Inner Voice: All Heroines Hear My Inner Voice

Chapter 323: Strange hero

"You in a bad mood, Rizevim? Not your usual self."

Hades' voice sounded mocking. He looked around because at this moment there would usually be a silver-haired youth standing behind Rizevim.

But now that young man was not there.

"Don't make fun of me, Hades. To the point, what do you need? As you can see, almost all the plans on my side have failed."

Rizevim didn't want to say he was in a bad mood because he knew his right-hand man, Euclid was dead. It wasn't that he loved the young man that he was saddened by his death, but without Eulcid — it was difficult for Qlippoth to raise funds. After all, to research and produce Evil Spirits and other things related to his terrorism plan. Money was still needed to purchase resources in the supernatural world.

Previously he had always relied on Euclid for that. He knew Eulcid had an idea to make money from producing fake Phoenix Tears. But yesterday, Rizevim received news that Euclid and his group were dead. The devils of the Phenex Clan found Eulcid's hiding place and the one who killed the young man was...

The Phenex clan didn't hide Eiji's prowess in helping them solve the fake Phoenix Tears problem.

Rizevim knew it was Eiji who had killed Euclid!

There he is again!

Again and again.... Eiji always messed up his plans! Although Rizevim usually only thought it was interesting to have people who could thwart his evil plans; after failing so many times, Rizevim was starting to get annoyed. Before Hades visited his base which was actually not far from where the skull lived because now they were in Cocytus. He was thinking hard in selecting ideas in his head.

"I know that. Except for your toys that you call Evil Spirits. The things you want to do with them don't have much impact on the Alliance. Even though you said they have unlimited potential that is better than the evil dragon troops. That boy, Eiji Seiya. I heard he put up some barriers capable of repelling evil spirits."

"That's not very useful. At least as long as that boy exists. I know. Hades, stop beating around the bush."

"Hahaha!" Hades' creepy laughter filled the entire room, it sounded uncomfortable to anyone's ears. Rizevim was no exception.

The son of Lucifer frowned, he was in a bad mood and the skull in front of him dared to laugh at him.

If not for him building his hidden base in the other party's territory. He wanted to break some of Hades' bones. Even though he had heard that his skull was harder than any bone, and no one had ever managed to break it. Rizevim still wanted to test it, at least in power he was definitely not inferior to a god like Hades.

In the end he didn't. Rizevim decided to be patient, he soon regained his composure.

Hades was a little disappointed to see Rizevim not explode. He continued and said seriously. "Alright. I actually came here to offer you to join us."

"Qlippoth is already affiliated with you and the Greek gods. What else do you need?"

What Rizevim said was not wrong. From the very beginning they were affiliated and supported each other. Originally it started with Zeus begging him to deal with Eiji because his older brother, Poseidon was killed by that boy and he agreed. Although none of their plans so far had worked, even Zeus didn't know what else to do to take revenge on Eiji until he asked for help from his other brother, Hades.

But now Hades said, "This is not a simple alliance. Rizevim, our goals may be somewhat different from yours. But we also plan to fight the Alliance, killing all Longinus users and other Mythology leaders in the process leaving only us. It's called the Hell Alliance! As the leader of that group, I want you to combine the Evil Spirit with something else we created."

"For that, you can't help halfway like before. I want you to work as a scientist in our group."

"In short, you want my help to create troops and become your subordinate?" Rizevim was silent. Since when was he, the Son of Lucifer considered an expert in making troops and had to submit to others? He admitted that he did. Although he relied heavily on Euclid to produce the creatures, most of the ideas came from him. Lucifer's son also had the talent of a scientist!

But still, being subordinate to someone else, especially Hades was a completely different thing. It was fine to help each other in the context of equal cooperation. However, Hades wanted to put the Son of Lucifer under him.

This damn skull was insulting him!

Seeing Rizevim's displeased gaze, the other party's demonic power even leaked out and pressed against his old bones. Hades casually enveloped himself with his own magic power. He ignored the oppression of Rizevim.

"Don't get too excited."

"I'm not excited, let me press your face into the floor."

"That's impossible, Rizevim. You and I are on more or less the same level. But if we fight, it's hard to figure out who wins unless you want to make a lot of noise and draw attention from the devils living in the underworld."

After all, the Cocytus in the Realm of the Dead was located in the bottom layer of the Underworld. The key was still in the underworld, it was not impossible for his and Rizevim's fight to attract attention.

Hades had no problem with that, but Rizevim who was being hunted by the Alliance and other factions would be in trouble if the hiding place became known.

Rizevim naturally thought of this, he drew back his demonic power. It would be a lie if he didn't feel frustrated because he was clearly a villain, a big villain, but he often held back because he knew now he wasn't strong enough to defeat everyone.

Rizevim looked at Hades calmly. "There's no way I'm going to be your subordinate. Hades, forget it."

"Hey don't rush to refuse. Isn't Qlippoth's situation not so good right now? Many allied groups such as the Hero Faction, Khaos Brigade, Old Devil Faction, and others have been destroyed. Some of them broke off cooperation"

The expression of being a dark Rizevim, it was true. Not only that, Hades also knew more.

"Not long ago, your group was also short of funds. That's why you had that devil youth make a copy of the Phoenix Tears and sell it. I heard it was doing quite well before it was destroyed again by Eiji yesterday."

"...."

"Ah now that I think about it. Could the reason that devil youth isn't here now be because he's dead at Eiji's hands?"

"...."

"Looks like I was right. Rizevim, you don't have many subordinates now. You may still have a large evil spirit troops, but that's it. They're just beasts that are now of little use..."

"...."

"I know you don't want to be someone else's subordinate, so I won't give you many orders. You just need to create troops for our group and we'll mess up the world. This is still in line with your crazy hobby."

"Calling my hobby crazy... That's not wrong. Okay I agree."

"Great!"

If Hades' face had flesh and blood, he would have been smiling right now. Rizevim certainly wouldn't care about this, but something made him curious.

"Hades, you said we were. How is the Hell Alliance different from our group and Zeus before?"

"It's certainly different... Other than the goal being basically terrorist-like, our members are made up of primordial gods from Greek Mythology. I had told Zeus to awaken and gather them not long ago. We agreed to form a group."

"Primordial gods?"

Rizevim had a rough guess as to who Hades was referring to. They were definitely stronger than ordinary gods and even first-class gods. But after so many failures in his plans so far, Rizevim was skeptical.

"They might be strong. Put those faction leaders aside. What about Eiji? Until now we haven't known for sure how strong that guy really is. Even Gods like Poseidon, Thor, and Loki were unable to defeat him."

Instead of answering, Hades inexplicably laughed, his eyes glowing with green light. Rizevim wondered if this skull was crazy?

"About that boy. One of the gods in our group had an idea. Fighting him head-on would be difficult, but I heard he .... likes beauty?"

"...I'm sure I've heard that too..."

Or rather Rizevim didn't really think about Eiji who collected many beautiful women before, he was only focused on creating a strong troops to fight Eiji and the people from the Alliance. Even so Rizevim knew Eiji was actually a person who liked beauty! Of course, who is the man who doesn't like it? In the past before he focused on his goals, he often played with women.

But about Eiji stealing Sirzechs' wife, Grayfia... Engaged to the two heirs of the Gremory and Sitri families... One of the Maou, Serafall was also rumored to be his woman. Odin's former bodyguard and the strongest valkyrie in Asgard, Rossweisse and Brynhildr are also included. There are also other beautiful women that the boy has gathered.

Eiji's harem was growing every week!

It was said many of those women were now living in Eiji's house.

Many men in the supernatural world envied the boy because the women he had gathered so far were not only beautiful, but their status was also unique.

It would be a lie if Rizevim wasn't a little envious of Eiji because that boy did whatever he wanted because he had the power to do so. To be honest if the other party did not become an obstacle in his plans, Rizevim felt it was not impossible for him to be friends with Eiji. Unfortunately they had already clashed with each other.

Still, to deal with Eiji, Hades and the people in his group seemed to have the idea to use a beauty trap!

"Rizevim, there's no need for me to explain. You should be able to guess the rough idea."

"Indeed." Rizevim nodded and said, "But Hades, who would be the one to do it? I'm sure Eiji isn't that stupid not to be suspicious of women who try to approach him with bad intentions."

Hades waved his hand. "Don't worry, that woman isn't stupid enough. I have emphasized many times to her not to underestimate Eiji. As a Goddess who has lived a long time... She should be able to do something like this well, especially with her appearance."

"So you don't know the details of that woman's plan?"

"...Even if I don't know the details because that woman is hard to question about these things, I'm sure we can rely on her."

Hearing what Hades said, Rizevim was honestly not sure...

Maybe he should just go ahead and release Trihexa from its cage. Tell the creature to go kill Great Red and at that time he would hurriedly go to another world.

There was actually an option that didn't require him to deal with Eiji!

However, this option was certainly not without losses and risks...

Rizevim decided to give Hades and his group a chance first.

...

While the villains had other ideas for dealing with Eiji.

After Eiji managed to convince Lord Phenex for what he wanted yesterday. That's why now Lady Phenex was in his house and was probably having fun with Shuri, Yasaka, Grayfia and the others.

Obviously, Eiji was asking Lord Phenex to give him Lady Phenex. He asked nicely because the man himself had said he could ask for anything the Phenex Clan had. Lord Phenex was initially dumbfounded of course, but it didn't take long for him to agree. Between his wife and hugging his son-in-law's thighs, he chose the latter because it was more beneficial to his family.

Lady Phenex did not seem surprised by the choice her husband made— no, her ex-husband. She was pleased and gave him the beautiful smile she had first shown him.

Lord Phenex slightly regretted his choice.

Ravel needless to say, she eagerly helped her mother move home to Eiji's house.

It was accomplished without much drama because it was true what people said. Regardless of status, in the supernatural world power was everything. Lord Phenex didn't want to have a bad relationship with Eiji because he knew the man's power, and to him it was just a woman. So Lord Phenex would rather give away his wife and get on his son-in-law's good side.

In the future, if the Phenex Clan got into trouble, he could ask Eiji for help.

Those were the things that happened yesterday.

Now.

*Clang! Clang! Clang!*

In what looked like the inside of a castle illuminated by moonlight. Giant pillars supporting the ceiling were lined up. There was a large steel door that had recently been broken down.

From the observer's point of view, the purple and crimson light kept colliding with each other. It had probably been going on for five minutes. The two lights meandered before colliding again in the air and destroying every room inside the castle.

Sparks and lightning were created in the process.

It was all created from just two people clashing swords until one of them threw his sword out of the window.

"You lost your weapon. Demon king, it's over..." Rias said coldly. She was the one behind the crimson light. Her crimson hair was down, her beautiful face clearly visible.

Unlike the school uniform she usually wore, she was now wearing silver armor like a female knight.

The silver sword with red stripes looked cool in her hand.

As for that purple light? That's the person called the Demon King!

"It's over, you say?" The handsome man in jet black armor and red robes shook his head and gave the girl an amused look. "This isn't the first time a hero has underestimated me, Demon King. Five months ago there was a girl witch from another hero party who challenged me."

"She underestimated me just because she had defeated all my troops and entered my throne room with her friends like you."

"Even though you came alone, it's no better... You think losing my sword makes me so vulnerable? Redhead, you underestimate the Demon King too much!"

A dark and terrifying colored magic power exploded from the Demon King's body. The castle was struck by an earthquake, the magic power merged with the darkness of the night which made the throne room seem even more terrifying.

Eiji used Anos' character card, his eyes glowing with crimson magic circles. It wasn't Anos' magic eyes, he couldn't bear to use that on his own woman of course.

It was just a kind of visual effect with no real power.

After all, they were actually...

"R-Redhead? My name is Rias Gremory! I'm the hero of the Highlands, Heir to the honorable Gremory family....this is the first time a man has disrespected me and called me in such a mocking manner.... usually they worship me and stare at my body with their dirty eyes as if they want to lick me.... how insolent.... no, no matter what it is, it's disrespectful!"

"I'm the Demon King, what do you expect?"

"Even so...! Is this the Demon King? Hehe... I see, I see.... As expected of you, you're different from other men..."

The hero giggled, gaze fixed on the Demon King's handsome face with a strange intensity.

There was no hatred and coldness like when she first entered the Demon King's castle.

"And what?"

"That makes me .... nothing."

"Then get ready, I'm going to blast you with my magic, Redhead!"

"Rias."

"Huh?"

"Call me Rias."

"Are you stupid? Why should I, the Demon King, call you by your name? ..... Well whatever, Rias. You're going to die after this anyway. I'm giving you the small honor of being called by name by the Demon King. I usually don't bother doing this."

The demon lord looked at the hero in front of him with a disdainful gaze.

Don't know what was wrong with the hero, but being stared at by such cold and contemptuous eyes, the hero's cheeks blushed slightly.

The corners of her lips lifted, showing a smile that was so wide.

Although it looked pretty.

Hm... Is this reaction in the script?

It did mention the hero's strange tendencies, but....

Rias portrayed the character too well, right?
