Meanwhile, Issei is trying his best to survive and overcome hardships in the other world girls have been training and working hard back in the DXD world.
Ingvild has become a low ultimate class devil with the help of her intense training with her magic and sacred gear, she had decent control over the gear and was deemed worthy of her own set of chess pieces but she refused the evil pieces because she wasn't the leader type who can command other people unlike controlling dragons with her gear.
Murayama and Katase became excellent knight and pawn in Rossweisse's peerage.
They were able to wield a sword at a level that most couldn't with the help of Arthur and after becoming devils they received a major speed boost because of the knight pieces.
Rossweisse has become stronger after training in Asgard too.
After Seeing how Issei took down Trihexa, she wanted to become stronger and be by his side so she sweated and bled like others to become stronger and eventually became low ultimate class devil and rivaled her sister in strength but her sister was more skilled with weapons while Rossweisse learned new spells and grew her magic reserves, that doesn't mean that she didn't learn how to wield certain weapons from her sister like short swords, daggers, spears, and even magic gauntlets.
After returning to Kuoh to help Sona maintain the town she became a high-class devil and received her evil pieces after taking a practical and written exam like Ingvild and made Katase her knight and Murayama her pawn with three pawn pieces as they requested to become even stronger.
After Rias was stripped of her status and peerage Kiba had the choice to choose his new master who is Rossweisse and became her knight.
Irina on the other hand became heaven's strongest ace and obtained six more sets of wings.
Her light and holy magic improved and her aura was stronger and her magic much more potent.
Of course, it wasn't easy while Grayfia taught her well she couldn't learn much because well, she was an angel and couldn't learn demonic spells so her only option was Griselda who gladly helped her but always pushed the poor angel to her very limit.
Griselda showed no mercy during their training and was very strict, unlike Grayfia who always had a motherly aura.
But Griselda helped her grow stronger she was the main reason why she gained six sets of wings.
Irina's swordmen-ship improved too with Arthur's help and she sometimes sparred with Murayama and Katase on some days to see how strong they became.
But Valerie... after she fully recovered she found out that she had no magic left, despite all her tries she couldn't recover her lost magic, probably the side effect of her gear being overused and later stolen but after she became Rossweisse's pawn and took three pawn pieces she gained some demonic magic but it was the same when Issei became a devil.
She didn't know what to do and slowly started to get depressed but with a certain crow's help, she was able to become stronger despite her practically non-existent magic.
Azazel offered to train and become an assassin-type fighter.
Valerie decided to give it a try and she was trained by team slash-dog.
Her main weapon was a magic gun, it looked like a simple human gun but it actually had magic capabilities luckily it did not require a lot of magic to use it.
She just had to imbue the gun with some of her demonic magic and shoot magic bullets at her targets.
She could create Ice and fire bullets.
Much like her main weapon she had melee weapons which could be enhanced by a small amount of magic much like her gun.
Two daggers made from Fafnir's scales and two regular throwing knives.
Her body has become physically stronger and more flexible.
And the promotion of the pawn gave her a decent boost in magic or speed depending on which piece she chose to promote to.
After her training, she helped team slash-dog on some missions to gain some fighting experience.
Momo was traded and became Rossweisse's bishop.
Sona knew that Momo wanted to be closer to Issei so she let her go but Momo owed her some favors as a result which she didn't mind as long as she could stay closer to Issei.
With the help of Azazel, she almost mastered her sacred gear and was able to create unbelievably strong barriers.
Her magic control increased as well as her magic pools.
Momo learned new magic spells and barrier strengthing spells from Grayfia and was able to block Fafnir's normal breath attack with ease.
Tiamat and Valerica grew stronger together and spared together with all their might.
Valerica was able to hold her juggernaut drive way longer than before without losing her sanity and was able to grow stronger physically together with Tiamat with the help of Tannin but mostly Crom Cruach.
Crom Cruach agreed to help because he wanted them to grow stronger so he could fight them soon.
How excited he was especially for his fight with Issei.
Valerica was able to reach mid-ultimate class with Tiamat in strength but the two of them usually spent in the faction lands dealing with paperwork, they couldn't leave it all to Tannin alone even if he somehow enjoyed doing his job.
With the trio working they were able to start building towns and cities with the help of other factions with materials and workers.
They created a city that became a capital called the "Sahqo Dovah" Red Dragon in dragon language.
But Right this moment Issei's mates are having a meeting in the dragon territory where a castle was built over time.
A large gorgeous Blackstone castle with five towers connected by tall and sturdy walls around stood as a symbol of dragon's might.
Inside the castle's meeting room, all the girls were seated around a large table only one chair was empty where the leader of the faction was supposed to be.
Ingvild, Valerie, Irina, Murayama, Katase, and Momo, had worried expressions while Tiamat, Rossweisse, and Valerica had serious expressions.
Their main topic was Issei.
"Today, we gathered here to discuss some important business" Started Tiamat.
"As you all know our beloved sacrificed his remaining humanity and became a full-fledged dragon to defeat Trihexa"
"But for the last six months, we were unable to contact Ddraig at all.
Vritra told us that he left after Ophis helped them train Issei by creating a time barrier that allowed Issei to spend three years training inside.
There he was able to obtain his human form but..."
"That happened six months ago" Continued Rossweisse.
"Yes, and he still didn't even contact us, we have no clue where he went, he vanished without a trace together with Ddraig, and we can't overlook this anymore, tomorrow morning we will ask other faction leaders to send search parties to look for Issei and Ddraig and find out what is going on because our search parties are not enough to find them" Said Valerica.
"That is not necessary" Spoke an unknown voice from a dark corner of the room.
All of the girls turned around to see Ophis with a... Worried look?
"What do you mean Ophis?" Asked Valerica.
"I know where he is...no, I know where he should be" Answered Ophis.
"What? you know? tell us please" Said Ingvild as she stood up from her seat with tears of happiness.
Ophis just stood there silent for a moment before answering.
"I-... sent him and Ddraig for a vacation to another world" Answered Ophis.
The girls froze upon hearing Ophis's words.
What was she talking about? another world? what kind of nonsense is this?
"What do you mean Ophis!? bring them back this instant!" Shouted Valerica.
"I... Can't"
".....What?"
"I can't"
"why not? why send him if you can't bring him back!? What were you thinking!?" Shouted Valerica as she stood up.
Her rage was overwhelming and her aura started to manifest around her.
"I didn't know this would happen!?" Shouted Ophis as she momentarily released her aura by accident causing all of the girls to freeze, not out of fear but in complete and utter shock.
They were too shocked to do anything besides watch the calmest, quiet, and most emotionless dragon god shout and even shed tears right in front of them.
Ophis with trembling hands hugged herself as tears continued to roll done her face.
"I-I just wanted to help! I-I never wanted to cause him harm! I don't know what to do anymore! he helped me so much! because of him I was able to learn so much about a normal and fun life! I was able to eat sweets and have lots of hugs! all because of him! I can no longer imagine my life without him anymore!" Cried Ophis as she slumped done to her knees.
The girls didn't know how to react but shed some tears of their own at the thought of Issei never returning home.
"I sent them to another world where I was a few times, there was no danger no monster nothing just pure relaxation after all he did so much for everyone... for me...I just wanted him to take a break with his friend, I was going to bring them back after a month but.... when I sent them out... Something or someone tempered with the teleportation spell and they were sent somewhere elsewhere..." Said Ophis as she sobbed.
"But I haven't given up! I won't give up and find him no matter what! after all... he didn't give up on me...I will continue to search for him until I find him and bring him back" Said Ophis as she slightly calmed down.
Valerica couldn't feel rage any longer even if she wanted after hearing and seeing Ophis.
Valerica walked up to Ophis and got on her knees before hugging Ophis.
Ophis was shocked for a few seconds before she broke down crying again.
The rest of the girls came around Ophis and hugged her too.
"It's okay, What matters is that you haven't given up and are trying your best to find him" Said Valerica.
"I'm sure that you'll be able to find him sooner or later" Said Ingvild.
"But what if he was sent somewhere really dangerous?" Asked Ophis with a shaky voice.
"We know that he is more than capable of protecting himself and becoming even stronger, he is the one who keeps making the impossible possible plus he has Ddraig, they are the best duo there is so I'm sure they will be fine" Said Albion.
"That's true, our beloved will not give up so easily" Said Irina.
After a couple of minutes of hugging Valerica offered Ophis to stay at the Sahqo Dovah's castle.
Ophis agreed and she was assigned a room next to the king's room and slept together with Ingvild so she wouldn't be lonely.
Next day Hyoudou household.
Rias was stripped of her power, status, and peerage, she was depressed and stayed in Issei's former room locked.
She barely ate and left the room only on rare occasions.
Xenovia, Koneko, Akeno, and Asia were worried.
They tried talking with her but she just wouldn't listen, even her brother Sirzechs couldn't do anything about that but he didn't give up, he still loved her sister dearly and tried to help with whatever he could.
He usually visits three times a week sometimes four times if he's lucky.
Today was the day when he couldn't visit her because of the massive amount of paperwork he had to take care of.
Issei's parents helped Asia take care of her newborn however they could.
Xenovia rarely ever trained and lost her touch wielding a sword.
Even if their powers were sealed they still can train.
Koneko was eating a lot of sweets to distract herself but it was working less and less each day.
Akeno wasn't any good either but she had to take care of everyone, especially her best friend.
Today Akeno went to talk to Rias again with a plate of Asia's toast and a cup of coffee.
Upon reaching the door of the room Akeno knocked several times just to receive silence in return.
"Rias... Are you awake? I brought you breakfast" Said Akeno in a worried and tired voice.
Still no response.
"Rias please, I know it's hard but please pull yourself together, it's not healthy to stay in a room for so long without eating and showering, we and your brother are worried, so please open the door and eat breakfast please?" Asked Akeno calmly just to receive silence again.
Sighting to herself Akeno decided to end this, she was too tired to deal with all of this, she can't handle it anymore.
"Rias that's it I'm coming in" Said Akeno before kicking the door open.
As soon as the doors opened she saw a drake room with a single figure on the grown beside the bed sobbing while hugging her legs.
That was once prideful Rias Gremory, reduced to shell of her former self.
It hurt Akeno to see her friend like this but she wasn't alone who was regretting their choices.
She wasn't alone who was hurting from the inside.
"Rias..." Whispered Akeno before slowly walking up to her with the plate and cup of coffee towards Rias.
"Rias, please eat something, and get out of this room already, it stinks here, when was the last time you took a bath? it's not healthy" Said Akeno.
"It doesn't matter Akeno..." Whispered Rias.
Akeno remained silent.
"What's the point? I lost the love of my life, I was disowned by my parents after I erased 'him' from his parent's memories... I'm a horrible person u don't deserve to even be alive" Said Rias as she slowly looked up at Akeno.
Akeno saw Ria's lifeless dull eyes that held only regret and sadness.
Even if they were fine for a week after being banished from the underworld they realized how meaningless their lives became.
But Akeno didn't want to give up.
"Rias... I know what we did was wrong but... At least we have to apologize to Issei, We can't just run away for all of this" Said Akeno.
"No Akeno... I don't deserve to even face him anymore... I rather die now than make him suffer any longer..." Said Rias
Before Akeno could say anything a deep and creepy voice responded.
"If that's what you want then you shall join them" Said a voice from the doorway.
Akeno and Rias turned to look at the newcomers and saw three people enter the room.
What shocked Akeno the most was Koneko's, Xenovia's, and Issei parent's heads in their grasp.
"N-no..." Uttered Akeno as tears started to escape her eyes while Rias just stared with her lifeless eyes.
"Who are you!? what have you done you bastards!" Shouted Akeno as she stood up with overflowing anger.
"Oh nothing much just carrying out orders, we got information that the family's Rias Gremory was banished to the human world so we decided to kill you as payback" Said One of the men with a creepy smile.
"Don't worry though, now it's your turn" Said the man as he took out a dagger from his belt.
"Like I'll let you!" Shouted Akeno before charging the man with all she had but...
*STAB*
Blood started to drip down.
"Heh, I guess you can't do much without your magic kekeke" Said The Man as he chuckled.
He removed the dagger from Akeno's gut and let her fall to her knees.
"We are Qlippoth and we will make the current Lucifer out puppet kekekek" Said the man before swiftly slashing Akeno's head off.
Rias continued to watch with her lifeless eyes as her best friend was killed.
"Now it's your turn red-head kekeke" Said the man as he walked towards Rias just stared at Akeno's lifeless body and didn't even notice the man standing right in front of her with his weapon ready.
"A-akeno" Whispered Rias as tears escaped her eyes.
"Die for the sake of destruction" Said the man before doing the same and severing Rias head.
Blood splattered all over the place the two men laughed before dropping the heads of Koneko, Xenovia, and Issei's parent's on the ground.
"Time to go before Lucifer comes" Said the killer before putting a note on the bed and putting his hand on Rias's head.
A small black magic circle formed for a split second before disappearing.
The three men Teleported out of the mansion after they sensed a person walking inside the mansion.
As Asia walked inside the house with Kurėnai in her arms and a man with a nasty scar on his face beside her side.
"Thank you, Kiba for walking with me around the town "Thanked Asia with a small smile.
"No problem call me if you need help" Said Kiba.
Kiba was about to say his goodbyes but stopped as he smelled a metallic smell although faint but enough for his devil senses to pick up
He summoned his sword of betrayer.
"Kiba?" Asked Asia confused by the knight's actions.
But Kiba just put his finger on his lips.
Asia nodded and followed closely behind as he walked upstairs.
He was on guard and the more he walked the more he could smell the metallic smell... the smell of blood.
They were close to Issei's former room and the door was open.
Even Asia could smell the stench now.
Without a word, Kiba walked inside and to his and Asia's horror they saw their friends and Issei's parents... dead, killed in a gruesome way.
"N-no NO!" Shouted Asia as she slumped down to her knees while holding Kurenai firmly.
Kiba just watched the scene.
Unable to think of anything else Kiba formed a magic circle beside his right ear.
"Hello? Kiba? Is something the matter?" Asked Grayfia.
"Y-yes... Something horrible happened... Bring Sirzechs to Issei's former room immediately it's his sister" Answered the knight.
Hearing the knight's words Grayfia cut the communication while Kiba unsummoned his sword and walked inside the room.
He looked around and saw a note on the bed.
He walked up to the bed and picked up the note.
'Blame the Red Dragon Emperor for all of this, this is the first step for Qlippoth's ultimate goal'
That was all the note said.
Before he could do anything else a magic circle appeared in the middle of the room and out of it emerged Sirzechs and Grayfia.
"What happened to my sister where is sh-" Asked Sirzechs before spotting the blood puddles with two bodies and six heads on the ground.
"Rias?..." Whispered Sirzechs as he spotted his sister's head on the ground.
Grayfia covered her mouth from the shock while Sirzechs walked up to the bodies.
"W-what happened here?" Asked Sirzechs.
*I don't know my Lord I just got here but... this was left here" Said Kiba as he gave Sirzechs the note.
Sirzechs read the note before an overwhelming aura started to fill and destroy the room front eh power of destruction.
"Whoever did this won't stay alive for long!" Shouted Sirzechs as the paper disintegrated into nothingness.
But while no one noticed a black shadow-like creature jumped at Sirzechs out of Rias's head and entered his head.
"Grayfia, Inform my parents of this and... Call for the meeting with the factions that will happen in the next two days from today" Said Sirzechs.
Grayfia nodded before leaving to carry out his order
"Qlippoth I promise you will regret this" Said Sirzechs before disappearing with his magic circle.
'Sigh....' A deep sigh was heard from the redhead Maou as he signed some paperwork.
The news of Ria's death wasn't publicly announced yet only Zeoticus and Venelana were informed.
They were deeply saddened to hear such horrible news, they blamed themselves for her death because they were the ones to banish her to the human world without any kind of means of protection.
Not only did Rias die together with most of her peerage but the powerful dragon's parents died too.
What will they do? Issei was still probably in a coma so it was their duty to at least protect his parents for his help in defeating the beast.
For the last two nights, Sirzechs was having horrible nightmares since that evening.
It was Rias with blood tears and a deep black void instead of her usual baby blue eyes staring at Sirzechs and blaming him for her death.
The Maou had a hard time because of these nightmares, he was having moments when anger suddenly rises out of nothing and had a tough time focusing on his work or other things.
Suddenly the doors to his office opened and Grayfia the strongest queen in the underworld walked in and went straight to Sirzechs.
"Dear, I think it's enough of work for today, let's go to bed and have a good rest, don't forget tomorrow you have an important meeting with the faction leaders" Said Grayfia with a soft tone of her voice as she walked up behind her king and started to massage his shoulders.
She noticed the changes in his behavior and appearance.
His shoulders were stiff, he had bags under his eyes, and always looked angry or frustrated.
Suddenly his anger rose once again as he slammed his fist onto the table cracking it in the process.
Grayfia was startled by the sudden outburst and had to step back because Sirzechs was releasing his destructive aura.
"Why can't we just have peace!? have we not suffered enough!? why do they have to keep doing these meaningless wars!? my sister did not deserve to be killed in such a way and left to rot in her own blood! I will kill every single one of those bastards who dare to mess with me!" Shouted Sirzechs as his aura kept growing until he heard Grayfia fall to the ground.
Sirzechs turned around to see passed-out Grayfia gasping for air on the ground.
Even Grayfia couldn't fight back with her own aura and was overwhelmed.
Sirzechs didn't notice his aura releasing and caused his wife to pass out.
"Grayfia!" Shouted the Maou as he quickly knelt down to check on her.
"Damn it" Said the Maou as he clenched his fists.
He looked around just to see everything destroyed by his destructive aura.
Sirzechs once again let his anger get the better of him.
"Am I really suitable for this job?" Questioned himself the read head.
"I always was spouting that I'm a leader foremost and family second but here I am can't even calm myself down because my sister died... fuck I'm pathetic" Said Sirzechs as he picked Grayfia up and went to their room to sleep for the night.
Sirzeachs had trouble sleeping this night again but he managed to fall asleep regardless just to wake up in the same nightmare again... or so he thought.
He opened his eyes to see only darkness.
Darkness was all around him, he couldn't tell if he was standing or floating nor could he tell where up and down was but soon he heard slow footsteps echo from the distance slowly getting closer and closer.
Each step sent cold shivers down his whole body.
He looked in the direction of the footsteps only to see nothing but the footsteps didn't stop.
Sirzechs was confused, he didn't know what was happening.
Suddenly the echo of footsteps stopped but the Maou still couldn't see anyone.
"Well hello there Sirzechs Lucifer the current leader of the underworld" Greeted him in a dark creepy voice.
"Who are you and where am I?" Asked Sirzechs as he glared in the direction of the voice.
"You don't need to know that but I can tell where and why I am here kekeke" Answered the voice with a dark cackle.
"We are inside your mind and I came here to offer you power" Said the voice.
"Power?" Asked Maou confused.
"Yes, power for revenge against those who hurt your family" Said the dark voice.
Sirzechs could feel the person was smiling a creepy smile while making the offer.
"I don't need power, I am a Lucifer and the most powerful devil alive, even the original Lucifer wasn't this strong" Answered Sirzechs.
"Oh?"
"Plus, I have a bad feeling about all of this, just who are you?" Asked Sirzechs once more just to hear more laughter.
"I told you already you don't need to know this but are you sure you don't need more power? I mean you couldn't protect your sister with your current abilities" Said the voice.
"What did you say!?" Shouted Sirzechs.
"Getting angry, are we? but I'm just stating the facts I mean just look!" Said the voice and a bunch of images of Ria's headless body with blood all over the place.
"Stop this! I can't bear this anymore!" Shouted Sirzechs as he couldn't look at the horrible image anymore, as much as he tried to close his eyes his body didn't listen to him, he couldn't even if a finger.
"You see what happened to your sister? it's your fault for being weak and yet you still refusing more power"
"You know, if you take this power not only will you be able to kill your sister's murderers but you will have the chance to kill a certain person who promised to protect her with his life but instead ran away with other women"
Sirzechs stopped struggling and the images disappeared.
The redhead looked back in the voice's direction.
"Who are you speaking of?" Asked Sirzechs.
"Oh, as if you don't know, I'm talking about the current Red Dragon Emperor, the boy who is really at fault here for your sister's death"
Suddenly a memory of that night when the redhead slept over at Hyoudou household appeared in front of Sirzechs.
"Issei... do you love my sister?"
"Wha- what!? where did that question come from!?"
"Just answer the question, do you love my sister?"
"I- ugh I... Yes I do love Rias"
"Haha that's good to hear, I hope you'll make her happy and protect her"
"Don't worry! I will protect her with my life!"
"You promise me that?"
"You bet I do!"
The image disappeared and silence was all that remained until the voice spoke up once again.
"You see, it's not exactly only your fault, he was the main reason why she was killed, word got out that the Red Dragon Emperor was not protecting Rias Gremory anymore, they knew she was an easy target to send a message"
Another moment of silence went by before the voice spoke.
"So, why not accept the power I offer? even your special devil form won't be enough to kill the Red dragon so how about it hm? Lucifer?"
"I...I won't...give in" Said Sirzechs shockingly.
"I...I'm a leader foremost... I won't let my anger get the better of me... even if he was supposed to protect her... I still have a faction to protect and lead.." Said Sirzechs as he battled the temptation and his rage.
"Wow... wasn't expecting this honestly... well no matter, you will come back here and will take the power to destroy, it's just a matter of time" Said the voice.
"Well then... for now you can enjoy your sweet nightmares for the rest of the night" Said the voice and Sirzechs was back to the same nightmare for the third night.
"Kekeke this is more entertaining than I thought I'd be, I await your return as you quickly break Lucifer, you'll have no choice but to accept me, the end of the world is near and you are the first and the most important step kekekeke" Cackled the voice for the last time.
" ' GASP!' " With a loud gasp, Sirzechs awoke with sweat all over his body.
He just woke up from the same nightmare but this time it was different.
After the mysterious voice, Rias blamed not him but Issei for her death.
Deciding to forget about this, for now, he went to take a shower.
After the shower, he dressed up in his usual formal clothes and went to the living room to see Grayfia bringing in breakfast and coffee for the redhead.
"Good morning my lord" Greeted him Grayfia with a bow.
"Morning Grayfia..." Greeted Sirzechs a be sat on one of the couches.
"Grayfia... I'm sorry for yesterday... I didn't mean to hurt you" Apologized the Maou.
Grayfia just flashed a small smile before responding.
"It's fine don't worry but you really should stop blaming yourself for what happened and focus on what's ahead, plus you have a very important meeting today so you have to stay focused"
"Alright my dear, care to join?" Asked Sirzechs.
"Sorry but ill have to go and check up on Milicas" Replied Grayfia.
"I see then you are free to go" Said Sirzechs.
Grayfia bowed before leaving the Maou alone to eat his breakfast and prepare for the meeting.
But he couldn't exactly focus on that as words kept ringing in his head.
"It's not your fault, the Red Dragon Emperor is the main reason she's dead" Over and over again.
But he managed to get rid of those thoughts as the time for the meeting arrived.
Around the table sat Azazel, Michael, Odin, Yasaka, Tannin, and Sirzechs.
"Shall we start the meeting?" Asked Sirzechs.
Everyone gave a nod of approval.
"Then I shall start, the reason I called you all here was to tell you that my sister died.
"What? how did that happen?" Asked Yasaka?
"New organization appeared similar to Chaos brigade called Qlippoth, they killed Rias, her peerage, and... Issei's parents" Informed Sirzechs.
No one spoke.
All of them had shocked faces as they slowly digested the information.
"Issei's parents are dead?" Asked Azazel with a hint of fear in his voice.
Issei was a dragon and a powerful at that, once he finds out a lot can happen like going on a rampage or starting a war.
"Qlippoth what is their goal and do you know who is the leader?" Asked Michael.
"I don't know their goal but I believe most members are from Chaos brigade but under a new leader who is still unknown" Answered Sirzechs.
"I see... how worrisome" Said Michael with a worried.
"So what are we going to do about all of this?" Asked Odin.
"We need to deal with all of this quickly, we need to gather more information and find their base location" Said Sirzechs.
"I'll send team slash-dog to search for them" Said Azazel.
"We should inform the people and strengthen the defense of the faction and protect the people" Said Tannin.
"Yes, I agree but we still don't know how strong the enemy is and how many of them joined Qlippoth" Said Michael.
"Alright, let's raise awareness and warn our people to stay on guard and report any suspicious activities" Said Sirzechs.
"Alright now then... what did you say about lord Issei's parents?" Asked Tannin with a frightening sharp look.
Everyone turned to look at Sirzechs neutral expression.
"They were killed by the members of Qlippoth the same evening Rias was killed" Said Sirzechs.
"This is bad, if he finds out he most likely will go on a rampage to destroy everything or at least... the devil faction" Said Tannin.
"Why devil specifically?" Asked Yasaka.
"Rias who was a devil brought danger to his parents and got caught up in all of the supernatural mess so his first target will be the devil faction" Said Tannin.
"So what should we do?" Asked Odin.
Suddenly the voice rang inside Sirzechs head, the same voice he heard in his dream last night.
'He'll come and kill you anyways so why not kill him first? create a special dragon-slaying weapon and just kill him hmm?'
"Wh- why not create a weapon that can stop him from going berserk?" Asked Sirzechs taking the voice's advice.
"Okay, but what can we make?" Asked Azazel.
"How about a dragon-slaying weapon?" Asked Sirzechs.
"But that won't be enough to knock him out" Said Tannin.
'Use some of Samael's blood' Said the voice.
"How about... Samael's blood?" Asked Sirzechs after a small pause.
"No way, I'm against this" Said Azazel with slight anger.
"I'm against this too. I can't just watch not talking about participating in weapon creation and killing my leader" Said Tannin.
"I'm against it too" Said Yasaka.
"Same here" Said Odin.
"I'm willing to help but not with Samael's blood please" Said Michael.
"I see..." Replied Sirzechs.
"We will find another way to knock him out IF he does go berserk" Said Azazel.
"Alright, do as you wish" Said Sirzechs as he stood up and started to walk away.
"The meeting is over, that's all I wanted to say" Said Sirzechs before leaving the room.
"Can't catch a break can we?" Asked Azazel as he slumped done his chair.
"By the way did Issei wake up?" Asked Yasaka.
"To tell you the truth... yes but... he's in another world" Said Tannin.
"What does that mean?" Asked Odin Curiously.
"Ophis offered him a vacation to her favorite peaceful and quiet world but her teleportation magic was tempered with from the other side and he was sent to another world along with Ddraig, Ophis now is trying to find him and she even asked Great red for help" Informed Tannin.
"That's... a lot to take in... another possible war is approaching and two of the strongest people are gone..." Said Michael.
"But even if Issei is currently gone that doesn't mean that he won't return and go berserk after hearing about his parents so we should come up with some kind of plan" Said Azazel.
"I'm thinking of some kind of net or device that can drain the target's energy and magic in a matter of seconds but we need materials for that" Said Azazel.
"I can give you the materials you are looking for" Said Odin.
"By the way Tannin, you can help Ingvild train her sacred gear which can control dragons maybe that may help in calming Issei down" Said Azazel.
"Alright, It'll be done" Said Tannin.
"Now everyone should erect magic barriers around their territories and inform the people of a possible war, recruit as many as possible, and train them as much as you can" Said Tannin seriously.
"Alright then let's get to work" Said Michael before everyone teleported to their respective factions.
But behind the doors, a certain Maou heard everything.
'heard that? the Red dragon is away for the moment so why not prepare for his return? just accept me and my power, together we can do unimaginable things!' Said the voice.
"B-but I can't... I am the Lucifer I can-" Spoke Sirzechs only to be interrupted by the voice.
'That doesn't matter anymore, you are too weak to defeat the Red dragon as you are now, you won't be able to protect anyone, not even your wife and child' Said the voice.
Sirezechs stood there in silence thinking about it.
'With me my power and my guidance you can create a special weapon to Which he won't stand a chance, you just have to accept me' Said the voice.
Suddenly images of millions of devil corpses were displayed in Sirzechs mind, and a single Red dragon was burning them all, slaughtering them without any mercy.
More images of his friends and family were shown dead such as Serafall, Ajuka, Asmodeus, Venelana, Zeoticus, Grayfia, and Milicas.
The Redhead Maou had a hard time breathing and controlling his anger as more and more images were shown to him.
'Yes, YES! Break Sirzechs Lucifer! lose all reason all your reason and sanity! KEKEKEKE' Shouted the voice as it cackled darkly.
The last image appeared in his mind Wich was the breaking point for the Maou.
"Brother... please save me... I'm scared.. I don't like it here... why aren't you here to save me? why aren't you avenging me!? why isn't Issei coming!? why did Issei leave me to die!?" Shouted Rias with a pained voice as blood tears rolled down her cheeks
Sirzechs could only stare at the image as his mind was slowly breaking until finally... his mind broke..
'So what do you say? do you accept me?' Asked The voice once more.
"Yes... Please lend me your power" Said Sirzechs as anger that all remained in him took over.
'As you wish you foolish king' Said the voice.
Suddenly the redhead Maou opened his mouth to release a pained scream but nothing was heared, no scream could escape his mouth.
Suddenly Sirzechs fell on the ground and passed out.
...TIME SKIP ONE DAY...
Some light steps were heard walking around.
Opening his eyes the redhead saw Grayfia bringing some medicine.
"Oh! you finally woke up!" Said Grayfia as she hugged her husband tightly.
"Yes, I'm fine now Grayfia" Said Sirzechs as he hugged her back.
"How long was I asleep?" Asked the Maou.
"For one day but still, you should take it easy, I found you on the ground near the meeting room so I brought you here" Said Grayfia.
"Ah, I see, maybe you could make some tea please?" Asked Sirzechs.
"Sure thing, I'll bring it right away" Said Grayfia as she left the room.
After a moment of silence...
"Hehe hahahahaha HAHAHAA! it worked! I took over his body! I can't believe it was this easy! now I just need to somehow retrieve my original body and get my powers back" Said Sirzechs?
"Ahh, how splendid, the destruction is nearing and the end of the world is inevitable, but judging from his memories Trihexa was killed.... hmm, it will be harder and will change some of my plans but it still should work out even without that beast" Said The redhead.
Suddenly the doors opened and Grayfia walked in with a tray in her hands.
"Who are you talking to?" Asked Grayfia as she brought the tea.
"Oh nothing I'm just worried about the paperwork" Said Sirzechs?
"Ah, you don't need to worry about that for a couple of days, I asked Ajuka and Serafall to take care of those so you can relax and take a rest, no need to overwork yourself" Said Grayfia.
"Alright, thank you, I will take a nap now then" Said Sirzechs?
"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore" Said the ice queen before leaving the room.
"That's great, I have some time to re-organize the plan" Said Sirzechs?
"I can already feel it coming, how exciting will it be" Said Sirzechs before summoning a note book and a pen from a pocket dimension and started to write his plan.
The destruction is nearing and people aren't ready for it...
