Diablo further explains to alex and kazuki "Those 23 billon universes contain infinite knowledge and power as well, it's why people have energy to wield those powers. In those universes, there is a being that is responsible for giving people the powers they wield. That being is known as the reaper of gifts." Alex and kazuki were abit confused, alex states "The reaper of.... what? Sounds like something that came of from a mythology.", kazuki says "You know at this point I'm just not surprised anymore. How many things are there that we don't know?", diablo turns his head to them with his red glowing eyes and a serious expression "Alot! There are countless things you don't know. To keep it blunt, I'm just summarising everything.", this even makes alex and kazuki even more confused and shocked. Diablo folds his arms and continues "That reaper of gifts grants people the ability to wield supernatural abilities, but for people to use them, they need energy. Energy is basically a supernatural phenomenon that exists in every living being, its the thing that let's people use special abilities and let's people interact with spiritual forces. Some people are not born with special abilities, but yet have energy flowing in their bodies in order to learn how to use them, most are born with special abilities, while some are not born with neither special abilities, nor energy." Alex immediately thinks of kinto, he monologues "Just like kinto. Now that I think of it, he couldnt wield energy nor did he have any powers. But how is he able to use that explosive mark that appears on his arm?", diablo further explains "Although those kind of people don't have special abilities or the ability to wield energy, they have some inhuman features to make up for it. For instance your friend kinto, he never had any ounce of energy in the slightest, but yet he had intelligence. That intelligence gives him the ability to pick things up extremely fast. He also has high physical strenght and speed in replacement of energy, its why he is able to do things a person can only do with energy. For instance, climbing walls, being able to dodge things that move faster than sound." Alex then asks "Okay that makes sense, but what of the mark on his hand? You know, the red mark that appears once he's in battle. If he cant wield powers, why does he have that?" Diablo explains to alex "Well I told you the reaper of gifts gives people special abilities before they are born, but did you know that you can summon the reaper?", this leaves alex and kazuki stunned. Diablo with a smirk on his face explains "Tho you would need a special scroll to summon it, but you would also need to perform a ritual. The ritual involves the person using some hand signs and reciting some incarnations while standing under a magical circle, this procedure summons the reaper. But if you get even one word of the recitation wrong or even one step of the hand signs wrong.... the reaper will kill you on the spot!". Alex and kazuki were actually terrorised after hearing this "The hell! You don't mean it.", says alex, kazuki says "Hard core. I cant believe you're smiling while saying stuff like this diablo." Diablo with his smirk responds "Huh, what do you mean? I'm only saying the truth. It's called a reaper for a reason. Although I'm guessing kinto's dad *Kito Kusekabe* was the one who performed the ritual on kinto. Kito was known as a solider with the knowledge of a thousand techniques, he was also known as the soulless solider. He was a menace among menaces, he could kill a thousand soliders In a flash. He was also on A-rank tho, but he's retired now. The person who is casting the ritual, be it on himself or on another person, would be given an ability that suits their inner evil." Kazuki monologues to himself "That makes sense, kinto specialises In weapons of mass destruction, like bombs. That explains the mark, although I thought it was some kind of wierd spirit mark that possessed to much energy." Meanwhile Alex was picturing kinto with a crazy smile, bombing and blowing things up "One can also assume he's a serial bomber. I hope he doesn't tweak out one day and blows us all up." Kazuki then asks "Looks like we're done here, well it's nice that you told us all these things", diablo says "I'm not done yet, there's still one more thing I have to explain." Alex and kazuki were about to leave before they heard what diablo said. Diablo says "Aside from the gods and the concept of infinite knowledge and stuff, there were also things known as celestial beasts. They were created as pet's for bansha, at the same time they had their own uses for their existence, except one. It was known as cerepharot, the embodiment of pure calamity. You think zodia was calamity? Wait till you hear what this guy can do." Alex and kazuki were abit concerned, the thought of "A calamity beyond zodia? What's he talking about?"circulated in their minds. Diablo goes ahead to enlighten them "Cerepharot was the first celestial beast bansha created, along with the king of doom which was the dragon king. It was basically a giant dragon with hands and legs and two giant wings. It's major role was to keep the universes bansha created in check, but it was created after cerepharot had caused a great calamity. Out of the 23 billon that were created, cerepharot swallowed three billion of them. Yes, the universes that contained infinite power and knowledge were swallowed by that thing. It was so devastating that bansha was shocked! He couldn't believe his own creation could have done that. So he sealed it away in another dimension, he also took out most of its powers.", shenragon who was also listening to diablo's lecture to the boys seemed abit uneasy "Telling them such information? What are you doing diablo?!". Diablo yawns and says "Well that's all boys, I have nothing to tell you again." Kazuki then asks "By the way diablo, ukina said something about the reality sealer being a space were nothing is allowed to exist, not even time. So how were you able to create universes and move in a timeless dimension even while being there?", diablo is stunned with a funny smile "Really? You really want me to answer that question? I thought you'd understand by now?". Diablo just lets out a sigh "Well being the reincarnate of the god that created everything allows me to defy all sort of logic. The reality sealer was created by bansha so that if any of the high tier gods reincarnated or any powerfull threat were to cause harm to the world, they would get sealed into it. It was also created so that the next reincarnation of bansha would not perform harm. But i already explained I defy logic, and I could controll the concept of everything." Alex and kazuki were already annoyed, they said to themselves"You could have unsealed yourself anytime you wanted but decided to goof around?!" Alex then asks "How many universes did you make while being there?". "Oh me? Well I created about 110,000,000,000 universes, it also included hyperspaces, but that was out of boredom. You know its funny coz upon all the universes, beings and gods in creation, non of them hold more than 5 percent of bansha's powers", diablo exclaims too showcase his power. Alex and kazuki are flabbergasted "This man..... he's power itself!", they exclaim. Diablo then stands up with a cheerfull smile "Now as your sensei, I have a final test for you both. Are you two ready?"
