Soon, we arrived with Hela at Yasaka’s Palace, where Rias and Yasaka were already waiting for us; probably, Rias thought I would come, so she went to wait for me there.
“Your Imperial Majesties.”
Bowed Yasaka as she welcomed Hela and me.
“You don’t need to bow; we are basically family.”
I said as Yasaka had a weird expression on her face, but in the end, we all entered inside her palace, where we sat around a tea table as I started brewing tea for us.
“Rias escaped captives back to the Execution Temple and interrogated them. If some of them decide to surrender, then give them Blood and Soul Void-Geass; if not, then send them for forceful extraction of the Sacred Gears. However, you know whom you need to kill from them. Also, notify all Imperials operating on Earth to retreat back to the Baator.”
I have ordered.
It was already time.
I have already got information about where Rizevim was hiding and will deal with him, and soon the End Protocol will destroy all enemies that would be able to endanger the process of tearing down the Dimensional Gap.
“Please, here is the tea.”
I presented tea to Yasaka and Hela while also pouring a cup for myself.
“It tastes great.”
Complimented Yasaka my tea.
“Now, why are we here. First thing, Yasaka, your faction has one week for evacuation to leave for the Empire. Soldiers of the Imperialis Militarum, Commissariat and civil officials of the Magisterium of Domestic Affairs and Territorial Development will coordinate and help with everything.”
I have said, as Yasaka nodded, as they were now citizens of the Empire and needed to relocate to the Empire as soon as possible.
“Now, the second thing. The situation between you and our son Sigmar.”
I have said, as Yasaka became serious one more and Hela had a sour expression on her face. Yasaka started explaining her story to both of us as I listened with an indifferent expression. Still, Hela looked like she would explode at any second.
Contrary to Hela, Sigmar had a problem controlling his bloodlust. Even though his time with Lord General Behemoth benefited him greatly, many of his unsavory personality traits still remained. Because of that, Yasaka was very reluctant to let him raise their daughter Kunou.
Hela made a remarkable journey from the time I met her, and she could perfectly reign in her battle lust and bloodthirsty nature if needed, as she had learned it over time. After she gave birth to Sigmar, I was genuinely surprised by how gently she could be.
“Don’t worry, my daughter-in-law; after we arrive back home and that unfilial son returns, you will see how I will deal with him.”
Said Hela as she consoled Yasaka, who was on the verge of tears because it must have been hard on her.
“How do you want to introduce Kunou to all of this?”
I asked as I was a bit worried about my granddaughter. She was younger than Abrasax, so I didn’t want to make this situation difficult for her or to cause her some kind of trauma.
“Slowly… after mother-in-law talks with Sigmar, I will talk with him about all of this so she can have some time to adjust herself to the situation.”
Said Yasaka as I nodded in agreement.
“I will send a contingent of the Custodians to serve as your permanent protectors as you are hereby members of the Imperial House with your daughter.”
After we talked more with Yasaka, I decided to return to the Baator, as I had a mission to complete, which was to hunt for my uncle Rizevim Livan Lucifer after his location was found. Hela remained behind to spend some time with her daughter-in-law and observe her granddaughter.
Yasaka didn’t want to introduce them right now, but Hela insisted that she wanted to meet her, so in the end, Yasaka gave up and let Hela meet Kunou.

Baator, Chthonian Empire, Imperial Capital of Anor Londo
After I returned back home, the first thing I needed to deal with was Vali, who was trying to force himself to participate in the mission of killing Rizevim, though I was greatly reluctant to let him in.
The simple reason for that.
Trihexa.
Rizevim was probably trying to release Trihexa, which was problematic by itself, and truth to be told, I didn’t want for my adoptive son to be caught in my with Trihexa where even pinnacle Super Devil Class powerhouses may perish like flies.
I was taking only Diablo and Sirzechs with me, as they were strong enough, as Sirtzechs has undergone Law Baptism with Law of Destruction, and he would soon reach Apocalypse-Class. Law Comprehension was an arduous path, and if not for Zekram becoming Apocalypse-Class by comprehending Law of Destruction, Sirzechs and Vena would have a much harder time comprehending Laws.
Comprehending Laws without outside help was a hassle and took too much time; if one was lucky, if unlucky, then one may spend comprehending Laws for centuries and even millennia and comprehend nothing.
“You have reached Super Devil Class… hmm… if you can dispose of one of my stronger attacks, you may participate in the mission.”
I said as I threw at him Forbidden-Tier Spell that would be able to kill weaker Mighty Stage God with ease. It was a lightning spell, Bararaq Saiqa.
To my shock, Vali at first divided the Spell’s power and then used the energy to reflect the Spell, successfully blocking one of my stronger attacks, which was an outstanding achievement on its own.
“Hmm… you may go, but you will listen to everything Diablo says, okey?”
I said as Vali nodded in agreement.
I then left and went to meet with Diablo to discuss our strategy for capturing Rizevim. While that guy was weaker than us considerably, he was slippery as a snake, even more than Kokabiel. So it was good to be prepared appropriately.
