Join Our Brotherhood / God of the Underworld

Because of Pluto, Hades also needs people to keep an eye on him.

After all, who knows if Hades might try to sabotage things in another way while the Underworld is under attack?

Ren indicated that he would not go, and seeing that Ren was not going, the other girls also had no intention of meeting the Demon King.

After all, they were more worried about how to stop the monster horde as soon as possible than about that.

Ren shared the same idea as them.

After all, the mission had already been issued, so he naturally wouldn't let go of the reward. Moreover, he was at least 10% responsible for the disaster caused by the monsters.

If the monsters in the original story were as powerful as they are, the situation in the Underworld wouldn't be so dire.

Chapter 415 Join Our Brotherhood

Of course, Ren didn't know how urgent the situation in the Underworld was, but the inhabitants of the Underworld and the reinforcements that had come to their aid were certainly in a state of panic.

Because the Shalba created monsters designed to counter powerful defensive monsters, even attacks from the highest-ranking demons were unlikely to inflict significant damage.

In addition, their ability to continuously split means that small magical beasts swarm out of every battlefield like locusts.

This is especially true outside of Lilith, which is the main battlefield.

When the largest monster, Gatanothor, appeared, Chief Administrator Grayfia led her forces to stop it from advancing towards Lilith.

Numerous small flying magical beasts multiplied and flew out from Gatanothor's carapace, Grayfia created hundreds of magic circles with a wave of her hand.

A high-density magical energy burst forth from the center of the complex and obscure magic circle, each magical bullet capable of precisely destroying an enemy.

In just one round, it cleared out a large portion of the sky.

Grayfia, once a strong contender for the title of Four Great Satans, was considered one of the only two successors to the Satan Leviathan, along with Serafall. The reason she was not chosen was simply because she voluntarily withdrew from the Satan Leviathan election.

There are many reasons for the speculation.

However, most people believe that Grayfia is the successor patriarch of the Lucifer family, a collateral branch of the Lucifuge family.

The Lucifuge Family chose to assist Lucifer's faction during the Underworld civil war.

Although Grayfia later switched sides to the Reformist Faction, she still faced some criticism in public opinion.

However, only she and the Four Great Satans knew the real reason.

As a descendant of the Lucifuge Family, Grayfia believed she was unqualified to become the new Demon King because she had betrayed Lucifer, whom she had served for generations.

Because of his betrayal, and feeling unworthy to continue serving Lucifer in his time, he withdrew from the election and at one point wanted to erase the Lucifuge Family's presence by going into seclusion.

However, it was only after Serafall's strong recommendation and persuasion that he took on the role of the ruler of the Underworld, responsible for the internal and external affairs of the Underworld and mediating between the factions of the Four Great Satans.

As it turns out...

Serafall then was correct.

Grayfia's work ability is outstanding. As demon lords, they complete every task assigned to them in an orderly manner, leaving no room for error.

However, they are somewhat helpless in the face of the current situation in the Underworld.

Although she had other helpers, they were still powerless against such a huge and powerful monster.

The spawned small monsters broke through the barrage of fire and successfully entered the skies above the small town on the outskirts of the city. They then spread like a plague in all directions, wreaking havoc.

Fortunately, the ordinary residents in the vicinity had already evacuated, and only the demon soldiers and the allied forces put up a resistance.

Explosions and screams echoed throughout the city as panic began to spread as the city watched the capital, Lilith, advance at a slow but steady pace.

"What the hell is that monster?!"

A girl in a school uniform with a ponytail rode on the back of a Qiongqi named Qiongqi, whose upper body was that of an eagle and its lower body was that of a lion.

She wields an independent, materialized divine Sacred Gear, and the monster beneath her is the Sacred Gear she possesses.

As a relatively well-known wielder of Sacred Gear among the Five Great Houses, Minagawa Natsume, along with the other four wielders of the Four Fiends Sacred Gears, has also grown stronger after the battle against the Hero Faction in Kyoto.

Even when facing a high-ranking demon, she could hold her own on her own.

Upon hearing from Suzaku Himejima that the Underworld was in crisis, he volunteered to go to the Underworld to provide assistance.

He thought he could make a name for himself among the various forces, but after fighting these demons, he immediately lost all interest in anything else.

If it weren't for the formidable strength of the soldiers and their comrades who were holding off this colossal monster, the hastily constructed defensive line would have been breached long ago.

"Wow! What are all these things!?"

Having just controlled Qiongqi to eliminate more than a dozen magical beasts, before he could even catch his breath, Qiongqi issued an urgent alarm.

Minagawa Natsume turned around slightly, she discovered that dozens of small magical beasts were following behind her.

"Xiao Bo, eat them!"

Just as Minagawa Natsume was being chased around in the air, Nanataki Shiguko, who had come from Kyoto with her to provide support, threw out her own independent materialized Sacred Gear.

It was a white monster with a Taotie mask on its face, resembling a small dog.

After being thrown out, she appeared in the gap between Minagawa Natsume and the small magical beast.

Then the Taotie opened its mouth wide, and its mouth, which was originally only the size of an average adult, instantly expanded to more than a hundred times its original size, and a vortex resembling a black hole appeared in front of it.

In an instant, all of these dozens of small magical beasts were sucked into the black hole.

The Taotie, now nestled back in Nanataki Shiguko's arms, let out a satisfied burp.

"Wow, amazing! Shikuko!"

Minagawa Natsume exclaimed.

"No, Xiao Bo needs a minute to process this, and I don't have any strength left during that time."

The heterochromatic-eyed girl dressed in a maid outfit spoke expressionlessly.

"Damn it! Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Minagawa Natsume scooped up her companion and rode the Qiongqi to escape the monster's attack.

Her Sacred Gear artifact's destructive power was not as great as the Taotie that Nanataki Shiguko a child, but its speed was extremely fast. Although she had been screaming, the small magical beasts couldn't catch up with her for a while.

She could occasionally use spells to shoot down a few magical beasts.

However, as time went on, and as more and more small magical beasts were split up, coupled with the considerable commotion she caused, a large following of over a hundred magical beasts soon appeared behind her.

Why is everyone chasing after me?

Minagawa Natsume was miserable.

However, she was powerless to retaliate and could only try to avoid it as much as possible, hoping that the Sacred Gear for Nanataki Shiguko to have a child would recover as soon as possible.

However, those smaller magical beasts seem to have learned their lesson as well.

A dozen or Minagawa Natsume from the front. Just as the girl was exhausted, several tiny gunshots rang out on the battlefield, and the dozen or so demonic beasts that were charging at her from the front were instantly hit between the eyebrows and turned into ashes and disappeared.

Before Minagawa Natsume could react, she saw a man standing right on Qiongqi's head.

Just as he was about to question who it was, he saw Ren's familiar face and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"My God, it's so good to see you! Hurry up and help! The monsters here are completely different from the ones we fought in Kyoto last time! We can't seem to kill them all!"

Ren explained, "After all, it's a subspecies of Balance Breaker Annihilation Maker, and it's being manipulated by the old Demon Lord Shalba. By the way, are you interested in joining the Brotherhood I've formed?"

"What Brotherhood?"

Minagawa Natsume said doubtfully.

"It's an organization similar to the Hero Faction. I felt the Hero Faction wasn't working out, so I formed a new team. Now it has almost twenty members, and like you, they are all humans and Sacred Gear users."

Ren explained quickly.

Chapter 416 God of the Netherworld

Minagawa Natsume scratched her head. This "Brotherhood" thing sounded... weird.

"Actually, these demonic beasts in the Underworld were created by the wielders of the Longinus from the Hero Faction. Although I beat them up before, they are still at large."

"Damn Hero Faction!"

Upon learning that the Hero Faction was the mastermind behind this incident, Minagawa Natsume was filled with righteous indignation.

He couldn't wait to get revenge for the arrow that had struck him last time.

However, she quickly realized that she had been beaten up by Ren last time.

"Okay, I'll join!"

Minagawa Natsume decided not to investigate further, and simply shifted all the blame to the Hero Faction.

Qilong Shi had no objection to the desire for a child.

"By the way, besides us, Miss Vermilion Bird and the supreme commander of the Yokai World have also come to provide support, but they are not on the same battlefield as us."

After all, there are a total of sixteen large magical beasts, and other areas will definitely need high-end combat power for protection.

"I understand, but for now, we should focus on the monster in front of us. You're fast enough, so go and help me pull the monsters, and I'll take care of the rest. I can also observe how this Gatanothor's abilities differ from what I remember."

From what we can see so far, this Heisei era boss created by the Longinus doesn't have many different skills from the original, except for the addition of the ability to split Zoga.

First, fight some small monsters on the outskirts to test the waters, and then deal with this thing once you've figured it out.

Of course, he did this to give the Brotherhood.

Although Minagawa Natsume is a girl, she plays games regularly and naturally knows what "pulling monsters" means.

So after letting go of Ren and Nanataki Shiguko, she continued to manipulate Qiongqi to fly into the sky to attract hatred, and soon a large wave of monsters came over.

Besides Ren, Rias, Lavinia, and others were also blocking the monsters in other positions on the battlefield.

At the same time.

Lilith's Demon Lord Office.

Azazel found Sirzechs with the information he had extracted from Pluto.

"... It's Hades."

After learning the truth, Sirzechs sighed.

"I never expected that even with the Greek Pantheon cooperating with our three major powers, there would still be people trying to obstruct the alliance's actions."

"There have always been many people with mental problems like this. Didn't Norse Mythology have Loki? So Sirzechs, what should we do now?"

Azazel inquired.

"Anyway, my idea is to go to the Netherworld and confront that old skeleton directly. The Heaven will probably send people over as well."

"Okay, let's do it that way then."

Sirzechs has always been a moderate in the Underworld.

This can be seen from the fact that even when the Old Maou Faction attacked the three major powers, he still wanted to pardon the old Demon King, which shows his benevolence.

However, this time, the Netherworld's actions had truly crossed a line.

"Let's just go straight there, no need to tell us beforehand."

Sirzechs stood up from behind his desk, and the subtle aura emanating from him sent shivers down Azazel's spine.

He looked out the window.

In the dim, mist-shrouded distance, reinforcements from all sides are halting the advance of the colossal monster.

"By the way, it seems Ren is here too, right?"

"Yes, and his women too."

"Then let's go, we'll leave this to them."

"By the way, since we're going to cause trouble anyway, I'll call Vali along too."

Sirzechs and Azazel soon arrived in the Netherworld.

No sooner had they arrived than Gabriel teleported over from the Heaven.

He was accompanied by Pluto, the highest-ranking Grim Reaper had lost all four of his limbs.

They exchanged a glance, said nothing, and silently walked toward the enormous palace in the dark world.

The Netherworld is the territory of the Olympus powers.

Although it shares the same name as the Underworld where demons live, its nature and environment are completely different.
