Capítulo 36: [36] : Kabbalistic Formula

Draconic Deus. 

Underworld. 

[***] 

"This spot should be fine," Vali said to Aiden as the latter looked around. 

Right now, they were in the Underworld, a place where the sky was purple and lacked a day-night cycle. 

Demonic energy saturated the air with a heavy density, making it clear that this was the origin and home of devils. 

They were in a deserted area, surrounded by a forest that encircled a large lake and a few scattered hills. 

Kurumi, Arthur, Bikou, Le Fay, and Kuroka watched from a distance. 

Aiden could make out Kurumi, Kuroka, and Le Fay conversing about something, but he turned his attention back to Vali. 

"The Underworld has some pretty scenic natural spots," Aiden commented casually as he took in the view. "I always imagined it as a living hell, you know, lava everywhere, fire all around…" 

Although he had visited the Underworld before, he couldn't help but voice those words as he admired the enchanting scenery. 

Vali, who was already walking away to begin the training match, glanced back slightly and replied: 

"You've never been to the Underworld? Or are you just not familiar with it? Even though you're over a century old, you're one of those, what's the word in Japan…? NEETs? Otaku?" 

Vali's words left Aiden speechless. 

Even Albion agreed with the observation, surprised that he had never heard of Aiden before. 

Normally, people whose strength rivals that of a Satan or a god are quite well-known in the world. 

"Don't call me a NEET! Otaku maybe… but never a NEET! The reason I'm unfamiliar with it is because I'm a foreigner," Aiden replied casually, though slightly offended. 

Vali tilted his head, reflecting for a moment as he recalled Azazel's words about the identity of the mysterious man who fought against Great Red. 

'It couldn't be… could it?' he thought, quickly shaking off the idea. 

However, the thought filled him with excitement: if Aiden really was that man, perhaps he could help him grow stronger. 

'[It's not impossible],' Albion murmured in Vali's mind, his tone calm yet thoughtful. '[However, if he truly is that person, I can only say that coincidences can be unsettling. At least we can be sure he has no ill intentions.]' 

Vali nodded at Albion's words, clenching his fists with determination as he prepared for the battle. 

Aiden also stopped speaking, reflecting on which technique to use. 

He knew he had to hold back to avoid ending the fight in an instant, as he wanted to gather data on the [Sacred Gear] in use. 

'I'll use my magic formula. After all, I rarely ever use it since I'm always employing [Gate of Babylon] or the [Angels],' he thought to himself, a faint smile forming on his lips. 

In the past, Aiden had created a unique technique called [Kabbalistic Formula], inspired by the Kabbalah and the Tree of Life. (Just the name) 

While fully explaining this formula was an extensive task, its function could be summarized as a fascinating magical system that combined imagination, logical calculations, and manipulation of universal laws to manifest supernatural phenomena. 

The principle was simple: the less logical the created spell was, the more magical energy it drained. 

Aiden had designed this system as a means to harness his human side, namely his magical power. 

Although he could also fuel it with his spiritual energy (Reiryoku), the main goal was to make use of his magical energy, which usually went unused except when activating [Gate of Babylon] or employing [Kaleidoscope] to travel between worlds.

Aiden created this system more out of whim than necessity. 

His [Angels] and [Demon Kings] already possessed sufficient offensive power, so there wasn't a real need to complicate things. 

However, during those 100 years of boredom, he decided to finally materialize this concept. 

Now then, what would you prefer? 

To make complex calculations about the laws of the universe and focus all your imagination? 

Or to simply wave the <Divine Authorities>, which activated by sheer will? 

Aiden preferred the latter, which is why he rarely used the [Kabbalistic Formula], despite having created extremely efficient spells with this system. 

In general, he found it more practical to rely on his [Angels], but on this occasion, he decided to use his magic. 

He didn't want to end the fight immediately and was looking for a more interesting challenge. 

'I could also use the [Touki] I've been practicing…' Aiden thought as he watched Vali, who was smiling with evident excitement. 

"Well, shall we begin?" Aiden said calmly. 

Vali responded by activating [Divine Dividing] instantly. 

"Of course!" he exclaimed enthusiastically as bright blue crystalline wings emerged swiftly from his back. 

[*] 

Kurumi watched the battle with a calm smile. 

She wasn't surprised, after all, she knew her husband was stronger. 

It wasn't like Vali was fighting with everything he had at that moment, but even so, he was taking a beating. 

Aiden attacked Vali while using his magic to summon magical constructs of various elements. 

However, lightning was the one he was using the most. 

"[-ᚦ-ᚱ-ᚺ-]." 

From multiple magical circles adorned with runes and Kabbalistic symbols, lightning spears shot out at high speed, in hundreds of projectiles. 

Vali dodged them while flying with his [Divine Dividing], and those he couldn't avoid, he caught with his hands, dividing their power and absorbing the spell's energy. 

However, the overwhelming quantity forced him to alternate between dodging and using his own demonic power to cast spells while trying to close the distance with Aiden. 

Since he wasn't using his [Balance Breaker] yet, he needed direct contact with his target to divide its strength. 

"It's amazing…" Le Fay murmured with evident fascination, her eyes sparkling as she admired the intricate magical circles. 

Then, she turned to Kurumi with genuine curiosity and asked: 

"Kurumi-sama, is Aiden-sama really human? Is he calculating that magical formula on his own?" 

Although lightning spells weren't particularly difficult for her, what truly impressed her was the complexity of the magical circles Aiden was creating. 

Kurumi noticed that, even though everyone kept their eyes on the battle, they were paying attention to the conversation. 

Calmly, she responded: 

"Danna-sama is constantly calculating to construct the spells. But in this technique, it's also necessary to imagine the magic's form. The calculations are used to further enhance its effect." 

Le Fay nodded, intrigued, and continued asking questions that piqued her interest, while Kurumi answered with calm and patience. 

Kuroka, driven by her curiosity, jumped in without hesitation: 

"Kurumi, you and Aiden are married, nyaa~?" The question carried no hidden intention; it was pure curiosity. 

"Of course. Danna-sama and I have been deeply in love forever. Naturally, we're married and enjoy a life full of happiness," Kurumi replied with a serene smile. 

"Wow, that sounds like a fairy tale," Le Fay commented, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "If it's not too much trouble, could I ask how long you've been together exactly? I'd love to know." 

Kurumi closed her eyes for a moment, as if reviewing an internal record, and then replied with absolute precision: 

"Danna-sama and I have been married for exactly 95 years, 7 months, 2 days, 12 hours, and 34 seconds."

The accuracy of the response was a bit unsettling, enough to make Le Fay twist her lips uncomfortably. 

Kuroka, however, simply let out a light laugh before turning her attention back to the battle. 

At that moment, Aiden conjured a net of lightning in the sky, designed to block Vali and limit his ability to fly. 

Vali, determined to ignore the obstacle, attempted to divide the spell by touching it directly with his [Divine Dividing], but the net moved nimbly, dodging his arm and attacking him from another direction, wrapping him in electric shocks that paralyzed his body. 

"Ugh, that had to hurt! Those spells aren't to be taken lightly, huh? Look at that face of pain, I almost feel sorry for him... almost. But hey, why doesn't he activate the [Balance Breaker]? If he keeps this up, there's no way he'll get close," Bikou commented with a half-smile while floating carelessly on his flying cloud, enjoying the show. 

"He's probably just gauging his options, but Aiden isn't giving him room to have fun," Arthur remarked, adjusting his glasses with an unshakable calm. 

The electric net ended up completely wrapping around Vali, immobilizing him mid-air like prey caught in a trap. 

"[-ᚦ-ᚱ-ᚺ-]," Aiden pronounced firmly. 

Immediately, a chain of energy emerged from a magic circle beneath Vali's feet, who floated over 100 meters high. 

The chain moved swiftly, wrapping around his legs and binding him tightly. 

Under Aiden's command, the chains pulled him directly toward his position. 

Aiden clenched his fist, and a white aura began to surround his body, increasing his stats by 10 levels and pushing him even further beyond. 

"Oh... [Touki] as well? He has experience manipulating ki (life energy)," Bikou murmured, impressed by Aiden's displayed skill. 

However, Kurumi interrupted his thoughts with a casual comment: 

"Danna-sama has been practicing ki control for less than a week." 

"What…?" 

[*] 

"He's very strong…" Vali murmured, struggling to free himself from the chains that imprisoned him. 

"[Yes, and I can assure you he's not fighting seriously. The power he's building up in that punch is overwhelming. Use the [Balance Breaker]. If you don't, you'll lose to that blow]," Albion responded calmly, though his warning was clear. 

Vali decided to trust Albion's instincts, which matched his own: that punch was not something to take lightly. 

"Balance Break!" Vali shouted as he continued being dragged by the chains. 

"[Vanishing Dragon]," Albion's voice resonated with an almost solemn calm. 

A blue light began to emanate from Vali's back, quickly spreading throughout his body. 

His power increased drastically, approaching the level of a Satan Class, though not quite reaching it. 

Aiden watched him with interest, and for a moment, he remembered Issei's [Balance Breaker]. 

With a smile, he decided to wait and test Vali's endurance with his next punch reinforced with [Touki]. 

"¡¡[Balance Breaker]!!" roared Albion. 

—Boom! 

Vali's body was enveloped in a brilliant white armor adorned with blue jewels at strategic points. 

His wings grew larger and more majestic. 

"¡[Divide]!." 

"¡[Divide]!." 

The nets and chains that had restrained him began to disintegrate, divided by the power of the [Balance Breaker]. 

The energy of the spells flowed directly into Vali's body, further strengthening his aura. 

"¡Hahaha!" Vali laughed with euphoria as he launched himself directly at Aiden, disappearing and reappearing in front of him in the blink of an eye. 

"You're brave… but also reckless." 

—Boom! 

The fists of both clashed with devastating force, generating a shockwave that destroyed the ground around them, forming a massive crater. 

—Bang! 

Nearby trees were uprooted, and the water from the nearby lake was launched into the air as if an explosion had erupted in the area. 

"¡¡Kuuuuhhh!!" 

The impact was too much for Vali. 

Despite dividing the force of Aiden's attack, his own fist couldn't withstand the clash and was flung back, with part of his armor shattered. 

"[-ᚦ-ᚱ-ᚺ-]," declared Aiden, creating a new chain that wrapped around Vali and hurled him back toward him. 

—Bang! 

The next blow landed directly on Vali's helmet, shattering it. 

Without giving him time to recover, Aiden manipulated the chains and began dragging him across the terrain as if he were a toy. 

Vali, however, managed to free himself once again, dividing and absorbing the energy of the spell. 

But in the face of Aiden's overwhelming strength and the sheer number of his magical constructs, his efforts seemed futile. 

With overwhelming calm, Aiden continued using his [Kabbalistic Formula] to summon lightning and seemingly simple natural phenomena, yet incredibly versatile. 

Although they weren't extremely powerful spells, Aiden's control and precision kept Vali completely cornered. 

But after a while, Aiden grew bored. Besides, he already had enough data on the [Sacred Gear] in use, so he decided to end the training. 

… 

Aiden, who still hadn't moved from the spot where the fight began, finally took a step forward. 

A golden glow shone in his right hand, and in the blink of an eye, a short sword appeared. 

He swung it swiftly, stopping Vali's blow as he appeared in front of him, launching a combo of attacks. 

—Clang!

"¡[Divide]!" 

—Clang! 

—Clang! 

Both exchanged blows. 

Vali, moving at incredible speed, flew around Aiden, attacking from all directions. 

His movements left blurry silhouettes in his wake as he divided his power, absorbing it and accumulating it within himself. 

However, the power was so immense that he had to release some of it through his wings to avoid his body exploding from the overload. 

—Clang!

The fists covered by Vali's armor and Aiden's sword, reinforced with [Touki], sparked as they clashed once more. 

Aiden spun on his axis and swiftly delivered a direct kick to Vali's stomach. 

—Bang! 

The impact sent him flying into the sky, breaking part of his armor and leaving him disoriented, his eyes white as a mix of blood and vomit spilled from his mouth. 

"[Vali!]" Albion called, trying to wake him up. 

Vali's eyes shot open, and he quickly steadied himself in the air. 

He coughed violently, blood spilling from his mouth. 

"How overwhelming…!" Vali murmured, staring at Aiden from above. "He's only using [Touki] and a bit of magic… and even so, I don't stand the slightest chance." 

Their gazes met, and Aiden, seemingly calm, observed him. 

"I'll end this here… I have to head home soon. I think one of my women is waiting for me for dinner. I can't just leave her there, can I?" Aiden whispered these words, but Vali heard them with total clarity. 

"Hit me with one of your most polished attacks!" Vali shouted, his armor glowing in a bright blue as it regenerated. 

"As you wish, White Dragon Emperor. Try one of my spells. Attempt to divide it with your power." 

Aiden activated a magic circle above his head, a radiant halo that seemed to envelop him. 

He felt his brain accelerate, his perception of the world becoming clearer. 

His thoughts flowed at a dizzying speed, and calculations were performed in fractions of a second. 

This was [Thought Acceleration]. 

Aiden was about to cast a spell that required many calculations, so he activated this ability to optimize his focus. 

Five golden portals appeared behind him, and from each emerged a sword, floating in circles around Aiden. 

He began to calculate, imagining the swords moving and slowly ascending toward the sky. 

In no time, they aligned in the shape of a five-pointed star. 

The swords followed his orders instantly. 

Aiden, while watching them, continued giving them directions through calculations and pure imagination. 

The swords, perfectly aligned in the shape of a star, positioned themselves in the sky, with a magic circle glowing at the center. 

The circle, composed of Kabbalistic inscriptions that began to spin slowly, emitted a harmonious sound, as if the universe itself was responding to the invocation. 

Vali tensed immediately as he felt the overwhelming amount of magical power emanating from the spell. 

Aiden watched the magic circle descending from the sky, with the swords acting as extensions of the spell. 

The circle positioned itself in front of him like a portal of pure energy. 

With a precise gesture, Aiden pointed his sword in Vali's direction. 

"¡[-ᚾ-ᚠ-ᚢ-ᚦ -ᚨ-ᚱ-]!" Aiden shouted with imposing force. 

—Boom! 

From the circle, a gigantic ray in the shape of a sword emerged at a terrifying speed. 

The astral blade shone with a blinding glow, as if made of condensed light, with jagged edges that vibrated across multiple dimensions, as if reality itself twisted around it. 

"¡¡¡Ahhhhh!!!" Vali screamed as he saw the attack approaching at such dizzying speed that he couldn't follow it with his eyes. 

His voice reflected his determination as he channeled all his power. 

""¡¡[Half Dimension]!!"" 

Albion and Vali shouted in unison, using their ability to divide the attack, separating its space, energy, and size. 

They attempted to reduce its power, but it was in vain. 

—Flash! Spark! Boom! 

The ray, which resembled a sword, struck Vali's armor head-on. 

The force of the impact disintegrated the surrounding hills, leaving a luminous trail in the shape of a star. 

The light shone intensely for a few seconds before fading, as if time itself had been consumed by the power of the attack. 

… 

… 

… 

"Hah… hah…" 

Vali was breathing heavily. 

His armor, which had regenerated several times, was shattered once again, and his energy was quickly depleting. 

Frustration consumed him. 

Despite his power, he was now painfully aware of how weak he was compared to Aiden and how far he still was from being able to kill Rizevim with his own hands. 

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him, floating in the air with complete serenity. 

"How about it? Are you satisfied? You don't need to feel disappointed or anything like that. You're still young, and you already have this strength. You're much stronger than most," Aiden commented casually. 

"You didn't even move throughout the entire fight… Except at the end, when you completely overwhelmed me," Vali said with a tired smile, his tone mixing frustration and admiration. "You toyed with me, dragging me with that chain, pulling me around, and hitting me with those spells. I couldn't even make you use your full strength. That last spell… I felt like it could reduce me to dust just by grazing me, but in the end, it barely affected my armor. It's clear you held back." 

He paused, taking a deep breath, before adding, "Even so, it was entertaining. It's been a long time since I had a fight that left me like this. I think I can get stronger. Let's fight again… when the time comes."

There was frustration in his words, but not a trace of anger. 

Aiden watched him in silence, not responding immediately. 

As for holding back, it was obvious that Aiden had held back. 

That last spell, constructed from the [Kabbalistic Formula], ignored shields, magical or physical barriers. 

It struck the target directly, cutting not only matter but also concepts like "protection" or "invulnerability." 

Vali, at that moment, hadn't been able to resist it, as he didn't have time to divide it with his [Divine Dividing]. 

Why was he still alive? 

Because Aiden had simply modified the spell so as not to kill him. 

It only destroyed his armor, leaving him wounded but alive. 

"Don't you have any other way to get stronger?" Aiden asked with curiosity. 

He had already gathered enough information about the basic use of the [Sacred Gear] and its [Balance Breaker]. 

Additionally, he had read that the wielders of the [Boosted Gear] and the [Divine Dividing] could break the Heavenly Dragon's seal and enter a form called [Juggernaut Drive], reaching a power capable of temporarily killing God, though at the cost of their own life energy. 

Vali opened his mouth to respond, but Albion spoke first. 

"[That form is Vali's last resort. He won't use it unless it's necessary. This is just training, so there's no need]," explained the Heavenly White Dragon with a firm voice. 

Aiden nodded, understanding, and looked at Vali, who was still injured and exhausted. 

He decided to end the fight once and for all, since his main interest was to analyze the [Sacred Gear]. 

Moreover, he wanted to go home; he still had to have dinner, and although he had told the others they could start without him, someone might be waiting out of courtesy. 

"Well, let's finish this here. Anyway… I won, right? Now fulfill your part of the deal. Oh, I want to analyze it in its base form and its [Balance Breaker] form," Aiden said, extending a hand to help Vali up. 

As he did, he thought silently: 

'[Zafkiel: Dalet].' 

Aiden's left eye transformed into a golden clock that glowed intensely. 

The moment Vali took his hand, his wounds began to rewind in time, restoring his body to a completely healthy state, as if he had never been harmed. 

Vali was utterly stunned to see and feel how his body regenerated in such an extraordinary way. 

Even Albion, though normally unshakable, remained silent, surprised at what had just occurred. 

"This is incredible… It's just like Kuroka said, it's as if my wounds never happened," Vali murmured, looking at his hands and restored body in amazement. 

"Well, that's exactly what happened," Aiden replied naturally, as if it was no big deal. "I rewound the time of your wounds to a point where they didn't exist. Simple as that." 

Vali looked at him. "Are you… a god of time? Or from the Agares clan? No… you're not a devil." 

He shifted his gaze to the distance, where he could see his companions approaching, accompanied by Kurumi, who also seemed calm and smiling as she walked toward them.

… 

…

End of the chapter.  

(•_•) 

A/N: 

The [Kabbalistic Formula] was a "personal" invention designed to prevent the protagonist's magical power from being wasted. 

Here's a summary: 

The [Kabbalistic Formula] is the ability to transform imagination into reality through a rational process that employs magical formulas. 

It's a magic that moves on the boundary between the logical and the impossible, breaking down the barriers of the physical world by turning abstract ideas into tangible manifestations. 

As long as the user of this system can calculate it and imagine it, anything they think of could become possible. 

Although, of course, the more illogical the spell being created, the more power will be needed to execute it. 

Aiden could generate many things with this ability, such as Jujutsu innate techniques, for example... 

Thanks for reading~ 

Peace out.

Capítulo 37: [37] : Le Fay receives a gift

Draconic Deus

Underworld.

[***]

—Complain!

Vali and Aiden, after finishing their confrontation, observed the scene in front of them with confusion.

"…What the hell is wrong with Bikou…?" Vali asked, speechless, as he saw the strange situation.

Bikou was immobilized, trapped by multiple white hands emerging from Kurumi's shadow.

Meanwhile, Kurumi, completely oblivious to Bikou's dilemma, was gently wiping the dust off Aiden's face.

"Bikou got really mad when Aiden hit you with that dangerous spell that disintegrated your armor, nyaa," Kuroka explained, waving her two tails back and forth with a mischievous smile and a carefree tone.

Hearing this, Vali sighed, already guessing the reasons behind Bikou's behavior.

Even so, he couldn't help but think that at least he had a good comrade.

"Yes… Bikou-sama tried to confront Aiden for what he called an 'attempted murder,' but Kurumi-sama managed to stop him before he could make a scene. Still, I must admit that spell was incredibly powerful; it's amazing that Vali-sama only suffered a few damages," Le Fay commented admiringly, adjusting her hat as she floated calmly on her broomstick.

Vali shook his head, knowing full well that attack could have completely taken him out if Aiden hadn't held back.

"Aiden held back on that attack. He only broke my armor," Vali said, with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

He wasn't angry with Aiden but with himself for not being strong enough.

He clenched his fists, frustrated.

Soon after, Kurumi released Bikou, who, as if nothing had happened, began mocking Vali shamelessly.

"Kakaka! You got your ass kicked, Vali. They dragged you across the floor like a dirty rag!" Bikou exclaimed, laughing loudly.

"His sword technique is really good," Arthur intervened, recalling Aiden's precise movements.

As the wielder of [Caliburn], the young knight felt a strong curiosity about training with him.

Vali glanced at Bikou, who kept mocking his defeat, and issued a challenge:

"If you manage to land a hit on Aiden, I'll grant you a request."

For a moment, Bikou seemed tempted but ultimately gave up… at least for now.

Le Fay floated gently on her magical broom toward Aiden and Kurumi, her eyes shining with curiosity.

"Aiden-sama, that magic you used was impressive. Did you design that formula yourself? I've never seen symbols like those before," she asked in a delicate voice, holding her hat with both hands, somewhat shy but genuinely intrigued.

As a talented mage, she was fascinated by what she had witnessed.

She wanted to ask him to teach her but felt embarrassed, considering they barely knew each other.

However, the potential of that magical formula was clearly superior to common human magic.

Aiden, seeing that it was a cute girl like Le Fay, had no problem responding.

If it had been a guy, he probably would have ignored him or even kicked him away.

"That magic is called [Kabbalistic Formula]," Aiden began to explain.

"Basically, it's the ability to materialize your imagination through calculations and manipulation of universal laws. It's similar to human magic in terms of using calculations, but my formula also requires imagination and a deep understanding of the laws of the universe. The less logical a spell is, the harder it is to create and the more power it requires."

Aiden continued giving some basic examples, although without revealing the secrets behind the technique.

He wouldn't mind teaching a friend, but since he barely knew Le Fay, he decided to keep the details of the magical formula to himself for now.

Le Fay, having understood a little about how the formula worked, couldn't help but widen her eyes in amazement.

Human magic, she explained to herself, consists of calculating the laws of physics to produce supernatural phenomena.

A common mind isn't capable of performing even a fraction of these calculations, which is why demonic and sacred power from angels and devils are considered superior to human magic, as these entities simply use their imagination to create such phenomena.

However, Aiden managed to do both: imagine magic and calculate universal laws to give it logic.

'How can he process all of that so quickly?' Le Fay wondered, and she couldn't resist questioning him directly.

Aiden, with a calm smile, replied:

"Well, there are spells that help me with that, of course. For example, [Cognitive Acceleration and Synaptic Restoration]."

Aiden proceeded to explain.

It was a spell designed to accelerate the mage's thought processes, allowing them to calculate, analyze, and solve problems at supernatural speed.

Additionally, it included a brain-healing component that prevented extreme mental fatigue or damage, stabilizing neural connections and repairing any micro-damage that might occur during the process.

'Of course, in my case, I don't need to worry about that,' Aiden added mentally. 'My body is Level 10, and besides, [Camael] always regenerates any damage I might suffer.'

Le Fay, fascinated, finally understood how Aiden could cast so many spells so quickly.

She wasted no time and continued bombarding him with questions, completely unaware of the amused looks some were giving them.

Arthur, meanwhile, observed the scene and slightly shook his head.

Despite everything, he didn't stop her.

'As long as Le Fay is happy, that's what matters,' Arthur thought.

Ever since they left the Pendragon household, he had always blamed himself for taking her away from her peaceful life.

If learning magic made Le Fay happy, he would also be satisfied.

And since Aiden didn't show any annoyance toward his sister's constant questions, Arthur decided to stay out of it.

Aiden, for his part, continued explaining the spells he used to calculate his magic in combat without showing any signs of irritation.

"Ugh, my head hurts just thinking about it! What on earth is this [Thought Acceleration] and [Independent Parallel Thought] thing, nyaa? Isn't it basically like having some sort of computer in your head, nyaa?" said Kuroka, crossing her arms and flicking her two tails.

Kuroka, who had been listening attentively, finally couldn't contain her disbelief.

She was stunned but also felt fortunate to be able to perform magic and youjutsu using only her imagination and instincts.

Bikou and Vali were the same, while Arthur, being a sword user, didn't show much interest.

After a while, Le Fay realized she had asked too many questions and felt embarrassed.

She quickly backed away, hiding her face behind her hat, while Kurumi teased her, prompting a few laughs from everyone.

Aiden and Kurumi began to understand why Kuroka had been attacked.

Apparently, those devils belonged to the Old Satan faction and wanted to claim the rewards offered for Kuroka's head.

As for why she was in Japan, she was investigating the disappearances of youkai and ordinary people in Yasaka's territory and Japan in general since she wanted to repay Yasaka for helping her in the past.

Hearing this, Kurumi shared what she knew: a Tamamo-No-Mae worshiper was causing trouble.

She also mentioned that one of Aiden's women, his little sister Yoshino, was a friend of Yasaka and Kunou, so Yasaka was already aware of the situation and taking action.

"So that's what it was… nyaa," said Kuroka, processing the information.

"Are they crazy…? Reviving that lunatic, the strongest youkai in Japan?" Bikou was equally shocked.

Tamamo-No-Mae was an extremely powerful youkai.

The entire youkai faction had to join forces to face her, but they couldn't defeat her—they only managed to seal her.

It was after sealing her that the Five Principal Clans decided to end her life, following the orders of the Shinto pantheon, since Tamamo-No-Mae had done things the gods could not tolerate.

Although Tamamo-No-Mae had her reasons for her evil actions, she still caused countless problems and took many lives.

"In myths, they call her an evil youkai, nyaa. But according to Yasaka, she wasn't bad at first. She just had no choice but to sacrifice certain things… and in the process, she ended up losing herself, nyaa," Kuroka explained, placing a hand on her chest with a complicated expression.

The others weren't familiar with this story, but Kuroka had heard it directly from Yasaka when she was under her care.

Aiden also knew Tamamo-No-Mae's background thanks to [Rasiel].

Her story was complicated and tragic: she was guilty, yet she wasn't.

She simply got involved with impure forces, the 'Kegare' (impurities), and as a youkai with highly advanced senjutsu, she ended up corrupted.

As for why she got involved with those forces, it was because she had no other choice.

She wasn't strong enough to protect her people, and seeing how her race was enslaved and oppressed by the [Evil Pieces], she had no choice but to seek that boost in power.

And she achieved it, but at the cost of herself.

In the end, she didn't manage to fulfill her purpose, and in her despair, she did terrible things.

She corrupted her own people, the youkai, and ordinary beings, using the Kegare to strengthen her power and unleash wars she couldn't win.

For example, she tried to orchestrate conflicts between different factions, deceiving the Fallen Angels into killing each other and fighting against the devils.

Eventually, the youkai faction had to unite to stop Tamamo-No-Mae, who was out of control.

The gods, for their part, were furious with her for involving herself with the Kegare, a force that comes from Yomi, the Shinto underworld.

Vali, listening to all the talk about what was happening in Japan and the possible resurrection of Tamamo-No-Mae, decided it would be best to inform Azazel later.

The youkai could become a valuable ally against the Chaos Brigade in the future, he thought.

If they helped them in their time of need, it might be easier to forge an alliance.

He then recalled Azazel's suggestion to infiltrate as a spy, "betraying" him in front of everyone.

According to Azazel, a meeting of the Three Factions would be held soon, and Azazel was just waiting for Kokabiel to cause some trouble in devil territory.

Once that happened, he would send Vali to stop Kokabiel's attempt to start a great war between the Three Factions.

After a while of conversation, Aiden looked at Vali, and Vali understood it was time to fulfill his part of the deal, as Aiden had agreed to fight him.

"Here, although I don't know why you want to analyze the [Divine Dividing]," said Vali, unfolding his crystallized blue wings.

"Let me do my thing. Just stay still," replied Aiden, stepping closer.

Aiden, having learned from his previous mistake analyzing the [King's Monument] and suffering terrible headaches, activated his [Independent Parallel Thought] spell and used [Analyze] on the [Divine Dividing].

Immediately, he felt an avalanche of information flooding his mind: billions of data points.

But this time, he realized that the information was being stored elsewhere, slowly filtering into his consciousness without causing the previous pain.

He knew it would take several days to process all those billions of data points that made up the [Divine Dividing].

The others around him could see how Aiden used a magic circle while touching Vali's blue wings, but none knew exactly what he was doing.

After a while, Aiden asked Vali to activate his [Balance Breaker].

Without hesitation, Vali summoned his armor, and Aiden analyzed it as well, storing another wave of data in his mind that would also filter in slowly.

"That's it, thanks," said Aiden, looking satisfied.

This would be very useful.

Though he thought he should analyze some basic [Sacred Gears] scattered around the world at some point.

"It doesn't matter, I'm just fulfilling my part of the deal," Vali replied indifferently.

He was the one who had asked for training in exchange for his request.

"But even so, this was very helpful to me," said Aiden, looking at Le Fay and then at Vali. "I owe you a small gift."

"If your team gets stronger, it'll be better for you, right?" Aiden asked, and Vali nodded without hesitation.

Aiden approached Le Fay, touched her forehead with his fingers, and instantly transmitted certain information directly to her brain.

Additionally, he used a healing spell to ensure her mind wasn't damaged.

Le Fay widened her eyes as she felt herself understanding a spell in the blink of an eye.

Though she'd have to practice it to master it, the information was already stored in her head.

"Th-This!" Le Fay looked at Aiden, unsure of what to say.

The others observed her reaction, noting she was happy but also a bit lost in surprise.

Aiden had just given her the [Cognitive Acceleration and Synaptic Restoration] spell, a very useful spell that would help her build her magic faster.

"With this spell, it'll be easier for you to develop your magic," Aiden told her, withdrawing his fingers from her forehead as he began walking toward Kurumi.

He planned to leave soon; someone might be waiting for him for dinner.

"Thank you so much, Aiden-sama!" Le Fay thanked him happily, her voice brimming with emotion.

Then, with enthusiasm, she explained to Kuroka and the others the reason for her joy, and they, understanding, also thanked Aiden.

He simply waved it off, downplaying the matter, since in his opinion, the information about a [Longinus] was much more valuable.

Arthur, especially, thanked him upon seeing his sister so happy.

"Well, we're leaving," said Aiden, taking Kurumi's hand. "It's already late, and someone is waiting for me at home."

"Visit us at our place, kitty-chan! Le Fay-chan," said Kurumi, having already befriended Le Fay and considering Kuroka a sort of pet, despite how rude she could sometimes be.

"It's Kuroka, nyaa!" Kuroka retorted with a huff.

"Yes, I'll go," Le Fay replied, smiling.

Kurumi let out a laugh, and in an instant, Aiden tore through space with his hand, opening a portal he quickly crossed hand in hand with Kurumi.

Residence - Avalon

[*]

Aiden and Kurumi stepped through the portal and appeared in the living room.

They looked around; it was deserted, but voices could be heard coming from the dining room.

However, Aiden sensed a strange presence among the girls, so he quickly materialized in front of them, where they were gathered feeding a loli in a gothic dress.

"…." Aiden just stood silently, observing the scene.

"Oh, Nushi-sama, you've returned!" exclaimed Mukuro, with a smile that seemed to light up everything around her.

Without waiting for a response, she threw herself into his arms, wrapping him in a warm, emotion-filled hug.

Aiden responded naturally, placing a hand on her head and stroking her silky golden hair as his gaze softened.

Then, in a calm tone, he asked:

"What is Ophis doing here…?"

Miku, who had Ophis on her lap while Kaguya and Yuzuru fed her with a playful airplane game, responded.

"She appeared here suddenly while we were having dinner. She kept staring at the food as if she wanted it, and things ended up like this."

"Yeah… she's worse than Tohka. She won't stop eating; she's more dangerous than Tohka's black hole! She's a monster!" Origami feigned terror.

"What do you mean by that, Origami?! I'm not a black hole!" Tohka jumped up indignantly.

Aiden observed the scene thoughtfully.

But, since Ophis was an innocent being, he allowed them to do whatever they wanted.

In the end, he also joined them and started feeding the little gothic lolita.

A/N:

Any Fate fan who can give me an idea for a spell inspired by [Rhongomyniad] from Artoria?

I want to give that spell to Le Fay as her ultimate magic.

By the way, can anyone explain why I'm at the top of the list of people giving power stones?

I don't usually donate them, as I always distribute them among other fanfics, so… why the hell am I there?

Is it a bug or something?

I don't mind, but wow, it's curious.

Here's an image of Le Fay, Kurumi, and Kuroka I found somewhere:

Anyway, thanks for reading!

Peace and Out.
