Capítulo 42: Chapter 11: Part 2

….
"What?" I was taken aback by the sudden revelation.
"The way she moved was highly reminiscent of Magicians….actual magicians, not the ones in the game. Her moves were something people only gained from actual combat."
"Are you sure? Did you talk to her?"
"Not yet. I am almost sure that she is from the supernatural side. I will observe her and talk to her after I can get a better read on her character. We are considering her for the team, right?"
"Hmm."
"Alright, let's stop talking about work. It's been more than a week since the last time you guessed what kind of being I was. So, did you find any clues?" She asked me with a smirk.
I rolled my eyes. "You could just tell me and we can get this over with."
"Eh, where's the fun in that?"
"Hmm. Then I will take another guess. You….might be some kind of demonic being, succubus or devil or something."
Surprisingly she giggled at my guess. "Oh my, do you really think so little of me?"
I shrugged. "You were the one who said I shouldn't believe what I hear until I get a chance to see and judge things for myself."
"That's true. Good job on that. So….what makes you think that? Why do you think I am some kind of demonic being and not some angelic being or something?"
I looked up at the ceiling. "Well, from the conversations we have had so far, I could tell that you didn't exactly have a good feeling for angels."
"So? I could be a Fallen Angel. Although corrupted, they do have light too." She insisted.
"The last time you told me the story about Faust and Mephisto, you were quite sympathetic towards the devils….almost too sympathetic as if speaking from experience rather than just mere observation."
"Oh, and?"
"That was the first clue which pushed me towards this line of thought. I guess that's it. I did say I was guessing, right? So did I get it right?"
She let out a chuckle. "Well I guess congratulations are in order."
"Huh?"
"Although you made two guesses, they were quite close so I give it a pass. Succubuses are demons, not exactly devils. Devils are the race created or reincarnated by Lucifer after his rebellion with Lilith. Demons are beings who have existed before that. Asmodeus, Beelzebub and even Mephisto Pheles were demons who were made into devils by Lucifer. Technically, Mephisto Pheles is older than Lucifer himself."
"Beelzebub and Lucifer are different? I thought it was the name of the same person, the one called Satan." I asked, suddenly taken aback at the statement, as that part struck me more than the whole mess she had suddenly spoken.
"Oh yes. Some people confuse it. Knowledge often changes over time. Your sources must be from the mundane world so it is understandable. There are four Satans in the Underworld, the Lucifer, the Leviathan, the Beelzebub and the Asmodeus. They are also called the four Great Satans." She spoke and suddenly a memory came to the surface of my mind.
….
It couldn't be….
I didn't say anything and she continued.
"After Lucifer rebelled against his father, he fled to the Underworld to escape with Lilith. But he didn't run away empty handed. Before running away, he had learned the mysteries of creation. So when he reached the Underworld, he used the same knowledge and with the help of Lilith, someone who had eaten the Fruit of Knowledge, created the whole Devil race. Among them, the strongest seventy two Devils were named the seventy two pillars. Apart from them, they created some more devils as personal servants. They were called the Extra Devil Houses."
The more she said, the clearer the image became in my mind.
….seriously….not that world.
"He ruled the Devil race with the other three whom he had formed an alliance with to fight off his father. Together, the four were called the Four Greater Satans and the rulers of the Devil race."
….
"Several thousand years passed by. In that time, several other of his siblings rebelled against his father or they were cast out for the smallest of follies. These people went on to become the Fallen Angels. These beings didn't forsake their light so they still held corrupted light in their bodies. They formed an organisation called the Grigori and started fighting against both devils and angels and their father, changing the two way fight into a three way free for all. Sure enough, there is only so long that all this resentment can last without blowing up. And when it did, there was War. The biggest war fought in this world….the Great War."
While she was saying this, my mind was abuzz with completely different thoughts, the prime of them being….'Please don't let it be the boob world.'
"This war lasted for a long time and was the bloodiest war in our world. Many Pillar Houses died along with the Four Satans before the war finally stopped. But that was not the end for the problems of the devil race. The descendants of the four Satans wanted to restart the war while most of the Pillar Houses were done with the hundreds of years of constant fighting and killing and wanted nothing more than to stop this war for good. This divide in opinions exacerbated over time and led to war, the Civil War of the Devil race."
….at this point, I was already sure that she was talking about the DxD world.
Well, it was either this or she was also a reincarnator….which was quite improbable. Not impossible as there was already one person, the person who created this game so there could always be more.
She however didn't realise my inner conflict and continued on with her story.
"The Civil War was a very dark period. During these times, we had to fight our own people, live every day in doubt and fear or being backstabbed by the people we called friends or having to kill members of our own family as there were several houses and even people from the same houses who stood on opposite sides of the battlefield. Thankfully, our side had more members and some heroes rose during such difficult times and won us the war, ending the era of terror."
She paused and took a deep breath as if remembering something and continued. "It was decided that the position of Satans will not be hereditary from then on and the ones who had contributed the most in the war, the strongest four, were made the new four Great Satans, although they had to break off any connection with their original clans."
Just to clarify things, I pushed myself and asked her the question. "What were their names?"
"Sirzechs Lucifer, Ajuka Beelzebub, Serafall Leviathan and Falbium Asmodeus."
….yeah, no more doubts. It was the same.
"These four changed the devil race almost completely, making the current devil race very different from what it was previously."
"Hmm?"
"Well, for starters, trading or consuming souls of humans or other races was banned completely. Secondly, we had lost most of our people in the two wars, putting us behind the Fallen Angels and Angels and they could have attacked and killed us at any time. Devils have a very low fertility rate and an average devil takes hundreds of years to have even one child. This meant it would have taken us thousands of years to get back our initial numbers and to solve this problem, Ajuka Beelzebub invented the Evil Pieces."
She then went on to explain everything about the Evil Pieces and the current devil society and the rest of the Supernatural world.
Finally at the end, when she stopped, I asked something which had been in my mind for a while.
"What is your name?"
"Oh my, I didn't introduce myself did I. I remember saying I would tell you about myself if you ever guessed my race. Alright then, my name is Venelana Gremory."
….
….
….
….
Fuck!
__________________________________x___________________________________
I woke up the next day with a slight headache.
The information I gained yesterday was enough to keep me awake the whole night….the fact that I was sleeping with the current Lucifer's mom also contributed to this fact.
Damn….
She was Venelana Gremory?
I mean she did look the part. Brown hair and purple eyes….
Moreover this was really that stupid boob world….
Have I been living for the last eighteen years in this boob world without even realising?
That brought up another thing to mind….just how did some Akihiko Kayaba wannabe manage to trap so many people in this game, including the fucking Lucifer's mother? There was no way they would just sit back and let such a thing happen….
What did that even mean?
I had been too busy with my thoughts to ask Venelana about her thoughts but if this guy had really managed to trap us inside, there was no way things were as simple as they looked.
Just who was the Game Master and what exactly was this Soul Art Online?
And how do I react from now on knowing I am in a world which was just an anime in my previous life?
I just remained there laying on the bed thinking about everything until Veena woke up.
"Good Morning." She wished as she rubbed her eyes and stretched on the bed.
"Good Morning." I wished normally.
First and foremost, there was still a non zero chance that she could also be a reincarnator so I wanted to wait till I had more clues.
She had said Elaine was probably a magician and she could probably tell me more about the situation.
Either way, there was no way I could tell anyone about me being reincarnated….at least not yet.
As for how to treat Veena, she hadn't treated me badly or let me down yet so it would be stupid to treat her differently after the revelation, especially since I more or less knew the story of this world.
While there was a chance that things could be different from what I knew, there was also an equal chance of it being similar. I needed more information before I could make more decisions.
