Riser Phenex isn't a villain

Chapter 258: Mr. X

Chapter 258: Mr. X

"Azazel!"

The moment Azazel appeared, several figures appeared, gathering around him.

"How is Bikou?"

"What about Onii-sama?"

The two figures were so anxious that they didn't even give Azazel time to breathe.

"Sorry, I can't get them."

Azazel looked at the two figures and apologized.

"Those bastards! How dare they?!"

The short, old monkey with a funky appearance crushed the smoke pipe on his hand as he roared in anger.

"Onii-sama..."

A young girl with a witch-like appearance was crying silently.

Watching the two, Azazel rolled his eyes, wondering whether Bikou and Arthur would be okay the moment they invaded Riser's domain.

While Azazel felt regret as he was unable to do anything, he didn't care much about Arthur and Bikou as this was something they asked for. This was the price of their stupidity, and they needed to pay it.

"Where are they?"

Suddenly, from behind two, a single familiar figure said.

There was no need for Azazel to guess whose voice this was. "Don't do something stupid again, Vali!" He was almost enough with Vali's stupidity, and he wouldn't let Vali do something stupid once again. Moreover, they hadn't found Mr. "X," who was the cause of his misery.

"You haven't even found the Mr. "X," and now you want to provoke the devils, fallen angels, and angels? If you do something stupid again, your mother and stepsiblings might die like your stepfather did!"

There was no mercy in Azazel's words; Vali directly flinched as he thought about the death of his mother's new husband. Their cries, sadness, and depression. He still remembered all of them, and it was enough to crush his heart.

"Enough! I will do it myself! Tell me where Bikou is, Azazel! Even if I have to do it alone, I will save my family!"

Sun Wukong didn't care about their drama; what he cared about was his grandson. As for the consequences of his actions? So what? Even Buddha couldn't kill him; who was he afraid of?

Moreover, compared to the devils, China's myth was much longer, and in Sun Wukong's eyes, the devils were nothing but a group of children!

"Now, where did they keep my grandson? Tell me, Azazel!"

"I will come and ask my family to help!"

Le Fay Pendragon, Arthur's little sister, also said. While they might be disowned by their family, it didn't mean their family didn't care about them. Moreover, Arthur was holding the Caliburn and the Excalibur Ruler. There was no way for their family to let the devils hold the weapons of their ancestors!

Even the members of the Slash Dog were ready to help, as there was no way they could let Kuroka, Arthur, and Bikou be caught by the devils.

"STOP!!!"

Azazel was so angry that he was ready to kill all of them. "IF YOU DON'T LISTEN TO ME THEN I WILL KILL ALL OF YOU HERE!"

His anger was like an eruption as he faced Sun Wukong, Le Fay, and everyone in this place.

"...Azazel...?"

Everyone was stunned, as it was their first time seeing Azazel was so angry.

"Calm down, okay? Our enemies are hiding in the dark, and there are many things that make me confused."

To be honest, when Ajuka was so eager to take Bikou and Arthur, he became confused about the identity of Mr. "X." Logically, those who were interested in Bikou and Arthur were Mr. "X," who had done many things to Vali, even forcing him to kill Sirzech.

Yet, could Vali kill Sirzech?

No way!

Azazel didn't think that Vali could kill Sirzech with his current power, yet Vali could do it!

So, how did this happen?

If nothing had happened to Sirzech previously, Azazel wouldn't believe it, and someone must have done something to Sirzech. However, he didn't have a clue or even proof of his conjecture. Everything was foggy, and he was blind to his surroundings, unable to tell everything.

Even worse, Kuroka, Arthur, and Bikou had made a mess that caused everything to be ruined.

'Ajuka...'

While Azazel didn't want to think so, somehow, he felt the probability of this devil killing Sirzech was high. He had considered Ajuka before and even felt that Ajuka was his ally, but Ajuka's change in the meeting made him change his opinion toward Ajuka.

As for Riser?

Riser was the same; nothing changed.

"How long are you going to make me wait?" Sun Wukong asked Azazel after calming down. He might be reckless, but it didn't mean he was stupid.

"Wait a moment. Someone is going to come to help us soon."

"Someone?"

"You will be surprised."

Everyone believed in Azazel as they knew Azazel was the person who wished to help Vali the most, so they waited, but they were startled when they heard a voice from the distance.

"Azazel, you have played a dangerous game."

Everyone raised their guard when they heard this voice, and soon, they saw the source of this voice.

"No way..." Sun Wukong raised his sunglasses as he was dumbfounded when he saw this figure.

The elderly man with long white hair and an eyepatch came toward them, walking with ease.

While some were confused, Azazel greeted this elderly man with a smile. "I know, but I want to reveal this fake peace, Odin."

"Odin?!"

Hearing the name of this elderly man, everyone widened their eyes.

"Fake peace, huh? Is that bad? As long as everyone lives well, isn't that good enough?" Odin looked at Azazel with a laugh.

"No." Azazel shook his head. "There is this hidden danger that is hiding among us, and using the Khaos Brigade as a cover to hide themselves. Moreover, this fake peace will crumble sooner or later, so we need a genuine peace that can last forever."

"Is that so?" Odin smiled, then asked, "So what do you want my help with?"

"Here." Azazel brought Vali in front of Odin and said, "I feel that someone had used magic to mess up his brain. Can you help me smooth out everything and see the real mastermind of everything?"

"Oh? Is this the host of the White Dragon Emperor, the descendant of the True Lucifer, and the killer of Sirzech Lucifer?" Odin looked at Vali with interest.

Vali felt uncomfortable by Odin's title, so he frowned at this elderly man.

"You don't need to show much hostility toward me. I am here to help you, you know? Or do you not want a real person who messed up your head? Since with this eye, I can see that there is a complicated magic that is used to seal the memory in your brain."

As Odin removed the eyepatch on his left eye, a jewel-like eye was presented in front of everyone.

It was said that Odin gave his left eye to the Mimisbrunner, so it gave him the ability to understand many types of demonic powers, magic, and other spells.

With this eye, with one glance, Odin could tell that there was something wrong with Vali's mind.

"Please help me. If you can, I owe you my life."

There was no hesitation in Vali's words as he was ready to give his everything to Odin as long as Odin could help him find Mr. X, who was the cause of his misery.

"Hahaha... you are too serious. This is something that I must do since I can't let someone like you be played with a cowardly being."

When Odin heard Vali's story from Azazel, he also felt anger since how could someone be so cruel to such a warrior-like existence as Vali?

To be honest, Odin was tempted to acknowledge Vali as his son, giving Vali a chance for another future, as he knew as long as the three factions wished to make peace with the Norse myth, they needed to acknowledge Vali's status as his son and erased his status as a criminal.

Still, Odin could talk about this problem later as he also wanted to know who was the figure who destroyed this child's future.

"Let me do it now. Be quiet, everyone."

By then, no one was talking, and everyone watched Odin try to reveal the true culprit of everything and the figure who had made Vali's existence full of misery.

Using his left eye, Odin quickly revealed that figure on Vali's mind, and soon, the figure who had caused this misery to his life was clear.

"RISEERRR!"

Vali was furious that his Demonic Energy spread in every direction.

However, everyone gasped as they heard Vali's words. While they had expected it, they were still surprised when they heard the new Lucifer was the one behind everything. More importantly, could they even do something? Would they dare to fight the entire three factions? Would they dare to fight against this strongest devil?

Yet, while some were frightened, many had a determined expression as they were ready to fight Riser, but—

"Wait, it's not over! This is a trap! Let me see it again!"

However, Odin frowned as he realized something.

Everyone was startled, and under Odin's skillful manipulation, the thick mist that had been covering Vali's mind was opened.

Vali and Odin were startled as they saw the real person behind everything.

"What's wrong?" Azazel asked with worry.

While Vali felt dumbfounded, Odin took a deep breath and said, "You are familiar with him."

"Who?"

"It's Ajuka Beelzebub."

When Vali said that name, everyone fell into silence.
