Chapter 141 - Releasing the Apocalypse

Sometime before the attacks on Church, Dimensional Gap - Unknown Pocket Dimension

"Are you sure we are in the right place Lucifer?"

Asked a haughty female voice, that belonged to a tall bespectacled woman with a voluptuous figure. She had tan skin with long brown hair and purple eyes.

"Yes, it is Leviathan and now shut the fuck up and let me concentrate. We need to find the seals that are connecting this Pocket Dimension to Zebel."

Said Lucifer as he, Leviathan, and the other two men started to get to work.

One of those men was a middle-aged man with place skill and pointy ears with violet eyes, Satan Asmodeus. The last one was a middle-aged man with wavy brown hair that covered his right eye, Satan Beelzebub.

Lucifer found this place long ago, and not surprisingly he wasn't first.

Yahweh was first and he sealed this world and created a sealed Pocket Dimension that was directly connected to the Sixth Heaven Zebel.

"Lucifer, I think I have found it."

Shouted Asmodeus, as the rest of them flew to his position, and Lucifer examined the seals on the barrier.

"Yes, this is it. Now we need to break it. These seals are almost impossible to break be it from the outside or from the inside, and are able to resist full might of pinnacle Apocalypse-Class for several hours without any damage, but alas fortunately we have this."

Said Lucifer as he took something out and it looked like a key, a rusty old key.

"One of the things I have managed to steal before my fall. Key of the Apocalypse. Yahweh had an interesting plan, as he himself planned to use Trihexa for his own gains and ascension to Supreme God Stage. If he reached the pinnacle Mighty God Stage, he would release Trihexa on Earth, while it would destroy all Pantheons and majority human nations, leaving him as only and sole True God, sadly his plans would never come to fruition as they would be used against him."

Exclaimed Lucifer with madness.

He thought it was good to plan to use Trihexa to cement himself as the only and sole god of Earth. With all Pantheons gone, he would be the only god, and all Faith would go to him, humanity would recuperate and soon, there would be even billions of fanatics that would supply him with Faith, essentially he would easily reach even Myriad God Stage.

If Lucifer was god, he would do exactly the same thing.

Trihexa was strong, and while it cannot kill Gods like Shiva, it could injure them, and then only Yahweh would have to finish them.

Lucifer then inserted the key into the seal, as the entire barrier cracked down.

"Come, we have around ten minutes before he arrives, and we need to wake up Trihexa. Preferably we make it angry."

Said Lucifer as all four hurried into the Pocket Dimension.

And there it was.

The Beast of Apocalypse, Emperor Beast of Apocalypse, 666, Trihexa.

It had the appearance of a large beast with characteristics coming from different animals like a lion, a leopard, a bear, a dragon, etc. It has seven necks, seven heads, ten horns, as well as seven long thick tails of different shapes. It also has four stout arms and two legs that are even thicker than its arms. Its main body is that of a primate leaning forward and is covered in black fur and what appears to scale all over its body. Its size is well over several hundred meters, making it extremely large.

"It is sleeping, when the barrier broke down, it will automatically wake it up in one hour, but that would be late, as Yahweh would have long ago sealed the place. Start concentrating all of your Demonic Energy in one place, creating joint the attack. We will throw it on the Trihexa and teleport out."

Ordered Lucifer as all four of them started concentrating all of their Demonic Energy into a single point, as Lucifer created a teleportation circle that would send them out, moment they finished the spell.

Soon they finished channeling all of their Energy and were teleported out, to a distant point where they could watch the show and activate ward to cut of the entire Pocket Dimension and trapping Yahweh here.

As they were teleported out.

"ROAAAAARRRRR!"

A loud beast roar echoed this area of the Dimensional Gap, as the Emperor Beast of Apocalypse woke up, and it was angry.

As the Trihexa was roaring in anger, a man appeared within a Dimensional Gap and rushed to the Pocket Dimension.

"Now!"

Shouted Lucifer, as they activated the barrier artifact that Lucifer obtained who knows from where, and the entire Pocket Dimension was locked down.

"Now we need to stabilize the warding artifact for next week and we can go. Hopefully, Trihexa will entertain Yahweh for several years at least."

Chapter 142 - Progress of Great War

3 Years Later

As predicted straight after Yahweh was sealed, a brutal offensive was launched by forces of Heaven on Devils, and Grigori didn't wait for long before they attacked both Angels and Devils. The offensive was short but hard and brutal.

Almost seven hundred million devils were killed in the offensive, as Heaven was aware that Satans won't be back, until one week or so, so they threw everything they had at us. My territory was also attacked, but fortunately, I didn't fight them.

I chose to act like a turtle and activated defense of my territory to maximum, and used Arcanotech to attack them from long range. After their army suffered huge losses to my Anti-Matter Magicule Canon Batteries, Voidfleet, Battle Mages, and Arcanotech Towers, they retreated.

And Grigori acting like cowards were attacking both factions when they saw them getting weaker from the fight. Grigori was attacking anybody that was weakened, as they were practically the weakest faction in here, due to the lack of higher-end powerhouses to lead the faction.

Not surprisingly Azazel showed himself only during the first wave of offensive, and then he disappeared, probably went back to his research. Also, Grigori's ability to lead war was weakened as I killed one of their strongest Cadres, Satanael. Though Kokabiel has been doing problems lately, he even fought with Zekram and survived a clash against Super-Devil, he was really resistant as a cockroach.

On the other side, at least influence of the Church has been completely diminished on Earth, and now they were influential in the Europe minutes Britannia and Ireland, where Celts took back their lands and once again started spreading their faith after killing every fanatical believer and burning down each Church in the country.

Similar things happened in Greece, though Olympians didn't kill mortals there, instead, they turned all priests and believers of Yahweh into hideous monsters, just like in the past. Greek Gods were famous for their pettiness, cruelty, and arrogance, so they really took their revenge on humans, by turning approximately 20% of the populace of Greece into monsters. Greek Gods got much stronger as this even, created many fanatical believers.

Not that I cared about such minor things, but I was still curious how this Earth will look like when the technological advancements start up.

Kindreds in Romania cleared their country from the influence of Church and Heaven and now it was their playground as they hunted humans for sport, or started breeding them for their blood. It was useful for weaker ones, that cannot feed on stronger creatures.

What was delightful, I got my hands-on research on Sacred Gears. It was sold to me by werewolf Grand Chieftain, after he raided one of the strongholds of the Grigori on the Earth, in Siberia. There was a lot of useful information there, especially how the Sacred Gears worked and on the System of Heaven.

Apparently, Azazel wants to create artificial Sacred Gears and is also studying how to sever the connection between Sacred Gear and the System of Heaven. From studying those notes, I have managed to find a way to sever Sacred Gear from the System of Heaven, though I would attempt it only after Yahweh's death, due to safety reasons.

As I was sitting in my garden and enjoying Tea I got from Okhwang, I suddenly felt someone behind me, and by the aura, I knew it was Hela, she always had some kind of dreadful aura around her constantly.

"What it is my deathly darling?"

I asked as I teleported behind Hela and hugged her waist.

"Nothing... just..."

She muttered as she looked at the ground.

Hela wasn't bold as Vena, or confident in these things like Fia. She was a warrior who spent most of her time on the battlefield, so when it came to man and woman things, she was pretty awkward. Just like me, before I met Venelana and she taught me some basic things in a mystery called relationships.

It was still sometimes awkward for Hela even after three years we have been together, after that kiss before the Military Headquarters.

"You know... you have really changed during these years. When I first met you, you were always filled with so much anger and violence... now it feels like you are tamed kitty."

I joked, but one precise punch to my stomach with her elbow quickly destroyed my illusion about peaceful and kind Hela.

"Just try that once again, and I will show you exactly how tamed I am."

Said Hela, as I could swear to see blush over her face.

"And who told you to stop holding me!"

She shouted with fake anger, as we both sat below the tree and I hugged her close to me.

"You know... I want to meet my mother."

I was honestly surprised hearing Hela mentioning someone from her family, and even meeting them at all.

"Queen Frigga?"

Hela nodded her head.

"She never supported Odin in training me to be his conqueror from a young age, but there was nothing she could do, as Odin's decision was final, and my powers were too great to be left as they were."

She talked about old times in Asgard.

"Though I doubt such thing is possible in the current situation, right?"

Hela started at me with sad eyes, as I cannot bring myself to say yes.

"Just wait after the war between our factions has ended, and then we will search for a way to enter Asgard unnoticed and meet with your mother. Hopefully, your father or Heimdall won't notice anything."

I said slowly.

"They won't, if they did, then Loki wouldn't cause such mess around Asgard and Nine Realms and Earth so often."

Answered Hela.

"Hey, are there any chances for Surtr to pledge his allegiance to me?"

I asked curiously.

"Surtr? Hmm... yes, you just need to defeat him in combat."

Surtr was at the Emperor Level and was strong as Hell. He would be a great asset to my future plans and military. Not to mention his almost endless hordes of Fire Creatures.

Chapter 143 - Clash of Dragons

At the same time, Underworld, Main Battlefield

Main Battlefield was just a fancy name for the wasteland in the Underworld, which served as a place for endless bloodshed among Devils, Angels, and Fallen Angels. It was a tacit understanding between three Factions, to fight at some abandoned place, to not cause too many civilian casualties.

Today, just like any other day, forces of Devils, Angels, and Fallen Angels clashed in a violent clash.

On the devil's side, Lord Gerstahl Lucifuge was sitting in the Military HQ, as he was going through the strategic plans.

"Hmm... just one month and Zeoticus will finally take over my place and I can go home."

Said he quietly.

On the Main Battlefield Commanders switched each several months, and now it would turn for his son-in-law to change with him.

As he was in his office, suddenly, he sensed an earthquake and enormous waves of magical power radiating from the battlefield. Suddenly, two loud roars were heard across the entire Main Battlefield, as it seemed like time has stopped.

"Dragons."

Cursed Gerstahl Lucifuge as he knew exactly what happened, as he flew out of the Military HQ to see two enormous dragon figures violently clashing on the main battlefield, with just aftershocks of their fight killing tens of thousands of Devils, Angels and Fallen Angels with every exchange.

One of the dragons was an enormous red western dragon with a long neck and green eyes. He also has red and golden spikes throughout his body. Y Ddraig Goch, Red Dragon Emperor, the Dragon Emperor of Dominance.

The second one was his arch-rival, Albion Gwiber, White Dragon Emperor, Vanishing Dragon, White Dragon of Supremacy. Albion is an enormous white western dragon described as having a beautiful pure white body, he has blue eyes, two golden horns, and unlike most western dragons, he has feathered wings.

"Order retreat from the battlefield, full one. How are our losses?"

Gerstahl screamed one order after another.

"In hundred thousands."

Reported one of his adjutatns.

Albion and Ddraig, were both pinnacles of Heavenly Dragon Class, just one step away from Elder Dragon Class. They fought each other not only from their rivalry but also to improve themselves, in the hope to achieve enlightenment and reach a higher level of power, the same as the Great Red or Ophis.

They were could kill average Greater Gods like nothing, so there was no way to fight with them head-on. The only way to fight with them was through deception and traps.

"Those two have started fighting at the main battlefield?"

Asked a male voice belonging to Original Lucifer who just teleported to the Main Battlefield after getting the notice.

"Yes, what shall we do, my Lord?"

Asked Gerstahl.

"Contact Michael and Azazel, to call a meeting. We will for now enter a ceasefire and try to deal with two of them. Yahweh is pre-occupied with Trihexa and would be for some time, so the only choice for us is to deal with them as one."

Ordered Lucifer.

Even he knew that Ddraig and Albion were out of his league. While he wasn't newly advanced Super Devil, he was still very far away from the level where Albion and Ddraig were, as they already touched the realm of Laws. Albion with his Law of Supremacy and Ddraig with his Law of Dominance, thus they were especially difficult to deal with.

"Also send for Zeoticus, his magic knowledge would be of great use."

Castle Fuerig, at the same time

"Lord Lucifer, Lord Lucifer there is an emergency message from Lord Gerstahl."

Shotued servant, as I cursed in my mind.

'Just as I could have some nice outdoor sex with Hela.'

"What is happening?"

I asked impatiently.

"Two Heavenly Dragons, Y Ddraig Goch and Albion Gwiber have crashed into the Main Battlefield, and are fighting there. Casualties on the devil side have already crossed over 2 million, with even leaders of Three Faction being injured after they tried talking to them."

Both of us immediately stood up in hurry.

"Send a message I will be right there."

I ordered as the servant bowed and left in hurry.

"Shall I go with you?"

Asked Hela gently, as I considered her proposal for a while before shaking my head in disagreement.

"No, I need to have your strength hidden for some time. Additionally, we will not fight them head-on, that would be plain suicide. Albion and Ddraig, are at peak of Heavenly Dragon Class, who already touched Realm of Laws. Alas, they cannot breach the last barrier in their understanding of their respective Laws of Supremacy and Domination, so they are having Life and Death Battle to experience an epiphany. Our only choice is some kind of Spell Formation to trap them and weaken them sufficiently, so we can kill them."

I explained.

Not that I cared where those two fought and what they destroyed but this was a problem. While Hela was strong for even a Great God Stage, she was my final trump card for the end of the Great War, when everybody would be exhausted and Satans and Yahweh would be dead.

And it needed to be that way.

But to be sure of my success, I used Fate Algorithm. During past years, I have comprehended and mastered 1st Volume of the Fate Algorithm, and could now predict the most suitable future for me with minimal inaccuracy.

I operated the Fate Algorithm and saw hundreds upon hundreds of possible futures that could happen in the endless stream of fate. Due to my constitution of Fateless One, none was definite and none was accurate absolutely.

But I found exactly what I was wanting, one decision that was the best use to me.

I ended the operation of the Fate Algorithm, as I coughed a mouthful of blood, and Hela runs to support me. As a Fateless One, I can use Fate Algorithm only once in several years or so and each use would give me a big backslash.

"Why you must you that dammed method if you are always injured after using it?"

Asked Hela with concerns visible in her voice and eyes.

"To maximize my gains and minimize my loss, my dear."

Chapter 144 - Ceasefire and Plans (1)

After getting the message, I instantly departed for the Main Battlefield, where my father-in-law was already waiting for me, together with Original Lucifer, who seemed to be injured.

"Lord Grandfather, Father-in-law."

I greeted both of them, as we entered the building.

We have entered the Command Room, where there were already several notable people waiting, most important being Zekram Bael, Heads of Six Houses of Lucifer, and Archduke Agares.

"Now that, everyone is here, we have already got a message from Heaven and Grigori, and in one hour, we will meet on the neutral ground and will declare a ceasefire until the two Heavenly Dragons are dealt with. Satans Asmodeus and Beelzebub are currently unavailable, so their authority is transferred to Gerstahl."

Said Lucifer, as everybody nodded in agreement.

"From the Grigori Azazel and Baraquiel would represent their side and from the Heaven, Michael and Gabriel will come. Now let's way and then I will be taking with me Zekram and Zeoticus."

He said as we went to wait. There was nothing else to do, so I went to check up on the magical barriers around Devil camps and started enhancing them, so they won't break from aftershocks from Albion's and Ddraig's battle.

After one hour, I have met with Zekram and Lucifer and we departed for the meeting point, which was dubbed as the neutral zone.

In truth, it was just several tens of kilometers away from the main battlefield, on some hill, where a tent was stretched up.

The first person to arrive after us, were Fallen Angels, in due of Azael and Baraqiel.

Azazel was a tall man appearing to be in his twenties with an average build, black hair, golden bangs, and a black goatee. He also possesses twelve jet-black feathered wings that grow out from his back. It is described by Vali to be a never-ending black. He wore a V-neck maroon long-coat with a wide, open high-collar that opens up at the hem. The long coat also featured two black belts around the waist and four black bands on each arm, two of the bands at the wrist and the other two near the elbow. He wore grey slacks and brown shoes.

While Baraquiel had the appearance of a middle-aged, gruff-looking man with black hair, a matching beard, and a muscular body. He also had a Ten-Wings, but I sense that his power was already reaching the Archangel-Class, and he soon will achieve it, maybe in several years, and Grigori would gain another Archangel. Baraqiel was famous for his Holy Lightning ability, as not many Angels or Fallen Angels, had something that was equivalent to the Devil's Clan Trait.

"Azazel, Baraqiel."

Greeted them Lucifer.

"Lucifer, Zekram... and that one behind you must be your grandson Zeoticus, right?"

Asked Azazel with a carefree voice, as Baraqiel just stood behind him, not saying anything, but watching our every move. Really fitting to his reputation as a rigid warrior.

"Yes."

Said Lucifer with gruff.

"Hello Lord Azazel, it is unfortunate we meet up under these circumstances. I have read your research on the Sacred Gears and Magic Technology of Heaven and Asgard, I must admit it was most enlightening."

I greeted Azazel politely. He was really one of the few people I have truly admired.

Aside from his inability to run Grigori properly, he was a brilliant scientist, that had high achievements in the field of Magical Technology, and had done extinguish research into the topic of Sacred Gears.

"I must admit kid, It could be said the same about you, who invented your own branch of Magical Technology, Arcanotech, and created his own magic system. After this entire mess with War ends, we could exchange notes, what do you say?"

Asked Azazel cheerfully, not minding everyone else. I didn't particularly care he called me a kid, as he was several thousand years old, probably as old as Lucifer.

"It would be great."

I said as we started talking about Magical Technology and Magic in general, as he would often have some comments about me being married to the two hottest young female devils in the Underworld, and having a relationship with Hela, who was also famous for her beauty as was for her brutality on the battlefield.

After some time Michael and Gabriel arrived.

Michael has the appearance of a handsome-looking man with long blond hair and green eyes. He has twelve wings growing from his back, and unlike other Angels whose wings are white, his wings are colored gold.

Gabriel on the other hand has the appearance of an extremely beautiful woman with curly blonde hair and a voluptuous figure and is known as the most beautiful woman in Heaven. He also had a 12-Wings like any other Archangel.

Azazel instantly stared at Gabriel's breasts to which she just innocently smiled. If he did the same thing to Hela or Grayfia they would probably castrate him like a stray dog. Both of them were really prideful, and only I was allowed to stare at them..., Grayfia even once froze someone to death, for lecherous remarks about her, some branch family of lesser Noble, I had their entire branch to be executed in the end, as I was a good way to establish authority and I was really possessive truth to be told.

"Now that we are all here, shall we begin?"

Asked Lucifer as we all sat around the round table.

"Now, who agree to enter ceasefire until the Two Heavenly Dragons, Albion and Ddraig are dealt with."

Asked Azazel, as all three leaders, Michael, he, and Lucifer lifted up their right hand in agreement.

"Excellent, now to the main topic, how shall we deal with Heavenly Dragons rampaging across the battlefield."

Now the real fun begins.

Chapter 145 - Ceasefire and Plans (2)

"We cannot fight them head-on, that is for sure as there is nobody strong enough to subjugate them aside from Father who is currently indisposed."

Said Michael, as he looked in our direction. Apparently, Heaven didn't want to admit, that Yahweh was trapped with Trihexa. Azazel already had his own thoughts about that, as actually, it wasn't any kind of secret that Yahweh was trapped with Trihexa, as that information was known to the Pale Blood of Old Yharnam, Shinto, and Olympians.

"Then our only way would be to trap them in some kind of Barrier or Spell Formation."

Stated Michael.

"Yes, it would, but also it would be extremely problematic. But the question is, how do we plan on trapping two Beings that are already touching Realm of Laws?"

Asked Azazel shortly after.

Ddraig and Albion were already touching Realm of Laws, making them extremely strong, superior to others of the same strength. That alone would make trapping them with some magical formation much harder.

"I believe I may have a solution."

I said as everyone turner their attention to me.

"Theoretically, I can create Arcanotech device that would suppress Magical Power in a certain area, creating an Anti-Magic Area while at the same time creating an almost impenetrable magical barrier, that would be powered up by energy from the Dimensional Gap, Underworld, and Magical Power of Albion and Ddraig themselves. It would tire them out, allowing us to attack them with Dragon Slaying weapons. If Azazel helps me in the construction of that device, it could be done in one week."

I proposed as everybody started considering my proposal on how to deal with Albion and Ddraig. The creation of the Anti-Magic Field, to weaken up Albion and Ddraig, so they could be killed by Dragon Slayer weaponry, was probably the best solution.

"How long it would take to completely deplete their energy reserves?"

Asked Zekram.

"Around 4 hours, with additional Arcantech, I can make the barrier enveloping them even stronger, making it impossible for anyone below the Being of Law to breach the barrier."

I said.

Based on my calculation, the Anti-Magic field would consume 1 Unit per second, the maximum energy capacity for Heavenly Dragon Class or Super Devil was 15,000, meaning it would take around 4 hours and 16 minutes to consume their energy reserves completely.

"Then Heaven will provide Dragon Slaying weaponry for this endeavor. In return, Heaven wasn't souls of Albion and Ddraig."

Stated Michael with a serious voice.

Neither Azazel nor Lucifer showed any reaction to his words. They knew that he wanted those souls, so Yahweh would make Sacred Gears out of them. Though Lucifer didn't care about that, as he was aware that Yahweh won't be able to make them soon, or at all.

"Then I as the deviser of this plan, want their Dragon Cores."

I said after Michael.

Dragon Cores of Albion and Ddraig held all of their Magical Power and Dragon Energy, by Devouring one I should entre pinnacle Satan-Class, and by devouring second, I would enter Super-Devil Class, and I would have around 6,000 Units of Demonic Energy Units.

"Heaven is not opposed to that."

Said Michael, as he knew that Heaven cannot horde everything without Yahweh being here.

"Then Grigori shall also supply Dragon Slayer weaponry, and make claim over corpses of Albion and Ddraig."

Stated Azazel, as we have all come into an agreement. Lucifer and Zekram didn't seem to care too much about gaining loot, and even if Lucifer was, I had insurance in form of Zekram to help me. Now that Zekram achieved Super-Devil Class, ironically Lucifer became even more paranoid about his old friend.

Zekram was now the second strongest Devil in the Underworld. While the other three Satans, achieved Super-Devil Class, Zekkram told me they did so by some obscure ritual, and their foundation was extremely unstable.

They cannot properly control their demonic energy. They underwent the ritual, so they can fight Yahweh and kill him, which was plainly stupid in my own opinion, but apparently, hatred has clouded their mind and their thinking.

"Now that everything has been decided, it is time to move. With each passing hour, those two lizards are causing more and more damage."

Said Lucifer, as everyone nodded and then went their respective way.

I remained there with Azazel, cause we needed to discuss our steps to construct the Anti-Magic device.

"I will construct the prototype and then I will contact you?"

I asked.

"Okey, I cannot wait for what you will construct kiddo."

Said Azazel as he teleported away.

The Great War was soon nearing its end. It has been three years from the moment Yahweh was trapped with Trihexa, when he broke out, he will probably launch a final offensive, and it will be then when I will start actively participating in the War.

When the offensive starts, Four Satans will fight Yahweh and perish in his hands, before Yahweh succumbs to his injuries. That would be time, to assassinate all descendants of the Saetans and take power for me.

Fortunately, the war was going pretty well for Devils, as thank my Arcanotech, devils didn't have that high casualty, which would greatly limit the usage of the Evil Pieces.

After some time thinking about the future, I too teleported away, to start working on the Anti-Magic Device.

Chapter 146 - Fall of the Heavenly Dragons (1)

After several days of non-stop work, I was finally able to complete the perfect Anti-Magic Device, with Azazel's help, we were able to make probably the best variant that could be done in such a short time.

After finishing the device, I sent a notice to Lucifer so he could call a meeting of three forces and we could decide on a more concrete strategy against Two Heavenly Dragons, Albion and Ddraig.

Several hours later, we have met in the same composition in the same place as before. Now that the Anti-Magic Device was complete, it was time to devise a strategy, which was mainly Zekram's forte, as he calculated several possible scenarios to make a move against Two Heavenly Dragons.

"That only leaves us a problem of breaching their scales. Nobody here among is strong enough to destroy their scales."

Stated Michael after one hour of planning and discussion.

We had planned on how to trap Albion and Ddraig, and kill them with Dragon Slayer weaponry, but the problem was that nobody was strong enough to penetrate through their scales with even usage of Dragon Slayer weaponry. So the only solution to this would be to use a blank period between switching of Anti-Magic Device and attacking them with Dragon Slayer weaponry, to destroy their scales, thus creating weak spots that could be easily penetrated with Dragon Slayer weaponry.

"I can use, two of my Emperor-Class Battleships. With overdriving their energy engines, the firepower of the main canons should reach a high enough level, to destroy their scales, if the attack is concentrated in one place. Each Emperor-Class Battleship has three main canons, so I can create three weak spots on Albion's and Ddraig's bodies."

I said my idea, as this was probably the only possible way to deal with them in a short time.

"That could work."

Said Azazel after some time of consideration.

"Then it is decided, shall we start right now?"

I asked as everybody nodded in agreement.

On the battlefield, Albion and Ddraig were still engaged in their never-ending fight, as they fought against each other, destroying everything in the process, as the practically entire main battlefield was changed into an absolute wasteland of raging flames from constant use of Dragon's Breath, which was especially terrifying when used by Heavenly Dragon.

Anti-Magic Device when activated would connect with several Arcanotech Towers there were build by Drones during these days, to create a barrier dome, that would activate the Anti-Magic element and start suppressing magical power and draining it.

I threw the Anti-Magic Device high into the air, as I activated the device. When it was activated several beams of energy shot out from nearby Arcanotech Towers and connected with the Anti-Magic Device, as the barrier dome was being created, enveloping the entire main battlefield.

The barrier was being fueled from the Underworld itself as I used my Command Sequence to strengthen it and also, additionally it drew power from the Dimensional Gap.

Two Heavenly Dragons, Albion and Ddraig as arrogant and as engaged in their fight were, noticed the barrier being formed around them too late, as they breathed their Dragon Breath on the barrier to no vail.

They roared in anger as they started attacking the barrier with their full strength, but it was futile.

To break such barrier they would need to be Apocalypse-Class entities as the barrier was powered up by the Underworld itself, and Dimensional Gap was another great source of energy for it. Also, thanks to several strategic places Arcanotech Towers, that were creating barriers, it was extremely stable.

"Prepare the Dragon Slayer weaponry, my voidships will appear when I disperse the barrier. We don't want those two lizards to get any ideas about our plan. Even though chances that they would work together against us is under 1%, but even that is a lot for me."

Albion and Ddraig were too arrogant and would never help each other in time of need. Ironically, if they worked together, they could easily escape after the dispersion of the barrier. That would not happen, those two were would never help each other, as they viewed each other as rivals, and additionally, I was suing their innate racial flaw against them.

Dragon Pride.

While it was true that Devils were prideful, Gods were even more prideful, but nothing can match the pride of a dragon. They cared about their image to the utmost extreme, and would never let any kind of insult slip away, and would do everything to achieve revenge even if it meant their own life.

After one hour, their strikes were getting weaker and weaker, as I watched this in entertainment. It was really funny to watch them, to try to break through the barrier. They tried something, then they would often quarrel and even fight among themselves.

After another two hours, they started a fight among themselves, after Albion mocked Ddraig for his Dragon Breath and compared it to the breath of wyrm or drake, which was one of the biggest insults among dragons.

Wyrms were lesser breeds of dragons, with only two back legs, as their front legs were fused with their wings. While Drakes, had four legs but lacked wings, thus they were often termed as Earth Dragons or Land Dragons. To insult a Dragon as Wyrm or Drake was a death warrant, and since the moment Albion said that to Ddraig, they started fighting, which only sped up the effect of the Anti-Magic Device on them.

After another one hour, I saw that their energy reserves were depleted, as they fought with only physical might, but even that was extremely terrifying. For example, Lucifer and Zekram were Super Devils in terms of Energy Reserves, but their body was still on the level of Satan-Class, while they were physically stronger than me, not that much.

But when Dragon reached higher Class, it would be Dual, both in energy reserves and physique. That made them one of the top predators of every universe.

Chapter 147 - Fall of the Heavenly Dragons (2)

"Prepare your weapons, the time has passed and we can start the attack."

I said to several people gathered behind me, as I told Architect to navigate two Emperor-Class Battleships, so they could fire their salvos at Albion and Ddraig.

"By my calculations, we have exactly 1 minute and 17 seconds to kill both of them, before their regeneration kicks up, and their magical power starts regenerating at high speed. After switching off the Anti-Magic Device, the impression effect will last only the time mentioned, and after another 5 minutes, all side-effects will be off."

I said as Azazel gave me a spear that was some unnamed Dragon Slaying weapon. Everybody had a Dragon Slaying weapon, as all seven of us were waiting for the moment to attack.

My two Emperor-Class Battleships were already waiting here in the stealth mode, as I was waiting for a moment to disperse the barrier and turn off the Anti-Magic Device, as I saw that Albion and Ddraig were absolutely engaged in their attempts to kill each other, I switched off the Anti-Magic Device as the barrier dispersed and ordered Architect to fire from main cannons of two Emperor-Class Battleships.

In a split of a second, as the barrier dispersed, main cannons of Emperor-Class Battleships lit up, as their engines were overdriven, and fired up their strongest shot, they could muster without destroying themselves up.

In an instant, Albion and Ddraig were hit each one three times, as their scales were destroyed on three points on their bodies, and both of them fell onto the ground as the earth shook and two Heavenly Dragons roared in rage that they were cowardly attacked.

"Now, attack them now."

I shouted as Lucifer, Zekram, Michael, Gabriel, Azazel, Baraqiel and I flew high into the air and rushed at the two Heavenly Dragons that were trying to stand up.

Seeing us coming close, they breathed some dragon's breath, which was easy to dodge, as their attacks were not precise due to their injury.

"ROOOAAAAR!"

Roared Ddraig, as Michael pierces his throat with Dragon Slaying sword Ascalon. Then the second hit came, as Gabriel pierces one of his dragon's hearts with Dragon Slaying Spear, which was even cursed, as I sensed several magical explosions in Ddraig's body.

It was the final strike from me, straight into his brain as I pierced his head with my Dragon Slaying Spear that ended the life of the Heavenly Dragon, Y Ddraig Goch, Red Dragon Emperor of Dominance.

In truth, it was easy to kill them, as they were weakened to the extreme, then subsequently gravely injured by my two Emperor-Level Battleships, which shot them with power comparable to pinnacle Super-Devil Class and then were attacked with weapons specially created to kill dragons.

But still... one of the top powerhouses of the Draconic Deus has fallen.

On the other side, Albion was in no better state, as he was gravely injured by strikes of Lucifer, Zekram, Baraqiel before he was killed by Azazel.

He was more problematic to deal with, as due to his touch of Law of Supremacy, gave him the power of Dividing, so he used it on his attacker to recover some of his magical power, so it took more power and effort to kill him, but in the end, second Heavenly Dragon, Albion Gwider, White Dragon Emperor of Supremacy lay dead.

As their souls started leaving their bodies, they were captured by some device in Michael's hands, probably crafted by Yahweh.

"I must say it was a bit anti-climatic."

I said quietly as I looked at the majestic bodies of two Heavenly Dragons.

"Indeed but so is the life. It wasn't us what killed them, but rather their arrogance."

Said Azazel as he landed beside me.

And in a certain sense, he was right. In truth, if not for Albion and Ddraig wreaking havoc on the main battlefield between our factions, we would never be forced to unite to kill them. Each faction gave something to the table, we devils, had me in form of Arcanotech, while Heaven and Grigori had rich weaponry of Dragon Slaying weapons.

"Now who will butcher them for me?"

Asked Azazel cheerfully.

"I can have my Drones do it, I need to get my Dragon Cores from them, but I want some meat. Dragon Steaks from Heavenly Dragons sounds too appealing."

I answered, as hundreds of Drones were taken from Interdimensional storage and started working on the corpses of Ddraig and Albion.

I noticed that Michael and Gabriel have long returned to heaven. Indeed, Underworld wasn't a good place for angels to be in. Zekram and Lucifer have returned to their homes as they weren't interested in watching dragon corpses being butchered while Baraqiel has also returned to Grigori, leaving me here alone with Azazel.

Zekram and Lucifer probably planned sneak attacking positions of Heaven to use the fact that Michael and Gabriel have returned to heaven. The moment Albion and Ddraig were killed, our alliance was null.

"You can drop the act Azazel. State what you came for."

I said to the General-Governor of the Grigori, as his stupid expression turned serious in a second.

"Sharp as they said. I want to ask for a favor."

He stated seriously, as I looked straight at him.

"Tell me."

"Let Grigori leave the war without persecution, and in the future, we can talk about the integration of Grigori into your little Empire."

Chapter 148 - Pinnacle Satan-Class

I looked at him with a smile, not saying anything for a while.

'He is a really observant one... I wonder, till now I can say only Zekram has noticed my ambition. I doubt Satans have noticed, and if even, they are arrogant to point of completely ignoring me.'

I thought in my head.

"You plan to withdraw from the war?"

I knew that Grigori was weakest among the three factions, and they had a pretty high death toll, and their population was small even after countless angels have fallen from heaven.

"Situation is not progressing well for the Grigori. There are only three Archangels in there, and those two aside from me, are not strong enough to be considered as powerhouses. Additionally, we have lost several strong Cadres, including Satanael, whom you killed. While pure angels are falling, it has slowed to a minimum, and our numbers are starting to get smaller and smaller. Only madmen like Kokabiel would wish for us to continue this war."

He explained as it made sense to me. Apparently, after Azrael left Grigori to become hermit, it must hit them even harder than it seems.

"I can promise that, but I can't promise that if some of your people make some aggression towards me or mine faction."

I said.

I knew that most of Grigori would gladly withdraw from the war, but some warmongers like Kokabiel want to continue it no matter what. Fortunately, there were only a few people like Kokabiel in the Grigori, with the most notable being now already deceased Satanael, who perished by my hand.

"Also where exactly did Azrael disappear?"

I asked something that I was really curious about.

"Into depths of the Underworld. Nobody knows where exactly, not even I or other leaders of Grigori don't know where he went. One day he just took his Death Guard Legion and disappeared. If you want to find him, wait until you are at least in the middle stage of Super Devil-Class. Azrael is even stronger than Michael, he alone could kill Ddraig or Albion with some effort, not to mention his mental state isn't the best one... battle maniac."

My smile widened hearing this, and I just thanked him for that information.

After some time I got my hands on two Dragon Cores as Azazel took corpses of Albion and Ddraig with him, and I returned to the Fuerig.

After I returned home, I immediately went to Devour one of the Dragon Cores, to push myself to the Pinnacle of the Satan-Class. Increasing my personal strength was of my utmost priority, as strength was all that mattered in the vaster universe.

Dragon Cores looked like one of the most beautiful pieces of crystals that I have ever seen in my life. I sat in my personal training room, in the Castle Fuerig as I stared at the Dragon Core.

I used Devour on the Dragon Core and started absorbing an enormous amount of Magical Power in it, and at the same time refining it and transforming it to Demonic Energy.

[Activating safety protocol. Energy Flow regulated. Activating back-up magical formations.]

I heard Architect's voice in my head, as several magical formations activated around me, to regulate the flow of the Dragon Core, as the energy was overwhelming, and even with my Clan Trait Devour, I was having minor troubles devouring all of that energy in the Dragon Core.

I felt how my Demonic Energy reserves were slowly increasing. If Devour was at Ultra-Order Ranked Mastery, then I would have already achieved Super-Devil Class. Sadly, it was only at the Exper-ranked nearing Master Rank.

After one hour, I felt that my Demonic Energy Reserves has hit the top of Satan-Class, standing at exactly 1,000 Units. I felt that it was not worth attacking the barrier between Satan-Class and Super-Devil Class, with remaining energy inside the Dragon Core, so I directed the rest of the energy and activated body strengthening formation, to strengthen my physical body.

Though I usually abstain from fighting in close combat, I hate weakness and for casters like me, their main weakness was their fragile bodies. Not for me though, as I would gladly sacrifice what it takes, to strengthen my body to the same level as my magical powers.

I completely devoured the Dragon Core and used its energy to strengthen my physique by several times, as I felt fare better than before.

I have long ago found out, stronger the body is, it is far easier to reach higher Class in terms of energy reserves, additionally, it speeds up Demonic Energy regeneration, and lessens any side-effect of casting extremely strong, destructive, and draining spells.

"Architect, scan."

I watched Architect's analysis with a satisfied smile. With this kind of strength, I think I can fight even against weaker Greater Gods or Archangels. Artificial ones, for sure, maybe even kill them with ease, I would need to test that.

Most of my magic masteries were already at the Ultra-Order Rank, as I spent most of my free time studying magic and practicing, aside from hours I have reserves for Vena, Fia, and Hela.

Yeh, we had an agreement, that I would have pause for at least 3 hours per day and spend them resting. Each one of my wives and Hela would spend one hour with me. It was Venelana's idea, to stop me from being such a workaholic.

Due to my Truename Dizmason, my talent went from average to absolute genius, it made comprehending and using magic feel like moving my hand or leg.

So natural and so easy.

"Now we need to wait."

Chapter 149 - Cockroach like Fallen

1 Year Later

The death of Albion and Ddraig was shocking to many people and factions across the entire Draconic Deus.

Both of them were the pinnacle of Heavenly Dragon Class, which was only a step away from reaching Elder Dragon Class, already touching the realm of laws. So killing them, even with usage deception and traps, was an achievement of itself.

I was even famous for dealing a finishing blow to the Ddraig, eventually killing the Red Dragon Emperor of Domination.

After Albion and Ddraig were killed, instantly after that, we have launched an offensive against Heaven and Grigori, causing massive damages to Heaven, and even some to Grigori, though Azazel was really true to his words, and he started slowly withdrawing his forces from the battlefields across the Underworld.

As I promised, I left them alone, as long as they didn't attack me.

After one year, it was clear that the War was already nearing its end. I obtain information from Zekram, that Yahweh was already close to sealing Trihexa, and their several years-long fights would end in upcoming months, meaning tensions between factions were too high, and fights were more intense.

I have also prepared for reaching Super-Devil Class. I have also reached Master-ranked Mastery over my Clan Trait Devour, which was very good, now I can Devour even more energy.

Right now I was laying in my bed together with Vena, Fia, and Hela, after several hours of intense lovemaking, until I was woken up when all magical barriers around Fuerig were activated.

'Architect what the hell is happening?'

I asked my A.I. Companion.

[Fuerig is under attack by Kokabiel. Defenses of the Fuerig have been activated to the maximum. Kokabiel is leading the only ambush squad here of 10,000 Fallen with many Eight-Winged Ultimate-Class Fallen Angels.]

"Fucking warmonger."

I cursed as I stood up leaving all three of my lovers asleep, while I went to deal with Kokabiel. I quickly donned my armor as I hurried out.

With my current strength, I could even fight Azazel for some time before being overwhelmed by him, not to mention Kokabiel who was just a Ten-Winged Cadre-Class Fallen Angel, who was even weaker than Baraqiel.

After I exited the Fuerig, I saw Kokabiel flying high in the air, above the magical barrier.

Kokabiel has the appearance of a man with long black hair and red eyes, and unlike other Fallen Angels, Kokabiel has pointy ears. Kokabiel possesses five pairs of black wings like any other Ten-Winged Cadre-Class Fallen Angel. He wore a black robe with detailed accessories and purple shoulder pads with gold streaks on the side.

"Activate all Anti-Matter Magicule Canon Batteries and shot them down."

I ordered as all Anti-Matter Magicule Canon Batteries charged themselves and started shooting down Fallen Angels from the sky, as they killed many of them with relative ease.

Meanwhile, I started conjuring Dark Light - Gate of Babylon Style Full Opening. With it I could open more than one hundred portals that could instantly shoot several hundred Dark Light weapons per minute, my own firepower was even more terrifying than several Voidships put together.

After Anti-Matter Magicule Canon Batteries fired their waves, I ordered for the barrier to be shut down, as in instant the barrier dispersed, I released bombardment from the Dark Light - Gate of Babylon Style Full Opening as hundreds upon hundreds of Dark Light weaponry tore Fallen Angels to shred, be it Six-Winged High-Class Fallen Angels or Eight-Winged Ultimate-Class Fallen Angels.

In the end, after several minutes of intense attack from Dark Light - Gate of Babylon Style Full Opening, only three Fallen Angels survived. All of them were Ten-Winged Cadre-Class Fallen Angels, though two of them were pathetically weak, and last was Kokabiel who was surprisingly, or rather unsurprisingly he was uninjured.

About Kokabiel was widely known that he was an absolute cockroach. He would be able probably to survive even fight with Albion or Ddraig at their peak.

Even I doubted I can kill him, he was slippery and would instantly escape when he sensed something was wrong, no to mention he had some pretty nasty artifacts that often helped him escape from dangerous situations.

But I would have enough if I kill those two dogs of him, and now even his soldiers who brought with him were dead.

I flew to one of the Ten-Winged Cadre-Class Fallen Angels that was nearest to me, and with one precise slash of my scythe Rosenkreuzt, one head rolled as the headless body fell onto the ground. At the same time, during the confusion, I cast almost instantly an Ultra-Order Tier spell, called [Solar Flare] that created a beam of intense crimson light that shot at other Ten-Winged Cadre-Class Fallen Angels and killed him in an instant.

When I turned around, I only saw Kokabiel with a provocative grin, as he activated teleportation artifact that teleported him away, too fast for me to do anything.

"Fucking crow... one day I will kill you. Still, he lost two of his adjutants and his most loyal soldiers, so he should lay low for some time now."

I said as I looked around at the corpses of the thousands of Fallen Angels.

These Fallen that followed him here, were his personal troops, and probably Elites, as Azazel forbade anyone from Grigori attacking my territory due to agreement we had. The only madman like Kokabiel would attack me, god knows why or rather the right question, who gave him the idea that attacking me was a good idea.

I operated Fate Algorithm to get probably one statement.

Was he sent by one of the four Satans?

Even as a Fateless One I could use something that was able to influence Fate, to a certain degree. While harder for me than for others, soon after depleting all of my energy to make a calculation as a price for Fateless One using Fate Algorithm I got a percentage.

87%.

"I will need to return the gift soon."

I whispered as I licked my lips.

Chapter 150 - Cutting Roots

After dealing with Kokabiel and his goons, I returned to Fuerig and called General Zagan and General Ragnar, who arrived as soon as possible.

I just looked at them before saying.

"Start cleaning our back garden. I want them all dead, either by our hand or by the hand of a third party. Notify the Executor Temple, and tell Grandmaster Valefor to send his best to accomplish this task."

I gave my order.

Both of them bowed as they left, and I could finally return back to bed.

While some descendants of the Houses Asmodeus, Leviathan, and Beelzebub were killed during the war, the main lines were still alive, though that would change starting today. In the upcoming days, all of them will die one by one.

Executor Temple was my secret force of assassins led by one of my most loyal and fanatical vassals, Cain Valefor.

Valefor Clan was Duke Clan among the 72 Pillars with Clan Trait of Shadow Ruler, which allowed them to have absolute control over Darkness and Shadows. It made them perfect shadow warriors, perfect assassins.

I personally even invested a lot of resources into the cultivation of Executor Temple, which was led by Clan Head of Valefor, Cain Valefor, a man bit younger than me, but thanks to my help he achieved the early stages of the Satan-Class. Not that it was known, as I kept their existence hidden, and only used them in times of need.

And now they shall perform the arduous tasks.

The assassination of the bloodline of Beelzebub, Asmodeus, and Leviathan until none remains. I already had information that Four Satans went to the pocket dimension where Yahweh was fighting with Trihexa and was waiting for a moment when they could strike and kill Yahweh.

This meant, that they won't be able to retaliate as they would be dead. On the other hand, I also found out that Rizevim refused to participate in the war, which creates a loss of displeasure with him among the Six Houses of Lucifer, which was ignited even more, after Lord Zaorama Nebiros, started rallying other Heads, of Houses Satanachia, Algaliarept, Fleurity, and Sargatanas.

Getting allies on my side was most crucial, and Zaorama did a great job. He also practically helped me to perfect the Trans-Devil Gene Seed project, and probably after the Great War, we can start recruiting recruits for the Adeptus Custodes.

In the end, the missing aspect of the Trans-Devil Gene Seed was Agreas Crystal, which was used as a stabilization element, which allowed us to create Trans-Devil Gene Seed that could be used for wider subjects.

While the more personalized Trans-Devil Gene Seed was still superior and was more easily accommodated by the subject's body, the generalized version took lesser resources and thanks to the usage of Agreas Crystal could be used on not only devils, but it was tested on Fallen Angel, Oni, and even Nekomata.

We have tested the Trans-Devil Gene Seed on several humans, of various ages, ranging from age 6 to 50, but all of them ended in the torturous death of the test subject. Probably the reason behind was, the physical body of human was too fragile and cannot handle overwhelming power input of Trans-Devil Gene Seed.

Somewhere in the Underworld

A man wearing something that looked like a priest gown with a cape looked at the message he received before he started laughing madly as he spoke to himself.

"Your wish is my command, Your Imperial Majesty."

He said as he melted into the shadows.

Beelzebub Territory, Mansion of Beelzebub

Compared to the usual atmosphere, this time the Mansion of Beelzebub where the mainline of the Beelzebub Clan resided, was filled with corpses, body parts and walls painted red, as several people in priest-like gown with capes, killed everything that moved, from maids of novels, including several newborn.

Most notable were Bidleid Bashalun Beelzebub and his descendant Shalion Beelzebub and Shalba Beelzebub.

"Set it on fire."

Said one of the people, who seemed to be their leader, as several of them, cast [Hell Flame] Spell, to burn everything down.

Asmodeus Territory, Castle of Ariat

Contrary to the quiet assassination, here it was under heavy attacks from Angel Legions, that thanks to some inside help managed to break through the magical barriers, and started slaughtering every devil they found up there.

While Admodeu's son, Damaidosu Zereikel Asmodeus fought bravely, he was soon overwhelmed by the huge amount of Angels and was soon killed with his entire line, which was purged with Holy Light, as Angels killed every devil in the Ariat Castle, leaving here only a ghost town.

Leviathan Territory, Unknown Location

A similar scene could be seen even in the undisclosed location in the Levithan Territory, where severed heads of Tsufaame Tereaku Leviathan and her young daughter barely in her teens, Katerea Leviathan were stabbed on the crude spear as various fluids were on their faces as Orcs defiled their bodies.

Contrary to the previous two, Leviathan Territory was attacked by a horde of Orcs, that resided in the Three Realms. A trans-dimensional portal somehow appeared, and their territory got invaded by an immeasurable number of orcs.

I just listened to one report after another with a satisfying smile over my own.

"Excellent, now three lineages are basically dead with just some branch members remaining but those could be easily disposed of. Now, only I need to get my hands on corpses of Four Satans. You have performed a great service, Cain."

I said to a man in a priest-like gown with a cape, as he bowed to me.

"I served to live, Your Imperial Majesty."

He bowed deeply.

"Very well, here for your loyalty."

I said as I threw him several High-Grade Demonic Energy Crystals and one God Corpse Potion, that I refined from the corpse of god that Okhwang sold me.

The loyalty of Cain, was unquestioned one, as he was my vassal through the Soul-Geass Crest. So I wasn't short on resources for him if he performed his missions well.

"Start slowly killing loyalists. They need to die, a necessary sacrifice for a greater good."
