"I request Lord-Bael to speak a few words," asked the host and Zekram nodded.
"My dear Devil Brothers and Sisters, I am honoured to have this once in a lifetime opportunity. We are making history here. Reincarnation of Humans into Devils has become a daily occurrence after the invention of the Evil Piece System by our beloved Satan Beelzebub. But this is a revolution.
To not completely change a Human but give them the powers of Devils is a historic feat to achieve and I'm so proud that our race got this rare opportunity to witness such a moment. I thank you all for attending and helping in making this transition a peaceful and happy one. I also thank Mr Naruto for agreeing to this" said Zekram and the magic circle disappeared from his mouth. All the Devils failed to think about why their Great King is thanking a Human for this. Naruto raised an eyebrow.
'Did he just compliment me?' Thought the blonde boy.
"Looks like it. Seems like the Old goat is up to something" said Kurama. Talking for the first time since the ceremony has started.
"Hmm, do you think he caught up to the warning I gave him?" said Naruto. Kurama smirked at that as Naruto appeared in front of him in his mindscape. When Jiraiya was doing his show in the Elder Council, Naruto entered Zekram's Bael mind and gave him a warning.
A warning he knew the Great King would take seriously. By the looks of it, it is true. He wanted something from him and Zekram started his play by complimenting and thanking him in front of all the Devils. This is definitely an elaborate scheme that the old Bael lord has come up with.
"Whatever that old bat is up to, if he takes necessary measures and prevents any of his faction Devils from joining Khaos Brigade, it would be good for him," said Kurama casually.
"That is true. I am not going to show pity on them if it comes to that" said Naruto and this time Kurama's smirk became more feral.
"That's it. This is the entertainment I'm waiting for. What are you gonna say to that crow?" asked Kurama, talking about Azazel.
"Do you think he is gonna ask me?"
"Why won't he?"
"Come on, Kurama. I'm making peace in a way here" said Naruto in a bored tone. The proverbial light bulb blew in Kurama's mind.
"Oh. So that's it. You came here to tell him your progress. How do you think those 2 little bats taking this"
"I think it's going to be amusing to watch their reaction. No. We'll deal with it tomorrow. I'm sure there will be lots of questions waiting for me" said Naruto and Kurama nodded.
"Are you ok, Naruto?" Asked Kurama in concern. He knew how much Naruto grew, he can't hold back when someone dear to him leaves him.
"I'll be, my fox friend," said Naruto and disappeared from his mindscape.
On the stage, everyone were congratulating Jiraiya and Naruto for this successful endeavour of them as Humans. And a successful experiment for the Devils.
Ajuka was going through the report given to him from the King piece about the progress from the chip he planted in it, he is trying to monitor it and check for any inconsistencies or defects but found none. Sirzechs came and stood beside Ajuka.
"Is everything ok, Sirzechs?" Asked Ajuka. From the moment Ajuka told him about Naruto, Sirzechs was on edge as if he is going to be attacked by someone. Sirzechs sighed.
"I don't know, Ajuka. That blonde boy is not everything that meets the eye. He is different and I'm not talking about his Sacred Gear"
"What do you mean by that? You have been in a Dragon's presence before, didn't you?" Asked Ajuka confused.
"Yes, I've been. But I am not sure I have been in the presence of the Shadow Dragon"
"Do you think he is a threat to us?" Asked a concerned Ajuka. He also experienced the weight of Skiadrum with Holy magic in full force. But he didn't think much of it as Sacred Gears give large amounts of Magic when awakened and the amount of power depends on the power of its wielder and the soul or power sealed in them. As a Sacred Gear that holds both Light and Shadow elements, the power it released is expected.
"The fact is, I don't know. I can't get a good read on him. He is like this blank area that I can't put my finger on" said Sirzechs.
"Hmm, I think I know why. Zekram-sama told me that the Shadow Dragon has the power to drag anything it touches into the Abyss. Maybe he uses that technique to make his presence blank so that anyone can't attack or remember him" concluded Ajuka.
Credit is to be given to the Genius Satan for his intelligence and deduction skills. To deduct something about an unknown type of Magic is nothing but marvellous.
"Maybe. That might be it. As my magic has a black tint to it, it is reacting to his magic I guess" said a relieved Sirzechs. Suddenly all the weight he felt was gone. He sighed in relief. 'I'm correct then. I'm feeling his passive pressure because of the dark tint in my magic and as I realised it, it was gone' thought a happy Sirzechs.
"Yes. I'll talk to Naruto about it" assured Ajuka. Sirzechs nodded and moved forward.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have arranged a feast in honour of this auspicious occasion. We request Naruto and Jiraiya-sama to attend this with all the respected dignitaries" said the host and Naruto and Jiraiya were escorted to the dining area by a servant.
"This way please," she said and walked them to a large dining area that was set up behind the stadium.
Everyone toasted for Jiraiya and Naruto and the future of the Devils and had their meal.
The items served were made by elite chefs and had every variety of food available in the Human world. It went well.
