Arc 3 - Chapter 8

3 days later*

I was disappointed when I rechecked my list of other Sacred Gears to obtain and realized that I pretty much got almost all the ones I wanted. Almost due to some of the Sacred Gears I wanted are not canon, after my past self checking the list, I realized fans make up those Sacred Gears. Not the author of the Highschool DxD. So, that made it awkward for me because even if I wanted to use Telos Karma to make them appear in this world. I rather not find out the prices of doing so. Even with the help of Omnifabrication to prevent such things from occurring. There will still be a price for it.

Nonetheless, I better be happy with what I got already and stop biting off more than I could chew.

So, with that out of the way and no longer having to be concerned about the 'how' and 'why' to get these people to come to Kuoh Town for me to steal their main powers and now for me to resume once again my usual route of making sure my Senjutsu continue to stay up to prevent Truck-kun from finding me. Also, keep reusing the Telos Karma to stop Ophis from locating me.

I could have done lots of things with Telos Karma, but its main focus at this point is, and still is, to prevent Ophis from locating me. Weirdly enough, I could use the Telos Karma to prevent Ophis from mind-controlling me. But that's plain impossible for me at the moment since Ophis could overwrite the effects of the Telos Karma in time.

Therefore, I decided to take this chance to relax a bit and plan things out before leaving this world for another. Even if I have the means to return to this world via Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap's Dimension Hop, this also means I can return to that fantasy world and get back at Chris. Darkness, eh? I'll think about it for a bit more if I should get her back or not.

"Now, what to do now?" I mumble my thoughts out loud, where I got nothing much I could do in this world after obtaining all I could think of and rethinking it more than once too.

There was no point in me having to stay here now I think about it. Nor do I have anyone I want to bring with me from this world. Not that I don't want to, but that I was planning to find some female characters of this world to take with me is no longer an option, and using Book of the End on these females would make things complicated later on. Plus, now that I think about it. I have no idea what would happen if I brought someone from one world to another. I know I'm fine since this is my third world. Others? I have no idea.

Rubbing my chin as I continue to walk around randomly without any destination. I start to think hard about what else I may be missing before I leave this world.

Holy Swords? I don't need thanks to Blade Blacksmith and I have Omnifabrication to make it even better. Demonic Swords? Same with Holy Swords. Powers from the devil faction? I got some Magical Items that could do the same or even better than the powers of those devil clans.

Overall, I don't think I have anything else to stay in this world other than having sex with most of the female characters in this world. Something I won't mind doing, but safety and living before pleasure.

Though, I have to plan things out if Truck-kun somehow chases after me in the next world, same with Ophis. Since she can freely enter the mortal realm and into the Dimensional Gap. So, traveling to another world shouldn't be a problem for someone like Ophis.

Thinking about this, I might need to come up with something that makes Ophis think I'm still in this world while I'm not.

"Help me beat Baka Red." Ophis said in a monotone, with a few snakes already surrounding her target, whom she had been hunting down for a long time. Something that annoys her greatly.

"And I said no." I replied in the same monotone while having Grimoire Weiss prepare to use Dragon Shouts to stop Ophis for a few seconds for me to get a head start to escape.

"I will have my silence." Ophis narrowed her eyes, releasing her Dragonic God Aura. This leads to the entire Kuoh Town shaking like an earthquake.

"Gold Experience Requiem!" I summon my Requiem Stand while using Domain Control: Binding to keep me in balance with the ground as it continues to shake, cracks are already forming, and some buildings have collapsed.

"MUDA! MUDA! MUDA! MUDA! MUDA!" Gold Experience Requiem shouted as it punched the snakes around its user, preventing them from coming any closer while at the same time landing a few kicks onto the ground with the power: Return to Zero to revert actions and willpower to the state of "zero", completely nullifying them and preventing them from becoming "real". Therefore, stopping Ophis from collapsing the ground around Gold Experience Requiem's user.

Ophis narrows her eyes at the golden being summoned by the person she needs to defeat Great Red. So, seeing this golden being destroying her snakes made it more critical for her to gain control over this person with strange powers. Not to mention, she can sense this person is a master of Senjutsu and a human.

"Dark Gluttony!" I have Grimoire Weiss cast one of the Sealed Verses, forming multiple Magical Barriers around me, which repel any magic in the proximity, along with the ability to harm enemy, aka Ophis near me. Pushing the Infinite Dragon God away from me.

Gold Experience Requiem grab a few pebbles on the ground, then flick them at Ophis at high speed, but Ophis block them with her Dragonic God Aura. However, this was fine since Gold Experience Requiem knew its user only required some time to prepare for the next of his actions. So it shall do its best to give its user more time he needs by firing off more pebbles, not daring to go near the Infinite Dragon God due to having the knowledge from its user that anything could be possible with Ophis. Even the power to destroy a Requiem Stand might be possible for the Infinite Dragon God. Therefore, better to fight at a long distance than to go up close to fight with the opponent. Not to mention, whatever hurt Gold Experience Requiem would also hurt its user. Making it more important to fight at a long distance.

I pour more mana into the Sealed Verse: Dark Gluttony to create multiple giant red orbs that would ravage through all enemies, knocking them back if possess strong defense and destroying all projectiles. Therefore, pushing Ophis even further away from me due to her having an extremely powerful defense. So using Dark Gluttony won't do much to Ophis other than pushing her away to give me some time.

Next, I have Grimoire Weiss use the Sealed Verse: Dark Phantasm and use 20% of my mana reserve because this Sealed Verse possesses high armor break capability. Something I need at the moment, and the moment the Grimoire Weiss fired off the last giant red orb. Ophis came right back at me instantly. She was punched in the face by an otherworldly crimson facsimile of myself, causing a loud crack in the entire surrounding before sending Ophis off, flying a mile away from me. Afterward, the Dark Phantasm ended, causing the otherworldly crimson facsimile of myself to disappear after it had done its job.

"Joor Zah Frul (Mortal Finite Temporary)!" I use the Dragon Shout: Dragonrend on Ophis the moment she appears in front of me just a few seconds after I blasted her away with Dark Phantasm while instantly destroying all my Magical Barriers.

The Dragon Shout: Dragonrend is a shout forcing the targeted dragon to understand the meaning of mortality, something so utterly incomprehensible to an immortal dragon that the knowledge tears at their very soul, breaking their concentration enough so they cannot focus on flying or in Ophis' case. She can't use magic to float or fly. Also, making it so Ophis is now killable temporarily too.

Going by the sound of Ophis screaming in absolute pain, I can say having one's soul being torn wasn't something I wanted to experience at all. So, I prepared to use another Dragon Shout that should weaken her even further, but before I could. Ophis disappears from my sight and goes by what Gold Experience Requiem tells me. Ophis is no longer within Kuoh Town. Therefore, she must have retreated right away the moment she felt the danger of her dying or so.

"Oh, thank goodness she ran away instead of continuing to fight." I thought aloud that I have Gold Experience Requiem dismissed since I no longer need the Requiem Stand.

Looking around, I discovered that the whole place is destroyed and 90% of the buildings had fallen apart, the last 10% were barely standing, and some of the walls had broken down. Leaving a big gap on the side of these buildings.

Overall, I'm shocked I haven't been killed with how destructive Ophis could be; then again, she was planning to mind control me to do her bidding. So I guess she wouldn't dare try to kill me as that would defeat her purpose of trying to mind control me.

"NO! WHAT HAPPEN?!" I hear Sona screaming from a distance, which is my cue to get out of the destroyed Kuoh Town.

So with a quick getaway via Dimensional Travel. I left without any hesitation or more like I rather not deal with politics with the supernatural factions and rather just run away from it. Once again, I shall take the coward's route and not be ashamed.

3 days later*

I didn't go too far from the destroyed Kuoh Town since it's best if I stay near to gain info on what's going on. Also, it's because I discovered that a god or goddess over the domain of space has made it so, I can leave Japan. But, I can still use Dimensional Travel to travel within Japan. Yet, this is also a problem for me. Since I just tried to use Dimensional Shifting to head to another world since my time in the Highschool DxD has long been overdue. Sadly, the Shifting Shards didn't work due to the space in Japan is now unstable or more like very stable, to the point of space not being able to be affected by supernatural methods.

So, if I want to leave this world, I must leave Japan in a mundane way. However, this is much harder for me due to the incident with Ophis. Where all transportation is now closed, I would say someone higher up in the business world with a tie with the supernatural world has been ordered to shut down all methods to leave Japan.

Luckily, I have Senjutsu and not just the ordinary Senjutsu of this world, thanks to having Omnifabrication and Telos Karma to prevent even the gods from locating me through Senjutsu too. However, that doesn't mean there aren't any powerful gods that could bypass this, as Ophis did due to her godlike luck.

So, if there is anyone else with godlike luck, then it should be possible for them to find me even with Telos Karma in play. Weirdly enough, as that is. But, I toss it up due to the world being against me or something the moment I enter this world.

However, that wasn't the only bad news lately. For one thing, Rias has finally remembered me and tried to contact me if I haven't already gotten rid of that flip phone a long time ago. Yet, this didn't stop Rias from seeking me out after realizing how powerful I am, to manage to scare the Infinite Dragon God away. Something I find a little weird on how in the world did people find out about this. Nevertheless, if that wasn't enough, people from the supernatural world discovered that I have the power to defeat the Great Red, going by how Ophis mentioned it at some point while hunting me down before returning to Kuoh Town.

Back to Rias; well, I learned that she is planning to make me her husband or something on that line once realizing that technically, we never did officially break up. Making this something for Rias to get me before I could say we broke up or, to be precise, due to a new devil law that just became legal, thanks to Rias' older brother, that allow all heirs and heiresses to be able to pick out their partner or partners.

It wasn't surprising to learn that Rias plans to have Issei and me in a reverse harem. Something I honestly thought Issei would decline, but I learned how Rias pointed out to Issei that he can continue to have his harem while she has her own. Though, I got the feeling Rias wasn't going to have a harem of her own and more of gathering an entire second peerage in the name of a harem.

So yeah, I kept my distance and had Chariot Requiem spy on Rias and Gold Experience Requiem with Sona to learn whatever is going on in the supernatural world for a day before leaving.

Of course, other than Rias, I have Sona aiming for me as well once she learns from her older sister, Serafall, that I was the one helping Serafall out to become a better older sister. Therefore, after reading Sona's thoughts for some time now, where she has the idea that she could get her hands on me. Then, the chance of Serafall stop being a magical girl would be extremely high. Too bad for Sona, Serafall nor I have mentioned how this whole thing is to make Sona drop her guard around Serafall before she is forcible without realizing it, entering the yuri and incest route with her older sister.

Nonetheless, this made me extremely cautious of my surroundings. I have yet to find an escape route out of Japan for 3 days now without being discovered by someone from the supernatural world when I try to force my way through security. Something I learned right away thanks to the help of Book of the End and the hard way when I tried to change the history of the area to make an escape path for me. Where some of the gods and goddesses quickly appeared in the area right away the moment they felt me changing history.

This forced me to fight out of there and use multiple usages of Dimensional Travel and Telos Karma before losing these gods and goddesses after the second day on the run.

Fuck pride. I need to escape this world before whatever the world throws at me will lead me to my death or slavery. The latter is worse due to possessing the Omnifabrication and all the Magical Items I have made up to now. While the former is just temporary before a God of Death captures me before turning me into an enslaved person to do their bidding after finding out I might have lost my main power, aka Omnifabrication. In contrast, my Magical Items might be lost forever, or someone with domain over dimensions could access my hammerspace to get them.

Honestly, I was lucky to have these Sacred Gears before this happened. Because without these former Sacred Gears, I would have been easily defeated by these gods and goddesses in no time, even with all my Magical Items and Requiem Stands. Also, this revealed to the supernatural world that I have multiple Sacred Gears. Technically true, but at the same time false. Not that these people would care for that matters.

I now have a big target placed on my back upon this discovery. Yikes, I should have left this world early on, but again, I did have a stalker of Ophis coming after me. Well, I have the world as a whole, excluding the mundane world hunting me down now.

This just taught me a harsh lesson: Always stay low-key! Because damn, I expected to have Ddraig and Albion's powers would help me fight against all these gods and goddesses fighting me. But, nope, I learn the hard way that I'm no dragon, nor do I have the body of one. Therefore, I have my limits and almost got caught. Furthermore, I wasn't just facing one god; nope, there were a bunch of them, and I felt foolish to think I could take them on just because I have the power to kill a god.

Currently, I'm trying to sneak past the borderline of Japan and straight into South Korea from Fukuoka. Because I tried with Sapporo to enter Russia but realized it was tightly shut down, making it very impossible for me to enter, even when I rapidly used Telos Karma to help me. Sadly, even that was very limited in help as I only got a single foot in Russia before having to run with my life on the line when Russian gods and goddesses appeared, which were much stronger than I realized. So, I'm testing my luck with the Korean pantheon.

If this doesn't work, that won't matter since I got many backup plans just in case. Some of the backup plans I have in mind are either too dangerous or require specific requirements to be met for them to work. Otherwise, it would fall apart no matter how well the plan is made.

Therefore, as my father once said, "If your plans fail, then make a new one until you either completely fail at the end or until one of your plans finally works." Then, end up being killed by a hitman the day after he gave me this advice. Yikes.

Carefully, I send Chariot Requiem out to test the area while ensuring Chariot Requiem moves in the shadow. Hopefully, no gods have the domain of shadow or darkness, or they would discover Chariot Requiem. Otherwise, I have to give up on leaving Japan for South Korea and use one of my dangerous plans instead.

I watch Chariot Requiem take its time to get through the security and avoid the human-lookalike people with strong souls. Since there is a chance those with strong souls might not be humans. Of course, some humans have strong souls compared to others, but better not to risk it. Furthermore, using Telos Karma to make it so I can find people that would talk about anything related to me since anything could be useful in my current situation.

Also, because through the linked senses between Chariot Requiem and me. I can overhear the conversation around the place without physically being there.

"Are you sure the target will go through here?"

"Where else would he go? The underground? All the people with power over water have kept track of all boats from entering and leaving. There's no way the target will be able to leave Japan if he plans to go by boat; furthermore, I got some friends who told me that they got people with power over the earth to feel out anyone moving through the ground too."

I clicked my teeth at this because that was exactly what I was planning to do by taking a boat to South Korea. It looks like this option is a no-go for me, and one of my plans was to go underground too, and it's now useless. Nonetheless, this is fine for me since I learn this now than later on when things become more challenging for me to hide afterward. Also, it's good that I gained Telos Karma early on to get what I wanted; well, almost anything I wanted.

Either way. Slowly, I have Chariot Requiem scout out shipyard and curse under my breath, where the place is literally packed full of supernatural beings. Some of them are actual gods and goddesses, making it much more difficult for me to move out of Japan if I dare go with this suicidal plan of going to the sea. So, I know that the plans to move from Japan to South Korea are not happening.

So far, I mainly noticed these gods and goddesses aim for me compared to other supernatural creatures. It makes me wonder if forcing Ophis away triggers these gods to move instead of sending their minions after me. Yet, I wonder if it's just this world or the gods themselves for being stupid since I can blast Ophis away. Then they should fear me instead and do their best to avoid it. However, that did the opposite effect for some reason.

So after recalling Chariot Requiem. I slowly moved away from the shipyard and avoided staying in those attractions in Fukuoka too long since people were hunting me down in those places as well. Making it a little difficult for me to move if I didn't have Senjutsu activated 24/7.

5 days*

It took some time, but one of my plans is about to work. I made sure not to let my target notice the people near him or me.

A young man with black hair and spectacles. He is wearing a combination of a Japanese school uniform for the fall and a mage-style robe over his uniform with a feathered cape.

This is Georg, the sub-leader of the hero faction and the possessor of the Longinus: Dimension Lost and the descendant of Johann Georg Faust, the man who made a pact with the legendary devil, Mephisto Pheles. Also, my ticket way out of this fucking world is starting to piss me off enough that I would gladly cave into my pride to cause massive destruction to the world in order to cause most of these gods and goddesses to fade from existence due to living off from faith. Then, throwing some bombs that were enough to destroy them, and I had the Stand to do such a thing.

However, I got to be smart about this and know when to retreat, then find another method in future worlds to gain the power to destroy these gods. Because at this point, the gods and goddesses might be my biggest weak points in my second life. Pretty much the weakness of a vampire's sunlight and so on. Anything related to gods and goddesses would be my doom. As much as I hate to think about this, it's true. Since out of everything so far, the gods are what pushed me to run away due to a lack of a means to deal with them, even with the so-called Sacred Gears that have the potential to kill gods.

Though Princess Resurrection and D. Gray-Man's world didn't cause me to leave. But, since I have only been to 4 worlds and half of them forcing me to leave are the gods.

Now, it's time for me to get what I should have gotten early on with the other 4 Sacred Gears at the time.

Slowly, I have Chariot Requiem move through other people's shadows while continuing to have Telos Karma preventing anyone from interfering and stopping Georg from leaving.

"Make them fall asleep." I order Chariot Requiem to force everyone within a mile radius to sleep while quickly transferring the 'soul' of the Dimension Lost into the Grimoire Weiss, with the help of the Omnifabrication to make the transfer go smoothly and along with changing the Dimension Lost to something much more.

Afterward, I got the fuck out of there and ran like hell with Gold Experience Requiem partial summon to give me the boost in speed as well as having the Fox Mask boost my speed too. Same with Senjutus. Therefore, I'm going fast enough to get me away from the area where I left Georg by the time the people realized how in the world I gained so many Sacred Gears in the first place.

EDITED AUTHOR NOTE: 8/29/2022

I've gone back to change a few things in all chapters from 1-29. So, if you want, you guys can reread the chapters to see the difference, but if not, no harm is done. You'll see a few new additions here and there, and it won't change from the original story that much.

Happy reading, and thanks for the support!

Also, hot damn, I got a newfound respect for editors! Also, this killed my motivation to resume working on this fanfic. Sorry! But, at least things should be more bearable to read now.
