Chapter 1233: King Piece 2
Everyone was speechless when they heard it and felt very disillusioned.
"Well, the true power of those shown here in the top rankings is?"
"Ah, them, the majority of them are using a power which can't publicly be stated as 'their own power' to continuously climb the ranks. Most of the Game's management executives are also people who are on their side. By retaining the King piece, using bribery to obtain the commercial rights, along with the ideas of the higher-ups, they conspire beforehand to manipulate their games. They're constantly involved in unfair and dishonest competitions. Even so, there are people who have used their own power to become top-ranking players. For example, people like the former Dragon King Tannin, and Rudiger Rosenkreutz. It's a trend mainly seen with reincarnated Devils," Ajuka said.
They only felt quite dizzy after hearing the truth from Ajuka's mouth.
"Then this thing is known by someone that shouldn't happen to know," Ajuka said.
"Who?"
"Diehauser Belial."
"The Emperor?!"
"Is he also using the King piece?" Rias asked.
Ajuka shook his head and said, "No, he uses his own power to become the Champion of the Rating Game."
Everyone who heard it felt that Diehauser was awesome when they heard that he used his own power to become the Emperor.
"Then, what he is going to do after knowing what has really happened within the Rating Game?" Sona asked.
This was the most important question since after the match, Diehauser, Riser, and Ravel had disappeared, but the only Diehause who hadn't found and even though they felt that there was something wrong.
"As you can guess, Diehauser wants to publicize this matter to the public and join his hand together with Qlippoth," Ajuka said.
"......"
Even though they had guessed it, when they heard it directly it was really shocking for them to know the strongest Devil in the Rating Game would be working together with the Qlippoth.
"But isn't it good to publicize such a matter to the public so it won't cause someone to cheat again?" Issei asked.
"It's not that simple." Sona shook her head and said, "There is a lot of interest and once everything is brought to the public then their interest will be destroyed."
"They won't let the Emperor succeed in doing that," Rias said.
Ajuka nodded and said, "Yes, that's why that Diehauser decides to join hand together with the terrorist organization."
"......."
From their conversation, they knew how much Diehauser loved a Rating Game, and they were unable to feel what was his feeling when the game which was being loved by him was just a part of the game of 72 big Clan among the Devil.
If they were in Diehauser's place then they would think that everything that he had done was a lie and they would feel disillusioned.
"Sirzech can't do much about this problem?" Azazel asked.
"For now, this is how it is. On the surface, it's just a political front that they're pretending to actively deal with, but if they act rashly, the balance of the Underworld will collapse. With the issues related to the survival of the race and internal strife on top of that, both the young and old are in a heated situation where everything could collapse in a single instant. Moreover, the opponents are the numerous cunning old Devils; for their own interests and the sake of their aristocratic society, they'll do anything. To some extent, they're even more troublesome than the Old Maou faction as they harbor even deeper darkness than them. Even for Sirzech and I, who are known as Super Devils, we can only appear to push back and forth on the surface politically."
The Rating Games were tied together with politics and economics. Behind the scenes, those powerful Devils were manipulating the competition for their own interests.
Diehauser wanted to break this manipulation and worked together with Qlippoth and Rivezim.
The Agreas which disappeared in the past were also because of the work of Diehauser who helped them.
Ajuka told them the reason he brought both Riser and Ravel with him was also to protect them.
Knowing such a confidential matter would lead to a threat to the interest of the Old Devil who had manipulated behind the scene, and for their interest, it was better to dispose of both Phenex siblings.
"How can that be?!"
"That's what they'll do. In order to maintain their own position, those old guys would definitely do such a thing calmly. In the past, the people who have found out about the truth of the King piece have also been mercilessly disposed of by them. Afraid that it would come to that, the Emperor used the Phoenix siblings and then entrusted them to me. Even if it's those old guys, they wouldn't dare to act rashly against me."
Sona narrowed her eyes and asked, "Ajuka-sama, what are the plans for the Champion now that he's no longer here."
"Everything that we just discussed will be announced to the entire underworld and the various factions."
"What?!"
They knew that once everything would be publicized on the Underworld then there would be chaos, but the Devil on the mid and low level would be spirited when they knew they had a chance within the Rating Game.
"So where is the Champion now?"
"He was forcibly transferred away."
"But, why did that only happen with Raiser's match? Would it not have worked if it was against other opponents?"
There was still some doubt inside them.
"You will soon know the answer to that question. He is unexpectedly wise."
"However, Ajuka. Since the video from the surveillance camera could be seen, then that means those old Devils would have heard your conversation with Emperor Belial. They might come over to question your negligence," Azazel said.
"To some extent, what happened in that video has been tampered with. Right now, those old guys will be making the wrong move," Ajuka said.
They continued to talk regarding the King piece until Yuuki felt something wanted to break the barrier of his home.
"I need to go since there is some matter I need to solve."
They wanted to ask what had happened, but suddenly there was another matter and they received information that Issei's parents had been kidnapped.
