"Is everything okay Rize-san?" Kaneki asked the absent-minded Rize who left him to go to where they heard sounds of multiple explosions…
Maou used his magic to hide the truth regarding what happened, but he didn't change Rize's memories regarding the incident… She would never forget how Emilia, the girl she almost killed easily dismantled three very dangerous individuals with superpowers!
"I'm just lost in thought, I gave a hand to one of Yuki's friends we met earlier and I was just surprised by his and her reaction…"
Kaneki had a doubtful look on his face before he smiled and said "I bet you had the same look on your face whenever I thank you for something"
Rize froze slightly and she couldn't help but shoot the guy beside her another look, and seeing the genuine smile on his face made her dumbfounded 'When did I start to show my emotions like this?' She wondered before she suddenly recalled the weird feeling of danger she has been feeling for quite a while.
'I always thought that the danger might be from Yuki or someone related to him, but from the looks of it, they couldn't care less about my existence… No, they probably do not consider me as a threat in the first place… But then why do I feel this sense of imminent doom…' Rize couldn't help but shoot Kaneki another look since for some reason, that sense of danger started around the same time she got to know him…
'It can't be related to Kaneki-kun, I'm pretty sure his character is what he's showing, innocent to a fault…' After contemplating silently for a while, Rize suddenly turned to Kaneki and said "Kaneki-kun, can you promise me something? "
Kaneki was surprised at first, but he soon smiled and said "Sure what is it?"
Rize hesitated slightly as she recalled the image of that wicked man before she said "If something ever happens to me, please call for Yuki's help as soon as possible… I don't have his number but here's the number of the girl I helped, she should know how to contact him"
Kaneki's face paled slightly as he asked "Do you have any problems? We can go to the police if there's someone bothering you"
Rize smiled awkwardly when she heard this 'The police? If someone could pose such a huge danger to my life, no amount of policemen can change the outcome… only those people could!' After lamenting inside her head, she replied firmly "Only that guy can solve any problem I might face in the future, please trust in my judgment"
Kaneki clenched his hands slightly at the feeling of helplessness he was experiencing before he nodded at her and said "Don't worry, I will not let you down!"
"Thank you" Replied Rize with a genuine smile that dazzled Kaneki and left him speechless for a long time…
Meanwhile, as Yuki conversed with Hilda, he got to know the identity of their attackers "People under Behemoth huh? and they serve baby Beel's older brother…"
"That's right" Replied Hilda with regret clear on her face and she eventually said "I'm sorry for involving you in my young lord's mess… It wasn't my intention"
Yuki shot her an are you an idiot look before he said "I know you didn't involve us intentionally, plus you don't need to apologize, Oga is my friend, and baby Beel is also my cute little friend, right baby Beel?"
"TABOU!" Replied baby Beel excitedly while Oga simply smiled silently, so Yuki calmly said "See, you don't need to worry about this anymore"
Hilda's face froze slightly and she couldn't help but shoot everyone else a look, yet she only saw the girls playing with baby Beel while the demons were thinking about how to plan Hanzo's funeral behind his back…
'These guys… They are idiots' she thought, although the faint smile on her face contradicted her thoughts and after they got to know the exact situation, Yuki turned to Maou and asked
"What do you think about conquering a world ruled by demons"
Seeing the crazy smile on Yuki's face, Maou instead replied with an awkward smile as he said "I don't think our forces are enough to face an entire world…"
"Hmmm, that's too bad" Replied Yuki with a sigh, but his gaze soon turned ice cold as he followed by saying "But I guess beating up this guy called Behemoth for what they tried to do to Chiho-chan isn't a problem right?"

Maou's smiled slightly but the smile didn't reach his blood red eyes that were shining eerily, and the demons surrounding him had similar looks on their faces as he replied "Indeed, that's a must"
And just after his words died down, he raised his hand and created a vortex that collected the left-over magic from the three demons killed by Emilia before he conjured a much more complicated spell that started showing different locations of the world until it eventually landed on the image of an old man that was dressed in everyday clothes and appeared like a normal human!
'What kind of crazy spell is this? This guy is far more terrifying than I thought' Hilda had a shocked look on her face as she witnessed Maou's terrifying mastery of magic, and she was even more surprised by the fact that he easily detected this elusive old monster!
Hilda could see that Behemoth's brows twitched slightly as if he could tell that he was being spied on but Maou didn't seem to care at all as he simply said coldly "I will be back soon"
"Oh, I'm coming with you" Spoke Yuki with an eerie look on his face as well…
Meanwhile, Ashiya and Hanzo instantly stood behind Maou without saying a word while Yurei and Shizue did the same as they stood behind Yuki, and finally was Emilia's turn as she walked in front of them as well and said
"Hmph, don't think I will let you have all the fun in avenging Chiho-chan"
Maou smiled silently as he saw this scene, and eventually, they heard Chiho say "You guys don't have to do this, that guy might be dangerous"
"Don't worry, Chiho-chan… Some people only know their place when you show them that you can't be messed with" After Maou said this, his body slowly started to get larger as he took on his terrifying demonic form…
Ashiya and Hanzo also started transforming and Emilia as well donned her heroic form which left Hilda and Oga flabbergasted… but then they noticed Yurei and Shizue staring at Yuki expectantly so he simply let out a sigh and said "And here I was hoping my clothes wouldn't get ruined"
As Yuki said this, his green eyes started to shine eerily as well before his normal body started to grow taller and more muscular turning him into a terrifying monster similar to Maou "Let's go"
Maou shot Yuki a surprised look, but he didn't say anything as he simply opened a portal right in front of Behemoth and they all directly stepped into it!
…
Meanwhile, from Behemoth's point of view, he only felt as if he was being watched and tried to use his magic to locate the position of the person spying on him, yet no matter how much he tried, he wasn't able to pinpoint Maou's location which caused him to furrow his brows…
'What's going on? Only the great demon lord or that bastard Satan can spy on me like this, but they both shouldn't be bothering with me... what's going on?' Wondered Behemoth, but not long after, a portal appeared in front of him from which walked 7 people…
'Who are these people? Their power is terrifying! They can't be from this world' concluded Behemoth as he especially got a bad feeling after he locked eyes with Emilia and Maou…
"Old man, you shouldn't have let your underlings attack my people randomly" Spoke Maou with a devilish look on his face clearly showing how angry he was at the moment despite Chiho being unharmed…
"I'm just a simple old man, I don't know what you are talking about" replied Behemoth calmly while internally he was thinking about what kind of mess his underlings have caused him…
"I see" Maou didn't waste any more words with him and directly appeared in front of him and prepared a destructive punch to destroy him with, but that old man instantly conjured multiple barriers to block Maou's attack.
However, soon after, a white sword penetrated through the cracks of that barrier and almost decapitated him If he didn't dodge right on time… although the bleeding scratch on his neck woke him up to the reality he was facing… One single mistake and his life would be over…
"Wait a second! there must be a misunderstanding"
Maou tilted his head at him and eerily said "If your explanation doesn't satisfy me… you are dead"
This was the demon lord that terrorized a whole world, and killing was nothing to him, especially when it's an enemy…
After some discussion with more forces arriving to assist Behemoth including the great demon lord himself sending a clone to speak on his behalf, they finally concluded that their fight for the throne wouldn't involve anyone else from this world as Maou declared it his own, and any trespassing will create a war between them!
…
"My lord, are you sure we should let them take the upper hand like this?" Asked Behemoth to the great demon lord, Baby Beel's father! And the latter simply replied "Listen, I interrupted my game for the mess you caused, so you better stop being annoying"
'What demon lord plays computer games…' Thought behemoth with a sigh lamenting his crazy lord, but he then heard him say with a slightly more serious tone "Those people aren't weak… That black-haired guy and the white-haired girl might be as strong as me, and we can't afford to make enemies with Satan lurking around in the shadows"
Behemoth fell silent after hearing this but he eventually nodded and said "I understand, I will be careful next time" Before he left, leaving the great demon lord to stare out of the window with a weird smirk as he thought 'Baby Beel really got himself quite the weird friends… I wonder what world they came from, maybe it will alleviate my boredom for a while hahahaha'
….
As this mess was resolved, Yuki finally had the chance to check the notification he received on the pirate ship…
[Host has found a unique location, Dimensional link triggered… Host can create a link with the discovered world, but it requires a Dimensional link of at least level 5!]
"It seems like a new journey is going to start soon and I discovered a new function of my dimensional link as well, this is interesting!" Muttered Yuki with a smile as he opened his system panel without hesitation!
