94: Chapter 94
She paused. "That wouldn't just be a simple disturbance. The fire that was just extinguished might start burning again."
Right now, the Underworld, Heaven, and Grigori—none of them want to fight another The Great War.
On this point, the three sides have reached a rare consensus.
The Fallen Angels suddenly attacking New Maou Castle already counts as a direct declaration of war against the devils.
Those old scores could never be settled; the hatred between these two races has been passed down for thousands of years. Even if the original Maou and the gods' souls have all turned to dust, the resentment has never been severed.
Fortunately, Ajuka Beelzebub managed to suppress the news in time. Otherwise, if things had really blown up, the devils wouldn't be able to just play deaf and dumb.
Once the devils below knew that the Fallen Angels had struck first, if Sirzechs Lucifer and the others didn't immediately strike back, the prestige they had built up over these few hundred years would collapse like sand.
No devil would follow a Maou who didn't even dare to fight.
This strike hit Sirzechs Lucifer and the others exactly in their Achilles' heel.
Serafall's expression was very ugly, and her tone was very low: "Whether it's Heaven, the Underworld, or the Fallen Angels, no one is prepared to fight another The Great War. No one can afford to fight this war."
She looked at Luo Yu and continued: "You might think that we devils are warlike to the bone, but we truly want peace right now and do not want to go to war."
Luo Yu found her expression somewhat amusing.
It was as if everyone thought he had a prejudice against devils.
But these people didn't stop to think—if he were really against the devils, how could he have agreed to marry Sona?
And he certainly wouldn't have gone to help the Underworld wipe out the cancer that was the Old Satan Faction.
He knew why people out there saw him that way; it was simply because when he first emerged in the Three Realms, he had killed a few too many devils.
Among them were not only half-breeds but also quite a few pure-blooded devils, and even blood relatives of the Maou.
But who told them to be so blind and insist on coming to cause him trouble?
He, Luo Yu, was never the type to take a beating without making a sound.
A debt of hatred must be repaid—that was his rule.
Even a Super Devil on the level of Hades, God of the Underworld, didn't he end up falling into his hands in the end?
Serafall scoffed, clearly very unhappy with Luo Yu's last sentence.
But now was not the time to bicker with her. "Some things are useless just to know," she said, her face darkening. "That group of Fallen Angels that Ajuka Beelzebub sealed in an alternate dimension is a hot potato right now."
Luo Yu held his water cup and raised an eyebrow. "Hot? Just kill them, wouldn't that work? Would Azazel really turn against your Underworld over a few extremists?"
"What's more, it was the Fallen Angels who struck first, and they even attacked New Maou Castle."
"You aren't the side that started the trouble."
Serafall rolled her eyes.
She was really starting to doubt whether asking the Red Dragon Emperor for help was right or wrong. "Speak, what does Sirzechs Lucifer want to do this time?" Luo Yu put down his cup. "If you think that because I helped you clear out the Old Satan Faction last time, I will be your free lackey from now on, I advise you to give up that idea as soon as possible."
He glanced at Serafall, his tone flat.
Helping the Underworld wipe out the Old Satan Faction back then was a matter of mutual benefit.
The Underworld wanted to eradicate the cancer, and he had long found that group an eyesore.
Plus, he happened to be short on energy crystals, so he just went ahead and finished the job together.
But if the Underworld still dared to hold onto that naive idea now—then Luo Yu wouldn't mind letting them know what disappointment was.
Serafall frowned, her tone carrying a hint of helplessness: "You guy, you really won't take even the slightest loss. I haven't even finished speaking yet."
She paused, then continued: "Don't worry, let alone our Underworld, even looking at the entire Three Realms, no one dares to use you, the Red Dragon Emperor, as a spear. Look at the fate of the Phenex Clan; isn't that enough to prove the point?"
The Underworld withstood the pressure from other pure-blooded devil families this time and uprooted the entire Phenex Clan—wasn't that just to show their stance to the person in front of them?
They didn't want to offend him.
Luo Yu looked at her with a half-smile: "No one dares? I don't think so."
Speaking of the Underworld alone, no one really had the guts.
But the entire Three Realms is not just the Underworld.
That world, wasn't it using him as a blade?
To strengthen itself, it made him invade other worlds.
Of course, he couldn't say this explicitly to Serafall.
Serafall frowned, feeling that there was more to his words.
Could there really be someone blind in the Three Realms who dared to scheme against this guy?
Luo Yu spoke calmly: "Serafall, don't beat around the bush with me. Just tell me directly what you in the Underworld want to do." "But I'll say this first, the outcome probably won't satisfy you too much."
Serafall said seriously: "Sirzechs Lucifer and the others mean to have you, the Red Dragon Emperor, take the lead in uniting the Three Factions—devils, angels, and Fallen Angels—all together to maintain the current peaceful situation."
She quickly added: "This isn't using you as a lackey."
Luo Yu couldn't help but laugh: "Let me take the lead and integrate the Three Factions? You must be joking." "I am not a member of your Three Factions, so it's impossible for me to do such a thing." "Even if I had the ability, I have no obligation to do so."
He really couldn't understand what Sirzechs Lucifer and those people were thinking.
Let him lead the alliance?
Was this overestimating his ability, or misunderstanding his position?
Just because he had an engagement with Sona, they considered him one of their own in the Underworld?
If they really thought that, then they were just too naive.
Just as he said himself, even if he had the ability, he had no responsibility to help them clean up this mess.
Serafall stood there, watching Luo Yu's receding figure without saying a word.
A few glints flashed in her eyes, as if she were calculating something.
Not long after, she walked to an empty corner of the courtyard, raised her hand, and made a swipe, and a magical light screen appeared out of thin air.
On the other side of the screen, the red-haired Sirzechs Lucifer was standing there. "Sirzechs Lucifer, you and Ajuka Beelzebub really guessed right," Serafall said. "That Red Dragon Emperor is indeed up to something with Heaven."
The words she said to Luo Yu earlier were not at all a sincere request for help.
To put it bluntly, it was just casting bait, intending to fish something out from the Red Dragon Emperor.
If that guy really had a change of heart and agreed immediately, that would actually be the best possible situation.
Back at New Maou Castle earlier, the four of them had sat together and discussed it.
The probability of the Red Dragon Emperor agreeing was basically zero.
No one held any hope.
As a result, reality slapped them hard in the face.
To be frank, Sirzechs Lucifer and his group saw through Luo Yu completely. "Looking at this situation, the Red Dragon Emperor's weight in this is not small. But to be more precise, it should be that the Four Great Emperors are all involved. Heaven has also established a connection; that kid, Cao Cao, is currently stubbornly refusing to leave Heaven, which is the evidence."
Sirzechs Lucifer added.
He still had a vague intuition in his heart—that group from Grigori was likely stirring up trouble in there as well.
Although there was no hard evidence, it was more just a feeling.
But strangely, Ajuka Beelzebub thought the same thing.
What made them come up with this idea was that group of Fallen Angels suddenly attacking New Maou Castle like crazy yesterday.
Now that they thought about it, that wasn't an attack at all.
It was clearly someone pushing them to their deaths from behind, using the Underworld's hand to wipe these people out.
The one who could do such a thing, within Grigori, didn't even need to be thought about—it was that Governor.
"Sirzechs Lucifer, what do we do now?" Serafall was anxious.
They originally intended to tear open a gap from the Red Dragon Emperor and figure out the ins and outs of the whole thing.
Although they roughly had an idea now, trying to pry anything out of that bastard's mouth? It was harder than ascending to heaven.
At least, Serafall didn't think she had this ability.
If it were Sona, perhaps there might be a chance.
Unfortunately, Sona's personality wouldn't allow her to actively get involved in this kind of thing, much less do something that went against the Red Dragon Emperor's wishes.
"Wait a few more days. Once that mess with the Phenex Clan has completely cooled down, I will go to Grigori myself. Let's see if I can get anything useful out of Azazel."
He also knew the Red Dragon Emperor quite well.
That guy was both overbearing and ridiculously cautious.
Indeed, as Serafall thought, it was not easy to get words out of him.
At the very least, in the minds of these people in the Underworld, the Red Dragon Emperor didn't take them seriously at all.
To understand the cause and effect of the whole thing, and what those people in Heaven were actually scheming—it seemed he had to go himself.
"Sirzechs Lucifer, you are going to the Underworld?" Serafall was clearly stunned.
She completely didn't expect Sirzechs Lucifer to make such a decision.
Although the Three Factions were still tolerating each other on the surface right now, that didn't mean they could just visit each other whenever they wanted.
Sirzechs Lucifer's expression sank. "If it's not handled well, we will be treated as invaders."
"Although we aren't exactly allies to begin with."
He paused, his gaze falling on a spot in the void. "Those Fallen Angels from before are the best example..."
"The longer it drags on, the more it's like a bomb that could explode at any time for the Underworld and us."
"No one knows when it will go off."
Sirzechs Lucifer's voice was very low, yet it carried irrepressible anxiety.
The current situation was too complicated.
Grigori, Heaven, and those Four Great Emperors were all mixed up together.
With these people gathered together, what they were plotting was definitely no small matter.
Just looking at the previous style of the Four Great Emperors, one could guess how big a matter was hidden behind this.
But what really made Sirzechs Lucifer's heart crawl was not Luo Yu. It was Cao Cao.
After Mount Sumeru was destroyed, Cao Cao went directly to Heaven.
Michael must know something, but exactly what it was, Sirzechs Lucifer couldn't guess.
However, there was one thing he was very certain of.
No matter what that group from Grigori wanted to do, the Underworld had to investigate it clearly.
Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to sleep soundly.
Who told them to be mortal enemies.
The blood debts on both sides had long been countless.
"Don't worry, I will try my best to avoid other Fallen Angel cadres," Sirzechs Lucifer continued. "I will go directly to talk to Azazel to avoid causing unnecessary trouble."
"Serafall, you had better try to get more information out of the Red Dragon Emperor on your end."
"The abnormality of Grigori only emerged recently."
"But Heaven and those Four Great Emperors are likely the masterminds behind the whole thing."
"Azazel only got involved later."
Serafall sighed. "Sigh, I'll try my best..."
The two chatted for a few more sentences, and then the projection cut off.
In Luo Yu's room, a magical projection was lit up at this moment.
The person standing on the other side was Dulio Gesualdo, who was far away in Heaven.
"You say, this time you want me to be that cleaner?" Luo Yu asked, raising an eyebrow.
