Although I don't want to admit it, the Crimson Dragon Emperor's actions were indeed not problematic.
After all, Theodora did try to scheme against him and the nun.
In addition, the disgusting things they did further worsened the relationship between the church and the devil, making the two sides more hostile in recent years and increasing casualties.
Finally, they even colluded with foreign enemies in an attempt to overthrow the existing order.
They deserve to die.
They did not doubt that this was a lie told by Yalin through Diodora, after all, most of the evidence against him could be verified by going to the Astarti family.
In fact, Ajaca had heard about the background of this blood relative, but he was so engrossed in his technological research and development and had a poor relationship with Theodora that he did not pay any further attention to these matters.
"How do you feel? Are you still going to stop me?" Yalin asked expressionlessly.
If Serjax and Ajax insist on protecting Diodora, he wouldn't mind letting the demon know what a true catastrophe is.
"...I hope His Majesty the Crimson Dragon Emperor will give him a quick death."
After a few moments of silence, Ajaka spoke, causing Theodora, who was lying on the ground groaning in pain, to widen his eyes in disbelief that the other party had given up on him so easily.
He wanted to beg for mercy, but no sound came out.
Serjax watched as Lysa and the Revel siblings were observed.
What are the reasons for Phoenix's involvement?
When Serjax heard Rias's account and learned that Raisa had offended Arlin in a jealous fight, his lips twitched.
This generation of demons is truly unique; each one is more capable of causing trouble than the last.
Now that things have come to this, it's impossible for him and Ajeka to start a war with Yalin.
Ultimately, the devil is at fault and has no right to complain.
Moreover, given Yalin's strength, the outcome of the fight is uncertain, and the entire Demon King's Castle would likely be destroyed.
Even if Yalin is defeated, the demon race will likely suffer heavy casualties.
As demon kings, they must consider the interests of their entire race when doing things.
Yalin snapped his fingers lightly, causing Diodora to vanish completely.
"Regarding Leisa, his actions were purely instigated by Theodora and he did not intend to offend you. Could you please spare him this time?"
Serjax looked at the blond youth lying on the ground and said sincerely.
After all, this was the person he was engaged to Rias, and he had to do everything he could to protect her.
Upon hearing this, Raville was filled with hope. This was His Majesty Lucifer. Even if the Crimson Dragon Emperor was fierce, he would still have to give the Demon King some face.
"I've already stated the conditions."
Yalin's tone remained unchanged; he wanted to study Phoenix's bloodline and abilities, and no one's face mattered.
Serjax felt somewhat helpless upon hearing this.
The Crimson Dragon Emperor before them was clearly a person who wouldn't let things go when he was in the right. He was relatively easy to get along with if you didn't provoke him, but once you were identified as an enemy, he was a nightmare.
He had initially been surprised that Azazel hadn't even attempted any revenge after being severely wounded. Now, it seemed that the old man was truly worthy of settling his score with Yarin.
Since fighting is not an option, we can only continue negotiating.
"You're demanding members of the Phoenix family, not just to vent your anger, are you?"
Ajeka, however, grasped the key point.
This Crimson Dragon Emperor never lets go without a reason. The reason why the other party is so obsessed with Phoenix is probably because this family member has something he needs.
“You’re quite perceptive,” Yalin said, not denying it.
Is it the tears of the phoenix, or a near-immortal constitution?
Beelzebub fell into thought.
The demonic forces had naturally studied the Phoenix family's constitution, after all, they were a branch of the legendary sacred beasts.
However, the results were not outstanding.
In fact, every pure-blooded demon family possesses characteristics derived from their bloodline.
Phoenix's abilities were indeed powerful, but he was not invincible. When he found that he could not make any progress in his research, he gave up.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Raville asked anxiously, her face turning pale.
Yalin turned to look at her, revealing a kind smile: "After the exchange, I wouldn't mind telling you the truth."
As for now, your brother's condition is getting worse and worse; it's best to inform the Phoenix members as soon as possible to make a decision.
Raville felt dejected upon hearing this; she now understood why the demons of the past hated the Crimson Dragon Emperor so much.
However, there was indeed no time to hesitate.
"Red Dragon Emperor, let me exchange for my brother."
The blonde girl took a deep breath and said with a look of grim determination.
"can."
For Yalin, Phoenix is all he needs.
Of course, Raville, this blonde beauty, has an advantage in appearance compared to Raisa, and is more pleasing to the eye.
"Wait, are you going to do something horrible to Revel?"
Despite knowing she was not strong enough to interrupt, Rias couldn't help but ask.
"Don't worry, it's just to have her cooperate with me in some research and to test some abilities. Once the goal is achieved, it doesn't matter what she does."
Yalin spoke the truth.
In fact, for most demon families, all he needs is some blood.
Phoenix is quite special; basic blood alone may not be effective, and it requires the cooperation of a member.
Even with Leisa, as long as the other party doesn't continue to act recklessly, he will throw the turkey back after he has achieved his research results.
"I see." Rias breathed a sigh of relief.
Raville was stunned. She thought she was about to fall into a fire pit and suffer all kinds of inhumane torture.
This Crimson Dragon Emperor, no matter how you look at it, is a ruthless person.
Serjax listened to the conversation and thought that if it was only at this level, there was no need to intervene.
Once Yalin canceled the ability to suppress regeneration, flames quickly erupted from Leisa's wounds, allowing him to recover rapidly.
However, when he opened his eyes and saw Yalin, his pupils were filled with fear and panic, clearly leaving a significant psychological scar.
Yalin ignored him and activated the teleportation array leading to Kuoh Town.
As for demon blood, it's best not to get it openly. Anyway, the target has already been marked; we'll just wait until the dead of night to ambush them.
Faced with Yalin's departure, the two demon kings simply watched silently, without making any attempt to stop him.
This Crimson Dragon Emperor only stayed for a short while before killing a Demon King's blood relative. If he had stayed any longer, the entire Demon King's City might not have been able to be saved.
Now that the other party is leaving, they feel much more at ease.
Raville followed quietly behind, feeling quite uneasy about her future.
As the eldest daughter of the Phoenix family, she never imagined that she would end up being taken away by humans.
Fortunately, Rias was still by her side for the time being. The princess of Gremory promised to visit her often, which put her at ease.
Upon arriving at Kuoh Town, Yalin casually instructed, "I don't have high expectations of you. Just cooperate with me during the research. As long as you don't disappear, you're free to do whatever you want with the rest of the time."
This Crimson Dragon Emperor was surprisingly lenient.
Raville silently watched Yalin, then agreed.
Although she has a somewhat proud personality, she is not indiscriminate in her behavior.
“Asia, could you please show Revel around here? She’ll be staying here for quite some time.”
Yalin smiled at the nun.
After a moment of surprise, Asia said firmly, "No problem, I will definitely make this devilish lady like this place completely."
"It doesn't have to go that far."
Yalin watched Asia lead Revel away, then turned to look at Rias.
"Our previous conversation was interrupted by someone who didn't want to be involved. Now, let's formally discuss my compensation."
You can choose to skip one of the following two options.
Firstly, once the King's pieces are analyzed and improved, you will become the first demon to obtain this power, which will take some time.
Secondly, I can grant you a harmless wish, provided it doesn't take too much time.
Since he promised to provide compensation, he will naturally keep his word.
Just like he promised Tajo Koneko, he had been gathering some intelligence during this time and had roughly located Kuroka's location, preparing to catch this cat demon.
Rias was very interested in Arlin's proposal. She was quite annoyed by her elders' pressure to get married, especially to marry someone she didn't like.
If we could ask Lord Yalin to negotiate with his brother, perhaps we could have some peace for a while.
As for power, although she was very curious about the characteristics of the King's chess piece, she couldn't solve the current problem.
After hesitating for a while, Rias shook her head and refused.
"Lord Yalin, I was merely delivering a message; this reward is far too generous."
Putting aside the fact that the effort and reward were disproportionate, she felt it was inappropriate to have the Crimson Dragon Emperor do such a thing.
“I have a word I’ve said, and there’s no reason for me to take it back,” Yalin said calmly.
"Moreover, according to the devil's rules, you must pay the corresponding price for doing his bidding."
Don't worry, many of the troubles you see are nothing to me.
"In that case, may I ask you a few questions before you make a choice?"
Rias recalled the worried looks of the two Demon Lords and the "Chaos Group" that Diodora mentioned, and realized that the future of this world would undergo a great change, and wanted to know the reason.
