After having returned to his mansion, Lucifer arrived to greet Ryuu after having worked on collecting information about the conspiracy and corruption within the Devil Society. It was rather easy for when she has hypnosis that it tricks them into giving her everything that she needs. She sent out her familiars made from shadow and darkness having acquired everything.
In her homeworld, she certainly experiences the same thing as there are some Devils who refused to Cooperate namely Bael, Naberies, Velafor, Agares, Etc. They are in favor of Beelzebub who was against her in ruling hell but now she realizes her naivety and corrected his mistake thanks to Ryuu having severed her connection to Upper cosmos Lucifer. Though she still retains some basic traits of Lucifer, but Luci accepts her flaws and better herself from then on.
Luci went out after sensing Ryuu's arrival when she stopped when she found four women who reminded her of the woman that she thought of as her sister who perished after the rebellion.
They looked at her and smiled, introducing themselves and asking why she acted that way in which Ryuu replied. Agrats and Nammah were a bit surprised when they heard it along with Ingvild who was confused but everyone went inside the mansion where Lucifer talked to Ryuu with the other four former Edenim with him.
Ryuu went to a discussing room while they met up with Amihan who welcomed them and her consort asked Ingvild to give her own room. She happily accepted it seeing Lucifer and another group of girls. Ingvild reluctantly followed her leaving Ryuu to head into the discussion room.
Lilith, Eisheth, Agrat and Nammah were madden and infuriated when Lilith angered about her children's action even arrogant should have a line as crossing that line is borderline stupid while Eisheth didn't criticize her sister since she herself knows that she was a great mother. But in this world, perhaps she wasn't and likely been enslaved by DxD Lucifer.
Nammah suggested that they should punish them appropriately since they are likely being manipulated by something. Agrats agreed with her sentiment as they view them as their nieces and nephews. Lucifer doesn't know how she feels since the Demons in her worlds were all Angel that fell and turned into demons which meant she doesn't view them as her children nor family members.
Therefore, she suggested giving them a painful humiliation and punishment while Lilith disliked the idea since she didn't blame them aside from her bastard son, Rizevim. Lilith was willing to end him personally while she's going to search for her grandchild even if this is just a lower dimension and an echo of the original.
Lilith suggested seeing the situation first and giving them the appropriate punishment before turning their attention to their father and husband, Ryuu, who lost in his thoughts and all of them ask how to handle them since they are technically related to him. He finds himself contradicting everything he planned since his memory is still hazy about the upper cosmos.
He merely said that he'll punish them appropriately and making them suffer along with torturing them is an appropriate thing since they had been spoiled in high places far too much. Ryuu might be related to them but he's not that lenient in these kinds of things.
His daughters didn't refute his words since they all agreed they are beyond saving if they are not punished appropriately. He mentioned his meeting about the Great king and Extra Devil clan but the date is around a few days next week which was enough. Ryuu still wanted to confront Raiser and lecture him since he necessarily hated him especially in the novel. He's just a spoiled kid in eyes anyway.b
He would still beat him but enough to torture mercilessly. Unless he said something stupid then it's fine and not to mention his aiming to have Ravel. He had got the feeling she looks different in this world than the canon. Ryuu slowly maturing in a way that doesn't point to torture and murder.
'Those old coot and boomer still trying to reject the peace or at least the cooperation thinking they are better than everyone. *Sigh*....they got it from me or Yaldabaoth to be more precise.'
Ryuu shook the thoughts and already made his decision in fixing them a bit as he pondered about the hell in his homeworld. He decided to visit it later and create the Council of Godhead there as well. But left the idea on the shelf for now and ended their meeting before everyone headed to where everyone was.
Valerie, Ingvild and Asia were getting along with Nezuko and Jin-Ah while Kuroka with Shinobu and Kanae since both enjoy being playful with Kanae straightforward yet not force and Shinobu being quiet in her tease while Kuroka acts more proactive.
He went to visit his children with Mitsuri having a space for the children to play, finding the Primarch who began crawling since their development was a lot faster than normal while some maids held his blood related children.
Ryuu found Trese with Tawata among the children and went to hang out with them while he also went into his personal world using his omnipresence to see how it is progressing finding Elsa and Anna taking care of Erendel since he connected the world that he conquered or finish the narrative in which include kimetsu no yaiba and Solo leveling verse.
He smiled, letting them be since it was best not to spoil them too much and decided to have time alone and sat on his throne observing his Archon who helped him maintain his personal world akin to A.I. while he found Ion spreading his religion in Draconic deus in the shadow which he let him be.
'Should I use the reward then? Who will I summon? Isla, Elanor, Judecca what do you think?'
'Sure, Master! It's likely to be a woman anyway and adding more wouldn't hurt a fly!' (Elanor)
'Personally, I would wait until you've grown comfortable with everyone in your harem including us, Master. However, time isn't an issue anyway, which is why you should go for it. Though, I recommend only using one for the time being'
{ Master, do you wish the beneficial answer or how I feel about the situation? } ( Judecca )
'Both.' ( Ryuu )
{ For a beneficial answer, Master should follow his intuition and desire but about how I feel then it's best to go with Isla's suggestion to summon only 1 person for the time being. } ( Judecca )
Ryuu nodded and summoned a glass of Ambrosia wine since it is the only alcohol that gives a bit of buzz and the taste was beyond delightful. Within his Divine realm throne room, he had a Divine form that had now changed into that of a good looking old man wearing extravagant robes.

'This form doesn't scare anyone and can be considered fitting to be a god.'
He does like his form that seems more wise than his younger forms. Ryuu has so many forms that it is difficult to say which one he prefers but he'll enjoy this form for the time being. After he took a sip of his wine and placed it into the armrest of his throne before walking down to use his summoning ticket.
'Now that I think about it, I haven't used my Gacha for a while now huh? Hmmmmm, Judecca, use all my points in buying normal tickets before converting them.'
{ Buying....done. 1,000,000 normal tickets. }
{ Converting….. 1 Gold Gacha Ticket. }
Ryuu nodded since he doesn't mind it and the system refused to be cheated on not allowing him to abuse his power. He stored the Gacha ticket for the time being which he'll likely not even use and quickly took out the summoning ticket.
He activated it where a bright light appeared as Ryuu stood waiting at what he summoned where his family crest appeared on the ground then the light slowly dimmed down and before him was a young woman with a rather voluptuous build with short smooth dark hair. Ryuuu frowning seeing her naked body annoyed that the system didn't bother giving her any clothes and used his power to give her one.
She emanated a playful yet mature demeanor and calmly observed the surrounding landing on Ryuu and said in a rather horse yet alluring voice.
"Are you…god?"
Her words didn't hold any doubt and only wished for confirmation while Ryuu stared at her for a moment giving a welcoming smile and said.
"Depends on how you view gods but yes, I am a god, Himeno-san."
==========
"Don't die on me, Aki-kun."
Himeno, a Public Safety Devil hunter, an individual (human or otherwise) who, as the name would imply, have taken it upon themselves to fight against Devils whenever a threat related to them should arise in the world. They tend to use contracts with Devils as means of standing a chance in combat against their monstrous opponents, giving them a massive advantage over standard law enforcement when Devils should appear.
At the current moment, she is currently dying after being ambushed by an enemy forcing herself to sacrifice everything slowly having her body part disappear as compensation for using the power of a Devil. She was at death door and giving her final words to her friend and coworker as she saw his horrified expression.
"So that when I die…you can cry for me."
In that moment, everything vanished as if the light had been flicked and now Himeno found herself in an endless darkness with her thoughts occupied wondering how her allies were doing and if they won the fight.
'I have many regrets but…this is fine.'
She thought to herself having left her parents and younger sister. Himeno's dream was simple: survive and be lucky to have her own family before retiring. Though, she herself knew having joined the Public Safety Devil Hunter dying was guaranteed and had seen many people die before her eyes including former co workers.
She hid the pain of losing people and tried to be playful, treating her life as if it was the last day since in a way it is. Now the day had come, Himeno pondered where she was going and if her soul would be included in the control.
'...W-What is that?'
At the endless darkness was a light where it engulfed her where she couldn't see anything but the blinding light until it slowly faded away confused at her situation seeing pillars as if they were holograms then her eyes saw a handsome old man who was somewhat her type wearing a rather extravagant robe. He was staring at her, emanating an enticing vibe and had a calm demeanor. Himeno couldn't help but ask.
"Are you…god?"
It was the only conclusion she had when her death was fresh in her mind and finding herself in an usual place made it even more convincing. The 'god' before her seemed to chuckle and said.
"Depends on how you view gods but yes, I am a god, Himeno-san."
She was a bit surprised that he knew her name but calmed down since he was a god and scratched the back of her head surprised that she had her body back wearing her Public Safety Devil Hunter uniform. Himeno then looked back at the god but he was nowhere to be found and saw that the place changed into a beautiful forest then turned to find him sitting at a circular table drinking what seemed to be a wine and gesture to sit down and do as told.
"Do you want some alcohol?"
"Sure, why not."
Her situation was unusual but she craved some alcohol especially after everything and saw a canned beer appeared out of nowhere that only confirmed that the person before her is a god. She opened the beer and chugged it in one go surprising the god but smiled as he took a sip while Himeno finished drinking.
"Aaahh~ That's the stuff. Here I thought I wouldn't get the chance to drink. Anyways, I ask you some questions?"
"Of course, I'll answer any question if I deem necessary."
"Where am I?"
"In my divine realm. This is my home with my wives and children."
"Wives? That's certainly surprising? Wait what god are you? Is it the Big G in the west or is it the Shinto gods?"
"I guess western. Have you heard of Yaldabaoth before?"
"Nope. Who's that? You?"
"In a way, yes. I am known by many names and I have a mortal name called Ryuu. And don't mind being called that.
"Ryuu huh? What kind of god are you then?"
"I am God of Emotion and Desire along with Flesh, Blood, Plague, Depravity and as well as God of Evil."
Himeno was a bit taken aback hearing the title, especially being labeled as God of Evil.
"God of Evil? You sound more like a devil than a god."
"You're not wrong though. I am also the Primogenitor of Daemon. It is another term for what your world calls Devil."
"What!? So you're the one who made those devils appear in our world!?"
Himeno shouted a bit forgetting that she might suffer from yelling at a god while the person in question shook his head and said.
"No, normally Daemon or what you call Devil are Spirit created by the Emotion and Desire of humanity. However, something went wrong and those Daemon had been inflicted by Madness."
A part of Yaldabaoth after being defeated by Azathoth had been sent to their world having sent a Maddening form of Daemon.
"Daemon spirit would be a blessing instead of a curse to a world like yours."
Himeno decided to give up since she can't do anything against a god and it's not like things would change if those devils are gone since they're still corrupt and crimes are going to happen. She wanted to ask more but gave one last question.
"Well whatever, I'm dead anyway. That aside, what now? Will I go to hell? Heaven? Reincarnate?"
"Not really, truth to be held you're not dead anymore. Also, don't you want to return back to your world and fix everything? Cause I'm planning on doing that when I get the chance but unfortunately I have yet to have the power to access that world since I'm not at my full strength."
Himeno was perplexed at his words and surprised that a god has limited power but put it aside and said.
"Wait…you mean I can go back home?"
