The first one was fine until the last part that was a bit...
What does this matter have to do with calling you 'Onii-chan?'
Whoever that woman was, she would most likely fall into that man's hands.
The heroines were quite amused, but Liala who was hearing Eiji's inner voice for the first time was stunned.
Previously she heard the inner voice belonging to the woman named Samantha Bella, now she heard Eiji Seiya's. Liala began to suspect that she was awakening a new ability that allowed her to hear people's inner voices.
However, she could not control this ability!
Moreover ― what Liala heard coming from Eiji's inner voice made her have a little hope... But that hope was also mixed with some other emotions that made her stand there in a daze.
'Who would call you Onii-chan? You're dreaming! Is it true that Leo-kun died at the hands of Belphegor? That bastard... I wanted to kill him... But he also died by blowing himself up with Leo-kun...'
In the end Liala didn't know who she should take revenge on. But what she was most curious about was... Could Eiji really bring Leo-kun back to life?
Even so―
"What tricks are you guys playing? Do you want to trick Onee-chan? Onee-chan won't be fooled by tricks like this!" Liala's killing intent had indeed diminished a little, but she was still staring at Eiji and Bella with hostility in her eyes that made the two people confused.
"What is this woman talking about?" Bella asked.
"No idea." Eiji shrugged his shoulders.
"Still won't admit it? Those voices I heard... ?!!"
Liala widened her eyes, she held her white neck and wondered what was wrong because just as she was about to say the inner voice she heard ― her voice suddenly disappeared. She tried again of course, several times, but the result was the same and she felt a chill in her heart that let her know. If she pushed beyond this, something bad would happen to her.
Liala normally wouldn't be afraid of others, but the feeling she felt just now made her a little scared and lost her courage to tell Eiji and Bella that she could hear their inner voices.
It seemed that this had nothing to do with Eiji and Bella, but another person whose whereabouts she did not know and could not afford to mention...! Besides, Liala could not die before avenging her younger brother's death. There was also hope that Eiji might actually be able to revive Leohart.
¶{.....}
Good job, Miss System.
Seeing Liala's obvious confusion on her beautiful face, Eiji put his hands in his pockets and looked at the blonde woman casually.
"I don't know what's wrong with you. But Liala, what are you doing next?"
Liala frowned, suddenly her eyes lit up. Even so ― Bella could see that Liala wasn't planning on making peace with them. The woman's aura was still unfriendly and her smile still looked fake.
"Eiji-kun, right? Onee-chan wants something from you..."
"Let's hear it."
[Liala wants something from me? Although I feel like she's become more friendly than before, the way she looks at me has no good intentions at all. In the original work, other than Leohart, Liala's attitude towards other men was actually not very good. If a man other than her younger brother touched her, she would kill that man.]
"Fufufu. I heard you can revive people?" At the same time, Liala began to understand how the inner voice worked. As long as she didn't say explicitly, her voice wouldn't disappear like before.
Still, Eiji actually knew this much about her? He even knew her name which not many people in Demon Realm knew about her identity. Eiji seemed to know from the original work, but what exactly was it? Liala did not understand.
"Hm?" Eiji looked at Liala with amusement. "Indeed... Although it's not that easy, I can indeed do it."
"Then Leo-kun―"
"Why would I do that? Revive your little brother? We're not even that close. Technically, we're enemies and come from different factions."
[Although I initially felt sorry for Liala in this plot; her attitude made me reluctant to help. What the hell? Do you think I'm going to lick you and nod to give you what you want just because you're so pretty?]
You don't?
Since childhood Liala has always been confident in her looks, all men can't help but be attracted to her, even her younger brother is in love with her.
[There are many beautiful women in the world, the women in my harem too... In terms of appearance, they are no less than Liala. The female protagonist Bella, even though she is crooked is also actually no less than Liala in beauty.]
[So someone, tell me, why should I hang myself on Liala's tree? This woman is a sick, brocon who thinks about her younger brother's penis. I honestly don't understand, why would Liala even fall for Leohart? Just because he's the only guy she played house with when she was little? How cute.]
[This kind of plot... How many times have I seen it in novels? In short no, I'm only here to prevent Bella's female protagonist from dying because she's still useful to me.]
"You..."
Liala was starting to doubt her charm, but more than that she was really annoyed because this was the first time a guy had mocked her to this extent.
Liala had already decided, even if Eiji didn't want to, she just needed to force him!
"Since you don't want to, Onee-chan just needs to force you to do it!"
Liala's angel wings turned into scythes again and her figure quickly appeared in front of Eiji. Liala had no intention of killing Eiji because she had something she wanted from him; but that didn't mean she couldn't torture him, cut his body and make him beg for―
*Slap!*
Under the dumbfounded gaze of Bella, and Liala whose cheeks were currently stinging and whose body was thrown into the ruins of the castle.
Eiji slapped Liala's face!
As for Liala's attack? It hit Eiji, but I don't know what the man's body was made of because Liala's scythe that was able to cut through mountains and space bounced off when it touched him. In that moment, Eiji casually but very quickly in the eyes of the two women ― he slapped Liala's right cheek.
At this moment, Liala had a red handprint on her beautiful face. The woman looked at Eiji who slowly descended to the ground and walked to her direction with a blank stare.
No idea what Liala was thinking, but this was definitely the first time someone dared to slap her face.
And it was done by a man!
"Sigh... You think I don't dare hit women? Liala, you made a bad choice. There were obviously other options you could have chosen like begging me, but you chose to force me? What a bad choice you made..."
Eiji stood right in front of the kneeling Liala and looked at her beautiful face that was slowly distorted by madness as if it would eat him alive.
Eiji looked down on the woman.
"Eiji Seiya, how dare, how dare you...! You hit Onee-chan in the face! You hit me, you slapped me! Touching me like this, you clearly want to die! Only Leo-kun can touch me...!"
Liala roared, her aura exploding to an even more terrifying level than before. The ground beneath their feet shattered and lifted into the air. Her eyes turned red and a halo appeared again above her head. In such close proximity, she was very confident of killing Eiji.
But―
"That's it? All of it?" Eiji said while ignoring the chaotic space around him. His own body was enveloped in a red and black aura that was faint but enough to keep him unaffected by the power Liala released.
If it was anyone else, many of them would already be dead and their bodies destroyed from being eroded by the dark and holy elements that worked somewhat like the Power of Destruction. Even Bella, the female protagonist hurriedly flew over two kilometers because the power Liala released had such a long range!
The ruins of castles, cities and surrounding mountains had even vanished in the process.
In the history of Demon Lords and Demon Gods in the Demon Realm, none of them were as powerful as Liala who could easily create this much destruction in one fell swoop ― and Eiji knew Liala had not yet reached her limit.
What exactly was Liala? She was also not just a demon with the appearance of a goddess and angel wings on her back. The original work didn't explain much about this because the author didn't even make Liala a heroine and paired her with a man like Leohart.
Eiji didn't know, but Bella seemed to know something?
{This is it! This power! Although not as strong as I was in my prime. Liala definitely has a lot of room to grow and that's why I wanted her so badly before. After all, when else do you have a woman who's a mix of a demon and an angel?}
{More precisely, from what I know after reading the light novel until volume EX 7}
No... Didn't the novel version only reach volume 13 and was already finished? There is indeed an EX volume, but in his previous life it was still one volume.
Then Eiji remembered, Bella came from another version of Earth. As Miss System once said, there were many worlds in the multiverse and although some were similar ― they were different versions of the others.
And the franchise plot here has also been changed by Miss System's acquaintance. It was not impossible that the Liala who was now staring at her in disbelief was different from the one she knew.
{Liala is not a demon, nor is she an angel, if I'm not mistaken she should be called Seraphellians. Not much is explained either because the author doesn't want to go into too much detail, but Liala is an atavism ― not that her parents are demons and angels, they're all demons. But she has a bloodline that probably originated from her ancestors in whose generation that bloodline was fully awakened.}
{By the way Eiji who is fine and looks relaxed while standing near Liala is also a monster! I don't know what that guy's body is made of.}
{He looks fine that's good... Mm? No, no, what was I thinking?!}
Seraphellians huh? Putting aside Liala who just found out what her race was.
Eiji was more curious if this female protagonist was slowly getting a little straight? Whatever it was, it really didn't matter. The reason why Bella was still alive until now was also because the knowledge of the plot was different from his. Without the woman, Eiji knew he would probably miss the details of Liala being captured by the Demon Council ― even with his Future Insight. Just in case, he still had to preserve the woman's life until this modified arc was completed.
Eiji looked at Liala who also just realized the gap between them after seeing that he was fine.
"Why, why can't Onee-chan hurt you? This is cheating..." Liala bit her lip, Eiji's slap marks on her face had disappeared thanks to her releasing her true power.
But even with all that, she was unable to hurt Eiji.
Instead of looking at Eiji with hatred like before, Liala felt hopeless and sad that she couldn't revive her younger brother. This made the brocon yandere's eyes water and seemed to want to cry.
Eiji clicked his tongue. Liala couldn't hurt him because of the obvious power difference and she called him a cheat? Dua also looked like she was going to cry?
Woman, you're the one who cheated.
Even so, Eiji stayed true to his original plan and said.
"I'm sure you already know the answer. I think we're done here."
"You don't want to kill me?" Liala asked, her halo had disappeared and her eyes were turning blue again.
On the other side, Eiji still looked fine and looked at her with an indifferent gaze. Isn't she beautiful? What's with that stare!
Liala clenched her fists, she felt very frustrated at the man in front of her. Liala didn't realize it, but she had lost her killing intent and looked at Eiji with a complicated look.
Then, she heard―
[Killing Liala? Although she dared to attack me with killing intent before... Forget it, I'll let it go for this time. Only this time.]
[It's definitely not because I'm weak to the tears of a woman as beautiful as Liala. I admit I'm attracted to her, but this woman is so obsessed with her younger brother.]
[So what if I revive Leohart? After which Liala would just thank me and leave? Now that I realize it, isn't that too poisonous? It's disgusting to the point that I'd rather let Leohart fuse with the ground forever.]
"Forget it." Eiji shook his head, and threw something at Liala.
Liala naturally caught the small object and it turned out to be a jewel-shaped magical device that people in the Demon Realm usually used to display videos.
"This..."
"It's the CCTV footage that captured Leohart and Belphegor's battle scene. I originally planned to use that to convince people that it wasn't the Moderate Faction that killed the Demon Council leader just in case."
Eiji continued, "I gave you a copy to convince you that me and that woman, Bella had nothing to do with Leohart's death."
"....." Liala was silent, she was actually thinking about what Eiji said in her heart. She looked at the recording in her hand and then transferred magic to it. Incidentally, this was a magic device of the type that directly transferred videos/images to the user's brain and the process would be short.
"Ah...I forgot to mention that there is a bit of a disgusting scene in there. In addition to liking beautiful women, Belphegor also liked handsome men, so before Belphegor was successfully killed and exploded. At that time Leohart was overwhelmed and there was a bit of an accident... Your younger brother has actually been stabbed once in... Looks like it's too late."
Eiji grinned, this was genuine, no fabrication at all because in the original work ― Belphegor who saw Basara pretending to faint had also commented that Basara was handsome. Unfortunately at that time he was caught off guard and Basara managed to kill him using Brynhildr. Otherwise, Basara might have experienced the same thing as Leohart.
Liala's face paled, although it wasn't too obvious because the camera was far away, her younger brother was already dirty...
[I wonder if Liala still loves her younger brother that much now? Do you still want to bring him back to life? The latter is actually not impossible as long as Liala is willing to be my woman.]
Bella who happened to have approached Eiji and Liala heard their conversation, she looked at Eiji with admiration.
Previously Bella herself was actually not sure how to persuade Liala to forget her younger brother. But Eiji has such a trick? As a person who had picked up many beautiful girls in the world before, how could she not see the trick Eiji was playing!
Bella certainly wanted to say something, but Eiji glanced at her and looked at her with a faint smile. Although Bella didn't want to admit she was momentarily dazed and her heartbeat became abnormal when that happened ― Bella knew she couldn't beat Eiji now and felt the man wouldn't hesitate to hurt her harder than ever if she bothered him in this situation.
Despite Bella's reluctance, the man's cruel gaze scared her and was actually a little excited?
...
Several kilometers away from Eiji's location, the battle was still going on.
In addition to being frightened, many demons were also actually amazed by the strength that Mio's group showed. Tsubaki unleashed numerous copies of her Mirror Alice citywide and fired at the hundreds of Heroic Spirits summoned by Chaos. If it was her before, she wouldn't have been able to go this far, but after exercising with Eiji yesterday ― there was a red tattoo hidden on her neck.
Akeno summoned numerous holy lightning bolts from the sky and easily destroyed dozens of Heroic Spirits in a single strike, she continued to do so as much as she could.
Maria transformed into her adult form, but unlike before, her physical strength and magic were stronger and she could do so indefinitely ― a single blow from her was enough to destroy a single Heroic Spirit.
Kurumi summoned many darkness spirits to blow up the Heroic Spirits scattered in the city, Zest also did the same with the hundreds of giant golems she summoned.
Yuki? She did not use her Sakuya sword, and replaced it with the Sword of Four Seasons ― making her hero outfit change into a tight blue aftermath wrapped in golden armor that covered her shoulders and legs ― this was a type of light armor. But compared to her previous armor, her powers are now in another league; especially her sword which now glows golden and easily cuts through all the Chaos tentacles capable of reaching half the city. In addition to the light attribute, her sword can also unleash other equally powerful attributes such as fire, ice and wind.
Rias and Sona too, both entered their combat modes. Rias with her PoD drill and Sona with her Water Dragon God spear had until now easily blasted Chaos many times over.
Basara was even stronger than the original work, at least at this point he could already materialize his armor. The Banishing Shift that he released was red in color.
Mio in her Demon Queen form was able to push Chaos back many times. Actually her group managed to defeat Chaos, especially with the leader of the Moderate Faction ― Ramusas who arrived at the scene and helped seal Chaos' movements with his gravity magic so that the others could attack the creature easily.
However, this Chaos is like an immortal being! Even when pushed into the zero dimension by Basara's Banishing Shift ― the creature was able to come out of there and show its current form that somehow resembled a black dragon with eleven heads that reached 70 meters tall!
The creature's power was getting stronger and the group had been pushed several times. The girls were fine because they had insurance like an automatic magic barrier that Eiji had somehow given them. In the past, Eiji had said something about this.
Even so―
"Pfft!" Basara was unlucky, his current form was still weighing on him.
Although Basara could still keep his consciousness from being replaced by the rampaging Brynhildr, blood began to gush from the gaps in his armor.
"Jin's son, you should not exert yourself."
The one who said that was Ramusas whose appearance was only slightly worse than Basara's because he was also injured from being almost hit by the black flame attack Chaos fired.
"No, Mio and the others are also still fighting. I can't stop here... I have to help them!"
A protagonist aura emanated from Basara, normally this would make people admire. But now? Ramusas just shook his head and focused on his gravity magic that tried to restrain Chaos' movement in the ruins that were originally a stadium.
Actually at this moment, he knew his territory, the city of Wildart was also being attacked by the Heroic Spirits summoned by Chaos. But he was worried about his daughter, Mio and helped her group on the grounds that Chaos should not be allowed out of Lundvall and should be stopped here and now.
In addition, according to Lucia who was exterminating the Heroic Spirit that attacked the city of Wildart with Sheila. There were also Jin Toujou helping and strangely some girls dressed in all black who were very strong according to Lucia.
Ramusas didn't know who those people were, but he was relieved and now he focused on Mio and the other girls fighting with Chaos. The power of those girls also actually surprised him.
But—
"Where's Eiji? At a time like this, he..."
Before his father-in-law could complain, the black clouds that had previously covered the center of the city suddenly blew away until all the people and Chaos were illuminated by the sun.
Everyone naturally raised their heads and was stunned. Above the sky, bigger than Chaos.
There was a gigantic figure with transparent armor and wings that shone with a reddish light. If people could look more clearly at the giant's head, they could see a person standing inside.

By the way, don't forget to throw power stones and leave a review to motivate me :)
Here I changed Laila's name to Liala. I originally used Laila because that was her name in the Crunchyroll version. But after I double-checked in the novel, it turned out that it was written Liala/Riara...
Before coming here with Susanoo, Eiji had finished his conversation with Liala. Love does make fools of people, but that doesn't mean some of them wouldn't feel disgusted if their loved ones were soiled by the same sex― cough, cough, poor Leohart. There was actually no hatred between them, but this was what happened.
"Wait! Eiji-kun, Onee-chan... Onee-chan has an offer for you!"
Liala got up and bit her lip. Her breasts that were no less big than Mio's swayed and looked almost out of her toga-like dress. Eiji who was about to leave turned around with an expressionless face at that moment.
"Offer? Don't tell me you still want me to revive Leohart? Tell me, what's in it for me? I'm not in the mood for charity."
Who had previously blabbed several times that he didn't mind helping her in his heart?
Liala thought Eiji was the best man to define a two-faced man, what he said in his heart was different from what he showed ― usually this was the type of man Liala disliked, but what could she do? Although what happened to Leohart before he died disgusted her and shook her love. Liala made up her mind, at least as long as Leohart could be revived, she would sacrifice herself.
Eiji was stronger than her and actually very handsome, he was at least dozens of times better than those disgusting old men in the Demon Council, especially Belphegor who wanted her body.
"Hey don't look at me like I'm the villain here, you're the one who wants to ask for my help."
"Fufu. You're not? Onii-chan~"
"...." Eiji froze, he looked at Liala in disbelief.
"How about it, if you agree... You will become my Onii-chan."
Liala obviously smiled falsely, Eiji shook his head and looked at the woman amusedly.
"No thanks. Do you think I have a fetish like that? I admit your voice sounded good when you said that, but it's not enough."
"Onii-chan, you're too greedy~"
"You're free to forget this."
"....."
Liala was dizzy, there were so many things she first felt from a man in one day. For example Eiji, he's a shameless man... Surprisingly she didn't hate him, didn't even feel disgusted. This feeling made Liala feel guilty towards Leohart.
Liala sighed.
"Okay, Onee-chan promised."
"Sorry, what did you promise?" Eiji pretended not to understand.
Liala's lips twitched, this guy obviously knew but pretended not to know, he even forced a woman to say such a thing! Liala glanced at Bella and wondered why she was silent? Wasn't she greedy for her too? She honestly expected the two to fight even though the outcome was obvious.
Bella noticed Liala's gaze, but she turned her gaze in another direction which left the blonde woman confused. Where was the shameless woman before? Why was she now so quiet and obedient like a kitten? Liala was also actually curious what kind of relationship Eiji and Bella had. The former also inexplicably called the latter the female protagonist.
In fact from everything she heard from the inner voice, Liala began to understand that from the perspective of these two people ― she seemed to be a novel character or something. Liala didn't really care about this, she just wanted Eiji to agree to help her.
In the end after Liala said it, although Eiji knew the woman was forced ― he believed that as long as he managed to straighten her out, it was not impossible to make Liala fall in love with him. From the start subtle tricks would indeed be ineffective to get Liala who was already a brocon, he had to be petty and pushy without seeming pushy.
Liala seemed to eat this set well.
Next up was Bella, Eiji began to wonder should he paralyze the female protagonist and force her to spew out all the plots she knew?
"Can I go? Eiji, I'm not looking for trouble with you. I didn't even interrupt you when you were picking up women!"
Bella just wanted to run, she felt that Eiji had just looked at her with a dangerous gaze. Although she was a little excited ― Bella didn't want to test what exactly Eiji wanted to do to her.
Liala still had to wait for Leohart to be revived, she couldn't protest to Eiji about this. Still, she glanced curiously at Bella who wanted to escape from Eiji.
Eiji showed a harmless smile at the female protagonist.
"So you really are Bella, your appearance is different from when we last met."
"Ah... Wait, my appearance!"
Bella seemed to have just remembered that Eiji had learned her true appearance for the first time. But why did he recognize it right away before? She swallowed and looked at Eiji nervously. There was actually no problem about this, it was just that she didn't know what Eiji wanted to do to her.
"No need to be afraid, I won't eat you. Actually I suddenly had an idea."
"Idea? What idea?" Bella thought of a bad premonition.
Eiji walked closer to Bella, he lowered his head because the woman's head was only at the level of his chin.
As expected... Long black hair, pale white skin, thin pink lips. Her figure was slender type with long legs that looked fragile but did not lack assets in the chest and ass.
Unlike the curvaceous and voluptuous Liala, the Devil God Bella's figure is actually not much different from Liala's but looks pure and untouched. Unfortunately women with looks this good are crooked from the inside. Serafall was an exception as she was now straight, the woman in front of him was different ― she didn't show it clearly now, but Eiji could see her small gaze on Liala which revealed a lot of her skin and flesh. He would have to ask Liala to wear clothes that covered more of her skin later. At least when she was in public.
¶{Host, you're possessive as usual.}
Not really... I won't mind if Liala doesn't wear anything if only in front of me.
¶{It's the same thing.}
Really?
Eiji was joking with Miss System, but on the surface, his eyes turned to Rinne Sharingan ― he wanted to test something whether the female protagonist was immune to genjutsu?
"What?! Eiji, you dare― Ah! Don't look, don't look!"
Bella hurriedly closed her eyes when she saw Eiji showing those eyes from this close range. She could slightly guess what that man wanted to do to her!
But Bella didn't know, it was too late for her to dodge. Just like Naruto who thought Itachi was incapable of using genjutsu on him as long as he didn't look him in the eye which eventually slapped him in the face. Bella's current situation was similar ― when she opened her eyes, she felt a little dizzy; but she felt there was nothing wrong with her mind.
She looked at Eiji whose eyes had returned to normal.
"What did you do to me?"
"What did I do? Bella, we're talking about what you put into Chaos."
"Huh?"
"You look confused. Are you okay?"
"I-I'm fine!"
Bella gasped and her face turned red as Eiji placed his hand on her forehead. If it was any other man, she would have felt so disgusted. It wasn't for no reason, Bella hated men for two lifetimes, no man had ever hurt her or anything like that ― it was just that from the beginning she always felt uncomfortable whenever a man touched her so she started to keep her distance from the opposite sex and this became a habit so she thought she hated men and liked women.
She was just sick and her illness seemed to have gotten better because she didn't feel any rejection when Eiji touched her.
The smile in Eiji's eyes was getting stronger, right now Bella didn't even know if what she was thinking was what she was really thinking or not. Sharingan is an eye that is able to affect a person's senses and memories so it has the ability to hypnotize a person just from a mere glance and for a limited period of time. However, the Rinne Sharingan is crazier, it has abilities that are hundreds of times more powerful than the regular Sharingan and its genjutsu is capable of affecting one's memory and psyche to a frightening degree and without any time limit.
Unless the target possesses Rinnegan, or Bijuu chakra, or thinks of an extremely high resistance to mental attacks ― it is almost impossible for them to escape the genjutsu that they are not even aware of.
The female protagonist Bella is no exception. She did not have the ability to resist his genjutsu.
Eiji was not too fond of using this ability to change one's will, he also only changed a few things in Bella's memory such as her Yuri tendencies.
Just because Bella was a troublesome woman, and killing her was tantamount to making Miss System's acquaintance possibly send another annoying protagonist ― this was the best way to deal with Bella quickly and easily.
If it were any other woman, as long as it didn't have the troublesome like Bella, Eiji wouldn't use this ability that actually resembled a hentai protagonist. Although he was often unscrupulous when dealing with his enemies, he also still had moral integrity to some extent.
¶{Host, sometimes I don't know if you're too soft or masochistic. You like to do things in a complicated and troublesome way.}
Calling your host like that is too harsh hey!
¶{That's why you're my host. Now let's finish this plot!}
"..."
Patience, okay? Like a good girl Bella divulged information about what exactly she was doing behind the scenes. For example, Chaos is on the rampage, she had previously implanted a shard of the soul of one of her pets that allowed the creature to mutate into an eleven-headed western dragon that she calls Lolita. Those were things from her previous world that she could use after recovering some of her power and her goal was to become a hero at the last moment.
"Isn't it normal for someone to show off in order to gain praise and admiration from others?"
Bella scratched her cheek in slight embarrassment. Eiji wasn't surprised, but Liala who had been watching their conversation from earlier was surprised and looked at Eiji in horror.
There was clearly something wrong with Bella who seemed to be becoming more obedient! That woman even leaked out her plan that could actually destroy the entire Demon Realm if she miscalculated.
And that's exactly what happened ― now Eiji was riding a Susanoo. One of the rare abilities that only the Mangekyou Sharingan normally possessed. However, Eiji's Rinne Sharingan also certainly had this ability.
At this moment, a 100 meter tall red and black Yoroi (traditional Japanese armor) coated humanoid figure that resembled a god-like Tengu had just descended from the sky. ―No, actually none of the gods Ramusas knew had this crazy ability. And the energy fluctuations Ramusas felt from the humanoid figure his future son-in-law was riding was the most terrifying thing he had ever felt.
This made the strongest Demon Lord, Wilbert who pretended to stand up and stare at Eiji's Susanoo in a daze.
"Eiji!"
"Eiji-kun!"
The girls, Mio and the others were happy to see the man's arrival. Basara too, he was relieved because with Eiji around ― he felt no need to exert himself anymore. The armor came off and the protagonist leaned against the rubble wall.
"I leave the rest to you, Eiji."
Chaos roared at Susanoo, he opened all his mouths and was about to shoot out a burst of fire.
However, Eiji moved faster. Actually unlike the Susanoo in the original work, although this thing was huge and its movement was not very fast ― Eiji could use it like an extension of his own body and with his physical strength and chakra; the 100 meter tall Susanoo moved as fast as a person.
*Slash!*
While landing on the ground that caused the earthquake and many people to stumble because of it, Susanoo took out a large katana from the scabbard located at his waist and cut off eleven Chaos heads in one fell swoop.
The red-black slash that was actually mixed with Reiatsu did not stop there ― it also slashed through the mountains in the Lundvall region and cut them in half.
Many demons stared at the scene in horror.
Too strong!
That was what everyone thought including Balflear who was watching from somewhere with a bitter smile.
"To think His Majesty would have fought that monster if not for Chaos suddenly appearing..."
"Still, where is His Majesty? He still hasn't returned."
When Balflear recalled this, he also had no idea where Leohart was. Of course ― as his aide, he knew Leohart's plan to kill the Demon Council while the game was in progress. Balflear already knew all the Council members watching in the VIP room had been killed in a gruesome manner.
Balflear thought Leohart had done it. The reason Leohart hadn't returned until now was because he was picking up his sister who was locked up at the Council headquarters.
But it had been quite a while since then and Leohart could not be contacted either.
Back to the battle.
Chaos, whose heads were all cut off, could still regenerate. The scene made many people despair.
On the other hand, Eiji was happy to see the big lizard not die immediately. Even after Susanoo slashed the creature into minced meat using her Chakra and Reiatsu slashes ― not only the flesh, the dragon's soul also regenerated.
[Rias: No way... Was Eiji also unable to defeat the dragon? Even after turning into a Gundam?!]
[Kuroka: Nyaa! What's going on, nyaa? Do you guys need help?]
[Asia: How do I go to the Demon Realm? I might be able to help Eiji-san and the others by giving them a buff! My staff can do it.]
[Lala √: Dragon? How strong is that dragon? Can it withstand Black-Hole-kun? I'll help Eiji~!]
[Sona: It's good to see you guys excited, and Lala; please don't use something scary like Black Hole... I'm afraid we'll be dragged into that hole too― Eiji hasn't lost yet!]
As Sona said, the fact was that Eiji was just having fun. The reason why he let Alpha and the other two press the button Mardonis had. It was nothing but stretching his body a little. After all, when else could he find a punching bag that lasted this long?
That dragon, Chaos. No, should he call it the Lolita fragment? Was one of Bella's subordinates in the previous world. The woman herself told him and the dragon's specialty was its durability. If it was Bella; since she was the master of that creature, she could defeat it by simply telling it to pretend to be dead.
That was what Bella had planned at first so she could show off in front of everyone.
Eiji didn't need to do that of course - because physical and soul-based attacks were pointless. He just needed to use...
The 100 meter tall Susanoo disappeared and all that was left was Eiji flying through the air. Many people panicked seeing this and thought Eiji had run out of strength to defend the previous giant.
But they were wrong.
Eiji extended one of his hands to Chaos and muttered.
"I'm having enough fun. But lizard, you're still too weak.... So let's end this."
"Vebzud."
A small black magic circle appeared in his hand - his wrist went inward as if trying to grab something.
For some reason, Chaos screamed as if he was in pain. The eleven-headed dragon seemed to panic and it was not long before his huge body had a glowing red crack. The cracks quickly spread throughout his body and–
*!!!*
Chaos broke into pieces. There was an object shining with purple light, that object belonged to the female protagonist. It was also destroyed under the spell 'Vebzud' that Eiji used.
This is one of Anos' Source Magic, magic that can touch a person's source and destroy it until the existence of that person or creature disappears as if it never existed at all. Anyone who died because their source was destroyed, they didn't even have a chance to be reincarnated or revived.
Unless the target has enough ability to avoid or block this magic, it is impossible for anyone to survive after their source is destroyed.
...
"Sorry for being late, are you guys alright?"
Eiji knew none of the girls were injured, they were just tired after fighting against one of the reinforced villain bosses. Still, he still needed to ask. Mio and the others crowded around him saying that they were fine.
Among them, Eiji glanced at Yuki who looked like a hero with her tight blue outfit and armor. To be honest Yuki looked even hotter in that outfit.
"Yuki, how is it? Did the sword help you?"
Yuki looked at Eiji with an unusual tenderness on her face that made Basara confused.
"Un, it helps me a lot. Without it I would have trouble protecting everyone while fighting. Thank you Eiji."
"Hey, it's okay. It was a girl's sword from the beginning and you are the most suitable to use it."
Yuki thought Eiji was just tsundere, he obviously deliberately gave this important thing to her and stubbornly said it was a trivial thing that made her heart feel sweet.
Suddenly, there was a deliberate coughing sound. Everyone turned their heads and saw Ramusas who was walking towards them.
"Ramusas-san, you're here too?"
"....." I've been here since before, Ramusas wanted to say this, but never mind.
"Eiji, can you use the same ability that you used back in Wildart city?"
"Oh, you mean my time magic. I can do it."
"Then please."
The destruction and casualties caused by the strengthened Chaos are greater than the original work. In the original work, their battle should have taken place in a separate dimension. Eiji hadn't thought about this before, but now... He immediately scanned the entire Lundvall with his magic and looked at Ramusas who was pleading with him.
"You don't need to beg me Ramusas-san. This hasn't happened long ago, I should also be able to revive the people who just died here."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Please do it."
Although Lundvall was not his territory, Ramusas was actually more concerned about the number of demons that died because of this incident. After all, they were still the people of the Demon Realm and it just so happened that his future son-in-law, Eiji was reliable in this regard.
In front of everyone, Eiji flicked his finger and the world seemed to flash with blue light and what happened next was a time reversal scene where all the destroyed buildings and people who died because of Chaos returned to the moment before the match started. Eiji excluded Chaos of course, the people from Demon Council and Leohart were the same.
While the girls were still admiring Eiji who still had that much power after the battle ended and Ramusas who was relieved to see many citizens of Lundvall cheering for their group― especially Eiji who was adored by the people who were supposed to be part of the Demon Lord Faction.
Many people from the Demon Lord Faction wondered where Demon Lord Leohart was when the city and its people were attacked. Honestly, they were disappointed and their hearts were more inclined towards the Moderate Faction that had helped them a lot. Not only did they repair their homes, they also revived their family members.
If the voting for the real Demon Lord candidate was done now, many of them would definitely support Mio or Eiji who were from the Moderate Faction. Ramusas weren't bad either, they didn't mind supporting Wilbert's older brother.
Above the walls of Lundvall Castle.
"That guy really has the ability to bring people back to life... He's not lying, but why didn't he revive Leo-kun at the same time?"
Liala pouted, obviously they had made a deal. But when exactly would Eiji keep his promise? Liala stomped her foot on the ground in annoyance.
"I think you should give him a down payment first. Otherwise, who knows if you'll turn your face around after your younger brother is revived."
"Huh? Onee-chan won't do that! Onee-chan's not the type to break her promise!"
"Who knows..."
Bella looked at Liala who was sulking like a little girl, even as her breasts bounced. She wasn't as excited as usual which confused her. Bella wondered what was wrong with her? No, isn't this normal?
And why was she here instead of running away? Bella wanted to, but the beautiful girls dressed all in black made her unable to do that.
Bella knew those girls were Eiji's subordinates and they were assigned to watch over her and Liala. They weren't weak either, fighting with them was the same as offending Eiji and making the man angry.
Don't know why, but Bella didn't have the courage to run away.
"Miss Liala, Miss Bella. My name is Alpha and the other two are Zeta and Epilson."
Alpha introduced herself and the other two and continued, "Eiji-sama asked you two to follow us and take part in the training."
"That guy wants Onee-chan to take part in training?"
"What training... Can I refuse?"
Liala and Bella looked at each other. The former never expected that she would share the same fate as the black-haired woman.
Alpha's previously rather friendly expression became cold. The blonde elf was clearly unhappy with the rejection of the two women in front of her.
Zeta and Epilson also looked at the two unfriendly as if they were offended.
The aura they exuded, especially Zeta's murderous intent was so cold it made Liala and Bella swallow.
"Are you sure you want to refuse? Then I'll report it to Eiji-sama."
"Forget Miss Bella. Miss Liala who wants Eiji-sama to revive her little brother... Are you worthy?"
"You're threatening Onee-chan?" Liala smiled with a dark aura around her.
Alpha was not afraid and nodded. "You can think of it that way. So what's your answer now?"
Eiji actually only asked Alpha to educate Liala and Bella because even though the latter had been given genjutsu. They were still a little twisted by nature, especially the former because she still thought of her younger brother.
Eiji left the matter to Alpha because he knew in the original work, Alpha was basically a mother in Shadow Garden who was good at educating troubled girls.
Alpha was happy to do it for Eiji, she would educate Liala and Bella so that they would not think of any man other than their master. It just so happened that the World Tree had grown so much, the time they spent there was different from in this world.
It wouldn't take long for Eiji to wait for Alpha to complete her task. Alpha was also very confident to educate the two women.
"..."
Liala and Bella had no idea what Eiji was planning to have an elven girl who looked younger than them train them. But unlike Liala, Bella could actually slightly guess what the purpose of this training was.
But...
She couldn't refuse - this feeling of humiliation was actually not bad.
...
One day has passed since the incident of the rise of the Demon God, Chaos. Upon investigation it turned out that it was not just that ― all members of the Demon Council including their leader, Belphegor were found dead. Not only that, the leader of the Demon Lord Faction, Leohart's whereabouts were also nowhere to be found which made Balflear anxious and for a while he had to try to handle the discontent of the people in the Demon Lord Faction because the leader was suspected to be dead!
Many of them defected to the Moderate Faction which gave Balflear a headache. With Luka who had also been revived by Eiji after the Chaos incident, Balflear was temporarily able to handle the internal matters of the Faction and attempted to summon Leohart's [Eight Demon Generals] back from exile.
For now they were waiting while resolving other issues although the new Demon Lord candidate had already been decided which Faction he would be from by a vote.
In Wilbert Castle, the throne room, Ramusas looked at Mio and her group. His voice was softer than usual. The man was clearly in a good mood because 90% of everyone in Demon Realm was now in favor of the Moderate Faction.
Those people happily wanted the Moderate Faction to lead Demon Realm. And with the absence of the Demon Council, there was no need to worry about those people making trouble.
"Mio, are you sure you want to refuse?"
Mio also looked at her uncle― more precisely her father who was still pretending and actually asking if she wanted to become the leader of the Moderate Faction and become the first Demon Queen to lead Demon Realm in history? Mio shook her head.
"No, I've already decided to continue living in the human world with Eiji and the others after this."
"Leading the Moderate Faction or leading the Demon Realm... I'm too young for that, I'll leave that to you... Uncle."
Ramusas took a breath. "I understand. You are free to refuse of course."
The old man looked regretful, not because of Mio's refusal as he had expected her refusal. But what made Ramusas regretful was the way Mio called him.
Although Ramusas knew he could have told Mio that he was her father and he vaguely felt Mio already knew he was actually Wilbert ― Ramusas convinced himself that it was better this way considering he was not really a good father to the girl.
Mio was silent, she didn't hate her father. However she didn't like him much either after what she went through before she met Eiji. Their relationship seemed destined to be awkward and not very good like a typical father and daughter.
Sheila who was watching with Lucia and Noel from the side sighed. In terms of emotions, Wilbert sucked as usual and that was why he broke up with her in the past.
[If this was in the original work, Ramusas wouldn't have bothered to ask Mio if she wanted to inherit Wilbert's robes and become the leader of the Demon Realm after the Chaos incident. But now? Mio has shown that her power is stronger than his and more people support the Moderate Faction―]
[Demon Realm became more of a peaceful place because the Demon Council was wiped out and the Demon Lord Faction lost Leohart. With all this, I wonder if Mio's aunt, and Basara's mother, Sapphire will show up?]
The serious atmosphere in the room was shattered...
All the women except Noel glanced at Eiji who on the surface seemed to be a good audience. Eiji ignored their gazes and pretended not to know.
"Eiji, what about you, are you interested in becoming a Demon Lord?"
