2 Chapter 2

As it turns out, having full mental faculties as a newborn child was not a pleasant experience.

Shocker I know.

Being a literal shitting machine and not being able to move or see much for a couple of months was literal hell.

Thankfully unlike humans, the biology of Devils is much advanced and all it took for me to start walking was 5 months' worth of self-inflicted torture.

Though to be honest. I don't know if that was because of the essences or being a devil that allowed that to happen.

Either way, that period of my life is dead and buried deep into the recess of my mind. Not forgotten(I don't have that luxury anymore), but ignored with extreme prejudice.

Other than that, I liked my new life.

I mean what's there not to like?

I am a devil, one of if not the most overpowered species to ever exist just by proxy of them being able to fuck reality over by just their imagination. And as a bonus, I was born into a family that is rich as fuck, with the power to literally destroy anything.

Safe to say I was happy.

That was until I sneaked into the library one night while everyone was sleeping.

The goal of my expedition was to find out what time period I was in, and the events that happened in the past decade and/or are happening currently that I could get my little hands on.

Walking through the hallways on the frankly ridiculous crimson-colored marble floors (Gremory's are apparently obsessed with the color red. I wouldn't dare to guess as to why such a phenomenon exists.) I reached my destination a large crimson-colored door with golden runic patterns all over it depicting images of stereotypical devils. Pitchfork, horns, and all.

Interestingly enough the door didn't have any door handles.

Sighing at the unnecessary show of power and wealth( then again they are devils) I placed my small two-year-old hands on the door and gently pushed. The door opened with not even a squeak

I wasn't surprised that the door that looked like it weighed at least a couple of tons was so easy to open, all the doors in the Germory castle were like that. They all looked like it would take a couple of hundreds of people to open, but in actuality, all you need is to be a Gremory or a servant and opening multi-ton behemoths they called doors would be easy as gilding your hand against air.

The none existent click of my shoes on the red carpet announced my arrival and my eyes were bombarded by hundreds of thousands of shelves containing an absurd amount of books. What's even funnier was that was just the first floor if I crank my neck up I can see that there are six more floors.

It would have probably taken me a couple of days just to find the topic of books I am looking for, thankfully there is a library catalog sorted alphabetically.

It took me a couple of minutes doing nothing but walking to find the history section in the library. Once I made it there I started looking for the most recent book I can find just so I can know where in the timeline I am. I of course knew that in terms of the canon timeline I was born after the great war and definitely before the civil war, but I would like to actually know the exact date I was born in.

Sure I could have asked my parents or any servant for the date even if it would be weird for a two-year-old to ask that, but I most definitely cannot ask anything about the current events, that would just be too ridiculous to accept from a two-year-old.

To be fair though I have a reputation for being an odd child already. Odd in "gee you're ridiculously smart for your age" not in "Do you have a mental disorder?" way. The amount of magic I possess doesn't help either, I overheard my parents talking about how I already possess high ultimate class reserves.

Which was technically untrue. I possess more, I just have such tight control over my magic that what can be sensed by people(devils) is only fragments of my true prowess.

After a couple of minutes of trying to find the most recent book, I finally found what I was looking for.

"Recent happenings around the world. The past decade and now." by Lady Leviathan.

The unimaginative and frankly boring title aside, the name Lady Leviathan completely derailed the timeline. From just that one name I could already come up with several conclusions.

Well, I am either in an Alternate universe where I was born after Serafall was or I am still in an alternate universe except the four original great satans are still alive or at least Leviathan is.

Considering that the last time I saw Lady Sitri she was supporting a baby bump it's safe to say I was born a couple of years before the great war or the war was already happening and I didn't know anything about it.

Plus my father hasn't been called in for war, and the fact that the servants around the castle are not panicky or queasy it's pretty fair to assume that the war hasn't happened yet or it did in the past and the devils won.

Or Lady Leviathan might actually be one of the original leviathan's descendants. Who was the one that Ajuka killed again? I think her name was Tsufaame?

But you know what they say about making assumptions. So without further ado, I opened the black four hundred page book and began reading.

Thankfully essence of the mad doctor helped me read the several hundred thousand word books in a couple of seconds, and oh boy am I surprised.

First, I am definitely in an alternate universe. Second, the great war did in fact happen already and ended a couple of years ago. Third, all sides of the war got royally fucked, worse than what happened in canon, and lastly, the devils are fucked.

Sighing I closed the book, put it back on the shelf, and began walking back to my room my thoughts in a whirlwind.

From what I gathered from the book while the great war did take place the same as canon but instead of the Great Satans and God dying they instead all disappeared minus Leviathan because of reasons that were not disclosed.

Oh and apparently Micheal and Gabriel are nowhere to be found.

You would think that would be pretty awesome for the devils even though they also lost three out of four satans but no sirree! The devils are facing a much bigger problem a problem that is red, big, and has six eyes.

'Trigon! Fucking Trigon. Who the fuck decided to mix up DXD with The D.C universe? A titty anime with one of the most dangerous universes ever created? Why couldn't it be Marvel man? I would take marvel over D.C.' I despaired.

Apparently once Lucifer( which now that I think about it is probably Lucifer from the DC universe..) said fuck it and disappeared, Trigon decided to hey? Why not fuck with some devils and enslave them? and now we are facing literal armies of demons(they apparently are different than devils) on a daily basis with the only thing stopping them from completely annihilating us is Trigon being a Big bad and letting his minions die first before finally attacking at the end, and Lady Levithain taking the full brunt of the attacks so far.

Now I really wanna know why no one around the fucking castle seems to give any fucks.

At least I now know the date. 1100 AD, definitely an alternate universe then. Sirzechs was not born anywhere near that date.

Sighing for what felt like the thousandth time today I stopped walking towards the exit, I decided to look for more books to read before heading back to bed before anyone wakes up.

Looking around I saw some books that I wonder how I missed.

"Guardians of the Universe"

"The New and Old Gods"

"Darkseid"

"The Endless"

I palmed my face in exasperation.

"Fuck me dude I ain't old enough for this shit."

-----

Timeskip.

School as most would agree with is hell. A legal prison for kids where the guards inflict unimaginable mental torture on poor defenseless children. Thankfully as a devil, I was spared of such torture courtesy of my wonderful parents who decided to teach me themselves.

Math, Science, History you name it and I have been re-taught, so much so that I surpassed my previous level of education by literal centuries.

I was surprised when I found out the level of technology Devils have compared to what canon showed us. I was astonished to find out that Devils not only have complete control over the weather in the underworld but over all forms of energy the underworld produced, effectively making them a Tier 1 civilization(well almost). I was even more amazed to find out they did this using science and not magic.

Then again if they did use solely magic they would be more overpowered than they already are.

Speaking of magic, Devil magic is bullshit to the highest fucking degree.

I know I already said that a couple of times already, and I know I am starting to sound like a broken record, but like holy fucking shit, if I didn't already know just how bullshit Trigon, the angels, and pretty much everything in DC is I would find it ludicrous that devils aren't the rulers of the universe.

If I would have to compare what devil magic is capable of, I would compare it to Franklin Richards Mentifery.

How bullshit you are though depends on your imagination and power.

Snapping back from my thoughts I decided to focus on what my father was saying instead of relying on parallel processing.

"The reason why Devils use magic circles is twofold. First, it's much easier to impart a spell into a magic circle and then call upon it mid-battle." He stopped to see if I paying attention before continuing his lecture " For example, say you want to make a fireball, you would first have to imagine a flame in the shape of a ball, its size, its temperature, and its color before you would be able to cast it. Sure that wouldn't take more than a second or two, but in a life and death situation seconds are crucial for your survival, it's much simpler and faster to use a magic circle than having to imagine the spell. With me so far?" My father asked me from his desk where he was sitting.

I nodded in reply from my place across from him. My right hand on the desk supporting my head.

Since I just turned three, today was the day I was supposed to start learning magic. My father was already been droning on for the last couple of hours on the basics of devil's magic, right now he was 'teaching' me about devil magic circles.

He really isn't teaching me anything I didn't already know. Archmage is op like that.

"However, devils with sufficient power can forgo having to imagine how a fireball is made and just brute force it into existence. Though that isn't really something you should rely on, mostly because the more you imagine the more powerful it is and the less power it takes to will stuff into existence. For example, if you imagine the process of combustion instead of a flame at first the more powerful, and hotter the fireball would be for less the amount of mana needed otherwise. Of course, it goes without saying that the more magic you feed the spell the bigger the fireball." My father added.

Readjusting my seating position I crossed my arms together and leaned back on my chair trying not to show my boredom. I already knew everything my father was saying.

"And the second reason?" I asked him, already knowing the answer.

"Mana conservation. Magic circles can be programmed to essentially cover 'information about what makes a spell so instead of you having to supply more power to make the fireball hotter or bigger the magic circle could have a preset size and temperature so you don't need to waste power. Now give me your hand." Father asked his left hand outstretched.

Pushing my chair back I stood from my desk and made my way towards my father before placing my right hand facing down into his left palm.

My father smiled at me reassuringly then placed his right-hand millimeters on top of my own effectively encasing my hand in his.

I felt it before I saw it, his magic rushed towards his right hand before bubbling and forming a crimson circle with a rose encased in a circular shape, the magic circle then sank into my skin before disappearing from view.

In those milliseconds Archmage already showed me the steps my father took that resulted in the creation of the magic circle and how he imparted it into me.

"Concentrate on your right palm, try and imagine the family crest inside a circle" My father instructed.

Doing as he said a crimson circle appeared above my palm spinning hypnotically.

My father blinked in slight astonishment.

"Excellent Sirzechs! This is our house magic circle, In time I'll teach you how to impart a magic circle to others, for now, today's lesson is over you can go ahead and eat with your mother before going to bed I have got some work to do so I won't be able to join you both" He said kissing my on the cheek before ushering me away.

"Thanks, Father" I nodded turning on my heels, opening the frankly ridiculously colored crimson door, and leaving his office, my thoughts now focusing on what type of magic I can 'invent"(steal from other mediums).

'Hmm, I always did like Mahouka, Decomposition and Regrowth always fascinated me.'

I was laying on my bed when my mother knocked on my door.

"Siri~, come out someone would like to meet you~" My mother's voice called out from the other side of the crimson-colored door of my bedroom.

Embarrassing name aside(God, anyone who owns an iPhone would be laughing their asses off if they heard someone being called that unironically) I decided to not act like I was sleeping and answer my mother.

"Coming mother" I called out.

I stood from the bed, kicking the crimson-covered covers away from me before conjuring a simple white shirt and black pants, too lazy to walk all the way to the dressing room and change.

Putting on the slippers that were in front of my bed I made my way towards the door idly scanning who was on the other side of it, other than my mother.

'Ah, so I guess it's time to finally meet him, I was wondering when it would happen

Placing my hand on the crimson-colored behemoth of a door I pushed the door outwards only to see my mother and a small boy my age with green hair and light blue eyes.

Ajuka Astaroth.

-------

Timeskip

I didn't think I would get see to her so soon.

Still, I would be lying if I said I mind. It took me a bit though to figure out who she was at first. She looked nothing like what she looked like in canon.

Sure she still had her most defining feature, her sliver hair, but her facial structure and hairstyle were vastly different than what she looked like in the anime, however they can be explained with her just being younger than in canon.

Honestly, I am glad that I decided to come to this shitty-ass party instead of lazing around(Is it laziness though if I am actually increasing my powers while I slept?) in bed for the rest of the day.

Really "Youth Devil Gathering" as they liked to call right now is nothing more than the Satan clan's way of asserting their dominance on the 72 pillars heirs. Really the only reason I bothered showing up to this facade of a gathering was that I heard that for the first time in a while the Lucifer heir was going to make an appearance, and everyone knows where ever Lucifer goes so does a Lucifuge.

Still, I would have thought that it would be Euclid instead of her, but then again Euclid was here, she was just with him.

Got to say I wasn't impressed with Rizevim, sure his power is ridiculous compared to pretty much everybody here save for Ajuka(and even then Ajuka is still more powerful than him), but that's it, all he has is ludicrous amounts of demonic power, and from what Archmage is telling me he doesn't even have the Lucifer clan's abilities.

Shame I wanted to copy it. That was if there was actually a Lucifer clan trait.

I doubt it.

Lucifer from the DC universe is nigh-omnipotent. He literally doesn't have power but all the powers, so the chance any Lucifer gets one power or more specifically any unique clan trait from Lucifer is ludicrous to think. The more likely option to occur is the least likely to actually occur which is Rizevim getting Lucifer's nigh-omnipotence or at least somewhere close to it.

Which is impossible since I can quite clearly sense just how weaker he is to me, and I know for a fact Lucifer can easily flick me out of existence.

He doesn't even have his sacred gear canceller either yet, which wouldn't really affect any devil right now.

Would have been cool though if he had that fanon Lucifer power of canceling divine powers.

Hmm, something to work on with Archmage I guess.

"Mah this is so boring~," Serafall said from beside me her black braids whirling in agitation as she moved her head from side to side.

A colossal beast of a man standing behind the petite Sitri heiress rubbled.

"I know right, I just want to go back to sleep. What is the point of all this?" Falbium commented running a hand through his brownish-colored hair.

A young man with green-haired and light blue eyes replied

"Seems like the members of the Satan families are all obsessed with showing their power to the young generation of devils," Ajuka said his tone monotone.

Sighing(I have been doing that a lot lately), I moved from my spot next to Ajuka and made my way towards the bar to get me a drink, and then make my way towards Grayfia, however, in the process, I ended up drawing many eyes towards me.

It was no secret that I was unusually powerful for someone my age, that and the fact that I always refused to attend any 'social meetings' made me somewhat of an enigma to the residents of the underworld.

But of course, before I could even make it halfway towards the bar a commotion started.

A young man close to my age maybe sixteen or seventeen with brown hair and brown eyes was standing above another young man who was kneeling in fear.

"Is that all you have?!" the young man shouted who judging by his aura was a part of the Beelzebub family, probably a branch member.

Already a couple of devils were gathering around to enjoy the show. I could see a couple of people from the Levithan and Asmodeus families grinning in sadistic pleasure.

"I am sorry milord, but a plague hit our plantations and w-" he didn't get to finish what he was going to say before a fist hit him square in the chest sending him flying all the way to the other side room. He hit the magically reinforced wall causing cracks to appear all across it.

The poor guy slid down the wall coughing up blood with a fist-sized hole in his abdomen slowly regenerating.

If he was human he would be dead already, but devils are tough sons of bitches. Even the weakest of the weak could probably survive a mountain collapsing on them, and when I say weak I don't mean low-class devils, but children. Says a lot about just how powerful that punch is huh.

The cherry on top of this is I know for a fact that the dude was holding back immensely, if he punched with all his might he would have destroyed this whole coliseum and then some, he probably held back so as to not destroy the coliseum, and ruin the party, that and to not one-shot the poor Oricas and end his suffering.

Something that I noticed pretty quickly, was the devils are way more powerful than they were portrayed in the anime. Sure in the anime devils are pretty damn strong, with Issei being able to blow up mountains as a low-class devil, however here devils are insanely strong. So strong in fact that I would wager that a low-class devil could probably destroy a whole country easily.

"Excuses! Stand Up! I said get up! Show me what you can do! Otherwise, how do you hope to defend the future of the Underworld with power as pathetic as yours! The dude said laughing maniacally all the while.

'Mate you didn't even let him finish talking let alone even fight the fuck are you talking about?' I thought exasperated.

"Ugh…" The guy stood up hesitantly before calling on his magic, he knew that if he didn't fight the Beelzebub descendent he would be in a world of pain even worse than the beating he was about to get.

"Yes! That's it! Come at me with all you got!" The brown-haired battle maniac shouted in sadistic glee running towards the poor guy at blitzing speeds appearing as a blur to the naked eye. He appeared behind the still recovering lad, took hold of the back of his head, and proceed to indent his head into the nearest wall over and over again laughing all the while.

Ignoring the beat down that was happing I focused my attention on what the peanut gallery was talking about, wanting to find out what triggered the young psychopath.

"What did the heir of Oricas do to a member of the great Beelzebub family to warrant this?" A young woman asked another young woman from the upper level of the coliseum

The upper levels of the coliseum were reserved for the members of the Satan families and the six houses of Lucifer.

Apparently, the descendants of the Satans view all devils, including the 72 pillars as not authentic devils so they get special privileges like that.

Chuckling in demented satisfaction, the young woman replied " Heh, the gift he sent was not the same quality as the one he sent the year previously, it would seem the only excuse he can come up with was that his crops didn't grow as well as they expected, hah!"

"Hahaha! Is that so? Well, now it makes sense! He should be taught a lesson to properly make sure his lands are under management so he can gift the great Beelzebub family a present worth their great stature and majesty, he deserves to be punished! " The one that asked the question cackled.

What is this a wuxia novel? What's next? Should I be expecting devils to now spout stuff like 'You're courting death!' or something?

I looked in the opposite direction of the coliseum where Rizevim sat alone on his throne, only to see him nodding off into sandman's realm. Euclid standing next to him like a good dog.

Of course. He wouldn't care.

Rizevim never directly took over the government or the military. Instead, he chose to delegate that work to others. So, the one who had authority over the Underworld is Lady Leviathan. If we ignore the fact that Hades is actually the true ruler of the underworld.

What I found funny though is that all of the Satan heirs are called just that, heirs. Even though the original satans are all missing in action, and are presumed dead. All but the original Leviathan is considered a Satan, the rest are still called heirs.

I am pretty sure though I know where Lucifer is if I was to use DC canon.

Micheal? I have an idea. Would also explain why the Angels are so weakened.

Still shouldn't Gabriel be almost as powerful as Micheal and Lucifer? Why the fuck do devils still exist then?

Back to the beat down, I saw that the heir of the Oricas family actually managed to escape the young psychopath's grip on his head by flaring his magical power in such a way that it caused an explosion, in the process also managing to cut the cheek of the unnamed Beelzebub family member.

'Got to give it to him, the bastard is tough. Took what amounted to a C4 explosion to the face and only came out with a cut to his cheek. Also how the fuck is Rizevim still asleep?' My exasperation at the Lucifer heir aside, I noticed how everyone in the coliseum suddenly became deathly quiet.

'Of course, going my wuxia/aristocracy logic harming a member of the Satan's family is considered an unforgivable act' I sighed again.

The psychopathic Beelzebub in surprise stroked his cheek with his finger, seeing blood on it his expression turned ugly.

"You...you! You dare! You little bitch! You simple noble! You dare make me bleed! A descendant of a Satan!?" He roared before covering the heir of Oriacs in his magic essentially trying to crush him under his magic.

Called it

If I remember correctly it was Sirzechs interference in saving the Oricas heir which made the Satans faction send Grayfia to monitor him.

Hm, guess I have no choice then.

I spread a minuscule amount of my aura to completely swallow the coliseum turning the surroundings into the deepest of black, indicating my use of the power of destruction.

If I didn't have perfect control over my magic everything my aura had touched would have been erased from existence, instead, I only forced on the psychopathic Beelzebub's magic and

it from existence. I could have erased his magic completely from him, but that would honestly be too much of a hassle and not what I wanted.

I wanted to show my overwhelming power just enough that the Satan faction become weary of me to the point they appoint Grayfia as my overseer, but not to the point where they view me as an enemy.

Sure I had the power currently to nuke the underworld out of existence if I wanted too and thus no one can really cause me trouble(except fucking Trigon). However, I just want to live my life in self-indulgence without nuisances popping up.

I of course knew that there is a chance they would choose someone else other than Grayfia to be my overseer(Elucid being one of them) even with canon being on my side, but all I would have to do to circumvent that is to just mess with their minds using magic or just outright demand for Grayfia.

A second after my magic completely surrounded the coliseum I pulled it back like it was never there before leaving all the people that understood what I have just done dumbfounded and if I am reading their expressions right scared out of their minds.

The feat of surrounding the whole of the coliseum in my magic isn't really that impressive, most devils could do that, no what was impressive was my control over the power of destruction to the point that I could outright nullify its inherent effect of destroying everything it touches and render it harmless enough to not erase everything from existence but just what I wanted it to erase. That's basically impossible to do for any member of the Bael clan, hell it's impossible to do that with just about any magic there is. That and everyone could feel that the aura I just let out was just a fraction of my true strength.

And the fact I was only 16.

After pulling back my magic, there was a deadly silence in the coliseum. No one spoke, no one moved, even the heir of Oricas who just got beat almost to death was deadly silent not even a whimper of pain escaped his mouth. Even the various ultimate class devils in attendance didn't dare and move. They were all in a state of primal fear, where the body freezes in the hope the predator ignores you and moves on.

The psychopathic Beelzebub who got the full concentrated amount of my aura was catatonic, frozen in fear.

"Well chaps, I think that just about enough," I said my accent breaking through the silence.

Funnily enough once I started talking my parents commented how odd my accent was compared to them, and to this day they are still confused about just how I developed such a different accent than them.

Thankfully that wasn't the only shit they were confused about when it comes to me, nor is it the most confusing thing, so they pretty much just chalked it up to being the freak on nature I am.

Speaking of being a freak of nature. I noticed a perverse gaze on me. I didn't even need to use telepathy or to look to know who it was. Damn the sliver bastard has issues. The dude probably now thinks I am the type of devil he loves to keep preaching about.

Which to be fair, I am not far off that mark. I just don't revel in evil.

I'd like to think I am a chaotic neutral type of dude.

"Yo-" The Beelzebub dude broke out of his stupor and went to speak however before he can finish the rest of his syllable I used an infinitesimally small burst of conqueror's Haki, rendering him unconscious.

Infinite willpower for the win.

The perverse gaze boring through my back increased even more after that.

' Damn bro, I feel like the dude is about to sexually harass me if I don't leave soon

I made my way towards the still frozen in fear of Oricas heir, who I honestly had no plans of learning his name.

Otherwise, I would have just used Telepathy and learned it.

Noticing how I was coming towards him the Oricas heir broke out of his fear-induced state.

" H-h-h-heir Gremory thank you fo-" I cut out his stuttering by placing my hand on top of his head.

He went stiff as a board and I honestly think he stopped breathing.

Yeah, he stopped breathing.

Wouldn't do anything to him honestly, devils don't need to breathe.

"Relax mate, I won't kill you" I intoned, before sending out a small amount of magic(to me) into his body and forcibly healing him of his injuries.

He would have healed on his own in a minute or two but I needed the publicity, to be honest.

That and the fucking silver-haired bitch of a Lucifer thinks I am like him, and I need to do something 'good' so he can lay off.

I let him go then, and the man sagged into himself like a foldable chair in relief.

Damn bro, I ain't that scary.

I looked around the room noticing that people still are in a state of shock. Well except Ajuka who was just shaking his head at my antics like usual.

'Come on people it ain't that fucking serious'

Sure, I showed an absurd amount of power and control for someone my age, and yes I went against one of the Beelzbubs but like damn these are centuries-old devils, they should at least have some self-control.

'Welp I did what I came here to do time to peace out'

"Well, lads this was fun. You should invite me next time you'll decide to host a party. I may or may not come through"

Having said my piece I waved Ajuka goodbye and winked out of existence.

Appearing straight into my room.

Now I just have to wait and Grayfia should be arriving at my doorstep.

Man, I am doing way too much to get a girl. Could have just chatted her up like a normal person.

But then again. Fuck being normal.
