The Underworld's Rightful Heir

My words brought stillness to the room; that is indeed my plan. This universe is well-formed. The dimensional gap serves as a wonderful barrier. It is ruled by both Nothingness and Infinity. If I get those two dragoness as my mates... then it is better for them if I bring this whole universe along with me. I'm not the only one who is a fish too big for this pond. Them too.

Nevertheless, this 'pond' is their home, and also Grayfia, Layla and Fia's.

Taking this universe with me is not an arduous task, it is small and compact, so long as I can find Helius that is.

"Is that what you have decided, master?"

"The three of you are mine. So, of course~" I answered Grayfia and she gave me a last peck before falling asleep with the broadest smile, clearly, she loves my decision... I know that she likes our current status quo.

"Stacking a claim on your mother-in-law like that… if you keep talking such sweet words, you may get me in the mood~ let's sleep... mummy is tired after so much sex".

"You didn't move a muscle".

"My eyes are tired, m-moreover... I have been using my hand, haven't I?"

It didn't surprise me when Fia tucked both sisters to embrace one another and then she shamelessly came to my side, to embrace me to sleep... I guess this is her 'payment' for cheering me up.

Several hours took place during which Fia held me, she was snoring soundly, sleeping like she never had before. I sat up and sniffed. Grayfia and Layla were still hugging one another with broad smiles.

There is this aura and smell... coming from the south. I stood up from the bed and levitated, trying to not wake them up, my body flashed and I donned my hybrid form.

I sliced a nimble portal with my claws and walked through it. The first thing I found in front of me was a fountain of treasures. It was the clearing of a forest but... it was all filled with treasures.

My senses scanned and sure enough, I felt someone nearby, but... I don't know this guy.

"I never thought this would work… but as you're a dragon, this is my only lead~ if you hadn't plundered all the treasures belonging to that old fart, Odin. I wouldn't have had a clue on how to approach you"

He came out of the shadows, his attire resembled Sirzechs but his hair was standing upright and silver, if anything he recalls me of someone... that boy, the 'White Dragon Emperor' that I fought; he was assisting the red dragoness.

My eyes focused on him threateningly.

"Is this some sort of offering, Mortal?".

"It is~ my humble offering to the strongest being in Draconic Deus. To be addressed a mortal by your lordship sounds like a fitting title, Richter-sama. Or should I call you Lord Dragon God?" He spoke in a way that made me feel vanity.

He knows... how hilarious, out of all devils... this mortal knows how you're supposed to address a Dragon God.

"You can address me however you wish", my claws pointed forward towards the treasures and they disappeared right into my body, the forest lost its elegant lustre and the man smiled broadly.

His offering is successful; I am pleased.

The last time I was offered a tribute it was by the Primal Realm... they wanted a few tones of gold. It was right before falling asleep and waking up to Grayfia a few centuries later.

"My name is Rizevim Livan Lucifer. The rightful heir of the Lucifer seat, the one currently plundered by that Gremory boy, pleased to make your acquaintance~"

"Old Satan faction…?" I yawned, the Nephilim had told me stories about the old satan faction who was the group that Grayfia fought when she was back here still. One of the generals of that army if I recall was this fellow.

Frankly, I want to go and sleep. But… what can I say? This man knows how to address a dragon. You first give an offering. Then speak; he got my attention right away, and just because of this action I regard him better than the whole devil council. Even if the treasures are worthless, so far he's the one that has taken my identity seriously.

What a dragon most desires is respect and recognition of his might, there is no better way to do that than with an offering.

"If it is not a bother… I have many questions, Richter-sama" He asked, standing far away from me, the moon shone above us, more so me with my shining scales.

"I'll answer those questions your offering paid for" what I meant was that I'm not intending to answer everything he asks, just what the treasures he gave me are worth. Around two or three...

"What is it like outside of this universe? What is Lady Calliope's world like?" It was his whole demeanour switched to one of servitude upon mentioning Calliope, so this is another one of Destiny's fanboys?

I frowned, "Vast and wide with countless powerful multiverses along the z-axis. Individuals… dragons, gods, primordials and more. You won't be bored"

My answer seemed to satisfy him, I literally sensed how his body shivered.

Disgusting.

"How strong would I be there…? I'm a Super Devil, you could say I'm as strong as Sirzechs Gremory" He asked once again, this time more calm... I noticed he didn't call Sirzechs 'Lucifer' I guess he still believes himself the owner of that title.

"Then you'd be… a higher god. Decent strength, still not top range, but not too far, outside of the Primal Universe you'd be unparalleled, within it... just another peasant" I spoke in regards to Helius, another multiverse? I have never visited so I don't know.

"Unbelievable... how can I go? how can I attain the strength to tear the dimensional gap as you did?"

"I don't know how to return to my world at the moment… as for the strength... I'm afraid you're too far away from being able to do so... only existences like Great Red or Ophis could do that, the fabric of the z-axis is the toughest film in existence, to tear it is to tear through existence itself"

His lips were shivering and he was looking at me with a weird gaze, hey... stop.

"Very well… thank you. Now, about the underworld… are you the ally of the devils?~"

"I am not…"

"If they were to be attacked and assailed, would you protect them?"

"I wouldn't… but. I can't speak in my apostles' stead… they represent me".

"Apostles?"

"That's all the questions you're granted, I'm back to sleep".

I turned around, intending to leave, time is up and I'm about to fall asleep here.

"W-Wait! T-That was half of my heirloom!" He yelled from behind me, seriously? that rubbish?

"Half? For the heir of a devil king; you're quite broke… shouldn't be spending your money like that, boy… I'm off".

Opening a portal besides me, I heard another voice and gasped when I smelled something.

This Goddess... managed to conceal herself from me unexpectedly? she used spatial means.

"Since you finished your business here… then be on your way, Rizevim~".

A beautiful lady appeared in front of us from the shadows, the veil of the moon covered her, showcasing her flawless silhouette, I have seen her before, the day I pummelled Sirzechs, but... This time she's wearing a way more alluring outfit.

"Aphrodite…" The man said solemnly.

"You have declared war on the Fallen God Faction, Hades told me. That makes us enemies, must I kill you right here, Rizevim?~"

"Do you have what it takes, Goddess?"

*RUMBLE!!*

I felt a puny clash of auras that crushed the forest. Why the hell are these two at odds with one another? anyway, I'm going back to sleep.

"W-Wait Richter-sama! What are you waiting to leave, Rizevim!?"
