Good News

There is an uproar happening in the underworld. The information about Zekram Bael working with the church has been leaked, complete with video evidence. Let's just say that he has many enemies.

Even when he is the only living First Generation devil in the underworld, it did not make him the king of the underworld. There is a reason why Satan is the ruler of the underworld.

This information leak hit his political power very hard. Almost all of his allies declare their intention to break their alliance with the Bael Clan or make it into a non-aggression pact instead of an alliance.

It was what was happening outside. It looks like he is losing a massive amount of his power in politics, but I don't know if this is the same with his power in the shadows. I say this because there was no public uproar about the king's pieces, even when Medea told me she also hinted about the king's pieces.

Because of this, I need to make sure that Zekram cannot let him know that this massive PR nightmare is because of my peerage member.

"Medea, are you sure that this mess cannot be traced to you?"

"Yes, master. You don't need to worry. I post this from the human world and do it when I'm in India. They cannot do anything in that country if they want to investigate it. The Hindu Pantheon will not let them do it. They are even more territorial than the Greek."

"Very well. I trust you."

Moon-Net, also known as the equivalent of the Moonlight World internet. It was created by a magician who decided to make an internet but for the people on the other side of the world. Like the original internet, it was a place filled with anything, from a wholesome thing to something that is very disturbing.

"Thank you, master. You don't have to worry. I already made a plan in case my trace has been tracked, and I will make sure it will not bite us in the end."

"I hope you are right, Medea. Anyway, where is the other?"

"Hmmm? Ah, Kuroka is studying with your mother. This will be her last week of studying under your mother before she is deemed a worthy Queen for you. Shirou and her Harem (Illya and Sakura) decide to take a vacation and go to Germany. Hermione, Rin, and Kara decide to visit our new land. They want to check if there are any valuable herbs in there."

Ah, my new land. I forgot about that. I let my father and mother take care of it because not only was I technically still a child, but I did not know what I wanted to do with it. That land is very far away from any civilization as it needs clean air to make the plants grow faster and healthier.

"Medea, can you ask father to give you a list of herbs planted in that land for me? Just say that you want to experiment with them."

"Of course, master. Do you want them planted in the pocket dimension?"

"Yes. The company is in need of a massive amount of potion or a potion ingredient. As long as that plant has the same effect as the plant that is listed in the market, we can sell it."

"I will do that."

"Good. Other than that, is there any news that I should know about?"

"Oh, yes. I bring good news."

"Hmmm? What is it?"

"Ares is dead."

"Wait, seriously? Why didn't I hear it? While he is banished and demoted into low-level God, he is still Ares."

"That is because the Greek Pantheon covers it. They use all their force to cover it up. Right now, the world knows that Ares is still alive and even steadily rising in rank. However, it was all a cover-up."

"Then how do you know about it?"

"I put a monitoring spell at Ares."

I waited for Medea to tell me further, but I decided to let it go when I saw she did not elaborate further.

"I see. How is his treasure?"

"That is what I want to tell you. Do you want to see them? I already checked them all, and they are clean. The curse has been lifted when Ares is dead."

"Really? Sure. Lead the way."

=||=

I look at the massive treasure inside my vault and notice something different. I did not feel the same pressure before Ares died. Before, it was like there was an invisible pressure that made you wary about all these treasures.

There is still pressure, but it was because of the item's power rather than what surrounds it. I can't explain it really well.

I walk around the vault for a few seconds before stopping in front of a bastard sword. The sword has a pale blue body with an engraved rune on it. I can also see the same rune carved on the sword's grip. The rune is rather familiar, but at the same time, it is not. The pommel of the sword is made of a purple jewel.

"Medea, can you come here for a second?"

"Hmmm? What is it, master?"

"Do you know these runes? I saw these runes somewhere, but I don't know where. It is familiar, but at the same time, it is not."

Medea looks at the sword closer, and I can see her frown before her eyes widen up.

"These are the runes from Old Britain! I only know these words from the books. These runes should have been lost a long time ago."

"Hmmm? Modern age Britain did not use these runes any longer?"

"No. The rune in front of you is the written language used by the Fae. When they leave the island of Britain, they take as many books regarding their language with them to the other side of the world. Modern rune (Britain Rune) is the imitation of the original. They did not have the same power as the original."

"That means this sword is coming from Old Britain, huh?"

"And created by the Fae."

"Pardon?"

"This sword is a holy sword, but at the same time, it was not dangerous to us, the devil, as long as you did not cut yourself with it, unlike other holy swords that will hurt us even when we are getting close to the swords. That is the unique thing that only Fae can do. They are a Neutral race, and their creation reflects that. While the main function of this sword is a holy sword, you can change it by feeding it a massive amount of demonic power."

"And what will happen?"

"Why don't you try it, master?"

I nod my head and take the sword from the pedestal before feeding it with a massive amount of demonic power. I can feel my demonic power get absorbed at high speed, and in a matter of a minute, I already lose half of my energy. I worried that it would absorb all of my demonic energy and leave me unconscious, but the sword stopped after absorbing a third of my reserve.

I look at the sword for a second before my eyes widen up.

"Medea, this is…."

"Yes. Congratulations master. You are the first one who owns a Holy Demonic Sword in the world."
