As expected by Tenraku, they easily left the alternate dimension through the power of “Fog of Extinction – Dimension Lost” and returned to their homes in the real world. Although the Kamiya Family Home within the alternate dimension had turned into ruins, their actual home in the real world remained undamaged.
After going through a major battle, the girls who returned home finally managed to relax. Rias reported the situation to her older brother, Sirzechs. Mihae and Asia worked on healing the injuries of their sisters.
Ophis also went to other dimensions and brought back all the escaped snakes. Tenraku asked about it, and according to Ophis’s response, she now only had half of her original power. The other half had been taken by Cao Cao and his group!
Although it was only half, this wasn’t the power of just one or two Demon Kings; it was at least on the scale of tens or hundreds of them!
Tenraku felt that he had a certain responsibility for this loss. If he had been able to anticipate Cao Cao’s methods in advance, perhaps he could have stopped them.
However, in his previous life, he had only roughly skimmed through some of the plotlines of High School DxD. Over the years, many details had become blurred in his memory. There was nothing he could do about it.
If Tenraku remembered correctly, Cao Cao and his group took Ophis’s power, created a clone identical to Ophis, and even named her Lilith. Ophis was the mascot of their family, and she was also the pet that he, Tenraku, was planning to raise. How dare they take away half of her power! Afterward, he would just take that Lilith away!
Stroking Ophis’s small head, Tenraku thought fiercely. Although he was somewhat annoyed that half of Ophis’s power had been taken this time, he also obtained the “Fog of Extinction – Dimension Lost,” a Longinus that could be considered a consolation.
However, at that moment, Rias, who had just finished communicating with her older brother, hurriedly approached Tenraku.
“What’s wrong, Rias?”
“Tenraku, our older brother urgently summoned us to the Underworld!”
…
In the capital of the Underworld, the territory of the Demon King, Lucifaad—
After receiving Sirzechs’s summons, Ravel, Le Fay, and Ophis stayed at home to guard the place, while Tenraku and Rias, accompanied by Akeno and Yubelluna, rushed over almost without stopping.
“Kamiya Tenraku, Rias, you’ve finally arrived.”
“Sairaorg, Seekvaira, Sona, were you also summoned?”
In the spacious hall, quite a few Devils who had been summoned had already gathered. Tenraku and Rias could also see Sairaorg, Seekvaira, as well as Sona Sitri and their Peerage.
“Do you know what’s going on? Why were we summoned here so urgently?”
“I’m not sure. We were suddenly summoned as well, but something major and urgent must have happened.”
“Indeed, among the young Devils of the new generation, we only see the five of us. All the others are well-known and powerful high-class Devils.”
Whispers filled the air, and the atmosphere in the entire hall seemed tense. Clearly, something significant had occurred for Sirzechs to summon everyone so urgently.
Tenraku also took a rough look around. Indeed, among the young Devils of the new generation, it seemed that only Sairaorg and the others were present.
All the others were well-known figures, including the Chief Emperor of Rating Games, Diehauser Belial, the Deputy Chief, Roygun Belphegor, and Tenraku even spotted his older brother, Ruval Phenex.
Naturally, Tenraku also saw their side, but it seemed like they were discussing something important. Diehauser and Roygun merely nodded in their direction, while Ruval, along with his Peerage, walked over to them.
“Tenraku, Rias.”
“Ol-older brother, what exactly has happened?”
Ruval called out Tenraku and Rias’ names, and Tenraku took the opportunity to ask.
“No wonder you haven’t had the chance to receive any information yet. There’s been an uprising in the Underworld.”
“An uprising? Is it those remnants of the old Demon Kings again?”
Ruval spoke, and Tenraku and Sairaorg’s expressions both changed.
“This time, it’s not just them. The Khaos Brigade and other factions are involved as well. In any case, the situation is urgent, which is why Sirzechs urgently summoned us all here. The specific details will be explained to you later.”
“You’ve noticed, right? Among the new generation of Devils, only you five were summoned. This is an important strategic meeting. As the representatives of the strongest five new generation Devils, you have the qualifications to participate together.”
“This is not only a test for you but also an opportunity. Perform well. From this moment on, you represent not only yourselves but also your respective families,” Ruval admonished with a serious expression.
They exchanged glances, and Tenraku, along with Sairaorg and the others, could see the gravity in each other’s expressions.
“You’ve all waited for a long time.”
“I apologize for summoning you so urgently, but the Underworld needs your strength at this moment!”
Just then, the doors of the hall swung open, and Sirzechs and Grayfia entered. Everyone stopped talking and listened quietly to Sirzechs’ words.
“I believe you all have already received some information, but let me briefly reiterate…”
Without any unnecessary words, Sirzechs quickly explained the situation. Remnants of the old Demon Kings, the Khaos Brigade, Grecian Underworld Reapers, and many other reactionary forces dissatisfied with the current state of the Underworld were orchestrating a long-planned uprising in various parts of the Underworld!
While occasional uprisings had occurred in the Underworld before, none had been as serious as this. If not handled properly, there was a possibility of the entire Underworld being overturned!
Indeed, this was an extremely serious situation. The other Demon Kings had already launched urgent operations to guard their respective territories. Sirzechs had urgently convened the present individuals to discuss counter-strategies.
Each of them was a seasoned warrior. They discussed battle strategies and plans to face the enemy, and the entire meeting was intense yet remarkably organized.
Tenraku and Sairaorg had some ideas as well, but all the experienced seniors had already put forward their suggestions. So, they stayed quiet and listened attentively on the sidelines.
The whole meeting lasted just under an hour, and the general plan to face the enemy had already been discussed. Everyone present had a clear understanding of what they needed to do. Even Sairaorg and Seekvaira were assigned important tasks.
However, to their surprise, it seemed like Tenraku, Rias, and Sitri Sona had been forgotten. No tasks were assigned to them even as the meeting came to an end.
“Kamiya Tenraku, we’ll take our leave for now.”
“Take care, Sairaorg, Seekvaira.”
One by one, everyone left, and Sairaorg and Seekvaira departed ahead of Tenraku and the others, who watched them go.
But it was at that moment—
“Kamiya Tenraku, Rias, Sona Sitri, Sirzechs and Azazel are waiting for you. Please follow me.”
Grayfia approached Tenraku, Rias, and Sitri Sona.
The three of them shared a knowing look. There must be some other arrangement for them to be left until last. Without saying much, they followed Grayfia, each with their respective Peerage, and proceeded upstairs…
