"Prepare for Absolute Destruction!"- talking
'This is troubling'- thought
[Void Walker…..]- Keepers of the Void
Chapter 7 Order Rises when Chaos Dies part 3
It been who knows how long since I visited here, the graves of my family.
"It's truly been a long time hasn't It…." I said sadly as I look to the gloomy and rainy night
"I've….done somethings that I'm not proud of…but I did it all for you all…" I said as tears started to form
"I don't ask your forgiveness, but I do wish for you all to understand my intention….for the creating of a kind and peaceful world, the old cruel and corrupt world must be destroyed…and with it I will gain many enemies…" I said as I knee down on their graves as I hold in my hand a familiar object
"Hmph…it seems, I can't interfere with balance of life with the abilities of the other world….it's fine really…..i made a contact with death incarnate….so if I were to die, death will let me see you all…." I said as I look at the object in my hand, The Holy Grail or better known as Sephiroth Graal, one of the many Longinus in the DXD world.
It was one of the many things the Order did was to collect the Longinus Telos Karma, Innovate Clear, Absolute Demise and finally Sephiroth Graal.
We helped many of the Dhampirs and vampires that didn't hate Dhampirs escape from Tepes Faction and Carmilla Faction, most of which were willing to join the order but the ones that didn't join us were willing to be protected by us, in our tests we were able to give them humanity which was that they never had to drink blood again and that they never had to fear the sun but they will still have their powers just with next to no weaknesses, thanks to it we now have many informants within the Vampire Factions.
A plus was that when we helped the Dhampirs escape the vampire Factions, we were able to meet Valerie Tepes, the User of Sephiroth Graal.
We had been researching sacred gear and the Longinus for a long time now with or without the help from God, so we were able to extract sacred gear safely, we took out the holy grail out of her and thankfully we took out 3 holy grail instead of one, with my absorption abilities I was able to absorbed it ability to bring back the dead while the order had the original two connect to machine to bring back the dead while Valerie kept one just in case.
"Ah….it seems I still haven't learned anything in my time in the new world…..i still can't escape my fate and that I still can't change yours…" I said as I cough out blood as I pull out a syringe with white liquid as I inject myself with it as the pain slowly stops
"This is my price for the powers of the void… I may not have much time left but I left my will with the order…. They will continue my work long after I'm dead….but I still have things to do before that…" I said I place my offering to my family on their graves as I leave the area but before looking at my own grave beside my sister's
I then look my current body as black veins from my heart slowly move throughout my body as the white liquid I injected into myself slowly cause the blackness to slowly move back to my heart.
'Thank you Ajuka…it's thanks to you that I'm still alive….' I thought as I leave through the portal I created
-Some time later-
"So how is everything going between you and Kallen?" I said smirking as I move my knight to take his bishop
"In that case how are you and your Pieces doing? Any of them walking for two yet?" He said to me as I simply chuckle
I'm currently playing a game of chess between me and one of my sub commanders of the order and one of my many friends, Lelouch Dantalion the heir to the Dantalion family one of the many now extinct family of the 72 pillar clans.
"Well how are the Mech projects going?" Lelouch as he takes my queen
"It's been going quite well, the Lancelot Albion and Guren S.E.I.T.E.N. are completed so both suzaku and Kallen should be happy after all being your pieces would be boring." I said sarcastically as we continue playing, in the end it was a stalemate but we had fun anyway
-Flashback-
During my time as the Black Swordsmen which was a mercenary that works the people or helps anyone that is worthy.
It's one of the many personas I have created for myself in my time alive, I was in the city when I sensed something in the deserted ally a few meters from me as I use Senjutsu and my stealth system to check it out.
I soon find my answer as I see a familiar little girl surrounded by three thug looking people.
"We finally found you little girl, we been searching for a Dantalion for a long time now…" one of them said as they started to get closer to her
"Yeah…the Khaos brigade wants to know you and your family's secrets." One of the thugs said as I slowly made my way toward the girl
"Hey you!" someone shouted at the end of the ally as I'm shocked to see who it was while the little girl's face brighten up as she shouts "Big Brother!"
"How dare you attack my little sister!" the teen shouted as he shoots out purple lightning at the attackers which almost instantly incapacitated them as he rushes to his sister as I just silently watch them
"Nunnally! Are you alright?" the teen shouted at his sister as she nods
They were too busy having a moment to notice that one of the thugs got back up and started to magic only for it to be destroyed by my Gram Dispersion, one of the many techinque that i have recreated into the DXD world as I descend from the shadows.
"Who are you!" the thugs shouted as he gotten a good look at me as he froze
"You're…..the black swordsmen!" he shouted as he tries to attack me as I simply dodge his attack and place my hand on his heads
"Feel the wrath of the void you mongrels." I said in a cold voice as the darkness of the void consumes the 3 thugs as I absorb everything that makes them who they are, people who deserve to die for kidnapping children to be used as weapons for the Khaos brigade
It was then I see the teen was standing in front of his sister as she hides behind him as they look at me, I then look at the bodies of the 3 thugs beside me as I use black flames to turn their bodies to ashes.
"Who are you, what do you want from us." The teens said calmly as I just look at him, he has ebony hair and violet eyes as I simply smile
"My name is the Black swordsmen, what are yours?" I said to them to them as I smile as my mind started to create new plans
After that I recruited lelouch into the order while Nunnally goes to the schooling area within the base as we gained the secret from the Dantalion Clan as well as lelouch quickly becoming my 2nd in command.
-Back to Present-
After discussing matters with lelouch, I decided to go on my duties as I decided to go meet the order's newest soldiers.
"Commander!" "Master!" I turn my head to see two members of my peerage, who I am quite familiar with
"Yes What is it Walter? Seras?" I said to my pawns, Walter C. Dornez and Seras V. Vladi
Walter C. Dornez, one of my pawns was part of Iscariot and nicknamed the Angel of Death and the youngest exorcist in Iscariot being about 14 years old at the time, unfortunately he didn't have a strong faith like that of most Iscariot's exorcists and with that let his downfall.
About a few months ago he and a large squad of Iscariot's exorcists or paladins as they are called were sent to destroy a village completely taken over by vampires, but of course they were lied to as the village wasn't taken over by vampires instead the villagers were living in harmony with Dhampirs that had escape from their fate from the vampire factions, they protect the village from any threats as the villagers see them as people instead of blood sucking monsters.
2 of the exorcists including Walter tried to stop the other exorcist from attacking innocents, but in their words "These Protestants pigs were hiding vampires! One of the many enemies of God! How dare you try to protect these filthy heretics! We are God's weapons to destroy monsters and non-believers, do you stand in our way? Angel of Death, Fox and ADAM?"
In the end the Dhampirs helped get the villagers to safely as the 3 exorcists, but Walter and ADAM were critically injured when the only full blooded vampire arrived and killed the remaining exorcist but had gotten injured as well.
Unfortunately for the surviving exorcist, the village was one of the many towns that the Order protects, in the end we captured the exorcist for conversion and interrogation, as for the vampire and the two wounded exorcist, I decided to turn resurrect them as part of my peerage.
Granted former members of the church didn't take it lightly that I turn them to devils but after explaining and fighting them for a week or so, they were able to accept it.
Seras Victoria Vladi, one of children of a high ranking vampire family and one of the very few vampires that respect the Dhampirs, she and a few others were informants for us before she got injured and turned.
In the end, they are the same as I remembered from the hellsing series, granted Walter is as young as he was during the world war but Seras is…actually I don't really know her actually age.
"Commander, apparently we got reports of fallen activity, apparently Kokabiel is planning something we think that your prediction are coming true." Seras says as she hands me the report
"Hmm….it seems my personal operation will begin soon….alright good work you two." I said as I decided to continue to check up on the new troops and my newest member of the peerage
-Some time later-
I walk in the training area to see 2 people training, one a boy about my age and a girl around 20 years old, they were fighting each other with their 'Kagune', the weapon ghoul have within their bodies.
The girl's Kagune took the form of a plumage of feathers that can shoot bullets which she uses to attack the guy while he has eight tentacle claws that provide him with muscular blades to cut or pierce foes which he is currently using to block the girl's attacks.
The moment I entered the area, they turn their attention to me as they started to attack me as I simply dodge their attacks.
"Do we have to do this now?" I ask as I dodge the bullets and the tentacles
After a few minutes of dodging, I decided it was time I had enough as I pull out my swords as I cut off their kagune as they shout in pain, as they use their Kakuja Kagune which was a type of armor which look like twin centipede-like tails protruding downwards from the guy's back while the girl's ones were a large, monstrous creature with growing into large spikes protruding from her back, large bird-like feet, and her mask develops four horns and has a single eye in the center with three markings on the left and right cheek and the forehead.
"I'm starting to lose my temper…..*sigh*, well it's about time for me to test out my new….abilities, prepare yourselves Ken Kankei, my Pawn and Eto, one of my most powerful soldiers." I said as my left eye's pupil turns red and the sclera black as i smile while cracking my fingers as my 12 tentacle claws grow out my back
"Come on, let's fight One-Eyed Ghouls…." I said as we charge at each other
-Flashback-
"Do you want to live?" I said to the extremely injured Kankei as my men captured all of Iscariot's men and the members of the 'evil' ghouls which was called Aogiri tree while we helped the peaceful ghouls
-Back to Present-
In the end, with my powers and the assistance of some of my soldiers, we were able to converse all of Iscariot's men and all the members of Aogiri into faithful members of the order while all the other remind ghouls were left alone as long as they didn't kill innocents as we would create artificial flesh for them to feed.
We were able to converse Eto, the One-Eyed Owl which was one of the most powerful ghouls in their species while Kankei was resurrected into my pawn after he was extremely injured, after I resurrected Kankei, I was able to absorb his ghoul abilities and with him, I was able to access the ghoul genes and when that happened I was able to access all of their powers which was the same for all the other powers I absorb from others.
After my quick fight with kankei and Eto, I decided to go visit my 2 knight which were training in my personal peerage training area.
When I entered, there was a girl with a katana in her hand while a guy has 2 swords.
I smile at their swordsmanship, the girl was Sora Himejima, she is the cousin of Akeno and is the wielder of Nobitsura Kage [shadow warrior series], the first true holy demonic sword. Sora has long black hair that reaches down to her knees, purple/red-ish eyes and is 5 feet 4 inches, she is my female knight and one of the many people I cherish dearly. (looks like kind of like akame from akame ga kill)
Sora is about my age and that she is a talented swordsman and is able to use magic quite well in correlation with her sword like lightning or fire. Unfortunately she was hated for the fact that when holding the Nobitsura Kage, she would have a demonic and holy aura around her and because of it the Himejimas attack her family and killed them granted they put up a fight but….in the end I was only able to save Sora. The Himejima family was wiped out by me after what they did to sora's family and akeno's family.
As for my Male Knight, I simply smile as he is someone I kind of liked in my old world, Kirito the Twin Blade Swordsman. He is an elf/human hybrid created by the scientist of the Khaos brigade like Gannon, Aurelia, Felicia and the others. He is an expert swordsman on par with my swordsmanship as well as being able to use the swords skill I teach like SAO's sword skills and absolute sword techniques among other things of course, he is also the wielder of the Holy Demonic Excalibur, one of the many swords we recreate with enhancements.
After checking up on them I hand the new mission kirito as I say hey to Sora.
'Everything is proceeding well…..it's about time I visit the family.' I thought smiling as I prepare to head home
-A few weeks later-
I was hidden in my home area as I walk around the halls wanting to see if I meet anyone.
I didn't see anyone other than the servants until I enter my old training area, there they are, my sister and her peerage training for some odd reason.
Koneko, Akeno, Kiba and finally my sister were using my old robots to help them train, so I decided to have fun as I snap my fingers as the robots immediately disable the robots and deactivate my stealth system as I change my attire to red color to differentiate between Desmond Gremory and the Black Swordsmen as I put one of my masks which was a duplicate of hei's mask from darker than black but it was completely white.
"Who are you what are you doing here?!" my sister shouted as the group turn their attention to me as I pull out a plain long sword as I charge at the group
My sister shoots out her power of destruction which I dodged easily as the attack was completely disappointing to me as it was so slow that I could have dodged in my sleep, and that her way of using the power of destruction is using up her stamina much faster since she focuses on power, you don't need to focus on power for something called the power of destruction.
She thinks power is everything and everything else doesn't matter, hopefully I could teach her that mindset is wrong before she fights riser but if not then it truly doesn't matter.
Kiba tries to intercept me as I charge at rias and akeno, but my speed was too quick for him.
Kiba tries to slash at me as I parry the attack easily as I use a palm strike at his chest area as he fells to the ground.
I see koneko charging at me as I block her punch with my free hand as I see the shock in her eyes as I throw her to kiba who was standing up.
I then used my sword to block the incoming lightning bolt as it absorbs the lightning, I fire the bolt right back at Akeno which caused her to lose her balance as I charge at Rias.
I could see real fear in her eyes as I swing my sword at her but of course I soon realized I was stopped by the forming ice around my feet as I turn to see Grayfia standing at the door of the training area glaring at me.
"Who are you and why are you attacking Miss Rias." She said as I can feel the icy cold glare she giving me as the ice around my legs started to move upward
I simply smile as I snap my fingers as Black fire burn the ice around my legs away as I can see the shock on Grayfia's face "Well of course I attack Rias's servants I had to see whether or not they were able to protect my sister." I said as I remove my mask and simply smile at all of them
"Onii-sama!" Rias shouted at me as she runs up to me and hug me while I return the hug
"It's been a long time hasn't it, My Cute Imouto." I said while smiling
After using Senjutsu to heal the wound i inflicted on the others, I told my story in front of my entire family including their servants on how I've been for the past 5 or so years, granted I kept out the most important like the Order, being a mercenary and others.
After that I had a chat with my sister and peerage on what they should improve after fighting me, I told Rias to concentrate on her stamina, Akeno to use more elemental attacks, koneko to improve on speed and kiba on his defenses.
After that I decided to leave my home once again as I meet up with one of my most trusted members of the Order.
-Some time later-
I was currently on top of the highest building in the world which was the Burj Khalifa in Dubai (Google) as I smoke a cigar, granted smoking is a bad habit but given my current status I think it's alright after all when you are going to die, you may as well do thinks you don't normally do just for the hell of it.
"Master, I wish you stopped smoking, it's bad for your health." Said one of my most trusted students and piece, Zacharial Orion one of my first pawns
Zacharial Orion, the oldest in laboratory that I found with Felicia all does years ago, the product of forcefully merging the D.N.A. of the original Lucifer and Gabriel.
His appearance is that of a 20 years old, he is 9 feet 1 inches, he has sky blue eyes which turns dark crimson red when he is either angry or uses his full power, he is kind to all his comrades and ruthless to his enemies which is kinda like me in a way.
He's situation is very similar to me in some ways, as he has a darkness that could potentially destroy himself and everything around him if he loses control of his powers. He is proficient with any type of weapons as he like some of my other protégés have trained with me in the Void thus learned a lot of its secrets.
"Hmph do you really think that smoking would kill me?...no if I am to die it's by the people I have chosen to defeat me if I am to ever become that Monster…." I said to him as I turn around to greet him
"It's been quite some time since I saw you and Adam, how has goes the mission with him?" I said as I continue smoking my cigar
"The construction of Arsenal Gear and the other Gears have been going well, it's Construction should be finished soon and with it completion marks our first military base in the human world." he said as I smile
"I see…..and Adam?" I said as Zach continues
"He is supervising well at the construction but tells me he is bored with his assignment." He said as I simply chuckles
"Well I expect as much when I gave him the project….tell him that when the war begins he will have plenty to do." I said as Zach nods
"Speaking on the progress of our projects, how goes that new sacred gear, is it treating you well?" I said as he hands me a report and his own summary
The artificial sacred gear we create, The Multiple-Seeker, A Grey colored watch with an hourglass with an X mark, its uses are that it can copy any other Sacred Gear by absorbing their data, theoretically it could gain the abilities of ever known gear we have.
"I see….so that gear is working perfectly yes?" I ask as I look through the report
"Yes commander, I was able to copy the abilities of Twilight Healing, Twice Critical, Blade Blacksmith and Sword Birth." Zach said as I simply smile
"So, I was truly able to transfer my absorption ability to other huh…." I said softly as I continue
"How does the underworld think of Vergil Deucalion?" I said to Zach as he smile as he gives me a full report on the matter
Vergil Deucalion, the Demon Emperor and the Champion of the Rating Games, one of my many personas. I took the seat of the 1st place in the ranking games when I first enter about 3 years ago, back then I didn't have a full peerage but it was more than enough to destroy anyone in our path.
With me in my Deucalion armor, me and my peerage with their features hidden had easily destroy our enemies with only one member of my peerage being needed to defeat an enemy in the rating game.
Deucalion very rarely fought in the Rating games but when he did….well he completely dominated the area.
-Flashback-
"Deucalion! We challenge you to fight as the pride of a devil and a king demands you to!" A no named king shouted to me and my peerage as we fought in the rating game, he apparently hired 3 other peerage to help him fight apparently the 3 peerage were ones I defeat already
"I see….you want a fight then…..in that case…" I said with a big booming voice as I tell my 'servants' to retire as I left from my location as I started to walk slowly to the 4 peerages
"Ha you fool! Servants attack!" the leader and the guy I was supposed to be fighting in the first place before he was able to illegal get 3 other peerages into this battle, they had planned to kick them out of the match but I said that I didn't mind
Half of their servants all charged at me while the other half used magical attacks, I simply pull out King slayer as I set its powers to demonic as I couldn't reveal the powers of the holy demonic yet.
The moment they all tried to hit me, I simply just walk past them as they all fell to the ground as I snap my fingers as they are engulf in black flames, what I did was simply in that I used strong Senjutsu to paralyzed them and used black flames to retire them quickly.
I could see the shock on their faces as I smile devilishly as their remaining servants launches a barrages of magic spells as I simply use my sword to block or deflect the attacks, after getting about 10 feet away from the remaining enemies I decided to end it quick as I fire black lightning at the remaining servants causing them to retire.
At this point the kings were shaking in fear at my display of powers as I laugh at them "Is this truly all you 4 'kings' have to offer? This is truly the epitome of all nobles who truly think that they are invincible and that no one could defeat them." I said to them and everyone watching as I started walking toward them quicker as I continue
"This is one of many reasons why I enter into the rating games, I will teach all of you that powers is not gained through blood lines but through hard work and that the weak will always defeat the strong if they put their heart to it." I said as I charge at the 4 kings as I simply swing my sword at the 4 which causes blood to gush out of the slash area as they retire
Sometime after that match I had granted quite a following after my declaration on my views, and now my climb to the top, it was only a matter of time before I faced the emperor, Diehauser Belial.
My peerage against his peerage was quite a battle, my piece knew that no matter what they should never reveal their true powers or anything that could be used to identify them and that rule was reinforced for my pieces that were not Humans that were reincarnated into devils.
Out of all the fights during that match, I'm sure that Adam's fight was the most….flashiest, but of course he is Revolver Ocelot albeit it's the ocelot from metal gear solid 3, the younger, not as wise and much more flasher ocelot. Everything about him is the same as he was from MGS except that instead of being the commander of the Ocelot Unit, he was part of Iscariot's top forces being as the wingman for Walter and the FOX which was Gray fox as well but he wasn't part of my peerage.
His skill with revolvers are the same if not better than in the MGS series as he like many of my male peerage members and protégés have trained with me in the void thus picking up a few unique techniques as well as I was able to recreate The Colt from the supernatural series, the weapon that could kill any supernatural creature, it is more or less the same as from the series but after mixing it's properties with that of god slaying weapons, it could kill gods after all we did test it on god granted we didn't kill him in one shot but the second bullet would have, I had given The Colt to Adam as a means to kill me if the monster is to awaken and other evil beings if my peerage were to be the best of the best in the Order.
In the end, my peerage was more than able to defeat his, and with our pride we both had a duel just between us.
We had a lengthy duel with swords and magic but in the end I was able to beat him but not before showing him and the world my trump card that I had collected for the past 6 thousand years, The Power of the Demon, the ability to use every known devil magic from the original satans to the 72 pillar clans, From Bael's power of destruction to Phenex's flames to Sitri's water and ice, I can control them all, and all at once.
Granted even though I showed one of my trumps, I didn't use it as I respect Diehauser even after he betrays the people for the Khaos, in the end I won the fight as I give Diehauser an honorable defeat.
I was a subject of hot topic after revealing my trump card, all wonder who I was, many thought I was an original Satan, Most thought that I was a super devil, other thought that I was genetically created but one thing was definitely true, I and my peerage was extremely powerful.
-Back to Present-
I smoke my cigar once more as I look over the world.
"Zach, let me ask you a question…*smoke*….if you were destine to destroy the world and its people….*smoke*…..what would you do to stop it? Would you kill yourself to ensure the survival of the world or what you create something to do it for you?" I said to Zach, one of my most trusted comrades and one of the few who traveled with me through time
"Hmm….i guess the second opinion would be the best choice after all there is no worth killing yourself for even if you knew you would destroy the world but if you create something or someone to do it for you, you may for solace in that someone will follow your footstep after your death." He said to me seriously as I simply laugh
"An expect answer from you I guess….*smoke*…ahh….. You, Azrael, Black phoenix and several others….will be ones who will lead the order after I'm gone…." I said as I look to the night sky
"We will find a Cure for you commander, you who have saved so much deserved to die a hero not a monster." Zach said as I chuckle
"I'm no hero, I'm a monster no matter how you look at it…I will die knowing that I leave the order to help complete my life's work…..hehehe…funny if you think about it….*smoke*….this all started with a promise to my sister, O so long ago…..and now all I have to do is to destroy Khaos and die….and my long journey will end….and I will reunite with my family…." I said as a single tear leave my eye
'I truly wonder…did you wanted this, my dear little sister?' I thought as as I turn to face Zach
"Orion, our war with the Khaos is soon upon us, you and all the others have your orders….it's time for the awakening of the True Crimson Cardinal Dragon Overlord." I said as I smile while I use black fire to destroy the cigar
"Of course, master." Zach said while bowing to me as he teleported back to base
'Issei Hyoudou….my most trusted Comrade….soon you will remember everything…..' I thought as I smile at the night sky
'Soon….your resurrection will begin…..my Black Phoenix…'
