Sullivan and everyone were accompanied by Gremory servants toward the Gremory Castle.
They still used carriage even though their technology was very advanced.
Low-class devils and Middle-class devils quickly gave them a way when they saw the family Crest.
They didn't want to have a problem with the noble even though they were from the Gremory family.
The nicest noble devil house.
Noble is still noble and if they tarnish them. They would be punished severely.
'The treatment of the low-class and middle-class devil is the same as medieval times. Even though the devil's society technology is so advanced. Something is still the same.'
Sullivan shook his head. He couldn't do anything about it.
It was just the way things were.
Gremory Castle was located in the center of the Gremory territory that was in the north of Lilith city.
The Gremory territory was very big. It was about ten times that of Lilith city.
However, it was only the size of the land and not how civilized they were.
There were many plots of lands that were empty and full of nature and digimons...
"Wait a minute, Aren't they Digimon!"
Sullivan was shocked to see so many Digimon here.
However, most of them were dark type digimon. Such as Pagumon and Mini Devimon.
"Digimon? What are you talking about Sullivan?"
Rias didn't know about digimon. All she saw was just dark type familiars in the forest.
"You don't know digimon?"
Rias shook her head. She knew about Pokemon but not Digimon.
Sullivan sighed and then he asked her what she saw in the forest.
She answered honestly.
"That does it. After I finish the fried chicken, I will go and correct them!"
Rias didn't know what happened to him but she nodded her head.
If he wanted a familiar.
She would just let him pick one in the familiar forest.
Those familiars were a lot stronger than the normal familiar he could find in the normal forest.
They reached Gremory Castle in no time. And Sullivan had to double look at the Castle.
'It's very big and it's floating in the air.'
The carriage that they were in slowly floated to the sky.
And it landed on the front yard of the Castle before it moved quickly toward the gate.
Sullivan was welcomed warmly by everyone.
They heard about him.
He was one who would help their young lady from the evil Riser.
To them he was like their hero.
They had been watching over Rias since she was little. And they felt pity toward her.
She tried everything she could to break off the engagement.
However, Riser and the Phenex family was really shrewd.
They didn't let Rias fight with Riser head on. They used many tricks to stop it from happening.
Now, they could not use their trick anymore. And Riser was forced to fight with Sullivan.
"Welcome to Gremory Castle. Sullivan-sama."
Grayfia, as the head maid appeared before him and she welcomed him.
She worked for Sirzechs and also for the Gremory family.
She checked him up and found that he became a lot stronger than when they first met.
'He has become a lot stronger than before.'
Sullivan's control over natural energy had improved greatly. And Grayfia could sense it.
"Thank you for the warm welcome."
Sullivan acted properly. He was now hired by Rias to deal with Riser. So he should act his part well.
As for the payment. She still didn't know what to give him. But that's okay. He could wait.
"Please follow me, Sullivan-sama. As for Rias-sama and everyone. Venelana-sama is waiting for you all."
Sullivan followed her. She brought him to where he would be staying during the time he was in the underworld.
"How strong are you? Can you tell me?"
Grayfia couldn't hold her curiosity anymore and she decided to ask him directly.
She knew that he was very strong but she wanted to know exactly how much.
He was Gabriel of heaven's nephew after all.
"How strong am I? I think about Ophis level."
Sullivan answered truthfully.
He was as strong as Ophis now without using his divine power.
And if he used his divine power. Nothing in this world could pose any threat to them.
Because they would cease to exist. Maybe Ophis and Great Red could somehow survive.
Oh and the Trihexa as well.
'I forgot about my aunt. Well, she isn't someone from this universe anyway.'
"Stop joking, I really want to know."
Grayfia would never believe him unless he showed her proof.
Sullivan didn't like to be misunderstood as a liar so he had to prove himself.
"Why don't you just ask her yourself then?"
Sullivan brought her into the void that was inside the Shadow realm.
Grayfia was shocked. She couldn't feel anything before she was already inside the void.
She was ready to protect herself.
However, the void did nothing to her.
"Who is it…"
Grayfia heard a little girl's voice.
She looked toward the void and saw Ophis was chilling there.
'I have never met Ophis before but I can tell she is one. What a terrifying power she has inside that little body.'
Ophis was looking at Sullivan and wanted to know why he had to come and bother her.
"Can you tell her if I am as strong as you or not?"
Ophis looked at Grayfia and then to Sullivan.
"I want cookies."
Sullivan nodded and gave her divine cookies. She needed some kind of motivation like a kid.
She then spoke to her.
"He is stronger."
"Huh…"
Grayfia looked at him and now he had proof that he was even stronger than Ophis.
Grayfia didn't know what to say.
Everything happened too quickly.
Then they appeared where they originally were. Grayfia looked at Sullivan in fear.
If he was really as strong as Ophis then. The Yokai faction would be the strongest faction in the world.
And the devil faction had done great wrong to the Yokai faction! If Sullivan took their side.
Massacres would be enacted on them.
