Chapter 158

I was annoyed that the four Fallen were ignoring all my questions now. They were running around frantically packing everything up.

Mittelt was in the middle of stuffing her backpack when I tried to get her attention. "So what can you tell us about Issei Hyoudou?" I asked again.

"Fuck off, bitch! We don't have time. We have to get out of here!" Mittelt replied rudely.

"If you're not going to help us pack, then leave!" Raynare added.

Heather started snickering at the responses I was getting. A scowl was growing on my face. The audacity of these four to ignore me so rudely!

"All of you calm down! You're not going anywhere until I know what's going on!" I demanded as all ten of my black wings manifested behind me! Magical power wafted off me and spread throughout the church.

The four Fallen all stopped what they were doing and turned to me in shock! My powerful magical aura started to suppress them and held them all in place.

"What!?"

"That's impossible! She still has her wings!"

"Is she an Archangel!?"

"10 wings! I've never even heard of Archangels having 10 wings! I thought 6 was the highest we could go!?"

That last comment had me raising an eyebrow. That was strangely disturbing information to hear.

[It's possible this universe is also under some kind of power suppression. Beings are only able to get to a certain power level before their advancement is halted. Six wings must be the power cap here. That's good news for you since it doesn't apply to you or Heather.]

'But what about the Sacred Gears?' I hoped that suppression wouldn't end up screwing up the Boosted Gear I came here to get. That would have made this whole trip pointless.

[It shouldn't. The Boosted Gear just doubles people's power. It should still work just fine for the Ninja Gamer Girl. And if it doesn't… All trades are final. It would be her fault for not specifying that she wanted a non-nerfed Sacred Gear.]

I giggled. The system could be a bit devious when it wanted to be. If I ended up scamming the other Gamer, and giving her a nerfed Gear, at least that girl would learn a lesson for the future…

"Tie these four idiots up for me, Heather."

Heather pulled her wand out of her pocket, and four magical ropes sprung from its tip. All four Fallen were tied up with no chance of escape.

My wings receded, and the pressure I was giving off vanished. "Listen up, I am Layla of the Fallen. The newest Cadre of the Grigori in MY UNIVERSE! And the champion of Lady Death. You three idiots will tell me everything you know about this universe!" 

It didn't take long before they started talking.

…

[This Universe is weird. It's like a mix of Supernatural and DxD with none of the cool characters.]

I agreed with the system. This Earth was very strange from my perspective. First of all, there were no Marvel aspects here. I had asked about names like Tony Stark or Oscorp. The Fallen had no idea what I was talking about. There were also no Winchesters either… I was disappointed there as well. I hoped there would be at least one redeeming thing about this lame universe.

I was starting to suspect that Lady Death intentionally sent me here because nothing here could harm me. Even if I couldn't die anymore, my newest lover was apparently still worried about me…

This is what I have gathered so far about this place…

In this universe, Angels were metaphysical beings that couldn't affect anything on Earth without first inhabiting a mortal vessel. On top of that, devils weren't even a thing here. When Lucifer rebelled, he led the Fallen Angels in this realm against God and his Angels. Lucifer was defeated, and all of the surviving Fallen had their wings burned away as punishment by God… who was apparently still alive here. The Grigori here was a pale shadow of itself led by a much weaker Azazel. Without their wings, the Fallen Angels were very weak. Being forced to inhabit human vessels weakened them even further. Even regular Angels couldn't exert that much power here, or their vessels would end up falling apart.

Finally, we got to the description of this world's Sacred Gears. Those were surprisingly similar to my own reality. God attacked all the other factions and stole their stuff to create his trinkets. He then started randomly handing them out to humanity. I didn't exactly see the point in that, considering that the supernatural was much less of a threat to the humans of this Earth. But he did it anyway! Fast forward a couple of hundred years, the Supernatural community is now on the verge of going extinct! The Sacred Gear holders ended up forming a long-spanning organization that dedicates itself to eliminating all Supernatural beings from the planet… in the name of "God."

[The sheer irony of that concept… Also, I think this world's God might be evil…]

Yeah… I was definitely getting some Being X vibes from the description of the God here. I also wondered what was going on with the Archangels. Were they vastly different as well? I knew that neither Michael nor Gabriel would ever condone such wanton slaughter of other Supernatural races.

Gabriel had whispered to me, in the past, that she was actually against the Sacred Gear system being implemented in the first place. She thought locking beings' souls away to be used by humans as slaves for all eternity was cruel… and I agreed. I was glad neither of my own Sacred Gears had the souls of other beings inside them.

[You've got an eyeball inside you though…]

'Ugh… don't remind me…' I thought with a shiver. It would be just my weird luck that that eyeball did have a small lingering consciousness or some other horrifying scenario…

"So where's the Red Dragon guy now?" Heather asked. "And why are you so scared of him?"

Mittelt answered. "Last we heard, he was in Kyoto waging war against the Yokai! Princess Kunou, the last living Kitsune, was apparently his target. He already killed her mother and hundreds of other Yokai! He's the most bloodthirsty Red Dragon Emperor ever!" She finished with fear in her eyes.

I clenched my teeth and scowled when I heard that. I knew it wasn't "my" Yasaka that died, but I still felt angry. And to hear that little Kunou was now running for her life from such a guy… I wasn't going to let that stand! "Come on, Heather. We're going to Kyoto!"

Heather nodded. "Finally, some action!"

"YOU'RE GOING TO FIGHT HIM AFTER EVERYTHING WE JUST SAID!?" Raynare screamed out.

I nodded. "Damn right I am!"
