Another week has passed and by week, the devils would ihe human world, bringing the war to human soil.

  During this time, the Mystic Guardian’s number has reached from five to fifteen, each having their own unique characteristid onization.

  If only I have gunsmith knowledge, I would’ve implemented hot ons to the Mystic Guardians, bringing their power to the level.

  Too bad, I don’t.

  However, oher hand, the Mystic Guardians no longer have weaknesses in magic, as I created a Magic Resistance ruo them.

  Although the resistance is quite weak and almost ent however, it is better than nothing.

  If I have more time, no doubt I would upgrade the both of Mystic Guardians’ defenses and attack power.

  Putting the Mystic Guardians aside, let’s talk about other things, more specifically my strength.

  No, I don’t mean my css strength, I’m talking about my Sacred Gear, os Requiem.

  I traihe Longinus ihe Mirror Dimension, finding more of its uses such as being able to bihe power of the Mirror Dimension and os Requiem.

  If I fe a Mirror Dimension, I could use the power of os Requiem, pnting what I call Time Leylines in the dimension.

  O is pnted, I would be able to trol the time ihe dimension.

  If the Mirror Dimension only allows me to manipute the space of the dimension, os Requiem would let me trol the power of time ioo.

  In other words, I’m slowly ing towards being a literal God ihe Mirror Dimension.

  Ihe Mirror Dimension, I finally trol its time flouting the ratio of the Mirror Dimension and the outside world.

  For example, I could make it so a year would pass ihe Mirror Dimension but only a single sed would pass oside world.

  Of course, I ’t exactly make it work on the whim, doing a 1 year : 1 sed ratio would require intricate trol and immense demoniergy to maintain both the Mirror Dimension and Time Flow.

  To sum it all up, ihe Mirror Dimension, I’m almost uable, I’m like Dormammu himself, almost like a God inside my own dimension.

  Now, let’s talk about my own strength.

  Although I’m not yet an Ultimate-css devil, I feel like I’m nearing one and besides, like I said previously, I could stand toe to toe with oe being only a High-css devil.

  I’m talking about my teiques and strength.

  As a fast learner, I was able to successfully reduce the amount of Demoniergy it es when casting spells.

  Speaking of spells, I’m referring to the Demonic Spells, the ohat require magic circles to cast.

  You see, I have four sets of different magic systems that I use.

  First is my Mystic Spells, ohat doesn’t require magic circles and be cast instantly in exge for having to manually form them by weaving my hands.

  Sed is the Demonic Spells, ohat require no haures in exge for a magic circle.

  Third is the Elemental Spells, the magic system that I learned from the Norse Elves. It mostly included spells that is reted to maniputing nature.

  Last but not the least, Merlin’s Magic system, through the use of the Drag, I’m able to manipute the material world with the help of my stifical knowledge such as creating fire by imagining how fires be made using wood and fri or pig a lock by imagining how locks be picked using pig tools.

  As for the creation of life, even now, I’m still fused how Merlin was able to do such a thing and even have others learn how to do one by only wearing a fug magig.

  I’ll admit, in terms of magic, Merlin is way above than me and even the A One herself despite not seeing what she’s fully capable. Heck, I’ll bet my left ball that the Merlin in Marvel Universe is strohan the A One.

  Aside from the magic spells, I created quite a few useful teiques thanks to my prodigious talent.

  The first teique I made was inspired from the famous Dragon Ball, the Kaio-Ken, my triggering the Demoniergy inside me aing it go wild, I was able to enhance my physical capabilities either tenfold or twentyfold, depending on how much Demoniergy I want to burn.

  Obviously, this teique has its downsides, not only it es too much Demoniergy, but it also leaves my body in a vulnerable state, like a small nerf of halving my physical strength ohe Kaoi-Ken turns off, its a bummer for sure but the advantages far outweighs the opposite.

  Unfortunately, this teique only be used as some sort of st resort, not reeo use at the start or middle of a battle.

  The sed teique i created and even mastered is reted to my os Requiem which I will call Time Echo, it is basically a watered-down version of the Loop ability of the Sacred Gear, just in case you fot, Loop is an innate sacred gear ability that allows me to create a checkpoint iy, allowio respawn upoh.

  The Time Echo oher hand is not only single use but also weaker, the only adva has pared to the Loop is the ption of Demoniergy whereas Loop's ption doubles for every death, the Time Echo only es less the amount as the Loop's initial ption.

  In other words, if Loop es ten points of Demoniergy, Time Echo es half of that.

  Time Echo is basically a teique that be cast instantly and instead of having the dition of death to activate like the Loop, Time Echo only activates on attack hit me, whether it is a punch or a simple Demonic Bullet to a literal Nuclear Bomb, it would immediately activate and bring my status back to the way it was before during the time the teique was casted.

  It's a bit plicate but just think of it as having a literal sed life.

  Uhe Kaio-Ken, this teique only has the downside of a cool down, so I 't just spam this shit.

  Now, the st teique I developed was still unfinished but o does, it would bring my overall strength to great heights.

  It's a seal teique and not just any sealing teique, it's the same teique that God used on Lucifer, sealing his angelic bloodline and turning him into a devil.

  Basically, this st teique, which I will call as Eternal Binding Seal or EBS for short, it's a teique that I took inspiration from an anime called Naruto, by toug someone's body, I would be able to block the person's bloodliemporarily removing their access to their bloodline's passive and active abilities, let's say for example, a bloodlihat give the persoimes the strength of a normal human, using EBS on that person would cause him to lose that strength and weaken him greatly.

  It's a very powerful teique, too bad it is unfinished.

  It was only thanks to one of Merlin's diaries that I found hidden in the Library that I even mao get this far. Basically, in Merlin's diary, he took inspiration from the Heaven's system when he worked at it along with God. In the Heaven's system, he found out that the system has the capability to create angels and also strip them of their angelic powers like what happeo Lucifer and to the future ahat followed his path.

  I'm going to admit it, I'm not even close to half finishing this teique and I doubt I would be able to plete it before the Great War, so I could only work on this as a hobby and not fully focus on finishing it.

  That sums up to my erength during this hectic week, currently, I just got off from a meeting with the members of the Anti-Satan fa where Zekram told me and the four future heirs such as Serafall, Ajuka, Sirzechs and Falbium to hold back our strengths during the Great War and don't stand out, emphasizing that our roles during the Civil War that will arise after the Great War will be very important.

  Although I agree with him, however, I have long decided to y ties with Zekram after the Great War, the guy is too ing and I'm afraid that the longer I stay with him, the more I'll lose myself and unknowingly dan top of his palm.

  It would be better off without him after this. After all, we both know we're just using each other at this point, so it's pretty normal for me to distance myself once our use on each other is finished.

  Putting that aside, I was secretly called by Serafall to meet up with her in Ajuka's research b.

  Now, I don't know the reason behind it but seeing her serious look made me agree quick.

  A single portal ter, I am now standing in the middle of Ajuka's b whereas the arms quickly went off as soon as I stepped in.

  WEEEEEEWOOOOO!!

  "Oh, it's just you....Dammit, I should find a way to block that portal of yours, it's way more powerful than teleportation spells." Ajuka immediately greeted me with a slight annoyan his toreating me as if I'm the sed ing of Serafall in his mundane life.

  "My apologies, it's just that I don't know the exact location of your b so I resorted to simply juring a portal to the pce that I recall." I apologized before tinuing, ging the topic.

  "Anyways, it was Serafall who told me to meet up with her in your b, any ideas?" As soon as I brought up this subject, I saw his eyes grew slightly wary as he whispered loud enough for only me to hear.

  "It's a bit plicated, e with me." With that being said, he turned around to leave, gesturing for me to follow him.

  And follow him I did.

  We arrived in some kind of room where I quickly saw other three figures inside.

  Serafall, who was maniputing an iake to fly around her.

  Falbium, who was sleeping on the couch.

  And finally, Sirzechs, the man was simply reading a book about business and stuff, seriously, this guy has been doing nothing but business.

  "We're all finally here!" Serafall was the first oo notice me as she unched and engulfed me in a hug.

  Sniffing on her o like st, I smiled warmly. Yeah, I definitely miss this girl.

  Sirzechs pced down a book mark on his book and closed it before nudging Falbium to wake him up.

  It took him a while before Falbium finally opened his eyes with a yawn.

  "Alright, let's start the meeting." It was Ajuka who initiated.

  Iing, I wonder why we're gathering up and having a secret meeting.

  "I believe that we all have the same is here, am I right?" Ajuka's question earned a few nods of heads except for me.

  "I'm sorry but someone please fill me in on the meeting? Why am I even here?" I raised my hand like a good student before asking.

  "You mean, Serafall didn't tell you?" Ajuka stared at me with weird eyes before casting a gre to Serafall histling while looking anywhere but Ajuka.

  Ajuka simply sighed at this and turned bae as he finally revealed.

  "We think that Zekram is being too ambitious and if not trolled, he might be pnning to repce the Four Satans and rule the entire Underworld by himself. Don't fet, greed is part of our personality whether we like it or not."

  As soon as he finished his words, a grin was already pstered on my face.

  Well well well, would you look at that, I guess I'm not the only one whose growing suspicious of you, Zekram.
