Riser Phenex isn't a villain

Chapter 282: Shit! Shit!

The news about the calamity that happened in the Norse Myths quickly spread to all the upper echelons of all the myths in the world.

While the Gods of the Norse Myth and all who lived in these Nine Worlds tried to hide this fact as they didn't want everyone to see their weakness, it was impossible for them to hide it, especially when Odin died, being killed by Loki.

Even worse, Loki was the cause of everyone's disappearance.

However, everyone knew that Loki should have joined the Khaos Brigade, hiding away and waiting for another chance to bring the Norse Myth into another Ragnarok!

It was also due to this that many Gods, especially those who weren't good at fighting within the Norse Myth, pressed Thor, who took the throne of the Chief of Gods from Odin, to gain the alliance of the devil, angels, and fallen angel as they needed to recuperate and the power of the alliance in case Loki and the Khaos Brigade once again.

Thor and many of Odin's sons didn't deny the alliance. Instead, they knew they needed this alliance, but they were worried, with their current situation, that the alliance would take them seriously.

Nevertheless, what happened to the Norse Myth made many myths within the world realize the danger that came with the Khaos Brigade. However, there were still many who still scoffed at the Khaos Brigade, especially those gods who were good at fighting.

Standing on top of many from the moment they were born gave them the confidence and arrogance that no one might be able to think of.

Still, as the Khaos Brigade became famous, and many started to seek after them as they wished to join or destroy it, this terrorist organization hid once again, waiting for another chance to cause more chaos in this world.

However, with what was happening within the Norse Myth, there was one individual who panicked and frightened the most.

"Shit! Shit! It's dangerous! He is serious! I don't know how he was able to do it, but he is serious! He is going to kill me! No, he is going to kill all of us!"

Azazel panicked, especially when he found out Odin had been killed. While everyone thought the one who killed Odin was Loki, especially when Loki directly announced to everyone in the Norse Myths that Loki was the one who killed Odin, Azazel knew that wasn't the case.

In reality, it was that person who had killed Odin!

However, Azazel didn't have proof!

He also didn't even know how that person was able to kill Odin!

Moreover, would anyone believe that Odin was killed by that person?

NO!

Yet, more importantly, Azazel knew that it was about time he was about to be killed!

"It's over! Everything is over... I-I am going to die..."

If it were others, Azazel might not be so helpless, but facing that man, he knew that all the struggles were meaningless. Even if he made everyone follow him, nothing would happen!

If there was a chance, whether it was 0,000001% probability, he wouldn't give up!

However, it was 0%!

Nothing could be done!

"Calm down."

"How could I calm down?!" Azazel sighed, wondering what he should do. He didn't care much about his life, but he knew that the moment he chose to become that person's enemy, he could only choose one thing that could be saved.

Was it someone who he thought was his son or his race?

Azazel looked at the figure who worked with him and asked, "Can you defeat him?"

"No."

"Then, why are you still calm? He is at your house, you know?"

"Even so, what can I do?"

"....." Azazel.

"I have set everything up. You don't need to worry."

Azazel sighed and asked, "So we have to do this?"

"We do, or else we will die. Lastly, can you entrust this peace to him?"

Azazel fell in silence and nodded firmly. "I can."

"Well, that's true."

"But, as expected, the peace on his mind is different from our peace, and there is no doubt he is a dangerous element in this world." Azazel knew how reliable that person was, but at the same time, he also knew how dangerous that person was, especially when he was already labeled as an enemy.

No, those who were labeled as enemies by that person would only have one fate, and that was to be killed.

Even if that person had to involve many innocents, no one could escape from him.

As for the reason why that person didn't kill them, it was because that person didn't want to leave any traces behind and used someone as a scapegoat, like how he used Vali to kill Sirzech.

"But... is this plan really possible?"

"We don't have any choices. We have to bet everything."

Azazel closed his eyes.

It was all or nothing.

It was either that person or they who would live.

There was no possibility of the two of them being at peace.

Still, if possible, Azazel didn't want to do this.

---

With the day being pressed and when the time of the duel between him and his enemies would start, Riser was as calm as ever. He didn't spend his time training since training was meaningless for him. It was like an exam student who had used their year for study, and when there was only one day before the exam, it was better for them to use it as a rest instead of using it to study as much as possible until the last moment.

Riser had done everything that he could do, and it was only time that could decide who would become the winner between them.

Moreover, even if he couldn't win, he knew that he could run away, so why should he be worried?

In this world, he might not be the strongest, but there was no doubt his ability to run away was the number one strength, and he believed that no one could catch him unless he allowed them to do so.

So, he was relatively calm and spent his time in the library of the Astaroth House since if he couldn't defeat his enemy, he could run away.

After the incident with Diodora, Riser decided to spend his time at the Astaroth House, learning everything that was collected by this family. With Diodora's permission, who could stop him?

Still, with what had happened to the Norse Myth, Rossweisse decided to go back to check her house.

Riser didn't stop her and just told her to call him in case she needed help.

"Thank you, Riser-sama..."

Staring at him with teary eyes, Rossweisse hugged him tightly. If this was something she was happy with, it was the fact that her family was okay, but many of her friends and acquaintances were affected and even died due to this Ragnarok.

At that time, Riser didn't do anything and just let her hug him. Nevertheless, no one thought that this incident was related to him among his women or his allies except for one.

"...do you have to kill them, nyaa?"

Kuroka, who had been following him quietly, finally talked.

While many were clueless, she knew that the man she had chosen as a mate was dangerous and he might be the one who controlled all the terror in the world, but even if she knew about that, she never said anything and just endured everything until now.

This time, Kuroka knew that something big must be happening, especially when Riser told his peerage members along with her that the alliance would use Diodora to become bait to eliminate the Khaos Brigade.

This should also include all of her previous comrades.

"Do you think they will let me go if I let them go?"

"...."

Kuroka couldn't talk since she wasn't as naive as the others. Staying as a stray for so long, she had seen much darkness in the world, and she knew Riser was so gentle, but even so, she still wanted to try since she knew how strong he was, but—

"I will give you two choices."

Riser didn't let Kuroka talk and said an ultimatum. "Stay by my side or leave. There is no other choice other than that."

"...You don't mind me leaving, nyaa?" Kuroka asked sadly with tears.

"..."

Riser took a deep breath and said firmly, "Yes."

"No, nyaa~! I don't want to leave! Don't abandon me, nyaa!"

Watching Kuroka, who hugged him tightly, Riser didn't show much of a reaction to his expression and only said, "Then, you don't need to think about anything and just stay by my side."

"Um..."

Kuroka knew that there was only one thing that she could choose in her life, whether it was him or the others, but in the end, she chose him since she knew he was the one who needed her the most.

Only when they were immersed in their moment did a harsh shout reach into their ears.

"Who dares to do something shameful in this sacred library?!"

"...." 2x
