151 Chapter 12: Leaving

"I think white hair suits me best," said Alex while looking at himself in the mirror, showing his completely new and different appearance.

He now stood at 6'3, with messy white hair and wine red eyes. He was now lean and more muscular, his muscles becoming even more define.

He has a golden horns above his ears, pointing upwards. His lower arms were covered by dark crimson carapaces with hands ending in sharp and deadly claws.

His knees down to his feet was also covered by the same dark crimson carapaces with his toes ending into a deadly claws.

"I didn't expect for some of my demon features to fuse with my human form though. Still, I feel great, like I could blow up a galaxy or something."

"Master could even destroy a universe if you create a powerful enough hypernova or create a black hole large enough to swallow the entire universe." Said Judecca, who was standing at the side.

Alex blinks his eyes several times as he stared at Judecca, "Wait, I can do that now? I mean, won't my body blow up if I use too much magic?"

Judecca nodded, "Indeed, but master can survive even without a body. Master's soul, along with Judecca has transcended beyond comprehension. We won't die even if we are killed?"

"I see." Alex nodded with a grin, before realizing something, "Wait, did you just quote Shirou Emiya? You watch anime?"

"Judecca have a life too."

Alex shot her an amused look before asking, "Anyway, what if someone wanted to mess with my soul?"

"Impossible," she shook her head, "Only something beyond conceptual skills will be able to hurt or even touch master's soul. Even the concept of "Anti-Interference" Judecca put in master's soul disappeared."

"Hoh?" Alex raised an eyebrow in surprise. 'So that's why Urara couldn't read my fortune, because I have already became someone incomprehensible.'

"Anyway," He snapped his fingers, hiding his demonic features with illusions. Returning to his human appearance. "Let's go and see the others."

The master and the blade then walked out of the workshop and went straight towards the Inn's dining room.

There, they saw Alex's generals, except for the former Hollows as they haven't returned yet, dressed formally and looking serious and worried.

Alice, well, she was watching some anime on Hanzo's laptop.

Alex noticed that Sagiri and her cousin, Hibari, along with Suzuno were tired. So he decided to ask them, "What's wrong you three?"

Sagiri sighed and caressed her forehead, "We're dealing with the ordinary people, trying to keep them away from supernatural. We don't know for sure what's the cause of the setting of the sun this early in the morning, but we need to keep the ordinary people safe."

"Not only that, the hollows and evil yokais seems to have gone berserk. They have been attacking everywhere! And it's not only limited to Japan but the entire world!" Said Hibari.

"I have been helping them keep the ordinary people safe, the Chuuma Ninjas could barely deal with the sudden increase of attacks from Hollows and Evil Youkais," said Suzuno, "It feels like they have become stronger."

"That's natural," said Alex as everyone turned towards him, "The only reason why the Hollows and Evil Yokais liked to work at night is because the Negative Spirit Particles are more concentrated at that time. But now, with the Positive Spirit Particles starting to diminish and the Negative Spirit Particles rapidly increasing, it's only natural for the—"

Alex's eyes widened in realization before looking at Alice. As the a fragment of Yesod, which is related to the moon, Alice is much more sensitive to the Negative Spirit Particles.

During night, she always subconsciously absorbs it which makes her more energetic and mischievous.

She only calmed down when it was morning where the Positive Spirit Particles are more abundant.

To his relief, she wasn't absorbing more than usual. It was probably thanks to all protection granted by the artifacts/clothes/toys/accessories he has given her.

"What is it?" Emi asked, noticing his reaction.

If Alex heard her he decided to ignore her, 'Wait, then what about Alice's sister that was left with Emi's mother? She'll go mad due to the explosive increase of Negative Spirit Particles!'

"Emi."

"Yes?"

Alex turned towards her, "Do you know where your father is? He might be in danger."

"What!?" Her eyes widened as she grabbed his hands, "What do you mean he's in danger!? What happened?!"

Alex sighed and pressed her forehead with her index and middle finger, sending some info directly into her brain.

She took a step back as her mind processed the information. Her eyes widened in horror, "Oh no,"

"Mama?" Alice looked up to Emi with a confused look. Due to their connection, with a fragment of Yesod fused with Emi's sword which was also fused with her, Alice can feel that Emi genuinely scared and worried.

Alex pulled her closer to him, "If you're worried then let's go and help him. Fuck the summit, you are more important."

Emi calmed down and shook her head, "No, you go and attend the summit, I'll go and meet up with my father. Don't worry, I can take care of my self."

Alex sighed and nodded, "Fine. But take Hanzo with you. He might be a lazy shut-in, but he knows more about Sephira than most of us here."

"Dude," Hanzo deadpanned.

Emi looked at Hanzo doubtfully, but seeing Alex's expression, she reluctantly agreed, "...Fine."

Silvery white wings appeared on her back as she said her farewells to everyone, and giving Alex a peck in the lips before flying outside.

Hanzo sighed and shot Hisui a look, who just gave him a nod before materializing his pitch black wings and followed after his queen.

"We'll be leaving as well," said Sagiri as she put an earpiece on her right ear, "There's another Hollow in district six, we need to move now."

She glanced at Alex who just gave her a smile. Flustered, she quickly look towards Suzuno and Hibari before her figure faded out of existence.

Hibari and Suzuno just seem confused but followed after her and disappeared as well, while Chitose and Nonko just giggled.

Alex then turned towards the other people in the room, "Alright, you guys and sta—"

A ripped in space suddenly appeared as Starrk, Harribel, Lilynette, Sung-sun, Apacci, and Mila Rose walked out of it.

They were also being followed by a gorgeous green haired woman with a Hollow mask with horns on her head.

"You two!" Ashiya pointed at Starrk and Harribel, "Being late when the King has called for you is very unbecoming of a General! And you even brought a stranger in our stronghold! How bold of you!"

"Hahaha! Chill dude," Genshiro laughed and patted Ashiya's shoulder, "I'm sure they have a good reason to be late."

Ashiya took a deep breath and nodded at Genshiro, "Indeed. So tell me, why are you late? You made my liege wait for you."

Harribel sent a quick glare at her Fraccion who was about to attack Ashiya in annoyance, "Well, for some reason, Hollows in Hell started to get more stronger and aggressive and so decided to first investigate the reason why."

"Yeahwn~" Starrk yawned, "We don't know how or why though. Vasto Lorde class just started appearing and went on a rampage. In fact, if we didn't tightened the seal in Hell, those guys would've gone to killing spree here on the world of living."

Ashiya frowned, and nodded, "I see. So even the Hollows in Hell were affected as well."

"As well?" Harribel asked.

"Yeah," Alex nodded, "Something happened that somehow caused the Positive Spirit Particles to start diminishing and the Negative Spirit Particles to rapidly increase."

"I see," the green haired woman spoke, "So that's why I feel agitated and a bit annoyed. If I wasn't an Arrancar I would've been affected by this."

"Who's this beautiful lady?" Genshiro asked with a smile as he neared her, and grabbed her hands, "Ah~ such divine beauty! An epitome of perfection! Surely, a beauty such as yourself is a gift from the heavens! An angel meant only for god! Which is me by the way. I am no photographer! But I sure can picture us together! So with that being said...will you marry me?"

"...err..."

"Ignore him!" Lilynette kicked Genshiro in the shin, causing the dragon god to winced and dropped to the floor, "Back off lizard, you're creepy."

"C-Creepy...!?" Genshiro looked like he has received the greatest shock in his life.

"Cough...anyway..." Lilynette began with a cough on her fist, "This is my friend Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck, you can call her Nel. She became the ruler of hell to keep the place in peace."

"Nice to meet you all," Nel gave a small smile.

Alex nodded as did the others, greeting her with a smile. "Anyway, you two hurry up and get dressed we're leaving."

"Hm," Harribel nodded along with Starrk and went out to change their clothes.

After a few minutes they returned, now dressed formally. Alex nodded and turned towards Nel, "Okay, Nel was it? Can you stay here for a bit? We'll talk later, we have a very important meeting to attend."

"Very well." Nel nodded.

Alex turned towards the others, "We'll be leaving now guys." He then turned towards Judecca, "Take care of Alice for me will you?"

Judecca just bowed her head.

Alex turned towards Alice, "Little princess, Papa is leaving now, why don't you come here and give me a kiss."

Alice took her eyes of the screen and wobbly walked towards her papa, who crouched and and picked her up. The little Sephira giggled and gave him a peck on the cheek.

The demon king smiled and put her back down, caressing her head, "Bye princess, I'll see you later."

"Nyanpasu~" said Alice as she raised her hand.

Alex paused, blinking his eyes several times at the familiar word, "Where did you heard that?"

"Ther!" Alice pointed at the laptop where she was watching an anime showing a girl with light purple hair styled in twin tails. "Nyanpasu~!"

Alex snorts in amusement before caressing her head before she walked back to continue watching.

Alex stood up and looked at his generals.

He then took out the invitation he received and sent some of his magic in it.

A glowing circle appeared on the floor, and with a flash, Alex and his generals disappeared.
