Shadow monarch in DXD (Male ocxcrossover)

Chapter 2: Inheritance and Reunion

Ashborn's spirit: congratulations my child, I am so proud of you finishing this test and finally being worthy of my powers, I hope you are ready to do it now.

Dante: of course, I have waited for this moment for so long, so I can't wait to finally do it.

Ashborn's spirit: before we proceed with it I have some things to say to you that you didn't know before. I didn't tell you them because they would bring you even more emotional instability than you had which could affect your training but now you are ready to know them. First of all, the process of inheriting powers is quite painful. You will feel how you will die, how your heart will stop, how your muscles and bones will be reinforced, so be prepared for it. Secondly, you will finally get access to the shadow army which I talked about. Thirdly, you will gain access to all of the existing shadows which will cause you a lot of pain due to information overload. Finally, I think the most positive news for you. I told you that my real soul resides in a special place with your grandmother, father and mother, but what I didn't tell you is that I prepared a graduation gift which I asked for from the fragments of light. The artifact will allow you to have access to that place for 2 hours once a year and you can bring as many people with you as you want.

Dante: shocked 😳... Don't tell me that I will be able to meet and talk with all of you and spend time as a real family.

Ashborn's spirit: yes my child but you will get the gift after you inherit the power.

Dante: let's start then, please!!!

Ashborn's spirit: okay, okay prepare yourself child, and calm down, I know that you are very happy.

Huge amounts of energy started to gather around grandfather's spirit. I hadn't seen any amount of power even close to that level in my life and then it had covered the skies with darkness.

(A/N: anybody in the underworld didn't see or feel anything because Ashborn's spirit camouflaged everything from anybody seeing or feeling it happening)

After that a huge amount of darkness started to head in my way, but I didn't try to run away from it. I knew it was the power I had desired for such a long time and no fear or pain will stop me when I have gone so far.

After the first particles of black and purple energy came in contact with me. I started to feel so much pain. It was as Ashborn described. I could feel how my heart stopped, how all of my body cells started to die and recover again, I could feel my brain frying from information overflow from all of the shadows all over the world, I could feel my body being reinforced by the energy, how I became the shadow and death itself.

This process continued for half an hour. I was surprised that my mind wasn't broken into pieces. I thought that it would never end. However, after all of the power entered my body, all of the pain and inconvenience vanished and I stood up as nothing happened. I felt like nothing happened. I could feel power flowing in body. I could feel how now I could do anything. I finally felt weightless not only on my body but soul as well. I started to cover myself with armour to start tests to fully understand my new powers.

(Time skip: 1 hour)

Anybody would think that I would go to meet my parents place immediately, but no, I wanted to test my powers to at least have some general understanding. It would seem impulsive and childish to just run to your parents. When you have such a power, you have to be responsible.

After spending some time to get used to my new overpowered abilities. I saw that suddenly grandfather's spirit started to have cracks in the armour and turn invisible.

Dante: grandfather what is going on with you?

Ashborn's spirit: don't worry, my job is finished. You have taken my place and now I can rest with our family out there, don't worry here is the ring which will allow to have access to that place.
