Chapter 130 - Wedding (3)

"Now my lovely wives, if you excuse me I must go and play some games with others here... this opportunity is heaven-sent."

I whispered to Vena and Fia, as they both nodded in understanding, albeit a bit sad, but there was nothing I could do.

As I said before, this wasn't only my wedding, this was a gathering of power, that would probably not be repeated for a very long time. I need to get some allies on my side and mingle with Six Houses of Lucifer, minus House Lucifuge.

Soon enough after searching among the guests I finally found the one I wanted to meet the most.

Lord Zaorama Nebiros, Head of the House Nebiros.

House Nebiros was one of the Six Houses of Lucifer, that specialized in various research such as biology, demonic power, and magic.. They were the ones who invented a lot of new spells for the Tier Magic System. They also had a Branch Family among the 72 Pillars, called House Naberius, that alone talked about their power.

Lord Zaorama Nebiros was a geniue Satan-Class magician, very skilled, but not as much as Lord Pheles, but he had more firepower and might, as Lord Mephisto Pheels only recently entered into the Satan-Class.

He was a well-built man with black hair matching colored eyes, wearing elegant aristocratic attire.

"Young Lord Lucifer, what a pŀėȧsurė to meet someone powerful and talented as yourself, while being so young."

Greeted me Lord Zaorama Nebiros with a cheerful voice. Indeed, while I was young, I was an extremely powerful Satan-Class devil, a genius on his own who invented an entirely new magical system and build bases for the Arcanotech. While the Arcanotech was mainly Architect's achievement, a lot of inventions of the Solar Federation that were being converted to the Arcanotech Mode, were my invention in my past life in the Immaterius Universe.

"I am humbled Lord Zaorama. I had also heard about your great achievements in the research of Demonic Energy, Clan Traits, and your recent fascinating research into the flora of the Underworld and usage of rare plants in Alchemy that could strengthen Demonic Energy Reserves."

I said as we shook hands.

Zaorama Nebiros was one of the best experts on devil physiology.

"Lord Zaorama I have heard that you can be considered as one of the foremost experts on the devil physiology, right? I have a little project that would need the help of someone like you, of course in absolute confidentiality."

I said while seeing the glee in his eyes.

"Of course, House Nebiros is always to service to a Lucifer."

He gave a bow, as a sign of allegiance.

I needed to recruit House Nebiros to work on the Trans-Devil Gene-Seed Project. It needs to be adjusted greatly so it would be compatible with most subjects, as the current state was terrible.

Trans-Devil Gene-Seed Project was heavily custom-styled currently, and that wasn't good. With Zaorama's knowledge and genius, he would be able to adjust the Trans-Devil Gene-Seed Project so it could be used on the wider populace. That one was necessary for the creation of the Custodes and the evolution of devils as a whole.

Of course, I won't include him from the start, but I will observe and test him if he is worthy to join my little inner circle of most trusted servants and subordinates.

"Good, I will visit you at your laboratory at the later day, have a pleasant night Lord Zaorama."

I said to him, as I went to talk with the next person who was already looking at me with a grin.

"Great King, Great King... it has a nice ring to, don't you think so, old man?"

I said to Great King Zekram, as I called him old man, we were essentially family and it was no secret that he favored Venelana too much, and despised her brother who would be future Lord Bael.

Poor kid was scared like shit when he saw me or Zekram.

"Indeed it has, but I am sure, you won't stay with that, right?"

He asked with a grin, not awaiting any kind of answer.

"I will leave that for your imagination. How do you enjoy the reception? See you over there? Crom Cruach is getting really, really annoyed by Tiamat who is trying to sneak out and search for treasures."

"One would have thought, man would become more tamed after being in some kind of romantic relationships, but those two dragons are showing the exact opposite. She even proposed to me, If I helped her to find treasure, I could get 10% of it."

Zekram was pretty amused saying that, while I was nervous. If Crom Cruach didn't control her, she would rob my treasury clean and getting it back from the greedy dragon as she would be a pain in the ȧss.

"Hopefully my treasures would be left where I have put them. Lately, a lot of unrest is in the air, especially with the unfortunate death of several clansmen of three Satan Houses."

I faked my sadness.

"Indeed, we can only hope no more mysterious murders will appear, or the devils would lose many good and competent nobles."

Exclaimed Zekram with sarcasm, as I read between lines.

'Hmm... so the conflict between Baels and the other three have also escalated, so I wasn't the only one who started cleaning our backyard.'

I thought in my head.

It was no secret in the Underworld, that Zekram Bael was long vying for the position of Satan. While he was loyal to Lucifer, the same thing cannot be said about other tree Houses, especially about their incompetent descendants.

And most of them were in this room right now.
