Chapter 16
xXxXxXx
All in all, Lucifer was a very happy Devil, in the short time since his awakening he had achieved quite a lot. He had taken over the Old Satan Faction, and despite the short time he had with them they were already showing great signs of improvement when it came to both their personalities and powers. The army itself was proving to be a disappointment, none of the soldiers had the level of power to even prove a threat to Rias, in fact, by comparison, they made her look like she was her brother. Ddraig's release was also proving to be a divine move, the Heavenly Dragon had recovered a lot of his power, he wasn't at full power yet, but he was well on his way. And with the new faction that he was making he was sure that he would become a key player in the world. Perhaps he would even become a superpower. They still had a long way to go before they were ready to take down Trihexa, but they were doing very well.
He was sitting on the top of one of the many mountains that surrounded the Old Satan Faction territory, watching as everyone trained below him. Usually it would be Ddraig and/or Tiamat that handled the training, but since they were both away, the task was taken on by others. To make the training as effective as possible he chose to train the army from the ground up, dividing that training into two sides, physical training and magical training.
Achilles, Mordred and Astolfo were the best suited to lead the physical training. They did know magic, but they preferred the up close and personal way of fighting, using their magic power to reinforce those skills, enhancing their physical abilities, and when they used magic it was used more as a supplement than anything. For magic, the task fell to Shirou and Helios, who were both massively skilled in the subject, especially Shirou who had been considered a prodigy since he was a child. Valerie wasn't involved in either, instead focusing on her own training that Ddraig had tasked her with, and Lucifer felt intensely proud of the progress she was making. Achilles, Mordred, Astolfo, Shirou and Helios did their own training once they handed out their instructions, but they each stayed close by so they could help or give feedback based on what they saw.
For Grayfia, Shalba, Semiramis, Katerea and Creuserey training needed to be more specific. Each one of them was strong, Grayfia the strongest of them all, and each had their own unique skills that needed individual training based on those skills. For the heirs he recorded what he knew about their families' magic so that they could use those to properly harness the power of their families, as well as sparring with them once a day so he could check their progress and comment on possible ways they could improve. Grayfia had a more laxed approach to her own training, still needing to sort out her own head, but he did spar with the same as the others and spend a lot of time with her to help her with her new situation. Lancelot's training was left in Semiramis' hands, which he was fine with since she knew her servant the best and unlike the others, she never had the same opinions as them, just faked it to hide her real intentions.

When Lucifer had enough of watching the training, he returned to the mansion. He still had an hour before he intended to go to Kyoto to find out what was happening with the meeting. Regardless of the Devils answer, he was sure the Fallen Angels and Angels would meet, and Odin would come for at the bare minimum to find out if him being back was the truth. Still, even if none of those things happened, he would at least get to go to Kyoto and see Yasaka again, who he so wanted to join his harem. To be fair though, who wouldn't. He could tell when he was in Kyoto the first time that she was at least attracted to him as well, although with his power level he did have an advantage since all Youkai looked for power as one of their qualities. Power literally turned them on, and with his power pretty much any female Youkai would want to fuck him, and any male would feel like they wanted to fight him to prove themselves, or run from him, depending on their own level of strength.
He went to check on each of the leaders and Valerie before he went to his room and got a shower, then changed into some fresh clothes that appeared slightly smarter than his usual style but had the same colours. When he was ready to depart, he left his room and went to teleport when he heard footsteps to the side. He turned his head, curious as to who it was, and was pleasantly surprised to see Grayfia there, no longer in her main outfit, but rather dressed in her own casual outfit. She looked a bit younger in her own clothes rather than her maid uniform. She was wearing a black shirt with golden-caramel accents at the edges of the shirt and spread horizontally near the bottom, with two light golden trims going down the shirt; and the shirt split slightly above her stomach, exposing her midriff. Around her neck and shoulders was a long, cyan scarf made from light material that reached her hips. With that she wore blue jeans that had a white outline at the top.
"Is something wrong?" He asked her with concern. She shook her head gently as a small smile graced her lips. She came into his arms reach before she replied.
"No, nothing is wrong. I just thought I would accompany you, as both a Lucifuge, but also because I want to." He smiled at her response, gesturing for her to come closer, which she did, and kissed her forehead softly, bringing a pink dusting to her cheeks for a second. He then put an arm around her and teleported them both.

They appeared at the temple that was the centre of Youkai in Kyoto and the home of Yasaka and her family. The guards there reacted to them immediately, going on the defensive, but relaxed when they saw who it was. "Welcome, Lord Lucifer," the nearest one to them, a male kitsune, bowed as he greeted them "Lady Lucifuge."
"Thank you, can you take us to Lady Yasaka?" Lucifer asked. The kitsune nodded before he led them inside the temple and to Yasaka, who was sitting with her daughter waiting for them by the looks of things. There were other Youkai there as well, and Sun Wukong had shown up, which confused Lucifer a little. Yasaka smiled brightly when he entered, and Kunou smiled as well, although she blushed and lowered her head to hide her face, pushing her face into her mother's chest to keep hidden. And action which brought a chuckle out of Lucifer and an amused smile from her mother and Sun Wukong. Grayfia had assumed a stoic expression, showing as little emotion as possible.
Yasaka invited them to take a seat. Lucifer sat to her right, while Wukong was to her left. Grayfia sat to Lucifer's other side, but he dragged her cushion closer to him so that she was sitting right beside him as he desired. She schooled her expression, but still blushed from the contact. "Good to see you again Lord Lucifer." Wukong and Yasaka both greeted.
"Yeah, you too Princess, Monkey-Boy." Lucifer relaxed into his cushion, sitting on his ass rather than kneeling in the proper Japanese fashion that the others had. No one seemed to mind though. "Have they decided on a time and place?"
Wukong hummed affirmative. "They wanted to have the meeting in the Underworld, but since Yasaka is bound to Kyoto the venue was moved here. Sirzechs of course argued against it, but Azazel and Michael both agreed that this was a better choice."
"Right, and when are they coming here?"
"Two days. Each of the Satans will be coming, and Odin has already been contacted." He explained while smoking from his pipe. "I hear Yu Long has been on a bit of an adventure as well. Him and the Sleeping Dragon had a little tussle from what I hear." He grinned as he watched Lucifer cautiously.
"Oh yeah, wonder why?"
"Hmmm? Think it might have something to do with Tiamat gathering her followers from the familiar Forest?"
"I dunno, depends, are you asking for Indra or yourself?"
"Indra and I have… parted ways for a while." He took a long breath of smoke, before releasing the cloud into the air. "He seems to be working on something else behind the scenes."
"Tsk." Lucifer kissed his teeth. "How irritating." He groaned. "That raises several questions, but I only care about one right now. Where does that leave you?" He asked, cautiously moving the arm that was around Grayfia slightly, not being noticed by anyone other than Grayfia herself, who glanced at the hand quickly before returning to the talk. "If you're not here for Indra, then why are you getting involved with this meeting? Plan on joining Yasaka?" His hand moved to her thigh, then slowly continued between her legs, before he started to caress the spot between her legs. She blushed and her legs moved closer together, tightening around his hand as his fingers moved against her jeans, her face twitching as she tried to remain stoic.
"Heheh, no, nothing like that. I just came to hear what you had to say. I asked around about your, beast of the apocalypse. But I got nothing back, care to explain?"
"Sure, the old man kept everything about him all hush hush, I mean, the Titans probably know about it to be fair, but they got locked away by the three Great Gods of the Greek Pantheon, so unless freed they won't be much help." He spoke as he continued caressing Grayfia. "Freeing the Titans would only make things worse though. If anything, they'd help Rizevim, hoping that by doing so they could get their revenge for being locked away."
"Perhaps not all of them."
"Well sure, but the ones that really matter would. Yasaka?"
"Yes?"
"Do you want to make an official alliance of our own?" He asked, surprising everyone in the room, since they were going to be at the meeting in two days. Which meant she was already going to be included in the alliance that was created there so that they could deal with the beast. She voiced her confusion, so he explained. "I'm talking about our own alliance. As things stand when we create our alliance to defeat Trihexa, there is a clear power imbalance. For one, you and I are both independent. We don't have any predetermined allies within the faction that will side with us when making key decisions. Devils, Angels, Fallen Angels and the Norse Gods vs Kyoto Youkai vs Old Satan Faction."
"So, you want to form our own alliance before this meeting, so we won't be so outnumbered?"
"Exactly." He smiled kindly. He moved his hand away from Grayfia. She felt disappointed at his retraction, although that thought was something she tried to ignore. He didn't however take his hand away for long, but rather retracted it to her back, making small circles on her lower back before descending to grab her butt. "So, you game?"
"What would siding with you get me? And how do I know you'll side with me? If it was protection I wanted, wouldn't siding with them be a better choice?"
"Well, if it's my loyalty you doubt, we can always form a more permanent bond between out factions. I am very protective of things that are mine, devils, including me, are very sinful creatures, which of course includes pride and greed. Forming an alliance and then abandoning you would be an insult to that pride, but also goes against my greed."
"Are you suggesting a marriage?" Yasaka raised one of her perfect brows.
"That I am. Between me and you to be specific." She seemed intrigued, but he chose to continue the third point she had rather than letting her answer him. "And as for your last point. You could side with them, sure, but they don't know nearly as much about the current situation as I do. Even if my forces are weaker and lower in number, destroying the current Underworld and forcing my way back to power would be a simple task."
"How strong are you?" Kunou spoke up for the first time, something she was probably told not to do, but her childish curiosity got the better of her.
"I could demonstrate if you want. To prove the weight of my words."
"Demonstrate? How?" Sun Wukong wondered, his eyes narrowing.
"We go outside, and I'll just let all my aura out, that's all, nothing too bad." He smiled.
xXxXxXx
Grayfia, Wukong, Yasaka, and several other high-ranking Youkai had gathered outside to see the show that was about to unfold. Other than Wukong none of them had ever seen Lucifer before, and they hadn't seen his power either, so they were intrigued for obvious reasons. Kunou was there as well, hiding behind one of her mother's legs. Lucifer stood in the centre of a courtyard, while they were all around the edge of it. 'Since word is probably already out, I don't see why I need to hide that I'm around anymore. Besides, this will help when I approach other factions too.' He thought as he took a deep breath and closed his eyes, relishing the feeling as his power sparked to life.
To the others nothing had changed, however all at once, sixteen white wings emerged from his back, glowing brightly. At the same time His body gained a golden aura of light, which shone incredibly brightly, waves of power flowing from the incredibly dense aura of holy power that far surpassed any other angel in existence. Above his head three halos appeared, the one in the centre lay horizontally, while the other two were at an angle, each the opposite of the other. The one in the middle was crack on one side, and the light that made the aura moved violently like fire, bright flames made from light.
To Grayfia, despite her feelings for him, the aura felt terrifying. To be honest she felt a little irritated when around angels, but no one, not even Michael had the power to make her feel afraid of that holy power. Lucifer's aura however made every demonic fibre in her body want to retreat. To everyone else it just felt like a massive, overwhelming, power, one that pushed a weight onto them. All the male Youkai in the area, the area being basically the entirety of Kyoto, were pushed to the ground, only Wukong was able to stay on his feet, but he still felt his knees weaken. The female Youkai also experienced fear, and were also pushed down by the power, but they also found themselves rushed with a feeling of intense lust. Their cheeks were dyed red and their breaths became laboured as they struggled to control themselves. It felt to all of them as if they had gone into heat, worse than ever before. Even Yasaka felt it, and she could barely handle the feeling of her fluid leaking down her legs as she barely held herself up.
Then his eyes snapped open, locking on Yasaka's as his eyes glowed with power, becoming a bright blue colour. The glow was so intense that it looked as if fire was leaking from them. As they did six pairs, twelves, devil wings burst from his back, adding to his angel ones. An aura of blue and black power swirling around him, while the golden one remained. The waves of power that were washing off him sped up. The already cracked ground splintered, chunks of rocks at all sizes rising in the air before turning to dust. Black shapes appeared in his body, filling the spaces in which one would wear armour, and then the black cracked and fell away, revealing the black and gold armour beneath, with small red details. (A/N: Granblue Fantasy Lucifer)
'Huh, I think I might actually be a bit stronger than before.' Lucifer thought as he felt his power, enjoying the feel of it coursing through him. He had been fine without it, but now he couldn't understand how he had been, it was a part of him, like the blood in his veins.
He allowed his eyes to examined Yasaka, smiling when he saw the intense blush on her cheeks, the drool barely held in her mouth, while her legs and whole body shook. With his enhanced senses he could smell her arousal and he knew that the leaking from before had intensified. In fact, a few seconds later she broke, like all the others already had, and a pool was formed as she fell on her knees. Climaxing violently.
Looking to Grayfia a few seconds later, he noted that she wasn't in the same state, but she did look very turned on. 'Wonder what she would look like if she was a Youkai.' He wondered. He pulled his power back in, his wings going back into him. He rolled his shoulders and stretched out. His power was being suppressed yes, but he was no longer hiding as he was before. It was easily felt, and if someone tried to look deeper, they would start to experience the same as if he was allowing it to flow out of him freely like it had been before.
"So, what'd you think?" He grinned wickedly.
