Train Leo to become the next demon king!
This is the idea that Sirzechs just came up with.
Before, he only regarded Leo as the future pillar of the Devil world, and thought about cultivating an outstanding talent for the Devil world, so he always protected him.
After all, the former Leo was excellent, but in the heart of Sirzechs, the new generation Devil still needs to be protected, and has not yet reached the point where he can be independent.
But now, Leo unfolded the twelve Devil Wings in front of him. This action instantly made Sirzechs realize that the young man in front of him was no longer a rookie who needed his own protection, but a strong man who could represent Devil.
Twelve-Wing, this is the undisputed High-Ranking Devil, Devil. Many strong people in the Primordial Era world, as well as senior executives whose status is second only to Four Great Satans, have not reached this level, but Leo has already reached it.
If he is not qualified to become a strong person representing Devil, then who is qualified?
Not to mention that he is still a Sacred Gear User, the holder of Longinus, and the Sacred Gear he holds is still a Top-tier Longinus like "Zenith Tempest". Except for "True Longinus", there is no Sacred Gear that can compare with it.
Devil itself is the highest ranking, comparable to the strong Maou-Class, and also holds the world's second Longinus like "Zenith Tempest". Sirzechs can be sure that the current strength of Leo can be at the forefront of all Devil, and can even be ranked in the top five, becoming second only to Four Great Satans.
Unfortunately, such an existence is still very young and has not officially debuted yet. Coupled with the magical "Peerage Transformation" characteristic, everyone knows that this young man will continue to grow rapidly in the future and reach heights that others cannot imagine.
After realizing this, Sirzechs decided to train Leo as his successor and make him the next Demon King.
"After this incident is over, the day for Leo to officially debut as an adult is coming soon."
"When the time comes, I can join forces with Four Great Satans, Gremory Clan, Sitri Clan, Phenex Clan and other families to help him rebuild Eligos Clan's territory, help him regain his family, and secure his position as Clan Head of the Pure-blood Devil family."
"As long as he has this orthodox noble position, there will not be much hindrance in recommending him as the successor of the next Demon King at a high-level meeting."
The more he thought about it, the more excited Sirzechs was and the more feasible it became.
Originally, they, the senior executives of the Devil world, were planning to hold an Debut Match for this new generation of Devil when they officially debuted, allowing them to compete with each other in Rating Game, supervise their growth, and at the same time let more people see their performance, allowing them to quickly gain a foothold in the Devil world.
The reason why I came up with this idea is because the new generation Devil who officially debuted this time is really special. Among them, there are many famous families.
Sitting on the title of king, Bael Clan ranks first in the 72 Pillars Devil family.
Sitting in the name of Grand Duke, Agares Clan ranks second in the 72 Pillars Devil family.
The owner of the current Demon King Lucifer, Gremory Clan.
The current owner of the Demon King Leviathan is Sitri Clan.
The current owner of the Demon King Beelzebub is Astaroth Clan.
The owner of the current Demon King Asmodeus, Glasya-Labolas Clan.
Demon King, Grand King, Grand Duke——Devil, the top three beings in the world, all of them have people who debuted in this generation, and all of them are successors in the family Clan Head, plus This special existence of Leo is accompanied by the Phenex Clan's daughter. This is simply a duel between heavenly families. It can be said that Golden Generation represents the future of the Devil world.
Therefore, this new generation Devil has attracted a lot of attention before they even debuted. Countless Devil are paying attention to this new generation Devil. Even the news channels are paying special attention to this and mentioning it again and again, making the entire Devil world gradually become noisy and lively.
For this reason, the senior leaders of the Devil world had to discuss secretly many times, and finally decided to build this new generation of Devil into a golden age, and hold a Debut Match for them to let more Devil pay attention to them.
Among them, Leo is the one who has attracted special attention. After all, he is not only special, but also possesses mutated characteristics and the second strongest Longinus in the world. There are also two Longinus holders and many dependents with outstanding potential. It can be said that the future is extremely promising.
Many senior executives are actually looking forward to what kind of fame this special new generation Devil can make in this golden era.
Especially those who know how special this generation's Bael Clan successor Clan Head is, each and every one of them is looking forward to what kind of sparks will be created when the other party and Leo meet in Rating Game.
But now, this expectation may come to an end.
There is no way, including Leo, the entire Eligos Peerage is growing too fast, so fast that the entire Devil world feels incredible.
Not to mention Leo, but also the rest of Eligos Peerage, their performance in this Summit Meeting incident has shocked the entire Devil world's top brass.
Those girls, none of whom were over 18 years old, actually fought against Khaos Brigade's Hero Faction alone in this big event, and even defeated the opponent. This record was so good and outstanding that the top brass in the Devil world couldn't help but be surprised.
You know, Old Satan Faction, who is equal to Hero Faction in Khaos Brigade, forced the two demon kings Sirzechs and Serafall to take action personally. Eligos Peerage was able to defeat Hero Faction alone. Not to mention Devil's achievement, even the angels and Fallen Angel were shocked.
After this record spread, Eligos Peerage really became famous among Three Factions, so much so that many people have changed their view of them and no longer regard them as the new generation Devil.
Now, Leo has returned with two newly acquired dependents. Not only has Eligos Peerage become more powerful, but it itself has become High-Ranking Devil who does Two-Wing. How can such Devil be regarded as the new generation Devil?
If Leo takes Eligos Peerage to participate in the next Debut Match, then others may not have to fight at all, right?
Sirzechs can already imagine that at the subsequent high-level meeting, many Pure-blood Devil family members will definitely put forward opinions and exclude Eligos Clan from Except for the list of Debut Match, especially Bael Clan, Agares Clan, Astaroth Clan and Glasya-Labolas Clan, these four companies must propose this.
Otherwise?
You can't just watch your successor Clan Head be brutally tortured and be humiliated to the entire Devil world, right?
They are all nobles, and they are respectable beings among the nobles. They definitely don't want to see this scene happen.
Therefore, Debut Match of Leo is probably gone ------
But that's not necessarily a bad thing.
After all, all the major Devil families have proposed excluding Eligos Clan, so you have to give them some compensation, right?
Otherwise, it would not be exclusion, but blatant exclusion and shady behavior.
Sirzechs has already thought about what to do----
"This time, you Eligos Peerage made a great contribution against Hero Faction, and it was a great contribution. You must be rewarded."
Sirzechs looked at Leo standing in front of the desk, smiled and dropped a shock bomb.
"I will recommend you to be promoted to Ultimate-Class Devil, and also recommend your "bishop" Yukino Yukinoshita, "bishop" Mahiru Shiina, "castle" Utaha Kasumigaoka, "Knight" Asuna Yuuki and two "Pawn" Ram and Rem participated in the Middle-Class Devil assessment."
As soon as these words came out, not to mention Rias Gremory and others, even Leo were shocked.
"Promoted to----Ultimate-Class Devil?"
Leo looked stunned.
"Brother?"
"Sirzechs Your Highness?"
Rias Gremory, Sona Shitori, Akeno Himejima, Tsubaki Shinra and others were also shocked.
The Ultimate-Class Devil here does not refer to strength, but to status in the Devil world.
In the Devil world, the ranks and status of Devils are extremely clear. From high to low, they are the Demon King, Ultimate-Class Devil, High-Class Devil, Middle-Class Devil and Low-Class Devil.
Before that, whether it was Eligos Peerage, Gremory Peerage or Sitri Peerage, except for the three "kings" Leo, Rias Gremory and Sona Shitori who were High-Class Devil, all the others were Low-Class Devil.
Ravel Phenex was an accident. As the daughter of the Phenex Clan, she already had the status of High-Class Devil, but she did not choose to accept Evil Piece and debut as a "king".
In the Devil world, as long as you become High-Class Devil, you are considered a noble.
As for Ultimate-Class Devil, he is either the backbone of the major Devil families, a true senior person in the Devil world, a top superstar among Rating Game, or a celebrity with a special status.
In short, apart from the Demon King, Ultimate-Class Devil is the existence with the highest status in the current Devil world.
In the future, there will be a Special-Class Devil in the world of Devil who is between the Demon King and Ultimate-Class Devil, but that is also a matter of the future.
Now, Sirzechs actually told everyone that he would recommend Leo to become Ultimate-Class Devil?
How can everyone not be surprised by this?
"What?" Sirzechs himself asked with a smile, "Do you think Leo is not qualified to be promoted to Ultimate-Class Devil?"
Hearing this, everyone immediately looked at each other and fell into silence.
Are you eligible?
If you think about it carefully, Leo really has this qualification.
In terms of strength, Leo is already High-Ranking Devil of Twelve-Wing, comparable to Maou-Class, and even stronger than the ordinary Maou-Class. How could he not be qualified to be promoted to Ultimate-Class Devil?
What he lacks is only merit and performance.
As long as your merits and achievements are up, you will naturally be qualified to become Ultimate-Class Devil, which is the undisputed one.
And now, his achievements seem to be up to par.
On Summit Meeting, which decided whether Three Factions would coexist peacefully in the future, he led his own family to fight against Hero Faction alone and repel it. This achievement is definitely not small, it can even be said to be very big.
Moreover, Leo has made a lot of achievements in the past, such as killing Leif·Trix and rescuing Gremory Peerage and Sitri Peerage, not long ago, single-handedly defeated Kokabiel, the cadre of Fallen Angel, and prevented a riot that was very likely to break out. These are all real achievements.
The same is true for everyone at Eligos Peerage. Except for Ravel Phenex, who is already High-Class Devil, and is not yet qualified for promotion, the rest of them are already qualified to be recommended based on their performance in this incident and can participate in the assessment for promotion to Middle-Class Devil.
Sirzechs decided to take this opportunity to implement this and enhance Leo's status in the Devil world as soon as possible, so that he would be qualified to become his own Heir.
I believe the senior executives will also be moved by this.
As long as Leo is promoted to Ultimate-Class Devil, then he is not eligible to participate in the new generation Devil and Debut Match, right?
You can't go so far as to bully a group of High-Class Devil who just debuted as Ultimate-Class Devil, right?
In this way, they don't even need to make excuses, they can just announce the news directly to the outside world, so that the family will be less criticized.
This is also the compensation they gave Leo and Eligos Peerage.
"Go back and prepare well." Sirzechs smiled at Leo, "Soon, your promotion ceremony will be officially notified."
After hearing what Sirzechs said, everyone finally digested the heavy news.
"Congratulations, Leo."
Sona Shitori pushed up the glasses on his face and sincerely congratulated Leo.
"I didn't expect you to be promoted again so quickly. It's incredible."
Rias Gremory smiled bitterly.
Leo also vaguely remembered his promotion ceremony not long ago.
That was still half a year ago, right?
At that time, I finally managed to accumulate enough achievements for promotion, and it took me a full fifteen years to barely reach the standard of High-Class Devil. I could officially be promoted to High-Class Devil and receive Evil Piece.
At that time, I was happy and relieved.
His idea at the time was very simple, that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, get over the addiction of aristocratic slave owners, and live a decent life in Underworld.
Who would have thought that in just half a year, he would be promoted again.
Moreover, the person who was promoted this time was Ultimate-Class Devil.
Even his own dependents will get the opportunity to be promoted this time.
It's really -- things are unpredictable.
"You have to work hard, Rias Gremory."
Seeing his sister still smiling bitterly, Sirzechs couldn't help but start admonishing her.
He has not forgotten that he intends to let Rias Gremory poach Sona Shitori----
Although Phenex Clan has been hiding since he met Leo and has become very low-key, and the engagement has become vague due to the tacit understanding between him and Phenex Clan Head, but dragging it on like this is not an option.
Now Leo is about to be promoted, and he will not join Debut Match in the future. There is a high probability that he will return to Underworld to revive his family and territory. If Rias Gremory doesn't work hard, it will be difficult in the future.
How about letting Rias Gremory represent Gremory Clan and sending her to Eligos Territory to help rebuild the territory?
Well----you can try it!
Sirzechs thought happily.
