"Masa-sama, do you need us to do something?"
"If you need our help, please say. We will do everything we can to help you."
The one that Masa had invited at this moment was ranked 2nd and 3rd in the Rating Game.
Roygun Belphegor and Bedeze Abaddon.
Naturally, the two were the most powerful participants in the Rating Game, just behind Diehauser. Their power, naturally, was above many, and their mastery over their innate abilities was so extremely high that they could be said to be the strongest among the devil that had ever been born in their houses.
Still, unlike Masa, Sona, and Rias, who were born within the 72 Noble families, the two came from the Extra, the noble family outside of the 72, yet even so, he had to say, compared to the 72 families, their power was quite variable and useful.
Roygun, who came from the Belphegor family, had an ability to "Crack," which allowed her to tear anything, and Bedeze, who came from the Bedeze family, had the ability to "Hole,' which allowed him to create a spatial hole.
Those two, adding to the Demonic Power that they gained from the King Piece, made them the strongest, just behind Diehauser.
Still, unlike Diehauser, who had a certain arrogance and dared to fight, Masa, Roygun, and Bedeze had no such thought at all as they showed their submissiveness.
Why did they do such an act?
It was because Masa was the strongest, and at the same time, he also took part in making money on the Rating Game!
Yes, in the past, Masa loved money so much that he did everything, including working behind the scenes with all the noble families who profited from manipulating the Rating Game.
So, whether it was Roygun or Bedeze, the two had known Masa for quite a while, but he had never had much of an interest in getting close to the two, especially when he had the backing of Serafall and the Bael House.
Still, when they met again, the two never expected that Masa's position would be so above theirs, and they also understood that compared to Masa, who was natural, their powers that came from cheating couldn't be compared, especially after Masa defeated Sirzech Lucifer.
As for the Great Red, many were skeptical of the evidence of him defeating this strongest creature, yet even so, the fact that Masa could come out unscathed didn't change, and whether it was Roygun or Bedeze, they were far lower than the two.
"Let me make it short." Masa looked at the two and said, "Diehauser knows everything about the Rating Game, including cheating, manipulating, and also the King Piece."
"....." 2x
"W-What...?!" 2x
The two were dumbfounded when they heard his words, and naturally, they felt nervous, thinking that they would lose everything. Yes, similar to Diehauser, despite their cheating, they also loved the Rating Game, especially with all the wealth, status, and everything they gained.
How could they bear to lose everything?!
"He came to me, exposing everything, including you two."
"..." 2x
"What I want is stability, so frankly, I don't care much about the Rating Game, and I plan to stop it."
"....." 2x
"...do you want to erase us, Masa-sama?" Roygun looked at Masa pitifully as if trying to seduce him, showing her womanly charm so Masa could forgive her.
As for Bedeze, when he tried to use his power, he couldn't do it, or rather, he lost his power before he gave up.
"If I want to erase you two, then I won't talk with you two, right?"
"Then...?" 2x
Their eyes were full of hope when they heard Masa's words.
"I will give you a chance to kill Diehauser and those who are involved in this incident."
His eyes grew sharper as he looked at the two. "Can you two do it?"
This...
Their bodies trembled, never expecting Masa to be so ruthless, yet unlike Diehauser, who was naive, they understood well that if they didn't erase Diehauser and those who were involved in this problem, then they would be the ones who would be erased!
Their fame, wealth, power, and everything else would disappear!
Everything that they had been working hard for would be erased!
How could they allow that to happen?!
Similar to Diehauser, they loved the Rating Game so much that if they lost it, then it might as well be better for them to die!
"Can you two do it?"
"Yes!" 2x
There was no hesitation in their answers.
"Good." Masa nodded. "Diehauser will have a movie job on the territory of the House of Bael. Use that chance to clear up everything. Go."
"Yes." 2x
He had no need to talk more, and the two understood everything.
All Masa wished for was stability, and he didn't care whether the Rating Game was clear or not, yet this also made Roygun and Bedeze sigh in relief.
"Um... Masa-sama, can I ask you something?"
"Is it about the plan? Someone will tell you what to do later."
"No, it's about ourselves."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean..." Watching his confusion, Roygun hesitated, then asked, "Don't you think that we're dirty for using the King Piece to make us stronger?"
Bedeze might not say anything, but he also wanted to know Masa's answer.
"No."
"Why?" 2x
The two of them were surprised, but shouldn't Masa despise them for cheating?
"In my mind, the Rating Game is nothing but entertainment, an event to make money, and also a cultural hegemony for our race. As long as it is successful, I don't care whether it is dirty or not. More importantly, even if you two get the King Piece, you two are also working hard to hone your power, right?"
"Masa-sama..." 2x
Those last words from Masa moved them the most!
Yes, even if they had the King Piece, its use was nothing but just to increase their Demonic Power, but to hone their abilities, knowledge, strategies, and everything, they did their best!
After all, just increasing the Demonic Power wouldn't bring them a victory.
So, was it wrong of them to use the King Piece?
Masa didn't think so since whether it was Roygun or Bedeze, they came from a noble family and were wealthy!
Why couldn't they use the money, connections, and authority they gained from their families?
Frankly, in Masa's mind, Diehauser was the example of the poor relying on the mutation, but Roygun and Bedeze, who were wealthy, relied on wealth.
Still, no matter what, whether it was Diehauser, Roygun, or Bedeze, only the strongest could gain everything, and instead of waiting for chaos to happen in the Underworld, Masa just let all of them fight to determine everything.
A battle was inevitable, but Masa could control the scale of the battle.
Regardless, as their battle was about to be determined, Masa had never expected another problem to occur in Rias' place, but even if he knew, he would laugh since no one could stop his rule of this universe.
