Kapitel 263: End of the Cockroach (1)
Japan, Kuoh Town, Several Days later.
For the past few days, Rias, together with Vali, were preparing for the Kokabiel's attack on the Kuoh Town; meanwhile, Vali was also responsible for preparing Khaos Brigade for the invasion of Takamagahara, as Empire decided to destroy their Pantheon after one of their leaders helped Kokabiel and indirectly Melvazoa.
The plan was to destroy the entire Takamagahara by some kind of arcanotech weapon developed by Lord Magister Ajuka Beelzebub; by calculations, it should severely injure even Mighty Stage Gods to the point of being on the brink of death.
This would destroy the entire Pantheon, leaving Chthonian Empire just to kill those who, managed by some luck, survive, and they could subsequently absorb various Youkai Factions across the whole world. One must know that the Youkai Clans of China have a long-ago migrated to the Baator and pledged themselves to the Chthonian Empire with a bit of help from Okhwang.
"Rias, your perverted servant, is behaving weirdly... even though he is entirely weird."
Sneered Vali as he observed Issei, who was like the lifeless husk of his former self.
"I don't really care; in upcoming days, Kokabiel will attack, and after father kills him, then Ddraig will be extracted to be revived, and the pervert will be killed."
Answered Rias, though she had some ideas in her mind about why he behaved like that.
'We didn't erect the barrier the last time? Maybe he heard or saw us? If that is the truth, then hopefully he will not fall... that would complicate things.'
Thought Rias in her head.
Even though his Soul Aptitude was beyond trash, there still existed a slight possibility of something happening due to him being the host of the Boosted Gear.
No matter how small or trash someone's talent was, in the situation of extreme emotional stress or desperation, they could forcefully awaken their Sacred Gears and, even by force, activate the Juggernaut Drive.
Still, with the presence of Emperor here or when he would be here, it would be no problem, but if he went berserk now... then that would be a serious problem.
Even though Sacred Gears created from some strong creatures or beings cannot display their full strength as they were flawed fundamental, they can still display about 70% of the power of sealed being, and on rare occasions, this number could reach even 80%.
But even 70% of power belonging to Heavenly Dragon that was near to reaching Elder Dragon Class was terrible news for them. Even though she and Vali had some protection artifacts and treasures, they could not directly teleport to Baator, as the plane had already recovered enough, so direct teleportation how it was centuries ago was impossible.
They could only escape and hope he wouldn't pursue them or be slow enough for them to escape.
"I will assign an additional Executioner to observe him, and in the worst case, I can activate the self-destruction of the Independent Card to dispose of him. Then though, I would have only 30 seconds to catch his soul and extract Ddraig, or Ddraig's soul would return to Heaven's System."
Stated Rias calmy as she thought about her possible choices and their outcomes.
Soon enough, it was evening, and Rias was prepared to go to sleep as she was tired from an entire day of dealing with paperwork and directing her subordinates to prepare for Kokabiel's attack.
As soon s she lay on her bed and wanted to sleep, Vali barged into her room with a frown on his face.
"Barrier around the Kuoh has been breached."
He said briefly as Rias quickly stood up.
This barrier was erected by Vali and his lieutenants from the Khaos Brigade and would be hard to breach even form of a boosted-up Kokabiel, which meant only one thing, the enemy was far stronger than they had anticipated.
"Has he showed up yet?"
Asked Rias.
"Not, probably waiting for something... but I got a message from father that he is already here and observing everything from shadows. By his words, Kokabiel won't kill us easily or fast, as he is too confident or arrogant in his new strength, and additionally, he wants spectators to watch his show so that he will be theatrical. Father wants to wait to hear what he has to say. Because Kokabiel believes we are dead meat, he would say to us many things, and father is curious who among other factions of Earth area threat to our plans... apparently, Shinto Pantheon isn't the only one that is; moving against us and is a threat."
Explained Vali their current plan.
"So we are partially baits, right?"
Asked Rias shortly after.
"Indeed, if you look at it, but nothing can happen to us under the protection of father so that we would be okey."
Answered Vali.
Indeed, under the Apocalypse-Class powerhouse's protection, there was zero possibility that Kokabiel could even tough them.
"Come, we need to go and entertain our guest... Kokabiel should be already somewhere nearby."
Stated Vali as he looked at Rias and left the room.
