Try to not make me yawn, okay?

Yet, even if Diehauser said those words, the cheers of the crowds didn't stop, and it became even louder, which made him confused. 

"What's happening?" 

Diehauser touched and checked his microphone but realized that it didn't seem to work.

"Is this broken?

Nevertheless, Baraqiel and Naud sighed in relief when they saw how Diehauser's microphone didn't seem to work, yet they wondered how one could be so stupid?!

They wanted to curse Diehauser's stupidity since it seemed like this guy never learned at all. 

Fortunately, Riser anticipated this situation and turned off all the cameras that faced Diehauser and turned off the speaker and microphone by using his Unknown Dictator. With this Sacred Gear, he could manipulate iron and electronic devices, so it was easy for him to stop Diehauser. 

"What's wrong, Riser-chan?" Serafall asked. 

"Well..." 

If it was someone else, they might keep this matter a secret so Diehauser wouldn't be hated, but who was Riser? 

Hearing his story, everyone looked at Diehauser in indignant, wondering what was wrong with this guy?!

"What's wrong with him?" 

"He didn't even join the war, right?" 

"How ridiculous!" 

Unlike many who had joined the war, Diehauser, while he was a Champion, didn't join the war with the Chinese and Hindu myth as he expressed his view that this war was meaningless and it would kill many, which he wished for Riser to stop. 

While the media was mostly controlled by Riser, there were some who didn't know their places. 

Still, Riser ignored all of them and waited for them to come out. Then, when the victory came, even if he didn't do anything, the media were all destroyed and went bankrupt. Many of those who were working were even being killed by fanatics.

After all, not everyone can be as strong as Diehauser, who could protect himself. 

So, all of them died. 

Just like that. 

Nevertheless, until now, Diehauser couldn't even understand his mistake and kept thinking that he had always been right. 

Still, it didn't mean that Riser didn't understand Diehauser. 

While Diehauser had nothing, he might not be wrong and even respectable, but as he grew stronger, he gained a privilege that he had never felt before. Still, when Riser came to power, that privilege slowly disappeared. If there was a reason why it didn't disappear completely, it was because he was known as the "Champion"!

The only devil who had never lost in the "Rating Game." 

Diehauser's power was strong, but even so, he was nothing in front of Riser. 

Still, when one had been in the comfort of luxury, it was hard for them to return to how when they were poor. 

As his rights, popularity, and wealth slowly disappeared, naturally, Diehauser tried to fight back. 

Unfortunately, his method was wrong. 

Diehauser thought that as long as he worked hard and fought, he would be rewarded, but there was something known as impossible after all. 

Sometimes, knowing how to give up was a good thing. 

Even if one couldn't give up, they could use their brain to pretend, and when they gained power, they could move. 

Yet, Diehauser didn't seem too smart, and his pride blinded him, thinking that he would be okay. 

Still, even if there was trouble with his power, nothing could stop Diehauser. Even some media decided to help him, giving him a space to talk, showing that his power and prestige were still there. 

Unfortunately, Diehauser had chosen the wrong opponent. 

"Riser-chan, kill him." 

Riser looked at Serafall and wanted to laugh. "Relax. I am going to fight him soon anyway." 

Hearing his words, they somehow wanted to laugh. To be honest, they forgot about his match with Diehauser since Riser didn't make any preparations; he was the same as ever. Nevertheless, this was normal, and they didn't think it was weird. 

After all, Diehauser wasn't even Riser's opponent. 

Still, Riser had always been confused. 

Why was there always trouble around him?

Even though he had cleared up Issei, Ajuka, Azazel, and even Vali, many still jumped up, showing that they were unsatisfied with him. Even if he had defeated the Great Red, the Hindu Myth, and the Chinese Myth, many didn't think that he was strong, and they still thought to fight him. 

Meanwhile, why were there no people who tried to fight those who were strong like the Great Red, Indra, or Buddha before?

If there was a reason, Riser thought that it might be because he was the new generation or he wasn't ruthless enough. 

Yet, even so, he wouldn't change and become more ruthless since being ruthless meant that he would lose a companion. It was like the Great Red and the other dragons who could only stay alone in their lives. While he didn't mind being alone, he had tasted the sweetness of the companionship. 

If there was someone who had to become a loner, then it shouldn't be him but those who provoked him. 

Still, Riser knew that sometimes, an individual was just too stupid. His silence was thought of as a weakness, but wasn't this how a creature was?

Nevertheless, Riser didn't bother with Diehauser. 

With the end of the battle between Sona and Sairaorg, Riser decided to throw a party, and naturally, Diehauser wasn't invited and just left alone. 

The respect that everyone had for Diehauser had already disappeared. 

Still, Diehauser had a chance. 

The "Rating Game" between Sona and Sairaorg was nothing but just an appetizer. What made everyone excited was the fight between Riser and Diehauser. 

Lucifer and Champion. 

Who would win?

Just kidding. 

What kind of stupid question was that?

Even the children knew who would win!

Even those who were fanatics toward Diehauser couldn't make an argument that he could win against Riser, yet inwardly, they still hoped for Diehauser to show a miracle. 

Diehauser also thought so since he was going to show his power in front of everyone. 

Riser might be strong, but his arrogance was going to be his downfall. 

So, at the "Rating Game," when everyone was already prepared and waiting for the battle, Diehauser faced Riser and thought that he would show him why he was called the champion. 

Meanwhile, Riser tried to hold his yawn since he felt this fight would be boring. 

"Riser-sama, please try not to yawn. Your image might be ruined due to this." Yubelluna, his queen, made a whisper, causing everyone to laugh somehow. 

Riser only chuckled and said, "It's okay. Your words wake me up." 

"Onii-sama, how much do you need to defeat the "Champion"?" Ravel asked. 

"Try to count." 

Riser wasn't sure, but he was probably going to make a record on this "Rating Game."
