With all of the ingredients he wanted gathered, most of his preparations were complete. With Sairaorg and Magdaran handling the politics of the Bael Clan, he could allow himself to enter seclusion like his friend, Ancestor Deming of the Corpse Ghost Sect.
His lovers were a little annoyed as they were so used to him always being ready to spend time with them, but with him locking himself away in his room with Kharn, Grimaldus, Mephiston, and Azi Dahaka, they simply took the time to relax.
They expected Romonus to be out soon, but they were wrong as for over a month he had not come out of his room. This was the longest they had gone without seeing him so they were starting to worry.
All of them gathered outside the door as they were considering going inside to make sure he was ok. Rias looked at the door before looking around at the rest of her fellow harem sisters.
"I will do it."
She began to knock on it gently.
"Brother, are y-"
Before she finished speaking Romonus opened the door. Kharn was on his shoulder while Grimaldus was in his arms on his back. He seemed to be fine, his hair was combed, his beard trimmed a bit, if anything he seemed quite relaxed.
"Am I ok? Yeah, I am fine. Come in all of you."
Romonus turned around and walked back into his room before sitting back at his desk where Azi was sitting. The dragon was in his small form holding a piece of paper as he and Romonus had been working on a ritual.
The rest of his lovers all walked inside and began to look around wondering if something sinister was going on.
Valerie squinted her eyes as she looked at his soul wondering if he had done something risky. What she saw was that it was stable as usual and if anything seemed to be excited.
"Romonus, why is your soul like that?"
"I am just happy."
Venelana walked behind him and leaned over to rest her breasts on his head. Almost getting squished, Kharn hissed at her before jumping away. Venelana glared at her son's favorite familiar because even now that thing was still an asshole.
"Son, why did you lock yourself away for a month? I was worried you were going crazy like your Father."
He smiled as he began to pet Azi who closed his eyes. Azi didn't mind it because as much as he wouldn't admit it, being treated like this was better than being treated like a slave.
"I was working on some custom rituals using all of my knowledge. I have not been training and learning this entire time for nothing. I want to make this work to the best of my ability. To answer your question about what is up with my soul, I have merely used a few rituals to enhance the modifications you did me, Valerie."
Venelana got off him before she turned to the rest of the girls who were letting her speak to him.
"So, did you accomplish what you wanted?"
Romonus stood up from his desk causing Azi to jump onto his shoulder. With Kharn now up in his tree, he took the free shoulder.
"It is complete, though why are you all acting too weird? I am the one who locked myself up for a month in self-study. You girls seem to be acting weird."
Latia shrugged as she didn't hide they were like this.
"You went a month without fucking one of us. We found that weird."
Serafall nodded.
"She is right, normally you fuck several or all of us every day. So we are kinda pent up and wondering how you were doing. We were also hoping to make up for the month."
Romonus snorted.
"I can go a day without having sex, though from the looks of it, you girls couldn't."
Azi who was on his shoulder sighed.
"I will leave, come on crazy badgers and bird, let us leave these-"
Seekvaira shot a dirty look at the Evil Dragon.
"We aren't going to pounce on him now you moron."
Azi rolled his 6 eyes before flying off Romonus' shoulder.
"Sure, and I was not made to kill gods."
Romonus snorted.
"I am not having sex today."
"Tsk."
Hearing that he glanced over at Shirone, Kuroka, and Walburga. The three cat girls from the look of things were especially annoyed at the state of things. Romonus smirked as they would just have to wait.
"Trust me, you will want to have a clear head for this."
Miria sat on the bed with a small smile.
"A clear head? A little sex would help for that don't you think?"
Romonus opened his mouth to deny it, but the cute eyes each of them was giving him made him sigh. He was going to ask Azi to leave alongside his pets, but from the look of it, the four of them were already making their way out. Azi even slammed the door behind him.
Silvana walked up to him and grabbed his hand.
"Come on, you got a lot to make up for."
Vespera grabbed his arm with a grin showing her fangs.
"She is right, you left me hungry for that entire time. How could you?"
Romonus' right eye began to twitch as he reached out and grabbed Vespera and Silvana by their shoulders. With ease, he tossed them onto the bed as he removed his large trench coat.
He hung it on the wall before waving his hand and with telekinesis forcing each of his lovers onto the bed. By the time they realized what happened, they were suddenly feeling a little nervous.
"Get ready for a Long Session of Dual Cultivation, courtesy of my Cultivator friends."
He lunged onto the bed before pouncing on Latia. After activating the different formations, the next 24 hours he not only pleased his harem but even managed to make them all stronger through the art of Dual Cultivation.
---
When the session ended, Romonus after a quick shower got dressed once more. Normally, he would be far more attentive to their needs, but he didn't have the time right now. He glanced at the bed where his lovers all laid down panting in exhaustion.
Every one of them felt like puddy after the rough pounding he gave them. He smiled as he walked to the bed before kissing each one.
"I will see you all later."
As he walked toward the door of his room, Archaon formed around him encasing him in armor. He was asleep the whole time, and he just woke up when Romonus called for him.
'Armored, we are ready.'
Ruin Maker for once, calmed its murderous desire.
'Right.'
The Curse Shield though was still a swirling sea of murder and rage, but it felt focused.
"I know. Azi, Kharn, Grimaldus, Mephiston. We are leaving."
Using the Familiar Contracts he shared with the Four Creatures, he teleported them and himself to the Moon. In a flash of purple, the five of them appeared on the desolate rock of the Moon.
When they did so, none of them were affected by the lack of air or the exposure to the void. Grimaldus was not a creature of flesh, Azi Dahaka was a Dragon that could live off his mana. Kharn and Mephiston had drank potions made from Romonus' Demonic Blood so the vacuum was a nonissue.
However, once they appeared on the moon, Azi Dahaka returned to his full size of 80 meters. He looked down at the Moon looking at its Leylines.
"Yup, mana is flowing down there. Compared to Earth, it is thin, but it doesn't matter right?"
Romonus nodded.
"Correct, the Moon was once part of the earth before it separated in an asteroid impact. So it is expected that the Leylines would be similar to the ones on Earth, though the lack of life has made them weak. They don't have to be strong, just stable."
Azi tilted one of his heads.
"Alright, are you ready?"
Romonus snorted as he opened his left hand drawing out the True Longinus. He glanced at the corrupted spear before smiling at it.
"I must say, it was fun while it lasted. Though I already found a replacement, I will just have to forge it. Let's begin."
Azi nodded as he raised his arms into the air before he began to gather vast quantities of mana from his natural reserves. The amount of mana he was gathering was so vast that if he released it, he could wipe out all of America.
He shoved his arms down underground into the Leyline Romonus teleported them onto. It was the largest and most powerful one on the Moon. Azi began to surge a tidal wave of mana into the Leyline which began to rapidly circulate through the moon.
While Azi prepared the Leylines, Romonus began to prepare the ingredients. From his Spatial Ring, he gathered several corpses. Katerea Leviathan, Shalba Beelzebub, Creuserey Asmodeus, Rizevim Lucifer, Hades and Lilith.
However, when he brought out the Six bodies, it was obvious that they were just corpses. When he had received them, he had removed their souls, or in the case of Rizevim received the soul from Akeno who had to catch it after Viviana ripped his head off. Once he had these six Corpses he swung Ruin Maker several times carving a gigantic hexagram, an eight-pointed star.
From the slashes, a dense Demonic aura began to be released. He waved his hand causing the dix corpses to be placed on around the hexagram. That was just the first part of the ritual circle so he spun around and onto the lunar surface, he began to carve gigantic runes carved in Enuncia that covered the entire moon.
"There we are."
The Corpses were just one ingredient as at his feet he had several more. One was the purified stone made from 15 Billion human souls. All of the souls that had ever gone to the domain of Hades in this small thing. He had several more stones, one made from the refined blood of the Principle Clan members he had slaughtered.
The others were the souls of Katarea, Shalba, Creusery, Hades, and Lilith. With Telekinesis, he placed these seven items in the giant ritual circle.
"Almost done, Azi how is it looking."
Azi Dahaka was still surging mana into the Leylines causing the entire moon to begin to glow like it never had before.
"Give me more time."
"You have time, I still have more work to do."
He picked up two more items from the ground, a small golden shard of the original Grail and a large Shroud. The shroud was 14 feet long and depicted the image of Jesus Christ. It radiated pure divinity showing why it was one of the ingredients in his ascension. He placed these two directly around him since he was standing in the middle of the gigantic ritual circle.
Romonus began to walk around placing the last ingredients which he was pulling out of his soul.
"The Incinerate Anthem, The Cross."
From his head, a cross made of Demonic and Divine Flames manifested which he placed into the circle. The next gear was the Alphecca Tyrant, the Nails which much like the rest of the items were severely tainted by his Demonic Energy.
"Finally, the last Holy Relic, The True Longinus."
He raised the formerly Holy Spear in front of him before he walked back to the center of his ritual circle. He stabbed the spear in front of him before holding onto the handle.
'Our journey ends here, God.'
From the spear, a quite pained voice spoke to him.
'Release me, do not do this. It is not too late.'
'Oh, but it is. I should thank you for this, my ascension is all because you are dead.'
Before starting the ritual, Romonus began to list off the ingredients to check if he had forgotten something.
'The bodies and souls of Katarea, Shalba, Creusery, Hades, and Lilith. The True Longinus, Incinerate Anthem, Alphecca Tyrant, Shroud of Turin, 15 Billion human souls, divine blood of Japan. And me, the true last ingredient.'
When he opened his eyes he smiled as his helmet pulled back to expose his face.
"And this."
He opened his right hand and a small vial with a drop of blood. The only drop of blood of Jesus the Vatican still had. He closed his eyes as he waited for Azi Dahaka to finish.
He didn't know how long this would take, but just as he was going to wait he felt a powerful aura manifest next to him. When he opened his eyes he saw an old man. He was huge, around 7'5, wearing a tight black jacket.
He had a thick white beard, slicked-back hair, black sunglasses, and a cigar in his mouth. Romonus didn't recognize him at first, but after a longer look, he knew who it was.
"Ophis."
(Image Here)
With a grin, the Dragon God took a puff of his cigar.
"The one and only. Wondering why I am not a little girl anymore?"
Romonus didn't care why. A shapeshifter Dragon God could take any form he wished.
"No, just impressed. I greet you, Dragon God of Infinity."
Just as Romonus was going to ask what was going on, above his head a giant Dragon Gate opened. Kharn, Grimaldus, and Mephiston glanced up in wonder as the titanic form of Great Red left the dimensional gap.
Romonus had a theory on why the Dragon Gods were here, but before he could ask, Great Red in a massive flash enough to match stars vanished. In 'his' place was a smirking woman with bright red hair, eyes, and matching Ophis in height
Romonus shook his head.
"Ok, why did you two switch genders?"
Great Red began to cackle as she walked over.
"That is the thing, both of us as Dragon Gods do this occasionally. I rarely take a human form in the first place, but I occasionally like to look pleasant. What is more pleasant than a beautiful woman."
Ophis puffed on his cigar with a smirk.
"And I am quite partial to male forms, the last form I had was fun, but I didn't get attached to it. As to why we are here, it is to make sure you succeed."
Great Red rubbed her neck.
"I know what happens if you fail, I don't want to die so having one more ally like you would give us a fighting chance. There is also Trihexa, but that crazy thing will be more trouble than help."
Azi Dahaka pulled his arms out of the ground with a sigh.
"So, this was for nothing?"
Great Red shook her head.
"No, it was helpful. Now, stand back."
Drawing on the power of her Concept of Dreams, she began to surge vast quantities of Divine Energy. As a Dragon God, the divine energy of Great Red was beyond pure in Concept Form. As for Ophis, he raised his hands and started to move the planets into alignment.
Since they were working together, there would be no consequences as they dragged each planet into perfect alignment. Romonus waited patiently as the two strongest beings of this world aside from Trihexa helped him.
The setup took only a few moments as all the planets in the solar system aligned in a perfect line. Ophis turned to him and grinned.
"You can start."
Great Red stopped what she was doing as the entire moon was glowing with bright red glowing veins surging through it. Taking the cue, Romonus surged his Demonic Mana into the magic circle under his feet.
The entire circle began to surge as a tidal wave of Demonic Energy surged from Romonus. The two Dragon Gods watched and waited as he began his ritual in Enuncia.
'The offerings are gathered for the Demon God of Destruction.'
From his words alone a wave of reality-distorting power surged through the moon. It gathered the Divine Energy of Great Red flowing through the Leylines, and even the pure energy of the sun.
All of that began to flow through the ritual circle and the many gathered materials. The core of the ritual was of course the True Longinus and Romonus. With the materials already gathered he continued.
'I break the laws of gods, I take the power of the dead God. I rob, pillage, and take from his carcass.'
With the next line, the Holy Relics began to crumble around him starting with the Incenerate Anthem. Its Divine and Demonic Energies were refined together before surging into Romonus' body. With it, the vast power of the Leylines and sun was drawn into his body.
Already he could feel his Demonic Mana begin to burn as it began to be purified. His Demonic Blood began to boil while his Cambione soul started to tremble. His entire body was racked with pain, but he ignored it.
'The Heavens will be shuddered, the sky shall bleed and crumble under my name.'
The Alphecca Tyrant, then crumbled apart and just like Incinerate Anthem surged into his body. The Shard of the Grail also burst as it was drawn into his body alongside the energy of the Nails.
This reacted with Valerie's enhancements causing them to grow even stronger. Even the shroud burst into flames before its energy entered his body causing him to feel like an ocean of divine, demonic energy flowing through him.
The living cape of Archaon began to flutter like a living being as he continued the ritual under the watchful eyes of Great Red and Ophis.
'I offer the corpses of my lessers.'
The bodies he gathered, Hades, Lilith, Katarea, Rizevim, Creusery, and Shalba all burst apart as they flowed over before being infused with solar, Demonic, and Divine Energy in one. When they entered his body his Sparda bloodline devoured all of it as his blood began to vaporize in his veins.
Around his body a dark purple mist as his blood began to escape from his pores.
'I offer the souls of these sacrifices.'
This one was the biggest as the souls of 15 Billion humans, Hades, Lilith, and the 4 descendants burned together before he started to absorb all of it. Just a million souls was a massive amount, but 15 Billion was an astronomical number.
When the soul essence of 15 billion humans was burned up in his ritual, the Enuncia ritual circle and Great Red's Divine Energy removed all grievances. This caused all of this pure soul energy be drawn into his Cambione soul.
'Childsplay in 40k though.'
With a grin, he opened his eyes as he looked up almost finished.
'I offer, divine blood and the will of God.'
The last two ingredients the bloodstone, and the True Longinus began to burst apart. This time, the Will of God inside didn't struggle because it could not any longer. The formerly bright will was snuffed out as it was devoured by Romonus alongside the bloodstone of Divine Blood.
Once every one of the sacrifices was given, Romonus no longer had the True Longinus. When he opened his eyes, they were no longer purple, they were pitch-black pits as he took a deep breath.
Inside his body, his Demon blood surged with nearly limitless power as it began to purify itself. His soul absorbed the power from the Will of God, drained the power of 15 Billion Souls, the Divine Soul of Hades, of the Four Satan Descendents all converged in his body.
Using the divine energy flowing through the Moon as a Catalyst, Romonus' Demonic Mana began to warp. Romonus' instinctively turned into his Devil Trigger and when he did so, power began to gather at his Demon Heart.
Kharn, Grimaldus, Mephiston, and Azi Dahaka watched in awe as the ascension began. With all of the sacrifices, his Demonic Energy began to ascend as it was converted into Divine Energy.
However, it was not normal Divine Energy as it was completely alien to any god even Evil Gods. Infernal Divinity was flowing through his body, soul, Heart, and Pathways. His Cambione soul ignited as it absorbed all of the energy from the souls he had sacrificed.
The Will of God and the energy of the Holy Relics were lost in the mixture as his soul began to reform. The Soul of a Demon God Surging with Infernal Energy. Romonus' form began to crack as even now he was still absorbing all of the energy in the Leylines.
His Demon Blood which was quite Chimeric, began to fully devour all the other bloodlines in it. There was no place for them any longer, but their abilities were not lost. Once his Sparda Bloodline was all that remained, the Clan Abilities of the Four Satans were awakened which he would use in his future battles.
For the next hour, he continued to draw in Solar Energy and Divine Energy until the Leylines were empty. Ophis and Great Red watched with interest as Romonus' Titanic Demon Form stayed still.
Archaon, Ruin Maker, and the Cursed Shield seemed strangely silent as the transformation was undergoing. Suddenly, both Dragon Gods erected a barrier around Romonu as a supernova of Infernal energy exploded out from it.
It was so much that the entire solar system and more would have been vaporized. They were about to worry, but all that energy that was released was drawn back in. When it cleared up Ophis and Great Red saw Romonus.
He was in his human form, but he was not saying anything. He was looking down as Archaon his armor began to warp around him. A pressure that matched the Dragon Gods in purity radiated from him as Romonus's domains began to form.
First was the core of his divinity, the plundered Divinity of God. Omnipotence, but as it was plundered and stolen he still had others that were his own. He expected to have only Four, but he was plenty surprised.
'5, 6 is I count God's.'
When he opened his eyes, they were back to their purple, but almost black. In the middle of them was an Eight Pointed Star as he thought of his Domains. He was honestly
'Void, Destruction, Magic, Battle, and Death.'
When he thought of his Domains, they made sense to him. His Gravity Magic an aspect of Space Magic evolved to its highest state, Void Magic. Destruction represented his Power of Destruction. Magic was because of his vast knowledge of magic from all his learning.
The battle represented him always fighting head-on, while Death was from not only his Necromancy but the fact this was his second life and he absorbed Hades. At the core of these Five Domains was Omnipotence which elevated his understanding of them.
With a grin, from his body, an infernal aura of a Demon God began to radiate. Great Red smiled with pride at him.
"So Romonus, what will you call yourself."
"I am Romonus, The Demon God. The Divine Demon."
As he spoke, reality itself accepted his answer as his divinity was acknowledged. Ophis dragged on his cigar before smiling. He released the planets from their alignment before turning around.
"Romonus, take some time to stabilize yourself. When you are ready, meet us again to speak of them. If you want, see if you can't tame our wayward sister, Trihexa. Oh, and get yourself a new weapon, you lost your spear."
With that, Ophis teleported away as he had a bakery to get to. As for Great Red, she walked toward him and patted him on the back. Though, now they were around the same height which he could change.
"Congratulations on reaching our level. With you, we stand a chance against them."
Once she said her peace, Great Red in front of him changed forms into her true Dragon Form. With a spin, she returned to the Dimensional Gap. As for Romonus, he sat down cross-legged and he began to do so as they said.
His ascension was complete, he just had to stabilize and get used to his new 'godly' state.
