Chapter 513

The sudden shift from the slightly deteriorated environment of the Underworld to another space left Lyaisa momentarily disoriented.

She slightly narrowed her eyes and instinctively began scanning her surroundings.

It was then that the red-haired girl realized she was already inside a bright yet softly elegant grand hall.

'This is.'

Before she could make sense of the situation, she felt her body go slack and plummeted toward the ground.

Fortunately, the girl possessed basic flight ability and stabilized herself in time, avoiding a messy fall.

Looking at the calm young man before her, Lyaisa felt a quiet unease: "My Lord—"

She had no idea what about her could possibly attract him—surely he didn't actually intend for her to bear offspring?

More importantly, after what had just happened, her brother's mood was likely far from good.

Just as Lyaisa's mind was a tangled mess, Li Ang spoke: "Relax, I have no intention of harming you—only that I hope you will cooperate fully in the days ahead."

The higher-tier demon blood required for the 【Deep Servant】 transformation has, after collecting the blood of the Four Demon Kings, already been mostly secured.

In fact, on some level, Li Ang has already exceeded the mission's requirements.

After all, although Sazeks and the other three made no trouble before him, he is still considered a freak even within the Fifth Tier.

Translated into the Abyss system of a high-magic world, he could at least pass as a Greater Demon, if not an Abyss Prince or Abyss Lord.

Thus, the blood of Sazeks and the other three is more than sufficient to complete the 【Deep Servant】 transformation—let alone the possibility that fusing their bloods might trigger unknown changes.

As for Lyaisa—

Although the 【Heavenly Breasts】 in the original work resembles a joke-like power-up, these female characters undoubtedly possess unique traits, given that the entire DxD world's foundation is tied to this life-giving feature.

'Come to think of it, doesn't Ophis have something like this too?'

Thinking of this, Li Ang decided he would go see the Infinite Cute Dragon later to check her condition.

Upon hearing his words, Lyaisa bit her lip and offered a pitiful, heartrending expression: "Please, My Lord, do not be too rough."

"."

Seeing this, Li Ang was momentarily speechless—she truly matched the original's portrayal.

Too bad he wasn't a little chef boy; her tactics were still far too childish.

Thinking of this, a mischievous impulse stirred within Li Ang.

He first sized up the red-haired girl before him, then curled his lips into a distinctly cruel smile: "Heh… how do you know I enjoy rough behavior?"

"But given your body, I suspect I could go even harder."

At this, Lyaisa's previously rosy face turned instantly pale; she forced a weak laugh: "My—My Lord is so witty—I'm sure you're not that kind of person."

Though she spoke those words, the girl was genuinely frightened.

As a High-Class Demon, she understood intimately the acts between men and women—and knew some derived pleasure from brutality.

'Could the Dragon God really be interested in such things?'

With this thought, Lyaisa lowered her head slightly, afraid of provoking the dragon before her.

Just as her tension mounted, a soft laugh suddenly reached her ears.

"Relax—it was just a joke."

Hearing the laugh, Lyaisa hesitantly lifted her head and saw the Dragon God My Lord watching her with unmistakable mischief.

Seeing this, the girl instantly relaxed, puffing out her cheeks: "Really, don't tease me anymore."

"Heh."

Li Ang chuckled and shook his head, saying nothing further.

It has to be said, this heroine is indeed clever—she was trying to use this moment to draw closer to him; otherwise, would anyone really flirt with a stranger they'd known for less than an hour?

After a brief scare, Li Ang gestured to the maids beside him to take her away.

It was then that the girl noticed these maids were all identical—as if carved from the same mold—clearly not natural beings.

'Is this also the Dragon God My Lord's ability?'

Lyaisa couldn't help but marvel inwardly—if demons had possessed such ability, Lord Beelzebub wouldn't have needed to painstakingly develop the Demon Chesspiece technique.

Soon, the maids led her out of the hall, and a world of birdsong and blooming flowers came into view.

"This is."

Lyaisa scoured her memory but found no comparable scene.

After all, Valhalla—the realm of the Norse gods—was far beyond the reach of a lowly High-Class Demon like her.

At this moment, Li Ang and Lyaisa were naturally within 【Heavenly Middle】—but unlike not long ago when only Niflheim's icy realm existed, 【Heavenly Middle】 now contained a three-tiered large space.

Yes, Li Ang had moved the remaining seven realms, along with Yggdrasil, into 【Heavenly Middle】.

Yet only seven realms were moved, because Midgard 【MIDGARD】 corresponds to Earth in the DxD world.

It wasn't that he couldn't move Earth into 【Heavenly Middle】—it was simply that the return was too minimal.

After all, Earth in the DxD world possessed no special qualities; bringing it in would only waste space.

But this left the Norse realms incomplete—fortunately, Li Ang had already prepared a solution.

'【Heavenly Middle】 can probably still accommodate three more spaces like the Norse realm. Once I've fully digested what I've acquired, I can begin absorbing the other realms.'

As this thought arose in his mind, Li Ang's gaze flickered slightly.

Because the Norse mythology in the DxD world differs greatly from the original myths, its manifestations have been significantly weakened.

Most notably, the remaining eight realms—excluding Midgard 【MIDGARD】—combined are only as large as two standard planets, whereas normally each realm should be roughly equal in size to Midgard 【MIDGARD】.

Of course, had they been that large, Li Ang wouldn't have been able to carry the entire Norse pantheon away.

This is also why he didn't appear in the Underworld for several days—although Odin and Loki had been forced to kneel before him, and the other Norse gods posed no threat, turning them all into Divine Relics and fully integrating the Norse realms still required considerable time.

During this process, his 【Bronze and Fire King】 class level reached Lv12.

Now, among the 【Black Emperor】 transformation requirements, the conditions regarding 【Level】 and 【Dragon Blood】 are progressing steadily—but Li Ang still has no idea how to fulfill the requirement of creating an alchemy on par with the 【Seven Kingdoms】.

In his view, alchemical creations like 【Divine Armament】 should have been enough to fulfill this condition, yet in the end the judgment was not met.

'Could it have been classified as a sub-category of 【Conceptual Armament】?'

After thinking for quite a while, Li Ang still couldn't reach a conclusion and could only temporarily suppress his doubts.

Just then, Scathach brought Odin before him: "Master, Odin has business with you."

"What is it?"

Hearing this, Odin lowered his head and said in a very respectful tone: "Your Majesty, these past few days Indra, Hades, and Shiva and others have all contacted me, but I stalled them all."

"How do you think I should reply to them going forward?"

If the white-haired elder had initially still harbored thoughts of enduring and then looking for a chance to turn things around, after being made into a God-Slayer Weapon, the notion of resistance never rose in his heart again.

On one hand, as 【Hundred Aspects Completion · Divine Armament】, he was unable to defy his holder's commands; on the other hand, after becoming half one of their own, Odin gradually came to realize exactly what kind of existence stood before him.

Putting everything else aside, at the very least he now knew the identities of those strange beings that had previously surrounded the Norse pantheon.

Pseudo-Servants. Heroes who had truly left behind great deeds in history in another world.

There were even many special existences among them.

For example, the one that left Odin utterly baffled, the so-called 【Lord of the Norse Singularity】 Scathach-Skadi, and the 【Star Holy Swordsman】 Arthur used to counter the Foreign Star vanguard.

Especially the latter—at first he thought he had misheard, but after confirming it again and again, the white-haired elder had to admit a fact.

Namely, that this Arthur was that Arthur, the Knight King of great renown in Celtic mythology.
