"Deviluke Star people?"
After the Sin Council meeting, a surprised voice rang out within the Astronomy Club's exclusive space in the Hidden Management Zone.
Upon hearing Enigma report this term, Luo Shu's head was buzzing.
Besides Luo Shu, Sharon, as the third party present, also showed an astonished expression:
"First, the Abyss Descent and deities manifesting, and now aliens arriving?"
"In some sense, this world truly suffers no shortage of calamities."
"Rather than the world's misfortunes, I'm more curious about Luo Shu's expression just now."
Enigma chuckled lightly, looking at Luo Shu with some amusement:
"Your expression earlier didn't seem like someone completely unfamiliar with Deviluke Star people."
At this, Luo Shu pinched the bridge of his nose, leaning back in his high-backed chair as he spoke somewhat perplexedly:
"I do know some things about Devilukeans."
"They're a humanoid race from space, generally possessing heart-shaped tails resembling those of demons, with naturally formidable combat abilities."
"If my information is correct, this race's king rules an entire star system through martial prowess in a certain world."
Hearing this, Enigma's smile instantly vanished.
A race that rules a star system?
Any race capable of galactic domination must possess warriors comparable to Demigods at a minimum. There might even be Angels or True Gods at the Divine Kingdom level.
That seemingly docile and petite girl, Lust, actually issued a mission to investigate such monstrous beings?
Enigma suddenly felt that joining the Hell Sect and becoming one of its Sin members might not have been the wisest choice.
These members were practically grandmasters at setting people up.
First issuing missions targeting the Hidden Management Department with its Demigod guardians, now searching for members of a galactic overlord's race.
If one charged in blindly without any intelligence...
Did you task-givers ever consider whether your missions might get people killed?
Meanwhile, Sharon showed only mild surprise upon hearing Luo Shu's words:
"Even if it's a martial race ruling star systems, as long as they're Abyssal visitors rather than beings from our world, there shouldn't be much to worry about, right?"
"Theoretically, yes, but practically speaking, the Devilukeans I know are almost universally troublesome."
Luo Shu mentally tallied the Devilukean individuals he knew.
Gid Deviluke, the galactic overlander, reportedly possessed planet-destroying power.
His wife, Sephie, supposedly had such bewitching beauty that seeing her face could rob people of reason.
Their three daughters each presented different dangers.
Lala Deviluke's near-Doraemon-level inventions and equally chaotic capabilities.
Additionally, her physical prowess was extraordinary - allegedly capable of altering typhoon paths through sheer vocal projection...
Her younger sisters, Nana and Momo Deviluke, possessed abilities comparable to those of their elder sister.
'Are you sure this isn't some monstrous Saiyan-like race?'
Luo Shu sent the recalled information through the Divine Pantheon Reconstruction System to Sharon and Enigma, then leaned forward, propping his chin on his hand with his elbow resting on the table:
"This is all the intelligence I currently have. After the meeting concludes, I'll attempt to gather more information through divination."
"Of course, while I call it intelligence, its accuracy isn't guaranteed. Consider it just as reference material."
"Even as reference... but a clan's king possessing power to destroy stars... that should be destructive capability beyond Angel Rank, shouldn't it?"
Sharon quickly scanned through the information Luo Shu had sent, showing particular interest in the power of Gid Deviluke, the king of the Deviluke clan.
According to her own evaluation within the Divine Pantheon Reconstruction System, the Angel Rank of her current path was designated as Virtue - an Angel who wields the Strength Authority.
Naturally, Sharon was quite curious whether a Virtue could achieve what Gid did - purely through physical or energy attacks to annihilate a planet.
Hearing Sharon's curiosity, Luo Shu calmly explained:
"Based on Kotoko's intelligence, under normal circumstances, directly destroying a planet is a destructive power only found at the Seraphim level - and even then, only among a minority of Seraphim."
"However, if we're talking about operations like piercing the planetary core or triggering stellar explosions, quite a few at Angel Rank could accomplish those."
For example, if Mukuro Hoshimiya were to ascend to Angel Rank with her Master of Seal and Unlock abilities fully unsealed, she could easily seal the moon's gravity and crash it into the Earth, triggering mass extinction.
She could also temporarily seal the surface's existence, causing everything on Earth to plummet into the core.
Many beings at Angel Rank could perform similar operations through their respective authorities.
But when it comes to pure physical or energy attacks, only a select few among Seraphim possess such instantaneous output.
After all, damaging a planet is simple, but crushing one to dust outright is a privilege reserved for true powerhouses.
Sharon seemed surprised by this: "So you're saying Gid Deviluke might have used some indirect technique?"
Could planetary destruction actually be summarised as something called "technique"?
To this, Luo Shu's response was simple:
"That's one possible speculation, but until we witness such power firsthand, it's best to assume he's capable of it."
"Better to believe it exists than to dismiss it as nothing?"
"Essentially, yes."
Luo Shu agreed with Sharon before turning to notice Enigma's subtle expression.
Ever since receiving his transmitted intelligence, Enigma had been frowning intently, as if verifying something.
"What's wrong, Enigma?"
At this, Enigma said suspiciously:
"I think I've seen one of them before..."
Sharon immediately turned her head at this.
Luo Shu also expressed surprise:
"Who did you see?"
Enigma lightly traced her finger through the air, using the permissions Luo Shu had bestowed to conjure a photograph mid-air.
And in the photograph was the figure of Momo Deviluke.
"If I'm not mistaken, I believe I've seen her before," Enigma said with uncertainty in her voice.
An actual Devilukean had come to this world? And seemingly Momo, nicknamed 'Little Sister-in-law'?
Luo Shu expressed his surprise as he asked:
"Where did you see her?"
Enigma then replied with a peculiar expression:
"At the recent Sin Council meeting."
"Unless there's been some mistake, she should be Lady Lust."
In an instant, Luo Shu fell silent.
So this mission was actually about a lost younger sister searching for her family?
But how had Momo become Lady Lust of the Sin Council?
Luo Shu was utterly baffled...
