Interlude

After seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka gone from the room, Sirzech was able to release a relief breath. Sirzech still shudders, thinking about the Fujimaru servant that she brought with her. The woman that stands behind Fujimaru makes him Sirzech the Crimson Satan Shudder. The woman gives him a feeling as if he was facing the GOD, not like the god of another pantheon but the GOD. The lord of Heaven and the Creator of Angel.

Sirzech snaps from his thought when he hears Azazel say something.

"Sirzech, Are you sure your plan will work?"

"Yes, By using 'Diodora' as our agent, we will welcome the Khaos Brigade Army to the trap."

"I see, But do you need to invite all of the Young Devil to come and watch her fight Loki?"

"I need to lure the traitor from their hiding place and look at the result we no know who is the traitor and who is not"

"Haaaaa, I know you are right about it, but by doing it, Gudako and her servant will become well known to the other, and don't forget that the Greek Faction already requested us to meet with Zeus's beloved son Heracles. Even though he was Heracles descendant."

"Yes, I know."

"The Celtic is also want to meet Cu Chulainn."

"I…"

"Also, don't forget about the Young Devil that wants to recruit them into their Peerage. Do you know how bad it was if Gudako rejected the offer? Remember that Youkai… No Shinto Faction helps us because Gudako and her servant help Yasaka during her battle against the Shadow Servant. They are also the one that helps Shinto Faction create a new Barrier around their territory."

"I know, I know."

"Haaaa, sometimes I think you should not spoil Rias too much."

"What do you mean?"

"I know you, Sirzech. You invite the Young Devil to watch Gudako fight Loki not only to lure the traitor but also to give your sister a chance to recruit Gudako and her servant, right?"

"..."

"Look, Sirzech, I know you love your sister, but sometimes you need to teach her discipline. You always do all Rias quested to you. When Rias comes to you after she gets defeated by Riser, you immediately go to Zekram Bael to let Sairaorg Bael fight Riser and break her engagement."

"... What should I do?"

"Let her solve her problem. Don't just give anything to her every time she wants something."

"Very Well"

"Good."

After Azazel stops his lecture, Sirzech can see Serafall amused face the same with all his fellow Maou.

"Can I ask you something, Azazel?"

"Sure, What is it, Michael?"

"You have a spy in the Khaos Brigade, right?"

"Yes, Vali is my spy for Khaos Brigade, but he immediately quit after witnessing what they are trying to do with that group."

"Yes, That is the thing I want to ask you. Do you know why they steal the Grail?"

"Yes, I know."

"Then?"

"They use the grail to summon the one that already died, but Rizevim can't do that because he was not someone that was able to use a Holy object, so he corrupted the grail with his magic or something like that, so he was able to use it."

"Is the Shadow Servant the creation of the Corrupted Grail?"

"Yes, The Shadow Servant is a hero of old that is summoned via Corrupted Grail. By summoning them via corrupted Grail, however, makes them lose all their mind making them just like a common beast."

"I see."

Azazel then suddenly gets up from his chair and says.

"Alright, I guess I must go first. I need to go to Kyoto to meet with Amaterasu-Dono and discuss our plan against the Khaos Brigade."

"Very well, and Azazel?"

"Hmmm?"

"If you meet Fujimaru Ritsuka, please say that I'm sorry."

"... Very well"

Azazel then teleported himself out of the building.

"I also need to prepare Sirzechs-Dono. Please excuse me."

Michael then also teleports from the building leaving the four great satan plus Grafiya inside the room.

"So Sirzech, what should we do? Should we call all our troops?"

"Yes, Falbium, I need you to call all the clan heads to participate in this war. We need all of our troops because if Diodora's memories are right, then we will fight against an army of 10.000 soldiers that is already enchanted by an unknown method. Right now, however, we know what method Rizevim uses to enchant his soldier, he uses the Corrupted grail to do it, and by doing so, he only got himself a mindless beast."

"Very well, but if the clan head didn't want to participate in this war?"

"Kill them."

"What?"

"Yes, Kill them. I don't want someone as a clan head that doesn't want to fight for their homeland, and I don't want someone potentially a spy for the Khaos Brigade."

"... Understood"

"Good, Serafall. I want you to go to Kyoto and ask the Shinto facts about their reinforcement. Who will they send, and how many troops will they send."

"Okay, ~ Sirzechs-Chan."

"As for you, Ajuka, I need you to create an undetectable magic formula around the place where the battlefield is happening. I don't want something like the previous peace treaty happening."

"Understood"

"Good, then you guys dismissed"

After saying that, The three Maou's leave the meeting room leaving Sirzech and Grafiya alone.

"Hey, Grafiya"

"Yes, Sirzech-Sama?"

"Do I spoil Rias too much?"

"... Yes, You even give Zekram Bael a piece of land from Gremory Territory and also a favor just for Sairaorg to challenge Riser to fight and break the engagement."

"I see, So it was my fault that Rias became what she is today, huh?"

"No, It's not your fault Sirzech. Rias becomes the kind master to her peerage is because of you. Yes, She is spoiled is also because of you, but it can be fixed by time and experience."

"Thank you, Grafiya."

"That is my duty as your Maid and Wife."

"Hmmm, Hey Grafiya, how about we try to get another baby, hmm?"

*PLAK*

Till to this day, Sirzech still didn't know where Grafiya got Harisen, even though he looked at her multiple times.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Inside the Castle somewhere on the Earth, Rizevim looks at the Grail in front of him that releases a black mud that is so foul even the air around it becomes corrupted.

"YOU BASTARD"

In front of Rizevim is a girl with blonde hair and petite build. She has spiky hair and green eyes. The girl in front of Rizevim is Mordred the Knight of Betrayal, and currently, she gets betrayed by the one that summons her into the world, which is quite ironic in Rizevim opinion.

"BASTARD *gulp* WHY *gulp* ARE YOU *gulp* DOING THIS *gulp*?!?"

"Why, you ask? Well, of course, it is because I don't need you anymore, my dear… I don't need a Servant that asks every decision I make, that's why… I need to silent you."

Gleefully Rizevim sees Mordred get drowned by the Corrupted Mud and slowly changes her body, making her skin darker, and a red line begins to appear across her body. After a few seconds, Mordred stands up on top of the mud, but this time she looks like someone possessed by an evil spirit as her eyes are entirely white, and the red line across her body begins to shine menacingly.

"▂▂▃▃▄▄▅▅!"

Suddenly Mordred roars while releasing a black aura around her.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
