Chapter 266: Prelude to the Meeting
The girl was nearing the peak of ecstasy, panting softly, "Mmm… yes… so good… heavenly… harder… mm… my good master…"
Haruto tightened his grip and intensified the dragon's thrusts, heightening the girl's stimulation.
After thrusting for a short while, Li reached climax once more, collapsing limply into Haruto's embrace. Her snow-white arms clung tightly to him as she buried her delicate face against his shoulder, her tender body trembling uncontrollably.
Under the tight, sucking embrace of the girl's incredibly constricted flower path, Haruto let out a low growl. He thrust forward, pressing his massive dragon deeply into the pink, moist valley. The enormous head squeezed past the cervical opening, occupying the deepest part of the girl's body.
Subsequently, streams of thick, white life essence surged forth with each pulsation of the dragon, filling Li's lower abdomen to the brim.
After about three minutes, Haruto twisted his hips, squeezing the last few drops of essence into the girl's valley before withdrawing his dragon to await the next patient.
...
...
The next morning, in the student council room.
Rias, Sona, and Haruto sat around the conference table.
"Sona, Haruto."
Rias produced a roll of yellowed parchment and said, "Early this morning, I received word from Grayfia. The location and time for the three-faction summit have been confirmed."
Sona nodded slightly but didn't take the parchment. As the next head of the Sitri family with an elder sister who is one of the Four Great Devil Kings, her situation was almost identical to Rias's—she had already been notified about this matter.
"Both Satan Lucifer and Satan Leviathan will attend this conference."
The council president adjusted her glasses, looking seriously at Haruto as she continued, "And the Red Dragon Emperor has also been invited..."
"I'll be going too."
Rias took over the conversation, "Not just me—Akeno and the others will accompany me as well."
Sona nodded, "I'll also be attending, though I'll only bring Tsubaki with me."
Haruto picked up the parchment to examine it. Besides the location, it specified the time—just three days from now.
With the leaders of the three great factions gathering in one place, conspirators who thrive on chaos certainly wouldn't miss such an opportunity.
The specific venue for this conference was the mountain villa where Haruto had previously undergone special training. Though remote and rarely visited by people, it contained all necessary facilities, making it well-suited as a negotiation site.
As the 'host,' Rias needed to make preparations in advance, and bringing her peerage could be considered a security measure.
Although Haruto thought that if even the top experts from the three great factions couldn't handle any enemies that might appear, figures like Akeno wouldn't make much difference—but certain protocols still had to be followed.
"Beyond the three-faction negotiations, the main focus will also be on the Red Dragon Emperor and White Dragon Emperor."
Sona looked at Haruto, "Are you fully aware of the matters concerning the White Dragon Emperor and Red Dragon Emperor?"
"Mostly aware."
Haruto shrugged. In his memories, the White Dragon Emperor had already appeared before the three-faction summit in the original timeline, but due to the butterfly effect, this summit had been scheduled much earlier.
Not only had the White Dragon Emperor not yet appeared, but even Azazel—who originally participated in the talks—had already been turned to dust. The world had long since begun developing in a different direction.
"The White Dragon Emperor and Red Dragon Emperor are mortal enemies. It's said that the current White Dragon Emperor has completely mastered the Balance Breaker of his Sacred Gear."
Knowing Haruto's true relationship with the Red Dragon Emperor, Rias warned, "Moreover, this generation's White Dragon Emperor stands with the fallen angels. As long as you possess the Red Dragon Emperor's Gauntlet, he will always consider you his rival."
"Don't worry, I never underestimate any opponent."
Haruto didn't want to dwell on the matter of the White Dragon Emperor. Ever since deciding to seize the Red Dragon Emperor's Gauntlet and turn Issei Hyoudou back into an ordinary human, he had prepared himself to bear the karmic consequences that came with it.
Moreover, with the current changes in various factions, he had no intention of relying on the vague memories in his mind, even actively discarding them.
"President, who exactly is attending this conference?" Haruto asked.
"Fallen Angel Governor Shemhazai, and Michael, one of the Four Great Seraphs of Heaven," Rias replied. "Also, the Devil King Lucifer and the Devil King Leviathan."
"Why are two Devil Kings being sent from the Underworld?" Haruto was somewhat puzzled. "And I get the feeling the other two don't hold the same status as the Devil Kings. Shouldn't Heaven be sending a Chief God?"
"The situation here is quite complicated and can't be explained quickly," Rias said, rubbing her pale temple. "Sona, could you explain it to Haruto? I have some matters to attend to with the club."
Sona nodded, then asked curiously, "Did something happen with the club?"
"Well... nothing major, but if I don't handle it quickly, it'll become troublesome later." As she spoke, Rias shot a glare at Haruto.
Haruto seemed to recall something and quietly turned his head away, pretending not to notice.
He had worked hard all night until dawn, only washing up briefly before heading to the teaching building for classes. During that time, he had not only administered multiple rounds of treatment but also filled four young women with reserve medications to slowly digest and absorb after returning. As a result, the clubroom, especially the rest area, was left in complete disarray. Even with the windows open, the strong scent permeated the entire room.
Since the four young women hadn't regained consciousness, Haruto hadn't cleaned up the aftermath. Judging by Rias's tone, she must have discovered the situation in the clubroom and rushed back to handle it.
"Ahem, President Sona, about that..." After Rias left, Haruto cleared his throat a few times and curiously inquired about the secrets of this world's upper echelons.
"This matter dates back to before the Great War of the Three Factions..." Sona tilted her head in thought for a moment before deciding to start from the beginning.
As one of the remaining Four Great Satans, the Sitri family's historical records had never been interrupted.
After the primordial chaos of this world first parted, a group of primordial deities was born. These innate gods possessed immense power but had simple personalities. They acted according to their preferences, frequently leading to friction that escalated into battles.
The innate gods could not reproduce, and upon death, they would return to the world's origin. As the innate gods continuously perished, the world gradually grew stronger. After an immense passage of time, the Three Realms formed, and new life emerged.
The surviving innate gods were quite intelligent. They began to form alliances, eventually creating two factions: one called themselves deities, the other called themselves Devil Kings. The two sides were irreconcilable, each wanting to completely eliminate the other.
However, their strengths were nearly equal, making it impossible to determine a victor. Thus, they turned their attention to the newly emerged intelligent beings. Although the first lifeforms born after the formation of the Three Realms were not as powerful as the gods, they still possessed considerable strength and existed in large numbers.
Under the guidance of the gods and Devil Kings, the divine race and the demon race were born. Led by the deities and Devil Kings, the two races began a protracted, large-scale war.
The potential of the divine and demonic races is immense. As they continuously grow, some gradually approach the upper limits of this world's power, yet they always fall slightly short compared to the innate deities.
Though the divine and demonic races have long lifespans, they still face mortality.
Through generations of reproduction, the minds of powerful individuals among the divine and demonic races began to change, becoming less loyal to the deities and the Devil King.
The simple-natured innate deities failed to notice these changes among the divine and demonic races. In chilling conspiracies and betrayals, they ultimately all returned to the world's origin.
Yet the divine and demonic races did not cease their war—while there were betrayers and conspirators, there were also loyalists and those filled with gratitude.
After the disappearance of the deities and the Devil King, the war instead intensified.
The prolonged conflict led the divine and demonic races down the same path as the deities and the Devil King, giving birth to demons and angels.
Those who kill will inevitably be killed; betrayers will themselves be betrayed.
The divine race dwindled to near extinction, while the ancient demons clung to survival.
The Underworld saw the rise of four new Satans, and the celestial realm split into three factions: angels, fallen angels, and the Ten Chief Gods.
The Ten Chief Gods, descendants of the divine race, possessed formidable strength but were distrusted by all sides, forced to live in a secluded corner of the celestial realm.
Angels, fallen angels, and the four Satans perpetuated their hatred, continuing the war.
This marked the origin of the Great War among the Three Factions.
Meanwhile, other life forms emerged in the world, including several powerful races.
Such as dragons, youkai, vampires, elves, humans, and more.
Though their overall strength couldn't match the three major factions, they occasionally produced top-tier powerhouses.
The most notable examples were the Two Heavenly Dragons—the White Dragon Emperor and the Red Dragon Emperor—who brought the Great War among the Three Factions to a halt.
Among the three factions, the demons appeared the strongest but were plagued by numerous internal issues, making them actually the weakest in combat effectiveness.
Internally, there was infighting among the ancient demons, or the Old Satan faction, while externally, their enemies—the angels and fallen angels—shared an inseparable relationship.
Additionally, there was the Ten Chief Gods, a powerful force leaning toward the light.
On the other hand, the fallen angels and angels were highly united, each with a clear leader, whereas the demons were divided under the rule of four Satans.
At least two Satans needed to mobilize to represent the demon faction.
