"Speech"

Time*

Arc 3 - Chapter 7

"Nope." I replied calmly. "Now, we should begin." I remind Serafall that she will have to pick out good work for Sona to do. "It has to be something that Sona finds it's worth making a 120% effort in and know it would be something praise worthing the moment she completes the job."

"And what do you suppose I should give her?" Serafall didn't have a clue as to what would make her sweet So-tan want to work on.

"I don't know. I'm not a devil and have no idea what you devils do these days other than trying to find a way to recruit others into their peerages." I shrug my shoulders, not the least caring about what Serafall has to assign a job to Sona to do.

"You're supposed to help me with this." Serafall points this out while narrowing her eyes at this bastard for lazing around on the job.

"Yeah, but I can't do everything. If I knew exactly all the jobs, you devils do. Then, you guys need to work more on awareness or something if people knew everything you devils do daily." I shook my head that Serafall would want me to pick a job for Sona. "But, if you truly need help with something like this. Well, give your little sister a job related to management to help her gain experience and be ready for if her dream comes true." I thought up something real quick for Serafall before she blew a fuse with how she glared at me while causing the surrounding temperature to lower.

"That's right! I can job Sona-chan something related to management!" Serafall didn't bother to wait and teleport away.

"I wonder if Serafall would remember her current appearance. Eh, I'm sure she will do fine." I mumble to myself. "Now, what should I do next?" I glance around the place. "Eh, I'm sure Kuroka is up for some sex." I decide to have sex to pass the time.

A few hours later*

"And now I'm bored." I mumble to myself as I lay on the couch. As the bed is stained with Kuroka and my fluids. So, I decided to relocate to the sofa after sending Kuroka off as I didn't need her anymore.

"Help me beat Baka Red."

"Fucking hell!" I jump out of bed, then have Chariot Requiem summon and ready to strike down the person in the room. Then, I sweatdrop once I realize who the person is.

A cute young girl with long black hair down to her hips and black eyes. Her ears differ from a normal human's as they have pointed tips, although her long black hair makes this feature difficult to notice. Her black eyes have reptilian-slitted pupils. Her attire consists of a black gothic lolita fashion. This is Ophis, also known as the Ouroboros Dragon and the Infinite Dragon God. The leader of the Khaos Brigade aims to get rid of Great Red and return to the Dimensional Gap to obtain silence.

"Help me beat Baka Red." Ophis repeat herself in a monotone.

"Nah, I'm good." I wasn't dumb to fight something that could crush me before I could use everything I had at the start of the battle. Not even if I use The World Over Heaven since Great Red in this world might have a way to bypass this powerful Stand or just attack straight at me instead of aiming the Stand. That's what I would do.

"Help me beat Baka Red." Ophis repeats herself once more in a monotone, but this time with an edge.

"Yeah. No." I create a wormhole underneath Ophis, causing her to fall through it, and send Ophis to the North Pole, where I know she won't have any trouble surviving. "Now, time for me to go." I got Grimoire Weiss to use The World to stop time as I get out of here. As Ophis is bound to appear here soon.

A week later*

"Where the heaven have you been to?" Serafall demands as she looks at the bastard who has been gone for an entire week and finally comes back to this abandoned church, which triggers a few of her Magic Circles to let her know someone came here. Lucky for her, the bastard appears instead of someone else, like a stray devil from yesterday, which she killed off.

"Been on the run for the entire week and finally come up with something to escape." I said tiredly, where I had finally escaped from Ophis and her trying to force me to fight Great Red. Something I didn't want to do at all, and this world's Ophis is much stronger than I expected because, for one thing. I did not expect her to move while The World had stopped time itself when others couldn't, then again, with Ophis being the 2nd strongest in the existence of this world. I shouldn't be that surprised.

"Who was chasing you?" Serafall asks out of curiosity and wonders if it's a fellow female. Serafall wouldn't be surprised if that were the case with the bastard being a pervert.

"Ophis, the Infinite Dragon God." I summon Chariot Requiem and Gold Experience Requiem, where both Requiem Stands got to work and pushed my body to recover to its peak, which didn't even take a few seconds before I'm back in peak condition again; well, almost. "Yeah, it took me some effort, but I finally got away from Ophis without allowing her to detect me." I stare at the shocked Serafall.

Boy, was I glad to remember I have access to the Dragon language from Skyrim as that's what saved me from Ophis, who was planning to mind control me, or that is what I could tell with the way she continues to throw her snakes at me. Nevertheless, going the coward's route is fine with me as I rather not be part of whatever foolish thing Ophis come up with. I'm crazy, not stupid. Okay, maybe stupid as well with me trying to come up with many methods to get back at Chris, who is most likely to be a goddess.

Dismissing the Requiem Stands. I got comfortable in my seat while waiting for Serafall to snap out of her trance.

Now that I've calmed down and had the time to stay in one spot for longer than a minute. I started planning what I should do next to get some payback with Ophis for making me waste so much time and causing me lose progress with Serafall, but I dismissed that idea since I'm no match for Ophis, where she hasn't lost her power yet. If that wasn't enough. I've discovered that Kuroka has been talking about me lately, leading to Ophis finding out about me. Therefore, I no longer summon Kuroka, nor will I plan to in the future.

Though I will miss not being able to have sex with Kuroka, but better to be alive than not having sex with a catgirl. And I'm no lolicon, so Kuroka's little sister, Koneko Toujou aka real name: Shirone Toujou, who is a petite girl is off my radar. As even Hime has a better figure than Koneko in my eyes and looks older than a little girl. So, it's time for me to stop messing around with other girls since I had more problems than I did in the first few days of entering this world.

After thinking about it, it will be foolish of me not to grab anything else from this world that wasn't deemed overpowered like the 4 former Sacred Gears I've obtained. Furthermore, even if I did gain Senjutsu, it might not be that powerful in some worlds, like with my Requiem Stands and Magical Items. Therefore, it's best for me to keep seeking out what I need and what I could use later in an emergency.

"Well, later. Nice seeing you again, Serafall." I said to Serafall, who snapped out of her trance and looked at me in alarm. Where she reached out with her right hand toward me, but I was already moving off and becoming invisible with the help of Domain Control and Senjutsu—preventing Serafall from sensing me and being able to locate me with her eyes.

Afterward, my physical speed that has been enhanced massively with the Fox Mask, Domain Control, and Senjutsu. I ran out of the abandoned church instead of teleporting away. Since I figure out that Ophis could track me down whenever I teleport and stop time. The latter wasn't working and turned me into a huge beacon for Ophis to track me down. So, I try my best not to use The World as much as possible. Same with the former unless I use it repeatedly to prevent Ophis from locking onto my position down.

Meanwhile, I use Telos Karma to prevent Ophis from having a small chance of finding me accidentally. Something I realized on the 2nd day was that she would always somehow find me through luck, and I checked if there were some tracking marks on my person, but there was nothing; therefore, it was plain luck, and so it's fortunate for me I got the Telos Karma early on and merging it with the Omnifabrication made it possible to prevent Ophis from finding me too fast.

However, this won't last that long. Ophis' luck would overcome the Telos Karma in time, forcing me to reactivate it to make it work again after Omnifabrication does the job of changing the methods of using the former Sacred Gear's power in my favor.

A week later*

Currently, I'm stalking a beautiful girl with a foreign face, with a beautiful and fluffy face, auburn hair, which appeared to be braided with rope, and blue eyes.

As to why I'm stalking such a random person. Well, this random girl is Meredith Ordinton. The current wielder of the future newly discovered 5 Longinus, the Alpheca Tyrant. The reason why it became one of the 5 newly discovered Longinus is due to its ability to attack with nail-like objects made of Holy Aura and can be used to rewrite the concepts of those who were struck by the nail made of Holy Aura, which even affects Sacred Gear users, including other Longinus possessors.

Furthermore, due to being a Holy Relic, the holy nail-shaped aura created by Alphecca Tyrant is very powerful against evil creatures such as devils and vampires, destroying them if they take a direct hit from the Holy Nails. The nails can also be used to destroy others' magic or cancel out others' attacks.

Initially, this Sacred Gear had the ability to be able to attack with a nail-like object made of Holy Aura and also to be able to brainwash opponents by making a group of people listen to a conversation for several minutes with a particular fixed keyword inserted in it; it was only limited to human beings.

Yet, it changed the moment Meredith is born with this Sacred Gear. Something I honestly don't need due to having Book of the End and upgraded Grimoire Weiss to create either or both The World Over Heaven and Star Platinum Over Heaven, that can overwrite reality. But, again, I need something I could rely on in case most of my Magical Items and Requiem Stands are suppressed.

So, this Sacred Gear: Alphecca Tyrant is the best backup for me to rely on whenever I come into those situations in the future. Furthermore, it is a Sacred Gear that could easily merge into the Crown Clown without much problem with both having matching types.

Right now, I'm watching over Meredith, who is currently walking somewhere I have no idea, and it took me some time to locate her once I rechecked the list of Longinus for me to grab. She is something that won't be revealed in the Highschool DxD series until the True Volume 4.

That's about a year or so before I could rely on canon to find her if I didn't have Telos Karma to make it possible for me to find Meredith in a single week.

I would have made it longer or less than a week, but I want to enjoy visiting London for a bit before leaving. Nevertheless, the Alphecca Tyrant is just one of the many I'm aiming to take after realizing how foolish I was with just being fine with just 4 former Sacred Gears and should have aimed for more.

Quietly, I made sure to stay within a good few feet away from Meredith while at the same time making sure she didn't detect me. I'm very tempted to just steal her Sacred Gear right now, even in public, but that would lead to drawing more attention to myself when I've enough already, thanks to people discovering that the Ophis is hunting me down and leaking out that I can face Great Red. This just opens a can of worm that I didn't even want to open at all, but someone would open it for me—making my stay in the Highschool DxD world a bit hard. Since I can't move so openly compared to before, nor could I do whatever I truly wanted without risking exposing myself to the public eye.

Just as I was about to risk it and grab Meredith, she went into an unknown shop that looked worn down, but I could guess it must be some shop for magicians, which Meredith is one as well. Yet, this became a problem for me because I can't enter the place with many potential unknown traps in the shop that would alarm Meredith somehow, which may or may not lead to her escaping me.

So, I have Omnifabrication reactivate the Telos Karma so Meredith will come out of the shop soon and from the front entry she used just now soon instead of staying inside the shop for who knows how long. Afterward, I walk somewhere not too far away from the shop Meredith. Yet, close enough for me to keep an eye on the entrance while being hidden in plain view.

Then reuse Omnifabrication once again, reactivating Telos Karma. Still, this time, to make it so Meredith will walk into a back alley behind me while placing up a barrier to prevent others from entering, but me without her realizing it, and stay there to do some training or whatever.

A few minutes later*

I quietly wait for Meredith to enter the back alley while at the same time looking for those that are watching Meredith's movements. Sadly, I couldn't find them; there were too many people for me to find out who was watching who. Therefore, the moment I watch Meredith exit the shop and enter the back alley behind me.

I'd gone invisible and followed right behind her, making sure not to make any noises to cause Meredith to notice me.

Once both of us enter the back alley, I throw a Spell Shard behind me, where it creates an illusion over the back alley, making those that are watching Meredith see her pausing in her steps for a moment and head back out the back alley, to sit in the same spot I was sitting and blankly stare into space.

I could do better, but I'm on a tight schedule. So, the moment the Spell Shard took effect. I move up to Meredith, then knock her out cold with a chop to the back of her neck. Afterward, I carefully place her down on the ground, then activate Omnifabrication to remove the Sacred Gear; whatever is powering the Sacred Gear, and merge it with Crown Clown while keeping its ability that made it into the same rank as a Longinus.

The process took a few minutes, with me having Crown Clown activated, and by the time it's done. The Crown Clown now has the Longinus version of Alphecca Tyrant.

I tested it out by creating a nail made of innocence energy, where I'm now holding a nail in my right hand that's glowing white, and I can say for sure. This is an actual Holy Nail with the ability of the mind to control and rewrite the concept of whatever is struck by this Holy Nail.

Once I got what I wanted. I deactivate the Crown Clown, causing the Holy Nail to disappear along with the Innocence. Then, I pick Meredith up and quickly rush out of the back alley, where I place her exactly on the same spot her illusion is at the moment and put her into a position where she falls asleep for no reason. Of course, people will start asking questions when they learn that Meredith's Sacred Gear changes out of the blue. I learned from experience that all Sacred Gears would transform to match whatever the user needs to help them survive, even without the souls or whatever power the Sacred Gear has.

So, the moment I got Meredith in her sleeping position. I quickly ran off, not bothering to teleport because Ophis was still out there, somewhere in the world, hunting me down without any rest. This means that I have to get away from the area the old fashion way, aka using my own damn legs to run instead of relying on supernatural transportation methods. It's a good thing I haven't gotten used to Dimensional Travel and The World, so it became weird for me not to use them.

However, I can use the same method to come to London. I won't mind taking another ride in the first-class airplane again. It was a nice relaxing trip. Plus, having Telos Karma made things so much easier for me. Even though Ophis are hunting me down, the power of plot armor is beneficial.

5 days later*

It took some time, not that I was planning to rush back to Kuoh Town as I wanted to enjoy the trip back from England. And as to why I came back to Kuoh Town instead of heading to other places to hunt down my targets; well, it's because I just realized that instead of hunting them down. I'll make them come to me via Telos Karma.

Not to mention that the main characters have already left for the Underworld, so volume 5 of Highschool DxD has started. It makes it much easier for me to move in Kuoh Town compared to other places worldwide. Though I have to be careful of any unknown methods Rias and Sona, including their older sibling, would learn about my presence in town.

Currently, I'm just walking in a random unknown street, where I find many shops that weren't shown in the series—at the same time, thinking about who I should bring to me first since I got a good few months before the Rias' group return. No idea about Sona, but I'm sure she won't be back anytime soon either. It gives me enough time to grab all the Sacred Gears or objects I have my eyes on.

Ironically enough, I have realized this at this point. I have done more to my Crown Clown than my Noah Form towards holy, weirdly enough. So far, the Crown Clown has Alphecca Tyrant and Blade Blacksmith. The latter is something I found accidentally; more like I have Telos Karma helps me find one, and it was a random person who isn't part of the supernatural world. Therefore, I took the power of the Blade Blacksmith from that person and merged it into the Crown Clown just yesterday at the airport.

While my Noah Form has Sword Birth, this is something I just got today, an hour ago, to be precise, as I got it from a kid at the park. This made me wonder if Sacred Gears that are not Longinus or above average would have many copies. Because I know that Blade Blacksmith and Sword Birth have their own users already, Yuuto somehow got Blade Blacksmith as well, and this meant more than one wielder of the same Sacred Gear, or God had created more than one specific Sacred Gears.

So, my Noah Form is short of one Sacred Gear that leans towards demonic—ignoring Albion and Ddraig since they are not considered either. Yet, I discovered there weren't many Sacred Gears I wanted that lean towards demonic or merge with my Noah Form. It made me wonder if I should take on the path of holiness since in most of those novels I have read in the past, where most of the people on the holy side, aka the good side, would sometimes be corrupted in some way and brainwashed people or just plain out the bad guy in the stories.

I guess having more holy abilities won't make me feel uncomfortable, nor does it make me have the urge to be a hero and all that nonsense. Though, if I need any other good reason why I don't think I consider holy as the absolute greater good is by looking at Freed in this world. He is batshit crazy, but not at the same level as me and out of control.

Be very awkward if people in my previous life knew that I was turning myself into a holy man. Nonetheless, powers come with prices, which I am almost willing to take depending on said powers.

"Excuse me, Sir." I heard a female voice from my right, where I see a maid. Luckily for me, it wasn't Grayfia Lucifuge because I had no idea if I could take her on. Hell, even Serafall is not someone I could take on either, even with my curse placed on her to make her unable to catch me. Killing, on the other hand, is an entirely different story. Making me extra cautious with Serafall even though I don't show it. But, I should be able to kill her and Grayfia.

Back to the topic on hand, aka the maid, who I have no idea of and must be an extra in this world, meaning she is someone with a fateless life compared to the essential characters of this world, where they are fated to be beloved and cursed at the same time to be forced to go on a path of the plot. Something that's proven twice with this world and the Princess Resurrection world.

"Would you like to try our today's special?" The maid handed me a flyer, where their restaurant's central theme is having their workers dressed as maids, and today they are promoting the newest items on the menu, that's both food and service to go with said food.

"Alright, I got nothing much to do at the moment." I might as well enjoy myself; maybe having something to eat and enjoying some of the services provided by this maid shop would help me figure out which targets I want to come to in Kuoh Town first.
