Grayfia in Her Youth

Grayfia's pupils contracted slightly. Was there anything he couldn't do?

Ren shrugged and said casually, "It's actually not that difficult. Those who know, know; those who don't, no matter how much I explain, you still won't understand."

Although he didn't know the exact principle behind time travel, Ren remembered that in the future of the original story, Azazel had invented a time machine that could travel back in time.

The original male protagonist's descendants travel from the future to change history in order to save their cursed, dormant mother.

This shows that time in the High School DxD world isn't as difficult to understand as it seems.

However, Grayfia was a demon who had seen a lot of the world, and she quickly accepted this premise.

She then pondered for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then what do I need to do?"

During this period, she was so troubled by this unpredictable feeling that it even affected her normal work.

Grayfia was not an indecisive person, so she felt that the sooner the better.

Upon hearing this, Ren said seriously, "Time travel carries considerable risks, and it can become very troublesome if we travel to the wrong point in time. Therefore, to ensure the accuracy of time travel, I need to have as much contact as possible with things related to you, or rather... with you personally. The closer the contact, the better."

Grayfia: "..."

What kind of strange request is this?

Ensuring the accuracy of time travel and accessing things related to her is understandable, but what's with this close contact, let alone actually touching her? Is this some kind of pretense of helping her solve her problems to deliberately take advantage of her?

Grayfia didn't quite understand, but she respected it.

Anyway, it's not like I was doing that with him.

Even if it meant taking off her clothes and being completely honest with each other, as long as it solved the problem, it wouldn't be a big deal for her.

Of course, Grayfia wasn't the kind of woman who acted casually.

However, when facing Ren, she naturally felt that being honest with him was not something unacceptable.

This definitely wouldn't work for someone else.

Grayfia nodded seriously and said, "Okay."

After she finished speaking, she got up from her office chair and went to Ren's side.

"How exactly do I do it?"

"Let me savor the connection with time."

In fact, Ren wasn't talking nonsense.

The Random Time-Travel Scroll allows him to travel to a point in the past.

However, if you come into contact with a particular thing a lot before time travel, you are very likely to travel to a point in time related to that thing.

After saying Grayfia reached out and hugged Grayfia.

Upon receiving the woman, Ren was taken aback, secretly marveling at how well-developed she was.

She was tall and slender with a very taut figure. The curves under her loungewear were quite stunning. Even when she was just standing quietly, she exuded a perfect balance of fullness and firmness. Looking down from her shoulders, that area was as tempting as a perfectly ripe peach.

It took Ren half his strength to barely suppress his burgeoning second brother.

Although he already had a guess in his mind, there were some things he had to consider after the matter was over.

After all, it's very difficult to increase favorability, but it's very easy to decrease it.

Is it okay now?

Grayfia is both a woman and a supreme demon.

Therefore, she also sensed a certain reaction in Ren.

However, the other party's forceful suppression made her smile bitterly to herself. If it weren't for her own problems, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

However, this feeling grew stronger with each intimate encounter with Ren.

"Alright."

When Ren left, she even felt a sense of loss.

However, she remained outwardly calm, simply gazing quietly at Ren.

"Then what?"

"Then it's my turn."

Ren tried hard to suppress the upward curve of his lips, his expression serious, as if this was truly a matter that could not be taken lightly.

The next moment, he activated the Random Time-Travel Scroll.

A faint white light flashed, and the figure in front of Grayfia vanished without warning.

She pondered for a moment, then returned to her chair behind her desk, staring at the spot where Ren had disappeared, before touching her slightly flushed face.

When Ren opened his eyes again, he found himself in an unfamiliar place.

The air smelled of sulfur.

Ren looked around and found himself on a scorched earth, with no one else around.

The sky was desolate and dark, but judging from the atmosphere, this place should be the Underworld.

"Is this the Underworld? It looks like it's from some point in the past."

With nothing to do, Ren flipped through a section of Underworld history.

It is said that the sky of the Underworld in its early days was as dark and chaotic as people imagined, with decay everywhere and lava covering the ground. Only Dracula's Castle was slightly better, but only to a limited extent.

It wasn't until the Reformist Faction came to power that the demon kings joined forces to unleash environmental magic, making the Underworld a more pleasant place to live.

Now that he had confirmed that this was the Underworld, Ren realized that contacting Grayfia before crossing over might just be the right thing to do.

Therefore, if he wants to complete the time loop, he should go and have an encounter with Grayfia next.

However, before they could even set off, a deafening roar from an explosion suddenly echoed in the distant sky.

The dark sky was illuminated by the firelight, and the sound of explosions became increasingly louder as Ren approached the battlefield.

Chapter 428 Grayfia in her youth

Ren ascended into the sky, squinting his eyes. With his exceptional dynamic vision, he managed to spot the figures colliding beneath the chaotic sky.

The ground, the earth, and the false sky were illuminated by various attacks.

A rich aura of magic swirled in the atmosphere.

Although curiosity killed the cat, Ren actually went to that place on his own initiative.

After all, if it really was a period of demon civil war, the Underworld at that time didn't have any high-end combat power.

Even the power of Sirzechs and others was far inferior to that of his era.

However, to avoid alerting the enemy, Ren still activated his Breath Concealment EX skill, looking down at the countless figures below from high above.

A war is raging on the land beneath our feet.

The non-human monsters, dressed in bizarre costumes, fought using weapons or their own bodies, and without exception, all of them had black, bat-like fleshy wings growing from their backs.

Without a doubt, these are all demons.

The scene unfolding before them once again confirmed Ren's conjecture.

The era he is currently in is indeed a time of civil war in the Underworld.

Since the great battle between the three forces, the Underworld has suffered heavy losses.

Not only did more than half of the pure-blooded demon nobles lose their lineage, but even the Four Great Satans were all wiped out.

This situation has not improved even after decades; on the contrary, it has worsened. In addition, the descendants of the old demon king have no intention of leading the people to revitalize the Underworld. Instead, they have been suppressing ordinary people, accumulating wealth and indulging in pleasure. They even once wanted to start another three-way war to eliminate angels and Fallen Angels, dreaming of dominating the world.

In this situation, many pure-blooded demon families who were dissatisfied with the status quo raised an army in rebellion, attempting to overthrow the current Demon King's government and reform the entire Underworld.

Conflict naturally occurred.

War broke out across the Underworld.

Ren happened to travel to this era and happened to arrive at the time when the two armies were at war.

Ren did not make a move.

Anyway, this war has nothing to do with him.

However, he decided to observe first.

The battle between the two armies was extremely intense. Because there were no flags and they all looked similar, Ren couldn't distinguish between the Old Maou Faction and the Reformist Faction.

Even if the Reformist Faction ultimately win, the outcome of this war remains uncertain.

But just then, Ren spotted a familiar figure among them.

Silver flashes streaked across the battlefield.

That shimmering silver hair was as dazzling as the Milky Way here.

She was a silver-haired girl with a dignified and youthful face, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a cold expression on her face. Every time she made a move, she would take the lives of dozens of demons.

Like a Valkyrie from mythology, she created numerous magic circles with a mere wave of her hand. The magic power surging from them swept towards one side of the army like a storm, breaking the previous stalemate.

Even though the silver-haired girl had killed hundreds of demons in a short period of time, her expression remained as cold as ice.

"It's Lady Grayfia Lucifuge!"

"Damn Reformist Faction!"

"Kill all these traitors!"

With the addition of high-level generals to the battlefield, the demon soldiers on the other side were instantly invigorated and began their counterattack with great enthusiasm.

Meanwhile, the demon army on the other side changed their expressions drastically when they saw the girl in the sky.

"Oh no! It's the demon from House of Lucifuge!"

"It's... it's the Silver-Haired Annihilation Princess!"

"Retreat! Retreat!"

After their superior demon was killed, the morale of the Reformist Faction demons plummeted, and they fled in panic towards the rear.

Grayfia simply watched the defeated army flee without giving chase.

The girl's delicate and beautiful face remained unchanged, but upon closer inspection, one could notice a hint of sadness hidden in her eyes.

As a pure-blooded demon, although she is a member of a family that serves Lucifer and stands on the side of the Demon King's government to suppress the rebels, those rebels are also her compatriots.

Moreover, the other party simply has different ideologies and only wants to reform the Underworld.

But due to her duty, she had no choice but to take action against them.

What should we do about this world?

Will demons ever perish?

They won.

The demon army beneath her feet was chanting her name in unison, along with her nickname, "Silver-Haired Annihilation Princess."

But she silently looked up at the sky, not wanting to see the fanatical expressions of the demon soldiers below.

She was exhausted, both physically and mentally, after fighting for so long.

How long should this pointless war continue?

"?!"

Just then, a chill suddenly rose up from behind Grayfia. The intense sense of crisis made her shudder, and a coldness ran from the soles of her feet up her body to the top of her head.

She immediately opened her eyes wide, tensed up, and went into battle mode, searching for the source of the chill.

Finally, high above, Grayfia spotted the figure that had somehow appeared and was now standing at a higher vantage point.

Despite the dark sky, Grayfia, being a pure-blooded demon, was still able to clearly see the person's appearance.

A head of jet-black, tousled hair that seemed to blend into the night, and a face more handsome than any demon or angel she had ever seen, was lowered, looking at her with a half-smile.

That gaze wasn't scrutinizing an enemy, but rather as if it were examining a precious treasure.

He had no bat wings behind him, nor any other wings.

Moreover, Grayfia sensed that the person's aura was extremely strange.
