Chapter 261: Dealing with Liabilities

Signing a Soul-Geass was obligatory for every citizen of the Empire, so they could not under any circumstances betray the Empire, or the Laws of the Universe would crush their own very soul.

This rule was obligatory for even members of Nobility and High-Ranking Officials. Contrary to commoners, these people were even under the stricter type of contract called Blood and Soul Void-Geass.

Blood and Soul Void-Geass was a new type of Geass developed through arduous research based on the knowledge obtained by Emperor from the Longinus Dreizhen Orden, creating the probably strongest type of contract across the entire Astral Boundary Universe.

It even contained a lot from Okhwang's original Universe, Ancient Dao Universe, which has extensive knowledge of these things, and Zeoticus managed to convince Okhwang to help him in this one; in a way, the entire Orden could then use them.

In the end, it became some kind of group project, where everyone in the entire Longinus Dreizhen Orden worked on this and created their masterpiece.

Blood and Soul Void-Geass could be broken by force only when someone reached a later stage of the Exarch Realm or by someone in Lord-Class unparalleled in Soul Laws and similar aspects.

It was the crystallization of knowledge of several universes.

Ddraig was given Soul-Geass only for now, as he didn't have a physical body.

"Now, we only need to wait till the Empire gathers all necessary resources for your revival."

Stated Rias after Ddraig signed the Soul-Geass.

"And that would be when? I don't want to be stuck up in this hellhole for any moment longer."

Asked Red Dragon Emperor of Domination impatiently.

"A few months maximally. You need to be aware that Empire needs to gather a few more resources, and several of them are extremely precious even across the entire Astral Boundary, ann only father can procure them."

Ddraig nodded, satisfied with this answer.

In the end, what were a few months compared to entire centuries?

Most of the resources were gathered by Zeoticus personally, through the help of his colleagues from the Longinus Dreizhen Orden, to achieve a perfect revival, which was not an easy feat.

After Rias finished negotiating with Ddraig, she returned to the real world from Issei's consciousness.

While she was there, her Executioner subordinates were already cleaning up the place by disposing of corpses, and soon enough, they would obliterate the entire fortress.

"Bring him to healer and heal him properly."

Ordered Rias to her Executioner subordinates.

MC POV

Some time later

After an attack on the fortress of the Fallen Angels, Empire obtained the allegiance of Heavenly Dragon, Red Dragon Emperor of Domination, Ddraig Y. Goch, and Twilight Healing which would serve the Empire as a model to develop similar artifacts for healing.

They would be specially incorporated into the runic armors of Custodians and Sardaukar. Coupled with the quality of the Runic Armors and Personal Shield Generators, they would be completely unstoppable on the battlefield.

What was disturbing news, on the contrary, was information obtained by Intelligence Department that Kokabiel with his group had appeared; he reached the level of Twelve-Winged Archangel-Class Fallen Angel and raided the Vatican.

They killed several prominent exorcists and severely injured Vasco Strada and Ewald Cristaldi.

Their aim was to obtain fragments of the Excalibur Swords, and they obtained 6 out of 7 fragments. All Fake Excaliburs, namely Excalibur Destruction, Excalibur Mimic, Excalibur Rapidly, Excalibur Nightmare, Excalibur Blessing, and Transparency.

The last piece, Excalibur Ruler, was in the hands of the Empire, namely in the hands of the Chthonian Lord Family, the Pendragon Family that joined the Empire.

After raiding the Vatican and stealing all fragments of Excalibur, Kokabiel and his goons disappeared into thin air once more.

As I heard all of these reports, I knew what Kokabiel would do next.

He would attack Kuoh and try to kill Rias and Sona.

He knew that it wouldn't spark the war between Empire and Grigori, but it would create a great rift between our factions that are soon merging.

"Give the command, Your Imperial Majesty, and this Diablo will exterminate all of your enemies."

Diablo knelt before me while he excluded a murderous aura not weaker than mine own. He has long reached the level of the Abyssal King Fiend that was comparable to Warlock Monarch, though his combat prowess would put many Apocalypse-Class beings to shame.

"No need for that, Diablo... I will dispose of him myself... that pest was getting on my nerves for many centuries, and now, he would finally show himself up."

I said with an authoritative voice as I looked at the gathered Imperial Officials.

For past centuries I rarely made a move by myself and let my subordinates deal with all things regarding attacking enemies of the Empire.

"Prepare contingent of Custodians with my son as Leader; they would depart together with me."

I said.

Diablo nodded at my order and departed to organize his Custodians for me.

"Your Imperial Majesty, we have confirmed the connection. Shinto God Susanoo is in cahoots with Kokabiel, who in turn is the servant of Melvazoa. By our information, Amaterasu knows about everything, but she lets it slide; they fear our close relationship with Celestial Court. After the slaughter of all Susanoo's priests, he got into contact with Kokabiel and supplied him with weapons and Divine Crystals."

Said one of the officers of the Intelligence Department.

I just sighed at that.

Alliance with the Shinto Pantheon was signed centuries ago, mainly because they were one of the strongest Pantheons, and we needed allies with strong influence on Earth.

But... I have long ago predicted an outcome like this, and because of that, I have already prepared for it.

"Good. Active the End Protocol. Let Takamagahara burn."

I ordered with an emotionless voice, as everyone stopped in their place as blood froze in their veins.

"It shall be done, Your Imperial Majesty."

I hated traitors, and alliance with the Shinto Pantheon already lost its meaning the moment Susanoo colluded with Kokabiel.

Their time will come faster than others.

In the end...

When I tear down Dimensional Gap, I doubt that even a single God of Draconic Deus will survive the onslaught of factions of the Astral Boundary that are near.

Chapter 262: Broken Toy

Kuoh Town, Several days later.

Several days have passed since the extermination of the Fallen Angels, Rogue Exorcists, and their fortress on the outskirts of the Kuoh Town.

After that operation, Rias's servant Issei became depressed that Fallen Angels killed his nun friend Asia, but Rias was able to smooth things with a bit of flirting and seduction. Of course, it worked splendidly on the pervert, as she needed to have him in an adequate state.

Rias has him completely wrapped around her finger, as he would do everything she asks him. While compared to her siblings, she was lacking in talent and strength, she made it up in scheming and plotting, and her specialty was emotional manipulation which became her greatest strength.

Right now, Rias was sitting in her office inside the occult research club together with Vali as she leaned over his chest.

"I got the message that Kokabiel has raided the Vatican and stolen all fragments of the Excalibur. It is predicted that he will attack Kuoh Town with his remnant followers, and apparently, he has reached the level of Archangel-Class after pledging himself to service of Melvazoa."

Stated Vali thoughtfully as he looked at Rias.

While it was confirmed that elevated powerhouses were always weaker compared to those of the same rank that achieved it by themselves, Vali was the only pinnacle of Satan-Class; with his combat prowess, he could fight to stand-still Super Devils, but defeating one is tricky.

Even if Kokabiel is artificially elevated to that level, Vali doubted that his combat prowess would be lacking, as Kokabiel is known for being a fierce and experienced warrior.

"So the Empire is sending someone to deal with it, right?"

Asked Rias thoughtfully.

"Not someone, but the father is coming personally. He wants to kill Kokabiel and also collect fragments of the Excalibur so they could be reforged into the Excalibur as it was once in the past, before being shattered by Elder Zekram during the Great War between our factions."

Answered Vali as Rias was shocked hearing that their father was coming here personally.

Emperor rarely left the Empire or Baator altogether.

"He also sent me a message that he got most of the materials needed for the revival of Ddraig, and he would also extract his soul out of the Longinus after everything is dealt with."

Said Vali after a short time of thought, while Rias sighed in relief.

This meant that her mission was over, and she could finally return back to the Empire, and she had earned plenty of merits.

Merit Point System was established a few centuries ago to motivate all Imperial citizens to work for the Empire. These Merit Points could be used to exchange for precious resources, spells, and many, many other things.

Even social status could be bought with them, as long a person has an appropriate power level.

Those two things were undividedly tied together.

One cannot become noble without Proper Strength and Merit at the same time.

"Ddraig and Albion were very close to reaching Elder Dragon Class during their life, and now after long years, Lord Albion is very close to the Elder Dragon Class. Both of them are great additions to the Imperial Military Strength."

Stated Rias.

After talking for some time, both of them started making out passionately on the couch, forgetting the erect barrier around them.

***

Meanwhile, as Rias and Vali were lost in their passionate sex, Issei finally woke up after resting for some time due to injuries suffered by Raynare's hand.

He laid on the bed in the Occult Research Club House as he was bandaged.

When he woke up, the first thing he remembered was what happened and how he lost consciousness after being tortured by Fallen Angel Rayner after she extracted Sacred Gear out of Asia and killed her.

He stood from the bed to see buchou Rias as he wanted her to ask, why didn't she save Asia. During the short time he knew her, he became attached to her, and rarely not in any perverted means, but instead, he had the desire to protect her.

As he exited the room, he searched for the Rias's room as he barely could walk because his entire body hurt like hell, but yesterday, he got assured from Rias that it would heal quickly as Devils had a high healing factor.

Soon he arrived at his destination until he froze in his tracks when he heard moans of pleasure from the room, as his heart started beating extremely fast and despair overwhelmed him.

Like a fool he was, he was totally engrossed by Rias, and it took only basically nothing for Rias to make Issei fall in love with her.

She was, after all, an expert at emotional manipulation.

Even though she was greatly humbled during her training to be an executioner, she took great pride that her elders at the Execution Temple praised her for being a prodigy when it came to emotional manipulation for past centuries.

Hearing those moans intensify, he started feeling a weird feeling, like something was torn apart from him, and in his last attempt of hope or desperation, he resisted peeking inside, as he feared what he would learn or see.

Like one would say, hope dies as the last one.

He didn't dare to peek through the door, but in the end, his curiosity got ahead of him as he tried looking through the keyhole, which was possible with his heightened senses.

After he looked through the keyhole, unaware to him, tears started flowing down his face as he stumbled backward and fell to the ground.

After he started crying, he stood up and left for his room, with a lifeless expression on his face as if something broke inside him.
