221 Behind the darkness

Riser was surprised as he had never thought another world existed, but he didn't feel that much surprised, especially when he became Riser Phenex and had a system. 

However, unlike Shalba, Creuserey, and Euclid, whose purpose and ambition had always been in this world, Rizevim was different as he wished to be in another world. 

Frankly, Riser didn't care about Rizevim as an individual and why he wished to go to another world, but the information about another world he got from Rizevim intrigued him. 

Evie Etoulde. 

—or E×E. 

It was the name of another world. 

To be honest, except for the name, whether it was Rizevim or Euclid, they knew nothing. 

Nevertheless, Euclid aside, Rizevim's ambition to go to another world was so intense, but he knew that it was impossible, especially in Dimensional Gap, where the location they needed to pass through to go to another world was being guarded by the strongest being in the world. 

The Great Red. 

Unfortunately, this strongest being was a dragon, a being that Riser loathed the most. 

If possible, Riser wished to erase all the dragons in this world except those weak ones, as he could use them as a pet. Nevertheless, his goal was aligned with the Khaos Brigade as they wished to erase the Great Red from the Dimensional Gap. 

Creuserey, Shalba, and Euclid aside, Rizevim's goal was to push the Great Red away, but he knew that it was impossible with his power. Even Ophis, the second strongest, was unable to do anything, so how could Rizevim do it?

In the end, Rizevim made a crazy plan that made Riser speechless for a long time. 

Trash talk. 

Yes, it's trash talk. 

Rizevim kept sending trash talk to the living beings who lived in another world, provoking them so they would be angry and also sending them a method to travel to their world. It was so crazy that he was unable to say anything, but if those beings really came to this world, what would happen?

Riser didn't care much as he wasn't the one who provoked those beings, but if those beings came to attack him, then don't expect him to give them mercy. 

To be honest, while Riser was interested in the other world, he wasn't that obsessed with it as this world was still full of mystery for him. His life as Riser Phenex had just started, and there were many things that he hadn't done in this world, so when he was bored, he might think of a method to go to another world for a trip. 

Still, compared to the information about another world, there was a lot of interesting information that he got from Rivezim. 

The first was the relationship between Rivezim and Vali. The two of them were a family, and Rivezim was Vali's grandfather. 

Nevertheless, Riser found out that Vali's miserable life was all due to Rivezim, who gave advice to Vali's father, who was also his son, to beat up Vali. 

Vali was born with an amazing power, and due to this, Vali's father was in terror of Vali's existence. 

To ease that fear, Vali's father tortured Vali, as it eased his heart. 

However, as Vali grew, Rivezim grew scared of Vali's potential, especially when Azazel started to get involved with Vali, so in the end, he killed Vali's father so he wouldn't get revenge on Vali. 

Still, with Vali's personality, did Rivezim think that he could run away from Vali?

Nevertheless, Riser shook his head and disdained the son of the true Lucifer as this guy was so cowardly and so weak that it was funny for Sirzech and Vali to think of him as an enemy that they needed to face with all of their might. 

The second information was the existence of Lilith, the mother of all the devils, who was also Rivezim's mother.

Looking at Rivezim and the information about Lilith, Riser thought that this guy was scum among the scum. This guy was simply trash, but at the same time, he should call this guy the perfect devil as this guy was the perfect example of a devil how it should be. 

After all, whether it was him, Zekram Bael, Sirzech, or others, even if they were a devil, they didn't act like one. 

However, Rivezim was different. He could have killed his son and used his mother as a guinea pig for research. 

Still, based on Rivezim's memory, Lilith was on the verge of dying as her body was used by her husband to give birth to the devils for the Great War against the angels and the fallen angels. 

As for where Lilith was, it seemed that Rivezim hid his mother in the Realm of Death, also known as the Realm of Hades in Greek mythology and Depths of Hell. It is the place where Hades, the God of the dead, and the Grim Reapers reside. 

Riser thought for a moment and felt that he shouldn't do it. Moreover, he didn't have any ambitions to do so. Still, in case he made Lilith into his woman, he wondered whether his children would become an ancestor of all the devils.

"...." 

Riser stopped thinking as he shook his head, throwing all the strange thoughts in his head away. 

Nevertheless, the last piece of information was the one that attracted him the most. 

666. 

—or Trihexa. 

Riser found the existence of the Apocalyptic Beast in the corner of the world. There was no doubt it was one of the strongest beings, if not the strongest, matching the Great Red. It seemed that Rivezim planned to wake this beast into this world, destroying everything. 

"....." 

"That seems to be a good idea." 

Stopping this beast?

Riser didn't have such an idea at all. 

Instead, he thought to use his "Peto Peto no Mi" to control this beast, erasing all the existence that harmed his peace. Then, when all the harmful beings were eliminated in this world, he would be the only one and gain his peace. 

With that idea on his mind, Riser didn't plan to kill Creuserey, Shalba, Euclid, or even Rivezim. Instead, they were going to become his tools. They were going to erase all the harm for him, and when he had exploited their worth until nothing remained, he would kill all of them so there was no existence that could harm him. 

By then, Riser would gain his peace and achieve his dream. 

Nevertheless, he knew that many would die due to this ambition, yet as he had decided to walk on this path, he was prepared. 

The world wanted to mess up his life, so don't blame him for destroying the world. 

Decisively, Riser manipulated their memories, erasing all of his clues, and made them into his tools without them realizing before he left without leaving any traces. 

Soon, Creuserey, Shalba, Euclid, and Rizevim woke up as if nothing had happened before they continued to discuss with each other which myths they should attack, but strangely enough, at this moment, the thought of creating a fake Phenex Tears no longer crossed their minds. 

Meanwhile, Riser, who had walked out from the headquarters of the Old Satan Faction to control them from the dark, sighed, feeling a bit disappointed since he couldn't learn Rizevim's ability to nullify the Sacred Gear as it was innate. 

However, the system notified him that he got the rewards. 

When he checked his rewards, he was stunned by the place. 

"...my rewards are too amazing, right?"
