EX. 2 - Enemies of Another World and Overdrive!

Third Person Point of View

❁❁❁❁

Sanctuary

❁❁❁❁

In the halls of Sanctuary, much of its interior was large, very large. The Sanctuary itself was a paradise among paradises. The [Tower of Perseverance] was the tallest structure there, equivalent to at least 1,000 Burj Khalifa. It was a daunting area to tackle. However, when one does conquer it, their strength will go up by a considerable amount.

On one such floor, one of Aaron Toole's 'unofficial' children went through it. However, when this 'child' came to be, no one was sure on how to 'classify' her. Would she count as Aaron's biological child? Or something else? Regardless, she was loved like his first born, Kyoho Toujou.

Lilith, the spawn of both Ophis and Aaron. One day, around 20 years after the conclusion of his adventures in both the Draconic Deus and the universe of Tensura, or their 'Central World'. Ophis asked Aaron to merge both his and her [Infinite], and what was created from it was…Lilith.

After that day, Ophis proudly called her their child, and everyone accepted it. Lilith is just another [Dragon God of Infinity], although Ophis tends to call her the [Princess of Infinity] as she liked Lavinia's [Ice Princess] title that she once had, but now is given to Eulalia Reni Skyward, Lavinia Reni's and Aaron Toole's daughter.

In the large garden of the home, there were a few people that were relaxing there, sun bathing. One of them was Ophis. However, she long abandoned her 'loli' form and had mostly stayed in her 'adult form' for most of the 50 years. She only changed back for specific reasons.

She watched over Eulalia Reni Skyward, along with Lavinia Ren Skyward and Akeno Himejima Skyward. Known to Aaron, or unknown to him, three more of his wives had become pregnant in the last year as they had requested to be.

Kyoho was unaware of this and he would soon gain two sisters and a brother. The ones who were pregnant were Grayfia Lucifuge Skyward, Rias Gremory Skyward and Akeno Himejima Skyward. They already have decided on names, but have not told Aaron.

"All three of you got pregnant around the same time, huh? So you're all around 5 months along, right?" asked Lavinia.

"Yes, that's correct, Nia," replied Akeno.

"Pregnant…I wish to feel that once," added Ophis.

"Fufu, maybe one day, Ophis-chan. You can always ask Aaron," replied Lavinia and the Dragon God nodded.

The baby, Eulalia Reni Skyward was crawling around the grass and exploring the world around her. All of them watched on as they chatted.

"How do you think Kyoho is doing in that new Omniverse Aaron created?" asked Akeno as she rubbed her belly.

"He should be fine, but I am worried that he's only at God-class in power. By all means he can go beyond that and enter Dragon God-class temporarily, but…" answered Lavinia and showed the same worried expression.

"He will be fine. Kyoho is strong. Aaron made him promise to be strong for us and his sister and future siblings," said Ophis and smiled while she watched Eulalia. "Even though he may act differently from time to time, he has his father's heart and teachings. While he won't try to make the whole universe or multiverse a better place…the ones near him, he will look after," added Ophis.

"That's true, we can only trust in him then. Where in the timeline do you think he's at right now?" asked Akeno.

"According to Ddraig, it is during your Rating Game against the Sitri peerage. However, Kyoho has tortured both peerages, so it should be a much more competitive game. I have heard from Kuroka that Issei Hyoudou has started to train more seriously and had his pieces changed by Ajuka Beelzebub," answered Ophis.

"Well, Aaron's training is a bit rigorous, not including the other more Spartan woman he's married to hehe," said Lavinia.

During Kyoho's training, he was subjected to a lot of things. Not including his time in the [Tower of Perseverance]. He was trained by Aaron himself, Aurelia Le Guin, Scathach, Aífe, Lianne, and many others. Kyoho is well versed in fighting opponents of many styles, so he's ready to face anything.

Fwosh~

"I am back, mother… and other mothers," said Lilith.

"Welcome back…" said Ophis as she walked over to her child and hugged her. "How was your training?" she asked.

"…Okay, I went up 20 more floors… but I am hungry, food?" she asked and tilted her head. Ophis smiled and summoned a few snacks for her offspring and Lilith happily ate them.

"Fufu, she's like you, Ophis but back then," said Akeno as she walked over and patted Lilith on the head.

"Yes… it is like looking at myself, however…"

Lilith Skyward had jet-black hair like her mother with silver tips, Ophis, but had gray eyes like Aaron.

"She's a mix of Aaron and I…"

"Aaron… where's father, mother?" asked Lilith. She had tried to sense him in their home but couldn't find him.

Lavinia smiled and winked. "Fufu, I'm joining him soon, actually."

"What do you mean?" asked Grayfia.

"Apparently, even though Aaron made the omniverse, he left surprises in it, chances for 'Anomalies' to occur so Kyoho can have a bit more fun there. But if the anomaly gets a bit out of hand he'd personally go there and correct it, so…"

"Oh… so he's going to Kyoho then?" asked Grayfia.

"Yup~! He's a worrywart, not just towards us, but even him. Oh, he said that if any of you wish to go join him then it's fine. But he's already left more shadow soldiers in all our shadows," Lavinia said.

"Even more…? Didn't we already have a million each…? And there are over 100 of us…" Akeno said a bit exasperated.

"You know how he is… so do any of you want to join?" asked Lavinia.

"…I will think about it, but being this pregnant I'm just worried," said Grayfia and Akeno agreed.

"But I think he as at that…um, Orario place? I'm not sure but they did have a Hestia look-a-like and other gods there. It was a strange place. Áine and Danu were the ones that traveled with him there. Evidently, gods with their full power walking around was a strange sight, and he nearly killed them all for trying to take away both of them," explained Lavinia.

"K-killed? Isn't that a bit extreme?" asked Akeno. "Those two didn't say anything at all."

"He was scolded by Danu at the time, though Áine didn't really mind," added Lavinia. "But after explaining a fake reason, they didn't believe them, so they tried to be forceful…one thing led to another and Aaron got a bit angry and knocked out the people trying to take them away."

Grayfia shook her head. "I feel like he's become even more protective of us after 50 years and getting married."

"Even more so after he had children, and especially when we're pregnant," added Lavinia.

"That's true."

All three women looked at Ophis and Lilith playing with Eulalia.

Universe – Draconic Deus

❁❁❁❁

Kyoho Toujou's Soliloquy

❁❁❁❁

"Good job on the win. I didn't think you guys had it in you," I told them.

"After all that Spartan training, it would be strange if we lost, Kyoho…" replied Hyoudou Issei.

The second semester started for us second year, and the Gremory peerage had just won against Mother-Sona in their Rating Game. I had helped train them during the summer and I was paid for it. Well, it's not like I needed the money, but it was an experience in torturing all of them.

In a way, it was therapeutic since I got to win against my mothers…Uncle Ddraig also helped while both Mother-Zorya and Mother-Testarossa just watched from afar. Apparently, Mother-Testarossa and Mother-Zorya have been touring this universe to see any difference, but according to them not too many changes here.

But they also said that there was an anomaly in this universe, so there's a high chance that dad might show up randomly to fix it. He did inform me about it prior to me coming here.

[Well, at least you can maintain your Balance Breaker for 8 hours straight thanks to our training,] added Uncle Ddraig. [But still nowhere close to attaining [Illegal Move Triaina], keep at it though, Issei Hyoudou.]

"Aye, aye, other Ddraig-sama…" he replied tiredly.

"Um, Kyoho-san?" Asia asked.

"Yes?"

She fidgeted for a while and hesitated to ask something, but I eventually figured it out. "Oh, it's around that time, huh? Are you asking about Diodora Astaroth?" I asked.

All of them seemed a bit stunned but Asia nodded.

"W-what did your father do during this time?" she asked hopeful for a helpful answer.

"…According—"

[Seal his powers, beat him up and had him arrested because he's part of the Khaos Brigade?] answered Uncle Ddraig.

"....."

"He's what?!" they all shouted in unison.

[You didn't tell them?] Uncle Ddraig asked me.

"We didn't exactly get many chances to speak about the future, so no," I replied. "Better call Uncle Sirzechs then, huh?" I said and looked at Rias Gremory.

There were also a few things that happened during the summer. I went in front of some TV show that a lot of the supernatural tuned into and told them about the Omniverse, who I am, and showed them Uncle Ddraig along with his Dragon form.

I did not care about the timeline or keeping the events the same as other timelines. I will destroy this as much as I can. Of course, I had a lot of people watching me over the summer. I even had a few people attempt to kidnap me. I kicked their asses to heaven and back.

Kuroka of this universe did come to me and confront me… that was interesting, she tried to seduce me and I was grossed out. I told her she was my mother and it was weird, so she stopped. However, Vali Lucifer is very interested in fighting me.

I'm not that powerful. According to my dad's own ranking system, I'm just around a Middle-Tier God-class being. While it's nothing to scoff at, I can't beat anyone stronger than that. So Uncle Shiva, and Mother-Ophis, I don't think the 'Great Red' of this universe is female, so there's that…

All eyes are on me, and also the current Khaos Brigade have tried to 'break' out of the boundary that dad set. No one could do that—well in my original Omniverse. Dad literally prevented that from happening after he evolved.

It apparently caused a lot of trouble for people, so he had to fix that for a while, either by going into that universe or just from Sanctuary. I looked back at Rias Gremory as she dismissed her magic communication circle.

"Haaa…that was certainly something. Please inform of us anything relevant," she said tiredly.

"Something relevant, huh? Sure, we just need another meeting that includes all the gods of this universe, or at least the Chief-Gods," I replied.

"W-why?"

"Other gods of another universe are coming, and they're stronger than anything you'll face. My dad was in our universe so he stopped them easily, but this universe does not. So you are going to need help, or at least to be better prepared for their invasion. Soon, after a certain event, they'll make contact with Issei using Mother-Akeno's breasts."

"Though it's one of her servants, a Breast Fairy, from Mother-Chimune."

They looked confused, so I explained further, and they became utterly horrified.

"H-h-h-h-h-how am I meant to fight them?! Are you insane?! I'll die! I can barely keep my Balance Breaker for 8 hours. How the heck do you expect me to keep up with things stronger than the Dragon God of Infinity?!" Issei screamed at me. It seemed like he had a small mental breakdown there.

"I mean if it means anything, I can't kill any of them either. At best at my current power level, I'm at God-class in strength… well if I go all out and use 'something' else, I can temporarily enter Dragon God-class, but… yeah apart from that, no."

[The future Team [DxD] of this universe won't be able to compete with it either. That team that is known as 'Unbeatable' will taste a very harsh defeat. Get stronger than you normally would by that point in time,] added Uncle Ddraig.

Apparently, dad and a few of my mother's before was born had already gone to a different universe of this back in our original Omniverse. They had seen what would happen with a world without them, a lot of casualties as many of the gods had gone into the isolation barrier to fight Trihexa.

According to them, dad after a certain incident had his 'Electa' trap Trihexa in the Dimensional Gap, and then killed it there, made it into a shadow and went away again. The Isolation Barrier plan was scrapped because of it. Along with everyone being stronger because of his [Hyperbolic Regenerative Chambers] our universe was a lot stronger than this one.

"With the [Two Heavenly Dragons] and even the [Slash/Dog] and [The Joker of Heaven] and [First Dark] combining their powers, it was futile. You cannot win," I added.

"T-then what can we do?" asked Hyoudou Issei absolutely terrified.

I shrugged, "I dunno, good luck?"

"That's not helping!!" he shouted back. "Also aren't you here?! Why not help us!"

I looked Issei in the eyes and said, "In reality, I'm only here because dad sent me to 'have fun'. I am in no obligation to stay here and help you guys. I just did because two of my mother's and Uncle Ddraig are here. I could easily just go to another universe and not have a second thought about any of you, you know?"

After I said that, all of them stared at me in shock. It's the truth, they only look like my mother's faces, but they don't act like them at all—well, maybe a little bit, but at most they're a lot older, mature and are stupendously in love with my dad.

These versions of them are in love with Hyoudou Issei which already makes it easier to disassociate with them. I don't hate this world's Red Dragon Emperor, but if I'm forced to compare myself to my old man…it's just not even a question at this point…

Bam!

"I heard it all, Kyoho! I will set up that meeting, so make sure you tell us all in detail!" said Azazel.

"Whatever, Ash Crow," I said.

"Ash Crow?" he repeated sounding confused.

"It's what dad calls you, it's like a dumb nickname you had in our omniverse. You don't have that here?" I asked.

"Nope."

"Well, good luck…I'll go somewhere else," I said and left with Uncle Ddraig.

Once we were outside, he asked me, [So, where are we going? You already have university level education because of your mothers, so being in high school is redundant.]

"Dunno, the next event in this world should be…I guess Hyoudou Issei achieving [Juggernaut Drive]? But I don't know if the Rating Game between Diodora Astaroth and Rias Gremory is going to happen," I said.

[Yeah, probably not. But if the Khaos Brigade keeps going, then they'll still attack, so it should still be interesting.]

❁❁❁❁

After a lot of nagging, I was brought to a conference meeting between various gods and faction leaders in the Underworld. As far as I can see, the Four Satans, Michael, Uriel, [Joker], Azazel, Tobio Ikuse, Lavinia Reni, Shiva, Indra, Zeus, Odin, Vidar, Rossweisse, Brynhildr and various other gods were here.

"Talk about a turn-out, huh? A lot of big shots here," I said to Uncle Ddraig.

[Right? Makes me a bit excited, what if a fight breaks out?] he asked, a dangerous glint in his eyes.

Azazel told the others about my situation. Mother-Zorya and Mother-Testarossa were behind us, also amused by the current situation. I yawned as I waited for Azazel to finish his spiel to them. I felt someone behind me and it was Mother-Zorya. She had hugged me from behind.

"You really need to start a family with dad, Mother-Zorya. You dote on me too much. You could focus that energy on your own biological child," I told her.

"Would you like to have another sibling that's not Eulalie and Lilith?" she asked. I had never thought about it that far, but having siblings wouldn't be a bad thing.

I shrugged. "I guess so. I mean I get to be the oldest sibling, right?" I asked with a smirk.

"Ahem!" Azazel got our attention and we looked back.

"Omniverse, multiverse, another [Welsh Dragon] and other goddesses from there, huh? I'm kind of buying it since that guy feels like a dragon, but I need proof," said Indra as he sat back and stared at us.

"Proof, huh? All right other Ddraig-kun, show em!" Azazel shouted and shook his hands strangely. Uncle Ddraig just gave him a questioning and confused look. However, he eventually stared at Indra and let his aura erupt from him.

"Fufu, going a bit overboard there, aren't we, Ddraig?" asked Mother-Testarossa. The entire room shook as well as the rest of the world, I think?

All of them there, except for the Satans, Michael and Azazel were shocked by this—a wide grin spread across Indra's face.

"Wooooh~ look at him go, that aura is certainly stronger than mine! I like it! Fight me!" he shouted as he stood up.

[No,] Uncle Ddraig said bluntly. The smile on Indra's face immediately disappeared and he sat back down.

"Why are they here then, Azazel?" Shiva asked.

"First!" Azazel then explained what he heard me tell the Gremory peerage about the otherworldly gods called the ExE as well as the FxF.

[Here is proof!] Uncle Ddraig announced and created a magic circle, however, what was shown through it was dad being hit by Mother-Chimune's enormous breasts and being flung away. [Wait no, wrong clip!]

Indra thought it was amusing and began howling with laughter. Mother-Testarossa laughed at it too while I just facepalmed. Even to this day, because of her enormous breasts, dad on occasion gets hit by my various mothers' chests. At first, it was funny, but now I just feel bad for him. I mean he's a hardworking man—he said he enjoys it, but…I dunno.

Uncle Ddraig immediately changed it to dad and a few others killing a bunch of gods, but—

[Take this, magical girl puuuunch!] Mother-Serafall screamed in the video.

The Serafall of this world stood up from her seat and screamed. "I'm whaaaaaaaaaaaat?! Where's So—"

[Onee-sama! Please take this seriously!] Mother-Sona shouted and eliminated even more Evie soldiers. Mother-Serafall then began doing strange movements which caused several powerful beams to shoot from her…rear and kill even more.

"Your father is married to both of us?!" she shouted.

"I did say nearly every female in that room," I replied. I tapped Uncle Ddraig and told him to hurry it up and he changed it to a part where they confronted the Evie Gods along with the Etoulde Gods.

Many gods there perished. We also told them about 666's awakening, the isolation barrier plan and also the World Tournament Rating Game. In the video that Uncle Ddraig showed, several places around the world were blown up by the Evie Gods, and Team [DxD] tried to repel them, but they all suffered critical injuries.

In the end, Dad showed up and repelled the attack, apparently and according to my mother's he was away doing…something. They never told me what, but it was important, after that, he stopped the attack on the earth, confronted a deranged god called Manannán mac Lir as he had kidnapped Mother-Áine.

They fought, broke through several dimensions and he ended it by using a Kamehameha that blasted through the Omniverse and kept going beyond it. This was the first time I saw this video in full, and dad looked furious.

But they hadn't destroyed the Evie fully, and according to Uncle Ddraig—

[After that, my Partner, Team [DxD] and many others went to the universe of the Evie and wiped them out. I won't show that since it's just a lot of destruction and fighting. However, rest assured that universe filled with mechanical gods were wiped out. Our world, the DxD universe formed an alliance with the remaining side—the Etoulde…that woman you saw earlier, the one that smacked Partner with her breast was part of the Etoulde faction,] explained Uncle Ddraig.

"How powerful are they? I mean, both the…Evie and Etoulde faction," asked Michael. Uncle Ddraig looked at me and I nodded.

"Their 'soldiers' are around Satan-class to God-class. The Gods themselves and other equivalents like the [Atrocity Fanatics], [Keito Tenkai] and [Ragou Shichou] are at least Dragon God-class and probably beyond. I never fought them though, so…"

[He's correct in his assumption. The Mechanical God called Regalzeva, the [The Fierce God] and [Invincible Devastator] easily killed the Great Red of other universes, but in our she survived thanks to Partner's help. Since he's not here, and when the time is right, the Great Red of your world will perish. None of you are on par with him, so…]

The room became silent due to Uncle Ddraig's words and many seemed horrified. The only one that could probably take the Great Red on was probably Shiva, though whether or not he wins is another thing.

"So…what do you suggest?" a god asks.

I shrugged. "Beats me. What all of you do after hearing this information is up to you—Issei Hyoudou, the Red Dragon Emperor will be contacted by Mother-Chimune through Mother-Akeno's breasts soon, so…ah, also Loki is expected to attack, I forgot where though, so…good luck!" I told them and turned around.

Azazel tried to tell me to wait, but we left the room. However, once we got outside, Lavinia Reni ran out and caught up with us.

"U-um…!"

We turned around and saw her panting heavily with Tobio Ikuse and Jin (Canis Lykaon) behind her.

"Can I help you…Lavinia Reni-san?" I asked. It felt strange calling her that. However, the Lavinia Reni in front of me looked younger, much younger than Mother-Lavinia, or she wanted me to call her 'Mother-Nia'.

"Um…I-I saw myself in that video, and the rest of the Slash/Dog Team, I was wondering—"

"Yes, you're part of my dad's harem, if that's what you're going to ask. The same with Natsume Minagawa, Shigune Nanaderu and Suzaku Himejima," I replied, interrupting her.

She seemed surprised even after she was coming here to confirm that. "Is there anything else? If you're going to ask how—then different worlds, universes, and timelines. So whatever happened here may not have happened in my omniverse. Are you in a relationship (harem) of Tobio Ikuse?" I asked.

She blushed and nodded.

"I see, well, as far as I can remember, you weren't in my omniverse. Uncle Tobio and Auntie Sae were in a monogamous relationship. They even have a child now. So…when all of you first met dad, things happened and you joined his harem," I told her. They seemed intrigued by what I said but I turned around again.

"Anyway, we're going to get going now. I wanna explore more of this world. If you want to know more…well, there might be more opportunities to talk in the future. If you wish to participate in the future battle against Evil God Loki, then that might be the place," I added and left with my group.

❁❁❁❁

"Are you sure about telling her that?" Mother-Testarossa asked.

"It's not like anything's going to happen. Tobio Ikuse of this world already has his own harem—the [Ice Princess] of this world belongs to him. If they know about what happened in our universe, it won't affect this one," I replied.

[You also know Partner's rules, too, Testarossa,] said Uncle Ddraig and she giggled.

"Yes, yes, I do. No duplicates of the same person. That's why if he goes to the same universe but different timeline, he tries to stay neutral and doesn't do anything to catch their attention, Jin already told us about it a long time ago," said Mother-Testarossa.

"Rossa…we should go," said Mother-Zorya. She looked at her and agreed.

"We'll get going then. We thought that the meeting would last a bit longer, but I guess not. Don't hesitate to contact us if you need help, Kyoho," said Mother-Testarossa.

"I'll be fine, I have my Cosmic Gear, so I can fight Dragon God-class beings with this," I told her and grinned.

Mother-Zorya pinched my cheek and said, "Don't be over reliant on that. I'm not a fighter, but I have enough combat experience and power, Kyoho. I also don't have a Sacred Gear or Cosmic Gear, so…"

"I-I know, so many people already told me that, also, all of you know I only use it as a last resort. I didn't get tortured and spend time in the [Tower of Perseverance] for nothing!"

Both of them smiled at what I said before they left. The only ones left were me and Uncle Ddraig.

[Wanna go and torture Vali and Albion?] he asked.

"…You're mean, you know that?"

[So, you're in?] he asked again and grinned.

"Hell yeah," I replied and we high-fived.

❁❁❁❁

A week has passed since then. Most leaders of each mythology and faction were skeptical, until Uncle Ddraig and I shook their world by casually flying by their realms while letting out our powers. We laughed the entire time and had fun, though Azazel had a hissy fit because of what we did.

Today, I'm visiting the Gremory territory since Sirzechs is over there. But right now, I'm stuck in classes. I gotta keep up the 'student' act or whatever. Though I am a delinquent so it shouldn't matter too much.

However, the class I had now was the one before lunch, so—the bell suddenly rang, and I opened the window beside me before jumping out causing my teacher and classmates to scream. I landed down below and made my way to the ORC since they wanted to ask me a few things. They wanted to do it earlier in the morning but…I was too lazy to go, so…

Upon arriving at one of the rooms, I saw Uncle Ddraig was sleeping there. He had some kind of manga covering his face as he snored, so I summoned a small pebble and flicked it at him. He was startled awake and looked at me and my hand.

"You could have woken me up normally, Kyoho. What time is it?" he asked while he picked his Manga up and put it away.

"Lunch, we have a few minutes to do anything. Let's go out and get some food in a different country after we speak with the Gremory peerage," I told him. He agreed while looking hungry, so I gave him some bread I had left over from yesterday.

We finally arrived in the room and the devils in there were eating as well. "Yo. You needed me?" I asked and took a seat with Uncle Ddraig. Akeno poured us some tea and we thanked her.

"Onii-sama told me about it…Evil God Loki is going to attack soon?" she asked.

"Hmm? Ah yeah, he is. Why do you ask?" I replied.

But first, there is the Shalba thing and the Khaos Brigade attacking. Though, I don't know how that will work because apparently Diodora was already arrested and sealed up. Should I involve myself? Truthfully, I have no interest in doing so. I barely helped them during the summer, except for throwing God-class attacks their way and forcing them to survive.

"Where and when?" she asked.

"Can't remember, but…your so-called Rating Game with Dio-rat (Diodora) will have the Khaos Brigade attack it, Shalba, one of the inheritors of the blood of the Satan's will appear and…yeah, good luck," I told them and drank my tea.

Again, they were stunned. "But since Dio-rat was arrested, I dunno how that will play out, so…good luck. I'll tell Zechs this when I speak to him later, so anything else?" I asked and got more tea from Akeno.

Rias rubbed her head in annoyance and nodded. "You said…something about Runeas-sama? The First Generation Gremory?"

"Yeah, she's alive, hiding, sleeping, and she doesn't want to age. She's somewhere in the Gremory territory and wakes up every few millennia or so. Anyway, your dad knows about her and Venelana, I think?"

"S-speaking about my mother…"

"She likes dad, but isn't in a relationship with him. It's complicated, the Zeoticus of our universe knows and turns a blind eye, their…relationship is already dead. But they're staying together because they don't want the other devils to find out—a divorce is messy after all," I told her.

According to dad, and my other mothers. Nothing has happened between him and Auntie Venelana. Well, she was turned immortal, so…the plan is to basically wait for Zeoticus to die after 10,000 years and bam she can be a widow and join dad's harem.

It's like that since dad's just weird about relationships. Though I doubt it's all 'vanilla' or what he says, since I've caught them making out before so…

"W-wait, d-does that mean Prez, Prez's mom and your dad…?!" Issei asked, and then his nose started to bleed.

"I mean…in the future, I guess?" I replied to his perverted question.

"Calm your hormones down, perv," said Koneko. She then punched him in the gut, knocking the wind out of him. Akeno giggled at him and gave him some tissues.

"Then, can we join you?" Rias asked.

"Ask your brother, I don't know," I replied. I looked over at Xenovia who had been staring at me quite hard. "Is something wrong?"

"Am I pregnant?" she bluntly asked. This caused a few of her club members to spit out their tea.

I shook my head. "As far as I know, Mother-Lavinia was the only one pregnant recently, not including my own biological mother, Kuroka."

Xenovia nodded and muttered, "The Dual Dragon Emperor and the me of your world…they will surely have a powerful baby once they reach the appropriate age."

I sat there in silence; I didn't know how to respond to that. Since nothing was really being said, I—

"Ah, may I fight you?" she suddenly asked.

"I don't mind, but I would rather not do that right now. I'm lazy as hell right now," I replied. "If you manage to convince Sirzechs and come down to your territory, then I don't mind sparring with you down there."

"Prez!!" Xenovia shouted and looked at her.

Rias sighed and agreed to talk to her brother. She summoned a magic communication circle and spoke to him through it. Once she mentioned joining me, he said he wouldn't mind, but she needed my permission. She looked at me and I gave her a thumbs up.

"He said it was okay," said Rias.

"Okay, very well, you and your peerage may join. I will also have an area prepared for their sparring match, Ria-tan," replied Sirzechs.

"T-thank you Onii-sama." Once they spoke about random stuff for a few more minutes, their call ended.

"I'll go prepare!" Xenovia shouted and ran out of the room.

After that, I left for another country with Uncle Ddraig. We had a lot of eyes on us, I mean I was still in uniform and Uncle Ddraig was wearing flashy clothes. Also, a lot of them were from the Supernatural, but a simple pulse of aura made them run away.

If they thought they could take us on, then they got another thing coming. Idiots only come after the strong. If people like that stay away from dad because of his reputation and known power, I'll just do the same thing minus the reputation part. Most God-class beings are still powerful after all, and not many can match them.

Once we got our food from a nearby food vendor, we went to a different country, this time it was in Ireland. Uncle Ddraig wanted to eat here for some reason.

"Did you guys ever come here often?" I asked.

[Well, it's your dad's home country, so yeah. We have been here a couple of times. It was…interesting to say the least. Who knows what differences it might have, you know?]

"Well, I did see Mother-Áine and Mother-Danu, apart from that, no one else," I replied. Uncle Ddraig and I skipped the rest of my classes, and I got an angry call from Sona berating me. However, I dismissed the magic circle, so I would deal with her another time.

❁❁❁❁

Later on the day, we went back to Kuoh and joined the Gremory group to go to the Gremory territory. When we arrived in the Underworld, we were immediately greeted by several maids and butlers that lined their garden.

"Fucking hell, Rias. I just wanted to speak to the guy, not be paraded like this," I told her.

"My family is just like this. Forgive them," replied the girl as she smiled at the servants. She then turned back to me and asked, "You don't have anything like this?"

Uncle Ddraig snickered and said, [My Partner may be super powerful and you would probably assume he has millions of maids and butlers, but in reality, he only has a few. In our home the [Sanctuary], everything is nearly automatic, so cleaning and things like that is done automatically by magic or android robots.]

He sighed and added, [Though, the Grayfia he's married to hated it since she couldn't perform her duties as a maid, as did the other maids he had. So at least twice a week…he'll let them perform their duties and stop the automatic cleaning and other programs he had.]

I think that was the first time that Mother-Grayfia truly became angry with dad, but at the same time, when he finally let them have two days…most was forgiven. She's still a bit annoyed by it, but since a lot of time has passed, she's mostly indifferent to it. However, dad did increase it to three times a week, so they're quite happy with it.

As they spoke, we eventually arrived at the front door and were greeted by…a random maid. I expected Grayfia Lucifuge to be there, but unfortunately it wasn't her. I guess she's with Sirzechs and is waiting for us.

We were led to his office and we all entered it and as I speculated, Grayfia was there, along with the rest of Sirzechs' peerage and even Serafall Leviathan and Sona and her peerage were there.

"Sona? You're here? Did you invite them Oni—I mean, Satan Lucifer-sama?" Rias asked her older brother.

"Haha, it's fine if you call me Onii-sama, Rias. This discussion, while important, isn't that heavy. Please come and sit," he told us and we did. "Are your mothers not here today, Kyoho?"

"They're busy exploring America and other places." Truth be told, I have no idea what they were doing, but I gave a realistic enough answer that he accepted. Uncle Ddraig said nothing and a bunch of maids came in with trays with tea and snacks.

"So do you wanna ask about the Runeas thing, Grayfia and possibly your mother?" I asked.

"M-my mother…? W-wait hold on a minute, what do you—?" Sirzechs asked me and then looked at Rias and her peerage…who awkwardly looked away. "Ise-kun."

"Y-yes, Satan-sama?!" replied Issei in a panic.

"Can you please tell me what Kyoho told you about my mother?" he asked calmly. Issei looked like he was going to cry, but accepted the request and explained to him what I had said to them.

"You're already aware of what I told you back then, Zechs," I told him and he nodded.

"Different universes and different histories and events. I know, Kyoho, I know. So…what can you tell us about First Generation-sama, Grayfia and anything relevant to the Gremory?" he asked.

"Let's make it quick then—"

❁❁❁❁

Around an hour later I was finished telling them a bunch of things. Like how Mother-Runeas and Mother-Chysis joined my dad's harem, how Mother-Grayfia operated and the strange relationship Auntie Venelana and dad had. I also told them about Auntie Asteri and Uncle Millicas in our universe.

"Ah…my son became that powerful, huh?"

"Well, I don't think the Millicas of this world will become that powerful, but he still will most likely become a Super Devil like you," I said and took a sip of my tea. Sirzechs nodded his head while wiping a tear from his eye.

I got up and stretched my body. "Well, that's everything, right? Xenovia, let's get to that sparring match."

Xenovia who had been listening quite intently suddenly jolted up and saluted me for some reason. Sirzechs chuckled and agreed with me.

"Very well. Thank you for telling us that…interesting story about your father's past. We'll take you to a different space to fight then.

We were transported to an underground space created by the Gremory and a few devils. In front of us was what seemed to be an endless field. From photos and images I've seen this place slightly resembled my dad's previous home in Kuoh—his [Training Facility].

"Let's get to it then. You guys can pick who's the arbiter for this sparring match," I told them and jumped away followed by Xenovia.

❁❁❁❁

Third Person Point of View

❁❁❁❁

Xenovia and Kyoho stood at opposite sides of each other. Xenovia who wore her school uniform summoned her [Durandal] and changed into a stance. The person who came forward to be the arbiter of their match was Grayfia Lucifuge.

After Kyoho told her of what had happened, including everything—even the fact that her brother, Euclid Lucifuge was still alive, shocked her to the core. However, Kyoho didn't care that much, and let her process it herself. He could differentiate between this Grayfia and his Grayfia who took care of him since he was a child. They were vastly different yet still similar in some aspects.

"I'll be in your care!" Xenovia shouted.

"Ditto," replied Kyoho and summoned a sword.

"What's that?" Xenovia asked, intrigued by the weapon she saw Kyoho holding. It resembled a short blade—almost like a katana.

"A smoothie," replied Kyoho and summoned one before sipping from it. Xenovia became confused, and so did the rest, but Grayfia became a bit annoyed. "Well, it's a Katana…dad made it for me. It's got a lot of functions, but…I'll only show you a few things, anyway I'm ready."

Grayfia looked at both fighters and said, "If both are ready, let this sparring match…begin!"

With that signal, Xenovia immediately dashed towards Kyoho who hadn't moved from his spot. He quickly finished drinking the smoothie he summoned and made a slight adjustment to his posture. Xenovia's downward slash missed him; however, she followed it up by kicking Kyoho on the side, but to her surprise he blocked it with his hand.

"Man, you two are really alike, huh?" he asked.

[Well, they are essentially the same person, Kyoho,] said his Uncle Ddraig.

Kyoho chuckled and dodged another attack from Xenovia. "I guess so!"

He casually dodged all of her attacks, either by jumping over them, blocking them with his hands or using his touki. Not a single strike from Xenovia 'hit' Kyoho with her purposeful intent. This left Xenovia frustrated as her attacks became wilder and more aggressive.

"Hmm…so you haven't bonded with [Durandal], huh?" asked Kyoho as he looked at her. This confused Xenovia but she kept on attacking.

Kyoho finally retaliated and swung his katana horizontally slowly. This left ample time for Xenovia to block it, but she was still blown away. His attack also created a powerful shockwave that surprised everyone.

Xenovia smiled as she thought she had completely blocked his blow, but to her astonishment multiple cuts appeared around her body. They were all shallow so they weren't life-threatening, but it still left her stunned.

"It's nothing special. I simply attacked you at a speed you couldn't follow. Also, I used a certain technique Mother-Xenovia taught me," he told her.

"Heh, so it was from me, huh? I have much to learn then!" shouted Xenovia who charged back at Kyoho.

Kyoho smirked. Both of their weapons collided and sparks flew around them. Each swing, each strike that Xenovia threw at Kyoho was met with resistance. No matter what she used to try her attacks didn't reach him. But his attacks did. Every time their weapons collided; Xenovia would gain another small shallow cut somewhere in her body.

'So…this is the power of a god-class being…? No, he hasn't taken me seriously at all…!' thought Xenovia. 'Then I'll force him!'

Xenovia, who had been fighting at 80% of her power, decided to go above and beyond her 100%, she was planning on surpassing her limits right now. She suddenly disappeared much to Kyoho's surprise and appeared behind him.

As he went to block her from behind, his instincts screamed at him and instead, he blocked with his sword to his right side. To his surprise, Xenovia had managed to create an afterimage behind him and instead the real one attacked him on his side.

He couldn't help but grin at this. Something like this had happened to him before—the more he fought against his father, Jin, the more he improved. He speculated that his dad did it on purpose, that he would train them even when he fought him seriously.

'Did I inherit that or something, or am I copying dad subconsciously?' he asked himself. He shook his head and focused on his fight. The longer they fought, the more that Xenovia improved as she started to use tactics and strange ways to fight.

"Xenovia's a powerful warrior, and we know that Kyoho was a monster, but I didn't think it would be this one-sided…" muttered Issei.

"Kyoho-kun simply trained all of us during the summer break. We had never fought him one-on-one, so we didn't know how powerful he was in that kind of situation. Though you have to remember the situation back in the Peace Conference," replied Kiba.

"S-situation?" asked Issei.

"Even though they didn't fight, he injured Vali by using a simple bullet of touki. He has never once used his touki against us—well, he has right now while fighting Xenovia, but it's mostly utilized defensively," explained Kiba.

"Also…who knows what that brat is still hiding?" said a voice. They all turned to it and found Azazel there.

"What do you mean, Azazel-sensei?" asked Saji.

While looking at the match, Azazel said, "Different Omniverses, meaning, potentially different evolutionary paths with technology—especially Sacred Gears and their Balance Breakers—or perhaps they made something else?" Azazel looked at Ddraig who laughed.

[Okay, I'll bite, Governor. As a collaborative effort between you, your wife, and my partner. A new type of weapon was created, it was refined over the years and finally given to Kyoho. Now…you and your wife can't make it on your own since you need to harness the power of the cosmos for it, so…]

Ddraig paused and looked at the fight before looking back at everyone. They eagerly waited for him to continue.

[They're called Cosmic Gears. You named them as a tribute to Sacred Gears. They have a similar thing like Balance Breakers, called an Overdrive. But nothing like the [Juggernaut Drive] or [Breakdown the Beast] yet since Kyoho only uses it as a last resort. But he does have a high mastery of it,] explained Ddraig.

"Cosmic Gears…Overdrive and last resort?" asked Azazel.

[Yeah, it pushes him to the level of power comparable to Ophis and the Great Red. His power at full power is around a god-class being. Below Shiva, so around the Middle…]

Before they could continue talking, they heard a powerful boom and they looked back over. They saw Xenovia on the ground not moving and Kyoho standing still.

"Winner, Kyoho Toujou!" shouted Grayfia.

[Well, you can ask him about it. I don't know much about the details, ah, but there's no creature inside it so…I guess a [Juggernaut Drive] or [Breakdown the Beast] is impossible, huh? Who knows about the X-side or Abyss-side Balance Breakers though.]

❁❁❁❁

Kyoho Toujou's Soliloquy

❁❁❁❁

I pulled out a slime ball and threw it at Xenovia. It healed all her injuries and she immediately woke up.

"What happened?!" she asked. She then noticed that I was above her and awkwardly laughed. "I lost?"

"Yeah," I replied and offered my hand to her. She accepted and I pulled her up. "Keep on training, and use your brain more."

"Kyoooohoooooooooo!!" Azazel shouted my name while running towards me. I've seen that dumb look many times—did Uncle Ddraig tell him about the Cosmic Gear? I looked at him and he grinned, damn you!

❁❁❁❁

A few weeks passed and—

[You…]

A chill ran through everyone's bodies. The Gremory peerage and others were in a dimension created by [Dimension Lost]. While the events didn't take place like usual, Shalba and other devils still attacked the Underworld, and right now…

[Made the wrong choice…]

The area shook violently as Issei Hyoudou's aura erupted. They all thought Asia had died, but I teleported her to me, and I was a far distance away, but I could still see what was happening. Right now, he was about to…

"I, who is about to awaken…"

<It has begun.>

<Looks like it's starting.>

"Am the Heavenly Dragon who has stolen the principles of domination from God…"

<It's always been like this.>

<Yep, it never changes.>

"I laugh at the 'infinite', and I fret over the 'dream'…"

<Sought after by the world…>

<Rejected by the world…>

"I shall become the Red Dragon of Domination…"

<It's always about power.>

<It's always about love.>

<<Time and time again...you guys choose destruction!!>>

His armor changed. It became angular, bestial and with a pair of giant wings sprouting from his back. His hands were wrapped in sharp razor claws and hornlike protrusions from his helmet. Every single gem around his gem glowed and a myriad of voices cried out.

"""And I shall sink you to the depths of the crimson purgatory!"""

"This is—"

[Juggernaut Drive!!!!!!!!!!]

"K-Kyoho-san…?" Asia asked as she woke up. She then noticed the enormous power surging through the area and looked over. Asia gasped. "I-is that Ise-san…?"

"He thought you had died, and he entered his [Juggernaut Drive]. The longer he uses it, the shorter his life expectancy will be," I told her.

"W-we have to stop him!" she shouted at me and began struggling.

"We will, but first let's wait for him to kill Shalba," I told her. The 'fight' was quite one-sided as Issei in his [Juggernaut Drive] manhandled Shalba Beelzebub. Finally, Issei began to boost 100 times, so we began to approach them.

However, seeing as how it might be dangerous, I stopped at a considerable distance away and teleported the Gremory peerage near me.

"Eh? Wait—Asia?!" they all shouted.

"Sup. I teleported her away before the attack hit her. Did you guys forget that I also came here? I wanted to see what happened in the timeline. I guess it was just a bunch of stray devils and Shalba which was a bit disappointing," I said to them and let Asia go to them.

"Then…is that…?" Kiba asked and looked back at Issei.

[Longinus Smasher!!!!!!!!]

A powerful beam wiped out the area, along with Shalba. I prevented him from escaping, so he truly did die. But…Issei was still going berserk, so I walked towards him.

"K-Kyoho?!" Rias shouted.

"Get Irina and get her here, after that you can undo the [Juggernaut Drive], but until then, I'll play with him," I told them. I smirked and covered my body with touki before jumping towards Issei and slamming my foot into his face which blew him away.

This ability is said to rival Gods and the Satans! So this should be fun, I myself am a God-class being after all!

Issei roared and began firing several [Dragon Shots] from all over his body and then flew towards me! I maneuvered my body so that he would miss, and I fired several touki bullets at him. It pierced and destroyed his armor, but it quickly repaired itself.

"Let's go, Hyoudou!!" I shouted and we flew up into the air. With touki covering my body, we clashed in the air and powerful shockwaves occurred around us. However, it was clear that I had the advantage.

[Juggernaut Drive]—the one Issei is using—he's just in a berserker state, so I have the advantage! He's like a wild beast with no thought—

I did a few hand signs and shouted, "Daytime Tiger (Hirudora)!!" A powerful tiger-shaped touki stream left my hands and hit Issei! It kept pushing him until he was slammed to the ground. After that, he could only struggle while on the ground, but he was still awake.

I landed on the ground beside him and chuckled. "The fact that you're still awake is amazing. The [Juggernaut Drive] really is something, huh?"

[Well, he only ever entered it a few times, Kyoho,] said Uncle Ddraig.

"Where did you go?" I asked him. In his arms were…various types of food.

[I got hungry, and traveled to different countries to get food. Anyway, did you use Ezeri's attack?] he asked.

"Yeah, he taught me a bunch of moves. They're cool."

Suddenly, Irina and the rest of the Gremory peerage arrived and…played the Oppai Dragon song.

"This brings back memories," I said and laughed. They looked at me questioningly and I added, "Dad was also the Oppai Dragon, so this song was also his—mom sometimes played it to me when I was younger. Heck, it's still popular in our world."

Issei groaned and then poked Rias' tits and he reverted back. The women there hugged him and I sighed.

"Well, his lifespan has been cut to just 100 years, he basically has the lifespan of a normal human," I told them. I walked away as they worried about their friend, but…

[Is something wrong, Kyoho?] asked Uncle Ddraig.

"…An anomaly. Dad said something like that, right? I wonder what it is…did he…stop world-traveling in this omniverse?" I asked him.

[I doubt it. Only in our own, but he did block anyone leaving this omniverse to go to our own one. The exceptions are Team [DxD], his harem, children, and friends. So…]

"—So, that means anyone strong enough can travel between worlds? Jeez, did he make this into some kind of grand experiment or something?" I asked, but he just shrugged at me.

[Who knows? I can never read Partner's thoughts anymore, but I guess he sees this place as a means of testing his creation skills. How much can he replicate and things like that? Like, should he make it a 1:1 replication, or let this omniverse evolve by itself?]

"What do you think?"

[Latter, I think he's curious as to how it evolves by itself. He did influence a lot of our world after all, so he's curious…what would happen in a world without him? Our world did feel the brunt of it for a short few days, but it didn't turn out bad since only a few people died.]

"Hmm…well, let's just hope I can fight it," I told him and laughed.

[If not, I or your mother's can step in, so don't worry too much.]

❁❁❁❁

"Do your best guys!" I shouted at them.

Quite a bit of time had passed since Issei entered his [Juggernaut Drive] and he's made decent progress and increased his time in his Balance Breaker to 12 hours. Xenovia and the rest of the Gremory peerage have also been hard at work, training like their lives depended on it. So were the Sitri peerage too.

Right now…we were facing the Evil God Loki. So the united front of the Vali Team, Gremory, Sitri and Rossweisse were in this dimension fighting Loki. Uncle Ddraig, Mother-Zorya, Mother-Testarossa and I were watching it all unfold from a distance.

Loki tried to use Fenrir but I put that dog down quickly. Er, well, Uncle Ddraig did since he said even I would die from Fenrir, I wasn't strong enough to resist it yet. So I took his word for it.

"They're doing fine, right?" I asked.

[Yeah, they're all stronger here, but not as strong as the ones in our world,] replied Uncle Ddraig. [So they'll struggle in this fight. Go join them when you see fit.]

"Aye, aye captain."

Both Vali and Issei were already in their Balance Breaker states, and were fighting Loki together. The God looked bored, and the rest were fighting the grandsons of Loki, Sköll, Hati and mass-produced Dragon King clones, Midgardsormr's clones.

Suddenly a replica of Mjolnir appeared and Issei grabbed it. "I'm going to kick this ass!" he screamed and charged at Loki. The god dodged his hammer as he swung it at him. "Shit!"

He was then hit on his back and flew across the battlefield.

"Home run!" I shouted and Loki fired shots at us. Mother-Testarossa blew some air from her mouth to stop the attacks.

"Hmph. So the other worlders are here, huh? You have no business here, leave!" he told us. I raised my middle finger as a gesture.

"Fuck you, we go where we want to." This obviously irritated him and he fired more magic attacks at us. But his attacks didn't reach us thanks to Mother-Testarossa who kept winking and cancelling the attacks.

[Oh? He's planning on using that since Fenrir isn't here, pretty ballsy of the Lucifer of this universe,] said Uncle Ddraig with excitement.

The body of Vali Lucifer glowed brightly—Evil God Loki tried to attack him but…hundreds of large distorted blades suddenly were fired at him and he was forced to avoid and block them. However, he was also slowed down by a blizzard that suddenly engulfed this dimension.

"…[Canis Lykaon] and [Absolute Demise], huh? So they did follow us here," I muttered and looked to a certain place and found Tobio Ikuse, Lavinia Reni and the rest of the Slash/Dog Team.

"I, who am about to awaken,"

<Destroy them!>

<Destroy them all!!>

Voices that didn't belong to Vali echoed throughout the quarry. Those were the lingering resentment of the previous White Dragon Emperors who had laid dormant within his Sacred Gear.

"Am the Heavenly Dragon who lost all to the principles of supremacy,"

<The dream is over!!>

<The illusion has begun!!>

"I envy the 'infinite' and I pursue the 'dream',"

<Everything!!>

<Give me everything!!>

"I shall become the White Dragon of Supremacy,"

"""And I shall take you to the limits of innocence!!"""

[Juggernaut Drive!!!!!!!!!!]

The area around Vali was distorted and was covered in a pure white ball of light. Finally, the light scattered, and a large white dragon had taken Vali's place. In his [Juggernaut Drive] form he flew towards Loki who tried to stop him, but his defenses were broken!

Vali in his dragon form and Loki clashed in the air. The power both of them exuded was so powerful that it shook the dimension and threatened to destroy it. Issei, who had recovered stood there in shock at what he was witnessing.

Powerful explosions and shockwaves occurred all around them, and the rest of the united team could only watch from a distance.

"Vaa-kun…is strong after all," said Lavinia Reni.

"Right. He worked hard to achieve this," added Tobio Ikuse.

In the eyes of the current Hyoudou Issei, Vali was even further away. He couldn't see himself reaching that state at all. He himself couldn't control [Juggernaut Drive] since he had a piss poor demonic energy pool. Even if he did increase it…it wasn't enough to use that form, and the next time he did, it would knock down his lifespan even more, essentially killing him.

"All right let's—" As I got up to say that—I felt a chill. Mother-Zorya, Mother-Testarossa and even Uncle Ddraig had looks of concern as they looked towards Vali and Loki.

Suddenly Vali was blown away and even had his form undone. He was in his base/human form and had a look of disbelief, so did the Slash/Dog Team. But…what shocked everyone even more was that through Loki's stomach, a long black-red and distorted hand was sticking through it.

"Fufu, I do apologize. We felt powerful energy signatures from here," said a masculine voice.

"Who—" As Loki began to speak, his entire body exploded. Many around us gasped, and I jumped towards them. As I did, I heard Uncle Ddraig mutter 'anomaly'.

Anomaly's. Dad left these for me in this omniverse, these range from very strange things, an example dad told me once was that a random universe like ours would be filled with yandere men and women, or events happening at different times than what was supposed to happen.

An example of that is if 666 was never sealed and rampaged across this world, and only a few people remained as they hid from the beast. According to him, a world like that existed here. I wanted to visit one like it, but I'm not strong enough for it.

Is this anomaly…a way for me to get stronger? He wouldn't let me die though, so…I may stand a chance against them.

"How do you do, weaklings? I'm Felnas, a servant to Aroavo. It's a please to take over your world," he said with a smile.

Felnas? Aroavo? Who the hell…

Felnas had short gray hair and yellow eyes. He wore half a mask that covered his left eye, wore a black suit with white lines, black gloves and brown shoes. He had some kind of skirt around his waist that looked like a crow's wing, on his hip was a large cross, and it seemed like he had some kind of golden necklace around his neck.

A portal opened beside him and out came a female. She was smiling and then patted his head.

She had long white hair, elf-like ears, light purple eyes, and a strange accessory on her head that made it look like she had feather-like ears. She wore a red-white one-piece dress, she had long gray leggings, red heels and an enormous black coat behind her that resembled butterfly wings. She also wore red gloves and carried a weapon in her hand.

[Those two…are anomalies. They are comparable to Dragon God-class beings,] said Uncle Ddraig.

"My, oh my, I don't like being called that, Mr. Dragon," said the woman. "I'm Aroavo, and I'm conquering a few planets to extend my empire."

❁❁❁❁

Third Person Point of View

❁❁❁❁

There was an increase in the intensity of the blizzard around the dimension. Following Ddraig's announcement, the current team decided to face the two that arrived.

[If you are not careful, you will die,] Ddraig added.

"That's a challenge then!" shouted Vali and entered his Balance Breaker before he flew towards the man called Felnas. Vali's fist slammed into his face, but he didn't flinch. Felnas smiled and back handed Vali. Seconds later Vali slammed back into the ground.

"Vaa-kun!" shouted Lavinia with worry. She frowned and summoned a three-meter-tall humanoid ice woman and it started firing ice and snow attacks at the man. However, like earlier it didn't do anything.

Suddenly Tobio Ikuse, Jin (Canis Lykaon) and Kouki Samejima appeared behind Aroavo. Tobio Ikuse and Jin slashed their weapons at her while Kouki thrust his electric spear towards her. To their utter horror she stopped their attacks with both her index fingers.

"Ah, ah, ah~ that's not nice, you know~?" she smiled at them and backhanded all three of them and they slammed into the ground like Vali.

Various attacks then hit them, ranging from demonic attacks, magic and light attacks. Saji suddenly teleported in and he was in his [Vritra Promotion] and began going berserk. Various tentacles that were made of [Absorption Line] and [Delete Field] were flying everywhere. However, most of them were aimed at the two new enemies.

Saji in his dragon form then fired a breath attack made of [Blaze Black Flare]. However, all of that were rendered useless since Felnas put his hand forward and a large black-red crow-like wing appeared and blocked them all. The lines that Saji created then shattered, surprising everyone. He was also blown away and knocked out of the form, but he stayed unconscious.

All of a sudden, Issei flew towards them with Mjolnir in hand and slammed it into Felnas' wing. To his surprise, it cracked—even Aroavo was also surprised by this.

[Looks like he made contact with the Breast Fairy. Take advantage of this—]

But before they could, Aroavo attacked Issei and he crashed back to the ground, but he kept on screaming. Once the dust settled, they noticed that his left arm was missing.

"Issei!!" the Gremory peerage screamed and ran over to him.

"We should destroy that hammer, it's a nuisance—" As she said that, Kyoho suddenly appeared behind them and slammed his touki covered fist at them. Again, Felnas' wing shattered to his surprise and his fist connected with his face!

Kyoho followed up by firing a ball of touki at Aroavo who smiled at him. The ball stopped in front of her face and she tried to backhand Kyoho, who dodged it and he sent a kick towards her head and she blocked that attack too.

"Bitch."

"My, what a foul mouth," she replied to his provocation. However, Felnas came back with a look of fury on his face.

He and Kyoho disappeared as they clashed all around the dimension. It was clear to both of them that Felnas had the advantage. However, Kyoho used his experience to block, parry and deflect Felnas' punches and kicks.

"I've never had a lower life form hit me before!" he roared at Kyoho.

"I'm a higher existence than you, moron," replied Kyoho and created several clones of him and they al began attacking Felnas who quickly killed them. However, Kyoho appeared behind him and tried to punch him. However, a large feather jutted out of Felnas' back, piercing the young man in the stomach.

"Pathetic," said Felnas. But to his surprise the Kyoho he hit disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"Yeah, I agree!" shouted Kyoho as he slammed his foot, crushing Felnas' balls. The man fell to the ground screaming and clutching his private parts.

Kyoho began laughing at what he had done. He had copied Xenovia's move that she used on him; he knew it would work because Felnas was underestimating him the entire time. He then felt a cold chill behind him and he swung his arm behind him, but to his shock it was caught. The one who did that was Aroavo.

Kyoho dislocated his shoulder and disappeared from her sight, surprising her. He appeared behind her and she felt various attacks hit her body. Kyoho grinned and fixed his shoulder. He hadn't used his entire speed against Felnas, so when he escaped her grasp, he had used all of his power, which caught her off guard. He knew that it wouldn't work again.

Aroavo suddenly pointed at Felnas and he had stopped crying about his crushed genitalia. He floated up, looking furious. The power around him began to surge, and the entire dimension began to shake.

The rest of the team were too stunned by this, but some did fire attacks at them, only for those attacks to be destroyed.

"I'm going to kill you…!" uttered Felnas menacingly. Kyoho knew that he had to take this seriously now, or else he would die.

"It can't be helped then," replied Kyoho. Suddenly his cat ears and tails appeared. In total, Kyoho had 9 tails. His ears and tail resembled those of his mother, except that three of the tails were silver, and one of his ears was also colored silver. He also covered his body with touki again.

"Bring it, you bitch boy!" shouted Kyoho and both of them disappeared, but— "Khhh…!" Kyoho was overpowered by his opponent.

Ddraig, and Kyoho's two mothers teleported everyone near them and covered themselves in a barrier.

"E-eh? U-um, shouldn't we help K-Kyoho-senpai?" asked Gasper nervously.

[It's an anomaly, so we leave it to him. None of you can take them on, maybe Shiva, Ophis and the Great Red, but no one else. Hmm, potentially Sirzechs and Ajuka, as well as the Top 10 strongest of this world—though that's stretching it,] said Ddraig.

As he finished saying that, Kyoho slammed into their barrier, his body bleeding profusely. "Shit!"

"…Are you sure he'll be fine?" asked Tobio as he looked at Kyoho with worry.

[Yes. He hasn't used 'it' yet, and he'll be comparable to them if he does.]

After hearing that, everyone in the barrier stopped speaking and looked at the battle in front of them. And safe to say, Kyoho was being manhandled by Felnas. Every move, attack, technique, magic attack—anything he threw at him was rendered useless.

"I really need to train more in the tower, sheesh…" complained Kyoho as he was hit again in the face and crashed to the ground.

Felnas floated above him with his two wings flapping behind him. Kyoho stood up shakily but had a massive grin on his face. "It's about time then. I can't really fight evenly if I don't," he said to himself.

Kyoho grabbed the necklace around his neck and grinned at Felnas who showed no reaction. The pupils in his eyes sharpened like a snake and he shouted, "Overdrive!"

Seconds later, the area around Kyoho erupted into a white and blue pillar of light. Felnas who was near it moved away as he sensed that he would be harmed if he even touched that pillar. Even Aroavo squinted her eyes at the power surged that they both felt.

Once the pillar of light vanished, Kyoho Toujou stood there with his body covered in a white and blue armor that looked futuristic. Several protrusions jutted out of his armor and blue and white sparks emanated from his armor. The eyes of his armor glowed blue as he stared up at Felnas who had a look of surprised etched across his face.

Kyoho brought his right arm forward and clenched it. "Time for round two!" he shouted at the man and slammed his fist into his gut.

Felnas was shocked and confused. He didn't even feel Kyoho move, and the next thing he felt was a powerful fist in his stomach. Felnas was thrown away and Kyoho followed after him immediately. The man corrected himself midair and summoned millions of black and red magic circles that fired black-red feathers and also magic attacks.

Kyoho grinned behind his helmet and put his hand forward.

[Reflect!] he shouted and the attacks that were aimed at him were reflected back to Felnas. He tried to control his attacks, but they didn't listen to him, so he avoided them—but seconds later his attacks turned around and struck him on the back.

Felnas was shocked as he looked at the feathers that were sticking in his back as well as several small holes. This angered him even further and the dimension began to shake even more. This time around fifty monsters that looked like avian appeared. Most of them were black, red, or a mix of the two colors.

Even more creatures appeared below Kyoho as some resembled dogs, lions, tigers, elephants, hippos and other creatures he hadn't seen before.

[That's useless, you know?] said Kyoto before he waved his hands around him as they glowed a bright white-blue light. […Dismantle,] he muttered as the creatures around them began to crumble away.

Felnas stared at the young man in disbelief. He tried to create more creatures, but Kyoho simply used the same ability again and rendered Felnas' technique useless.

"…Very well. I will acknowledge that you are strong, human," said Felnas calmly. He landed on the ground and so did Kyoho. "But this is as far as you go."

Felnas began to transform. His body was covered in a black-red sphere, but—

[Yeah, no,] said Kyoho before he dashed towards Felnas and covered his right arm with a vast amount of touki and slammed his fist into his chest.

Felnas coughed up blood and was launched away—a powerful shockwave followed after it which also wiped out a large portion of the dimension. Kyoho stood there smugly and said, "You think I'll wait for you to transform?! That's why I asked my dad to add that function when I transformed so I wouldn't be interrupted! …Bitch!"

[Was that last part really necessary?] asked Ddraig.

[Yes!] shouted Kyoho, but to his surprise Felnas' aura erupted again and once the dust settled, Felnas had transformed into a large bird creature and it had taken his place. Its eyes glowed gold, as did its break. Its feathers were black-red but also looked like they were made of metal.

Felnas' bird form was around 30-meters tall and wide. Felnas squinted his eyes at Kyoho before he roared, and more magic circles appeared behind him. Several black-red tentacles also appeared beneath Kyoho and he used his [Dismantle] on them, destroying them. He looked back in front of him and used [Reflect] and launched the attacks back at Felnas.

The bird creature then fired a powerful breath attack at Kyoho which split apart into thousands of lines. He dodged them, but he noticed that they followed him. He grinned again and used more of his speed. He jumped on top of the moving breath attacks and slowly made his way towards Felnas while maneuvering on them.

"H-how's he running on them?!" Issei asked in surprise. "Hey, Ddraig can we do that?!"

[[No,]] both dragons replied.

"Kyoho…is using touki to cover his feet and run along those breath attacks. They're a thin layer, but if you master it to the point like him, you can use it more than just increasing your strength," said Zorya.

"Nee-sama…can you do that?" Koneko asked her older sister.

"Hell no! Wow, I didn't think we could do that! The future older me from another world probably knows, right nya?!" Kuroka asked Testarossa and Ddraig.

[Knows? You practically did it when fighting an Evie God. They were pretty shocked to see a Nekomata running on their laser attacks,] he told her.

"Nyaaaaaaaaaa!! I'm amazing!!" Kuroka shouted happily.

No one wanted to tell her that SHE did this yet, but they continued watching Kyoho fight the mysterious man.

Kyoho eventually reached the bird and jumped higher into the air. Felnas eyes glowed, and even more magic circles appeared all around Kyoho. He also charged up another breath attack at the young man.

"You can't dodge in the air," said Felnas. "Perish." He then unleashed all the attacks he had prepared. Numerous magic attacks were fired at Kyoho from point blank, and the golden breath attack hit him.

—Or so it seemed.

"Hmph, that's—" As Felnas was about to undo his transformation, he felt another surge of energy. He immediately looked back up and saw Kyoho unharmed. The young man had also retracted his helmet and a crazy grin was spread across his face.

In the young man's hand…was a katana. However, it was covered in a white-blue aura. "Check mate, bitch!" shouted Kyoho.

From the aura—the body and shape of a dragon's head formed. It was the same color as the aura that covered it. [Step!] he shouted. Using his Mother-Xenovia's move from her Sacred Gear, a small blue circular platform was formed behind him and he used that to launch himself towards Felnas.

In a panic, Felnas created several defensive circles in front of him. However, with Kyoho's current strength he blasted through them and raised his katana above him.

[I don't have a name for this! So I'll just say [T.H.E. E.N.D!!],] shouted Kyoho as he swung his katana forward and sliced through Felnas and landed on the ground.

A vortex of blue-white erupted from Felnas' body and a blue-white dragon materialized from the vortex before it swallowed him whole. Crunching and slicing sounds could be heard as well as Felnas' screams of horror. However, this only lasted a few seconds before the vortex and dragon disappeared.

Kyoho turned around and saw that the skull of Felnas was the only thing left. But he couldn't rest there as he turned his attention to Aroavo who didn't help her subordinate in any way. She landed on the ground too and clapped at Kyoho

"Wow~ amazing, you managed to beat him. He's been unbeatable for a few years. Well done, young man. Sooo I have a proposal. Will you become my next subordinate? He won the last duel and became mine, so I'm offering it now to you too," explained Aroavo.

[Pass. I'd rather die than work for you,] replied Kyoho.

"Fufu, I see…then die~!" said Aroavo. She appeared in front of Kyoho who reacted in time and parried her attack. Aroavo's hand was also quite sharp as sparks flew when his katana and her hand briefly touched.

"I guess I can play with you for a little bit~" she said and Kyoho was suddenly launched into the air. He quickly corrected himself and looked for the woman who had disappeared.

'Where the…behind!' Kyoho turned around and swung his sword down. But to his surprise Aroavo caught his strike. However, Kyoho didn't stop there as he followed it up by sending a kick towards her nether regions!

But to his surprise, the cape behind her moved and blocked it. "That's not nice you know? Didn't your mommy tell you that?" she asked with a frown.

[She told me to eat a lot so I could grow big and strong! And also gender equality! These hands and legs will beat up anyone they deem fit!] shouted Kyoho as thrusters activated from his legs and his kick connected with her nether regions.

Aroavo's face cringed, however, Kyoho was suddenly flung away and he landed violently on the ground. He breathed out heavily as the toll of using his Cosmic Gear was starting to appear. He hadn't spent much time with it, nor had he stayed in his Overdrive for this long, so his stamina was being drained by a considerable amount.

'I can keep going, I just hope I can beat her in the next few minutes, otherwise I'll need to ask Uncle Ddraig and my mother's for help,' he thought and sighed. [Let's—]

Aroavo suddenly appeared in front of Kyoho. He tried to block the attack, but it passed through him and landed in his stomach. Kyoho flew backwards, but as he began to regain his balance, he was then slammed into the ground, knocking the wind out of him. However, the assault didn't end there as he was thrown into the air.

Aroavo appeared in front of him again, but this time Kyoho was ready. He spun around and sent a kick at her! It landed on her head, but she didn't flinch. Kyoho could tell that she was out to kill, and the way she was looking at him made him nervously chuckle.

[Ah shi—] He was thrown around the air like a rag doll. Yet his armor protected him from the brunt of it as well as his touki. The earlier attacks by Aroavo were aimed at piercing his armor, but they didn't, so she became frustrated, and she decided to treat Kyoho like a toy.

She smacked him around the air using her superior power and speed, and slowly broke through his armor. It kept repairing itself at the cost of Kyoho's stamina and it was depleting fast. Kyoho also knew this and was bracing for the final blow. He was suddenly slammed into the ground, leaving behind a large crater.

Kyoho's…Overdrive had run out, and he was left back in his base form. He kneeled down while panting.

"Shit…the last time I was pushed this much was when dad and I fought seriously…!" he mumbled to himself. His vision had started to blur, but he could tell that Aroavo had landed in front of him.

"I tried to be kind to you, you know? I even offered you a way to save your life. Most would accept, but you…you just wouldn't, would you?" she asked in an indifferent tone.

Kyoho looked up the best he could and grinned. "I don't take orders from anyone. Only from myself, my mother's and dad…since they can kick my ass to hell and back a million times over."

"Foolish child," said Aroavo as she thrust her hand towards Kyoho's heart.

"Heeeeeeeey why aren't you helping!!?" shouted Issei as he slammed his arm against the barrier around them. He had long forgotten about his missing arm, as he was concerned about his classmate. The rest of the united team shared his horror and frustrations.

Yet…

All three of them were smiling.

[It's fine,] said Ddraig.

"He won't let anything happen to us or his child," said Zorya.

"Fufu, he is a worrywart after all," said Testarossa.

All of them were confused by their calmness. However, as Aroavo's hand was about to reach Kyoho's throat, a powerful light slammed into the ground surprising her and the Gremory and Vali group. The light disappeared a few seconds later.

In its place a man stood. He had short messy silver hair, sharp silver eyes and a calm smile on his place. He wore a black and gray business suit and a black cape behind him.

"Wh-who the hell…?!" asked Issei as he and everyone stared at the man. The man suddenly pointed his thumb behind him, restoring Issei's missing arm, much to his and the others' shock.

"Hey, Kyoho. Did you grow stronger since we last saw each other?" the man asked.

[Hehe, he really did come,] said Ddraig.

"Who is he?" asked Lavinia. Her eyes were drawn to the man, but she had some hunch as to who he was, and her heart raced for unknown reasons.

Before Ddraig could answer, Kyoho himself shouted, "D-dad?!"

"Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh?! D-daaaaaaaaaaaaaaad?! Th-that's—!"

Everyone shared Issei's shock and Ddraig grinned.

[Correct! That is Jin Skyward, my partner and the Dual Dragon Emperor!] Ddraig shouted. After he did, a powerful silver aura exploded from Jin.

"How about you and I tango this time?" Jin asked the woman as he began to close his grip on her hand.
