The Statue of Liberty is my power

"Human world, huh?" 

Staring at the purple sky before him, Masa felt a little conflicted as it would be his first time to go into the human world. 

All of his life had been spent in the Underworld, and he had never left this world as he just wanted to live a peaceful life, yet he knew that he had to go to the human world, especially if he wanted to become stronger. 

'Even though I have the Ton Ton no Mi...' 

After gaining the Ton Ton no Mi, Masa had been training this Devil Fruit as it was the one that suited him the most with his fighting style. 

As the Devil of the Vapula House, he would usually just summon his lions to fight, but as he was close to Sairaog, naturally, he also trained his physical ability, so it didn't take a long time for him to be able to increase his weight to 250 tons. 

How many were 250 tons? 

It would be hard to imagine how much the 250 tons were, but if Masa had to say that 250 tons were about the same weight as the Statue of Liberty, you could imagine how it felt to be punched by him, right? 

Having the Statue of Liberty smashed into you, that's how it would feel to be punched by him. 

Frankly, Masa wasn't sure how much stronger he was in this world, especially when he hadn't seen the Four Great Satans, the four strongest devils in the world, show their power. 

Yet, there was no doubt that for him, who could have the speed of light, this might be even more powerful. 

Still, even so, he wasn't going to be so ignorant as to think that he was the strongest, especially when many of the mythical beings in this world could destroy the world, and the power of the two Statues of Liberty wasn't enough. 

Moreover, he had heard that Sirzech Lucifer, the leader of all the devils, had a power of destruction, a power that was able to destroy anything that touched it. 

Frankly, the power of destruction didn't originate from the House of Gremory, the family where Sirzech originated; instead, it came from the House of Bael, the Great King of all the devils, which was the leader of the opposite faction of the Four Great Satans, which was led by Sirzech. 

The two often clashed, and neither appeared to wish to back down. 

Though it was normal for them to have such a relationship, considering their view on politics was different. 

If the Great King Faction was a conservative who didn't wish to change and maintain the stability of the devil, then the Four Great Satans was a progressive who wished to change and bring great change to all the devil. 

Which one was better? 

No one, Masa thought. 

If Masa had to say, the two had to combine if they wanted to become better. 

If a devil wanted to become better, they had to throw away all their bad habits, yet not blindly develop as a change wouldn't just bring goodness. 

Nevertheless, everything had nothing to do with Masa as he just wanted to become stronger, and frankly, his family was within the Great King Faction as a conservative brought greater benefits to a noble family like him. 

Still, considering his current needs, he knew that he had to talk with someone from the Four Satans Faction since he wanted to go to the human world. 

Devour an angel or a fallen angel. 

Frankly, in the Underworld, there was a fallen angel, and it shouldn't be a problem for him to go there, but he was afraid that he might be discovered and he might become a sinner who caused a great war between the devil and fallen angel once again. 

Still, with his current power and speed, he couldn't care less, even if he might be blamed or sacrificed to fix the peace between the devil and the fallen angel. 

More importantly, with his speed of light, who could catch him? 

However, he had many family and subjects within his territory, and he didn't want them to be sacrificed for his selfishness to become stronger, so his only way to devour the fallen angel so he could gain holy property within his light ability was to go to the human world and devour an evil fallen angel. 

If he did so, then no one would blame him; after all, at this moment, even if there was no great war between the devil and the fallen angel, their relationship wasn't that close, and they were practically enemies. 

Yet, considering he knew the story of the DxD, he knew that this was just what everyone believed, and the top thought of making peace between them as there was no longer any benefit to them fighting. 

Not only due to their limited numbers, it was also hard for them to reproduce, and there were many myths that wanted to destroy them, especially those pagans and minor beliefs that were pushed aside by Christianity. 

Regardless, there was no doubt that it was a great thing for Sirzech to appear as having a strong devil meant that the safety of all the devil was guaranteed, yet Masa didn't really want to get close to this guy much, considering it was hard to tell what this guy was thinking. 

Peace, was that what Sirzech really wished? 

Probably, Masa thought. 

Well, more importantly, Sirzech was the older brother of Rias Gremory, and considering his relationship with Riser Phenex and Rias' relationship with Issei Hyoudo, the protagonist of DxD, Masa was too lazy to get close to Sirzech. 

Still, there was no doubt that when Masa thought about it slowly, the DxD was a pretty simple story, as it was a story of a hot-blooded MC fighting villains who wanted to destroy everyone's peace. 

That's it, that's all. 

'Hmm...' 

When Masa thought about it slowly, he had to say that as long as he just stayed in his domain, nothing would happen to him, he thought, yet when he thought about the glory of Issei, it might cause his ruin and make the one that he was close with disappear, he knew that he had to make his move. 

If the power of the Devil Fruit wasn't enough, then let's add the power of the myth in this world, too! 

'If possible, I want to get the Longinus, too.' 

Yet, Masa knew that it was impossible for him to get a Longinus as he probably wouldn't be allowed to, and it might cause a disbalance between all the factions. 

However, if he was strong enough, it would be different, so he took his mobile phone and started to call a certain one of the members of the Four Great Satans that he was close to. 

Yes, even though he was part of the Great King Faction, there was no one who stopped him from being friendly with the Four Great Satans, and it would be great to have their backing, right? 

Yet, there was no doubt the feeling of having your safety or interest protected by relying on others was just too annoying, he thought, as if he couldn't feel completely safe, so once again, he had to go to the human world and to do that he had to get the help of this Maou. 

However, when he thought that he would have to wait for the call, his call was immediately connected. 

Oh, right; while it might be late, naturally, there was a mobile phone in the Underworld since while the devil might be able to use magic to do whatever technology could do, there was no doubt that having technology was more convenient and because of Masa from Mahouka, he also started to invest his domain into various technology-based businesses, which would become part of his main family industry. 

Still, before that, he had to face the Maou, who received his call so quickly. 

"Hello~! Hello~! What's wrong, Masa-chan~? Do you miss me~? Do you miss me, right~? 

"...ah, um, I miss you, Serafall-sama." 

"Non~! Non~! Call me, Levia-tan, okay, Masa-chan?" 

Yes, one of the four Great Satan that Masa was close to was the only female within the group, Serafall Leviathan.
