Roy was essentially telling them that Hades—God of the Netherworld—was dead, and they were free to seize control of his domain.

Sirzechs—with his sharp mind, immediately understood the implication.

"So, Roy—what are your thoughts on this rebellion in the Underworld?" Sirzechs asked.

"Thoughts? I have none," Roy replied with a shrug. "Just eliminate all the rebels."

His casual words carried an undeniable air of dominance and ruthlessness.

The Devils in the room were taken aback.

"But we don't have many forces available right now. I've already summoned the younger generation of Devils," Sirzechs explained with a sigh.

Rebels were attacking all over the Underworld. They didn't have enough manpower to defend every location.

The Underworld was being overrun. If they didn't act quickly, the losses would be devastating.

"Hmm—I'll take care of it," Roy declared after a moment of contemplation.

If they didn't quell this rebellion quickly, even the Lucifuge territory might be invaded.

This had to be resolved swiftly.

And for Roy, it was a simple task.

His peerage—along with Rias, Sona, and their peerages, numbered almost a hundred.

And they were all Maou-level or higher.

In this world, Ultimate-class Devils were considered top-tier—and even among the major factions, there were very few of them.

Maou-level and Super Devils were even rarer.

With Roy and the girls' combined strength, these rebels were no match for them.

Sirzechs nodded, relieved. "That would be wonderful. We'll await your victorious return."

He could tell that Rias and the others had become—Incredibly powerful.

Even he couldn't see through Rias's strength anymore.

And none of the girls present were within his range of perception.

This meant they were all at least Maou-level.

This realization shocked Sirzechs—

Sirzechs then arranged for Roy and the girls to be deployed to various locations throughout the Underworld to suppress the rebellion.

"Roy—you're a lifesaver," Sirzechs said gratefully.

"It's nothing. I just don't want my peaceful life to be—disrupted," Roy replied with a shrug.

He might not have any grand ambitions, but he wouldn't tolerate anyone disturbing his peace.

...

The Underworld was vast. Roy and the girls were teleported to different battlefields.

Ophis wasn't interested in suppressing rebellions, so Roy had to take her with him.

"Maou-sama—you're finally here!" an Ultimate-class Devil exclaimed, approaching Roy. He was the commander of this battlefield.

They were in a massive town protected by a magic barrier. Outside—countless Devils swarmed, attacking relentlessly.

Roy could sense several Ultimate-class among the rebels.

But within the town, there was only this one Ultimate-class defending it.

The barrier was about to collapse.

Roy acted.

Looking at the overwhelming army of Devils, he calmly uttered a single word.

<"Kingship.">

This was the Authority he had usurped from Odin—the King of the Gods.

As he spoke, an invisible pressure enveloped the entire battlefield.

Rumble!!!

The sky trembled.

All the Devils—including the hidden Ultimate-class Devils—were forced to the ground.

Even the Devils within the town were affected.

Before the Authority of Kingship—no one could stand tall.

The battlefield fell silent, and all the Devils knelt—as if welcoming their King.

Roy's aura was that of a true ruler.

"Rebels—I offer you a chance. Surrender—and you shall live. Continue to resist, and you shall die," Roy's voice boomed across the battlefield.

The Devils trembled.

Roy's words carried absolute authority. He could decide their fate with a single word.

"I surrender!"

"Me too!"

"I was forced to join! I never wanted to rebel!"

...

Many Devils surrendered under the immense pressure.

But some remained defiant.

Roy's expression turned cold.

"Those who resist shall die!"

The defiant Devils felt an even greater pressure bearing down on them.

In the next moment, they were all annihilated by an invisible force.

This was the power of the Authority of Kingship.

Before the king—there was no resistance.

...

As Roy dealt with the rebels in his location—Rias and the others also appeared on different battlefields across the Underworld.

Rias and Koneko suddenly materialized in the midst of a fierce battle.

"Kekeke—Isn't that little girl Sirzechs's sister? If we capture her..." an ugly, old Devil cackled.

He didn't finish his sentence, but the others understood his implication.

"Gahahaha—Perhaps we can even have a taste of the Maou's little sister!" another Devil sneered with a lewd grin.

"Heh heh heh—I prefer that 'petite' girl. Don't fight me for her," a third Devil added.

The Ultimate-class Devils chatted excitedly, as if Rias and Koneko were already their captives.

But they didn't realize that Rias and Koneko could hear every word.

"Hmph! They're digging their own graves! None of them are innocent. Let's just eliminate them all!" Rias declared coldly.

These rebels were all villains.

Koneko also glared at them with a murderous glint in her eyes.

Anyone who dared to target them would be eliminated.

"Order your men to retreat—" Rias instructed a nearby Ultimate-class Devil.

This Devil was the commander of the defending forces. He was quite capable, having managed to hold out until their arrival.

"But..." he hesitated. If they retreated now, the town would be overrun.

He didn't realize how powerful Rias was.

"I'm ordering you to retreat to avoid friendly fire. Understand?" Rias said impatiently, releasing her aura.

The sky darkened, and the wind picked up.

All the Devils, both on the ground and in the air, froze.

The commander finally understood and immediately ordered his forces to retreat.

"Damn it! What is this?!"

"Why is she so strong?!"

"Run! We'll all die here—!"

The rebel Ultimate-class were pinned to the ground by Rias's aura, unable to move.

Just moments ago, they had been leering at Rias. Now, they only wanted to escape.

This woman was scary.

She had suppressed tens of thousands of Devils with her 'aura' alone—She was even more powerful than Sirzechs.

Rias didn't care. Once her allies had retreated, she unleashed her Power of Destruction.

It was even more powerful than Sirzechs's.

The rebels felt the cold embrace of death.

The destructive magic power engulfed the battlefield—annihilating all the rebels in an instant.

Rias showed no mercy.

She had heard their vulgar comments. They didn't deserve to live.

...

Similar scenes played out across the Underworld.

The rebellions were swiftly crushed.

Some, like Tohru, Ilulu, and Elma were particularly efficient.

They arrived on the battlefield and unleashed devastating Dragon Breaths, incinerating the rebels without discrimination.

The defending Devils were shocked by their ruthlessness.

They were glad they weren't on the receiving end of those attacks.

Within a day, the rebellions were quelled.

Blood stained the Underworld.

Sirzechs and the other Maous were awestruck by Roy and the girls' power.

They had suppressed the entire rebellion in less than a day. It was unbelievable.

Sirzechs had already thought highly of them—but he had still underestimated their strength.

...

When Roy and the others returned to Sirzechs's territory, they were greeted by the Four Maous and all the high-ranking Devils.

Everyone was amazed by their power.

"Sirzechs we'll leave the rest to you. We're returning to the human world," Roy announced.

He wasn't interested in getting involved in the aftermath.

He would leave that to the other Maous.

"Thank you for your hard work," Sirzechs said with a smile.

Roy and the others then teleported away.
