Chapter 39
A group consisting of several humans and some yokai were moving through the unforgiving corridors of the dungeon.
"Huff... Huff... Come on guys, we're about to reach the resting room." Said the leader of the group.
They have just been facing acid-spitting monsters that came out of horror movies and barely survived. While not dying permanently is a major benefit since lifespan could be restored with Senjutsu now that Japan is clear of Malice, no one likes the sensation of death.
"Boss, watch out!" The scout of the group a human with sensory sacred gear yelled in terror as the leader lost his head.
A figure descended on the group, a fluffy looking sheep walking on its two legs was crunching on the head.
[Sheeptar the Sheep King!]
None of them survived the encounter...
..
I am watching Fou manage the dungeon, the controls manifest in the form of a small console that is suited to his size, alongside an adjustable screen to watch what's going on.
Currently, we're watching a group moving on after their fight with Xenomorph monsters from Alien vs Predator. The live feed gives more options for little Fou to turn things into hell.
They're about to reach safety but nope Fou just pressed the 'Sudden Boss' button killing them off. I look at him questioningly only for him to point out the screen.
There were six people in the group but only five were respawned, meaning one of them wasn't allowed there. I sigh in relief that Fou isn't becoming sadistic towards others.
"Fou! Fou!"(Translation: Better watch your back in the dungeon *evil Cath Palug noises*)

"Huh, I never played golf before. But are you sure about this Ravel?" I turn to Ravel, she's wearing an outrageous outfit. "I figured you'd want a meal in a romantic setting."
"Well, we can have that later." She smiles at the idea before she frowns. "My parents reserved this whole place for themselves but something came up."
"Oh, I hope it isn't anything bad."
"Well, Riser nii-sama had an arranged marriage but ever since he and Mio started dating he wanted to cancel it. They are dealing with that." Ravel reveals, shocking me.
"Truly? He is choosing one redhead over another?" Damn, Mio's plot armor must be thick.
"Well, Mio despite being a tsundere loves my brother. Rias on the other hand..." She goes to speak but decides against it. "Let's not bad mouth satan's sister." (AN: Keep in mind that Ravel doesn't know Rias personally. So her impression is meh...)
"Arranged marriages are stupid anyway, especially if you're a devil." I say, Ravel looks at me in shock. "What? Your whole race is about being chaotic and rebelling against the rules. Lilith would have killed herself if she was awake."
"I guess but we need more pure-blooded nobles..." She says as we enter the court and find the starting point.
"Then clone them, Sirzechs have a clone of Sutr in his Peerage, I saved an entire race by artificial insemination." Ravel places the golf ball and takes a position before hitting. "I doubt cloning devils or any other method would be hard especially with Ajuka around."
Huh, she got it in one. This is supernatural golf too, the hole is kilometers away.
"I guess, they wanted to convert talents or get Sacred Gears..." We move towards the hole to get her ball. "Or they wanted to keep slaves... I can't believe I am seeing the logic behind it." Ravel finishes my words with a mild surprise in her voice.
Finally reaching the hole Ravel gets on her fours and sticks out her butt as she retrieves the ball. "Ravel your panties are showing." I smile seeing her pink stripes.
"I know." She smiles.
Ravel changed a lot after watching me and Vali bang, I wasn't gentle with Vali since she is the Dragon of Supremacy. Which meant that I needed to fuck her silly until she passed out.
Ravel has been peeking at me and the others ever since despite knowing she was caught. It's not much of a secret at this point, others were okay with helping the little blonde learn. It doesn't mess her schedule neither since she's in the effective range of my time manipulation.
The rest of the game passes similarly with Ravel giving me various poses showing the glory of her body. She's hot and she's getting thirsty.
..
One of the Extra Demon clans that had served the Lucifer Clan for generations, the Nebiros is noted to excel at scientific research, being the leading clan in the Underworld that specialized in a variety of research subjects.
They are also the main family of the Naberius Family who did the Super Devil Experiments under the orders of Zaorama Nebiros.
Unfortunately, Zaorama has gone missing after the Devil Civil War and no one knows where he is, but the family still stands and they are not on New Satans' side.
My journey started with going through the minds of the important people of Naberius.
"I knew this was a waste of time but..." I turn to my partner in crime for this operation only to find her reminiscing. "Eh... Kuroka are you okay?"
"Ye... Yes, I just... I am fine." She struggles before giving me a 'smile'.
"I know it must be hard on you but once this day ends, the charges on your head will be dropped."
"Yes, thank you for doing this, I am grateful."
"Don't be I have my benefit from this." I wave her concerns away.
I already had to stop her from becoming my willing slave after we came back from Kanto. Let's hope she won't do something drastic after this.
As I said before, the hiding place of Zaorama is unknown, not even his family knows where he is but that didn't stop me from gathering evidence on them and posting it on DevilNet under Kuroka's account.
Yes, I am giving her the credit. I may not be gracing her with my glorious and perfectly sized di... Ahem, I want to help her because I get off on that shit. It's like completing a side quest with little to no reward because you had the time.
Finding Zaorama was bound to be boring and tedious, so I flashed my <Clairvoyance> and learned the location of his Research Facility. I want to get this over with before midnight.
Entering the building we found Zaorama beating his meat while whistling a nice tune. "Ahh, now we just need to marinate it. Cooking is truly an amazing hobby." Yes, he is cooking. He is living alone after all.
"Would you like to do the honors Kuroka?" I ask her. Kuroka nods and quickly knocks the guy out.
Once he was out like a light, I did some mind mumbo jumbo and extracted his knowledge from him. I redacted the important parts while leaving the experiment details and clear evidence of Nebiros family and its branches being traitors before uploading them through Kuroka's account.
"Will they let me be after this Merlin-sama?" Kuroka asks as she watches her follower count rise.
"Nope! But there's something sealed in this facility that will make them bend over to our whims." I smile at her confusion and move further in.
Once we reached the deepest part of the facility we came across a room filled with twelve black statues. The aura they are emitting is showing they're no mere decorations.
"What are those? It feels like I am looking at my own death." Kuroka mutters as she gazes on the Malebranche.
"They're called Malebranche Kuroka." I tell her while suppressing their aura to protect her.
Yes, Malebranche is otherwise known as Evil Claws or Satanic Arms(Heh!). They were made by original satans to oppose the Sacred Gears, the same material used to make the evil pieces were used in their making.
The wiki says even the original satans feared their power and opted to seal them, they weren't even used in Great War because Lucifer thought if he used them there won't be a world left to dominate and rule.
Anyway, they are living entities that can be turned into weaponry and used after merging with a devil. You either need to convince them to share their power or beat them into submission... How similar to Devil Arms.
They're currently sealed, waiting for the day all the Longinus users would gather up. Once that's done they will awaken and fight them. I can already see OG Issei getting the one that looks like a hot succubus for himself... The plot of DxD went downhill after Trihexa it seems.
"Fou! Fou!" Just when I was about to seal up these guys to send them to Ajuka. My familiar jumps in the middle while growing in size.
Fou currently is at the size of a hound with his tail becoming bigger than his body. Fou stops and looks at the Malebranche before letting out a growler filled with promises of death, aimed at the twelve statues.
To my shock, the Malebranche unseal themselves before getting on their knees, showing clear submission towards Fou.
"Fou, I was going to use them for negotiation."
"Fou Fou!"
"That is not how it works."
"Fou..." Fou whines at my refusal, giving me puppy eyes. Unfortunately, I haven't built up immunity for them yet.
"Fine, you can have them as your underlings but you're going to have to let Ajuka inspect them whenever he wants. Okay?"
Hearing me giving permission Fou for the first time jumps at me in joy, his size getting smaller in the process and starts licking my cheek." Okay, stop that it feels weird."
"Fou!" He keeps licking. He found a new way to torture me!
