Memories and cringe dialogues

"Gasper, just leave that room already. Onii-sama has finally got permission from the devil council to free you, don't waste this opportunity now," with her hands below her chest, Rias sighed, seeing as her other Bishop is not leaving the box he was in.

"H-heee! I can't! Please, leave me alone!" a girly shriek came from the cardboard box that was placed in the center of the room with nothing but candles and a single casket at the back.

"Sigh… are you still afraid of using your powers?" sighing, Rias asked, "You don't need to worry. We will train you to make sure you can control them."

"B-but… I might hurt someone with my powers! I-I don't want that to happen!" He replied, completely rejecting Rias's idea.

"This is going nowhere…" Issei, who was standing behind with Asia grumbled.

He and Asia had come excitedly to see the other Bishop of Rias and the mysterious Bishop but never would have guessed that he/she was a NEET, afraid to leave his/her room.

"Oi! Just come out already! As a man, how can you act so timid?" Issei kicked the box and said. He was still quite annoyed knowing that Gasper was a boy and not a girl. This might be the biggest surprise of his life currently, seeing a boy who had a girl's physique and even wore a girl's uniform, yet he was a boy!

"Heeeeeeeee!" A high-pitched voice came from the box as it vanished from its place and appeared at the corner of the room, "P-please, don't hurt me!"

"Eh?" dumbfound, Issei looked at the position where Gasper is, "When did he reach there?"

"That is Gasper-kun's sacred gear, Forbidden Balor View! It can stop the time of things within the user's field of view," with a hand on her right cheek, Akeno explained Gasper's ability much to Issei's disbelief.

"That's right," Kiba nodded, "It is also the reason why Gasper-kun was ordered to be sealed. Since the devils were afraid that he might be used by their enemies. After all, Gasper-kun can't control his powers."

"And this added to his shy and timid personality, he ended up becoming a NEET," Rias again released a sigh. She really didn't know what to do with her Bishop.

"Gaspy… come out already. You are making Buchou worried about you," with her expressionless face, Koneko said, "If you didn't leave, I'll force you."

"Nooooooo! I will not leave this room! Real-world is scary!"

When Rias was massaging her forehead, she heard a lazy and laid-back voice, "Hmm. So this is Gasper, your other Bishop that can control time."

"Master!?" A surprised voice left Rias mouth when she saw Wang Lei sitting in front of the box, completely not detected by any one of them. It was as if he appeared out of thin air.

Just like Rias and others, Gasper also was surprised by the sudden appearance of Wang Lei, making him unconsciously use his sacred gear to run away.

But to his surprise, he saw Wang Lei's eyes still observing him, even in the time pause.

"It is not a bad ability, I guess. But your control over time is just way too messy, to the point where I want to take this ability away from you," as the lord of the River of Time, and someone who could control the time to his liking, he felt that Gasper was wasting the sacred gear.

Not that it really mattered, but he wondered if trained properly, would Gasper be able to go back in time?

'It should be possible since he did come back in time to save Asia," he thought while rubbing his chin.

"You know time-related abilities, Master?" Rias's eyes shone with excitement, hearing Wang Lei.

"Time-related abilities?" Wang Lei smiled, "Well, I did read a little about it in an old book."

"Really?" Rias asked, a little doubtful since there were not many time-related abilities in the world. Even in the underworld, only Agares Clan was able to use it. It was enough to tell the rarity of the time users in the world.

"You come to know lots of things from books. Everything I know till now is from reading different pieces of literature," not only Rias but even Akeno and Kiba were looking at him with suspicious gazes.

"Then, can you train Gasper?" Rias asked.

Wang Lei smiled, "Are you sure?"

"Yes. I would really appreciate it since there is no one to help him train his sacred gear due to how special it is."

"Well…" rubbing his chin, he smirked, "Why not?" looking back at the scared Gasper, he picked him from his collar much to his protest.

"Now, now little Gasper, try no to struggle too much. After all, it might be the last time you are seeing the normal world."

"Huh? W-what do you mean?" nervous, Gasper asked.

Wang Lei smirked before he traced his finger in the air and a crack was created in the space, revealing a dark abyssal place at the other side, "This is a place filled with chaotic time-space complexities. Once inside, if the person doesn't have a certain understanding of Time Law, he can only dream of coming out of it alive. Also, the time is dilated there. So, one hour inside could be one second outside or vice versa. Honestly, it depends on the person's luck."

Everyone becomes wide-eyed, hearing his description of the place beyond the crack while having the same question in their minds: Just what kind of book did you read to be able to open a portal to such a place? Can they also read it?

Meanwhile, Gaper already had tears in his eyes, hearing the whole description of the place. His whole body was shivering with fear as he looked at the abyssal hole in front of him. Even his sacred gear couldn't help him since no matter what he did, he was not able to stop Wang Lei.

It was as if Time itself rejecting to make a move on him.

"Well, I have set some locks on the exit to make it easy," Wang Lei said, "If you are not even able to break those locks, then you can forget about coming out of it. And yes, those locks are related to certain time theories with each having its own meaning and concept."

"Buchou…" tears already falling from his eyes, he looked pleadingly towards Rias, who looked away. Even though she was worried, she didn't want to stop Wang Lei. After all, if it was Wang Lei who taught her and Akeno too.

Seeing her looking away, Gasper becomes even more devastated and looked at his other peerage members.

Since Wang Lei was almost a God in Asia's eyes, she didn't think anything was wrong. After all, God has its own method for everything. A mortal would never understand it.

"Are you sure it is alright, Buchou?" Issei asked but was kicked at the back by Koneko, "... Master is never wrong."

Ignoring them, Wang Lei threw Gasper in the gap as his screams slowly vanished and the gap closed.

"Well, we hope that he can come out," Wang Lei laughed softly, not giving a flying shit that he

just sent Gasper to the place from where he might not come out on its own.

"Will it work?" even though she believed Wang Lei, but as the King of her peerage, she was still quite worried about him.

"Who knows? It depends on how well he performs, to be honest," Wang Lei replied.

Rias and others could only sigh and believe in Gasper now and could only wish that he is able to learn his powers better.

After spending some time with them, at the same time, filtering with Akeno, Rias, Asia, and Koneko, Wang Lei left.

Rias also invited him to go to the underworld with him to attend Youth Meeting. He was going to deny it but then he remembered something and agreed to go with her.

Obviously, Rias and her peerage were happy to hear it.

After talking with them for some time, Wang Lei left and slowly walked back to his cafe. Nothing much happened except him helping an old lady crossing the road.

RING~

The sound of a bell resounds as Wang Lei opened the cafe door and walked in. Many customers looked in his direction before going back to their meal.

Since he was considered quite handsome in this world, and more importantly this world being the world of DxD, it was no a surprise that his cafe was mostly filled with young and mature women.

One would rarely see a man sitting in his cafe. Not that they didn't want to enter. After all, who would not want to enter a cafe that is filled with girls with heavenly beautiful women serving them?

It is just that, there was rarely any space left for the man to enter.

Without Wang Lei knowing, his cafe had become some kind of meeting point for the women of Kuoh Town.

"Master~!" as he entered, two balls of energy shot towards him and hugged his legs. Who else but Chocola and Vanilla?

Both had a big smile on their face as they rubbed their faces with his leg, quite disappointed that they can't reach his face.

Wang Lei smiled and picked them up, "How are you guys doing? Are you having fun?" he asked.

"Um! Chocola is having a lot of fun playing with Sister Ying'er. Hong'er, Evil, and You'er! Even though sister You'er doesn't talk much."

"Vanilla also has lots of fun!" the little white-haired catgirl added.

Wang Lei giggled and kissed them on their forehead, "It is good that you are having fun," he said, "Can you call sister Ying'er for me? Tell her that master is waiting for her."

"Okay!" Both shouted before running back to the kitchen.

Wang Lei didn't stay there and left for his room. AnBai wanted to accompany him but he stopped her. He wanted it to be only him and Ying'er as to not let others see her.

Reaching his room, he picked a random book from the shelf and started to read it while waiting for Ying'er.

It didn't take long for his pervert maid to arrive.

As always, even with all the embarrassment she had to go through, she still had her same smirk on her face. Entering the room, she smirked seeing Wang Lei and asked, "Calling me in your room… does master wants some kind of 'service' from this maid?"

Wang Lei smiled while enjoying her looks. Though she has never taken her mask since she has come here, Wang Lei didn't force her to do so.

He has already seen her face the first time she was delivered. Even though she was beautiful beyond belief, it was not something that would make him salivate after.

Currently, she was wearing a golden and fiery red maid uniform that complimented her golden hair. Though a part of her face was hidden, one could still see her plump rosy lips.

Her body was tall and fully matured - a perfection maybe.

"Hmm. I was not wrong in calling you a perverted maid. Always seeking pleasure from your master."

Ying'er becomes quiet hearing him. She was gritting her teeth in indignation. After all, no one has ever dared to call her with such a name. Even behind her back, no one dared.

And yet this man, not only called her such but even played with her. Even changing her into something called catgirl. Not that she was not aware of what it was anymore.

After all, living in a modern world, she was bound to know about certain things. One of such things being the internet and its versatility of finding anything she wished.

She really wondered sometimes as to how such weak mortals were able to come up with such a thing.

"But I am only perverted for master~," she purred, definitely not willing to admit defeat so easily.

Wang Lei smiled before asked, "Ying'er, can you tell me more about your past?"

The question stunned her, making her stare at him for a good minute. Since the time she has been here, in this world, this might be the first time he has called her name and asked her about her past. Of course, she was startled.

But her mood definitely fell a lot. Her past was not something pleasing, not to her at least.

"Why?" was the only question she could ask.

She didn't mind, really. To her, even though she hated talking about it, it was just a past for her. Something she can neither touch nor change. But she wanted to know why he was so interested in her past all of sudden.

"No reason in particular," Wang Lei said while thinking of a way to bring it to her, "You know, I love reading books and I always found some interesting things in them. Maybe I am a talented scholar as I can drive many things just from the stories. As the Brahma Goddess, I am really curious as to how you become one."

"Humph!" she scowled, leaving her playful personality, "Stop beating about the bush. I lust for power; I trained and received the Brahma God Inheritance and become what I am today. That's all. Did you find anything interested, 'master'?"

Not minding her tone even a little bit, Wang Lei rubbed his chin, "Indeed, it is quite an interesting story," he said while looking at her for a second before sighing, 'Guess I'll use it. Really, such things are really not my thing.'

He looked at her and asked, "Are you interested in deviation?"

Still, with a frown on her delicate face, she asked, "What? Are you in verse with the art of deviation too?"

Wang Lei clapped his hands, "Of course! I read it in a book once."

Ying'er face twitched wondering where can she find such books.

"I'll deviate your future where abnormality like me never existed. How about it?" he asked, quite relaxed.

"Abnormality like you?" she asked, confused.

"Oh! I never told you, right? But I thought that with your intelligence, you must have found out about it."

"... So you are not from Primal Chaos," she said. It was not hard for her to deduce it since she came to know about the existence of other worlds.

At first, she thought that she was on a random planet of Primal Chaos, but she was wrong. This energy that she felt on this planet never existed in Primal Chaos, only bringing her to a conclusion that she was not in the Primal Chaos anymore.

A really dreadful thought, yet so exciting and alluring.

Wang Lei clapped his hands, "Good! You really did not disappoint me. But yes, I do not belong to Primal Chaos. It is more like Primal Chaos belong to me, but that is not the topic today."

He stood from his place and walked to her, "So I was going to predict your future as such where I never existed. Isn't it fascinating? Knowing about yourself that is not you."

A silent stretch as Ying'er kept looking him into his eyes while her mind worked at a fast speed, trying to find answers. She had a really bad premonition about what is going to happen, yet her thirst for knowledge overshadowed it.

"Very well. I would like to see it too," she said.

Hearing her, Wang Lei smirked, "I hope you are able to take it in and not become a broken doll."

"Stop saying nonsense and do it already," she said, a little impatient as the annoying feeling increasing with each passing second.

Wang Lei didn't say anything else and touched her forehead and used Time Laws to project her the future without his intervention in Primal Chaos. He didn't show her what he read, but what would happen.

Ying'er's eyes become hollow as she stood there, rooting at her place.

Her mind went through many years as a large number of memories were passed to her. She saw how she met Yun Che; her proposal of marriage to him and him denying it; her chasing after him and Xia Qingyue; her placing seal on him and her becoming his slave; how her father told her the truth about her mother's death to how she again become Yun Che's slave but different this time around.

These memories, or more like her future flowed to her mind her flowing water.

Wang Lei didn't disturb her and patiently waited for her.

After some time, the light returned to Ying'er's eyes, yet they looked hollow. For the first time, after the death of her mother, Ying'er felt something sharp piercing her chest.

She felt tons of emotions, and the biggest one of them was regret and anger. Regret of ever believing her father and anger at herself for believing him.

A small tear left her eyes as she gripped her chest, the pain being unbearable for her.

'How laughable. Me, one of the most vicious women in Primal Chaos, was being used all the time. How laughable. To think… I ever had a family.'

"Hehe... hahaha!" Her laughter rang in the room as tears kept falling from her eyes.

The only man she ever trusted, the only man she ever believed was worthy of her attention, the only man she believed was worthy of her time, the only man, that after her mother, she ever loved like family - she was just a tool for him.

'Maybe this is what others felt when I used them as a toy?'

Looking at her broken laughter, Wang Lei sighed.

'In the end, she has some daddy issues.'

Waking up to her, Wang Lei was about to touch her face when she slapped his hand away, "Don't touch me! Don't you take pity on me!" She shouted with tears still leaving her face.

"Pity? You talk funny little girl," Wang Lei narrowed his eyes, "I pity none for everything is meaningless in front of the grand scheme. I don't have much free time to pity someone who has lost themselves in something insignificant."

"I am just amused at how weak you are," he said without any hint of emotional fluctuation in his voice, "Or maybe I thought highly of you."

"Ying'er, I thought you were different from ordinary women," rubbing her cheeks, Wang Lei said, "A strong woman that sought strenght above all. I really like-no, I loved that part of you. To be able to pursue a single thing, not many can do or achieve that."

"A human heart is fragile, like a porcelain vase. A little pressure and it might break. But some polishing can make it the toughest metal to exist. Is your heart that fragile woman?"

Silence stretched for a certain time before Ying'er slapped his hand away from her face. She quietly looked at him. She was strong, not only physically but also mentaly. No one who reached Divine Master was mentaly weak.

But can she kill her father and fight against the whole Realm all alone? She didn't need to think for an answer that was obvious. So what can she do?

Her eyes lingered at Wang Lei as the memories of his women trashing her flashed past her mind.

Since the time she has come here, she never forgot her pursuit for strength. That's why she has been following every one of Wang Lei's commands while at the same time trying to find as many secrets of his as she could.

She knew that even if he looked ordinary from the outside, he was or might be the strongest existence in Primal Chaos currently. And she was aware that she was not wrong, not after she heard his talk with the dark overlord at Kuoh Academy.

Like Rias and others, she also saw those eyes and she could easily feel the pressure that was being released from the person hidden behind those eyes.

She felt utter terror just by looking at him. She felt like a random ant in front of him, yet that person was afraid of Wang Lei. Only this was enough for her to know how heaven-defying Wang Lei was.

A being that can transfer to different worlds and bring their powers with him - definitely not someone to mess with.

Moving her hand, she placed it on her mask and brought it down, revealing her celestial face enough to overshadow the world with her beauty.

Looking at Wang Lei, she went to one knee without any hesitation and said, "If you can help me in completing my revenge, then I don't mind being your personal slave."

It was not much different from the original future, as he says, she saw. But, at least, she liked Wang Lei's character more than Yun Che.

"Help you?" with an amused expression, Wang Lei raised her from her chin, "I don't help anyone, little girl. I am but just a passerby and a murder, neither a savior nor a hero. Where I stand, I am the Law. and my creed is simple, don't block my path for only death awaits those who do. A beautiful phase, Meet God; Slay God. Meet Devil; Slay Devil."

Ying'er smirked, hearing him, "Then as long as Brahma God Realm stood in your way, you will destroy them?"

Wang Lei smirked, "I like smart people."

If only Fentian knew how he fucked up.
