"I see," Sairaorg said, understanding Roy's intentions.

This way, he could fight at his full potential.

"Thank you," he said gratefully.

"I look forward to your performance," Roy replied with a smile.

Their relationship had subtly shifted. It was no longer a battle between equals.

It was a challenge from a subordinate to a superior.

And Roy was the superior.

They were then transported to the arena.

It was a vast expanse of outer space, with a white, barren landscape below.

Roy and Sairaorg appeared there.

Roy hadn't brought any of his servants.

Sairaorg, however, had his remaining Queen, Bishop, and Pawn with him.

"Sairaorg, show me your full strength," Roy said with a confident smirk.

Sairaorg was silent for a moment.

"Sairaorg-sama, please wear me!" a voice suddenly pleaded.

A young man with blond hair knelt before Sairaorg.

He then transformed into a golden lion.

This was Sairaorg's Sacred Gear, the "Regulus Nemea."

It was a sentient Sacred Gear that had easily defeated Rias in its first appearance.

"Please use my power!" the Lion King pleaded again.

"Silence! That power is only to be used in times of crisis for the Underworld!" Sairaorg roared.

He had overcome his weakness and reached his current strength through his own efforts.

He didn't want to rely on external power to win.

"Sairaorg, you've earned the Lion King's recognition. It's your power now. Use it," Roy urged.

Sairaorg was being too stubborn. He didn't understand that the Sacred Gear was a part of him.

Sairaorg considered Roy's words, then nodded in agreement.

"You're right. How could I have such foolish thoughts..."

"I thought I would never need to use it."

He shook his head, then declared, "Alright, then let's begin!"

The Lion King transformed into a golden light and merged with Sairaorg.

"My lion! King of Nemea! You, who has been called King of Lions! Answer my howl and turn into my armor!!"

"Balance Breaker: Regulus Rey Leather Rex!"

Sairaorg donned a golden suit of armor.

'He looks like a Gold Saint from Saint Seiya' Roy thought with amusement.

"Roy, thank you for allowing me to use the Regulus Nemea. I'll fight you with everything I've got," Sairaorg declared, his fighting spirit burning.

"Then, as a sign of respect, I'll also use my full power. Come at me!" Roy replied, beckoning him with a grin.

"Here I come!" Sairaorg roared, charging towards Roy and throwing a punch with all his might.

Roy simply raised a hand to block.

BOOM!

Their fists collided.

A powerful shockwave erupted, but Roy's hand didn't budge.

Sairaorg's eyes widened in surprise.

Although he had been prepared for Roy's strength, he was still shocked that his full-powered attack had no effect.

He didn't hesitate and attacked again.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

His punches were incredibly fast, a blur of fists.

But Roy effortlessly blocked every attack with his hand.

Sairaorg felt a sense of despair.

"Damn it! I have to achieve my dream! I can't fall here!" he roared, his determination unwavering as he continued his assault despite his exhaustion.

'What a strong will!' Roy thought, impressed.

Sairaorg's willpower was far greater than Vali's.

Roy had to admit, he admired Sairaorg's spirit.

He smirked.

"Secret Art: Ice Thousand Armed Kannon!"

He would show Sairaorg the respect he deserved by defeating him with his full power.

A Thousand-Meter tall Kannon statue materialized behind Roy.

Although it was the same size as before, its power was far greater now.

The Kannon's countless fists rained down on Sairaorg.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ground shook violently, and dust filled the air.

Sairaorg's Queen and Bishop were forced to retreat.

After a while, Roy dispelled the dust with a wave of his hand.

Sairaorg lay unconscious amidst the rubble.

"Sairaorg Bael has lost consciousness and is eliminated!" the announcer declared.

...

The audience erupted in cheers. It had been an incredible match.

After Sairaorg was teleported away, Roy looked at his Queen and Bishop. "Do you still want to fight?" he asked with a smile.

"N-No, we surrender!" they replied immediately.

Their King had been defeated. They had no chance against Roy.

"The Bael team has surrendered! The winner of this Rating Game is Roy Lucifuge! Let's give him a round of applause!"

The audience roared their approval.

"We won!"

"Roy-sama was so cool!"

"Yes, yes!"

Saeko and Esdeath were calm, but Asia and Aika were overjoyed, discussing plans for a "night raid" on Roy.

"Alright, let's head back," Roy said, returning to the platform and flicking Aika on the forehead for suggesting those "interesting" positions.

"Congratulations, Roy!"

"You won!"

...

He met up with Rias and Sona, who congratulated him.

They returned to the Gremory mansion.

That night, after a celebratory feast, Sona led Roy to the balcony.

The night sky was filled with stars, and the moon illuminated the land below.

"So, it's my turn to face you next, isn't it?" Roy asked with a smile, leaning against the railing and sipping his wine.

"Yes," Sona replied, also leaning against the railing, her expression thoughtful.

"So our agreement still stands?"

"Of course." Sona smiled at him.

She wasn't wearing her glasses tonight.

She looked even more beautiful without them.

"Then get ready to be my bride, Sona," Roy declared, pulling her into an embrace.

Sona blushed, then giggled playfully.

"There's a surprise if you win."

"Oh?" Roy looked at her curiously.

"You'll see," Sona replied with a mysterious smile.

Roy didn't press further.

...

In this Rating Game tournament organized by Sirzechs, almost every Young Devil would face each other in a match.

Roy's opponents, however, almost always forfeited.

So, he spent his time watching Rias and Sona's matches.

Soon, it was his turn to face Sona.

The match was highly anticipated.

"Roy, good luck!"

"Sona, you too!"

"Yes, Sona-kaichou, defeat the Maou!"

"Yeah, take down the Night Demon King!"

Roy was a bit speechless.

Aika and the others were actually cheering for Sona.

The arena was packed, and the audience roared with excitement as Roy and his peerage entered.

This match was a standard team battle.

They were transported to the subspace arena.

It was a group of islands in the ocean.

Roy's team started on a small island, which served as their base.

Sona's team was on another island.

"You guys wait here. I'll go alone," Roy said, planning to let the girls rest.

"Roy, go! Bring Sona-kaichou back!" Asia cheered.

"Don't worry, I will," Roy replied with a smile, patting her head.

He then flew towards Sona's island.

He spotted Serafall along the way.

"Roy-kun, although I've agreed to share Sona-chan with you, if you want her completely, you'll have to defeat me first," Serafall declared, striking a pose with her magical girl outfit and staff.

The audience was in an uproar.

"Oh my! Maou Serafall-sama is participating personally! What's going on?"

"Let's see... It seems Serafall-sama is acting as Sona's Queen!"

The announcer's enthusiastic commentary excited the audience even further.

"Serafall-san, can we negotiate? I'll make more magical girl manga for you if you let me pass. How about that?" Roy offered.

"More magical girl manga?" Serafall's resolve wavered.

"No, Sona-chan told me to stop you. If I don't, she won't talk to me for a month," Serafall said with a sigh.

"Fine." Roy shrugged.

"Then take this!" Serafall shouted, unleashing her magic.

An ice dragon materialized in the sky and lunged towards Roy.

She specialized in ice magic.

'Trying to use ice against me?' Roy thought, amused.

He snapped his fingers.

Snap!

The ice dragon froze mid-air, then turned and attacked Serafall.

"What?!" Serafall was stunned.

She quickly conjured an ice wall to block the dragon's attack.

"What's going on?" she asked, bewildered.

Roy chuckled.

"Because I am the master of ice."

"Now then, I don't have time to play with you."

He appeared before Serafall in a flash and placed his hand on her shoulder.

"Secret Art: Ice Prison!"

Serafall was encased in ice, her head the only part remaining free.

"Please wait here for a bit. I'll release you later," Roy said with a smile, patting her head before leaving.

"Damn it! I can't break free! Roy-kun, let me out!" Serafall shouted, struggling in vain.

But Roy was already gone.

He soon found Tsubaki and the others.

Since Serafall had taken the Queen position, Tsubaki was participating as a Pawn.

"If you want to see Kaichou, you'll have to defeat us first."

"That's right! We won't let you have her so easily!"

"But if Kaichou becomes Roy-senpai's fiancée, will she take us with her?"

"Idiot, why would you say that?!"

...

Roy chuckled, hearing their conversation.

"Excuse me, ladies, but I'll be going ahead now," he announced.

In the next moment, he vanished.

Sona stood alone in a beautiful flower garden.

"Sona!"

Sona turned around and blushed as she saw Roy. "You're here."

"Haha, you know they can't stop me, right? Not even your sister," Roy said with a chuckle.

"So, if I defeat you now, you'll become my fiancée, right?" He stepped closer to Sona.

"Yes, that's right. Or rather, you've already won," Sona replied with a smile.

She wasn't wearing her glasses today.

She looked even more beautiful without them.

"Then, Sona, you're my bride from today onwards!" Roy declared, pulling her into an embrace.

"Yes," Sona mumbled, her face flushed as she leaned against him.

"Sona Sitri and Roy Lucifuge's Rating Game has concluded. The winner is Roy's team," the announcer declared.

The match was over.

Although there hadn't been a fierce battle, the audience was still satisfied. They had witnessed the power of Serafall and the new Maou.

With this match concluded, the Rating Game tournament for the young generation was also nearing its end.

...

Roy held a grand engagement ceremony with Sona in the Maou territory.

The Young Devils who had just participated in the tournament and the audience all attended, making it a lively event.

The ceremony proceeded smoothly, and Roy and Sona exchanged rings under the watchful eyes of Sona's parents, Grayfia, and the Maous.

Just then, a girl in a wedding dress rushed towards them.

"Sona-chan, Roy-kun, I'm here!"

It was Serafall. She leaped into Roy's arms.

Roy was dumbfounded.

This wasn't even the official wedding ceremony yet. Why was Serafall wearing a wedding dress?

"Roy, to prevent you from stealing Sona-chan away, I'll become your bride too!" she declared.

"What?!" The Devils in the hall were shocked.

Her fans were devastated.

But seeing that Sona and her parents weren't surprised, Roy understood.

This must be the surprise Sona had mentioned.

And it was quite a surprise indeed.

Roy exchanged rings with Serafall as well.

Thus, Roy's engagement with Sona and Serafall was officially announced.
