Riser Phenex isn't a villain

Chapter 154: Who can kill me?

Chapter 154: Who can kill me?

The coronation of Riser Phenex from the high-class devil into the ultimate-class devil was announced.

When this news was announced, everyone was surprised, especially the one who would lead this coronation would be Zekram Bael.

While everyone knew the one who led the Great King Faction was Lord Bael, those who stood above knew the real leader of the Great King Faction, and the leader of the Bael House was Zekram Bael.

As for Lord Bael, he was nothing but a puppet who would listen to whatever his daddy said.

Many were happy due to his promotion, especially the Phenex House and the Sitri House.

Even though Riser's stance became quite sensitive as he had decided to follow the Great King Faction, as he was directly under Zekram Bael instead of other goons, they felt better.

As for the Four Great Satans, as they had the backing of Serafall Levithan, no one would bother them.

Under the umbrella of Zekram Bael and Serafall Leviathan, there was no doubt whether it was the Phenex House or the Sitri House; they were all smooth sailing.

While many were dissatisfied, as the position of the two houses was so enviable, they couldn't say anything since their power was so weak.

In the end, power determines everything.

If Riser Phenex hadn't been born, could the progress of the two houses be so smooth sailing?

It was also due to this that many could only sigh, feeling regret as they didn't have a good son like Lord Phenex did.

Nevertheless, their discussion meant nothing to Riser.

Still, with his hobby, it was impossible for him to be low-key, and there was also something to be announced so his coronation would be broadcast on television.

Naturally, many people would watch as many wanted to see Zekram Bael, the ancestor of the Bael House, and Riser Phenex, the beast of the Phenex House.

Due to that gimmick, once again, Riser became the center of everyone again.

Frankly, Riser had always been confused as the Four Great Satans were coming from a noble family, yet even though they enjoyed the privilege of being a member of a noble, they tried to destroy this privilege.

He wondered what was on the head of those Four Great Satans.

Many often said that they were amazing and all, but Riser just couldn't help but think that their heads turned into mush.

Nevertheless, he decided to ignore those problems and received congratulations from many.

Yet, when everyone was happy for him, he was rather flat about his promotion as it was something inevitable. With his achievement, it was only a time before he became the "Ultimate-Class Devil." Even if Sirzech could stop his promotion momentarily, it would have been impossible for him to do it forever.

Still, there was something that he wanted to do, so he wanted to become the "Ultimate-Class Devil" as soon as possible.

However, before his promotion, there was something that he needed to do.

He looked at the new Devil Fruit, which he had received before, and ate it without hesitation.

Unlike in the story, where it was impossible to eat two Devil Fruits, his version could eat more than one; because of this, he didn't hesitate and ate his new Devil Fruit.

Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix.

In that moment, he gained the ability to transform into a phoenix (and phoenix hybrid) at will.

Frankly, as a member of the Phenex House, he could also become a phoenix, but the phoenix transformation he gained from this Devil Fruit was different as it had a blue color and gave him various abilities.

Yet, there was no doubt the most noticeable improvement was in his physical ability.

He could feel that he had become stronger, and probably, he could even throw a mountain with pure physical ability.

If he added his Demonic Power and other abilities, he could become even stronger.

While he knew it might sound arrogant, he might have the strongest physical ability among all the devils or even mythical beings.

If someone could match him on the physical prowess, then it was only a dragon.

As for the rest?

They would hardly be able to damage him.

Nevertheless, while this Devil Fruit gave him an improvement in his physical ability, this wasn't the strongest point of this Devil Fruit. Instead, it was the improvement of speed and resilience.

Speed aside, his resilience was amazing.

He had tried it before, and even if his heart, liver, and many parts of his body were stabbed, he could stay alive without being hurt. Even though his midsection was run through by blades and parts of his head and neck blown off, he was okay and healed.

Frankly, while this troubled him slightly as "Crisis" wouldn't work unless he was badly injured, his "Reflector" was working as all the accumulation of wounds and injuries would be stored and could be released anytime, even if those wounds and injuries had been healed due to his enormous resilience.

To be honest, he wondered whether there was anything that could kill him in this world.

When he thought of the combination of "Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix," "Crisis," "Orichalcos," and "Immorality of the Phenex House," were there true beings that could kill him?

Moreover, if he wanted to escape, he could use either "Trick Star" or the "Area of Invisibility."

By now, he knew that in this Underworld, his might was already comparable to Sirzech and Ajuka. Even though his Demonic Power was still lower than them, if they really fought each other, he didn't think he would lose.

Nevertheless, their battle would be an ugly battle.

Yet, except for his battle with Issei, almost all of his battles were quite ugly.

No, it should be brutal, as his fight had always been filled with blood.

However, it didn't matter.

"Onii-sama, you are so strong..."

"...." Riser.

Yubelluna rubbed his chest obsessively, lying on his chest as she was unable to wake up. Even after he took down all of his peerage members, who had celebrated his promotion to the "Ultimate-Class Devil," he was still able to take care of her.

Even more, Yubelluna lost.

Yubelluna had to admit that if she was alone, she knew even if she had become stronger due to the "Queen" trait, her body might be wrecked by him.

Yet, this physical prowess made all of them crazy for him.

By now, whether it was Yubelluna or the others, they couldn't be satisfied with anything other than him, and they were truly addicted to him.

Frankly, it might be wise of them to ask him to have more harem members, as it might be impossible for them to take care of him alone.

Still, the best part of his Devil Fruit was the new trait of his fire.

Suddenly, a blue fire covered Yubelluna, and she moaned in enjoyment as her body was healed.

Unlike before, where he needed to use healing magic to heal others, this time, a healing trait was added to his fire.

Flames of Regeneration.

Not only could it heal the wounds and injuries, it could also heal the diseases and many others.

Moreover, it seemed due to this trait, his "Phenex Tears" had become more potent, and he might be able to heal the Sleeping Disease with his "Phenex Tears."

"Riser-sama, are you not going to sleep?"

Yubelluna covered her body with a blanket, ignoring her messy hair when she saw he had woken up.

"I am planning to go somewhere for a moment."

Riser felt that he had to test his newfound ability.

"Huh? Where? We're in the middle of the night, you know?" Yubelluna was speechless.

"Headquarters of Grigori."

"...what?"

Yubelluna was in shock, but her lips were kissed before she could even react.

"Just wait here. I will go home soon."

After he wore his clothes, he transformed into a phoenix before he soared into the sky at a fast speed.

Watching Riser, who had become a phoenix, Yubelluna became more obsessive that it was morbid-like as she knew that her master had become even stronger. Still, after a moment, she realized something.

"...headquarters of Grigori? There is no way, right?"
