"And as her doting big sister..."
She paused, then declared righteously: "For Sona's happiness, I've decided to do whatever it takes to cancel her engagement!"
C-Cancel the engagement?!
Akeno and Koneko both froze mid-motion, eyes wide as they stared at Serafall.
Wait, seriously?!
If this were before, back when Lynn's power wasn't known, canceling the engagement wouldn't have been that surprising.
But now?
He's literally a Maou-level being (for them)!
Would the Sitri family really just let go of a fianc like that?
Just for the Sona's happiness?
Akeno looked a little awkward.
And come to think of it Does Sona actually want to cancel the engagement? Did Serafall even talk to Sona about this?
Still, if the engagement really was canceled, wouldn't that be great news for Rias?
Akeno glanced at her.
Rias's face was going through an absolute rollercoaster of expressions.
First shock, then confusion then joy. Trying to stay composed but her lips were twitching, and she was clearly holding back a grin.
Akeno quietly clicked her tongue in amazement. That was one hell of a facial performance.
On the sofa, Rias was doing her best to keep her smile down, but anyone could tell how happy she was just from her eyes.
(Sona, you're the one who gave up first!)
Rias knew full well that someone like Sona wouldn't bring up canceling the engagement herself.
But whether it's by choice or notRias didn't care.
This was her chance!
If Lynn and Sona were no longer engaged, and she put Lynn's name forward as her new fianc, her familyand her big brotherwould definitely back her up!
As for the Phenex family?
Sure, they were pure-blooded nobles, but they didn't even come close to the value of a young, ridiculously powerful Maou.
But just as Rias was getting excited.
Serafall's eyes lit up with determination as she added: "Even if I have to sacrifice myself!"
""
"Wait, WHAT?!"
Rias's grin froze in place.
Sacrifice yourself?? What the hell does that mean?!
Even Akeno and Koneko looked lost.
Then Serafall slapped her hand on the table and announced righteously: "So, I've decided! I'll take over Sona's engagement and become Lynn's fiance instead!"
Rias: "???????"
Rias's face was full of question marks.
What do you mean, take over the engagement? Why would you even need to?!
Akeno and Koneko were straight-up dumbfounded.
Wait is this even allowed?
The entire Occult Research Club fell silent.
Everyone was completely stunned by Serafall's announcement.
It took Rias a while to find her voice.
"So what you're saying is"
"From now on, Lynn's fiance will be you, Lady Leviathan?"
"Yup!"
Serafall nodded without hesitation.
Zero shame. No sense of guilt for "stealing" her little sister's fianc.
Rias's eye twitched hard.
This wasn't canceling an engagement.
This was adding an even stronger and more dangerous rival!
Damn it!
With this, did she even stand a chance anymore?
Rias opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.
Akeno also looked at Rias, clearly worried.
What started as hopeful news just turned into an even bigger nightmare.
Koneko was stunned for a second, but then calmly munched on her snacks while watching the drama unfold.
She even sighed in her heart.
"These devils are so lame..."
Still fussing over who gets to be the fiance.
Meanwhile, back in the familia, who knows how many girls had already climbed into Lynn-senpai's bed?
She herself had even tasted his sweet white uhh...
Thinking of that made Koneko blush slightly.
Too bad. Because of her sister, she hadn't yet fully experienced Lynn-senpai's warmth.
"Sigh. When will I finally be old enough?"
She wanted to bear Lynn-senpai's child, just like her sister.
Resting her cheek in her hand, Koneko fell into a daydream.
Meanwhile, at the Fallen Angel HQ
News had just come in that the Old Satan Faction was completely wiped out by Lynn single-handedly.
"Him again?"
Azazel was in the middle of working on an artificial Sacred Gear when he got dragged out of his lab.
Looking over the report, he couldn't help but whistle.
The Old Satan Faction was one hell of a tough nut to crack. And Lynn crushed them all alone?
Even he wouldn't dare try something like that!
Azazel narrowed his eyes.
Lynn's strength wasn't just about taking down Kokabiel anymore. At this point he might be beyond Maou-level.
Azazel stared at Lynn's report, deep in thought.
That upcoming three-Factions summit?
Yeah, Lynn was definitely getting a seat at the table.
Nearby, Vali's eyes lit up when he heard the news. Battle thirst kicking inhard.
But he also looked a little weirded out.
The organization he just joined?
Totally wiped out.
What the hell?
In the Underworld former base of the Old Satan Faction
A young man with silver-white hair and red eyes appeared silently.
He stroked his chin as he stared at the now-empty compound.
"So a major branch of the Khaos Brigade got completely solo'd?"
Lynn Valifer
Thinking of that name, Siegfried narrowed his eyes.
Someone like thatyeah, Cao Cao would definitely be interested.
Khaos Brigade Core Palace
A long black-haired loli sitting on a throne suddenly opened her eyes and murmured:
"The power of the Snake has been fully accepted"
She could no longer sense a part of it.
What happened?
Ophis tilted her head in confusion.
And more importantly she felt some kind of faint, inexplicable connection to something.
.
.
.
The Infinite Loli Dragon
(Bonus)
At the familia Home
Lynn sat down to check on his current status.
Since becoming a Super Devil, he had undergone a complete transformation in terms of strength.
But interestingly, his abilities like [Devil's Piece] and [Devil's Contract] hadn't really changed much.
What really surprised him, though, was the "snake" power relayed through Katerea Leviathan.
He raised his hand, and a faint illusion began to take shape, changing the place around him.
...
In a deep, eerie palace, Ophis sat on a throne.
She stared blankly ahead with a completely emotionless expression.
Ophis slowly turned her head, those deep, unblinking black eyes locking onto Lynn. She tilted her head slightly, as if puzzled by his presence.
Seeing her like that, Lynn raised a brow and muttered in surprise, "...Infinite Dragon God?"
He hadn't expected this at all.
That "snake" from Katerea Leviathan had allowed him to manifest a vision of Ophis herself? Wait...that's right, is it?
He frowned, digging into his memory.
—
[Contract of the Snake]
Summons the illusion of the "Infinite Snake," granting the following effects:
+30% stat boost
Instant spellcasting
Space Lock (prevents teleportation or escape abilities within a set area)
—
He opened his personal interface and murmured, "Yeah I was right."
That was indeed the skill.
But if he remembered right, that illusion was just a hollow image. No movement, no expressionjust a passive visual effect.
But what was in front of him now was totally different.
The setting, the figure it was too vivid. Too real.
"..."
"You're the one, huh"
Ophis' monotone voice echoed softly.
Lynn's expression grew complicated.
Was she... talking to him through the illusion?
Alsowhat did she mean by "the one"?
Following the "ask if you don't get it" principle, Lynn asked directly, "What do you mean I'm the one?"
Ophis stared at him, her voice calm and cold, "The snake's power it was you who severed it."
Lynn narrowed his eyes.
He still wasn't sure exactly what she meant, but that line revealed a few things.
The connection between Ophis and the snake's powerwas gone.
Was it because of Katerea Leviathan? Because she had been reincarnated as his familia member?
Or was it something to do with the now-extinct Old Satan Faction?
Either way it was kind of his fault.
And maybe not, 'kind of.'
Lynn shrugged. "Well, guess that was me."
Deep down, he stayed on alert.
Even if Ophis came off harmless in the original story, he couldn't afford to drop his guard. This was still a Dragon God we're talking aboutone of the top two powerhouses in the whole world.
Even as a Super Devil, Lynn didn't feel confident facing someone of that caliber head-on.
He wondered if the power he got from Ingvild Leviathan could actually affect someone like the Infinite Dragon God.
I mean, she's still a dragon right? So Nereid Kyrie is ok?
That said, Lynn wasn't planning on testing it unless absolutely necessary.
Plus Ophis didn't seem hostile at all.
At least for now, she didn't look like an enemy.
Maybe there's a chance to win her over?
...
Of course, Ophis had no idea that Lynn was busy plotting how to "pack her up and take her home."
She just silently stared at the snake power that lingered around himpower that didn't come from her.
It came from him?
A flicker of confusion crossed her usually emotionless eyes.
Still, there was no doubt. Her senses weren't wrong.
But how? The snake should have been her power and hers alone.
And yet now there was another being with an "infinite" power.
Even if it was still too weak.
So then, was he family?
The thought surfaced in her mind.
And for the first time in ages, her emotions stirred.
"How strange."
Ophis didn't understand the feeling, but she didn't hate Lynn. In fact, there was something oddly familiar about him.
It made her want to get closer.
But then she remembered the "Dream"That dragon who drove her from her home.
Her emotions settled.
She still needed the Khaos Brigade.
Still needed to reclaim her home from that dragon.
With that thought, she waved her hand and dispersed the illusion.
But just before it vanished, a ball of energy shot out and floated in front of Lynn.
And her calm voice followed. "Your 'infinity' is too weak. Grow stronger quickly."
Even though her voice stayed flat, it carried a trace of expectation.
If Lynn got strong enough, maybe he could help her chase out that dragon.
A few seconds later, the illusion fully vanished.
Lynn stared at the hazy, swirling gray mist left behind in his room.
It actually turned the illusion into reality.
Yeah. No doubt about itthis woman really is the second most powerful being in the world.
After quietly admiring the moment, he sank into thought.
But was this the "snake" power? What exactly did Ophis mean?
"Infinity."
He hadn't acquired any such power, right?
Just then, the snake power from Katerea Leviathan pulsed inside him.
A feeling of deep hunger, of longing, stirred within him.
Lynn raised a brow and stared at the gray mist. After thinking for a second, he reached out toward it.
Buzz
The moment he touched it, the mist responded like it was being summoned, surging into his body through his fingertips.
Buzz
Lynn instantly stopped its advance and carefully scanned it with his magic.
Once he was sure there were no hidden dangers, he released control.
Next thing he knew, the snake power within himoriginally from Katerea devoured the gray mist entirely!
[Ding! You have obtained the skill: Ouroboros Ring!]
Lynn's brow lifted as he checked the new ability.
[Ouroboros Ring]
Skills
Flesh Loop:
— Self-Regeneration: Injured areas grow snake-scale patterns. Regeneration is massively accelerated by "consuming one's own flesh."
— Energy Cycle: 60% of expended magic/stamina loops back into the body, laying the foundation for a "perpetual motion combat style."
Status: [Incomplete]
Lynn rubbed his chin, reading the skill description carefully.
Looked like a powerful self-sustain ability.
Actually stronger than his [Healing Devil] skill in terms of personal utility.
Of course, that one from Marikawa Shizuka is a group buff, while this one is purely for himselftotally different categories.
Then he noticed the "[Incomplete]" tag.
It reminded him of another ability[Gastrea Factor] before giving him, [Zodiac Pilgrimage].
Felt like this Ouroboros Ring was hiding something big.
Ophis really dropped a heavy gift on him, huh.
With a bit of anticipation, Lynn closed his status screen and pondered Ophis' intentions.
Why would she do this? He didn't get it.
But if nothing else, this made it way more likely that he could eventually win her over.
"Your infinity is too weak"
That line echoed in his mind, and Lynn smirked.
He really wanted to say "Well, if you become my Familia, then my 'infinity' will naturally grow stronger."
Maybe he should try that next time?
These loli-types are usually easy to coax anyway.
Just as he was plotting how to kidnap the infinite dragon loli
His phone rang.
It was Yukinoshita Haruno.
"Lynn-sama~" Haruno's teasing voice came through.
"We caught a 'secret agent' sneaking into the company. Wanna come over and punish her~?"
She really emphasized the word punish.
Lynn raised a brow.
This Haruno was definitely implying something.
"Is she good enough to be recruited into the Familia?"
"Bingo~"
If she wasn't Familia material, Haruno wouldn't have bothered reporting itshe'd have handled it herself.
Meanwhile, at Lynn Group.
In an underground prison that had been secretly expanded at some point.
Haruno was talking on the phone while smiling sweetly at the girl tied up in front of herKirasaka Sayaka.
But to Sayaka, that smile looked straight up demonic.
And when she heard the calm male voice coming from Haruno's phone, her whole body shuddered.
W-Wait
Was she about to bePunished?!
Was it that kind of punishment?
Embarrassing images started flashing through her mind.
But thanks to her personal tastes, even the darker scenes still stayed well, yuri flavored.
WaitThis time, it's gonna be a guy?
Ugh!
Sayaka suddenly found it hard to breathe, her mind spinning from lack of oxygen.
Her eyes rolled backand she passed out cold.
Haruno paused mid-sentence.
"Ah"
"She fainted."

Coreal/N:
As you know, no chs tomorrow.
Also some of my fanfics will be wrapping up soon, but honestly, all the Chinese fanfics coming out lately are so trash that I just can't bring myself to translate them anymore. Even the better ones just follow the plot with no creativity. So I figured, might as well start writing my own.
