Riser Phenex isn't a villain

Chapter 357: Nothing can defeat him anymore

"Mitsuya Kanzaki, huh?"

Riser only knew the name of this young man, who owned the Innovate Clear and Telos Karma at the same time. Still, the Telos Karma on this young man's body was given by Momiji Nakiri, the young sister of the previous heir of the Ouryuu clan, and as expected, due to the Longinus that resided in her body, she could only leave the clan and lived like Akeno.

Still, knowing this decision, Riser wondered why the Five Principal Clans could stay alive until now.

Not only did those clans cause a mess with the only daughter of Baraqiel, but there was also a Longinus user.

Somehow, Riser wouldn't be surprised if these clans were somehow destroyed in the original development. Well, this clan had already been destroyed, leaving the Himejima Clan due to his cause.

As for the Shinra Clan, which was from Tsubaki Shinra's family, Sona's queen, she didn't care much since she had never felt a family affection toward this family either.

The treatment of the Five Principal Clans to those who owned the Sacred Gears was extremely harsh, as they would be banished no matter who their identity was.

Tsubaki owned a Sacred Gear, and it was also the reason why she was so glad to join Sona, as her family's treatment toward her was so violent that she couldn't bear to remember her childhood.

Hearing that the Shinra clan was destroyed by Tiamat, instead of being sad, she was only surprised before continuing to be indifferent. Frankly, before Tiamat destroyed the Shinra Clan, it had asked Tsubaki, but somehow, they didn't have a chance to do so, and their sacred beast was taken away.

Still, Riser also wasn't in the mood to talk about those things since it was meaningless. Instead, he took out the Innovate Clear and Telos Karma from Mitsuya Kanzaki's body. The process was smooth as it wasn't his first time to do this, but nevertheless, Albion, who could see everything, could only stare at all of this helplessly, thinking that the world was as good as his.

At the same time, Albion was glad that he didn't try to provoke Riser during that time.

"Suzaku, can you take this guy out?"

Suzaku, who had been waiting outside to guard Riser's ritual, entered before looking at Mitsuya Kanzaki in surprise. "Is he still alive, Riser-sama?"

"Do you want me to kill him?"

"Well... I thought that taking out the Sacred Gear or Longinus from someone's body would kill their owners."

Whether it was the Sacred Gear or the Longinus, they were like an organ within one's body. As long it was taken out, the host would die. Even if the Five Principal Clans didn't take much of the importance of those items, they still knew the basics of them as many of their clan members were born with them.

"That should be the case with the others, but not me."

"That's amazing."

If it were others, she might not believe it, but this was Riser Lucifer, the strongest being in the world.

"Just give him to those who are hurt by him. Tell them that they can do whatever they want with him."

"Yes, Riser-sama."

Suzaku nodded and thought that it was the most appropriate.

Killing Kanzaki Mitsuya was easy, but they might as well give this chance to those who were hurt or even killed by him, considering how brutal Kanzaki was.

Having Telos Karma and Innovate Clear might give him a right to be arrogant, considering the billions of people in this world weren't his opponent, but the Himejima clan had the protection of Riser, so was there something that they needed to worry about?

After calling her subordinates, they bowed their heads at Riser and then took out Kanzaki like trash.

Watching Kanzaki, who was pulled outside, Riser wondered whether this guy was a protagonist. This might be strange for him, but as he had become Desperado, he could see the fate.

Those characters within the plots would have this bright and thick string on the top of their heads, but those who weren't related to the plot had a thin or almost invisible string as their fate was irrelevant to the future of the world.

However, similar to Issei, Kanzaki's string of fates was quite thick.

'Talking about fate.'

When Riser thinks about Tobio, Suzaku's fiancee, he thinks that Tobio should also be the protagonist, considering how even if he had taken out the Canis Lykaon from Tobio's body, there was this hidden power within Tobio.

On the other hand, Cao Cao was miserable after the True Longinus was taken out of his body; he was nothing but a normal human.

"So, with this, there are eight Longinus that I have collected."

There were 13 Longinus in the world, and he had collected most of them.

Among those he collected were True Longinus, Dimensional Lost, Divine Dividing, Canis Lykaon, Absolute Demise, Innovate Clear, and Telos Karma. Still, among those eight, he lent Dimensional Lost to Georg so he could check the situation of the future Gasper and Absolute Demise to Lavinia Reni as she was eaten by him.

Those he didn't collect were Boosted Gear, Regulus Nemea, Incinerate Anthem, Sephiroth Graal, and Annihilation Maker.

Riser didn't take the Regulus Nemea as Sairaorg held it, and he didn't think that even if Sairaorg held it, something would change since the limit of the Regulus Nemea was only so-so. Moreover, it was impossible for Sairaorg to betray the Underworld for Issei, especially when Sairaorg's ambition was within the Underworld.

Meanwhile, "Boosted Gear" should now be within Issei, and Riser was waiting for Issei to be revived before he took this guy down.

As for Incinerate Anthem, Sephiroth Graal, and Annihilation Maker, Riser wasn't in a hurry, as there was something that he wanted to check, especially the Sephiroth Graal.

Moreover, Riser also knew that there was Sacred Gear that had power that was comparable to the Longinus, such as Star Buster Star Blaster and Unknown Dictator, which he owned, and also Alphecca Tyrant, which wasowned by Meredith, his contractor magician.

Besides that, there should be Forbidden Balor View, a Sacred Gear owned by Gasper, so at this moment, he was going to visit Rias as he needed to have a showdown with Gasper. However, when he was about to leave, Suzaku was surprised. "Huh? Riser-sama, are you going to leave?"

"Well..."

"But... I was about to thank you..." Suzaku's face was covered by a cute blush as she wore her old high school uniform.

What was this woman?

"I will stay a little while."

Hugging Suzaku, Riser went to the room where Tobio had lived previously, tainting their precious memories within the room with a lewd cry from Suzaku.

Still, the next day, Riser didn't waste his time and visited Rias in Kuoh town as he told the truth.

"H-Huh?! I am going to become a criminal?!" Gasper was in a shock.

At that time, Rias and all the members of her peerage were in horror.
