[100 Years Later]

Ruin was brought upon all of the three Biblical Factions. God was dead. The four original Satans were dead. The only faction leader to survive the horror of the war was the Governor General of the Fallen Angels, Azazel. His people were the least scathed. A majority of their leaders survived with the majority of their losses being from the general population. The Angels however were a different story.

The final attack by the Devil Kings was a success and they were able to kill God himself. Because of his death, Heaven became out of control and a new leader was necessary to keep everything intact. The Great Seraph Michael was chosen to become Gods replacement. Interestingly enough, Michael originally nominated Gabriel to become Heavens new leader but after word got out that she and God had an argument moments before his death, she chose to allow Michael take up the mantel. Unfortunately, with the death of God there was no way to create new Angels and the Seraphs had to become stricter with the most recent creations of God. Gabriel didn't approve of these methods and raised an Angel who seemingly came out of no where named Houki.

But what of the Devils?

Over half of the 72 pillars became extinct with only 33 surviving. As the original Asmodeus predicted, chaos ensued after the war. The children of the Devil Kings assumed authority and sought revenge upon the Angels. They were met with heavy opposition by a vast majority of the remaining clans which led to a civil war. The Old Satan faction were soon defeated by the New Satan faction and were exiled. The new government elected Sirzechs Gremory, Ajuka Astaroth, Serafall Sitri and Falbium Glasya-Labolas to become to new Lucifer, Beelzebub, Leviathan and Asmodeus repetitively. Thankfully to counterattack the decline of of pure-bloods, Ajuka Beelzebub created the Evil Piece system to reincarnate other races and rebuild Devil society. Unfortunately some of the clan heads pushed for marriages between pure-bloods due to their rarity which led to a certain predicament in the estate of Asmodeus.

A disgraced princess was accompanied by a single maid as she stared through the mirror which stood before her. Her long crimson hair draped down a large wedding dress that did little to conceal her bust. This princess was Rias Gremory, heiress to the House of Gremory. On any other day she would have been proud to be from such a distinguished family. But today wasn't one of those days. In just a few moments she would be wed to one of the most disgusting men to ever be born, Riser Phenex.

She fought this marriage as hard as she could have. She reincarnated an exiled nun with Twilight Healing but it just wasn't enough. As much as she wanted to put the blame on her parents for this wedding she knew it wasn't their fault. The Elders demanded that a child of Zeoticus and Venelana Gremory be wed and give birth to a pure-blooded child. Sirzechs wasn't eligible due to him being too busy as a Devil King. Which unfortunately led to Rias being the unlucky child. The only thing slightly comforting was that the wedding was taking place in the estate of the original Asmodeus as it was were her parents were married over a millennia ago.

"Where did it all go wrong" She whispered to herself. At this moment she was broken. She thought nothing could save her from this, that it was her fate to fail.

Behind her another maid entered the room and bowed. "It is time m'lady" The maid said.

"Of course it is" Rias sighed. "I'll be there shortly"

[Scene break]

Rias walked down the halls of the estate heading towards the room her wedding would be in. Rias looked towards the nearest grandfather clock she could find. It was a quarter til midnight. Her last night free. She took her time admiring all the statues and paintings that covered the walls. As a child her mother and father would always tell her stories about the first Asmodeus. It surprised her to know how close the two were to him. Even more so when she found out that Sirzechs would get some personal training with the king every now and then. Without that training he may have not become as powerful as he is now.
