In the territory of the Phenex clan, Riser, Ravel, Lord Phenex, and Mrs. Phenex were talking in the grand hall of their palace when they felt a powerful presence.
The ground trembled slightly, causing the liquid in the glasses on the table between them to ripple. Riser narrowed his eyes and looked in a specific direction before sighing with some concern.
"That... that should be Itachi Uchiha," Riser's voice sounded a bit timid, he clenched his teeth and bit his lower lip while falling silent, Lady Phenex, for her part, looked in the direction of Itachi's territory.
The expression on Lady and Lord Phenex's faces was a sight to behold, they were both utterly stunned, almost unable to believe the powerful aura emanating from that place.
"Father..." Ravel was about to say something but couldn't find the words to express her emotions at that moment, she simply shook her head while looking at Riser, various emotions reflected in her eyes.
"This power should be equal to or perhaps even slightly greater than Lord Ajuka's, it's astonishing..." Lord Phenex finally spoke, he stood up and then vanished from the grand hall.
In the sky above the castle, Lord Phenex's body reappeared after an intense flare, "A special demon, Huh?" he murmured, fully aware of what that meant.
In the territory of the Bael clan.
Here, Lord Bael and Sairaorg Bael were having a small discussion, they were talking about the new clan that would be formed when they felt the ground vibrate slightly.
Both of them, standing in the courtyard of their grand castle, turned their heads in the direction from which the powerful aura originated.
"..." Lord Bael fell silent, his eyes narrowed while his body seemed to vibrate with slight excitement.
"Father," Sairaorg chuckled under his breath, "It seems Lord Uchiha has finally arrived, Should we pay him a visit?" he grinned deliberately, his muscles cracked, his bones vibrated, and his very body was telling him to fight this Itachi Uchiha.
"Hmph..." But Lord Bael simply shook his head, looked at his reckless son, and sighed with a touch of disappointment. "You're a damn berserker, boy, you need to learn to control your emotions if you want to inherit the clan... For now, we will simply observe what Lord Uchiha does."
Lord Bael's clear order made Sairaorg sigh in disappointment, he gave one last look in the direction of the Uchiha clan's territory before shaking his head.
Several demons not far from the Uchiha clan felt Itachi's powerful aura. They quickly spread the word, and in no time, the entire Underworld would know that the leader of the Uchiha clan had arrived.
In the Uchiha clan's castle.
"My Lord, you has arrived," Mr. Butler quickly stood up when he felt Itachi's aura completely vanish. He stood tall, eyes wide open, and wore a nearly crazed smile on his face.
"Hehehe, Lord Uchiha is so..." Mr. Butler couldn't help but blush, his middle-aged face turning a rosy shade as he continued smiling, "He's so beautiful."
"Lord Uchiha!!"
"Lord Uchiha!!"
The forty mid-ranked demons quickly bowed before Itachi, many of them clearly thrilled. After all, the more powerful a clan leader is, the better the future for the clan.
Of course, Itachi simply raised his right hand, "Everyone, stand up, my name is Itachi Uchiha, I am the leader of the Uchiha Clan and the rightful owner of these lands from now on..."
Itachi made his introduction, the demons were amazed, in fact, the ninja didn't need to say anything, his sheer strength was enough to make the demons feel ecstatic.
After a brief exchange of words with Mr. Butler, Itachi was led to a grand office, elegant and beautifully decorated, where he decided to spend the afternoon. Asia, of course, always walked behind him.
"Now that I'm here, many high-ranking demons will come to talk..." Itachi murmured quietly, he had already learned everything about the Underworld through Rias Gremory, "However, the most important issue remains Orochimaru..."
Itachi said, then looked at Asia, who was sitting on a sofa not far from him. He smiled, pulled out a book titled THE ORIGIN OF THINGS from the bookshelf, and placed it on his desk.
"At first, I thought the reason you could use chakra was simply because you are naturally human, but..." Itachi said, his voice obviously directed at the petite Asia nearby.
The girl lifted her head slightly, observing Itachi with her beautiful eyes, "It may be that you humans and the supernatural beings of this world do not naturally possess chakra nodes," Itachi concluded, he opened THE ORIGIN OF THINGS, which had Ajuka Beelzebub listed as its author on the cover, and began to read.
Asia narrowed her eyes, looking at Itachi from her sofa, she felt a bit uncomfortable and bit her lower lip while staring downward.
"Itachi..." Asia was about to speak when the ninja simply shook his head, "Orochimaru is quite unusual, his behavior has changed since the last time I saw him..." he murmured, continuing to flip through the book.
"The theory of creation, the almighty God, Christianity, the struggle of the dragons..." Itachi read so fast that one might think he was flipping through the book like a machine.
Asia narrowed her eyes further, got up from the sofa, walked over to Itachi with curiosity, and saw the pages turning rapidly, "I see..." she said before smiling and stepping a little closer to the ninja.
"The wormhole theory, Huh?" Itachi finally said after finishing the book in under a minute, he sighed with a hint of resignation, turned around, and raised a hand to gently pat Asia's head.
knock knock
Before Itachi could grab another book to start reading, there was a knock at the office door, he looked up, deactivated the Sharingan, and calmly said, "Enter."
The one who appeared at the door was none other than Mr. Butler. He gave a slight bow before opening his mouth, "Lord Itachi, I apologize for disturbing you... Lord Sirzechs has come to visit, he is in the main hall, waiting for you..."
Itachi nodded at Mr. Butler's words, "There are many books here with interesting theories about the world, I recommend the author Ajuka Beelzebub, read a bit, I'll be back soon," he said while patting Asia's head a little more affectionately.
"Hmph..." Asia hugged Itachi tightly once before letting go. And after leaving the room, Itachi gave orders to attend to Asia's needs and then headed down to the main hall.
...
Sirzechs was quite calm; one could even say there was an expression of extreme satisfaction on his face.
"Hmph..." Sirzechs murmured softly, humming a small tune as he sat on a sofa, sipping some wine and watching several mid-ranked demons work throughout the castle.
