Devourer of the Nine Worlds

by luka ririnki

Just one of the strongest players in YGGDRASIL enjoys his favorite game to the last second of the game. Until for unknown reason he gets transported to a whole new foreign but familiar world. (OCxHarem, there also a lot of OC harem from the NPC to the Goddesses)

5. Chapter 5

I'm getting bored with writing this, maybe the next chapter will be canon, and it gradually will be completely the same as World Eater, I legit don't know what I should write during canon time.

I wanna die... sorry, not really. I just don't want to work

- Spain, 17 August 1007 -

- ? -

"So… how long are you planning to following me?"

So he already noticed my presence… of course he will, someone on his caliber sensing one's presence is like child play. And spying was never my strongest point.

With firefly-like light, I appear before him with my psychical form.

"Hey… it's been a while since I see you, I guess… Gabriel," he greeted me with an almost unnoticed scowl, is it because of the grudge of Excalibur, or is it because I disturb his walk… I don't know, maybe both.

"Indeed it is, Arah," I don't know why, but the fact he found me unpleasant sent a chill and disappointment to my soul… it almost felt like when father scolds me.

"I already know what you want to ask, but let me ask… what do you need from me, sorry but I'm in hurry, it's just a matter of time before my servant found my location," he walked to the side of the road, and took a seat in the grassy land.

"Is it Maria?"

Maria Golgotha, the highest angel in Babylon, and one of the most welcoming being in his home, even to the outsider.

"Well, Maria and the other," he picks some pebble and playing with it.

"How is she doing?"

"Good."

"That's a relief, so how—"

"Quit hitting the smoke, Gabriel… I already said it, didn't I?" he threw the pebble above to the sky in one straight vertical line.

With a glare that reduces all words from my throats.

"I… I'm sorry."

I can't see his face with my face looking down li this, but I hear a sigh coming from him.

"No, it's not your fault… sorry, but I'm in a little cloudy mood, at the moment, it's not right for me to let it out all on you."

…

"Lift your head already, how long are you planning on doing that," like his words, I bring my head up and see him massage the area between his eyes, when he satisfied doing that, he looks at me with softer eyes

"Let me answer what you want to know… your father is still alive, don't worry… Nah, that's not how I should spell it… when the moment comes he will back alive again, is that enough for you."

I'm happy, because he seems not changing from the last I've seen him, and for the news, I just heard

It's still beyond my expectation. The feeling I have right now at this moment can't be described with mere words.

"I mean, both of us knew of smart he was. Did you really think he will do something like this… "I'm about to seal one of the existence that almost equal with Arah, of course, I will not prepare anything in case situation gone to the south," no way right? That old man is one of the smartest being in this world. I'm sure he will prepare something to counter anything… even his own demise. Hell, even I will prepare something in case I will fight Trihexa, I mean if I was 10, that thing would be 9.6… no, 9.7. I'm sure you understand of how dangerous that thing is, by now."

He picked a random grass, bite it, and keeps it to his mouth, he talked all of this like it just a weather topic for him… wait, Trihexa is weaker than him?

"On top of that, he was the one who created some weapons that capable of destroying this world, tons of sacred gears, an uncountable number of angels including you and your siblings, last but not least the seven heavens, it's will be so ridiculous if he can't revive himself with something… I will laugh until I die."

He stands up and patting his cloth from the dust.

"More like I was wondering why he so adamant to seal Trihexa… I already told him I can kill it, but he said the fight between us will destroy this world in the process, and I don't want that," turn to face me, he trailing.

"Is that satisfied you? By the way, I will not tell you when your father will come back, and you are not allowed to tell this to your siblings, remember that," he makes a serious face that he rarely shows.

"Anyway, cha… I will continue my stroll, take care of yourself," without waiting for my answer, he takes his step.

"Please wait," I called him before he got too far.

"What do you want," with a different kind of annoyed tone he responded. Right now, it's clear because I disturb his hobby.

"Can I accompany you even only for a while," after learning the news my happiness still soaring above the sky, I should go back to heaven and work my duty more diligently until the day comes.

But, I'm sure father won't mind if I take one day's vacation, right? Besides, whenever I'm with this man, he always radiates an aura that fills me with a sense of security, almost like a father but still somehow different.

Like the day she saved me.

"Suit yourself, but don't complain about how boring it is later, because I promise you, I'm just walking around aimlessly," he claimed without facing me.

"I don't mind," I take place beside him, and walk on this peaceful path in the middle of nowhere.

"Ah… here, wear that to disguise your appearance and presence," he threw something to me, which perfectly fall gently in my palm, a ring.

Sister Zafkiel won't be happy if I told her about this.

- Ireland, 16 April, 444 –

- Arah -

Thanks to the Scathach, Morrigan, and the other, I know this is world is not exactly not the same Earth that I know. The geography, climate, and the history, for the first two it are practically still the same, but for the history or lore there something different than the history in my original world.

But before that let's review some info that the Celtics provide me, ahem, about the dragons of this world, other than their… our small number of population… yep, the dragon in this world is so rare, we can even be considered as a protected species. But even with that, the dragon in this world rarely has a good relation to each other, or even to another faction. Whenever two or more dragon meets the result of their tearful meeting will always end up with blood bath.

Honestly, our number is already small, we should try to get along more with each other and cultivate our number to save our race from extinction.

Actually, they can kill each other until they all die for all I care.

Arah Auntry Dragonika, the last dragon, quite a nice sound to add to my epithets.

Talking about dragons, there five groups in this world that most significant and powerful than the normal dragons; Evil Dragons, The Dragon Kings, The Heavenly Dragons, Dragon God, and the last and most powerful of all dragon, True Dragon

But just because they are in the same group doesn't mean they actually get along or having close relation, they simply in the same category because… "I….. don't….. know… ufufufufu…" dammit Morrigan.

Ahem, attention, please. History class with professor Arah starts now, wait, can I call it history? Mythology class…. anyway please pay attention.

The evil dragon, just like the name, this group basically consisted of the evil dragons, Azi Dahaka, Niddhog, Apophis, Crom Cruach, Grendel, Ladon, and more evil dragons in legend. Yes, as you notice there, something seems out of place in here, I will wait until you notice… yes, you're right, in my real (our) world Crom and Grendel is not a dragon, Crom is a deity of Ireland pre-Christian and Grendel is a giant beast-like creature in Beowulf story, and yet in this world, they are a dragon.

Crom was a former Balor's soldier, and currently, he is in MIA after the Second Battle of Magh Tuireadh between Fomorians and Tuatha de Dannan ended.

I'm surprised Typhon is not a dragon and not included in this category. According to Morrigan's info, they are strong but still weaker than Lugh, I presume they are around level 80 to 95.

Next, we have the dragon kings, Tiamat, Yu-Long, Midgardsormr or Jormungandr, Vritra, Tanin, and Fafnir. I'm sure you already know what is wrong here… yes! Tiamat! The strongest dragon in this group and the sole female member, what is she doing here, like seriously when I heard she was in this group, I thought Mesopotamian mythology didn't exist in this world, but apparently, they still exist but for some unknown reason, Tiamat was not part of this faction. How come tho? Tiamat is like Ymir of the Norse for the Mesopotamian legend, she was the primordial being and slew by Marduk then he made heaven and earth with her body, yeah exactly like how Odin made Midgard with Ymir's corpse.

Well, it doesn't really matter why she not part of Mesopotamian, Morrigan said they probably went extinct anyway, and the cause is unknown, the possible answer is probably they were massacred by one of the individuals in the last category of this corner.

And then we have Jormungandr of this world, what I shame, you don't know how disappointed I am when I learned that this world Serpent of Midgard is only 500 meters. Are you telling me the Midgard in this world is only 500 meters. Hah! What a poor miserable human who has to live on such a tiny deserted island. He will look like a worm compares to Svafnir's creation.

In YGGDRASIL, Jormugandr is the biggest boss in the game excluding the group of World Enemy. It's so big that we can only attack its head due to its enormous body hidden under the sea and extremely hard scale-covered its whole body, and to make the situation worse its poison is just made the quest more difficult. That's why we only can attack its soft spot such as the eyes, nose, and inside the mouth. I remember it took us World Searcher more than one hour to subjugate this monster.

Of course, the reward we receive from defeated this monster was equal with the effort we put in to defeat the monster, large amount of gold, the scale for armor and weapon, its poison, last but not the least the corpse, it's useful as a base to make an NPC, which one of my friends did.

Lulii Sadecim, the Serpent of Midgard, Svafnir's creation, and the biggest entity of World Searcher prior to I became the World Enemy.

Speaking about NPC, I wonder what will happen if they also stranded in this world along with me, I mean there the possibility, right? Will they become alive and has their own will or still being the NPC like in the game that moves on setting or order, it will be so cool if they become alive and can take action of their own will. I want to see my daughters talking and feel how beautiful they are in flesh… that is a weird phrase.

NEXT!

The Heavenly Dragons, Ddraigh and Albion, the Welsh Dragon and Vanishing Dragon, here question… who the fuck is Albion… this name is not a name of a dragon in my real world. Albion is another name for Great Britain, but for some unknown reason Albion is a dragon in this world and the arch-enemy of the Draigh the red emperor, and both of them have overly broken abilities, like wtf dude, these two bastards have power to boots and divide everything, yeah everything, be it power, magic, and even existence. This is some hax bullshit if you ask me. I really want these two abilities in addition to my collection.

Last is the Dragon God and the True Dragon, Ophis and Great Red, kind of stupid name if you were curious about my impression. The World Enemy version of this world, enough said. The only transcendent beings that can easily wipe out a whole faction from the trace of history in under a minute and the ones I must most wary of out of all important figures in this world.

These two are the embodiment of infinity and dream, the beings that born from the nothingness in dimension gap, the most dangerous place in this world. I better be careful unless I want them to notice me, even though I have feelings that might be too late for saying that.

One of them probably is the reason behind the sudden disappearance of Mesopotamians and has erased the history from anyone's mind.

But still dimension gap… what an interesting place, I really want to know if this place is connected to my [Dimension Gap], the skill that I accrued from being one of the World Champion, one of the strongest defensive method in-game. I want to try it, but honestly, it's terrifying, what if when I open the portal then two freaking last bosses standing before me and decide to annihilate me because I trespassing their home without consent, it will be fucking funny if that happens.

First, come first, let see how actually strong they are before visit the dimension gap, who knows if they actually cool fellow and we can talk face to face.

Another distinction between this world and my former world YGGDRASIL is, the healing magic in this world is practiced in a really difficult method to perform and in a troublesomely limited number.

Their reaction was so unreal funny to behold when I showed them the [Heal] and [Resurrection] spell from YGGDRASIL, it still brings snicker to my lips and stomach, that time Morrigan and Brigid literally teleporting to grab my head and told me to teach them about Tier magic when they saw it, Morrigan even forgot to use her vernacular.

Talking about teleportation, YGGDRASIL once again prevails superior compare to this world, the teleportation magic in this world is really inconvenient in my opinion because you need to use the sigil or magic circle in to do so. So basically you can't take your enemy by surprise since the glow of the magic circle is so bright and no one with proper eyes will miss it, meanwhile, in YGGDRASIL you can teleport to anywhere no matter how far it is by using [Gate] or [Greater Teleportation], it's so easy and convenient you can even assassinate your enemy if you happen to find yourself in a lucky situation, despite having no assassin related Job class.

Let's go back to the previous topic.

Well it's a game after all, so our death is not that meaningful or worthy of concern, as long we die by the hand of a monster or mob, not get PKd by other players. In-game if our death caused by a monster or other non-player, the only thing we lose is just some amount gold and few items, but if a player gets killed by another player, the killer can steal the Job Class from the avatar they killed, a bunch of fuckers who find pleasure by killing other players, scum. Group of a piece of garbage who has a twisted sense of happiness by insulting and trampling upon the other players' effort, has they no sympathy as a fellow player?

…

Emotion got the better of me, again. I need to control myself better from now on. This dragon's ego has been taken a toll on me lately.

But when I think about it, it all makes sense, huh? This is the real world, not some fantasy or virtual place where I can respawn in random save point after I died.

A wise man once said, "people die if they are killed".

I've always thought how stupid that quote is, like what the fuck man, of course, people die if they are killed, but for my current bizarre situation that line explains everything, so just because I'm once right doesn't mean I am always correct.

What a wise man, his lecture has been a give to me.

Anyway, death is a really dangerous thing in here, if I die, I died.

"Hey, I can see the sea, it's faster than I expected," Merlin's voice distracts me from my really important thought.

"Well, we indeed take a teleport after all. Of course, it would a lot faster than before," I still lift my head up from the book.

"If we flying now-"

"We will arrive at the other side of the sea by the sunset."

"Hmm?"

He appears beside me when he realized how flat my response is.

"What are you writing?"

"A journal of our journey."

"Lugh 96, Morrigan 90… what is this?"

"It shows how strong they are by my world's standard."

"Then what is your point?"

"500."

I replied to him with a flat and straight answer.

"Seriously?" of course you will not believe me, to be honest… I do not even believe myself.

"Then… uhh… how strong I am?"

Why are you being so embarrassed like that.

" Around 9 or 10… probably," wait, right now with Dagda's blessing he becomes even stronger now.

"Hmm, okay," I'm surprised he's not shocked by this.

"Does that mean lady Morrigan is nine times stronger than me?"

"That's not how it works. She is a thousand times stronger than you. The stronger you are the harder to attain the higher level," I close the writing after finished the last word.

"The effort you need to put to attain level 90 from level 89 is a hundred times bigger and more tiring than the effort of level 8 to level 9."

The difference between level 99 and level 100 is not only one level but also more than one million EXP.

"Hoo."

I stand up and decide to sit on the rider seat.

"Why are you wrote that, though?"

he followed me and took his seat.

"We will meet a lot of people from now on, of course, there's a moment where I will forget one or two things, when that happens this book will be a great help, besides it's kind of cool right? With this, after finish exploring this world I can make a list of the top or best individuals in this world… something like "top ten strongest beings" or "top ten of sexiest women" in the world, like that."

I replied with an annoying tone and grin that even I can't of what u just said.

"The first one is cool, but the second one is just plain disgusting."

Did this brat just become even harsher than before?

"Ugh, that was harsh. It's not disgusting, I'm sure a lot of people want to know the exact ranking of who is the sexiest woman in this world, besides I'm sure whoever it is, she will be proud if she knows she is the number one in term of attractiveness."

I answer as I watched the sky slowly become orange.

"I wonder if that how it works."

"Of course it is."

- Time-skip brought to you by Arah give magic to another 40% of the human population for not meaningful motive yet again –

- In the land that will know as Ukraine in the far future -

"I'm sure you told me that I'm supposed to be doing magic training, so why do I have to meditate?"

Right now, we decided to take a break from our journey and made the camping near a river. A barrier spreading around us, to hide and protect us.

I prepare the dinner with the fish we just caught as the main menu, while Merlin in the middle mediation.

"Magic school with Professor Arah, lesson number one," I throw the knife and summon one of the items from my inventory.

"What is that?"

Merlin asked when he spotted yet another modern thing I just summoned.

"Glasses," he looks like he wants to know what actually this is, but decides to accept it as it is.

This item can also spot a trap and invisible magic, but right now, I just used it for the mood.

"There's always a start for everything, and this mediation is the important beginning in your way to becoming an excellent wizard," I pick a random twig and standing beside the largest tree in here.

"Magic power is necessary to put magic into operation. Also, you have to materialize the magic power that's inside of you and release it."

I put a little magic to the tip twig and carved a particle-like drawing in the tree body.

"To wizards, magic power is the equivalent of life force, and this so-called magic power in my world named as Mana, this invisible particle are the building blocks of all magic."

Then I draw a human-like doodle with the trademark witch hat and connect the two drawings with an arrow.

"Mana?"

When he looked like this, I remember he is still a child… a child that eager to learn anything.

"Yes, Mana," I repeat.

"They are everywhere, in the air, earth, or water, and with some special method and process you can permanently put them in everything be it a weapon or any other ordinary daily tools, your staff and robe for example."

I point his robe and staff with the twig.

"And you can absorb them into your body, Mana that are thus absorbed become your magic power. Meditation is the most effective means of Mana absorption."

I draw yet another doodle from my previous arts.

"Sir, I have a question," he lifts his hand up in a straight line.

"Yes! Student no.01, Merlin-kun."

"I understand that Mana is the source of magic power, so is it the more you take in, the stronger the magic you can use?"

Smart question, as expected from my student.

"With magic, for the beginning, the vessel determines the limit of each wizard's magic power, so the amount you can take in is varied. It's all go back to the innate talent, but don't worry, through hard work you can increase your Mana point stats," what I'm just talking about.

"Mana point stats?"

Sorry, but I don't even know what that is.

"To put it simply, the stronger you become the amount of Mana you can take will increase as well. but even if the Mana in one's body is gone after being used extensively, the body will automatically absorb the Mana from the air or the earth and after quite a while, the vessel will be full again and with a certain potion you can skip this regeneration process."

I'm talking about the gold potion, the resurrection potion.

"Potion? Isn't that a drink that lady Morrigan curious about?"

Oh right, along with healing and resurrection magic, the potion is an exclusive item in this world, to make one bottle worth potion you need to go through various complex steps before you can reap the fruit, when the Celtics watched me how easy it to make a potion by YGGDARSIL's method and the result far extend their expectation, after that, just say they willing to do anything as long they can get the knowledge to make the potions of my former world.

Kind of tempting, huh? And to be honest, I don't mind sharing my knowledge with them, but the problem is the material, I need to become a farmer first and planting the herbs that I need to make a high-quality potion, like red or gold potion, not the cheap one that I created before.

Not like I can make a gold potion. Even in-game, there are only eight players that able to create a gold potion, and our very Angelica Bibilicia is one of them, the strongest healer in World Searcher… is strongest the correct word to describe a healer?

Back to the current topic.

Too much pain and trouble, I'm still want to enjoy myself and have an easy life in this world instead of working, so regrettably I had to refuse the offer.

With my normal Job classes there's no way I can make any potion, but yet another blessing from World Enemy, I must have pick Job class with potion creation related or teacher like job, thank you World Enemy, due to your help I can make any kind of potion I desire.

"Yeah, you are very correct," let's end this before I regret it.

"But there's one more important thing."

"Important thing?"

"To use magic, it takes more than just transforming the magic power within your body. There's something else that indispensable, that ii."

I put my hand on my chest, where my heart is located.

"The strength of a wizard's feelings."

"Strength of feelings?"

"Yes. Unless you have strong feelings in your heart and draw upon them, it won't be easy to employ any magic. I know it sounds like nonsense and you are right I said this statement without any basis, but just believe it, it doesn't matter if your motive is bad or right, anyone who has strong feelings in their heart, then that emotion will give you power, but remember this, emotion can grant you power, but never let them control you because no matter what, one who keeps their head cool will get the last laugh."

…

Fuck, I don't know where I'm going with this bullshit anymore.

I'm just making all this crap up, strength of feeling? Eww, get that shit away from me, I don't want any power of friendship in my story.

Acting like a teacher made me drunk in my own knowledge, honestly how can all this shit came out of my mouth, I don't even understand half of the craps that I just said.

Shit, it must be the fault of Sage's job class.

"I understand," no, you don't because I don't even know what am I talking about, but thank you for fell to it.

His face, seeing his face like this makes me don't care anymore about this, he looks like he is having fun right now. Having someone looking up to you like this, it feels nice.

Anyway.

"After you finish meditating for around one or two ho—" presence? There's no proof, and it's entirely possible that there actually no one around me, however… my instinct telling me, definitely someone is watching right now, and in such close distance, right now I have no one to talk to other than this child, that's why I will trust my instinct.

"Merlin come here," he looks confused by this, but still following my words.

"Stay close to me," I put my head on his hair, and send a smile to him.

"Is someone there?" I called out into the calm of the evening sky

"If you just want to talk I will welcome you with an open arm, but if you have other reason to come here, I will burn everything in a radius of 10 kilometers, along with you."

Now I just need to wait if my instinct were correct.

"Is someone really near here," Merlin show me a worried face but without a doubt, he feels safe with my presence.

"It's will be fine. Just stay close to me," I rub his hair to reassure him.

Just when I decided to execute my plan to burn this forest, three figures with the same theme clothes appearing out of thin air, one old-looking man with a long beard, two your average extraordinary beauties female of this world… if it was me from a few days ago, before my visit to Celtic faction… I will waste a lot of time just to extract their appeal and grace, but right now, after spending time with those extremely beautiful goddesses, I already immune to this world out of chart appearance.

Who cares about that.

The biggest question in my head right now is… how the fuck they enter my barrier even without I noticing it… there is no problem with the barrier, and it still completely intact, then how these three are here standing just a few feet away from me.

That old man must be an expert with his magic… probably even stronger than Morrigan. Who exactly is he?

"Whoa, whoa, wait for a second, o vagrant dragon. The beginning is fundamental in every relationship. So I just have one thing to say first."

He threw one of his hands up in a peaceful and almost annoying manner.

He is tall, lightly clean skin with chin-length, wavy, white hair, and has most of his hair brushed to the right side of his face aside from a few strands. He wears priest-like attire, long white robe with… wait, I have seen this man before, yeah there's no way I'm mistaking it.

It can't be.

No way, right?

"Let me introduce myself. If you want to want to address me, then, just call me Mister Yahweh," he points himself with the thumb finger and wink in a playful vibe.

I knew it. This dude is the sole god of Biblical religion… what the fuck.

"The two women behind me is my creation, my daughter you might say, the blonde is Gabriel and the dark-haired one with mismatched eyes is Zafkiel," he introduced them as he points one by one.

Look at them again, yeah, as always the supernatural woman of this world never ceases to amaze me with how beautiful they are.

The wavy blonde is giving me aura soft pure woman that needed to be protected, and that body… woman, that is a sin, it should be illegal to look that innocent with that body.

While the other one is weird, to say the least, she is a girl with astonishing beauty, to described with simplest words. An elegant way of standing and walking, and ivory skin, black obsidian hair color, and a pair of heterochromia eyes, ruby red for the right eye and deep golden for the left. Her height is rather short compared to her two companions. Probably not even reach 160cm.

Aren't that cool, heterochromia is cool, right? Honestly speaking, anime characters with miss-matched eye colors' is always awesome to look at.

I wonder why I did not add that characteristic to my avatar.

"Pleasure to become your uninvited guest," no… I take back what I just said, please go home, rather, I don't even have room to welcome you all… that's why please go home.

Stop smiling at me.

Why did he find me so easily?

…

Well, well, well… if it isn't the consequences of my own actions.

- Somewhere far in the future -

- ? -

"I'm bored~~ let's talk about something interesting," the white haired-man who rested his head on my lap whining playfully, what is he saying after suddenly comes to Underworld without any notice.

It is just one of his average strolls, which is his favorite hobby.

"Is my lap pillow made you bored, My Lord?" despite what I saying, I keep gently stroke his smooth long white mane.

"You know that's not what I mean," humming a familiar melody for split second, he trails off.

"Fia~ can you do something funny?"

"Could you name one?" I still keep my formal tone.

"How about you undress to your undergarment and do the jumping jacks while singing Christmas song," that some preposterous idea he able to produce in a short time.

"Understood," of course it just a joke, there is no way I will do it.

I stop my hand from stroking his hair and prepare to stand up.

"Wait! That was a joke," he turns his head and looks up at me.

I'm aware of that. Now I just need to play dumb, turn my head away.

"Grayfia," a flat tone, he must notice my smirk.

"Ah, it looks like I was caught," I allow a little chuckle to let out from my mouth.

Look below to my thighs I can see his flawless fine face that can hold anyone hearth, even the goddess of love in one sweep, the eye-catching earrings on both his ears, on one side of his right ear are the large golden sun-shaped earing and hanging from his left ear is a pure silver crescent moon-shaped earring, given the earrings own history and origin, the fact that the accessories shone with unmatched brilliance is not a thought that needs to fuss about. What draws eye the most is the captivating mismatched colored eyes staring back into me, his right eye is still his usual piercing flaring red blood eyes with a slit pupil, but the left eye, in one of the moments in the past, out of boredom he created Longinus tier Sacred Gea- oh, my mistake. They call it Divine Item in Babylon, the eternally white lustrous silver iris luminous even to that of a most noble diamond, and that is his new left eye. The keeps shining eyes with unsatisfied refulgence, not even the midnight moon can match its beauty.

He really does have a pair of gorgeous, arresting, and mesmerizing eyes, as the last touch, his long eyelashes just added another sense of charming elegance. They are truly pretty yet strong and remarkable eyes that I had ever seen. Eyes that have the entire sky and earth enslaved, imprisoned in them. Once combined with him they emit more attractiveness than ferocity.

His eyes had changed from what he previously has of thousand years ago, of course, it is just in visual, there's no difference for the warmness, kindness and the genuine feeling of his eyes, no, I can't call him that, apparently for unknown reason he doesn't want the others to call him "kind". He hides no lies nor deceit, always so straight and true.

Is it because he despises lies, is it because he sees no merit in falsehood, or is it because he unable to bring himself to lying? I'm not sure, but I'm positive the first one is the most prominent answer.

Although he has a new eye doesn't mean his previous eye is damaged or anything, he simply created a new one and changed it out of boredom.

Thinking the motive behind his action is simply a waste of time, anything he did or does is simply because he wants, he can, why not, sound interesting, out of boredom, or it's just happened.

A man who is more proud and conceited more than anyone in this world, he lives guided purely by only his pleasure and displeasure, a man who enjoys obstacles and struggle more than anyone in this world.

The more disadvantaged situation he found in, it just means more fun playground for him to play with, for he who always believes he is the strongest, for he who always get what he wants, and for he who always think he is the winner, the innate vanity of a dragon.

This man is a deeply arrogant and egoistic man whose entire body and posture ooze out pure frivolous confidence and untamed hubris out of his skin, and yet he deeply caring for anyone who followed and put their faith in him.

Just like his last name implies.

He fights, therefore he wins, such are he is the strongest.

It is as simple as that.

No one in this world should be able to reach their fang to him, with his massive number of overprotective servants and undoubtedly loyal subjects he had gained, he does not need to dirty his own hands to dispose of anyone he desired. And yet he when the threat is strong or excited him, he prefers to fight alone despite his servant's disapproval, because that is just one of the things with which sing for pleasant him, he just wants to enjoy the thrill.

But still.

The scenario of him losing a fight has never occurred in his mind, and I just happen and everyone else believed that moment would never come, too. It is not exaggerated if in any case of him actually losing a fight, that just means an end for this world in one sense, for he who loves this world more than anyone has a lot of connection to this world more than anyone can think, just the world, he could care less about they who lives in it.

What I… no, our biggest fear is… he most likely will let himself get defeated just for his own amusement.

Dragon is overly arrogant and egoistic beings, that is a fact that every beings knew since a long time ago. Even among the supernatural world, the ego of the Dragons will easily outwit even to the most highest Gods', and this man is no different, out of all the dragons in this world he was a hedonist of the highest order.

In most if not every situation there is no way he will let any kind of sense of inferiority or humiliation get near him, but if it proved by losing a fight can provide him some entertainment… then… I'm sure he will… but that is not a problem either, since I'm sure he must be already prepared a countermeasure for that prospect, I hope.

"But are sure you can lazy around in here, what about your work?" I still keep my hand in his hair, I don't want to think of that horrible prospect and I don't that to happen either.

"You getting more resemble to the Zodiac. No need to worry about paperwork, I just need to stop time or clone myself before the deadline," please don't stop time or created clones of yourself just for some petty paperwork.

"That was a compliment for me."

The Zodiac, an exclusive group of battle maid with unsurpassed beauty, specifically only available for the "almighty beings", not even the command from the Commander overseer, Mori Calliope, can make them move, the beings that only listen and loyal to the point of obsessive solely for the "almighty beings", i.e. the Zodiac.

When I think about it, aren't all of the residents in Babylon is obsessive with this man, but the Zodiac simply take it to another level.

"When you're a king, a leader of four countries… wait is it five, well doesn't matter. Teacher in Magic School and Clock Tower, and et cetera, et cetera you will understand my feeling, Grayfia. Sometimes I just want to be alone and relax, you know?"

"I don't think I can imagine myself in such a position, beside you are not alone at the moment, My Lord. I'm and some of the homunculus maids are present, as well," the only resident in this mansion other than me is the homunculus maids from Babylon, it's not the first time for him to suddenly show up in Underworld like this, if I hired devil from the outside, there will be possibilities words of the youngest dragon gods often come here will get leaked.

If possible I want to stay in Babylon just like Tiamat. Aside from their activities as lovers, nearly all lovers had one or more roles outside Babylon, they are still goddesses and still have to keep to do their duty, after all, Tiamat and "her" being the only exception. Even for a recluse clan like mine, I still need to show my face from time to time as the head of the Lucifuge clan, if I'm not doing that, the higher-ups from both current and the Old Satan Faction will get suspicious of me, rather I'm sure some of them already notice it.

"That just metaphor, though." He rolled his eyes.

"Then why do you become an emperor?"

"I have no intention to become one, and don't call me emperor, call me supreme leader, yeah that sounds better to my ear. I just keep come across people who need a home in my strolls, and I give them places where they can live peacefully, but I have no desire to command or lead them. However, before I know it the Commanders pull few strings behind my back and I become the leader all of sudden," let out a deep sigh, he continues and brings his right hand above to observe the back of his own hand, the hand with few rings on its fingers, which one of the rings has the same model with mine.

Knowing how overprotective and obsessive they are, I'm not even surprised if they will do something like that. The commanders… no, every resident in Babylon can be too overthinking about something from time to time, but they only want the best of the best of everything for their master, that is an undeniable fact, that is why I'm not surprised if they think that become an emperor… supreme leader only fit for him, and somehow they thought it will make him happy.

"At first I don't care about the title or whatnot, but you know, when a lot of individuals from various races look up to me, it feels nice and I just want to answer their expectation, I want them to be proud to have me as their leader, then before I know it I'm starting to enjoy it. The labor we delight in physics pain, that's all." He ends his answer with a content smile, closes his eyes, and lets his arm fall lazily.

"That was admirable." I expressed it insincerely tone,

"Well, I lead them with dictatorship though. So there's nothing admirable about it."

I wonder about that.

"But if you are really bored, I might have something that might able entertainment you, My Lord," he signs to me to stop, rise from my lap, then stretching his arm and neck luxuriantly for quite some time, a long delightful groan came out from his lips.

"What is it?" after he finishes with arms stretching, he extends his hand, picks the round black sunglasses rest on the table, he turns his gaze at me as he puts on his sunglasses. Why is he wearing it despite still indoor?

Rather since when he wearing glass? Is this his new hobby? Two days ago when I stay Babylon he still hasn't picked up this new habit.

"Are you wondering why am I wearing glasses? Kind of makes me look smarter, doesn't it?" why is he looks so proud about that.

Just the idea that glasses equal intelligence makes you pretty stupid, a sunglass I might add.

"You just think something rude, didn't you?" he pull down the sunglass, gave me a calculative gaze from behind the black glass.

"One of my friends inform me-"

"Don't ignore me," he tries to cut in.

"Something interesting will take place in the incoming engagement party between the Gremory and Phenex, and I happen to receive the invitation, as well," I ignore his protest.

"I have a lot of questions, but I will ask two, first is, Grayfia you have friends? Second, what can happen in the engagement ceremony between the pillar's child?" that was an innocent question, and I don't blame him for thinking I don't have a friend, but still.

My eyebrow twitched.

"I was kidding~" laughing in the process.

"Even after my clan decided to neutral in devil's politic, I still have few friends, even some of the nobles often come here to tried recruited me in to join their peerage, of course, I decline all of their proposals. And the second answer I don't know what will happen in the ceremony, she has not informed any detail regarding that matter." I exclaim it while closing my eyes.

"Hmm~~~" even without looking at his eyes I can tell he look at me with a mockery squinty gaze.

"Oh my, do I sense jealously in the air?" Opening my right eye, I can't help but smile a little, in a teasing way.

"Yes, I am," always so honest. He lowered the glasses, enough for me to see clear his gleaming eyes

"Hmm~ maybe I should pay a visit to these pests who tried to steal you," it was still playful, but the dangerous threat still palpable in his tone.

"My, I am honored," probably I need to make sure he doesn't make any trouble regarding those insolent fools, but for now I just want to enjoy his attention. Besides these spoiled brats really needs to know their place, some of them even dare to use force in order to make me join their peerage, so if he really visits their home it would be a funny sight to savor.

"But joke aside, do you planning to answer the invitation?" oh my, it ends already?

"I'm not, even without taking any step out from my territory I'm already getting a lot of unwanted attention from the male population in here. I don't want to imagine if I actually make a formal appearance in a large event like that, but if you want, I can accompany you, My Lord."

"I don't know you're such narcissistic person- I mean devil, Grayfia."

Narcissistic… you are the last person I want to hear that from?

"You just thought something rude again, didn't you?"

"Certainly you just imagining thing."

Dramatically he places his hand on his cheek, sighing excessively.

"You were such a cute girl when you were a small child. Why did you change?" why are you talking to me as if you are my mother?

"Please, don't talk like you are old," I flatly tell him.

"I'm old, though," matter of fact, still rests his hand on his face, as he keeps talking about the old stuff I did when I was a child.

- Sir sir! I brought lily flowers! To give to you! -

- Wow~~~ thank you, Grayfia-chan~ -

I can stop my lips from forming a small smile. It was silly, but none the less it still pleasant nostalgic memory for me.

"By the way, who is this friend of yours?"

"It is the current Leviathan."

"Uhh….?" His hand makes few weird gestures.

"Umm? Ah right she uhhhh who again?" is he serious?

"Uhhmmm…." Is he really doesn't know who it is?

"I know, just wait a bit longer," reading my mind?

"Uh, you know, uh, um, who was it again? Um, um, um, um… ah right, the little Serafall, yeah cute little Serafall," he snapping fingers and happily said that, as if he just gets a life fortune from a horse race bet.

And, only you and your sisters who dare to call one of the Satan "little".

"You familiar with her, I suppose, more than I expected," I sent scorn glare at him.

"Yeah, we best buddies, met around 400 or 500 years ago and kept hanging out since then. She kind of reminds me of her grandmother," he ends his answer with a small chuckle. Pretending like he is not aware of my gaze.

"Until the incident took place, even though I don't mind it anymore we haven't hung out since then," his eyes went clouded, as thought he was sad.

Knowing how Serafall is, it is no wonder if these two get along greatly.

"Is someone jealous?" he turns at me with annoyingly smug eyes and a more annoying delighted face.

He changes face way too fast.

"I wonder who?" before I know it a warm sensation touch my face, failed to conceal my shock my eyes went wide until I realize what is happens currently, after a moment I calm myself as I feel his palm at the top of my head, both me and he stay like this for a long time, laying in the sofa as he keeps stroke my hair.

He is warm, it was always been so gentle, not changed even a bit from thousands of years ago, he emits the radiance brighter than that of the sun itself.

"So what is your answer?" the smile still played on my face, it is been quite a while since we stay in this position.

"Yeah, let's attend the party, if Sera said it will fun, then it's must be big."

Sera? Hmm…. it seems someone needs to remind who he belongs.

.

.

.

"it's Grayfia."

Annoying.

"Maybe I should ask her to join my peerage."

Keeps your dream in your sleep.

"Who is that man beside her, her slave?"

Who said that? I will kill him after this party end.

"Oh look who become a celebrity," that voice clear my mind, look into him, I see dark-haired Arah with amber eyes instead of with his usual unique eyes framed in rectangle, he also changes his face for some part, for the clothes he wearing elegant baby teal-colored suits with pinstripe pattern.

He is so casual he is even so relaxed as he eats a slice of strawberry cake, and his eyes warmed with a smile. he looks like he is having fun I'm happ- wait… he always happy all the time, every day is a holiday for him.

"My Lo-"

A small cough cuts my words.

That was… close, right now he is in incognito. In a large hall like this, it could be bad if someone hears me call him that.

"Taito-san."

"Umu," his face seems content for an indescribable reason.

"Do you enjoy this party?"

"Yeah, the foods and drinks are good, I guess, especially the drinks. Not as good as the one in Babylon or Avalon though," he takes a large bite of strawberry cake as soon he end his answer.

That makes so much sense, creating artificial new magical beasts and plants, is one of his hobbies he developed to fills the time in the past, and currently other than Babylon, there are four countries under his rule that made these magical animals and plants as the main food and ingredient, the quality that these animals and plant provide is a lot better in every aspect than regular animals and plants so it is only logical.

I keep watching him stuffed his mouth with cake, cute, it is like watching a hamster eating.

"Beswite I sweww nwostawlic fawess iwn whele," talking or eating, please picks one, swallow what you have inside your mouth first.

"Who is it?" even with that unintelligible sentence I still understand what he means.

Chewing noises from his mouth is what I get, until he swallows the food.

"Akeno. The queen of the bride's peerage," he takes the crumb near his mouth and eats it.

Akeno?

"Who is she? And how you met her?"

"The illegitimate kid from the big five families, some years ago in one of my stroll on my way to meet Amaterasu, I happened to stumble upon her when she was still a small little child, to think she grows into beautiful lady," he places his hand on his cheek and sighing in a dramatic way, what with him and acting like a mother these days?

Wait, is he a pedophile now?

"I'm not a pedophile."

Reading my mind?

"I'm not reading your mind, you may not realize it, but what you're thinking is showing when you're talking with me or something like that. Sometimes your imagination really disturbing, huh?"

"Talking about a kid, some years ago I'd accidently met with Lucifer descendant few years ago… when I take scroll around Underworld," why is he make such a dejected face after saying that.

Before I had the chance to ask him, like hitting by a truck, I feels a female body struck me, hit me in great speed, if it's not for him who stand beside me hold my shoulder with one hand, he prevent us from making shameful display, such as rolling in floor of large hall.

"Graaaayfiiiaaaaa~~~~!" this loud, high-pitched, and almost childishly voice, lowered my gaze I see the top of Serafall's head.

"To think I will see your face in formal event like this~~~" she still clinging into me like a baby koala, not even bothered by the weird look from the present devils.

Before I can open my mouth to greet her back, my ears catching the sound of a pair shoes walk toward me, look up I saw the current of Beelzebub. I know the current Asmodeus is lazy devil so I doubt he would be bothered to attend such non profitable event like this.

But what about the last one, isn't this his little sister engaged party, and yet I haven't seen any sign of him in here.

An dainty finger touch my cheek.

"What did you think so hard like that?" still with her childish voice, Serafall asks me as he pokes my cheek.

"Apologize," gently I create some personal space.

"It is pleasure to see you, Lady Serafall, I'm glad you seem well," I greet her with a small curtsy.

"Ahaha, so formal as always," as I and Serafall exchange words, I notice someone is remaining silent, the man with green hair, he keeps almost unnoticed from modest distance as he keeps looking at My Lord. As expected from the smartest devil in Underworld, he must notice something strange about him, but My Lord's disguise is perfect so there must be no problem, as long he is not doing anything weird he should be stay transparent to anyone in here. Unless he purposely do something just to create some wave, which he definitely will do.

Meanwhile, for the man himself… he still indulged himself with the foods, he ignored any attention he gets, or at least act ignorant.

"Who is he?"

"Yes?"

"The man beside you," she point with her finger at her-should-be-old-friend.

"Nanami Taito, he is…" what should I say here, if I have Evil Pieces I just feigning him as member of my peerage but.

"I'm Lady Grayfia's servant, nice to meet you," the man completed my answer. If any of his servants were here they would let out an tsunami of bloodlust with me as their target for making their master saying he was a servant even only for acting. You said servant but… what kind of servant who neglects the safety of their master to enjoying themselves eating foods.

"Hmm… have we ever met somewhere before?" Serafall crook her head a little, and put her finger on her chin. It was innocent curiosity gesture, rather adorable if I may say.

"Hmm~~~ I wonder where?" he should said no.

There is interfere before I can partake in their conversation, the main door harshly opened and a loud voice of young man fills the large hall.

"PREZ' VIRGINITY IS MINE!"

…

"What the fuck," you take the words from my mouth, My Lord. What a crude thing to say in formal event like this, does he felt no shame.

.

.

.

"That was rather nice show they gave us," the event was end, to put it simple, all this engagement party is just a foolish charade, a large trap for the Phenex's third son, and the one who orchestrated it was the current Lucifer, simply because his little sister did not wish to marry with the Phenex boy.

To begin with, why is the Gremory's Lord choose him as her fiancé if his daughter did not wish for it, I heard the Gremory is one of the kindest pillars, was it just a rumor?

According to Serafall's story, they already tried to settle this with Rating Game, she can cancel the engagement if she managed to win the game, but alas she missed her chance.

I do not blame her, overconfidence, arrogance, and overestimating themselves are essential to every devil, especially from the pillars' child, it is just basic nature for every immature devil to think that everything will go as their desired.

And she is one of the immature ones, young, arrogant, foolish, and above all she is weak, if she really desired to end the engaged she should be training and become strong enough so that her family won't be able to control her. I hope this experience would teach her some life lessons and become a mature devil.

"Too bad for Leia's grandson, though, well he is a douchebag so it's good for the Gremory girl," Leia Phenex the original devil, also one of the few devils who had a close relationship with him other than the four original Satan and Mother Lilith.

We keep walking hand to hand, toward the entrance where the car will take us home.

"In the end, it became Damsel in distress scenario," I say with amusement.

He chuckles at my comment.

"Want to hit the karaoke after this?" Where is that idea coming from?

"That absolutely came out of nowhere, but I will comply."

We pass the entrance, now just waiting for the servant to bring our car.

A long dark limousine stops in front of us, this is not the car we use to get here. There is no Lucifuge's crest on it.

Don't tell me.

The car's doors opened, and see two figures walked out, one is a tall, thin well-looking man with porcelain skin, standing slightly above average height, he appears to be in an early to mid-twenty-year-old man, dark red mid-length smooth purplish hair, which he tied his hair in a low ponytail, he keeps his eyes constantly narrowed to slits, showing only a little part of his ruby orb iris like a pair of twin eclipse moons, slim face with a beauty mark under his lips, sticking out from the head were a pair of purple wolf ears with a dark piercing on his left ear, I can saw the tip of his wolf tail peek from behind his legs, an ear to ear thin whimsical smile adore his lips. He is a werewolf and the eldest of the Three Calamities.

The other man is a tall well-built young man with a light tan complexion, long black hair partially tied up behind his head while the rest draped down his back, he has sharp blue eyes like a steel blade and bangs that occasionally cover his left eye, with his most noticeable features being the earrings of the eight-spoked dharmachakra made of pure gold and elongated earlobes, if he is in his usual clothes you will be able to see the scintillating black and white stone buried in his chest, as well as a large Yang and Ying symbol donning on each of his palms as well the back of his hands.

Right now they see wearing the standard bodyguard uniform: a black suit with a gray undershirt, red tie, and black gloves. They stand on each side of the door, like a chauffeur waiting for their boss, and that exactly what they are doing right now.

The commanders are a group with colorful individuals, some of them can be so cruel even crueler than the original Beelzebub and the other can be so kind like a saint, and the two belong to the kind group.

"Vilko, Shangdi, did you guys cosplaying as Man in Black or something," and that is their names in order, they are one of the most courteous Commanders that serve under My Lord.

"Ahh, no need to whisper, I already put up a barrier, no one outside the barrier is able to eavesdrop on our conversation," too fast, even by his side like this I failed to notice when he summoned the barrier.

"As expected from His majesty," they said at the same time with a tone of full with respect and faultless bow, "we have come to pick you up."

"Sometimes cosplaying can be fun, My Liege, ufufufu," the werewolf said it in his trademark upbeat tone, after he is finishing his greet and why he is here.

"Vilko, speaking to His Majesty that way…" the immortal human tries to deject his companion, his voice is calm and collected like the wise man he is.

"It's okay, Shangdi," he interjects before the two make scene.

"Lady Grayfia," he is always the number one priority for them, everything else is just an afterthought.

I return their bow.

"I'm surprised you guys find me so fast like this, it's just been two days." He said in a more like amused tone. Two days indeed unusually fast, in previous occurrences it would take around four days to a week for them to find him when he doing his usual stroll, since his place to take a walk can be really random depending on his mood, sometimes he can be found in Yggdrasil, Takamagahara, Mouth of Olympic, or even the lowest part of Underworld: Cocytus.

"We contacted the Chiefs Gods such as Lord Dagda, Odin, Ra, and the other if they see Your Majesty in their territory, but they said they don't see you, so there only limited place you might be, Underworld is one of them, just two hours ago we visit the Lucifuge's mansion and one of the homunculi inform us that you are here," the werewolf explained how they find him, still with a jovial thin smile.

"Umm, that's so, anyway who is still inside the car?" from the moment VIlko and Shangdi open the limousine still have not stopped shaking, looks like someone is struggling.

"At the moment Lulii's still busy holding back Lady Tiamat in place," that was good action, out of all the women in his circle, Tiamat is one of the most aggressive, if she is not restrained she would beeline to him, it would be bad if the strongest Dragon King made an appearance in an event like this, it would just creating an unnecessary problem.

"Hmm~" he did not let out another word as he enters the car.

"It appears that your skies have brightened, Your Majesty. You've grown rather cheerful," I can hear the appealing flat voice of a mature woman. And the muffled sound of another woman even from outside of the car.

"Do you think so? Maybe thanks to Grayfia and the devil's stunt I've just watched before."

"It appears the useless devil can be useful sometime, Lady Grayfia not included of course," the monotonous almost robotic, sarcastic yet enchanting voice of Android coming from the driver seat of the limousine.

"Reze, you shouldn't say something like that so easily," he reminded her with blank tone.

Enter the car what I saw is two female figures in the middle of what looks like a wrestling match, one is a very tall woman easily towering My Lord and the other woman on her lock, a slim well-endowed dainty figure with blemish-free milky skin and was highlighted by her faintly pink lips, long pointy piercing ears of what the elves have, her height is around two meters and still a little taller, the most noteworthy feature of her, is being the uneven length of white horns in the shape of crescent moon crest protruding horizontally from her head, it was rarely shown, she has an Ouroboros symbol on her tongue.

Her absurdly long dark pink hair currently is being tied in high-ponytail style by a large black and white ribbon, flowing down like a waterfall, has the same scheme color with her hair is the bright pale pink eyes the color of the fresh spring season, but as usual her eyes were covered with her signature black colored blindfold strap, there is only a handful of moments where I get the chance to see her enchanting eyes.

Lulii Sadecim is her name, the middle child of The Three Calamities.

For the attire, she wears the same bodyguard clothes. I send a quick nod to her as a greeting which she naturally returns.

But that is not where my main focus right now, what is she doing is what seizes my attention, she is holding a beautiful woman in a body triangle lock, at a glance, it was easy to determine how beautiful she is compared to any other devils I had seen in the party before, a woman with glowing soft blue fairly long hair like the ocean under the sunlight and matching eyes color with the darker scheme with a little icy gush. Her pale white skin, small succulent pink lips, and slit-shaped pupils helped exemplify her charming looks.

She wore an elegant gradient of blue to white fitting cheongsam dress exposing of the feminine curves of her body while complimented her appearance perfectly and a necklace of blue diamond rested from her neck.

Even in that dare I say funny predicament the cold aura that eradiate from her body still steaming strong full of regality and beauty.

Tiamat is her name, also known as the Chaos Karma Dragon and the strongest dragon of the Dragon Kings. She first met him thousand years ago after his visit to the Shinto faction, and the first woman who made a move on him some years later after My Lord satisfied his desire of travelling around this world.

In the current situation, she is being grappled rather easily, I'm not sure even if the strongest devil in Underworld could hold the sole female Dragon King with the raw psychical strength alone, and yet the female commander managed to hold her in place without breaking a sweat.

"You can let Tiamat go now, Lulii," I take the seat next to him, amused by her situation.

The moment she is free from Lulii's grip, Tiamat instantly lunged at him.

"WHY THE PARTY ENDED THE MOMENT I CAME HERE!?"1 She yelled at him as she groped his shoulders and abruptly shaking him.

"How should I know about that, I'm not the one who organizes this event, Tia, you must aware a big ruckus will happen if one of the Dragon Kings made an appearance in Underworld, all of sudden," let out an exparate sigh, he try reasoned with her. Even while being racking by Tiamat, he still able to take the key's car from his pocket fluently, and pass the key to Vilko.

"Vilko can you take the other car?" he effortlessly pushes her head away to speak, even after away from him she is still trying to close the distance and swinging her arms back and forth.

Wait, since when he got the key?

"There's no need to ask, His Majesty," with a respectful bow, the werewolf receives the key with two of his hand.

"Where's our destination, Arah-sama, Lucifuge's mansion or straight back to home?" the Android asked.

"Let's stop at Grayfia's home first," so, no karaoke?

Tiamat stopped her fruitless struggling, and back off, pouting like a child, it was an adorable sight that will bewitch any men.

"Understood," the smooth sound car's engine faintly reach my ears.

"So how long are you going sulking like that, Tia," he finally accepted her bad mood with a troubled expression and teased her lightly.

"HMPH!" he diverts her head, refuses to look into his eyes.

"You have me as the no.1, are you somehow dissatisfied with me, which makes you go alone with Grayfia, the no.5!" Her words filled with sullen indignation tone. I little annoyed by how she phrasing it, but I understand… no, I try to understand her feeling, she, as the first woman and dragon, Tiamat takes very great pride as his mate.

"Did you seriously just call Grayfia, no.5?" a chuckle leaves his mouth. Smiling bitterly with a bit of amusement he takes a sweet time to enjoy her jealously.

"Hmph! Hmph!" extended his hand, he gently guiding her head gently into his lap she complied without a resistance, curled up in response sinking deeper into his lap while enjoying the scent that rises from him.

"Sorry, Tiamat, I'll make it up for you later," He looked below at Tiamat with a small smile on his face as he stroke running a hand through her hair gently, and essentially petting her full of love and care, much to her enjoyment, she nuzzles into his palm, letting out a small purring noise.

"Tomorrow…" even my ears can catch her low husky voice.

"Alright, alright, tomorrow," close his eyelids, he was satisfied with it.

"You are spoiling her too much," said that, but truthfully I also enjoy a moment like this.

"It's okay, isn't it?"

"Yeah it is," with a muffled voice Tiamat said.

As always, she is so childish.

"Did you just thinking something rude, Grayfia," Tiamat once again spoken, am I really that easy to read?

"I'm sure it is just in your imagination," so, please, tone down your murderous intent.

- The Following Hour -

- ? -

"As expected, there's no devil with the name "Nanami Taito" in the underworld," the devil repeated the same line for the third time.

"That name is Japanese so I'm sure he must've been reincarnated devil, and every devil not only the reincarnated ones but also the pureblood ones are registered in this office," the other one spoke as he massages the bride of her nose, as she prepares herself to check the data once again.

"But we didn't find anyone with that name," another one spoke with a distinctively tired tone.

"I see. Sorry about the trouble," I pursed my lips, as I closed my eyes deeply.

"Oh, no, that was not a trouble at all, forgive me if I'm being impudent, but there's one thing that bothered me," I already knew something that bothered him.

"Then, be ask," I don't have any obligation to satisfy his curiosity, at least I can answer his one question after he complies with my request for repeating the data checking.

"It just with your power, isn't easy to find the answer you are looking for instead trouble yourself to come here."

"You are right, even before coming here I already knew the answer that Nanami Taito is doesn't exist in the underworld, it just… it's a rare occasion, in a moment like this I can just rely on my power alone," this is the first time I let someone other than my family and the small circle of friends to see some of my genuine weakness.

"Oh right, can you all keep your mouths close to anyone, even to Zelkram and Sirzechs about me coming here?" I let out a little fraction of my power as a last warning which they understand my message. Doing something like this is kind of unpleasant for me, but I need to make sure everything is in place.

"Thank you."

With a simple magic circle from my family symbol, I teleport to my research room… this place is my sanctuary and never failed to calm me.

Odds of Nanami Taito is Arah Auntyr Dragonika in disguise?

One-hundred-percent chance of compatibility.

100%.

By any logic it should be impossible, there's just no way a 100% of percentence will show up within my vision. No matter how ridiculously hopeless the situation and how small the other possibility is, more than one possibility will always exist, be it the chance of a low-class devil win against me in battle, it probably smaller than the smallest grand of sand.

What are the odds of Sirzechs defeating The Devourer in frontal battle?

Zero-point-zero-zero-zero-zero-zero-zero-zero-zero-zero-zero-zero-zero-zero-zero-zero-zero-zero-zero-zero-zero-zero-zero-zero-zero-zero-zero-zero-zero-zero-zero-zero- zero-zero-zero-one-percent chance.

See. I feel bad for using my best friend as an analogy like this, but be it a super devil or lower class devil, there are not that much differences for the likes of Dragon Gods.

Statistically, it should have been impossible, nothing was ever one-hundred-percent certain, It small, but the percentage of chance more than one conclusion exists is an immutable fact even by me, any kind of other probability should not be escaped by my ability.

And yet… how annoying and worrying.

Unfortunately, the subject this time is the being that cared little for mathematical improbabilities and surpasses any kind of logical sense.

Without a tiny bit of shame, I will admit I'm scared right now.

The being that can consider as a monster among monsters even by supernatural standard, the Strongest, the Traveler Dragon, and the youngest of dragon gods, the great teacher of the magician, Serafall's teacher, the Devourer, the one who killed four original Satans, mother Lilith, and more than 40 original devils, the one who forcefully put an end to the Great War, and the leader of the current strongest and biggest faction in the world.

One of the five definitive beings just made an appearance in a tiny party of Pillar children and no one notice it.

It should not be allowed for a transcendent being such as him to display interest in other matters that not his congenital and innate purpose. The Ouroboros and Great Red remained in the Dimensional Gap and had little care for mortal affairs, so there was no need to be concerned. Trihexa was thankfully still sealed, no need to spend a room for a headache, the last one still doing what its purpose and will always do it for eternity until living beings cease to exist.

They have no desire for anything other than that what they have from born Ophis and Great Red fixated with their homeland, Dimensional Gap, and Trihexa with its nature for destruction. I knew were either Great Red or the Ouroboros to one day descend from their home on a bored whim to annihilate the world for all, or when the seal of Trihexa meet its expired and release the Beast of Apocalypse to send destruction for mankind and supernatural alike, there would be naught to do but muse and accept the reality to enjoy as much the time I had before the inevitable to come, what would I use my last minute when these monsters decide to act? Maybe if all supernatural united as one we can dodge the inevitable with some sacrifice.

It should not be different for the Devourer, just like what his epithet he should be only invested in eating or whatever that title implies, and yet on the contrary unlike his desireless group of ineffable beings, not only he has show desire for woman, empathy toward other, he also displays curiosity almost in everything: power, knowledge, tittle, subjects, authority, and everything… anything.

The singularity that born from this world.

The fight between him and Great Red thousands years ago and Ophis two hundred years ago is still a hot topic among the supernatural. It said a devastating earthquake merciless spreading across the earth without leaving any place to flee, the sky shattered bringing forth of the never-ending storm, and catastrophe of tsunami happening in all beach in this planet, to put it simply the result was in just one day ¼ of the human population of that time had decreased just from the aftereffect of their battle.

Although this is just a rough estimate number, no one knew the exact number since the unexpected kept happening on that day.

The fight between him and Ouroboros was not that distraught and impressive compare to the previous tale, there's no disaster happening nor casualty from the conflict. The day had just flown like usual, the sun shone brightly, river calmly flowing, and the wind breezing not too strong nor too strong, exactly that day was nothing but peaceful, until the full brunt of their sinister full of all kind misfortune of this world aura fell upon everyone shoulder and send the world to its gloomy state.

It's so different, their magical energy is not something I've ever felt before, it's too heavy and dense to be called mere magical energy, It as if they put the entire ocean and sun directly above our head.

It was bigger, louder, and far too overwhelmingly strong to measure.

The phenomena only lasted for six seconds, but that six-second was like an eternity for every living being in this world.

On that day anyone below the ultimate class instantly lost their consciousness, and anyone who managed to hold their sense had lost the ability to breathe at that time.

After those two events, the thought that fallen to every individual in this world was "too dangerous", the fight between those beings is too dangerous. They can destroy this world even with only their raw pressure alone.

Be it staying in one place or fighting against each other, everything they do is a threat to this world.

The rice has become porridge, it's not like we can do anything about it.

Let's back and worry about the present problem.

Grayfia, with this it's confirmed. The council already suspicious of her, for some reason she can rule her territory properly even without any fund, that's only mean she has a sponsor from the other party that provides her money and everything she needs to run her territory, but not even in my dream it would be him who support her.

Is Grayfia a mole from him?

Zero percent of a chance.

Zero, huh, another anomaly.

To put it simply he doesn't show any interest in the Devil faction or whatever we have in our plan. Unlike mast majority of the devil, pride was never been my biggest virtue, but I can't help but felt insulted by this.

Is he doing it only for fun?

One-hundred-percent chance.

This is the first time for me to doubt my own power.

Mistress or lovers? Which better word to address the harem?

How Arah able to talk with other characters? They use different language, for fuck sake, I don't know, anime logic? And yeah, if Arah die, is sealed, or is mentally incapacitated for any reason… it's the same with the end of the world in this timeline, it's how important he is when canon came. He has some connection with Trihexa's seal thingy you know. (Well, based on his personality in Canon time, he will let himself get sealed and let IT rampage so he could fight the awaken Trixeha at full power just to satisfy his obsession)

Name: Arah Auntry Dragonika.

Age: ? (psychically) 1586 (mentally, human: 22 + dragon: 1564)

Hobby: Strolling, drinking, collecting items, gambling, and many others. (1500+ years is really a long time dude, this dude already did everything he wanted from his previous life from learning to play all type of instrument to the dumbest shit you can imagine just for entertain himself)

Also, useless fun fact: Arah is Hebrew's name, and its meaning is "traveler", Sfavnir is another name of Odin, Diabolos is the devil for Greek, ErooroShota coming from "eroi shota", Angelica for angel, Lady Dusk the goth lady, Rosegun the weapon maniac inspired from Gun 'n Rose, the legendary rock band. They are the first 7 members of World Searcher.

Arah (traveler)

Auntry (Knowledge)

Dragon (dragon)

Nika (bring victory)

I said that I uncomfortable for writing "young" characters like Akeno, Kuroka, and the other in last chapter due to the age gap, but I just realize… the gap between Shuri and Baraqiel is more than 1000 years, hory shiet. Baraqi is like 5000+ years dude, while Shuri prob around 25 – 30 years old.

Can I call them OC if they are characters from another anime?

This is how I picturesque their relationship:

Arah: Hey hon.

Grayfia: Yes?

Arah: Earth is flat.

Grayfia: *instant teleportation*

I know Grayfia is OOC asf in here, but it's due Arah's influence, this dude already corrupts your waifu.

IT'S NO NTR IF SHE LOVES HIM FIRST!

How old are they when they met Arah? Grayfia: 12 years, Serafall: 14 years, Akeno: 13 years old (dunno when Shuri died but I will make it when Akeno was 13 in here).

Yeah, I know, I prefer to create and write female characters than the male ones, it's harem series after all.

NPC:

Three Calamities, Svafnir's Creations:

- Vilko Karalius: Fenrir (OC)

- Lulii Sadecim: Jormungandr (OC)

- Mori Calliope: Ruler of Death and Queen of Babylon (self-proclaim), also the queen of my heart UwU (Hololive). It was in the middle of creating an OC with Scathach/Skadi as the base, then in the process, Mori's image suddenly come to my mind, so I was like "why did I just not use her for this character", and there you have it, a wholesome tsundere reaper gf with big dodonker. (Rushia and Suisei still the best girls tho.)

Other Commanders:

- Das Märchen: Fairy (OC)

- Reze: Android (Chainsaw Man)

- Shangdi Tian: Human/Buddha (OC)

- Faerun : Elf (OC)

Treasure Room Guardian and the Head of Intel:

- Jack: Shadow Person (Shuumatsu no Valkyrie)

The Heavenly Stars (Maid) Zodiac:

- Juvia Locker: Aquarius (Fairy tail)

- Ch'en: Pisces (Arknights)

- Ganyu: Aries (Genshin Impact)

- Nightingale: Taurus (Arknights)

- Neo: Gemini (RWBY) I bet you want Ram and Rem, huh? Me too.

- Politan: Gemini (RWBY) but they are already too mainstream. Actually, can I change them to Ram and Rem? It's easier to write them, and I don't have to describe how they look like

- Quan Xi: Cancer (Chainsaw Man) or Youmu ((best girl) Touhou)

- Sirius: Leo (Azur Lane) or should I replace her with Pitou?

- Hermione: Virgo (Azur Lane)

- Agent: Libra (Girls' Frontline)

- Manticore: Scorpio (Arknights)

- Platinum: Sagittarius (Arknights)

- Rita Rossweisse: Capricorn (Honkai Impact 3)

- Ophiuchus: Ophiuchus (OC)

I'm too lazy to create too much OC. And if you know any better character that more suited to the roles just tell me.

I'm actually already planning for them to make an appearance from the first chapter where Arah visits his guild, but nah.
