Riser Phenex isn't a villain

Chapter 323: Riser is on the top

"Didn't you want to fight me? Didn't you want me to slander me? Come on! Come on! Come talk!"

Riser stomped his foot several times, destroying Hades' bones many times, and kicked him around like a soccer ball.

Meanwhile, Hades tried to attack Riser, using the power of death to kill Riser and all the people around as he didn't want this shameful appearance to be seen by everyone.

If everyone saw what was happening, then wouldn't his status as the god of death be as good as gone?

Yet, at the same time, Hades had to say that this guy was so lawless!

More importantly, he knew that as a god of death, he shouldn't be scared of death, especially when he could control it, yet facing Riser, he knew that he could do nothing.

Moreover, was Riser's act impossible to predict?

Who would expect Riser to be ready to kill him when this happens?!

When everyone was ready for a fierce debate and argument, Riser directly threw away all the facade and just went straight for the kill.

When they thought that everything could be solved by a single talk, Riser destroyed everything.

When everything could be solved by saving the Five Principal Clans, he simply ignored those clans!

Yet, at the same time, everyone also realized the most basic rule that they almost forgot about the supernatural world.

The strongest is justice.

Like gods, devils, angels, fallen angels, or supernatural beings, all of them knew this truth, especially those gods from the Norse and Greeks. The reason why they were worshipped by people was due to their strength. The reason why they were afraid was that with their power, they could cause a disaster for the people.

It was like how the countries who didn't have a nuclear bomb didn't have a right to talk internationally and could only be used as pawns by others.

The moment they had decided to become their alliance, they knew that they were practically begging Riser to protect them.

Then, like a good beggar, they should be obedient instead of biting Riser's arm.

Watching Riser, who easily beat Hades cruelly and even was about to kill Hades, no one said anything, including Zeus and Poseidon.

Why?

It was because they didn't have the power to defeat Riser, and everything started due to Hades.

As for Suzaku?

This girl had already been forgotten by everyone.

At this moment, all the talks before were forgotten by everyone, and all they could remember was Riser's power.

In the end, in front of the overwhelming power, everything was meaningless.

Yet, at the same time, they wondered whether Riser had created a new ability.

"Does the Phenex House have such an ability?"

"If you ask me, who should I ask?"

Riser's body was covered in a black metallic-like luster, seemingly hard and powerful. Moreover, everyone could see that Hades' power of death somehow couldn't even penetrate Riser's defense.

Facing Riser, there was nothing that Hades could do.

Riser never gave him a chance to fight, and each of his punches was enough to shatter his body.

Moreover, Hades knew that Riser never got serious. He was just being played around by Riser and defeated so easily before he was thrown like a rag in front of everyone.

"Meredith, help me to seal this guy."

"Yes, Riser-sama!"

Meredith, who was being called, quickly came out with a smile, then glanced at Suzaku and snorted. Then, with the energy shared by Riser by using Link, Hades' situation became even worse as everything was sealed by her magic.

If no one helped Hades at this moment, he would really die.

Zeus and Poseidon hesitated, but they didn't know what to say since they didn't really want to involve themselves with Hades' problem since Hades reaped what he sowed.

Yet, everyone's eyes changed when they saw Meredith, who could easily seal Hades. At this moment, they understood why Riser chose Meredith as her contracted magician.

Meredith might not be good at defending or attacking magic, but she was good at sealing magic, so good that she could even seal a god, especially when this god was one of the most powerful gods in the world.

That feat alone made her worthy as Riser's contracted magician.

Watching everyone's expression, Riser nodded inwardly since, by this, no one would imagine Meredith's real ability was her Sacred Gear that could control all the humans, even those who held the Sacred Gears and Longinus.

Nevertheless, even though the Alphecca Tyrant held by Meredith was powerful, it couldn't be used to control the other races, and this was her only weakness.

Still, this weakness didn't really matter as there was him who could protect her.

Everyone thought that Riser would let Hades die and even imprisoned him, but he suddenly threw the same vial to Zeus.

"This is...?" Zeus was confused, but he didn't let go of his hand on the vial.

"Use this on Hades. This time, I will forgive him. You can use that to heal him later."

"Thank you, Riser." Zeus beamed with a smile.

As for Hades? Zeus didn't care.

As for whether he would really use the vial, well, let's see later, okay?

Poseidon looked at Zeus and felt speechless, sighing, but he didn't say anything. He only felt jealous that Riser didn't throw that vial at him and hoped Riser would add one more vial.

Unfortunately, Poseidon was disappointed since Riser didn't give any more vials.

Instead, Riser started his speech.

"Listen to me. I won't force anyone to join the alliance. If you think that you don't want to join this alliance or you can't believe me, then you are free to leave."

"....."

Everyone fell into silence and stared at him in a daze.

"Our purpose of creating this alliance is so everyone can live well and the future generation can chase after what they wish for and stop the meaningless fight between the angel, fallen angel, and the devil. However, as our alliance grows, many problems occur, especially in terms of trust and reliability.

"Yet, first of all, I have never forced anyone to join this alliance. It's all your wish. Whether you trust me or doubt me, it's all your choices.

"So, this time, I will give you a chance. If you want to leave this alliance, then please leave this hall. I won't force you to join or make you my enemy if you wish to leave since I believe you are free to choose what you believe."

"...."

All of them fell in silence and were surprised by his magnanimity, but at the same time, all of them had a bitter smile, realizing the reality before them.

Riser didn't care about them; even by himself, he could protect the Underworld and the devils by himself. It was also due to this that all the devils moved toward him, standing behind him firmly, without showing any hesitation.

However, what about them?

Without Riser, everything would crumble.

At this moment, no one hesitated, whether it was the angel, fallen angel, Norse Myth, Greek Myth, youkai, or Japan Myth, and all those who were present didn't leave and walked toward him, showing their willingness and allegiance to firmly stand in this alliance.

Riser looked at everyone flatly, then stared at Suzaku, who was still in a daze.

"To be honest, I don't even know when the Five Principal Clans decided to join us, but since you can't trust me, there is no need for us to have an alliance. You are free to leave.

"Go back."

"...."

Suzaku felt her world turn black as she realized what awaited her was nothing but despair.
