Author's Note: Was up again with another chapter for you and almost everyone wants Meliodas with Ophis but there are a few people that say no so I'll wait a little more to make my decision. Giving Ophis the commandment of Patience cause that's what most of you wanted other than one person who said to make it Vali but the majority said otherwise so yeah.
Also, people said to add Koneko to the Ten Commandments with Kuroka so that happens cause I already know how it will go down as I've said before so that's good.
So other than that that's all so let's get on with the Chapter.
Chapter 11-The More the Merrier
In the Underworld
Currently, there are two Demons plus a Nekomata in a bar drinking away, well the two demons were Kuroka was just watching and waiting for them to finish so that they could leave.
That won't be happening anytime soon.
"I must say this ale is the best!" Galand yelled drinking away with his drinking buddy Melascula who was also happily drinking away as if there wasn't war about to happen.
"Kuroka you have to try this it's amazing!" Melascula spoke as she kept nudging alcohol towards her as she kept denying it while the bartender was fearful due to Kuroka being in his establishment.
"I say we make this guy a demon and keep him around!" Melascula yelled once again causing the man to nod before his eyes become smaller as he looked at them realizing their words.
"D-D-D-Demon...?!" He stuttered out as Galand and Melascula looked at him then Kuroka who shrugged her shoulders.
"But of course! We are Demons of the Demon Realm the Ten Commandments!" Galand proudly stated before gulping down more of his Alcohol as the Devil in front of him paled at his words.
He tried to calm himself down but couldn't as he was shaking with fear. Swallowing his fear he went to try and call someone, anyone to come to his aid before a hand grabbed his own as he looked to see it was Kuroka's.
"You weren't trying to call for help?" She questioned as she narrowed her eyes making herself look very intimidating as Galand looked at him.
"N-N-N-No of course not!" He said waving his hands lying trying to save himself.
This would be the biggest mistake in his life.
"You just lied didn't you?" Galand asked as the man tried to deny it but he saw he was being turned to stone and before he could scream he was fully petrified.
"So that's how your commandment works. Noted." Kuroka mumbled to herself seeing firsthand how Galand's commandment works as Melascula sighed.
"Aww man, just when I would make him my personal servant. Oh well." She seemed saddened by this but Kuroka could tell that she could care less about the man and cared more about her alcohol.
"Considering that our bartender is dead I suppose we should go back now before Meliodas gets angry." Melascula spoke again not really wanting to leave the Underworld but also knew that Meliodas would be pretty pissed if they stayed longer for no real reason.
"True I suppose it would be for the best...unless Kuroka has something to do that incidentally has us stay here longer?" Galand grinned as the Demons looked at the woman who chuckled nervously before she grew a small smirk.
"Actually, I think I do have something to do here and while I have you here I'll use Gal-chan's commandment to my advantage." Kuroka said mainly to herself but aloud so that her companions could listen in as they looked at each other but Galand was fuming at his nickname.
"Well, what do you have in mind?" Melascula asked tilting her head to the side wondering what she wanted to do while Galand proceeded to take some of the alcohol off of the shelf seeing as no one was going to serve him nor was anyone going to have these.
"Just need to pay a visit to my dear sister." She said as her eyes seemingly glowed as she walked out of the bar with Melascula and Galand with the latter carrying his alcohol as well as Melascula's.

As Kuroka said they exited a portal that she created as they were now in the Gremory Estate outside where she sensed her sister was and true enough she saw her sitting against a tree...crying.
It truly broke her heart to see her sister like this knowing that her friends were killed by her new comrades but she would try and convince her to come with her.
"It's been a while Shirone. Nya~" Kuroka spoke as Koneko looked up from where she was crying to see her sister sitting on a tree branch as she got up and wiped her tears as she got into a fighting stance.
"My name is Koneko!" She yelled fighting back the tears that threatened to pour from her eyes. She was alone as she told no one where she was going and now she was with her older sister again who killed their previous master because she was drunk on her powers.
"Mou, that isn't how you should talk to your sister. Anyways I've come here for two things." Kuroka said as Koneko for some reason relaxed, she didn't know why but for some reason she felt relaxed that her sister was here and nodded giving Kuroka the signal to explain.
"First, I'm here to tell you what truly happened the day our master was killed." Koneko's eyes widened at that. Koneko was very smart and knew that what she was told of her sister going drunk off her power seemed unlike her but she kept to that story for the longest believing that was the sole reason as it did sound plausible.
"You see, back then when he was doing experiments on us he wanted to use us as another part of his experiments for super devils. I didn't want that to happen to you so I became his bishop and told him that I would take on all of his experimentations in exchange that he did nothing to you." She paused allowing the information to sink in before she continued. She could tell that Koneko was having a hard time believing her story but the fact that she was willing to hear her out was progress to her.
"Of course for the longest this happened, I made sure that you never knew about it. But, after l managed to use Senjutsu and was able to survive all of the experiments he turned to you. Saying that because I survived it all that you would be able to do the same...so I killed him as the manor was destroyed killing everyone inside, except you. I took on the burden of becoming a wanted stray Devil so you didn't have to be on the run with me. To constantly live in fear of if the next day you would be dead or not..." Kuroka trailed off at the last part as she turned her head to wipe away her tears remembering what happened that day as she turned back to see her sister crying as well whether she realized it or not.
Koneko currently couldn't tell whether she was lying or not. She sounded very truthful and very sincere about what had happened but she wasn't sure.
"Ho-How can I know that you aren't lying to me?" Koneko questioned as her sister gave a small smile as she gestured to her right revealing Galand who Koneko could admit slightly intimidated her due to his looks.
"I figured you say that so I brought a friend with me. Koneko, meet Galand...one of the Ten Commandments, specifically the Commandment of Truth." Kuroka said as she saw, and smelt the fear coming from her but also curiosity at his commandment.
"She is correct! Those who lie in my presence will be turned to stone as is the name of my commandment." Galand spoke proudly maybe even a little arrogant but it was the truth.
"Wait so...you've been here the whole time?" Koneko questioned again as the demon nodded but she couldn't know for sure. Yes, if what he says is true and that he was here the whole time that would mean Kuroka was telling the truth as she wasn't turned to stone, but they could be lying. Galand's commandment could be something else entirely and as if she could hear her thoughts her sister spoke up.
"I can tell that you're having doubts so here is something that can prove that we aren't lying...that I'm not lying." Kuroka said but spoke the last part to herself despite both her sister and companion hearing her.
Kuroka snapped her fingers as a portal opened up and Man came out. He was a Human and was very Frightened as he stood up and was eyed down by Kuroka, Galand, and Koneko.
"Now we brought you here for something, an experiment you could say. All you have to do is the answer question." Kuroka spoke as the man seemed unnerved by this but he ultimately nodded.
"Do you promise to never tell anyone about this or Galand's commandment?" That was Kuroka's simple question as the man was very confused but he swallowed his fear.
"Y-Yeah I promise that I won't tell a soul." The man said as he smiled knowing he was going to get away scot-free. His smile however faltered when he saw Galand look at him.
"You just lied didn't you?" Galand spoke up as the man widened his eyes wondering how they could see through his deception. Before he could run or scream he was suddenly turned to stone from his legs up and soon enough he was fully petrified.
After it was over Koneko was completely shocked. Her sister hadn't lied to her, Galand's Commandment of truth was real, and that lying in his presence would turn you to stone.
"Now that you know that I wasn't lying. It's time for the second thing I came here for Nya~." Kuroka said seemingly forgetting her somber mood as well as forgetting about the man that turned to stone in front of them.
"What's that...?" Koneko had no idea what to feel right now. Her sister was innocent and had been a wanted criminal to protect her, she couldn't have been lying because of Galand and his Commandment even going as far as to show her what his commandment can do.
"You." That was Kuroka's simple answer pointing at her sister as she hopped off her tree branch onto Galand's shoulders much to his dismay before landing on the ground in front of her sister.
Koneko seems shocked...but didn't back away. Suddenly she was brought into a hug by her sister and she couldn't stop her tears from falling as she hugged her back still crying into her breast due to her height compared to her sister.
Soon enough she stopped crying but she was asleep as Kuroka picked her sister up carrying her back to Galand and Melascula who choose simply to wait for them in the Forest as she sensed Devils coming to her location...specifically Rias Gremory.
"You go on I'll catch up." Kuroka simply said as she handed her sister to Melascula who carried her with her darkness as they walked through a portal made from Kuroka as she went back and sat atop the same tree branch and as the portal closed Rias came around the corner.
"Koneko where are-" Rias cut her sentence short when she saw Kuroka sitting in a tree dangling her feet like a child with a smirk on her face as Rias glared at her.
"What are you doing here Kuroka!?" Rias yelled as she prepared her magic but feline simply chuckled at her.
"I just came to say hi after sending two commandments back to Earth." She almost laughed when she saw Rias's face pale at the mere mention of their names. She understands why though because they are very powerful demons and the fact that two were here undetected very much worried her as well as the fact that Kuroka was the one who sent them back meaning she brought them here.
"Why are you aiding the Ten Commandments!? You have nothing to gain from joining them!" Rias yelled but her glare hardened when Kuroka giggled not caring as she spoke.
"Oh, I got what I wanted I just stuck around to say hi. That's all, no more no less." The nekomata smirked when a ball of destruction went towards her but she faded away revealing that it was a clone as the real Kuroka was standing next to a portal.
"Just saying, you Devils should really consider giving up...after all, The Ten Commandments have someone that killed Great Red." Leaving that thought with her she stepped through as the portal closed before Rias was halfway there as she clenched her fist, in anger, rage, and fear.
Her peerage was slowly falling apart, Akeno and Kiba were dead, Asia was taken, Issei lost all of his emotions and Koneko is nowhere to be found...until it dawned on her.
"Oh, I got what I wanted I just stuck around to say hi. That's all, no more no less." Kuroka's words played in her mind, there was only one thing that she cared for and would want.
"Koneko..." Rias muttered realizing that Kuroka had taken her before she arrived. She was too late, her peerage was practically down to one member and he doesn't even know what sadness is. Rias simply broke down right there, she cried as she realized that she failed as a King. Two members were dead and one was her best friend...two members taken, one through a deal and the other unknown to her...another having lost all his emotions, never returning no matter how long he lives for...finally one too scared of his own shadow to properly fight. They all flashed through her mind from Akeno's wings being burned in front of her to Asia accepting a deal with Estarossa to save them from death.
Her crying was heard as people came rushing out to see her on the ground with tears in her eyes as Grayfia was the one who pushed through telling them to leave as she teleported herself and Rias into her room...not before eyeing the stone statue.
With Kuroka
To say Kuroka was happy would be an understatement. She made things right with her sister and got her back so it was safe to say that she was very happy right now.
The only problem was if how she would react to seeing Zeldris and Meliodas. Both of them killing her friends, while she was sure that the demons wouldn't care she wasn't sure how her sister would react. If anything she'll talk to her that all she needs to do is tolerate them and show respect other than that she should be fine.
With this in mind, she made her way to where her sister is passing through the main room seeing all of the Ten Commandments in the room as she paused deciding if she should stick around but decided to leave to check on her sister.
Walking past the Demons she noticed that Vali and the team weren't present but Asia was. As curious as she was she walked past them deciding that she would ask them later
"Melascula open a portal to the Demon Realm." Meliodas ordered as she did so albeit taking a few minutes even with Gowther's assistance they nonetheless got it done.
"Good. Let us be on our way then." Meliodas said not even waiting for a response as he was about to step through before turning to Asia.
"We have something important to do and we have no time to waste. Asia, all you need to know is that show respect and you'll be fine." That was all Meliodas said as he stepped through the portal followed by his siblings and soon enough everyone else as well walked through the portal...leading them into the Demon Realm.
In the Demon Realm
Play Song-Dragon Ball Ost The Universe's Fate
As they were on the other side greeting them were two bird-like demons with blue skin who Zeldris ordered to step through the portal and guard the other side from anyone trying to step through unless they were Chandler or Cusack. They nodded and stepped through as Asia seemed weirded out by their biology.
"Follow us and do not speak to anyone unless spoken to." Meliodas spoke looking at the former teammate of Issei who nodded as they walked their way through the halls and Asia looked at everything she saw. She saw paintings of Meliodas and his siblings when they were younger with a tall man behind them but couldn't see his face due to his armor or even his body as the woman next to him she also couldn't see her face due to her wearing Veil. Another showing Meliodas was looking at the destruction in front of him with a sword bigger than himself over his shoulder as dead bodies of Angels were littered all around him.
Silently they kept walking until reaching gigantic double doors. Pushing them open Meliodas and the Commandments walked through as Asia quickly caught up to them as she looked forward and paled. In front of them was something almost as big as Great Red, he wore full armor with a gigantic sword resting by his side. Her Devil instincts were telling her to run, that this was someone dangerous in her presence but she couldn't move until The Commandments got on their knees bowing then quickly Asia and herself also bowed.
"Father we've come here after agreeing on something." Meliodas started as the Demon King sat up looking down on them as he noticed Asia in the back who was trying to make herself look smaller than she already was.
"Just what is this decision...and who is the insect behind you?" He questioned looking at Asia who flinched as Asia was concentrating on not passing out from fear.
"The decision we made is on the Commandment of Patience. As for her..." Meliodas said explaining the decision then mentioning Asia in the back. "...the blond Girl's name is Asia who is also Estarossa's lover." Meliodas said explaining who they were while Asia was beet red Estarossa slightly paled not knowing how his father would react.
The Demon King narrowed his eyes if you couldn't tell. He wanted to know who the candidate was for being one of the Commandments and also wanting to know about Asia as she could feel his gaze directed at her.
"I see...I shall trust your judgment but I wish to see the new commandment when I am fully healed...Asia was it...step forward." The Demon King spoke as he removed the Commandment of Patience from himself giving it to Meliodas as he then looked at Asia who slowly got up and walked past the Demons as she was not in the front and while they wouldn't admit it they were ever so slightly worried for her.
"Y-Y-Yes, sir?" Asia stuttered and she couldn't be blamed. She was shaking with fear as she could feel the hardened stare on her and it was taking a lot of willpower not to pass out.
"What makes you worthy to be with him...my son is a strong Demon he doesn't need a weakling to be his bride...so what makes you believe that you can be with him...speak before I take your soul." His intimidating voice caused her to flinch and the stealing of her soul almost caused her to cry or go and hide behind Estarossa...but she did not. Swallowing her fear she slightly looked to Estarossa who was still on his knees but still looked at her.
"Your right, Estarossa doesn't need a weakling. But that's why I'll get stronger then! Estarossa said that he would help me get stronger and he has from the moment he took me away from my old friends and it hasn't been a waste since then! If you don't think that I'm strong enough then I'll get stronger just to be with him!" Asia yelled at the top of her lungs as she was catching her breath as the Demons behind her looked at her with shocked expressions. No one had yelled at the Demon King in such a way, not even Meliodas when he was angry or in a mood and now Estarossa was fearing for her life.
However, what nobody expected was...laughter?
The Demon King was laughing as his deep demonic voice echoed throughout the castle was the Ten Commandments looked up very confused as to why he was laughing. They very well expected her to be killed on the spot for the disrespectfulness or be sent to Purgatory for true Hell...but he laughed.
"I like this one...you have permission to be with my Son...but the next time you speak to me like that..." He leaned forward so that he was in her face. "I will personally...devour your soul...understood?" It wasn't him really asking a question more as if he was telling her not to do it again and she got the message loud and clear before he leaned back up but he also put his hand over her.
"However...I shall grant you...the power you wish for." As he finished his sentence a dark power enveloped Asia as she was covered in darkness while the Ten Commandments stood up as Meliodas signaled them that it was alright to stand as Galand and Melascula walked away and sat on a couch ready for punishment if they got one.
The darkness that was surrounding Asia was now gone as Asia stood but now she had a Demon Mark on the side of her neck. She fell to the ground unconscious due to the sudden power boost she received as Estarossa picked her up as he thanked his father and left as did the rest of the Ten Commandments until Meliodas pulled Zeldris aside.
"Zeldris I need you to come with me to retrieve some people." Meliodas spoke as he looked to the rest of the commandments who were leaving. "While I don't want to we are going to retrieve the aid of the Vampire Clan." Zeldris could see the slight irritation in his voice of asking for help but was also slightly nervous wondering if Meliodas found out about his secret.
"I see...then I shall come with you." Zeldris replied as Meliodas nodded as they turned to leave and as they were walking Meliodas spoke but he didn't look at his brother.
"If you're wondering why I Chose you it's because I know of your secret relationship with the vampire woman. You might be able to convince her and in turn convenience her clan." Meliodas said it very calmly but Zledris froze wondering how his brother knew of that but shook his head deciding that it would be best left unknown despite how curious he was.
After leaving the castle Meliodas turned to a Demon and ordered him to tell the rest of the Commandments that he and Zeldris will be gone for a while and should return within two days. Nodding he walked inside as he and Zeldris flew off with Meliodas having wings on his back while Zeldris had used darkness on his arms as they both flew off into the Demon Realm towards where the Vampire Clan resides.
In Kyoto with Yasaka/ End Song
The week that Yasaka had asked for is up as she was watching Kunou train trying to conjure her Fox Fire. She smiled at that before it disappeared thinking back to her decision wondering if it was the right one. She pondered on the thought before hearing her daughter calling to her as she looked at her.
"Look I managed to summon Fox Fire!" Kunou yelled as she concentrated once again as blue Fire appeared in her hand albeit it was a bit small but she considered it progress nonetheless. She smiled at her as she ran and jumped into her mother's arms as Yasaka giggled. After that, she nodded to herself as she called over one of the guards.
"Go to the Ten Commandments and tell them...that we will be joining their faction." Yasaka announced as while she didn't see it she felt her daughter smile while the guard nodded as he transformed into an animal and ran off in the direction of the Demon Clan.
End Chapter
Author's Note: Hello and IK that it's been a while since I last updated but that's because I got my computer taken away and for other reasons as well. Anyways, so a lot of you have been asking whether or not the Ten Commandments have the same power level or if they got stronger and that they should do some training. Well first, the Ten Commandments' power levels are the same but I plan on making them stronger as Galand was the only one to defy his Commandment. Second, is that people wanna see the Forbidden Spells that Meliodas, Gowther, Galand, and Zeldris learned while they were in the Forbidden library, and don't worry next chapter Estarossa and Meliodas will use one of them and trust me you will like it. Third, is that some people don't want Meliodas to be paired with Ophis while others do and would prefer her to use a more Adult form than the one she currently uses but Ophis might be the only Choice as I killed Akeno, Sona, Serafall, and a few other girls while Asia is with Estarossa Koneko isn't on the best of terms with Meliodas or Zeldris and Kuroka I don't think some people would want that pairing than and the other Girls are on the enemy side other than Yasaka but I don't think so for her. I practically broke Rias's mental health with the killing of her teammates, kidnapping two of them, and breaking one of them on an emotional level so I think I did a pretty good job at this.
So sorry for the people who either wanted a different pairing or Meliodas to be single but a ton of people want Ophis as well as her to have the Commandment of Patience so both of those will happen.
Anyways that should be all, I also felt like I could've done better when Asia met the Demon king but it is what it and let me know what you think of Asia being a Demon now but that's it and see ya next time.
