Chapter 597 Yukihime
"What did you say? You're saying the true leader of the Khaos Brigade is Rizevim?"
Rias's eyes widened.
Rizevim Livan Lucifer.
He was the offspring of the original Lucifer and Lilith, the mother of Devils.
A true Transcendent.
Though in terms of strength.
He couldn't compare to Ouroboros Dragon Ophis.
But compared to the pure Ouroboros Dragon.
He was undoubtedly far more dangerous.
Though she didn't know much about this son of Lucifer.
She also knew.
He was an expert at playing conspiracy games.
"No wonder the Khaos Brigade could plan such a targeted operation. So it was him behind it."
Rias nodded. "No way, I have to tell my brother about this immediately."
But just as she was about to move, Ayato grabbed her.
"Alright, don't worry so much. Do you think your brother doesn't know?"
With Vali as an insider, intelligence at this level certainly couldn't be hidden from the higher-ups of the Three Factions.
"So, let's do something proper."
"You... mmph..."
Shadow World.
"What, found Yukime's trail?"
"Yes, Master."
Alpha nodded. "And according to the intelligence we have, Yukime's tribe should be about to suffer an attack."
"Mm, have the teleportation magic coordinates been set?"
"They've been set."
"Good, let's move."
A flash of light.
Ayato and Alpha's figures vanished from the room.
When they reappeared.
A village-like tribe appeared before them.
At this moment.
Flames shot into the sky. Swords clashed and shadows danced. The sounds of battle cries were endless.
"It seems it's already begun."
Ayato frowned and ordered, "Alpha, clear the area."
"Yes, Master."
Alpha acknowledged, leaving an afterimage on the ground as she headed straight for the village.
Wherever she passed!
Spurts of blood, thick and thin, sprayed. Countless severed limbs flew.
Behind Alpha, with thump, thump, thump sounds, countless bodies fell into pools of blood.
Ayato glanced only briefly before shifting his attention, spreading out his magic perception.
Elsewhere.
Inside a house.
Yukime kept retreating.
Though dressed in coarse, simple clothes, it couldn't hide her fair skin and natural beauty.
Before her, several people held weapons, their faces fierce and menacing.
"You... you..."
Yukime spoke in a trembling voice. The overwhelming sense of crisis almost stopped her heart.
"Haha, what a fine catch."
"As expected of the fox tribe. Such a high-quality one exists."
"Selling you off will set us up for years."
The men wore sinister grins, slowly closing in.
Unknowingly.
Yukime had retreated to a corner.
Behind her, there was nothing but a wall.
Despair welled up in her eyes.
Could someone, please save her?
As if answering her prayer.
Boom!
Just then, a flash of light streaked through the air.
The bodies of the people before her were instantly engulfed in an explosion.
"AAAAHHHH..."
The explosion kicked up a gale. Faintly, one could hear their miserable wails.
Creak—
The door was pushed open. Ayato's figure walked in.
"Are... are you a god?"
Seeing Ayato, a look of reverence appeared on Yukime's face.
It had to be a god.
The reason he had appeared here.
Was entirely because he had heard her prayers.
"Lord God, can you save my people?"
"Of course."
Ayato nodded. "But first, you must agree to one condition."
Yukime nodded repeatedly and said, "Lord God, please speak."
"Here, let it enter your body."
Ayato raised his hand, an Evil Piece appearing in it.
"???"
Yukime's face was full of question marks.
After a moment, she asked in a trembling voice, "Lord God, how does this thing..."
"Don't worry, this is an Evil Piece. The moment it touches your skin, it will automatically merge with you."
Ayato explained. "Then the Reincarnation Ceremony will begin. You will become a Devil, my servant."
"Ha?"
Yukime's eyes widened. Her whole body trembled involuntarily.
A d-Devil?
Not a god?
What was going on with this Devil?
