"Dammed hell... my head hurts."
I opened my eyes as I cursed everything around as my head hurt more than being kicked by Golden Horden Abyssal King Fiend.
When I looked around, I realized that I wasn't in my room, but in an unfamiliar environment, but I quickly recognized it as Pope's Bedroom... which meant.
"Fuck."
I cursed when I saw naked Bibi Dong sleeping next to me, covered by a blanket.
'Not that my wives would be doing any drama from this, as she is indeed suitable to become my wife, but what happened was due to... either it was an accident or she wanted to seduce me for some other purpose, probably to secure even more support. Though it didn't matter right now... I will deal with it later.'
I thought in my head as I teleported out of the room and appeared far away, near the Universal Gate, where Diablo and Ajuka were already waiting for me.
Right now, I didn't want to deal with this, as I already could predict some embarrassing moments; thus, I have decided to act like a proper coward and just leave. In the end, the situation will resolve itself after the real motive of Bibi Dong's action comes to light.
"Your Imperial Majesty."
Both of them bowed as Custodians present knelt as they greeted me.
"Activate the Universal Gate."
I commanded as several Custodians exceptionally skilled in magic started activating the Universal Gate, as heavy Arcanotech Armored Vehicles lined up here in tens, all loaded full with countless precious resources, be it Astral Stones, precious ores and metals, herbs, and many others that were all collected by my forces and Spirit Hall for me during this period of three years.
Soon enough, the Universal Gate was activated, and I entered, leaving the Shao Universe, though I think that I would return here in the upcoming time soon.

Astral Boundary, Dimensional Gap, Underworld, Baator
When I entered the Underworld from the Universal Gate, I felt two things that happened. The first was that my Demonic Energy Reserves started expanding madly, as those 300 Years that passed here all returned to me at once.
The second was that my True Name was going to be given to me by the Underworld's World Will.
Soon enough, I felt the Will of the Underworld descend upon me as my entire body froze.
Already a very familiar feeling.
'Sythis'
'Sythis'
'Sythis'
Said now familiar creepy voice in my head belonging to the Will of the Underworld, exactly three times as always.
'Sythis - Mental Protection Passive Ability, that makes the mind shield impenetrable by anyone who isn't at least one realm higher than bearer and skilled in mental magic at Forbidden Level.'
That was my true name for the Legendary-Class and now even stronger power was being released by the Underworld's World Will as it was going to grant me my true name for the Apocalypse-Class.

'Archeron'
'Archeron'
'Archeron'
Said now familiar creepy voice in my head belonging to the Will of the Underworld once again, exactly three times as always.
'Archeron - Full Counter, while in the Underworld bearer of this True Name could reflect all magical attacks back at caster with doubles destructive power.'
Now, this was overpowered. While it once again was usable only in the Underworld, it was still OP ability if I could lure my attackers to the Underworld.
What I have noticed is that the majority of abilities of my True Names were effective only when I was physically present in the Underworld.
My theory was that, as my True Names are personally granted by the World Will of the Underworld, they are very strong compared to the Devils who awaken or obtain their True Names on their own, but their strength is directly connected to the strength of the Underworld as a whole.
Even though the Underworld was currently Grade 3 Plane, and based on my observation, it could be even higher, energy density and conditions are worse than in Grade 5 planes and are comparable to only Grade 6.
Reason for that?
Connection with Earth and subsequently with countless Dimensional Pantheon Worlds that are siphoning energy from the Underworld for their own Dimensions.
My solution?
Severe that connection and make Underworld its own Plane without connection to others. That would cause recovery of the Plane to Grade 3 within a few decades, but also cause traveling between Underworld and Earth would become extremely hard, and the entire Underworld will change to a proper Grade 3 Plane, including the suppression.
In Douluo Mortal Realm or even in the Astral Boundary, destructive power, for example of Super Devil which was in the Dimensional Gap around Large Continental to Asteroid Level would be lessened greatly. And only High-Class and above would be able to teleport in such a Plane and many others.
[Demonic Energy Reserves increased by 57 Units.]
While the increase of 57 Units for 300 may seem minimal, in truth, it was an astronomical increase, really benefitting my superior Level 9 Soul Aptitude.
