===

On the surface, Chiba Akira is recognized as the heir to the Leviathan bloodline by the

current Demon King.

However, the resources Chiba has access to are quite limited, far inferior to those of a

true Leviathan heir.

Nonetheless, given that this identity was originally a gift from others, Chiba has no

complaints.

The real turning point came two years ago.

Two years ago, Agumon actively asked Chiba for something.

Phoenix's Tear—the compensation for Serafall's broken engagement.

After receiving this drop of Phoenix's Tear for a year, Agumon seemed to sense

something and requested it from Chiba.

Chiba generously handed over the Phoenix's Tear.

After absorbing that drop of Phoenix's Tear, Agumon's strength broke through from a

low-level demon to a mid-level demon.

Later, after Agumon explained, Chiba learned that because it had been in his

possession for two years, the Phoenix's Tear was no longer just a simple tear.

The "Phoenix's Tear" evolved and gained effects that compensated for inherent flaws,

reshaped foundations, and allowed life to evolve!

Agumon referred to it as "Phoenix Blood"!

After that, Chiba clearly understood his ability of "purification and evolution."

Thus, based on this ability, Chiba began to enhance and purify various resources

around him and gradually established cooperation with various factions.

Unfortunately, before awakening his bloodline, Chiba's purification and evolution

abilities were too weak.

It took an entire year for the Phoenix's Tear to evolve; it took ten days to half a month

for a low-level artifact to evolve—far too slow.

Just yesterday.

After his own strength increased, Chiba discovered that his purification ability had

also evolved!

What originally required a year to purify the "Phoenix's Tear" now had an astonishing

enhancement speed; Chiba estimated he could complete the purification in just one

day!

A hundred times the purification speed was still an understatement!

.....

As he walked along, Chiba arrived at Asia's residence.

Due to his foresight regarding the plot, Chiba was able to alter some storylines within

his capabilities.

For example, the Red Dragon Emperor's cage hand.

Chiba had extracted the artifact from Issei Hyoudou long ago.

Unfortunately, due to compatibility issues with the artifact, even though he obtained

the Red Dragon Emperor's cage hand, he couldn't use it.

Another example is Kirishima Shuna.

Chiba met Kirishima Shuna before Rias did; however, he lacked the power and

influence to protect her. Thus, he could only leave Shuna in the care of the Gremory

family for protection.

And then there's Asia.

Before Asia arrived in Kuoh Town, Chiba had already established contact with the

fallen angels there. So before Asia interacted with Lina, he intercepted her arrival.

After intercepting her and realizing he didn't have a demon piece yet, Chiba

temporarily placed Asia in a house in Kuoh Town.

As he approached the house, the golden contract emblem on his hand flickered, and

Agumon jumped out from within it.

[Chiba, be careful. There are people in the house besides Asia.]

"People? Is it dangerous?"

Chiba raised an eyebrow.

[Very dangerous.]

Agumon nodded seriously.

"How is that possible?"

Chiba frowned.

He originally thought it was Diodora who discovered Asia had been intercepted and

came looking for her.

But Agumon said it was very dangerous?

Diodora was merely a high-level demon; he would definitely not be a match for

Agumon.

So then who was in there?

The next moment, a system notification sound echoed in Chiba's mind.

[Ding!~]

[Congratulations! You have triggered a villain sign-in!]

[Sign-in Level: Gold]

[Sign-in Type: Location Sign-in.]

[Sign-in Location: The panties of Infinite Dragon God Ophis.]

"Who?!"

"Ophis?!"

"The Infinite Dragon God... Ophis?!"

Chiba confirmed that he wasn't mistaken.

Ophis—the Infinite Dragon God—nicknamed the Infinite Cute Dragon.

The reason for this nickname is that her appearance resembles a black-haired loli

who doesn't speak much.

However, when it comes to strength, she is currently ranked number one in the world!

"Based on this sign-in characteristic, the person in the house—the one who made

Agumon feel threatened... is Ophis?!"

Realizing this made Chiba's breath quicken significantly.

Because he had an idea that every transmigrator would have—convincing Ophis to

become his subordinate!

Taking out his phone, Chiba dialed Asia's number.

"Beep~~~ Beep~~~"

"Moshi Moshi, Akira-san?"

"Asia, is there anyone with you right now?"

"Yes... there is." Asia hesitated before answering truthfully.

"What's her name?"

"Ah? Akira-san, do you already know I brought someone back with me?"

"Um, sorry. I didn't mean to bring an outsider into Akira-san's house."

"It's fine. Asia; I don't mind. Just tell me her name."

Chiba breathed calmly as he awaited Asia's response.

"Her... her name is Ophis. I met her when I went out to buy groceries yesterday. I saw

she didn't have an adult with her, so I brought her back."

"I'm really sorry for bringing someone home without your permission!"

"It's okay; you did well," Chiba smiled slightly.

"Eh? Did well?"

Asia didn't understand why Chiba said that.

Could it be that Akira-san is someone who enjoys helping others?

That shouldn't be right?

When rescuing her earlier, Chiba mentioned that he saved her because he was

attracted by her appearance and artifact and wanted her to become his subordinate.

Such a straightforward person like Akira-san—a demon—shouldn't have habits of

helping others but rather habits of equivalent exchange.

.....

"Agumon, let's go."

"Don't worry; the person inside isn't an enemy."

Confirming the identity of the visitor, Chiba walked straight toward the house where

Asia was placed.

....

Knock knock knock~

"Coming! Coming!~"

Amidst some flustered sounds, soon a pure-looking blonde beauty opened the door.

Asia was beautiful and pure-looking; she gave off an impulse to want to defile her.

Unfortunately for him, all of Chiba's attention was focused on the black-haired loli

behind her.

Ophis!

"The presence of Ddraig..."

Ophis parted her red lips slightly; her lifeless eyes finally showed some change.

"Ophis! I believe I qualify as your contractor. What do you say? Would you like to

form a contract with me?"

Chiba got straight to the point and began his persuasion!
