Gilgamesh in DxD

"Or you will point to Beelzebub instead" Sirzechs then waved his hand to the left side where Ajuka, who simply gave Sairaorg a welcoming nod.

Sirzechs didn't even bother to point to the vacant throne of Asmodeus, knowing that no one wanted to challenge him anymore. Although Falbium was considered the weakest of the four, he was also widely considered the most cunning, a person who had plans within plans, and the Underworld had long ago learned the folly of challenging him.

Sirzechs then pointed to himself, "Or you will look for mine-"

"Lord Lucifer, why do you need to ask? Haven't I already made my intentions clear?" Sairaorg spoke up, interrupting Sirzechs, "I told you, I am going to become the strongest. Therefore, the only seat I desire is that of the strongest Maou" Again, he pointed his fist at Sirzechs, "Yours. One day, Sirzechs Lucifer, I will seek your throne and make it mine."

You could have heard a pin drop in the silence that followed his declaration before the hall exploded again with sound. Although this time there were more cries of disapproval than of support compared to last time. No surprise there, Sirzechs was an incredibly popular leader, arguably the greatest Maou the Underworld ever had. Sairaorg may have lost more than a few of his supporters after that, but if the look on his face was any indication, he didn't care.

"As expected, you really are a remarkable cousin" Sirzechs murmured thoughtfully as he rubbed his chin with a small smile on his lips. His earlier words were spoken in a low voice so that only those on stage and perhaps Sairaorg could have heard him. Although his next words were loud enough that the entire hall could hear them, "However, if you think that the throne of the strongest is so easily reached, allow me to rectify that misconception."

Then Sirzechs Lucifer, the strongest Maou, stopped hiding his power.

In the blink of an eye, almost all the Demons in the Hall, from the boisterous competitors to the offended Elders, were silent before falling to their knees. They did not bend their knees willingly, but were forced by the oppressive pressure that filled the air, their feet no longer able to support their own weight under it.

Without lifting a finger or speaking a single word, Sirzechs Lucifer reminded all who stood before him of his power.

Even now, sealed, the power emanating from him eclipsed everyone in the room, it was enough to bring them to their knees and make them tremble in terror. Gilgamesh knew that this was only a fragment of his true strength, that in his true form he was even stronger, much stronger. And while Sirzechs continued to smile benevolently at his subjects, his eyes told a different story. They were still blue, their pupils still round like a human's, but there was something else there, a gleam that wasn't there before, that suggested the madness that gripped his soul as hellfire flickered in the depths of his eyes.

Yet even in the face of the overwhelming power produced by the Crimson Satan the King of Heroes and his companions stood without any trouble, even Asia was fine due to the aura of all her friends protecting her.

Gilgamesh then looked at the people who were also standing.

There were seven among the Elders who remained under Sirzechs' power, which was not a big surprise. Unlike humans, demons only get stronger with age.

The first was Sairaorg. Although he was much closer to Sirzechs than the other competitors, so he suffered more from the pressure, he still managed to stand tall and proud as ever. Even when a drop of sweat broke out on his forehead and dripped down his face, he didn't let his wide, confident smile fall for an instant.

The other one who remained was Rin Astaroth.

The genial younger sister of Ajuka Beelzebub was standing calmly with her arms folded as she didn't seem to feel Sirzechs power and all her Nobility behind her were also standing without issue, although they wore cloaks preventing Gilgamesh from recognizing them.

It wasn't much surprise to see her standing, the only one who could perform with Sairaorg in the new generation was her, the sister of the Demon King Beelzebub and a candidate to become a Super Devil in the future.

"It is because it is hard to achieve that I seek it."

At Sairaorg's words, the Sirzechs cut off his power, hiding it so completely and quickly that it almost made me lose my balance.

"If you understand this, then there is no reason for me to warn you further" Sirzechs looked at Sairaorg with the amused and proud smile still on his lips, before tilting his head, "Your ambition has been heard and acknowledged Sairaorg Bael. Now you may return to your seat."

Sairaorg bowed deeply toward Maous before he turned and walked down from the podium back to his place in line. After a moment to pull himself together, the herald shook himself out of his stupor and announced the next name on the list.

It took a while for everyone to shake off the effects of the last few minutes, but soon the ceremony began again and Gilgamesh was hearing the eight - or was it the ninth - future champion of the Rating Game tonight.

Soon after that another person approached the stage and was called out.

She was a young woman, thin, with light skin and dark hair, her eyes are the color aqua. She wears her hair divided into two tails tied by black ribbons, with a loose volume behind her shoulders and a flowing fringe split in half. She is wearing a noble dress.

And above all what was most striking, besides her appearance was the immense power she possessed.

Even from a distance her power was so great for her age that Gilgamesh could easily say she was Ultimate Class at least, perhaps Maou Class.

If Sairaorg was someone who trained his body to the limit because he had no talent at all and thus became strong, the girl in front of him was the opposite.

Someone who was born strong and was destined since birth.

She was Rin Astaroth the younger sister of Ajuka Beelzebub and also known as Rin Tohsaka in the Fate universe.

Gilgamesh still didn't know why the Goddesses had brought her to this world and really didn't want to know.

The girl knelt before the Maous and everyone turned their attention to her, even Ajuka looked at her and smiled slightly.

And then she spoke her wish, the same wish as Sairaorg.

"I will become Maou" Rin said seriously to everyone.

But this time it was different, unlike Sairaorg she was not mocked, not told that her dream was impossible.

Unlike with Sairaorg all the Elders applauded her and spoke encouraging words to her.

For unlike Sairaorg who was considered talentless and could never surpass Sirzechs, Rin was the opposite.

She was a person who was born with immense power and talent superior to all with the potential to become a Super Devil in the future and was still the sister of Ajuka Beelzebub.

Sirzechs simply smiled amused, "The same desire as Sairaorg? So you are after my throne too?" asked Sirzechs always with a smile on his face.

Rin however firmly denied it, "I have no interest in your accent, all I want is to surpass my brother, even if it takes seculus, but I will become the Maou Beelzebub" said Rin firmly as her eyes locked onto Ajuka's.
