Chapter 8: Foundations of Power and Future Foes

I totally lied.

"Nope, it was from watching Devil King Leviathan magically transform clothing from nothing, he-he. If she makes clothing materialize, then can she make it vanish?"

My mother put her hand on her forehead, and I heard under her breath.

"I need to tell her to stop stripping in-front of my baby, sigh."

I ask what I am most curious about, due to my memories...

"Mother, I wish to build resistance to holy-magic and weapons, what do I need to do for this?"

My mothers eyes open wide at my random question, but like a good teacher, she enlightens me on the topic.

"Devils who have higher Demonic Power, like you and your brother, are able to develop resistance against all holy-based magic, objects, and Light Weapons. Where those with lesser Demonic Power will be eliminated. So, with your level of strength you will not outright die, but you still need to slowly improve with small doses of it to build up tolerance. Right now, I forbid this till you are at least 12 years old, do you understand me young man?!"

"I promise to not be reckless mother, and I will wait, then have you, brother, or Grayfia teach me more then."

She hugged me, being content with my answer to not do something dangerous. She then pointed to another book for Devils.

"Here is all of the common magic for Devils plainly written here for you dear. Study this, and we will end our lessons for today."

So I look at the complete list, knowing most of it already...

Language-Constant

Transportation-Teleportation

Binding Magic

Summoning Magic

Elemental Demonic Power

Appearance manipulation-Constant

Self-Destruct-Last Resort Magic

Evil Pieces activation

Mind Reading Magic

Demonic Bullet

Blade Barrage

Defensive Barrier Magic

I realize I have not been taught most of this and with sparkling eyes, like seeing a big pile of gold, I beg my mother.

"Mother, I want to learn all of this, pleeeeese~?!"

"Ufufu, Not today sweety, but I promise you will master all of it in a few years. Now, let us go to dinner. Some of your father's Harem are eating with us, and I need to make sure they are behaving, let's go."

And I was off to watch my father squirm with overbearing concubines trying to fight over themselves, for his attention. Yeah, big brothers Harem of one, seems less of a hassle now that I see my father struggle.

Elsewhere in the Underworld and Human world, a few women sneezed at the same time...

Six months have passed since I started to strongly focus on my Devil abilities. This had both good and bad consequences.

Well, the good things that have happened, would be the fact that I can now more easily control my Power of Destruction. With a bit of effort, I can fire a single bullet of power and shrink it to a softball sized black with a hint of crimson orb. Most anything I hit with it, just gets obliterated or warped by its intensity.

My brother can create many of these orbs of Destruction, so only being able to create one is not impressive. Well that is in comparison to a veteran. But my blast is already equal to what Rias Gremory in the anime could use when fighting Riser on the school roof. So I have a long way to go since Rias was a bit lazy.

Another positive thing I have accomplished would be my frequent use of our library. I have decided being Lazy is a Sin. I will learn everything that I can about my new world so that I can better plan for my future with many foes who just have immense power. Personally, the one foe I dread facing because of his Sacred Gear is Cao Cao. (sounds like, So-So)

Well if you live under a rock and never heard of what a Sacred Gear is, simply put, they are Soul-bound tools made by the Biblical God that are born with Humans, to counter Supernatural beings. Sadly, being a Devil, I cannot own one of these iconic weapons of God like Vali Lucifer can. But to be honest, I would rather be a Super Devil any day than a Sacred Gear wielder.

There is the most powerful and well known of them called Longinus. And the strongest one is the spear that pierced and killed Jesus, the True Longinus. Other well known Longinus would be the Divine Dividing and Boosted Gear that house the spirits of the 2 Heavenly Dragons, Ddraig and Albion.

Because of where I am today, for a brief second, I thought of what would happen to the world and history if I just shot child Issei with a bolt of Demonic Power, and realized I could never really do such a cruel thing. I might be a Devil, but I am kind at heart. I will just let Issei live his life.

I felt horrible having thoughts of either killing or recruiting him. Having knowledge of my world is very terrifying to even make me want to plot against a 3½ year old child. Those reincarnation and transmigration protagonists are twisted individuals now that I think about it. And I hope I never become corrupted with thoughts of manipulating others. But sadly, it might happen without me realizing it, sigh.

Well, that is enough of this topic for a long time. For now, Sacred Gears are still a bit rare to see because all of the new wielders are still young and have not awakened them yet.

Seeing me sigh, Grayfia asked me.

"Young master Ray, are you not feeling well? Is the Human world air or the sun too much for you?"

I shook my head as I was looking in a mirror in a clothing store in the city of Kuoh, Japan. Kuoh is a territory controlled by Cleria Belial, the cousin of the Number one Rating Game Champion.

So this city has not yet been given to the Gremory family to rule. Because I only have slight knowledge of events, I have no idea how and why Rias became the ruler of Kuoh. I don't even know why Cleria Belial was never mentioned before in the anime.
