Roy had indeed given her a Jormungandr in the world of Bladedance of Elementalers.

Kurome summoned the World Serpent with her Teigu.

There were now two Jormungandrs on the battlefield.

Loki was stunned.

That was his child. How could there be another one?

"You dare get distracted while fighting me?" Esdeath's eyes narrowed as she noticed Loki's distraction.

"Secret Art: Nine Ice Dragons!"

Loki was encased in ice.

However, another Loki appeared.

As expected of the Trickster God, he had used a clone to escape the attack.

The battle between Esdeath and Loki continued.

"Roy, aren't you going to help?" Sona asked. She wasn't participating in the fight. Such a battle was beyond her level.

It wasn't as simple as depicted in the anime.

"It's fine. Rias and the others can handle it. Come and rest," Roy said, enjoying the fruits Asia had peeled for him. "And Rossweisse, you too."

Rossweisse, seeing his relaxed demeanor, was a bit surprised.

But seeing that Rias and the others had the upper hand, she didn't say anything and joined them.

<><><><>

The battle raged for a while.

Saeko was the first to defeat her opponent.

She wielded the [Dragon Slayer - Ascalon], which gave her a natural advantage against Midgardsormr.

Moreover, she was empowered by [Dragon Spirit - Bahamut].

Within a few rounds, Midgardsormr was slain.

Rias then defeated Fenrir with her Power of Destruction.

Akeno and Koneko also defeated Fenrir's sons, Hati and Skoll.

Seeing that the others had finished their battles, Kurome stopped playing around.

Her Jormungandr, quickly overwhelmed Loki's World Serpent.

The battlefield was devastated, the entire hill leveled.

"Let me enjoy this a bit more, Loki of the North," Esdeath declared, ready to unleash her full power now that Loki's minions were gone.

"Hmph! You're just a bunch of Devils. You're no match for a God," Loki sneered, still arrogant despite his disadvantage.

He unleashed his power, creating a storm that shook the heavens.

"Loki-sama, please stop! This will affect not only the Underworld but also the surrounding worlds!" Rossweisse cried out in alarm.

"I'm just Bringing Ragnarok forward. That's what I intend to do," Loki retorted nonchalantly.

"What is he planning to do?" Sona asked, her brow furrowed.

The terrifying storm reached them but dissipated before it could harm them. Roy had used his magic to protect their area.

"He's trying to use his Divine Power to tear apart Space-Time," Rossweisse explained grimly.

"What?!" The girls were shocked by Loki's recklessness.

If he succeeded, the entire Underworld could be consumed by the resulting chaos.

"So he's desperate, is he?" Esdeath said, turning back to Loki. "Then it's time to end this hunt."

She snapped her fingers.

"Mahapadma!"

But her usually reliable technique didn't activate. Time didn't freeze.

"What's going on?" Esdeath wondered in surprise.

"It must be because he's manipulating space-time," Roy explained from below.

That was the only explanation. Loki's attempt to tear apart space-time had inadvertently disrupted Esdeath's Mahapadma.

"What do we do now?" Rias asked, her brow furrowed.

Esdeath could defeat Loki without Mahapadma, but killing him would be difficult.

If Loki decided to flee, they wouldn't be able to stop him.

And with Loki already disrupting space-time with his divine power, if they didn't stop him soon, the Underworld would face a catastrophe.

"Haa..." Roy stood up and stretched casually.

"It seems it's my turn."

The girls relaxed, their trust in Roy unwavering.

"Ren!" Roy called out with a smile.

"Yes, Roy. I'm ready to become your sword," Ren replied, her voice filled with determination.

She transformed into a Sword and flew into Roy's hand.

"Roy, why aren't you using me?" Est grumbled, appearing beside him with a pout.

"Well, he's too weak for me to bother," Roy explained, trying to appease the jealous sword spirit.

"I don't care! You didn't use me last time either! I'm angry..."

"How about I treat you to a feast later?" Roy offered, patting her head.

"Mmm... that feels nice..." Est, enjoying the head pat, finally nodded in agreement.

Roy breathed a sigh of relief, then turned towards Loki.

"Loki, you think you can destroy the Underworld? You're digging your own grave," he declared, unleashing his powerful aura.

Loki struggled to breathe under the immense pressure.

"How... His aura is even stronger than Odin's."

He couldn't believe that Roy, who seemed so young, to possess such power.

"Die!"

Roy swung the Sword

"Trying to escape?"

Just as he struck, Loki's true form had already fled, leaving behind a clone.

"Dark Lightning Flash!"

Roy casually swung his sword again.

A bolt of black lightning shot out, striking the fleeing Loki.

With a scream, Loki was incinerated, his soul extinguished by the powerful dark lightning.

...

...

"He's become even stronger!"

"Vali, what do we do? Kuroka is still in his hands."

In a separate dimension, Vali, Bikou, and Arthur watched in shock as Roy effortlessly defeated Loki.

Bikou was the one who had spoken.

After being released by Roy, he had delivered the message to Vali.

But Vali hadn't shown any interest in rescuing Kuroka.

He had come here with a different goal: to capture Fenrir.

Vali wanted to make Fenrir his servant and participate in the World Rating Game tournament.

"Now that Fenrir is dead, shouldn't we retreat?" Arthur, a handsome young man with blond hair, suggested, adjusting his glasses.

They were hiding in this separate dimension thanks to "Caliburn"

Vali nodded in agreement. Just as he was about to speak...

"Vali, you're here, but you don't even bother showing your face? Have you given up on rescuing Kuroka?" Roy's voice echoed through the dimension.

"..."

"He found us?"

"How? We're in a separate dimension!" Bikou and Arthur exclaimed in disbelief.

"It's not impossible. That man's power is unfathomable. Let's go out. There's no point in hiding," Vali said calmly, though he was also surprised.

Arthur activated his "Caliburn" and they appeared on the battlefield.

"It's the White Dragon Emperor!"

"What's he doing here?"

"Vali was hiding here!"

"If it weren't for Roy, we wouldn't have noticed!"

<><><><>

The girls, who had been wondering about Roy's words, were surprised to see Vali appear.

Kuroka, seeing Vali, was initially disappointed.

He had only appeared after Roy called him out, clearly not intending to rescue her.

But then, she smiled. She had made the right choice. Vali and his group were unreliable.

"Vali, are you here to rescue Kuroka?" Roy asked with a mocking smile.

Vali's expression darkened. He couldn't believe Roy hadn't realized they had no intention of rescuing Kuroka.

"No, we came to stop Loki. Now that he's dead, our mission is complete," Arthur replied, adjusting his glasses.

"Really?" Roy shrugged.

Perhaps that was one of their goals, but it wasn't their only one.

"We were actually after Fenrir, but it seems that's no longer an option," Bikou admitted, scratching his head as he watched Kurome collect the corpses of Fenrir and Midgardsormr with her Teigu.

She would turn them into her puppets.

Her strength would increase significantly.

Her fighting style would involve summoning a horde of powerful puppets to overwhelm her opponents.

"How boring," Roy said, glancing at the silent Vali, then waving them away dismissively.

"Roy, I will defeat you one day!" Vali declared.

"Yeah, yeah, I've heard that before. Good luck," Roy replied, rolling his eyes.

"Those I've defeated will never surpass me."

Vali felt a pang of frustration and helplessness.

He had felt this way ever since witnessing Roy effortlessly defeat Loki.

Roy's power was far greater than it had been during their previous encounter.

If they fought now, even with his Juggernaut Drive, Vali would likely lose.

He turned away silently.

Arthur activated his Caliburn and teleported them away.

"Don't worry, Kuroka. I'll always protect you," Roy reassured Kuroka, who seemed a bit lost.

"I knew I made the right choice, nya~" Kuroka purred, nuzzling him affectionately.

"Roy, you're a pervert!" Koneko huffed.

She was still upset about Roy and her sister sleeping together.

Just then, several magic circles appeared nearby.

<><><><>

The Maous, Azazel, Michael, and Odin emerged.

"I didn't expect the Khaos Brigade to be behind this."

"Only the Caliburn could have teleported Loki to the Underworld undetected."

"I doubt Loki expected to be used by the Khaos Brigade."

Roy rolled his eyes, seeing them discussing the incident.

It was already resolved. Why were they here?

Sirzechs noticed his expression and patted his shoulder. "Well done, Roy," he praised.

"It was nothing," Roy replied with a shrug.

"Actually, we have a proposition for you," Sirzechs said with a smile.

Everyone looked at him expectantly.

"After some discussion, we've decided to nominate you as the Fifth Maou of the Underworld," Sirzechs announced.

Rias and the others gasped in surprise.

A Maou was the highest-ranking Devil, a Ruler Of The Underworld.

They were figures of immense power and authority, revered by all Devils.

Rias and Sona admired and respected the Maous.

They were thrilled to hear that Sirzechs was nominating Roy for this position.

They looked at Roy expectantly, eager to hear his response.

"You want me to become a Maou?" Roy asked, surprised.

"Why?"

"You exposed Katerea Leviathan's plot during the Three Factions' Peace Conference, and you've repeatedly thwarted the Khaos Brigade's plans. And now, you've protected the Underworld from Loki's threat," Sirzechs explained.

"Your achievements and your strength make you more than qualified for the position."

Serafall, Falbium, and Ajuka nodded in agreement.

"Roy-kun loves peace. He'll make an excellent Maou," Serafall declared.

Having spent some time with Roy, she had come to understand his character.

Everyone looked at Roy, awaiting his answer.
