Chapter 9

Note: The template does not make him overpowered. He will start as a Daemon. That means he won't have ultimate skills right off the bat. He ain't the type to just accept whatever is thrown at him unnecessarily. Though worry not he won't be nerfed... Well, technically his power level would be peak Ultimate class as of now.

A little bit above of what he was before falling to Devil's Slumber.

The template is basically telling him beforehand that he'll receive these skills at least. To receive all the skills of Guy Crimson he has to evolve his race.

Other than that depending on the plot, I'll add more skills to his arsenal but those will be earned.

Worry not for he'll evolve soon enough...

<>=>Voice of the world.

*****************************

'Can't Breathe...'

The familiar darkness, as soon as he opened his eyes Cale found himself in this aphotic zone yet once again.

'Was it all a dream?... Great Sage...?' He called in hope.

Hope that all that has happened until now was real...

'What is happening ?' was all he could think of when he suddenly felt like something was going to be taken away from him... Something that was his ...

"I refuse..." He didn't know why but he got a feeling that if he accepted the change he would lose something very important.

<Refusal to accept... Response accepted... Modifying...> 'Great sage is that you...?' Cale thought.

<Skill Great Sage already present> he tried to ignore the unknown rambling.

Cale's eyes were gradually gaining clarity. He started remembering his entire life at this moment.

What he lived through, he wanted to remain as such...

<Confirmation complete, Retaining past abilities... Overlapping is not possible... Failure>

<As a replacement measure... Failure. Crest of #### present>

<Synchronising template... Successful>

'Huh? What is happening Great Sage' Cale was pulled out of his stupor due to this monotonous voice without mulling over it he inquired instead.

[Answer: Host has reached the central world and is in the last stage of conversion. After complete assimilation and conversion the template has been completely synchronized.]

[Note: Stage 3 is completed]

[Note: Congratulations host for you are the new red Primordial]

<Soul strength exceeds the given criteria... As such no skills shall be given until earned.>

<Creating a matching body... Successful>

*******************************************

"Great sage explain..." Cale muttered because what happened went way above his head.

The refusal of that voice, and the synchronization.

'Was that the Voice of the world, the one that sage mentioned? '

[Affirmative]

[Answer: When summoned one's soul is exposed to a huge amount of magicules. Therefore to sustain their being skills are provided. Obtaining a skill permanently decreases the amount of Magicules one can hold thus increasing their lifespan.]

[Answer: In the host's case due to the template and past strength, the host's soul was already strong enough to contain the magicules.]

'So that's it ... I thought I was getting scammed... Well, I already have more than enough on my plate.' Although a bit dissatisfied he still chose to accept what he got.

After the synchronization, he could already feel like he was back in his heyday, with power coursing through his very existence.

He felt free.

'I am probably stronger than an average Ultimate class devil... A little more and I'll be a Satan class...'

Rather than relishing in the sudden power-up, he was thinking about his next step in this world...

He remembered what she said...

"The moment you arrive there, some of them would become aware of your existence..."

'Anyways I cannot control everything...' rather than worrying needlessly about something he couldn't control, he decided to do what mattered most at that moment.

The most important thing right now was to check what was new in this chaotic world.

When he left that lightless zone he found himself 'in a dried up forest?' Surrounded by these eerie-looking trees, red sky, and barren land, he couldn't help but think of the wastelands of the underworld.

Atmosphere filled with magicules was the only aspect that made him feel the difference.

Although the environment was somewhat different, rather than feeling uncomfortable he felt comfortable instead.

As if he was finally home.

Seizing his exploration urges he decided to check what actually changed about him

That's what really mattered for him... and for us as well ...wait.

Unable to hold his excitement he said

"Great Sage show me my skills~"

"Great Sage explain the important ones," Cale ordered, he already had an idea about his OG skills. What he really wanted to know was the new set of skills he have received in this entire ordeal.

[Affirmative]

Being the new Red Primordial he is going to be under the radar of many overpowered beings.

"I have to be prepared for what's coming." He muttered while waiting for the response.

"And at least I have tied up all the loose threads from my world... Ophis must have done her task by now... After all, we both have to fulfill our roles in the Contract."

'Holyshit !!! this Rouge guy is f**king overpowered...' staring with his eyes wide open he couldn't help but wonder

"What have I gotten myself into ?"

.

[It is not even my final form]

*************************************

Eastern Empire

Looking at the figure on the Divine Throne he couldn't help but admire in reverence. For he considered himself fortunate.

Fortunate, that he was serving the Overlord... The absolute Ruler.

Not wasting any more time he kneeled and spoke before his king

"Your highness"

"We have compiled the reports of all the Souls that have been summoned in the past six months."

"Your Grace..."

"Leave."

However, he was stopped before he could even complete his words. he shivered in fright for he remembers this unknown voice very well.

It belonged to the Great Guardian. The True Dragon.

He dared not waste any time and quickly left while praising the king.

"Not one of these insects is capable enough yet you still give them this much freedom."

"Calm down ... Velgrynd... An Emperor is nothing without his people. " A voice boomed in response not minding the harsh wordings at all.

For he believed in his aides... He believed in the judgment of his ultimate skill.

************************************

Meanwhile in the DXD world

Chaos ensued in the Gremory Household.

For their doors have been knocked, visited by a totally unexpected entity.

The Ouroboros Dragon.

*********That's all Folks*********

Now then,

-> Cale is like a blank slate he is all decorated n all but he has to explore all these abilities.

->War Empowerment is a unique skill meant specifically for Guy Crimson ... Because he was like a battle maniac

-> The last skill he will get from Guy will be Prideful king Lucifer.

-> For Those who were here for Abyss god Nodens ... He would not receive it on a platter...(Don't tell anyone but he will earn it himself...Shhh!)

->Chains of Hell skill will be introduced later... with a proper stage set for it. It is a f**king cheat.

->You might have already realized it... It won't be a wish-fulfillment story...

I wish to write a proper plot, Thanks.

Also the power level - I'll make an auxiliary chapter later but for now handle it with this:

Sirzcehs ==Demon lord (Not the true ones)

Ophis/Great Red/666== True Demon Lords level with one Ultimate skill

and Cale is peak Ultimate so you can probably figure it out

but as I am a good author ... Cale is around Arch Daemon level in prowess.

-> I am open to suggestions regarding power levels...Don't use harsh words though ... I am faint-hearted... Heh

Next chapter- Gremory's Reaction, Contract between Ophis and Cale.
