Sirzechs and Azazel confirmed the time and place of the meeting on the spot, and then said goodbye to each other.

One of them is the Demon King, and the other is Governor General of Fallen Angel. They are the representatives of Devil and Fallen Angel respectively. As long as they confirm this matter, the only thing left is to inform them directly.

As for the angels, Azazel will be responsible for contacting them, and I believe the other party will also agree to talk.

Firstly, this time Kokabiel had originally dragged the church into trouble, so Azazel also owed the church and Heaven an explanation. Secondly, since Devil and Fallen Angel were already preparing to sit down for talks, once the angels knew about this, they would never be able to sit still.

Therefore, the Angels will definitely not miss this meeting.

While Sirzechs and Azazel were discussing the matter of the meeting, Leo and Vali Lucifer did not speak during the whole process. They just looked at each other and remained silent with their eyes flickering, not knowing what they were thinking.

The two people who were supposed to be the protagonists here were completely reduced to supporting roles.

However, both of them made a tacit agreement not to mention this matter again, and even the fighting spirit that had always existed in Vali Lucifer's eyes gradually extinguished.

They knew that with Sirzechs and Azazel already on the scene, it was impossible to continue this fight.

In this case, the matter between the two of them is no longer important, and there is no need to say anything more.

In this way, with Leo and Vali Lucifer both choosing to remain silent, they separated silently.

Vali Lucifer followed Azazel silently, still saying nothing, leaving Azazel a little helpless.

"Are you dissatisfied with me? Vali Lucifer?"

Azazel bluntly expressed what Vali Lucifer felt.

This has always been the attitude towards Vali Lucifer and Azazel.

Vali Lucifer has joined Grigori since he was a child. It can be said that he was trained and brought up by Azazel.

When his grandfather only abused him and his father did nothing, it was Azazel who rescued Vali Lucifer, brought him to Grigori, and trained him all the way to this day.

To a certain extent, Azazel is the father of Vali Lucifer.

Under such circumstances, Azazel naturally understands this son-like existence very well.

"You think I shouldn't stop you? Should I let you continue fighting?"

Azazel said this without looking back, leaving Vali Lucifer silent for a long time.

After a while, Vali Lucifer spoke calmly.

"I know what you are thinking. I just think that in my current state, if I rashly activate Juggernaut Drive, I will definitely be asking for death, so I ran out to stop it without even thinking about it, right?"

Just as Azazel knows Vali Lucifer, Vali Lucifer knows Azazel.

But obviously, he didn't know enough.

"I know that it is rare for you to find a strong enemy, and you will definitely fight him at all costs. Considering your current state, do you really think that you can defeat Leo·Eligos by activating Juggernaut Drive?

Azazel made a faint sound.

"In your heyday, you could only use the huge Demonic Power to briefly use Juggernaut Drive for a few minutes. But in your current state, how long do you think you can use that power once you activate Juggernaut Drive?"

These words made Vali Lucifer pause in his steps.

"In your current state, I'm afraid you won't be able to sustain Juggernaut Drive for thirty seconds, right?" Azazel said mercilessly, "Juggernaut Drive for thirty seconds, even if you don't consider the dangers of losing control and shortening your life, can you defeat the opponent with this?"

Azazel's meaning is very obvious, that is, Vali Lucifer thinks that there is a problem in trying to win at all costs, but if you can't win even if you fight at all costs, then the problem is even bigger.

"My intention in stopping you is actually very simple. I think you won't win the final victory even if you pay such a high price. If that's the case, it's better not to fight, right?"

Azazel's sincere words made Vali Lucifer frown deeply.

"So, you think I will lose?"

Vali Lucifer looks directly at Azazel.

Azazel stopped, turned around, and met Vali Lucifer's eyes.

"If I say yes, will you think I'm looking down on you?"

Azazel did not answer the rhetorical question, but it was equivalent to answering Vali Lucifer's question.

Vali Lucifer certainly doesn't feel that Azazel is looking down on herself.

No one knows his own strength better than the man in front of him. After all, he trained him single-handedly.

Whether it is the way to use Sacred Gear, the way to achieve Balance Breaker, or even the method of using the huge Demonic Power to briefly use Juggernaut Drive for a few minutes, this man in front of me has researched it and taught it to himself.

Because of this, Vali Lucifer had no choice but to listen to what the other party said even if he was not convinced.

"----Leo·Eligos is so strong?"

Vali Lucifer I only have one question.

Even someone who can exert a power that rivals the gods may be defeated. Is the other party really capable of this?

"In terms of strength level, the other party is definitely not as good as you."

Azazel said so with certainty.

His research on Leo is not very thorough, and he does not know what level his real strength is. However, through the performance of "Zenith Tempest", the researcher who knows Sacred Gear best has some analysis and guesses about Leo's strength.

From Azazel's point of view, Leo definitely does not have god-level power.

However, Vali Lucifer has not yet reached the true level of a god.

"Your Juggernaut Drive still has many flaws. Not to mention its danger and cost of use, but with your own ability, it is actually difficult to perfectly control the power of a god."

"Even if you have god-level power, you will still waste a lot of time in battle due to imperfect control, so that the power output specifications cannot truly reach the god-level. Not to mention that this power has a time limit, and your condition is not perfect enough."

"In my opinion, even if you use Juggernaut Drive, there are still many ways to deal with you in that state."

"You don't need to have god-level power. As long as you have power beyond Maou-Class, it is possible to defeat you, unless you compete head-on."

Azazel calmly made this series of analysis, leaving Vali Lucifer speechless.

"I have to say that the growth rate of Leo·Eligos is really amazing. It was obvious that a few months ago it was just an ordinary High-Class Devil., even becoming High-Class Devil was something he had to do reluctantly, but when he woke up to "Zenith Tempest" and this Longinus, he seemed to be completely reborn."

Azazel touched his chin and said with interest.

"According to the feedback from the intelligence organization, there seems to be a reason for his rapid growth. It involves a certain secret. Unfortunately, this secret has been blocked by the senior officials of the Devil community, which has made the investigation more difficult, and the progress of the investigation has not been very fast."

"If that's the case, it would be fine. The most interesting thing is that his vision and luck are particularly good. He has only become the "King" not long ago, but Mo Xia already has so many outstanding relatives, all of whom have extraordinary potential."

""Dimension Lost", "Absolute Demise", "Sword Birth", "World Creation"----either Longinus or the super Rare Sacred Gear second only to Longinus. Damn it, how on earth did he find these things in just a few months?"

Azazel looks like a researcher whose soul is on fire. His eyes are shining and he is eager to try, but he is also particularly annoyed because the research subject of interest is already married. It is much more vivid than the calm analysis just now.

To be honest, Vali Lucifer is not not interested in these people.

These Longinus holders and super Rare Sacred Gear holders all have extraordinary potential. Once they grow up, they should be able to bring a lot of fighting fun to themselves, right?

It's a pity that they are still very immature now. Even Yukino Yukinoshita, who was the first to follow Leo, has not yet reached the realm of Balance Breaker. If they want to be their opponents, this level is far from enough.

Therefore, Vali Lucifer is now only particularly interested in Leo.

"Then what level do you think Leo·Eligos is at now?"

Vali Lucifer asked this question.

"He----"

Azazel suppressed all the annoyances and regrets in his heart, and after pondering for a while, he slowly spoke.

"Under normal circumstances, he is already Ten-Winged Class and another Ultimate-Class Devil. Even if he does not use Balance Breaker, just relying on the power of "Zenith Tempest", the second strongest Sacred Gear in the world, he can still challenge his opponent by one level and exert the same strength as Maou-Class, right?"

Azazel doesn't need to tell you this, Vali Lucifer already knows it.

After using Balance Breaker, he is already Maou-Class. So how can Leo, who can suppress himself, not have the strength to compete with Maou-Class?

"It's still unclear what his Balance Breaker is and what kind of abilities it has, but I just saw it roughly. His initial performance after activating Balance Breaker was that he grew a sixth pair of wings, which really raised his Demonic Power level to Maou-Class."

Recalling the scene I just saw, Azazel said this.

"Based on this performance, I can basically confirm that his Balance Breaker and your Balance Breaker are of similar type. They can both explosively liberate their power after activation, allowing their own power to skyrocket."

Vali Lucifer can unleash the strength of Maou-Class after activating Balance Breaker, and the same goes for Leo. Even the rank of Devil will be upgraded to Twelve-Wing, which is equivalent to Maou-Class, becoming the highest-ranking Devil.

And this is just a manifestation of strength.

Leo once cited the research theory of Azazel, and once said that the possibilities of Balance Breaker can be roughly divided into three types, namely Sublimation Aspect that strengthens and evolves the existing Sacred Gear abilities, Abyssal Aspect that pursues the appearance of itself and Sacred Gear to the point of madness and merges itself with Sacred Gear, and External Aspect that cannot be classified into these two and belongs to the mutation type.

To put it simply, after a Sacred Gear arrives at Balance Breaker, it will either strengthen its existing abilities, or evolve new abilities on top of its existing abilities, or there may even be unknown changes that do not belong to the above two.

After Vali Lucifer activates Balance Breaker, there will be two changes. One is to explosively release the power of Sacred Gear, causing its own strength to skyrocket. The other is to be able to ignore the original rule of activating once every ten seconds and activate its own Sacred Gear ability at will.

From Azazel's point of view, Balance Breaker of Leo is similar to Vali Lucifer. First, its strength and status will be explosively improved, and then Sacred Gear's abilities will also change.

"No matter what this change is, whether it strengthens the original ability or evolves a new ability, it is certain that this ability will be stronger than the Sacred Gear ability he uses under normal circumstances."

Azazel's eyes flashed and he spoke with a smile.

"Combining the two factors, I am basically certain that even if he has not surpassed Maou-Class, he should have enough strength to crush Maou-Class."

The power beyond Maou-Class is also Super Devil Class.

Azazel doesn't know if Leo has reached this realm, but what is certain is that even if he has not reached it, it is not far behind.

Anyway, if Leo, who already has the strength to rival Maou-Class, activates Balance Breaker, Azazel will not believe that he has not crossed another level to challenge his opponent's strength.

To sum up----

"Perhaps he is a little worse than the old demon kings like Serafall, but I absolutely believe that he has strength that surpasses Maou-Class."

Azazel made this summary.

And this is what Azazel believes that as long as he does not compete head-on with Vali Lucifer, it is possible to defeat Juggernaut Drive's strength in his state.

Leo already possesses this strength.

In this case, how can Vali Lucifer, who is in poor condition, win?

""

Vali Lucifer fell completely silent.

"Don't worry, you still have a future." Azazel patted Vali Lucifer on the shoulder and comforted, "As long as you continue to grow, I believe you will not lose to him."

"But for now, if you fight with all your strength, you will ultimately be the one who has the greater chance of losing."

"So, it's better not to fight him for the time being."

After saying that, Azazel turned around and unfolded the magic square array for teleportation at the feet of himself and Vali Lucifer.

Vali Lucifer, whose eyes were gradually becoming firmer as he was gradually enveloped by the light of the magic square array.

"How can you know something like that if you don't try it?"

Sorry, Azazel.

Next time, you can't stop me.

--

Vali Lucifer didn't know that when they were talking about Leo, Leo was also discussing him.

"What do you think of that White Dragon Emperor?"

On the way back to Kuoh Town, Sirzechs did not rush to send it, but asked this question to Leo beside him.

"Lord Sirzechs already knows it, doesn't he?" Leo probably knew what Sirzechs was thinking. He shook his head and said, "There is no doubt that Vali Lucifer·Lucifer is a unique guy."

"He's very strong."

"At the very least, in the current Devil world, except for Four Great Satans, no one should be his opponent."

This is what Leo said about Vali Lucifer.
