Devil Emperor

I stood before the Familiar Forest and waited for the Familiar Master to arrive. Familiar Master or his apprentices normally act like guides through the Familiar Forest as it was pretty easy to get lost in this dammed place.

Not talking about the fact, this place was also dangerous, as deeper parts of the Forest was filled with General-Level monster and even stronger beings... not to mention, Tiamat the Chaos Karma Dragon, who was stronger than Pinnacle Satan-Class had a nest in a Familiar Forest. Though there have been rumors that she has reached Heavenly Dragon-Class already, due to few engagements with Welsh Dragon Y Ddraig Goch, The Red Dragon of Domination.

"A Devil? ... you smell like Lucifer and... that maniac... interesting."

Said a voice from the darkness. When I turned around I saw a figure standing there, it was a man, a tall handsome man wearing a black coat with a long mixture of black and blond hairs as well as heterochromatic eyes where his right eye is gold and his left eye is black and he has pointed ears.

I knew that he wasn't human and I felt incredible power surging from him.

"Dark Dragon of the Crescent Moon, Crom Cruach."

The man before me was one of the strongest Evil Dragons in the existence, or rather would be. Even though I knew he was strong as Zekram, this should be shortly after he was released from his control by Evil God Balor, who used nefarious means to control Crom Cruach.

"And you have awakened the Devour Clan Trait... interesting... maybe in the future, you would be a worthy opponent. What is your name, fledgling?"

Asked me Crom Cruach as he leaned over the tree. Just by his presence alone, all monsters in the surrounding areas escaped to the deeper parts of the forest.

"Zeoticus Gremory von Lucifer, My Lord."

I replied politely... existences like Crom Cruach could snap my neck in a matter of seconds if they find something they don't like, especially mad ones like Crom Cruach that didn't care about consequences.

"No need to talk with me like some stuck-up noble, fledgling. Just call me by my name... I could be considered as a family friend... yes."

Said Crom Cruach with a small laugh at the end of the sentence.

"Now, now come... I will guide you. What Familiar are you looking for?"

Asked me Crom Cruach as he signaled me to follow him.

"Spitting Thorny Flower."

I answered slowly, as Crom Cruach stopped for a while.

"Hahahaa... you are one of those, right? To groom it to reach a higher level, an enormous amount of resources would be needed... and in case of that thing, you know what I meant?"

Laughed Crom Cruach with a crazy smile.

"Yes. Countless corpses of strong beings for it to evolve. Soon enough the Great War between Three Factions will start and few other conflicts, so I don't have to worry about not having enough fertilizer for my familiar. Currently, I have around 75 thousands of corpses of Fallen Angels, that attacked one of my outposts."

I have read a lot about Spitting Thorny Flower. With each evolution, it will regress to the weakest state, but also obtain new abilities and increase the limit to the strength it could achieve. For example, Spitting Thorny Flower could maximally reach Warrior-Level, afterward, it could evolve into Bloody Thorny Flower. It would then obtain new abilities, but also fall back into Minion-Level, though its potential would increase to the Commander-Level... and it worked like this.

"Yes... war."

Muttered Crom Cruach under his breath. I knew he is someone that is affiliated with the Celtic Pantheon, that suffered greatly under Yahweh's expansion of Christianity.

"Crom Cruach... if you want, you can fight against Church and Heaven, I can easily make it real."

When I said that, he stopped in his tracks, and looked at me with piercing looks.

"How that fledgling."

He said.

"Together with Great King Zekram Bael, we have devised a plan how to weaken Church and Heaven. Several other Pantheons would be cleaning their backyards from the influence of the Christianity, most notable ones being Blood Races of the Old Yharnam, Olympians, Shinto, and Aesir."

The last two we not certain... but I will make it certain in the future.

"Celtic Pantheon could clear entire Britannia, and get its territory back... don't you think so? You can even fight on the main battlefield against Cadres, or even Archangels?"

I continued my persuasion.

"Good, good fledgling... you have courage. Do you have enough of it to enter Lifeblood Soul Geass Contract?"

Lifeblood Soul Geass Contract was a very hidden secret among Lords of the Houses. It was a very special type of contract, that devils could enter into, where not even the existence of your True Name could protect you if you breach it.

"Yes."

I said solemnly. If I could get Crom Cruach on my side, it will make everything easier, and also I will have another powerful combatant on my side. Not to mention, that he will soon reach Heavenly Dragon-Class. With his body and magic, he could easily slaughter Archangels.

Among Evil Dragons he was most honorable and respectful. The rest of them were the true embodiment of evilness.

"I have one question before we proceed."

I said before drafting the contract.

"Ask away."

"You have lived for a long time, and seem aware of my secrets of the Devil Race. Lately, I have been thinking... Zekram said that Four Great Satans have a method to restrain Big G... but it sounds laughable to me, three of them are Pinnacle of Satan-Class and only Lucifer is Super-Devil, but Big G is bona fidei Apocalyse-Class... the Being of Law."

I stated my question. This was something that didn't let me sleep. No matter how I thought about it, never I found something that could answer my doubts.

"Ohh that... the answer is more simple. Do you know about Trihexa?"

Asked Crom Cruach with a creepy voice, to which my face paled.
