Chapter 5
Harry's residence
Kuoh town, Japan
Harry relaxed slightly once the group crossed the wards into his territory. While he was sure in his own strength to take out almost anything that could attack them, he didn't wish to put the mother of his unborn child in harm's way. With his extremely powerful wards protecting them, he felt much better about the situation and could relax.
Harry watched Rias and her peerage out of the corner of his eye, seeing their impressed looks with the exception of Rias and Akeno, probably because both had seen more grandiose places from the Gremory. Harry, however, didn't believe in wasting money on over-the-top castles and summer homes like other rich people. As long as the house was big enough to house his family and loved ones and they wanted for nothing, he was content.
Harry led the group toward his home, the door being opened by Raynare who had changed from her usual uniform to a more comfortable and form-fitting, yet still elegant violet kimono. Harry recognized it as one he had bought for her two weeks ago soon after he'd beaten Kokabiel for trying to take back Harry's pets and kill them.
"Master!" said Raynare happily, looking visibly relieved that he'd arrived. "The rooms are ready for your guests as promised. Mistress Valerie is curious, however, as to the reason behind your... slip earlier. She's waiting in the living room."
Harry simply grunted. "I'll see her after I drop this boy off in his room. Bring me one of those bracelet things that block Sacred Gears, would you? It looks like this brat can't control his and I won't have him activating it all the time. It would become annoying real fast."
Rias looked surprised at his words and gave him a hopeful look. "You have a way to help Gasper control his Sacred Gear."
Harry nodded. "In a way. The bracelets were originally designed by an associate of mine during his research into Sacred Gears. I managed to get him to give me the designs for them in return for any information on anything I discovered on Sacred Gears. I made a few in case I ever needed to take down a Sacred Gear user without harming them. Some Sacred Gears are so powerful that they activate when the wielder is human and unready and can hurt the user and those around them."
An example was a wielder of a flame Sacred Gear Harry ran into three years back. The poor boy had mistakenly killed both his parents and was burning down his neighborhood when Harry arrived. Not even knocking the boy out had stopped the Sacred Gear for some reason and worse yet, the Sacred Gear had been burning the boy as well. Unable to do anything to help him and needing to save the hundreds of innocents in the area, Harry had been forced to kill him.
It was something that haunted Harry still and it pushed Harry to master his own power, at least to the point where he wouldn't mistakenly do something similar.
Harry followed behind his bodyguard/butler/maid into the home proper. An amused smile crossed his face when he noticed Raynare's hips swinging a bit too much, no doubt to attract his eye to her well-shaped behind. Issei had certainly noticed if the way his eyes were glued to her butt and his drooling slightly was any indication.
Harry couldn't help but roll his eyes at the sight of Issei's obvious lust for his pet. Raynare had supposedly killed him not a little over a month ago and he said he hated her yet here he was drooling over her figure. Looks like even hatred takes a back seat to his lust for her figure. Harry wouldn't be surprised if the pervert cared more about seeing an attractive enemy female naked than he did about defeating her.
'Though,' thought Harry with an inner smile as he eyed his pet's well-curved form. 'It is an incredible figure to drool over.'
Unlike the more unbelievable curves of Rias, her queen Akeno and even Kalawarner, Raynare had a body that was just within believable human limits while still not looking out of place on a supermodel. It was little wonder Issei had been so easily tricked and manipulated. Teenage hormones when faced with a body like hers were bound to lose.
That wasn't even counting on her centuries of experience in manipulating and seducing humans. Harry didn't know all her history but he did know that Issei definitely hadn't been the first to be manipulated by her. It was only the runic array on both his pets' backs that assured Harry that he wasn't being manipulated as well.
That was truly the most dangerous thing about the great powers in the world. It wasn't their power, though that was considerable, but their knowledge and experience that made truly a force to be reckoned with. Even the current Satans, being young compared to the other great powers at only around three hundred years old, were much more knowledgeable and experienced than Harry in every way.
He would have to move forward cautiously from now on. His power would only get him so far and he knew nothing about a lot of the subtle details of the supernatural world. He'd been avoiding getting truly involved until recently and so he only knew the bare basics. Death herself knew very little since she only met most people when they had died and they weren't exactly talkative.
Thankfully, he had an ability that would allow him to learn about devil politics directly from the source.
Harry led the group to the second floor where the rooms were located before turning to the obviously stressed group. It had obviously too much happening within too little time with stuff they believed impossible happening before their very eyes. Harry knew the feeling and knew the best thing he could offer them right now was some time alone to sort it all out individually before they sat down to talk about what they were going to do.
"Okay," said Harry calmly, still holding the unconscious Gasper over his shoulder. "My room is the master bedroom at the end. To the left are Kalawarner and Raynare's rooms respectively and the second to the right is Valerie's. You'll meet Valerie eventually but I imagine you want to rest after a long day so other than those rooms you can take any room you want." Harry turned to Rias who looked like she was one more revelation away from breaking down completely so he spoke in a softer, more comforting tone. "The one directly to the right is the second largest bedroom in the house. I had it reserved for... well, it doesn't matter. You can take it as your own. If you need anything, I'm going to be either in my office at the other end of the hall or in my room next door, okay?"
Rias smiled in thanks before steeling herself and turning to her peerage. "Okay, we'll sleep here tonight everyone. We'll talk about what we'll do tomorrow with Harry, after we've had a good night's sleep."
"Also," said Harry before they could leave to their chosen rooms. "If you want anything to eat, the kitchen is fully stocked and the house-elves are more than willing to serve you anything you want."
From their confused looks, it was obvious none of them knew what a house-elf was but were too tired to ask. Harry watched as they each went to their own rooms, taking note of which one they had chosen. He noticed Akeno had chosen the one on the other side of Valerie's, the closest available one to Rias'.
Harry turned and carried Gasper in to the room next to the short white-haired girl's, Koneko he thinks her name was, and placed him on the bed. Just then Raynare showed up with the bracelet to control Sacred Gears made by none other than her former leader, Azazel.
"Here it is, master," chirped Raynare happily, handing over the bracelet.
"Thank you, pet," said Harry with a smile before turning to the unconscious dhampir and putting it on him. Instantly, Harry could feel the small build-up of energy that showed that his Sacred Gear was constantly active be shut off, showing that it was bound.
To make extra sure, Harry placed a small runic seal on the bracelet in his blood so only he would be able to take it off. The boy would have to learn control at some point since this couldn't be a permanent answer. However, that would be a problem for another day.
Turning around to his pet so they could leave the room, he was surprised when Raynare jumped onto him and fastened her lips to his while grinding herself onto his quickly hardening length.
However, the surprise didn't last long and he quickly returned the kiss before pressing her against the wall, getting a moan from the wanton Fallen Angel. Harry left her lips and started to suckle on her neck, getting a wanton moan from his pet.
"Aren't you bold today, pet?" growled Harry into her left ear while grinding himself against her core.
"Master," gasped Raynare with pure lust in her voice. "I'm a bad girl. Punish me, master. Punish me with your hard cock."
Harry smirked and was just about to carry his pet to his office where he would ravage her when sense returned slightly when he heard Gasper mumble in his sleep. Remembering Gasper reminded Harry of more important matters that needed to be addressed before any fun could be had.
With a reluctant sigh, Harry slowly placed a confused Raynare on her feet. "I'm sorry, pet, but I'll have to punish you another day. Right now, I need you to call your Fallen sister and Valerie to my office for a meeting. We need to discuss our options for the upcoming confrontation with the Satans."
Raynare frowned and looked put out. "You can just kill any of those idiot Satans if they get too uppity so what's the problem?"
"Personal power isn't everything, pet," said Harry cryptically. "There are other kinds of power, some of which I'm severely lacking in at the moment. Now go get them."
Raynare huffed and glared in the direction of the wall closest to Rias' room. "Stupid devils. Not even here for an hour and they're already ruining everything."
"That stupid devil," said Harry dryly with a hint of warning. "Is the mother of my child and I expect you to treat her with respect and protect her in case of danger. Is that understood?"
Raynare looked reluctant but eventually conceded under his withering look. "Yes, master, I promise." Her face took on an ugly look. "I still don't like them though."
"You don't have to, pet," said Harry as he fixed himself up so he looked presentable. "You don't even have to follow any orders she may give you. You just have to protect her for as long as she's pregnant with my child. Afterwards... well, it depends on what both Rias and I agree upon."
Raynare looked away in silence though Harry could practically feel her jealousy. "As you say, master. I'll just go get Mistress Tepes and Kalawarner then and we'll meet you in your office."
Harry nodded absently, too lost in his thoughts to give much though on his pet's jealousy. "Yes, we have a lot to do and very little time to do it."
As Raynare left the room to find the other two girls, Harry just hoped that between the four of them (five including Death), they would be able to find a way to get through the coming storm.
Sitri hospital, Underworld
Three hours later
Doctors and nurses scurried out of the way as the current Lucifer stalked through the halls, his signature Power of Destruction flowing off him in waves and destroying anything stupid enough to get in his way as he made his way toward a specific hospital room. His anger was practically visible as he made his way towards his wife's room. Sirzechs eventually reached the room in question before forcibly calming himself down and entering.
The hospital looked like most hospital rooms did with white walls and white... everything. The only difference was the subtle hints of magic being used here and there in the form of runes placed on certain strategic locations. It was a new innovation created so as to heal more people at a time. The idea was that the runes gave off a "healing aura" that promoted the body's ability to heal itself. The runes ran off a central magic battery that was continuously recharged every day and night so as to never run out.
Of course, its quality was much lower than if someone did it personally and so in more extreme cases, a doctor still needed to heal the patient personally.
According to what the file said, the woman lying asleep on the hospital bed did not need such treatment though she had been considerably banged up when she came in.
Sirzechs ignored the two teenage girls as well as his parents who were looking at him apprehensively in the corner and walked over to his wife's unconscious form and gently caressing her hair. "Explain," barked Sirzechs angrily, not bothering to turn and face the people he addressed. They knew what he wanted.
Sona gulped as she stood beside her Queen before steeling herself to do as she was told. "My Lord, I was not there to see how it began. However, I was there around halfway to the end of the... battle between Lady Grayfia and her attacker. From what I saw and was told by Asia Argento, a member of Rias' peerage who partially healed Grayfia, the attacker was the father of Rias' unborn child."
Sirzechs turned incredulous and angry eyes at the heiress and her Queen. "Are you saying that a mere human did this to Grayfia?! One with the strength to do this to her and yet somehow be completely unknown to all Three Factions?!"
Sona shivered at the feeling of power coming from her Lord. "N-No, my Lord! That is— he said he was the Avatar of Death!"
Instantly the power rolling off Sirzechs dissipated as he a look of shock came to his face. "The Avatar of Death? You mean... the Deathly Hallows have chosen a Master?!"
Without Sirzechs' power suffocating her, Sona regained her composure and nodded hesitantly. "That is what he said, Lord Sirzechs. His exact words were 'I am Death's Avatar and her Hand in this world. I am Ophis' Opposite and Equal. I am and forever will be!'" Sona shivered as she remembered the terror that filled her as she heard those words. "Those were his words exactly, my Lord."
Sona pointedly left out his threat towards the devil race since it was superfluous. It was obvious he would take the threat against his child personally and they knew that if the father ever found out about their actions, he would be angry. They had simply not considered it important because they thought he was just a normal human and therefore, unimportant in the greater scheme of things.
What could a mere human do against them, after all?
But now it turned out that he was no mere human but something else. And not just anyone else but someone with the power to equal Ophis and therefore, more than enough power to back up his threats.
To put it bluntly, they'd screwed the pooch.
Sirzechs seemed to realize this as his face had taken a look of fear before a focused look came to his face. "How sure are you that he is who he claims to be, Sona?"
Sona pointedly looked at the unconscious Grayfia before turning to Sirzechs. "Very, my Lord. He tossed around Lady Grayfia like an Ultimate-class Devil would a normal human. She never had a chance to even defend herself and the entire town was destroyed just from the backlash of his beating on her."
At that, Lord Gremory spoke. "Are you telling me that Kuoh Town is gone?!" Beside him, Venelana Gremory was equally surprised though her surprise and worry came from wondering where her daughter could be if the town was destroyed.
Sona looked visibly uncomfortable while beside her, Tsubaki shifted uneasily. "Well... no, Lord Gremory. The town is still there."
At that, the three conscious adults were confused. "Then why did you say the town was destroyed?"
Sona shifted slightly before speaking. "The town was destroyed... but the man repaired it all with a snap of his fingers."
At that, the three adult devils were stumped. "He repaired the entire town... with a snap of his fingers?" asked Venelana in a strained voice.
"As well as resurrected every person who died in the backlash while erasing their memories of the events," said Sona reluctantly. "His spell didn't just affect us, though. I asked my Queen to do some research to see what kind of covering we would have to do for this event and it turns out that the earthquakes and almost apocalyptic-level natural disasters either never registered or were erased from the memory of everyone in the world." Sona took a deep breath before delivering the bombshell. "He literally rewrote reality with a snap of his fingers... my Lords."
At that, Venelana collapsed into a nearby chair, too shocked to stay standing. Sirzechs and his father were doing little better and looked to be trying to swallow what she reported with much difficulty.
After all, it was one thing to know Ophis and Great Red were much more powerful than anything in the universe but to have a firsthand account of just how far-reaching the power of someone on their level is...
It was extremely humbling for the two proud devils and not in a good way.
"Thank you, Sona," said Lord Gremory kindly, even if he looked slightly faint. "You can go now. Thank you for bringing Grayfia to the hospital. We'll call on you if need to know anything else."
Bowing in acceptance, both Sona and Tsubaki left the room, understanding that the adult devils wished to speak alone. She wondered what they would do but it was out of her hands. She just hoped they wouldn't antagonize the man further.
Sona shivered as she remembered the power of Rias' lover. The ease with which he completely destroyed someone that Sona had previously considered having few stronger than her. The casual confidence with which he walked and the way he declared his power and domination over not only her but any who sought to harm what he considered 'his'.
Oh yes, she really hoped they wouldn't antagonize that man further.
Luckily for Sona, antagonizing Harry further was the last thing on the adults' minds.
"We have to inform the Phenex clan about this development," Lord Gremory said in a resigned tone of voice.
"Father they are not going to react well to this news, Riser Phenex especially. The existence of Death's Avatar, if it is true, completely rewrites the balance of power among the three factions," Sirzechs explained. "Every side will be trying to recruit him for their own purposes, but above all that Rias is carrying his child. That child just became the most important being in existence and from the way he attacked Grayfia just for being the messenger he won't react well to anyone trying to get close to his child with ill intent."
"None of that matters until we deal with the contract between Rias and Riser," Lord Gremory said cutting him off. "Call him here, if we get lucky we might be able to turn this to our advantage."
"Be wary father," Sirzechs cautioned his father. "I never agreed with you selling Rias like cattle to the Phenex clan pureblood or not. Rias is already ready to attack you for your actions and would be unlikely to listen to you, she would probably set her child's father on you instead."
"I understand that son, but while I stand by my original decision to marry Rias to Riser it was the extra clause concerning pregnancy that we added to protect her that tied our hands. Rias getting pregnant meant that the Phenex clan either got control over Rias or because of the devil power infused into the contract he would gain significant influence over our entire family including you and your position as Lucifer," Lord Gremory explained slowly.
He loved his daughter but he believed in the traditional methods of the Devils, it wasn't just about pure blood. The most powerful Devil families were the ones that were older; this was because of two things. The first was the culmination of knowledge the family had gathered over the centuries from magic to gold to sacred gears. The second was that power breaded true in Devils, the older a devil got the more powerful they became and the more powerful the parents the more likely any children would inherit and then build upon that inherited power.
"However if man truly is the Master of Death and he challenges Riser for Rias we might be able to get her out of the contract to the Phenex family and gain a powerful ally in the process. Rias didn't know about the clause in the contract so once we explain it to her she may very well calm down and listen to us. At least to an extent," Lord Gremory said before motioning to his wife. "Venelana please summon Riser Phenex as quickly as you can, I'm sure he in anxious to discover what the situation is with Rias."
Venelana nodded and dashed off while Sirzechs sighed but quickly began clearing the area around Grayfia's room of other people, he didn't want anyone else involved when Riser Phenex arrived. Venelana returned quickly saying that the message had been sent and that meant that Riser was only minutes from arriving, suddenly the room lit up with the glow of the Phenex family crest and an explosion of flames filled the room. The three high class devils didn't even blink an eye with Riser Phenex and his entire peerage filled the medical room.
"Rise Phenex has arrived," The blond haired blue eyed fried chicken said as though speaking in the third person actually made him sound cool. "But Riser Phenex does not see his new toy; could the Gremory clan be thinking of breaking their word to me?"
"I assure you that is not the case Phenex-sama," Lord Gremory said stepping forward. "There was a complication when Grayfia went to retrieve Rias, apparently a man claiming to be the Master of Death who also happens to be the father of the child attacked and injured Grayfia enough to hospitalize her."
Riser raised one eyebrow and his gaze landed on the battered and beaten Grayfia which gave testimony to Lord Gremory's claim. "Riser Phenex believes you, you are a smart man Lord Gremory. However Riser Phenex believes this man, whoever he is, must be lying. If the Hallows had chosen a master surly we would have heard of it before now, what is this man's name who thinks he can take what belongs to Riser Phenex?"
"According to Sona Sitri who witnessed the attack on Grayfia the man's name is Harry Potter," Lord Gremory said.
"Riser Phenex has heard the name before," Riser said stroking his chin. "Tis the name of the human wand waver from Britain, hardly a threat to Riser Phenex. Grayfia must be getting rusty to be beaten by a mere human wizard Sirzechs."
Sirzechs clenched his teeth but did not respond to Riser's barbed comment or his condescending look. Lord Gremory quickly intervened before it could evolve into something more deadly between the Lucifer and the Phenex, "Phenex-sama I think it would be best if we were to go together to retrieve Rias from this Harry Potter. You could deal with the man and we could talk down Rias into coming home, does this sound reasonable to you?"
"It does," Riser said imperiously. "Come I have wasted enough time, I have plans for my lovely Rias once she belongs to me."
With that Lord Gremory, his wife their son along with Riser Phenex and his entire peerage who had remained silent behind their master vanished in a flash of teleportation circles, their destination Kuoh town.
Harry's residence
Kuoh town, Japan
"They're here," Harry said as he felt the teleportation magic just outside his homes wards. Around him in his office sat Raynare, Kalawarner and Valerie while death stood invisible beside him. The sun had risen just over an hour ago which made it about 7 or so in the morning, he had spent most of the night discussing plans with his girls for when Rias' family showed up. Now it looked like they were out of time.
Walking into the living room with his girls following him he was greeted by Rias and her peerage minus Gasper who was still asleep according to the wards. "Harry its Riser," Risa shouted sounding scared. "My parents and brother are out there as well and it feels like they are about to try and bring down the wards."
"Even if they could, which I doubt, I'm going to let them. Make them think they have taken the wards down and then go out to meet them, this gives me the perfect opportunity to deal with all the people who want to hurt our child at once," Harry said with steely conviction.
The tone of his voice must have reassured her because a relieved smile broke across her beautiful face; he was hit once again just how the knowledge of her pregnancy made her the most beautiful woman in the world to him. He could easily hear both her heart beat and the child's in her womb, Rias then walked up to him and hugged him tight which he returned instantly holding her close.
"Thank you Harry, I never dreamed I would have such good fortune," Rias said looking up at him with tears in her eyes. She leaned up and placed a soft kiss on his lips before backing up her hands going to her lower belly in a loving gesture to the life there.
"My mind was decided the moment I heard our child's heartbeat Rias but don't thank me just yet. I have a plan to work this all out and when the time comes I need you to go along with it ok," he asked. Risa just nodded in calm acceptance.
"So long as it protects our child I will do anything," Rias said.
"Good answer," he said and walked to the front door as the wards came down with his girls and Rias's peerage following him. Right outside his home he spotted four people, the red hared man with a beard and the brown haired woman had to be Rias's parents and he had to restrain the urged to put them both on their asses for the way they had bartered away Rias's future.
The red haired man next to them had to be Sirzechs, Rias's older brother and the Devil Lucifer. One of the four Devil leaders which apparently made him a big deal, he was also the husband of that maid woman he had nearly killed so the tightly coiled apprehension and anger he could see in the man's eyes were to be expected. And finally there was the man who was apparently trying to force Rias in a loveless pureblood marriage and abort his child.
White hot fury flared up inside him and he just barely kept his power from being sensed by these people, he needed them to think him he wasn't that big of a threat despite whatever they may have been told. Behind the haughty blood arsehole stood a gaggle of beautiful woman who had to be his peerage, however his eyes locked onto a specific young woman who Rias had told him about when describing Riser and his peerage and he smirked. He would make Raiser pay for thinking he could harm what was his and his alone.
"Such rudeness to come knowing uninvited at this early hour, why one would think the Houses of Gremory and Phenex had no manners," he said aloud in a completely blasé tone of voice and a smile on his lips.
"Have a care cretin, you are in the presence of the immortal Riser Phenex," Riser said in a pompous tone of voice putting one hand over his heart and taking a step forward. "And you have taken what belongs Riser, step aside and you may yet live. Rias Gremory belongs to Riser through contract with the Gremory house."
"Ah you see that's where you're wrong," Harry said still smiling which caused Riser to twitch in shock and confusion that this lower being didn't simply bow out of the way as he should. "Due to the disagreement with her parents and the Gremory clan Rias has decided to abandon the Gremory name and house. Officially that would cost her the status and privilege not mention the power inherent to the Gremory Clan however that also negates any contact Lord Gremory might have intended to commit her to meaning that you have no legal basis for your claim of Rias."
Rias's parents and brother gasped in horror as Riser blanched in shock. Giving up one's house name cut you out of the house completely and only the head of the house could allow that person back into the family, but by doing so any loyalty or oaths to the family were negated at the same time.
"Rias is this true," Lord Gremory said in panic stepping forward with a worried look in his eyes as Venelana held her hands over her mouth with tears in her eyes.
Rias looked shocked as well with eyes wide but Harry looked over his shoulder at her with a serious expression and he nodded slowly. She remembered his words from before and closed her eyes taking a deep breath and nodded. "Yes Father I won't allow my child to be sacrificed for you prestige and pureblood traditions, if I must abandon the Gremory family to do so then I will."
"There you go," Harry said with a delighted tone of voice turning back to look at a shocked Riser and his confused peerage. "You have no business here bird boy so scat, this is private property."
"You can't do this," Riser shouted now angry. He was Riser Phenex and he would not be thwarted by this nobody claiming to be Death's Avatar. He had power, he could sense that, but it was nowhere near this level which only confirmed to him that Sirzechs little maid toy had either gotten sloppy or this child had caught her unawares. "If you do then the Gremory family will be forced to pay for the broken contract in full."
"Not my problem," Harry said bluntly again shocking Riser and the Gremorys. "As far as I am concerned you can fuck them all over and it wouldn't bother me a bit. I don't give a fuck what kind of traditions you devils follow but that family lost any right to Rias when they decided to sell her like a shiny trinket to an overstuffed flaming turkey like yourself. So go ahead and make them pay for breaking their contract to you but it has nothing to do with me or mine."
Shocked silence descended over the empty road as the mix devils and fallen stood processing what had just happened. Riser in particular was fuming but there was really nothing he could really do. If Rias denounced her family name then he couldn't marry her because she would no longer belong to a noble house, even if she didn't want to marry him so long as Lord Gremory forced her to walk down the aisle she would belong to him utterly the moment she said I Do.
Honestly the idea of forcing the Gremory to make concessions to him for breaking the contract was appealing it paled in comparison to the gem that was Rias Gremory, but without a contract or her family name she would be useless and if he just kidnapped her it would reflect badly on the Phenex house. No the only way to get Rias was to tempt this Harry Potter with a deal, "Riser Phenex has a suggestion," he said slowly with a slow smirk forming on his face.
"Oh," Harry said looked slightly interested but inside he was smiling.
"Riser Phenex proposes a challenge, Riser Phenex against Harry Potter one on one. If Riser wins Rias comes with me and fulfills the contract," Riser said.
"And why should I risk my child's life just to fight you," Harry said implying with his words that he thought he could lose in a fight with Riser which made Riser smirk even more.
"Riser will offer this, if Riser wins Riser will allow Rias to give birth to the child with the intent that once the child is born the child will go to Harry Potter with the rule that neither Harry Potter nor the child will ever be allowed to see Rias Gremory again. However should Riser lose Riser will not only void the contract and remove any debt the house of Gremory would own the house of Phenex but Riser will also offer up any three of his evil pieces for Harry Potter to take as his own," Riser said with a confident smirk.
To their credit none of Riser's peerage looked shocked or angry at the offer, they just smirked with total confidence that if Harry to the challenge Riser would have no chance of losing. Harry looked thoughtful tapping a finger on his lip and looking up, turning on one foot he looked back at Rias and everyone around her. Raynare and Kalawarner had carefully neutral expression on their faces but her could see the glee in their eyes and Rias peerage seemed to be keeping straight faces though the boy Issei seemed to be suffering a painful pinch from the ex-nun who was keeping him from giving away the ruse. Rias had a carefully worried expression on her face but she had figured out his plan minutes ago and the minute nod she gave him was all the permission he needed, though he probably would have done it anyway even if she had told him no.
The Gremorys also seemed to have caught on and were keeping silent hoping that things would work out in their favor. Then Harry turned back around to face a smirking Riser with a confidant look in his eyes. "Alright Riser deal."
"Excellent," Riser aid excited. "Would Lord Lucifer be willing to set up a field space for Riser's bout," Riser asked Sirzechs with a raiser eyebrow.
"Yes my father and I should be able to set up a dimensional pocket for you two to fight in," Sirzechs said. With a burst of power suddenly they were all in a close off dimension which was little more than an empty rocky plateau. The Gremorys and Risers peerage retreated behind Riser while Rias her peerage and his two Fallen girls retreated behind him. Harry stared at Riser whose hands were clinched at his sides a look of excitement on his face.
"Prepare yourself mortal, Riser Phenex promises to make this quick and painless," Riser said.
"I would love to see you try," Harry said and he prepared to let his power lose. He was looking forward to wiping the smirk off Riser's face. Without warning Riser moved throwing a hand out with a yell and unleashed a cascading wave of fire, both sides gasped at the sudden surge of power and Harry stood his ground as the fire washed over him.
Riser smirked as the flame caught his target, he knew he had won then and there. Really the poor fool never stood a chance and he put his hands in his pockets and laughed, "The poor fool he never stood a chance against Riser Phenex but at least he died at the hands of Riser, something to be proud of I think."
Suddenly Riser and everyone else froze in place as a deeper darker chuckle suddenly broke the silence from inside the fire. Riser whipped back around and the flames suddenly began to spin in place around an unseen center, slowly like blood the red and gold flames began to turn a void black and purple as they spun faster and faster. Riser took a cautious step backward unable to comprehend what he was seeing when the voice of his opponent suddenly rang out form within the flames.
"Is that all Riser? Well then, My Turn," a black scaly arm of flame suddenly sprang from the cyclone of fire and then another and before Risers eyes the fire suddenly took the form of a giant dragon made of black flame, on the ground walking unharmed from the firestorm Harry walked his eyes a slitted glowing red with fangs exposed and draconian black wings spread wide on his back. In his right hand he held a long curved black and silver scythe and to top it all off he let loose with about 20% of his power. Which made the malignant black aura surrounding his body about 4 times the power of Sirzechs true form, something the man felt and cringed at the thought of such power bring direct at his defenseless wife. Riser was fucked.
Riser also realized quite suddenly that he was well and truly screwed, he thought the boy some mortal human wand waver instead it looked like his claim to being Death's Avatar was quite true. He was trembling quite badly and fear overrode any sense of superiority he had previously had.
"And now," he intoned in his demonic voice which shook the very foundation of the dimensional bubble they were in. In fact the bubble would have already popped if Harry himself hadn't seized control of it from Sirzechs and bolstered its power. "You fall."
With a roar of rushing wind the black fire dragon screeched it's hatred and flew at Riser. Riser let out a not so manly screech of fear and let out another blast of fire at the dragon. The gold and black flames collided in an explosion of heat and power blinding Riser but only for a moment, before he could react Harry was through the flames and right in front of him Scythe held in both hands and cocked back. To those watching the Scythe seemed to blur in a whirling vortex of circles and Riser luckily stated in one piece.
But that was the only lucky break he got as his body erupted in jets of blood from dozens of bone deep cuts. Instantly he felt his regeneration kick in as the wounds erupted in flames and healed in between blinks of an eye. For a moment he thought that maybe he could still win so long as he could regenerate, but the Scythe in Harry's hands suddenly puffed into smoke and from inside his black leather long coat a blue blade flashed.
Both of Riser's arms flew from his shoulders and burned away in flames, but unlike before his arms didn't regenerate in a burst of fire as they normally would. On his arse he looked up at Harry in shock as blood dribbled from the clean cut stumps where his arms used to be. The blue blade dipped in red flicked up to rest under Riser's chin in a clear sign of his defeat.
"Do you yield Riser Phenex of House Phenex," Harry asked the devastated man. Riser looked up at him with terrified eyes as his aura beat into his senses and his red slitted eyes bored into his. Shocked beyond the ability to speak Riser cast his eyes down and gave a single jerky nod all at once the dimensional bubble they were in popped and they all found themselves back outside the house as thought nothing happened.
The moment Harry put the void sword away Riser's arms flashed back into existence thought the man remained on the ground in shock his mind frozen. Harry just scoffed as he put his powers away and returned to looking like a normal human reaching down he reached into Risers shirt pocket and pulled out three chess pieces.
Riser's Peerage was staring in shock at their master sound defeat and flinched as he held of the pieces he had taken. The biggest piece the Queen was obvious and Yubelluna paled as she realized what was going to happen to her. The other two pieces a Bishop and a Rook had a 50/50 chance of being either girl but Harry quickly made it clear who the pieces belonged to. Putting a bit of power into the pieces he seized control over them bending the pieces to his will and summoned their counterparts, Yubelluna along with Xuelan and Riser's own sister Ravel flew across the feet only to end up on their hands and knees before their new master and god.
"Raynare, Kalawarner," he called and both Fallen Angels appeared at his side in an instant. "Take your new sisters inside and keep an eye on them. As for you three," he continued addressing the three girls directly. "You will go with these two and you WILL follow their directions until I can deal with you, I am your master now and if you disobey me I promise you, you will be punished understood?"
With tears in their eyes they nodded and the two Fallen escorted the three Devils into the house and out of sight. Rias and her peerage were still shocked from the entire event as were the Gremorys. Sighing he followed his pets into the house snagging a gaping Rias who was quickly becoming excited and happy as the reality of her freedom started to sink in. "Everyone inside, Gremorys follow me. We have things to discuss and you have many things to answer for."
Rias attached herself to his side pressing her breasts into him as he put an arm around her and palmed her ample ass. Rias giggled and didn't attempt to pull away as he led her inside, her peerage followed and after sparing one last look for the defeated Phenex whose remaining peerage members were pulling back to a magic transport circle before they followed their daughter/sister in the house of the Avatar of Death. If anyone could have read their mind in that moment they would not have been able to fault the Gremory's nervousness at entering the house of a being that could kill them all on a whim. But refusing the order would be even worse so they followed Rias's peerage through the front door and the Wards came back up locking anyone and everyone else out.
AN: Phew that took a while, for anyone who read Angeldoctor's original version you would know that this chapter originally ended in the hospital with the Gremory parents and Sirzechs. Next chapter will have Harry talking to the Gremorys and some development on what will happen next and of course more lemons especially with Rias and Harry's three new pets. Suffice to say the elder pets will want to put the uppity Devil girls in their place if they can. Also some of you might be worried about Harry being too strong and unbeatable, I won't lie not many people can fight Harry but those who can really can. Also as Harry mentioned before not everything can be solved by Harry flattening it, especially with where I am taking this story. Just to let you guys know this will take place in the Marvel cinematic universe to expect to see some SHIELD agents snooping around in the near future.
