Chapter 3 - 3- Powers

The world of DxD was actually not a very peaceful one, there were some fuck ups happening everywhere almost all the time.

But, the strength of a Super Devil was enough to deter most people, and reducing the number of people who can be counted as a threat to be countable on fingers.

But the thing was, I was not a 'Super Devil' in its truest sense, it was just a term the devils had given me, since that was what they understood of my powers.

Now, Super Devils are not fixated to one type, like Sirzechs Lucifer was born as one, with his mutated power of Destruction, but Ajuka Beelzebub, he became a Super devil with his genius…

Sure, Ajuka also had a shit ton of talent, which probably carried him to the level of peak of Satan, then he broke through it and became a super devil through his genius.

I was believed to be the same type as Sirzechs, a born super devil. But my powers weren't mutated Phenex powers.

The Phenex bloodline wasn't bad to be honest, they had their own capabilities, like, Immortality… well Walmart bought immortality, considering that it was just healing with tons of weaknesses.

Then, there was our fire and wind magic, for offence, and ability to produce Phenex tears, which made us the richest clan of the devils.

Then, there was the added bonus of fire wings, which looked cooler than normal ones.

All in all, pretty well rounded, right? Wrong.

We had many weaknesses, like every member of Phenex clan was either too overconfident and too lazy, and our regeneration ability got flunked the moment we are attacked by holy attribute.

This would not have been too much of an issue, but, the biggest enemies of us devils use exactly that same holy power.

And if that's not all, then the regeneration is also limited by stamina. Yes, once you are out of energy, you die.

So, Phenex bloodline was not as awesome as it sounded.

There, my Phoenix Force came in clutch, unlike the bare back ability list of Phenex bloodline, Phoenix force had far more luxurious stats.

Cosmic fire manipulation, unlike that fake hell fire of Phenex, this one could literally burn off concepts like time, space, life, death.

Resurrection/Rebirth - Literally resurrect or rebirth after death, no more fake Phenex immortality, I was a true immortal.

Then there's matter manipulation, I don't understand much about it, but I know that it's awesome, I can control basically anything.

Then there's time manipulation, self-explanatory.

Reality warping, my favourite.

Telepathy. I mean it's alright, I prefer to use cosmic fire, but this is good too, not flashy enough though.

Then there's creation and destruction powers, I can basically create whatever I want, and destroy whatever I want. Neat.

And last, but not least, a massive boost in every stat.

Can you see the difference between them? Imagine if I got like a second more late that day, I would have been stuck with only Phenex powers, what a bummer would that have been…

Now, the best part about this is that, unlike the marvel characters with phoenix force like Jean Grey and Firehair, I am a Phoenix myself, so the Phoenix force kinda merged with me completely.

Which means, I don't have their control issues.

So, the only thing I need to work on is basically read some science books. I have always hated them, but I need to read them to even understand about my powers in detail.

Like, I don't understand what to do with like half of them…

I mean, I don't feel ashamed of calling myself stupid, and I think it's better that I am stupid, since I don't take as much tension as smart people. I enjoy my life much more.

You would only see smart people being envy of me, not me envying their smartness.

And, with how powerful Phoenix force really is, reading science is more of an add on, I am already strong enough.

But I should also have a training arc like other protagonists, right?

And what could be a training more difficult than reading science.

I can proudly say later that whatever I have achieved, is due to my hard work.

With that, I closed the book in front of me, stood up, and stretched my body.

'Hmm, it feels as if I forgot something…' I pondered, what was it?

'Shit… studying, I sat here to study, and I basically just dozed off and talked with you guys while keeping the book open.

Sigh, nothing can be done now, since I have closed the book for today, let's start tomorrow.

I will start studying seriously from tomorrow.' I nodded to myself, and walked out of the library

"Hey Riser, wanna play a match of smashing brothers?" It was Rorsch, my elder brother, also a famous black sheep of the family.

I mean, he honestly was not that bad, just… average.

But, his elder brother, Ruval Phenex, was an ultimate tier devil, the next heir to the clan.

And, his younger brother, a.k.a. me, was literally a super devil.

Bro had so much competition that he never even stood a chance, I mean, if he tries hard, he can become a high tier devil in strength. But that's not very impressive in the family now, is it?

"Sure. Although I was feeling like playing Hellcraft, playing Smashing Brothers together sounds fun.

But after a few matches, we play Hellcraft." I smiled and replied.

As for what Hellcraft and Smashing brothers are? Yes, as you might have guessed, it's DxD's underworld's bootleg version of Minecraft and Smash Bros.

Although the name sounds sus, but trust me, it's better than the original version,

Why? Because it's made by us devils.

Devils better, human bad.

And so, I went to play with my elder brother instead of training, I mean we were both technically skipping our training, but it's not like I would be the one getting scolded by mom if we are caught.

After all, I am a super devil, we don't need training, and even if there is scolding, Big brother is there to carry all that.

And as sad as it might be, he's used to it by now.

You see, Ruval was super talented, Rorsch could never match his feats, so he was depressed, then I was born.

After that, he just gave up, and started living a chill life.

As for why he's here playing games with me instead of training? Because he has stopped believing in stuff like training now, and believes that talent is everything.

I mean, I wanted to console him, but me saying that talent doesn't matter would be very hypocritical, so I refrained from doing that.

Well, at least he's not depressed anymore.
