The moment my two peerage members stepped out of the portal, their eyes immediately widened.
"T-this amount of mana..." My new bishop muttered under her breath.
"Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I'm not from your world," I turned to look at them.
Then I knocked my knuckle on my head, closing one of my eyes, and sticking my tongue out.
"Tehe~"
"AS IF!"
To which Justeaze(?) slapped me upside on the head.
"OUCH!" I clutched my head in pain. Actually, I didn't feel that hit, but it's better to play along. Plus, this breaks the ice.
"Ufufufu~" And Rhyme just laughed on our antics.
"Anyways, let me introduce myself once again," I took a step back, and curtsied like the proper noble I am.
"I am Christina Glasya-Labolas, daughter of the Satan Falbium Asmodeus. I have many abilities, and my wish is to see the wonders of all of creation."
"Wait wait wait! Satan?" Justeaze(?) exclaimed.
A 'Hole' opened and dropped a pair of glasses, which I immediately wore.
"As I've said before, I am not from your world. In this world, the supernatural never left for the Reverse Side."
I flared my six pairs of wings. In devils, the number of wings denote how powerful you are.
The Low Class Devils have one to two pairs of wings. Medium Class Devils have three to four, and High Class Devils have five. Ultimate Class Devils have six pairs.
Those that has powers the surpasses Ultimate Class are called Super Devils. Just like the current Lucifer and Beelzebub.
"I am a devil, and you are too now."
With that, their devil wings also appeared.
"The chess pieces you've accepted are my Evil Pieces. It has the ability to turn any living being short of a God into a devil." I manifested a pawn in my hands.
"Every reincarnated Devil has to follow the King that reincarnated them. This is to stabilize the flux of Demonic Energy until your body can handle it."
"Any questions?" Flicking my glasses, I asked them.
Rhyme and Justeaze(?) shared a look before shrugging.
I materialized a tea table and three steaming cups. Rhyme and Justeaze(?) joined me thereafter.
"Well anyways, tell me about yourselves." I say as I sip my cup of coffee.
"Ufufu~ As I've said before, I am Nursery Rhyme. I... I am the manifestation of all the stories the children believed in. My wish is to be remembered." Nursery Rhyme looked a little wistful before her face bloomed into a big smile. "My power is to manifest these tales! The Wonderland, the Never-land, any and all!"
This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
Nursery Rhyme, a Tale for Somebody's sake. In the Moon Cell timeline, she was the Servant of a child named Alice, and swore to never forget her, therefore assuming her form every time she is summoned. However, the one I summoned never met this Alice, thus her current form that is a copy of me.
"I am Angra -wait. Well, I was Angra Mainyu until I merged with Justeaze." Well that explains it.
"You can just call me Justeaze. It's what this body is called anyways. My abilities include sharing the pain I receive to my enemies, summon the curses I held in my body, and imprint these curses onto an enemy, weakening them. I also inherited the abilities of the Dress of Heaven. I can restore anyone to their origin state, healing them. As for my wish... As Angra Mainyu, it's to live a normal life. As Justeaze, it's to create a Utopia for Humanity."
I winced, remembering Angra Mainyu's story.
A child who was ritually made to bear all of the sins of man. These sins were carved on his skin, and was force to bear them. He was beaten, raped, tortured, and burned. His skin was flayed, his bones were snapped, his body was starved and battered.
And then he was summoned for the third Grail War. To which he died shortly after. But his will and tenacity held on and imprinted itself on the grail. His only wish was to live once more, but by doing so releases all the curses he bears, thus dooming mankind.
The Counter Force would never allow this. And if it does happen, the Guardians will appear to eliminate him.
Anyways, back to the matter at hand.
"Rhyme, can you give me your hand. I want to try something."
"Hmm?" Rhyme tilted her head to the side before placing her hand on mine. "Okay?"
HNNNGGG! Nursery Rhyme used Cuteness (EX). It's Super Effective! Player is Charmed!
-Ahem-
Pushing all these thoughts aside, I dived deep into myself. I beckoned an orb of power, and molded it into the power I desire. A connection to my energy pool, and a copy of my Illusion Ability.
I searched for the connection between my king piece and the queen in Rhyme. It was hard to find, but after a few moments of intense searching, I found it. Then, I pushed the molded orb of power onto the connection.
I opened my eyes to see the shocked look on my Queen's face.
"C-Chris, what did you do?"
"I just gave you some of my power."
"Wow..." With a wave of her hand a Raven appeared which flew around us, occasionally saying "Nevermore!"
Letting go of my Queen's soft hand, I turned to Justeaze who was watching with interest.
"Now it's your turn. Give me your hand."
Justeaze put down her cup of tea before placing her hand in mine. I dived once more deep into myself and called for another orb of power.
A connection to my energy pool, regeneration, a copy of my Umbrakinesis (Shadow Manipulation), enhancement of her current abilities, and the ability to turn off her sense of pain. Then, I pushed the power to my connection with her bishop piece.
With these, my peerage just got a massive power boost.
----------------------------------------
When it's time once more to leave, I ended up leaving my two new peerage members for various reasons.
One, they are still acclimating to their new powers. I am a firm believer that one must know how to use a gun first before buying one. It is why I spent over two years just to train up my abilities.
Two, they are still learning about their new roles and responsibilities as my peerage members. As part of the peerage from High Nobility, it would be no good if they did a faux pass even by accident.
So I asked my father for tutors.
I can still remember the sweet tears of Justeaze~
Lastly, it makes it easier for me to move freely in the next world.
Remembering my next destination, I couldn't help myself but frown.
Earth Bet. A dying world.
It was a world of superheroes, wherein people with powers fight other people with power with regular people being mooks. A world wherein three (of twenty) unbeatable beast would attack a major City once every three months. Behemoth the Hero Killer. Leviathan the City Killer. Simurgh the Hope Killer.
A world where murderers run amok because the heroes were too powerless to stop it.
A world driven by violence and hostility.
And it's not their fault.
The Entities. Massive Space Whales that moves from civilization to civilization, seeding them with their Shards, the source of powers, push the hosts into conflict, before harvesting them, just to gather data.
And their doing it all to prevent the Entropic Heat Death of the Universe.
Similar to the Incubators, but less cute.
And with the arrival of the Warrior Scion and the Thinker Eden, this dimensional cluster of Earth was doomed to the Cycle.
If not for one traumatized teenage girl. And a fedora wearing woman with the power of 'Lol nope I win'.
Shaking my head, I stepped into the glowing portal. I have already talked to Rhyme and Justeaze.
And then I stepped out in a dark alley.
I have two objectives in this world, Recruit Taylor and Ciara, and copy all the powers.
