After returning to Castle Fuerig, Vena, Fia, and Hela were already waiting for me. As my flagship, an enormous Emperor-Class Voidship descended from the skies, and I existed down, with tired and yet happy and solemn expression at the same time.
"All are dead."
I said in a simple sentence, as all three of them were surprised hearing that all Four Satans were dead.
"What about him?"
Asked Hela with concern.
"Still alive, but barely. The Law of Chaos corrodes his soul, and without some special treasures that don't exist in the Dimensional Gap, he is good as dead within the next few months. He won't be participating in the Great War; he doesn't have that time. If my guess is current, he is going to spend his last months finishing the Longinuses and some adjustments to Heaven before he passes away."
I stated.
"What now?"
Asked Venelana.
"Nothing. It will take some time before Clan Heads finds out that Four Satans are dead; before that, we do nothing. We will leave the Great War flow naturally, and I will move only before the finale, the crescendo of the war. It will be a great time to dispose of some uncomfortable people during the last battle. I have basically no opposition right now, as descendants are all dead to one, and only Rizevim is alive, but he is not interested in ruling and doesn't have the support I have. Though he is smart; after the war, I think he will use a short period of chaos to escape; he knows that I will try to kill him at any price."
I said as this was the best course of action.
Of course, I had a chance to take power even right now, and it would be easily done, but that would make some things more problematic. If I leave it be as it is right now, I could dispose of several uncomfortable people with ease.
This way, it would be easier to execute some shady movements, as fewer eyes would be on me. Still, I need to send a message to Zekram and my father-in-law Gerstahl that things are getting to move.
Devils are very pragmatic beings if needed. Zekram basically switched sides when he realized that I was a much better alternative than four Satans. I also told him about my new plans for the governmental model, and he approved wholeheartedly.

Gerstahl was a whole different reason. Even if I killed the original Lucifer, it has nothing to do with him, as I just did the right of conquest. More competent and stronger Lucifer replaced the weaker and incompetent one, so he and the rest of the Six Houses of Lucifer wouldn't say anything, as this was an internal matter of the House of Lucifer.
While I wished to kill Rizevim, he was too slippery, and even now, nobody knew where he was hiding. He never participated in the Great War and was god knows where. There were some rumors he had constructed some base on the territory of another pantheon, but nobody knows where and even if it was a truth.
After we talked a bit, I went to my personal training yard and took out the corpse of the Original Lucifer and used Devour Clan Trait to Devour the corpse completely, as I used Devour to absolute limits.
Soon entire course disappeared as it turned into energy, and that was absorbed into me. I didn't only absorb his Demonic Energy, but I absorbed his Clan Trait itself; as it appeared, I can absorb it as I already have it.
Soon enough, I felt that my connection and my usage of the Dark Light has greatly been strengthened, and was being strengthened by a great deal with each passing second until it reached Forbidden-ranked Mastery, and touched the Realm of Laws.
[Aborbing Laws. Calculating. Comprehension of Law of Darklight is at 2,87%]
I heard the voice of the Architect as I sensed Laws being devoured by me. Indeed Lucifer already started comprehending Laws, but that was given, based on how old he was, and he was Super Devil for centuries already.
While I was only a new advanced one, I guess I would start comprehending Laws within the next decade.
The strength of my Dark Light Clan Trait, now that I have started comprehension of the Law of Darklight was tremendous, countless times superior to what it was before.
Clan Traits, the Bloodline was the path to comprehension of Laws, that was sure. Not that I was confined it to, I could try to comprehend other Laws, for example, Law of Fire or Ice, but my progress wouldn't be that fast compared to comprehending Law, which was the origin of my Clan Trait.
My Demonic Energy increased by a few hundred, as the compatibility between Lucifer and me was extremely close, so I had better results Devouring him. Not only that, but I have also increased my mastery over the Devour Grandmaster Rank.
I felt that when I comprehended the Law of Darklight, I wouldn't need to sue my Clan Trait anymore, as I would be directly able to shape the power of Law itself. By then, my Clan Trait would probably be merged with the Law itself, as the Law is the origin of each Clan Trait.
I also had three corpses of other original Satans that would be good experimental subjects. I also needed to extract their Clan Traits and transplant them to someone compatible and worthy. Clan Traits of each of them were powerful and potent, and it would be a shame for them to be lost.
