I Am A Villain

(1000 years until plot start.)

Her death only strengthened my resolve to get stronger, I had the time, I had the minimum knowledge required, all that is left is to travel and experiment. During the years that passed my power of domination increased. The area 1 km around me could directly become my territory, This is the power that will give me victory in the long term so I used it nonstop to strengthen it. In this universe, there were 4 battlefields.

The 1st is the underworld, the 2nd is Heaven, the 3rd is the Dimensional Gap and the last is Earth. The first 3 have been inaccessible to me as it isn't as simple as having magic power. The correct magic must be known. The low-level fallen I got my hand on didn't have any information regarding how to get there. The only solution is to experiment with it myself. If my theory is correct then I won't lose out even if I end up in the wrong place. I don't know when supernatural beings start to be more active in this world and I can't seem to detect them…

The walls between these places are slim but firm. What I need is not to destroy them but merely pass through the gate. The correct magic is the key that opens the door. I don't know how to target the wall I want to get through or the key to the door but I can theoretically slice through a wall if I focus my magic in one strike using my dominator simultaneously to force it open. It is all theory in the end though.

(900 years until plot start.)

My experiments finally bore fruit. I was able to locate weak spots around the world where it was easier to force the wall between these worlds to appear. I still have failed to break through them but the progress is fast. As for supernatural beings, they have yet to have appeared and my agents so far haven't discovered anything.

I decided to start an organization when she died, it wasn't much, a few people here and a few there. It seemed that my mark of domination was hereditary. Their children continue to serve, while I provide them a healthy and strong body or what they like to call 'blessing' or 'protection'. They see me higher than God. When I asked why a farmer came forward, kneeled and said:

Agent: "God may be great, he may be mighty, but Your Highness is here, he never was. What use is a God that doesn't do anything? For all we care, God can simply die in his throne."

I was able to figure out a way to slip through the 4 areas. The problem was that I wasn't able to determine the location I ended up in. I tried going in and the first experience was as to my expectations. I ended up in the dimensional gap, the space between dimensions. Using the same method I did trial and error on different parts of the world until I finally arrived in the underworld. As I investigated a war was ongoing. It seemed to have gone for a long time and it wasn't ending just yet.

(750 years until plot start.)

Nobody noticed the bodies missing during the war but I came across a problem. Little by little the war was drawing to a close. While I couldn't take the risk of spiking a war across the 3 factions, a little infighting, especially among the devils was easily arranged.

'After all, I am a monster with many faces.'

An influential high-level devil announced missing during the war, assassinating the son of one of the 72 pillars of the underworld? A small war is thus easily created.

(700 years until plot start.)

I encounter the 1st sacred gear wielder while roaming the underworld. He was a high ranking reincarnated devil. This allowed me to confirm that devils had produced their little chess pieces.

'Time to see if the effects can suppress my domination.'

I spread information that should any self-proclaimed devil approach them they are to accept his offer. If it worked, then this would allow my agents to spread in the underworld. Slowly but surely my domination was expanding. Scientists have proved that all events originate from a simple action that might be as simple as the butterfly flapping a wing or a certain someone being killed and a world war starting.

I don't delude myself as someone that can see that far in the future but a few simple schemes should be within my capabilities. Spiking a war or spreading confusion should be relatively easy in the future.

As for the sacred gear user, it was the simple twice critical… simple as it may be it proved deadly in actual combat. Suddenly increasing the overall strength by two times is not to be underestimated so I liberated it from him, but not the usual aim. The gauntlet is the container that utilizes the power of the soul of the dragon imprisoned withing. Simple meaning that if I aim for the gauntlet I should be able to absorb the spirit of the dragon. I didn't take the risk of killing the host first as it may prove unfavorable.

'Experiment is a success… but if this is the power of a mere Twice Critical… then what about the Red Dragon Emperor. I can't wait to find out.'

Sadly the container of the soul couldn't be consumed. I wasn't sure why as it was supposed to be made of dragon body-parts. It might have something to do with the fact that god personally made them but it didn't matter. The souls could only depend on themselves for protection, and against me they had none.

(500 years until plot start.)

The magic of the devils was so easy to use. I just had to imagine what I wanted and it happened. The only thing I needed was enough magic and a clear image. The clearer the image the more powerful the spell. Sadly I couldn't teleport my-self yet, but folding space to create a 'Gate' that would allow me to arrive at a location I have previously been at was relatively easy. My bioelectricity wasn't magic but it was just as strong. It could be used as a surprise attack that could not be protected against using magic.

Finding any more sacred gear users wasn't as easy though.

' I guess he is the main character for a reason. It doesn't matter. I can wait as long as it takes.'

Based on pure magic power I was on par with a high-rank 'Ultimate Devil'. Using my entire set of abilities I could probably defeat a super devil. I was itching to try but I held myself back. The problem was that changing history that much might backfire and cause all those sacred gears to be spread out. Keeping it intact will cause the sacred gears to gather in Kuoh and allow me to reap them one by one as I see fit.
