Tatsuma asked, "Speaking of which, can we just attack the monsters in the Familiar Forest?"
Rias said, "You can, but it's better not to carry out large-scale slaughter unless it's necessary."
"Otherwise, the sharp decrease in the number of monsters will not only affect the ecological balance within the Familiar Forest but also anger the high-level monsters and cause conflict."
"Don't worry, I'll be mindful of my actions." Tatsuma made an OK gesture.
The Underworld is truly a good place. There are creatures that can drop traits everywhere.
[Grayfia defeated Aaroniero Arruruerie, congratulations on obtaining the purple trait: Glotonería]
[Grayfia defeated Zommari Rureaux, congratulations on obtaining the purple trait: Brujería]
Adding to that, Hueco Mundo is also a good place.
Glancing at the inventory full of traits, Tatsuma's mood became increasingly cheerful. At this rate of grinding, the fifth Rainbow trait is not far from him.
At the same time, inside Las Noches.
After a short battle, Grayfia fought her way from the entrance to the deepest part of Las Noches.
According to Tatsuma's request, none of the resisting Hollows were left, all were cleared out.
Hollows are fallen souls, and their personalities will more or less have some flaws, but those as stubborn as Yammy and Nnoitra are ultimately a minority. After seeing Grayfia's strength, the Hollows in Las Noches quickly surrendered and admitted defeat.
Between dignity and life, these Hollows ultimately chose the latter.
However, just when Grayfia thought everything was over, three presences appeared in her perception.
"I didn't expect you guys would dare to come back."
Looking at Baraggan and the other Hollows who appeared not far away, a hint of surprise flashed in Grayfia's eyes.
"Just as those two Shinigami said, Las Noches was attacked." Harribel looked around with a serious expression.
It wasn't until she saw the few living subordinates in the corner that her expression relaxed slightly.
"It seems your goal isn't to destroy Las Noches, do you want to replace Aizen and become the new King?"
"It is not I who will become the new King."
Grayfia shook her head slightly, and a terrifying aura that shook the world surged from her body.
"Alright, let's not waste time. Whatever your purpose for returning, I will give you a chance."
"Submit, or die. Choose one."
"Spare me, I don't want to fight you."
Starrk sighed and took the lead in raising his hand to surrender.
"Aizen has already abandoned Las Noches, I don't need to fight you for a Shinigami."
Harribel chose to surrender, just like Starrk.
However, just then, Baraggan snorted coldly, letting out a sound of dissatisfaction.
"All cowards, you don't even have the courage to resist when the enemy has reached your doorstep."
"Hey, don't be impulsive."
Harribel frowned and reminded him, "You saw her strength before, you..."
Boom!
A deafening roar sounded, interrupting Harribel, who was about to say something more.
A terrifying Reiatsu emanated from Baraggan, and black smoke spread in all directions. The ground rapidly aged and collapsed, and the entire Las Noches began to tremble madly, showing signs of disintegrating and collapsing.
"Damn Devil! Let me show you the true power of the King of Hueco Mundo!"
"It seems you have made your choice."
Grayfia did not dodge, summoning True Darkness to meet him head-on.
The Miasma of Decay and True Darkness collided in mid-air, and the aftermath spread in all directions.
In everyone's gaze, True Darkness continuously seeped into Respira, and the two gradually merged into one.
"Impossible!"
Noticing that control of Respira was being taken away, Baraggan was instantly shocked.
"My decay can age everything! Why isn't your power affected!"
"Your ability is indeed very strong, but you, as the user, are too weak."
True Darkness completely permeated Respira, and Grayfia manipulated Respira to envelop Baraggan.
Accompanied by an unwilling roar, Baraggan's body rapidly decayed and aged, dissipating in mid-air.
"Does anyone else want to resist?" Grayfia looked at the other Hollows present.
At this moment, as Grayfia's gaze swept over, all the Hollows present lowered their heads to show their submission.
Baraggan was ranked second among the Espada, but his ability was extremely special. That power to decay everything, even Starrk, whose Reiatsu was superior, dared not touch it.
Having defeated Baraggan head-on, Grayfia's strength was already on a different level from theirs. Instead of resisting and losing their lives, it was better to surrender and pledge allegiance.
Anyway, it wasn't the first time they had done it. With Aizen's example before them, the Hollows in Las Noches were extremely skilled at surrendering.
Seeing this, Grayfia restrained her aura and called Starrk, Harribel, and Nel to her.
"Now there are only three of you Espada left. Is anyone willing to help me manage Las Noches?"
"I can't, ask the other two."
Starrk immediately threw this troublesome job away.
Nel and Harribel exchanged glances, and ultimately Harribel stepped forward.
"I'll do it."
"Then the management of Las Noches will be handed over to you. Take this."
Grayfia took out a communication device and put it into Harribel's hand.
After that, Grayfia began to explain the things Harribel needed to do.
Recruiting high-level Hollows, recruiting Hollows with special abilities, not being allowed to go to the Human World without permission...
After a while, Grayfia finished relaying everything Tatsuma had instructed.
"Can you do it?"
"No problem."
"Then the subsequent cleanup work will be left to you to handle. If you encounter trouble, feel free to find me anytime."
Grayfia's lips curved upwards, experiencing for the first time in her life how great it felt to be a hands-off boss.
Leaving all the cleanup work to Harribel, she left Las Noches and returned to the Forest of Menos.
After seeing the other party leave, Harribel turned her head to look at Nel and Starrk beside her.
"What do you two think?"
"She's beautiful."
"It's none of my business, I want to sleep."
"..."
Harribel's eye twitched, and a deep sense of helplessness welled up from the bottom of her heart.
Maybe I should just pack my bags and run away.
The next day, in the Underworld, the capital Lilith.
A faint magical fluctuation rose, and a Teleportation Magic circle appeared in front of Lucifer's Palace.
Tatsuma walked out of the Magic circle, and the guards standing in front of the palace immediately surrounded him.
"Unauthorized personnel please... cough! Are you Red Dragon Emperor Tatsuma-sama?"
"Yes."
"Please follow me, Sirzechs-sama has already told us about you."
The captain of the guards gave a look, signaling the others to return to their posts, while he led Tatsuma into the palace.
Spatial compression technology was applied inside the palace, and the actual space was much larger than what was seen from the outside.
Under the guidance of the captain of the guards, Tatsuma went all the way to the conference room on the top floor.
"Sirzechs-sama, Tatsuma-sama has arrived."
The captain of the guards pushed open the door and walked in to report.
Inside the conference room, Sirzechs and Ajuka were already seated. In addition, there was a middle-aged man with black wings on his back and a decadent aura emanating from him.
"Yo! Tatsuma, long time no see."
"Azazel? Why are you here too?"
"Well... how should I put it? There are all sorts of reasons, but the most important one is to discuss the Khaos Brigade and Soul Society."
Azazel spread his hands. "The Fallen Angels have already formed an alliance with the Devils. If you want to attack Soul Society, I can't just stand by and do nothing."
Tatsuma nodded knowingly and sat down in a seat near the door. "What about the Angels? Why didn't anyone come?"
Azazel said, "Heaven was attacked by two Devils not long ago, and they are currently investigating the attackers."
Speaking of which, there was such a thing.
Recalling the operation he and Yahweh had done last week, Tatsuma, possessed by the spirit of an actor, showed surprise, doubt, and contemplation in his eyes.
He asked, "Was it done by the Old Satan Faction, or is it a third-party force within the Devils?"
"Michael said the culprit could nullify the power of the Sacred Gears, it might be Rizevim and related personnel."
Sirzechs handed over the information.
Tatsuma quickly scanned it and found that the development of events was similar to what he had expected.
Because no one had died, Michael suspected that there was a hidden agenda behind this matter. However, due to the limited clues, and coupled with the fact that Tatsuma and Yahweh both used the power of Devils, Michael could only start investigating from Rizevim.
But Rizevim himself had already been personally sent away by Grayfia yesterday, and even that Alternate Dimension had been dealt with by Yahweh.
If Michael investigated along this line, it would be impossible to find him even if he investigated for another hundred years.
Throwing the information back onto the conference table, Tatsuma discussed it with Sirzechs and the others without changing his expression.
