DXD : Ray Gremory

Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Understanding Power and Friendship



The birthday party continued. Did I ever mention how stupid big my home is? My backyard could host many sports games at the same time. maids and butlers are shuttling around delivering drinks and appetizers to all the adults who came, and socializing is on the move.

Things are more serious due to two of the four Devil Kings joining the party. Ajuka Beelzebub, my brother's friend and fellow Devil King, was going to show, but had to attend to urgent matters in the Human world. Oh, and he is the 3rd other Super Devil besides me and my brother Sirzechs.

I had not realized what it meant to be a Super Devil until my partial memories gave me enlightenment. I have the Potential to surpass most Devils in raw strength and power, but it is not so simple, why?

Let me try and give a simplified version of the power scale of this world, it is something like this...

[Human-class (low 1-3, mid 4-6, high 7-9)] This is the level of strength of most Human adults, and professional fighters. You could assume the maximum level of strength is like having a strength score of 9. When this class exceeds its limits, it would be 10 points and go to the next category of Low-class strength.

[Low-class (low 10-30, mid 31-60, high 61-99)] As you can see, even the lowest of Devils of the Low class is just so much more powerful than anyone in the Human-class. So every category going forward is roughly 10× stronger than the last.

[Middle-class (low 100-300, mid 301-600, high 601-999)] This was about where the strength of Kiba, Issei, and Koneko was in the 2nd season of the anime. This is also the level of most Magicians. And an even more terrifying existence is in this level of power with a score of 999... Mil-tan! He is a Middle-class-high strength Human!

[High-class (low 1,000-3,000, mid 3,001-6,000, high 6,001-9,999)] All Pure Blood Devils fall in this category from birth like Kuisha and Sona has a strength between 1000-3000. Now this is just the normal range and exceptions always exist, like me and Sairaorg Bael. My poor cousin has pitiful levels of Demonic Power, like that of a Human or Low-class person. But thanks to my memories, I know he will be something more with hard work.

[Ultimate-class (low 10,000-30,000, mid 30,001-60,000, high 60,001-99,999)] This is the level of most of the Dragon Kings, like Tannin. My mother Venelana, Serafall, and Grayfia also fall in this range, with Serafall being a bit higher than my sister-in-law, because unlike Grayfia, Serafall does not have a Queen Piece in her!

[Satan-class = Devil King-class (low 100,000-300,000, mid 300,001-600,000, high 600,001-999,999)] This strength level is where the well known Tiamat falls into, and many Legendary monsters of myth. Many Evil Dragons also fit here.

[Super Devil-class = Transcendent-class (low 1,000,000-3,000,000, mid 3,000,001-6,000,000, high 6,000,001-9,999,999)] Myself, Sirzechs Lucifer, and Ajuka Beelzebub are the 'Known' Devils to fall in this category. I know, I know, having a fucking 1 million starting power level as a fucking baby is nuts, but... The 'but' here is, I cannot use most of this amazing power, due to inexperience. Sure my gas tank is amazing and I can shoot small bolts of Power of Destruction all day long, but I cannot make it huge and do massive damage. I cannot even use most of the powers that my brother can. I cannot even change my body into the form I took at birth. These are all things I must learn and practice.

[God-class (low 10 million+ - mid ???- high ???)] And finally this level of power varies so freaking much and is different for every single God. Odin falls in this category.

So when my Grandfather Bael told Katrina Abaddon about my strength, she figuratively threw her daughter into my arms, and prayed to the Biblical God that I liked blondes, as a baby, sigh.

While I was pondering all of these mind numbing numbers, the small hand holding my left-hand squeezed in worry, and asked me.

"Prince Gremory, is your head still hurting?"

"Ray."

Kuisha tilted her head in confusion, so I held up the hand holding mine and told her.

"You are allowed to hold my hand, so that means you cannot call me Prince Gremory. You must only call me Ray from now on, okay."

She looked surprised, because I had never corrected her before, so she only nodded, then said.

"O-Okay, Ray."

Sona pushed up her glasses, she did not even need to wear them, and she said.

"Ray and I have always called each-other by our first names."

Sairaorg grins and chimes in to prove he is one of the friend group.

"That is right, Kuisha... You should also call Sona and I by our names, because we are all friends. That is right cousin Ray?"

"Right, we are four good friends, so let us go and play, but not around the camels."

All 3 of them laughed at me for looking nervous at the camels. For some reason, despite me being strong enough to obliterate the camels, I seem to feel nervous around them now?! Especially the big bastard who launched me!

What, I am still only 4 years old... Just because I got some memories does not mean I am an old man, get real. I say to the group.

"Do you 3 want to go to my game-room and play the new game system Devil King Ajuka Beelzebub made for me? It is better than anything the Human world is making, and there are fighting, racing, and shooting games?"

Even Sona looked thrilled at that. So our friends group told our parents we were off, and with that, our play-day was one I will never forget...

-

After my exciting birthday ended, I went to my mother to have a kinda serious talk with her about wanting to train, learn, and get stronger in general.

Thanks to my near death experience (exaggerating a bit) and knowledge of the future possibilities, I do not want to be a lazy Devil. Like Sairaorg, I need strength and lots of hard training.
