There is no way that it is him, right?

At the end of his ceremony and speech, a party was held. 

Nevertheless, many ladies and families felt regret as Riser had married, which made them sigh in regret. 

Still, among all the Maous, the only one who had married was Riser and Sirzech, who had passed away. 

As for Serafall, Falbium, and Ajuka, everyone was single. 

Still, with Riser's conduct, even if they became his mistress, they didn't mind, so it was also due to this that Sona, Ravel, and all of his women worked together to protect him as there were too many succubuses that tried to seduce him at this moment. 

Facing many seductions around him, Riser remained calm, showing his title of Lucifer not for nothing. 

Not only a housewife, he had experienced many types of women. 

Riser was no longer that of a chic who didn't know anything. 

Even if they tried to seduce him, it was meaningless. 

Hmph!

If you want to seduce me, you should search for a quieter place! 

Frankly, compared to a virgin like Rias, who had always met him alone in a deserted place, Riser felt like they were all amateurs. 

Nevertheless, there was no doubt he faced happy trouble.

"Diehauser, come on. Let's apologize to Riser-sama." Lord Bellial felt that they needed to apologize once again, especially when Diehauser had made Riser angry previously. If Riser was just Riser Phenex, he felt it was okay, but who would have thought Riser would become a Riser Lucifer?

Moreover, Riser had the support of two gigantic factions on his back. 

Facing such a behemoth, Lord Bellial felt that they needed to be careful instead of sorry. His son might be the champion, but that's it. After all, the "Rating Game" was nothing but just a game in the eyes of upper-class society, and due to the previous "Devil Civil War," the Bellial House wasn't seen in good eyes. The reason why their family could stand up in this place was all due to his son. 

Nevertheless, facing Riser, their son's achievement and power were meaningless. 

Being urged by his father, Diehauser was in silence. He didn't say anything. He didn't show a rejection nor an agreement, but as he was pulled, he felt every one of his steps was heavy as if their destination was an abyss, a place with no return.

"I am surprised by your brother-in-law, Serafall." 

Falbium expressed his opinion about Riser, especially after that speech. To be honest, unlike Ajuka, who had a prejudice, he didn't make his opinion about Riser and kept a cool-headed attitude, especially when they weren't enemies. Moreover, wasn't it normal for Riser to be hostile to Sirzech after his engagement was interrupted several times?

If Riser wasn't strong enough, then he could only become the shame of the Phenex House as he lost to the trouble caused by Sirzech. 

Still, with the conflict between Riser and Sirzech, Falbium thought that Riser was a hasty, impatient, and rash individual, but that didn't seem to be the case. 

"It seems that I can work with him well." 

If there was someone who hated the "Khaos Brigade" the most among the Four Great Satans, there was no doubt it was Falbium, especially when the heir of his house was killed by this terrorist. 

If they could stop and destroy this terrorist organization, he would be more than happy, especially when Riser seemed to be so trustworthy.

"Right~? Right~?" Serafall was happy to hear Falbium's opinion. "Riser-chan is amazing~!" 

"The amazing one is your brother-in-law, okay? Not you." Falbium muttered in a low voice but was ignored by Serafall. 

"Anyway, Falbium-chan, Ajuka-chan, please take care of him, okay? Don't bully him, okay~! We... have lost Sirzech-chan, so this time, we can't lose anyone again. Like what he had said before, we had a duty to protect this peace and the future of the devils." 

"That's what I will do." Falbium nodded with a solemn attitude. 

"Ajuka-chan?" Serafall looked at Ajuka, who had been silent. 

"Of course. I will." Ajuka responded with a gentle smile, but then his heart was far from calm. At this moment, at this place, everyone was full of smiles. They were full of confidence in their new Lucifer, forgetting their previous Lucifer. Yet, he also understood, especially after he heard Riser's speech. When he heard Riser's speech, his heart wavered, wondering how such a young man could be involved in the killing of Sirzech. 

Yet, when everyone was happy, calm, and optimistic, Ajuka knew that he needed to be rational and thought of the worst. 

What if everything was just an act?

What if everything was just the plot devised by this young man?

What if...?

If all of his thoughts were correct, then Ajuka knew Riser was someone to be fearsome with as Riser could stay on the light, being basked by worshipped of many even after the devious things which he had done. 

Nevertheless, Ajuka didn't have proof that Riser was really involved. Instead, it might be someone else's plot to make him feel suspicious of Riser. 

However, Ajuka's plan had never been to plot Riser by supporting him into a new Lucifer. 

Instead, he wished to pull Vali out of his hiding place, beating the hell out of him, pulling all the memories inside his brain, finding out what was really happening, and then kill him along with everyone who was involved in the killing of Sirzech as he was sure that there was more than one person that was involved in this act of atrocity. 

Similarly, Riser, who was at the center of the venue, noticed the gazes on his back. They were subtle and almost impossible to detect, but as he was sensitive to his well-being and safety, he could notice their gazes, and due to this, as he talked with a smile to everyone, he had already devised a plan to dispose of those who were hostile toward him.

In various parts of the world, not only the devil but the angel, fallen angel, and all other supernatural beings watched the coronation of Riser Phenex to become Riser Lucifer. To be honest, this surprised everyone as they didn't expect to get the new Lucifer as soon as Sirzech passed away. 

Then, at that moment, all the world's focus was on him, especially after they heard his speech. It was amazing that the devil wished for peace, and it was because of this they tried to search all the information of Riser as they needed to know the new Lucifer. 

Nevertheless, heaven was glad that the new Lucifer was a decent devil. 

"It's great that he is the new Lucifer." Michael was happy as he could see that Riser wholeheartedly wished for peace and thought the success of this alliance between the three factions would significantly boost everyone's morale and power. 

Gabriel stared at Riser's profile for a moment, then asked, "Michael, can I meet the new Lucifer?" 

"Eh?"

---

The fallen angel. 

All of them fell in silence and wondered which was the real him, but as they knew that he wished for peace, they felt relief as the future of the fallen angel was definitely stable as long as they followed Riser's wish. 

However, Azazel and the Slash Dog Team, who were suspicious of Riser, strangely fell into silence. 

With such a righteous personality, could Riser be someone who would be involved in such an atrocity?

If Riser was acting, Azazel would be able to watch it immediately, but he could see that those words came from the depths of Riser's heart, which made him feel conflicted and confused, wondering who was the real him.

---

Somewhere in the place that no one knew, the headquarters of the Khaos Brigade existed. 

At this moment, all the factions watched the coronation of Riser as Lucifer, and all of them fell in silence until their hands clenched tightly due to Riser's mocking. 

Hiding? 

Run away?

Praying like a pious believer?

"Those bastards of the new government?!" 

"How dare they?! How dare they?!" 

"How long are they going to play house?! Before it was the Gremory, and now it is the Phenex?!"

"How long are they going to mock us, the real descendant of the True Maou!" 

All the members of the Old Satan faction who had joined the Khaos Brigades, especially the cadres, were full of rage. 

"Rivezim, what do you think? As the descendant of the true Lucifer, are you not feeling anything?" 

"Hm? Not really." 

Watching Rivezim's disinterested expression, everyone grumbled, but they had gotten used to Rivezim's personality, so they didn't say anything. However, as they discussed their countermeasures and planned to destroy the current society of the Underworld, Rivezim turned his attention to Riser once again. His eyes flickered for a moment, and he smiled, thinking everything would be interesting.
