"I accept the position of Maou, but..." Roy paused, considering his options. He had a condition.

"But what?" Serafall asked eagerly.

"But don't assign me any tasks. Unless there's a major crisis, I won't participate in any Maou duties," Roy declared.

He was quite lazy. Being a carefree Maou was fine, but he wasn't interested in handling daily administrative tasks.

He would rather spend his time with the girls.

Sona and the others' lips twitched.

Others would do anything to become a Maou.

But Roy had demands.

"Very well. We can agree to that," Sirzechs said after a moment of consideration.

"Then I accept the position," Roy declared.

Seeing his brother-in-law's straightforward agreement, Roy didn't hesitate.

"By the way, Odin, killing Loki won't affect the peace between our factions, will it?" Roy asked with a grin.

"Of course not. In fact, I apologize for his attempt to disrupt the peace," Odin replied smoothly.

After the deaths of God and the original Satans, the power of the Three Factions had declined.

But now, they were rising again.

Odin, having witnessed Roy's strength, wouldn't jeopardize their alliance for the sake of Loki.

<><><><>

The Four Satans then announced the rise of the Fifth Maou to the Underworld.

This News Shocked the Devil Community.

Many Devils couldn't understand why the Satans would choose a young Devil, especially an extra Demon, for such a prestigious position.

"He's just a Young Devil. What makes him qualified to become a Maou?"

"This is an Insult to us Devil Nobles."

"I object to this boy becoming a Maou!"

Many Devil Nobles protested Roy's appointment.

However, Roy's achievements were soon revealed.

"Roy-sama is one of the Six Young Kings. He easily defeated Riser Phenex in his debut."

"Roy-sama also stopped the Old Satan Faction's plot led by Katerea Leviathan."

"I heard he has thwarted the Khaos Brigade's plans many times."

"And he even effortlessly defeated The Norse God Loki, Saving The Underworld."

As his accomplishments were revealed, the tide of public opinion turned.

Most Devils now supported and admired Roy. Although some nobles still opposed him, their voices were drowned out.

Roy's position as the Fifth Maou was confirmed.

<><><><>

During this time, they remained in Sirzechs's territory.

The Rating Game tournament for the Young Generation, organized by Sirzechs had begun.

Roy, as a member of the younger generation, had also been assigned opponents.

However, upon learning that their opponent was Roy, they all forfeited...

"..."

Roy and the girls were currently at the Rating Game arena.

Today was Rias's match. Her opponent was Zephyrdor, the heir to the Glasya-Labolas clan.

The same delinquent with tattoos from before.

"Rias, Good luck," Roy said with a smile.

"Rias-senpai, good luck!" Asia and Aika cheered.

"Don't worry!" Rias replied with a confident grin.

Soon, Rias and Zephyrdor entered the arena.

Their strength was on completely different levels. Rias easily defeated Zephyrdor.

"Roy, your next match is against Diodora Astaroth," Grayfia informed him after the match.

"Oh? He didn't forfeit?" Roy was surprised.

Diodora shouldn't have the courage to challenge him, unless...

"Indeed, he didn't forfeit," Grayfia confirmed.

So Diodora had joined the Khaos Brigade.

It seemed obtaining power from Ophis had inflated his ego. He had the audacity to challenge Roy.

"I see," Roy said calmly.

"Be careful, Roy," Grayfia warned.

"Don't worry, Sis. He won't cause any trouble," Roy reassured her.

<><><><>

The match against Diodora was scheduled for that evening.

"Good luck, Roy!"

"Do your best!"

"Just crush that jerk!"

This time, it was Rias, Sona, and the others cheering for him.

"Haha, it'll be a piece of cake," Roy chuckled, giving them a thumbs up.

He entered the magic circle with his peerage.

A flash of light, and they were transported to a vast, barren landscape.

Jagged rocks littered the ground, and the sky was a dark crimson, like a scene from hell.

A spiral staircase led to a towering castle in the distance.

"This is strange..."

"Is that their base?"

"Something feels off..."

...

The girls noticed the unusual environment. This didn't seem like a typical Rating Game arena.

"Diodora Astaroth must have done this," Saeko deduced.

"It seems we've been lured into a trap," Esdeath said with a smirk.

"Yes, this must be Diodora's doing," Roy confirmed.

Just then, numerous magic circles appeared in the sky.

A horde of Devils, numbering in the tens of thousands, emerged from the circles, their eyes filled with killing intent.

"This must be the full force of the Astaroth clan," Roy scoffed.

"Hahaha, no matter how strong you are, you can't defeat so many High-class and Middle-class Devils, can you? Hahaha, die! Die!" Diodora's voice echoed from the distance.

"..."

"Esdeath, can you take care of those two over there? I'll deal with this idiot myself," Roy said, pointing towards two figures hiding in the shadows.

One was a descendant of the previous Asmodeus, named Creuserey Asmodeus.

The other was a descendant of the previous Beelzebub, named Shalba Beelzebub.

"Very well," Esdeath agreed.

...

...

"Hahaha, if you want to defeat me, then come! I'll be waiting in the castle!" Diodora cackled, then teleported away.

Roy didn't stop him. He suddenly looked up at the sky.

Sirzechs and the others were there, seemingly waiting for something.

He could sense a powerful presence.

Roy glanced at the castle, then shook his head. "I don't have time to play cat and mouse with him."

"Saeko, I'll leave him to you."

With that, Roy vanished.

"Yes!" Saeko replied, then charged towards the castle with Kurome and the others.

They cut down any Devil bold enough to stand in their way.

Although there were many High-class and Middle-class, they were no match for Roy's peerage.

Roy appeared beside Sirzechs and the others.

His eyes were fixed on a small figure standing among them.

It was a young girl with long black hair, dressed in a black Gothic Lolita dress. Her delicate features made her look like a porcelain doll.

Roy instantly recognized her as Ophis, the Ouroboros Dragon, one of the most powerful beings in this world.

"I didn't expect you to show up in person. What are you planning, Ophis?" Azazel asked, his voice wary.

"Azazel, it's been a while. I'm just here to observe," Ophis replied. Her voice was melodious but devoid of emotion, as if nothing in the world could affect her.

"Watching from the sidelines? Well, it seems the enemy leader has appeared. If we defeat you here, there will be peace, right?" Azazel chuckled, though his words held a hint of challenge.

"That's impossible. You can't defeat me, Azazel," Ophis stated flatly.

Roy, hearing this, couldn't help but laugh.

Azazel and the others looked at him, as did Ophis.

"Ahem... The Governor General's words are always so amusing," Roy said with a smirk.

Ophis was innocent, naive, and unworldly, more pure than anyone else.

Otherwise, she would have retaliated against Azazel's provocation.

After all, Ophis was one of the most powerful beings in this world, her strength far beyond Azazel's comprehension.

Roy estimated that Ophis was at the level of a "5-B".

Tier-5 were beings capable of destroying planets.

Although she had been driven out of the Dimensional Gap by Great Red, her power was on par with his, only slightly weaker.

Azazel's face twitched in embarrassment.

"Ophis, what is your goal?" Roy asked, ignoring Azazel and approaching Ophis with a smile.

"A Silent World."

"I want to return to my home, the Dimensional Gap, and find peace. That is all."

Ophis's expression remained blank.

Unlike other Dragons, she was born in the Dimensional Gap.

It was her home, and she had been exiled from it by Great Red.

Her goal was simple: defeat Great Red and return home.

Sirzechs and the others understood her desire.

"Then why did you become the leader of the Khaos Brigade?" Roy asked.

"Because Rizevim promised to help me defeat Great Red," Ophis replied innocently.

"I see. You were used by the Khaos Brigade," Sirzechs said, realizing why Ophis had joined them.

The Khaos Brigade wouldn't have been able to rise to prominence without Ophis's backing.

"Ophis, if you want to defeat Great Red, perhaps I can help you," Roy offered.

"Y-You can't..." Ophis said, shaking her head after observing him.

Roy was currently Maou level. He was still far from reaching their level of power.

"Oh? So there's someone in the Khaos Brigade stronger than me?"

Ophis studied Roy, her gaze lingering on the spirit seals on his arms.

"No," she finally replied, shaking her head.

Roy smirked. He had her hooked.

"If the Khaos Brigade doesn't have anyone stronger than me, how can they help you defeat Great Red?"

"..."

"Why don't you join me instead? I can help you defeat Great Red," Roy offered.

Ophis, despite her naivete, understood his intentions.

Her eyes sparkled with hope.

"Really?"

"Of course."

"Then I agree. If you can help me defeat Great Red, I'm willing to share my power with you."

Ophis accepted his offer.

She could sense Roy's true strength from the spirit seals on his arms.

Roy was overjoyed.

If he could form a contract with Ophis, his power would reach the level of a Tier-5.

However, the difference in their strength was currently too vast. He didn't meet the requirements for a contract yet.

But he had resolved the Khaos Brigade's interference and gained a powerful ally. It was a win-win situation.
