"Come! Excalibur—Divine Spear born from the Sword of Salvation and cut down all my enemies!"

Without hesitation, Lancelot charged towards Roy, her spear, aimed at his heart.

Clang!

Roy effortlessly blocked the attack with Est.

Lancelot didn't falter and continued her assault.

The sounds of clashing blades echoed through the subspace.

Their movements were incredibly fast, a blur to the onlookers.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After a few exchanges, Roy decided to end the charade. He swiftly overpowered Lancelot and pinned her down.

"You lose—" he declared with a smirk.

"How—I was defeated so easily?" Lancelot couldn't believe it.

"Nothing is impossible. According to my rules—those who lose to me become my servants. Are you ready?" Roy asked, lifting her chin with his finger.

"Never! I will not submit to a Campione—!" Lancelot retorted, turning her head away, her beautiful face filled with determination.

"It seems I'll have to put in some effort," Roy sighed.

It was understandable. No girl would readily agree to become someone's servant without getting to know them first.

But he had plenty of time. He would slowly "train" her, just like he did with the Princess with Glass Eyes.

But first, he had to deal with another matter.

...

As Lancelot was defeated—a powerful aura erupted from the Divine Spear—changing its appearance.

The immense pressure shook the subspace, threatening to tear it apart.

The girls watching from afar felt the oppressive force and their expressions turned grim.

"The [Divine Sword of Salvation] has awakened. The Last King—Rama, is about to emerge," Pandora announced gravely.

"He's powerful—Can Roy defeat him?" Rias asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, Rias. I believe Roy will win," Sona reassured her with a smile.

Rias nodded, looking at Sona with trust.

The powerful aura continued to surge from the Divine Sword, then coalesced into a figure.

It was Rama—the Last King.

"!!!"

Rama's eyes locked onto Roy and the others—Such a large group of Campiones was hard to miss.

His murderous gaze and overwhelming aura made it difficult for the girls to breathe.

Just then, another powerful aura erupted—suppressing Rama's.

He charged towards Roy with incredible speed.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Roy, wielding Est and the Sword of Piercing Truth—clashed with Rama in a flurry of blows.

They were evenly matched.

But Roy wasn't using his full strength yet. He had sensed that Rama was at the mid-level of the Planetary-level.

He didn't need to go all out.

Lancelot—who was still restrained by Roy's magic, watched in shock. She hadn't expected her spear to transform into Rama.

And she realized that Roy hadn't been serious in their fight.

She felt frustrated but helpless.

"It's over, Rama!" Roy declared coldly.

He appeared behind Rama in a flash and swung his sword.

Slice!

The unexpected attack cut Rama in two.

"You're strong—Campione," Rama acknowledged before vanishing.

"Roy, did you defeat him?" the girls asked, rushing over.

"Yes, I did. But Rama is immortal. He has transformed back into this," Roy replied, holding up the Divine Sword of Salvation.

"I see." The girls sighed in relief. Rama's presence had been incredibly oppressive.

...

They returned to the headquarters.

"Roy, what are we going to do with her?" Rias asked, looking at the restrained Lancelot.

"I plan to make her my servant, but she doesn't seem willing," Roy replied with a shrug.

He wasn't just collecting beautiful girls. After all, there were many beautiful goddesses among the Heretic Gods they had summoned.

"Should I 'train' her?" Esdeath offered with a sly grin.

Roy shuddered—Imagining Esdeath's methods. He decided against it.

"It's simple. Just do what you did with the Princess with Glass Eyes. Conquer her," Metis suggested with a mischievous grin.

The Princess with Glass Eyes blushed furiously, wishing she could disappear.

After all, she was the one who had been "conquered" by Roy.

Roy was tempted by the suggestion, but the other girls wouldn't allow it.

"Ara ara, why don't you leave her to me? I'll make her obedient," Akeno whispered seductively in Roy's ear.

Roy's eyes lit up. "Alright, I'll leave her to you—Akeno."

Compared to Esdeath, Akeno was definitely more trustworthy.

Akeno then led Lancelot away with a smile.

...

A year later, all the girls in Roy's peerage had reached Maou-level and above.

Roy's faction had become incredibly powerful without him realizing it.

With their current strength, they could probably conquer the entire—DxD World.

But Roy had no such ambitions.

Having achieved his goal of becoming stronger, he decided to return to DxD World with the girls.

After all, that was his home, and he missed his sister, Grayfia.

They vanished from the Campione World in a flash of light.

...

They reappeared in Roy's mansion at—Kuoh Academy.

"We're finally back!" Shizuka and Rika exclaimed.

This was their first home after escaping the apocalypse. They felt a sense of belonging here.

Rias and the others felt the same way.

That night, they celebrated their return and went to bed.

After settling Tohru and Ilulu, Roy didn't fall asleep immediately.

He looked at the two sleeping dragons, a mischievous glint in his eyes. He then activated a magic circle and vanished.

...

He reappeared at the headquarters of the—Youkai in Kyoto.

A beautiful woman was sitting alone, lost in thought.

"My Princess—did you miss me?" a voice suddenly asked from behind her.

She gasped, then turned around with a joyful expression and hugged the newcomer.

"Maou-sama, you're finally here!" Yasaka exclaimed.

Roy inhaled her sweet scent. "Sorry to keep you waiting," he said with a smile.

"Not at all! I'm just happy you're here."

Yasaka was so adorable.

"Is Kunou asleep?" Roy asked.

"Um... I'm sorry, Maou-sama, but Kunou has already fallen asleep here," Yasaka replied, glancing at the sleeping fox girl.

"I see." Roy frowned slightly.

"—Maou-sama, would you like to go somewhere else?" Yasaka offered.

Roy thought for a moment, then grinned. "No need. Watch this—"

He waved his hand towards Kunou, and she fell into an even deeper sleep.

"That should do it. Come here, my princess."

"Yes."

Yasaka nodded, a strange feeling washing over her as she looked at the sleeping Kunou.

It felt—different.

Roy smiled, watching Kunou's innocent sleeping face.

...

The next day, Roy woke Rias and Sona.

It was the weekend, and they were going shopping.

"Is everyone ready? Let's go!" Rias announced.

"Yeah!"

They headed to the mall.

Roy yawned, looking uninterested.

It wasn't because he was tired from last night's activities. He simply didn't enjoy shopping.

And the girls all had Storage magic, so he didn't need to carry anything for them.

He had been reluctant to come, but Rias and the others had insisted.

Roy sighed and followed the girls, carrying Ophis.

The large group of beautiful girls attracted many admiring glances as they walked down the street.

They arrived at a department store.

It was crowded, as it was the weekend.

"Alright, everyone, let's go find something you like!" Rias declared.

The girls cheered. For them, shopping was a battlefield.

They dispersed throughout the department store.

"Roy, is there anything you want to buy?" Sona asked.

"Hmm, not really," Roy replied, then looked at Ophis—who was clinging to him like a koala.

"Ophis, do you want to buy anything?"

"I want—Great Red's head," Ophis replied with a blank expression, licking her lollipop.

"Um—that will have to wait," Roy sighed.

Although Ophis had become close to everyone, she hadn't forgotten her desire to defeat Great Red.

"I think I'll take Ophis to the food court. You girls can go shopping," Roy said to Sona and Rias.

"Okay."

Sona and Rias exchanged glances, then nodded.
