After finishing my spar with Hela, we went to have another study session as I was teaching her magic. Fortunately, she was catching on relatively fast, as I didn't have a lot of patience.
Her roots as Vanir helped her master magic rather fast, fortunately...

Several days later
Currently, I am preparing to take my trip to Japan, more precisely to the Takamagahara. As this would be a more formal visit, I was taking Grayfia with me, as she is my Lucifuge, and this time I didn't need to sneak into the territory of the Shinto Pantheon.
"Grayfia, have you compiled all reports about the situation in Japan?"
I asked my fianceé as she stood before me while I was sitting and going through some papers.
"Yes, here they are."
She as she gave me a small stack of papers.
In past decades Yahweh has been trying to expand his influence in Asia. Regarding China, he didn't dare go there due to Jade Emperor's power as Celestial Court was stronger than Heaven many times.
Not talking about human cultivators Jade Emperor created. It was rather interesting information I found out from Zekram. Apparently, before the Celestial Court came into existence, there didn't exist anything like cultivators in Draconic Deus. In Astral Boundary, you can find some, but not in the true sense.
But after Jade Emperor appeared several centuries later, the first human cultivators started popping here and there; even though their limit was only Ultimate-Class, they were tremendous in numbers. And this gave me an idea... Jade Emperor himself wasn't a person from Draconic Deus or maybe even Astral Boundary. There was a high possibility he was someone from a different Universe than me.
When I thought about it, I often thought about my home Universe. Truth be told, I wanted to return and look at what happened there and how much time had passed. There should be a lot of precious things to take with me. If possible, rob technology from Aeldari and explore something called Tomb Worlds; I have heard from Aeldari myths.
"How is the situation in Japan currently?"
I asked Grayfia.
"From latest reports, Heaven has sent there a contingent of Angels and several dozens of Exorcists as they are losing foothold there. Vassals of Shinto, namely Youkai, Five Principal Clan, and Samurai and Ninja Clans, have started pushing them back and killing every single of their faith they could find. Forces of Church and Heaven are fighting back, but they are severely outnumbered, be it in quantity or quality, as they are concentrating most of their forces in Europe."
Said Grayfia.
Japan collectively had a powerful supernatural faction, just it lacked Mighty Stage God, but in all other regards, it was strong. Shinto was the collective name given to the Takagahamara, Youkai Clans, Five Principal Clans, and other warrior clans.
Five Principal Clans were long lines of humans that worshiped Shinto Gods and were protected by Five Divine Beasts. At the same time, warrior clans were lines of humans that used martial arts combined with the usage of Magic or Chakra; many of them were ancient Samurai Lines and Shinobi Lines.

Though from a supernatural point of view, these humans could maximally reach peak High-Class, and only scarce exceptions could reach Ultimate-Class.
"Hmm... so the wars of pawns are coming to an end there. He probably won't enter Japan, as it could spell doom for him, but he could send Archangels, something which is not realistic, as there is no real gain."
I muttered.
Yahweh won't personally go to Japan to fight with Shinto Gods, as that could easily get him killed due to some trap or something. Japan has been under the rule of Shinto Gods for millennia; they have an entire place wrapped in countless wards and formations, from which the strongest could kill even someone like him.
And he won't send Archangels due to tension between Heaven, Grigori, and Devils. On top of that, the human forces of the Church are getting harassed every day in Europe. Apparently, my and Zekram's schemes have worked perfectly.
Even some devils started harassing them, and I leaked some information about the location of members of Clans Leviathan, Beelzebub, and Asmodeus to Grigori and Heaven that were on Earth... they could do the dirty work for me.
"If we find them, we shall kill them. We will fulfill two goals at the same time. Weaken the plans of Heaven and obtain good graces from Shinto before negotiating with them. Also, how is your current strength, Grayfia after taking God Corpse Potion?"
I commented as I asked Grayfia.
"I was able to strengthen my body to the Ultimate-Class, and I feel that my Demonic Energy Reserves are expanding at a faster speed; within a decade or two, I should reach Satan-Class with ease."
Said Grayfia proudly. It would be good if she managed to achieve that before the Great War. I should help her by giving her some resources and access to special rituals I have used on myself to speed up the process.
"Also... I didn't thank you for the potion."
She said quietly as she stood in front of me, and like thunder from the clear sky, she kissed me all of a sudden.
At first, I was surprised, but then I returned her kiss with equal passion. Apparently, she must have found that I had slept with Venelana, and while Grayfia was good at masking it, she was very competitive. Especially when the competitor was another young heiress with a similar background as hers, so she could not admit defeat.
After several minutes we separated, with the only trace of saliva between us.
"..."
I stared at her for several seconds before kissing her once more. It was weird, but it was different than Venelana. When I kissed Grayfia, I felt like I was whole; it was due to her being Lucifuge and me being Lucifer.
It was in our genetics that we would be attracted to each other.
