Elma, Lucoa, and Ophis also tensed up.

Samael, the Dragon Eater—was the natural enemy of Dragons.

Even Ilulu felt a hint of fear, but she didn't back down.

Roy frowned.

He had to deal with this creature quickly. It was even scaring Kanna.

He vanished from his spot and reappeared before Samael, his hand outstretched, releasing a chilling aura.

<"Secret Art: Absolute Zero.">

Crack! Crack! Crack!

In the blink of an eye, Samael was frozen solid.

"Damn it! What are you doing?!" Hades roared, both shocked and furious.

Samael was effective against Dragons but not Devils.

If Roy destroyed Samael, they would be doomed.

Hades tried to stop Roy, but it was too late.

"You want it? Here you go." Roy casually tossed the frozen Samael towards Hades.

Hades sighed in relief.

But before Samael could reach him, it shattered into icy dust.

Absolute Zero completely eradicated any form of life—It was an incredibly powerful technique.

Samael was no match for it.

Hades's eyes widened in shock and anger.

He had promised to let Ilulu fight, but he had interfered and destroyed Samael! How shameless!

Roy, however, didn't care—Was he supposed to wait for Samael to absorb Ilulu's power before acting?

That would be idiotic.

He didn't want those disgusting tentacles anywhere near Ilulu.

"There, it's gone now," Roy said, returning to his spot and comforting Kanna.

"Roy is the best!" Kanna exclaimed, hugging him tightly.

The horrifying aura was gone, and she had calmed down—She then gave Roy a kiss on the cheek.

Elma, Lucoa, and the others were touched by Roy's actions.

With Samael gone, Ilulu no longer held back.

She unleashed a powerful Dragon Breath—completely incinerating Hades.

...

Meanwhile, the battle between Tohru and Cao Cao raged on.

Tohru unleashed another Dragon Breath, and Cao Cao barely managed to dodge the direct hit.

But the shockwave still caught him.

When the dust settled, Cao Cao stood in a massive crater, his clothes tattered and his body wounded.

He lowered his head, his expression hidden.

Just as Tohru was about to finish him off, Cao Cao began chanting.

"O Spear. The true Holy Spear which pierces through God."

"Suck the ambition of the King of Domination sleeping within me and pierce through the gap of blessing and destruction."

"You. Announce the will, and turn into a glow."

...

[Truth Idea]—This was True Longinus's - Juggernaut Drive.

Its true form and power unleashed.

Due to the divine will residing within it, it could manifest different powers depending on the situation.

It required an incantation to activate, and it was said to be the manifestation of God's will—emitting a holy light.

Cao Cao's body was enveloped in a radiant light, his wounds completely healed.

"Come! Let's continue our battle!" he declared, pointing his spear at Tohru, a confident smirk returning to his face.

The holy power emitted by the True Longinus was effective against demonic beings like Devils.

Although Tohru wasn't a pure-blooded Devil, she was still somewhat affected.

"I'll defeat you in one go this time!" Tohru declared, charging towards him fearlessly.

Her claws clashed against the True Longinus.

BOOM!!!

Their battle was fierce, the ground cracking beneath their feet.

Roy was surprised that Cao Cao could hold his own against Tohru with Truth Idea.

But Truth Idea was a desperate move with a heavy burden and high consumption. He couldn't maintain it for long.

Soon, he was defeated by Tohru.

Cao Cao lay wounded in the crater, his expression surprisingly calm.

"Cao Cao, do you have any last words?" Roy asked, approaching him.

"It's both fortunate and unfortunate to be born in this era. This era belongs to you—Roy. We are only leaves that serve to highlight your brilliance. It's the same for me and Vali," Cao Cao said with a sigh.

"But as a descendant of heroes, it's not a disgrace to die by your hand."

His voice was filled with sorrow. A hero had fallen.

Roy felt a pang of sympathy.

He hadn't intended to kill Cao Cao initially, but Cao Cao had returned—Ready to die.

It was fate.

...

Roy no longer held back. He unleashed his magic power.

Cao Cao was instantly frozen solid, along with Georg, Heracles, Siegfried, and the hundreds of other members of the Hero Faction.

The ice shattered, and they all vanished into thin air.

Except for one.

"I—I'm not dead?" Jeanne, who had closed her eyes, waiting for death, opened them and realized she was still alive.

But seeing her comrades gone, she felt a sense of despair.

The girls, seeing that Roy had spared Jeanne, knew what he was planning.

Roy, noticing their knowing glances, chuckled awkwardly.

"Ahem—we could use some more maids in the house, couldn't we? Jeanne, would you like to be our maid? If you perform well, I might even consider making you my servant," he offered.

Jeanne was stunned, then relieved.

Although being a maid wasn't ideal, it was better than losing her life.

"I accept," she replied with a nod.

"Good."

Roy snapped his fingers, and they returned to the castle.

Just then, a magic communication circle appeared in the hall.

Sirzechs's image materialized within the circle.

"Onii-sama?" Rias exclaimed.

"Maou-sama!" the other girls also greeted him.

They hadn't expected Sirzechs to contact them.

"Rias, Roy, there's an uprising in the Underworld—We need your help. Please return as soon as possible," Sirzechs said urgently.

"We'll be right there," Roy replied.

...

Underworld, Sirzechs's territory.

Roy, Rias, Sona, and the others arrived after receiving Sirzechs's summons.

Several Maous and high-ranking Devils were gathered in a conference hall, discussing the situation.

"Roy-kun, you're finally here!" Serafall exclaimed, leaping into Roy's arms.

Roy patted her head, then turned to Sirzechs. "Sirzechs, what's the emergency?"

"I apologize for summoning you all so suddenly, but the Underworld is in dire need of your assistance."

"There's no need to be so formal, Sirzechs. I'm also a Maou. It's my duty to help quell this unrest," Roy replied.

Sirzechs smiled.

"It's like this—"

He explained the situation.

Remnants of the Old Maou Faction, the Chaos Brigade, the Underworld forces, and some Fallen Angels had launched a coordinated attack across the Underworld.

Although minor uprisings weren't uncommon in the Underworld, this one was unprecedented in its scale and ferocity.

If not handled properly, it could destabilize the entire Underworld.

The situation was indeed serious. The other Maous had already deployed their forces to suppress the riots.

But this rebellion, with its combined forces, wasn't easily quelled.

The Underworld was facing an unprecedented crisis.

The Devils in the conference hall, all high-ranking officials, discussed strategies and countermeasures.

The room was filled with tension and chatter.

"Ahem— could everyone please quiet down?" Roy interrupted, unable to bear the noise any longer.

The room fell silent, and everyone turned to him.

They were curious to see what the Fifth Maou would suggest.

Although Roy had fought several battles in the Underworld and made significant contributions, some of the older Devils still doubted his abilities.

But they didn't dare question the Maous' decisions.

Roy remained calm under their scrutiny.

...

He turned to Sirzechs. "Before we came here, we were attacked by the Hero Faction of the Chaos Brigade and Hades, the God of the Underworld."

"Oh? Did you manage to drive them away?" Sirzechs asked.

Since Roy and the others were unharmed, he assumed they had repelled the attackers.

"No, we didn't."

Everyone was surprised.

Roy smiled. "We killed them. All of them."

"What—?!"

The conference hall erupted in commotion.

They knew about the Hero Faction. They couldn't believe they had been annihilated while attacking the Fifth Maou.

But their shock didn't end there.

"We also killed Hades," Roy continued. "In fact—that's one of the reasons I came here. I wanted to inform you of this, Sirzechs."

Sirzechs was stunned.

Hades, the God of Death and Hell, was dead?

The conference hall was in chaos.
