Ren sat in his room, his anticipation growing with each passing moment. He eagerly awaited Sera's arrival, glancing at the clock and realizing that only a few minutes had elapsed, although it felt like an eternity. To occupy himself, he pulled out his state-of-the-art 2155 gaming phone and immersed himself in a challenging game. Just as he was engrossed in a particularly difficult level, he sensed Sera's energy signature drawing nearer. Quickly pausing his game, Ren stood up and prepared to greet her.
Sera entered the room with a radiant smile, her warmth filling the space. "Ready to go, Ren? By the way, why are you dressed so casually?"
Ren shrugged nonchalantly. "We're just meeting your friends, not attending a formal event or meeting. Casual attire is perfectly fine."
As they made their way to Sera's office, Ren couldn't help but feel a subtle sense of superiority. He knew he possessed greater power and intelligence than most individuals he encountered, despite his younger age. It was a fact that he took pride in.
Upon arrival, Ren was introduced to two other devils: Sirzechs Lucifer and Ajuka Beelzebub. Sirzechs boasted a crown of crimson hair, while Ajuka sported luscious green locks. Although both were in their early twenties, their expressions held an air of seriousness.
"Oh, Sera, you've brought him along," Sirzechs remarked, his voice tinged with surprise.
"Zechs-chan, Aju-chan, this is Ren Nakamura, my boyfriend. Despite his youth, Ren possesses remarkable maturity and exceptional strength. I'm sure you're aware that he surpasses me in power," Sera introduced Ren to the other devils.
Ren could sense a trace of skepticism in Sirzechs and Ajuka's gazes, prompting him to reaffirm his strength. "And allow me to introduce Sirzechs Lucifer, the current strongest 'pure-blooded' devil, distinguished by his striking crimson hair. And beside him is Ajuka Beelzebub, renowned for his immense intellect and groundbreaking discoveries. Ajuka is also the brilliant mind behind the creation of the
"Hmm, upon closer inspection, I can see that Sirzechs may no longer hold the title of the strongest devil. However, as you mentioned, Sera, he remains the strongest among the pure-blooded devils," Ajuka commented, his gaze analytical as he assessed Ren's mana reserves.
Ren smirked confidently. "That's because I draw power from the very fabric of the world itself. My mana reserves are continuously replenished every second. It's a unique magic I obtained after a momentous journey."
Intrigued by Ren's magical abilities, Ajuka and Ren engaged in lengthy discussions about theories and concepts. Ren shared some of his magic with Ajuka, demonstrating how it could be used to distribute magic power among others.
As time passed, Sirzechs grew weary of the conversation and proposed a friendly spar with Ren. "I'm not usually one for battles, but the piles of paperwork have been wearing me down. And if what I've heard from Ajuka and Sera is true, we can engage in a free bout, correct?"
Ren nodded, and with a snap of his fingers, they were transported to a different dimension—a planet forged from an incredibly resilient element capable of withstanding their clash. Ren couldn't contain his excitement as he prepared to engage in combat with one of the mightiest devils to ever exist.
Utilizing his unique
Sirzechs. "Are you prepared, Sirzechs? Once this begins, there's no turning back. It's been a while since I've had a worthy opponent."
Sirzechs enveloped himself in his formidable
As Sirzechs launched a powerful punch, Ren adeptly evaded it, employing his devil lightning magic to attract and harness the positive particles within Sirzechs' destruction magic. With a swift strike, Ren diminished the energy of the destruction magic by half, leaving only the residual negative energy. Sirzechs, taken aback, struggled to control his magic, ultimately reverting to his normal form.
"Engaging solely in an energy-based battle has grown monotonous," Ren declared as he activated his <1st True Magic>, dissipating Sirzechs' energy entirely. Sirzechs lunged at Ren with incredible speed, but Ren deftly evaded the majority of his attacks, retaliating with precise strikes. In the final moments, Ren infused his hands with Haki, delivering a devastating blow to Sirzechs' chest, inflicting internal damage and sending him hurtling toward the planet's surface.
With the battle concluded, Ren dispelled his
"No need to worry. Sirzechs is a Super-Devil, so he'll recover. Besides, I'll heal him right away," Ren assured her as he employed his <3rd-Heaven's Feel> to restore Sirzechs' well-being. They returned to the underworld, where Ren reunited with Garyfia, whom Sera had previously introduced. After spending a few hours together, they bid each other farewell and Ren headed home.
Over the course of the next three weeks, Ren continued to meet with Ajuka and Sera on Sundays and Thursdays, forging a deep bond of friendship between them.
