Albion observes his new partner from within Divine Dividing with unhidden curiosity and interest. In his long life, Albion has many shares of unique partners, from the clone, the girl, and half-satan.
There is many more but you get the point
All he thinks that Vali is will be his most unique partner in a long time because of how often he can get Half-Human Lucifer Grandson with revenge issues? Sure his clone partner, Syaoran if he remembers correctly, is also unique but the chance of getting a partner similar to Vali again is so small to the point non-existence
The fact that his Sacred Gear was forcefully taken…no, just manifested from a record was also a unique experience.
At first, he freaks out because thinking he is a copy of the original and all the memory merely inherited, so basically a clone but his new partner, Ritsuka Fujimaru, strongly suggest that he is not a copy but a manifested data, with an argument that if he is a copy there will be someone identical to him out there in Multiverse which Ritsuka denied because he just manifests 1 Divine Dividing.
From that moment he was already a unique individual
So that means there is only 1 of him.
Frankly speaking, it was a really weak argument. Albion have many counter-argument for that but in the end decide to accept it, after all, he can sense some panic in Ritsuka voice even if he trying to cover it with a good laugh
It was as if Ritsuka didn't want to think about it or just realized the implication of manifesting living being, he was just like someone who playing with a new toy only to realize that his new toy was not as safe as he think.
Albion feel if he pushed about the issues too far Ritsuka mind will be crushed by guilt
Now he kinda understands the feeling of Syaoran many years ago
Putting his existential crisis aside…his gut feeling is spot on.
Ritsuka just received his power, from some being referred as ROB, he was new to its wonder, it can be said Ritsuka didn't think the implication of manifesting living beings until Albion short mental breakdown…not that Albion will admit it
Frankly speaking, with his new power, Ritsuka can be likened to a kid holding a nuclear switch thinking it only makes some cute sound when pressed, when with each press, a city is wiped from the map for at least a hundred years
Sure it was dangerous…scratch that it was freaking ridiculously dangerous!
How can there be some 'Entity' out there that can give such bullshit power for some decent laughs?! That is irresponsible! And here he thought Biblical God giving Longinus Sacred Gear, God Killing weapon, to normal human ridiculous.
Albion mind conveniently decide to ignore the fact that there is an 'Entity' out there that is capable of giving ridiculous bullshit power in exchange for entertainment, laugh, and giggles
Putting all the above concerns aside…there is also the mystery of how he knows about his world, Nasuverse, even though before given ability by ROB he never leaves his world.
It was contradictory, after all, his knowledge was based on the media…something that only can be got if he is not from around here
Maybe Ritsuka is an outsider? A reincarnated person? No, the fact that he is an outsider of Nasuverse was a fact, his knowledge about the 'Record' about his own world is glaring proof but what kind is the question?
Is he a spy from another reality? A higher being trying to recover its power? Or just poor old unlucky person that dragged into the mess?
Maybe just maybe Albion is thinking too much, after all, the chance it was the first and second scenario was low if Ritsuka interaction with that bloodsucker to be believed
That bloodsucker is another bullshit entirely, Albion mind refuses to categorize that bloodsucker as a vampire. A vampire in his supposed homeworld was prideful and weak, which to be fair everything is weak if compared to Dragon, but that bloodsucker…
He only feel that chilling sensation once in his prime and it was when staring at the Infinite Dragon God to its faces…which is definitely Ddraig fault!
Shit, the Highschool DxD Light Novel is leaving him more paranoid than it should be… it was supposed to portray his homeworld as a light-hearted Harem Comedy world but each world-shaking revelation made his survival instinct go into overdrive.
He cannot enjoy it at all!
Thought seeing the world from another perspective, mostly former human(Issei) perspective, was interesting experiences
There is also the fact Great Red, the strongest entity in Draconic Deus, his supposed homeworld, will be killed so easily! It was Great Red! An entity that even when he is at his prime, can only resign that he will never catch up to its level!
Albion shuddered, once more reminded that in the vastness of Multiverse he is insignificant…it was a feeling of weakness that he didn't feel since regarded as Heavenly Dragon
Well, one thing is for sure it was a secret that Ritsuka guard closely to the chest. Though he's kinda terrible at guarding it. If he really wants to guard it he should never show familiarity with his own world media.
Thought to be fair this is only something that you can see if you are with him 24 hours non-stop
Maybe he was careless? Or did he trust him that much? Albion didn't know
Albion sighed for him to know about his host secret was normal because they are partners since birth but Ritsuka is unique because he didn't accompany him since birth
Should he reveal to his partner that he knows about his secret?
Nah, let's not do that
His partner will tell him when he feels comfortable about it…after all, even with his unknown origin, Albion can conclude that he was a trustworthy person.
For now, Albion decided to distract himself. After all, years since finally since he was imprisoned inside Sacred Gear, finally there is another entertainment other than napping and observing his host's daily life!
Truly, the internet is really addicting!
The fact that he can search for information about his daughter was another plus!
Omake:
"So let me get this fact straight" Gudako raises her hand, holding her head as if didn't believe what she just hear "You have evil twin running around that controlling Dragon…because why not?!"
"It's more complicated than that master but that certainly covers all the basic" Mash added helpfully
Jeanne's smiling face twitched slightly at Gudako response... it's not that she wants this situation to happen okay!?
In fact she just recently died in the stake only to suddenly find herself in the forest without any information, her power halved, wyvern flocks populating the sky, and any attempt going to human settlement always been met with hysteric fear!
If not for her Revelation skill, she will not know why they are afraid of her!
It was only thanks to her luck she meet with Gudako, noticing that her outfit is didn't belong to the current era!
Jeanne didn't know but this is Telos Karma passive at work.
Currently, they are making a camp in the middle of the forest, close enough to a city but not close enough to be seen by patrolling French soldiers. It was a good thing there is Leyline nearby, with that Gudako managed to form communication with Chaldea
Why didn't they just go to human settlement?
Long story short by the time they finished with the flocks of wyverns its already dark, and Gudako attempted to talk in English with the French soldier(Hey don't blame her! In the future, it was international language!) turn them into trigger happy attack mode.
Turn out it was bad to speak the English language in a country that was in the middle war against it…Jeanne presence didn't help because there someone with the same face is running around and destroying the country(she can't transform into spirit form)
In Gudako defense they didn't write any of that in the history book…and rant about how useless is the English language because it's not allowing her to establish communication in time travel journey to save the world proving the fact that it was useless to learn it
The staff in the mission control room can only smile wryly at Gudako rant
"Anyway, that means we are going to fight many Dragon-related enemies right?" Gudako asked for confirmation while patting Canis Lykaon, she already have an idea in mind to deal with the dragons attributed monster
Mash nodded "Correct master, according to Jeanne, the evil Jeanne have a skill that is capable of controlling Dragons"
"It will be quite hard if it just us, we at least need a Dragon Slaying servant for help if today wyverns flock is any indication" Dr. Roman suggested from the comm "with the amounts wyverns around, and the fact the suspected source of singularity is controlling a real dragon, there should be Dragon Slaying servant summoned somewhere in this country as a response against that"
"That means we have to search and make alliances with them Master" Mash quipped
"Sure let's go with that, you guys are the expert" Gudako nodded in understanding because while she is a field operative but it doesn't change the fact that she is a newbie to the supernatural "For now until we met them, lets me try my Anti-Dragon plan"
In the depth of Gudako soul…Annihilation Maker twitched
…
…
…
"HAHAHAHA! FAIRY IS IMMUNE AND SUPER-EFFECTIVE AGAINST DRAGON TYPE!" Gudako laughed maniacally "Slyveon, use Disarming Voice!"
The flocks of wyvern shredded to pieces, they got no chance. Their claw, fang, and breath doesn't work the slightest against Slyveon.
It was not a battle. It was a one-sided slaughter
Meanwhile, everyone else can only gape seeing the spectacle…
