Chapter 255 - Baffling Reason
When everyone finally arrives excluding Shinobu as she is taking care of their daughter was now in the private villa that Rias prepared beforehand that they can use as a hideout for the time being. Iroh held great curiosity at the different architecture and technology having great sense and noticed how they are energy around the world that coursing through his body but mostly the Chi of his fire bending gain another type of energy. He was curious, but Ryuu easily answered his question, telling him it was called Touki and Senjutsu. Iroh was someone spiritually more attached to the world, making the world itself accept him even though the malice was cleansed by his immensely pure spirituality.
This meant that anyone to meet him would feel calm and somewhat willing to trust him. He finds it fascinating that they are such methods and this reason alone made him an incredibly skilled fire bender. Though he's no Nezuko, he's at least able to fight middle class demons alone and with enough time with just calming sensing the world result in getting to the point of Ultimate class.
The chi within his dantian continuously absorbed and purified that at the rate he was growing would reach enlightenment. The world was constantly blessing him while Ryuu just watched with a nod as he knew that if anyone reached enlightenment then it would be Iroh. Meanwhile, Fubuki with her psionic abilities felt overwhelmed at the energy around her sensing how it was completely different from her world even tried to use her power against Ryuu only to backfired as it just reflected back at her as he glanced smiting the poor woman. Ryuu smiled when he glanced and telepathically said.
'Don't try to use your power on me as it's dangerous. My thoughts are too overwhelming at the current level you have.' Ryuu playfully said since his mind is aware of nearly everything at the vast Omniverse but it is mostly the megaverse as the Omniverse scale is too large. There are many dimensional scales like the infinite in 3rd dimension is vastly different from 4th dimension and so on and so forth.
If Fubuki were to tap into a fraction of it then she'll not only die but be lost in the endless thoughts and mind of every living entity from the smallest atom to the megaverse. Ryuu is only able to comprehend everything due to his power and physiology as Conceptual Entity as his true body is nothing more than an idea whose form varies from those who see it.
Fubuki became flustered while they all sat down where Rias poured some tea for them since they would need to discuss the situation and plan things ahead. Ryuu considered speed running everything but it would be meaningless if he can't enjoy the moment. Either route he took victory is certain even more he has pseudo Meta Luck that it made impossible for him to lose. Though, he can't bear someone with Absolute Invincibility that secure victory.
The thing about Omnipotent is that they are only defeated by other Omnipotent and Absolute. It is debatable who wins or loses as Omnipotent is always ever changing and contradictory. Regardless, Ryuu wanted to take the longer route and spend the moment in the Draconic Deus. Ryuu decided to be the first one to speak and said.
"Though, I can easily do everything on my own but I dislike to rush things and wanted to enjoy the process. With that said, we need to find information about the situation in this world and compare it to the canon. Rias, can you tell us about the situation in this world?" Ryuu has Omniscience that acts like Google but decides to let them be the one to decide on how to take action. He turned off his awareness and only triggered at a specific moment. Rias's nodded and said
"Well, the so-called canon is about to begin but it has changed since according to you, Issei is your reincarnated brother and my brother in law." Ryuu nodded since he knew about the situation with his brother but something had blocked him past to a certain invention where he decided to make something that blocks clairvoyance or anything that spies on him. His brother was immensely broken and became excited to spar with him and see who's stronger. Rias continued and said.
"Anyhow, my brother is currently working with the other maou about the Khaos brigade and trying to find ways on stopping them but it seems something is preventing them in finding the group."
The world is also trying it's best to realign itself in how it fated to happen in her world making sure the timeline remains the same and Rias' power is slowly destroying the timeline anchor. Essentially, the world is progressing through the plot but it slowly erodes due to Ryuu and his brother's existence defying it. Ryuu nodded while Lucifer scoffed and said.
"For someone who held my title, he's quite incompetent." Rias felt offended, glaring at her words despite knowing this how Lucifer often acts and says.
"Though we are Ryuu's lover, it doesn't mean I'll stand aside and let you insult my brother." She said releasing her devil dragon aura while Lucifer find it interesting and released her own devil queen aura that clash into ferocious beast while Erza shook her head unaffected by it but the other two are with Iroh able to composed himself because her instinct as general sharpen him able to discern danger while Fubuki caught small glimpse of their power and felt like she was presence of her sister or stronger.
Ryuu shook his head using his power to shield them and hide their presence as well to protect Fubuki and Iroh from dying with the amount of pressure they were releasing. He held his hand in the hair and karate chopped their head making the two stop with the two pouting at him as he said.
"Retract your pressure or you might kill Fubuki or Uncle Iroh. Luci, you know better to jump to conclusions knowing that it's only been few months that Rias got the chat group and knowing that those terrorist have plans on how to hide themselves theb it isn't strange for her brother to have trouble in finding them." Lucifer frowned and humph while Rias was happy that her lover took her side. Ryuu took a few moments and continued.
"Rias, feel free to continue." Rias nodded and said.
"As I was saying, we are working on finding the Khaos brigade and hope to stop them. Currently, we can't act too hastily since our enemies might change their course of action. Though, I know, Ryuu knows where they are but won't tell us then it's best to act in a way that they still think we're ignorant of their plans." Ryuu nodded since he only uses his true power if it calls for it and they are confident that victory is theirs but it is best if they act with plan. Not to mention, it is not being contradicted with his brother's presence and can't accurately see through everything. Fubuki seemed to frown and said,
"If he knows the plan then why does he just stop it in the first place? I mean he said this omnipotent then why doesn't he just use his power and finish our mission." Fubuki used logic and saw that if his power is infinite and boundless then why does he use his power to finish it and Iroh nodded but knew that might be the reason for it. Ryuu didn't mind the question and often wondered the real reason. Was it because he wanted to enjoy the mission? Perhaps. Is it because those who read this fanfic are able to enjoy it? Perhaps. Ryuu smiled and said.
"There is no reason nor logic in my action for that is what makes someone omnipotent for logic and reason cannot define my action anymore. Though if I were to logically explain my reason then you won't grow and reach higher potential than you do today. This is the same reason why my wife, Yesh, won't grant every being salvation when she is able to do it on whim? Logic and standard of mortals limited by the way of their thinking find it….baffling. they are more to my actions than meets the eye and you'll eventually come to understand it."
The words were complete nonsense for Fubuki unable to comprehend his meaning and illogical reason. Ryuu shook his head as there was no point in further explaining it and said.
"Regardless, I'll still help the best I can while guiding you through victory."
