*one year since last chapter*

For the revived king yet another year has passed and alot has happened.... Again.

The discovery that spies from the Old Satan faction had been found within the underworld, and were also so close to the Gremory household send a ripple of concern throughout the underworld's top leaders and Nobels.

For if without the assistance of one Akuma Gremory, they feared that an attack on the Gremory family would have taken place, possibly in an attempt to kill of sirzechs which would reduce the Underworld's power and balance, after all Sirzechs may not be the brightest of all leaders. But his power more then qualifies him for said position

Losing him would be a great loss to the devil's as a whole and would probably embolden the old Satan faction to make numerous attacks upon them the weakend and thin out their forces. But during the meeting some nobles try to push to have Akuma as next line for the family, and even tried to give him the position of power as a sort of pseudo Satan.

Serafall, and Sirzechs shot down these idea though, although Akuma was definitely powerful probably the most powerful young devil to have EVER be born. And in the near future he may even become the strongest devil alive, but at the moment in time he's just a 10 year old boy. Sure his eyes of annihilation and overwhelming command of the power of Destruction made him an easy candidate for the next Satan. But his father refused to have his child carry such a burden at this age.

Once that was settled Ajuka Beelzebub wanted to see the area which these supposed spies were located by Akuma, so the king reborn was so happy wasting his valuable time leading this great Satan to wear three piles of Ash laid on the ground.

After all he couldn't have anything too incriminating on him so he came back and well... Took cared of that. Burning the two bodies that were there and you can probably guess why's they're a third pile.

The creator of the evil pieces somehow examined the piles of ashes that were on the ground, and and came to believe in Akuma's story, about how their contractor or contractors silenced them before anything two major could happen.

After this whole fiasco he was put underneath witness protection for at least 3 months as to not have the old Satan faction possibly try to come take him out.

He was surrounded by three devils at any given point of the day unless he was inside of the Gremory house were Grayfia or Sirzechs would be by his side. And oh dear darkness was the king starting to consider actual genocide.

Whenever he was with the three bodyguards or as he calls them babysitters, they would always be blabbering off about how he's supposed to be protected by them. How he's not meant to have such responsibilities. To all of that he just scoffed, too young to be burdened with these kind of responsibilities?! He started this journey with his sisters in his previous life at the damn age of 6! Being betrayed by a person they thought they could trust most, having to run away from they're very home! Having to avoid not being killed by assassins. Eventually finding an ancient ship and repairing said ship, taking said ship and plunging deep into the deaths of their planet's ocean's. Meeting the Leviathan and not listening to it's meaningless warning, discovering the worm gods. Taking in the worm larvae, retaking their entire home world, speaking the worms larvae to their people to make them greater, forging ships to take them off world. Proceeding to genocide race after race, master the art of the sword by killing one another, having their over 100 million year-long campaign against the light!

AND YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT NOT HAVING BURDENING RESPONSIBILITIES, TO HIM! WHEN YOU PROBABLY NEVER EVEN HAD ANYTHING REMOTELY CLOSE TO A BURDENING RESPONSIBILITY!!!

And who are you to say that he couldn't handle such a thing. He could easily handle such responsibilities, the only reason why he doesn't have this is because his damn dad and that annoying childish devil think it's right to decide what's best for him!

Perhaps he should show them the errors of their ways by trying to make a decision meant for him only, simply send in a taken Darkblade and watch them all crumble.

(For any of you that knows what a darkblade is you should know why they could easily solo a Satan.)

But after thinking it through clearly, he just let out an irritated sigh, yes it was frustrating but at this point he couldn't expose himself too fast. After all he still has things he needs to get done before he makes any drastic movements.

Specifically the 15 evil pieces or in this case hive piece he still needs to find candidates for.

So finding candidates is exactly what he was doing, since he was practically going to be under surveillance for the next couple of months, he decided to do some research into some powerful beings he could possibly make his servants or in this case, tributes.

That's when he discovered a book discussing something called heroic spirits, essentially Earth's heroes all throughout time given physical form in order to battle for what was called the holy Grail. When he heard the holy Grail he tried to find what that was but couldn't find any information about it, so deciding to forget that for now he went through the text which described a multitude of different heroes until one caught his eye.

Artoria Pendragon, the king of knights.

The king of knights, pulling out his own Hive knight piece, he wondered if this individual could possibly become his servant. No matter how many times he tries to find any other information about this individual like where they were located, or what area did they rule over he could find nothing about it.

Realizing that he would have to conduct to reconnaissance the king simply sighed.

This was going to be a very annoying weight even for someone of his patients.

*In the present*

Now that you're caught up to speed, and the King was no longer being babysitted by either his parents or the three annoying bodyguards he was scouting throughout the entire underworld searching for anything he could find about this king of knights.

But it seems like anywhere he went he always came up empty, so he decided he would go to every place in the underworld.

And when he meant every place, he met every. single. place.

From The familiar Forest to the great mountain ranges, past the dense canopies of forest all the way to a large field of flowers. The forgotten remnants of the old Lucifer household, every single location was sawed within seconds. As he flew at such speed that it didn't even seem like he existed, traveling thousands of times faster than the speed of light he was able to make every single trip and mapped out the entire underworld in less than 2 minutes.

But even with his Grand adventure he still came up empty, soon an idea came to mind since the book talked about these heroic spirits being from human legend and myth. Perhaps he was looking in the wrong place, he couldn't look in the underworld.

He had to look throughout the human world. But the problem was that he didn't have any idea of how to get there nor were his search would begin. But as for now he needed to just get to the human world.

So he went to a person who's knowledge of magic was very great, he headed to the office of Ajuka Beelzebub.

So taking of through the air his massive Crimson wings were stretched wide as with just one push he shot through the air once more.

Soaring through the skies the clouds we're separated as they dared not get within his way of eyes view. As his hawk like eyes spotted were the Satan resided and went towards his target.

The wind rushed around him forming into a streamline cone, as the wild created a strong whistling sound which to the creatures around the resonance quickly fleed from.

Quickly slowing his acceleration he gently landed on to the walkway towards the front entrance of the massive building.

Taking his time he looked upon the massive building which was before him.

" Well they sure now how to pick an old timely Victorian style like house, although aren't there household members like one of the lowest, why would they need such a massive house?"

Asking a question that would probably never be answered he walked to the doorway and placed this hands upon the door and pushed them open.

Taking a couple of steps within he was meet with a few of the family's servants who jested there arms in the way to get to who he desires to talk to.

So without further to do, he began his walk following the thin traces of his energy signature ad he traversed the halls effortlessly.

But as he walked through the hallways with the sunlight flickering in and out of view from the curtains, there standing infront of him was a teen that the king found ..... Disgusting.

(He's just younger.)

The king with his enhanced sent of smell, smelled something vial coming off of him.

The smell of blood and bodily fluids were very strong, but more towards the his lower reign. Mainly were his reproduction origin was at.

Oryx seeing this scoffed, but this devil walked over to him with a sweet smile, but not even for a second did this reborn king think that this was a smile of friendly jester.

No this was like a fly to the spiders web, the fly flys in thinking that it's safe only to be trapped and immobilize as the spider can have its way with its now helpless victim. So as the devil stood before him Oryx's right hand that was hidden behind his back blazed with a sinister green fire. If he were to unlease this the devil in his path would be a distant memory.

"Hello I've never seen your here, I'm Diodora Astaroth, heir of the Astaroth family."

Oryx looked at him as he snuffed out his flames, "Akuma Gremory, youngest low-ultimate class devil."

"Ow so your the Akuma that everyone talks about, well I won't lie your looks definitely do not go against your reputation. Actually your regulation greatly undermines how intimating it is to be in your presence."

"That's nice of your to say, I bet you flatter ever person you meet like this don't ya."

"Heheh" he rubbed his head chuckling "you caught me, I'm a nice person to those I meet and I love to give some kind words of advice to those who  catch my eyes."

"Yes I bet, exactly those who are your...

Little play things"

Without warning the tone of his voice completely changed as in a flash he appeared and placed a "gentle" hand upon the heirs shoulder.

"You now, it's actually quite sickening even looking at you. That smile of yours, how many Weman have you charmed only to turn them to your playthings?"

"W-w-what are you t-talking about!?" Diodora quivered in fear as the cold crimson eyes of the king shined into his. "I-i haven't done such things!"

"Ow really now then if that's true I would like to give you a piece of advice myself." Moving his mouth towards his ear his breath which was a cold as the harshest winter wind, sent a dreaded shiver down his spin. "You see blood and bodily fluids have quite the strong smell, especially when the bodily fluids of multiple weman are mixed together along with there own and others blood, it makes it quite the disgusting smell really. So listen and listen closely."

Applying more pressure onto his shoulder the heir was forced to his knees as the kings eye changed from crimson to an eerie emerald green.

His hand channeled the power of the deep to attack his soul, forcing him to see horrific sights of his death my his own hands. Eventually when it was all over Diodora fell onto his back as oryx simply looked down disgusted by his groveling acts. Watching his eyes shack with pure and utter fear, his puppies were widened to the upmost state they could as they have there full fear ridden attention to the Taken King.

"I detest weakling, but more so I detest weaklings who think there powerful. You think your strong because you rob Weman of there virginity's? Well if that's the case then your a weak and pathetic fool!"

The heir was slammed with the foot of oryx as his skull slammed upon the ground with ground shattering force.

"Listen I couldn't care less about what you did to those women, but for even a second. If you think I am a fool you can toy with and manipulate to keep your own little fantasy hidden here's a reality check for you you can't. You won't, and if you try let me tell you something if you thought what I did against Riser was brutal. Well I will show you a punishment a hundred times worse. And trust me you'll be begging for the sweet release of death when I'm through with you."

Now finished engraving the fear of God into this sad excuse of a devil, the king with one final push send him back into the ground as he walked away.

And after a while he found the door to Ajuka Beelzebub's office. Or more accurately in this case A lab mixed with an office.

The young devil looked around noticing alot of projects that are under way. But eventually heard footsteps approaching and turned around to see one of the four Great satans he was on power with his father standing there looking at him.

Ajuka Beelzebub. looked at him with a look like he's been expecting him which he was sense his arrival at the household.

"So Akuma what is it that you came all the way here just to ask of me?"

"Well Ajuka I have a question for you."

"That being?"

"How do I get to the human world?"

Ajuka simply looked upon the reborn King with the puzzled expression he simply couldn't make out this kid, when he could for so many others.

This kid was an enigma he was powerful and yet never boasted about it, has such overwhelming influence yet he barely ever uses it. He doesn't care for the affairs of devils even if it were to harm him, which majority of devils will voice their opinions for their own selfish gain.

"Ahaha you know Akuma, your quite the complex one."

"How so?"

"Because seems like everything you do has an ulterior motive behind it." The nanosecond that left the Satan's  mouth oryx looked upon him with narrowed eyes. "I mean if you think about it it almost seems like you were lying to us."

He turned his back on the king, as he faced some of his projects laying his hands upon the table his mouth opened as he spoke. "There was your incident with riser which even up till now we don't know what you did, all that are witness stated was that you activated your eyes of annihilation and then additional magical circle appeared over your eyes and then Riser just exploded. Then there's your mysterious disappearances, you leave for such long periods of time which no one is able to track you from. But most revealing is that when you went on one of these and you ended up discovering three hidden spies from the old Satan factions. When you step back to look at the evidence how was it that you were able to accomplish all this while you're just a kid?"

Well he had his back turn oryx was about to end this, he raised his right hand to face the now turns Satan as Darkness was born into reality creeping along his hand pall blue and white flames which burn with no fuel began to travel along his arm. Having it now fully extended he intended to erase him, before anything could happen.

But the next word that came from his mouth put the king at ease.

"But" he left out of very exhausted sign, "then again the incident with Riser is easily explainable when it comes to your innate clan ability. Power of Destruction is capable of pulling off such a feat even if it was in a small burst, then you're long walks are easily explained by your very nature your antisocial you don't like to be with others. Then the final thing I brought up you discovering the old Satan spies that could honestly just be luck at its finest. You're not a part of the Old satan infection we've done multiple checks on your background, and where you've gone and everything, there's no reason to believe that you're part of them."

Drinking a cup of water which he had he turned back to the king as he smiled, oryx before Ajuka even move the muscle retracted the dark essence canceling his take ability. He's expression did not portray one of worried or nervousness it was his usual blink expression. Which the Satan seeing realized that everything was all right.

"Sorry about that Akuma but I just put you threw a little test to see if you were to show any signs that you've been lying to us. Although I shouldn't be surprised after all you are the son of my best friend and childhood rival. So I would expect him to raise you right. But in theses trying times we can't roll out any possibilities, with the old Satan faction clearly making some big movements on us. But even with that I shouldn't have put you through that you're just a kid so I'm sorry what is it you need again?..... Oh right getting to the human world I can help with that but why do you want to go?"

Oryx just looked at him glad that that was over but still maintaining his cover, he gave a polite smile which was as fake as his sister's lies. "Nothing really it's just that I've experienced so much of the underworld that I wanted to see what the human world was like. I hear all about it in the text in our libraries about these massive cities that they've built with their own hands, even though they can't use magic. I wanted to see how that was possible."

It wasn't a complete lie he's been to many parks with his family and just recently he took a little trip around the entire underworld in less than 2 minutes.

So to the Satan it seemed plausible that a kid who is curiosity would be at its finest considering his point in age would want to experience something like this. So with that he grabbed a piece of paper and engraved upon it a teleportation magical circle which would teleport him to the human world. But as the king went to grab a hold of it he pulled back as he looked at him.

"Look I agree to have you go but only underneath two conditions, number one is that you will tell your father exactly what you have told me, your reasoning and everything. And number two when you go to that world you will have at least three bodyguards following you at all times we can't have the old Satan faction and get their hands on you."

Oryx understood why, but when he brought up the bodyguards again he couldn't help but feel a little bit of rage boil into his being once again.

'here we go again here I thought I got rid of the damn babysitters.'.... "ya ya I'll talk to him."

"Very well then."

He handed him the piece of paper as the King went to walk away but the Satan had other plans, quickly activating a magical circle he sent him directly back to his household. And into his father's office.

"Sorry kid but I'm not letting you get the option of just simply teleporting out of here when you get out of this room. After all if you have your father's blood in you you would have probably done that. Go figure me and Sizch used to do that all the time."

Chuckling to himself he then immersed himself back into his hobby as now with that business done he could finally get done with his assignment.

*With oryx*

After the green haired Satan teleported him to his Father's office he had to discuss with his old man about what happened, and why he has the magical paper.

Eventually after a solid 25 minute long conversation the red-haired devil agreed to have his son be allowed to venture into the human world but with him would be some of his finest guards.

So the three guards responsible for his protection while he was underneath witness protection were resummoned and were back at his side once again, begrudgingly the king activated the magical circle which teleported him out of the underworld and into the human world.

Arriving in a forest he walked through its dark pathways with the sounds of footsteps behind him, eventually after breaking through the dense foliage of plants they were able to see the city they were teleported outside of.

"I wonder what's its name?"

"That's young man is Kuoh Town, it is currently seeing rule over by Yasaka leader of the Youkai faction."

"Interesting, well we best not waste time I have a lot of adventuring I want to do a day."

"Very well good sir" responded the only woman in the group.

*Time skip three and a half hours into the day*

The sun was setting low and as such the four individuals found themselves in a hotel room, bought by the credit card which Akuma had given to him by his father. Who suspected that they may be out for a couple of days so he made the necessary preparations, to allow Akuma to be able to purchase things in the human world.

His three bodyguards were readying for his departure into sleep but without warning they all suddenly began to feel dizzy and they all passed out collapsing into a deep comatose state as the king who stood within the darkness emerged.

"Sorry but I'm only here for one reason and I'm not going to deal with you three while I'm at it."

Opening the window he took off into the sky and disappeared into the cold regions of the night sky, there he began his search flying through every possible place he could think of.

Appearing like a falling star, he flew so fast that nothing could track him and for any humans who saw him zip by they would have assumed that it was just a shooting star.

After his little trip flying around the entire planet's surface he spotted the ancient ruins of what appeared to be a castle.

Descending down into the ruins he began to feel a powerful presence emanate from deeper within the ruins, following that powerful aura he eventually ended up in a massive open room who's walls have withered away thanks to the decay that has settled in through time.

As the king examined he soon noticed a lone figure slumped in a throne who remained what appear to be frozen in time itself.

She was dawned in darkened armor which looked identical to the ancient armor portrayed like portrayed in ancient stories of human knights.

Within her right hand was a finely crafted sword, which had been poisoned by Darkness itself and shaped into something new.

The king who examined the unconscious woman walked towards her and noticed that her magical energy seemed to be still, almost like she was sealed away.

But the more he examined her current state the more he realized that indeed she was actually sealed away, so seeing this the king lifted up his hands and with one simple clap sent a shockwave from the center of his connected palms through the entire ruins shaking everything violently causing the already weakened ruins to collapse.

As dust was kicked up oryx noticed two glowing golden eyes stare at him from the dust, and upon it disappearing they're standing in front of him was the king of knights herself.

Artoria Pendragon.
