A silver-haired, sky-blue-eyed, tall, and very handsome man, with long white pants and a simple black T-shirt that hardly hid his muscles neither too big nor small appeared.
Except for Diodora, his peerage, and the people from the Khaos Brigade. Everyone there knew it was Eiji!
However, walking while holding his hand, was a beautiful blonde-haired woman who was none other than one of the Four Great Seraphs, the Gabriel that Michael had been searching for.
Not only that, behind Eiji were Gasper, Koneko, Yuuto, and all of Sona's peerage who had previously had trouble dealing with the people from the Khaos Brigade who had also attacked them while on guard outside the conference room.
Putting the latter aside. Rias and Sona were glad that the rest of their peerage members were fine and seemed to have been helped by Eiji somehow. Rias was especially relieved that Gasper who was previously kidnapped had also now been rescued by Eiji, it made her look at the silver-haired man with a look of love.
As expected from my fiancé!
It's just that...
What's the situation? The woman who was hugging Eiji, they knew it was Gabriel who had recently also attended the Peace Treaty Conference, but since when had the relationship between that woman and Eiji developed to this extent?!
The Great Seraph, Gabriel looked like a small child with an adult body who hugged Eiji's arm and rubbed her cheek against his arm very spoiledly.
Rias, Sona, and all the heroine who were there.
Their lips were all twitching. They looked at Eiji as if asking how can you pick up a woman this quickly?
[What's with your stares? Hey I swear! I didn't even seduce Gabriel, it was the woman who suddenly took the initiative to throw herself at me the first time we met!]
[Actually because I was worried, before Rias called, I had already come here. It's just that at that time you guys had already been transported to another dimension by Diodora.]
[I could have helped you guys right away, but people like Gasper, Koneko, Yuuto and Sona's peerages also had problems back then. Because they were close, I helped them first.]
Upon hearing this.
Rias and Sona nodded, so it was like that.
But still, what Gabriel said next took everyone by surprise.
"No... You're warm like Father. Please let me hold you longer, I miss you, Father." Gabriel said with her big light blue eyes that looked watery.
"Father?!"
"Gabriel, what are you saying?"
"Eiji, how?"
"Ara ara, Eiji, you became a father?"
The girls were very noisy, and Michael in confusion hurriedly approached Gabriel who hugged his arm while emphasizing her large breasts.
Eiji enjoyed this feeling, Gabriel's breasts were amazing, it was just that what Gabriel said made him smile helplessly.
This woman, Gabriel, is one of the heroine in the original work. Unlike the people who were thrown by Diodora into the small dimension back then. When Gasper was forced to stop time, Gabriel reacted very quickly, she opened her 12 angel wings on her back and flew to avoid the hole created under her feet.
Worthy of being the strongest and most beautiful woman in Heaven even though she had a naive and innocent personality like Lala who had just come to earth for the first time but was a little worse than that in personality.
In short, after successfully avoiding the trap the enemy set, she inexplicably flew towards him and hugged him as if she could see him from the start. Anos's spell to hide his presence instantly broke down at that moment and he was exposed by Gabriel.
And that's when Gabriel first called him father by saying "I found you, Father."
Who are you calling father?!
This woman was unexpected, even he was caught off guard when he first heard it and didn't know why Gabriel could find him and call him father.
The father Gabriel was referring to was obviously the God of the Bible who created the Four Great Seraphs including Gabriel and the leader of the Angel Faction before he died in the Great War.
And it was definitely not him!
This woman somehow called him her father which he couldn't understand.
He could have asked questions and tried to remember something back then, but he chose to save Gasper, Koneko and the others first while dragging Gabriel who was reluctant to let go.
That was what happened before he was here.
"Don't listen to her, I don't know why Gabriel called me that either." Eiji said to everyone, people hesitated except for the heroines who could hear his inner voice.
And Gabriel, she smiled a little.
"Gabriel, I think it's time you let go of Eiji-kun." Michael who had been ignored smiled wryly and looked at Eiji kindly.
This young man... So this is Eiji Seiya? After observing him properly, he widened his eyes as he felt Holy Power...! There was a large amount of Holy Power that he felt in that young man's body!
As an angel, especially a Great Seraph, he was naturally very sensitive in sensing Holy Power even if it was well hidden.
From the amount, it exceeded himself and he remembered that Holy Power of this magnitude was only equivalent to that of his father, the God of the Bible!
At first he was confused as to why Gabriel called Eiji Father, but after learning this...
He had a guess in his heart.
"Michael, but..." Gabriel was reluctant, but she wasn't stupid either, she knew at this point she really had to let go of Eiji because the man had other important things to do.
She let go of his hand and stood beside Michael.
Feeling that the warmth and tenderness that pressed his hand before was gone, Eiji sighed. People assumed he was relieved, but only Miss System knew that her host felt a little sad that Gabriel had stopped hugging him.
¶{...Host, please be serious}
'Is that necessary?
Staring at Diodora who was only 15 meters away from him, the two looked at each other with a probing gaze.
But Eiji didn't just glance at him, he also glanced at Grayfia who looked very sad and colder than usual. The woman looked at Diodora with killing intent and stared at him as if seeing hope.
Oh? Did Diodora make it? Although Eiji had been present from the beginning, he didn't know the things that happened in the small dimension created by Diodora.
Seeing everyone like Michael, Baraqil who looked at him complicatedly, and Vali who secretly harbored hatred for him. Everyone was present except Sirzechs whose figure was completely invisible here.
The meaning was clear, Eiji immediately guessed that Diodora had managed to kill Sirzechs and that was why this time. Not only Grayfia, even Rias, and Serafall had ugly expressions and were looking at Diodora with killing intent in their eyes.
However, due to the aura emanating from Diodora who was now stronger than Sirzechs, they knew the difference in power between them and were impulsive to attack recklessly.
And actually from the moment Rias called him, he knew the girls were asking for his help to defeat Diodora.
"Eiji! Please, can you kill Diodora? He killed Sirzechs!" Grayfia approached him, grabbing his hand with both of hers, she was still saddened by her husband's death. Although Sirzechs had often disappointed her lately, she was of course devastated that he had died at Diodora's hands because he was her husband after all.
There was a sense of loss in her heart, even though she had also betrayed Sirzechs for secretly having an affair with Eiji back then.
The silver-haired woman in the sexy maid uniform stared at Eiji with her redder red eyes, she wasn't crying, but anyone could see the sadness and hatred as she called Diodora's name.
If not for her strongest attack and everyone's previous attacks also failing to kill Diodora, she would still attack.
But now? She wasn't confident she could defeat Diodora, and even though she wasn't afraid of fighting to the death. But seeing Rias calling out to Eiji, she felt it was better to ask Eiji for help to avenge her husband's death.
"Eiji! What Grayfia said is right. Onii-sama, he..." Rias bit her lip and tried to act strong so as not to cry. Her black armor and drill were long gone and now she was wearing her school uniform even though it was Sunday.
By the way Sona and all the members of their peerage were also wearing school uniforms.
"I see. Don't worry, I'll make the person who killed my brother-in-law pay."
Eiji shamelessly called Sirzechs his brother-in-law while patting the head of Rias who was standing beside him, the girl seemed moved by what he said.
Grayfia too, squeezed his hand harder and Serafall who stood not far from them looked envious. The Magical Girl seemed to want to say something to Eiji, but she hesitated because it had been a long time since they met and what she wanted in this situation had actually been conveyed by Grayfia and Rias.
And was it just her or was Eiji deliberately not paying attention to her even though she wasn't far from him? She remembered the bet she made with that man. Although she always made excuses like busying herself with her work to avoid him, she thought when they met again he would at least pay attention to her.
But what was with this feeling of neglect? Serafall felt very uncomfortable and she was jealous to see Eiji paying attention to Grayfia and Rias in front of her eyes while ignoring her.
She wanted to say something like her usual cheerful style, but the death of her best friend put her in no mood to do so in this situation.
After finishing with Grayfia and Rias, Eiji walked closer to Diodora.
This time the two were only 10 meters apart.
"Are you done?" Diodora smiled faintly with the momentum increasing little by little. At this stage, everyone except Diodora and Eiji had already retreated further away from the two. The people from the Khaos Brigade too, those who were still left tried to escape, but unfortunately they were shot to death by Rias and the others.
Diodora didn't care about the people who could be said to be his current teammates. Except for his peerages, the others could die.
And whoever the man in front of him is, he seems to be the protagonist in this world because he has a very good relationship with the main heroine like Rias and the other heroines.
He didn't know what about Issei, but looking at the man in front of him also seemed to be no worse than a protagonist.
He looked at the other party greedily. Because if what his system said was true that the man in front of him was very strong. If he managed to devour him, wouldn't his power increase exponentially?
Unconsciously Diodora licked his lips slightly which made Eiji say in disgust. "You're Diodora Astaroth?"
"Yes, I'm Diodora Astaroth. You're called Eiji, right?"
Eiji nodded expressionlessly. "You're quite strong... But too bad... Don't look at me with that kind of gaze, it's disgusting."
"Disgusting?" Diodora raised his eyebrows, he seemed displeased by the other party's dismissive tone and looked coldly at the silver-haired man in front of him.
This protagonist was more arrogant and mocking than Issei's protagonist in the original work.
The red and black aura that was actually a combination Power of Destruction, and Devouring Power of the system swirled around him, releasing a stronger oppression.
He wanted to make the man in front of his kneel!
Yet the man did not budge at all under his oppression and looked at him with a playful gaze.
"I said you were disgusting. The way you look at me like I'm your prey and even lick your lips. Seriously, stop doing that."
"Also... Aren't you overconfident? Just because you were able to kill Sirzechs, you think you can beat me too? That's funny." Eiji looked at Diodora with an amused smile.
"Oh? You're overconfident yourself, right? You don't know with my power, I can defeat you even though you're stronger than me." Diodora's lips twitched, the man in front of him was so annoying and he couldn't help bragging to himself.
He was so confident in his devouring ability! Actually if the previous plan of killing Sirzechs failed, he was not afraid of using other plans such as fighting with the crimson-haired man and he was confident he could defeat him.
It was just that the other party was so gullible with things about his sister and he managed to kill him easily.
Pointing at Rias, Sona and the others in the distance, Eiji confidently said.
"My girls are watching, there's no way I'm losing."
"I will win."
This confidence....
This guy is really overconfident!
Even though you're the protagonist of the harem, I'm a system user! You don't know how deceitful my abilities are!
Unfortunately Diodora didn't know Eiji was also a system user like him, and the reason Eiji was so confident was because of the numbers "100/100/76" on his system interface.
Before Diodora could argue, Eiji's figure disappeared, and in less than a second, an extremely fast locomotive kick appeared in front of his face. Diodora was not very good at physical combat. Since transmigrating, he had focused on honing his magic skills. As a person who came from the modern world without magic in his previous life, knowing he transmigrated as a devil in this world, he naturally preferred practicing magic over martial arts.
And people like Rias, Grayfia, Serafall, Michael and the others he previously fought against even only used magic to attack him. Basically fighting like a witch from a distance, oh there was Rias attacking him from close range, but that wasn't martial arts and he could still act to parry the girl's attacks.
But this guy doesn't play like most people in this world!
As such, he was a little late in reacting.
Even so wasn't it just a kick? Right now he was enveloped in the aura of the power of destruction that could destroy anything and the power of devouring that also served to devour damage, so it shouldn't be...
"Bang!"
Diodora's head and body were thrown like cannonballs to the side, crashing into the conference building, and continuing to crash into other buildings. The so-called conference building was actually a replica of Kuoh Academy whose interior had been modified and reinforced many times with magic.
However, Diodora's body that was thrown by Eiji's kick was enough to destroy those buildings. Even when Diodora finally crashed into the barrier that was two kilometers away from where he was standing before, the barrier had a spider web-like crack like it was about to break before restoring itself automatically.
"Although it's only a fraction of my physical power. The barrier in this place is quite strong, who made it?"
Eiji muttered while enjoying the admiring gazes of the heroines watching in the distance.
Michael blinked his eyes in surprise. "This physical power... I bet it's stronger than the Dragon King, right? Are you sure Eiji is human? No, with that much Holy Power, he also seems to be neither angel nor human."
"Does it matter? Why don't we help?" Despite his suspicion of Eiji, Vali felt uncomfortable seeing someone fight with a common enemy but he just stood still. He had disabled his Juggernaut Drive mode for almost half an hour and he could still fight again now.
Michael glanced at this generation's White Dragon Emperor, he shook his head and said. "It's best not to interfere with their fight. At their level, unless we are comparable to them, we will only be a burden to Eiji-kun."
In fact, the impact of Diodora's previous battle would have been devastating if not for the special barrier created by Azuka Beelzebub and Falbium Asmodeus with their intelligence and power.
Any damage done inside this barrier is said to be reduced by 70% except to living creatures. Diodora was able to destroy the ground and trees within a radius of hundreds of meters just with the release of his aura, and Eiji was able to destroy buildings lined up for two kilometers just with his kicks.
Neither of them were easy.
Except for his father, the God of the Bible. Michael who was the current leader of the Angel faction shamelessly admitted that he was not as good as the youngsters who were fighting before his eyes.
Vali was silent, he was still reluctant, but Albion also said the same thing mentally to him and told him not to interfere.
Vali just reluctantly remained seated in the audience at that time.
The others were silent, they agreed with what Michael said and watched the fight from a distance.
"Cough, cough... Damn it!"
Coming out of the ruins of the building, Diodora coughed up blood several times, feeling his back hurt and the side of his face also turning blue after receiving the kick earlier.
But with the Phenex Clan's Devil ability, he also naturally had their super regeneration ability and all his wounds were healed within seconds.
"Diodora-sama, are you alright?!"
Claudia contacted him remotely using communication magic, Diodora was not in the mood right now, he was staring at Eiji who looked small in the distance coldly.
This humiliation... This was the first time he felt what it was like to have someone kick him in the face after transmigrating.
Telling Claudia to be quiet, Diodora flew off with 14 demon wings mixed with fire behind his back. He made a huge red-orange magic circle in the sky and shot out a giant fireball of red mixed with black.
This was a combination of Power of Destruction and Hellfire!
"Let's see, are you able to withstand this attack? Don't be arrogant just because your physical power is so strong! I can burn you to ashes!"
"With this fire, even if you are dead, unless I want it. This fire will never go out!"
[Why is the description of this fire somewhat similar to the fire in other franchises? This Diodora is definitely not the same Diodora as in the original work. He must be a transmigrator who took over Diodora's body with a cheat that made him this powerful.]
"Transmigrator?!"
"Now that makes sense. No wonder Diodora can be that strong..."
"Whereas a month ago I remember he wasn't that strong when he fought in the Rating Game."
The heroines were shocked, as they realized that Diodora was so strong that he could even kill Sirzechs by himself.
The heroines did not know the process of how Diodora defeated Sirzechs. If they knew, they would be speechless because Sirzechs was defeated with such a small trick!
They looked up at the sky.
A fireball larger than the ice meteor Grayfia had thrown earlier descended from the sky like a small falling sun.
Even from a great distance, Rias and the others could feel the hot air from that small sun.
From this it could be seen that Diodora still hadn't used all his power, while fighting with them he was still holding back and he only seemed to be getting serious now.
Although the girls believed in Eiji's power, what they saw at this moment couldn't help but make them worried!
After all, not only were they horrified by the attack Diodora threw, but they were also horrified to see Eiji just standing still when the attack was about to hit him.
"Eiji, what are you doing? You have to dodge!"
Rias panicked, she shouted and even used communication magic to contact Eiji while doing so.
But Eiji remained silent, he smiled slightly as the attack actually hit him.
Boom!!
