Chapter 131 - Albion (1/2)
”Riassss~! Onii-sama missed you~.”
Just as Rias and others teleported to Underworld, they heard a loud shout of a man. Looking in the direction from where the sound came from, they saw a redhead – like Rias – running towards them, tears falling from his eyes.
He jumped and tried to hug Rias, who swiftly moved to the side, making the man fall on the ground on his face.
”Please behave Onii-sama. You are the Maou. What will others say if they saw you like that?” said Rias as she crossed her hand in front of her still-developing ċhėst.
”But… but… Onii-sama missed Rias! You know how hard it was to not see my little angel for a whole year and just spend my time looking at your pictures!” the redhead, Sirzech Lucifer, cried.
Rias's brow twitched as she looked at her brother. She did not know what to say to her sis-con brother.
”Anyway,” going back to his serious expression, he examined Rias from head to toe before saying, ”I've heard that you have become 'his' [Pawn]?”
Rias, seeing the serious look on her brother's face, nodded, ”I have,” she knew who he was talking about. Of course, Wang Lei. Who else's [Pawn] did she become?
Sirzech sighed. Though he did not hate Wang Lei, he was also not going to say that he liked him. He had the girl he loved, after all. To him, Wang Lei was more like a rival – rival in love that he could not defeat. That's why, though he did not hate him, he didn't like him either.
”Well, what's done is done. On the other note, you look stronger than before. Did he train you?” looking at her, he found that she had some other kind of an aura on her now. Something different from destruction and yet close to it. He was sure that he has seen something like that before.
”Um,” Rias nodded to his question, ”Master has been training me for a year now. I am quite strong now, you know. I don't think anyone from young devils can defeat me now.”
She boosted herself. Though she might not be correct. Since all she learned was the control on her demonic power and <Crush Magic>. That, in essence, was the same as <Destruction Magic>. She still suċkėd when it came to close combat.
”Can you show me? The other magic that you learned from him,” Sirzech asked, quite curious as he felt the other aura on Rias familiar.
Rias did not mind and went to the closest pillar to her, tapping on it with her finger and sending <Crush Magic> to it. Soon, the pillar shone in white, with different crack-like lines forming on it before exploding into different small cubes.
Sirzech's eyes widened too extreme. Not because he was surprised due to the magic, since destruction magic could do similar, but because he felt that same magic structure as he had seen a year ago at House of Naberius territory.
He seriously looked at Rias before asking, ”Rias… did he teach you that magic?”
Rias was confused by her brother's behavior but nodded nonetheless. She did not understand why her brother was so serious all of sudden.
”I see…” Sirzech went into thinking before snapping out of it. Looking at Rias, he smiled, ”You should go and meet father and mother. They have been missing you a lot, Rias.”
Sirzech stare at their backs before sighing, ”Just what did Naberius territory did to make him angry? Meh! Since it is already destroyed let's forget about it. In the end, he just helped us by removing those vermin, who were doing inhumane experiments behind our backs.”
Sirzech shrugged before going after Rias. He wanted to meet and know more about his sister's peerage. Also, to spend some lovey-dovey time between brother and sister… he really was a sis-con, but not as much as a certain transmigrator, who was in love with his sister.

”Well, this would the place where we would be staying from now on,” said the young fox as he looks at the two-story building.
But one should not be deceived by its appearance as the space inside was many times bigger than how it looked. The person who brought this was a Primordial being; what did you expect?
With the use of <Space Magic>, it was not that hard to modify the boundary of space to make it bigger than what it seems.
”This... you don't want this great Dragon King to live in such a mortal place, now do you?” said the girl that appears to be 13-14 years old. She had long platinum hair that matched with her eyes, made her look majestic. She was wearing a one-piece dress that matched her hair and eyes in color -- platinum. She had two dragon horns coming out of her head with a silver dragon tail behind, but due to illusionary magic, it was hidden from the normal eye.

”Oh, so where do you want to live, Albion?” smiling gently, Wang Lei asked.
With a puff of her ċhėst, the platinum-haired girl, Albion opened her mouth, ”Of course, in a cave filled with nothing but sweets!”
Wang Lei had his temple twitched hearing her.
”You like sweets that much, huh.”
”Of course! Without sweets, there is no meaning to life in this world! Everyone should understand that!” as an adherent follower of sweets, Albion spoke with great enthusiasm, ”In fact, you should make use of your reality wrapping magic and make everyone in this world like sweets, daddy!”
”I don't know about that... anyway, we will be living in this place from now on. And don't worry, I will get enough sweets for you to live comfortably,” Wang Lei said, giving up on his 'daughter', ”Now come and help me in cleaning this place and settle our stuff.”
Albion nodded happily when she heard that she can have as many sweets as she wants; her enthusiasm shoots through the roof. She would do the only thing for her sweets!
Looking at her energetic face, Wang Lei smiled patting her head. He remembered how he met this 'daughter' of his.
For that, we need to go back, 5-6 years, in time. It was summer, and Wang Lei was sitting, gently leaning against the tree, cultivating.
Though normally, he would not cultivate since it has lost its meaning to him. But that was not the case with his Physiques, that he had to train manually.
After cultivating <Hell Suppression Immortal Physique> to Grand-Completion, Wang Lei found that it was getting harder for him to cultivate other Physiques.
And he knew the reason very well; he reached the limit he could reach in his current state. He needs a push, a push strong enough to enable him to improve his Physique further.
For that, he needs an opponent who had the same level of Physique as him, otherwise, it was just a dream for others to hurt him.
But again, since he wanted to enjoy fighting, he sealed most of his defensive Physiques. Now a question arises, why did he waste his time trained them when he was going to seal them anyway? Well, it's simple... why not? Since he has, then why not cultivate it? Though he wanted to enjoy fighting -- sealing was when the opponent he was fighting was not at his level.
Since Wang Lei was aware that many people have stronger Physique than him. Not in this world, but in another for sure.
The immortal Physiques gave a person impenetrable defense, but that was just exaggeration. Otherwise, there would have been no way for Li Qiye, who had his Physique reached even stronger than Immortal Physique to get injured.
In the end, at the higher levels, things such as stronger Physiques are useless. At that level, all that matters is your comprehension of worldly laws and Grand Dao. The one who has a stronger Dao would win while those with weak will lose; it was as simple as that -- with enough comprehension, one could become God and Devil with just one thought.
So, since he could not train Physiques that affected his physical capabilities, he decided to train in Elemental Physiques from the word 'Yang'.
The word 'Yang' provided two Physiques related to 'Yang' or Fire. They were <Solar Immortal Physique> and xtreme Yang Physique>.
xtreme Yang Physique> was the one that Tio and Caiyi were trained in, or was training.
<Solar Immortal Physique> was the one Wang Lei was cultivating currently. It allowed a cultivator to emit an endless amount of light which could be used offensively or defensively by creating a spatial gap and becoming unreachable as the sun in the daytime sky.
If one looked closely, then they could see different flowers growing around him. Different animals were sleeping close to him as if basking in his light.
MEOW
Kuro, who was sleeping on his head purred. Since the time Wang Lei started cultivation <Solar Immortal Physique>, Kuro found out that she will find herself in peace if she were near Wang Lei.
If Wang Lei was cultivating normal <Solar Immortal Physique>, then such phenomenon was impossible. Since it helped a person create an endless amount of light -- in an essence, it was the same light as what angels used.
But Wang Lei was cultivating this Physique by using his light -- the light that came from one's heart to cultivate this Physique. Even though his light was aggressive like a hungry beast that would devour everything in its path -- unlike the light of sages that bring peace -- it still was light in the end. So it was not surprising that other animals would love to stay near it. It brought them peace, after all.
It was pleasing and terrifying at the same time. Since if Wang Lei wanted, he could convert anyone by just using his light, making them a believer in his light. Not that he was going to do that. He was not bored enough to become God and have people worship him.
As Wang Lei was sitting under the tree, at some distance away, on a table with different snakes and tea, was Lavinia sitting.
Suzaku and Shuri were also sitting there, enjoying their morning tea.
Shizuku was not present as she was quite interested in this world's magic system. So, she went on her own journey saying that she would be back in a year or two.
Though she would come back at night or sometimes at daytime if she was free.
Lavinia, who was reading a storybook, suddenly raised her head and looked to her right.
”What happened, Lavinia? Is something wrong?” Suzaku asked as she sees Lavinia looking at her right for some time now.
With her finger on her chin, Lavinia cutely tilted her head, ”I don't know... I just thought that I felt someone there... maybe it was my imagination?”
