Eligos Territory, Ancient Battlefield camp, Leo tent.

Leo, who invited Sirzechs and Grayfia Lucifuge here, originally wanted to give them a cup of tea, but when he was about to take action, Grayfia Lucifuge, who had been standing quietly behind Sirzechs, had already pushed the tea cart from nowhere and poured out the hot black tea.

"Please use it slowly."

Grayfia Lucifuge placed two cups of black tea in front of Leo and Sirzechs respectively, letting the faint fragrance fill the entire tent, dispersing the somewhat depressing air in Ancient Battlefield.

"Thank you, Miss Grayfia Lucifuge."

Leo saw that "Queen" had already prepared tea, so he didn't say anything polite at the moment. He sat down with Sirzechs and enjoyed the delicious black tea.

"Are your dependents already training now?" Sirzechs, while drinking tea, became concerned about Eligos Peerage's current situation and asked, "Although I can tell from your appearance that the special training is going well, what is the real situation? Can you tell me?"

"The situation is pretty good, and the special training is indeed going well." Leo naturally knew that his family members had become the focus of the demon kings, and he was reassured enough by Sirzechs that he did not Concealing it, he said straight, "They are all girls with extraordinary talents. Even without Sacred Gear, they are destined to become extraordinary people. With Sacred Gear, they are destined to soar in this world."

"If they are given enough time, I have no doubt that they can catch up with Miss Grayfia Lucifuge and Lord Serafall."

Hearing this, Grayfia Lucifuge raised his eyebrows slightly, and a rare expression of interest appeared on his expressionless face.

"Can you catch up with Grayfia Lucifuge and Serafall?" Sirzechs also smiled and said, "It seems that you are really satisfied with their performance."

"After all, I hand-picked my dependents, and no one understands their extraordinaryness better than me." Leo shrugged and said, "Unfortunately, they still lack time."

"Of course, even now, they have shown more powerful potential than many Pure-blood Devil."

"It has only been half a month since the special training, and they have already undergone a transformation that can be said to be completely different. Even I, without using my true skills, will find it difficult to defeat any of them."

This is the result of his personal verification, so Leo said this in an explanatory tone, without any sense of self-promotion.

"That is indeed an amazing growth." Sirzechs was a little surprised and sighed, "As expected of Eligos Peerage, who has become a rumor in the Devil world. Even Rias Gremory's dependents, in terms of potential, it should be difficult to compare with your dependents, right?"

As the elder brother of Rias Gremory, Sirzechs naturally knows his sister's family members very well.

Although each of them does not seem to be outstanding, that is because Rias Gremory's dependents still have hidden powers or potentials that are unknown to everyone.

Not to mention the "Bishop" who is still sealed, let's talk about Akeno Himejima, Yuuto Kiba and Koneko Toujou. Each of these three people has amazing backgrounds. Their specialness is not as special as Sharon Holly Greer, who was developed as an experimental product for the Transcendent, but is even more special.

If these people fully exert their own specialties, untie their own knots, and reveal their hidden potential, then the future will be limitless. Even if they cannot reach Maou-Class, they will not be inferior to Ultimate-Class Devil.

Therefore, among the top leaders in the Devil world, this generation of Gremory Peerage can be said to have attracted much attention and has high hopes from many people.

However, the focus and importance of Eligos Peerage in the Devil community has now surpassed that of Gremory Peerage, which makes Sirzechs feel sad.

"Potential is potential after all. Before it is realized into strength, it is just a target to attract bees and butterflies."

Leo naturally did not feel that his family would lose to Gremory Peerage, so even when he was praised by Sirzechs, he did not show much joy, but felt helpless.

"If possible, I hope to hide it for a while longer, and wait until I or they have fully grown up and gained a certain level of strength before I can make the Eligos Peerage sound known to the outside world."

"Unfortunately, an attack by Leif·Trix exposed us all."

"Otherwise, we don't have to come to Underworld for intense special training, aiming to increase our strength as soon as possible to deal with the malicious intentions from the outside world."

Leo's words made Sirzechs's expression become more serious.

"We already know about the Hero Faction thing you mentioned." Sirzechs put down the black tea cup in his hand, looked at Leo, and said, "First Old Satan Faction, then this Hero Faction who had never heard of it before, and the Stray Mage group that appeared in the last attack----"

"There is no doubt that a mysterious and unknown huge force emerged without any of us knowing, and these criminals colluded around this force."

"We have conducted some investigation in secret. Although we haven't obtained much useful information because the time is too short, we still found something not quite right."

Sirzechs recalled the contents of the intelligence secretly investigated.

According to intelligence, during this period, not only did Old Satan Faction in the Devil world take abnormal actions, but some entities in the Heaven and Fallen Angel worlds also launched abnormal actions against the current regime.

The same goes for the church. In addition to Sharon and Holly Greer being involved in the Old Satan Faction attack, there are also some people who seem to be secretly colluding with someone, either betraying the church and missing, or doing some obviously questionable actions.

Coupled with the Hero Faction and Stray Mage groups, which are mainly human beings, some terrorists have begun to appear in almost every force, and they are colluding with each other, and they are not alone.

All this is telling others that some lawless elements in major forces who are dissatisfied with the status quo have begun to join forces and even joined the same organization in order to achieve their own unknown goals.

This was originally impossible.

Even the famous God of the Bible is not followed by all the major forces. He is the figure who unites all the forces. Why is this mysterious force?

But after Leo's last deliberate reminder, Sirzechs had already thought of it. If there is really a person who can do such a thing, then this person can only be that----

""Ouroboros"----"

Thinking of that existence, Sirzechs couldn't help but have a haze appear in his eyes.

If that person really took action, the trouble would be big.

However, Sirzechs will not tell these extremely important secrets casually.

At present, this matter is only known to Four Great Satans and some important senior officials in the Devil world. Others have no idea what happened.

Sirzechs thought about it and finally decided not to tell Leo these things.

Although he is already a very important party, and he knows a lot of his information thanks to the other party, but knowing too much may not be of any benefit to him.

Sirzechs, who was thinking this way, had no idea at all. Leo only knew more than him, not less.

He also knew that it was not just him who had discovered the existence of that mysterious force and the existence of "Ouroboros". The Governor General of Fallen Angel had also discovered the anomaly and investigated enough information.

That information is currently only known to important cadres of Grigori, and has not yet leaked out.

If it weren't for him, the Devil world wouldn't be able to discover anything at all. Only the Fallen Angel side would respond.

Therefore, Leo also has no intention of telling Sirzechs about these things to avoid suspicion.

"In short, we have already taken precautions against this. You should not be easily attacked again in the future." Sirzechs said, "You can rest assured about the special training. We will be watching over you."

Leo didn't find it strange at all.

He had long discovered that there would be some sense of peeping around this camp and Ancient Battlefield from time to time.

These voyeuristic feelings were not malicious, so he had already guessed that Sirzechs and others should have sent people to guard him and others to prevent him and others from being maliciously attacked again.

"Then thank you Lord Sirzechs."

Leo thanks Sirzechs.

"This is what I should do as a demon king, no need to thank you." Sirzechs smiled and said, "As long as you can grow up, you can share our worries in the future. In order to get to that time, no matter how hard you work now, it will be worth it."

"Yes." Leo nodded and said, "We will become stronger as soon as possible."

"I believe you." Sirzechs smiled gently, then changed his tone and said, "In order to help you become stronger as soon as possible, we have also formulated some strategies here and are ready to provide you with some help."

"Grayfia Lucifuge."

Sirzechs called "Queen" behind him and asked Grayfia Lucifuge to take out a thick stack of paper.

"Please take a look."

Grayfia Lucifuge placed this large stack of paper in front of Leo, making him stunned.

"What is this?"

Leo picked it up with some confusion and looked through it.

When he turned it over, he was a little surprised to find that it was actually the information of Devil.

These materials not only record their origins, origins, backgrounds, abilities and even everything about their daily lives in detail, but also include photos of the people involved, so that Leo can clearly know what they look like.

Then, Leo discovered that each of these Devils actually had a great background. They were either the descendants of a certain high-status Devil, or the bloodline of the current 72 Pillars Devil family, and some were disciples, students, and associates of some famous big shots.

Sirzechs said such a sentence.

"This is the candidate we have chosen for you."
