Meaningless

As he had said before, Riser had come to the headquarters of Grigori. 

Even though he didn't know where the location was, as long as he used his "Location" ability, he could tell where the destination was. 

Then, everything was easy. 

Frankly, while this ability didn't help much in the battle, there was no doubt that it was extremely useful. 

Still, as expected, as he had decided to raze over Grigori, he wanted to win.

The first impression was the most important thing. 

If he appeared unremarkable, playing the pig, eating the tiger, he would be at a disadvantage at first. 

Nevertheless, due to that, he could imagine that he would be beaten, so it would increase his power dramatically due to the "Crisis." 

Yet, Riser had enough of being beaten.

While being beaten made him stronger, he still felt pain. 

Moreover, he wasn't a masochist!

—or should he train his body into a masochist body with the help of Akeno?

Nevertheless, like how he did in "Rating Game," he had to enter with a bang, so he transformed into a phoenix and used his "Command T" to make his size bigger. 

Grigori's cadres aside, could others even have the courage to face him?

[No matter how you struggle, everything is meaningless.]

[In front of an overwhelming power, your existence is just an ant.]

[Depending on what you will do to the fallen angels, you will get different rewards.]

"....." 

It's strange. 

[What's so strange?]

Are you going to teach me again?

[Maybe I am, or maybe I am not. But it doesn't feel bad to get more rewards, right?]

That's true. 

[It's just...]

Is it just?

[Never mind, I know that you can do it. Do your best.]

"...." 

How weird. 

Yet, Riser knew that he needed to do his best, especially when he decided to charge forward to the Grigori. 

"NO ONE IS GOING TO SAVE YOU NOW! I WILL KILL YOU!" 

Riser suddenly thought about what had happened in the East Youkai Faction and whether he should do something similar.

Still, as expected, after a momentary shock due to his words, everyone seemed to recover, yet it was impossible to fully erase their fear. 

Until—

"I WON'T LET YOU DESTROY THE GRIGORIIIII! EVERYONE STAND UP WITH ME! PROTECT EVERYONE!" 

A man with a muscular physique and a wildish beard appeared as he spread his ten fallen angel's wings. He wore armor, a helm, an eye patch, and a cape, wielding a shield in his left hand and an axe in his right, with his helm and shield both having a motif of an eagle or a hawk. 

"Armaros-sama!" 

"Stand up, everyone!" 

"Protect Grigori!" 

Due to the appearance of Armaros, everyone also regained their courage and started to attack Riser. 

---

"Stupid!" 

Azazel panicked when he saw Armaros had attacked Riser. He knew how ridiculous his decision to protect Vali was, yet when he thought about Riser's words, how could he give up Vali?

Azazel had given his everything to protect Vali, so how could he give him up?

Yet, facing Riser, this mighty devil, Azazel knew how stupid it was and the best way to give up their resistance, but—

"He isn't stupid. He has the courage to protect everyone." Baraqiel looked at Azazel in disappointment. "Azazel, where is your courage? Everyone's life depends on us! If we don't show our courage now, how can we protect everyone? Do you want everyone to become the slaves of the Devil?" 

"That's..." 

When Azazel thought about the consequences if they really bowed their heads to the devil, his expression became ugly. 

If all the devils had a personality like Sirzech, then the world would be peaceful as Sirzech's head was full of flowers garden, but Azazel knew that wasn't the case. 

The reason why the devil is called a devil is due to their evil personality. 

If they really gave up, then—

Yet, when Azazel thought about Riser's power, could they really defeat him?

When Azazel fell in silence, Baraqiel knew that he couldn't wait for Azazel. "Sahariel! Prepare for that!" 

"Yes, Baraqiel!" 

"Everyone, let's work together! Show him the power of the fallen angels!" 

"Yes!" 

Due to Baraqiel's words, no one cowered in fear as the continuation of their race was decided in this battle. 

No matter what, they had to win! 

Whether it was for themselves, their comrades, family, descendants, or many others, in this battle, they had to give their everything!

As everyone soared to the sky, trying to fight Riser, Azazel couldn't stop them and fell into a dilemma as he wished them to win, yet he was also afraid of the consequences of angering Riser. 

---

Watching all the fallen angels who had started to attack him, Riser fell in silence. 

"DIE!" 

"ATTACK HIM WITH THE LIGHT!" 

"HE IS A DEVIL! THERE IS NO NEED TO BE AFRAID OF HIM! OUR LIGHT IS WORKING!" 

Riser watched all of them attack him at the same time, giving their everything. No one was holding back, and all of them tried to kill him. 

Suddenly, he felt that he had become a monster on the Kaijuu monster or an Ultraman show. Nevertheless, the reality wasn't a movie. There wasn't a hero who would come out to save them when they were in crisis. 

Still, he thought that the number of the fighters of the fallen angels was rather small. 

Yet, he had to say, the appearance of many spears of lights shooting into him was amazing. 

Still, facing all of this attack, he didn't do anything. 

He just accepted all of their attacks without doing anything, staring at them in silence.

He might not say anything, and when his size was tens of kilometers, it was horrifying when he said nothing. Moreover, his gesture of accepting all of their attacks without blinking made them desperate. 

"Keep attacking! Keep attacking!" 

"Don't stop!" 

"If we stop, then we will lose our family!" 

All the cadres and all fallen angels gave their all until suddenly, a giant cannon emerged from the headquarters of the Grigori. 

"Give way! Give way!" 

Sahariel, the researcher on the moon, prepared the secret weapon that the Grigori had created. 

Everyone quickly gave way to the cannon, and Sahariel didn't hesitate to shoot the cannon. 

"Shoot!" 

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!*

An enormous beam of light was shot and swallowed Riser. 

Even though Riser's body was tens of kilometers in size, the beam of light had swallowed him whole. 

Due to their limited numbers and their research hobby, Azazel and many others created many things, and their ideal was to combine the supernatural and technology. 

The Moon Cannon was their creation. 

By using all the energy within the city, the blast of the beam of light was shot. 

Even Maou, the strongest being among the devil, might disappear without a trace as they were shot by this cannon. 

Nevertheless, while this cannon was powerful, it had a lot of limitations. 

First, the size was too huge. 

Second, it took too much energy, so it could only be shot once before it needed to be recharged. 

Third, was there someone who would be stupid enough to receive this cannon without dodging it?

Moreover, with the small body of the Maou, how could they be hit?

This was also the reason why this cannon was only placed within the main city of the Grigori, and it wouldn't be used until it was a critical moment. After all, the aftermath of this weapon would definitely cause an ugly scene of it being shot within the city. Fortunately, Riser was flying, so everything should be okay, right?

They thought that everything was over. 

Riser should have died due to that attack, yet— 

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!*

An enormous Demonic Power swept over everyone like a typhoon. 

Their bodies froze from fear as they saw Riser, who was still floating over the sky as he was overlooking them menacingly. 

"I see... this is your answer, huh? Then, die." 

Riser's body suddenly shone even brighter, like the blue star in the sky. 

"Burst Regalia." 

At that moment, they thought everything was over.

As you have noticed, in chapter 154, it wasn't Yubelluna who was with Riser, but I changed it to her since I am afraid of trouble. Anyway, that's it. Thank you for your understanding.
