"Right." 

Rex replied, and he did as he was told, throwing his Evil Piece into the aura that surrounded Neo, which it sunk into. Right after the piece sank into the aura, it vanished, and Neo stood, completely unharmed.

"And it's done." Sirzechs replied. "You have your newest permanent peerage member, Rex. And despite Neo being more talented in illusions than anything else, she is QUITE capable of fighting. Anyway, do you want to accept Rias temporarily into your peerage?"

"Hmm..." Rex replied, looking at Rias for a moment. Though he acknowledged that his aunt was strong, by the standards of young Devils, she would, if she joined, be one of the weakest members of his peerage.

Hell, even Asia had more power than Rias did, thanks to the training that Akeno, Valian and Palutena had been giving her!

But, if she was willing enough to help, then Rex saw no reason to say no. After all, if someone had the determination, then they could very easily end up doing great things.

Look at Rex himself. After he gained the discipline and determination to train himself as hard as he did for the past two centuries and after a little help from Palutena, with her turning him into a Nephalem and all one of the Top 50 Strongest Beings in the World, and fast approaching the likes of Azazel, Michael, and even Palutena herself.

"You know what? Sure." Rex replied. "Welcome to the team, Rias. What piece would you like to join as?"

"A Bishop." Rias replied, smiling. At the scene between his little sister and his oldest son, Sirzechs smiled, too. Even Grayfia's lips curled upward slightly.

"Well, my business here is concluded." he replied, opening a crimson transportation-circle. "Good luck in the Rating Game, Rex."

"Thanks, Dad." Rex replied, as Sirzechs and Grayfia left the room. Once they were gone, he looked down at Neo, who hadn't spoken at all.

"You don't talk much, do you?"

The pink and brown-haired woman shook her head.

Two days later, in the late-afternoon, Rex and his peerage plus Rias were riding in what seemed like a larger, enclosed ski-lift, towards the floating island of Agreas, that housed upon it one of the largest cities in the Underworld. Sirzechs and Grayfia were also sat with them.

Rex, who had a grey zip-up hoodie on instead of his black leather jacket, as the weather in the Underworld was a little bit cooler than in south-east Greece, was strumming on his acoustic guitar, playing the song 'Wild Horses' by the Rolling Stones, and Sirzechs was sitting on one side of him.

Grayfia was stood next to Sirzechs.

Valian was watching something on her laptop.

Akasha was drinking a carton of blood.

Akeno who was wearing a shrine maiden's outfit, Asia and Kuroka were sitting and looking up at the island and city, which was coming slowly into view.

Rias was leaning against Rex' other side, her arms loosely wrapped around her nephew's chest. She had her head on his shoulder.

Neo was silently eating ice-cream. Neapolitan ice-cream, of course.

"You know that the Bael Clan wanted to host this Rating Game in their territory?" Sirzechs spoke to Rex as he continued strumming.

"Hm?" Rex looked up. "No, I didn't, Dad. You know I don't pay much attention in Devil politics. That's your shtick."

Sirzechs chuckled.

"No, I didn't expect you to." he replied. "But Alistair Agares intervened, and the game ended up being held here, in a neutral territory.

"Well, since it's been announced that me and Seekvaira were engaged not too long ago, I somehow doubt it'll be totally 'neutral'." Rex replied, placing his guitar into a pocket dimension as the lift reached its destination. Sirzechs sighed.

"Me too." he spoke. "Speaking of that, have you and Seekvaira met up at all? Though strict, she is rather nice. She's got some rather weird interests, though."

"So's everyone else." Rex replied, thinking of Serafall. "But no. I actually had our contract severed. By my Pact Magician."

"Medea?" Sirzechs asked, blinking. He paused for a moment, and then spoke again. "Wait, she's really in possession of Rule Breaker?"

"Damn right, she is." Rex replied. "And it's every bit as good as severing magical contracts as the stories say it is."

"I see." Sirzechs replied. "At one point, I would've been the proudest father in the world to see my oldest son engaged to the highest-class young Devil in the Underworld. But now, now that I know you're married to the daughter of the Biblical God himself..."

"Puts things into perspective, doesn't it?" Rex grinned, as the lift came to a stop, outside the Agares Stadium, which looked a lot like the Tokyo Dome.

When everyone stepped out of the lift, reporters immediately came towards them, some using magic-circles to take pictures, while Devils who were dressed like people working in security used their own magic-circles to keep them away from everyone, especially Sirzechs and Grayfia.

"This match is getting a pretty large amount of coverage." Sirzechs spoke to Rex, as everyone entered the stadium. "The Heirs of the Bael and Belial Clans, two great rivals, teaming up against the son of the Great Satan Lucifer."

"I can only imagine the headlines." Rex muttered, as they made their way into the stadium. Once they did, Sirzechs began to walk away.

"Well, Grayfia and I are in the VIP area, as are the relatives of you, Imogen and Sairaorg." he spoke. "See you, Rex."

"Seeya, Dad." Rex replied, watching his father leave. Once he was gone, Rex heard a voice that he didn't really expect to hear.

"Hey, Rex!"

The silver-haired Nephalem turned around, and to his surprise, he saw Yasaka, standing and talking to Palutena and Medea. Kunou was stood next to Yasaka, along with another person who Rex hadn't seen before.

The unknown person was a girl with long black hair that reached down to her knees, and red eyes. She wore a dark, sleeveless mini-dress with a white collar and red tie, and a red belt that had a red side-skirt cover.
