"The Glasya-Labolas family had a big commotion at the main house a few days ago. I heard that the person originally chosen as the next head died in an accident. So the Zephyrdor from just now became the new candidate for the next head."
Serafall mentioned the guy who had lost a lot of face just now as they chatted casually.
"The next head was killed? That's no small matter. Judging from your tone, the accident wasn't simple, right? Was it a terrorist attack?"
This news was indeed shocking. For a family representing a Devil King to have the next head die in an accident, anyone with eyes could see that it wasn't simple.
"I guess only the Glasya-Labolas family knows the truth. After all, any family would consider such a thing a disgrace and hide it."
Serafall said with disdain, and the others fell silent. Just as the atmosphere was becoming silence, a servant opened the door and walked in.
"I sincerely apologize for keeping you waiting, everyone. Everyone is waiting for you."
The young devils and their familiars stood up and followed the servant. Soon, they were led to a hall with a strange atmosphere. The high-level members of the Underworld were sitting in the higher seats, as were the heads of those large families.
The four people sitting in the highest seats were Lucifer Sirzechs, Leviathan Serafall, and two relatively unfamiliar young faces, the current Beelzebub and Asmodeus, who also held seats among the Four Great Devil Kings.
Zephyrdor, who had been knocked down by Serafall with one punch, was already standing there. Although he had woken up, it could be seen that his face was still swollen.
When he saw Serafall walking in, the look in his eyes was a mixture of resentment and fear, and when he saw Arthas following behind Rias, he immediately erupted.
"How dare you! What is this place? Is it a place that just anyone can enter?! Rias, you're really getting bolder and bolder. Don't think that just because you're the Devil King's sister, you can do whatever you want!"
"Shut up, Zephyrdor. It was our decision, the four of us, to let the Gremory family's soldier in. What, do you have any complaints?"
Arthas raised an eyebrow slightly, and Rias also looked displeased, but before they could speak, the Devil King Asmodeus, sitting in the high seat, spoke slowly.
"I'm very sorry, Lord Asmodeus… I didn't know… but why… he's just a soldier!"
Having not seen Arthas's performance in the hall just now, Zephyrdor didn't care about this so-called strongest soldier in the Underworld.
Asmodeus didn't seem to have any intention of explaining anything. It could be seen that his expression was somewhat unsightly. He had heard everything that had happened in the hall just now, and he was very angry at this temporary family heir's embarrassing behavior.
However, with his three colleagues watching from the side, he naturally couldn't lose his temper, because that would be even more embarrassing.
However, he had already begun to consider whether or not to help the family choose a new heir. Why couldn't his family produce someone like Rias's soldier?
Although Zephyrdor was a little arrogant, he wasn't really an idiot. Seeing the change in the Devil King's expression, he wisely chose to shut up.
"Thank you for coming all the way here. This is a special conference held to get a good look at you, who will be shouldering the next generation. Of course, it also includes the young devil's meeting that will be held within a certain period of time."
The one at the highest level spoke, and the seven young devils, including Arthas, stepped forward at the same time, looking as if they were receiving a commission.
"All seven of you are next-generation devils from families with extraordinary lineages and strength. That's why I want you to compete with each other and improve your strength together before your official debut."
Sirzechs, sitting at the highest point, said this.
"In other words, we'll eventually participate in the battle against the 'Khaos Brigade,' right?"
The name of this terrorist organization had spread throughout the upper echelons of the Underworld, and Rias and Arthas had received extremely high praise for repelling them, so it was normal for Serafall, the battle maniac, to ask such a question.
"That's currently unknown. But, if possible, I don't want to do that."
The unexpected answer made Serafall frown.
"Why? Although we're young, we're also capable of shouldering the mission of devils. Reaching this age and still relying on our predecessors without contributing anything…"
"Serafall, your courage is commendable. However, it's too reckless. I want to avoid sending you, who are still growing, to the battlefield at all costs. Because losing the next generation of devils is too great a burden for us to bear. I hope you can understand. Your value to us is much higher than you think; you're our treasures. That's why I want you to grow up step by step."
As the Devil King of the Underworld, Sirzechs was considering things from a very long-term perspective. Having experienced the ancient war, the devils had already suffered unprecedented heavy losses, and the strongest pure-bloods that they could maintain, those in Rias's generation, were only these few. Therefore, for the sake of the future of the entire Underworld, Sirzechs, who was hailed as the best Devil King, had made this decision.
At the same time, this was also why Arthas was able to come to such an occasion as a soldier. Because Arthas was too outstanding, and the four Devil Kings had all unanimously seen a strong future for the Underworld in him.
Having received this reason, even though he still looked displeased, Serafall had to temporarily back down, although he probably felt dissatisfied in his heart.
Next, the high-level members spoke about complex topics, and the Devil Kings also clarified the direction of the Rating Games from now on.
"Alright, I apologize for making you listen for so long. We're entrusting our dreams and hopes to you young people. I only hope that you can understand this point; you're the treasures of the Underworld."
The best Devil King, and also the most popular and respected Devil King in the entire Underworld, Sirzechs deserved these accolades.
"Finally, I'd like to hear your respective dreams for the future. I wonder if that's alright?"
As soon as Sirzechs finished speaking, Serafall was the first to answer.
"My dream is to become a Devil King."
Faced with Serafall's wild words, the entire venue let out various complex sighs.
"For a Devil King to emerge from the Great King family, that's unprecedented."
"Do you think you can become a Devil King with just brute force?"
"His strength is good, but he's too reckless."
The comments were full of disbelief and doubt, but Serafall puffed out his chest and continued to say forcefully.
"If I can make the people of the Underworld feel my presence, then the only way to do that is to become a Devil King."
