Riser Phenex isn't a villain

Chapter 293: No time to rest

Riser Lucifer returned.

When this news was announced, the entire Underworld exploded. They were dancing, crying, and full of happiness with the return of their Lucifer. While they wished to meet him, it was said that Riser went to rest to recuperate all the wounds.

So what about the Great Red?

This was a question that everyone wished to ask, but no media could approach him, and they could only wait until Riser was ready to talk. Still, more importantly, Riser was okay, and that was the most important thing.

While many wanted to come, wishing to see him, and even asked him about many things, Riser didn't wish to meet everyone. He just finished his battle, and he just wanted to do his own things instead of accommodating everyone's worries, needs, etc. He knew that it might be arrogant for him to do so, especially when he always carried a polite attitude toward everyone as long as they treated him nicely.

If they treated him badly, then he would treat them twice worse.

Nevertheless, while many complained inwardly, no one said anything since this was his wish.

So, during those three days, he spent all of his time with his women and didn't care about anything.

While everyone under Phenex House and Sitri House knew what Riser was doing now, others didn't appreciate it.

"Did he become so arrogant after he became Lucifer?" Lord Bael was displeased when he thought his wish to meet Riser was rejected. Even if Riser had defeated the Great Red, Riser was still a devil. Riser's position was below him, and the reason Riser could become Lucifer was also because of him.

How could this brat be so ungrateful?

This action might be unnatural, but Lord Bael, as the leader of the Great King faction, felt inferior toward Riser, and it was also due to this that his attitude worsened, especially when his current wife and all the trusted by his side often talked about Riser.

However, the moment Lord Bael said those words, he was slapped by his father.

*Slap!*

"Fa-Father?"

Lord Bael was dumbfounded, but Zekram Bael didn't care about his son's attitude and kept beating him until Lord Bael was half-dead.

"Forgive me, Father! Forgive me!"

When Zekram was angry, no one dared to say anything. Even Lord Bael, the king of the Underworld, could only succumb to his father's brutality.

It wasn't until Lord Bael was almost dead that Zekram stopped.

"I wonder if there is something wrong with my education. You have grown so old; why are you still acting like a brat?"

"Fo-Forgive me, father..."

Lord Bael cried as he kept apologizing.

Looking at his son, which was so disappointing, Zekram sighed and knew that there was no cure for idiocy. "Maybe I should change you with your son." At least, he was sure that Lord Bael's son would be easier to use and definitely wouldn't do anything so stupid. As for the others? He didn't even bother to tell them why he did this since it might be better for those who were idiots to die.

Zekram didn't feel afraid of the powerful enemies, especially Riser, who could stay alive after fighting the Great Red. Instead, what he was afraid of was a stupid teammate that would bring him to ruin.

So, with that decision, Zekram didn't care about his son and swiftly moved on to his next plan, using his grandson as his next puppet.

As for Lord Bael?

It might be better for Lord Bael to stay in the castle all the time to become a sow to create the next generation of the Bael House.

However, compared to the situation of the Bael House, the situation of a certain group was much worse.

After Riser destroyed Tannin, he left directly, leaving all the mess to Ajuka and the others.

Yet, unlike the others, who could swiftly do their jobs, Ajuka couldn't, especially when he was surrounded by the previous alliance that was created to summon the Great Red to kill Riser.

Frankly, before the alliance was created, everyone was confident, as no one thought that Riser would be able to win against the Great Red. Even if Riser hadn't died, it would have been impossible for Riser to return so swiftly.

Still, was the Great Red defeated?

Did Riser win?

How can Riser return?

This question kept appearing, especially when Ajuka recalled the smile that Riser showed that day.

"AJUKA, IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!"

Naturally, Tiamat was the one most frightened by the return of Riser. She knew that she had nothing to do with Riser and their relationship was just so-so. If she didn't owe something to Ajuka, she wouldn't even do anything to Riser. Yet, everything had been done, and she knew sooner or later, Riser would give his revenge!

While Tiamat wasn't sure whether Riser would win against the Great Red or not, she knew he could kill Tannin with ease. Tannin, who had gone on a rampage in the Underworld without anyone being able to stop it, was just dead like that under Riser; then what about her?

Hearing Tiamat's outburst, the five individuals who had planned and done the dragon summoning previously fell in silence, and no one knew what they should do, but somehow, Yun-Long, the youngest and the most cowardly Dragon King, felt calm when he saw Tiamat.

"Why are you so calm?" Tiamat looked at Yu-Long strangely.

Frankly, except for Tiamat, whether it was Sun Wukong, Yu-Long, Fafnir, Azazel, or Ajuka, all of them were calm, and nothing was shown on their faces.

"What are you worried about? No one knows what we are doing, right?" Yu-Long said with ease.

That's right!

Except for the six of them, no one knew that they were the ones who did the dragon summoning to kill Riser.

"As long as no one says anything, nothing will be known." Sun Wukong only nodded, then looked at everyone. "Unless someone wants to commit suicide, it is."

"..."

No one wanted to be killed by Riser, so they knew what they needed to do was to keep silent and pretend nothing was happening.

"However, I don't think that he can defeat the Great Red. Instead, I think that he must be using some tricks." Sun Wukong added that he didn't think that the devil was so strong. Compared to the Chinese Myth and the Hindu myth, the Christian myth was like a baby, after all.

Moreover, everyone knew how crazy the Great Red was, and with Riser's power, it should be impossible for him to defeat it.

So, at this moment, their decision was clear, and it was just a matter of pretending that they did nothing.

Yet, Ajuka and Azazel knew that everything would be far from simple, but they wouldn't say anything since, like what Yu-Long and Sun Wukong said, no one knew that it was them who had done it.

As for Fafnir?

Fafnir was so bored and didn't care about their conversation. Instead, he was just wishing to meet Asia, especially after he got the precious panties from Asia.

As for Riser or whatover?

Fafnir didn't care since he didn't think he had done anything wrong.

"Asia-tan~! Fufufu~!"

"....." 5x

[Congratulations, you have received "Kibi Kibi no Mi (Complete Version)."]

"Hmm..."

Riser, who could have a moment of calm after several days of intense fight, checked the reward he gained after killing Tannin and ate it without hesitation, but when he was about to check the information about this ability, he noticed a crazy presence that was about to ruin his city.

Directly, Riser teleported to the source of this problem and thought to fight, but then—

"Are you the one who defeated the Great Red?"

"...."

Riser felt familiar with this individual, but somehow, he needed to check it. "...who are you?"

"I am Ophis."

Riser had just finished his battle, so did he need to fight again?
