*FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

Sirzechs was completely engulfed by a giant golden red beam. The beam made a sound that was extremely menacing. It sounded like it was made to destroy.

There was a blinding light that engulfed the arena for a while. Everyone was shocked at what just happened. They still can't process this fight happening in the first place.

The light died down, revealing Sirzechs slowly getting up from his crater that he was blasted into.

Issei was also on the ground. Everyone can't tell but he's dead exhausted right now. From the Fusion of Michael's and Elohim's blood to harmonizing the Angel and Devil sides in him.

They walked towards each other silently. They stopped as they were a few steps away from each other. Issei looked down at Sirzechs who looked at him.

Sirzechs was extremely bloody. A few chunks of his flesh was completely erased. A large part of his clothes were the same. Sirzechs was on his last legs.

"Good fight, Issei... It's the most fun I've had this month... " Sirzechs whispered weakly before dropping down to the ground, falling unconscious. Issei stared at him with a tired gaze.

"Thanks man..." Issei whispered back. Meanwhile with Azazel, he was baffled. Issei just won, he won against Sirzechs.

"Holy shit....." A man muttered. He was a bewitchingly beautiful and attractive young man appearing in his early twenties, with light blue eyes and green hair that is slicked back. He has a mysterious aura around him which he claims makes him seem devilish.

This man is Ajuka Beelzebub, formerly known as Ajuka Astaroth. He is the Chief Advisor for the Technology Department and the creator of the Evil Pieces system and the Rating Game. He is also the former heir to the Astaroth Clan and comes from the branch family of the Astaroth Clan.

He is Sirzechs' best friend and equal to him in strength. Could you imagine having to witness your best friend who is all powerful and the strongest of his kind, getting defeated so easily in everyone's point of view? No one could even begin to imagine that.

Ajuka looked at Issei. "He's on his last legs too. He's only conscious right now because of a massive adrenaline rush. Guess fusion does take a toll on him. Interesting...." Ajuka analyzed.

" WI-WINNER!!! ISSEI HYOUDOU!!!!!!! "

Azazel declared loudly, everyone could hear the hint of disbelief in his voice. No one clapped for Issei, they were simply too stunned to do anything.

Issei didn't care for the applause, he was too tired. He closed his eyes and let the sleep take over him. Everyone saw him drop to the ground like Sirzechs did. Azazel panicked and looked at the medical team on standby behind him. They were in a daze too.

"Oi! Don't just stand there idiots!!! Get them to the hospital!!!!"

" Y-yes sir!!!! "

Issei was currently sleeping in a hospital bed. He had a patient gown on and he had machines all around.

He suddenly twitched a little. The twitching became shaking as he gripped the edge of the bed.

The ground around him started shaking violently as the machines started compressing by themselves.

Issei growled as he slowly sat up. He looked around him and saw that he was releasing a lot of power.

"Oh shit." Issei cursed and closed his eyes. He started breathing calmly in order to control the power he was releasing.

One things called down, Issei sighed in relief and looked at his hands. He felt the immense power in him. It was immense, he felt like he could conquer the world with it.

"Uncle Ben used to say with great power comes great responsibility. Well, he didn't know what power was." Issei whispered.

" Well, what a nice way to wake someone up."

Issei looked at the person who talked to him. It was Sirzechs and he was lying on his own hospital bed with the gown on and all that.

"Sirzechs? Are you alright?" Issei asked him. Sirzechs chuckled and nodded.

"Hehe. I can do better. We've been out for a couple of days, I woke up because of you releasing your power. So yeah, we definitely can do better. " Sirzechs answered. Issei sighed.

" When you said we need to commit to this. I didn't know how much. I guess that fight showed how much commitment we had to kill each other. " Issei muttered.

" Hey, I don't hate you at all for defeating me. Sure I'm salty but it just comes with losing. As a matter of fact, it's just shows that everyone can continue to grow no matter their circumstances. " Sirzechs replied.

" You're goddamn right. " Issei grinned and laid against the soft pillow behind him. They enjoyed a comfortable silence.

"So what now?" Issei asked suddenly. Sirzechs looked at him while lying back on the bed.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean exactly what I said."

"Ah right, that promise I made if you won. Issei Hyoudou, I, Sirzechs Lucifer, bestow you with the position of Ultimate-Class Devil. The highest honor a devil could ever have. Use it well. " Sirzechs declared. Issei bowed his head.

" Thank you Sirzechs. But this isn't exactly what I had in mind when you bestow me this grand position. " Issei and Sirzechs shared a chuckle.

" You will receive your own territory now. You also now can have your own peerage. Exciting isn't it?" Sirzechs smiled at Issei who brightened up after hearing he can have his own peerage.

"I figured ut will interest you. But you will have to go through a ceremony. It is called the High-Class Devil Promotion Ceremony, where Devils who became high-class or ultimate class devils go through to officially become one. " Sirzechs explained. Issei nodded.

" I'll definitely do that. It's tradition right? "

" Yes it is. All devils or reincarnated devils who attained those ranks go through that."

" Huh, sounds nice.... " Issei whispered.

" You know, the Underworld could use people like you on our side. You have all the qualities of a leader. " Sirzechs commented. Issei looked at him weirdly.

" What? You want me to replace you as Lucifer or something? " Issei asked him. Sirzechs laughed.

" No no. You might, but it's not gonna happen soon. I'm saying you are a blessing to the Underworld. You can be the ambassador of the Underworld. "

" So like Serafall?"

" Almost. You will represent the Underworld like a diplomat. Serafall despite being in charge of the Underworld's Foreign Affairs, can't be there all the time. Despite her goofing around, she has a lot of important duties to perform." Sirzechs explained. Issei nodded.

" Sure, I can do that. If it means uniting all of the factions together then I'm all for it. " Issei decided then and there.

" You'll face some opposition. But you'll get through them. You do need some lessons in politics and the subjects related to it though for you to be competent enough for the position. Are you up for the challenge?" Sirzechs looked at Issei in the eyes. Issei smirked and nodded.

" I'm always up for a challenge. Bring it on, Sirzechs...
