The belief in the God of the Bible had become mainstream in the human world.
Combined with the newly acquired angel reincarnation technology, heaven would experience a rapid development in a short span of time.
This was not something they wanted to see.
"Let's go, to the human world."
This time, Sirzechs prepared to go to the human world. If his sister met with misfortune, he'd make the instigator pay the price by condemning them to the crimson hell to repent.
It wasn't just the two Maous worried about their sisters safety, even Ajuka himself was considering going to the human world.
Ajuka wanted to find and kill that holy knight before he could send the reincarnation technology to heaven.
He could not allow them to obtain it.
"Wait, you three. The sudden appearance of three Maous in the human world would undoubtedly send a highly sensitive signal to the other major factions."
"Let's first find out about Rias and Sona's situation before discussing countermeasures."
Falbium needed to remain calm under any circumstances. At the same time, when it came to matters concerning the underworld, he had to first consider the overall gains and losses for both the underworld and their race.
As Lucifer, the leader of the Four great maous, Sirzechs forced himself to calm down and stopped Serafall from rushing out, while simultaneously establishing communication with Kuoh academy.
"Lord Lucifer, what are your orders?"
A magical projection appeared in the conference room, the person within it was none other than the principal of Kuoh academy.
"How is Sona right now?!"
Impatient and concerned for her sister's safety, Serafall squeezed in front of Sirzechs and hurriedly asked.
"How is her situation?"
In Serafall's view, since the fail safe demonic power left in the evil piece had gone, Sona had to be in imminent danger.
"Lady Leviathan, Miss Sona just submitted her council paperwork to me. What do you mean by her situation?" the principal answered cautiously.
"Huh?"
Sirzechs and the others exchanged glances, sensing that things were not quite as they had assumed.
"Is Rias at the academy right now?" Sirzechs asked.
"Yes, I ran into Miss Rias about fifteen minutes ago, she should still be on campus."
"You may go now."
"Alright, Lord Lucifer, I shall take my leave."
Sirzechs deactivated the projection.
"Let's find out from them directly."
Knowing that their sisters should be alright, both Sirzechs and Serafall breathed a sigh of relief and contacted them.
"Greetings, Lord Maous."
Rias and Sona were slightly surprised to see that all four were present, and they greeted them respectfully.
"Rias and Sona, you two don't need to polite."
Seeing that her sister was alright, Serafall hovered around Sona's projection. If it were the real person instead of a projection, she'd have pounced on her long ago.
"Sister, why have you summoned us?"
Unlike Rias, who was filled with doubt, Sona could roughly guess the reason for them being summoned in such a grand manner.
"Are your evil pieces still with you?"
Ajuka asked seriously. Though it was phrased as a question, his tone carried an undeniable certainty.
"Lord Beelzebub, my pieces..."
Rias recounted the entire story without hiding anything. She realized that the problem must have stemmed from her pieces, and it was a big issue at that, otherwise Ajuka wouldn't have taken it so seriously.
She had some guesses in her mind, but the possibility had seemed too slim.
After listening to Rias's explanation, Ajuka sighed. He really couldn't blame Rias. In the entire underworld, who didn't know the Gremory clan valued emotions the most, treating their peerage members like true family?
Wasn't his best friend the exact same?
"Lord Beelzebub, is there something wrong?"
Rias asked anxiously. If something went wrong with her pieces, it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to her peerage.
"Your evil pieces shouldn't be damaged."
Before Rias could even breathe a sigh of relief, Ajuka's next words made her panic.
"However..."
"The Devil reincarnation technology has been stolen, extracted from your evil piece by that holy knight."
"What!"
Rias was shocked. She had considered this possibility at first. After Yasuhiro asked her for pieces, she had a vague suspicion, but she wasn't as certain as Sona.
It made sense, what else could he possibly want with it besides researching the devil reincarnation technology?
What truly surprised Rias was that Yasuhiro had actually succeeded in his research using her evil piece. She didn't know whether to admire Yasuhiro's talent or feel frustrated by her own incompetence.
"Rias, don't blame yourself too much. If I hadn't sealed fragments of knowledge about the reincarnation technology within the evil pieces, the theft wouldn't have happened."
Knowledge? Fragments?
Neither Rias nor Sona knew that such a thing existed within their evil pieces.
"This was intentionally reserved to enhance the potential of your evil pieces and facilitate later optimizations and improvements."
"Sona, I want to hear your reasons. Why did you hand over your pieces to the church? Compared to Rias's, your that piece contains knowledge that were crucial to heaven."
Ajuka and the other three looked at Sona, and Rias also looked at her best friend in surprise.
Sona had given her evil pieces to Yasuhiro without telling anyone, not even Rias.
Under everyone's gaze, Sona spoke slowly, "He is my boyfriend. The love of my life."
