270 Liala was surprised

The first one was fine until the last part that was a bit...

What does this matter have to do with calling you 'Onii-chan?'

Whoever that woman was, she would most likely fall into that man's hands.

The heroines were quite amused, but Liala who was hearing Eiji's inner voice for the first time was stunned.

Previously she heard the inner voice belonging to the woman named Samantha Bella, now she heard Eiji Seiya's. Liala began to suspect that she was awakening a new ability that allowed her to hear people's inner voices.

However, she could not control this ability!

Moreover ― what Liala heard coming from Eiji's inner voice made her have a little hope... But that hope was also mixed with some other emotions that made her stand there in a daze.

'Who would call you Onii-chan? You're dreaming! Is it true that Leo-kun died at the hands of Belphegor? That bastard... I wanted to kill him... But he also died by blowing himself up with Leo-kun...'

In the end Liala didn't know who she should take revenge on. But what she was most curious about was... Could Eiji really bring Leo-kun back to life?

Even so―

"What tricks are you guys playing? Do you want to trick Onee-chan? Onee-chan won't be fooled by tricks like this!" Liala's killing intent had indeed diminished a little, but she was still staring at Eiji and Bella with hostility in her eyes that made the two people confused.

"What is this woman talking about?" Bella asked.

"No idea." Eiji shrugged his shoulders.

"Still won't admit it? Those voices I heard... ?!!"

Liala widened her eyes, she held her white neck and wondered what was wrong because just as she was about to say the inner voice she heard ― her voice suddenly disappeared. She tried again of course, several times, but the result was the same and she felt a chill in her heart that let her know. If she pushed beyond this, something bad would happen to her.

Liala normally wouldn't be afraid of others, but the feeling she felt just now made her a little scared and lost her courage to tell Eiji and Bella that she could hear their inner voices.

It seemed that this had nothing to do with Eiji and Bella, but another person whose whereabouts she did not know and could not afford to mention...! Besides, Liala could not die before avenging her younger brother's death. There was also hope that Eiji might actually be able to revive Leohart.

¶{.....}

Good job, Miss System.

Seeing Liala's obvious confusion on her beautiful face, Eiji put his hands in his pockets and looked at the blonde woman casually.

"I don't know what's wrong with you. But Liala, what are you doing next?"

Liala frowned, suddenly her eyes lit up. Even so ― Bella could see that Liala wasn't planning on making peace with them. The woman's aura was still unfriendly and her smile still looked fake.

"Eiji-kun, right? Onee-chan wants something from you..."

"Let's hear it."

[Liala wants something from me? Although I feel like she's become more friendly than before, the way she looks at me has no good intentions at all. In the original work, other than Leohart, Liala's attitude towards other men was actually not very good. If a man other than her younger brother touched her, she would kill that man.]

"Fufufu. I heard you can revive people?" At the same time, Liala began to understand how the inner voice worked. As long as she didn't say explicitly, her voice wouldn't disappear like before.

Still, Eiji actually knew this much about her? He even knew her name which not many people in Demon Realm knew about her identity. Eiji seemed to know from the original work, but what exactly was it? Liala did not understand.

"Hm?" Eiji looked at Liala with amusement. "Indeed... Although it's not that easy, I can indeed do it."

"Then Leo-kun―"

"Why would I do that? Revive your little brother? We're not even that close. Technically, we're enemies and come from different factions."

[Although I initially felt sorry for Liala in this plot; her attitude made me reluctant to help. What the hell? Do you think I'm going to lick you and nod to give you what you want just because you're so pretty?]

You don't?

Since childhood Liala has always been confident in her looks, all men can't help but be attracted to her, even her younger brother is in love with her.

[There are many beautiful women in the world, the women in my harem too... In terms of appearance, they are no less than Liala. The female protagonist Bella, even though she is crooked is also actually no less than Liala in beauty.]

[So someone, tell me, why should I hang myself on Liala's tree? This woman is a sick, brocon who thinks about her younger brother's penis. I honestly don't understand, why would Liala even fall for Leohart? Just because he's the only guy she played house with when she was little? How cute.]

[This kind of plot... How many times have I seen it in novels? In short no, I'm only here to prevent Bella's female protagonist from dying because she's still useful to me.]

"You..."

Liala was starting to doubt her charm, but more than that she was really annoyed because this was the first time a guy had mocked her to this extent.

Liala had already decided, even if Eiji didn't want to, she just needed to force him!

"Since you don't want to, Onee-chan just needs to force you to do it!"

Liala's angel wings turned into scythes again and her figure quickly appeared in front of Eiji. Liala had no intention of killing Eiji because she had something she wanted from him; but that didn't mean she couldn't torture him, cut his body and make him beg for―

*Slap!*

Under the dumbfounded gaze of Bella, and Liala whose cheeks were currently stinging and whose body was thrown into the ruins of the castle.

Eiji slapped Liala's face!

As for Liala's attack? It hit Eiji, but I don't know what the man's body was made of because Liala's scythe that was able to cut through mountains and space bounced off when it touched him. In that moment, Eiji casually but very quickly in the eyes of the two women ― he slapped Liala's right cheek.

At this moment, Liala had a red handprint on her beautiful face. The woman looked at Eiji who slowly descended to the ground and walked to her direction with a blank stare.

No idea what Liala was thinking, but this was definitely the first time someone dared to slap her face.

And it was done by a man!

"Sigh... You think I don't dare hit women? Liala, you made a bad choice. There were obviously other options you could have chosen like begging me, but you chose to force me? What a bad choice you made..."

Eiji stood right in front of the kneeling Liala and looked at her beautiful face that was slowly distorted by madness as if it would eat him alive.

Eiji looked down on the woman.

"Eiji Seiya, how dare, how dare you...! You hit Onee-chan in the face! You hit me, you slapped me! Touching me like this, you clearly want to die! Only Leo-kun can touch me...!"

Liala roared, her aura exploding to an even more terrifying level than before. The ground beneath their feet shattered and lifted into the air. Her eyes turned red and a halo appeared again above her head. In such close proximity, she was very confident of killing Eiji.

But―

"That's it? All of it?" Eiji said while ignoring the chaotic space around him. His own body was enveloped in a red and black aura that was faint but enough to keep him unaffected by the power Liala released.

If it was anyone else, many of them would already be dead and their bodies destroyed from being eroded by the dark and holy elements that worked somewhat like the Power of Destruction. Even Bella, the female protagonist hurriedly flew over two kilometers because the power Liala released had such a long range!

The ruins of castles, cities and surrounding mountains had even vanished in the process.

In the history of Demon Lords and Demon Gods in the Demon Realm, none of them were as powerful as Liala who could easily create this much destruction in one fell swoop ― and Eiji knew Liala had not yet reached her limit.

What exactly was Liala? She was also not just a demon with the appearance of a goddess and angel wings on her back. The original work didn't explain much about this because the author didn't even make Liala a heroine and paired her with a man like Leohart.

Eiji didn't know, but Bella seemed to know something?

{This is it! This power! Although not as strong as I was in my prime. Liala definitely has a lot of room to grow and that's why I wanted her so badly before. After all, when else do you have a woman who's a mix of a demon and an angel?}

{More precisely, from what I know after reading the light novel until volume EX 7}

No... Didn't the novel version only reach volume 13 and was already finished? There is indeed an EX volume, but in his previous life it was still one volume.

Then Eiji remembered, Bella came from another version of Earth. As Miss System once said, there were many worlds in the multiverse and although some were similar ― they were different versions of the others.

And the franchise plot here has also been changed by Miss System's acquaintance. It was not impossible that the Liala who was now staring at her in disbelief was different from the one she knew.

{Liala is not a demon, nor is she an angel, if I'm not mistaken she should be called Seraphellians. Not much is explained either because the author doesn't want to go into too much detail, but Liala is an atavism ― not that her parents are demons and angels, they're all demons. But she has a bloodline that probably originated from her ancestors in whose generation that bloodline was fully awakened.}

{By the way Eiji who is fine and looks relaxed while standing near Liala is also a monster! I don't know what that guy's body is made of.}

{He looks fine that's good... Mm? No, no, what was I thinking?!}

Seraphellians huh? Putting aside Liala who just found out what her race was.

Eiji was more curious if this female protagonist was slowly getting a little straight? Whatever it was, it really didn't matter. The reason why Bella was still alive until now was also because the knowledge of the plot was different from his. Without the woman, Eiji knew he would probably miss the details of Liala being captured by the Demon Council ― even with his Future Insight. Just in case, he still had to preserve the woman's life until this modified arc was completed.

Eiji looked at Liala who also just realized the gap between them after seeing that he was fine.

"Why, why can't Onee-chan hurt you? This is cheating..." Liala bit her lip, Eiji's slap marks on her face had disappeared thanks to her releasing her true power.

But even with all that, she was unable to hurt Eiji.

Instead of looking at Eiji with hatred like before, Liala felt hopeless and sad that she couldn't revive her younger brother. This made the brocon yandere's eyes water and seemed to want to cry.

Eiji clicked his tongue. Liala couldn't hurt him because of the obvious power difference and she called him a cheat? Dua also looked like she was going to cry?

Woman, you're the one who cheated.

Even so, Eiji stayed true to his original plan and said.

"I'm sure you already know the answer. I think we're done here."

"You don't want to kill me?" Liala asked, her halo had disappeared and her eyes were turning blue again.

On the other side, Eiji still looked fine and looked at her with an indifferent gaze. Isn't she beautiful? What's with that stare!

Liala clenched her fists, she felt very frustrated at the man in front of her. Liala didn't realize it, but she had lost her killing intent and looked at Eiji with a complicated look.

Then, she heard―

[Killing Liala? Although she dared to attack me with killing intent before... Forget it, I'll let it go for this time. Only this time.]

[It's definitely not because I'm weak to the tears of a woman as beautiful as Liala. I admit I'm attracted to her, but this woman is so obsessed with her younger brother.]

[So what if I revive Leohart? After which Liala would just thank me and leave? Now that I realize it, isn't that too poisonous? It's disgusting to the point that I'd rather let Leohart fuse with the ground forever.]

"Forget it." Eiji shook his head, and threw something at Liala.

Liala naturally caught the small object and it turned out to be a jewel-shaped magical device that people in the Demon Realm usually used to display videos.

"This..."

"It's the CCTV footage that captured Leohart and Belphegor's battle scene. I originally planned to use that to convince people that it wasn't the Moderate Faction that killed the Demon Council leader just in case."

Eiji continued, "I gave you a copy to convince you that me and that woman, Bella had nothing to do with Leohart's death."

"....." Liala was silent, she was actually thinking about what Eiji said in her heart. She looked at the recording in her hand and then transferred magic to it. Incidentally, this was a magic device of the type that directly transferred videos/images to the user's brain and the process would be short.

"Ah...I forgot to mention that there is a bit of a disgusting scene in there. In addition to liking beautiful women, Belphegor also liked handsome men, so before Belphegor was successfully killed and exploded. At that time Leohart was overwhelmed and there was a bit of an accident... Your younger brother has actually been stabbed once in... Looks like it's too late."

Eiji grinned, this was genuine, no fabrication at all because in the original work ― Belphegor who saw Basara pretending to faint had also commented that Basara was handsome. Unfortunately at that time he was caught off guard and Basara managed to kill him using Brynhildr. Otherwise, Basara might have experienced the same thing as Leohart.

Liala's face paled, although it wasn't too obvious because the camera was far away, her younger brother was already dirty...

[I wonder if Liala still loves her younger brother that much now? Do you still want to bring him back to life? The latter is actually not impossible as long as Liala is willing to be my woman.]

Bella who happened to have approached Eiji and Liala heard their conversation, she looked at Eiji with admiration.

Previously Bella herself was actually not sure how to persuade Liala to forget her younger brother. But Eiji has such a trick? As a person who had picked up many beautiful girls in the world before, how could she not see the trick Eiji was playing!

Bella certainly wanted to say something, but Eiji glanced at her and looked at her with a faint smile. Although Bella didn't want to admit she was momentarily dazed and her heartbeat became abnormal when that happened ― Bella knew she couldn't beat Eiji now and felt the man wouldn't hesitate to hurt her harder than ever if she bothered him in this situation.

Despite Bella's reluctance, the man's cruel gaze scared her and was actually a little excited?

...

Several kilometers away from Eiji's location, the battle was still going on.

In addition to being frightened, many demons were also actually amazed by the strength that Mio's group showed. Tsubaki unleashed numerous copies of her Mirror Alice citywide and fired at the hundreds of Heroic Spirits summoned by Chaos. If it was her before, she wouldn't have been able to go this far, but after exercising with Eiji yesterday ― there was a red tattoo hidden on her neck.

Akeno summoned numerous holy lightning bolts from the sky and easily destroyed dozens of Heroic Spirits in a single strike, she continued to do so as much as she could.

Maria transformed into her adult form, but unlike before, her physical strength and magic were stronger and she could do so indefinitely ― a single blow from her was enough to destroy a single Heroic Spirit.

Kurumi summoned many darkness spirits to blow up the Heroic Spirits scattered in the city, Zest also did the same with the hundreds of giant golems she summoned.

Yuki? She did not use her Sakuya sword, and replaced it with the Sword of Four Seasons ― making her hero outfit change into a tight blue aftermath wrapped in golden armor that covered her shoulders and legs ― this was a type of light armor. But compared to her previous armor, her powers are now in another league; especially her sword which now glows golden and easily cuts through all the Chaos tentacles capable of reaching half the city. In addition to the light attribute, her sword can also unleash other equally powerful attributes such as fire, ice and wind.

Rias and Sona too, both entered their combat modes. Rias with her PoD drill and Sona with her Water Dragon God spear had until now easily blasted Chaos many times over.

Basara was even stronger than the original work, at least at this point he could already materialize his armor. The Banishing Shift that he released was red in color.

Mio in her Demon Queen form was able to push Chaos back many times. Actually her group managed to defeat Chaos, especially with the leader of the Moderate Faction ― Ramusas who arrived at the scene and helped seal Chaos' movements with his gravity magic so that the others could attack the creature easily.

However, this Chaos is like an immortal being! Even when pushed into the zero dimension by Basara's Banishing Shift ― the creature was able to come out of there and show its current form that somehow resembled a black dragon with eleven heads that reached 70 meters tall!

The creature's power was getting stronger and the group had been pushed several times. The girls were fine because they had insurance like an automatic magic barrier that Eiji had somehow given them. In the past, Eiji had said something about this.

Even so―

"Pfft!" Basara was unlucky, his current form was still weighing on him.

Although Basara could still keep his consciousness from being replaced by the rampaging Brynhildr, blood began to gush from the gaps in his armor.

"Jin's son, you should not exert yourself."

The one who said that was Ramusas whose appearance was only slightly worse than Basara's because he was also injured from being almost hit by the black flame attack Chaos fired.

"No, Mio and the others are also still fighting. I can't stop here... I have to help them!"

A protagonist aura emanated from Basara, normally this would make people admire. But now? Ramusas just shook his head and focused on his gravity magic that tried to restrain Chaos' movement in the ruins that were originally a stadium.

Actually at this moment, he knew his territory, the city of Wildart was also being attacked by the Heroic Spirits summoned by Chaos. But he was worried about his daughter, Mio and helped her group on the grounds that Chaos should not be allowed out of Lundvall and should be stopped here and now.

In addition, according to Lucia who was exterminating the Heroic Spirit that attacked the city of Wildart with Sheila. There were also Jin Toujou helping and strangely some girls dressed in all black who were very strong according to Lucia.

Ramusas didn't know who those people were, but he was relieved and now he focused on Mio and the other girls fighting with Chaos. The power of those girls also actually surprised him.

But—

"Where's Eiji? At a time like this, he..."

Before his father-in-law could complain, the black clouds that had previously covered the center of the city suddenly blew away until all the people and Chaos were illuminated by the sun.

Everyone naturally raised their heads and was stunned. Above the sky, bigger than Chaos.

There was a gigantic figure with transparent armor and wings that shone with a reddish light. If people could look more clearly at the giant's head, they could see a person standing inside.
