Seekvaira's heart beat in amazement as Izana's face pulled closer to hers- his glamorous lips threatening to impale hers and swallow them whole.

She could feel his breath hitting her face, he seemed to be quite nervous but Seekvaira could understand… this was her first time having lip contact with someone of the opposite gender but she was quite happy about it, she was happy that her first kiss was going to be with Izana-

His lips pressed against her's in a fierce passion, Izana's breath was hot and her face pink as he continued kissing her lips, This went more than a regular thank you gift and Seekvaira knew it.

Before Seekvaira could actually bask in the glory of her first kiss, Izana pulled away and chewed on his lips in embarrassment- faked embarrassment of course.

"Sorry, maybe that was a little too quick?" Izana muttered.

"No, it was okay- thanks for the kiss," Seekvaira said.

And then she left the backyard, entering the house and leaving Izana by himself- stroking his crimson hair.

'It's only a little while before I'm able to transverse Multiverses,' Izana thought, he could survive in this world right from birth- so 3 to 4 more years was nothing to him.

--

"How did Seth's training go?" Zeoticus asked as they sat at the dinner table, "She looks quite different now, and not only that but the aura around her is stronger and more powerful- What kind of training did you drill into your Queen?"

Izana shrugged, there was nothing more than basic sparring and some minor education- Seth did the rest of the growing herself and he was proud of it… She was truly fit to be his Queen and a Queen that he could trust to put her life on the line for him.

Now the next people he would think of getting were Akeno and then he would start making preparations for Koneko's Older sister… Kuroka.

"Just minor fighting," Izana said, "And magic training- nothing more than those two, Besides I think you had a better month than I did-"

Izana's month was bare but fruitful, he didn't have the regular eye candy he was used to but he was okay- and stronger too, but far too weaker than Sirzechs. His eyes subconsciously floated to the Maou and Sirzechs flashed him a grateful smile.

He had accepted Izana's offer, Izana was prepared to break Sirzechs thoroughly- He didn't have anything against his older brother in this life but that sense of fulfillment filled his heart… The fact that Sirzechs was lusting after a woman that rightfully belonged to him, Izana couldn't let that slip- no he had to break the Maou in the greatest way possible… Mentally!

Ripping apart Sirzechs's mind bit by bit, Izana felt that he was getting better at mind games, he wasn't used to using them- after all, in his past life… he was just a regular Otaku who got off from blowing his load while watching Anime girls riding cocks but here? He was the heir of the Gremory family and he was a dominator as well, If it was money- he had lots of it.

But what he prioritized was not Money but rather Power… the true rulers of this world had Power and Izana wanted it too… he wanted to have power so bad and that his major priority, after that was meeting his mother again but loving women were the least on his list.

"It's hard to think she got so strong the way you described but it's okay, you finally have your Queen son- I'm proud of you," Zeoticus said and Izana nodded in acknowledgement.

"Thank you father but I haven't even begun my Peerage," Izana said, "I can't wait to start participating in Rating games,"

To be honest Izana was quite excited to actually start Rating games but he wasn't so excited that he would start jumping around- he needed to get pawns, rooks and bishops and start participating in Rating games! Besides he didn't know the exact time the Phenex family proposed Marriage but he would stop it when it happened, that was a promise.

"Oh I'm sure your peerage will be really strong, just like you are," Venelana quipped as she took another bite of her food, savoring the delicious flavor.

"Yes Big bro is strong," Rias supported with a smile, "Big bro is really strong and he will grow stronger,"

"Mm hmm," Venelana hummed and Izana felt at peace, they actually believed in him and he was in no position to disappoint them.

Izana quickly finished up his dinner and proceeded to go upstairs, Seekvaira had already gone home and Sairaorg was not going to drop by in quite a while so he had to make do with his other friends- Books.

As he entered his study, he found a steaming hot cup of tea awaiting him on his table and the last book he was reading was opened on the table… at once he knew the only girl devoted enough to do this and her arms wrapped around him from behind, pushing his head to nestle softly in her bountiful breasts.

"Grayfia…"

"I'm here darling," Grayfia said and Izana couldn't help but give a cheeky smile as he thought how Sirzechs would react if he saw this.

"Master, I've missed you," Grayfia said and Izana nodded.

"Good, there would be no point of an outing if you didn't miss me," Izana said with a matter-of-fact look as Grayfia released him from the hug.

"So now we need to talk," Izana said while taking a seat on the chair, sipping on his tea quickly, "I sure did miss you and your tea,"

Grayfia nodded and waited for Izana to skip to the thing they had to talk about.

"You see Sirzechs is still interested in you," Izana said and her eyes rolled in annoyance, "And he's determined to do anything to get you- which is why I need to act fast, if he picks up on our relationship… My life might not be safe,"

"Huh?"

"He might kill me,"

--

They say Love made a man blind- he was willing to do anything for the woman he was in love with if he was truly in love.

Izana was well on the path of becoming evil- but his Metamorphosis wouldn't be complete until he attained heaven-shattering strength or so cultivation novels quipped them and until Izana got the Lazy Lust system, he was inferior to Sirzechs… as much as he hated to admit it, Sirzechs could eliminate him within a Quarter of a second, by using his aura alone.

Despite them being Blood brothers, Izana had seen signs- signs that this man could kill and he wanted to avoid the situation at all cost by utilizing another innocent devil… he was far more important in this world than a devil that didn't appear in the Canon.

Upon his reincarnation, he hadn't thought about killing another person- he hadn't thought about being a murderer but he was reminded once again by the rules that guided this world… It was kill or be killed and Izana wanted to be the one doing the killing.

He was once a victim of the cycle, he had been the prey and had accepted his position blindly- but in reality, it was the predators getting the big bones out there- if one had enough power and influence, Women would come knocking… Such women like his Childhood friend who he couldn't even remember her name anymore, Moy?

But these kind of women were nothing but liabilities, they might be hot but they would always bring the successful man down in the end- so Izana prided himself in cultivating women that would not be liabilities but would make him even more successful.

These women would be part of his peerage or concubines that would birth his children but the fact was that, they were not women that would bring him down- they were women that would risk their all for him to rise up and they were better than regular women who were going to lead their men to downfall.

If he slipped up even a bit and Sirzechs learned of it- the least of his worries would be getting a proper Peerage… Even Venelana wouldn't be able to save him from the wrathfulness of the Maou and Izana was trying to avoid such a situation which was why he was going to frame an innocent devil as the Lover of Grayfia and then kill that one to ensure his safety.

It was cold logic- the strong survive and the weak die! That was the finalization of everything, ultimately the weak die off and only the people capable of calculable cold logic and actions would survive- the weaklings would be killed and Izana had been coldly calculating since the moment he was reborn in this world.

"Kill you?" Grayfia asked.

"Yes," Izana replied while not breaking eye contact away from her, "Despite being his blood brother- I stole the woman he admires with all of his heart, what excuse is there not to do away with me?"

Grayfia clenched her fists but Izana gave a crazy grin as he chugged down the contents of the cup instantly.

"But we can avert all of this- I've told Sirzechs that you sneak out of the mansion to meet your lover," Izana said.

Grayfia's eyes bulged open.

"Why would you tell him that?" Grayfia asked.

"To avert the problem, if this faked Lover were to die… Do you think I would be a suspect?" Izana asked.

"No," Grayfia said.

"It's a win-win too, because after this 'Lover' dies, you can still reject his proposal and I'll be in the clear from Sirzechs's suspicion," Izana said, "So would you do this for me? I won't force you Gray-"

"Without hesitation Master, I will help you without hesitation," Grayfia said with a smile.

"Okay, stand aside," Izana said and Grayfia stepped away from the door, "We have unexpected visitors,"

After saying that, Izana wrenched the door open with the power of his magic and a hand created with pulsating magical energy grabbed the people outside and forced them into the room, locking the door behind it.

Three people were released from the grip of the magic arm and Izana sighed, perhaps he was quite on the edge since there could be some servants sent by Sirzechs to keep watch on him… but they were just his curious maids.

Izana waved his hand at the door and a protective wall of magic sprouted into existence, shielding the door and all the windows- the barrier let off a translucent green light.

"Master, the barriers?" Seth asked and Izana waved her off.

"They're not regular magic barriers or even protective barriers, just barriers that block off sound," Izana said as he leaned back into the chair, "Now I'm sure you all heard of it, we're going to orchestrate a plan to fool the great Lucifer Maou himself and it will be intense,"

--

Izana found himself yet again on the Balcony, he found himself attracted to this place- it held some sort of allure that he couldn't wrap his fingers around.

[Perhaps you enjoy being in peace, left alone by yourself]

'Yeah, It's nice to socialize yourself with other people but sometimes- even the greatest people need some breathing space'

[You know that you only show this side of yourself to me- You can't be like this with any of the other girls]

'Mmm hmm, because they're women,'

[And what am I?]

"A goddess," Izana muttered under his breath.

[Cute, is that why you don't treat me like the others?]

'Yes, I have issues in trusting women in general- but you're different, you're a goddess and not only that… You sacrificed about 3500 years of your time into bringing my soul to the Land Of Culture,' Izana thought, 'A regular woman can't do that for a guy they barely met,'

[True]

'And you can't use the excuse that you were interested in what I could do- My dear goddess, you were smitten by me the moment you first saw me,'

[Heh, you're not wrong… It seems like fate pushed us together, you're the most important person for me right now, I love you]

Izana was speechless, he couldn't say he felt the same… sure he admired her but not to the level of love.

[Your reaction is funny, You don't have to say it back- I know what you have been through and I don't expect you to love me back immediately but one day… You'll love me]

--

The ethereal glow of the moon casted a shadow upon Izana's figure as he conversed with the Goddess in his thoughts, one could see a smile on his face as he continued talking with his Fiance but this smile quickly faded as he cocked his head to the right.

"Who's there?" Izana asked and the person emerged from the shadows, revealing himself to be Sirzechs.

"You seem to be having so much fun," Sirzechs said with a smile, "You were having quite good thoughts and I didn't want to interrupt,"

"Hmm, What's so important that you chose to come talk to me at this time?" Izana asked, he wanted to get straight to business and get back to the conversation with the Goddess- he was getting to something interesting about the gods before the Maou arrived.

"The plan with Grayfia, I want to be part," Sirzechs said and Izana nodded.

"If you really like her that much, I can't stop you," Izana said, "Just make sure to do one thing,"

"Oh and what's that?" Sirzechs asked.

Izana turned to face the older man, his eyes briefly flashing in a purple light as he gave a stern command.

"Don't get in my way," Izana replied with coldness.

Sirzechs nodded, feeling a little oppressed but nevertheless he didn't back down- To him, the more his little brother gained more power- the more became distant, like in a realm of his own… He started to miss the days when he dropped by with Grayfia to challenge Izana's strength.

After he stopped coming, Izana had gotten stronger on his own but that affected their relationship as brothers- the air was tense and the Maou took a step back as the coldness of the night took over.

"It's really cold," Sirzechs said.

Izana stopped staring and returned to his original position, staring at the starry sky, his hair billowing in the cold wind.

"Yeah, seems like a heavy storm- enough for Grayfia to make her way through," Izana said, "It'll go in our favor though,"

"Want me to keep watch over her?" Sirzechs asked and Izana face-palmed.

"Utter idiocy, Grayfia is an ultimate class for crying out loud- if she was being watched over while she slept, you think she wouldn't know?"

Izana was met with silence, but he didn't hesitate to push on.

"And if you were the one watching over her- She's already acquainted with sensing your energy since you guys have spent quite a while together," Izana said, "You'd literally be taking apart our plan in a single action,"

"I understand," Sirzechs said with a slight blush, he was embarrassed out of his mind and although Izana had intentions to embarrass him further, a sudden appearance shifted things… she was coming to the Balcony.

"It's Grayfia,"

Izana wasn't a bit alarmed, but he couldn't help but be thankful for her timing- the last place he wanted to be right now was outside with this guy, not only had Sirzechs ruined the conversation he was having with the goddess but he was still trying to act casual.

Grayfia entered moments later and stared at Sirzechs, greeting him with a smile on her face- she did well to hide the disdain she felt toward the man for being capable of hurting her Master.

"Master Izana, Seth has told me to inform you that your evening bath is ready," Grayfia said and Izana nodded with acknowledgement.

"I'll be there in a minute," Izana said and moved away from the balcony, "Brother it was nice talking to you,"

And with that, Izana left the Balcony with Grayfia.

--

Izana yawned as he stretched, he felt really refreshed after a Good night's sleep and a hot bath- but they still needed to arrange a lot of things like who would be Grayfia's fake lover? How he would die and so on… but those were problems for the future Izana- he was the present Izana and he wanted to enjoy himself as much as possible before he went back to plotting.

"Uh, Master- you're finally awake?" Seth asked as she stood in front of him.

Izana hadn't turned to see her yet but she was wearing skimpy clothing, he could feel it and not only that but she was also embarrassed- his perception was really off the charts.

"Master, do you want me to service you?" Seth asked and Izana wiped his eyes, he wasn't sure he heard them right but he wanted to see what she was wearing-

His eyes went to her clothing at once and a crimson blush crossed his cheeks, they say you only saw this kind of material in hentai manga but this was reality…

Seth wore a tight black bra that did little to conceal the size of her bodacious breasts, pressing against her bra with vigor. Her pale skin made her look even more beautiful as her black devil wings were spread apart.

She was wearing black panties and they looked pretty amazing as well, but it was the expression on her face that got him off- he couldn't understand how she could be so cute. Her face was as red as a tomato and she looked really amazing.

If this were the old him, he would have probably jumped at the opportunity to get himself laid but there was something wrong… Seth could never be so inviting.

Izana sat up and leaned back on his pillow, taking a deep breath.

[Honestly it's surprising you have this much self-control]

The goddess said while giggling and a vein popped on his forehead, sure he didn't have much self-control in the past but that didn't mean he couldn't change.

"What happened? Did the other girls force you into doing this?" Izana asked.

Seth was silent, her fingers tingling against each other as she shyly looked into Izana's azure eyes.

Izana didn't forget to entertain the possibility that she could also be doing this of her own free will and if she was, Izana would accept her service request easily… it wasn't like he wanted to get cockblocked.

--

"Uhm… Master, we spent a month together right?" Seth asked.

"Yes we did," Izana said while stroking his hair impatiently, he was really craving for that hot bath right about now.

"But why does it feel like you're giving Grayfia more attention?" Seth asked.

Izana's eyes widened in realization, he realized the root of this… in truth, the girl was just craving more attention and she was his queen after all.

"Sorry if that came out rudely Master," Seth said with a little bow, "But I really want to know,"

"You see," Izana said while rising from his bed and putting his legs on the ground, "If I had a chance to choose- I would always choose Grayfia because of course she has ultimate class strength and has great potential to become a wife, but the most part is that she has greater boobs,"

"So of course I'll treat her right," Izana said, "But you… you have even greater potential and the servant I'm closest with,"

Seth felt her cheeks heat up.

"Did you really think a poor attempt at seducing me would actually bring us closer?" Izana asked. His gaze didn't wander away from her milky white skin and twin cute devil wings on her back… Izana didn't know why but devil girls always made him hot.

[Besides you had many fantasies about High School DxD- Hope you can fulfill that incest fantasy with Venelana]

Izana blushed slightly.

'Great time to say that,' Izana thought and the goddess gave a cute chuckle.

[But I'm sure Zeoticus wouldn't allow it]

'Who cares?' Izana thought, 'I'll break him down just like I'm planning to do with Sirzechs- he won't see it coming,'

[Did I ever tell you that this matured, uncaring side of you… is really hot?]

Izana didn't blush, no he smirked as he shrugged.

"Alright Seth, lead me to my tub," Izana said and Seth nodded.

'No, you didn't- Want a piece of this?' Izana thought.

[Nope, not yet. I'd prefer if you were old enough to activate the System first]

Izana couldn't help but sigh, Alas he wasn't old enough to have the Lazy lust system- he couldn't do much with women in this 11- 12 year old body… he couldn't start reproducing until he was 15 years old… He could only wait to see the shocked expression on Sirzechs's face when Grayfia was heavily pregnant with his child!

--

Grayfia had made arrangements and our unfortunate target was a Lower class devil that lived within the depths of the Gremory family territory- it wasn't too far from the Gremory castle and Izana had to admit, she was able to find a willing victim quick enough.

Now according to Izana's plan, Grayfia would escape from the castle and start heading in the direction of that guy- Sirzechs was going to be there but the tea he had in the morning which was made by Seth was spiked by a pill which would reduce his Magical output.

Izana was confident in the fact that with Sirzechs's reduced magical output and Grayfia's intense full speed- she would be able to escape from the gaze of the Maou and the funny thing was that the Lucifer Maou was too nervous to care.

Izana stood on the Balcony beside his older brother and folded his hands as if waiting for something to happen-

"She usually sneaks out in broad daylight," Izana said, "Usually around Noontime, so it's not late,"

Sirzechs nodded and suddenly the both of them saw a blur whiz past the Gremory compound entirely, shooting forward at a speed that was hard to keep up with.

"Let's go," Izana said, jumping off the Balcony and releasing his Devil wings, their figures glistening with POD as Izana shot forward with Sirzechs behind him as they flew after Grayfia.

Grayfia's speed was not something to scoff at, she was propelling through the air at an amazing pace- she was aiming to get to the forest quickly and Izana couldn't help but agree, it might be a hassle to explain if she was delaying.

After all, Grayfia was supposed to be heading to her Lover's place quickly.

They neared the forest and the brothers were keeping a safe distance away from Grayfia.

"There's a forest ahead," Izana pointed out and Sirzechs nodded, Izana sighed slightly as Sirzechs still hadn't noticed that his magical energy was lagging a bit- Love truly made people blind and it had made Izana himself blind at some point.

And suddenly Grayfia vanished from their sight- it was so abrupt that even Izana had to blink twice before he realized she was gone.

'Shit- she's fast,'

She was so fast that all she had an afterimage in the air where she was supposed to be… He really didn't commend Grayfia enough for her skills.

"Don't worry, I'll find her," Sirzechs assured and began to spread his Magical energy- attempting to sense the Presence of Grayfia.

The pill was special, created for nullifying magical abilities of any kind- it lagged Magical energy to the point that they were not able to use any magical skills for about a week and Izana calculated that Sirzechs would only be affected today.

Izana honestly didn't know where Grayfia found it- Sirzechs's treasury perhaps?

But it was a great pill and now Sirzechs widened his eyes in confusion.

"I can't sense her," Sirzechs said, "Can you sense her energy?"

He had hope in his eyes but Izana immediately shattered it with his next words-

"You didn't teach me that, did you?" Izana asked, "Honestly I didn't know that Magic could be used like that,"

Sirzechs let out a sigh.

"We wasted a lot of time already," Sirzechs said, "She could be well on her way to her Lover's place,"

He turned around deflated and Izana wanted to grin like Kira- but he knew when to hold it back.

"Don't worry Big brother, I'll help you research more about this said lover," Izana said and Sirzechs nodded at his younger brother.

"Thank you,"

As they went back to the castle, Izana couldn't help but throw a glance at the forest- the next time he came here, It would be burned down to the ground.

--

It had been a week and Sirzechs noticed Grayfia had been making scheduled exits from the castle- her speed a blurring unfathomable force that threatened to even throw him off sometimes.

He leaned against the wall of the Balcony.

"Wonder what Izana has been cooking up?" Sirzechs muttered under his breath.

He should have known better than entrusting a child like Izana with this- but there was something about him, a kind of energy that shrouded him maybe… that forced the Maou to think otherwise.

He still couldn't help but shiver when Izana had mentioned killing the man for the first time, it had made him quite anxious… Grayfia usually stayed out for an hour or two and Sirzechs could see her returning, but she was not as fast as she originally was and she had a horrified look on her face as she approached the Maou.

"Sirzechs, the forest… it's on fire," Grayfia relayed the information and Sirzechs stood there as billowing smoke rolled into the air from the distance- did Izana truly do it?

--

[Roughly 15 Minutes Earlier]

Izana made his way through the forest, it had already been a week now and he decided to kill off the man- Grayfia didn't come out to this forest to hide, she actually met him once or twice and shared a cup of tea too but anything above being acquaintances was thrown out the window.

He had cloaked his magical levels to avoid getting detected by the devil and decided to do it the old fashioned way… sprinting around the forest. He had made a silent promise to burn this forest down and he wouldn't fail to do so.

If the inn was located solely in the center of the forest, Izana would have dropped by from the sky and dealt with the devil immediately but it was hidden within the thick bushes and trees, Izana was sure he would find it in some more minutes… After all, he had been following the directions Grayfia gave him and within his estimations, Grayfia would take about 15 minutes to reach the Gremory household- cruising at her average speed of course.

'15 minutes will be more than enough,' Izana muttered under his breath as he went through another thicket yet again and sighting a wooden house- despite being crafted by wood and leaves, it was well invented.

Izana leapt onto a tree branch and admired the wooden house, his eyes tracing along every line before he pointed his hand toward the house only for his eyes to turn to the right and find the devil that had been conversing with Grayfia-

Izana didn't understand what reason a human would have to leave a relatively simple civilization like the Devil civilization and head to the forest but he thought they ought to look kept in a way- this devil had waist-length black hair and glowing crimson eyes with two devil wings protruding from his back.

Izana could sense Murderous intent coming from the Devil and he grinned- this would be his first official battle against an adversary and he could already sense he was ridiculously stronger than the said opponent.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" The devil asked only for Izana to appear right behind him, hands tucked in his pockets and his crimson hair flowing in the forest breeze.

"I believe you are not in the position to ask questions," Izana replied and smirked cockily, "But if you must know- I guess I am the man that's going to kill you,"

The Devil didn't say anything and swung his body to the side erratically, his fist thrusting rapidly through the air like a terrifying gust only for it to be caught effortlessly by the shorter boy.

"Not only do your clothes, hair and body look raggedy- your smell… It's disgusting," Izana said as he turned to face the man and aimed a kick at the man's stomach.

The kick connected and the devil sprung backward under the intense force of the Kick, yet his body bucked back forward as Izana was still holding his arm- saliva rolled down his mouth as Izana grinned and landed a punch packed with destructive power on the face of the Devil.

The punch was so powerful that the Devil was sent reeling backward and crashing into a tree, he staggered quickly as he felt unbearable pain- his eyes focused on Izana's dominant figure which was still holding his right arm.

"F- Fuck!" He cried out as his eyes widened in alarm, blood erupting from the stub where his right arm used to be.

Izana saw the blood gush but he couldn't feel any less remorse- this man was nothing more than a figurehead… this man's death meant his continued life and Izana couldn't feel any guilt.

"I thought you were going to be stronger," Izana said, "But in the end, it seems like I underestimated you,"

Izana raised his palms forward and clasped them within each other, a searing heat engulfing the battleground as he withdrew his right palm- a trail of crimson flames adorning it as he quickly situated his left palm in front, drawing upon the trail of flames like it was an arrow.

"Fuga,"

After that single word, Izana released the hold his right palm had over the arrow of flames and it shot forward, impaling the Devil and the wooden house in one go- the heat around the forest skyrocketed as an explosion of flames occurred, so powerful that they literally engulfed the entire forest within the searing heat…

Yet despite the disastrous onslaught of flames, Izana remained unscathed as he walked out of the burning forest and headed in the southern direction- all the while cloaking his energy to prevent instant detection from Sirzechs. His methods might have been unorthodox but they got the job done quickly and easily.

Izana sighed as he finally settled down, recovering the valuable MP he had used while firing a spell of such caliber.

'Still isn't enough to destroy Shibuya,' Izana thought in disappointment.
