"Crom Cruach? You have come into contact with that madman?"

Asked Lucifer with an apparent distaste for Crom Cruach.

"In Familiar Forest, before I went to the Planar Conquest,"

I answered truthfully.

"So he went to Tiamat... he should have already then reached Heavenly Dragon Class."

Muttered Lucifer.

I was surprised to hear that; he should have sensed the fight between Crom Cruach and Tiamat. If Crom Cruach really has reached Heavenly Dragon Class, then it was for the best, as I would have another powerful combatant on my side.

Additionally, as Heavenly Dragon, he would have the best chance to create a dragon faction and bring it to join my nation in the future. Together with Tiamat, and Tannin, I could get probably 60% of all Dragons in Draconic Deus to join my future nation, expanding my power a tremendous amount.

"Show me your Dark Light."

Said Lucifer in a bit commanding voice, as he wanted to see the Dark Light I inherited with his own eyes.

I did as he instructed and condensed a ball of concentrated Dark Light with my new technique, the Truth-Seeking Orb Style. He observed it calmly before I dispersed the orb of Dark Light with a wave of my hand.

"Very good, you can be considered a true member of the Lucifer Clan and bear the name of Lucifer. I will announce to the Underworld that we have another inheritor of the Dark Light."

Said Lucifer proudly, and while I wanted to refute it, I rather chose to remain silent. Announcing something like this is plainly stupid and idiotic. Now our enemies would know that another bearer of the Dark Light has appeared and would come for my head.

In truth, I doubt any Archangel-Class would come for me, as they were on the same level as Super Devils in terms of Energy Reserves. I would be dead for sure, but as long as Lucifer is alive, no Archangel from Heaven or Grigori would dare to attack Underworld before the Great War.

Still, that didn't mean some Cadre-Class Angels or Fallen wouldn't come.

Persuading Lucifer to conceal it was meaningless. He was as arrogant as he was stupid. Probably this was also the reason why mother escaped from home. And now, I would become a living target. I needed to become Satan-Class as soon as possible. Then it won't be much of a problem to deal with assassins and other enemies on the same level as me if they decide to come for me before the Great War starts due to the Dark Light.

"Here, take this."

Said Lucifer as he threw another crystal at me.

"That is a Memory Crystal that can record a person's memories and experiences. I had recorded some of my experiences and training of the Dark Light; it should help you substantially to increase your mastery over the Dark Light."

I looked at the Memory Crystal in wonder and immediately crushed the crystal as I felt a huge amount of memories enter my head; all of them were related to the usage and mastery of the Dark Light Clan Trait of the Lucifer Clan.

After it stopped, I felt that I had attained Master-ranked Mastery over the Dark Light, and my control over it exponentially increased. Now I could fully open the Gate of Babylon, create Dark Light objects with minimal consumption or create more Truth-Seeking Orbs with it.

Overall my combat prowess could be considered as the top of all Ultimate-Class entities, even in the Astral Boundary as a whole, if I raise my reserves a bit.

"Excellent; based on your current control, you should have attained mastery of the Dark Light, right?"

He asked, to which I nodded in agreement.

"Well done. Additionally, do not forget to tell you, after you reach Satan-Class, come to the Lucifaad. You will go with Rizevim to perform some mission for the Devil Race."

He said seriously.

"What missions?"

I asked curiously as I wondered what needed to have two Satan-Class members of the Lucifer Clan to deal with, one with Sacred Gear Canceler and one with Dark Light Trait.

"You will go and hunt some rogue Sacred Gears user or some affiliated with Church. They are a threat, and during the Great War, some Sacred Gears, whose location is known to us, need to be dealt with as they are dangerous. Additionally, while we have obtained the assistance of other Pantheons and Factions, aside from Pale Blood, it won't be good if they obtain Sacred Gears."

Said Lucifer seriously.

This sounded logical. While Zekram obtained the support of Olympus, Pale Blood, and Werewolves, I would obtain the support of Takagahamara; Lucifer didn't wish any of these factions to obtain Sacred Gears for their faction aside from Pale Blood, as they weren't interested in power plays in Draconic Deus and wanted to return to the Astral Boundary.

"What about Sacred Gears themselves?"

I asked seriously.

"If possible, bring them to Underworld for study; if not, seal them in hidden locations."

"Can I keep Incinerate Anthem if possible?"

I asked.

"You want to fuse with Sacred Gear? Are you aware of side effects?"

Asked Lucifer with a serious tone.

"Not now, as I am perfectly aware of the dangers, but Incinerate Anthem is perfectly suited for me due to Dark Light, and I always wanted to have the flame-related ability. On top of that, I will just study it and see... fusing with Sacred Gears currently is too dangerous due to him."

I answered casually.

"Then it is good. Also, there is another matter why I have summoned you to the Lucifaad."

Said Lucifer with a weird smile.

"As for every Lucifer needs to have a Lucifuge."

He said shortly afterward.

'So I was right... I would probably get engaged to Grayfia now. This is good; she is the most powerful Lucifuge and has the potential to reach Satan-Class within the next decade, not to mention the fact she is a very good administrator and combatant.'

I thought in my head.
