AN: Lots of new lore and stuff in this chapter, things that I've been thinking about for a while and was finally able to fit into a fic. Just hope you guys like it.

  The question of the chapter is;

  What is your favorite weapon and how could you make it even more OP? (Enchantments, Runes, Power systems, all that good stuff is allowed, be creative my friends.)

  Have fun :

  ~ Razen Antares Gremory ~ They first teleported to the Immigration branch on the Gremory territory in the underworld. Funnily enough, the moment Antares proved his identity as the Gremory Heir, the process of getting Eu's papers was immensely sped up. From something that could take days, they were finished in barely an hour.

  "And here I was thinking I would need to say I was going to meet Lord Lucifer in under an hour for them to speed up.", Antares commented humorously.

  Eu did a light sp on his shoulder; "Those poor government workers were already frightened enough, no need to give them a heart attack.".

  "Hah, you are right.", chuckled Antares while looking around; "Now, do you want to go by teleport or by flying?".

  Eu drew her cellphone and checked the time, it was 3:52; "Might as well go by teleport and arrive early.".

  "Sure.", Antares shrugged, and with a flex of his will a Teleportation Circle appeared under the two, and in a fsh of red light, they were gone.

  Appearing in the reception room of the Gremory manor, Antares immediately greeted the guards; "Good afternoon Alvezes, Bastilyu.", the guards answered with a minuscule nod, long since checked his mana signature, and let him pass.

  After exiting the reception room, they were met face-to-face with Antares' Mother and Father.

  "Good afternoon Mother, Good afternoon Father.", Antares politely greeted the senior Devils, prompting Eu to do the same, just way more formally.

  "My Son! None of that stiffness is needed here. Today is your birthday! The day you finally complete 18 years of age.", Spoke Zeoticus Gremory with a wide smile on his face.

  Antares chuckled awkwardly, feeling Eu's piercing gre on the back of his head. He knew he was forgetting to tell her something important.

  "Kukuku~ such a fierce gaze in such a beautiful dy.", commented Venana Gremory hiding her smile behind her right hand; "My son truly has chosen well.".

  "And you son! Look at you, barely months on the human world and you've already grown so much!?", Venana excimed in good surprise; "What have they been feeding you? Ferment?".

  "Nah, Sirzechs said he has been following Sutr Training, that's why he... grew.", Added the older crimson-haired Devil with a small smile.

  "That muscle-bound oaf?", Venana excimed worried, then looked at Eu with a very intense gaze; "Please don't let my son become a muscle-headed idiot, you are my only hope.", she said in good humor.

  "Don't worry, you have my word.", Eu affirmed with a determined nod, before saying in a very small voice; "Albeit the muscles are quite nice.".

  "I heard that~", Venana chuckled, prompting Eu to blush.

  "Oh my, where are my manners? To let guests of the house talk while standing in the corridors, preposterous! Come here Son, let's get to a more comfortable pce.", Suggested Zeocitus while gesturing with his arm.

  After a few minutes of walking, while the Gremory family made some small talk, the entourage soon arrived at a fancy tea room.

  There were sofas on the corner followed by one or two cabinets, while in the middle there was a low table filled to the brim with sweets, small snacks, biscuits, and steaming teacups.

  Beautiful paintings describing fantastical views decorated the walls, and the big and smooth window only added to the impressive composition of the room. Everything was extremely refined, expensive, and fancy; worthy of a Pilr House of the Ars Goetia.

  "Oh, sorry for my manners.", Antares smiled weakly, knowing he may get an earful for it ter; "This is Eu, the newest member of our House, a reincarnated Devil, and my Knight.", Eu half-bowed once more, showing the proper respect to the Lady and Lord Gremory.

  "Nice to meet you, Eu. I sincerely hope you and my son can get along.", answered the lord of the house while sitting on the left sofa.

  "Same here sweetie~. Just seeing my boy so animated and full of life fills me with happiness.", thanked Venana while sitting beside her husband; "To think all this time what he needed was a woman's touch…".

  Zeocitus snorted internally while reaching for a cup of tea. Venana did the same. Antares and Eu quickly followed through, picking a teacup each.

  "Do you know when brother will arrive Father?", asked Antares before taking a sip of his tea.

  "He is going to be a bit te this time.", answered Zeocitus a little apologetic; "Apparently the mess caused by what the media is calling the 'Golden Cow Milk Fiasco', was quite a bit more problematic than even he expected.".

  Antares winced; "During our call, he mentioned something of that nature... didn't know it turned out that bad.".

  "You don't know half of it, sweetie.", added Venana in a serious tone; "Zechs said he even had to access his True Form for a brief moment to fight the Ikusautsuwa-no-Omikami. If it wasn't for her husband arriving in the middle of it and defusing the situation, things could've gone pretty bad.".

  "Is brother alright?", asked Antares worried.

  Zeocitus chortled, almost spitting his tea; "Your brother is the strongest Devil for a reason, son.".

  *BLAM!*

  "Oh, did I hear that my dear little bro is worried about me~?", shouted Sirzechs while kicking the door open, his face pstered with a wide shiny smile that could blind someone.

  Grayfia facepalmed behind him, doing her best to adjust the door to ensure nothing happened to it. Luckily, Sirzechs had superb physical control.

  Zeocitus and Venana immediately got up and greeted the couple, with Antares and Eu doing the same.

  "… And this is Eu, my newest peerage member.", Antares finished the introductions, prompting Eu to do the same.

  "It's a pleasure to meet you, Lord Lucifer, Lady Lucifuge.", greeted Eu with a perfect bow.

  While Grayfia was nodding in the background, Sirzechs gave a bro hug to Antares; "How I missed you brother, it has been what? A year since we saw each other face to face?".

  Feeling a little awkward with the hug, Antares just patted his brother on the back; "Something like that brother…".

  "And look at you now, you grew so much!", Excimed Sirzechs in good nature; "Taller, stronger, and your magic is… Damn little bro, that is some dense mana you got there.".

  Sirzechs quickly sat on the right sofa, while Grayfia stayed upright by his side, almost blending in with the scenario.

  Still maintaining a smirk that was beginning to become annoying, Sirzechs took a biscuit from the table; "Say, little bro, how was the contract?".

  "A disaster.", started the boy in a serious tone; "To say the least.".

  Sirzechs raised his eyebrow while eating a chocote chip cookie; "There is definitely a history there, care to share?".

  Nodding, Antares started expining; "It all started when we were teleported to the countryside of Brazil.", everyone in the room winced at that, the Americas were known Church territory after all; "As subtly as we could, we started investigating the most recent strange events…".

  Razen then started the long expnation about his contract, going in as much detail as he reasonably could, from time to time Eu would chip in with a comment or information of her own.

  "… and then it Self-Detonated.", finished Antares with an inner grimace, he hated lying to his family, no matter the necessity of it.

  "And after that?", pressed Sirzechs with a very serious expression on his face.

  "Eu, who was outside of the bst radius, used the contract to teleport me home and finish healing me.".

  Zeocitus narrowed his eyes; "How many, Antares?".

  The Gremory Heir cringed inwardly, and even if he knew what his father was referring to, he still pyed the fool; "How many what, Father?"

  "You know what I am talking about, boy.", Zeocitus pressed seriously; "But if you insist on pying the fool… How many Phoenix Tears did you use?".

  Razen held three fingers up; "Three.".

  Everyone in the room, besides Zeocitus that is, drew a sharp breath. They all knew that if something took three entire vials of Phoenix Tears to heal, then the wound must've been pretty grave.

  "Three vials.", Venana mumbled with worry, Zeocitus maintaining his stony expression.

  "For you to need to use tree vials…", Sirzechs started, worry seeping into his voice; "Did the energy linger on you?".

  "It did.", Antares flinched internally, remembering being burned alive is never pleasant; "Only after three whole Phoenix Tear Vials did it go away.".

  "Are you sure, brother?", Asked Sirzechs in the same tone of worry; "I can have Ajuka take a look to see if there isn't anything else lingering.".

  "That might actually be a good idea.", Agreed Antares, finding that quite a good opportunity to break to his brother his new Trait. His parents… will have to wait, as he honestly doesn't want to open THAT can of worms right now, maybe even if he could get away with it. But he knows things rarely go the way he wants.

  "You are feeling well enough I take it?", asked Zeocitus, feeling relieved his son agreed to meet Ajuka.

  Antares nodded, he was feeling pretty great actually.

  "Considering it was literally the first time you fought for real, I will not comment on your battle...", started Zeocitus hiding a slightly disappointed tone; "But I do have to point it out your-".

  "Honey!", Venan interrupted with a fake cherry tone; "Let's leave the critics for ter, it is his birthday today. There is no need to make things unpleasant.".

  "I just-", Zeocitus started trying to justify himself, but a gaze from Venana made him relent. Sighing, the older Gremory focused on drinking his tea, wishing it was whiskey instead.

  "And what about school?", asked Venana curiously, trying to change the subject with the subtlety of a Sphere of Destruction; "If I am not mistaken it should start next week, right? Lady Sitri mentioned her daughter being quite anxious about it.".

  "That is correct Mother.", answered Razen with a small smile, gd for the change in the subject; "We already bought our uniforms and everything. Eu has been quite excited about learning a new nguage as well.".

  "Is that so, fufufu~".

  The small talk continued well into the night, the subject of Razen's contract momentarily forgotten. At some point, they had migrated to the dining hall and were now eating a feast. Every type of food and drink someone could imagine was present, from varying types of meat, pasta, and even pizzas and hamburgers. A feast that could match every taste.

  "Brother, what happened to Millicas, is he ok?", asked Antares worried; "He usually never misses one of these gatherings.".

  Sirzechs made a slightly pained face; "He came down with a very strong stomachache, and he managed to finally fall asleep not too long before it was time to come here.", he cleaned his mouth with a napkin; "The doctors already gave him the green light and he just has to sleep the medicine off, tomorrow he will be 100% again.".

  "That is a relief.", added Razen feeling a little less worried; "I will be sure to visit him ter.".

  "Please do so, young master.", It was Grayfia who answered this time, her voice pin and professional; "Millicas loves when you come to visit.". Antares nodded and smiled at his brother's wife.

  Sirzechs suddenly straightened himself, his eyes perking up and sparkling for a moment before he let out a small chuckle; "Thankfully, Sera just reminded me right now.", his gaze then went towards Razen, and his posture changed, the air around him was heavy, professional, intense. This time the younger devil knew he wasn't dealing with his brother, but with the Crimson Satan currently sitting on the throne of Lucifer.

  "Due to recent events, and the growing distrust of the Yokais for the Devil Race, old deals were made void, and new agreements have been made.", Sirzechs took a deep breath, his expression completely neutral now; "So starting next week, a Yokai liaison will be acting as yours and Mrs. Sitri Overseer, to guarantee that you two, and I quote; 'Are taking proper care of Sacred Japanese territory.'.", the strongest devil took a deep breath; "The Yakuza will also be moving into town and establishing a branch there, so do expect a rise in their activities as well.".

  There was an oppressive silence on the table, all the adult devils present, bar Eu, expected Antares to blow up, get angry, or at least speak against the decision. But to their shock, the young devil just shrugged; "Sure thing.".

  "Waaah?", excimed Sirzechs incoherently, his mood going back to normal; "I thought you'd be upset?", he asked a little speechless.

  "Why would I be?", asked Antares tilting his head, when he knows for a fact if Rias was in his pce, she would be having an attack right now; "I get someone to reduce my workload and be the main targets of compins if things go wrong. I see this as an absolute win.". Zeocitus narrowed his eyes at such an answer but held back his tongue.

  Sirzechs chuckled; "Only you little brother, only you.".

  "Don't you see this as diminishing your authority? A slight against yourself?", asked Zeocitus unable to help himself.

  "Father, Kuoh was never mine to begin with.", affirmed Antares after taking a seep from his orange juice; "Why would I be upset its true owners are coming back? It's like being upset the owner of the building you were squatting comes knocking, completely illogical.", expined the boy after a chuckle. Zeocitus sighed in relief, thanking the nine hells his son had at least some logic to his thought process.

  "And... a slight against me? Father please, this literally has nothing to with me.", stated the boy with certainty to his tone; "I am not the protagonist of the world. Kuoh was probably just the easy target for them to put pressure on us.", added the boy with a smirk. Earning a nod of approval from Srizechs and Zeocitus.

  "That is very mature of you little brother.", praised Sirzechs; "But on another note, that permission for the Familiar forest you asked me about, has finally been approved.", state Sirzechs in an improved mood; "Next Saturday you may visit the forest and try to acquire a familiar if you so desire.".

  "Just be aware that while we may hold an agreement with The Dragon Queen Tiamat, the familiar forest is still her territory, so be respectful of it and try to avoid the general area of her ir.", added the Crimson Satan after a bit of deliberation.

  "Understood brother, I will make sure to-", it was at this moment that a servant from the house knocked on the door, his voice echoing in the dining hall; "Young Master Bael and his Queen have arrived.".

  Perking up a little surprised at the news, Razen looked at his parents; "I didn't think cousin would come.", he smiled brightly; "That's quite a nice surprise.".

  Barely had Antares finished talking when the doors of the dining hall opened. Entering the hall was Sairaog Bael, dressed in a bck and white tuxedo, his steps firm and purposeful, showing a confidence behest fo arrogance. While his queen Kuisha Abaddon who walked right beside him, was wearing a simple, yet very elegant dark blue dress with a few white highlights, her walk matched her chosen king, albeit with a clear feminine undertone to it.

  As etiquette demanded, Sairaog first turned to the Lord and Lady of the House; "Greetings Lord and Lady Gremory.", he and Kuisha then turned towards Sirzechs and Grayfia; "Lord Lucifer, Lady Lucifage.".

  Getting up from his chair Antares bellowed with a smile; "Cousin! How nice to see you!".

  "Haha, Antares! I could say the same.", answered Sairaog while quickly approaching the crimson-haired devil and extending his arm.

  With a thunderous cp, they did the Epic Manly Handshake.

  "Damn, Cousin. What happened?", excimed Sairaog in surprise.

  "You finally got some muscles.", said the musclebound devil while patting Antares on the back, the older devil then smirked; "Finally decided to get out of your funk, huh?".

  "Haha, something like that.", replied Antares good naturally; "Finally found the thing, you know.".

  Sairaog's eyes shone in appreciation; "And took you only 17 years.", Sairaog nodded without a single hint of sarcasm; "I would say you got lucky. Some Devils go their whole lives without it.".

  "The thing?", asked Kuisha confused.

  "Your dreams, ambitions, desires, a goal or whatever else you want to call it.", started Sairaog passionately; "Basically the thing that pushes you forward, that fuels you to go even further beyond.", he attested with a nod; "Antares used to ck that, but not anymore.".

  "Hoh, I am happy for you?", said Kuisha feeling a little confused.

  Antares snorted; "Don't worry about it Kuisha, It just means I am feeling better and full of motivation.".

  "Ah, sorry for not greeting you before.", apologized the heir a little awkwardly; "High-five?", he asked the blonde girl while raising his hands, Kuisha snorted and high-fived him.

  Sairaog's gaze then turned towards Eu, who had followed Razen and was waiting quietly on the side; "And who would this be?", asked the bck-haired devil curiously.

  "That is Eu Lawrence, My Knight.", introduced Razen succinctly. "Greetings Mr. Bael, Ms. Abaddon.", Eu politely acknowledged the two young devils.

  Sairaog snorted; "Don't need to be so stiff girlie, we are all family here, and this includes you now as well.".

  Kuisha nodded and gave Eu a warming smile; "If you need any help with your new life as a Devil you just need to ask, ok?".

  "Thank you, Lady Abad-.", feeling Kuisha's harsh gre directed her way Eu quickly corrected herself; "I-I mean Kuisha.".

  "Good.", Kuisha once again smiled warmly

  "So you are finally making your peerage, eh?", Sairaog elbowed Antares with a smile; "Can't wait for the day we face each other in a Rating Game cousin.".

  "That is still pretty far cousin.", Antares smiled slightly; "You are way stronger than me.", he admitted.

  "Bah! I bet that by the time the Young Devil Gathering comes about, you will surprise us all.", affirmed Sairaog with extreme conviction.

  A little embarrassed by his cousin's conviction on him, Antares tried changing subjects; "Now, why don't you two take a seat, the food is getting cold."

  Sairaog snorted, before sitting on the opposite side of Antares, Kuisha at his side.

  After Sairaog's arrival, things calmed down a little. The family ate and delighted themselves with the spectacur cuisine while making small talk with each other, it was a fun and rexing time for Antares, serving to remind him that he had a very good and supportive family, that even with their hangups *cough* marriage contract *cough*, was still one of the most valuable things the Catalog gave him.

  After dessert, Venana smirked and called all the dies to see the baby photos of Sirzechs, Antares, and Millicas she had accumuted over the years. Grayfia, Kuisha, and Eu gdly followed her.

  Now only Zeocitus, Antares, Sairaog, and Sirzechs were in the hall.

  "Wanna go see Ajuka now?", suggested Sirzechs while breaking the silence.

  "I don't see why not.", agreed Antares with a shrug of his shoulders; "The dies will take ages to go through all of Mother's albums anyway.", Sirzechs and Sairaog ughed, and Zeocitus just smiled.

  The quartet quickly huddled together, and with a snap of Sirzechs finger, they disappeared in a fsh of crimson light.

  Closing his eyes, Antares sighed inwardly, seeing as Zeocitus was going to go with them no matter what, Razen decided to rip this bandaid off, stop being a scaredy cat, and tell his parents what happened to his Cn Traint. Ajuka will undoubtedly see through whatever lies he can come up with, so it's better to be truthful from the beginning. Besides, it's not like he is among strangers; Sairaog, His Father, His Brother, Razen trusts each one of them with his life, much less such information.

  The whys and hows are another matter entirely, he won't be telling about the Company, Heritages, or Temptes to anyone besides his peerage, ever. This info is non-shareable, even to close family.

  .

  .

  .

  Ajuka's boratory was something else, the literal wet dream of any magician who had the minimum of knowledge. It was both extremely high-tech and magical to the point it had long since broken into the realms of absurd science fiction. Strange apparels, contraptions, monitors, holograms, blinking lights, and magic metals, lots and lots of metal and magic. It had anything one could imagine about your stereotypical magitech boratory and more.

  Likely warned by Sirzechs beforehand, the green-haired Devil was waiting for them just a few steps ahead, his head turned at a strange oval-shaped screen in front of him, his focus was something of legends, to the point no one dared to interrupt whatever that he was doing.

  After the Second Super Devil of hell turned towards them, the other finally saw fit to greet him properly. A chorus of Lord Belzeebub this and lord Belzeebub that, went completely ignored while the man looked intensely at Razen.

  "Fascinating…", echoed the man's mumble, while he instantly appeared beside the younger crimson-haired Devil.

  "Your body is honest… superb.", the man commented while lost in thought, nothing besides cold professionalism in his voice, with a wave of his hand many magical circles passed through Razen without the boy even being able to blink; "Not very strong yet, but its quality is… off the charts.", he continued mumbling, while a spell of his typed every single thought of his inside of his mind, categorizing and organizing the information at incredible speeds.

  "Oh? A divergent element?", Ajuka commented surprised, one of his green-colored circles momentarily pausing; "An out-of-context power? Maybe a blessing of another pantheon… unlikely.", the genius devil tsked; "Element seems to be completely natural, so a mutation then.".

  "... the body seems to easily accept and adapt to the element.", continued the comments of the scientist Super Devil; "The element strengthened the body and mana in a positive feedback loop…", he then stopped and kept mumbling under his breath in a nguage none of those present could discern; "…Incalcuble potential for physical development.".

  Completely ignoring the four newcomers, the green-haired Super Devil teleported back to the middle of his b, only the green lights of innumerable magical circles constantly fshing remaining in his wake.

  Sirzechs sighed; "Damn, it's been a while seen I've seen him this enthusiastic about something.", The crimson-haired Super Devil turned towards his longtime friend; "Hey Ajuka!".

  The Beelzebub did not answer.

  Sirzechs let out a bit of his demonic mana, his control so superb that the only person who felt it was the other Satan in the room.

  Frowning, Ajuka teleported beside his friend in the same instant; "What?", he asked in a robotic voice filled with annoyance.

  "Remembered what we talked about on the phone friend?", asked Sirzechs in a calming tone of voice.

  "Ah, that.", Ajuka rolled his eyes; "The boy is okay. Healthy as he can be.".

  "So what were those mumblings of yours?", asked Sirzechs puzzled; "Something about an unknown element..".

  Ajuka shook his head; "That secret isn't mine to tell, you would have to ask the boy yourselves.", the green-haired devil then smirked; "But looking at him, he was probably going to tell you guys anyway.".

  Three pairs of curious eyes instantly zeroed in on Antares, making the boy start to sweat bullets.

  "Fine…", the boy relented, recently having decided to spill the beans anyway; "Like Lord Beelzebub pointed out, I was going to bring it up anyway.", Antares expined, calming down for a bit, searching with both of his Goetias how to come up with a way to say it, and he found there was no easy answer to that. 'The direct way it is then.', the younger devil decided inwardly before speaking up; "My Cn Trait mutated.".

  There was an absolute silence for a moment, every single Devil in the room, bar Ajuka, was utterly speechless.

  Trait mutation was not a pleasant topic for any Devil, it was rarely, if any, a beneficial thing. And every single Devil in this room was perfectly aware of that.

  Sirzechs turned to Ajuka, his eyes widening in arm; "How?". The green-haired devil shrugged; "I have no idea.".

  "But you have theories?", pressed Zeocitus, speaking for the first time since he arrived. Amongst everyone, he was the most concerned about the mutation, the older Devil knew for a fact how insistent Zekram Bael could be, and if he heard that his prized Power of Destruction mutated, only Lucifer knew what he was going to do.

  "I do, of course.", confirmed Ajuka; "As a scientist, I always have theories, even very farfetched ones.". The green-haired devil then went silent, completely missing Zeocitus' expectant and curious gaze.

  Sirzechs forced a ugh, doing his best to diminish the tension; "Ajuka, Father wants you to expin some of your theories.".

  "Oh, that… Sure.", the green-haired Devil agreed; "With at least 62.547851% chances of being true, the highest chance is this mutation occurred due to outside interference.". Feeling the Demonic Mana of his best friend almost exploding to the surface, Ajuka quickly continued; "But I soon discarded that possibility.".

  "Huh?", everyone excimed confused and uncaringly for their loud voices. Ajuka, who remained unbothered, continued; "There are simply no Gods or simir beings alive with the same attribute as him. His mutation is unique that way.".

  "So even if it had the highest possibility, I instantly discarded it as untrue.", continued the Super Devil, not knowing he was absolutely right with that one, but that is a secret Razen will take to the grave.

  "With at least 42.689745% chances of being true, my second guess was a type of Artifact, Herb, or anything of simir nature that has body and soul altering proprieties.", stated Ajuka while walking back and forth; "But as the Vampire Queen Valerie Tepes hasn't stepped out of her castle in at least 3 months, nor did his body held any kind of residue for anything remotely reted to such alterations, I soon discarded this possibility as well.".

  "The third possibility, which I first designated as a 37.878231% probability, was that he is simply more compatible with this new element, so compatible in fact, that his body and soul mutated to accommodate it.", finished the Super Devil in a robotic tone.

  "Father…", started Sirzechs seeing Zeocitus' bnk expression, the older man shook his head; "What is his new trait them? ".

  "Force, Power of Force to be more exact.", this time it was Antares who answered. And before anyone could ask, he summoned a Forceball.

  Feeling a little curious, Sairaog went and poked the Forceball, only to be met with a hard surface.

  "Huh, If I didn't have my magic senses, seeing this thing would be quite difficult.", mumbled the muscur devil out loud.

  "And what would this force be capable of?", asked Zeocitus with a raised eyebrow, suppressing the typhoon of emotions he was feeling internally.

  "Well… I barely had this Trait for a week.", the devil Heir scratched his head awkwardly; "So I didn't even scratch the surface of its potential.", commented Antares a little apologetically; "But in a way, it functions remarkably close to how Ice works.".

  Razen turned the Forceball into a Force Spear, and then into a Wall of Force; "It's pretty flexible and allows me to create a myriad of forms made of Pure Force.".

  Zeocitus frowned, his expression turning a little grim; "It looks quite a bit weaker than the Power of Destruction.".

  "Yeah, in a way, it is…", Antares replied in a sedated tone.

  Sirzechs scoffed; "I sincerely doubt there is a single Trait in the underworld capable of toppling the Power of Destruction when it comes to, well, destroying.", the crimson devil chuckled; "It's literally on the name, It destroys stuff. But this Power of Force boosts a flexibility Destruction could only dream off.".

  "But it does not have the more conceptual nature of Destruction.", argued Zeocitus back, feeling a little calmer by the second.

  "And how many people exactly were able to even touch the conceptual part of the Power of destruction?", asked Sirzechs with a smirk.

  "Only you until now, only you…", mumbled Zeocitus a little disheartened.

  "Besides, we don't yet know what this Power of Force can do.", pointed out Sizechs in good humor; "Perhaps it will still surprise us.".

  Ajuka snorted, feeling the situation was just way too funny; "You have no idea what a Force Dragon is, do you?", he asked in a slightly amused tone.

  "Force Dragon?", asked the three clueless Devils, with only Antares staying suspiciously quiet.

  Ajuka nodded; "Force Dragons, together with Prismatic Dragons, used to be the strongest species of Dragons that ever graced Draconic Deus.", expined the second strongest devil in a deadpan tone; "That Title was mostly due to their sheer potential than anything else, Sadly there is just a single record, precisely no more than a tale, of one of these dragons reaching maturity, so we don't know a lot about them.".

  "Huh, one of them reached maturity?", asked Sairaog curiously; "Which one?".

  "The Dragon God.", added Ajuka solemnly.

  "...Which one?", asked Sirzechs with a smile. Ajuka shook his head; "I am not talking about a Dragon God, but THE Dragon God.".

  Zeocitus' eyes widened, his ancient mind making a few connections the Devil Lord admits are quite scary; "Wait, so if a Prismatic or Force Dragon reaches maturity… they become Dragon Gods? ".

  Ajuka nodded; "Indeed, and if the tales Tannin shared with us are to be believed... The Dragon God was a Prismatic Dagon; who went to create all of the Gem, Chromatic, and Metallic Dragons before disappearing.", The green-haired devil's eyes became vacant, his mind likely focused elsewhere; "To this day, the only proof of his existence are the tales passed down through the Dragon's generations.", eyes returning to normal, Ajuka looked at a monitor from the corner of his eye; "Some say that he became the Dimensional Gap itself, others that he Ascended to another yer of reality entirely.".

  "Woah, that is quite a bomb to drop on our ps Ajuka.", stated Sirzechs feeling a little dizzy; "But what about the Force Dragons? Liking it or not, you mentioned them for a reason, no?".

  "Indeed, in a way, Force Dragons and Prismatic Dragons are two halves of the same coin, a Ying to a Yang, that sort of thing.", started the scientist while looking at a floating magic circle spewing a river of random data.

  "While Prismatic Dragons are masters of the Elements and all that is Mystical, Force Dragons are the masters of the physical universe.", Ajuka then turned towards Antares; "Go on then, boy. Show it.".

  Antares sighed, feeling quite a bit naked before Ajuka's gaze, he had to admit that from his perspective, the most terrifying Satan will always be Ajuka Beelzebub.

  Raising his right hand, Antares focused on his recently created Goetia, channeling his Demonic Mana through his hand, he activated his personal magic circle, which shone in glistering silver-white light. Suddenly, Almost 90% of his mana was spent, nearly making the boy stumble.

  Above the circle, a small bck sphere slowly formed, and when it was the size of a baseball, Antares stopped feeding it. Looking around, he saw that every single Devil had been affected by a Gravitational Pull. And although none of them even moved an inch due to their strengths, the tips of their clothes told no lies.

  "Gravitational Pull…", mumbled Sirzechs with a tone of surprise; "So that means-"

  "That your little brother here.", Ajuka pointed at Antares; "Much like the Force Dragons of old, has the potential of becoming a master of the Physical Universe.".

  "Sorry, but why does being able to control Gravity have anything to do with that?", asked Sairaog with a small curious frown.

  "It's not just gravity.", Ajuka chuckled; "It's Gravitational Force, and this means that Antares here-", he pointed at the boy again; "Has the potential to control the Four Fundamental Forces of the universe, thus, becoming the Master of the Physical Universe.".

  "You know… you guys should stop hyping me up so much.", added Antares feeling quite awkward with the sudden bouts of praise; "I can just make some silly constructs with Force right now. And I barely tapped into Gravitational Force today's morning, much Less Weak Force, Strong Force and Electromagnetic Force.", the Devil Heir then chuckled a little depreciatively; "Whatever this Master of the Physical Universe thing is, it is still very far from my current self.".

  "But it means you have the potential, no?", added Zeocitus with his composure finally back.

  "Indeed he does.", added Ajuka; "But so do all Devil Traits as well.".

  Zeocitus scoffed, contempt audible in his single action; "As if, some pilr houses have pretty underwhelming traits.".

  Ajuka shook his head; "That's because they are uncreative fools.", Sairaog was suddenly paying very apt attention to the green Satan. "Having a strong trait means nothing if you do not train nor know how to use it.".

  Before Zeocitus could ask another question, Ajuka continued; "A good example of this is the Agares Cn.".

  Both Sirzechs and Antares winced. The two Gremorys likely knew what Ajuka was going to say.

  "Their trait is Power of Time.", stated the scientist devil a little pinly; "If my predictions are correct, they should've long since assumed dominion over the underworld."

  Zeocitus frowned; "I don't see how they could, the Agares Power of Time trait has plenty of limitations-".

  "Father, It's, pardon my nguage and interruption, the fucking Power of Time!", Antares answered with a little heat, before eborating even more; "Parallel Timelines, Hyperbolic Time Chambers, Time Dition, Time Echoes, Time Acceleration, Time Clones, Time Rewind, Time Stop, and the list keeps going on.". When the elder Gremory looked at Ajuka, the green-haired devil was nodding in confirmation to Antares' words.

  "You give any half-brained human the Power of Time for a decade and we would have a 5th Satan already.", Antares took a deep breath and calmed himself down; "But this is already outside of the point, I am sorry for deviating from the main subject. But the Agares simply make me extremely frustrated.". And while Antares may be hiding a blush of shame at what he just said, he is plenty confident in reaching the fabled Satan level in less than 5 years. Well, he needs to reach it sooner, but that is beside the point.

  Sirzechs patted Antares on the back, sharing an understanding nod with Ajuka; "Don't worry, we know exactly how you feel.".

  "Lord Beelzebub said that all cn Traits hold immense potential. And you clearly seem to agree with him.", Zeocitus then, probably due to his own rising anger and frustration, pointed at Sairaog; "What about the Vapu Trait then, they just have the innate ability to tame lions.".

  Feeling a little awkward, Sairaog, bless his soul, didn't take Zeocitus' comment the wrong way, so he just waved back with a small smile.

  "Besides the point that Sairaog just became the strongest Devil of our generation thanks to said trait.", pointed out Antares, making Sairaog smile a little brighter; "And albeit this is a common mistake… If you talk to any Vapu for an extended period, you would know their trait is not the power of taming lions, albeit that is the easiest expression of it.".

  Calming down once more, Zeocitus raised his eyebrow; "What it is then?".

  "It's the Power Over Lions.", Sairaog added in his usual friendly manner.

  "Funnily enough, at the start, I thought much the same way as you Lord Gremory, that it was just some lion-taming ability.", Sairaog then chuckled, a nostalgic expression taking over his face; "But after remembering a talk with my mother long ago.", Sairaog's gaze darkened for a bit; "I had my eyes opened.".

  "I admit Antares helped me a lot with the different perspectives and Ideas here.", stated Sairaog, earning a hesitant nod from Antares; "Power Over Lions means that I have power over anything Lion themed so to say.", expined Sairaog still maintaining his smile; "A construct of Ice that looks like a lion, mine. Light that resembles the figure of a Lion, easy. Martial Arts that mimic Lions, almost instantaneously to learn.", he then flexed and made a pose that slightly resembled a crouching Lion, making his presence increase by a few magnitudes for a moment; "Basically, as long as I can make something Lion themed, I can easily grasp it, most of the times its instantaneously even.".

  "So that means..", Zeocitus's eyes widened, realization finally dawning on him; "You can probably cast any type of magic, as long as you make it lion-themed. Your father's allegations you were talentless in magic was-".

  "True.", Sairaog completed, making the older Gremory defte; "My Demonic Mana reserves are still extremely pitiful. But as long as it is Lion themed, I have way more leeway.", the lion tamer added.

  "Oh, that makes more sense.", admitted the older Gremory sheepishly while recomposing himself, turning towards Sairaog Zeocitus sighed; "Anyway, sorry about my behavior Sairaog, you did not deserve to be made an example of.".

  "No harm done Lord Gremory.", Sairaog dispersed the older man's worries.

  "Just out of curiosity Ajuka.", initiated Sirzechs wishing to change the subject a little; "Is Antares part dragon now?".

  "No. He is 100% a Devil.", confirmed the Beelzebub; "I checked.". Sirzechs nodded in appreciation.

  Razen felt a little relieved becoming a CHIMERA MANTIS didn't change his species, it is probably akin to when humans become SPARTANS in Halo, they are still human, just with a 'super' prefix now.

  Later in the Gremory Mannor, the quartet had come back from Ajuka's b, opting to not take more time than necessary from the devil Scientist.

  Zeocitus and Sizechs had huddled into a corner, trying to talk among themselves, probably something reted to Antares Trait nutation if the words the devil Heir overheard were right. They seemed to want their privacy, so he gave them the space they wanted.

  Sitting back at the dining table, Razen and Sairaog decided to have a snack and talk for a bit.

  "Did you manage to find that Werelion we talked about Cousin?", asked Antares between bites of a succulent hamburger.

  "Oh, unfortunately, no.", answered Sairaog sounding a little dejected, drinking a little bit of juice from his chalice, he continued; "But I and Kuisha have been researching the more common Werewolf rituals to see if we can alter it to create Werelions instead.".

  "That is pretty smart.", complimented Antares; "You should also rope Regulus in as well, no one knows more about being a lion than him after all.".

  Sairaog ughed; "Too true cousin, too true.".

  "And you?", Sairaog started; "Will you really break your arranged marriage with Revya?".

  Razen face turned serious; "I will.". The muscur devil sighed; "Can't fault you for that, Revya is very… intense?".

  Antares snorted; "You are being way too polite.".

  The conversation died down after that, the two mostly stayed on small talk; speaking about training, gym tips, the uses of healing magic to help with training, and many others. Funnily enough, Sairaog's Gym Tips were so good, that Antares felt his Athletic Talent improve by leaps and bounds.

  A few minutes ter, Zeocitus and Sirzechs had finished their private talk and rejoined them at the table, they also didn't forget to add their own tidbits and tips to the conversation, helping both young Devils quite a bit. Razen swore he could feel his Talents salivating with each word spoken by the more experienced Devils.

  "Ah, little bro, I almost forgot.", excimed Sirzechs in his usual silly tone; "Your contract please.".

  With a flick of his will, Antares summoned the contract from his office via teleportation circle and handed it over to Sirzechs; "Here Brother, and as weird as this mission was, I successfully managed to eliminate the Stray devil.".

  ""Good."", answered Sirzechs and Zeocitus at the same time, earning a ugh from the Lucifer; "This helped me quite a bit little bro, thank you.".

  "And don't worry, I and your brother will thoughtfully investigate this contract.", added Zeocitus hiding an ocean of anger at the fools who attempted to kill his son; "If what you told us is right, the church probably went back on their word, restarting their experiments trying to make Artificial Angels.".

  "And from what we know.", started Sirzechs in a serious tone; "Such experiments had been forbidden by the words of Michael himself.".

  "No to mention this Bishop Francisco that sounds incredibly suspicious as well.", added Zeocitus with a slight grimace.

  "I will ask Serafall about him ter. And we will see what to do from there.", added Sirzechs with a final sigh.

  AN: And the chapter is done.

  This one took quite a bit to edit, and I quite liked it as well.

  Razen finally tells his family about his new Trait.

  Sairaog and Kuisha finally appear, and I can confidently say that Sairaog is one of my favorite characters in DxD. And I totally ship him with Kuisha... I also ship him with Roygun, but I fully admit that is a weird ship.

  Answer: I would go with a big Warhammer like the Clear Sky Hammer, and give it a general refinement enchantment, something to make it stronger, heavier, denser, return to the user's hand, and augment the damage upon strikes. Elemental boosts are also nice as well. Could also go with a size modifier as well.
