Chapter 21: Making Infinity Gauntlet with Lolis instead of Infinity Stones.
Azazel, Michael and Serafall arrive next to Ray who is frantically coughing out blood. Ray manipulates his hand to access the inventory before taking out a blood vial with a needle attached to it. Artemis took it before stabbing it on Ray's left arm to heal his flesh body's injury.
Ray coughs a bit more as he forcefully uses Hemokinesis to correct his blood flow and remove the blood from places it shouldn't be at, like his lungs. He threw out the blood on the floor without worry since only his true body's blood contains very high vitality.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. It was just the blood flooding my lungs that caused me to coughing blood." Ray said to assure Artemis, Tsukuyomi and Ddraig that he is fine.
Ray then noticed the group of people standing near him. He can see Azazel's pissed face looking at him while the other is only checking on him.
"So… care to explain why you keep them a secret from me? I thought we were research buddies? I helped you with a lot of research before, you should share some of your materials too." Azazel bombarded Ray rapidly.
"A favor for another, you helped me and I helped you. We have no outstanding favor to exchange for borrowing the longinus. Even if I did, I won't lend it to you at all since it's my secret just like your own Down Fall Dragon Spear." Azazel slumped over instantly when Ray brought up the Down Fall Dragon Spear.
"But for real though, how did you extract the Longinus? Since you yourself killed the previous host of Incinerate Anthem, Walburga. There is no chance you obtain it naturally and you. The Boosted Gear I can understand since you are a former human turn god." Azazel asked while Ray saw that Vali was slowly walking up to them.
"Before that…"
"Yo, Vali of Grigori. Or should I call you Vali of Khaos Brigade?" Everyone turns to Vali who looks shocked that Ray knew about the Khaos Brigade and his involvement with it.
"The mysterious person is correct, you are a danger to the world… however I don't care about it since your plan didn't matter to me. I don't care if you are an eldritch deity, what I care is you are the host of the Boosted Gear." Vali then a pair of wings, the Divine Dividing appear before he floats in the sky.
"We finally meet again… Ddraig. Ahem, may I ask-"
"Don't! Don't mention about it." Ddraig looks at the draconic wings on Vali's back before looking at Ray again.
He wanted to warn Albion and his host about Ray but he cannot reveal Ray able to force Sacred Gear's soul to submit since it will be considered as betraying her master. He could only warn them that Ray is dangerous.
Almost everyone can see that Ddraig is trembling slightly as if in fear while Ray smirks, knowing Ddraig's intention but doesn't stop her since Vali will challenge him regardless and even more willing if Ray is indeed dangerous.
"A… Albion, you should stop your host from challenging…" Ddraig gulped as she felt her feeling of discomfort grow when she saw Ray smirk wider as if she was dancing in Ray's palm. "You must prevent your host from challenging my… master. Your host will lose miserably." Ddraig feels her back is drenched in cold sweat.
"My my, I don't think he would back off from the challenge though. Dear Ddraig. Your warning only makes him want to challenge me even more… Isn't it correct, Vali." Ray instantly switches to his 'researching' mood as he finds another specimen to replace the loss of Ddraig.
"Indeed, I will not back down from any challenge presented to me, especially from my fated rival." Vali said with his usual arrogant personality.
Ddraig felt hopeless and could only pray for Albion's future. She knew that she had made her pledge to serve Ray and even willingly become his lover but she also respected and considered her arch-rival as a friend. She wanted to prevent Albion from becoming like her. Besides, unlike her who was taken before she could awaken to her actual host, Albion has already bonded with his host.
"Hey Azazel, since Vali has defected to the Khaos Brigade, I don't need to hold back right." Ray asks and Azazel didn't understand Ray's motive, simply nodding since Vali is their enemy.
"Then let me show you how I got the Incinerate Anthem. I have no reason to hide it anyway since the Khaos Brigade is now targeting me."
"[Dominate]!"
Ray raises his hand toward Vali to direct his titanic amount of his will and psychic abilities to subdue Albion's soul. Everyone is able to feel the spiritual pressure from his action that causes everyone including the leaders to feel like they are moving in a liquid cement while shouldering a boulder the size of a house.
Ray first attacks Albion's soul using his Psychic Knives to weaken Albion's resistance before flooding his willpower into [Dominate] to instantly overwhelm Albion's weakened resistance. As if battering the dam wall to make it fragile before crashing it with a massive tsunami wave.
The event didn't even last a minute before it ended. Ray can be seen inspecting the wings previously on Vali's back now on Ray's. Everyone is slightly confused from the disorienting spiritual pressure but when they recovered, they all saw something impossible happened. The Divine Dividing is on Ray's back!
"The Divine Dividing…" few, including Vali, exclaimed in great shock.
"Dominate… you can forcefully subdue Sacred Gear!" Azazel connected the name of his ability and what just happened.
"He can do what!" Serafall then look at Ray in terror. If Ray is able to subdue all the Sacred Gear, he can become the strongest in the world simply by owning a variety of Sacred Gear.
"I don't subdue the Sacred Gear, I subdue the soul. Like Boosted Gear and Divine Dividing or Incinerate Anthem, they have the soul that controls the gear and I only need to subdue the soul to take over the ownership of it." Ray explains while taking out a similar feature less body but clothed with a white robe to what was used by Ddraig and putting the soul of Albion into it.
Ddraig could only sigh in pity while Vali was still stunned by what just happened. Azazel is looking at what Ray is doing with the body and Divine Dividing. Serafall only looks in silence as she is still playing out the scenario of what Ray could do in her mind. Michael is neutral about this since Vali is already identified as a Khaos Brigade member and thus Michael didn't feel much more than some pity for them to be separated.
The body then transformed into an identical body like Ddraig but with a different colour scheme. Albion have pure white long hair, blue eyes, golden horn, pure white tail and replaced the wings with the Divine Dividing.
"You! What have you done to me!" Albion woke up and instantly jumped like a cat that got its tail stepped on.
Ray didn't want to waste time on Albion, he ordered Ddraig to deal with it. "Take care of her in the mindscape Ddraig." Ray then unsummon both into Sacred Gear form after Ddraig nodded.
Then they looked at each other awkwardly before Serafall decided to break the silence. "Ray… can you tell us your goals or perhaps your ambitions?"
"What? Are you perhaps thinking that I am a danger to you all now that I revealed my secret?" Ray said with a sigh. He knew that they would be wary of him, no one would go out their way to gain power without reason.
Serafall nodded "I need to assure the safety of the Underworld as a Maou." Everyone else also nodded in agreement.
"If I say for world domination, would you still willing to side with me?" Ray said jokingly although his neutral tone and expression made the rest take him seriously.
"You! Give me ba-" Vali who exited his stunned state shouted at Ray but Ray simply shrugged him off with an offhanded slap that translated to a slap to the soul by Ray causing Vali to faint.
"Is that even possible? And why would you want to dominate the world for? Your faction isn't even big enough to hold control over a quarter of the world, much less the whole thing." Azazel questioned Ray.
"Indeed, I as the 4 Great Seraph able to feel that you have a noble intent to pursue world domination rather than for selfish reasons." Michael finally said
"For real?" Serafall asked which Michael nodded along with Gabriel who just arrived after finished cleaning up the battlefield.
After a sigh, Ray then explains his not so true reason for world domination. His goal indeed is noble enough, he wanted to become qualified to be King of the Hub which is the protector of the people although the side reward is the endless fluffies he gets with the position as King of the Hub.
He explained to everyone that there is a threat on par with Great Red and it's only goal is destruction of anything and everything. A beast driven by its instinct for destruction is so dangerous that the Biblical God used his life to seal it.
"Wait, didn't dad like… died during the Great war." Azazel whispers in low tone, loud enough for everyone to hear but low enough no one unrelated hears about it.
"Yes, I was with him before he met his end." Michael said firmly.
"..."
"You guys is stupid. Didn't you find it strange that the strongest 'Primordial God' is easily killed by the strength of his mere creation, the original satan?"
"I mean, he clearly weakened even before the fight with the two Heavenly Dragons. I can see the past and he is basically weakened that much and none of you noticed?" Ray didn't know if this is due to who the 'original plot' forced it to be or if the Seraphs are idiots.
"Now that you point it out… Father did avoid battles when nearing the end of the Great War." Gabriel said.
"Well, that is because your daddy is sealing the Beast of Apocalypse, The Trihexa which coincidentally Rizevim planned to release to bring chaos to the world. That's why I am trying to 'unite' the world to fight against Rizevim. I had stolen the Sephiroth Graal which delayed his plan greatly but now he gained a mysterious helper… I'm not sure how this will play out."
(Note: the unite read as conquer)
"Beast of Apocalypse… Father once told me that that beast is a creature of chaos incarnate just like how Great Red holds the power of Dream and Ophis holds the power of Infinity." Michael says.
"If Rizevim do plan to cause chaos by unsealing Trihexa then we need to stop them. We would need to recruit other mythology to join our alliance to fight against this Khaos Brigade." Ray agreed with Azazel that they need more members to fight against the Khaos Brigade since even with their evil dragon army, they still have many members from all factions and mythologies.
"With my ability, I am able to predict what their moves are and know the Khaos Brigade main members. I plan to remove Ophis from supporting the Chaos Brigade by negotiation or by force." Ray said, which caused most of them to nod in agreement.
Since Ophis is used as a tool by Rizevim to recruit more members into Khaos Brigade, then by removing Ophis from the equation will mean lesser members of Khaos Brigade they will need to fight against.
"With your ability, I am sure that you will be able to do it but do ask for our help if you need." Azazel said.
The three factions finally lose their suspicion on Ray since what he is trying to do is a noble cause. They will wholeheartedly assist Ray in this alliance against the terrorist organisation, Khaos Brigade.
"Sure. By the way, since I proposed and pushed the alliance into its creation… Does that make me the alliance leader?" Ray asked to confirm it.
The mission only says he has to conquer the world, the method is depending on him. Then that means if he becomes the leader of this growing alliance, even if he is only leader by name, when his power grows strong enough, people will naturally accept him as the alliance leader and this allows him to win through diplomacy.
"You know, I basically have a cheat-like clairvoyance ability that allows me to better lead the alliance, I also supply important stuff like the potions, weapons and fertility solutions. When I get stronger, I will be able to create more stuff to benefit our alliance. Finally I also have a powerhouse that can gain a spot on the top 10 strongest beings in the world." Ray reveals a little about Ikaros.
"I usually prefer to deal with problems myself but if there is an overwhelmingly strong opponent, I can depend on her to fight."
He didn't need to hide it anymore since Ikaros will be his deterrence against those who want to try their luck to fight his faction. However the spirits will be harder because of their angels which can cause trouble he rather avoids and will cross the bridge when he gets there.
"Come out and introduce yourselves Ikaros."
As soon as Ikaros appeared, the angels and fallen angel became silent as they looked at Ikaros with wide eyes. Ray even saw Michael rub his eyes a little to make sure he wasn't seeing an illusion.
"Hello, I am Ikaros. A Strategic Battle-Class type Alpha Angeloid, companion of Master Ray." Still retaining her low emotional capacity, she only showed an expressionless face as she introduced herself before standing next to Ray silently and awaiting another order. Even with 10 years, Ray failed to trigger the Pandora evolution system to improve her emotional capacity.
"A mechanical angel?" Azazel manages to understand the meaning of angeloid. The original word is gnoid, which is the name of a human-like android but Ikaros is an angel-like android.
"Yes, I am a mechanical angel created to fight for our masters." Ikaros replies without any change of tone and expression.
"Who created you?" Michael was about to ask but Gabriel asked first before him.
Ikaros looks at Ray before looking back at Gabriel. "I cannot disclose but I am definitely not created by you father, the Biblical God." Ikaros said, which caused Gabriel to instantly deflate as her wings could be seen to become lowered.
This however created more questions for Azazel but he kept quiet about it.
"Well I agree with you becoming the leader of the alliance." Azazel said. "How about you two? Michael and Serafall?"
"I agree since he indeed has the advantageous ability to lead the course of our alliance when fighting against the Khaos Brigade." Michael says.
"Me too, we have too much on our plate already with leading the Underworld and cleaning up the other devils mess. If Ray wants to be a leader then we don't mind. Besides, his hunters are way better than any of our soldiers and thus deserve to be the leading factions during the fight with Khaos Brigade."
(Note: She basically throws the responsibility of becoming the main fighting force to Ray since she wants to reduce devils casualties.)
…
A month after the first conflict ended, every faction returned to their home while doing clean ups as suspicion people or group will be investigated and imprisoned or executed if found colluding with Khaos Brigade.
The factions also ended all existing conflicts between each other regardless of the reason for the conflict itself and enabled real peace between all 4 factions, especially the original 3 Biblical factions.
The Heaven undergo reformation especially regarding the church which is heavily corrupt after the investigation for the missing Excalibur fragments are conducted.
The Devil faction however is hard to clean up since they are filled with spies from lowest to the upper member of the Pillar Clans. Ray has plans to do this but he needs to set up a bait to smoke them out first since he cannot just appear and arrest them without a way to prove their involvement with Khaos Brigade.
Ray also sends out Scáthach to find Vali's group, especially Kuroka who can lead him to Ophis. The result is still none found because they all remain in low profile after Vali declared traitor for siding with Khaos Brigade.
He purposely asks Azazel to allow him to imprison Vali in an underground city, hoping that his group will try to rescue him but also no results. Using Cosmic Guidance is useless since all it tells Ray is they are hiding in dimension gap and he couldn't pinpoint them due to Ophis aura shrouding them.
Today Ray went to the abandoned church that is being rebuilt to create their embassy since Heaven is practically cannot be accessed unlike other factions that have accessible areas that other factions can easily visit.
Walking out of his house, Ray greeted an empty street as the time was still 4 am in the morning. He stretched his body a little before walking to the eastern part of the town.
As he walked further, he entered the residential area as the shop and office building had been replaced with houses. He planned to stop by Issei first before going to the now rebuilding church.
His attire is easily mistaken for a burglar robbing a house in such an ungodly hour. He wears fully dark brown from head to toe as Ray prefers singular colour instead of multi colour clothes. He wore a hoodie with a cap and a bandana that closed his head with only eyes and nose exposed. For lower part, he wear dark brown long sleeve sport pants and a dark brown adibas shoe, an off brand shoe he bought from shady shop since the proper brand didn't have dark brown colour.
When he arrived at Issei's front house, he saw a mansion instead of a house and detected Rias and her peerage members inside along with Issei and his family. He actually came here to add more of the orbs into the Sacred Gear since he grew in power again and soon was able to add the Scaled Mail form.
He activated the Presence Concealment fully to cover his presence fully instead of only aura like he usually did. Then he sneaks into Issei's house.
'Master Ray… I don't think you need to go through elaborate effort to sneak around just to add the orbs. Master can just wait until tomorrow…'
Ray however simply ignores Ddraig talking to him telepathically while he slowly lifts the window and climbs in.
'Master Ray, can't you just admit that you came here for Koneko?'
"..." Ray stopped his step on the stairs to the second floor.
'I came here just to add the orbs on Sacred Gear… It just happened that Koneko is in this house too.' Ray tells Ddraig while pretending to be oblivious to his real purpose.
'I had enough of this… you steal me from my host, I didn't mind it much since it's proof you are stronger than Vali and I accept. But, to sneak around just to find a cat youkai…' Albion finally voices his…, her thoughts.
'If you continue this, I will cause disturbance and wake everyone up to expose you. Let people know that you are a pervert that sneaks into people's houses when they are asleep.' Albion then threatens Ray.
'I start to regret not plucking all your fangs and nails like I did with Ddraig.' Ray said before reluctantly exiting the house since Albion can forcefully use Divine Dividing to dispel his Presence Concealment and they will know it's him that entered the house.
When he exited the house, he happened to see a small black cat on the tree branch which he wanted to ignore but then remembered that Nekomata or Nekoshou can shapeshift into a cat. Also the cat is awfully silent where other cats will usually meow loudly for help when stuck in high places.
'Hey Albion, you've seen Vali's team before, right?' Ray asked
'Yeah, why do you suddenly ask?'
'Does that cat look familiar to you?' Ray ask while showing the image of the cat in his mindscape where Albion and Ddraig stay when unsummoned.
'Yes, that cat looks like the black Nekoshou that joined Vali's team. Do you want to capture the Nekoshou?' Albion asks back but Ray doesn't answer and instead uses his Kinesis to float toward the cat and instantly catch it by the neck.
"Nyah… *hiss*" The cat was surprised and hissed back as she felt something caught her but she couldn't see anyone for a moment before a figure draped in full dark brown appeared in her vision and senses.
"Look what I found… a totally not suspicious cat that has demonic energy." The cat stiffened when Ray released intimidation using Haki.
Ray then Shifted to the park where Issei gets stabbed before sitting on the fountain. He then put Kuroka that still in cat form on his lap.
Kuroka didn't run away since the intimidating aura was still present and pressing down on her although Ray reduced its intensity but enough to tell her that he would crush her if she tried to run.
'So, do you know where Ophis is right now?' Kuroka instantly jumped and looked up when she heard her captor's voice talking in her head.
'What? You can't talk in that form anyway, that's why I talk directly with your mind.'
Kuroka calmed down a little and Ray's skillful petting also made her calm down faster. Ray had spent more than a decade perfecting his petting techniques on Tsukuyomi and Shinano. He already memorized all the spots that make them feel good using materials he obtained from every dimension and universes.
It doesn't matter if it's an actual animal, hybrid animal, beastman or mythical beast. If there is a field for this subject then he can easily get his PhD for petting. The evidence is Kuroka already purred without her noticing under Ray's skillful hand.
Seeing that Kuroka is too immersed with his petting, Ray asked again and she said that Ophis is in their bases like usual. Kuroka didn't notice that she divulged Ophis location until Ray stopped and walked to the nearest convenience store which is the only shop open at 4 am in the morning.
While they walked, Kuroka talked with Ray through telepathy. Since she cannot safely escape from Ray, she just stays with him for now since he doesn't really want to capture or kill her anyway.
'Why did you not capture me and send me to the devil faction nya? I'm a SS rank stray devil you know, a criminal nya.'
"I don't really care if you are a criminal since I only capture you to lead me to Ophis. Also, I know you aren't really a criminal since you kill your master to save Koneko right?"
Ray then turned left at the intersection and saw the convenience store. When he walks in, the store clerk is about to greet him but looking at Ray's attire, the clerk looks at Ray warily.
Ray's hand remained in his hoodie pocket to take out money from his inventory but the store clerk thought Ray was holding a gun. "Take out all the sweets and dessert items from your stock quickly."
The panicking clerk quickly opens the cash register machine and gives Ray the money while shaking in fear. Ray thought for a bit before he realized he dressed like an actual robber and his hand in pocket looked like he was hiding his gun.
"Hey, calm down. I'm not robbing you, I'm buying stuff. See here, it's money." Ray took out both his hands, holding stacks of cash which finally calmed the clerk down.
The clerk then apologized but Ray shrugged it off since he was the one at fault. He then cleared the entire stock of sweets and dessert items before hypnotizing the clerk to forget about how he stored away the bought goods and cleared the security camera. He left twice the amount of money than what he actually needed to pay as reparation for scaring the clerk.
Kuroka who stay in the chest pocket, laughed mentally but Ray can hear since the telepathy link is still active.
'Oh, my goodness. I never laughed this hard before…'
'Silence cat, your laugh is annoying me.' Albion said
'Shh, master Ray is angry… you don't know what he would do if he became very pissed.' Ddraig added
'But but… it's funny nyahahahaha…'
'...'
Ray wanted to say something but he suddenly forgot and remembered he should go and meet Ophis now he had brought the peace offering to gain her attention or perhaps even bribe her to his side.
'Master Ray, as much as I believed that your power can let you see through anything… I don't think sweets and dessert are remotely useful to appease a Dragon God like Ophis.' Ddraig said after being able to read Ray's thoughts for the first time since he only recently allowed her through his mental barrier.
'Are you insane, how can a mighty Dragon God be appeased with mere food like this. What do you think a Dragon God is, a pet?' Albion cannot read Ray's thoughts but can hear what Ddraig said in the mindscape.
Ray is tempted to say yes just to spite Albion since she is rather disobedient and annoying lately. Kuroka also doubts it but she isn't sure since they never see Ophis eat anything ever since she crashed at their group when Vali joined Khaos Brigade. Also, speaking of Vali.
'Ray, why did you do that to Vali nya?'
'Weird thing to ask, Vali and I are destined rivals for possessing Boosted Gear and I simply defeated him and took Divine Dividing away as my prize. There's nothing more to it.'
'Indeed cat, although he did snatched me away from Vali. He proves himself to be superior in strength than Vali and defeats Vali. I have no qualms about him becoming my host.'
'However I am dissatisfied with the form he forced me into.'
'Your form nya?'
'Yes! He forced me and Ddraig into this humiliating form of a little girl.'
'Oi! Don't drag me into your mess. I'm satisfied with my current form… better than those abom-'
'Abom- what…' Ray suddenly asks Ddraig.
'Nothing Master Ray hahaha… I'm sleepy, wake me up if you need me *snore*' Ddraig instantly escaped and fell 'asleep' when Ray entered the conversation.
'Little girl form…' Kuroka think it's probably a coincidence.
'Enough talking, bring me to Ophis now' Ray quickly stops the mental link that turned into a chat room for them.
'If I successfully with my negotiation with Ophis, I will help free you from your criminal status and your name.' Ray added to give Kuroka some motivation.
'Really nya!'
'Yes yes… Now quickly, bring me to Ophis.'
'Really really nya!'
'Promise?
'Do you need a written contract or what?'
'Okey I believe you nya!'
Kuroka jumps out of Ray's hoodie pocket and turns into her real form, a cat girl but with two tails as a proof of her Nekoshou race. She casted the teleportation magic which is hidden from normal people since Ray entered the deserted alleyway after exiting the convenience store.
Kuroka and her then appeared in a normal apartment building. Although it doesn't seem to be in Japan since the sky outside shows its evening.
"Kuroka, why did you return early? I thought you would stalk your sister until she wakes up.' A man dressed in old Chinese armor and had brown hair greeted Kuroka before looking at Ray.
"Also… who is he?" The man holds his chin while checking on Ray.
"He is… a guest Bikou, he has business with Ophis sama. By the way, where is Ophis sama?"
(Note: Sorry if I made a mistake or forgot. I am not comfortable with putting sama, dono, kun or chan. Also my birb brain struggles to remember what I put when calling different characters.)
"Ophis dono is in the- there" Bikou points to Ray's side before he could finish telling.
" *Sniff* Red and White?" Ophis said confused why a Ray would have both Ddraig and Albion scent in him.
Ray then summoned Boosted Gear and Divine Dividing which made Ophis nod her head while Bikou became shocked because the Pale Blood King who defeated Vali is here.
"Help me kill Baka Red, to reclaim silence." Ophis then offers her snake to Ray.
"Oi Kuroka! Why did you bring him here? He is part of the 4 faction alliance, enemy of Khaos Brigade!"
"He isn't here to arrest us, don't worry. He is here for Ophis only… right Ray?" Kuroka looked at Ray who nodded to her question.
"I will not join the Khaos Brigade to kill the Great Red but I can offer you silence." Ray opened the portal to the pocket dimension he created to mimic true void.
Ophis looks at it with interest. Ray then opens the portal bigger to swallow him and Ophis in. The moment Ophis entered the pocket space, she closed her eyes and curled into a fetal shape as she floated in a fixed location.
"How? Do you like it? It should be even more silent than dimension gaps since in void, there is basically no activity at all unlike dimension gaps that have few groups making use of that place."
Ophis floats for a while before she opens her black eyes before looking at Ray.
"A true silence… you let me have it?" Ophis asks, her voice has little hint of emotion than the usual emotionless tone and expression that is similar to Ikaros.
"I'll let you have this place if you leave Khaos Brigade and follow me instead."
Ophis then stares at the empty void as she thinks about her decision. Her goal is to reclaim her silence in the dimensional gap which Ray is able to provide a better one. But she feels something is missing for her to accept the deal.
(Note: I know she want to reclaim her home, the dimensional gap too but this is AU and I change it to she want silence only)
Ray then took out his secret weapon, the sweets and dessert item. He stuffs a Melon bread into her mouth which is the first one he saw in the inventory.
Ophis then starts chewing on it before devouring it instantly. She then looks at Ray in anticipation before Ray takes out more food and Ophis eats them.
'Impossible! The Dragon God Ophis is really tamed by mere food!' The dragon duo in Ray's mindscape are shocked and having their worldview shattered.
"More" Ophis said when Ray stopped giving her food.
"But you have to accept to become my companion." Ray before offering a contract to Ophis. He keeps repeating 'please accept' as Ophis only stares at him with an indiscernible expression.
'Oi Idiot! No matter how I look at it, you are pushing your luck too far. No way a Dragon God will agree to becoming a familiar.' Albion said which Ddraig also agrees.
'That's right master Ray, no matter how you-' Ddraig was interrupted by Ophis.
"Will you give me more of these?" Ophis asks with more emotion in her voice.
"Yes! I will give you these foods and more everyday if you accept." Ray is already shouting 'YES' in his heart since the negotiations are going in his favor.
"Then I accept"
"Hahahaha" Ray burst out laughing hard as the crest of two snakes biting on each tail in horizontal 8 shape appeared on his heart before he felt shearing heat a the crest engraved to his chest, in front of his heart.
Ray never said that the contract he offered is a familiar contract. What he offers is a master servant contract and since she verbally agreed to accept, the contract can take effect and now bind Ophis into Ray servant. Although he didn't need to use it to force her to do anything. He only does this to assure Ophis will always side with him.
'No… how… impossible…' The dragon duo become even more dumbfounded and repeat the few words. They simply could not believe that Ray managed to trick the Dragon God.
"More" Then Ray feel tugging on his hoodie sleeve that made him stop and loom at Ophis. She is demanding more food and Ray happily empty his entire inventory that causes some sparkle to form on Ophis' eyes.
"Ophis, can you try punching my leg here very hard." Ray asks as he points just below his left knee joint.
Ophis nodded before punching his left leg hard but when it was about to reach his leg, Ophis hand stopped before she held her head like she was experiencing a headache.
"Sorry about that, I will give you more food as an apology." Ray cooed as he gently rubbed her head.
Ophis nodded instantly when Ray said he would give more food. Ray then exits the pocket dimension before sending a message to Ellen to dedicate 20 maids with five per 6 hours shift and a kitchen to produce sweets and dessert to stock up his inventory.
Exiting the pocket dimension, he is stared by Kuroka, Bikou, Arthur Pendragon and Le Fay Pendragon.
"Yo, two new faces here." Ray looks at Arthur and Le Fay.
"My name is Arthur Pendragon and this is my sister, Le Fay Pendragon. Nice to meet you, Ray Elliot of the Pale Blood faction." Arthur introduces him and his sister.
"Where is Ophis-sama, did your negotiation go well nya?"
"What negotiation?" The other asked since they didn't really know what business Ray had with Ophis.
Ray smirked before summoning Boosted Gear to his left arm, Divine Dividing on his back and an empty gauntlet from creating artificial sacred gear to his right hand. Then the crest of Ouroboros Dragon God Ophis appears on the empty gauntlet orb before turning the red gauntlet black while the green orb turns purple.
"I feel like I'm making an Infinity Gauntlet but instead of collecting Infinity Stones. I collect lolis, hahahaha." Ray rambles, before he laughs as he cannot suppress the feeling of dopamine and adrenaline rushing into his brain from his unrestrained glee.
They cannot understand Ray's rambling but the right gauntlet that turned into black is unmistakably releasing Ophis's aura. All four of them have a similar thought ehic is what the fuck exactly happened when he vanished with Ophis.
—————
(Note: My idea starts running dry that my writing quality also starts to decline but after reading through the released chapters I stock up. Instantly get more inspiration. The taming Ophis idea I get from Uchiha Revenge DxD fic from fanfiction.net where Madara sealed Ophis in Gedo Mazo instead of Jubi and became Sage of Six Path. Ophis got the silence she wanted when sealed in Gedo Mazo by Madara.)
