A few days later.
At this time, another news was published that shook not just the underworld, but the whole world entirely.
A devil, Serafall Leviathan's Queen, actually fought and held his ground against Hades, one of the Top 10 Strongest Beings in the World.
This brought shockwaves to the entire supernatural, with everyone trying to find out where did the New Leviathan got her hands on such a powerful subordinate.
They were even trying to figure out why someone so overwhelmingly powerful would subject himself to a being far weaker than he was.
One theory was that Serafall seduced her Queen. Another suggested that it was probably Hades beating the Queen and the devils just twisted the truth.
There is even a theory that says that Serafall's queen is actually an extraterrestrial being who was severely injured and was accidentally found and healed by her in exchange for his servitude.
It was such a ridiculous theory that everyone who heard of it couldn't help but burst into laughter.
When they found out who came up with this theory, they can only nod their heads in understanding.
It was the Archangel Gabriel, the world renowned airhead, but a stupidly powerful being capable of challenging Chief Gods and Primordials alike.
No one dared to laugh anymore.
While all these "chaos" keeps happening, Starrk remained in the barracks all these time and spent his days sleeping.
His fellow soldiers were to afraid of even getting near him, especially after how they found out that how he took on one of the strongest beings in the world.
He was swinging on his hammock, listening to some music on the radio. He got to say, devils really have a taste for music.
His all time favorite was the Devil's Trill Sonata, the original one played by Mephisto Pheles, the devil who taught the music to that human musician.
From some books he read in his free time, it says that Lucifer also used to bring a choir when he goes to the battlefield.
What a madlad.
Even the angels doesn't want to be outdone as they sung worship while their armies slaughtered the devils and the fallens.
"Hello~! Hello~! Hello~! It is I, your favorite Magical Girl, Levi-tan!"
Starrk's peaceful days ended at the arrival of his king, Serafall, who is, strangely enough, dressed formally and wasn't wearing her magical girl outfit.
She was wearing a formal blue gray long sleeved buttoned shirt with a black skirt pencil skirt, with her legs covered by a black stockings.
"Sorry, I got busy dealing with politics and stuff. I only got the time to visit you now." Said Serafall.
Starrk nodded, "It's fine. Sorry for giving you more work."
"Hehe, don't worry about it. It's no trouble at all!"
"...Why that color?" Starrk asked, observing her up and down, "I thought you said you like the color green?"
Serafall smiled as she answered, "As of recently, I started to like blue, and gray, blue-gray. But enough about that, I have a surprise for you!"
Starrk rolled his eyes, "Joy."
Serafall pouted, "Come on! Be happy a little! I'm taking you out of the military now! You being able to fight Hades was more than enough to convince the council to let you stay with me."
'But I quite like it here.' Thought Starrk, but of course, he didn't really voice it outloud.
He sat up, stared at Serafall and asked, "So? What do you plan on doing to those people?"
Those people, he meant was the same people who asked the council to give him away and prevent her taking any other pieces.
Serafall gave a half-smile, "Oh, you know. Stuff. There are things better left unsaid."
"Hmm," Starkk nodded, deciding not to inquire more. He was not interested anyway.
"By the way, I have another surprise for you!" Serafall giggled, imagining Starrk's reaction after finding out about Harribel.
Starrk raised an brow in confusion, but seeing that Serafall seems to have no intention of telling him, he simply shrugged it off and nodded.
"Come on, I already talked to Fal-chan about your resignation. I'll bring you home now."
Starrk nodded as he left his hammock and pick up his back that was placed on his bed.
"Let's go then. I kind of miss Lilynette now." He paused, before turning towards Serafall with a serious look, "Don't tell her I said that."
Serafall just chuckled, "Don't worry. My lips are sealed."

"What do we do?" An old devil questioned the rest of his companions.
"Leviathan's Queen has become so valuable to be kicked away," another clutched his head in anger, "We can no longer do anything to him. And with Leviathan's temper, she will surely get rid of us all!"
One must not forget, Serafall Leviathan was the Satan of Foreign Affairs. Her political power is the strongest amongst all the Satans and she alone was the reason why they can hold their ground against the Elder Council and the Great King Faction.
And though her personality was completely different now, Serafall was previously known as the "Bloodstained Tactician".
She was a merciless, calculative, and ruthless tactician that lead the New Satan Faction on their victory against the Old Satan Faction.
In her eyes, lives are nothing but numbers, and devils are nothing but chess pieces. She would ruthlessly sacrifice even her own friends and family to gain an upper hand.
She once sacrificed an entire Pillar lineage to take down three out of the Six Houses of Lucifer that served the original Lucifer.
Although that is a great victory, even her allies couldn't help but get chilled at such ruthlessness and willingness to sacrifice an entire lineage.
Don't look at her current bubbly self now, she was a devil most feared throughout the underworld, more so than Sirzechs Lucifer, the Satan with the highest combat power.
Previously, they can suppress her with the support of the Elder Council, but now, with the value of Coyote Starrk, the council would surely side with Serafall.
There will be no one left to support them, and Serafall can easily get rid of them.
At this moment...
"Greetings, gentlemen."
The devils in the room all stood up in shock as a man entered the room, before sitting down on one of the chairs and smiled at them.
One of the old devil gulped nervously, his trembling finger pointed at the man, "S-S-Silvester S-Sitri..."
That's right. The one who interrupted this little gathering is none other than the father of Serafall, Silvester Sitri.
"You've given my daughter quite a bit of trouble, it seems." Silvester observed the old devils, with them not even being able to make eye contact.
Truthfully, as much as they feared the new Leviathan, the old devils was absolutely terrified of Silvester Sitri.
After the Great War against the Angels and Fallen Angels, the House of Sitri have fallen into decline, and was on the verge of being wiped out.
It was Silvester, with his unmatched political and business skills, paired with his decisiveness, he ruthlessly trampled over other clans and brought the House of Sitri to its golden age.
At this moment, the House of Sitri became part of the Octagram —the Eight Star Pillar Houses.
They are known as the most powerful and influential Houses in the Underworld, with powers surpassing the Elder Council if they united.
"L-Lord Si-Silvester...we..."
"Sshh," Silvester raised a finger to his lips, "I'm the one doing the talking, you do the listening."
They nodded, tremblingly.
"Now then." Silvester smirked, "My daughter ignored you all because she honestly couldn't care less how you use her name, but this time, you people really let that power get to your head that you dared to bare your fangs at your master."
He stood up, his fingers tapping on the table, "Serafall doesn't have to deal with you lot herself, I'll eradicate you personally. Expect that by tomorrow, all people you have connections with will cut contact with you. Your clan will be suppressed and 'cleaned'. Your descendants will be imprisoned. And your head will be hanged on the pillar of shame."
Without waiting for any reactions, Silvester turned around and began to walk away.
The old devils stared at him in fear, before one of them finally couldn't handle and erupted in anger.
"Silvester Sitri!!!" The old devil roared as his demonic power surged out of his body, intending to attack.
"Hoh?" Silvester halted his steps as he looked over his shoulders and smiled, "It seems that I've gotten softer that you lot forgot who I am."
He fixed his tie before turning to face the old devil who was preparing to attack, "I am Silvester Sitri, the Devil of the Sea. And you best not forget that."
With a wave of his finger, Silvester pulled out all water and blood from the devil's body and brought it closer to him.
Before the old devil could react, blood started pouring out of his body, and he couldn't even let out a scream before he was completely dried up.
The others could only stare in fear.
Then, the blood and water Silvester pulled out transformed into blood arrows and was aimed at the old devils.
"Well, forget tomorrow. I'll eradicate you all tonight."
With a gentle smile, Silvester started his slaughter.
