章節 906: Volume 14: Chapter 906 Byakko’s Mistake

"How are things going?"

At the top of a certain peak within Olympus, the God with a black curly hair and orange eyes, stood atop while facing a holographic image of the skeletal God in front of him, "I'm ready. I'm just waiting for everything on your side to be settled."

Hades sighed, "Don't wait for it. I'm just preparing as much as I can before they find out where I am. Just act when you see the chance."

"What's wrong? I thought you still had some leeway?"

"I did... I did until a very important aspect of the Devil Replication was 'destroyed'."

While Apollo understood the implication of Hades' words, he had no idea what that 'important aspect' was because the latter had always been very secretive about it, 'If only he would share his technology, we'd be in a much better situation. Though I also understand his inability to trust others.'

"Does that mean we cannot expand our forces anymore?"

"No. There are still some materials left so I will still be able to produce a significant amount, however, at a much slower rate."

"Well, as long as you can draw the entirety of DxD to your side, I shouldn't have any problems."

"Shouldn't have any problems? It looks like negotiating with them is taking all of your time. According to the spies we have in Heaven, Kisuke Urahara is helping Gabriel open the Sacred Gear system."

Apollo's eyes widened in surprise, "He did? What's the result?"

"The report said that he wasn't able to do anything and left empty-handed. Though it seems they haven't given up and Kisuke Urahara would still return from time to time."

Apollo thought about it for a moment before asking, "What do you think? Do you think he has a chance to open the system?"

"Common sense dictates that he shouldn't be able to, but that man is far away from common sense."

"Your view of him has really changed over time."

Hades would always think back to when he would listen to Apollo's 'prophecies'. While he still believes in them, because it had always been reliable and until today, it was, he couldn't help but think that maybe they fulfilled his 'prophecy' because they came to know of his existence and tried to erase him. The moment they got involved with him was the moment that the 'prophecy' came true.

Ignoring Apollo's comment, Hades warned him, "Although he's essentially alone, you can't underestimate him."

Apollo nodded at his words, "That's true. But it's also true that no matter how strong he is as an individual, he has no chance of going against a literal army of Godlike beings that could destroy the large factions."

'Even then, he might do something unexpected and render that useless.' Hades wanted to say this but he knew that it'll only fall deaf on his ears and would only receive ridicule from him, 'I wonder... If I had taken a different approach, could the two of us have been partners?'

"And that's how everything was settled." Yoruichi reported everything that has happened to Kisuke while she was lazing around, "In any case, they've already reached the limit of how much they can improve here... Unless there are more of those divine descents."

"How about the Aruna Familia and their associates?"

"The four Familias were annihilated. By using their children's souls to cover their own, they were able to descend. Lucky for them, they died with their souls intact. The rest who weren't able to use the technique due to their fear of the unknown have fled, but we don't have any intentions of chasing after them."

"Must have been a ghastly scene for those who discovered those bodies."

"Some of them were rotting so no doubt."

"How about the Gods? What was their reaction?"

"As expected, most of them don't have any idea of what occurred nor how it was resolved. Though what surprised me really was the fact that those who knew didn't spread it around. With that, we can safely assume that there's some kind of hierarchy of information even among the long-living Gods."

That was nothing new and they've already guessed that's the case. However, it was reassuring to confirm their initial hypotheses and were able to gain more confidence on how they should proceed from here on out.

"But from how it all ended, I'm guessing that the girls aren't feeling too happy about it?"

"Indeed. Aside from Kuroka and Sona, Koneko, Akeno, and Irina were dejected, especially the latter two. They were expecting to be able to do things like you."

Kisuke became silent. He also couldn't deny it as much as he hated that fact. Thanks to his obsession, he was able to prepare for most things and could do things on his own. Although that sounded amazing, it wasn't good for their growth. Like a child to their parents, they'll inevitably try to imitate him. However, the reality isn't that convenient as he knew himself that it was an abnormality.

No matter how one tries to be special, that's just impossible from simply imitating someone already special.

"With that in mind, I think they should return home." Yoruichi suggested, "Whether they participate in the upcoming war or just spend their time with their families and friends, it'll be a lot better than them being here, limiting themselves in many aspects. I don't like how they are looking down on themselves because they are comparing themselves to you or me. They need a fresh perspective."

"I agree... But the problem is 'your' contract with Chaos. As long as we don't know the specifics about it, it'll be hard to escape his grasp."

Yoruichi smiled before answering, "Regarding that, I finally was able to get some answers from Byakko."

According to Yoruichi, Byakko brought both Kisuke and Yoruichi with her to escape to another dimension and avoid Askin's 'Deathdealing'. However, Byakko failed to estimate her reemergence and made a mistake before slipping through the rift of dimensions, washing them away.

After an unknown amount of time, Byakko arrived at Chaos' domain. And because Kisuke and Yoruichi's souls were about to disperse due to traveling between dimensions, she didn't have much choice but to sign a contract and settle down.

But the moment Byakko signed the contract, she was able to feel Chaos' connection to the area beyond his domain and used that chance to escape because she couldn't fully trust him.

"So that connection turned out to be connected to Trihexa and we arrived in that world."

"That's right. But because she still signed the contract, she had to fulfill it somehow and brought us back when she deemed that we had enough power to protect ourselves."

"And the reason why she didn't say any of this until now?"

"...Her pride didn't allow her to admit that it was her mistake that we're in this mess."

"That's... very understandable."

Still, Yoruichi wasn't able to pry any more information, especially the contents of the contract itself because she was not allowed to reveal it to them until the stipulated time.

28th00: Sounds about right. Fucked the jump. It’d at least explain why they didn’t really have their bodies… Souls… It’s weird with them. Trihexia though? That’s one way to link them.

章節 907: Chapter 907 A Turning Point in History

While Kisuke was busy preparing the gate to further safeguard its function and informing the relevant people of the girl's return, the Belial House set a secret meeting between them, the Gremory, and the Sitri to discuss the 'bomb' that Kisuke had just dropped on them.

From the Belial side, it was Cleria and Diehauser, Zeoticus and Venelana who came for the Gremory, and Dylan and Cordelia as the Sitri's representatives.

While the other two Houses didn't really know what this meeting entailed, the moment they heard about it being 'secret' and 'Kisuke Urahara', they'd rearranged their busy schedules to accommodate them fully.

"I apologize for suddenly springing this on everyone here and thank you very much for coming despite your busy schedules." Cleria started with obvious dark bags under her eyes and a bit of a pale skin complexion. It was very clear to everyone that she has been overworking herself to the point that even being a High-class Devil didn't help anymore.

Dylan sighed, "If we still called ourselves busy after looking at you right now, we'd just be ashamed. In any case, anything that's attached with the label 'Kisuke Urahara' is a call for attention. Though..." He then looked at the Gremory couple sitting opposite of him and Cordelia, "I didn't think you'd also invite the Gremory."

Venelana just let out a small laugh while covering her mouth and Zeoticus just shrugged his shoulders before responding, "If not for a certain incident, we wouldn't be here."

"I see... It looks like his unconventional methods have reached your house too.", Dylan replied while also thinking, 'Does it have to do with the rumors going around that their Ancestor is still alive?'

"Well then, I won't be wasting your time any further." Cleria looked at Diehauser and said, "Please."

Diehauser nodded and began distributing documents to each of the attendees as Cleria explained, "Although I want to make it simple and just summarize it for you, I might only confuse everyone here, so I'd like for you to read through the documents carefully before we begin. The negotiations will be easier with all of us on the same page."

Curiosity took everyone's attention and they became fully committed to the documents just a few minutes after.

Cleria and Diehauser smiled wryly with each other and enjoyed their coffees. They knew that it'd take quite a while before they could start discussing.

After approximately an hour, everyone had finally finished digesting everything that the documents had to offer with heavy expressions plastered on their faces, "Does the Belial House intend to start a war?" Zeoticus asked.

Already expecting this type of response, Cleria answered calmly, "Please don't compare this to a weapon of mass destruction. In my opinion, this could be seen as a form of progression likened to how Human civilization switched from swords and shields to guns and bombs."

"But that only happened because of their thirst to conquer."

"And their desire to protect themselves from their enemies. Please don't forget that."

"So are you saying that we have to prepare the entire world for a massive war?", questioned Dylan.

Cleria smiled and turned to him, "Aren't we already preparing for war?"

"Did you mean the threat of the Alliance of Hell?", asked Venelana, "Aside from this being too late already, it doesn't warrant such technology that might potentially affect how everyone lives their life and the destruction of the barrier between the 'normal' and 'supernatural'."

"Alliance of Hell? The DxD is fully capable of dealing with the threat they pose.", Diehauser pointed out, "But aside from that, I agree with one of the points they brought up."

The four guests' eyes widened in disbelief, "That statement would be controversial if the public were to know of it. The whole world might even see you as their enemy." Dylan muttered.

Diehauser nodded, "I know that. But just because they are seen as 'evil' doesn't mean some of their ideas are wrong. The fact that the world is not adequately preparing for an otherworld invasion is something I fully... and the entire Belial House agrees with."

A heavy silence covered the room for a few minutes before Cordelia voiced her question, "What does Kisuke-kun know?"

"What he has right now are just speculations, and he's one of the most pessimistic people I know," Cleria answered after a moment of hesitation.

Everyone looked at her and waited until she sighed before continuing, "As we are now, we probably have no way of fighting against an invasion that will come from another dimension."

Zeoticus frowned and said, "That's really one pessimistic view, but I believe he wouldn't just think of the worst-case scenario for no reason... At least from all the displays he has done that I'm aware of."

Cleria nodded, "He said that after Rizevim's stunt, our world just shouted at the top of it's lungs in a very big, very dark, and very silent room where an unknown number of other worlds were quietly listening. The chances of one having a jumpy personality might just pull the trigger for an invasion can't be ignored. Heck, he even said that he wouldn't be surprised if some otherworldly beings are already roaming the world without our knowledge. While Great Red is guarding the Dimensional Gap, he couldn't possibly notice every small hole that will be created in an instant."

Cleria's words sent shivers to everyone as they imagined that Kisuke uttered those words. It became even more terrifying when they recalled that he'd already brought an otherworldly being with him.

Cleria liked their response as that was what she needed now. Although it might be considered an unnecessary fear now, that's why they needed to proceed with sufficient speed, 'This is just the start. If possible, I'd like the entire Human world to become aware of this side of the world... As expected, some drastic measures are needed and we'd need all the authority we can have.'

Clapping her hands, Cleria gathered everyone's attention again and with a small glint of craziness flashing in her eyes, she continued, "Now then, shall we discuss the specifics of the Soul Gear?"

Dylan chuckled to himself and said, "We have no way of getting out of this one, huh?"

Zeoticus, on the other hand, rubbed his chin while sighing, "Better to take the initiative than give it to others, huh... I wonder if this is worth it for making enemies everywhere?"

"We'll always have enemies whenever a new form of progression is presented," Cordelia commented.

While rubbing her forehead, Venelana could feel the immense amount of work coming for them, "Priorities have to be rearranged..."

And although none of them were voicing it, they all knew that the first one who they had to take care of, 'Zekram Bael', the de facto leader of the Devils after the fall of the original Satans.

28th00: DxD has become… Supernatural Xcom? Huh… It… Sorta fits. Not just cause I’ve been playing those games a bunch lately either. The supernatural version of Xcom would be defending the world from interdimensional enemies instead of interstellar aliens. Probably not as much reverse engineering though.

Goyya: To be fair, Evies are both interdimensional and interstellar.
