After all the Devils had shared their dreams and received their fill of motivational speeches, the banquet officially moved on to the main topic.
Sirzechs and the other three Maous began a heated discussion regarding the matter of the [Khaos Brigade].
Just then, Sairaorg, much like in the original story, suddenly declared his desire to join the fight.
"Your Majesty Sirzechs, like Hibari Kyoya, I wish to join the main force in subjugating the [Khaos Brigade]. Please grant me permission!"
Hearing this, Sirzechs looked at Sairaorg's solemn face, his brow furrowing immediately as he refused without hesitation.
"No, I do not approve! You should remain in the Underworld and continue your training."
"Hmm? Why?" Sairaorg asked, a puzzled expression appearing on his face.
He had assumed His Majesty Sirzechs would agree to his request, especially since his dream was to become a Maou.
If he could successfully join the subjugation of the [Khaos Brigade], his chances of competing for the Maou position in the future would greatly increase.
As for staying in the Underworld to train—that wasn't suitable for him anymore. What he needed now was life-or-death combat experience, the tempering of blood and battle.

Seeing Sairaorg's stubborn expression, Sirzechs and the others exchanged wry smiles and shook their heads. Sirzechs then tried to persuade him.
"Sairaorg, your current strength is insufficient. Subjugating the [Khaos Brigade] is too dangerous. As an elite of the new generation of Devils, I absolutely will not allow you to participate!"
Sirzechs's tone was firm, clearly intending to quash Sairaorg's request.
After all, the number of pure-blood Devils in the Underworld was already dwindling, with a clear generational gap. Now that they finally had a successor with such outstanding strength, character, and potential, Sirzechs and the others absolutely couldn't allow him to come to harm.
Hearing Sirzechs's firm refusal, Sairaorg grew anxious and retorted somewhat defiantly.
"Your Majesty Sirzechs, since Hibari Kyoya participated in the battle against the [Khaos Brigade], I can too."
"Let me fight Hibari Kyoya once. If I win, please don't stop me from joining the battle against the [Khaos Brigade]!"
"!!!"
I, who had been watching the show, suddenly felt my mouth twitch, utterly speechless.
'How did this suddenly involve me?'
Sairaorg's astonishing declaration also stunned Sirzechs and the other high-ranking Devils, their faces turning extremely strange.
"Sairaorg... do you know what you're saying?"
After a long silence in the hall, Sirzechs finally looked at him with a peculiar expression and slowly uttered a few words.
Maou Ajuka Beelzebub also tried to dissuade him. "Sairaorg, you should give up!"
'Seriously? wanting to fight Hibari Kyoya? You've got guts, kid. Talk about reckless youth!'
Forget just you; even if the entire Underworld's Devil population teamed up, they probably wouldn't be enough for Kyoya to handle.
Even without using his trump card, Kyoya possesses power comparable to the Dragon Gods. Not to mention the power of that [Dragon Phantom]!
Gutsy!
Really gutsy!
<><><><><><><>
Despite the persuasion from the Underworld's higher-ups, Sairaorg remained unmoved, stubbornly insisting.
"Your Majesties, please don't try to persuade me any further. I'm determined to have this battle—and I'm willing to accept the consequences."
Although he knew I was strong, he wouldn't back down. Even if he lost the match, he would have no regrets.
"What a headache. Kyoya, what are your thoughts on this matter?"
Seeing things develop to this point, Sirzechs was also uncertain. Out of respect, he asked for my opinion.
"Very well, I'll spar with him. Let him see how vast the world truly is!"
Hearing this, I pondered for a moment, then finally agreed to his request.
'Sigh~~ Sairaorg, don't blame me later for being ruthless. This is for your own good!'
The terrorists of the [Khaos Brigade] were practically all insane. They were not opponents Sairaorg could deal with.
Although Sairaorg was strong, it was only relative to the new generation of Devils. If he encountered—Cao Cao, Rizevim Livan Lucifer, Vali, and the others—he'd be no match for them and might even lose his life.
Hearing my words, Sirzechs breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Kyoya."
"Sairaorg, I accept your request. If you can defeat Hibari Kyoya, then I will approve your joining the main force against the [Khaos Brigade]."
"However, if you lose, then stay obediently in the Underworld and continue your training!" Sirzechs then turned to Sairaorg, speaking with a serious expression.
<><><><><><><>
His words caused an uproar. The Devils below the dais were already stunned beyond words.
They wondered about my identity—how could I sit on equal footing with the Four Great Maous? Even the Maou were respectful towards me?!
And they were even more curious about how strong I really was, that the Devil higher-ups unanimously believed Sairaorg, the top Devil King, would undoubtedly lose!
Rias, Sona, and the others—familiar with all my abilities—looked strangely at Sairaorg, pity evident in their eyes.
'Sairaorg, you could have challenged anyone, why did you have to challenge Kyoya?'
Thinking back to how I had trained them, Rias and the others couldn't help but shudder.
<><><><><><><>
Soon, an alternate dimension battlefield appeared. Due to the special nature of this match, Maou Ajuka, the inventor of the Evil Pieces, personally constructed it.
Immediately, Sairaorg and I entered the sparring ground—a vast plain.
Watching Sairaorg and me, Sirzechs asked with interest, "How many moves do you think it will take Kyoya to defeat Sairaorg?"
His words piqued the interest of the other three Maous, who enthusiastically shared their opinions!
"I think if Kyoya Goes all out, he can kill Sairaorg in one move!" Serafall spoke first.
To this, Falbium had a different opinion.
"No, no, no! Even if he doesn't use his full power, Sairaorg probably won't last a single hit!"
"Mm! I absolutely agree!" Ajuka nodded.
"...."
Watching the Four Great Maous arguing and the other Devil nobles joining in, the numerous Devils below were completely dumbfounded.
'What is going on?'
Especially the words of the Maous—left many Devils astonished, their faces filled with disbelief.
Remember, Sairaorg, the leader of the new generation of Devil Kings, was a genuine Ultimate-class powerhouse.
Yet he would be instantly killed? By someone not even using their full strength?!
However, recalling the attitude of the Four Great Maous and other high-ranking Devils towards me—perhaps I really did possess such strength.
Subsequently, the Devils' eyes lit up with excitement, staring intently at Sairaorg and me, afraid of missing some astonishing scene.
