Chapter 3: Meeting

As Alex walked out of the gate, he immediately released his Demonic Force to tell his subjects that he has returned.

He focused most of it to the Youkais, and he was damn sure that a not-so-few of them died from being crushed by the pressure.

He glaced at the edge of the Demon World, where a spaceship can be seen, inside it were a group of eight Youkai, all of them having a power no weaker than an Ascended Aizen, while one of them already has the strength bordering a Sephira.

"Hm?" He frowned, noticing a single fruit in the hands of the strongest Youkai there, parts of it were missing, as if someone took a bite on it.

'I see, so that's how they Ascended.' He looked down, where he saw his "guards" kneeling and looking up to him with adoring looks with their tails wagging behind them.

Its a bit embarrassing to be honest. His eyes landed on Cerberus, who has this Tengu-like Youkai beneath her feet while holding a severed head of a young man.

It seems like she just finished her 'hunt' and was looking at Alex like a fanatic believer of the church seeing their God face-to-face.

Slowly, Alex descended as Emi and the others followed him. The Hellhounds all gathered and surrounded them, having the same look as their tribe leader.

"Ahh~ My Lord..." Cerberus moaned out with a flushed look, before crushing the head of the Tengu on her feet, turning it into a bloody mess, though none reacted to it.

"My lord~ I, Cerberus, welcome you back to your rightful realm. We, the Hellhounds, has protected this place in your absence and allowed not a single "worm" inside~"

Cerberus bowed her head, as she kneeled in front of Alex, completely ignoring the others.

Her ears were twitching, and she didn't dare raise her head. Alex look at her for a few moments before he smiled wryly and patted her head.

Moan~

Alex quickly retracted his hand as he stared at Cerberus with wide eyes, he completely forgot about her habit to moan whenever he did this, the others stared at her in shock too, though the demon generals and Camio just sighed, they already got used to this.

"Oh my~" Nonko blinks her eyes as she stared Cerberus in interest.

"Ahh~ Once again, we welcome you, King Satan." Cerberus smiled, her cheeks flushed and she was breathing quite heavily with her tail wagging wildly.

Alex coughed, "Anyway, Cerberus, please inform my Royal Council of my return and that I wish for them to meet me at the meeting hall, we have so much to talk about."

"As you wish my lord!" Cerberus nodded with a grin before she howled, and followed by other Hellhounds before they all run towards the castle.

Alex watched them leave before he took out his phone before tapping the satellite-looking app as the word "Death" and "Revive" was shown.

Alex first tapped the word "Death" as two bars with the words "Fire" and "Cancel" was shown. He tapped the word "Fire" as a map appeared.

The phone was also imbued by his "Magic Sense" so it will show him anything he wanted to see, and with his Sunlight Convergence Laser Satellite which was imbued with Space Magic, he can fire it anywhere even if its in another world.

"Search, Extraterrestrial Youkai..." He muttered and was heard only by a few. The map showed dozens of red dots. He "marked" them as targets before pressing the word fire.

Normally he should be worried about other demons getting caught in the blast, but he also imbued the satellite with Soul Magic that would only mark those he targeted, and kill them, and for those who haven't been marked, the laser itself will evade them.

Then, one by one, the Youkais who invaded the Demon World suddenly felt something and all looked up to the sky.

A bright flash was the last thing they saw as they disappeared from existence.

Alex watched the map in his phone as one dot already disappeared. He wasn't here to play around and indulge these invaders in their conquer play.

He's here for business.

One by one, the dots started disappearing until none was left. Though with his Magic Sense, Alex sensed the Ascended Youkais seems to have survived but critically injured and went into hiding.

He let them be for now. They will be the one that his Generals will use to test their strength after helping them Ascend.

"Wow, you did pretty good annihilating them dude. All of them disappeared in a flash." Lucifer muttered in amazement. He didn't even used "farsight" to check on them.

Even in here, the pillar of light was visible as millions of energy signature suddenly disappeared.

"Oohh~" Alice stared at the disappearing pillars of light and knew it was her papa's doing, so she quickly turned towards him, "Papa! Papa! Wazzut? Wazzut?"

Alex smiled smugly, "Well it-Ow!?"

Emi quickly moved and pinched Alex's waist. Godzilla is already her bottom line, giving Alice something like Sunlight Convergence Laser is where she'll finally interfere.

What if one day they suddenly just heard a news that an entire Country disappeared with the pillar of light? And worse, people will claim that it's "God's" punishment or something?

That would be pretty bad.

"Papa! I wan dat! Gimme! Gimme!" Alice laughed as she wiggled in Lucifer's shoulder, trying to jump towards her papa.

Emi glared at Alex who just shrugs. He wasn't planning on giving Alice access to Hyperion anyway...at least not yet. Though if she could do something to impress him then he won't hesitate to give it to her.

Restoring a country or two and bringing back dead people to life is quite easy anyway.

Emi smiled at Alice, "Alright Alice, listen here, you can't "play" with that device okay? Its dangerous."

Alice blinks as she furrowed her brows and seems to be in deep thought.

"Hmmm...then, then, give gozziwa dat! Papa! Pwease give gozziwa dat!"

Emi face palmed and couldn't help but groan in annoyance. She should have been there for Alice...but she has work and she couldn't really bring her baby girl with her.

Its all her fault that she seems to be slowly getting influenced by her stupid father.

"...Anyway, let's go inside the castle." Alex patted Alice's head before pinching her cheeks as he smiled and winked at her, before pressing his index finger on his lips.

Alice seem to understand him as she grinned and covered her mouth with her little hands and nodded at him.

Their exchange weren't missed by the others though, but the father and daughter act like no one noticed them sending "secret messages" at each other.

"Damn, this place is even more depressing than hell." Appaci stated as she look around.

"But this is hell idiot." Mila Rose rolled her eyes at the idiocy of her friend.

"Quiet you two, don't embarrassed Harribel-sama." Sung-Sun said as she stared at Alex's back in fear.

After all, while they were on a white space where Alex has put them after getting knocked out, Alex has been "kind" enough to show them the live video of their battle.

Harribel remained silent as she just stared at the back of her new king. Though she said that she would follow Alex, she wasn't really ready to trust him yet. After all, she just got betrayed by the person she trusted with her life.

Starrk though, is already loyal to Alex. He followed Aizen because the guy promised that he won't have to be alone anymore. For that, he gave his strength to Aizen.

He didn't expect Aizen to discard them so easily though. But still, the reason why he followed Alex is because Alex promised to keep help him control his Spirit Power to not kill anyone who got close to him.

There are also many other reasons. One of them is because Alex has said that he has a lot of strong people that could beat him to pulp and resist his Spirit Power.

And seeing those hundreds of demons, he was sure it wasn't just boasting. Especially that "Cerberus" girl, as a Wolf Hollow, his instincts screamed at him to run the moment his eyes landed on Cerberus.

It was the first for him experiencing that. Of feeling like he was a prey and being in a presence of a top predator.

They finally arrived at the entrance of the castle with Cerberus there waiting for them.

"My lord. Let me escort you to the meeting hall." Cerberus grinned as she stared at Alex only, completely ignoring everyone else.

Alex nodded and followed after her.

Emi's eye twitched in annoyance as her Celestial Force flickered for a moment.

Cerberus noticed this and looked at her with an annoyed look, only to raise an eyebrow, "...You look familiar."

"She's the Hero Emilia, or, was the Hero Emilia." Camio stated.

Cerberus looked at him in shock, "Chuck? You're here? No, you're alive? I thought for sure that you died, that's what Seilah told us anyway."

Camio sighed, he was already used to this. Cerberus really doesn't care about anyone else but the king, though no one said anything about it since in the entire demon world, Cerberus ranks at the third strongest demons.

"We're here too you know." Ashiya said with a cough. "Its been awhile Miss Cerberus."

Cerberus looked at him in disgust, "Who the fuck are you? Stop calling me Miss, it creeps me out. The hell are you even doing here? My lord, should I kill him?"

Ashiya groaned, "Its me Miss Cerberus, Alsiel. Though, I look different, it is really me."

Cerberus raised an eyebrow, "...Wow, I didn't recognize you, you even smell different. You look...weak. Don't get me wrong you're already weak before but now, you look even weaker."

Ashiya sighed, he can't say anything since Cerberus is much stronger than him, her claws even allows her to easily tear apart his prided defense.

Though...

"How come you recognize his demonic highness? He looks much more different in his human form than me."

Cerberus looked at Alex as if she was observing him before turning back to Ashiya, "Are you blind? No matter how you look it him, he's King Satan you know."

"No, he really look different than before."

Cerberus just looked at him in disdain, "The heck are you talking about? He looks like King Satan to me. Fuck, you can't even recognize your king and you dare call yourself general? Seilah is a much better option than you."

Ashiya was speechless and was looking at her with his mouth wide open. "..I...I...I..."

"I'm here too, please don't ignore me." Lucifer finally made his presence known.

Cerberus looked a bit shocked seeing him, "Looserfer? I thought you died?! Ohh I'm so glad you survive! We wouldn't have to search for a new 'ball' to play with."

"...fuck. No one really respects me." Lucifer muttered in sadness. Though he shivered in fear remembering the time where the Hellhounds treated him like a ball to play with.

Broken bones, wings becoming featherless, internal bleeding, destroyed organs, scratches and bite marks. Those were the things he never want to experience ever again.

"Keep quiet, we have arrived." Alex said as he stood in front of a large door.

He opened it, and he was immediately greeted by a large and luxurious hall with a long rectangular table with chairs on the center, sitting on the chairs were several old looking demons.

When the door opens the demons all looked up in joy, only to frown when they didn't see the one they are expecting.

Alex sighed and slowly returned to his three meter tall demon form while letting out a small part of his Demonic Force, his clothes were adjusting to his size.

"Your majesty!"

"My king!"

"Your demonic highness!"

The demons teared up and were about to kneel when Alex raised his hand, motioning them to sit down.

Alex went to his chair and sat down before smiling as Emi and the others all stood beside him.

"My council. We are under attack. Though I already solved it and put an end to it, so first..." He snapped his fingers as cups of teas and snacks appeared in front of the demons.

"...let's have some tea."
