ps: Thank you to the classmates of "Burning 583" for voting for your precious monthly votes! After some bickering, Grayfia revealed the final solution jointly agreed upon by Sirzechs, the Gremory family, and the Phoenix family¡ªthat is, a ranking game. It is a way to solve problems between demons with noble titles through battles among their relatives. After all, every pure-blood and high-level demon is precious, and apart from rank, bloodline, identity, and status, what demons identify most with is strength. Whoever is stronger will listen to whoever. But in that case, casualties will inevitably occur. This is inconsistent with the unifying trend of the demon world that pure-blooded demons are precious and need to be preserved as much as possible during non-war times. Therefore, ranked games can solve the problem. , and a battle between subordinates who can prove their own strength without harming the life of the pure-blooded demon as the master arises. After all, to a certain extent, power and personnel potential are also manifestations of a person's strength. Although the latter refers more to the future. "That is to say, my father and others have already thought about what to do if I refuse, and they have already decided to use games to decide this engagement, right? How much does he want to interfere with my lifestyle!" After listening to Gurefia's words, Rias sighed helplessly and helplessly. His expression looked quite irritable, and even murderous intent appeared. "Then the eldest lady is going to refuse the game?" Gulefiya was unmoved and asked directly. This level of murderous aura was far from the murderous aura emitted by the enemies she encountered during the demonic civil war a hundred years ago. It was not worth her concern at all. Rias frowned and did not agree immediately like in the original work. But if you think about it carefully, what is the situation with the original work? In addition to the existing family members present, Hyoudou Issei also possesses the 'Sekiryuutei's Cage Hand', a divine annihilation tool. He has great potential. As long as he is used well, he can completely make up for the lack of personnel. But what about now? Although Hyoudou Issei is still there, the Cage Hand of the Sekiryuutei is gone. This greatly reduced Hyoudou Issei's potential. Coupled with this, coupled with the training opportunities that Hyoudou Issei lost due to Zhou Chao's actions, Hyoudou Issei's current strength is much weaker than in the original work. How can she make up her mind to compete? In that case it is not a challenge, but death! Rias was not willing to let her precious family take unnecessary risks. So for a while. Rias fell silent. But in the eyes of Risel opposite, she had no choice but to be afraid, so Risel, who had a gloomy face before, raised the corners of her mouth, showed a frivolous smile, raised her chin and looked at the man standing there. Rias next to Zhou Dynasty. With a proud and provocative look on her face, she said, "What? Are you afraid? If so, just give up, then return to the Demon Realm with me immediately and marry me." "Okay! I" Rias looked angry when she heard this, even though she knew Rui Serge was stimulating her and had to step into the other party's trap, otherwise she would not even have the last chance. She couldn't accept her fate! But as soon as he started speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Chao on the side. "Ranking game? It sounds interesting. Okay, I agree. Let you and I play a ranking game to decide where Rias belongs." Zhou Chao stood up from the sofa and hugged him. Said Rias's waist next to her. "You?" Risel frowned. Rias also turned her head and looked deeply at Zhou Chao's face, which was very close at hand. "I'm sorry. Mr. Zhou Chao, you are not a devil, so you cannot participate in the ranking game on behalf of Miss Rias." However, at this moment, Gurefia on the side said. "About this, I think you can ask Sirzechs for advice. Maybe he will agree." Zhou Chao looked at Gurefia and smiled. This is not nonsense. As Rias's biological brother, although Sirzechs left the Gremory family and became the new generation of Lucifer because he inherited the position of the previous Demon King Lucifer, his feelings for his sister have not weakened at all. , so given the opportunity. He is also willing to help his sister. For example, in the original work, after Rias lost the game and had to marry Risel, she asked Gurefia to give a temporary magic card to Hyoudou Issei at the time, allowing him to directly descend to the demon world to complete the robbery. Marriage work. So the Zhou Dynasty had reason to believe it. Sirzechs would be willing to make appropriate concessions when it came to his sister's happiness. What's more, isn't this an opportunity? An opportunity to see the true power of the Zhou Dynasty and the strength of his so-called Phantom Troupe? After all, the Zhou Dynasty has the Cage Hand of the God-destroying tool Red Dragon Emperor in its hands. As one of the entities that can affect the balance of power among the three parties, they cannot help it.??Attach importance. "Okay. Please wait." Gulefiya looked deeply at Zhou Chao and nodded in agreement. Immediately, he did not hide from everyone, and directly used magic to contact the Demon King of the Demon World, Rias's biological brother, Sirzechs Lucifer, in front of everyone. The next moment, the magic light screen flashed, and Sirzechs Lucifer's head appeared in everyone's eyes. "Gurefia, is the matter resolved?" Sirzechs asked. "Some accidents happened." Gulefia replied. "Oh?" Following Gurefiya, she told Sirzechs the whole process without hesitation. Of course, this also included the Zhou Dynasty's proposal, and then they calmed down and waited for Sirzechs' decision. "You said you want to participate in the ranking game instead of Rias?" After a moment, Sirzechs looked at Zhou Chao who was still holding Rias in the room and said in a calm voice. "Yes." Zhou Chao nodded and affirmed. "Rias, what do you mean?" Sirzechs asked without comment, then turned to look at Rias. "Since the contract is still there and I am still a subordinate of the Zhou Dynasty, then the Zhou Dynasty has the right to interfere with my decision. So, I agree." Rias turned her head and looked at Zhou Dynasty again, then she exhaled softly and said calmly. . It seems that Rias is still unwilling to accept that she cannot participate in the ranking game, and that her marital happiness has to be solved by the hands of others under the guise of others. "In that case, fine, I agree that Zhou Chao will take part in the ranking game on your behalf." Hearing this, Sirzechs was silent for a few seconds before finally deciding. But it was not over. After a pause, he continued, "But correspondingly, you and your relatives cannot join the game and become his assistance. All contestants need to be found separately by Zhou Chao. Is that okay?" "Okay?" " Rias naturally has no problem with this. After all, without her as the king, she can't even identify the enemy's formation. Not to mention the issue of soldier upgrades, the strength of other chess pieces will be affected, and she doesn't want that to happen. The family member whose own strength was suppressed went to fight the opponent's enemy with full strength, so he readily agreed. Following Sirzechs, he looked at Zhou Chao again and continued, "As for you, Zhou Chao, in addition to yourself, you can also choose up to fifteen companions to participate in the game. You have one week to prepare, one After the weekend, the ranking game between you and Russell Phoenix will officially begin. Is there any problem?" "No problem," Zhou Chao nodded. One week is enough time. After all, the manpower is ready. Although there are only six of them including him, they are all strong enough to crush all the followers of Phoenix, but there is no need to find other people to increase the battle. Too strong, that would be too bullying. Of course, apart from that, he never expected that Sirzechs would actually give him seven days of activity. You must know that you are a free man, and no one knows the connections and forces behind you. If you are the kind of person who is thoughtful, you will find a group of 15 powerful helpers to ensure this victory without preparation. This is very important to Phoenix. It's not fair, and it's very likely that this will cause the Phoenix family and the Gremory family to completely quarrel, and they will even have objections to him, the devil. Therefore, Zhou Dynasty¡¯s initial idea was that Sirzechs would start the game directly, or give Zhou Dynasty one to two days, and no more than three days at most, to prepare. "Is he really not afraid that he will influence him by being shameless? Or does he have other purposes?" After agreeing, Zhou Chao squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Sirzechs on the magic light screen and thought to himself. "It's up to you. I'm going to see what you want to do." "Well, the game will officially start at ten o'clock in the morning in seven days." Sirzechs said. Then the magic light screen flashed, cutting off the connection with Gurefia. "Humph, I will teach you what etiquette should be when facing a strong person." Risel stared at Zhou Chao with a cold gaze and said coldly. "I'm looking forward to it." Zhou Chao raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Hmph." Risel snorted coldly, activated the magic circle, and disappeared into the air in a sudden burst of fire. "You can let me go." Then, Rias's voice said. "I'm sorry, I forgot." Although he said that, Zhou Chao didn't look embarrassed at all on his face. He just took his hand away from Lias's waist and took it back with a smile. . "Wait here for a while. I'll talk to you about Risel later." Seeing this, Rias didn't say anything. She just spoke in a calm tone and followed Grafia away. They left the office in the old school building, leaving only Himejima Akeno and others.Yasi's family members looked at each other there. Fortunately, this time did not take long, only about half an hour, Rias returned to the office in a red magic light. However, he still did not pay attention to Zhou Chao immediately. Instead, he delegated the demon commissions he received to Kiba Yuuto, Hyoudou Issei and Tashiro Koneko as usual and asked them to go out to work. He sat down facing the opposite side.
