Food-Guarding Mode Activated
After returning home, Ren shared the good news with the three Fallen Angels who had stayed behind.
They didn't believe it at first, after all, Azazel was the strongest being in the eyes of the Fallen Angels.
However, when Ren pulled out the photo of Azazel with a black eye, they had no choice but to believe it.
At the same time, the burden on my heart was lifted.
After all, they had been worried that the Fallen Angels Governor would cause them trouble, but since their new master Ren, was stronger than the Governor, there seemed to be nothing to worry about.
However, Ren told them, quite bluntly, that even if nothing happened, Azazel wouldn't bother them.
After all, to the higher-ups, lower-ranking Fallen Angels Raynare were nothing more than pawns; even if they weren't in Ren's hands, no one would pay them any attention.
These words left them both happy and disappointed.
Ren didn't say much, letting them recover on their own.
Shortly after returning home, Rias called personally to inquire about the situation in the suburbs.
"Huh? How do you know I beat Azazel to a pulp? You don't believe me? I'll send you a picture."
Rias was completely bewildered.
No, I haven't asked anything yet.

Chapter 122
Rias didn't ask too many questions in detail.
He hung up the phone hastily after learning that the barrier in the suburbs was set up by Ren.
With the high-level meeting of the three major powers imminent, she, as the lord, is extremely busy.
However, in Ren's opinion, Rias was just wasting her time.
After all, her task was simply to set up the meeting room at the Kuoh Academy, help the family members move some things, and visit the decorations—in short, she was a handyman.
"It seems like nobody realized the meeting would be attacked."
Ren stroked his chin, wondering what the Underworld was thinking.
Since Sirzechs and Serafall have already come to the human world to conduct research, they should know very well that Rias has a shut-in vampire familiar.
The main problem with this member is not social anxiety, but rather the Sacred Gear power that is beyond his control.
Once activated, it will cause widespread time-stopping.
I don't know how Sirzechs and his group agreed to not clear the area.
Based on their behavior in the original storyline, it doesn't seem like they anticipated the possibility of the Khaos Brigade's attack.
After all, they hadn't prepared any backup plans at all.
Is Rias going to pull another cheesy "I believe in my familiars" stunt?
"No, why am I thinking so much? It's none of my business anyway."
Ren suddenly realized.
Having half a day of leisure, he didn't plan to just stay at home.
After telling Lavinia and the others, Ren opened the system map, selected the Teleport Anchor of the Khaos Brigade headquarters in Romania, and teleported back.
The forest at dawn carried the coolness of the night dew, and the moss-covered stone slabs exuded a damp chill.
White mist swirled through the forest, but as dawn broke and the sun rose higher, the sunlight danced and warmed the ground, gradually dispelling the coolness in the air.
When Ren arrived at the headquarters of the Khaos Brigade, he noticed that the place was much more desolate.
Only a few auras could be sensed throughout the manor.
Thinking about it carefully, this is normal. Last time it was probably a brief gathering of various forces within the Khaos Brigade. Normally, the headquarters wouldn't need so many people.
Moreover, although it is called the headquarters of the Khaos Brigade, everyone actually knows that it is strictly speaking just a residence for the Ophis.
Few people would want to stay here if they didn't need "snakes".
Although Ophis is nominally the leader of the Khaos Brigade, almost no one really treats her as the boss.
The vast majority of people are simply using the reputation of the Infinite Dragon God and their ability to obtain the power of the serpent to strengthen their own organizations.
The manor retains only a minimal number of guards, enough to alert the major powers in case of any incident.
After Ren left the Teleport Anchor and entered the building, a lone Stray Devil strode aggressively towards him.
"Who goes there?!"
"Roll!"
"Okay."
Seeing that Ren's aura was even more ferocious than his, the Stray Devil immediately nodded and walked away.
This attitude definitely shows they're one of us.
The internal forces of the Khaos Brigade are a mixed bag. Although he is a demon, there is no need for him to offend someone from another force that seems to be much stronger than himself.
Ren then entered the room where the Ophis was without any hindrance.
Compared to my last visit, the interior decoration remained largely unchanged. The only difference was that it was now powered on, and there were now computers, many game consoles, and a small pile of snacks.
Ren remembered that he had left Ophis a lot of snacks last time, and it seemed that she had eaten quite a bit in the past few days.
But I didn't see any snack bags.
The next second, Ren watched as Ophis picked up a piece of toast in a plastic bag next to him, then popped it into his mouth, biting off the packaging along with it before chewing it.
"?"
Seeing this, Ren quickly walked over and snatched the half-eaten toast, along with its wrapper, from her mouth.
This behavior is quite dangerous.
After all, Ren didn't know if the Infinite Dragon God had a habit of protecting its food.
But when he saw Ophis simply look up at him with a puzzled expression, Ren secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, he's not possessive of his food like the black cat at home, otherwise a huge "danger" sign would appear in front of him.
"It doesn't taste good."
Ophis recognized Ren.
After all, Ren was the first person who didn't ask anything of her, but instead left her with a lot.
However, Ophis was not entirely satisfied with the so-called "food" left behind by Ren.
It's a little hard to swallow, but the contents are somewhat sweet.
"You're amazing, you can even eat plastic bags."
After Ren finished speaking, he continued to ask questions.
"You ate all those snacks like this before?"
"That's right."
Ophis nodded.
"Since you said it was food, I ate it directly."
Hearing her say that, Ren couldn't help but give her a thumbs up in admiration.
As expected of the Infinite Dragon God, it can even eat and digest the outer packaging.
But then I thought about it again, and Ophis seemed a little pitiful.
Having walked on the earth for thousands of years, they still don't know how to eat even the most ordinary food.
"Haven't you eaten this before?"
He was somewhat curious.
"No, this is the first time I've seen these foods."
That's alright then.
Ren picked up a new snack without batting an eye, completely unconcerned that it was his fault for making Ophis eat so many plastic bags.
"These snacks should have their outer packaging removed before you can eat the contents."
"Oh."
Ophis's eyes were wide open as he watched Ren's actions.
He then took the Ren that Rod handed him, and first stuck out his tongue and licked the dorayaki in a small lick.
Ren noticed that Ophis's eyes were slightly gleaming, but before he could speak, he saw Ophis wolfing down another dorayaki.
"Sweet, delicious."
Without the obstruction of the outer plastic packaging, the flavor of the snacks was able to fully melt on her taste buds, quickly changing Ophis's impression of snacks.
When Ren saw that Ophis continued to stare at him after finishing her meal, he knew she was waiting for more food.
So I simply picked Ophis up and put her on my lap, then tore open the packaging of other snacks to feed her.
Anyway, his purpose in coming here was to increase his goodwill towards Ophis, and after his act of snatching food from the dragon's mouth just now, Ren knew that Ophis was completely unguarded against him, so he began to become bolder.
As it turned out, even when he picked her up and sat her on his lap, it didn't offend Ophis.
Although she was a little confused at first, she was quickly attracted by the snacks, and soon there was a pile of plastic bags next to the two of them.
Chapter 123 A Roadside
Chapter 123
Ophis ate with great gusto, but for someone whose true form was a dragon, it wasn't a problem.
Having eaten so much, yet his stomach shows no sign of swelling. Is it true that the Infinite Dragon God not only has infinite power, but also an infinite stomach?
Ren didn't delve into the matter further, but instead simply held Ophis and began teaching her how to play games.
Considering that Ophis was a beginner, Ren chose some simpler games to play with her.
Once inside the game, Ophis stared intently at the large screen.
For her, video games were clearly a completely unknown and novel field, and she soon became completely absorbed in them.
Unfortunately, Ophis lacked gaming talent.
Perhaps it's because I've always been used to this lifestyle, but even when my game character is attacked by an enemy, I don't react much; I just press a few fixed keys.
After the game character was defeated by the enemy, Ophis looked up at Ren, who then clicked to continue the game, while Ophis continued with his own actions.
Even so, Ren could tell that Ophis was having a good time.
She was now completely leaning against Ren's chest, instead of sitting upright.
Time passed by, second by second.
Happy times are always fleeting.
Seeing that it was already night in the island nation, Ren was about to return when Ophis grabbed his sleeve.
Are you leaving?
"Okay, I'll come find you to play again next time."
"Could we stay a little longer?"
Looking at Ophis's expressionless face, Ren was also somewhat troubled.
After calculating the time, he knew Lavinia's period should be over today, and he had made preparations long ago.
However, he was unexpectedly held back by Ophis alone.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and reluctantly decided to temporarily abandon his close friendship with Lavinia and instead stay here to continue accompanying Ophis.
However, he couldn't stay too long, since the seraphim from Heaven wanted to see him tomorrow. Although he didn't know what it was about, he still had to go.
