Chapter 65: Resolved

Words: 2,190

...

It would be naive to say that I hit the jackpot.

In this dimensional space, there were many valuable pieces of information, unsuccessful experiments, and various artifacts that had outlasted their usefulness but still contained traces of Eighth Metal.

The God here clearly tried to create Angels with the capital "A," but he only managed to create something resembling them.

The first somewhat successful experiment was Shikamado Doji who was originally named Samael.

He had access to the powers of light, but... the problem was that the light was evil and corrupted, and God didn't like it.

He attempted to fix it but eventually accidentally created the first vampire instead.

He didn't destroy his creation but decided to create something more successful, taking into account previous mistakes.

Then Michael appeared, but he also had problems because of his unsuitable body.

God tried to solve this new problem.

Samael accepted Michael as a brother and later as a son as his genes and blood were used in his creation.

After hundreds of years of God's experiments, involving changes in genes, souls, and the essence of beings... Michael eventually became a truly ideal candidate.

Michael's soul became truly powerful, but then things took a strange turn, and God simply left.

He left and left the experiment unfinished, causing Michael's soul to wander into the gray of this world.

I can't say why God decided to leave everything here and go away, but I have some theories.

Judging by his notes, this world was one of many he had visited, where he conducted experiments, achieved some success, and left.

He tried to find the perfect world where he could begin creating an ideally "pure" race of angels.

This world didn't suit him, and after he obtained information from the body and soul of a successful experiment, he simply abandoned everything and left.

Meanwhile, Samael waited for millennia by Michael's body while blaming himself for his father's abandonment.

The "imperfect" and cursed Samael became angry at his father over time, like a spoiled kid... He certainly had every right to.

After that, he changed his name to Shikama Dōji and started to travel the world.

"Why am I not surprised that even here, the god turned out to be a jerk?"

I asked aloud while tossing all the most interesting things into my ring.

The Sinful Key was one of God's artifacts, and he used it to achieve better results and improve his experiments.

A fully assembled Sinful of Key is capable of unlocking the potential of the bloodline, but I don't know to what extent.

Moreover, this space was directly connected to the River of Souls. It simply prevented most souls from passing through, holding them back for some reason.

In a couple more thousand years, it's entirely possible that evil spirits will start to appear.

Shinoa Hiragi: Tony, are you there?

I received a message from Shinoa that distracted me from exploring the space. I didn't respond but simply moved from there directly to her.

"Tony!"

Shinoa rushed to me like an arrow and immediately hugged me tightly.

"Easy, I handled everything... Just a third of Tokyo is in ruins."

I said this while hugging Shinoa.

"Right now, the whole world is in ruins."

Guren snorted at him who was standing nearby. Looking around, I realized that everyone was currently in the Sanguinem.

"What about the First?"

This question was truly important, judging by the faces of all those present here.

"Dead."

I simply said.

"I destroyed both of his bodies and sealed his soul in the medallion, and he's no longer a threat. By the way, it turns out he really knew the god."

"God exists?"

Mitsuba exclaimed in surprise.

"Hmm, yes, but he left this world a long time ago, which led to the First's demise."

I said that and briefly explained the situation.

"It's nothing new. I always thought that if God existed, he simply wouldn't allow such things to happen."

Guren remarked.

"Or he's just a jerk."

"Now, you'll have to take control of the Imperial Army."

Mahiru stated, and her tone showed a hint of satisfaction as he now had a lot of work ahead of him.

Judging by Guren's and his own expressions, he understood this perfectly.

There wasn't much left in this world that interested me.

Krul contacted the council and told them about what happened while pressuring everyone else to surrender and join her in rebuilding the world and human civilization.

She remained one of the highest-ranking nobles, and some actually agreed.

Russia and Germany recently lost their leaders, and there were no problems with that territory.

Those who were completely against it felt my wrath, as traveling around the planet wasn't difficult for me.

In just one day, I wiped out the most enthusiastic supporters of keeping people as cattle.

There are two thousand and thirty souls in my medallion right now. They can give me a lot of energy and enough to wipe out the rest of Tokyo.

Before leaving the world, I was able to do other important things, like returning all of Krul's vampires back into emotions and preparing a room with a ritual where the same process occurs on its own without me.

With the help of magic and alchemy, I easily created a device that produces artificial blood.

The first time Krul tried it, she couldn't distinguish it from regular human blood because this blood also contains the energy of life.

After all, I knew who I was doing all this for.

I fixed Guren's friends, and now they won't die because of the ritual that happened eight years ago.

I also left a lot of information on Guren's computer about various fields, from food production to modern medical equipment.

I destroyed all the artifacts from God's space except for the Sinful Key and obtained a hundred grams of Eighth Metal.

I immediately merged the metals with my sword while feeling powerful.

I had another idea, but that wasn't all I had planned.

In the Dimensional Store, there's "Angel's Body (A) - 8000" and "Seraphim Gene (B) - 2200", but I have Michael's body in my hands.

The successful experiment of the god and the true angel from which everything else related to the End Seraphims originated.

I immediately remembered one of the rituals from the Book of Thoth.

This ritual allows me to take on the "essence" of a creature, but it usually involves a captured demonic entity. However, I have a whole angel here.

Therefore, I had to modify the ritual to fit the situation and transfer it to heaven, which the End Seraphims draw upon for transformation and alter due to their impure nature.

Michael's structure is much denser and more perfect than Albedo's structure.

I performed the ritual right there in heaven using alchemy to split Shikama Doji's body and immediately change my own body.

In contrast, the magical seal of the ritual slowly altered parts of my "essence."

There wasn't any significant pain but just a tingling sensation running all over my skin.

"It's nice when you know what to do and how to do it."

I said this as Michael's body completely disappeared.

I grew two centimeters in height, and my body became heavier. I now weigh eighty kilograms and am one hundred eighty-eight centimeters tall.

[Name: Anthony Joseph Luthor]

[Race: Primordial Human, Homo Magus, Seraphim]

[Gacha Points: 44]

The changes are noticeable to the naked eye, and I feel them myself.

I would not hold back if we were to fight Shika Madu right now, and he would not last more than a couple of seconds.

After analyzing my body, I confirmed that I didn't become an entirely angel, but rather a completed Seraphim without any issues in using my powers.

In other words, the power of light wouldn't affect me in any way simply because the light inside me isn't that pure.

"Are you ready?"

I asked Shinoa, who had already said goodbye to her squad and Mahira.

"Don't you want to say goodbye to them yourself?"

Shinoa asked me.

"No... we can come back anytime and see how things are going here."

I noticed that Mahiru reacted strangely to me when I appeared in the room. She flinched and slightly bowed her back perhaps without even realizing it.

"Sister, what happened?"

Shinoa asked when also noticing this peculiarity.

"I... I'm not sure... It's like something in me is both afraid and bowing to you at the same time."

Mahiru spoke with a stutter.

"What did you do? It's probably something dangerous or insane again?" Shinoa said it with a hint of acceptance.

"Heh, you two are like a married couple."

Mahiru chuckled.

"Well, you could say I became the Seraphim of the End and half-angel."

I shrugged.

Maybe that's why you, who used to be a vampire and a demon, react to my presence like this... another reason why it's better to leave quickly."

"Hmm... I'll tell your girlfriend about your dangerous experiments on yourself."

Shinoa mischievously told me.

"Maybe I should leave you here then?"

I raised an eyebrow.

"Then I can just come to you myself; don't forget."

Shinoa jumped into my arms.

"See you later, sister. I'll come to visit you in a while and see how things are going. Let's go!"

Shinoa enthusiastically swung at my waist while crossing her legs behind my back.

An interface already appeared in front of me, and I bought two tickets for a single flight to my world that cost me two hundred Chat Points...

However, I gained three hundred points during these three days spent in this world, so I still have all my points.

For a moment, I felt like I was being thrown into the space, and Shinoa hugged me tightly, and she felt something unpleasant too.

In the next second, we found ourselves in my office in the engineering department of LuthorEngineering.

"Welcome back, Master Luthor. It's been three days, seven hours, and twenty-three minutes since you returned."

Cortana informed me.

"Cortana!"

Shinoa also recognized her from the world of RWBY as she communicated with her to guide her.

"Oh, I feel like I'm in a laboratory."

Shinoa said this while looking around the room.

"This is my office. I told you I'm the head of the company."

I told Shinoa, and I took out the removable drive I took with me and connected it to the computer.

"Cortana, copy all the received information and number it while highlighting the "Sin" folder as a priority."

"Understood. I'm glad you're back... master."

Cortana said it somewhat strangely.

"You know, I just felt some strange vibrations from your AI."

Shinoa whispered quietly.

"Don't talk nonsense. She's just glad to see me. And yes, Cortana, I think I've gained enough strength, knowledge, and experience to create a body for you and transfer your soul..."

I noticed out of the corner of my eye that messages were flashing in the chat.

"Did you get some reward?"

Shinoa inquired curiously.

"I received rewards for the broadcast too... I got eight thousand CP. I'm rich now, hehe. Actually, I wanted to surprise you with this later..."

Shinoa pouted slightly.

"Preferably in bed..."

She smiled a bit cheekily while revealing her thoughts.

"Master Luthor, I think you'll find this information important. A full-scale war of criminal groups is currently happening in Gotham. The city has declared a state of emergency, and the police can't handle everything. There are many dead policemen and civilians."

"Fucking Gotham, why am I not surprised?"

I asked aloud.

"Gotham?"

Shinoa tilted her head slightly.

"It seems very bad, right?"

"Well, not at the level of problems in your world, but still nothing good."

I said.

"I didn't even have time to rest..."
