! I'd like some of your help."
Azazel spun the sacred Gear in his hand but before he transformed, a crimson magic circle appeared beside him before Sirzechs appeared.
"Sirzechs! You, damned false existence!"
"Creuserey. For demons to continue their existence, war is unnecessary in the underworld."
Creuserey just snorted.
"A cursed one who not only has dealings with the fallen angels, but also with the angels themselves, you have no right to speak as a demon!"
"I don't want to hear such words from an unhappy misfit who joined the Khaos Brigade."
Azazel waved the dagger in his hand as he sneered.
Sirzechs closed his eyes for a moment and when he opened them again, all emotion faded from them.
"Creuserey, as the great demon king, I will eliminate anyone who is against the current underworld."
Sirzechs materialized a ball of crimson energy that rapidly expanded, covering Creuserey inside.
"Impossible! How is it possible? How can the real lose to the false?"
Crimson bolts of lightning struck Creuserey's body, disintegrating him without leaving even a trace of his existence.
Sirzechs crimson eyes returned to their normal blue color as he turned around.
"I also removed the Ophis snake inside it."
Shalba Beelzebub launched an attack that directly killed most of the servants accompanying the one who was supposed to be Rias' opponent in this battle.
He then blocked the attacks of Rias' group before sending them all flying in a single attack.
Unfortunately, Gasper, being the weakest of the group, was severely injured and fainted directly.
His condition was critical and he could die if he did not receive proper care.
The others were also injured to a greater or lesser extent.
The least injured were Rias herself and Akeno, who were the two strongest of the group.
Rias was enraged to see the state of his companions and his demonic energy exploded.
Akeno also released his aura and a demonic wing and a fallen angel wing appeared on his back while blue lightning and golden light enveloped his body.
The two flashes of light, one crimson red and the other gold and blue crashed into Shalba Beelzebub.
...
Suddenly, the violet gem on the pommel of the dagger in Azazel's hands released an intense glow.
Azazel and Sirzechs looked up and saw a small Loli dressed in a gothic dress hovering in mid-air.
"I didn't think you would come to this place, Ophis."
"Azazel. It's been a while."
"If we defeat you here, will the war end?"
"Impossible, you can't defeat me."
"Heh! Even though you have immense power, you show no interest in this world.
So why are you now leading a group of terrorists?"
"A world of silence, the dimensional rift, that's my home. I wish I could go back, and reclaim that silence. That's all."
"The dimensional rift? If I remember correctly...I see. Vali, I know what your goal is."
