Chapter 354: Even so, Riser's life is peaceful
While Riser focused on training Sona and the others, many started to react due to Riser's announcement to collect the Longinus.
The fallen angel, the Grigori group, didn't react much since all of the Longinus users in their group had left, and those Longinus users had become their enemies. Moreover, their former governor was killed by the Longinus, so they approved and even supported Riser's decision to collect all the Longinus.
If there was a problem, it would be the angel since Michael had a hard time deciding what to do, but in the end, he decided to visit the Underworld to see Riser with the user of the Longinus from the church as he would lead Riser to make a decision by himself. It was also a good chance to check with Irina to see whether she had done a good job or not.
Still, among the Greek myths, there was no doubt that Hades made trouble again.
"Hmph! I am sure he is just trying to make the devil become stronger!"
"If so, then so what?"
"It isn't like nothing changed anyway."
Zeus and Poseidon were at ease since their position hadn't changed, and they also had a comfortable life under the alliance, so why should they make trouble?
"How much you have fallen, Zeus! Poseidon!"
Zeus looked at Hades lazily and then asked, "Then, go and fight Riser Lucifer-sama alone. Go to him if you are unsatisfied."
"..." Hades.
"If you don't even have the courage to do that, then stop bitching. You are annoying."
"..."
Hades couldn't say anything since he knew how helpless he was. Still, he didn't give up and went to the Underworld once again, visiting someone that he had helped secretly. Walking toward the Cocytus, he met two individuals whom he had supported.
"Rizevim, Euclid, how is it?"
"Geez, Hades, what's wrong? Why is your face so bad?"
"Just tell me!"
Rizevim only smiled and didn't say anything, but Euclid sighed and said, "We're about to reach our success, but even so... I don't think that we can do it, you know?" Frankly, unlike Hades, who was stubborn, and Rizevim, who was a nutjob, he didn't think that there was any point in staying on the Khaos Brigade anymore, especially when Ophis stayed with Riser.
Moreover, Samael was also stolen from the Cocytus.
Even though no one knew who could steal Samael, if there was one person who could do it, then it was only that person.
The owner of "Dimensional Lost," Georg, but as of the moment, he has already disappeared along with all the members of the Hero Faction.
Lastly, how could one defeat a mighty being that could destroy the Hindu and Chinese myths at the same time alone?
Euclid was in despair and didn't know what to do, but as the most loyal servant of Lucifer, there was nothing that he could do.
"It's okay. You only need to do your research, and I will make my own team to destroy this alliance."
This research was important for Hades, and he would definitely do it.
Watching Hades leave, Rizevim shook his head. "What a fool. How could you kill someone who can't be killed?" Even though he was helpless toward Riser, his purpose had never been about Riser, and Riser also didn't seem to have an interest in him, which was a great thing for him.
"Though, he is a fool for not realizing that we have been using him." Rizevim felt quite funny toward Hades.
"Don't say that, Rizevim-sama. We still need him, after all."
"That's true. It's more comfortable to live here than living on the outside." Rizevim sighed, wondering how the son of the Lucifer had fallen so low. Yet, it didn't matter to him since his purpose had always been in a different place. "Have you talked to that guy?"
"Yes, but it seems that he is still hesitating."
"Well, he is going to fight our Lucifer-sama after this, and I am sure that he will change after that."
"You think so, Rizevim-sama?"
"Our champion is too foolish, idiotic, and pure. It's like we're talking to children, you know?"
"I can't deny that."
"Well, our purpose has always been to use him, after all, so there isn't anything to worry about."
"He is going to die, you know, Rizevim-sama?"
"Isn't that great? After he dies, we can use him after all."
"Well, that's true." Euclid nodded, then said, "But even so, Riser Phenex isn't as foolish as Sirzech, and he is... strong."
"I know..." Rizevim sighed at Riser's power, but then he said, "It's okay. You don't need to worry and add "-sama" to him, you know? I even use a "-sama" to call him. It feels weird if you, as my servant, don't use "-sama" on him."
"...then, Riser-sama."
"Use Lucifer, bastard!"
"Ah, um, Lucifer-sama."
Even if they were on the opposite, Rizevim and Euclid had to admit that they admired Riser since he could not only avenge his enemies but also sleep with the enemy's little sister. He could even do what the real Lucifer couldn't do. In their minds, Riser was much more Lucifer than the original Lucifer.
Rather, Lucifer's title was simply too small to define his existence.
God was probably the most suitable.
Nevertheless, they were fated to be an enemy since their purpose was to destroy this world.
"Though, I hope that something fun will happen."
"Hades will make it fun, right?"
"Hahaha... you are right. Let's help him. It won't be fun if Hades loses too quickly."
"Yes, Rizevim-sama."
As the two did their best to help Hades, Rizevim suddenly changed the topic of conversation. "By the way, what about that?"
"That?"
"I mean that!"
"Well... it seems that there is this strange turbulence."
"I see..." Rizevim smiled and said, "I guess our Lucifer-sama still needs to work hard."
"Yeah, but somehow, I can't imagine that he is going to lose."
"It doesn't matter who is going to win since my purpose has never been that."
As for the Hero Faction, who was with the future Gasper, waiting for the savior who was going to save them, nothing had changed since they only needed to wait, but they needed to be even careful since those with the Longinus had a higher bounty than anyone.
Still, Tobio's situation wasn't good as he knew what had happened to Suzaku.
However, Arthur comforted him, and it caused the two to have a better friendship.
Yet, no matter what, whatever those things planned to do, it didn't affect Riser's life much. Instead, before the "Rating Game" between his wife and Sairaorg started, he gave her a special Mocking Gear.
"So, what's its name?"
"Be surprised!"
"...um."
Whenever Riser made a new Mocking Gear, there had always been this ceremony where everyone waited for him to announce the name of his Mocking Gear. Among Sona's peerage members, only Sona, Saji, and Tsubaki didn't have Mocking Gear, but unlike Saji and Tsubaki, who owned Sacred Gear, Sona didn't have Sacred Gear.
Still, Sona was Riser's wife, so there was no doubt that he would definitely give her a Mocking Gear, and finally, he decided to give it to her.
Then, Riser took out his Mocking Gear first, presenting a beautiful Wakizashi, or a short Japanese blade with a gorgeous silver color. When everyone saw this, they all gasped at its beauty, but they knew the name of this thing was definitely quite unique.
"What's its name, Dear?" Sona asked as she couldn't remove her eyes from her new Mocking Gear.
"Seabiscuit. That's its name."
"....." Everyone.
