Chapter 247 Dealing with Noise
Sazex's slap shattered the old devil's teeth and the illusions of all the old nobles present.
The whole place was dead silent.
You can hear a pin drop.
Those who had come with the old goatee demon, intending to give the new demon king a hard time and also to teach the old folks of the Gremory family a lesson, were all frozen in place.
Their minds were turned into a complete mess by this mind-blowing scene.
Lucifer, the Demon King; Sadax, the Gremory.
This man is someone they've watched grow up.
He was gentle, he considered the big picture, and he even tolerated the old folks' arrogance for the sake of stability in the underworld.
When did he become so violent and ruthless?
Just for one human being?
"you you……"
The old demon with the goatee, who had been knocked to the ground, covered his swollen face, his cloudy eyes filled with unbelievable anger and humiliation.
"Sazex! You've gone mad! You actually assaulted a pure-blood noble elder for the sake of an outsider! This is a desecration of the system! A betrayal of the honor of our ancestors!"
"glory?"
Sazex chuckled coldly as he slowly, step by step, walked up to the old man.
Condescending.
Those eyes, belonging to the Demon King, held no warmth whatsoever, only biting coldness and... disgust.
"Is your glory to drag the entire underworld into an abyss of eternal damnation?"
"Is your glory to use your pitiful, long-rotten bloodline to provoke an existence that can even stand head-on against the Infinite Dragon God?"
"I'm giving you face, not because your old face is so important."
Sazex's voice wasn't loud, but it struck the hearts of every old nobleman like a heavy hammer.
"It's because I can't be bothered to argue with an old relic like you who lives thousands of years in the past!"
"But today, you've offered your face up for me to hit."
"Then I will grant your wish!"
"you!"
The old devil with the goatee was trembling with rage, but he couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.
Infinite Dragon God!
These four words were like an insurmountable mountain, pressing down on him and making it hard for him to breathe.
"Alright, alright, Sirzechs-chan, don't get angry with these old men who are about to die."
Seraphim Leviathan, dressed in a pink magical girl outfit, hopped and skipped over.
She smiled and spoke to the pale-faced old demons in an innocent tone.
"If you keep arguing and make Xiao Yeye unhappy, I'll be in a lot of trouble."
"At that time, I might not be able to resist turning your castles into beautiful ice sculptures~"
Her smile was sweet, but the content of her words sent chills down the spines of all the old demons.
This is no longer a threat.
This is a stark warning!
On the other side, Achuka Beelzebub, who had been engrossed in tinkering with a Rubik's Cube-like artifact, also pushed up his glasses.
"From a computational perspective, your value is approaching a negative number."
He spoke in a factual, emotionless tone.
"Continuing to output invalid data will only accelerate system crashes. The most rational approach is to format the data."
Formatting process!
These old demons understood.
This is to completely erase them, along with their families, from the map of the underworld!
"enough!"
An older demon of higher status finally couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward, roaring at Sazex with a fierce but weak voice.
"So what if he's powerful! The dignity of us pure-blooded demons cannot be trampled upon! To marry the Demon King's sister, one must have a matching bloodline and status! This is an unshakeable ironclad rule for pure-blooded demons of the Underworld!"
"Ironclad rules?"
Zhou Ye, who had been silent all along, finally reacted.
He didn't even glance at the old devil.
He simply reached out and gently placed his hand on Rias's shoulder.
Then he laughed.
"Does my woman require me to match her with bloodlines?"
"It's...ridiculous."
He spoke slowly, his voice not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.
"What you call ironclad rules are worthless to me."
"From today onwards, I am the rule."
The moment the words fell.
The old devil who clamored about the "ironclad rules" suddenly trembled.
He felt it.
It wasn't intimidation, it wasn't murderous intent, it was nothing at all.
He simply felt that his "connection" with the world had been severed.
Magic cannot be mobilized.
Control over our bodies is rapidly slipping away.
He could even "see" that the concept of his own existence was being stripped away and erased from this world.
Like... a piece of redundant, incorrect code.
fear!
An unprecedented, overwhelming fear, originating from the deepest recesses of his soul, overwhelmed all his reason and dignity.
"Pfft!"
His legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground, a dark stain quickly spreading across his crotch.
I was so scared I peed my pants.
The entire platform fell into a deathly silence once again.
This time, no one dared to make a sound.
The faces of all the old nobles were filled with horror and despair.
They finally understood the true meaning of Sazex's words in the most tragic and direct way.
This is not a strong person.
This is a... incomprehensible, unfathomable, and insurmountable... monster!
“Someone come here…”
Sazex's expression remained unchanged; he waved his hand dismissively.
"Drag all these... eyesores away."
"Yes!"
The Demon King's personal guard, who had been waiting in advance, immediately stepped forward.
They acted roughly and without any courtesy, lifting up those limp old devils and dragging them off the platform one by one like dead dogs.
Throughout the entire process, not a single old demon dared to resist.
He couldn't even utter a sound of begging for mercy.
As the last old man's figure disappeared at the end of the platform.
Sazex, who was as cold as ice a moment ago, suddenly had a warm smile on his face.
He strode up to Zhou Ye, his attitude so intimate that even Rias felt a little uncomfortable.
"Haha, brother-in-law! I'm so sorry you had to see this!"
"Some old fools who don't know their own limits spoiled your fun; it's really our fault."
Duke Geotix, who was standing next to him, also stepped forward and looked at Zhou Ye with the eyes of someone looking at a rare treasure, grinning from ear to ear.
"Yes, son-in-law. Please come in, please come in! Vinilana has prepared the most sumptuous feast, and is just waiting for your arrival!"
The speed at which Zhou Ye changed his expression left Nami and the others behind him stunned.
Just now, there was a political storm that would determine the future of the underworld.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into an incredibly harmonious family gathering.
Zhou Ye looked at the overly enthusiastic father and son in front of him and couldn't help but find it amusing.
He could sense that Sazex's anger just now was half an act to establish his authority in front of the old nobles, and the other half was a genuine fear from the bottom of his heart.
He is afraid.
He was afraid that the fools' reckless actions might actually anger him, bringing annihilation to the entire underworld.
