Switching location to my house we are sitting at my dinner table having a meal I threw together as she tells me more in-depth about her enemies and why she wants them dead sooner rather than later. she indirectly is confirming all the information I already knew and the location where I can find important people and items. Sabrina her half-sister is in the bloody vine estate in the dark shadow empire married to someone important and that should be where I find Freya. I should have someone summon me there any day now when they make it there so I can teleport back and forth to scout it out and plan the abduction of Kia's mom. she also lets me know just how jumpy Broc is and when there is a chance to kill she has to take it or she may never get another chance.

"Well I can help with both Sabrina and Broc, Sabrina has Kia's mom and I plan to rescue her but I have a plan for Sabrina. I want to reincarnate her as a slave and have her get me into crystal valley where the crystal dragon is since he has some important items." I need to get to Jacob to steal the ancient rune tablets for Zola with her knowledge of runes she will probably teach me if I trade them for it if she won't take me in without them. but with Bune, I doubt she would just kick me out but there is always the chance. "also with Broc I am planning to ambush him later down the line when he tries to steal the other half of the artifact from his sister." Isabella is shocked at the plans I already had for the people she wants to kill and then she looks a bit confused.

"Delia has the other half of the artifact? how do you even know this and when is he ambushing her?"

"Not yet, a place that stores the artifact will open and Delia is going to get it and Broc is sure to follow to steal it but I could be wrong." I guess it doesn't hurt to tell her about Paglio at this point. "The owner of the place she is going is a poison dragon I have a symbiotic contract with and I am going to meet her there and help her get it so she will succeed this time and I don't doubt Broc will be following on the off chance she does get in since its no secret she is looking for the artifact." Izzy nods but seems to be in deep thought.

"And when he does ambush her you will be there and summon me to help?" she asks but I can see the desire to kill him herself practically flaming in her gaze.

"Yea I will summon you but remember Delia is owed her chunk of flesh as well with all the torment he has put her through." Izzy waits for me to elaborate, seems she doesn't know which is kind of odd. "it's not my place to spread her personal business but I can tell you that she is soul shackled to him, and it's not a very pleasant experience. I would prefer if you didn't mention it to her though and let her talk about it on her own since I only know from my ability to sense the soul shackle." she doesn't ask anymore but agrees to let Delia get her share so long as she gets hers.

"Other than that how are you planning to rob a dragon in crystal valley it is the main base for blood fall and there are multiple demon overlords, is the poison dragon going to help?" hehe, if only she knew I plan on having Catherine show up and melt them all down into slag, assuming my meeting goes well with her.

"He will be there most likely at that time, but I will have another for assurance of the plan working." she looks doubtful. "no need to worry Izzy, I just tied the knot with you I don't plan on dying for a long time!" she snorts but its mainly in amusement.

"And your confident in your plan to enslave Sabrina?" I think about it and realize now that Izzy is my ally I could always ask her to help me and she gets to kill her half-sister once at least before I bring her back as a slave.

"Actually if you could help, I can summon you when I confront her and you can kill her. maybe no crack though since I don't know if I can revive someone in tiny pieces." I haven't tested reviving a dead person but hopefully, it's like the show where if I do it shortly after death it will work. if it worked on any dead I could revive a lot of old corpses but I doubt that's the case.

"Ok I would like that actually, getting some real combat in will be nice with these new powers and my elevated strength. if I focus on improving my territory I can probably break through to demon overlord shortly but probably not before you move on Sabrina." with Izzy's help Sabrina is as good as secured, and with that, both Freya and a way into the crystal valley are gained.

"So how long do you think it will take you to get me into the vault where the sword of the fallen angel is?" With Shea teetering on the edge of being demon emperor I am soon going to reincarnate her and then with the sword it's only a short time till she gets to demon overlord herself. and now that I think about it will Shea gain the lucifer trait from DxD when I do reincarnate her? if so then she will be surprising the whole demon world when the war comes and she is spamming spears of black light. and people will probably think it is just a mutation of the black flames that are a lucifer trait, that will work out perfectly for a cover story on the surface.

"When I get back I can always get in there pretty easy by ' finding ' some mechanic master and having them look at the sword for a way to unlock it for Obsidian. he is desperate and will jump on any chance to wield it to kill Shea's claim to the throne." I nod and as I am about to speak the front door opens.

"Nova! are you here?" Athena's voice calls out.

"In here!" she rounds the corner giving me a bright smile and then notices the guest and looks shocked.

"What's going on? I went looking for you before I located your signature like you taught me at home. I thought maybe you came to take a nap or something I didn't know you would be having a guest." she looks over at Isabella and seems confused before she recognizes the demonic energy and her jaw drops. "you reincarnated Isabella?!" Izzy laughs and I reach out and grab Athena's hand before pulling her into my lap.

"Yea she joined up for some personal reasons and is going to be helping out, she will be going back to the capital and helping me with a few plans." Athena recovers and begins to ask Izzy questions about how she feels after converting. later Kia arrives and is even more surprised to see Isabella since they both technically work or worked for the same secret organization, but she also joins in and asks them about their experience of being reincarnated. as soon as I can I plan to enslave Sabrina, and save Freya and reincarnate Kia, knowing this she is very curious about what it's like.

Sitting across from Shea I work out the math on my current sin total and what I should roughly have by the time I meet with Catherine if it is within the next week to two weeks. after buying a set of black potions and a queen for Izzy I no longer have enough to buy a mutant queen and a set of black potions for Catherine. it's not a big problem since I would rather be efficient and have them drink the potions once before reincarnating just so they can also drink again after for max profits. this is still assuming though that my theory of black potions working again like devil fruits holds true, I would rather be wrong on this that not try and miss out on easy gains.

Because I am lacking the funds for both a set of potions and a mutant piece I will just buy her a normal one. I am assuming that the pieces are working on a different system akin to how the original contract boosts work since I can have multiple queens so using a normal queen should still work even though Catherine is multiple times stronger than I currently am. but that also leaves some funds available to buy Shea a queen piece because she reached demon emperor, I also want to test if she will receive a trait as Izzy did or if that was triggered by something else.

Buying a queen leaving me enough sin left to buy a set of potions and another queen I summon the queen from my inventory and set it Infront of Shea. she admires the ominous red glow it's giving off before hesitantly picking it up.

"This is the item you used to turn others into devils?" I just give a nod in affirmation and she hums as she looks it over in curiosity. "and it will also give me a boost in all aspects such as speed power and spirit?"

"No it will get rid of spirit power and you will gain demonic energy but yes it will be boosted from your current base. as well as a chance for a new power like Isabella got from hers, I am quite curious if it has something to do with the demon's royal blood or not." she sets the piece down before crossing her arms but never taking her eyes off of it.

"Crack huh? from what you told me it is very powerful and also versatile."

"Yours won't be crack if my theory is right it should be evil light brilliance or black light. I can't remember the correct name for it if I am honest but it functions as a light element that is attuned to dark element. so it does damage to both even if they have resistances or weaknesses to it. kind of the perfect trait for the leading devil to have from where I am from since both allies and enemies would fear it." Shea is surprised and even looks a bit excited at the idea of having a power that would be effective on both demons and humans alike. too bad the abyss isn't super weak to light or it would be the perfect all-around trait for attacking. "it also will be fine to use it publicly as well since you could say it's your dark flames mutated or something like that."

"Even better is the chance of it affecting the power of light-dark heart, if it's a light with darkness element I am likely to be able to use it with light-dark heart for different effects." I can't believe I forgot about that skill it's supposed to be one of her family's strongest buffs and it also devours powers to enhance further. I think it also can be used to cast a seal on someone to keep them weakened, that's what's on Paglio at least keeping him locked in the blue lake. It's also the reason I can't use worthless to at least break the first seal on Paglio to leave the lake, the lock was set by someone about to reach the first tier into the god bracket.

"That's a good point, alright since we are both ready you just need to confirm you are willing to be my queen." she scrunches her nose but confirms nonetheless, after I accept her the piece lifts and a similar scene from yesterday replays as the piece dives in-between her breasts and sinks into her skin.
