Playing With Other Supernaturals

Volume 9 Chapter 512 - Against the Alliance

After sipping his tea, Azazel answered, "That snake, we can be sure that it\'s Ophis\' snake. As for what that golden orb is or why Ophis\' snake is keeping it restrained, I don\'t know. I have to check my records to get some clues on it."

"I see… The problem now is the fact that Ophis didn\'t give Issei any snakes. A being of her caliber doesn\'t need to lie about something like that."

"Then the problem lies with the question of when and where he received such things. Those things can\'t be received randomly, after all."

"I have an idea on where it came from. It must have come from Kisuke Urahara. Remember that time at the Conference?"

"You mean when Issei lost himself in pain before Kisuke Urahara left?"

"Yep. That\'s the only thing I could think of."

"In that case, Kisuke Urahara should have some close connection to Ophis herself. Does that mean that he\'s part of the Khaos Brigade?"

Azazel shrugged his shoulders, "Who knows? All we can say is that his identity is veiled in mystery. And you see, I also doubt that he really is the one who kidnapped and sacrificed those Devils. After all, as careful as he is, he would never hide them in his own basement."

Sirzechs rubbed the bridge of his nose, "Aside from the kids, only you and Serafall met him in person. And if both of you doubt this incident, then it must be true to some degree. Olympus\' movements were also weird at that time. They got there too fast. Finally, even though everyone is looking for the \'wanted\' Kisuke Urahara, it\'s actually them, who are only giving the bare minimum effort."

Azazel scratched his head, "Let\'s not talk about that now when we\'re the only ones here."

Sirzechs nodded, "You\'re right. Then let me change the topic. What is Odin\'s response?"

After taking another sip from his tea, Azazel replied, "He already agreed to join the Alliance and would only need a formal meeting about it. Though he can\'t deny that there will be some dissatisfied Gods on his side."

"We already expected this to be the case. We just have to prepare for that time."

At this time, Grayfia entered the room and said, "Sirzechs-sama, Issei-kun\'s medical report has arrived. Please take a look at it." She then passed Sirzechs some documents.

Sirzechs already knew that something was weird in the report, based on her reaction and quickly read through it. A few minutes later, Sirzechs sighed, "Azazel, you said that Issei-kun\'s lifespan had drastically reduced after taking the White Dragon Emperor\'s ability and transforming into Juggernaut Drive, right?"

Azazel frowned at his question, "…Right. It\'s only a natural result after those things."

"Then please take a look at this.", said Sirzechs and passed the report to him.

After reading the report, Azazel couldn\'t help but smile wryly, "His bodily functions soared compared to the last time? His lifespan, instead of decreasing, is now more than a normal Devil\'s? Is this accurate?"

"The report came directly from the experts of the Sitri territory. We can be sure of its authenticity."

"Well damn! Really? What\'s up with him?"

"Isn\'t it because of his connection with Kisuke Urahara?"

"We really have to find this guy, huh?"

On the day that Odin was supposed to formally sign the agreement for the Alliance, three Devil Kings, the Governor of Fallen Angels, the current leader of the Angels and some people who were acquainted with Odin, including Rias\' Peerage, came to attend the ceremony.

The talk before the signing went on slowly, but before Odin could actually sign the agreement, a God intruded and interrupted them. Loki, a man with light blue hair floating behind him with two small bangs at the front. He also had a blue jewel on his forehead and yellow earrings. Loki intruded on the signing ceremony, because he strongly disagreed with Odin\'s decision as he thought that Ragnarok (end of the world) would be delayed due to this Alliance.

Odin tried to convince him to go back but Loki fell deaf to his words, was about to start destroying things and summoned his son, Fenrir, a giant wolf with ash grey fur, standing at about 10 meters tall. However, before he could do that, Ajuka Beelzebub caught him in a magic trap and sent him to an uninhabited land somewhere in the Underworld.

Ajuka explained to everyone that the magic trap could only restrain Loki for a few hours and they would still need to deal with them. However, the problem laid with the question about who was going to fight him. The leaders couldn\'t do it as that would appear as a weakness for the other prospective members of the Alliance.

Rias proposed that their group could go, but the leaders knew that they wouldn\'t be enough even with Odin lending them a copy of the legendary weapon Mjolnir, as Loki could still call on his son Fenrir, to assist him in battle.

During their discussion, another group intruded and it was Vali\'s team this time, showing their intentions to participate in the battle against Loki.

True enough, with the cooperation of the Red and White Dragon Emperors, going against Loki was feasible despite the latter\'s goals. Vali promised to not to hurt anyone during this time and they chose to believe him as even Albion vouched for him, with Ddraig agreeing to their participation.

Although they were arch-rivals, the concept of them working with each other seemed to be an interesting idea for both of them.

Now the last problem they had was Fenrir. The wolf that was capable of easily slaying a God with its fangs was a threat no less than Loki himself.

Vali proposed a plan to ask someone who would know how to deal with Fenrir.

"Hoh? Who are you going to ask?", questioned Azazel with interest.

"Someone we met in our travels around the world.", answered Vali with a smile. "But before we could do that, we would need three powerful Dragons. With Issei and me, we just need one more." He then looked towards Tannin, one of the Dragon Kings.

Tannin looked at Vali for a few seconds before chuckling, "So you intend to use the Dragon Gate. Who are you going to call?"

"The one who knew both Loki and Fenrir well.", responded Vali, before he started to draw a grey magic circle.

Tannin\'s eyes widened when he saw this, "So you\'re going to call that guy? True enough, he should know a whole lot about them. But we shouldn\'t call him here. After all, that guy is larger than Great Red."

Editors: ,

28th00: Midgardsormr is pretty massive, about 500-600 meters, which is 5-6x Great Red\'s size. Didn\'t Sona show up as the calvary at this event in Canon? I guess since Issei has an indeterminable power boost from Kisuke using him as an experiment with divinity (Ddraig\'s?) and Phis-chama\'s snakes, he should be pretty set compared to canon. I kinda can\'t wait for Sona to come back to DxD and be like High-Ultimate class in strength and go "I hate being one of the weakest in the group…" It\'d totally mess with everyone\'s heads. Phis-chama would just float over to her head and pat it going "Yosh yosh." Phis-chama is a loli that LEARNS! She can do the patting!

Alexander: The speck of divinity came from the curse of Medusa. Kisuke recycled it like the good economical person he is.

Those leaders are dumb, by the way. Kisuke and Yoruichi helped them greatly in the fight with the Old Satan faction. So, stamping them of as simple Chaos Brigade terrorists is plainly stupid. Although not being part of the Alliance, I\'d have thought of them as a third force with an own agenda.

Goyya: Well, the political power isn\'t just in the hand of the Devil Kings. Old Families that supported the new government held half of it. And since they are \'Kisuke\'s victims\', they have the power to brand him as a terrorist. The Devil King side couldn\'t do anything as the evidence is overwhelmingly against Kisuke.
