I remembered about the past.
Flashback:
Today was the day when all three of my wives would give birth. It was six months after my coronation, and I was even more nervous compared to when I led troops in the Great War. It was really stressful that even with the most advanced Arcanotech and Magic, there could still be complications during children’s birth.
Fia and Vena were already Trans-Devil as they were given personalized Trans-Devil Gene-Seed even before they got pregnant, and Hela was given some, just a bit different version but with the same effects.
I stood before the room where they were given birth, as the best doctors and healers were called across the entire Baator, they were even more nervous since, if something happened to my wives and children, then their chances of getting executed were assured.
As I was caught deep in my thoughts, I only heard the voice of a doctor calling to me.
“Your Imperial Majesty, the Empresses, have given birth, and they are okey together with three healthy children. You can go and see them.”
When he said that, I felt like an enormous stone fell from my heart, as I was filled with happiness and excitement, but I didn’t show it outright; as an Emperor and ruler of my people, I needed to maintain calm composure in every situation.
I entered the enormous hospital room, where my three wives were lying on beds, each holding their respective child, and looked at them as if they were the greatest and most precious things in their own lives.
I could see that each of them was tired as hell, and even a warrior like Hela wanted to sleep. Regarding Hela, seeing her looking at her child with such a gentle expression has made me think how much she has changed.
“Come on, dear husband, look at your eldest.”
Said Vena as I went to her and looked at the baby in her hands. It was a healthy baby boy that was looking at me with curious eyes before unconsciously shooting at me a ball of condensed Power and Destruction and a Dark Light Arrow.
Even though they were born on the same day, there were some differences in time; basically, Venelaan’s son was eldest by one minute, followed by Hela’s son, and Fia’s daughter was youngest than her brothers by five minutes.
“Have you decided on a name?”
I asked my wife as I dispersed the attacks. When children were born with high energy reserves and power Clan Traits, they often could not handle them well and would accidentally release them in attacks and other things.
“Yes, he will be Sirzechs, my little baby boy.”
Said Vena gently as she kissed his little head.
“Sirzechs Gremory-Lucifer. A fitting name, for a future unparalleled powerhouse under the heavens.”
I said.
‘Architect scan.’

“…”
I stared at the scan, not knowing what to say.
Sirzechs was born with energy reserves at higher ends, almost a pinnacle of the High-Class, and his physical state was also very high for a newborn. I quickly cast several sealing spells on his Demonic Energy so that he wouldn’t have any accidents, and within one year, the seals would naturally disappear as he would learn to control his Demonic Energy.
Not talking about the Class he was born with, he inherited my two Clan Traits and Vena’s Power of Destruction. When he grows up, he will be unstoppable, though he would need to train harder than others, and the resources he would consume would be equally high.
But if he reached Apocalypse-Class, with enough time, he had a path to Dimensional-Class basically sure.
“I will test his Soul Aptitude.”
As I cast the Soul Aptitude Test Spell, I said that some of my Demonic Energy was inserted into his body and tested his soul signature.
“Hmm… Superior Level 8. That is good.”
With such Soul Aptitude, he will have no problem reaching Dimensional-Class. However, it was lower than mine, Superior Level 9. With such Soul Aptitude, I could have the potential to reach Lord-Class. Of course, there existed countless treasures that could rise Soul Aptitude.
I originally had a Soul Aptitude of only Level 5 at the Inferior Stage, only thanks to my True Name, which gave me Baptism from the Underworld it increased to ridiculous levels.
So when Sirzechs was born already this strong and with this sort of talent, I was really proud.
I then went to Hela’s bed and looked at the baby boy in Hela’s hands that she held and sang him a song in the Asgardian language.
“Sigmar, Sigmar Helason Lucifer.”
Said Hela gently as she looked at her son.
“Heroic name, he will grow to a splendid warrior.”

‘Da f***?’
I cursed in my head.
The second little monster was born, while with lower Energy Reserves than his brother Sirzechs, he was born with far more physical strength, inhering my Dark Light and Hela’s Power of Death. Not only that, he was born with the perfect equilibrium of Demonic Energy and Divine Power; something unthinkable happened.
A little evolutionary miracle.
I cast the Soul Aptitude Test Spell.
“Superior Level 8, once again, splendid.”
I then went to Grayfia, playing with her daughter, as she seemed to be more lively than her brothers.
“Hilda Lucifuge-Lucifer.”
Said Fia gently as little Hilda blinked several times, wondering what was happening. Still, she instinctively knew that I was her father due to a similar energy signature to her own. It was an instinctive feeling.
‘Architect scan.’

And as expected, even my daughter was born with overwhelming strength and the same Soul Aptitude as her brothers. Like Sirzechs, I cast the same seal on her, not letting her Demonic Energy cause a ruckus.
Sigmar didn’t need it, as his two contradictory energies somehow achieved perfect equilibrium.
“The life will find a way.”
