During this week, I have spent most of my time in the library, as always. I was studying magic to complete my Tier Magic System, as I called it. Theoretically, I currently have two Tiers completed from the Tier Magic System. Not a very creative name; I was aware of that.
One was Zero-Tier, which any Novice Magician could cast, meaning he has Novice-ranked mastery. Spells of the Zero-Tier are either without destructive or weak destruction abilities, used mainly in one-on-one combat.
The second was Adjustable-Tier.
This one was a bit complicated, but the base premise was that the Tier of the spell was determined by the amount of Demonic Power/Magical Power used during the casting process.
Such spell was, for example, Gravity Fall. Based on how much Demonic Power I used in the casting process, this spell could have the power of Zero-Tier or higher Tiers, which are purely conceptual right now.
I have also trained a bit with my Clan Trait, Dark Light, and felt that soon I would be able to reach Exper-ranked mastery, meaning I could create a half-open Gate of Babylon.
"Vena was right... it appears your love for magic is fanatical indeed."
Said a voice belonging to a man. When I turned around, I immediately recognized the person who had come. The First Great King has come for a visit. Apparently, he found his way to the library.
"It is an honor to meet the First Great King."
I said as I bowed deeply.
'Architect, if you scan him, what is the possibility that he will notice that?'
[Very high. Though I can scan his energy ripples to detect his class, while not that accurate.]
'Do it.'
[Scanning process complete.
Demonic Energy: 900 to 1,000
The subject is probably around the Pinnacle of Satan-Class]
Said Architect in my head. Damm, he was strong. They are probably the strongest devil after Original Satans; they should be Super-Devils, though I don't know what stage exactly, but not Pinnacle, maybe Early or Intermediate Stages.
If not, they would have better chances at defeating Big G after he was exhausted from sealing Trihexa; maybe Lucifer was the Pinnacle of Super-Devil Class.
"We can sit."
Motioned Zekram, as we sat down, as he broke me out of my process of thoughts.
"I have brought you something as a gift to commemorate our first meeting."
Said Zekram as he took out the book titled Abyssal Runes and gave it to me. I was shocked when I noticed that book, and soon my shock turned into ecstasy.
"I obtained that book when I was still very young, probably 4,500 years ago. It fell into the Underworld, through the space-time crack in the Dimensional Gap, with several other things that, unfortunately, were not that valuable. Abyssal Runes are very compatible with Devil Magic and could greatly boost up your combat prowess."
Explained Zekram to me, as I was tempted to start reading the book right now, but unfortunately for my researcher tendencies, now there was business to talk about.
"So... what do you think about the current situation, young Lucifer?"
Asked Zekram with more emphasis on the word Lucifer.
"What exactly? Incoming Great War? Worsening situation of our Pantheon as whole or terrible tendencies of Satans?"
I named several things that came to my mind.
"We could start with the War. During my journey here, I noticed that you have already started training your army to be ready for the War. That is good; the quality of your soldiers is increasing steadily, give several years, and Underworld would have another elite army."
Praised Zekram.
"You should be aware of it far better, Lord Zekram. While Four Great Satans built the Devil Race as we know it today, they also led it to its doomsday. And this War, between our Three Factions, would be one for sure."
I stated my opinion while waiting for Zekram to say something. I knew that he deeply respected Four Great Satans, but he was also a pragmatic person who wanted the preservation of the devil race at any cost. World Domination tendencies of the Satans were self-destroying for us.
"That is certainly true, but alas, what can we do? In front of the strength of the Four Satans that reached Super-Devil Class, we were not their match and could only dance as they ordered. Our best chance is that all Three Factions receive enormous casualties that would end in a cease-fire."
Said Zekram after a short time of thinking.
"You should be aware that this is no solution. Aside from Rizevim, all other descendants, especially Bidleid Bashalun Beelzebub, Tsufaame Tereaku Leviathan, and Damaidosu Zereikel Asmodeus, are as hell-bent on world domination as their parents. Even if we survive the War, then there is a huge chance for Civil War erupting."
"I am aware of that fact. Then our only chance would be to dispose of the tumor in our ranks before it grows or Coup before the civil War breaks when it happens. Still... it would be a shame for bloodlines of Leviathan, Asmodeus, and Beelzebub to be lost."
Apparently, we had similar thoughts with Zekram. With the last sentence, I agreed fully, that their Clan Traits were powerful, but I had done some research on the Clan Traits and bloodline; maybe with enough research, I would be able to transplant the bloodline.
"What if that was not the case? What if there was the possibility of transplantation of bloodline from one to another."
I said with a malicious grin on my face.
"Oh?"
"I have done some research on our devil bloodlines, and I am confident that I should be able to achieve such a feat with enough research and experimentation. If only I had some living specimen."
I had done only some research on my body. Getting some living specimens with Clan Trait was extremely hard as Archduke Agares, or Great King Bael, managed all criminals, especially when it came to Nobility.
"Hmm... that should not be that much of a problem. Catch a few useless descendants of Satans during the Great War. Most of their descendants are absolutely useless and weak, so nobody would think there is something wrong if two or three disappeared; they would think they are weak. And Satans disdain everything weak, including their own blood."
