"It would seem… he has his second ring…" Serafall said with a knowing look.
"So he is bringing those things back!" Venelana had a horrifying look as she saw Marcus putting another ring on his finger.
"I asked him about them before, and he said that Solomon rings were just shortcuts to his magic. This means that he had 10 different shortcuts to specific magics. And the negation one was only one of those 10. The other 9 are different ones altogether." The black-haired Satan explained to the other Devil lady.
"That makes it even more terrifying...don't you think? How can a human achieve such power?" Venelana said while using one hand to cover her face.
"No idea. That's why I am watching over him as much as I can. That's why I am afraid of what he will do to our race if we are to cross him? You don't know, but he has already established barriers worthy of a pantheon around his house…
Before he even had a proper setup for his workshop." Serafall said seriously as she remembered the Diamond Core Heart.
"...I see… I suppose we should try guiding him away from our race and towards other races?" the brown-haired devil suggested.
"That's the wrong way of thinking. He doesn't care for the race, only what it can offer him. As long as no devil offends him, the devil's race is safe." The current Leviathan said with a knowing look as she already had a clear image of their Master.
"You think that he would just erase an entire race?" Venelana asked with wide eyes.
"I have a feeling that it would escalate to the point where Satans would need to act as soon as he revealed Solomon's magic. Devils would panic and would want him to get captured. Which would lead to a very bloody and one-sided fight." The Leviathan said as she had already predicted how the fight would progress.
Marcus is not a fighter. He would simply crush what is in his way. He doesn't have that 'sportsmanship' spirit that many devils or just fighters in general have.
"I see… then let's hope nothing like that will happen…"
"..."

"Let's go and test this ring out!" Both of the devils were brought back from their thoughts when they heard their Master's words.
~~~
Marcus and the pair of devils entered the testing room. Venelana noticed that it was much bigger than she had initially remembered and the flooring had been improved considerably. There were also rows of mannequins at the end of it.
The teen inventor pointed his right-hand palm at one of the mannequins. There was an around-50-metres distance between them.
In the next moment, four circles that were very close to each other appeared at the end of Marcus' palm. And at the last one a familiar black/redish orb started to form.
"Power of Destruction…"
"It's familiar...but different, there is no demonic energy in it," Venelana said after she had felt it.
After all, she was very familiar with the demonic energy in the Power of Destruction.
Marcus didn't say anything, and instead was focusing on controlling it.
The Power of Destruction started going through several forms. From a lance, to small orbs, then other shapes such as a rectangle or a triangle.
"Is it just me or is Master better at controlling it than most Bael?" Serafall whispered to Venelana.
"...it appears so…" The brown-haired devil lady replied with twitchy lips.
Marcus then decided to test its destruction capacities…
It morphed back into a ball before charging up and releasing like a beam.
With a loud cutting-like sound the beam rushed forward, completely erasing several mannequins and digging into a wall.
"Test number one, result: success. Things of note: As previously predicted, copying selective destruction at the moment is impossible, unless the control can be increased through one more circle. The reason for the selective destruction comes from the Demonic nature of the energy." Marcus monologue as he was recording this through his earpiece, his gaze went toward the destruction caused by the beam of destruction.
"So, you still can't replicate that huh…" Venelana said with a slightly relieved tone. She was happy that some of her family power specialness still remained.
"Indeed it most likely comes from your Demonic energy nature. I still need some more testing done before I can replicate it or deciding to find some sort of replacement for it." He said while crossing his hands.
"Well. Anyways, the test was a success, and I can return to my work with the gun." He said with a satisfied look.
He realised that this gun is going to be a lot more than he had expected. For the simple reason that if he plans to shoot beams of destruction then he needs to revamp the whole M.T.M system he has created.
The cartridges need another makeup, while the variations of what form the gun is releasing will need to be added directly into the gun itself.
'Possibly a voice-based system at first then an intent one later on.'
"Sera if you would?" Marcus asked the devil lady.
"One moment."
Serafall called forth her circles which fixed the entire room in just a few moments.
The teen inventor returned to his workshop where he immediately went over to the holographic table and started working on the design of the gun.
He reworked the whole M.T.M system once again, this time with the idea of the cartridges having more than one circle. If the Power of Destruction has four, possibly five. Then he was planning to add that extra control. So that other powers, like healing will also have more than five. it's better if he doesn't have a limit in mind.
Once again he needed to work on the design as he needed to add a fourth system into it. This time it will be at the back of the barrier rail and above the M.T.M system, Marcus calls it the Revolver system.
For now though, it is only going to have bullets, beams, cannons and scattered versions of the things which the weapon can eject.
This means that it will have four circles in rotation. Possibly the easiest system in the whole of the gun.
Finally after several hours of tinkering. Right before it was time to call it a day, he was done with the internal design… now for the hardest part, the gun's outer design…
'Since this gun is for one hand only, well it should be for one hand. Then I need another one for this… hmm… Castor and Pollux… the twins…' Marcus mused to himself as he typed down the new name of the gun, or rather- guns, onto the project file name which was empty before.
Once the name was done he pressed Enter and saved it, and turned off the PC for the rest of the day.
~~~~~~Later~~~~~
"This is the city… I can sense some of Serafall's demonic energy… though it's extremely faint." A silver-haired woman said with a small frown as she looked around the city. It was quite small.
Similar in size to the one her King got rented out for the devils in Japan. The very same city where Rias and Sona are moving in soon.
Is Serafall in this city because of the relations to the one in Japan? Apart from the size, there are no other similarities.
No, such an idea was brushed aside by the silver-haired devil lady. After looking around she started to look for clues on where the Leviathan could be.
In the end, she ended up not far from a building which looks like a school.
'Serafall pretending to be a student?' Grayfia thought with a frown, she looked around for more after this sudden discovery.
In the end, she realised that the time for classes was over. So, instead, she decided to return the next day.
At least now she knows where she needs to go.
