--I can only sit back and watch everything I believed in come crashing down like a fucking sandcastle!

Hyoudou Souji; No, the physical incarnation of Jhoam Hanzo was laughing and crying as his Touki and aura grew bigger and bigger, revealing a part of his powers.

--(Middle class, lower class, upper class... Upper class! Souji is almost a Maou)

Serafall Leviathan felt like beads of sweat on her forehead and her back was drenched but she couldn't turn back not when her Imotou was counting on her.

--So-so I'm going to move to the Underworld hold on tight~* Levia-Teleport~*!

Serafall moved the entire floor of the penhouse to a small valley in a forgotten place of Sitri territory.

--So this is the underworld?

Said the young man observing the red sky with spiral lines worthy of a work of art by a certain self-mutilated painter.

--Levia-Tan~*! Miracle~*Heart~*Beam~*!

A bolt of demonic energy the size of a freight train struck the young lunatic.

--Is that all you have Maou Leviathan?

The young man pronounced simply, his clothes had been burned, revealing a sculpted torso with some scars that only added to his body's attractiveness.

I guess now it's my turn...

The youth raised his right arm and the hideous Touki and bloody black aura pooled on his index finger and using his thumb as a scope, like a finger gun…he shot with an indifferent smile.

*BANG*

After just a hollow sound, a reddish black line penetrated and pierced the Maou's body in a blink of an eye.

Thanks to her years of experience, Serafall managed to dodge at the last minute, so she only received the shot to her shoulder, only a superficial blow and nothing to stop her from continuing.

--Ught... (Where the hell did So-tan get this monster from?)

--Ha hahahaha~ So this is the power of the Abyss... too bad this force can't fulfill my wish... that incompetent stupid Biblical god only knows how to screw people with his stupid toys... hahahahahaha ... Well I might, yes, yes, that's a good idea... yes... NO!, if I do that... YES! Maybe then there is an OPPORTUNITY?!

The young man's blue eyes shone with a new light, an insane glow even greater than the terrifying emptiness from before, the agent of the outer abyss had devised a plan in the midst of his depression and madness, causing his aura to rise one more.

--JHOAM STOP!

A nostalgic voice reached the ears of the young man who stopped short and turned his gaze to where his beloved's voice came from.

--NATASHA!

The chaos stopped, the aura of death and madness disappeared without a trace and the young man ran to meet what in his eyes was his beloved.

Serafall saw how her spell and curse took effect with a certain delay, her younger sister was in front of the young man who was hesitating whether to touch her or not, fearing to hurt her by accident, filling her with an affection and love incongruous to her previous display of violence and indifference.

She had placed a curse that would cause a powerful hallucination that would fool all of the young man's senses, it was impossible to stop the young man's collapse since he was linked to his Sacred Gear but putting a pair of reins or rather bridles on the beast was possible and the taming her would already depend on her own luck, now every time her psyche enters an unstable state, the image of her beloved wife would be projected onto Sona's image, Serafall herself was surprised when she saw the resemblance that the young man's lover had with her herself, which caused her to have some mixed feelings about the plan but, nothing came of crying over spilled milk.

The illusion would force the young man into a state of calm and happiness induced by his love for his wife before sending him into a deep sleep, even as a self-proclaimed Maou and Magical Girl who fights for love and justice, she felt horribly disgusted by what she had seen. just did.

--I must find a better way to help Souji-kun... this is too cruel... for both of us.

Serafall saw how her sister bit her lips while the young man tenderly caressed her hair and apologized for the illusion of his wife, it was a tender and painful scene, luckily or unfortunately the curse fulfilled its objective and the young man fell unconscious to the ground. A few seconds, before he could touch the ground, hundreds of dark blue chains sprouted from the ground and seized the young man who returned to his original state.

--Looks like everything went well. Nee-sama...

--So-so... I don't approve of this, I'm sure neither Mother nor Father will approve... well maybe father but mother will never approve that you have used this horrible method to manage your servant... I'll look for one way to cure Souji-kun and you must do the same, I am Serafall Levia-Tan The Maou Shojo who fights for Love and Justice... I don't want to do this again EVER!

Serafall roared as she looked at her sister reproachfully, something that she herself, not even in her wildest dreams, would have expected, but here she was now seeing her sister who was sadly looking at her once again unconscious tower.

--I know Nee-sama, now that I see this I regret my actions...

--IT'S TOO LATE SO-TAN!

Shouted Serafall making her younger sister shrink but she had to be strict this time, so she put her jocularity aside and spoke seriously, first putting up a small dome for her privacy.

--Sona, Souji is absurdly dangerous, he's almost as strong as me or Falbuin's bald guy when he's not sleeping, I don't know what or what his Sacred Gear is but one thing is for sure...

--...

Sona was silent, waiting for her sister to continue.

--It is very ancient and powerful, older than the dragon emperors and perhaps contemporary with the ancient Maous or perhaps before them.

--Pre-dating the ancient Maous...But...that would just be...a...?!

--Primal Titan or something much worse... and I think Souji-kun is in the second option.

Serafall's eyes were serious, there was no more magical girl, only the Maou who bears the name of the monster Leviathan remained.

--He commented several times about the "Abyss", you must be able to connect the dots So-tan... What is before the Titans and is it related to the abyss?

Sona thought for a few minutes before turning pale as she remembered the general appearance of the few skills and abilities that took the forms of aquatic or underwater creatures.

--HP Lovecraf... The Gods of Outer Abyss...

--Correct.

--Weren't they just a writer's raving?

--They existed or at least that's what some very, very old records of the main Maou houses say.

--So...what "Madness" said was true...

Sona muttered to herself as she felt the weight on her shoulders increase horribly and her guilt didn't help her at all.

--So-so...I'll talk about this with Sir-chan and Ajuka-chan...they're smarter than me...maybe there to wake up bald and make him use that shiny head of his to think what to do with Souji-kun, I'm sorry but you'll have to stay in the underworld for a few days this is too important.

--I understand Nee-sama...I have been reckless and selfish...I must pay the price for my mistakes...

--Of course you will, young lady, you have to take responsibility for this child, you made me hurt him more than he already was and we woke up something that shouldn't have woken up, you don't know how much, HOW MUCH you screwed up, So-tan but don't worry, Your Onee-sama will take care of everything, now take your peerage and go to the house, come on, come on, I have to calm down Sir-chan and convince Ajuka-chan to help.

End of Flashback

***

Underworld – Sitri Territory.

"Sorry...Souji..."

The heiress of the Sitri house apologized for the umpteenth time while watching over the sleep of her servant, this was the punishment that her mother gave her after learning about the incident that her daughter had caused, Lady Sitri together with Lord Sitri could understand the causes but neither both approved of the methods used.

Sona Sitri's punishment, ensuring safety and accompanying her Tower at all times during her stay in the underworld, as well as committing through an "Oath" not to abandon the young man, the two would be chained (figuratively) to each other to the other, until a better solution was found.

It is worth mentioning that this punishment was only achieved after the intervention of Lord Sitri since Lady Sitri was thinking of directly marrying her daughter to the young Tower in the midst of her anger and discontent.

Sona Sitri accepted his punishment, since now she was in a sense the wife of this young man.

In the hours and near sunset of the third day, the young man's eyelids trembled and slowly opened, Sona next to him put down the book she was reading and approached the black-haired man.

--Souji are you alright?

The black-haired man slowly opened his eyes, finding Sona's anguished face very close to him.

Sona on her side was full of worry since her Tower's black eyes like bottomless pits had turned into a pair of aquamarine gems, two electric blue irises that shone slightly, that and that her tower's gaze was wandering. all over the room.

--Where I am?

The young man asked as he looked directly into Sona's purple eyes.

--You're in the Underworld Souji...

--Underworld?

--Yes... Do you remember anything that happened?

--... Remember?

The black-haired man bowed his head, making the girl's face pale as her guilt slowly suffocated her.

--Souji, tell me this is a joke?

The girl asked with her voice and hands shaking. To which the black-haired man just frowned and shook his head.

--Souji? My name is Jhoam... Jhoam Hanzo, it's good to see you again Natasha~

The young man pronounced, giving the terrified demon a warm smile.
