Riser Phenex isn't a villain

Chapter 344: The strongest being in the world

When the war and all the troubles that happened in this world ended, it was time for them to do the aftermath.

Riser stayed with Sona, Serafall, Rias, Ravel, and all of his women, watching the funeral that happened before them.

While many were sad due to this funeral, none of them lost hope since they knew that they were victorious.

"Ajuka-chan..."

Serafall lay on Riser's shoulder in a complicated mood.

There were also many small characters who died in this war since it was impossible for Riser to heal all of those beings who joined the war with him forever. He put a limit, and when they had hit their limit, they died. Still, those who died were not only small characters but also big characters, such as Ajuka and Azazel.

As the two greatest-minded individuals in the alliance, there was no doubt that the loss of the two was simply a great loss for the alliance.

Still, fortunately, their Lucifer had a great mind like those two, so even if the alliance had lost Ajuka and Azazel, it didn't mean that they were in despair. Moreover, in the end, what was important in the supernatural world was individual power.

Frankly, this funeral didn't make many sad at all since the two weren't that popular characters; they were callous and hypocritical. Still, there were many who cared about them, especially their subordinates.

Nevertheless, except for comforting Serafall and showing an expression of what a leader should do, Riser didn't do much at this funeral. Still, due to the defeat of the Hindu and the Chinese Myth, they decided to join the alliance. While he could kill all of the members of those myths, he didn't do so, and he also didn't care either since it was troublesome to manage the place of those two myths.

Instead of making those two myths become a wasteland by killing them, he might as well make them join the alliance and use them to take care of all his problems.

At that moment, he knew that he was truly free, and there was no need for him to fear anyone, especially when he was above anyone, especially when he also had Ophis by his side.

Like others, Ophis also followed him and stayed by his side. Probably, it was also due to this war that her perception of him also changed since, unlike others who wished to use her, he didn't do anything and told her to stay in the villa with everyone.

Riser was different from the original MC, who needed Ophis's power to power up. He was strong and didn't need the help of this infinite dragon to take care of his problem. It was also due to this that he knew that when Issei returned, Issei must become stronger to defeat him, like how the cliche plot is.

However, the question was, where could Issei get that power?

After all, a Heavenly Dragon was just so.

Riser had defeated the Dragon God, the Great Red, so the Heavenly Dragons, like Ddraig or Albion, were nothing, so even if Issei returned with the "Boosted Gear" alone, there was nothing that Issei could do. Moreover, the "Boosted Gear" was nothing but a mid-tear Longinus.

In other words, "Boosted Gear" wasn't the strongest Longinus.

Then, how could Issei grow stronger?

Looking at Ophis, who was munching on her mochi quietly as Ravel held her hand, Riser knew that he needed to let Ophis stay by his side all the time.

The funeral was held for the entire day. It was a long process with a variety of troublesome procedures. Nevertheless, everyone was patient, and at the same time, they also increased the bounty of Cao Cao since there was no doubt that he was a dangerous being as he was able to kill Azazel and Ajuka.

Moreover, there was also Georg, who was the host of the "Dimensional Lost."

The reason why the Hero Faction was a troublesome opponent was also due to Georg since, with the "Dimensional Lost," it was easy for them to move in and out.

Nevertheless, Riser wondered when Issei was going to appear as his "Location" but was unable to find Issei. Still, was it possible that "Location" couldn't be used due to a certain reason? While there was such a possibility, he could tell that Issei would appear with the future Gasper.

Riser glanced in the direction of Gasper and caused Gasper, who was nervous and afraid of the crowd, to straighten his back and erase all of his fear since he didn't want to be targeted by Riser.

"What's wrong, Riser?" Rias asked curiously since Riser was looking at Gasper's direction.

"If I am not wrong, your Bishop should be from a famous vampire house, right?"

"Um, is there something wrong with it?"

"Well, it doesn't really matter."

"Now that you mention it, the vampire hasn't decided to join the alliance, right?" Rias remembered that the noble house of the vampire didn't join the alliance.

"That's right."

"Do you want them to join?"

"It doesn't matter whether they join or not."

"That's true." Rias nodded since, with how powerful the alliance was, there was no need for them to beg. Instead, it should be those who haven't joined the alliance should feel anxious and beg them to join this alliance.

"By the way, your sister-in-law hasn't been found?"

"Not yet." Rias almost forgot about her sister-in-law, especially when many things happened in the supernatural world.

"Let's search for her later."

"Thanks." Rias smiled happily.

With the end of the war, Riser would be once again living a peaceful, lazy life. There was no need for him to be anxious to fight anyone or conspire to kill anyone as he was the strongest being. His thoughts were like Ophis at this moment.

The reason why Ophis let those who betrayed her or used her stay alive was because she could not kill them anymore.

Whatever their conspiration was, everything was meaningless in front of mighty power.

Probably because he was the weak one before, he couldn't get used to this feeling, and his nature to seek peace of mind didn't help much, making him often clear up all of the problems in the most complicated ways instead of killinghis enemies instantly.

Nevertheless, the rewards of his hard work were obvious since he could live an easy life now. It was just that when the ceremony ended, Mephisto Pheles came to him.

"Lucifer-sama," Mephisto greeted Riser respectfully without any air of importance or arrogance.

"It's been a while, Mephisto."

"Yes, it's been a while. I am glad that I can meet you today."

The last time they met each other was at the end of the rampage of Tannin.

When Riser returned, Mephisto quickly came to Riser and apologized, begging him. It was also why Mephisto let go of Reni right away without care since he knew that no matter what Reni did, it was all meaningless.

Mephisto was about to tell Riser his purpose in coming to him, but suddenly, two beautiful young women approached him and interrupted him.

"Dear..."

Akeno quickly realized Riser was talking with Mephisto, "I am sorry for bothering you, Dear."

"No, no. Please talk first, Himejima Akeno-kun. My matter can be delayed later."

"Is it not important?" Riser asked curiously.

"I think that someone is more anxious than me, after all." Mephisto then looked at Suzaku Himejima with a polite nod, then left them quietly, and was glad that he decided to choose Riser.
