Chapter 255: Meeting gone wrong (I)

Despite having the power to create magic circles, God shoved Asahi in a white train, which he claimed could travel between different dimensions. The four people could easily fit in one compartment, leaving the rest empty.

"It's a legal meeting. We must follow the procedure," God said and strode toward the engine.

The devils also used a similar procedure whenever reincarnated devils entered the Underworld for the first time. But it was in the 21st century. Asahi couldn't comprehend how God invented the train before the humans!

Gabriel and Sandalphon sat opposite to Asahi, talked to Chiaki, or rather mumbled to themselves as the fairy still couldn't talk.

The train moved without a single squeak. God returned and joined Asahi.

"Is this a political talk?" Asahi asked.

"It is. I couldn't attend it without my successor."

Asahi nodded, wishing Grayfia was there with him. She was the future empress of the Underworld. Her relationship with the future lord of Heaven triggered the Devil Kings. Asahi couldn't care less about them as the Devil Kings were all fated to die by him or someone else.

(I can still teleport her, my love,) Klyscha said.

'Aww. You're the best. Tell her to dress up nicely for our debut.'

(I will.)

"Father's successor?"

"Lord?"

Gabriel and Sandalphon couldn't contain their shock. God had never told them anything about Asahi. Then again, they lacked the courage to question God, their creator.

God peered out of the train. "I'm not suited or strong enough to lead now. Asahi will be the leader of Heaven in the future."

Gabriel glared at Asahi with her cheeks puffed. "Why did you hide?"

Asahi shrugged. "I didn't want to step between a father and daughter."

Sandalphon raised her hand. "How should I address you in the future?"

"No need to be formal. We're friends," Asahi said with a wink. "Aren't we?"

Sandalphon's eyes glittered with unbridled joy. Although Asahi was a human, she had more fun talking to him than any other angel. He was strong on top of that. She still couldn't muster the courage to ask him for training. Becoming stronger would immensely contribute to Heaven, her home.

God shook his head. He hadn't thought of both Sandalphon and Gabriel taking an interest in Asahi. Well, he could always let them both marry him. The more ties he had in Heaven, the less likely he'd leave when some crisis befell on Heaven.

"You two are responsible for escorting Asahi and his safety."

This will bring them closer, and keep any devil or fallen angel women away. Asahi having Lucifuge Clan's heiress was enough.

Asahi gave God a blank stare. "Do you think I need protection?"

He had Gae Bolg. The spear of sure death could kill the long-living devils with ease. Currently, Asahi had no way of testing whether Gae Bolg will work on the pinnacle of the devil race, Super Devil. He could never trust how an anime world's logic worked.

Rizevim Livan Lucifer, the future grandfather of Vali Lucifer, was also one of them.

"I shall guard him with everything."

"Me too~."

Sandalphon was in super serious mode while Gabriel had a goofy grin as she poked at poor Chiaki.

The train stopped and everyone went out. The platform was shrouded in a faint mist. A black-haired man stood there, with his devil wings on display. His eyes carried unconcealed hostility toward the Seraphs. He scanned their figures without bothering to hide the lust. Showing two stark emotions was perhaps the talent of the devil race, Asahi mused, remembering Grayfia's fluctuations between shy maiden and seductive during sex.

"Guide us," God ordered.

The devil sneered and turned around. "Follow me."

The trip was going to be problematic.

"My Lord, you called for me?"

Grayfia appeared in her usual maid outfit.

Asahi frowned. "Didn't Klyscha tell you to dress up?"

"I wanted to… show father that I am Asahi's maid."

She hoped this could stop Lucifuge Clan from looking for any trouble with Asahi. Of course, she'd support Asahi if a fight broke out. Still, a conflict between her family and her future husband will break her heart.

"Fine," Asahi sighed and grabbed her hand. "Let's go."

Gabriel trailed Grayfia's back with her gaze. Sandalphon had told her about Grayfia's relationship with Asahi. Gabriel couldn't help but think how lucky Grayfia was for having someone who could give warm headpats at request. She pursed her lips in a pout. Asahi was always stingy with his headpats when it came to her.

"Lady Gabriel." Sandalphon gently nudged Gabriel's arm. "We must follow them."

"I know."

The devil took them to the tallest building located in the center of Lucifaad City. When he finally turned around to throw some more curses, Grayfia's piercing red eyes bore holes in him. His arrogance melted, so did the strength in his legs. New visitors from the fallen angel faction distracted Grayfia, allowing the devil to escape.

"Gabriel, my dear sister. We meet again."

The one trying to flirt with Gabriel was a tall man wearing a maroon long coat with two belts around his waist. His quirky black hair and golden bangs combo gave away his identity to Asahi.

Azazel, the leader of fallen angels.
