Chapter 8: Return For Another Time

Month: 6 | Week: 3 | Day 3: Well, This Isn't A Surprise Part 2

(Unknown Forest)

"Why did you bring her here with us?!" Yoruichi shouted at me, as she pointed at Serafall, who was the one that tried to tackle me from escaping Kuoh Town, but end up coming with us instead.

"I didn't. She tried to stop me from coming here. The better question is, why she didn't use any [Devil Magic] to stop me instead of physically stop me." I said to everyone, looking at Serafall, who look away while whistling like she didn't do anything wrong.

"Would you believe me that I'm considered a traitor to my race now after someone leaked out that I'm in a relationship with you?" Serafall gives me an innocent look, which really suits her if I didn't know she is a Devil, a Satan-rank Devil that is.

"How?! I wasn't even gone for less than an hour!" I'm starting to think maybe it was Vali or someone among Rias and Sona's peerages that accidentally revealed this information to the higher up.

"Well, let's just say someone said something, then everyone started shouting at each other, and in the end, I lost my status as one of the Four Satans. Furthermore, I can't return back to the Sitri Clan due to losing my status with them already upon becoming the Leviathan. It's pretty much a one-sided deal for me. Compared to the other Satans. I'm just happy Sona will be okay without me being there for her. After all, she is doing well since then. I did leave something behind to help her when she needs my help." Serafall explained what happen while I left them at the time, who knew things went out of control due to my presence.

"Wow, your people are quick to do something without thinking things through. Don't they remember you're the one that is in charge of Foreign Affairs? Won't it be a lot harder for them to gain allies without you?" Yoruichi asks Serafall, who looks like she just remembers this, causing the rest of us, but Asia, to sweatdrop at this.

"What can you say, we're Devils. Plus, for certain Clans, I would be lucky to escape with my life, too bad they're extinct." Serafall gives everyone a devilish smile, that shows she may have a hand in these Clans to go extinct.

"So, you're pretty much with us now from this point on?" I ask Serafall, who jumps off me and spin around, then give me her usual Magical Girl's pose, but without wearing her Magical Girl's outfit.

"You bet your sexy ass, I am~!" Serafall gives me a smile, then wink at the end.

The only one that found this display amusing or something interesting was Asia, as she claps at Serafall's performance, causing the former Leviathan to giggle that Asia looks happy to see how she has done her pose.

"Well, we better leave this place before whatever powers will force us back into Kuoh Town, as that's where the main focus point is before things get crazy." I quickly create another rift in space with [Flash Air] to send us further away from Japan.

(Unknown)

While I fill everyone in how the universe we're in comparison to mine, Yoruichi had to explain to Serafall about the whole multiverse things and that I'm not a native in this universe compared to them, and how it's more fixed on certain things to allow the main events to occur.

With me taking Asia and Serafall herself, causing both of them to be shocked how much their existence really worth, not that both of them haven't experienced it already, but on a larger scale wasn't something they would think at all.

Furthermore, there is a high possibility that they will be hunted down by the Three Factions for multiple reasons. We can't even go to the Yokai Faction without risking being betrayed as the Three Factions will put pressure onto the Yokai to give us up instead of protecting, not as it would happen in the first place.

After all, we're only a single group of small numbers without any backing. Not that we weren't weak. In some ways, most of us are considered weak, but in specialized paths, we're stronger than others. So at the rate, we're going. We may need to find a way to send us to a different parallel dimension. I would say universe, but I know for sure no one is willing to send our little group to the next universe. So better if it's a parallel dimension instead, not that it won't be the same. Just that, I won't be able to reunite with Pyrrha and Shigure much to my disappointment.

Furthermore, with the Deities in this dimension still active, then it's bound for one of them to look for my groups, just because of our [Skills Set]. Also, I'm still not ready to face an army of powerful beings yet. One on one, I could do. Four on one, I could barely do. Anywhere above that, I can't do unless they are grunts.

"Anyone of you got some kind of [Dimensional Techniques] to transfer us to a different parallel dimension from the one we're in?" I ask the girls, as I continue to spam [Flash Air] to stop from other tracking us down by sensing the space of where I send us to different locations.

Now, that I think about it. I feel like in this new life of mine. I'm just gathering a harem for my own. Then escape from the focused point of the main events/plots before it starts or pushes me into a position that forced me to do things that required the next event to begin.

At least, Asia is my adopted daughter and not part of my harem. But, honestly, I'm kind of glad to have them. Now, I don't have to worry about becoming an emotionless killing machine to find a way to return back to my RWBY universe, not that I won't stop.

I narrow my eyes at Serafall, but quickly stop before anyone noticed. Well, only Seira would notice if she was paying attention to me at the moment, but too busy trying to focus on absorbing all the aspect of Death into her [Death Scythe].

"Seriously, anyone?" I notice how some of the girls are thinking really hard about this for a few minutes now. I could grab that [Second Magic: Kaleidoscope] to give me the ability to move through parallel worlds. But, the price is just too much.

The price for the [Second Magic] is shockingly at 2 million [System Points] to purchase it at [Rank: Basic], which should only allow me to create a portal to another parallel world than the one I'm in.

Yeah, I may have a hard time to earn that large amount of [System Points] if I just rely on the [Type-Moon System] to reward me of my effort to discover other methods to use the [Magecraft].

But, with the [Mystic Codes] I have created so far, I could just buy the materials, then sell the finishing products for profits in return for labor. I can easily earn 2 million [System Points] in time.

(Unknown City)

"Okay, seeing as none of you girls have any methods for parallel world travel. I'll have to come up with something. But, I may require some time before I reach the point of doing so." I said to the girls, as I stop using [Flash Air] as we reached one of the Cities Yoruichi, Artoria, and I have traveled before coming to Kuoh Town.

Honestly, I still can't tell if Artoria does possess a method to travel between dimensions or an entire universe, because the way she came into this universe or maybe another parallel world from this one to her's.

"What will we be doing while waiting for you?" Serafall asks me, seeing how this is something that requires only a single person to do and doesn't need others; well, besides restocking on the materials, but that doesn't apply right now thanks to the [Type-Moon System].

Of course, no one knows about it. So, the girls only know that I have some kind of inheritance of knowledge for me to use, which wasn't false, but not true at the same time.

"I don't know. Do some sightseeing? But, make sure Artoria doesn't get you, girls, ban from the restaurants around the place." I said to Serafall, as I pass Yoruichi my share of the money I got from selling a few golds and jewels I created through [Alchemy]. "Oh, yeah. Here. You may need more funds just in case I end up spending longer than a day or two." I grab a few rocks, then use [Alchemy] to transmute the rocks into precious jewels and pass it to Serafall and Yoruichi.

Looking at Artoria, who looks like she didn't want me to be all alone, but knew that I need to focus on all I can so we could leave.

It requires both Yoruichi, Serafall, even Asia, to get Artoria to find a place to stay while finding a place to sell the jewels as well.

1 week later*

Month: 6 | Week: 4 | Day 3: Wow, I Did Not Expect This

(Unknown City)

Well, I have expected it would take me more than an entire week, with breaks in-between, as in other than the bathroom and eating breaks, which include the girls, not including Asia. But, nonetheless, I have successfully gained the [Second Magic] after a long time of making lots of [Mystic Codes] and selling it to the [Type-Moon System].

[Second Magic]:

Description: The [Second Magic], known as [Zelretch] or [Kaleidoscope], is one of the five remaining [Magics]. There is little known about this [Second Magic] is that it encompasses the [Operation of Parallel Worlds]. Allow one and others to move through parallel worlds. Along with other effects.

Type: Active

Target: Varies

Rank: Basic

Cost: Varies

In fact, thanks to this, I've gained the experiences to improve the quality of the [Mystic Codes] and could make the [Quality: Epic] 7 out of 10 tries now. Well, that only applies to the [Mystic Code: Zipper]. While other [Mystic Codes] are at [Uncommon Quality] or below.

I just continue working on the [Mystic Code: Zipper] instead for the entire week after finding the profits I could get from this [Mystic Code] alone than the other ones. 'But, damn, over half a year, I already got the [Second Magic]. Maybe a few more months and I will have the other four [Magics] from the [Type-Moon System].'

However, before I start using the [Second Magic]. Serafall request me to visit the Yokai Academy before we leave, as she needs to leave something behind for the Headmaster of the Yokai Academy.

"Hey, Yoruichi. Think you will meet any friends of yours back at the Yokai Academy? After all, it has been months since we left." I said to Yoruichi, as I use [Flash Air] to create a pathway to the Yokai Academy.

"Nope. Got no friends that I could think of." Yoruichi replied with a shrug, as she was mostly a loner back in school before leaving with her lover.

"Do you think there will be nice Yokai like Mother Yoruichi?" Asia asks Yoruichi, as both Yoruichi and Artoria agreed to be both mothers to Asia, even Serafall got Asia to call her mama, causing the Devil to squeal in happiness.

"Nah. Trust me on this. Almost 80% of the students and teachers in the Yokai Academy will gladly kill each other, more with humans the moment the Yokai discover a human nearby. The Yokai Academy is trying its best to get rid of this nature before releasing them back to the human world." Yoruichi carefully explains to Asia how the Yokai at the Yokai Academy is still considered dangerous to humans.

(Yokai Academy)

"Well, what is going on here?" I ask the Yokai Academy's Bus Driver, who was shocked to see me, along with the other people nearby.

I just realize I'm literally close to the end of the season 1 of Rosario + Vampire's storyline. And it looks like all the Yokai Academy's students reveal their "true self", which is their real appearance and what they desire and I must have missed the one that caused this, as I can't find her unless I use my [Detection Skills].

"Hey, Serafall. You may want to meet up with the Headmaster now. Because I got the feeling you won't be able to find him after this whole thing is over." I said to Serafall, as I ignore how almost everyone is trying to look away from me, causing me to sweatdrop that I forgot to wear my sunglasses.

"I really need a pay raise after this." The Bus Driver Yokai mumble to himself, then walk over to the female human, which is the main character of the Rosario + Vampire cousin. "You're called Kyoko-chan, right? Stay by my side, it'll be much safer. Trust me, you'll need it thanks to those people here now." The Bus Driver Yokai said to Tsukune's cousin. Then, glance at my group before slowly shaking his head.

"You may want to go now. Fast." I said to Serafall while ignoring what's going on in front of us, where Tsukune's harem trying to seduce him.

"Alright." Serafall uses her [Magic Circle] to teleport herself away, seeing as she in this pocket dimension now. It's a lot easier for her to reach the Headmaster of the Yokai Academy than before.

BOOM!*

"What was that?!" Asia cried out in shock, causing Yoruichi and Artoria to stand next to Asia right away.

"Hmph. Seem like the Ishigami's 'Game' has started." Moka replied to Asia's question, along with anyone else that interested in what's going on.

Moka, who is in her true form, with her [Rosary Cross] still attached around her neck, turns around to look at Tsukune and the others.

"Tsukune, I'm going after her. This is where we part. Do not follow me." Moka gives everyone a smile filled with confidence. While trying to ignore my group's presence.

"Moka-san?!" Tsukune cried out in shock, "Wa-Wait... If you're going after Ishigami-sensei, I'll also-"

"Don't be stupid. I only want to take back the mirror." Moka turns her back on Tsukune, "With that mirror, I'll be able to awaken even if I'm wearing the [Rosary Cross]. In other words, with it, I'll be able to switch places with the other me at any time. I won't need to rely on you to remove the [Rosary Cross]."

These words caused something to break in Tsukune from what everyone could see on his face.

Before someone could say anything, I appear in front of Moka, causing her to freeze in her step and look at me with a scared look on her face.

I grab Moka's [Rosary Cross], using [Structural Grasp] once more, seeing how I have it at a higher [Rank] than the last time I use it on the [Rosary Cross] months ago. Then, using [Alteration] to pull the [Rosary Cross] off the chain connected to the choker on Moka's neck.

"Seeing how I'm going to leave this place. Better make things more interesting." I mumble to myself, as I use [Flash Air] while using the [Rosary Cross] as a pathway, where I found Akasha Bloodriver the first time.

But, this time, I'm pulling her outside from within Alucard's body, which I was glad that she wasn't really merged with Alucard because of the time that has past.

To everyone's shock, they see another person that looks like the Outer Moka upon being pulled out from the rift in space.

I didn't pause for a moment, and use [Alteration] once more on the [Rosary Cross] and awakens Akasha from her deep sleep.

Not taking any chance with Alucard's original body. I use [Time-Skip], then I create multiple [Sealing Rune Spells], along with other types of [Rune Spells] to prevent others from using this body and some way to release it. Afterward, I stop using [Flash Air], closing the rift in space.

All this is done within a matter of seconds, with a few extra seconds gained through [Time-Skip].

"Wow, this actually took a lot more than I thought." I mumble to myself, as my [Soul Energy] and [Prana] reserve went down more than it should. Then again, I literally did use my [Magecraft] on a larger scale than it should be possible.

"Tsukune-kun!" Akasha shouted the first thing she woke up, causing the others to look at Akasha with disbelief and wonder if this was really Outer Moka or someone else, but the moment she shouted Tsukune's name; well, she just confirms a few people's unspoken questions.

"No way..." I heard Moka mumble in disbelief, which proves to me that Moka didn't believe me at all when I told her about the [Rosary Cross] having a connection with her Mother.

"You know, I'm kind of surprised that you managed to find the materials to make this." I said to Akasha, as I continue to look at the [Rosary Cross], causing Akasha to pale in fright.

Noticing this at the corner of my eyes, and find myself wondering if it's because Akasha is weak or something, to be afraid of me.

"Hey, Rokudo-kun. What with all this?!" Yoruichi is a little freaked out that her lover somehow, pulled out a lady out of nowhere and she saw the other side of the portal, and she did not like what it was. Furthermore, the aura she felt from whatever that thing was made her want to run away, but that's just a feeling. Yoruichi only needs a few minutes to get used to it. Unlike the time she needs to get used to her lover's eyes. Yup, being able to look into her lover's eyes without flinching kind of made her developed a resistance to be afraid of lots of things.

"Well, seeing how things are getting out of hands. May as well, give your former classmates a fighting chance as my good deed for the year and as their former teacher too." I said to Yoruichi, who didn't believe me one bit, but knew this was all she going to get out of me. "We may want to quickly leave before things get out of control, and by that, I mean our chance to leave will be close to zero after today." Thanks to gaining the [Second Magic], even at [Rank: Basic]. I could feel space-time better than ever and could tell that something is slowly increasing the resistance for me to open a portal to a different parallel dimension.

I got the feeling I may have caused countless problems, and this dimension is out to get me. After all, I've already taken two of the characters from Highschool DxD. While Yoruichi may not be part of it, but I could guess she had done something in the background to help the main characters in the future.

Ignoring Moka and the others. My group quickly rushes off and using [Flash Air] to reunite with Serafall, who just finished with her business with the Headmaster. Which is time for us to leave this dimension.

No clue why I was sent here, but at least I formed a harem for myself even if it's by accident. Not like the other harem main characters in other series isn't the same situation as me.

"You know, this kind of look like the [Dimensional Gap]." Serafall comments on the portal I just created with [Second Magic], and I have to agree with her and wonder if [Type-Moon System] is using the [Dimensional Gap] for the [Second Magic].

"I-" I was about to say something, when something, someone, came out of the portal from the other side before we could even enter the portal to the new parallel world.

To everyone and mostly mine are shocked that a woman came out of the portal, with a [Katana]'s tip at my neck, preventing the others from moving or risk the woman of killing me.

"I found you. Thought you can escape me, huh, Enma." The woman before me said to me, in an emotionless tone, causing Yoruichi and Artoria's eyes to widen. Since those two are the only know my past names as Enma Nikos.

"It's good to see you, Shigure. How you been?" I said in a weak voice. The woman that came out of the portal I just created with my [Second Magic] is Shigure and not just any Shigure from the multiverse. But, my Shigure from the RWBY universe, I was born in.

How do I know this? Well, the [Katana] that Shigure is using to threaten my life is the very same one I created when I had the [Persona System] and as Enma Nikos.

"Bad." Shigure narrows her eyes before getting closer to me, much to the girls' worry about this. Then, took a few sniffs of me, causing Shigure's eyes to light up. "Now, it's better." Shigure gives me a small smile before lowering her [Katana] and kiss me on the lip in front of everyone's eyes.

I could easily tell Serafall is crazy mad now, making me sweatdrop a little. While Yoruichi and Artoria look like they lost the battle or something.

"Who the hell is she?!" Serafall snarl and ready to freeze Shigure any second now.

"Who I am? I'm this guy's real wife." Shigure presses her breasts onto my chest and wraps her right arm around my neck as she points her [Katana] at Serafall with a blank glare.

"I'm pretty sure we never had a wedding." I mumble to myself, causing Shigure to direct her blank glare at me, as she gives me the look that I said the wrong answer. "And we will later." I quickly follow up when I felt multiple things poking my back and found out Shigure somehow figure a way to use the [Persona System]'s [Inventory] similar to the [Gate of Babylon], but without the whole showing any sign of appearing and look like Shigure found a way to make only part of the weapons to appear instead of the entire thing.

As I could only 'see' multiple blade tips belong to multiple [Spears] and [Swords]. So yeah, it looks like Shigure using the [Persona System]'s [Inventory] as hidden weapons storage or something.

"So, where Hana?" I ask Shigure, seeing how this is my Shigure, then our daughter should be with her, but I don't see her at all.

Shigure gives me a small, sad smile, "Enma. I don't know how long it has been for you. But, it has been thousands of years for me. After you gave me your last gift, I became immortal and can't die from old ages. I have outlived our own daughter and our grandchildren."

I pale at this, wondering how lonely Shigure has been for so long and I could easily tell without Shigure having to tell me, that Pyrrha also died as well. Seeing how only Shigure came out of the portal.

"Wait, how in the world you came out of that?" I point at the portal, with the other side look like the [Dimensional Gap] and wonder if it really is the same one as the Highschool DxD.

"Did you think I was just lazing around after the Darkness Era was over? I continue to improve myself and wait for the moment to reunite with you and don't think I'm stupid enough, to think you would die. Seeing how your last gift made me immortal. I don't think simply watching your body disappearing before my eyes are the sign of your death." Shigure look like she wanted to smack me for thinking she was lazy and didn't do anything for over thousands of years.

"Well, when you put it that way." I figure Shigure must have come up with something to track me down since she possesses the [Persona System]. So, Shigure only needs time before she gets the result she wanted.

"Hey! Mind telling us who this is?!" Serafall growl at me, getting both Shigure and my attention, that we're not alone.

"Uh, this is Shigure Kosaka, my fiancee and someone I know in my past. Before anyone asks. Yes, Shigure and I have a child between us before we got married. But, we have very good reasons." I knew both Yoruichi and Artoria are okay with Shigure, but saying it and doing it are two different things. So, I'm kind of worry about those two.

Asia looks okay with this, but with the confused look on her face. I figure she couldn't understand our words as we're speaking in a different language. The language barrier is a big problem, I really need to help Asia out with this soon.

"Okay, before we could argue with each other. We need to leave now. Shigure, you could easily tell that something stopping us from leaving this dimension if you managed to use my portal as a beacon to come here." I quickly get everyone to enter the portal before it sealed and I'll have to wait until I reach [Rank: Grandmaster] to leave this dimension, and maybe the universe as well.

All of us, much to some of us being frustrated, held onto each other's hands as we walk through the portal.

(Unknown Forest)

"Huh, I would expect us to be in that [Dimensional Gap]." I said to everyone, as we're in some unknown forest. To test out a theory of mine. I use [Flash Air] to see if I could open a pathway back to the previous universe we were in, but end up getting nothing. Not even any kind of pain from using it, to show that I failed to connect with something.

"Forget about that. Tell us about, this person before things get bad." Serafall point at Shigure, who looks like she wondering the same thing and why there more girls in my life.

A few hours later*

So for the next few hours, Shigure and I explain to everyone, including a few things I didn't mention to Yoruichi and Artoria. And that's the [System], which Shigure was shocked that I gained another one after I gave her mine.

Therefore, the girls, other than Shigure and me, are shocked we have something that could make us beyond powerful with enough time. Also, if find something that provides [System Points]; well, it becomes a pay-to-win situation in gaming terms.

Soon, Shigure and I explained to the others about our universe, which I kept the name to myself while Shigure and I just call it the Remnant Universe after the planet, seeing how neither Shigure or I travel outer space from Remnant. But, that didn't mean there aren't any other life forms out of Remnant.

However, to keep things simple, we call the universe Shigure and I belong to as the Remnant universe, while I kept the actual universe's name to myself.

Of course, someone knows this information as well, which is Seira, who is still doing her best to finish absorbing the aspect of Death.

Long story short, Shigure and I try our best to summarize most of the important events we experience without having to waste time to go into more details about what happened in those events. Which we can do later on when we feel like it.

Afterward, Shigure explained what happens after my 'death', causing Shigure to narrow her eyes at me before continuing her experience.

Well, there wasn't much to say besides that Shigure and Pyrrha went into hiding with Izaya, Weiss, and Winter for a decade. So, Shigure could gather enough [System Points] to unlock most of the [Fusion Skills/Magic] and other things.

What shocked me the most is that due to my action of devouring 99% of the [Sea of Souls] had caused a major change to the [Persona System]. Now, instead of having a [Gacha System] for Shigure to use in order to gain a new [Persona].

She can only gain new [Persona] by converting others into [Persona], either by killing them or making a contract with them. With the former being a bit tricky for her to raise the [Persona's Rank] without having to resort to using [System Points] to raise it. While the latter will still lead to the death of the target, as the target needs to die in order to be converted into a [Persona] by the [Persona System]. However, using this method would have a faster result in increasing the [Persona's Rank] and half the cost of raising the [Persona's Rank] through [System Points], unlike the previous method at full price.

To make things more interesting, by using these two methods, with the former, Shigure unlocks new [Skills], that the [Persona System] take from the memories of the new [Persona] and change it, along with improving it as well, allowing Shigure to buy the new [Skills] that on the path of killing. While the latter, Shigure will get [Skills] that on the paths of lifestyle. Meaning crafting or healing, something that won't end up killing others kind of things for [Skills].

On another note, Shigure revealed to me that Pyrrha continues to be with her. As Shigure discovered the second method through Pyrrha and the first person to be converted into a [Persona] through this method other than killing her enemies and turn into a [Persona].

Well, I'm happy to have both Pyrrha and Shigure back, but with Pyrrha as a [Persona] kind of make it a little weird for me; nonetheless, I'm still happy.

In a way, I could think Pyrrha is like Seira in some way.

Therefore, I was happy to see Pyrrha summoned outside of Shigure's [Sea of Souls] and found out that Pyrrha continues to hold the Fall Maiden's power, making Shigure much powerful than any other Maidens. Due to Shigure holding multiple [Persona], and with Pyrrha, she has access to the Fall Maiden's power as well.

Something that the new kingdoms tried to take for themselves when they found out about the Four Maidens.

Long story short, Pyrrha was converted into a [Persona] by Shigure 5 years later upon my 'death'.

So Pyrrha lived up to 26 years old, longer than her canon time, but this way, Pyrrha will continue to be with Shigure forever. Literally.

Of course, things got out of hands due to Pyrrha's 'death'. As many people were out to get Shigure, as people think Shigure is the new Fall Maiden. Not false, but not completely true either.

No one will be able to become the Fall Maiden ever again as the power is forever locked within Pyrrha's [Soul], which I find myself wondering if she could be considered a [Persona] at all.

As [Persona] are a reflection of oneself, but after giving Shigure some of my [Persona]. I would have to say the [Persona System] should be something else, but to keep things simple. Shigure and Pyrrha stuck with [Persona] seeing how they both got used to the whole thing for years.

Also, another change for the [Persona System] is that she can't fuse any [Persona], which I mention in the guidebook I left for Shigure. As it replaced with a [Sacrifice System] instead, where Shigure can give up a [Persona] to gain [System Points] in return.

Luckily for Shigure, the new [Skills] she unlocked through those [Persona] will stay as it has been recorded by the [Persona System]. So, Shigure has another method to gain [System Points] other than using [Dust] and the methods I placed down in my guidebook for Shigure.

After finding this, Shigure went on a killing spree until she killed all her enemies, then went into hiding as she started working on a selected type of [Skills], which is more focused on space and time, but mostly on space than time. Where Shigure successfully did, but at the cost of losing said [Skill] upon use.

Shigure explained how the [Skill] she was working on was a temporary creation [Skills], which is mainly used for experiments before creating the real deal and this was in the guidebook as well.

As the [Fusion Skill/Magic], requires countless experiments to do, because I rather not end up having a useless [Fusion Skill/Magic] taking up space, even if there an unlimited amount of [Skill/Magic Slots]. It will become an eyesore later on.

Also, it's cheaper to create the temporary one usage [Fusion Skill/Magic] than the permanent version, which varies depending on how many [Skill/Magic] is used to fuse into one. While the total cost will always increase by the number of totals [Skill/Magic] added together.

Either way, Shigure required hundred of years to get the right [Skill/Magic] to merge into one for a one-way trip. As it will take her a long time to gather enough [System Points] to create another one. And it will be even longer for the permanent version.

On another note, Shigure trained herself to be able to summon her [Persona] without the help of the [Evoker], but could only bring out 80% of the [Persona]'s power and last only 5 minutes.

Nonetheless, that's a big improvement compared back when I had the [Persona System].

Sadly, there are many downsides during the time Shigure gained the [Persona System] and during her thousands of years. One, she very sexually frustrated and Pyrrha was no help due to not staying outside Shigure's [Sea of Souls] longer than 5 minutes.

Asia blushed when Yoruichi translated for her, much to some of our amusement at this.

Another is that Shigure and Pyrrha's children died of old age, causing Shigure and Pyrrha to have to deal with having to watch over the family growing up until Shigure and Pyrrha couldn't take it any longer and left them. As they are no longer needed and it's best to be alone.

As multiple people from the next generations after the next would try to manipulate her for their personal benefits. Some even try to court Shigure due to her powerful status and young body. Too bad for them, Shigure only has one man in her heart, and that includes all the countless [Persona] she gathers over her thousands of years being the host of the [Persona System].

Yeah, this fact alone caused Serafall to hold Shigure's hands and outright told her, that Shigure has Serafall's massive amount of respect for this alone. As a fellow yandere, yeah, Serafall accepted this after listening to Shigure's background and the story before reuniting with her only loved one.

So, now Serafall and Shigure are best friend/sister. Making Yoruichi sweatdrop at this while the entire time Shigure and I were telling our stories. Artoria was taking down notes about the plans we used during our time together, but most of the things Artoria noted down was Shigure's methods to gain my attention during childhood. And that was before Shigure really got into sexual things, thanks to Blake's books.

Speaking of Blake.

Shigure informed me that Blake went off to destroy the White Fang after a certain event that she won't reveal, not because it's a secret to be held forever, but because Shigure never found out what the certain event all these years and just know it was due to someone's actions that caused this.

Another good news, thanks to me kill/devour Salem, I pretty much cut down the [Grimm] from spawning and now only the strongest and oldest [Grimm] are still alive up to this point, where Shigure last saw a few rare [Grimm] still wandering around while other trying to prove themselves to be a real Huntsmen and Huntresses, but failing due to not many [Grimm] around.

The [Shadow] on the hand, kind of tricky to do seeing as how only a selected few could hurt them, and well, Shigure is clearly no saint, neither is Pyrrha after I have been through with them. So yeah, Shigure and Pyrrha left the whole [Shadow] and [Dark Hour] problem to the rest of the people back in the Remnant universe.

"You know, I think I could figure a way to get Pyrrha out of your [Sea of Souls] and give her a permanent body that should be like her original, kind of, but I may have to recreate it after a few years." And by that, I meant the [Homunculus], which should be easy for me to make as an empty shell for Pyrrha to possess.

"Really?" Shigure asks with excitement, who wouldn't be excited to have her sister possess her own body again.

"Yup, there are these [Homunculus] I can create for Pyrrha to use until you need her back inside your [Sea of Souls]. Just don't expect me to be able to create it right now. I never worked on one before and rather not risk it with Pyrrha." I said to Shigure before she jumps into my arms and kiss me on the lip for a few seconds before hugging me with tears going down her cheeks.

Holding Shigure, I could read her mind and much to my shock. I found myself in a world of countless weapons around me and people? I can't tell with some of these beings are not humanoid at all. Then it clicks, I found out that I'm in Shigure's version of the [Sea of Souls].

Quickly, I exit it before I cause harm due to my [Archdemon Soul]. After all, I haven't gone through everything I need to know about having an [Archdemon Soul].

Shigure blinks a few times before looking at me with eyes widened in shock. "How did you enter my [Sea of Souls]?"

And it looks like Shigure could easily tell I accidentally enter her [Sea of Souls], causing the others nearby curious about this and wonder what Shigure's [Sea of Souls] is like.

So, I explained to Shigure how I could read people's minds through physical contact, but I somehow instead of reading her mind and end up in her [Sea of Souls], which Shigure told me Pyrrha saw me before I disappear before she could say anything.

"Now that's over with. Where the hell are we?" I glance around the forest, with Shigure still in my arms, and she doesn't look like she willing to let go anytime soon. I can't blame her, as it was thousands of years for her while it's been half a year for me. Not counting the time I spend in that black void before coming gaining my new body as Asura Rokudo.

Also, Shigure and Pyrrha weren't going to call me by my new name and will continue to call me Enma even if this new body of mine isn't the same as my original as Enma Nikos. It doesn't matter to both Shigure and Pyrrha, they will continue to call me Enma.

Yoruichi, Artoria, and Serafall didn't seem to care and will call me Asura still, as they are used to it; well, Serafall mostly calls me as her Senpai when she feel like it. In fact, everyone understands that calling me by different names could just be another way for people who are very close to each other and have nicknames for them to use.

Both Enma Nikos and Asura Rokudo are my true names, but other than our little group, no one will tell and just think it up as a nickname/pet names for me by my loved ones.

Doing a quick count, and I found out, thanks to Pyrrha and Shigure coming back into my life, even in my point of views, it has only been over half a year, I have 6 girls as my lover/wives, seeing how we're in an entirely new parallel dimension, may as well being married as well. As no one in this new dimension we're in would know if we're really married or not.

In the girls' point of view, we're all a happy family, that's married, with Asia as our daughter.

Asia doesn't seem to mind to have 6 mothers, but then again, she may have moved around often between Churches, to meet other people that made Asia call them as a mother or something. But, at least, Asia knows the girls will be an actual mother to her. Well, depending on who and who. Serafall may teach Asia something else than the others and act more childish than a mature adult.

I do have to wonder if I could last that long with 6 girls now; after getting Pyrrha a body to exist outside Shigure's [Sea of Souls] and Seira finished with the whole absorbing the aspect of Death into her [Death Scythe] before appearing outside of my [Soul]. Either way, Artoria alone could outlast everyone, so I don't know if Shigure, Pyrrha, and/or Seira would be the same.

Really glad to have [Reinforcement] at this point and just really hope I don't end up breaking my hip by accident.

Shigure pinches my left cheek, causing me to break out of my thoughts, then Shigure gives Serafall a nod for her to continue.

"As I was saying, I don't know, but I could honestly tell you that I can't sense the same Underworld back in the previous dimension. And the one I'm sensing; well, I'll be honest. It feels like before the Underworld changed after the Devil Civil War." Serafall started explaining how the Underworld she is sensing in this dimension pretty much the same feeling back before the Four Satans started reworking the Underworld to be a bit more friendly than it should due to the newcomers as the [Reincarnated Devils].

"So we're in some kind of parallel world that also have a Heaven and Hell going on. This means, we could include the element of the supernatural for this dimension." I said to the girls, then use [Projection] to create an exact copy of the [Katana] Shigure just used a few minutes on me. "Furthermore, I don't feel anything that's suppressing my abilities." I could easily tell by using [Structural Grasp] to see if the [Projection: Katana] isn't downgraded at all and look like it's pretty much the same back in the previous dimension.

"So, we can also rule that the Deities are among us as well." I know that with the [Type-Moon System] I won't be under the same effect as the people back in the Nasuverse. Plus, I did ask about this to the [Type-Moon System] a few months back and got a positive answer in return.

"Well, that's good and all. But, what's the first thing we should do?" Yoruichi asks me, seeing how we're in an unknown parallel world, where anything is possible depending on the dimension we just come into.

"I want to get pregnant again, and actually have Enma in my life while raising our baby together. Same with Pyrrha, who is eager to gain a physical body back, even if it isn't her original body." Shigure replied to Yoruichi's question, causing almost everyone to blush at how forward Shigure is.

"Wow, she more forward than most of the Yokai I know of. Then again, I can understand Shigure and Pyrrha's situations." Yoruichi said dryly before she coughs in her left hand, with her face red.

"I'm going to need to work on getting even better at using [Renkankei-kikou]." I mumble to myself. At the rate this is going, I may end up dying with how many times we have sex, with or without all of them doing it at the same time. At least with [Renkankei-kikou], I should be able to make the girls' satisfy enough to give me a break. Well, other than Artoria, who seem to have an endless amount of stamina to go on. With Shigure, and later Pyrrha, included now. I may really end up dead at some point in the future. "So, I guess we should just look around to find out where we are. I rather not go to the Underworld or whatever it's called in this dimension." I said to the girl, as I start walking in a random direction.

None of the girls disagree when we're in unknown territory. It's better to scout the place fast before we end up in a bad situation due to the lack of knowledge about the area we're in.

20 minutes later*

So far, we haven't found anything as a sign to let us know we're near to civilization.

"Oh, right! Hey, Shigure. Did you unlock my [Healing Fist]? And did you improve it? Seeing as it could regrow lost limb with ease." I remember I created this sadistic [Healing Fusion Skill], but could also cause sexual pleasure, seeing how the time I used it on Pyrrha made her moan with pleasure instead of crying out in pain like it supposes to do in the first place.

"After 10 years, I did. You have too many [Fusion Skill/Magic], that it literally took me decades to unlock even 5% of the countless ones. And I've never seen you use them ever." Shigure shook her head in disbelief after really getting a good look at what she could get from the [Persona System]. It's no wonder her fiance was such and maybe still a money lover to the point she thought he would love money over her. Now, she truly knows the reason and she thought he was joking at one point. Seeing it herself with her own eyes made her believe all those times. "And I didn't improve it. I was too busy working on the [Space-Time Skills] than improving most of the [Skills/Magics] you provided for me." Shigure knew her limit and wasn't like her fiance, who would go crazy in experimenting with everything he could think of, to the point she no longer is able to figure out what his main goal to the whole thing.

"Eh, that's okay. At least with [Healing Fist]. We don't have to worry about one of us dying while Asia is busy healing someone else, while others require immediate treatment. Plus, Asia still hasn't got to the point of being able to heal everyone at once or speeding up the healing process. So, having the [Healing Fist] is considered a great boon. With only a few downsides. Dealing with the pain is one of the major flaws to the [Healing Fist] towards allies." I said to Shigure, and letting the others that Shigure could heal everyone as well while Asia is busy.

Of course, that doesn't mean Yoruichi, Artoria, and Serafall don't have their own methods to heal others, but that doesn't apply to the same levels as Asia and Shigure's healing abilities. And is too limited in what they can heal and who they could heal too.

"So, I'm a little curious. If what you, two, said are true. Mind telling us how many of these [Fusion Skills] Asura made?" Serafall asks Shigure, wondering and making notes of what to expect in the future of how many [Skills/Magics] Shigure possess over the years she has the [Persona System].

"I lost after the 100th [Skills] I purchased from the [Persona System]. And I still haven't got all of them still even after thousands of years." Shigure said in a tired voice, "You have no idea how frustrated I was to find out that all the [Skills] and [Magics] Enma here made, the [Persona System] placed a price on them in their weakest form, and furthermore, there are requirements I need to do first before I could even get them, and it's still at a high price even after I finished doing all the requirements to get it."

Feeling a bit sorry for Shigure, as most of my [Fusion Skills/Magics] I had to create my own and the [Persona System] didn't even have it, to begin with.

"Well, when I had the [Persona System]. There weren't many [Skills] and I'm limited to many branches of [Magic]. So, I had to figure out to make a different kind of my own. I just mostly spend the [System Points] on repeated [Magic], seeing how the [Skills] won't disappear, but the [Magic] will as it will evolve by anchoring itself with the [Skills] it fusing with, but not to the point of losing said [Skills]." I explain to the girls about how the whole [Fusion Feature] work.

"And you did this in 11 years?" Serafall ask in disbelief, even Yoruichi and Artoria couldn't believe that I could create hundreds, maybe even thousands of [Skills/Magics]. I lost count like Shigure and did this in 11 years. That's the power of having a [System] for ya. Fast progress when you have enough [System Points] to use.

"Yup. When you have the resource. Well, you should be able to do something while having free time and a [System] that could do almost all the work for me. Just letting you know ahead of time. I can't just put 1 + 1 and it will equal to 2. Because that won't work if you didn't know what 2 is in the first place. So, you have to test it out and see how it goes. If it works, then it registers into the [System]. If not, well, it tends to explode on you most of the time." I tell everyone about my experience of my countless experiments.

"It's true. My created [Space-Time Skills] required me years to make, and I won't even get any result after an entire year's worth of time went by. So, I'm just shocked as the rest of you, to find out Enma here created so many things, but due to being the 2nd host of the [Persona System]. I didn't have to rediscover all of them and only required to meet a certain requirement and the right amount of [System Points] to get it." Shigure added along.

I continue to find myself a little surprised to hear Shigure speak longer than a sentence and not pausing in her words. It's going to take me a while to get used to it.

"Oh, yeah, I know this is a bit late, but do you regret coming with us, Serafall? I mean you have your family to worry about." I look at the Devil among us. Wondering if she regretted her quick decision on coming with us to an entirely different dimension.

"Before I answer your question, answer mine first. Can we return back?" Serafall is curious if she could reunite with her family after she enjoys herself with this little odd group of different races.

Even Yoruichi is wondering about this too, she doesn't hate all her family members, as there are some of them she will miss, but not to the point of not tagging along with her husband.

"I don't know. Let me try." I use the [Second Magic] to see if I could create a portal back to the previous dimension and it looks like I can't. "Well, that answers your question. Look like it a one-way trip, though." I notice something unsettling when I notice how something is trying to drag me back to the portal. Quickly, I dismiss the portal before whatever is trying to manipulate my portal from the other side.

After all, if Shigure can use the portals I created with [Second Magic], then others should be able to.

"So yeah, I may need some time to gather enough [System Points] to raise it above [Rank: Basic] before going back to that dimension. Who knows what's waiting for us after my action on releasing that [Shinso Vampiress] from her prison." I revealed the fact that I literally released one of the most dangerous Yokai to the history of that dimension from her prison.

"Seeing how there's a [Shinso Vampiress] on the loose. I would have to say, I rather all of us get stronger before returning back there." Yoruichi didn't like to face a Yokai that's beyond the S-Class Yokai, or in the Devil's Ranking: Super Devil, which should be above the Ultimate-Class Devil.

"I bet I could take her on." Serafall clearly knew many weaknesses belong to the [Shinso Vampiress] and could use her [Skills] she developed while trying to gain the attention of her husband, oh just thinking of the word made her excited, even if no wedding or anything to show the sign of being married couples. "Hey, if we're going to be married. What are we going to use as the symbol of our marital status?" Serafall asks all of us, seeing as we are going to stick with the whole story about us being married. Not that we couldn't as back in the previous dimension.

You only need to do a few things, and you get some kind of paper to prove you're married. In this new alternated dimension; well, we can just say we lost those papers and just show something that proves we're married.

"I could always make rings, won't be that hard to make, but the looks maybe a bit bland. So, unless you want one of those fancy looking rings with engraves on the surface, then you'll have to wait for a while." I said to Serafall, causing her to pout at me.

"And how long is a 'while'?" Yoruichi knows common sense doesn't work with her husband, so it's better to ask now before they get a surprise present sooner than later.

"Maybe a few minutes, maybe less." I shrug my shoulders, causing Serafall's eyebrow to twitch at this. "If you girls want to take a break while I start making the rings, then say it now. Because I can't make it while we're moving." I said to my wives, really need to get used to this, and Asia, who has been quiet this whole time.

"Anything you want me to make for you, Asia? I think I could make something for you while I'm at it." I look at Asia, causing my adopted daughter to blink at me, then quickly shook her head.

"I-It's no problem, father. You don't need to make me anything. You should focus on making those rings instead of making something for me." Asia looks at the ground shyly, causing the others to smile at this.

"You sure? I only need a few minutes to make the rings. Afterward, I can make you something. Actually, I think I know what to make for you." I didn't wait for Asia's response and already thought of something to make along with the rings.

8 minutes later*

Well, it took me a few tries using the [Everything Happens Within A Single Thought], but I finished creating the rings, which I based off the Katekyo Hitman Reborn's [Vongola Rings' True Form], it's the [Guardian Rings] not the [Boss Ring]. And I just picked the colors that match the girls, along for myself as well.

Orange for Yoruichi. Golden for Artoria. Pink for Serafall. Purple for Shigure and I have a red one ready for Pyrrha, which Shigure kept in her [Inventory] for safekeeping until I make a body for Pyrrha, then she will get it. I even made one for Seira that silver. As for myself. I made a blue color one for me.

For Asia, I made a silver bracelet, which I placed a few [Rune Spells] to protect Asia. Most of them are just multiple layers of defenses.

"Okay, anyone wants a different color before we resume our travel?" I ask everyone, with Asia looking very happy to have a gift from me.

"Nah. I'm good." Yoruichi looks at her ring with a big smile on her face, loving the ring that shows she married. Of course, she wanted a wedding party, but better have something that says she has a husband now.

"Nope." Serafall look like close to jumping me for giving her second gift, with the first one being the [Mystic Code: Zipper] and now this ring, to show our symbol of marriage.

Artoria shook her head, letting me know she fine with the ring and give me a smile. With Shigure following Artoria's example and give me a nod, where I see the familiar default blank expression belong to Shigure.

"Then, let continue on our journey to find what kind of dimension we enter." I said to everyone, as we continue to walk in the same direction we're taking before we took a few minutes break for me to make the rings and a bracelet for Asia, which took me a bit longer than working on the rings.
