Chapter 61: Lords and Heir’s Reflect

The revelation of Raizer Phoenix's peerage sent shockwaves through the devil world. Sirzechs Lucifer's announcement had done more than inform the Devil Council—it had shattered preconceived notions about power, influence, and ambition. Within hours, the news spread to every corner of the underworld, reaching the ears of the Four Demon Lords, the 72 Pillars, and their heirs.

It was a development none of them could ignore, and behind closed doors, the leaders of the devil race grappled with the implications.

Sirzechs Lucifer's Perspective

In his private study, Sirzechs Lucifer sat behind a large oak desk, his crimson eyes scanning reports on Raizer Phoenix's accomplishments. Normally composed, he found himself unsettled. The magnitude of Raizer's power was daunting even by his standards.

"Four Super Devils," he murmured, leaning back in his chair. "Four of them in a single peerage."

The thought was staggering. Super Devils were rare, their strength often capable of changing the course of history. Yet Raizer had somehow managed to recruit not just one, but four of them. Garp, Whitebeard, Mihawk, and Gol D. Roger were names that commanded awe and fear.

"And the rest of his peerage," Sirzechs continued, his voice laced with disbelief. "All Satan-Class devils. Every. Single. One."

He set the report down and rubbed his temples, his mind racing. Raizer Phoenix wasn't just a prodigy; he was a phenomenon.

"What worries me most," Sirzechs muttered, "isn't just their strength. It's their loyalty to him. He's not simply leading them; he's inspiring them. A peerage like this doesn't happen by chance. It takes charisma, discipline, and vision."

His thoughts drifted to his younger sister, Rias, who had been given the opportunity to marry Raizer. Instead, she had dismissed him as lazy and arrogant.

Sirzechs sighed deeply, his frustration mounting. "Rias… if only you had seen him for what he truly is. Now, we're left watching from the sidelines as he rises to power."

Serafall Leviathan's Perspective

In her sprawling estate, Serafall Leviathan paced back and forth in her office. Her usual bubbly personality was absent, replaced by a rare seriousness. The report on Raizer Phoenix sat open on her desk, its contents swirling in her mind.

"Four Super Devils," she said aloud, shaking her head. "And an entire peerage of Satan-Class devils. When did something like this become possible?"

She paused by the window, gazing out at the gardens below. For years, she had been at the forefront of devil politics, her position as Leviathan securing her influence. Yet now, Raizer's rise made her question the balance of power in the underworld.

"And those alliances," Serafall muttered, turning back to her desk. "The Jinn, the Garuda, the Naga, the Dragon Clans… How did he manage to negotiate with so many reclusive and powerful factions?"

A small smile played on her lips, tinged with amusement. "The lords must be losing their minds. Someone like Raizer—young, ambitious, and not tied down by outdated traditions—will send them scrambling."

She sat down, tapping her fingers against the desk. "Still, I can't decide whether I should be worried or impressed. Maybe both."

Ajuka Beelzebub's Perspective

In the depths of his laboratory, surrounded by glowing runes and intricate machinery, Ajuka Beelzebub leaned over a holographic projection of Raizer Phoenix's peerage. Data streams and energy readings filled the air, each one more astonishing than the last.

"Super Devils," Ajuka murmured, his voice calm but thoughtful. "Four of them. Garp, Whitebeard, Mihawk, and Roger… all in one peerage. It's no wonder the council is panicking."

He adjusted his glasses, his sharp green eyes studying the data. "And Raizer himself. Mid-Satan Class at 24 years old. With his growth rate, he'll surpass most of us in just a few years."

Ajuka leaned back, folding his arms. "But it's not just his strength. It's his strategy. Those trade alliances with the Marid Jinn, the Garuda, and the Dragon Clans… they're not just about wealth. They're about influence. He's positioning himself as a central figure in the supernatural world."

A small smile tugged at his lips. "And all while letting the rumors about him persist. Clever. Very clever. He's hidden his true potential until now."

Ajuka's gaze shifted to a detailed energy scan of Raizer's peerage. "The council's red tape won't stop him. If anything, it'll make him work harder. Raizer Phoenix doesn't play by the rules. He makes his own."

Falbium Asmodeus's Perspective

In the quiet of his study, Falbium Asmodeus reclined in a luxurious armchair, a goblet of wine in hand. Unlike his fellow Demon Lords, he wasn't particularly alarmed by the news of Raizer's power. Instead, he found it… fascinating.

"Four Super Devils," Falbium said, swirling the wine in his goblet. "And an entire peerage of Satan-Class devils. Impressive. Very impressive."

He took a sip of his wine, his gaze thoughtful. "The boy's done what most of us couldn't. Garp, Whitebeard, Mihawk, Roger… those names alone could inspire fear in any faction. And to have them all united under one banner…"

Falbium chuckled softly. "The council will try to contain him with bureaucracy, but that won't work. Raizer Phoenix is playing a much larger game. And the rest of us? We're just trying to keep up."

The Lords of the 72 Pillars

At the estates of the 72 Pillars, the news of Raizer's rise sent shockwaves through the noble families. In the halls of the Bael Estate, Zekram Bael, the oldest and most powerful lord, was seething.

"This boy," Zekram muttered, pacing the room. "He's accomplished what none of us could. Four Super Devils, alliances with the most powerful supernatural factions… he's built an empire while we were too blind to see it."

His sharp gaze turned toward a report on his desk. "The Phoenix family must be laughing at us. We dismissed them as lesser nobility, and now their heir has outmaneuvered us all."

The Heirs React

For the younger generation, the news was equally shocking. In the Bael estate's grand hall, whispers of envy and disbelief filled the air.

"How did he do it?" one heir muttered, his voice tinged with jealousy. "At 24, he's already more powerful than most of our fathers."

"It's unfair," another said bitterly. "How are we supposed to compete with someone like that?"

"It's not just his strength," a third added. "It's his connections. He's built alliances we couldn't even dream of."

Grayfia's Thoughts

Back at the Gremory Estate, Grayfia Lucifuge sat in quiet contemplation. The news of Raizer's peerage and alliances had left her unsettled.

"Raizer Phoenix," she murmured, her silver eyes distant. "A young devil who has accomplished what many of us believed impossible. His power, his discipline, his vision… it's remarkable."

Her thoughts drifted to the council's reaction. "They think they can contain him, but they're wrong. Raizer doesn't play by their rules. He's already proven that he's a step ahead."

She glanced at Sirzechs, who was pacing nearby. "If Raizer continues to grow, he won't just be a powerful ally. He'll be a force that reshapes the underworld entirely."

Cliffhanger: A New Era

As the news of Raizer Phoenix's rise spread, the reactions of the Four Demon Lords, the noble lords, and their heirs painted a clear picture: the underworld would never be the same. Some admired him, others feared him, but all were forced to acknowledge his power.

Far away, in the Shadowed Cliff Castle, Raizer remained unaware of the storm his name had unleashed. But for those watching, one thing was certain—his next move would shape the future of the devil world.
