章 327: Unexpected News

SLAM!

"YOU'RE TELLING ME HE WAS RIGHT THERE, OUTNUMBERED FOUR TO ONE, AND YOU DIDN'T DO A DAMNED THING TO HIM?!"

As the entire sky fortress shuddered with the impact of Gyokuro hitting the stone table, and her shrieking voice, Miyabi just casually took a drag off of his cigarette while Kahlua looked nervous in the face of her mother's rage. Eventually Miyabi said,

"I already said we tried to attack him, but he held us both back without even laying a single finger on us." As he trailed off the next person to speak was the newest addition to the division leaders, the elderly crone Oyakata.

"And neither myself nor my former disciple could have done anything after he took our catalysts from us, we might as well have been as weak as humans at that point." As she said the last part her voice turned slightly venomous from having to compare herself to the filthy humans. Of course Gyokuro sneered contemptibly at Oyakata's admission of weakness, to which the elderly witch simply sneered back before ignoring her.

At one point in time witches had been seen as the bridge between Youkai and humans, however in the current world they were held in contempt by both sides. The humans naturally considered the power of witches to be evil or unnatural, typically assuming they had them due to some sort of deal with the devil; while Youkai considered witches to simply be humans with some abilities, and nothing to be proud of. While they normally would have never worked together, in this instance Oyakata and Gyokuro both had the same goal and enemy, and the same need for allies. And so, despite the two sneering at each other, neither made a move until Gyokuro asked Miyabi,

"So what else did he say?" Miyabi ignored the pissing match taking place before him, and casually answered,

"Only that he intends to attack us in about a month, and to use the time until then to prepare our strength and remaining forces to face him." When they heard this the rest of the division leaders made a face, and the Raijū Raika even asked,

"Is he an idiot? Who tells their enemy exactly when they'll invade them?" While everyone else nodded in agreement, Miyabi answered,

"I asked the same thing, and his answer was that there was no possible chance for us to be victorious in the first place, so it'll hopefully make the fight not as 'boring'." There was a stunned silence around the table, before every single division leader started emitting a serious killing intent from how pissed they were. Gyokuro then spat,

"Even if he says that, there's nothing saying we have to play by his rules-"

"He also said that if we tried something beforehand then we'll just die faster, that we should just focus on preparing for the battle as much as possible." When she heard this Gyokuro made as close to a stupid expression as she ever had before, before it turned into a snarl as she spat,

"I refuse to be told what I can't or can't do by him! If he doesn't want us to do something until he's ready, that that just means that-"

THUNK!

Right as Gyokuro was mid-rant, a knife suddenly fell from nowhere and landed directly in front of her point down, sinking into the stone table by a few inches. Attached to it was a slip of paper that simply said 'Temper temper- D.E.' with a smiley face drawn on the bottom. As she quickly read what was on the paper, Gyokuro's face suddenly turned from pale to green, then to the deepest shade of red any of those around had ever seen before she shouted,

"I THOUGHT THIS PLACE WAS CHECKED FOR THOSE FILTHY INTRUDERS!"

While she started shouting, everyone else turned deathly pale at the real meaning of the message, that they were never out of reach or out of sight for this Dragon Emperor. This meant he was seemingly always watching them and knew what they were doing right as they did it, meaning they'd never be able to get the jump on him unless they eliminated whatever means he was using to spy on them.

What none of them knew was that the one who sent the message wasn't even Alex, but was actually Endou since he hadn't been told to leave the Flying Fortress yet. Naturally he had been told to keep an eye on how they would react to Alex's declaration of war, and to intervene in some way if they tried to do something stupid. Even now Endou was standing to the side casually as Gyokuro ordered everyone to search the entire fortress once more for him, none of them even registering that he was right in front of them.

'I'm not bothered by the fact they can't see me, not at all....' He kept telling himself as everyone left, fighting back the urge to cry even if them noticing him meant he'd probably die against a foe like Gyokuro.

With only the two of them left in the meeting room, after a few minutes Endou considered returning to the empty room he had claimed to hide in when suddenly the giant monitor lit up and a new face appeared, or rather a new mask.

"Gyokuro, I hear things aren't going well for you...." The being said in a creepy drawn out voice, making Gyokuro look up suddenly before she said without any enthusiasm,

"Your majesty, I wasn't aware that you'd be calling in." The masked being chuckled at her comment before saying,

"I call whenever I want, and especially when such disturbing news reaches me, like this so called 'Dragon Emperor'." Gyokuro snorted when she heard him, and stated irritably,

"He's a coward that'll be dealt with when he decides to show himself instead of skulking in the background. He thinks we'll listen to his threats and not do anything until he says, but once he intruder is dealt with then we'll begin our attack on the human cities to draw him out-"

"That won't be necessary." The Masked King suddenly cut her off, making Gyokuro blink suddenly before he continued, "I have it on good authority that this 'Dragon Emperor' intends to undo the Great Alucard's seal as well, which he would most likely do during his attack. All we need to do is hold him off until Alucard awakens, and then he'll fall under His might regardless of how powerful he thinks he is." Gyokuro was stone faced when she heard this, but instead of arguing she simply stood and kneeled respectively before saying,

"As you command, your majesty." Satisfied, the Masked King cut off the transmission with Gyokuro, who left to start preparing for the attack. What she didn't know however, was that the Masked King had already decided to dispose of her during the battle against the Dragon Emperor, using her and the rest of her forces as cannon fodder to weaken and exhaust the Dragon Emperor as much as possible before Alucard awoke, and destroyed them all.

***

BOOM!!!

A shockwave echoed as Alex blocked a certain redhead's attack, before punching her with enough force that she was sent flying into the side of a mountain, and then bursting out of the back of it into the mountain behind it as well. Before the sound of the second collision even reached them, Alex suddenly bent himself back at an angle to just barely avoid a distortion in space as it went right by his face, prompting him to turn and look at the culprit with a deadpan stare, Akua.

"Damn..." The black haired beauty silently swore, right before Alex's foot collided with her stomach, causing her to vomit out blood that may have been either her own or Alex's that she drank before the spar began, and sending her down into a flat stretch of field to turn it into a new canyon. As Alex sent her flying he then glanced around for the next attack, before his Haki directed his attention upwards where he saw a giant fireball descending straight at him. From within the fire he could see a giant hammer in front of a cute girl with her bunny ears flapping violently around her as she cried out,

"METEORIC SMAAAAAAAASH!!!!"

With her momentum and both her hammer and herself weighing several extra tons from Gravity magic, Shia expected that Alex would at least be sent cascading down to the ground from her attack. Instead, he reached up with both hands and 'caught' her beloved hammer while also using both his own strength and his 'Energy Nullification' skill to nullify her kinetic energy, resulting in him only being pushed back a few feet in the air before coming to a stop while holding up both Shia and her hammer.

"Teehee..." Shia tried to say cutely, before Alex let go of her hammer with one hand while cocking it back, and then pulled her and her hammer back with the other hand and punching her back into yet another mountain, causing a giant crater to form in its side before Alex threw the hammer back at her and caused the entire side of the mountain to turn to rubble on top of her.

Despite the ferocity of his attacks on the girls Alex wasn't worried, as Akua and Kokoa were both vampires with powerful regenerative abilities, and Shia had increased her 'Durability' to the point that if Alex wanted to actually 'hurt' her with his punches, then he'd need to transition at least to SSJ one or two. At that exact moment two powerful supernatural energies surged at they focused their intent on Alex, before simultaneously rushing him in a pincer attack. With Akua and Kokoa homing in on both sides with a Jigen-Tou and rapier prepared respectively, Alex then twisted himself midair at the last second while using a finger on each hand to deflect both attacks away from himself and each other, before grabbing each girl's head and slamming them together.

""OW!!"" They both cried out from the sudden collision, before Alex grabbed them by the ankles and proceeded to slam them together a few times before chucking them in opposite directions once more, with neither being able to fight back despite both having been evolved into Shinso vampires.

As he tossed the two girls away, Alex then turned his attention to the rubble pile that Shia was buried under, before the area surged with a tidal wave of light blue magic power and the rubble was blasted outwards as Shia turned her now red eyes in his direction.

"And here we have the return of the Berserker Bunny!" Alex cried out tauntingly at Shia, who immediately launched herself towards him with enough force that whatever was left of the mountain was destroyed. As she was about to reach him though, Alex heard a small chime in his head followed by Moka's voice saying,

"Times up!" Smiling wryly at the timing, Alex then avoided Shia's first attack before touching her forehead and activating his Spirit magic while shouting "SLEEP!", immediately rendering her unconscious as she lightly fell into his embrace. As he transitioned her into a princess carry both Akua and Kokoa flew up to him with their vampiric wings, before the former said while cracking her broken shoulder back into place,

"You really don't pull any punches even against your lovers, do you?" Alex smiled wryly at her remark, before saying,

"Well neither would any opponents we face, and I always make sure not to dish more than anyone could take. If I was truly going full force, then I'd be at SSJ2 right now and you two would probably be seeing if your regeneration could bring you back from being turned into pulp." His words made the vampiric duo shudder as they imagined what he said, during which 'outer' Moka used her devil wings to fly up to join them before asking while pointing at Shia,

"So how'd you make her pass out?" Alex smiled proudly at Moka's question, and explained,

"While we were in Tortus I temporarily obtained divinity, during which I had a skill called 'Divine Commandment', it's effect made it to where any orders I gave had to be followed by those that heard them unless they were mentally strong enough to resist the effects. Naturally I lost it when my divinity wore off, but I've been trying to regain it due to how useful it could be; what you saw was my attempt to emulate it using Spirit magic, though it'll only work on those with exceptionally weak mentalities, such as a berserk bunny for example." Though the trio of vampires were in awe of such an ability, they also couldn't help but smile wryly at Shia's situation from it. Alex then turned towards Kokoa and said,

"You really are getting stronger by the way Kokoa, you've come a long way from the little girl that I spanked into submission before." As she recalled the day she first met Alex, roughly a year ago now from her perspective due to staying in the space-time orb almost 24/7, Kokoa turned almost as red as her hair as she cried out,

"Forget about that already! And I only feel as if I'm getting stronger until I fight you, you're still stupidly stronger than me even though I've put so much effort into training..." With her having less momentum the more she spoke, while the latter half almost sounded like she was pouting, Alex smirked and said,

"I've trained my skills over several years and have had several life or death battles to draw experience from, give it time and you'll probably become as strong as I am now, though that doesn't mean that I'll just wait around for you to get to my level." As she looked at Alex's smirking face Kokoa was seized by the sudden urge to punch it, but held herself back as she instead glared in the other direction.

The sparring match over with, the group then left the sub-space orb and returned to the villa, where they found Le Fey with their newest resident and her student, Ruby. Though it had taken a bit of effort for the girls to get her to open up, once she did so Ruby was eagerly welcomed into their family with open arms, which quickly overwhelmed her due to the limited interaction with others she had growing up. Of course the next logical step was to get Ruby to apprentice under Le Fey, who was a master of the various types of magic from back in the DXD world, as well as magic from Tortus now.

Naturally Ruby had a hard time accepting the magic she was being told about, but when she watched Le Fey perform 'impossible' feats one after another, she was quickly convinced. Then of course there was the struggle of getting her to accept Le Fey as her new master due to her continuing devotion to Oyakata, though when Alex reminded her that Oyakata wanted her to learn the new magic as well Ruby eventually relented.

As they approached Alex wrapped his arms around Le Fey lovingly and kissed the top of her head before asking, "How is she doing?" Le Fey was silent for a moment as she enjoyed Alex's warm embrace, before answering,

"Of course she's having trouble trying to form and control magic without her wand, but she'll get it eventually. Personally I'm more worried about the magic she's learned up until now since I know nothing about it, but I'll hopefully understand it eventually." As the duo talked Ruby glanced over at them, before meeting Alex's gaze and turning away with slightly red cheeks, earning him pointed looks from the other four women.

She had been acting this way ever since she had watched Alex and the girls practically jump each other at the beach, and though she could interact with the other girls normally, for some reason she only seemed to have trouble looking Alex in the face. Of course what everyone else was unaware of was that Ruby was recalling the scene of Alex 'punishing' Akeno, Tio, Altina, and Francesca for their provocative swimwear that day, an image that stirred something within her that she had previously been unaware of. Now whenever she looked at Alex she automatically imagined him 'punishing' her, making her embarrassed to be around him.

Ignoring the pervert in the making, Le Fey then turned towards Alex and said, "By the way, there's something I wanted to talk to you about regarding Vali." This made Alex look at her curiously as he wondered what was going on with his rival, before she said, "I don't know why, but he's seemed moody lately and spending larger effort amounts of time training than usual..." Of course when he heard this Alex couldn't help but remark sarcastically,

"Oh no, Vali is sulking and training, whatever shall we do?!" This earned him a giggle from those that had met Vali before, while Le Fey herself even cracked a small smile before saying,

"This is serious! I've asked Aiko but she wouldn't tell me anything, so maybe you could talk to him instead?" Alex cocked an eyebrow at her suggestion, as Vali was one of the last people he could imagine having a heart to heart with someone, much less himself. But after a moment of thinking he finally said,

"It's been a while since we've had a guys day, so maybe I'll invite everyone fishing again, and try to talk to him then." Le Fey only gave him a look at this idea, to which Alex said defensively, "Hey, I won't question how you girls do things, so don't question how us guys do things. Trust me, this will work a lot better than just walking up to him and asking him to spill his guts." Though Le Fey gave him another look at this, she ultimately sighed and decided to trust in Alex's judgment on the subject. After giving him a light kiss Alex was starting to think about dragging her upstairs along with Moka, Shia, and Akua, but before he could suggest it Kurumu ran up to him and practically shouted,

"Alex! My mother showed up at the academy!"

***

Several minutes later, instead of enjoying himself with several beautiful women, Alex was instead standing in his office at Youkai Academy while an exceptionally beautiful mature woman looked at him with sultry eyes. Ageha Kurono had waist long hair that was the same light blue as her daughters, while she wore a strapless purple mini dress along with a fur coat that she had hung up when they entered Alex's office. As her eyes danced between Alex and her daughter, who was nervously seated in Alex's lap while he sat in his chair, she then finally said,

"So you're the stud that my daughter has decided to pledge herself to.... Well what can I say other than she's seems to be quite lucky?" As she said this Ageha licked her lips lightly as she ran her gaze over the few muscles that Alex had visible, while she began undressing him with her eyes with evident intrigue. After a moment she asked, "You said he has quite a few women around him Kurumu, how many exactly are you talking about and are you accepting any more?" Though she was noticeably nervous before, Kurumu's brow twitched when her mother blatantly tried to insert herself into Alex's harem, prompting her to say,

"There's already more than enough, thank you very much!" Though Ageha mock pouted at her daughters words, she then said,

"Well he must be a beast in bed to tame so many women..." At this most of Kurumu's bravado evaporated, causing her mother to show a dumbfounded look as she realized something and said, "You still haven't done it?!" When she said this Kurumu looked away while muttering something about waiting, to which Ageha made her way to Alex's side and whispered in his ear with a seductive tone that would make any normal person erect in seconds,

"My daughter is a late bloomer, so you have my permission to push her down whenever you want though, or would you rather practice with me~?" Alex smiled wryly at Ageha's offer, before wrapping his arms around Kurumu and saying,

"Well waiting was my idea to begin with, but recently I've been thinking myself that it was about time for us to take things to the next level anyways." Though Kurumu had been writhing at her mother's words, Alex's however caused her to go completely still as she slowly turned towards him and asked,

"Really?" Alex nodded and replied,

"Really. You've been working hard for my sake so it's only fair that I recognize that-" Alex hadn't even finished speaking before Kurumu sealed his lips with her own, an intense fervor overtaking her that drowned out everything else, even the presence of her own mother. As she ran her fingers through is hair and sucked on his lips and tongue with the desperation of a person dying of thirst, Kurumu broke the contact only long enough to say,

"Take me. Here. Now!" That was all she got out before her mouth was on his again, and Alex readily obliged her desire by picking her up and taking the few steps to his desk. There was a clatter as Alex swept everything off of it and placed Kurumu down on it, while she tried to wrestle his shirt up and over his head.

Off to the side Ageha watched with increasing excitement as more of Alex's body came into her view, before Kurumu threw his shirt away and pulled on his pants and they too fell to the floor. When she saw what they contained Ageha couldn't keep her jaw from dropping, as the only guys she'd seen that were bigger than Alex were AV stars, and even they were few and far between. With her own dress soon getting puddled on the floor, Ageha was now as naked as Alex as she took a seat on another table, and readily spread her legs before she willed her tail into existence and it plunged itself deep into her increasingly wet pussy while she played with her own tits.

While Ageha enjoyed herself at the side, Alex and Kurumu didn't even register her as he decided to get a bit 'rough' with Kurumu, and grabbed her yellow vest before literally ripping it off of her body, and then her white button up shirt under it followed suit. Then, with a loud 'SNAP', her purple lacy bra came flying off as well, spilling Kurumu's G cup breasts before Alex's mouth left hers and immediately honed in on one of her nipples.

"Ah! Yeeeeeees!" Kurumu gasped as Alex rolled the little bud around with his tongue, before biting down lightly on it to make her take in another shuddering breath until he moved onto the other side. As he got busy with his mouth of course Alex's hands weren't still either, as he gripped her skirt and tore that off as well, leaving Kurumu in nothing but her matching purple lace panties and stockings. Kurumu shuddered as she felt Alex mercilessly toy with her nipples with his mouth, while something hard and hot continuously poked and prodded her special place with only the thin cloth of her panties to protect it from penetration.

Soon however the sound of ripping cloth filled the office once more, and the succubus was stripped completely naked while Alex's penis now poked directly at her soaking slit. Laying her down so that her back was on his desk, Alex asked,

"Are you ready Kurumu?" Of course she looked back at him with love and lust as she pleaded,

"Please, just give it to me already..." With no hesitation whatsoever Alex readily thrusted his cock forward into her burning hot hole, making Kurumu gasp as she immediately climaxed even as Alex tore through her purity and continued until his entire length was inside her. While normally a girl would feel pain when they were deflowered, Kurumu only felt pleasure as she was wracked with climax after climax while crying out,

"OH GOD YEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!" Instead of the pain of being forcefully spread open and torn through, she felt only the high of her repeated climaxes as her body finally received the thing it had been so desperately craving ever since she met her 'fated one', his giant throbbing cock. Though Kurumu thought she had tasted 'satisfaction' whenever Alex used his mouth on her or when she played with the various girls to train her control, she now realized that wasn't even close to 'true satisfaction' as she wrapped her legs around her beloved's waist as if to prevent him from taking such a wonderful feeling away from her.

Alex on the other hand was almost of a similar mindset as Kurumu, as her insides almost felt as if they were custom made to take his cock; with her taking in his entire length despite her short stature and the fact it was her first time, as well as the fact that her insides seemed to be squeezing and massaging his penis specifically as if to make him finish faster. Even with his years of experience it took almost all of Alex's willpower to not pump her full of his cum right then and there, and even more for him to start moving his waist back.

When she felt Alex's length leaving her Kurumu could only whimper and tighten her legs around his waist in protest, while even her insides seemed to squeeze tighter to prevent his exit. When he had pulled out everything but the head, Alex slammed it back in suddenly to make Kurumu cry out once more from pleasure.

And like that, a symphony of moans, gasps, and flesh smacking filled Alex's office as he and Kurumu screwed like crazy while he tried to hold out as long as possible, with Ageha watching excitedly from the side as her daughter was being fucked. Despite his his years of experience however, it was only an embarrassingly short time until Alex was unable to resist the pleasure assaulting his nether region, and he had just enough time to cry out, "I'm cumming Kurumu!" before he pumped more of his seed in her than he ever thought possible in a single load.

And as he filled her womb to the brim with his semen, Kurumu threw her head back and released a primal lust filled cry as her largest orgasm yet shot through her body. Though she would only recall it later, as Alex pumped his seed into her deepest parts Kurumu's body began giving off a slightly pinkish glow as power the likes of which she had never felt before filled her. Notifications blared through her mind as her power surged from her first union with her 'fated one', however Kurumu payed them no mind as she leaned forward and linked her hands on the back of Alex's neck as she pulled herself forward to seal his lips once more.

As the couple kissed this time there was none of the passion or raw animalistic desire from before, only a gentleness of two lovers basking in the warmth of the other. After several minutes of kissing they finally broke it off as Kurumu leaned back and Alex took in the view of her now heart shaped pupils before he once again started to move his hips.

Watching from the side was of course Ageha, but she had momentarily forgotten her own lust as she gaped from what she just witnessed. Succubi were beings that lived and gained power off of love, wether that love came from their 'fated one' or numerous encounters with different men didn't matter; Ageha was one such succubus that didn't tie herself down and had seduced more men than she could count over the years, though of course she still had standards for herself. However among the small numbers of her people there were whispers of a stronger form of Succubi that was more powerful than any of them ever were, the High Succubus.

Though such things had only ever been stories, as she watched her daughter Ageha couldn't help but think of them when she recalled the strange phenomenon of when Alex had climaxed within her. If she had been able to see her daughter's system however, then any doubts Ageha had would have been put to rest by the skills and increases she had just received due to her union with Alex.

Of course the two in question didn't care about the sudden changes to Kurumu's system, as they continued indulging in their union with equal parts love and lust until even Ageha herself decided to forget about what she saw, her own lust returning with a vengeance. As Alex and Kurumu ignored her however, it wasn't long until Ageha gave in and walked up to Alex before wrapping her arms around his shoulders and purring into his ears as she pressed her naked J cup breasts against his back,

"When is it my turn?" When he heard this Alex only smiled wryly and, figuring that this'll probably take quite a while, he wisked both women into Asora directly to the room with the space-time orb, when he then brought them to his personal floating island to indulge in their desires for several days.

***

While Alex was 'battling' two Succubi, a certain Crimson haired figure was in the void of space, standing on top of a piece of rock nearly as large as the earths moon as it hurdled through the void, her Crimson hair drifting around her in the lack of gravity. Normally even a Super Devil wouldn't be able to survive in the vacuum of space, but a Hajime specialty artifact that Rias carried on her body projected a thin invisible shield that protected her while also providing her oxygen to breath.

Though she had asked how it worked when she got it, Hajime quickly lost her when he got into the specifics of how it functioned, and she had given up trying to listen to him as he became slightly fanatic until Kaori even apologized to her about his behavior. Now however she wasn't thinking about that as Rias focused her mind and meditated on her power of Destruction, a reddish glow surrounding her body.

After several minutes of silent meditation Rias's eyes shot open to reveal that they had turned completely black, while her skin started turning red and her clothes began getting eaten away by the rampant Destruction radiating from her body. As she was alone in the void of space however she didn't mind this, and instead focused on her growing power as a pair of horns a couple inches long sprouted from her skull, shortly followed by a pair of red wings and tail.

Once her Super Devil transformation was complete, Rias's 'Aura of Destruction' radiated around her as she started gathering demonic power. For several minutes nothing happened, until there was a sudden burst of her power of Destruction under her feet towards the moon sized Rock she was on. Instead of continuing downwards though, the reddish-black Destruction spread like a massive tidal wave across the surface of the rock.

Though the area beneath her feet started to slowly disappear from the Destruction, Rias focused on spreading her power as far as possible, to ensnare as much of the surface she was on as possible. Further and further the power of Destruction spread, eating its way through the rock and other materials that were in its path as it consumed the entire lunar body.

As the wave of Destruction grew and consumed nearly a third of the moon Rias's brow started sweating as she struggled to maintain the steady stream of power needed to keep the Destruction going. When it approached the halfway point of the lunar body though, her power finally fizzled out and Rias reverted back her normal form while the wave of Destruction disappeared, leaving the moon-like body cut perfectly in half.

As she slowly floated down towards the long cooled core of the lunar body Rias couldn't help but click her tongue from her failure to destroy the entire thing, despite the fact that she had just performed a feat that would leave the majority of powerhouses back in the DXD world both dumbfounded and terrified. Instead the image of the people that Lauren had shown them came to her mind, people capable of destroying entire planets and universes with ease. As she started wondering how she could ever hope to match those types of beings, a voice suddenly called out,

"So this where you were Rias." The Crimson haired beauty turned and saw a trio of women floating above her, Yue and Kuroka admiring the damage she had done while Grayfia stared down at her. As she was about to ask her big sister what they were doing there, Yue suddenly remarked with a slight sneer,

"....To think you were an exhibitionist Rias..." It was then that Rias recalled that her clothes had been destroyed when she activated her Super Devil form, and even now her naked breasts were bobbing slightly along with her long hair in the absence of gravity. Letting out a huff with her cheeks turning slightly red, Rias swiftly redressed herself while remarking,

"It's not like I really needed to worry about it until you three showed up, so why are you here?" At her question Grayfia calmly explained,

"Hajime came by to drop off more of the artifacts he made for you, so we decided to see what you were up to." Her words were immediately followed by Kuroka nodding and saying,

"Yep~Nya, we weren't sure where you were at first, but when you went Super Devil it wasn't too hard to follow your demonic power~Nya." Rias was silent at first after they finished speaking, before she bitterly said,

"Well as you can see I still have a long ways to go..." Though she said so, the other three looked at the area around them, and couldn't help but be impressed.

They all knew that Rias was comparing herself to those beings that Alex's 'Angel' had shown them, yet what Rias didn't realize was that each of those beings hadn't completely destroyed any of those planets, they had simply broken them apart. While it may not seem like much of a difference, compared to Rias's version of 'destroy' it was very different as her Destruction removed all trace of whatever it touched; whereas beings like the one they later learned was called Freiza used their energy attacks to make he planets core unstable, which in turn resulted in the destruction of the planet itself. In comparison what Rias was attempting to do wasn't the destruction of a planet, but the complete erasure of one, a significantly more terrifying thing to imagine.

Instead of telling her this though, Grayfia stated,

"I am slightly disappointed in you though Rias. If you truly wanted to become stronger then you should use your energy fighting strong opponents, not just throwing it away to measure your strength." As she spoke Grayfia's meaning was made very clear as her eyes suddenly turned completely black, the only color left being the slightly glowing silver irises. As her skin took on a metallic silvery sheen to match along with the horn that started extending from the middle of her forehead, Rias narrowed her eyes and muttered,

"You want to spar when I just exhausted myself?" Grayfia's voice came out at a slight rasp to match the transformation as she answered,

"Of course, that is the best time to train since you need to push yourself further than your limits." When she heard this Rias showed a bitter smile, as she already knew this well enough. Standing proudly, she then said while using what little energy she managed to recover to activate her Super Devil transformation once more.

"Very well then, let's go!" As the two sisters powered themselves up, Yue also showed a fearless smile as she too started gathering power while she grew larger and more mature, until her figure was one that could even contend with three other women before her.

"...Don't forget about me!..." As the three women squared off at each other, Kuroka suddenly piped up,

"Hey, hey, hey! I'm gonna get in on this too~Nya!" As she spoke Kuroka's tails, hair, and kimono started waving around her as her own power started spiking, and she said, "I'm gonna remind you all why I'M the 'Queen'~Nya!"

With tensions running high and the stage set, the four women faced each other with enough power radiating from their bodies to destroy the stage that Rias had created several times over.

***

After literally several days of 'battling' both Kurumu and her mother, the trio finally emerged from Alex's private floating island with very satisfied expressions, while both Kurumu and Ageha almost appeared to be glowing. Both had naturally benefited greatly from their union with Alex, with Kurumu benefitting most due to her pre-existing relationship with him, not that she cared about that, and now radiated power like neither had ever felt before in their lives.

Of course their entire time alone hadn't been spent in endless lust, as at some point they did have to discuss the changes that Kurumu had undergone. While Ageha was slightly disappointed that she hadn't changed into a High Succubus like her daughter, she quickly concluded that it was possibly due to Kurumu's extended relationship with Alex, along with the potency of his seed acting as a catalyst.

After their time together ended Ageha was then finally treated to a tour of the space-time orb to meet the other members of Alex's harem, to which she remarked that he had enough girls for a 'daily special' for several months. After spending a few days with them though Ageha eventually said it was time for her to go, which surprised quite a few people since they thought she'd want to stay. When they mentioned this Ageha smiled wryly and said that, while Alex was the best fuck she ever had and most likely ever will, she was never one for a 'domestic' life. That being said, she did say that she'd think about the offer to move to Asora when they left in order to stay close to her daughter.

After Ageha left the days slipped by somewhat uneventfully with the exception of when Rias, Grayfia, Yue, and Kuroka returned from somewhere, all looking exceptionally haggard for some reason that they refused to share. With each one insisting they were fine however, the day that Alex planned the fishing trip slowly crawled up soon after.

Now he found himself drifting somewhere in the Pacific Ocean on Zenith, the giant ship practically groaning and humming happily that he had taken it out onto the open waters once more. Also on Zenith was all of the guys that Alex invited on the trip, Millicas, Barakiel, Kiba, Gasper, Saji, Sona's 'Rook' Loupe Garou, Arthur, Bikou, Sairaorg, Hajime, Hajime's father Nagumo Shuu, Kaori's father Tomoichi Shirisaki, Aiko's father Tetsuo Hatayama, Shizuku's father and grandfather Koichi and Shuuzo Yeagashi, and then of course Vali.

Naturally everyone was enjoying the serene atmosphere and warm weather with the other guys around them, as the smell and sound of meat sizzling filled the air. As well as fishing themselves, Hajime's father Shuu was in charge of drinks while Sona's 'Rook' Loupe Garou was grilling various meats for them. Shuu had spent his life developing video games before moving to Asora, and due to that he had ended up traveling around a lot. One thing he always did whenever he traveled however was sample the various alcohols in the places he'd visit, a hobby that he'd occasionally let Hajime get a sip in.

Loupe Garou on the other hand was seemingly pushing the werewolf stigma as much as possible, and was seriously passionate about sampling and cooking various meats. He was so passionate about it, that he'd spend any time he wasn't training or working for Sona hunting the various animals around Asora to sample the meat he could get off of them. Naturally he was very respectful to the animals he hunted, and his hobby also added to the encyclopedia of Asora's wildlife as he carefully logged whatever he found while hunting. As a result of his activities however, he had a storage ring filled with hundreds of pounds of the various meats he had collected in his spare time, all perfectly preserved and ready to be grilled at a moments notice.

As the smell of the meats drifted through the air, Alex and Millicas sat on the side railing with their lines in the water, and bear meat skewers in their hands, the gristly meat practically melting in their mouths from Loupe's expert grilling. As they sat in silence though Alex got a far off look in his eyes, prompting Millicas to curiously ask,

"What are you thinking about?"

"Hm?" Alex started, Millicas's question snapping him back to reality.

"I asked you what you were thinking about." Millicas repeated, his curiosity evident on his face. Alex smiled warmly when he recalled his earlier daydream though, and said,

"I was thinking about when I can finally bring Alec and Regal fishing with us when they get older, and was looking forward to teaching them how to prepare a hook and bring in their first catch..." As he trailed off Alex's expression softened even more than before, while Millicas frowned somewhat before muttering,

"My dad never took me fishing..." Alex frowned in turn when he heard this, before responding as he ruffled the young boy's Crimson hair,

"Maybe when he's finally free of Trihexia's seal your dad will be able to take you himself, but until then just let me know and happily accompany you anytime." With a smile returning to Millicas's face, he happily said "En!" while turning his attention back towards his line.

Alex's expression softened once again when he saw this, and he thought about his own relationship with Millicas as he reeled in his own line. Ever since Alex had 'stolen' Grayfia he had felt somewhat awkward since he had no intention to try and replace Sirzechs as Millicas's father. Instead he was content with their original relationship from when they first met, where he was like a big brother to the young man. Suddenly Alex was once more brought back from his thoughts as Millicas jumped up and shouted,

"I got a bite!" His smile widening, Alex set aside his own pole as he jumped up as well and said,

"Make sure you set the hook, and don't forget-" He then spent the next few minutes watching over and advising Millicas as the Crimson haired boy struggled to bring in his catch, a roughly four foot long longfin tuna weighing nearly seventy pounds. While such a catch would normally mean a long a grueling battle for most men, for someone like Alex or Millicas it was child's play to match the fish in terms of strength and power, with the excitement instead being if the equipment held up or not.

After several minutes of their careful game of tug-of-war, Millicas finally reeled the fish up the side of Zentih while Alex used his 'Telekinesis' to make sure the fish didn't make one last ditch escape attempt. After removing the hook Alex had Millicas hold up the tuna with both hands, where he then took a picture and sent it to Grayfia before sending the young man to take the fish to Loupe for cleaning and prepping for the grill.

Alex watched as Loupe pulled out a set of flaying knives to show Millicas how to clean and flay the fish, when he suddenly felt someones presence as they approached him. Turning, Alex saw a somewhat nervous Barakiel standing behind him as he said,

"U-um hey Alex, mind if I talk to you really quick?" Barakiel's nervousness caught Alex off guard as, while they could be said to have a 'love/hate' relationship as a father and son in law, Alex had never seen Barakiel be so nervous when he was talking to him.

"Sure, what's up?" With his nervousness increasing, Barakiel awkwardly said,

"Well you see it's about Akeno and Kagome, they both want to meet each other, but...." As the fallen angel trailed off Alex thought on what was so bad about the two women meeting, before a slightly sadistic grin started forming on his face.

"Barakiel, don't tell me a perfect M like yourself would be scared of spending a night with two sadists?" At his taunt Barakiel's nervousness disappeared as annoyed expression took its place and he said,

"What's wrong with that? I just want a fairly nice evening with the two women I care about, but you know how Akeno could be... That's why I was wondering if you'd come along as a- a-"

"As a double date?" Alex finished, making Barakiel flinch slightly before saying,

"Yeah that..." Alex's smile widened as he clapped the fallen angel on the shoulder and said,

"Of course I'll go, don't worry about it!" Though he suspected that there was a hidden meaning in Alex's acceptance, Barakiel sighed and said his thanks before going to get his own food and a bottle of sake. Alex himself grabbed a bottle of sake as well before he looked around, and saw a certain silver haired man sulking by himself on the other end of the ship.

Recalling Le Fey's concerns, Alex felt that Vali did look like he was sulking by himself more so than usual, and made his way over before throwing his legs over the railing next to him. The duo sat in silence as they watched the water, neither making a sound as Vali didn't even seem to register Alex's presence, until he finally went to take a drink and Vali suddenly said,

"Aiko's pregnant."

"PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT!"

Spraying his drink in a colorful alcoholic mist, Alex started coughing and sputtering at the unexpected news while the shadow of a smirk formed at the edge of Vali's mouth before it was quickly hidden. Once he finally got himself under control, Alex finally exclaimed,

"I can't believe it!" Though Vali nodded in agreement at first, Alex then continue, "You actually got laid?!" Naturally Vali glared at this before he promptly shoved the cackling Alex off the side of the ship, making a big slash in the water below. When Alex climbed back up while still trying to get his laughter under control, he eventually calmed down and said,

"Seriously though man, congratulations." Vali nodded in acknowledgment of Alex's congratulations, but didn't otherwise react, prompting Alex to frown before asking, "You don't seem very happy?" Vali was silent at his question at first, before he eventually answered,

"Lucifer men, don't make very good fathers..." Alex's frown deepened when he heard that, while he also looked down and saw that Vali's hands were shaking slightly as he held his pole, indicating that THAT Vali was scared.

This was the same guy that would face off against the strongest and vilest beings in existence with a smirk as he punched them in the face, but based on his statement it wasn't too hard to figure out why Vali was actually terrified of of the idea of becoming a father. His own father had horribly abused both Vali and his mother in his youth due to his fear of his own sons potential as a descendant of Lucifer, and the Vanishing Dragon. Then his grandfather Rizevim Lucifer, had been a sadistic maniac that gleefully spread pain and suffering as he endeavored to even destroy the world with Trihexia, while also being the one to encourage the actions of Vali's father to begin with.

While the idea of becoming a father itself wasn't so bad, it was the possibility that he'd be just like the two men he had hated most that terrified him, that one day he'd wake up and look in the mirror to find his grandfather and father looking back at him. When he saw this Alex frowned, as there was next to no resemblance of the man who had readily referred to himself as his rival for several years now sitting next to him. And so Alex did the most logical thing he thought of, and promptly gave Vali a super flick to the forehead.

SMACK!

Falling back on his butt, Vali rubbed the quickly swelling red spot as he demanded while glaring at him,

"What the hell was that for?!" Alex however sneered at him and said,

"You were making quite a pitiful expression there Vali, I would have almost started feeling sorry for you if I hadn't done something." Though Vali's glare turned into a glower at his words, Alex didn't mind it as he continued, "And I don't understand what you're so worried about, I mean you're nothing like those asshats; and even if you did act out, then there's plenty of us that'll smack you back into place." As Alex said this Vali looked over and saw Bikou and Arthur looking their way with concern, while the image of his surrogate big sister Lavinia and even Aiko also came to mind. Seeing Vali contemplate what he was saying, Alex then continued,

"And if you feel like you need help, then there a bunch of us you can go to to begin with. I mean, it might be an interesting thing to give my rival tips as he tried to change a dirty diaper." When he heard that Vali's glower faded as the barest hint of a smile appeared and vanished at the corner of his lips again, before he accepted Alex's offered hand to pull him back up. Patting him on his shoulder, Alex turned to walk away while saying over his shoulder,

"Just think about it before you make yourself depressed or something." As he walked away though Alex suddenly heard Vali mutter under his breath,

"Thank you." He pretended he didn't heard it though, and Vali pretended he never said it as he turned his attention back to his dropped pole, and Alex walked back to Millicas, who was holding a handful of fish guts in his bare hands with an expression of complete and utter disgust on his face.
