"Hold on a minute! You're pledging your allegiance to the wrong person!" Roy exclaimed, waving his hands.

"What?!" The three girls were dumbfounded.

They had just sworn their loyalty, and now he was telling them they had the wrong person?

And oaths of loyalty weren't something to be taken lightly. Once sworn, they couldn't be broken.

"Your new master is Sona, the one who just became a Campione," Roy explained.

He had brought these three girls as potential servants for Sona.

After all, she still needed to fill a few Pawn positions in her peerage.

And he had promised to find her some suitable candidates.

"W-What do we do now?" The three girls were on the verge of tears.

They had sworn loyalty to the wrong Demon Lord.

They glared at Roy accusingly.

"Haha, don't worry, Sona won't blame you," Roy chuckled awkwardly.

"Come on, I'll take you to see her."

He led the three lolis to Sona's room.

...

"Tsubaki, how is she? Is Sona awake yet?" Roy asked the girls gathered around Sona's bed.

Although he had said it would take two days for her to wake up, Sona was a Devil, and her constitution was much stronger than that of an ordinary human.

It wouldn't be surprising if she woke up earlier.

"Kaichou's body seems to be changing," Tsubaki observed, adjusting her glasses.

"Oh?" Roy approached Sona and examined her.

Her body was being transformed by an unknown force. It seemed the reincarnation ritual was underway.

Pandora was transferring the Heretic God's Authority to Sona.

"Don't worry, this is normal. It seems she'll be waking up soon," Roy said, stroking his chin.

As expected, Sona, being a Devil, was much quicker at assimilating the god's power than a human.

Tsubaki and the others relaxed a bit, hearing his words.

...

An hour later, Sona woke up.

"Sona, how are you feeling?" Roy asked, sitting beside her bed.

"How long was I unconscious?" Sona asked, rubbing her forehead.

"Less than half a day," Roy replied with a smile.

"I see." Sona vaguely remembered what had happened after she fainted.

She had met a girl named Pandora in a white space.

And with Pandora's help, she had obtained the Authority of the Heretic God, Phobos.

"I'm a Campione now!" Sona exclaimed, looking at her hands in disbelief.

"Yes, you are. How about we test out your new powers?" Roy suggested.

Sona nodded eagerly.

They went to the training grounds.

Rias and the others were also curious about Sona's new Authority, so they came to watch.

Roy waved his hand, and they were all transported to the subspace.

"Sona, try out your Authority," Roy urged.

"Okay."

Sona chanted an incantation.

"My knights, charge!"

Suddenly, countless heavily armored knights materialized before her.

They charged forward, shaking the ground and leaving a trail of destruction in their wake.

Roy, however, shook his head. This Authority wasn't very impressive.

But then again, Phobos wasn't a powerful god. He was among the weakest of the Heretic Gods.

The stronger the Heretic God, the more powerful and numerous the Authorities obtained from defeating it.

Even so, Sona's strength had increased significantly.

First, she had broken through to Ultimate-class, reaching the peak of that level.

Her body had also become incredibly resilient. Even without using her powers, no one below Ultimate-class could harm her.

And ordinary curses and magic had no effect on her.

These were the benefits of becoming a Campione.

Sona was quite satisfied with her newfound power.

"This Heretic God was a bit weak. I'll find you a stronger one next time, Sona," Roy said.

"Roy, I'm already happy with this," Sona replied with a smile.

She was content with her sudden jump in power from High-class to peak Ultimate-class.

"Don't worry, I'll arrange it," Roy assured her.

"By the way, Sona, these are the servants I found for you," he said, presenting the three lolis.

"Who are they?" Sona asked, looking at them curiously.

"They're talented prodigies from various factions. They're more than qualified to be your Pawns," Roy explained with a grin.

Sona examined the three girls.

Although they were young, she trusted Roy's judgment.

"Would you three like to become my Pawns?" she asked.

"Campione-sama, we are willing," Yuri, Liliana, and Erica declared, kneeling and pledging their allegiance.

Sona smiled and accepted their loyalty, then used her Evil Pieces to reincarnate them as Devils.

Now, Sona's peerage was also complete.

However, compared to Rias's peerage, Sona's was still weaker.

After all, Yuri, Liliana, and Erica were still young.

But they were all geniuses. Once they grew up, they would be just as powerful as Xenovia and Irina.

...

Rossweisse, Fianna, and the other Elementalists were busy preparing for the summoning of the Heretic God.

And Diana and the other faction leaders were searching for information on Heretic Gods who had already descended upon this world.

A few days passed.

Rossweisse and Fianna were the first to be ready.

Rossweisse had gathered the necessary materials for the summoning.

And Fianna and the others had learned the summoning ritual.

Roy didn't waste any time.

He took them to a deserted island to perform the ritual.

The Bronze Black Cross had already made the necessary preparations on the island.

"Fianna, begin," Roy instructed.

"Okay!"

Fianna and the other girls began the summoning ritual.

Even Liliana, Yuri, and Erica participated.

A massive magic circle appeared before them.

"Rossweisse, which god are you summoning?" Roy asked curiously.

Rias, Sona, and the others also looked at her with interest.

"It's Loki!" Rossweisse declared.

Compared to the 'High School DxD' world, the mythology in this world was slightly different, but not by much.

Loki in 'Campione' World was the Norse God of Fire and Trickery.

Roy was surprised that Rossweisse was summoning Loki, a major god, on her first try.

The stronger the summoned god, the greater the burden on the shrine maidens.

The Heretic Gods Voban had summoned with ordinary shrine maidens were among the weakest.

But even those had almost caused the shrine maidens to collapse.

Summoning a major god like Loki was incredibly demanding.

Fortunately, it was Fianna and the others performing the ritual.

Ordinary shrine maidens wouldn't be able to handle it.

The magic circle glowed brighter and brighter.

The girls eagerly awaited the Heretic God's arrival.

Who would Roy choose to become the next Campione?

The magic circle reached its peak, and a pillar of light shot up into the sky, darkening the sky.

"Who dares summon me?" a powerful voice boomed.

A massive figure emerged from a rift in the sky.

It was Loki, the god of fire, his face etched with cunning.

Roy was surprised that Loki hadn't fully materialized.

Most of his body was still in the other dimension. He could easily retreat.

'I can't let him escape,' Roy thought.

He discreetly used his magic to form an invisible hand that pulled Loki through the rift.

Loki, caught off guard, was dragged into their world.

The rift closed, preventing his escape.

"You have angered me, mortals," Loki snarled, his pride wounded.

As the god of trickery and lies, he was used to being the one in control, not the other way around.

He unleashed his powerful aura, shaking the earth.

Roy quickly transported everyone to the subspace.

Here, Loki was trapped.

"Who wants to be the next Campione?" Roy asked the girls.

They were all eager, but none of them spoke up first.

Roy sighed. "Since you're all so shy, I'll decide. We'll summon more Heretic Gods later anyway."

"That's a good idea."

"I'll follow Roy's lead."

"No problem."

...

The girls readily agreed.

"Loki is the god of fire, trickery, and lies. So, his Authorities are related to fire and illusions," Roy explained.

"In that case, let's have someone who's good with fire."

He had already made his decision.

"Claire, Rubia, which one of you wants to be the next Campione?"

The two sisters exchanged glances.

"Let Onee-chan go first."

"Let Claire go first."

They both offered the opportunity to the other.

The girls chuckled, and Claire and Rubia blushed.

"Don't be shy. Claire, you go first," Roy decided.

Claire and Rubia nodded in agreement.
