Who deceived whom?

"Euclid, your face looks gloomy. Didn't go well?" Rizevim looked at the silver-haired youth who had just returned to the base with amusement.

"Rizevim-sama, sorry to keep you waiting." Euclid did not show it on his face, on the surface he was still smiling faintly as usual. Everyone there didn't feel anything wrong, only Rizevim immediately realized he was in a bad mood due to being rejected by his older sister.

"We don't need to hold back. Unless we, Eiji and all those who stand in the way of our plans deserve to be sacrificed."

"Hahaha! Euclid, I'm glad you said that. But don't worry, it's not like you won't get what you want any other way, right?"

"Rizevim-sama, you mean..."

Rizevim smiled, but his eyes were not smiling which made Euclid shudder. "Listen, Euclid. And you who are here. Devils are beings that have to be evil, wicked, brutal, bad, trashy, wrong, rude, and vicious. If you can't get something, get what you want at all costs."

Not only Euclid, the other devils from the Old Satan Faction such as Creuserey Asmodeus and Shalba Beelzebub nodded slightly at what Rizevim said.

The other factions or groups affiliated with Khaos Bridge did not speak. Although the inside of this organization was split into several Factions, all of them were people like the Hero Faction led by Cao Cao, the Magician Group led by Euclid, the Vali Team led by Vali himself. Except for the last one, the others had goals that were almost in line with Khaos Bridge which was actually led by the figure of the little girl sitting at the end of the table―that girl was the leader of Khaos Bridge, one of the two strongest Dragon Gods in the world, the Infinite Dragon God, Ouroborus Dragon, Ophis!

"...."

But even Ophis whose only goal was to defeat the other Dragon Gods who usurped her residence. She and the others had no idea what Rizevim's true goal was.

After slightly lecturing Euclid and the other devils. Rizevim looked at the people from the other factions in this organization.

"Is it finished? I don't want to waste my time just to hear your lecture, Rizevim." Vali folded his hands and looked at Rizevim calmly, there was also a cold light hidden in his eyes. Sitting beside him were Bikou, Arthur, Le Fay and Kuroka.

But put that aside. How could Rizevim not notice Vali's cold gaze? Even so, he would not make a big deal of it. Before the other party showed their true colors, he would use that boy and his group as his tools.

"Vali-kun, don't rush to leave. I told you all to gather because our leader, Ophis wanted me to convey the next plan. This time our organization is really going to make a big move in the world, so listen to me carefully."

"...." Ophis.

"...." Everyone looked at Ophis who had her usual blank stare before looking at Rizevim.

In fact everyone in the organization knew Ophis was just a puppet leader whose name they used to scare other Factions and Mythologies in the supernatural world. Due to the Infinite Dragon God's single―minded personality of defeating Great Red, the other Dragon Gods that suited their purpose-they also utilized that creature's power such as requesting Ophis' Serpent that could increase their power.

Then who is the real leader of the Khaos Brigde?

Everyone here knew it was the Qlippoth Faction leader, Rizevim who was now speaking like a leader. The people from the other Factions affiliated with the Khaos Brigde were originally against that man of course, but after knowing Rizevim's strength and the power behind the Faction he led. They all reluctantly agreed to let that man become the true leader of the Khaos Brigde.

"Then do it quickly." Vali snorted, he ended up sitting there anyway because he was also curious about what Rizevim was planning.

Rizevim also didn't want to waste any more time and began to explain the plan he had prepared. The plan would divide them into groups. And not only the human world, they would also target the Underworld and Heaven. Even though they knew that by doing this, Khaos Bridge was tantamount to declaring war on the recently formed Five Great Factions Alliance.

Rizevim did not forget to say a little consolation that calling the Five Great Factions Alliance was wrong, the correct one was the Four Great Factions because Greek Mythology secretly wanted to defect from the Alliance and the leader of that mythology stated that he would help them.

The people were slightly relieved that at least the obstacle in their plan was reduced by one, but heard the details of Rizevim's plan. Many people in the organization were excited that this day had finally come!

"Are there any questions?" Rizevim was also a little excited now, he was in such a good mood that he nodded kindly at Cao Cao who raised his hand.

"Before we deal with Great Red, in the process we will also kill Eiji, right?" Cao Cao's question made Kuroka narrow her eyes at the man.

The other members of the organization also looked at the man and they all certainly knew who Eiji was. It was Eiji Seiya! Human, no... Maybe a demon? They weren't sure but certainly that person was very popular these days because he had killed one of the main Greek gods, Poseidon. A few days ago, there was also news from Asgard that Eiji managed to defeat the God of Thunder Thor in a duel witnessed by the people of Asgard.

For a young man like Eiji who is under 20 years old. That record was of course incredible and many people including all of them here realized Eiji's potential was too terrifying that many of them were in favor of killing the boy.

"Yes, that boy is also a big rock standing in our way and we should certainly destroy him just in case. Do you know the leader of Greek Mythology, Zeus? That man holds a grudge against Eiji who killed his brother, Poseidon. He wants to take revenge on Eiji and that's why he wants to cooperate with us."

"Really? That's good." Cao Cao said that before continuing. "But Rizevim, I also have a grudge against that person. I want to be the one to deal with him. Of course, I know Eiji is very strong. So it's not just me and my group, I want you to lend some power on your side."

"Oh?" Rizevim was still smiling, and quickly nodded which slightly surprised Cao Cao and the others: "Okay, I'll give you. I happen to have something good from Hades. Just like his younger brother, the skull is also angry because of Poseidon's death."

Before Cao Cao could ask, Rizevim told everyone the details of what Hades had given him. Cao Cao and the others were surprised and felt the success of their plan was getting higher.

Cao Cao who was given certain coordinates by Rizevim was happy, he gave them to Georg because he could utilize the coordinates using his Dimension Lost ability.

"Now you just need to lure Eiji into a trap. That might be a bit difficult, can you do it, Cao Cao-kun?"

"Don't worry about that, Rizevim. Actually to lure Eiji into the trap, I'll leave that task to a woman from my group, Jeanne to trick that guy." Cao Cao looked confident as he said that.

Rizevim and the others were confused, but Euclid who had recently met the woman in question immediately asked. "So making Jeanne a maid serving Eiji is really part of your plan, Cao Cao? Not long ago I saw her with Grayfia. The two of them were shopping for groceries for dinner at that time."

"At first I thought that woman was a traitor for daring to expose my identity to Grayfia, but now.... Your companion is so good at acting, I was even fooled by her."

The few people there looked at Cao Cao with admiration, Cao Cao who felt everyone's gaze was actually confused because what Euclid said was clearly not in the plan he prepared. Jeanne was most likely improvising and that was good.

"That's why luring Eiji into a trap will be easy. So leave it to me."

Looking at Cao Cao who was very confident, Rizevim and the others did not say anything. But before this meeting was over, Rizevim glanced at Vali, or rather his group member.

"Vali-kun, wait a moment."

Vali who was about to get up from his seat frowned at Rizevim. "What else?"

Rizevim smiled slightly, his gaze fixed on Kuroka. "I just wanted to ask. Just like Cao Cao, did you also do the same thing with Kuroka?"

Cao Cao and the other faction members naturally turned to the woman. Kuroka who was being stared at by everyone was a little nervous inside.

"Doing the same thing?" Vali asked calmly.

Rizevim nodded. "There's no need to pretend. With the organization's intelligence how could I not know Kuroka was in contact with one of our targets, Eiji. According to the information she is one of his women."

"‒!"

"Isn't this bad? Everything we just talked about is leaking into the enemy's ears." Shalba looked at Kuroka coldly. His devil power was naturally leaking out.

The others were also the same, there was a lot of killing intent enveloping the room.

Vali and the rest of his team including Kuroka stood up. Each of them exuded a strong aura and were not easily intimidated.

Vali looked at Rizevim who seemed to enjoy seeing him in trouble. He was upset and wanted to kill the old man, but he restrained himself and said. "I can't hide it anymore, right?"

"Hehe Vali-kun, you're really going to admit it?"

"Yes, your guess is right. I deliberately sent Kuroka to seduce Eiji and become his woman. That way, I can get the latest information about him faster. I did it only because he defeated me in the past and to avenge my defeat... I need to know his weaknesses before fighting him again."

"...." The killing intent of Shalba and the others was stifled. they wondered if they had misunderstood?

"Really? Cao Cao is understandable because I know one of his group members died at Eiji's hands. He has enough grudge against Eiji that he sent Jeanne as a double agent."

"But Vali-kun, what about you? Did you do it just because of that?"

Vali was silent for a moment, he glanced at Kuroka and the woman snorted at Rizevim and the others.

"What a bunch of losers who panicked just because their plan was leaked. Are you guys really men, nyaa?"

"Bitch... What are you saying? You really want to die, don't you?" Not only Shalba, but some of the other members were also annoyed at what Kuroka said.

Kuroka ignored Shalba and those people and looked at Rizevim. "It wasn't Vali's idea to send me to Eiji. It was actually my own initiative, I approached that guy because he could help me to mend the relationship with my sister."

"More than that I'm just having fun with him. So don't worry about your plan being leaked, nyaa. I don't care if you want to kill Eiji."

Of course after Kuroka said that, everyone didn't believe her right away. Especially Shalba who was annoyed at that woman started to show his devil power again, many bees suddenly appeared from his body. This was one of the abilities of Shalba Beelzebub, King of Files that each of those little creatures could shoot out a large amount of magic. Shalba himself was a descendant of the original Beelzebub and an Ultimate Class Devil, so one could imagine how powerful he was as one of the leaders of the Old Satan Faction.

"A mere Nekomata dares to ignore me. Rizevim, this bitch must be a traitor! We must kill her! No, let me do it."

Thousands of bees covered the sky of the room and created many magic circles aimed at Kuroka, Vali and the rest of his team naturally immediately prepared for battle. Rizevim just stood by and watched, he didn't stop Shalba, even when Vali glared at him.

When many people thought Kuroka was dead for offending Shalba, before Vali and the others moved to help her. Kuroka waved her hand at Shalba, instantly black flames burned thousands of Shalba's bees and the man himself was now rolling on the floor.

Not only that, Shalba was also squealing like a pig as he struggled to put out the flames burning his body.

"....." Everyone including Rizevim who saw this fell silent. Many of them were dumbfounded because Kuroka could actually defeat a Devil like Shalba so easily? With a single attack?

Several magician and devils tried to extinguish the black flames burning Shalba alive with water magic. But no matter how much they doused the man's body. The black flames were hard to extinguish!

"Hot! It's hot! Ah!!! Rizevim, anyone. Quickly put out this damn fire!!!"

Shalba roared, the armor he was wearing was melting at high speed under the extreme temperature of the black flames and his body was literally being roasted right now. If the fire on his body was not extinguished immediately, the man would die.

"Kuroka, right? Can you put out the fire on Shalba-kun's body?" Rizevim didn't really care if Shalba died, after all the man was also just one of his tools and his death wouldn't affect his plans. But he still had to ask Kuroka about this for the sake of his leader's image in everyone's eyes.

Kuroka looked at Shalba and then Rizevim with disgust. "How about no? He wanted to kill me before. I can't kill him? Doesn't that make no sense?"

"Rizevim, do you think I'll just stand by when you guys want to kill one of my comrades?" Vali was already in Balance Breaker mode, silver white armor covering his body except for his head. But it needs to be said that he himself was surprised by Kuroka's current power. According to Albion, the black flame Kuroka had just created was also enough to melt his armor.

Bikou took out his staff, Arthur took out his sword and Le Fay prepared to activate her spells at any time.

Creuserey who saw Shalba being burned alive was angry, he and the other devils from the Old Satan Faction wanted to kill Kuroka and fight with Vali's group.

Cao Cao and the others just stood on the other side as spectators.

"...." Ophis? Ophis was still sitting there and looking at Kuroka blankly. Her little nose was twitching slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

Rizevim sighed, his smile disappeared and the devil power that was far more terrifying than Shalba froze everyone except Ophis. The organization's headquarters was also shaking as if a small earthquake was happening there.

"Everyone, please calm down. I don't think this matter needs to continue. It was Shalba's fault that he attacked Kuroka right away without waiting for my answer. So yes, he deserved it."

Creuserey and the devils of the Old Satan Faction couldn't accept what Rizevim said, but they didn't dare speak up as the man stared at them before turning his gaze on Kuroka.

By the way Shalba had already stopped shouting, the man's body had already become ashes and needless to say―he was dead.

Many people gulped because that meant Kuroka was able to burn an ultimate-class devil to ashes.

That beautiful and sexy woman in the black kimono is scarier than they think!

"And Kuroka, you said you were only playing around with Eiji. That means you won't spill the beans and hinder our plans, right?"

Kuroka placed one hand on her slender waist, her golden eyes looking indifferent. "Of course, you're free to do whatever you want to Eiji. I told you I'm just having fun and using him."

"Hoh~ Does that also have something to do with the power you just showed?" Rizevim smiled as if he was interested.

"You don't need to know, nyaa." Kuroka certainly did not want to say that the increase in her power now lay in her Master-Servant contract with Eiji.

Rizevim did not ask further. After that he convinced everyone to ignore Kuroka because what happened before was just a misunderstanding. Of course, none of those people knew what Rizevim was thinking.

Many people like Cao Cao for example thought Kuroka was a cunning, evil woman. She was a great bitch because she managed to deceive and take advantage of Eiji who they had considered difficult to deal with.

Sure enough, women are creatures who are good at deceiving with their looks.

They're natural actors, their beauty is a powerful weapon to fool any member of the opposite sex.
