Although Rias started the Rating Game, the outcome was not unexpected.
After Rias and Akeno cooperatively and easily defeated Riser's Queen, the remaining Riser peerage members couldn't cause any trouble.
Riser, whose limbs had been crippled and still hadn't recovered, could only watch helplessly as his peerage members were defeated one by one.
Eventually, unable to endure the humiliation, he chose to forfeit.
"It's over already? That was too fast, truly boring."
Teacher Zhong Chen couldn't help but yawn after speaking.
"Teacher Zhong Chen, who do you think caused all of this?"
Sona Sitri looked at Zhong Chen, who was complaining about boredom, with a speechless expression.
"But I think you won't be bored for long. The people looking for trouble with you are here!"
Sona Sitri pointed at the Phoenix Clan Leader and others walking towards them, telling Zhong Chen with a schadenfreude expression.
"Oh my, they're finally here! I've been waiting impatiently!"
Seeing the Phoenix Clan Leader, Zhong Chen felt like he had seen God, even though the God of this world was no longer around.
But that didn't stop Zhong Chen from giving the highest praise to someone who could bring him joy.
"Hmph, human, did you do something to my son? I advise you to quickly cure my son, otherwise..."
The Phoenix Clan Leader, thinking of Riser who still couldn't recover, angrily warned Zhong Chen loudly.
"Otherwise what? I won't cure him, so what are you going to do about it?"
Zhong Chen put on a roguish face and yelled at the Phoenix Clan Leader in front of him.
"Pfft!"
Sona Sitri, seeing Zhong Chen's roguish face, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Sitra's girl, are you mocking our Phoenix Family?"
The Phoenix Clan Leader, already infuriated by Zhong Chen, saw Sona dare to laugh and questioned her with a grim expression.
Zhong Chen looked at the Phoenix Clan Leader questioning Sona and couldn't help but give him a big thumbs up. Good heavens, what a brave man!
Doesn't this guy know that the ultimate sis-con is also here? Is he tired of living?
Indeed, just as Zhong Chen thought, before he could say anything, an innocent voice mixed with anger came over.
"Old man, how dare you scold our little Sona? I think you don't want to live anymore."
"Today, I will make your Phoenix Family extinct."
Saying that, Serafall was about to make a move, but Sirzechs stopped her.
"Sirzechs, get out of the way! Today, I'm going to destroy this old man to avenge little Sona!"
Looking at the gesticulating Serafall, Sirzechs covered his forehead helplessly.
Is the Phoenix Clan Leader sick? He just had to provoke this woman at this time. Doesn't he think he has enough problems already?
"Serafall, calm down first. We can talk about whatever it is later."
"Sister, please calm down for a bit. This is currently between Teacher Zhong Chen and them."
Sona, seeing the situation getting a bit out of control, quickly went to Serafall's side and tried to persuade her with a helpless expression.
"Waaah, Sona-chan, you're scolding me!"
"Sister..."
Leaving aside the conversation between the two sisters, Zhong Chen, with a meaningful smile, asked the person in front of him:
"Clan Leader of the Turkey Family... never mind, I'll just call you Old Turkey."
"Old Turkey, I'm right here. What do you want to do?"
Looking at Zhong Chen in front of him, the Phoenix Clan Leader roared furiously:
"Damn human, since you refuse to cure my son, then die!"
As he finished speaking, an incomparably scorching, massive fiery vortex appeared out of thin air, sweeping towards Zhong Chen, even encompassing Rimuru who was beside him.
Zhong Chen, seeing the fiery vortex sweeping towards them, secretly stopped Diablo and Testarossa who were about to make a move.
Boom... "Teacher Zhong Chen! Rimuru-kun!"
"Damn it!"
A violent explosion sound came, and Rias and others, who had just teleported out of the barrier, shouted nervously.
"Hehehe... Hahahahaha!!! Keke keke keke! They finally fell for it!"
A light chuckle came from the smoke. As the laughter gradually became more unrestrained, it eventually turned into a wild laugh.
At this moment, Testarossa's eyes lit up. She slowly walked to the center of the crowd and shouted to Sirzechs and other high-ranking Devil World officials:
"The Clan Leader of the Phoenix Family of the Devil World has publicly attacked His Majesty Rimuru, Emperor of the Monster Country Federation, and His Highness Zhong Chen, its Prince!"
"As a diplomatic and military official of the Monster Country Federation, I hereby declare!"
"The Monster Country Federation officially declares war on the Devil World!!!"
Hearing Testarossa's words, everyone present was stunned.
What was happening? It felt like a war was about to start out of nowhere? And which country was the Monster Country Federation anyway?
They had never heard of it.
Only Sirzechs's eyes flashed with solemnity. He had only heard of this name because Rias had asked him to investigate.
Could it really be a country?
"Mr. Zhong Chen, I think there might be a misunderstanding!"
Sirzechs rushed to Zhong Chen, hoping to salvage something.
Because as soon as the declaration of war was completed, the guy in the butler's uniform had already locked onto him tightly.
And he felt a strong threat from that person, and the woman who called herself a diplomatic and military official also gave him a fatal sense of threat.
"Heh heh, you're Rias's brother, right? There's no misunderstanding. He directly attacked a foreign dignitary, and that's a reason for war!"
"I wonder if angels or Fallen Angels publicly attacking you would also lead to a war between the three factions?"
Hearing Zhong Chen's words, Sirzechs was speechless for a moment.
Because Zhong Chen was right; any attack on a foreign country's highest dignitary at any time is a public declaration of war.
"Teacher Zhong Chen, I think all of this is a misunderstanding. Please consider it carefully... Rimuru-kun, no... His Majesty Rimuru!"
Sona Sitri also anxiously tried to persuade Zhong Chen at this time, and looked at Rimuru with a pleading expression.
"I support A Chen's every decision, Miss Sona. If you truly want to stop this war, only if A Chen changes his mind."
Hearing Rimuru's words, Sona once again focused her gaze on Zhong Chen.
"President Sona, didn't I say before that I could help Rias break off her engagement, but I wouldn't be responsible for the consequences?"
"After this war, I think the red envelopes President Sona received will come in handy!"
After Zhong Chen finished speaking, he looked at Rias, Akeno, and the others, who were in a daze.
"Rias, you guys shouldn't participate in this war, after all, it will end very quickly."
"And Koneko, these are Sakuya's desserts. Take your 部長 to the side."
After seeing Koneko take the desserts, Zhong Chen turned around, spread his arms, and shouted to everyone in front of him:
"Now! Gentlemen, the war has begun!"
As Zhong Chen's voice fell, a huge white portal, thousands of meters high and thousands of meters wide, appeared behind Zhong Chen.
Through the portal, one could see countless soldiers lined up neatly on the other side of the door, and among them were countless terrifying auras that made them feel startled...
