Riser Phenex isn't a villain

Chapter 161: Tools

Chapter 161: Tools

To make Riser understand the danger of the Khaos Brigade, Azazel explained the origin of this terrorist organization from the beginning.

To be honest, while Riser didn't know all the plots, he knew some of them and had confirmed that many things were similar to what he knew from his previous life.

However, Riser looked at the group of fallen angels, who prepared all the data that he would take home and knew. He could see that it would take a while before they finished, so he still had time and didn't mind listening to Azazel's explanation.

The origin of the Khaos Brigade started from the traitor from Grigori, Satanael, and the magician criminal organization, the Wizards of Oz. Then, as the two had been defeated a few years ago, out of nowhere, Ophis got her hands on this organization with the intention of defeating the Great Red.

Ophis knew that she would lose against the Great Red, so she gathered followers to help her, yet due to her naivety, instead of helping her, all of those followers were using her, using her power to reach their own purposes.

"Those followers are divided into several factions, with Ophis as the figurehead.

"The first is Old Satan Faction."

"Old Satan?"

"You should know the history of the devil, right? The Devil Civil War. The war between the Old Satan descendants and the current Maous and the Great King. They don't have the power to fight the Four Great Maous directly like you, so they join this organization. Oh, this is also the largest faction of the Khaos Brigade."

Nevertheless, Azazel didn't think about this faction seriously, as he knew they were just defeated dogs. He believed that if Riser wished to, Riser would be able to erase them with ease.

Then, as expected—

"What's the next faction?"

Riser didn't seem to take these factions seriously, which was something that Azazel had expected.

"The second is the Hero Faction, and it is also the second largest faction. It is a group of humans, especially the descendants of heroes and the holders of Sacred Gear. While I don't have much information about this group, the leader is the holder of True Longinus, the strongest Longinus within the Sacred Gear."

"...."

In the beginning, Raynare, Mittelt, and even Kalawarna disdained this Hero Faction as they were just a group of humans, but their faces changed when they heard the leader of this group was the holder of the True Longinus.

As Azazel's followers, they knew how much time, money, and power poured into researching Sacred Gear in their organization, and due to this, they knew how powerful Sacred Gear was. It was also the reason why Raynare killed Issei and stole Asia's Sacred Gear.

The holder of the strongest Sacred Gear had joined the terrorist organization.

They couldn't imagine what would happen to the world after this.

Still, unlike the Old Satan Faction, Riser was quite interested when he heard about the Hero Faction.

"Are you interested in this faction?" Azazel asked.

"Why do you ask?"

"If you get your hands on the Sacred Gears or the Longinus, can you let me do some research?" Azazel was almost begging. After all, he knew if Riser really decided to move, this group of Hero Faction might be crushed. Still, if the Hero Faction could defeat Riser, then it was good. After all, who wished their organization to become the subordinate of others?

Yet, somehow, Azazel just couldn't imagine how Riser was going to lose.

"What do you think?"

Nevertheless, Riser's answer was so flat.

"..."

Azazel could only sigh and then explain the third faction, which was a magician faction within the Khaos Brigade, Nilrem.

"So there are only the three of them?" Riser suddenly asked.

"What do you mean?" Azazel asked with confusion, but his heart was beating so fast. Still, he forced himself to calm as Riser's gaze pierced deep into his body.

"Well, if you say so."

Riser didn't force Azazel, but he knew that it was better to erase this guy so he could completely dominate the Grigori.

However, Azazel secretly sighed in relief as Riser didn't press him further.

Still, Riser suddenly wondered how the Khaos Brigade supported their members. It was just his guts, but he felt something terrible was going to happen somehow.

Riser looked at Azazel and asked,"By the way, do you know how they support their members?"

"Hmm?" Azazel thought for a moment and said, "Well, Ophis can bestow her power into all the members, making them stronger."

While Riser was surprised that Ophis could have such a power, this wasn't something that he wanted to ask.

"You know that we need to eat, a place to eat, and many others, right? Do you know where they can get their financial support?"

"Hmm..."

Azazel thought for a moment and realized that this was his missing link. Yet, he couldn't be blamed as his source of information also didn't show much interest in this matter, so he was quite clueless.

However, Riser's words also opened his eyes.

If they cut the financial resources of the Khaos Brigade, everyone would become wary of this organization as it would fight the other pantheons to rob the resources of others to support their activity. By then, when everyone knew how dangerous this terrorist organization was, not only the devils, fallen angels, and angels, but all the pantheons would be in peace so they could stop this disaster.

So, it was due to that—

"Don't worry, I won't destroy them."

"Th-That's great..." While Azazel felt awkward, he sighed in relief.

Frankly, if Azazel or Ajuka wished to move, this organization was as good as dead, but they still needed this organization, so it would become a righteous excuse for their peace.

By then, as time passed, the peace, which they felt, would become a norm and common sense among the three factions.

This was no doubt the wish of Azazel, Sirzech, and the others.

Nevertheless, when there was a villain, there had always been a hero.

"So, who is the next tool?" Riser suddenly asked, wondering who would become the tool that would become the representative of justice among the three factions.

"...don't say it like that? Your words make us feel like bad guys. We are just doing something good for the future of everyone..." Even so, there was no doubt that they were going to use someone for their own agenda.

Still, Azazel was worried, especially when he thought about the identity of the individual that they had chosen. Frankly, while he was worried, he knew that there was no perfect guy other than that person, especially when that guy's head was only filled with perverted thoughts.

Nevertheless, Azazel knew that there was the easiest method, and he was sure that Riser also knew about this method, yet neither of them said anything about this method.

Domination.

This was the easiest method to gain peace.

As long as Riser was strong enough and dominated the fallen angels, devils, and also the angels and became the leader of everyone, the peace that they sought would be completed.

Frankly, if Sirzech was ruthless enough, or Ajuka was more diligent, then this method might be able to be implemented.

No, if they were a little stronger then—

Nevertheless, it was too late, especially when the fallen angels were already conquered by Riser.

So, the only way to achieve peace was by using the Khaos Brigade as the symbol of terror for everyone andthe other piece, which would become the symbol of peace for everyone.

"The holder of Boosted Gear, the Red Dragon Emperor.

"Issei Hyoudou."

Azazel took a deep breath and frankly told Riser the truth, "This is our next tool, and he will become the symbol of peace for everyone."
