Little Garden 336-340

Title: Trinity is Better

Hearing this, Azazel’s heart raced.

He was genuinely interested.

The Mechanical Evil Gods from the other side – just the name alone sounded incredibly valuable to research. Who knows, he might gain inspiration and advance his research on Sacred Gears?

At the very least, he could understand what the world on the other side is like and see if there are any solvable solutions.

For example, whether it’s possible to research some kind of virus or similar. This is far better than knowing nothing about the ExE world except for the Holy Son in front of him.

The only regret was that the Holy Son wasn’t interested in the Fallen Angels group, although he himself wasn’t too keen on them either.

He served as the Governor of the Fallen Angels only because he was the first Fallen Angel and felt a sense of responsibility towards the other Fallen Angels.

If possible, he’d even want to step down.

This offer, he truly found it hard to refuse.

“This matter...”

“Plus the magic technology from my home world.”

Aslan cut off Azazel’s words and raised the offer again.

Azazel looked up, gazing with slight surprise.

“Although the magic technology in my world isn’t comparable to the Mechanical Evil Gods of the ExE world, it can also mass-produce powerful Artificial Deva Weapons.”

Aslan looked on vaguely and said with a smile.

He decided to add a new identity to himself.

After all, isn’t there the Biblical God in this world? The neighboring ExE world also has the Goddess Mother Mary.

So, is there any problem if he adds himself as the Holy Son from another world?

Of course, there’s no problem!

The Biblical God, the Goddess Mother Mary, and the Holy Son can complete the Trinity. Incidentally, it can avoid the status of the One and Only God’s Spirit, so he doesn’t accidentally become the One and Only God, which would be very embarrassing.

“How about this price? More than enough for you to work part-time at my place, right?”

Aslan smiled towards Azazel, waiting for his answer.

“This...”

Azazel’s expression was very unnatural.

Magic technology from another world, Mechanical Evil Gods from the ExE world – he was genuinely interested.

But the price offered... was a bit high...

He worried that Aslan was also an invader like the ExE world.

Azazel narrowed his eyes, looked at him with a serious tone and said.

“I wonder what your true purpose is for coming to this world.”

The implied meaning of his words was that Aslan came to this world for no reason and offered such a high price, which made him very worried.

Especially since Aslan was no weaker than the Infinite Dragon God.

When Aslan spoke of uniting this world’s forces to fight the ExE Evil Gods, he was already suspicious.

Aslan isn’t from this world, why is he so dedicated to it.

Aslan narrowed his eyes and said with compassion.

“I only came to save the world! I don’t want my world to be attacked or targeted by them as well.”

“I understand.”

Azazel sighed.

Not the best outcome, but not the worst either.

In his opinion, Aslan probably wanted to use this world as a battlefield to gather experience in fighting the ExE world. Of course, it would be even better if the Mechanical Evil Gods from the ExE world could be repelled in this world.

“I agree to work part-time at your place, but at the same time, I also hope to take the technology I develop back with me.”

Azazel said this, stood up, and said with a serious face.

“That’s natural. As long as you are willing to cooperate, everything is open for discussion.”

Aslan showed a bright smile, picked up his wine glass, and toasted with Azazel.

This symbolized that an agreement had been reached and a pleasant cooperation.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

At the foot of the shrine steps.

After reaching a friendly mutual aid agreement with Aslan, Azazel, carrying a memory card containing countless magic technologies and several Mechanical Evil Gods ranging from weak to strong equivalent to Transcendent, was slightly dazed.

“What was my original purpose for coming here? Wasn’t it to greet the Holy Son and ask him to look after Baraqiel?”

“Why did I end up becoming his subordinate instead? And even added a lot of burden on myself... Really, having to complete the analysis of the Mechanical Evil Gods in the next few months...”

“How could I promise something so big...”

Azazel thought for a moment and felt that this Aslan was somewhat wicked. Can a normal person make him fall into a trap with just a few words? Moreover, he was willing to do so.

Azazel scratched his head with a strange expression, turned and looked towards Yasaka Shrine on the mountain.

“Forget it, let it be. I’d better go study the magic technology first.”

“Mass-producing Mechanical Gods at the Transcendent level, the Holy Son truly dares to dream big.”

Azazel paused, thinking of one of the Four Great Devil Kings among the Devils, Beelzebub. The other’s research ability was far above his.

He could only say that he had achieved some minor accomplishments in the field of Sacred Gears, but Beelzebub had researched Evil Pieces, which can turn ordinary humans into Devils.

He had always wanted to decipher it but hadn’t succeeded.

He estimated that the Holy Son most likely wouldn’t let go of the Devil King Beelzebub, Ajuka Beelzebub.

“If only God were still alive...”

Black feathers fell, and Azazel’s figure disappeared at the edge of the sky.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Inside the shrine, the squatting Kuroka was shocked, looking at the wide-open door and Aslan sitting there eating the leftover snacks.

“Is God really dead? The supposedly omniscient, omnipotent God who created Devils and Angels is really dead?”

If it weren’t for Azazel’s direct admission, Kuroka would have thought it was just a joke.

The death of the Biblical God shocked her even more than the invasion of the ExE world.

“What do you think? If the Biblical God were still alive, would I need to work so hard like this?”

Aslan finished the leftover snacks, then put down his chopsticks, picked up the napkin on the table and wiped the corner of his mouth.

“But who said the Biblical God is truly dead? Even if she died, can’t she be resurrected? She doesn’t die that easily.”

Aslan said this, glancing sideways at the True Longinus he placed beside him with the corner of his eye.

The will of the Biblical God is hidden within the True Longinus.

The stronger the power, the harder it is to die, or the more ways there are to survive when facing danger.

Aslan didn’t believe that an existence who created the system, Angels, and Devils with her bare hands, and exhausted her energy after sealing the Beast of Apocalypse.

But in such a situation, still managed to take down the Two Heavenly Dragons and the Four Great Devil Kings, simultaneously turning Ddraig and Albion into Sacred Gears, would just die like that?

Did the Biblical God not prepare any backup plans at all?

Rather than dead, Aslan believed he was only pretending to be dead, preparing for something big.

“Uh...”

Kuroka opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

She agreed with Aslan’s words in her heart. If the Biblical God is dead, can’t he just be resurrected?

But is resurrection that easy?

She looked at Aslan, seeing his confident expression; it seemed it really wasn’t difficult for him.

Thinking this, Kuroka’s mood became complicated.

However, just at that moment.

A meow escaped from her mouth.

Aslan grabbed Kuroka by the scruff and lifted her up.

Instantly, Kuroka’s body went limp.

A cat’s weak spot is often the scruff, as that’s where mother cats bite when moving their young kittens.

When the scruff is held, for a cat, it’s equivalent to being bitten by their mother, instinctively feeling safe, and automatically becoming obedient.

Faced with this innate nature, Kuroka was, of course, no exception.

Her whole body went limp, unable to resist Aslan’s large hand.

“What do you want to do?”

Kuroka asked panickedly.

“Hug the cat!”

Aslan answered honestly, holding Kuroka in his arm, then slowly walked out of the side hall.

“What do you want to do? Where are you taking me?”

Kuroka’s heart was full of panic. Could it be that this man was going to attack her?

She didn’t want to... wait a moment, if something really happened with him, wouldn’t that give birth to quite powerful offspring...

Kuroka’s thoughts suddenly shifted towards having children.

After all, before her mother died, she asked her to pass on the Nekomata clan.

In this world, to continue the race, one definitely needs strong children, so of course the husband must also be very strong.

“Wait, what am I thinking? Why, just because I’m being hugged, am I already thinking about the problem of having children!!”

Kuroka panickedly covered her cat face and didn’t notice that Aslan had brought her to the backyard.

“Yasaka, what are you doing here?”

Aslan held Kuroka with one arm and stroked the large fox (Yasaka) with the other hand, showing a smile, and asked curiously.

To be honest, the worldview of High School DxD in a sense has some similarities with the worldview of Nanatsu no Taizai.

That is, the female figures in both these worlds are very exaggerated, and the texture is also quite good.

Yasaka sighed and said with a bit of guilt.

“Someone asked me to speak with you.”

Yasaka also felt very embarrassed, but who told her she owed that person a favor?

However, the owed favor only allowed her to mention it. Anything more than that, better not.

“I owe her a favor that’s not too big or too small, and the other party’s current identity is somewhat...”

Yasaka lowered her head and said with a bit of shame.

Aslan heard this, smiled and reached out, pulling her ear.

“Alright, isn’t it just a meeting? I happen to have nothing to do, let’s see.”

“Thank you, Your Holiness.”

Yasaka lowered her posture, bowing slightly to show her apology.

The other party’s identity is the prospective head of the Himejima Family, one of the Five Principal Clans, Himejima Suzaku.

Previously, Yasaka had asked her to contact Rias Gremory, seeking Rias’s protection for Kunou.

Although later, after confirming Aslan’s strength and status, it was no longer necessary, the favor was still owed.

Now the other party asked her to get a chance to speak with Aslan, even if just to try.

-

Title: Is This Excessive? It’s Really Not Excessive At All, Right!

In the side hall of Yasaka Shrine.

Aslan calmly held Kuroka, stroking the cat while waiting for the guest’s arrival.

At the same time, Yasaka was also brewing tea there.

Not long after, when the tea was almost ready to drink, an elegant woman’s voice was heard.

“Pleased to meet you, Your Holiness the Holy Son.”

Accompanied by the elegant woman’s voice, Suzaku, wearing red and white miko attire with her hair tied in a high ponytail, entered through the door and bowed.

Aslan raised his eyebrows,observed for a moment, and was slightly surprised.

“Akeno?”

However, a moment later Aslan realized this girl had no Devil or Fallen Angel aura; she was purely an ordinary human.

Suzaku’s steps halted, then she shook her head and said.

“Sorry, you’ve mistaken me for someone else. I am Akeno’s cousin, Himejima Suzaku.”

She paused briefly, then continued.

“And also the prospective next head of the Himejima Family.”

However, at this moment, Suzaku’s heart had sunk to the bottom of an abyss.

The other party mistook her for Akeno upon seeing her. This incident convinced her that the other party had already been in contact with Akeno.

At the same time, Baraqiel also seemed to have received orders from him, his subordinate.

Coincidentally, the Five Principal Clans were currently a stumbling block hindering the advance of Aslan and his group.

What actions would the father and daughter, whose family happiness was destroyed by the Himejima Family, take now that they had the opportunity?

She could fully imagine it.

Baraqiel had already stated very clearly; there was only one fate for the Himejima Family: to be punished.

Suzaku sighed helplessly.

“I see.”

Aslan shrugged casually and took a small sip of his tea.

“So, why have you come to see me? The Himejima Family has been completely handed over to Baraqiel to handle; you should be looking for him, right?”

Aslan was quite pleased with Baraqiel’s surrender. After all, Baraqiel was considered a good combatant.

Getting a Five Digit without any effort, how is that a loss anyway? And his name is the same as the Baraqiel in Little Garden.

With a little handling, gaining Four Digit power isn’t impossible either.

In the past, he might have been beaten to death, but now Christianity might give him a little face.

Currently, Christianity in Little Garden is in big trouble and busy with their own problems. Aslan taking a little power for free, no one would care.

Other Pantheons secretly attacking and kicking them while they’re down are far more ruthless than him.

Unlike him, who just created a group of homologous members (members with similar origins) and formed a small Biblical Mythology group.

Is this excessive? It’s really not excessive at all, right!

Hearing this, Suzaku took a deep breath and said.

“No, I came to negotiate with Your Holiness.”

She paused briefly and said with serious eyes.

“A negotiation representing myself personally.”

“Oh?”

Aslan raised his eyebrows and looked at her with slight surprise.

Coming to negotiate personally meant the other party was not aligned with the Himejima Family.

Thinking this, Aslan remembered who Suzaku was.

She seemed to be the cousin of Akeno who let Akeno go back then. No wonder Baraqiel let her come to negotiate with him.

Thinking this, Aslan became interested.

“What is your guarantee?”

“Everything about the Himejima Family.”

Suzaku said in a calm tone.

“After the Himejima Family is destroyed, everything about the Himejima Family will naturally belong to me.”

Aslan shook his head, stretched out his hand and slowly clenched his fist.

“You can’t use something that already belongs to me as a guarantee.”

We are all smart people.

Suzaku, the prospective next family head, suddenly came to negotiate with him, representing herself. For what?

Nothing other than for the Himejima Family.

Either she wants to play both sides safe, or she wants to ascend the throne; for Aslan, it makes no difference.

When the Himejima Family stood against him and prepared to fight, there was only one end for the Himejima Family.

Destroyed by him, or used as a tool for Baraqiel to vent his anger, and then... nothing left.

The treasures accumulated by the Himejima Family aren’t worth his glance. The so-called inherited Sacred Gears... well, that’s it.

As for talent... sorry, the Himejima Family did have many talents; both Akeno and Ikuse Tobio were people forced out by the Himejima Family.

Ikuse Tobio, the protagonist in Datien no Inugami (The Fallen Dog God) in the same world as High School DxD, is a young man currently studying at the Fallen Angel Academy.

His power is on the same level as Vali Lucifer (White Dragon Emperor) and Cao Cao currently. They are all youths with potential.

It can only be said that opportunities have come, but the Himejima Family couldn’t seize them.

If they could seize just one, Kyoto should belong to the Himejima Family now.

To be honest, after investigation, Aslan had no good impression of the Himejima Family. These old fogies better hurry up and go to hell.

Although he had also read the original High School DxD novel, the original details were too lacking, and many details were only confirmed by him after investigation in this world.

Hearing this, Suzaku sighed and said.

“Is there no room for negotiation at all?”

Although she had anticipated it beforehand, now the nearly destroyed Five Principal Clans were just pebbles on Aslan’s path of conquest.

Their only value was to satisfy Baraqiel. Thinking this, she still felt a bit desperate.

In fact, she knew full well that her current situation was just a struggle on the brink of death.

But everyone holds onto hope; it’s just that Suzaku’s hope was shattered by Aslan.

“Of course, there is a chance.”

The corner of Aslan’s mouth smiled. He changed the topic and gave a little hope.

Hearing this, Suzaku was silent for a moment, raised her head and looked at him hopefully. She rose from her seat and performed a dogeza (kneeling with head touching the floor) before Aslan.

“Whatever the request, as long as I can do it, Your Holiness may ask!!”

“Good, at least the attitude is not blameworthy.”

Seeing Suzaku quickly adjust her mindset, letting him command her, Aslan nodded with satisfaction.

Her mind is quite clear, far better than the old fogies in the Himejima Family.

As he spoke, Aslan threw a card and looked at Suzaku with great interest.

“It’s very easy to make us not attack the Himejima Family, and even the Five Principal Clans.”

“Here are five Sacred Gears similar to the Sacred Gears inherited by your five families. You just need to clear these obstacles before we act.”

“Make them submit, or kill them all, as long as they don’t become stumbling blocks for us.”

“Of course, Baraqiel will be responsible for supervision.”

“So, what is your choice?”

Suzaku lowered her head, looked at the card given to her, and sank into thought. After a while, she stood up, took the card, and said calmly.

“I will surely satisfy Your Holiness.”

After speaking, Suzaku retreated. The time left for her wasn’t much.

Both sides were preparing for war, and the battle would start by tonight at the latest. By then, there would be no room left for her to choose.

Aslan smiled watching Suzaku’s departure, his mood very good. He greatly anticipated Suzaku’s next appearance.

Would she become a Queen? Or the Death Knell that would lead them to destruction?

However, either way, Aslan wouldn’t lose, and he could also watch a good show.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Backyard of the Himejima Family headquarters.

A very small shrine, but maintained very clean and tidy.

Inside the shrine, two figures came out stealthily.

One of them, a girl with fiery red hair, a very full figure, wearing a school uniform, folded her arms across her chest and said.

“It seems something big really happened in Kyoto. Even the Himejima Family couldn’t avoid it.”

“Ara ara, isn’t this a good thing? A trash family like the Himejima Family should be swept into the dust of history, right?”

The black-haired girl with a high ponytail and an even more explosive figure than the red-haired girl said with a wide smile.

“Even so... but Akeno... look, isn’t there something wrong over there?”

Rias Gremory looked with complicated eyes at the distant Himejima Family headquarters burning with flames.

“Look, the person controlling those five Sacred Gears seems to be your cousin, Suzaku.”

“Hmm... Hmm?”

Akeno was momentarily stunned, looked very surprised at Suzaku who was killing everywhere, and fell silent.

“This... Cousin Suzaku?”

Akeno was also a bit dumbfounded.

“But, where did she get the four inherited Sacred Gears of the other families?”

Akeno unconsciously turned her head and met Rias’s gaze, but only saw a pair of equally confused eyes.

At this moment, both of them knew one thing: the situation was big, this was definitely an anomaly.

“How about, Rias, you ask your brother; maybe you can get some news?”

Akeno smiled towards Rias and gave a fairly reliable suggestion.

Rias shook her head helplessly.

“Can’t reach him; he seems to be in a meeting with a certain entity right now.”

She had just tried contacting him through the emergency contact formula but failed.

“Ah... then shall we just watch?”

Rias looked at Akeno.

“Let’s just watch.”

Akeno was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.

After all, she was now a member of the Gremory Family. Her stance was the same as Rias’s.

And Rias was the younger sister of the Devil King Sirzechs, which easily made people think it was the will of the Devil faction.

If she interfered, it would easily drag Rias in.

“Besides, watching is quite interesting too.”

Akeno smiled, looked up and saw Baraqiel putting on a cold face, staying in the air, ignoring Suzaku who was clearing out the old folks in the Himejima Family.

Especially Himejima Suou, the head of the Himejima Family, who was beaten the worst, but not fatally.

For Akeno, just watching Suou’s suffering from afar made her feel very happy.

“Alright, since you say so, let’s just watch.”

Rias sighed, directed her gaze to the Himejima Family battlefield, watching Suzaku killing everywhere.

How nice if she could become her servant.

-

Title: Two Little Devils Unafraid of Death

“Interesting.”

Sensing two quite bold little Devils appearing in Kyoto, Aslan narrowed his eyes and looked towards the outskirts, at the Himejima Family headquarters.

He saw the two little Devils who had appeared on the back mountain and smiled in their direction.

Aslan directly picked up Kuroka, who was lazily resting beside him, and stepped forward.

In the blink of an eye, he was already behind Rias and Akeno.

Kuroka was just about to ask why Aslan had suddenly gone crazy and kidnapped her.

But before she could speak, she saw a familiar back figure and immediately fell silent.

She was very familiar with this back figure. Her younger sister, Shirone—alias Toujou Koneko—was taken as a servant by this person.

However, precisely because of Rias’s protection, Koneko avoided a wandering life like hers.

It’s just that, if possible, she must take Koneko back. A free Nekomata doesn’t need a master!

“Shh, wait a moment, let’s give them a surprise.”

Aslan put his finger in front of his lips and spoke in a soft voice. Kuroka turned her head and saw the mischievous smile on his face.

The smile on her face also gradually turned wild. Why not? They took her little sister!

Kuroka didn’t mind at all, even wanted to enhance the surprise effort.

Meanwhile, the two innocent Devils had no idea they were being targeted and were still chatting happily.

“Akeno, for some reason, I suddenly feel uneasy.”

Rias folded her arms across her chest, rubbing her arm.

“It feels like we’re being watched by a terrifying existence.”

“It must just be your imagination, Rias. Since when did you become so sensitive?”

Akeno looked at her a bit strangely. They came secretly; it’s completely impossible they were discovered.

There’s a barrier set up here by her mother back then.

(Wait a minute? Did I see wrong?)

Akeno turned her head and coincidentally saw a handsome man holding a black cat, playing with Rias’s hair.

Akeno fell silent.

(Since when?)

Cold sweat instantly drenched her back.

At this moment, Rias seemed to have confirmed something, nodded, and turned to her childhood friend, Akeno.

“It must just be my imagination;I don’t feel that way anymore.”

Rias was a bit confused by the situation, but she saw that Akeno’s expression looked a bit strange right now.

“Akeno, what are you looking at?”

Akeno saw Aslan put his index finger in front of his lips making a “shh” gesture; she gave up on resisting.

For some reason, she couldn’t muster even the slightest intention to resist.

Although she really wanted to remind Rias that there was an unfamiliar man standing behind her.

But her body moved automatically, and she explained.

“Nothing, it’s just that seeing the Himejima Family suffer like this, I got a bit excited.”

Akeno forced a smile.

At this moment,even the slowest Rias realized something was wrong with Akeno. She unconsciously turned around but found her hair being pulled.

“Such a bright color, it’s a pity the time was too short.”

Aslan released Rias’s hair with a bit of regret. When he was in elementary school, one of his favorite things was braiding the hair of the little girl in front of his desk.

Although he only knew one way to braid.

If there had been more time, Rias’s hair should have been braided by now.

On the other side, Rias, whose hair was released, immediately turned around, stood beside Akeno, and shook her hair with lingering fear. The half-braided hair instantly returned to its original form like a cascading waterfall.

Almost having her hairstyle changed by someone else, of course Rias was very annoyed inside, but the current situation made her dare not care about such a thing at all.

She could only endure the discomfort, standing beside Akeno, seeking a glimmer of hope for survival.

If at that time Aslan hadn’t intended mischief but intended to kill, and captured them...

On the other side, Akeno, who finally recovered from her shock, bowed gracefully in greeting.

“Pleased to meet you, Your Holiness.”

Although she didn’t know Aslan’s identity, from the fact that he could appear beside them without a sound, and they couldn’t detect him, it was clear.

Aslan was clearly no ordinary existence and was most likely an existence on the level of the Four Great Devil Kings.

Both were currently wearing Kuoh Academy uniforms. Bowing to Aslan now, they looked young and energetic, showing the vitality of high school girls.

Of course,it would be better if their expressions were more natural and their bodies weren’t slightly trembling.

For Aslan, this was just a small whim that arose because he was in a good mood.

However, unexpectedly seeing two main characters from the original novel improved his mood a bit more.

Then Aslan glanced at Rias, his gaze like electricity, making Rias feel as if her body, mind, and even soul had been pierced through, a creepy feeling suddenly arising.

Aslan raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a bit of surprise.

“Did Atavism occur? No, the Historical Correction Force should have faded. Unexpectedly good potential.”

“But little girl from the Bael Family, you should seriously develop the power in your blood.”

After sharing the origins of this world’s Devils with Algol, Aslan unexpectedly discovered that Rias’s bloodline had slightly undergone Atavism, closer to the pure-blooded Devils in Little Garden.

The reason there was no change before was due to the working Historical Correction Force suppressing it.

However, from now on, this suppression will disappear, and the Devils in this world will slowly evolve towards the Devils in Little Garden.

If Rias can develop and purify her bloodline to a certain extent in this world, she might be lucky enough to obtain a Pure-Blood Spirit Status after arriving in Little Garden.

Rias unconsciously gritted her teeth.

First, her hair was played with upon appearing, then she was seen through to her core, and then her bloodline was mocked.

There was no problem with her bloodline development. Her Power of Destruction was even praised by her brother.

How else was she supposed to develop it?

As if seeing Rias’s doubt, Aslan reminded her in passing.

“Develop quality and technique? When you can destroy Concepts, that’s considered passing.”

Hearing these words, Rias fell silent.

(Are you sure this is something a Devil can do?)

Although the Power of Destruction is strong, it’s limited to destroying magic, techniques, and physical aspects.

How to touch Concepts, something intangible? Let alone destroy them.

Rias frowned, looking at him with a bit of skepticism.

However, that was all he said. Aslan immediately turned his head and looked towards Akeno.

“What a pity, the potential isn’t low, but she almost ruined it herself.”

Aslan raised his eyebrows and said with a bit of regret.

The mixed blood of Devil, Fallen Angel, and Exorcist only made Aslan think of one existence.

Kurosaki Ichigo, the protagonist in the Bleach world, a Child of Destiny whose body is mixed with three powers: Shinigami, Hollow, and Quincy.

Akeno also had similar potential, it’s just that she almost ruined it herself.

Mixed blood, although having high potential, if the different bloodlines within the body are unbalanced, this potential is also easily lost, or even become uncontrollable.

“Forget it, later let Baraqiel teach you how to develop Fallen Angel power.”

Aslan said with a mischievous smile at the corner of his mouth.

As a superior, helping subordinates manage family relationships is what should be done.

After hearing Aslan’s words, Akeno’s face stiffened, and she smiled very reluctantly.

Because of her mother’s tragic death, she was at odds with Baraqiel. Now she’s being told to reconcile with that coward, even asking for his teaching? Impossible.

Is this managing family relationships? Isn’t this just pouring fuel on the fire?

Akeno really wanted to curse right now.

But in the end, because the situation was weaker, she was forced to hold back.

While Akeno was restraining herself, Rias couldn’t hold back anymore.

Bullying her, she could still endure it, but what did it mean to open her best friend’s old wounds in front of her?

Thinking this, Rias asked in a slightly firm tone.

“You sought us out, not just to make fun of us, right?”

“Of course.”

Rias blinked her eyes, looking at him a bit confused. No, what did the other party just say?

“What do you actually mean?”

Rias took a deep breath, suppressing her anger and asked.

“Of course, I came to have fun, right?”

Aslan showed a bright smile at this moment.
“Then please go have your fun elsewhere!”

Rias said with a bit of impatience. Why come find them for fun?

Could it be that they are the fun Aslan is seeking?

She looked at him with a bit of disbelief and saw him nod slightly at her.

Her face immediately darkened, and Akeno’s face also became very bad.

If it weren’t for being unable to defeat him, these two would certainly throw Power of Destruction and Power of Lightning at Aslan’s face.

But they couldn’t do it, not even having the courage to attack.

At this moment, Aslan suddenly changed the subject.

“So, would you two young ladies like to see the cat I keep that can do backflips?”

Kuroka in Aslan’s embrace immediately objected.
(You’re the one who can backflip,your whole family can backflip!!)

Kuroka angrily bit Aslan’s finger, but unfortunately, she didn’t even break the skin.

And Rias really wanted to refuse right now, but seeing the “sincere” gaze.

Aslan was sincerely inviting them as guests, it was absolutely not kidnapping!

Rias suddenly fell silent.

(If you want to kidnap, just kidnap! What’s with asking us to watch a cat that can backflip?)

(Do you really not know that the black cat in your arms is a Cat Youkai!!)

(I even keep a white one!)

-

Title: It’s Like This, Surely an Accident Can’t Happen, Right?

“Alright, young ladies.”

“Please follow me.”

Aslan stepped forward, and the next moment, the figures of the three people and one cat appeared on the ongoing Himejima Family battlefield.

Currently, the Himejima Family elders had either fallen or were severely injured. Only a few were unharmed, probably the servants and some children without abilities.

“It seems my timing is perfect.”

Aslan smiled, looking at the girl currently stepping on the head of one of the Himejima Family heads on the ground.

When Suzaku saw Aslan’s arrival, her face couldn’t help but show joy.

“Your Holiness the Holy Son.”

She stood up and bowed.

At the same time, Baraqiel, the Fallen Angel Executive and God of Thunder in the sky, also landed and knelt on one knee before Aslan.

“Your Holiness the Holy Son.”

Facing the greetings from Suzaku and Baraqiel, Aslan nodded slightly, looked around, and praised.

“Good work. I’ll leave the rest to you two.”

As he spoke, Aslan stepped aside, gesturing for Akeno behind him to step forward.

Akeno was momentarily stunned, looking at him with a bit of disbelief.

She hadn’t expected the other party to let her step forward and get involved in handling the Himejima Family.

On the other hand, Suou, lying wounded on the ground, glanced at Akeno and closed his eyes in despair.

“Tch, mixed blood will always be mixed blood, how dare you bring outsiders to deal with—“

However, Suou’s words weren’t finished when a bolt of lightning directly struck his body.

“You old fool! Shut up! You’re the one who has no right to say that!”

It was Akeno who attacked. She remembered clearly how her mother died.

This old man was the one who colluded with outsiders and killed her mother while Baraqiel and Azazel were away.

Even she herself had been hunted by him several times.

If not for the secret protection from Baraqiel and Azazel, she would have definitely died during her wanderings.

This was also the source of her resentment towards Baraqiel. Why not kill this person? Only protect her secretly?

Was Baraqiel such a coward?

*BOOM!*

Suou’s severely injured aura completely vanished.

After being severely wounded by Baraqiel, saved by Tear of the Phoenix, and then beaten again by Suzaku.

Finally, under Akeno’s full-force angry attack, Suou finally died.

“Thank you.”

Seeing Suou killed by her own hand, Akeno thanked Aslan.

Remembering how they killed her mother years ago, and how she herself was hunted with no refuge in heaven or earth.

Akeno sighed in relief. Suddenly she felt that Aslan wasn’t so bad anymore.

But for Rias, the situation wasn’t so beautiful.

Although she was happy to see her best friend’s revenge fulfilled, that didn’t apply if Akeno seemed ready to defect.

They were still captives now.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Underworld, Devil King Castle.

In the palace of Lucifer, one of the Four Great Devil Kings.

Sirzechs Gremory, the current Devil King, with fiery red hair, tall stature, and handsome appearance, wearing a suit, frowned while handling a pile of documents in front of him.

“Finally, there’s new news from the Khaos Brigade, and it’s sent by the spy from Kyoto?”

Sirzechs couldn’t help but frown, because the leader of the Khaos Brigade was the Infinite Dragon God.

Every faction paid close attention to the Khaos Brigade’s movements, especially since the main members of the Khaos Brigade were rebels from the three factions: Angels, Fallen Angels, and Devils.

Infiltration by spies became easier.

But after the Khaos Brigade’s meeting yesterday, those spies hadn’t given any news at all.

Under modern scientific systems, sending daily messages isn’t difficult.

The Khaos Brigade’s management isn’t that strict. Just secretly send a text message on a phone.

Yet, even so, there was no news.

“What happened?”

A handsome young man with blue-green hair sitting across from Sirzechs asked curiously.

Ajuka Beelzebub.

He is one of the Four Great Devil Kings alongside Sirzechs.

He is also a genius Devil who transcends the limits of the Devil race and possesses extraordinary technical abilities.

Among the new Four Great Devil Kings, only Sirzechs and Ajuka are the core; the other two are more supplementary than necessary.

Because only they two have truly reached the level of the ancient Four Great Devil Kings, surpassing the limits of Devil Kings.

The other two can only be said to be slightly stronger than ordinary Devil Kings.

“See for yourself. New news from Kyoto. Baraqiel was almost purified...”

Sirzechs’s tone showed a bit of disbelief. If he weren’t sure that God was dead, and that their God was a Goddess.

He would even suspect that Aslan was God walking the earth.

“Do you think we should...”

Sirzechs didn’t continue. As a Devil King, and also as a Reformer, he knew full well that the resurrection of God or a God-like existence wasn’t a good thing for Devils.

After all, Devils, Fallen Angels, and Angels were just tools used by God to maintain the world’s balance.

He couldn’t be sure how God would view the Devils who have now developed into modernity and undergone reformation.

“But we can’t confirm the strength of that Holy Son, and the Infinite Dragon God’s attitude towards him.”

Ajuka frowned and paused before speaking.

Although they were confident that they two were not inferior to the first-generation Devil Kings, the Infinite Dragon God was clearly not someone they could touch.

They also couldn’t confirm Aslan’s strength.

What if Aslan is an existence equivalent to God?

Although they really don’t want a God-like existence, or even God’s incarnation itself, but if it has already happened, what can they do?

“If I release that form, maybe I can hold out...”

Sirzechs frowned and spoke with a bit of hesitation. Just from the description, he couldn’t determine how strong an existence is that, upon appearing, makes Fallen Angels return to the Angel ranks, and even Baraqiel couldn’t avoid it.

But he was confident that after releasing that form, he could reach the level of the Top 10 Most Powerful Beings In The World.

If disregarding consequences, maybe he could be compared to Indra, and Indra is ranked fifth.

“Better not take the risk.”

Ajuka was silent for a moment then spoke. Although it’s impossible for a Top 10 Most Powerful Beings In The World level expert to suddenly appear in the world.

But there are too many mysteries surrounding that Holy Son. If not careful, it would be troublesome if they failed.

Currently, the Devil King Reformation Faction needs them two to maintain the situation. If something happens, those old folks might take back their reformation results.

“Besides Sirzechs, if I remember correctly, your little sister is also in the human world, even in the same country.”

“Don’t scare me, Ajuka.”

Sirzechs straightened his back and said while laughing.

“Let me tell you, don’t look at the map here being small, the actual distance is quite far.”

“My little sister’s territory is in Kuoh City near Tokyo. This Holy Son appeared in Kyoto. The distance is far.”

“If they really meet, unless my little sister deliberately runs over there, otherwise it wouldn’t be that fast.”

“You don’t think my little sister would really run to get captured by others, do you?”

“That’s true too.”

Ajuka shrugged, then flipped through the documents.

“By the way, could this Holy Son be from the Church faction...”

Ajuka raised his eyebrows, his gaze full of implied meaning.

Suddenly appearing, and able to make Fallen Angels return to being Angels. It’s hard not to think that the Angel Church faction has made a new discovery.

Or perhaps the dead God has been resurrected?

He couldn’t have just popped out of a rock, right?

Most of the world’s strongest experts are famous existences. Who would be so bored, pretending to be a pig for thousands of years just to jump out now?

“I suspect so too, so I’ve already ordered spies to investigate, it’s just regarding Heaven, you know yourself...”

Sirzechs shrugged; he couldn’t possibly place spies in Heaven.

They absolutely cannot know what the Angel faction is thinking.

“It seems this is all we can do.”

Ajuka had no other way looking at this situation.

After all, although Devils sound powerful, actually besides them two Transcendents, there’s no one else who can fight.

If he hadn’t created Evil Pieces, the Devil population might have sharply declined.

Observing secretly, not attacking, and waiting leisurely is the best approach.

At worst, just give Japan to the Holy Son. The Devils’ main territories in the human world are in America and Europe.

Only the Far East, a small country the size of a ping pong ball, is just a place for training juniors. If lost, then lost.

This place has no important resources, nor does it produce anything.

It’s like this, surely an accident can’t happen.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

At Yasaka Shrine in Kyoto.

Rias, trapped in the guest room, put on a dark face and said to Aslan.

“According to international agreements, I hope to ransom myself and my servant with a ransom.”

“Not for sale.”

Aslan answered without looking up, then continued disassembling the Mechanical Evil God in his hand.

He was quite lucky; he captured a Mechanical Evil God named Rahu. Its strength turned out to be slightly stronger than Ophis’s, which piqued his interest.

Taking it apart to see its internal construction.

Of course, in Rias’s eyes, Aslan was just playing with an ordinary model toy.

“I can pay a high price, after all, I’m buying myself.”

Rias gritted her teeth and asked again.

“Your value cannot be described by just a ransom. I will use you to lure your older brother.”

Aslan said casually. Only after meeting Sirzechs, and through friendly negotiations. After conquering the Devils, Rias would naturally gain her freedom.

Seeing this, Rias could only sit anxiously to the side, praying in her heart for her brother.

(Please don’t come save me!)

(This person must have set up a net across heaven and earth, waiting for you to come.)

Title: This Creature Called a Siscon is Truly Too Terrifying

Kuoh Academy, Occult Research Club.

Koneko ate potato chips, sitting on the sofa, expressionlessly gazing at the empty club room.

As Rias’s servant and Kuroka’s younger sister, Koneko currently follows Rias, who is studying in the human world, coming to Kuoh City in Japan and attending Kuoh Academy.

The Occult Research Club is a school club taken over by Rias. The current number of members isn’t large. Besides Rias, all the others are her Devil servants, equivalent to the position of Feudal Knights.

But today Koneko felt something was wrong.

“The President and Akeno-senpai haven’t returned, and Gasper is still hiding in the classroom. Really boring.”

She quietly finished her potato chips, then took out latiao (Chinese spicy snack), dried squid, roasted pork... As the snacks were gradually consumed, her expression gradually became unpleasant and more serious.

“Something has happened!!”

“It’s past the return time the President mentioned. There’s a problem in Kyoto!”

She immediately stood up, walking to the corner of the activity room. There was a magic circle there connected to the Underworld.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

At the same time, in the Devil King Castle.

Sirzechs received information from his subordinate, and his expression immediately changed.

“Rias is missing? Since when?”

“Just now, this is a report from Your Highness Rias’s servant in the castle, Toujou Koneko today.”

The Devil subordinate knelt on one knee and answered somewhat nervously.

“How did she disappear? Where did she disappear? Were there any abnormalities found before?”

Sirzechs suppressed his frustration, frowned, and forced himself to remain calm.

“According to available information, Your Highness Rias and her Queen, Himejima Akeno, went to Kyoto...”

“Kyoto?”

Sirzechs’s face suddenly turned green.

(You don’t think my little sister is really that stupid, running to Kyoto to get captured, do you?)

He had just confidently told Ajuka not to worry about his little sister.

But now Sirzechs only wanted to say one word.

Damn it!

“Really captured?”

The bespectacled Ajuka asked with a strange expression while holding a stack of documents.

“Yes.”

Sirzechs, sitting in his chair, rubbed his forehead.

“Judging by the current situation, she should be captured.”

“Although I want to offer condolences, didn’t you say she would be fine earlier?”

“Don’t mention it.”

Sirzechs’s expression was slightly distorted.

“I don’t know what she was thinking either, maybe because of Akeno? Or because she wanted that young fox?”

Sirzechs paused briefly, then continued.

“Akeno is Baraqiel’s daughter.”

Akeno wanted to hide her bloodline, but it was completely useless against Sirzechs.

In fact, when Akeno fled to the Gremory Family territory back then, Baraqiel had negotiated with him.

“You knew this, and you still told me it was okay?”

Ajuka was speechless.

He really didn’t know Akeno was Baraqiel’s daughter. Why should he pay attention to the parents of Sirzechs’s little sister’s servant?

The Devil King’s work is very busy, plus he has his own research to do.

Devil reformation can’t be done just with great power.

“Aren’t you afraid Baraqiel will take his daughter back, and then capture your little sister too?”

Ajuka’s tone was very helpless. He felt this Rias had fallen into a trap.

“Shouldn’t be, Baraqiel and Azazel aren’t that kind of people. There’s still some understanding between us.”

Sirzechs shook his head.

“The only thing to worry about now is that Holy Son’s attitude. If he’s the one who captured Rias, that would be troublesome.”

Hearing this, Ajuka rubbed his forehead and said with some pain.

“Originally, we still wanted to investigate the situation, but now it seems we have to go.”

“Can only be resolved personally.”

Sirzechs also found it a bit hard to restrain himself. Why is his little sister so unreliable?

Just a fox can lure you away?

Sirzechs knew full well that Baraqiel isn’t the type to directly seek out his daughter; even if he wanted revenge on the Himejima Family.

If he were to look for her, he would go through channels.

Conversely, because of the Khaos Brigade, it’s more likely that Yasaka, the Youkai Ruler, entrusted her daughter to Rias but didn’t give her, which sparked Rias’s curiosity.

“So, now you go or me?”

Ajuka said with a headache. Currently, Sirzechs is the strongest among Devils, or even Biblical Mythology.

And an expert that strong, of course, shouldn’t roam around. On one hand to deter, and on the other hand, if something happens to him, it would be very troublesome.

Because compared to the benefits Sirzechs brings, other losses are almost meaningless.

Whether for Fallen Angels, Angels, or other god factions.

So usually Ajuka is the one who moves, but now it’s his little sister who has problems.

Sirzechs hesitated for a moment and said.

“How about we go together?”

“Together?”

Ajuka frowned and spoke with some hesitation.

“Although possible, the movement would be too big; I’m worried it will be difficult to resolve quietly.”

“Very easy, just cover it up with a bigger matter. And there’s something that must be done anyway.”

Sirzechs straightened his back, narrowed his eyes, propped his chin, and said.

“The ceasefire issue is urgent.”

“Ceasefire?”

Ajuka hesitated for a moment, then sighed.

“Indeed, it’s time to stop, but are you really prepared?”

The war between the three factions of Angels, Fallen Angels, and Devils dates back to ancient times, and bloody battles have never stopped over the years.

Even now, bloody battles still occur, just that the intensity has drastically reduced.

The reason is simple: everyone can no longer bear these losses.

However, it still has to be done, even must be done openly. Even Angels occasionally descend, declaring they have received God’s command to exterminate heretics. Regarding this situation, the three factions have sufficient consensus.

All this is done to maintain the illusion that the Biblical God is still alive.

But now they truly can no longer bear the losses, and if negotiating for peace, thanks to Sirzechs and Ajuka’s efforts over the years.

The Devil faction won’t suffer too much loss.

Conversely, the Angel and Fallen Angel factions will suffer greatly, especially Angels. Once the news of God’s death comes out, who knows how many Angels will fall?

Even Heaven will surely be besieged by wolves.

Ajuka sighed thinking about this.

“I’m just worried the Angel faction won’t agree.”

The Fallen Angel faction doesn’t need worry. Azazel is also a peace advocate, and he can restrain the aggressive Fallen Angels.

Only the Angels are the most difficult, and this is what worries him most.

“I’ve already met Michael. The Angel faction also can’t bear the losses anymore.”

Sirzechs narrowed his eyes and said. Sometimes, to maintain affairs that are too big, the investment is greater than the return.

Although the Angel foundation is very rich, after thousands of years, to maintain the Church, operate the system, maintain God’s existence, and wage war, they are also almost exhausted.

Better to cut losses. At least they can still maintain Heaven and the system God left behind, right?

“If so, I have no problem.”

Ajuka said relieved.

After all, if the news is revealed, the ones bearing the pressure will be the Angel faction. Conversely, the Devil and Fallen Angel factions don’t need to worry too much.

He and Sirzechs are also confident they can drive away those wolves.

Sirzechs nodded in agreement, then said.

“Then let’s go to Kyoto together. Resolve the matter earlier, and we can be at ease sooner.”

“Incidentally, to save your little sister, right?”

Ajuka rolled his eyes.

“Consider it so... Hahaha...”

Sirzechs laughed heartily.

“You damn Siscon (Sister Complex), after going around in circles for so long, you just want to save your little sister, right?”

Ajuka couldn’t help but curse while laughing.

Then he said with lingering fear.

“This creature called a Siscon is truly too terrifying. Good thing I don’t have a little sister.”

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

In the backyard of Yasaka Shrine.

In the courtyard where Aslan currently resides.

“Has the power of the Five Principal Clans been integrated?”

Aslan, who was sketching a draft of the Mechanical Dragon, asked.

Behind him, in the corridor entrance, Suzaku, wearing a red and white kimono, knelt there, nodding and answering.

“Yes, including the Hyakki Family, the other four families have voluntarily pledged loyalty to you.”

When Suzaku said this, she completely ignored Rias and Akeno beside her, not worried at all about leaking secrets.

She wasn’t even concerned about Aslan sketching designs.

Although they weren’t restricted at all, after all, what could two little Devils who didn’t even dare to send messages do?

“Hmm, good work.”

Aslan stopped sketching the design, turned around, and gave an order.

“Then, find a suitable empty space to build a factory. I’ll use it for experiments.”

“Understood.”

Aslan stretched, looking satisfied at the design sketch in his hand. Finally finished.

Imitating the Beast of Ophiuchus, the satellite incarnation flying in solar orbit, the strongest Dragon aligned with the human worldview.

Through disassembling Mechanical Evil Gods from the ExE world, combined with the technology of the Leticia Vampire Clan before coming to Little Garden, as well as Machine God technology from the Type-Moon world, and assistance from the Mother of Evil Gods.

Aslan finally sketched the preliminary draft of the Mechanical Dragon.

After all, he will inherit the territory left by the Chinese Pantheon in the future, but what if the territory is too large and there’s no one to guard it?

Easy, use machines, right?

Coincidentally, there indeed exist Mechanical Dragons in Little Garden, and the Chinese Pantheon in Little Garden should actually be called the Dragon Faction.

So Aslan creating a Mechanical Dragon is no problem.

The territory left by the ancestors is very vast and rich. High-level Heavenly Treasures might have been looted, but they couldn’t possibly dig out all the ore veins for him.

Impossible, truly impossible.

If that were the case, then Aslan would have to reconsider the inheritance issue.
