10 Years Later
It has been ten years since he had been reborn in this world. During these 10 years, most of his time was spent either on training and getting stronger or studying. In his past life, he was an orphan, so having a parent was a new experience, a very welcomed one.
His mother was excessively overprotective of him, though, that one was certain, judging by the number of times she argued with my father over his training and some other things, which was practically incalculable because it was every time here and often.
Being born as one of the strongest beings in the world certainly had some good perks, especially in terms of resources and power.
That was also the reason why he chose to be reborn with the highest background possible, as this way he would not only obtain the might of the entire faction behind him but also obtain powerful abilities from his parents, which was certainly true as he was the son of one of the strongest Gods in the Draconic Deus.
From his father, Shiva, the God of Destruction, Yhwach inherited the Divine Authority of the Destruction. Naturally, it wasn't a much developed one, compared to his father, but it was still extremely powerful.
His starting note was already much, much higher than the rest of the people within this world, as the Heritage of his parents was something that would instantly make him powerful as fuck.
He predicted that even if he went without training and just spent his time lazing around, in a few years, he would still reach Level 3, though it would take him around thirty or forty years, but alas, he would still get there.
Now he could understand why most of the Pure-Blooded Devils were depending on just aging up to reach Level 3 or, as it was for them to know, the High-Class. While it took them decades, it was without work, and they were able to obtain power to obliterate entire towns and or city blocks without doing anything at all.
On a bright note, he was regarded as a genius in almost everything that he attempted to do.
Playing with Magic became something to pass the time for him, and with his superior intelligence coupled with the Unique Skill Great Sage, comprehending much of the Magic wasn't a problem.
With the existence of the Great Sage and its Sub-Skills, Thought Acceleration, Analytical Appraisal, Parallel Calculation, Analysis, and Chant Annulment, one could say that his entire being was practically made for Magic and its usage.
With Thought Acceleration and Parallel Calculation, he could conduct the creation of the Magic Circle and Spell models in almost an instant, and at the same time, he didn't have a problem casting several spells at the same time with ease.
If he added into it Chant Annulment, which allowed him to shorten Chants for some more advanced spells and entirely omit them for the ones that were not that advanced, Yhwach was capable of spamming complicated Magic Spells in a matter of seconds.
Meanwhile, Analytical Appraisal and Analysis allowed him to completely comprehend most of the all-new Magic and Spell Models that he wished to learn or to obtain a perfect understanding of the Magic that he had already learned.
He was essentially a walking cheat and was able to learn Magic as easily as breathing. The sole reason why he refrained from branching into the different branches of Magic was that he wanted to focus as much as possible on his innate Magics, namely the Divine Magic and Angel Magic.
Less being said that, due to his species, the Divine Magic and Angel Magic were something that he was entirely natural, and he was already nearing the level of Adepts in just a mere ten years. Not only in terms of firepower and mastery over the Spells but also in the Lore, he was one of the most accomplished individuals.
Obviously, the Divine Magic he was using was entirely tied to the Hindu Pantheon that was taught to him by his father, Shiva, while his mother, Tashamal, taught him everything that he needed to know about wielding the Holy Power and Angelic Magic.
Due to his heritage, he obtained the racial qualities and quantities of both of his parents, inheriting the best abilities and traits from both of them, which make Yhwach very, very powerful.
And right now, he knew that soon enough, he would be in deep trouble because he was once again conducting experiments with the Space Magic that he picked up a few months ago, because he was almost obsessed with learning new Magics and the feeling of getting stronger and more powerful.
He often carried out experiments with his Magic and created new spells, which was already something that he was rather famous for across the entire Draconic Deus because his father boasted how much genius he was.
Which, technically speaking, wasn't a lie as it was just a truth.
Though right now, he wasn't really feeling like the well-praised genius... right now, his latest experiment wasn't going well, as one of the runes in the Magic Circle malfunctioned and created unrestricted teleportation, which teleported Yhwach to the Underworld.
That certainly wasn't a good thing for him, because there were no allies here.
Only enemies.
The Cosmology of the Draconic Deus, which was the name of Earth or how it was called here, was weird. One could say that Earth was the birthplace of all supernatural factions; each faction or Pantheon was either currently residing directly on Earth or in a different realm.
The Divine Realms of various Pantheons like Olympus for the Greek Pantheon, Yggdrasil for the Nordic Pantheon, Takamagahara for the Shinto Pantheon, and many, many more were tied to the Draconcic Deus through various ways.
One of the most common were direct lines or pathways, interconnecting each of the separate Dimensions with that of the Planet Earth.
The current supernatural world has long withdrawn from the face of Earth, which was stupid in Yhwach's opinion, but he was too weak to voice his thoughts. In this world, only strength matters; nothing else is more important than the personal power of an individual, so if he wanted to have his ideas taken seriously, he would need to be powerful enough.
This withdrawal only caused the collective weakening of all Pantheons, because in the end, everyone just got weaker. Mostly because the humans forgot their faith in their Gods, and many Pantheons had a much smaller pool of people to recruit to their forces.
This caused collective weakening and, in some cases, rather a severe decline because the Dimensions of some Pantheon were not really that big. And even the big Dimensions, like the Three Realms and Nine Realms of Yggdrasil, while several times bigger than Earth itself, were much lower in terms of population.
The Underworld as a whole was several times larger than Earth and was divided into what one could call Domains. Each Domain was controlled by some faction or Pantheon, though from what he learned, some were left alone, and only monsters were roaming them.
Judging based on the purple sky and creepy-looking forest, it was easy to tell that he was right now within the Abrahamic Domain of the Underworld. He was in either the Devil Territory or Fallen Angel Territory because only their territories looked creepy.
He could also be in one of the abandoned territories that were abandoned during the Great War of Supernatural or the Devil Civil War. Yhwach didn't know much of Devil's history to confidently conclude when these territories were abandoned, but he was rather sure that they were abandoned a long time ago.
It was certainly a sad sight because the once prosperous cities and territories were now turned into ruins, where only Magic Beasts thrived safely. One thing that he remembered was that the abandoned Territories within the Underworld were swarming with immeasurable numbers of Magic Beasts or Demonic Beasts.
Demonic Beasts were essentially the Magic Beasts that were corrupted by the essence of the Underworld, and their Magicules gained Demonic Properties for some reason, so they were rather distinctive from the average Magic Beasts.
Demonic Beasts were far more aggressive and territorial; they typically gave rather big headaches to the Devils and Fallen Angels, as they often raided their territories or attacked their cities.
So yeah, the Underworld wasn't that safe place; who would have guessed that?
Howevert for Yhwah, being in the Devil Territory was especially terrible news for many, many reasons. He didn't really like Devils; perhaps it was his distaste for the species that he learned from Indra, who outright hated everything that was related to the Abrahamic Pantheon.
Though he could understand the sentiment because their species was too arrogant for their own good. The Angels were generally ignored because they were not really a threat and even, in fact, had good relationships with some other factions.
The same could be said about the Fallen Angels of Grigori, who, under the leadership of their Governor-General Azazel, maintained very good relationships with several Pantheons and traded with even more factions.
But the same cannot be said about the devils that were generally hated race. Especially due to the invention of the Evil Pieces that allowed the Devil Race to reincarnate other species into the Reincarnated Devils, effectively enslaving them to the will of their master, making them unanimous enemy number one.
Due to that the Devils were generally not welcomed across the entire Draconic Deus Dimension and the best relationship that the Devils had with different factions was Neutra, all Pantheon either treated them with mild hostility or just outright hated them.
Still, they were rather fortuitous, as the Devil Race altogether had several Level 8 Beings in the form of Sirzechs Lucifer, Ajuka Beelzebub, Rizevim Livan Lucifer, and Zekram Bael. Even though they were just at the bottom of Level 8, their existence still was like that of Protector of the entire Devil Species, but most importantly, they were deterrents for the other factions to attack them.
Especially when, three of the four, were technically speaking allied with each other to maintain the power of their faction.
Yhwach was already standing out greatly in this place, with his rather tall stature for his age, his aquamarine blue hair with a goldish-tingle that was almost shining, and his golden eyes were even shinier than gold itself.
"Fuck... when I return back home, I won't be hearing the end of this from mom... this is going to be such a pain in the ass."
His mother was always the stricter one when it came to his parents, and she was always very creative with her punishments for him if he did something wrong. He couldn't even imagine what she would come up with when she realized that he had accidentally teleported to the Underworld.
While Thashamal, the Seraphim of Doom and Damnation, wasn't affiliated with Heaven or even the Abrahamic Pantheon as a whole, among the Devils and Fallen Angels, there were many who had nightmares about her very own existence.
He grew up on stories of how she led the charge during the Great War and slaughtered tens of thousands of Devils and Fallen Angels.
"Great, Sage. Any possible solutions?"
Even though Yhwach was a Level 3 Being, which meant that his energy reserves in the aspect of Holy Power and Divine Energy were comparable to High-Class Devils, that didn't mean that he had the necessary skills of one.
While he was confident of defeating those who had never trained and could barely fight with any semblance of skill, if he were to face experienced Level 3 combatants, then he would need to either escape or hope for some luck to be on his side.
And unfortunately, teleportation between the Underworld and Earth was out of his specter of abilities. If it wasn't for the accident during his experiments, there would be no way something like that would be possible.
Yhwach learned rather hard way that teleporting between the Earth and Dimensiona attached to the Earth was not as simple as it was showcased in the anime, and as he thought over it, many things were different from what he remembered.
It wasn't that hard to come to the conclusion that this was some kind of alternate world. When he thought about it, their rather developed Power Classification should have been the first testimony that was giving it away.
<Summoning the host's familiar and letting him teleport the host back home.>
Yhwach visibly cringed at the idea because summoning his familiar might prove problematic, as that lazy dragon was sleeping all the time. Though, Dragons were inherently lazy, as they spent most of their free time sleeping, for them, sleeping was just another way of getting stronger.
Something that he observed around Dragons was that their bodies naturally absorbed Magicules from the environment, and their Dragon Hearts refined these Magicules and thus increased their Magic Capacity during this sleep. This was the basic secret of how the Dragons could get stronger just by sleeping around.
On a side note, Magicules was something that Yhwach in his past life knew as just Mana or Magic Power. Basically, it was the kind of energy that was similar to atoms and made up of another particle called Spiritrons.
They were invisible to the naked human eye and, despite having mass, do not normally interact with most types of physical matter and energy, although they are capable of doing so. They act as a sort of radiation and can be found inside of materials as well as in the atmosphere.
He was still researching them in depth, as this would be a world-shaking discovery if something like this had been discovered in his first life.
Though back to summoning his Familiar, which was proving a bit more difficult because if he summoned something like that, then it would cause a great commotion, and his parents would know he had disappeared.
However, he knew that, for they were already aware of it.
Summoning his Familiar was probably the best bet that he had right now, even though he knew that it would be a pain in the ass. Aside from that, he needed to summon him at a place where it wouldn't attract attention.
Such large-scale summoning would create large disturbances in the environment and disrupt the flow of Magicules in the environment, which in turn would make it much easier for the people with developed Magic Sense to realize that something wasn't right in this part of the Underworld.
Or else, he would be targetted by both the Old Satan Faction and as well the New Satan Faction, not talking about the Grigori that were near and whatever may be hiding within the depths of the Underworld.
Though, Yhwach was also aware that there were not many in the Draconic Deus who would really dare to do something to him, considering his parentage and background. Not many would dare to offend Shiva, the God of Destruction, who only got more powerful during the past ten years.
The Hindu Pantheon put aside their internal problems from what he knew now that his father and uncle Indra created peace to prepare for something that was coming for them in the future.
It seemed almost surreal that when Shiva and Indra put away their hostilities and started merging their faction, their Pantheon could be whole once again.
He suspected that both of them must know about the ExE Gods that were targeting the Draconic Deus, but only that would be a significant reason for them to put aside the conflicts that they had had for hundreds of thousands of years.
'The best course of action should be to head to some remote area, probably the ones inhabited by a lot of Demonic Beasts and Monsters, and I can summon Vritra there to teleport me back home.'
This was the best solution to his predicament right now.
A few years ago, the Hindu Pantheon managed to get back all of the Vritra's Sacred Gears by trading / pressuring Grigori to trade for them. Courtesy of the cooperation of Indra and Shiva, the Fallen Angels were forced to trade the Sacred Gears back.
Once they were in the hands of the Hindus, the Gods of Creation worked to free Vritra from his prison and resurrect the once-great Dragon King. Unfortunately for the Prison Dragon King, he lost a chunk of his power in the process, but it seems that it was a small price for the freedom.
His father and mother then tied Vritra to him to act as his familiar so he would have another extra layer of protection. Before the Prison Dragon King was sealed by the God of the Bible into the five Sacred Gears, he was very strong.
Even though he wasn't the strongest of the Dragon Kings and close to the Heavenly Dragon Level, he had a certain set of abilities that were very troublesome to deal with, even by beings that were much stronger than Vritra.
To be sure that he chose the right way, Yhwach used the "Almighty" to confirm the best possible path in the future. The Almighty was the ability that allowed one to not only see the future but also to alter the causality...
Which was a frightening ability.
In a split moment, his golden pupils split in two as his Divine Energy was drained at a staggering rate, but at the same time, he revealed a very satisfied smile.
"So it seems..."
He then released three pairs of his golden-crimson wings, flapping with them, as he flew towards a certain direction to the north.
Because of his heritage as a Demigod-Angel Hybrid that bore the traits of the God of Destruction and True Seraphim of Doom and Damnation, one of the strongest True Seraphim in the Heavens that were comparable to the Super Devils.
His mother was one of the Angels and Fallen Angels who managed to break through the constraints of Heaven's System.
***
Underworld, former Lucifer Territory, Lucifaad.
Lucifaad was in the center of the former Territory of the House Lucifer, the original Capital of the Devil Faction within the Underworld. It was once a grandiose city, an enormous metropolis that was home to tens of millions of Devils.
Unfortunately, during the Great War of the Supernatural, the city was largely destroyed and in the subsequent Devil Civil War, it was mostly abandoned. After the defeat of the Old Satan Faction, they decided to entirely abandon the city, while the New Satan Faction were not interested in the monument of the old regime.
Thus, right now, the city was empty, home only to the skeletons of Devils that fought in the Devil Civil War and occasional mercenaries that were employed during the war. Not even monsters and Demonic Beasts for whatever reason didn't dare to approach this place.
In fact, from what Yhwach heard, the entire place, meaning the entire Lucifer Territory, was considered a cursed one, and nobody really wanted to have anything with it. This place really looked like it was cursed with all of the decay and everything around it, but the remnants of the once glorious civilization still remained.
The stone withstood it all, and even though the city was snow-long, destroyed, and abandoned, some of the towering structures and their remains of it were still standing proudly, high in the sky.
Indicating the long-lost prosperity of the Devil Race under Lucifer. The Devils never recovered from the Great War of Supernatural, where their numbers took a very serious hit, and due to the foolishness of the descendants of the Original Satans, the Devil Civil War essentially crippled the already destroyed faction whose glory was lost.
Yhwach was taking his lessons in politics rather seriously, so he knew the complexities between the various factions and some information about their history and how they grew to the state they were in today.
"It should be somewhere here... no... maybe a little east."
Yhwach muttered as he flew across the ruins of the majestic city of Lucifaad. While occasionally looking at the place. A certain part of him was tempted to go and see if the devils didn't leave something in this place.
Though...
On the other hand, he knew that they must have for sure scoured this place through and through before it was entirely abandoned, so most probably, nothing aside from rubles and useless things remained here.
This was confined when he couldn't sense anything even with the usage of the Almighty, and the Almighty was never wrong, so he decided to ignore his greed and robbing tendencies and flew forward.
<Magical Anomaly detected approximately 3,5 kilometers to the south. The number of Magicules in the area is increasing at a very fast speed.>
Suddenly, he heard the voice of the Unique Skill Great Sage, which made him raise his head and look in the southern direction. Even he could sense the disturbance in the Magicules as his senses were rather superior to most of the people, so it wasn't that problematic to notice it.
"What anomaly?"
This could be practically anything because the word "anomaly" was rather vague terminology, so if he could, he wanted to obtain more information about the thing where he was going to as he was curious and he couldn't contain his curiosity too much.
Not to mention, he spent his entire life in the Dimension of the Hindu Pantheon in the Mount Kailash, as he mother wouldn't really let him leave here and there. At most, he could visit realms of Asuras and Uncle's Indra Realm under her supervision, but that was all.
<Magical Anomaly categorized as Spatial-Temporal Distortion.>
<Analysing.>
<Analysis complete.>
<Magical Anomaly has Devil Origin. Most probably a devil teleportation spell.>
Hearing the analysis of the Great Sage, Yhwach smiled broadly, because everything was falling into his masterplan... though not entirely, but at least partially...
***
Somewhere near Lucifaad
In the dense forests that surrounded the former capital of the Devilkind, a young girl with light silver-white hair ran through the forest with great haste, not daring to look backward as if she were being pursued by someone.
She didn't look in the best condition, as she had bruises and injuries around her entire body and it was clear that she was on the run for some time already. This state wasn't something that could be achieved only after traveling for a few days.
[You are close to the borders of the Devil Territory. After a few days you should arrive at the Fallen Angel Territories.]
The Fallen Angel Territory within the Abrahamic Domain of Underworld was very close to the former Lucifer Territories.
The portion of the Underworld belonging to the Fallen Angels after they fell from Heaven was much smaller than the Devil Territories, as they controlled only approximately 1/4 compared to the Devil Territories.
And yet, comparing the Fallen Angel's Territory to the Devil Territory, even though the Fallen Angel one was several times smaller, it still had many free areas compared to the number of its residents.
The residents living on the Fallen Angel's side are the pure Fallen Angels, the races that have a relation to the Fallen Angels, and the half-Fallen Angels born between Fallen Angels and other races.
The Great War of Supernatural took a great tool on the Fallen Angels, as they suffered one of the heaviest losses, but at the same time, they started reproducing pretty fast and it was predicted that a few centuries would take them to eclipse the Devils in pure numbers.
Still, the Devils were superior to the Fallen, mainly due to the existence of their Clan Traits and several of their powerhouses that were basically far stronger than anything that the Fallen Angels could bring out.
According to the information that was publically known, the Devils had several Level 8 beings that reached the level of the 2nd Generation Primordial God, at least in the terms of the raw power, because the Gods had various passive abilities that made them much harder to defeat and kill.
Aside from that, they also had some Level 7 Super Devils, so they were rather powerful, which allowed them to remain existing, even though everyone around them hated their race to the core.
They were far stronger than the Fallen Angels by a great margin, though at the same time, the Fallen Angels were able to overcome the tremendous disparity in power through the racial weakness of Devils to the Holy Light.
That was something that was drilled into Yhwach that the conceptualizations of the Levels of Power were not absolute by both of his parents. Technically speaking, even humans with Saced Great True Longinus could maximally reach only Level 4, the so-called Ultimate-Class.
And yet such humans could, under the right circumstances, kill the most powerful Super Devils or even some of the God Kings if they played their cards right.
The humans on Draconic Deus were indeed the race that was the weakest of all... the racial limits they had were very severe, limiting their growth to Level 3 maximally and no more.
Only a few selected could, through special limits, reach Level 4 by breaking their Limits, but only to Level 4 and no more. Yhwach suspected that it had something with the Rules by which this world operated.
< You are a short distance from the target.>
Hearing what the Unique Skill Great Sage stated caused Yhwach to flap his wings once more as he increased his speed and flew to his target.
***
Somewhere near Lucifaad.
And while Yhwach was flying at this precise place, the same girl that was running was already approaching the borders between the Devil Territories and Fallen Angel Territories.
[Stop... I sense someone, and a powerful one at that, at least a High-Class devil, a peak High-Class devil according to the energy, but it has a very Divine feeling...]
The girl that was running stopped suddenly when she heard a deep, powerful voice within her mind. The Divine Aura of Level 3, at least in the Underworld, was very weird because the closest territory of anything even remotely related to the Divine was that of Hades.
And if the source of the power was related to Hades, then they were pretty much fucked up as Hades hated Devils more than anything, not to mention the personal strength of Hades was nothing to scoff at, as the God of Underworld was classified as Peak Level 8 with combat prowess bordering the Level 9 if he used his Divine Kingdom.
"What are you implying, Albion?"
She asked with a very tired voice; it was evident from her tone that she already needed rest, and the last thing that she needed was to encounter some powerful Devil or hostile Fallen Angel.
The sole reason why she has headed towards the Fallen Angel Territories was due to the Albion's advice.
She knew that once she met Azazel, she could obtain protection from her pursuers, and as one of the few True Seraphims, Azazel was powerful enough to fight with the Super Devils head-on.
And with his mastery over the Light, personal Magic, and his Magical Technology, he could even fight the Sirzechs Lucifer, Ajuka Beelzebub, Zekram Beal, and her dammed grandfather for some time before he would create some trap to even the odds even more.
Albion Gwyder, the White Dragon Emperor of Supremacy, one of the Heavenly Dragons that, was killed at the end of the Great War of Supernatural and his soul was sealed into the Sacred Great Longinus Divine Dividing.
[It is an aura that I haven't felt for a very long time... and something that I wish never to meet again, Valiana... it is reminiscent the Shiva, the God of Destruction, and deeper inside, there is something, Holy like that of the pigeons.]
Shiva, the God of Destruction, made even the mighty Heavenly Dragon, White Dragon Emperor of Supremacy Albion Gwyder, wary. Long ago, he once fought against the God of Destruction, but he lost very miserably.
Albion knew very well the depths of the Shiva's power, because he wasn't only extremely powerful in the terms of pure Divine Energy, but his mastery over his Divine Authority of Destruction has already reached limits a long, long ago.
From what he remembered, through one of his past hosts who met Shiva a few decades ago, made him realize that the God of Destruction wasn't very far from the level of the 1st Generation Primordial Gods.
If he reached that level, he would instantly become a frightening entity, probably much stronger than Ophis herself, mainly due to the fact that Ophis wasn't much of a fighter as she preferred just to use her overwhelming power and strength of the Infinity.
It was long ago, since one of the Gods reached that level...
The sole reason why Yahweh didn't really dare to fully attack the other Pantheons was especially due to the existence of the 1st Generation Primordial Gods, who were mostly slumbering and sleeping.
[You should be ready... the person with that aura started moving and is heading our way.]
Valiana initially got nervous because she wasn't in a state to fight against anyone, and if it was someone with origins related to the Hindu God of Destruction, then the sole option that she had was to escape.
But it seemed that the choice was already taken out of her hands, as the person had already arrived faster than she could decide on what to do. Suddenly, she was overwhelmed by the Divine Energy, but at the same time, she was also feeling highly uncomfortable due to the presence of the Holy Power.
[Impossible... this...]
Albion muttered from within the Longinus Divine Dividing as soon enough, a small silhouette appeared from a distance.
