  Elma, Lucoa, and Ophis also tensed up.

  Samael, the Dragoer—was the natural enemy ons.

  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 sg 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 te.

  "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 pletely eradicated any form of life—It was an incredibly powerful teique.

  Samael was no match for it.

  Hades's eyes widened in shod anger.

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

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

  That would be idiotic.

  He didn't want those disgustiacles anywhere near Ilulu.

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

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

  The horrifying aura was gone, and she had calmed dowhen gave Roy a kiss on the cheek.

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

  With Samael gone, Ilulu no longer held back.

  She unleashed a powerful Dragoh—pletely iing Hades.

  ...

  Meanwhile, the battle between Tohru and Cao Caed on.

  Tohru unleashed another Dragoh, and Cao Cao barely mao 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 ting.

  "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 aru."

  "You. Annouhe 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 ma different powers depending ouation.

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

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

  "e! Let's tinue our battle!" he decred, pointing his spear at Tohru, a fident 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 decred, charging towards him fearlessly.

  Her cws cshed against the True Longinus.

  BOOM!!!

  Their battle was fierce, the ground crag beh 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 ption. He couldn't maintain it for long.

  Soon, he was defeated by Tohru.

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

  "Cao Cao, do you have any st words?" Roy asked, approag him.

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

  "But as a desdant 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 inteo 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 Ge, Heracles, Siegfried, and the hundreds of other members of the Hero Fa.

  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, opehem and realized she was still alive.

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

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

  Roy, notig their knowing gnces, 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 sider making you my servant," he offered.

  Jeanne was stuhen 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 returo the castle.

  Just then, a magiunication circle appeared in the hall.

  Sirzechs's image materialized within the circle.

  "Onii-sama?" Rias excimed.

  "Maou-sama!" the irls also greeted him.

  They hadn't expected Sirzechs to tact 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 ference hall, discussing the situation.

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

  Roy patted her head, then turo 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 o be so formal, Sirzechs. I'm also a Maou. It's my duty to help quell this u," Roy replied.

  Sirzechs smiled.

  "It's like this—"

  He expihe situation.

  Remnants of the Old Maou Fa, the Chaade, the Underworld forces, and some Fallen Angels had unched a coorditack across the Underworld.

  Although minor uprisings weren't unon in the Underworld, this one was unpreted 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 bined forces, wasn't easily quelled.

  The Underworld was fag an unpreted crisis.

  The Devils in the ference hall, all high-ranking officials, discussed strategies and termeasures.

  The room was filled with tension and chatter.

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

  The room fell silent, and everyouro him.

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

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

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

  Roy remained calm uheir scrutiny.

  ...

  He turo Sirzechs. "Before we came here, we were attacked by the Hero Fa of the Chaade and Hades, the God of the Underworld."

  "Oh? Did you mao 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 ference hall erupted in otion.

  They knew about the Hero Fa. They couldn't believe they had been annihited while attag the Fifth Maou.

  But their shock didhere.

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

  Sirzechs was stunned.

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

  The ference hall was in chaos.
