The Runcandel mansion remained silent to the ear, but a psychic explosion was occurring in the minds of every woman connected to Alexander. As he descended the stairs, his internal monologue began to dismantle the very foundation of their world's power system.
Alexander adjusted his cuffs, his eyes glowing with a faint, violet electric hue from the Gnosis.
Alexander's Inner Voice:
[Internal Thought: Ciel, my synchronization is jumping. With the Gnosis and the training, I'm at roughly 45% to 50% of my true self. I've reached the peak of the Ruler Class. Not bad for a few weeks in this world.]
The Global Confusion:
Sona & Rias:'Ruler Class? What does that even mean? We've never heard of such a rank!'
Alexander's Inner Voice:
*[Internal Thought: I keep forgetting this world's scale is so small. Let's see... if I map it out:
Lower Tiers: Low < Intermediate < High < Ultimate < Satan. The Hidden Ceiling: Super Devil < Entry God (Lower God). The Monarch's Realm: Ruler < Monarch < Hegemony God. The Primordial Tiers: Primordial God < Outer God (My Peak) < Creator God.
Right now, I'm at Ruler Peak. In this world, Ophis is only at Entry God level, and Great Red is at the Peak of Entry God. They're basically toddlers compared to an Outer God.]*
The Shockwave:
Ophis & Great Red (Female): (The Infinite Dragon and the Dream Dragon both froze in their respective dimensions) 'Entry God?! We are the strongest beings in existence, and he calls us... toddlers?!'Serafall:"If Great Red is only Entry God... and Alex is already Ruler... he could literally flick the Underworld away with his pinky!"
The Great Deception
Alex stepped into the dining hall, nodding to his family, while his mind continued to peel back the lies of the Underworld.
Alexander's Inner Voice:
*[Internal Thought: Everyone is faking it. Sirzechs tells the world he's a Satan, but he's actually a Super Devil. Same for Grandpa Darius, Valeria, and Zeckram—they're all Super Devils pretending to be Great Devils to keep the balance.
Even Venelana... she was already at Satan Level before she married Zeoticus, but she kept it hidden. She's probably the strongest woman in the Gremory house, and poor Zeoticus doesn't even have a clue.]*
The Reaction:
Rias: (Staring at her mother) "Mother... you're Satan-class? You've been hiding that much power?"Venelana: (Sipping her tea with a beautiful, dangerous smile) "Oh, Alexander... you really do see through everything. A lady must always have her secrets, but for you, I'd reveal anything."
The "Abomination" and the Plot
Alex's thoughts turned dark as he thought about the "Protagonist" of this world's intended story.
Alexander's Inner Voice:
*[Internal Thought: And then there's that perverted abomination, Issei. In the 'original' story, he reaches Super Devil level by the end, but only because of 'Plot Luck.' He had to sacrifice his heart and hand to Ddraig just to survive.
He literally gets power boosts by poking breasts. I wonder how many times he's already touched Rias's nipples in his head? The thought of that disgusting trash anywhere near the girls in this school makes my skin crawl. Without his massive 'Main Character' luck, he'd be a stain on the pavement.]*
The Shiver of Disgust:
Rias, Akeno, Sona, & Tsubaki: (Simultaneously shuddering with visible revulsion) "Touching... nipples for power? Issei Hyoudou is a monster. I'll kill him if he even looks at me!"Grayfia: (Her eyes turning cold) 'If that boy ever attempts such a thing near the Master or us, I will erase him from the concept of time.'
Alexander's Inner Voice:
[Internal Thought: The 'story' leaves out so much. It doesn't explain how Grayfia really ended up with Sirzechs or the true tragedy of Kuroka. It only shows the 'highlights.' Well, I'm not following a script written for a pervert. Today, I meet Zeckram. I'm going to take those Evil Pieces and forge a Peerage that will make 'Gods' look like ants.]
"Grandpa," Alex said aloud, his voice calm but carrying the weight of a Ruler. "I'm ready. Let's go see Great-Grandfather Zeckram."
