Ch. 115 - Civil War! [4]

"And I declare the Four of you as the new Satans. Sirzechs, you shall inherit the name Lucifer and its territory along with the main capital of the underworld, Lucifaad." Sitting on a throne, Raviel, disguised as Zekram, loudly declared while four devils stood in front of him.

Sirzechs, wearing an official attire, stepped forward and bowed his head towards Zekram before stepping back.

"Ajuka, you shall inherit the name Beelzebub and its territory along with its cities." This time, it was Ajuka's turn to step forward and simply bowed his head but not low enough, probably because he strained his back yesterday due to experiments.

Zekram, of course, didn't mind this. In fact, he's the one who insisted that they don't kneel in front of him. If it were the original Zekram, then he would've been more than happy that the new Four Satans were kneeling to him.

But not Raviel. Mostly, because he finds such thing unnecessary and besides, he's not truly Zekram, if he were to make them kneel in front of him, then wouldn't Zekram's name benefit from it?

From the four devils standing in front of him, only Serafall and Ajuka knows that the original Zekram has long died and Raviel inherited everything he had, including the Power of Destruction.

"Falbium…." Mentioning the third name but receiving no reaction from the man, Zekram looked over and saw the reason why.

Although Falbium looks like he has his head slightly bowed but from his sharp senses, Raviel could tell that the man has fallen asleep, standing and while in a very important meeting.

'This guy….' Sirzechs, Ajuka and Serafall couldn't help their lips from quivering as they watched this unfold.

"Ehem. Could someone please….wake this man up." Holding himself from chuckling, he kindly asked those nearby.

Serafall, of course, wouldn't miss this opportunity. With a large grin on her face, she slowly walked from his behind before delivering the most devastating kick she could muster at the moment.

Bam!

"Guaaghk!" Falbium's bloodshot eyes snapped wide open as he found himself thrown forward, exactly in front of Zekram's throne.

"Good morning." Zekram snorted and greeted.

"Uh….I fell asleep again?" Falbium scratched the back of his head and said with an unsure tone.

"Yes. Yes you did. If I didn't know it better, I would've thought you fell into the sleep disease." Just by the mention of this disease almost made everyone in the hallway shiver.

The Sleep Disease. An incurable disease rising in the Underworld after the Great War, although it only affects devils for some reason.

Many doctors and devil magic experts have long tried to find the source of the disease and how can it be cured.

Some say it is God's punishment to devils in exchange for sparing them, while some say this is the result of Lucifer, their creator's death.

Countless theories were being thrown around and yet only a few theories were widely accepted as logical.

However, despite it all, no one has managed to uncover the truth, covering everyone in darkness about the Sleep Disease's truth.

'I should inquire Chamber about this. He might be able to get something on it.' Thinking about this, Raviel took note of it and decided to do it later after this.

Shifting his focus back to Falbium, who is now back on the line but this time, wide and awake, Raviel resumed.

"Falbium, you shall inherit the title of Asmodeus and its territory along with the cities it owns." With a slight bow of his head, Falbium stepped back down.

"And finally, last but not the least. Serafall. I see Chamber managed to convince you to accept this." Raviel jokingly said, making Serafall cross her arms and pout.

"Of course, he do…." Before her expression shifted to the one that looks like a high school girl in love for the first time.

"Because I love him and as his future and only wife, it's only natural for me to do as he says. If he tells me to jump on a bridge, I'll do it gladly!" Serafall finished with a lovestruck expression, her eyes closed and her mouth sighing in euphoria.

"Why is he so perfect…." Everyone couldn't help but stare at her with weird looks.

"Ehem!" Raviel quickly cleared his throat, snapping Serafall out of her preoccupied expression.

"Serafall, please step forward." Massaging his forehead, Raviel instructed.

Meanwhile, in his mind, he was questioning his brother's choice in women.

'Are you sure you're going this marry this girl, brother?'

"Serafall, you shall inherit the name of Leviathan along with its territory and the cities it owns." With that being said, the four new Satans of the Underworld has finally been formed.

"And before you all leave. I still have a few things to announce which soon every devil in the Underworld will know. However, I want you four to know it first-hand." Stopping them before they could leave, Raviel continued.

"First of all. Our population has gone down in 90% thanks to the Great War and the reckless action of the former Lucifer." Listening to this, everyone bore a solemn expression.

'Thankfully? Chamber priotized our clan members during that time. So far, only our clan retain its original strength.' Both Serafall and Ajuka mentally sighed in relief, silently expressing their gratitude to Chamber.

While the rest of the 72 pilllars of the Underworld were weakened greatly, especially the original Four Satan clans that is almost non-existent by now, only a few such as the Gremory, Bael, Sitri, Astaroth, Glasya-Labolas, and other more managed to maintain themselves.

With Gremory and Glasya-Labolas only managing to do so because not only they barely participated in the war but also because their territories are thousands of miles away from Lucifaad, sparing them from the invasion of Heaven and Lucifer's reckless decision of self-explosion.

"Second, thanks to Ajuka's creation, we would finally be able to solve the population problem, however with the rules set in the human world by the representative of the Human world, Sorcerer Supreme Chamber, we can only recruit few humans, so during the reincarnation process, we should heavily consider other races aside from humans."

"Such as Vampires, Fairies, Dwarves and also Werewolves."

"Last but not the least. We should also address the ongoing problem of the Civil War initiated by the children of the original Satans, they call themselves Old Satan Faction." Mentioning this alone made even Falbium snap out of his lazy demeanor and focus on his upcoming next words.

"As we all have expected, this Civil War would happen sooner or later. Thankfully, we were prepared and managed to gather many devil pillars as allies. However, this also put them at exposed and vulnerable against the Old Satan Faction." Several folders containing papers magically appeared in everyone's hands.

"Written in these papers are the clans that have already been attacked by the Old Satan Faction and also those who might get attacked next." Opening the folder, everyone read its contents with a serious expression.

"That's why I want all of you to establish your reputations through this. Repel their attempts to destroy our allies and not only you'll gain every single devil's trust but you would also instill the fear that the original Satans had. For now, everyone would doubt your capabilities."

"So it's time to show everyone what you all are capable of." With a determined look on his eyes, Raviel scanned everyone's faces and saw they share the same look that he has.

"Understood?"

"Yes!"

"I finally did it." Muttering to myself, I couldn't help but stare on my own hands.

"I finally saw the future!" Jumping from the ground I'm sitting in, I raised my arms in victory.

Thankfully, I'm alone in the training room, so no one saw how awkward I look.

After calming myself down, I went over the vision that I saw.

Similar to Nostradamus, my vision are shallow and vague, not giving anything valuable except for a few.

According to what I saw, I saw a brown-haired boy with a thick red gauntlet.

That's it. Nothing else.

Whoever that boy with a red gauntlet is, he must be someone important in this world for me to see him in the future.

"I should take note of his appearance. I'm not sure how far he is in the future but he must be the Tony Stark on this world, that red gauntlet of his looks a bit advance in technology. Though there's also a chance it might be a Sacred Gear or a Longinus." As I mutter to myself, I already drew the boy's face on na empty sheet of paper using magic and kept it in a secret compartment under my desk.

"Taking a peek in the future is truly exhausting. I envy Doctor Strange for being able to do it as many times as he want and being able to see different kind of future millions of times." I can't help myslef but grow a bit jealous for the holder of the Time Stone.

It's such a cheat tool compared to my Chronos Requiem, that is simply forged out of a fallen Titan god's soul.

Though if I were to unlock the Longinus's balance breaker, it might be able to stand a chance against the Time Stone.

Keyword 'Might'.

Since I'm not entirely sure how strong my Longinus would be with the Balance Breaker.

Knock!

"Come in." I answered and the door opened with Balthazar coming in with a slight nervous expression.

"Master, there's a situation going on in the west. Belle just recently reported it to us during her mission in the west." Sensing the tension in his voice, I put aside my thoughts and focused fully on him.

"Tell me."

"The Two Heavenly Dragons are causing chaos in the west. Their battle are causing so much destruction in the west that we feel like only you would be able to stop them."

"The Heavenly Dragons…" My eyebrows furrowed at the mention of those titles carrying a heavy weight.

"I thought those two are simple myths invented by the Dragons…" Unbeknownst to me, a grin crept up to my face and I muttered to myself.

"I wonder how strong they are."
