Great Red's brief appearance, though fleeting, had sent ripples of shock and awe throughout the supernatural world.
Every powerful being within the Three Factions sensed the True Dragon's immense aura. They looked towards the Dimensional Gap, their expressions filled with confusion and wonder.
None of them understood why Great Red had suddenly appeared.
Vali Lucifer, sensing the disturbance, immediately teleported to Badr's home, seeking answers from Ophis.
But the moment he arrived, he sensed something… different about Badr. His aura, usually masked by his Absolute Control, was now completely absent. It was as if he didn't exist.
"Your aura…" Vali began, his voice laced with surprise.
"He's broken through. He's reached… another level," Ophis explained, her gaze fixed on Badr as if he were some kind of enigma.
"Transcendence?" Vali murmured, the word hanging heavy in the air.
Badr simply smiled, waving his hand dismissively. "Something like that. Just a… new trick, nothing special."
He feigned nonchalance, but Vali and Ophis understood. While Badr's power level was still within the Ultimate-Class range, his mastery of the Power of Transcendence had granted him abilities that defied the laws of their world.
He was no longer bound by the rules of their reality.
"I thought you wouldn't grasp this power until you became a Transcendent Being…" Vali said, his voice tinged with awe and a hint of… fear. He'd considered Badr a rival, but now… he realized he wasn't even close to being on the same level.
Badr was about to speak when his eyes narrowed.
"Someone's there."
His words startled everyone, even Ophis. Weakened by Samael's attack, hadn't sensed the hidden presence.
As they watched, a silver-haired man materialized in the sky above them.
Vali, recognizing the newcomer, erupted in a surge of unrestrained rage.
The intensity of his killing intent drew the man's attention. He looked down, his gaze locking onto Vali.
"Well, well… Vali. My dear grandson. Such a hostile welcome. You wound me."
"Rizevim!" Vali snarled, his voice dripping with venom.
Rias and the others exchanged confused glances. 'This man… is Vali's grandfather?'
"What are you doing here?" Vali demanded, his voice cold, his body tense. He looked ready to kill.
"I sensed Great Red's presence and came to investigate," Rizevim replied casually, his gaze sweeping over the group. He spotted Ophis, a flicker of annoyance crossing his face. "And you're here, too. A shame about what Cao Cao did to you. Such a waste."
"You want to kill me, too?" Ophis asked, sensing the malice in his gaze.
"Kill you? No. I had plans for you. But now… you're of little use to me."
"You used my power to create a new body," Ophis stated simply, her voice devoid of emotion.
"Indeed. And I must thank you for that," Rizevim chuckled, his eyes gleaming with a predatory interest. Then, his gaze fell on Badr, his expression shifting.
"You… there's something… familiar about you…"
Badr's eyes narrowed. He'd become undetectable after his breakthrough, yet this Rizevim could sense… something.
"I remember now…" Rizevim's voice was filled with surprise. "You carry the aura of… another world."
"Another world…?" Rias gasped, her eyes wide with disbelief. "Is he telling the truth? Do other worlds really exist?"
"Of course they exist," Rizevim replied, glancing at Rias with amusement. "Just a few months ago, we finally confirmed their existence."
His face lit up with excitement. "In fact, under my leadership, the Khaos Brigade's new goal is to conquer them!"
"You're Delusional," Ophis said flatly.
"Delusional? Perhaps. It's a difficult goal, I admit. This world is protected by a powerful dragon—Great Red."
"So, you're here for Great Red?" Badr asked, his voice calm.
"Precisely! I want to defeat it and explore these other worlds!" Rizevim's excitement was palpable. He paused, shaking his head. "Unfortunately, Cao Cao ruined Ophis. That fool… Now, I'll have to find another way…"
He turned his attention back to Badr, a predatory smile spreading across his face.
"Young man… your power… it's connected to these other worlds, isn't it? I sensed the power of a new god from one of them. Your power… it feels similar."
"That's none of your concern," Badr replied, his voice indifferent.
"Interesting. I suggest you cooperate, boy. Otherwise… things will become unpleasant." Rizevim's eyes gleamed with malice.
Badr simply smiled. "You can try."
Rizevim scoffed. This boy held secrets he wanted to uncover. He raised his hand, unleashing a wave of demonic power.
Before Badr could react, Vali, unable to contain his rage any longer, launched his attack.
He activated his [Balance Breaker, transforming into a blur of white light as he charged towards Rizevim.
But as he neared his target, Vali's attack dissipated, as if it had never existed.
"Vali, stop! You're no match for him! He has Sacred Gear Canceler," Ophis warned, her voice calm.
Sacred Gear Canceler…
Badr's eyes narrowed. He abandoned the idea of using his King Sword.
"Get down here," he commanded, his voice laced with power.
( Basically—Banshō Ten'in - Universal Pull )
As if compelled by an unseen force, Rizevim felt the energy of the world turn against him, pulling him down towards the earth.
Badr walked towards him calmly. While his Sacred Gear was useless, he still had the Power of Transcendence.
Rizevim, caught completely off guard, found himself slammed into the earth, creating a large crater upon impact.
Badr shook his head, a hint of annoyance in his voice. "Now I have to fix the yard again."
He glanced at Ophis. Ever since she'd moved in, trouble seemed to follow, and his house had suffered the consequences.
Rizevim pushed himself up, staring at Badr in disbelief.
"Impressive… That wasn't a Sacred Gear ability, was it?"
He grinned, a predatory gleam in his eyes. He seemed… excited.
Rias and the others, who had been worried, breathed a collective sigh of relief.
They knew of Rizevim. He was an Old Maou, his true name Rizevim Livan Lucifer, the son of the Original Lucifer and Lilith, the Mother of Devils.
As a Super Devil, his power was immense, a threat even Sirzechs took seriously. All of Sirzechs' servants were specifically chosen for their lack of Sacred Gears, a strategy designed to counter Rizevim's Sacred Gear Canceller.
Rias had been prepared to call for her brother's help, but Badr had handled the situation with surprising ease.
This was a true Transcendent Super Devil Being.
Rias and her peerage were stunned. Badr could now face a Super Devil on equal footing. It seemed impossible.
Rizevim, unfazed, launched another attack, a wave of demonic power so potent it nearly forced them to their knees.
Badr smiled faintly. "Your Sacred Gear Canceller only works on powers directed at you."
He activated [King Sword's] amplification, his own demonic power surging.
Rizevim's ability wasn't absolute, it seemed.
Channeling the [Power of Transcendence, Badr extended his Absolute Control, the world around him coming into sharp focus.
Within this domain of awareness, he was the master, his gaze fixed on Rizevim.
Rizevim felt a chill run down his spine, a premonition of… death.
Could he be killed by this boy?
Impossible!
But the primal instinct for survival screamed within him.
He instinctively tried to open a dimensional rift, to escape.
But Badr spoke a single word: "Seal."
A familiar power emanated from him, and Rias and the others realized, with a start, that he was using… the power of the Demon Sealing Stamp!
He hadn't summoned a familiar. He was using the ability himself!
And just like that, Rizevim's power was sealed.
This was something the Demon Sealing Stamp, on its own, couldn't have achieved. The difference in their power was too vast. Yet, somehow, Badr had done it.
"Transcendence… such overwhelming power…" Vali murmured, his voice laced with awe and a hint of fear.
Badr's strength was now beyond reason, his abilities seemingly Limitless, thanks to the [Power of Transcendence].
Rizevim, his power sealed, was engulfed by Badr's aura.
His expression froze…
And then, he was gone, reduced to ash, as if he'd never existed.
Vali and the others stared in stunned silence.
Completely and utterly annihilated...
Rizevim, a Super Devil Being, had been killed…
With Effortless Ease...
"Amazing…" Kuroka's eyes gleamed with admiration. This was the man she'd chosen. She'd believed in his potential, his destiny to become a powerful being. But she hadn't expected it to happen so soon.
This changed everything.
Rizevim had been the leader of the Khaos Brigade, a threat that even the Maou feared. And now, he was dead.
With Rizevim gone, there would be no one left to oppose the peace treaty between the Three Factions.
"Come on, Badr, let's go to the Underworld!" Rias, her voice filled with excitement, grabbed his hand, eager to share the news.
"Now?" Badr blinked, his tone casual, as if he hadn't just single-handedly eliminated one of the greatest threats to their world. "We have school tomorrow."
His nonchalant attitude left Rias speechless.
"This is a big deal!" she insisted. "And you deserve the recognition. I won't let you be overlooked."
Rias, her mind made up, pulled him towards the magic circle.
Badr, with a resigned sigh, followed.
...
In the Underworld
News of Rizevim's death reached Sirzechs. Even he was stunned into silence for a moment.
The news spread like wildfire, sending shockwaves through the Underworld.
"That boy… he killed a Super Devil Being?"
"He's… a monster… How are we supposed to compete with that?" The younger generation of devils lamented, feeling the weight of Badr's shadow looming over them.
Back at the Gremory castle, Rias turned to her brother, her voice firm. "Brother, about Badr's reward…"
"I haven't forgotten," Sirzechs replied, a wry smile on his face. "But this… this is beyond anything we could have anticipated. I'm not sure what we can offer him."
"It doesn't matter," Badr said with a shrug. Material possessions held little meaning for him now. With his newfound power, such things were easily acquired, transient and insignificant.
"Still, some things must be acknowledged. It seems we'll have to make another exception for you, Badr. Once everything is settled, we'll begin preparations for your coronation."
"Coronation?" Rias gasped.
"Me? But I'm not even an Ultimate-Class Devil yet…" Badr was speechless. His power had grown so rapidly, he'd only recently taken the Mid-Class Devil exam.
Sirzechs chuckled. "A valid point, but your current power… it qualifies you to become a Maou. And the Underworld needs your strength. It will… strengthen our position in the upcoming negotiations."
Rias's eyes lit up. "That's right! Badr, you should become the fifth Maou!"
Badr's qualifications for becoming a Maou were undeniable, and the Four Great Satans, in agreement, expedited the process.
And so, it was decided. Badr would become a Maou.
For weeks. the news spread throughout the Three Factions. Rias and the others were ecstatic, barely able to sleep from the excitement.
Badr, however, remained calm, the upcoming ceremony failing to rouse him.
He was more interested in other worlds.
All signs pointed to the existence of individuals from his original world within this one. Somehow, like him, powerful beings had crossed over, arriving in this new reality.
And there wasn't just one other world. There was his own original world, the world where the [King Sword] originated, and many more…
Badr realized he already possessed the ability to travel to these other worlds. 'He hesitated to tell Rias and the others.'
He planned to take his entire harem on a multiversal tour eventually.
...
...
The day of the coronation finally arrived. Rias and the others woke him early, dressing him in formal attire for the ceremony.
The event was broadcast throughout the Underworld and Heaven, though the human world remained oblivious to the existence of devils and angels.
The Underworld rejoiced, celebrating the rise of their new Maou. The leaders of both Heaven and the Fallen Angels attended the ceremony, and even Odin, from the Norse pantheon, made an appearance.
Ophis, accompanied by Vali and his team, was also present. They were no longer enemies.
The Khaos Brigade had effectively disbanded.
The coronation proceeded smoothly, without interruption. After all, this gathering represented the Most Powerful Beings in the Three Factions, a collection of influential leaders and formidable warriors.
Rias and her peerage, dressed in their finest attire, watched proudly. Badr saw many familiar faces in the crowd—Sona Sitri, Sairaorg Bael, and others.
To his surprise, he even saw Ravel Phenex, accompanied by her older brother, Riser.
"Lord Badr." Ravel approached him with a cheerful smile.
"It's been a while, Ravel," Badr replied, returning her smile. He hadn't forgotten her kindness in giving him a Phoenix Tear, though he hadn't needed to use it.
He turned to Riser, nodding politely. "Riser."
"It's… good to see you," Riser replied, a hint of awkwardness in his voice. Badr's presence still evoked unpleasant memories of his defeat, a lingering shadow of humiliation.
But now that Badr was about to become a Maou, Riser felt a strange sense of… relief.
After all, losing to someone as monstrously powerful as Badr was… understandable, even forgivable.
A beautiful woman, dressed elegantly, approached Badr and curtsied.
"Congratulations, Lord Badr."
"And you are?"
"We haven't met. I'm Ravel and Riser's mother."
Badr looked at her, noting her youthful appearance. It seemed maintaining a youthful visage was a common practice among high-ranking devils. Rias's mother did the same.
Ravel's surprise was evident.
"Mother? You're here, too?"
"If I weren't, you would have made a fool of yourself, wouldn't you?"
Ravel was speechless.
"What's going on?" Badr asked, sensing the tension.
Ravel's mother smiled. "Lord Badr, you're not only becoming a Maou today, but also establishing your own peerage, correct? I understand you haven't chosen all your servants yet. Ravel was planning to… volunteer. I couldn't allow my daughter to be so presumptuous."
Ravel's face fell. Badr's status had changed. He was about to become a Maou.
Badr chuckled, turning to Ravel. "So, you were planning to ask to join my peerage?"
"Yes… I thought that since we'd… met…" Ravel's voice trailed off, her earlier enthusiasm replaced by embarrassment. She hadn't anticipated his rapid rise in power. Her usual boldness had failed her. Now, he was beyond her reach.
Badr, however, remembered Ravel's kindness. She'd given him a valuable gift, a Phoenix Tear, when he was still a new arrival in the Underworld. He valued that gesture.
"If you're still interested… you can join my peerage. I do need a [Bishop," he offered.
"Really? Thank you!" Ravel's face lit up, her excitement returning as her mother smiled knowingly.
'She'd hoped for this outcome'. While Ravel was too shy to ask directly, she'd hoped Badr would extend the invitation.
And just like that, before he'd even received his Evil Pieces, Badr had already given one away.
...
The Four Great Satans gave their speeches, and the coronation ceremony concluded, broadcast throughout the Three Factions.
Sirzechs presented Badr with a set of exquisitely crafted Evil Pieces.
"From this day forward, you are a King." Sirzechs said, embedding the King Piece into Badr's body.
Badr was now officially a King.
Ravel's mother approached, offering a trade. Ravel for a [Bishop] piece.
Badr looked at the Evil Pieces, a smile playing on his lips. 'Now, he could bring Mai and the others into his peerage.'
He told Rias and the others of his plans. They smiled knowingly. "Bringing your human girlfriends into the fold?"
"I'll be back soon," he said, stepping into a magic circle and teleporting back to the human world.
...
...
He called each of them, explaining the situation.
They had already discussed the possibility of becoming devils, and their agreement was unanimous.
Badr formed contracts with each of them, reincarnating them as his [Pawns].
The Nakano quintuplets, Mai Sakurajima, Nodoka Toyohama, and Yor—eight in total, filling all his [Pawn] slots.
He designated Kuroka as his [Rook].
And Ravel as his [Bishop]
He now had ten servants. The remaining pieces could wait.
...
..
That night, he brought them all to the Underworld, introducing them to his Devil Harem.
He'd expected chaos, but to his surprise, the meeting was… harmonious.
Everyone got along.
Rias and her peerage were already devils, and Mai and the others had long since accepted the reality of the supernatural.
Badr smiled. 'A happy life awaited him.'
He looked up at the sky, his senses now so acute that he could perceive the boundaries between worlds.
With his mastery of the [Power of Transcendence, he had become a being beyond the limitations of this world. Nothing could stop him now.
Perhaps, one day, he would take his harem on a journey to other worlds, or even back to his original one…
...
The End.
