In a crumbling building, Georg appeared with Cao Cao passed out on his shoulders.
"Looks like we lost big this time eh?"
"You haven't lost enough yet."
A voice appeared behind him at the same time Noah emerged from a space portal.
"You..."
Georg bit his lip angrily.
"I'm in no mood to chat with you.
Eye of annihilation!"
Noah looked at Georg and the latter's soul trembled before he destroyed himself.
Georg belonged to the human mage faction and was the greatest genius the organization and knew all the spells recorded by mages for centuries.
Whether human, Yokai, angelic or demonic spells, he knew them all by heart.
Noah absorbed Georg's memories and sealed his Sacred Gear in a special box before storing it in his magic gourd.
He then grabbed the fainting Cao Cao by the neck and looked at him one last time before destroying his consciousness completely.
Then he simply unlinked it from True Longinus before storing it in a special box filled with all sorts of seals.
This thing, despite its immense power, had the remnant will of Yahve sleeping inside it and Noah was wary of it.
Unless he destroyed this remnant will, he would not give this thing to Magna.
Walking back to the hotel, Noah looked at the group staring at him in confusion and amazement before looking at Vali.
"What happened to Cao Cao?"
"Dead."
"..."
"Don't worry, you still have the mastermind behind him for fun."
"Who?"
"The Hindu god, Indra."
"Indra..."
Vali looked deeply at Noah before turning to leave.
"Oh, I almost forgot! This whole plan carried out by the Khaos Brigade to create a clone of Ophis that they could control was to deliver him to a certain acquaintance of yours."
Vali's eyes narrowed and she turned sharply to look at Noah for a name.
"That man is the leader of the Qlippoth faction of the Khaos brigade, the first super demon, the firstborn of the first Lucifer.
Rizevim Livan Lucifer. Your grandfather."
Suddenly, a monstrous aura filled with murderous intent burst from Vali's body after hearing that name.
That was the name of one of the two men he swore to kill with his own hands.
His own biological grandfather, the man who tortured him along with his father throughout his childhood.
Vali turned with a grim expression as his body disappeared into thin air.
"Well, let's go back."
Noah looked at the others who were still a bit stunned as the situation was resolved too quickly.
Between Cao Cao's entrance summoning Samael and his sudden death, not even five minutes passed.
"Sigh, whatever. This is settled for the time being."
"Ophis, you'd better stay with me for now at my place."
Noah looked at Ophis and Ophis simply nodded in agreement.
It seemed that she had developed an interest in Noah because of his unknown origins.
She could sense that he did not come from this world and this intrigued her.
Therefore, she decided to observe him more closely to satiate her curiosity.
The next day, a meeting of the alliance members was held.
Inside a meeting room, prominent figures representing the various factions were seated at the round table.
On one side were the representatives of the three factions.
On the side of the fallen angel faction, there was Azazel's second in command, Shemhazai and Baraquiel, Akeno's father.
On the side of the angels, sat two of the four seraphim, Michael and Uriel.
On the demon side were the four Satans, Sirzechs Lucifer, Serafall Leviathan, Ajuka Beelzebub and Falbium Asmodeus.
On the other side of the table, there were three other factions.
Seated in the position of representative of the Nordic faction was Odin, with a red-haired man sitting next to him. That was Thor, the god of thunder.
On behalf of the monster faction, there was Sun Wukong and the Kyuubi.
Finally, in the last faction, which had recently joined this alliance, were the two Olympian gods, Zeus and Poseidon.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was stifling due to the gathering of so many powerful beings in one place.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
A person suddenly spoke.
Three people came through the door.
The first was someone everyone knew, Azazel, the leader of the fallen angels.
The second was naturally Noah while the third person was a small loli.
Everyone's expressions became even more tense at the sight of that little loli and some were even ready for combat.
Azazel sat next to his two subordinates while Noah sat on one of the chairs that were still empty.
Ophis sat next to him, making it clear that he was with him.
"First of all, I would like to thank you all for agreeing to this meeting. I know many of you have very busy schedules."
Noah handed them each a document that recounted the events that transpired yesterday.
After they read the report, they all looked at Zeus in unison.
"Ahem! Before you start arguing about this matter, I'd like to give my opinion on the matter."
Noah looked at rodos before continuing to speak.
"The fact that this alliance, which began as an attempted alliance between the three factions sparked by the threat Khaos Brigade posed to their survival, has grown to the point where we are now a six faction alliance is not something that pleases some of your faction members."
Noah made the hologram of a ten-winged fallen angel appear on the table.
"It started with Kokabiel, then it was Loki."
Then Loki's hologram appeared next to Kokabiel's.
"Time is Hades."
A third hologram of a skeleton wrapped in a luxurious robe appeared next to the other two.
"They might not be the only ones. This alliance could be hindered by many other powerful beings whose interests may be affected by it.
I would like you to set aside holding anyone responsible for this matter for the time being and focus on how we must deal with the cause of all this, the king of hell Hades."
Finishing his words, Noah simply closed his eyes.
Azazel spoke next, standing up and bringing everyone's attention to focus on him.
"My action of protecting Ophis and taking her to the red dragon emperor, while justifiable, is a violation of the rules of our alliance.
I am aware that I should have informed you of something so important beforehand.
I therefore announce my abdication from the position of leader of the Gregory organization and appoint my second in command, Shemhazai, as the new leader of the fallen angel faction."
Finishing his words, Azazel also sat back in his chair and closed his eyes, not giving any of those present a chance to object.
Just as he said, even if his action of hiding Ophis with Noah was justified, one of these guys would still find some complaint about his actions and would have pressed him for explanations, forcing him to hand over his research or something like that as a compensation.
By voluntarily abdicating, these guys would not be able to say anything more as this was already punishment enough for their actions.
Some time later, Poseidon at Zeus' side stood up and spoke.
"I will personally take care of dealing with my brother."
"It is too dangerous, I will accompany you."
Sirzechs stood up as well and Poseidon nodded.
After this, the matter was settled for the time being.
"As you all know, the fact that the Khaos Brigade planned this against Ophis has caused them to become enemies.
While Ophis doesn't give a damn and won't go attack the Khaos Brigade or help us fight them, that also means he's one less worry for you guys."
Noah finished speaking and closed his eyes again.
Half an hour later, some of them started to disappear from the place.
Noah also disappeared along with Ophis.
Entering the floating continent, he searched for a suitable place for his training before activating his time dilation ability, setting the flow of time so that one month outside was ten years inside.
Although keeping this ability constantly active in this way would consume his demonic energy non-stop, it still wouldn't use up half of his energy reserve and it was constantly replenished.
And so, Noah's ten-year long training to fully master his demonic abilities began.
He would train throughout the day and during the night, he would conduct his new experiment.
Quickly, five years passed on the floating continent.
Noah looked at a cell with the microscopic vision of his Omega chip with a smile before bursting into laughter.
This cell was his newest project.
It contained the genes of the humans of this world and the genes of the angels.
Noah used the corpses of the angel soldiers he collected during the mages' attack on the alliance of the three races to extract their DNA and mix it with the genes of the most talented human mage in this world, Georg.
While this first was not very difficult to achieve and he did it after a couple of attempts, the really difficult part was to infuse a specific type of magic into the genes to turn that magic into a lineage ability similar to the demons' bloodline abilities.
This took countless failures until he finally succeeded.
Excitedly, Noah took the stem cell stored in a petri dish to the Genesis Drive and let it float out of the petri dish before taking out a wooden statue and extracting his soul clone from inside before letting it enter the stem cell.
He then emptied a space ring filled with sacred energy crystals.
Finally, he pulled out a gold-colored King's chess piece before breaking it and letting the pieces float next to the cell.
Like the demons, the angels had their own methods of repopulating their population since angels could no longer be born naturally due to the death of Yahve.
These angels were called reincarnated angels, humans turned angels who were under the command of the seraphim.
Unlike the Evil Pieces of the demons, the angel reincarnation system was based on Poker cards.
Michael asked the Gregory group to create this reincarnation system and Azazel, as Gregory's leader, gained access to the blueprints for these things.
After a long negotiation, Noah got the blueprints in exchange for some knowledge and used these blueprints along with the blueprints of the Evil Pieces to create this special chess piece.
Noah bothered to create it for two reasons, the first was that this way this clone of his would not be chained in rank since natural angels are born with a fixed power rank and cannot ascend, unlike reincarnated angels, who can rise in rank from the lowest to the rank of Seraphim.
He could simply leave his clone out there and wait for some Seraphim to notice his special talent and make him his reincarnated angel but that would limit him and put him under the control of that Seraphim and that would be counterproductive to his plans.
Closing the Genesis Drive, Noah returned to his training.
The stem cell began to multiply as it fed off the energy of the sacred crystals and a body slowly began to form.
A month later, the Genesis Drive opened and from inside emerged a blond boy about ten years old with two white wings on his back and a golden halo over his head.
Noah stopped his training and went to check the boy's condition, checking his body and soul thoroughly before smiling in relief at the success of this new project of his.
This clone had Yang flames from his conflagrated spirit sea with him, giving his soul a Yang attribute.
Furthermore, the type of magic that became his innate lineage ability was the creation magic that Noah mastered in the world of The Witcher.
It took a lot of effort for him to turn this specific magic into a lineage skill.
Since his demonic body possessed the power of destruction, he decided to make his angelic body possess the power of creation.
Although this clone of his was at the lowest rank of the angel power hierarchy, being a mere two-winged angel, this was perfect since as he continued to move up the ranks he would evolve his lineage and integrate more and more of the power of creation into this angelic lineage of his.
The clone thought for a moment before uttering his first words.
"My name is...Eon."
Dropping his name, he simply spread his wings and flew off into the distance to begin training and adapting to his power of creation.
Noah also returned to his training and the two continued to train for the next five years.
