"Is the entire high-level combat power of Heaven facing an unprecedented period of weakness?"
The more Sherpa looked, the more ecstatic his expression became.
He suddenly stood up, opened his arms, and let out an extremely arrogant laugh.
"Hahaha! Heaven is helping me! It really is heaven helping me!"
"That coward Sazex is still gloating over the peace between the three parties! But I! Will inherit the glory of the first Demon King!"
"The time has come!"
His eyes gleamed with greed and ambition.
"Pass on my order! Summon all troops!"
"Three days from now, we will not only reclaim our underworld, but also storm Heaven and slaughter that so-called new god!"
The Sherpas were completely unaware.
He was elated, carrying all his possessions, heading headlong into an execution ground—a magnificent yet deadly spectacle tailor-made for them.
Chapter 224 Gaspar
The communication screen suddenly cut off.
Inside the activity room of the Paranormal Research Department, it was so quiet you could hear your heart pounding.
Rias Gremory's beautiful blue eyes were fixed on Zhou Ye.
That's not the look you give a lover.
It's more like watching a monster in human skin that has just crawled out of hell.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?" Zhou Ye swung his leg comfortably, breaking the suffocating silence.
"abnormal?"
Rias's voice trembled slightly, without her even realizing it.
"You call this an anomaly?"
She took a sudden step forward, her chest heaving violently, her beautiful red hair moving on its own even without wind.
“Heaven! That’s Heaven! Michael is an Archangel! You’re telling me you just went there on your way and turned it into yours?”
"You treat my brother, Lucifer Sazex, one of the four great demon lords, like a subordinate, behaving like a servant!"
"Zhou Ye! Who exactly are you?!"
She was practically screaming, pouring out all the shock, fear, and confusion that followed the collapse of her understanding.
Cannashidi stood to the side, her face pale, but she forced herself to remain calm.
She adjusted her glasses, and behind the lenses, her eyes were analyzing the situation at lightning speed with a kind of high-speed logical calculation.
Power levels, territorial boundaries, political influence... everything was completely overturned, crushed, and reconstructed into a completely new and terrifying landscape in Zhou Ye's few casual words.
Zhou Ye raised his hand and gently beckoned to Rias with his finger.
Rias felt an irresistible force enveloping her.
The next second, she uncontrollably slumped back onto the sofa, all her excitement and anger suppressed by that gentle yet irresistible force.
"Calm down, Rias."
Zhou Ye withdrew his hand and picked up a cup of black tea from the table.
"I am still me. Your boyfriend, an ordinary otaku who likes figurines and cute girls."
He paused and changed the subject.
"It's just that I happened to take on the role of the new master of Heaven as well."
"you……"
Rias was furious, but couldn't utter a single word.
This mixture of extreme arrogance and extremely mundane tone created a sense of absurdity that almost drove her mad.
"Pfft."
A soft laugh broke the deadlock.
Himejima Akeno walked gracefully over, her voluptuous body gently leaning against the back of Zhou Ye's chair, her breath sweet as orchids.
"Abnormal, this is really too abnormal."
She stretched out her slender fingers and gently stroked Zhou Ye's shoulder, speaking in her unique, captivating tone.
"From initially obtaining the power of the God Destroyer to now becoming the new leader of Heaven, the speed at which he has achieved such incredible success is something even a wish-fulfillment novel wouldn't dare to write, right?"
A charming smile graced her face, but a hint of inquiry and unease lurked in her purple eyes.
"Moreover, we were all witnesses to all of this."
"It feels like she's the heroine in a novel."
Alright, now I know the truth, Zhu Nai.
Zhou Ye silently complained in his heart.
This world might really be made up of a novel.
But who can say for sure what is true and what is false?
Having lived here for so many years, was everything I experienced just a fabricated scenario?
He reached out and pulled the smiling Akeno Himejima into his arms, letting her sit on his lap.
The sudden movement elicited a cute gasp from Zhu Nai.
Zhou Ye held her, resting his chin on the top of her head, and whispered comfortingly:
"Perhaps we are the main characters, and perhaps we are the supporting characters. What we need to do now is simply live in the present moment, right?"
His words stunned all the girls present.
Himejima Akeno leaned against Zhou Ye's broad chest, feeling that familiar and reassuring aura, and the slight unease in her heart gradually subsided.
She looked up at Zhou Ye's profile and asked softly:
"Will there be any more wars in the future?"
"There will be."
Zhou Ye's answer was without any hesitation.
"Just read more history books and you'll understand. Isn't human history just a history of wars? Peace is just a brief respite between wars. History is like a cycle, repeating itself endlessly."
His words were cruel, yet they were the most truthful and honest statement.
"correct."
Himejima Akeno suddenly remembered something, and asked in a tone that was half-joking and half-seriously:
"Since you've taken control of Heaven, does that mean my father... the fallen angel cadre Baiqiu, is now considered your subordinate?"
"Should I remind him to submit his work reports to me on time when I see him in the future?"
This question made Rias and Sona both perk up their ears.
This is no longer a matter of personal feelings; it involves the most crucial personnel relationships among the three parties.
Zhou Ye pinched Himejima Akeno's cheek.
"You can have him write me a 30,000-word reflection on how to be a good father-in-law. If it's not up to standard, send it back for rewriting."
"Oh, Ye~"
Himejima Akeno playfully punched Zhou Ye's chest, but the blush of happiness on her face was impossible to hide.
at this time.
"Alright, Zhu Nai, it's time to get up after you've hugged enough."
Rias's voice came through; she had recovered from her earlier lapse and returned to being the noble and elegant young lady of the Gremory family.
However, her expression remained complicated.
"My brother just sent me a message."
Rias stood up and walked to a door in the activity room that was sealed by runes.
"He allowed me to unblock Gaspar."
She took a deep breath, as if she had made some kind of decision.
“My other bishop is coming out.”
Gasparvaldi.
Another bishop of Rias.
A vampire-human hybrid.
Possesses the divine artifact, the Evil Eye that Stops the World.
In an instant, all the information about this character flashed through Zhou Ye's mind.
If he remembered correctly, she was an extremely shy blonde cross-dresser who liked to lock herself in a cardboard box.
Rias walked to the door bound by countless rune chains, her expression softening, even carrying a hint of helpless indulgence.
"Gaspar, come out, it's alright."
Her voice was like a whisper soothing a frightened little animal.
There was no response from inside the door.
There was only a faint, rustling friction sound.
“This child… is extremely shy.” Rias turned around and explained apologetically, “And because she can’t control her power, she has been sealed here.”
She turned back to the door, emphasizing her words.
"Gaspar! This is the minister's order!"
