Chapter: 92

-Hela-

Hela sat on the throne of Asgard with a very annoyed expression on her face. Her beloved Layla had vanished over a week ago now, and she demanded answers.

"So you're telling me you have no idea what went wrong with the Bifrost?" Hela glared down at the Asgardian magic engineers, who were all looking back at her nervously.

"No, Your Highness. We check the Bifrost every single month, and it has never failed. This was truly an anomaly! The woman's sister even took the Bifrost down to Midgard a few days after the incident, and it was working fine then!" The head scientist explained. The other two men nodded vehemently as well.

Hela refrained from casting them out for their sheer incompetence. She couldn't afford to do that. These three Magi-Scientists were the last of their kind unfortunately. All the millions of others were wiped out when Asgard was destroyed 1000 years ago! Without these three idiots, the Bifrost would eventually break down, and she'd have no one to fix it! Its blend of magic and technology would be lost forever!

"Get out of my sight and do what I asked! I demand all three of you immediately take apprentices and train them in everything you know!" Hela ordered them.

"We've tried, my Queen! Oh, how we have tried!" Another one of the engineers said solemnly.

"Yes! No man wants to learn from us. They only want to become warriors and swing swords all day!"

Hela facepalmed… Sometimes she forgot that the majority of men in her culture were all idiots. "Then take some WOMEN as apprentices!" Hela ordered them.

"But our guild has always been run by men…"

"That's right!"

"Women shouldn't be learning such a complicated craft!"

And now Hela was finding out that the engineers were also sexist… She really wanted to stab them all right now!

"Let me be very clear with you three…" Hela said menacingly as she stood from her throne. Her dark armor formed around her. "You will take three women as apprentices, and you will treat them right! Because if you don't…. I WILL KILL YOU ALL!" Hela screamed loudly.

The three men all paled in fear before they turned around and sprinted out of the throne room…

Hela sighed as her armor once again disappeared, and she sat back down.

Ruling was a lot more tedious than she imagined it to be.

Hela hoped that Layla was alright wherever she ended up. Azazel had told her this wasn't the first time Layla had been randomly teleported away in an accident. Hela hoped this did not become a pattern.

....

–Penemue–

Penemue sat at the kitchen table and waited for the man she had come to visit. Her younger sister Layla had apparently become close friends with this human. They were also going into business together. That was nice.

Penemue always felt like Layla needed more friends. When her sister was in Heaven and then later the Grigori, she had exactly… zero.

Penemue admits that she and all of Layla's other siblings might have been a tad bit overprotective…

Penemue hadn't been waiting long before she heard the man come down the stairs and head towards the kitchen. She noticed he was mumbling to himself groggily with signs of an obvious hangover. Layla had mentioned to her that this was a man who liked to party. Especially after Layla healed him after he supposedly put a palladium powered reactor in his chest.

Was this human completely insane!? Maybe he was, but he was also really smart, and they were going to need his help.

Tony Stark walked into the kitchen and immediately headed to the coffee pot she'd put on without sparing her a glance. "Nice! Pepper must have come over earlier and made coffee." Tony poured himself a cup and took a big gulp without even bothering to add cream or sugar.

"Hello, Mr. Stark," Penemue slyly called out to the man.

"Jesus Christ!" Tony jumped in the air in fright. His coffee pot went flying but a quick bit of telekinesis kept it from smashing on the floor. Penemue levitated the pot back to the counter while Tony caught his breath.

"Shit, Layla! Don't scare me like that! You could have texted that you were coming over. How'd you even sneak past Jarvis?" Tony said while pointing to the security camera in the room's corner. 

She scoffed. "Any skilled enough supernatural being can easily make themselves invisible to modern cameras. If they couldn't, the supernatural world would have been exposed years ago." She explained. "Also, you have me mistaken for my youngest sister. I am not Layla; I am Penemue," she said. She knew she and Layla looked very alike at a quick glance.

Tony eyed her warily when he realized she wasn't her sister. They had never met, after all, and she did just randomly show up at his house.

"Ok, Layla's big sister. What do you want from me?" Tony asked.

"Layla will be a bit…indisposed for a while, and hence I will be filling in for her in the meantime. Layla was supposed to show up in court in a week, but that won't be happening. As you can tell, we look so much alike that it shouldn't be too noticeable if I took her place. We'll also be working together on the other venture that you and Layla started. I have to admit, space travel intrigues me." Penemue said. She'd been managing the Grigori's various businesses for hundreds of years now. Impersonating her sister and running a multi-billion-dollar corporation should be no problem for her.

Tony gave Penemue a scrutinizing look as he inspected her up and down. "Hmmm, you might have to work on your disguise a bit. Layla has bigger boobs than you…"

Penemue glared at the man for his audacity. She could tell this was going to be an annoying venture. She hoped Layla returned soon…

Bab 93: Chapter: 93

Chapter: 93

We had made it back to the Grigori HQ in the Underworld safely. Raynare didn't screw up the teleportation—surprisingly—and the circle managed to send us here safely. A few of my siblings who usually stood guard in the teleportation room smiled at my arrival and welcomed me back. As for Raynare, they just gave her some dismissive looks.

She had a bit of a negative reputation as an annoying fangirl…

Baraqiel immediately came running when news of his daughter appearing in the headquarters spread. She was the only Fallen Angel in existence–Half or otherwise–to have become a devil's slave. She was a lot more famous around here than she thought. The various Fallen Angels around the Headquarters were surprised and happy to see her free from the "Devil's Taint." 

The strange thing about Baraqiel was that the guy looked old. That was weird for Fallen Angels considering most of us stopped aging in our physical 20's.

Except for Mittlet, the eternal loli, of course…

Baraqiel looked like he was in his 50's, and it was strange to see a cadre of his stature with tears in his eyes, openly weeping.

"Akeno! I'm so glad you're back!" Baraqiel cried his daughter's name as he embraced her in a loving hug. It was well known that his biggest regret was losing his daughter to the devils all those years ago. He had become a lot more withdrawn after that. And now here he was completely breaking his stoic character with tears in his eyes as he cried in happiness.

This would have been a more heartfelt reunion to watch if I didn't notice that Akeno was openly scowling as her father hugged her. "Get off me!" She shouted and shoved him away.

He let her do that, of course. There's no way she was actually strong enough to budge him if he didnt let her.

She had taken a big hit to her physical and magical strength after losing her queen piece. Akeno was now solidly in Mid-Class powerwise where before she could have been in the Low-Ultimate range if she fully utilized all of her heritage along with her demonic powers from Rias.

The truth about the evil pieces was that they did not automatically make someone stronger just by getting them. The evil pieces drew power from the "King" and siphoned it slowly into the reincarnated devil over time to give the illusion that the evil piece was the source of the reincarnated devil's power.

The much darker truth was that the power came from the souls high-class devils would regularly consume, and then it would pass through the kings to the peerage members. The evil pieces weren't called "evil" for no reason. They were aptly named for what they did…

Despite shoving Baraqiel off of herself, I noticed that Akeno wasn't telling him to outright fuck off and never talk to her again. I took that as a potential sign that she would eventually reconnect with her father. There was plenty of time after all since we were basically ageless. For now though, I figured I'd let them talk alone at their own pace. 

Akeno had also chosen to leave with our group after finding out the truth about devils from Grayfia. I highly doubted she'd ever return to the Devils, but "highly doubt" didn't mean 100% sure. I still don't completely trust her. Not quite yet.

I didn't want her seeing any of the things that Azazel had down in his lab. It was an open secret that Azazel was obsessed with sacred gears and was always trying to make his own. What most people didn't know was just how close he was to succeeding. Once he succeeded it was pretty much game over for the devils… 

If every Fallen Angel had a sacred gear–even a mediocre one–it would be an insane boost to our strength. The devils might outright declare war against us to prevent that if they knew how close Azazel was. 

"Why don't we give the father-daughter pair some time to reconnect? I wanted to check out Azazel's lab," I said to the rest of the group. "Raynare, you can fuck off now, though." I said to her as I made a shooing motion. Sif stifled a small laugh at my actions. Asia gave me a pout—probably for my open swearing.

Raynare glared at me.

"Oh no! I heard that Master Azazel is now missing after he went looking for you! I'm not leaving till I make sure the man I love is safe!" She declared loudly.

Very loudly!

Her declaration turned a bunch of heads nearby. My Fallen Angel siblings all around us started snickering at Raynare. Raynare didn't care, though, as she stood there and gave me a defiant look like I couldn't make her leave.

Yes I could. I could just knock her out and leave her here, but… whatever—it didn't really make a difference whether she came with us or not.

"Fine, you can check out the lab with me, but don't touch anything. Last time I accidentally touched one of Azazel's experiments, it sent me to a graveyard on an alternate earth where I had to fight an evil wizard who just came back from the dead." I said.

Two of my three companions looked at me strangely after I said all that.

I raised my eyebrow at their looks. "What?"

Raynare scoffed. "You're so full of shit! It probably just teleported you to the Arctic or something. And you got lost trying to find your way back. Evil wizards? Yeah, right!"

"Can evil wizards really come back from the dead? I thought only our Lord Jesus could do that?" Asia asked with concern. 

"Of course not!" – "Yes, they can." Raynare and I said at the same time. She glared at me again, but I just laughed. She'd find out about the existence of Earth Marvel eventually. She was only around 100 years older than I was, so it was no surprise that she didn't know the truth of our world yet. Plus none of our oldest siblings liked dealing with her because she was so annoying.

I led my small group towards Azazel's lab in the base's main basement. Down there, the walls were reinforced with extra magic and concrete in case any of his experiments violently exploded. That was good, because a few of them had.

I placed my hand on the scanner in front of his lab, and the doors swung open for us.

"Welcome, Layla," a robotic voice called out through the intercom as I entered his lab. It was just as cluttered as I figured it would be. Half-finished sacred gears were strewn about across every available surface. Along with that, dozens of old coffee cups that probably hadn't been washed in years could be seen all over the room. 

"Seriously though, don't touch anything," I said as I carefully stepped around the piles of sensitive equipment everywhere.

"I thought only the Lord could make sacred gears," Asia said in wonder. "There are so many in this room!" Her eyes were wide as she looked at the literal piles of them all around. 

"Azazel is very close to getting a properly working one. I'd say in the next few decades, he'll be able to start pumping them out en masse." I explained.

"Haha! And then the Fallen angels will be unstoppable! We'll use Lord Azazel's Gears to take over the world!" Raynare cheered with a look of rapture. 

I'd have to find a way to snap her out of her Fallen Angel supremacy mindset eventually. Maybe I could have Sif train her. Maybe a couple of dozen beatings from the blond goddess would snap some sense into my idiot borderline evil sister…

"Layla, is this it?" Sif called out from where she wandered across the room. She pointed towards a small black and red ball about the size of a baseball.

Yep, that was it. I used [Observe] to check just in case.

[Artificial SpaceTime Sacred Gear - Created by Azazel. This sacred gear is incomplete and is missing a proper focus. It also needs a true wielder to work correctly.]

Missing a focus and a proper wielder, huh? Now how would I go about fixing that?

[I might have an idea on how to get it working.]

There was the system coming in clutch as always.
