After all, as a member of the defected Old Demon King Faction, Grayfia's leadership was better than that of the New Demon King Faction.
Especially after a mysterious disappearance after one battle, when Grayfia returned, she had acquired even greater power.
Under the leadership of the four young Devils, the Old Demon King Faction was quickly torn apart.
At this point, the New Demon King Faction's regime was completely established.
And Grayfia, with the promotion and support of the First Generation Asmodeus, firmly secured the position of Asmodeus, despite being a pure-blooded Devil not among the Seventy-Two Pillars.
This is why the Asmodeus's status is so exalted.
And Grayfia took on the responsibility of caring for him from childhood.
It can be said that Grayfia played the role of both a teacher and a mother in his growth process.
"So, can you tell me why you called me here now?"
Before he was twenty, he did live with Grayfia; at that time, they saw each other constantly.
But after he turned twenty and reached the level of a High-Class Devil, the number of times they met became quite rare.
In Grayfia's words, he was already an adult, and she would no longer interfere too much with his future growth.
After saying this, Grayfia returned to her own home to live.
After that, they only met about once every two or three years.
"Hmm, nothing particularly important, just coerced by a certain Demon King to bring Virion some gifts."
As Ajuka said this, he extended his hand and summoned a magic circle. An object that was clearly a chess box emerged from the magic circle.
"Is this Devil chess pieces?"
As the box slowly opened, the objects arranged inside, resembling chess pieces, revealed the answer to this question.
As mentioned before!
After the great war between the Devils, Angels, and Fallen Angels, each faction suffered such immense losses that they had no choice but to rely on humans.
Heaven created organizations like the Church, vigorously training human exorcists and church personnel who could wield the power of light.
The Fallen Angels continued their usual style: when they were short on talent, they would tempt personnel from the Angel faction.
As for the Devils' solution, it was proposed by the Devil faction's genius spellcaster, Demon King Ajuka Beelzebub.
To rapidly increase the Devil faction's combat power, and also to effectively solve the problem of difficult Devil reproduction and increase the number of Devils.
Ajuka, one of the current Four Great Demon Kings, developed a technique to reincarnate creatures of other races into Devils using chess pieces.
The name of this technique is—"Devil chess pieces."
It is a technique that uses chess pieces modeled after human world chess, creating High-Class Devil chess pieces in the shape of chess pieces, allowing High-Class Devils to use them on creatures of other races, thereby reincarnating them into Devils and making them their dependents or servants.
There are a total of six types of pieces!
—"King" one piece
—"Queen" one piece, worth nine Pawns
—"Rook" two pieces, worth five Pawns
—"Knight" two pieces, worth three Pawns
—"Bishop" two pieces, worth three Pawns
—"Pawn" eight pieces
"Originally, this should have been given to you five years ago, but because of Grayfia, it has been delayed for so long."
As Ajuka said this, he also pushed the chess box forward with his hand.
"Is it because of these four mutated pieces?"
With a slightly helpless expression, Virion used two fingers to pick up a red Queen piece from the chess box.
Red pieces—normally, the colors used for Devil reincarnation pieces are the same as international chess, mostly black or white.
Just like this chess box of his, apart from these four red pieces, all the others are black pieces.
And this unique color indicates that it is an exception among Devil chess pieces—a mutated piece.
As the name suggests, they are mutated individuals among the Devil chess pieces.
They are no different from ordinary Devil chess pieces, with only one exception.
That is, even if the value of the reincarnated object is extremely high, they can ignore this value and reincarnate an object that would normally require multiple pieces with just one.
Such rare pieces are quite scarce; among High-Class Devils who possess Devil chess pieces, the probability is probably only one in ten.
He even knew that Rias Gremory, the younger sister of Demon King Sirzechs Lucifer, only possessed one such piece.
And then, he actually possessed four of these hard-to-obtain items at once.
One of them was even a never-before-seen mutated piece of the 'Queen' rank, which truly showed Grayfia's doting on him.
"Of course! I put a lot of effort into making these mutated pieces."
Ajuka said with a chuckle, giving the impression that although he was complaining, he wasn't really unwilling.
In fact, that was indeed the case.
Virion immediately understood the meaning of Ajuka constantly winking at him, shrugged, and patted Radix·Astil's shoulder, who was sitting beside him.
"Go, take the Demon King to understand the Numerology that was just used, then record it and give it to him."
"I understand, Lord Virion."
Radix·Astil immediately stood up, smiling slightly.
She was already familiar with such matters; after all, the same thing had happened countless times.
Sure enough, Ajuka immediately beamed with joy and likewise stood up, following behind Radix·Astil.
After both of them left, only Virion and Grayfia remained in the room.
"Your recent progress in strength is very good."
"Compared to the last time I saw you, the intensity of the spell you used this time is much higher."
Perhaps because Ajuka had left, Grayfia also temporarily shed her cold exterior, revealing a warm smile.
It had the feeling of a single smile charming a hundred beauties.
If such a face of Grayfia were seen by the talented young men in the Underworld, it would probably rekindle their admiration for Grayfia!
It should be known that Grayfia is very popular in the Underworld.
But her usual icy demeanor, however, invisibly stifled many admirers in their infancy.
The Demon King Sirzechs was also like this back then.
He had fallen in love with Grayfia during the Demon King civil war and pursued her for over a hundred years.
It was only in the last hundred years that he chose to give up, marrying a noble and elegant Devil young lady from the Baal Family and having children.
Therefore, this rare beauty in the world.
It truly was something only Virion could enjoy exclusively.
