"Wait! Hibari Kyoya! Didn't you want a soul? I'll give it to you!" At this moment, Hades was completely panicked.

Now that Loki and Fenrir had been dealt with by Kyoya—he, the God of the Realm of the Dead, was no match for him.

Therefore, to survive, Hades immediately admitted defeat and surrendered.

Seeing Hades begging for mercy, I narrowed my eyes and spoke coldly, "Giving up just because you can't win? Nice try."

Saying this, the [Heaven-Tearing Claw] extended, covering my entire arm, flickering with purple-black magic power.

"Damn it! Hibari Kyoya, must you push this to mutual destruction?!" Seeing this, Hades roared furiously.

Hearing this, I scoffed. "With just you? Do you have what it takes?!"

My taunting words were like salt on a wound for Hades. He responded with a sinister tone.

"Fine! I'll grant your wish!" With that, Hades took out his weapons—the Helm of Darkness and the Scythe of Death.

The moment he donned the Helm of Darkness, Hades' figure vanished from my sight.

'Hmm?' Seeing Hades turn invisible, I felt a flicker of curiosity, but then spoke slowly.

"You think going invisible means I can't find you? Naive!" Finally, I slowly raised my hand. A frightening magic power capable of extinguishing all existence surged forth!

Even the space within the Realm of the Dead began to twist and deform under this immense magic power.

The horrible magic power almost materialized. Even the previously invisible Hades reappeared at this moment.

All the Grim Reapers in the Realm of the Dead, including Hades himself, trembled under this pressure.

Suddenly, the recovered Hades gritted his teeth and launched an attack.

Because he knew, if he didn't act now, once I fully unleashed my power, he would be the one to die.

However, facing Hades' Scythe of Death attack, a cold smile appeared on my face.

The next moment, I raised the [Heaven-Tearing Claw] high and slashed several times.

The purple-black slashes, with their overwhelming destructive power, directly shattered Hades' Scythe of Death.

Even Hades himself narrowly avoided the direct hit of the [Heaven-Tearing Claw]. Despite this, he still suffered severe trauma.

CRACK!!!

One slash directly shattered his arm into fragments.

"AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!"

Although Hades' true form was a skeleton and felt no pain from physical attacks, the God-Slaying power carried by my [Heaven-Tearing Claw] still made him scream in agony.

Witnessing this scene, the eyes of the Grim Reapers filled with utter horror.

Seeing Hades severely injured and his power declining, I immediately used [Mental Out] to forcibly extract information about the Hades Alliance and the [Khaos Brigade].

After obtaining the evidence, I showed no mercy and directly killed Hades.

After all, this guy was a menace and would later even be captured by an otherworldly Evil God, becoming a test subject.

Might as well give him a quick end now!

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for killing Hades, God of the Realm of the Dead. Obtained one Purple Grade sign-in gift bag!]

However, to maintain the normal order of the Realm of the Dead, I supported Bennia's father, the Ultimate-class Grim Reaper Orcus, to take charge, becoming the new God of the Realm of the Dead.

———

After resolving the matters, I took Shuri Himejima's soul and returned to the Gremory Territory.

Fearing the jealousy of the girls at home, I didn't bring Bennia and Ingvild Leviathan back this time.

Upon seeing Shuri Himejima's soul, Baraqiel, a grown man, couldn't help but shed tears, crying like a child.

As for Azazel, Sirzechs, Odin, and the others, after hearing about my actions, they were utterly speechless.

Just moments ago, I had said I would spare Hades' life.

Yet, the moment I got my hands on evidence of his collusion, I eliminated him without hesitation.

'Good grief!!'

Fortunately, I had only killed Hades, and the order of the Realm of the Dead remained stable.

More importantly, I had obtained a series of evidence and intelligence regarding the Hades Alliance and the [Khaos Brigade].

Because of this, the leaders of the four factions—Sirzechs, Azazel, Michael, and Odin—prepared to discuss how to resolve the Hades Alliance issue.

———

Next, I repaired and nourished Shuri Himejima's soul.

As for the subsequent resurrection of Shuri, I left it to Baraqiel and Azazel.

After all, resurrecting a human with an intact soul was an easy task for Azazel, the Governor-General of the Fallen Angels.

———

Exiting the conference room, I checked my rewards as I walked.

[Ding! Purple Grade sign-in gift bag opened successfully. Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Gift (Sun Wheel Wings of Fire and Flames).]

The system's voice sounded, making me raise an eyebrow.

"Is this a Gift from the world of Little Garden?"

This Gift came from the Great Sage who Leaves Heaven in Disarray—Roc Demon King. Her strength reached the peak of 3-Digits.

If converted to the DxD world, her strength was comparable to Great Red.

And the scorching flames of the Golden Wing Flames—"Sun Wheel Wings of Fire and Flames,"—possessed the highest-ranking Gift capable of countering Gods and Dragons. Once touched, not even the soul would remain.

Its frightening degree far surpassed the God-Slaying attribute of the [Heaven-Tearing Claw], and it also came with Dragon-Slaying properties. Killing two birds with one stone...

I was very satisfied with this reward. I didn't even notice the figure walking towards me until I bumped into her, only then reacting.

——

"Lord Kyoya! Please watch where you're going."

Hearing the voice, I looked up, my pupils constricting.

Standing before me was a graceful woman. She had smooth, silver long hair, fair skin, slender eyebrows, and eyes as bright as rubies, appearing elegant and noble.

"GRAYFIA!" Seeing the girl's face, I couldn't help but exclaim.

I hadn't expected that after being in the Realm of the Dead for so long, I would unexpectedly encounter the renowned Silver-Haired Queen of Annihilation.

——

[Ding! Sign-in Character Discovered: Grayfia Lucifuge; Task Grade: Black; Task Condition: Recruit her as Head Maid!]

——

'Uh... This task seems a bit...'

For a moment, I really didn't know how to begin.

"It's a pleasure to meet you for the first time, Lord Kyoya. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave—" Seeing me staring blankly, Grayfia spoke again.

"Um~ Grayfia, would you like to be my Head Maid?" Pushing aside all reservations, I decided to be direct.

"!!!!"

Grayfia's eyes widened in astonishment, staring at me incredulously.

After a long pause, she finally asked slowly.

"Lord Kyoya, may I ask why you wish for me to become your Head Maid?"

"Why...? Because I think you're perfectly suited to be a maid!" After thinking for a moment, I added.

"But most importantly, I've taken a liking to you!!!"

Grayfia: "..."

Even Grayfia, with her cold and serious personality, couldn't help but twitch her lips upon hearing my words.

"I see. Since it is Lord Kyoya's request, I accept!" However, ultimately, Grayfia nodded with a serious expression.
