Chapter 3

Devil Magic is a cheat. In my opinion, it is one of the easiest types of magic in the entire DxD universe. Why? They only need the power of imagination and will make it into reality. A regular devil will have a hard time manifesting this because they are not creative creatures.

They are a creature of power. Their will is not as strong as humans'; don't let me start with their imagination. They might look like humans, but their thinking is lagging behind. Because of their long lifespan, they did not think outside the box.

It is a pattern with all long-lived creatures like the Devil and Fallen Angel. The reason why Grigori is successful is because of the human and other short-lived races in their organization. Only a few of them are motivated enough to expand their thinking outside the box. Take Azazel, for example. He might be lazy, but once he is motivated, he will chase that goal as if his father were chasing after him.

Some of us have the motivation to think outside the box and get creative, but most of us are rather lazy and stuck to the old ways.

I take a deep breath and create magic. A second later, a hail of acid came out of the magic circle. I slam my leg to the ground, and suddenly, a boulder comes from the ground, floating in front of me. I thrust my hand forward and launched the boulder away.

I snap my finger, and two portals appear. One is on the end of the stone, and the other is behind me. I create six more and keep throwing more boulders into the portal. A few seconds later, I have a dodging arena.

With my ability to control Earth, I make sure all the boulders I throw at the portal keep their speed so I can use them as a dodging tool. This training is something that was created in the past. It will increase my control over my magic and train my body.

While I am only dodging, it still stresses my body and makes it stronger. It is not as good as fighting, but I only need to do the basics first before I do a real fight. I want a solid foundation before I get into a real fight.

The fight between me and the wizards in the Harry Potter world did not count because they were too weak even for this world standard. You can categorize them as a normal human with a gun. They are dangerous for a lower-class being, but not for me. Devils have a stronger and tougher body since birth, and mundane guns will not work well against us. It can still kill a devil, but only the weaker one.

This is the power of Devil Magic. It does not need complex calculations; it only needs imagination and the will to manifest the result into reality. It takes a lot of Demonic Energy, but luckily, I have many of them.

After almost an hour of training, I canceled my spell and released a sigh. I can feel my reserve about to be depleted. I almost reached the one-hour mark. The first time I used this type of training, I could only last for a few minutes before I fell to the ground, panting.

I release another sigh and get inside my home. I need to prepare for a journey. I already plan for this journey. This will be the journey that lets me have a foundation for my new business.

===

After thinking of my target, I snap my finger, and a portal appears in front of me. When my preparation is done, I take a deep breath and walk through the portal. Once I step through the portal, I can feel the air change. There is no mana in the air, not even a hint of it. This world is empty of mana.

What kind of world is this? This is the world where the human race has been wiped out. The reason? Zombies. Yup. This is a world where zombies reign supreme and kill every living being in this world.

This is the Back 4 Blood universe. The universe invested with a worm that turned humans into zombies and mutated them into something gruesome. My preparation is to create a barrier around my body to block any worms that try to get inside my body.

I already take the timeline where the worm has gone extinct, but there is nothing wrong with being over-prepared. Because of the worm's gluttonous nature, they need to eat a lot, and while there are a lot of humans and animals in this world, it is still a finite source of food.

I don't know how long it will take them to eat all the humans and animals, but this world is empty of them. I make sure to create a portal that makes sure no more worms survive in this world.

I shake my head and walk toward the massive gate in front of me. I am currently in front of Fort Knox. I want to harvest some gold. It will get me enough foundation to buy anything I need for my future business.

I touch the gate, create a portal inside of the gate, and send the one consumed by my portal to the void to create an opening for me. I explored the entire fort for a few hours before I found the vault in the deepest section of the fort.

I create a portal to create an opening for me, and I can see stack upon stack of gold bars sitting inside the vault. I smile and start to work. I created a portal to my home back in the DxD world and started to throw all the gold inside the vault.

It takes me another few hours of resting and throwing before I finally manage to move a considerable amount of it to my home. There were too many golds in this vault, and I did not have a place to store all the gold.

I closed the vault and returned to my home. I look at the small mountain of gold in front of me and smile. I want to jump into the mountain of gold like Scrooge McDuck if not for the fact that Gold is metal, and it will hurt me if I jump into it.

I sit next to the gold mountain and take one of the bars. I channel my demonic energy into it and cover the carving on the gold. I need to make sure no one gets any idea that I stole this from the alternate version of Fort Knox. I don't want the people guarding that place coming at me. There is a reason why the magical side of the world did not attack that place and steal all the gold.

The one guarding that place is the Aztec Pantheon. They are ruthless and love gold. If you steal their gold, you will be murdered. Some of their Gods are sneaky bastards. I don't want to be murdered just because they thought that I stole from their vault.

I shake my head and think of a way to store all these golds. After thinking for a few seconds, I got an idea. If I cannot store it here, I can store it in another world. There is a bank that I can use to store my gold without them asking too many questions.

I mold twenty more gold bars, put them inside a bag, and open a portal to the Wizarding World. I need to go to Diagon Alley and visit Gringott Bank.
