115: Chapter 115

The Beast Emperor didn't waste any words, directly ordering him: "Go to the heart of the Hindu Pantheon and wreak havoc."

As for what would eventually happen to that tiger head, he didn't care in the slightest.

So what if it was flesh that had fallen from his own body? To him, he himself always came first.

However, at the critical moment, this chess piece would still need to be withdrawn.

Soon, that tiger head arrived at the core region of the Hindu Pantheon, slaughtering everyone in its path.

It cut down anyone from the Hindu Pantheon it saw; even Maou-Class individuals couldn't stop it.

Only high-level Maou-Class individuals could barely trade a couple of blows with it.

This guy had already stepped into the ranks of the first-tier Super Devil!

Unable to defeat this person, his subordinates quickly sent someone to Mount Raya to report the matter to Shiva.

Shiva had been in secluded cultivation, but upon hearing that a tiger-headed person was running amok, he thought for a moment, and his eyes lit up.

One had to know, the Beast Emperor possessed a tiger head.

Could it be that this piece of flesh had also fallen from the Beast Emperor during a battle years ago and gained sentience?

Shiva didn't have time to overthink it and immediately rushed to the scene.

Upon arriving, he saw the tiger-headed monster at a glance.

The ground was littered with corpses; although those who died were below Maou-Class, they were still the backbone of the Hindu Pantheon.

Shiva was furious, gritting his teeth as he cursed: "You damn beast, you've killed so many of my Hindu Pantheon! Don't even think about leaving here alive today! If I don't mince you, I won't be able to swallow this anger!"

The tiger-headed monster looked at him with utter disdain, tilting its head to glance at him: "What are you? Trying to act tough in front of me? If you have the ability, come and chase me!"

With that said, the tiger-headed monster turned and ran, following the exact same route as the Beast Emperor before.

Shiva sneered.

A first-tier Super Devil wanted to slip away right under his nose? It would be laughable if word got out.

Without a second thought, he gave chase immediately.

Chasing it to a remote valley, the tiger-headed monster suddenly stopped, turned its head, and gave Shiva an eerie smile. "Shiva, you're not a good person. I advise you to end it yourself early, otherwise the Red Dragon Emperor won't let you off. I'm done playing with you!"

Before the words faded, the tiger-headed monster's figure vanished into thin air.

Shiva had long been guarding against such a trick, but he was still stunned by this sudden disappearance.

He immediately sensed the surrounding aura, only to find that the tiger-headed monster's aura had completely vanished without a trace.

Shiva's expression instantly darkened to the extreme. "Red Dragon Emperor! You're playing tricks again! I'm not done with you!"

Shiva gritted his teeth in hatred.

Originally, he had planned to slowly annex those neutral factions and force them to pick a side. But since Luo Yu dared to strike right at his doorstep, he no longer cared about the origin of the tiger-headed monster, nor how it knew about Luo Yu.

He pinned this entire debt on Luo Yu.

Returning to his base, Shiva quickly calmed himself down.

Since the Red Dragon Emperor really wanted to start a war, he shouldn't blame him for being ruthless.

According to the intelligence he had gathered, the Red Dragon Emperor was now allied with the Three Factions, with the Underworld sandwiched in between. Since he couldn't touch Kuoh Town, he would have to make an example of one of the Three Factions.

He thought about the Underworld and immediately ruled it out.

The Underworld's strength was not weak and it was troublesome to provoke. If he really went after the Underworld, the Red Dragon Emperor would definitely kill him on sight, and he wouldn't gain any advantage. He wouldn't do such a losing business.

Among the Three Factions, the Heaven was also not easy to touch.

Heaven had an inspection department; the moment there was any disturbance, the Four Seraphim would arrive immediately. He crossed this option off as well.

Last time, he had already killed the Twisted Fallen Angel Abraham from the Fallen Angel Faction, slaughtering him cleanly in one stroke.

Given the temper of the Maou Lucifer, if he went to provoke the Fallen Angel Faction again, Lucifer would certainly be able to dig up evidence. That would mean big trouble. If the Maou Lucifer truly got angry, even he, Shiva, would have to weigh the consequences.

Shiva knew he couldn't touch Luo Yu, so he could only set his sights on the Grigori.

He had carefully pondered, and the best target to strike was the Deputy Governor-General Baraqiel of the Grigori.

According to the information he had, when the various parties secretly joined forces last time, the representative sent by the Grigori was precisely this Deputy Governor-General Baraqiel. This person's strength could be considered a first-tier Super Devil, but in Shiva's eyes, it was nothing special.

If he could kill Baraqiel, the Grigori would definitely be severely crippled.

More importantly, this would be a warning to Luo Yu—don't play with fire.

Moreover, he had now swallowed the Power of Destruction, and his strength was significantly stronger than before. If he really faced Baraqiel, he was confident that he could finish the battle quickly, just like he had killed the Twisted Fallen Angel Abraham.

No dawdling; he had to strike fast.

Thinking of this, a cold sneer curled up at the corner of Shiva's mouth.

Red Dragon Emperor, you provoked me first, don't blame me for being ruthless.

During this time, the Grigori had been patrolling the Three Realms everywhere, checking for hidden dangers. As it happened, these few days it was the turn of Deputy Governor-General Baraqiel to personally conduct the inspection.

This news had leaked from within the Grigori.

When it reached Shiva's ears, he couldn't hide the triumphant smile on his face.

Baraqiel patrolled all the way to the European continent, and Shiva followed quietly behind, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

If it were the Shiva of the past, he really wouldn't have had the confidence. A powerhouse of Baraqiel's level was too difficult to kill in a short time.

But now it was different.

The increase in his strength was evident; he had full confidence.

At this moment, Baraqiel had just come out from an old friend's place.

On the European continent side, there didn't seem to be any major hidden dangers at the moment. Even those pieces of flesh left behind by the Beast Emperor all those years ago, after so many years, wouldn't be able to stir up much trouble.

Furthermore, the surveillance network of the entire Three Realms was in place; it wasn't that easy to cause trouble.

A subordinate beside Baraqiel asked him: "Lord Deputy Governor-General, are we heading back directly now, or are we going somewhere else?"

Baraqiel thought for a moment.

No rush to go back. He still had to make a trip to Kuoh Academy.

He hadn't had time when he went to Kuoh Town last time, so he couldn't miss it this time. "Let's make a run to Kuoh Town first."

Baraqiel said. "It's a good chance to see a junior; it won't be too late to go back after this is done. If you're in a rush, you can leave first."

The subordinate quickly waved his hands: "Lord Deputy Governor-General, don't say that; I must certainly follow you."

He had just asked casually. Since they were going to Kuoh Town, they should set off quickly. The Three Realms were not peaceful right now.

They walked for a distance, only to find that the scenery around them had not changed at all.

Baraqiel immediately became wary—this was definitely not normal.

He was very familiar with this area; there were no powerful characters nearby. The closest ones were the group from the Greek Pantheon, but he knew their capabilities well, and they couldn't possibly pull off such a sophisticated trick. "Do you see it? We've been walking for so long, and the surroundings haven't changed at all." Baraqiel asked.

Upon hearing this, the subordinate hurriedly looked around, and it was exactly as the Lord Deputy Governor-General said—they had likely fallen into a trap. "My Lord, what should we do?" The subordinate's voice was trembling.

His strength was weak to begin with; if someone was really coming for them, he would definitely be the first to die. Thinking of this, he was terrified.

Baraqiel still had some confidence in his own abilities, so he lowered his voice and said: "Don't panic, I'm here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the void nearby suddenly twisted, and a black figure emerged out of thin air, its appearance unclear.

Baraqiel frowned and said in a deep voice: "Who are you? Using such methods, aren't you afraid of being laughed at if word gets out?"

The person didn't say a word and attacked directly.

Baraqiel reacted quickly enough and barely dodged, but his subordinate was not as lucky and was struck on the spot.

Shiva's time was tight; he had to finish the battle quickly.

The moment he struck, the Power of Destruction on his body exploded without reservation. The incoming aura made Baraqiel suddenly think of one thing—the news of the Twisted Fallen Angel Abraham being killed in the Fallen Angel Faction some time ago.

Baraqiel's expression changed immediately. "It's you? You are Shiva?"

He simply couldn't believe it; was this person actually arrogant to such an extent that he couldn't even be bothered to conceal his identity?

He himself was also of Super Devil-level strength. Even if Shiva was a few tiers stronger than him, it was impossible to kill him without a sound. As long as he dragged it out for a while, once help arrived, Shiva's identity would be exposed. Wouldn't he be afraid of becoming a public enemy of the entire Three Realms?

The entire Three Realms had long since united; the Three Factions and the Underworld stood together, not to mention the monster Red Dragon Emperor who was holding the fort. "Heh, you guessed it." Shiva finally opened his mouth, his voice bone-chillingly cold. "Since you've recognized me, then die."

He had already set everything up; he had more than enough time to kill Baraqiel and then leave.

The Deputy Governor-General of the Grigori, Baraqiel, had completely confirmed that the one standing before him was indeed Shiva, one of the three Supreme Gods of the Hindu Pantheon, and his face immediately turned extremely ugly.

Baraqiel knew clearly in his heart that it would not be easy for Shiva to kill him instantly.

But the problem was, the Twisted Fallen Angel Abraham from the Fallen Angel Faction last time had been killed alive by Shiva. With that precedent, how could he dare to lower his guard?

Being able to kill the Twisted Fallen Angel Abraham so quickly last time meant that Shiva must be hiding some trump card.

Baraqiel didn't know what that trump card was, and he had no bottom line in his heart; he couldn't even muster any confidence. His mind was now full of his own situation, and the more he thought about it, the more ominous he felt.

If he really fell here, losing a Deputy Governor-General for the Grigori would only be a small matter; the key was that the situation of the entire Three Realms would be affected.

Now, besides the Red Dragon Emperor and Shiva's sides, there were still a large number of wavering neutral factions.

If Shiva really killed him, the prestige of the Hindu Pantheon would definitely skyrocket. As for how those neutral fence-sitters would choose then, Baraqiel felt a chill down his spine just thinking about it. "Shiva, are you really planning to bring this out into the open to fight?" Baraqiel suppressed his emotions, trying his best to calm down. "If you kill me, will the Grigori and the Red Dragon Emperor let you off? You had better weigh it clearly; don't kill me and end up dragging yourself into the water."

As expected of the Deputy Governor-General of the Grigori, Baraqiel still managed to stabilize his mindset at such a critical moment. While stalling, he hoped that reinforcements would arrive soon.

Shiva knew clearly that the Grigori must not know yet that he had already made his move.

As for the pressure of the Power of Destruction he released, it didn't matter even if it was detected by others. Since it had already been laid out in the open, there was nothing to hide.

If it weren't for the Red Dragon Emperor running to Mount Raya to provoke him, his speed of striking might not have been so fast.

Honestly, he originally couldn't be bothered to kill a powerhouse of this level; it was time-consuming and laborious.

But it was not the same as before.

He didn't intend to be suppressed by the Red Dragon Emperor, and even less could he allow himself to lose face. If he were the type of person who could swallow his anger, that would be one thing, but unfortunately, he was not.

Thinking of this, Shiva couldn't be bothered to waste any more words with Baraqiel. "It's useless no matter what you say today; I'm going to kill the chicken to warn the monkey. Die!"
