Chapter 1044: The Leaders of the Three Races Gather

Within Kuo Academy, perhaps because the Three-Race summit was imminent, the entire academy was filled with a powerful, low-pressure atmosphere.

At this time, Rias decisively gave all the teachers and students of Kuo Academy a holiday; after all, the Gremory Clan behind Rias was the actual controller of Kuo Academy, so accomplishing such a thing was quite easy.

Although the people in Kuo Academy did not know why the academy had suddenly closed, under the unique Magic of the Devils, they quickly accepted this matter and subsequently all evacuated the academy.

Around the academy, small squads were patrolling with serious expressions. Looking closely, these patrol members included Devils, Angels, and even Fallen Angels. Of course, a patrol squad with such a complex composition naturally could not be without any friction. But because of orders from above, these people could only glare fiercely at the other party before turning their heads and leaving. It seemed that because of these patrolling people, the entire area around the academy was also filled with a heavy atmosphere.

"It seems that before you three parties have peace talks, the hostile emotions are truly severe!" Lingyun said softly.

"That's right, and that is exactly the reason why we are so eager to initiate the Three-Race negotiations! If these hostile emotions continue to spread, there is no telling what might happen." Rias, who was following Lingyun, said.

"Then, who are the main participants in this negotiation?" Lingyun asked.

"The location for this negotiation is set within Kuo Academy, and the representatives of the three factions present are the Devil King Lucifer for the Devils, the Governor Azazel for the Fallen Angels, and the Seraph Michael for the Angels. As for Sona and me, we can barely count as witnesses to this summit," Rias explained.

"Witnesses, huh?" Lingyun muttered to himself.

"Of course, this summit also cannot do without the presence of you, the Three-Race Balancer." Rias looked toward Lingyun, her tone carrying a hint of complexity.

At the beginning, Rias thought that Lingyun was merely a human with powerful strength, but the more she came into contact with Lingyun, the more she felt how unfathomable he was; now that Lingyun had even become the Three-Race Balancer, in a certain sense, his status was already on par with the leaders of the three races.

"Lucifer, Azazel, Michael—the people who have come are all leaders among the three races. Since the leaders are able to conduct the negotiations, the final result should be settled," Lingyun said indifferently.

As his voice fell, Lingyun and Rias had already arrived in front of a large door. Looking at this door, Rias reached out directly and gently pushed it open.

Appearing before the two was a spacious conference room, and in the very center of the room sat a table that looked quite luxurious.

Beside this table were four seats, and the chair for each seat looked quite luxurious. On three of these seats, people were already sitting. Judging from the aura released by these three people, they should all be top-tier experts.

Sitting in the very middle was the representative of the Devil side, the Devil King Lucifer with red hair—Sirzechs.

Sitting in the second seat was the Fallen Angel Governor Azazel, whom Lingyun and the others had met many times. However, Azazel had now taken off the clothes that looked quite casual before and changed into a very formal outfit. After restraining the laughing and joking aura he usually had, Azazel truly possessed the majesty belonging to a Fallen Angel Governor.

As for the last seat, it was a strange man whom Lingyun had never seen before. This man's appearance looked quite handsome and dignified, and Holy Light seemed to be dissipating around him. Most eye-catching was the halo floating above the man's head, and there even seemed to be specks of light drifting out from this halo.

Upon seeing this man, Lingyun knew the other party's origin; it was the last of the three factions—the Angel race. And to be able to sit in this place with an aura that could rival Azazel and Sirzechs, there was only one person in the Angel faction who could do it: the current ruler of Tianjie, the leader of the Angels, and the most powerful Archangel under the God of the Bible—Michael.

Like Azazel, as the supreme leader of the Angels, Michael also possessed six pairs of twelve wings, which was the symbol of his command over all Angels. However, these twelve wings were now retracted by Michael, hanging down behind his back.

Of course, as the venue for signing the Three-Race peace agreement, it was naturally impossible for only the heads of the three major factions to be present; there were other witnesses in this room.

Behind Sirzechs, Grayfia, dressed in a maid outfit, had her hands folded in front of her abdomen, her face full of a serious expression.

Besides Grayfia, Sona Shitori, who was also a witness and observer of this Three-Race peace agreement, stood near the wall, and following by her side was Shinra Tsubaki, acting as her Queen.

Besides the Devil race having witnesses, the Fallen Angel race naturally also had a witness, and this witness was someone who had once clashed with Lingyun. Vali was leaning against the wall, and the moment he saw Lingyun, Vali's eyes could not help but narrow, and he could not help but reveal a solemn expression on his face; after all, previously, he had been directly blasted away by Lingyun without the slightest ability to resist.

Lingyun's gaze swept over Vali, then fell upon the last person in the room. That was a woman with a gentle smile on her face; this woman possessed a supreme, flawless figure and bust, with a halo atop her head, and twelve identical wings slowly spreading out behind her.

Clearly, this woman was an existence of the same rank as Michael. This person was none other than Gabriel, one of the four Seraphs of Tianjie and also the greatest beauty of Tianjie. Also, to add, the reason Azazel was demoted from an original Angel to a Fallen Angel was because he pursued his own desires and had relations with a female, and according to rumors, this matter was said to be inseparable from Gabriel.

It could be said that in this not-so-large conference room, the top powerhouses of the three major factions had gathered; if one could wipe everyone here out in one go, it would inevitably deal an extremely heavy blow to the three major factions.

Lingyun sat down in the last chair in the room, and the moment Lingyun sat down, the atmosphere in the room changed instantly, as if something was brewing.
