*Haile Fortress*

*Demon King Tower*

*Underground*

*Daytime*

.""All hail!"".

.""All hail!"".

.""All hail!"".

In an underground hall in the middle of the city thousands upon thousands of men and women were kneeling down in reverence, all towards a single direction, a lone throne, in this vast space it felt a bit out of place even.

Who would possibly be worthy enough to sit on this magnificent throne, especially before all these kneeling powerhouses, anyone of them could cause destruction and chaos to the world by themselves, who would be The One, well it was none other than, Crystal, The Witch Of Forbidden Knowledge, also known as Techno VB.

.""Hahahahahah"".

Crystal laughed out zealously, she sat on the demon kings throne casually with both feet on the armrest, that is right, she is now the official demon queen, though it is funny, many of these Demonic VB's are actually way stronger than she is, yet they can't beat her in a fight which she didn't need to do.

As with one sentence she got the respect and the "loyalty" of the demonic Volociblazers of the demon king's army, she said to them, I Killed The Demon King, Serve Me Now Or Die, guess what, they didn't die.

Crystal just looked at all the idiots, they don't even know they are now trapped in a game of which maybe even she doesn't know, she was not a fool.

She is named the Witch Of Forbidden Knowledge for a reason, she knows that Haile didn't tell her everything that is going on, she also has a feeling that she might be one of the fools also and that she was just one of the many puppets on strings dancing to a horrible melody on someone else's hand.

.'But it matters not, it's not like I had a choice, so I guess I will enjoy it best I can, I get to unfair Minrin at least.'Crystal thought to herself finding some joy in her predicament, plus she also has a very beautiful master, with lips so..

Her eyes visibly brightened up at that thought.'Yes that'll cheer me up'.."Alright ladies and gentlemen, first mission, attacking the church of True God Haile...Haile."She said but frowning on the words Haile, that is her master's name afterall.

.""Onward, we will tear them apart, with the great Witch Of Forbidden Knowledge we are invincible!!!"".

.""YAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"".

With that Crystal got up, she hacked into her own phone looking for information, she closed her eyes for a little."Found it."She said with a smile.

."Alright let's go cause some destruction."Crystal said with a grin, she waved her hands and everyone turned to silver lightning and flashed into the electrical sockets.

~~

*Church Of True God Haile*

The church was more like a paved stadium in the form of a triangle, at the center of this was a podium, chairs and what not was there for them to sit on, around this were stands fit for thousands of worshipers of which were filled to the brim.

.""Praise the lord!"".

.""Forgive me for I have sinned o God!!!"".

.""Lamadamsavanahagamam(I don't know, tongues maybe?)"".

Thousands of people waiting for the appearance Lord Mark the Pope and the Priestess princess Mariah Minrin who is sited to give a vision of God today and tell of a prophecy.

The people now were beginning to become a bit impatient as they were waiting for a good while but as if on que, they saw a disturbance down below, it was none other than the VIPs, Lord Mark and Priestess Minrin along with other priest and powerful people like a bishop.

Minrin had a benevolent smile on her face as she waved at everyone kindly walking up to the podium.

Everyone already had their assigned seats which they stood infront while the Pope went to the lectern which had his speech ready made for him.

."Good day everyone, what a great day to be alive, nothing better than to live in the presence of God am I right, hahaha, I thank you all for taking your valued time to come out to support us with both your physical and monetary efforts, it is all very much appreciated, not only by me but also by the one True God himself, he heard your pleads and cries, he feels your pain and suffering, so he gave me through our good Priestess Minrin a few words to share with you today."Lord Mark said with a large smile on his face as he spread his hands as if preparing to reveal something shocking.

Minrin stood infront of her seat with the smile still on her face but within was a different matter.'That bastard, how dare he lie about the Creator God like this, blasphemy, he is lucky he is needed alive.'She thought to herself.

.""Is that so, if that is the case I would like to hear it as well, or am I not welcomed here, as a non believer hehe"".

Suddenly a feminine sexy voice could be heard from the speakers surprising everyone, all the believers were looking around curiously of who the mysterious voice could belong to.

Even the likes of Lord Mark was confused, as only one microphone was connected and on cable so it couldn't be intercepted through frequency.

Minrin had a frown on her face before it slowly relaxed."So it's time, she is already on the move."She murmured under her breath.

."Who are you, show your face, you dare disrespect the great God almighty by interrupting his ceremony, come to light and repent and maybe the lord will forgive your sins."Lord Marks said casually as he stood at the lectern, he looked around gazing into the stands.

.""Do you think I am afraid of you all, you would be lying to yourself, do you know who I am, look behind you"".

Lord Mark frown and turned around along with the other priest and whatnot, seated on a chair in the back of the podium was a white hair, white eye beautiful woman.

The believers in the stands now just noticed this woman as well, Lord Mark's eyes widened."It's you, Crystal, Witch Of Forbidden Knowledge, why have you come here to disturb the peace and cause trouble."He said with a wary expression, he kept his eyes on her hands and feet specifically.

Crystal smirked."What, isn't this a place for believers, of course I am a believer so why can't I be here, I am a believer in that the world should not be under the control of hypocritical pedophiles, but instead me."She said gazing at everyone arrogantly as a large smile took her face.

.""You how dare you speak to Lord Mark like that, you should know your place heathen!!!"".

.""Yeah, he is doing good in the name of God!!!"".

.""He is helping to save us you witch, burn in hell!!!"".

The people in the stands started to go mad, these were the diehard believer and worshipers that would give up their houses to the church in exchange for a place in "paradise" with God.

."Calm down children of God, let us not cater to sin, she too is a child of God, but unfortunately she has strayed to the wrong path, in the name of God, Haile, I have no choice but to discipline her, I hope I can seek forgiveness from you all for the unsightly display I am about to unleash upon this heathen."Lord Mark said as he shook his head tears clouding his eyes with regret.

.""That bitch!!!"".

.""Look how she hurt the popes poor heart, what if he gets a heartattack and die from this heartache"".

.""She deserves to die horribly, imagine what our God is feeling right now"".

The people just start to get more angry towards her, Minrin sat casually not even looking back at her, meanwhile Crystal was impressed."You people are good, got the ignorant massed wrapped around your fingers."She said nodding in appreciation.

.""Judgment"".

*Fshhh*!!!

Crystal's eyes widened as she felt a heat over head, without even bothering to looked or anything she turned to electricity and disappeared from her spot.

*Siiiiiii*!!!

Crystal reappeared a few meters away from the podium as she got chills in her body, where she was standing is now a light pillar, it didn't cause some fancy explosion or anything but it melted through everything it touched like butter as it left a hole meters deep.

."Holy fuck, if that had hit be I would be a goner instantly, you people, I'm jealous, though I would still not rather have another power than my own."Crystal said as she grinned, she walked towards the podium slowly breaking into a run before turning electric disappearing.

*Ziiiii*!!!

Lord Mark tilt his head slightly and a leg passed by barely missing him, he took a step back dodging one to his stomach, he point his palm infront of him.""Judgment"".."A ring glinting on his finger.

*Fshhh*!!!

Crystal tore her body in half as the pillar went right through her, she bring herself back together landing back on the ground inelegantly.

She got up again going in for the killed, she turned her arms to electricity as she punched at lightning speed, but Lord Mark with just the bare minimum dodged it all effortlessly.

Lord Mark glanced at her slightly as he dodged a swing to his head.""Judgment""."He said as he pillar came out his hand going through her body again but it pushed her back.

Crystal dropped to the ground as silver liquid electricity before forming back again.

."I knew you were strong but this is an entirely different level, how the hell did you manage it."Crystal said with frustration, she thought she could at least give him a hard time but it wasn't looking so good for her already, that stupid light pillar is unfair.

Minrin shook her head.'How can she hope to uphold balance with this little bit of power, maybe I should ask the creator God to help her out just a bit in that department.'She thought feeling pity for her being so weak.

."I am simply using the power of faith, the faith in my God gives me strength, you have no faith so you are weak, now be a good girl and allow yourself to be Judged."Lord Mark said as he frowned his brow that had a bit of sweat on them, he really did not have unlimited use of his judgment, he needs to end it quickly and the Witch is damn slippery.

Crystal gave him a deadpan expression."Uh huh, really, it's that simple, alright.""High Jack"".."She said as electric arcs appeared around Lord Mark freezing him.

Lord Mark tried to move but couldn't, he honestly panicked a little bit as it had never happened to him before, he heard about her power before and it really is as legends told.

Crystal flashed to him jumping at him with both feet.

*Bam*!!!

.""AggG"".

She kicked him in the stomach making him fly back rolling on the ground, he probably ate alot of cement, Crystal ran towards him to finish him now that she has the chance, but she stopped and jumped back.

*FshhIIIII*!!!

A golden bolt of pure raw lightning zoom by her, she felt her hairs stand on end just being close to it, she dropped to the ground and looked straight at Minrin still seated casually.

."Woah, why do you interfere, do you have no honorableness or whatever it is you people fascinate over."Crystal said to her with a sigh as she lazily got up from the floor.

Minrin gave a brow raise."You are my enemy, I am supposed to try and stop you, so please cease the whining, it is unbecoming of you Techno VB."She said calmly, she glanced across to Lord Mark who had the priests and bishop helping him up.

Minrin got up from her seat sparking a roar from the believers, they knew just how powerful she was, infact she was sited to be the next leader of the church as the only one who can connect directly with God and hear his words.

Lord Mark was a little pale, not because he was injured but because this entire event is actually being broadcasted to the whole world, it is a world wide event.

."Minrin, in the name of God strike her down, she has disrespected the sacredness of God's place and his children, she does not deserve to remain here on this planet, send her to a better place to gain judgment for her sins."Lord Mark said with a smile on his face as his face shun brightly with light, which was actually just his own power.

But to the believers it was a Godly light of God, like the Messiah, some dropped to their knees at this and begin praying.

Minrin frowned at how he was manipulating the people with false words of her God, but she didn't say anything, she turned to Crystal who was looking sneakily."Why have you come here Techno VB, you know you cannot win."She said.

."Is that so, the great divine Priestess Minrin, you know you are probably right, or at least would be if I was still alone."Crystal said with a smirk, she opened her hands wide and suddenly electric sparks flashed from the stands and people started dropping their phones being shocked.

Liquid like silver electricity rose up into the air and came down to Crystal floating behind her casually, then they drip to the ground and transformed into a vast sea of her people.

.""All Hail The Demon Queen!"".

.""All Hail!!!"".

.""All Hail!!!"".

Crystal summoned all the demonic Volociblazers as they gathered behind her like a night parade of a thousand demons.

.""My God, isn't that Demon Lord Mars, one of the Four Demonic Lords of the demon king's army?!"".

.""Look it's also Demon Lord Dio!"".

.""And Demon Lord Kaio and Demon Lord Kim!"".

.""What in the world is going on, is this the end of the world!?!?!"".

.""Why are they with the Witch???"".

.""Didn't you hear they called her the Demon Queen"".

The believers were going crazy as they recognized these great evil entity's which each one frightened them greatly.

But that wasn't the end of the horror, behind these already great and powerful beings a woman walked out, she was an old woman with a cane, she had a smile on her wrinkled face, she has sky blue eyes and long white hair.

Lord Mark got serious and almost a bit apprehensive, even Minrin was a bit surprised, Lord Mark grit his teeth."What is the meaning of this Angelika???."He said with confusion and he was honestly a bit baffled.

."Hahaha, surprised?."Crystal said as she laughed out smugly, she put her hands on her waist arrogantly.

The old lady named Angelika looked at Lord Mark."Good day to you too Lord Mark, it is always a great day everytime I see you, as for your question, I choosed her."She said kindly as she glanced at Crystal.

."Her, I see, it all makes send now, that is why she actually knew so much and came out of nowhere with this much power!."Lord Mark said with a frown, it finding made sense to him.

This woman was Angelika, even before the Era of God she was an already mysterious old woman rumored to be over 5 centuries old, but officially she is proven to be a least over 130 at the very least, in her life she had gain a claim to fame as an oracle telling tales of prophecies so accurate it was frightening.

She was also one of the reasons that the church managed to find 2 of the 6 divine treasures, but the reason she could make the pope of the church of Haile so wary was the fact that she by herself has 2 divine rings in her possession, not only that she also possessed more that 33 other great treasures.

Angelika the Invincible Immortal Oracle.

."Yeah, she is my guardian, even before you all got this power from God we were already great and powerful witches, it is so unfair, this power went and broke the playing field and leverage we had."Crystal said with a bit down, she was so excited to be a witch back when nobody knew about magic or anything and were just apart of the ignorant masses.

Lord Mark clenched his fist, he looked at all the demonic Volociblazers and Angelika and Crystal, he then looked back to his own people, he only brought 3 priest and a bishop, Minrin is a separate entity.

.'My Bishop is only a Rank 5 VB and my Priest are only Rank 3s, Crystal is a Rank 9 and Angelika is a Rank 16, 5 levels above me, Minrin is only Rank 9 also, plus those other demonic VBs we have to worry about, those Four alone are each Rank 10 all stronger than Minrin, what do I do.'Lord Mark was starting to sweat a bit in nervousness, the amount of power one can control had alot to do with one's profession or strength before the power increase, most of the extremely strong people were some kinda assassins.

On the other hand Minrin was back seated casually enjoying the silent suffering of Lord Mark, she was not worried, in terms of her creators world even the strongest here were mere children, weak and pathetic.

."No need to look so nervous Pope Pope, I'm just here to play a little game, how about it, the last time I saw your little Priestess she did me pretty dirty, all I want is a rematch, if she can defeat me without her little fancy bolts then I won't destroy you all right now and kill all these wonderful people."Crystal said as she looked to the standing scaring them, she then looked to Minrin.

."Alright I accept."Minrin said as she jumped down from the podium walking towards Crystal calmly.

Lord Mark looked at angrily."What are you doing Minrin, do you know what you are saying, the Witch Of Forbidden Knowledge is not just some nobody you can take on without your divine power, if we just hold them off for a half hour we can get reinforcements."He said as he pressed a watch on his hand.

."Lord Mark, let us not trouble the children, oldies like us will soon be gone, the younger generation will have to make decisions themselves soon enough, it's a pity the Era of God began when we are so close to our deathbeds *sigh*, now, if you interfere I will kill all these people before I die, if Crystal loses then we will take our leave quietly, this I promise you."Angelika said with some amusement in her voice, but she was an honest woman.

Lord Mark clenched his teeth."That is not fair for Minrin, she is at an obvious and deliberate disadvantage, allow her use of her divine power."He said not willing to stand for this nonsense.

Angelika glanced at Crystal as ultimately it was her decision, Crystal tapped her chin for a bit making everyone nervous, she then looked at Minrin and smiled."Alright, I can do that, let's get at it then, all of you get back."She said to her people.

The demonic Volociblazers took some steps back creating a space for them to fight, Crystal and Minrin came face to face as they both stood, one with superb confidence along with sexiness and the other with a serene expression.

."I waited a long while to do this, last time you got me good, but now that I'm serious it is not going to be so easy for you."Crystal said with a savage grin.

*Dxd World*

*Human World*

*Kuoh Town*

*Forest*

*Haile's House*

*Daytime*

Haile was standing outside his house by himself, everyone else had left to carry out their roles, he looked to the sky for a bit before looking at his house.

."Might as well make something to eat."Haile said as he went inside his house shutting the door behind him as a smile appeared on his face.

He casually walked over to the kitchen and looked in the fridge."Ho, surprisingly everything is still fresh, thanks father."He said with a smile, he reached in and took out a few things.

In just a few seconds he had an assortment of food on the stove and in the oven, all sorts of meats and cake, an unusual combination, even more unusual is that most these are something that he himself would not usually eat.

While they cooked he read books and watch some tv on the couch, also took a bath, so by now 2 hours and a half had passed, the table was now decorated with so many foods it was like Haile was feeding a pet dragon.

Well close enough, Haile sat down at the table with a smile and took up a turkey leg eating it happily, he closed his eyes in enjoyment then opened them back.

*Chomp*

*Chomp*

*Gulp*

.""Thank you...""....
