"Roy, what did my father say to you?" Tohru and the others asked as soon as he emerged from the study.

"Haha, don't worry, it was nothing serious. But things might get a bit hectic soon," Roy replied with a smile, patting Tohru's head.

"Just tell us, Roy. Whatever it is, we'll face it together," Tohru said, her gaze firm.

Roy sighed. It seemed he couldn't hide it from them. He explained the situation.

"So, there's going to be a war? I'm great at those!" Ilulu exclaimed with a mischievous grin, her claws twitching.

Bonk!

Roy flicked her on the forehead.

Ilulu pouted and shrunk back, seeing his stern expression.

"Honestly, the Dragon Emperor's idea is foolish. Fighting for freedom, defeating the Rulers, and then becoming the Ruler himself? That will never bring peace," Lucoa commented, shaking her head as she lay on the sofa.

Lucoa belonged to the Observers, a faction of Dragons who didn't participate in the war. Tohru had once asked her why she didn't fight, but Lucoa had simply replied that fighting would only bring more chaos.

Tohru hadn't understood her reasoning.

But that was the mindset of the Observers.

Roy, however, believed that such a passive stance would eventually lead to trouble.

"Lucoa-san, you're strong, so you can stay out of it. But have you considered who the Harmony faction will target once the Chaos faction is defeated?" he asked.

Lucoa paused, her expression thoughtful.

Roy knew it wouldn't be easy to convince her, so he turned to Tohru.

"Tohru, will you become my servant?" he asked.

"Servant? But I'm already Roy's Maid, aren't I?" Tohru tilted her head in confusion.

"Well... yes, you are," Roy chuckled.

He took out a Queen Evil Piece and offered it to her.

"Tohru, accept this power, and we'll overcome any obstacle. No one will be able to stop us."

Tohru, seeing the Devil piece that radiated power similar to Roy's, accepted it without hesitation.

"Will this make me stronger?" she asked.

Roy smirked. "Of course."

"Then use it on me now!" Tohru was eager to become stronger.

Roy immediately began chanting the incantation.

A blue magic circle appeared in the living room.

"By the name of Roy Lucifuge, I command thee, Tohru, to become my servant Devil, reborn as my Queen!"

As he finished the incantation, the Queen piece in Tohru's hand merged into her body.

A powerful surge of energy shook the room, distorting the space around them.

Lucoa quickly teleported them to the subspace.

She watched as Tohru's aura grew stronger, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Tohru's power surged, reaching the pinnacle of Maou-class strength.

It continued to increase but stopped just before reaching the peak.

Roy also received a boost from Tohru's power, his own strength rising to Super Devil!

"Tohru's power..." Elma gasped, stunned.

They had been roughly equal in strength, but now Tohru had surpassed her.

"Maji yabakune~" Kanna exclaimed, looking at Roy with admiration.

"I want that power too!" Ilulu declared, her eyes sparkling.

She wanted to become stronger so she could get revenge on Tohru for defeating her in their Bullet Hell games.

...

After a while, Tohru's transformation was complete.

She floated in the air, a pair of massive dragon wings and a pair of Devil wings extending from her back.

Dragons becoming Devils wasn't unheard of. For example, Tannin, one of the original Five Dragon Kings, had voluntarily reincarnated as a Devil.

Becoming a Devil didn't mean abandoning their Dragon heritage.

It simply meant they now possessed both bloodlines, complementing each other.

"Roy!" Tohru opened her eyes and immediately lunged at Roy, hugging him tightly.

"Now we'll never be apart!" she declared, feeling the bond between them strengthen.

"Yes, of course," Roy replied with a smile, holding her close.

"Roy, I want that power too," Ilulu said, tugging at his sleeve.

"No way! Roy only needs me as his servant," Tohru retorted, glaring at Ilulu.

Ilulu ignored her and looked at Roy with pleading eyes.

"Tohru, I forgot to tell you. I actually have many servants already," Roy confessed.

"Eh?" Tohru pouted, but she didn't let go of him.

"And our enemies are gods, Tohru. We need to make everyone stronger."

"Fine," Tohru finally relented.

She believed Roy was doing this for her dream of world peace.

Roy breathed a sigh of relief.

He then took out another Queen piece and handed it to Ilulu.

Ilulu was slightly weaker than Tohru but was still a Mid Maou-class.

After becoming a Devil, her strength would reach the High Maou-class.

...

However, she was still weaker than Tohru overall.

Roy's strength was also pushed to Mid Super Devil.

"Roy, what about me?" Kanna asked, approaching him with an expectant look.

"Of course, here's your piece," Roy replied with a smile, handing her a Queen piece.

The Queen piece provided the greatest boost among all the Evil Pieces.

Since Roy had already filled all the positions in his peerage, he decided to make all his future servants Queens.

After all, he was confident that no one could defeat him in a Rating Game now.

Kanna was the weakest among them. After becoming a Devil, she didn't quite reach the mid-level of Maou-class, but she was close.

Now, only Elma and Lucoa remained.

"Elma, do you want to become my servant?" Roy asked.

"No, I can't. I'm with the Harmony faction," Elma replied, shaking her head.

"Are you still hung up on the Chaos and Harmony factions?"

"Once we defeat the gods, those factions will naturally disappear," Roy explained.

"But..." Elma hesitated.

"Elma, do you think you can leave after learning about us?" Roy asked with a sly grin.

"Eh?" Elma was confused.

Why was he suddenly threatening her?

"That's right, Elma. As a member of the Harmony faction, shouldn't we capture her?" Tohru chimed in.

"No more delicious food for a month!"

"And we'll tempt her with food every day."

Tohru, Kanna, and Ilulu looked at Elma with mischievous grins.

Being locked up without freedom and constantly tempted with delicious food...

Elma shuddered at the thought.

"Elma, if you join us, you'll have delicious food every day," Roy tempted her, waving various cakes and roasted meat before her.

Elma drooled, unable to resist.

"Fine, I agree," she finally relented.

Roy chuckled and put away the food, then placed a Queen piece in her hand.

Elma successfully became a Devil.

Her strength, comparable to Tohru's.

And boosted by her transformation, finally broke through the limit, reaching the peak of Maou-class.

If other Devils knew about his growth rate, they would be astonished.

And there was indeed someone present who was shocked.

Roy turned to Lucoa, who was staring at him with wide eyes. "Lucoa-san, how about becoming my servant? I might even be able to help you become a God again," he offered with a smile.

Although Lucoa had been surprised by Roy's rapid growth, she hadn't considered becoming his servant.

But his words made her heart skip a beat.

Become a God again?

Would she have a chance to take revenge?

She recalled the god who had framed her, and her sister, who had self-immolated after their... incident, her ashes turning into flower-like feathers.

A burning desire for revenge filled her heart.

But could she become a god again without her godhood?

"Roy, is it possible to become a god without godhood?" she asked.

Godhood was the source of a god's power.

"Of course," Roy replied confidently.

The rules of this world couldn't bind him.

Lucoa, hearing his unwavering response, hesitated for a moment, then nodded resolutely.

"I'm willing to become your servant." She opened her eyes, her mismatched gaze filled with determination.

Roy smiled.

It seemed his persuasive skills had improved.

He handed Lucoa a Queen piece.

Lucoa took the piece and examined it, then looked at Roy.

Roy didn't waste any time and began the transformation ritual.

Lucoa's strength was already at the limit of Super Devil.

However, the Devil piece pushed her strength beyond her limits.

Pop!

A sound echoed from within Lucoa's body.

Then, a terrifying power erupted from her, shaking the subspace violently.

Tohru and the others quickly acted to stabilize the dimension.

Roy's power also surged.

Their breakthrough was causing havoc. If not for Tohru and the others stabilizing the subspace, it would have collapsed, causing a disaster in the real world.

After a while, they both broke through their limits!

Their auras calmed down.
