World Rebellion
Dirty Pillar 6
Setting the stage
It been about 5 minutes since my horrible meeting with the hypocritical spoil brat Rias Gremory. After Rias accepted my challenge we had rough small talk before I excused myself to go meet with Sona.
Now I stand in front of the doors of the student council room while slurping a vanilla milkshake my signature food that all humorous antagonist must have on them at all time.
Knocking on the door 3 times is wasn't long before I was answered by a "come in" from what sound to be like Sona voice.
Opening the door and walking through it I was greeted by the sight of one of the most expensive student council room I probably ever seen in my life.
A large plasma screen tv that was currently broadcasting the news at 4k. Some of the most expensive chair I ever seen which basically just mean they're of equal quality to the ones used by noble in the underworld. Same goes for the desk.
The room was silent. However previously from beyond the door I heard the sound of paperwork being filled out but it seems my presence here has disrupt that as all eyes were on me right now. Including Saji I should mention so I am assuming he already been reincarnated.
" Ayyy yooo. Sona how my favorite little rookie doing?" I said in a cheery tone.
At that moment I could've sworn I heard the sound of Sona glasses cracking as her peerage gave me a flabbergasted look on how I just called their king. Especially Saji who was giving me an angry yet jealous glare.
" huu. I thought I had previously told you to not address me that way while in public." Sona said in a tired tone.
" You did I just decided to ignore that completely after all don't you find out conversation many times more interesting now?"
" Just hurry up and tell me what you want from me. That is why your here is it not?" Sona said while rubbing her forehead.
"huu , fine just one quick question you are aware of the excalibur problem right?"
Giving me a nod in response I then continue to my request.
"Well I don't need a favor from you per say more as your sister."
That probably struck a cord just now. After all despite being the smarter and more reasonable one between her and Rias she still has her own pride and all.
The same exact pride that led such a smart person to abandon the safety of the underworld where she could get all the top class training and experience she wants. In exchange for something a idiotic as simply proving herself.
To put it simply Sona was probably a bit pissed off at me right now despite the calm demeanor she is currently showing. Ah how cute if only I could tease her more about this. However this is a serious situation so I'll just refrain...for now.
" And the request that you want me to pass on to her?" Sona said catching on to my goal.
" I need you not me under your name to ask for a couple of personal guard from your sister."
Welp if I wasn't on So-tan bad side before this I am now after all the request I basically just told her that she and Rias was not ready to handle this situation when an opportunity to prove herself just appeared out of nowhere.
" Zaxan no offense to you but what makes you think that I would agree to this request you know how complacent I am on this subject." Sona asked in a slightly strained voice that no one seemed to have caught on but me.
" Are you possibly asking me why I came to you rather than Rias, Why I can't ask her myself, or why I think you can't handle this situation."
" Honestly speaking all of them." Sona replied.
" Well for Rias aside from my obvious hate boner for her and our negative relationship. You're the more reasonable of the 2." At that point it seems Sona was already about to interrupt me but I raised my hand telling her I am getting their.
" As for why I can't ask Serafall myself simple I am not that high up in the whole chain of command. If I tried to make a request there a chance that delays may happens or more than most likely denied all together."
That last part was completely true after all I am but a field agent albeit an important one, is still a field agent all the same. I am given just enough authority to call in certain back-up since I am the one on the front line of everything being one of their main way to confirm info. However not enough to call in backup from a Maou personal guard.
" And the reason why you believe I would agree to all of this is?"
" Simply because I know you're nowhere near suicidal enough to challenge an ultimate class being let alone 2." I said with a bit of snark.
At that moment you could see how Sona eyes along with the member of her peerage that recognizes the importance of the term widened in surprise. Which is basically everyone but Saji.
" ...Ho..How?"
Sona was shocked to say the least guessing by the obvious tone in her voice. As she struggled to asked me how I knew this.
In the background you could here Saji asking a senior member on exactly the importance of the term ultimate class.
" Simple really, as you already probably know the church suspect fallen to be the perpetrators behind the Excalibur incident correct?"
In response Sona chose to only give me a nod in response probably to surprise still to reliably answer.
" Well the method that they used to figure that detail out was the left over tainted holy magic particle left behind at the scene of the crime."
That probably made her clued her in on what I was getting at. Afterall there was a reason why I was such an important agent on the field. Said reason is usually kept secret among the upper individual of the department of foreign affairs. But since Sona is Serafall sister I had more than enough opportunity to work with her before her leave from the underworld.
So Sona has been given more than enough time to see how my ability works. Said ability is my magical sense that via help from many magical systems from other universes has grown to the level where I can even directly identify a person base on the magical particle they leave behind from their spells. Even if I never even met them before.
Well in this case since I read the original light novel so I already knew that Kokabiel was the one behind this. However Sona doesn't know that so she probably assumed that I somehow snuck into the church where one of the Excalibur were stolen and got a look myself.
" if what you're saying is indeed true then why not report it to some officials I'm sure they be more than happy to offer you any help require." Sona asked having finally recovered her ground.
" Simple really besides politics despite the fact that I was the one that personally saw the particle this is all technically speaking in the theory phase."
In response to what I just said just now Sona simply gave me a questioning look.
" To put it more straightforwardly despite the fact that I have confirm the fact that Kokabiel is the one behind this I have not confirmed the fact that he actually here. Right now the only proof I have of him being here are those exorcist."
Well the exorcist and the fact that I actually read the light novel.
" So to not have to deal with all the paperwork and politics of getting some personal guard inside the territory of two of the maou sisters you rather have me just ask for back-up." Said the actual reason why I am asking her.
" Yup in other words I am asking you this because I am to lazy to use option A and simply deal with it like a slave at a corporate company." I admitted with the straightest face in the world.
Truthfully speaking I didn't really need Sona to ask Sera for bodyguards. My plan would work just fine without them. However if Sona get some trustworthy bodyguard they can maintain the barrier around the school rather than Sona and her peerage. Thus allowing her to actually fight.
As for why I am doing this well. It because I obviously like Sona more than Rias. So for the sake of appeasing my own petty feelings I am making it so that Sona and Rias get a share of the fame rather than just Rias.
Plus not like this is particularly hard to do. All I just have to get Sona to agree to get some guard for this and they'll take it from there. After all that damn pillar will make sure everything will go as close as possible to canon. While also giving Isshiki his moments in the spotlight.
" I see. Well if that the situation we're in then I'll make sure to report the fact that you're too lazy to do your job when I contact my sister." Sona said obviously trying to spite me.
However sadly for her I knew exactly how to turn this situation in my favor.
" Ah if you're going to talk about me with your Serafall than make sure you include the part of how I risked my life bravely charging alone into church territory to bring you no the entirety of all devil kind this most valua-" I said while making a bunch of exaggerated gestures.
" Stop, I get the message." Sona then interrupted me. Holding her right hand out while using her other one to message her forehead.
" Well if you get the importance of the situation I guess I got nothing left to say." I ended on a 'happy' note.
Turning around I was about to begin making my way out the door when.
" Hold on just one moment Zaxan." Sona spoke out.
Turning around again to face her once more I asked. " hmmm did you want something?"
" Yes in fact that something is very important if I do say so myself." Sona said.
Tilting my head in confusion my unsaid question was soon answered by Sona the only other person in this conversation despite the fact that there are literally 4 others in the room.
Either the author is to lazy to write them in this conversation like he is to write this chapter or that beside Saji and Sona he doesn't know the personality of the others in this room enough.
" You still haven't told me the identity of the other ultimate being that we will all have to confront."
" Oh him well don't worry I'll be the one taking care of him." I stated with absolute confidence in my victory.
" Even so one can never be to safe when preparing to face off against an ultimate being."
" Well since you're so desperate to know I'll tell you. The other ultimate that I will be dealing with his none other than the White Dragon Emperor."
To say that Sona looked surprised after that would be an understatement as her previously calm face instantly transformed into one of surprise and terror. Can't blame her though after all with Vali appearance here all 3 heavenly dragons will be gathered.
Well taking this chance while she still to surprise to speak I quickly rushed out of the room before she could ask anymore questions.
A few moments later in the student council room
Silence and gloomy. That is what best describes the situation of the student council room after Zaxan.
The news of them having to take on possibly 2 ultimate level beings at the same time soon in the future. One of them being the White Emperor hit the entire council pretty hard.
Even the assurance of back-up from Sona sister and Zaxan claiming to be able to handle the White Emperor alone didn't help relieve the weight on their shoulders very much.
Amidst this aura of despair Saji who did not fully understand the weight of the situation due to only being recently introduced to the supernatural world asked instead the question.
" Umm Kaichou. Sorry to interrupt you while you're contemplating something but who was that just now that just came in the room and who is this Kokabiel and White Emperor guy."
Immediately then all eyes in the room turned to the naive fool that had no idea what just happened. Some giving him a stupefied look. While other look at him in with thankfulness for getting rid of the depressing mood.
" Ummm why is everybody giving me strange looks?" asked Saji genuinely clueless on everything happening.
Suddenly Tomoe grabbed Saji shoulder. In response Saji instinctively turned his head toward Tomoe who was giving him a smiling look with a thumbs up which was then followed by a "good job".
This caused Saji to dropped a bead of sweat as he had no idea what was going on really.
Sona however took the opportunity in all this to regain her bearing and lighten the mood. So what better way to do that than some exposition.
" Saji I have told you about the group that me and Rias are in correct?" Seizing the moment of silence. All eyes than to Sona.
Fumbling to remember the memory Saji respond with. " Umm it was called the Elite 4 right?"
You could hear a snicker or 2 coming from the peerage at Saji rookie mistake.
" Close but no me and Rias are in the group known as the rookie 4." Sona ignored the reference after all in this world the Elite 4 was called the Ultimate 4.
" Umm yeah that one. The other 2 were someone called Seekivera and Sairoag right?"
Giving a nod in response Sona then continue with. " Well as you hopefully remember that title is only given to the 4 most promising youth of a generation."
Saji nodded in response.
" Well since you have some basic ground in this field I guess we will start with who that hooded man just now was." Sona said to Saji.
Before Sona could go on however Tsubaki interjected. " Kaichou would it not be better to first tell him what exactly being an ultimate class being entails?"
" Thank you Tsubaki. Yes we will start on that."
One Ultimate Explanation later ( You guy know this shit already no need to waste word... hopefully)
" WAhhhh! So you saying that we will be possibly facing 2 of those monster soon?" Saji cried out in panic
" Well hopefully when that comes to be than we will have back-up from my sister and more than most likely Rias. Though incorrect we will more than most likely only have to face off personally against only one of them."
" Huh one!? but didn't that guy just now said that there would be 2 of them coming? Was he lying or something?"
" Yes he did say that there would be 2 ultimate class being coming here however recall he also said that he would be personally handling one of the 2 ultimate being himself." Sona replied
It took an entire minute but eventually Saji mind rebooted enough to not only recall that particular memory but also comprehend the weight of behind those words.
" Wait are you telling me that the hooded guy just now is another monster on par with the other 2 guys!?" Saji asked
" Well it complicated. Officially speaking Zaxan himself is probably not listed as an ultimate class being. However there are some that argue that he is possibly an ultimate base on the little info we have of him."
" Little info?"
" Yes little info. Officially Zaxan himself has no feats that would put him at ultimate class. His magic reserves though amazing for a human is only upper high-class devil level. His best recorded feat is killing a group of monster and stray devil totaling 32 in number. Each one of them supposedly at the level of a high class devil."
" Wait he killed 32 beings that are of roughly the same strength as you Kaichou!?" Saji interrupted.
You could see the way Sona mood instantly darkened upon being compared to these beings.
" Yes as much as I hate to admit it all 32 of these beings held strength comparable to me and Rias. In fact if the reports of their abilities I read are true. I may even say that some of them could even take on both me and Rias along with our respective peerage at the same time."
" Woahh! How does that not make him ultimate class that sound like a pretty impressive feat if you ask me." Saji cried out once more.
" Saji please quiet down and let me continue please." Sona said in a slightly cold tone.
Everyone in the room could visibly see the way Saji shrunk a bit at the harsh tone he was receiving. " Yes Kaichou."
Readjusting her glasses Sona then continued. "As for you question the difference between ultimate class and high class is gigantic. In fact the strength level to be considered high-class is the widest among the strength grouping. Even if Zaxan fought 100 of enemies that were each stronger than me and Rias it would not be considered an ultimate class feat.
" I know what you wondering at this point. So what exactly make some consider Zaxan ultimate class? Well the reason is actually pretty stupid after all it started with nothing more than a rumor."
" A rumor?" Everyone except for Tsubaki and Sona said aloud.
" Yes a single rumor sparked this small debate on whether or not Zaxan should be at least consider even if it not official to be someone in the ultimate level class. The source of this rumor points all the way back to none other than Riser Phenex."
Everyone then gave Sona and Tsubaki a questioning look. Wondering who this Riser guy is and how does he have any connection with this.
" Ignoring some more personal connections Riser in short is the generation strongest youth."
Saji having caught on to something raised his hand. Like a student would to a teacher when asking a question. Sona giving Saji a questioning yes in response. gave the okay to speak.
" Ummm I thought that the 4 strongest devils in a generation were given the title rookie 4 so should the strongest youth not be one of you guys?"
" That is correct the title of rookie 4 is given to the strongest 4 devils in A generation. However Riser is The generation strongest youth."
Once more Sona was once again given a confused look in response.
" To explain it in more detail. Us devils are in a way very broad with our use of generation. One cannot be officially considered part of A generation until the age of 10 and one is considered a part of it until the age of 18. Where at the age of 19 they are allowed to officially go pro and join the rating games." Sona then took some time to let the info sit in.
" That a wide gap of 8 years. So as you can imagine the title of rookie 4 changes a lot. As new devils enter the scene while old ones leave. Riser is 19 so he is no longer eligible for the rookie 4 title." Once again another pause.
" However due to some ancient laws one is consider a 'youth' until the age of 24. So due to this strange situation were in. the title of strongest 'youth' became optionally separate to that of rookie 4."
Now everyone was in greater wonder in how this Riser is involved in all this.
" The reason this background story is important is because Zaxan is consider to be Riser rival by all those who personally know one of the two."
"EHHHHHH!" Was the collective scream of every student council member save for Tsubaki. Who already knew this info.
" Wait so the guy just now was some kind of important VIP or something like that! Actually you said that you for all those that personally know. So what you relationship with him Kaichou?" Saji zoomed in on the part he found most important (Got his priorities straight).
Sona mood visibly darkened upon getting what Saji was implying after all she had known about his little crush on her for a while now. Though she did her best to ignore the implication.
" VIP would be putting it wrong. Zaxan works for my sister as a field agent gathering info throughout the world. He is an important field agent. One that supposedly have a near perfect record for mission completion. Zaxan has even been entrusted with extremely important top secret mission in the past according to my sister. Ultimately though he is still only a field agent no matter how important of one he is." Sona paused for a moment.
" As for my relation with him." Sona said with a slight distaste in her mouth. " Well I know of both him and Riser personally. Partially because Zaxan works under my sister so he would sometime help me out during certain less ideal moments." Saji obvious irritation only grew after that last sentence.
" But also because Riser would sometime visit the Gremory estate for political reason." Sona ignored the arranged marriage between Riser and Rias knowing it would only cause more needless questions.
" Sometimes I would be there when Riser visited. Who was also most of the time escorted by Zaxan because of that I am one of the few that has knowledge of the two's rivalry with each other. Despite the fact that Zaxan is Riser queen."
" EHHHHHHH" Was once again the united cry of everyone in the rooms.
" Kaichou! Is he really Riser queen. I mean I didn't feel a hint of demonic power from him." Asked Momo.
" Well officially speaking Zaxan has not yet joined Riser peerage. In fact Zaxan had yet to even become a devil. Though before you ask I don't know specifically why. Apparently there some rumor of him trying to respect someone wishes."
" Wait considering the direction this conversation is likely heading does that mean this Riser guy is possibly an ultimate class being kaichou?" Reya asked.
" Good deductive reasoning Reya. Yes Riser is possibly an ultimate class being. Well possibly being the operative word here. You see Riser himself is in a similar situation to Zaxan. In that there not many evidence that support his ultimate status either."
" Wait so in the end is this really all just one big conspiracy or something?" Wondered Saji aloud.
" No Riser may be in a similar situation as Zaxan however there is some slight evidence that support him being ultimate class. Just not enough to fully convince everyone."
In response Sona only received looks of confusion from her entire peerage except for of course Tsubaki.
" Ultimate class status is something that is held by all 3 factions as a sacred position. To be declared directly as an ultimate class being by a form of government is to become a shining example and representative for the faction one is in. Besides the Maou there are only 35 confirmed ultimate class being in the entire underworld and all of them in someway has some connection to the top of the rating games."
Instantly everyone realized what Sona was implying. Despite the fact that there exist possible evidence for Riser to ascend to Ultimate Class. It not good enough in the eyes of the government to give him a chance to rise in position.
" In Riser case the rumor started all the way back to 1 year ago. When he defeated someone who was rumored to have been given the opportunity to rise to Ultimate Status."
" Now normally this would not warrant any reason for a small rumor to grow to such preposterous level. All it would mean is that Riser opponent was simply not yet ready to ascend. However the result of the match is not important but rather the match itself."
" The match itself?" Everyone else asked.
" Yes the match itself. What many people don't know about the end result of the match is the total destruction caused in Riser one single strike." Taking a moment to adjust her glasses Sona continued.
" According to official records that were published to the masses Riser destroyed the entire rating game field in a single strike. The dimension they fought in was supposedly a perfect copy of a small area of land owned by the Phenex family. Apparently chosen to give Riser a home field advantage."
Now everyone else was just simply confused on how the battlefield itself was important in this entire discussion.
" To give some context. Though the actual size of the arena was never given to the public it was given to some higher class devils with connections. The exact size of it all? Around 5 times the size of tokyo and Riser destroyed said battlefield to the point that there was not a single trace of it left after only a single attack." Tsubaki added.
Absolute silence. That was the reaction from the rest of the student council after the big reveal. After all what kind of normal person wouldn't be have there mouth gaping wide open after learning about the fact that they just encountered someone capable of completely destroying something 5 times bigger than tokyo.
Sona couldn't blame them after all she had the same reaction when she first learned of this 1 year ago.
Sure her sister is capable of a much more impressive feat of destroying all of Japan. However Sona herself was sure that such a feat was only possible if her sister did it over a period of time. Not in a single strike and even then Sona was sure that at best all she would actually do is turn Japan into a barren wasteland. Not destroy the entire landmass itself.
If Sona was honest was herself than honestly speaking she was some of the few in the know yet also many that believe Riser is someone that deserve the ultimate class status. Sure she has no idea if Zaxan is still comparable to Riser after one year but she does know for a fact that one full year ago they were definitely on equal terms.
The worst part of all this however. The fact that Riser will be participating in this year youth gathering. Despite not attending for all the previous years and if rumors were true Sona would have to possibly content with the Colorless Snake of the Phenex family also.
Some Hours Later Zaxan Pov
" Maaaan~ that sure took longer to finish than I thought." I said just as I had returned to my temporary rundown apartment in Kuoh. After having to take care of some important business.
Opening the door to my apartment room and entering. I was greeted by the sight of a black hair twin tailed girl dressed in a pink magical girl outfit. Sitting on top of my really nice and expensive bed.
" Ah Hebi-chan you're finally here I been waiting for you since this morning. Don't you know it wrong to keep a magical girl waiting." Serafall said in her usual cheery tone to me as she got up from the bed and did a pose.
" Sera-tan! Have you come to finally admit your burning hot passionate love toward me?" I asked a bit jokingly.
" Nope. Sorry but So-tan the only one for me plus. I am everyone magical girl!" She rejected me in her usual cheery tone. While striking another embarrassing pose.
" Give it time. I'll grow on you." I jokingly said again.
" Tehe. I guess we will see." She gave me a wink.
Moving toward my fridge to store to groceries I had in my hand. I then turned back to Serafall.
" So if you're not here to admit your burning hot passionate feeling toward me what are you here for?" I said the last part in a partially cold tone.
Now the atmosphere was pretty serious. As it should be after all my relationship with Serafall could at best be described as worker and boss. Sure she had me help Sona every now and then by abusing her authority but that only because she know I can get the job done.
Serafall should have ever only 2 reasons to visit me normally and that to give me an important mission half way across the globe or pester me to help Sona.
" Well you see I was actually working around in my office helping make the underworld better when suddenly. I got the most unexpected call from my dearest So-tan asking me for some help. Of course I did however I also wanted to gives thanks to the one who gave So-tan the idea in the first place." Serafall said. Her voice free of any malice or rather she was doing an awfully good job to hide any and all malice.
" So you want to know what I am planning with this entire fiasco?" I said bluntly and straight toward the point.
Makes sense after all I myself will admit that I am not the most trustworthy individual in the world. After all there is a reason why I am known as the colorless snake throughout all the 3 factions.
Sure the snake has many other meaning in various other religions most of them not that great. However within Christianity it by far one of the worst title you can give to anyone. What with the relations with Samael along with the story of a snake apparently tricking Adam and Eve into eating the forbidden fruit.
Considering the more than questionable stuff I been doing the past few years that all seems to have some kind of big impact in the balance of the 3 factions in some good and bad ways. I am not surprised I got that alias.
" Mouu, Did you have to put it like that Hebi-chan. I'm just curious on what you're up to that all."
Yeah bet you are in fact bet you along with pretty much anyone else that knows about my backdoor dealings are curious.
" Well if you marry me then I'll be more than happy to tell you." I shamelly proposed to her knowing all too well she would refuse.
" Sorry but like I said before So-tan will alway be the only one for me!" Serafall rejected me without a trace of hesitation.
" Well if that's the case don't worry this is simply something I am doing to spite Rias like alway. I have no plans to put Sona in a situation of actual harm. Well beside the situation of actual harm she is already in."
" Hmmm if so then maybe I should stay here in Kuoh for a while. After all onee-chan doesn't want her cute little imouto getting hurt after all." Serafall said mostly to herself.
" Serafall we both know the reason why you can't interfere in this event."
Well I knew the actual reason on why. For Serafall it probably have something to do with politics and how personally fighting against Kokabiel to soon is basically an act of declaring war. So it better to send some kind of backup first. She probably also have some faith that Sona will make it through this somehow. Plus whether she along with Sona want to admit it or not my presence here is pretty welcoming.
For me however it because the 'story' demands that the main cast get a chance against Kokabiel. So the pillar is manipulating things around to makes sure that Serafall or some other powerful being doesn't come in and steal Isshiki and the other moment in the spotlight.
" Fine make sure to take care of So-tan then. I don't want to see a single scratch on her face when I get the okay on the promise day."
All I did was give her a half hearted salute in return and like that she was gone from my danky apartment room.
Sighing to myself I took a step toward my really expensive bed that really has no place in this crappy looking apartment when suddenly my phone started ringing.
Looking at the contact to see who it was I immediately answered soon after.
" I assume you're calling to tell me about how the experiment on the pillar limits worked out?" I asked.
" Quite. It seems that your theory was right. As long as a character role and event in said role is close enough to the intended original than it is indeed possible to replace them with another." A feminine voice answered from the other side.
Gaining in evil smirk on my face I answered with. " Perfect than I hope you don't have anything to do soon. As you along with the other will be getting a bit busy with some task I have in mind."
" Yare Yare. It seems that I will have no choice but to get my hand dirty soon." Compained the voice from the other side.
" Yup so get ready… Altair Shimazaki."
Well Finally finished with that chapter. Sorry for taking so long but I was on vacation. Not an actual vacation like going to a resort or something like that but more of a life vacation. Cuz school coming up soon like VERY soon so I decided to take my remaining time to relax and just read some Visual novel I never completed.
Well I started typing this chapter during that time also but I wasn't very motivated either. Why because as the title say this is nothing more than setting up the stage for somethings to come. Anyways expect slower update now because once again school coming up.
Now to discuss some things about the chapter.
*To first address the guest. Yes I did reveal to you the secret of this fic via Aizen Sosuke quote.
*To Fanfic Shuffle. You will see Riser new member in time. Sadly due to the nature of this story and my writing style Riser will more or less take a back seat on things until it his time to shine.
*To Mysterious Otaku. Yeah I agree with you. I think the problem with most hero Si-Oc fic is beside changing a single thing. The author does not have guts to change anything else. However as you can see in chapter 5. I fear no such thing!
Also as seen in Chapter 1 Zaxan actually has some strange power. That is what actually allowing him access powers from other word by directly tapping into the energy source they use and system also. This way his ability are no mere imitation but rather the genuine article.
*To PyroMaster. Kinda not really it the Pillar in the title. Blame many things on that.
* To Amvmaster. MWAHAHAHA that was my plan all along after all if I wanted things to be easy I simply have him be discovered by the Gremory or Sitri.
* To Avidra. I have PM you on this also Zaxan will go on his own eventually. I have no interest on tying Zaxan down by things such as slavery once all things are said and done.
* To Bipolar Penguin. Zaxan will always be best character.
* To Cinder. I will probably AT MOST include a total of 6 other Oc's character beside Zaxan and Isshiki
1Starting off with the most important thing this chapter who was that at the end. Well if you honestly can't tell Altair is obviously based off of Altair from Re:Creators. Shimazaki being the last name of her creator in that story. I gave it to Altair since she herself had no last name.
Her existence and importance to the plot in this story will become obvious in time. After all I plan to have an explanation for most things. Like why the hell an Oc character resemble this actual character beside LOL there just simply similar. I mean it not that surprising considering how I got an explanation for Plot Armor already or rather I hinted at an explanation for plot armor.
2 As you may have noticed I implied that Zaxan may be participating in the rating games in this chapter. Which would mean he would have to become a devil. Here my answer to that. Zaxan wont remain a devil. He will only stay as a devil for a short while. specifically for the obvious battle between Rias and Riser.
I know I said Oc not a devil. But I honestly couldn't think of any other way for Zaxan to participate in this REALLY IMPORTANT event. So I ask you to stick with me for that part. Zaxan won't be part of Riser peerage after that. I honestly just need him to be a devil for this major event. He will only be a devil for that part. Zaxan wont even participate in the rest of the games. Well mostly because he will be busy being an Antagonist.
I hope you can understand because if it aint obvious this is the entire reason why I had Zaxan be discovered by the Phenex family instead of some OC made up clan.
3 Now that I got 2 off my chest time for 3. The reason behind this chapter. Well beside to set up the fight between Vali and Zaxan that will be coming next chapter. This is mostly to give some info on what been happening lately within this 10 year time gap. A bit more foreshadowing and a sprinkle of world building.
4 How strong is Zaxan and Riser? They are both ultimate class as I implied in this chapter. You may think that a bit to much but keep in mind this. the Match between Riser and Rias will actually be AFTER Sairaog and Rias.
5 Romance? Well here the thing about that there is a reason I wrote romance undecided and not harem or shipping undecided. The reason for that is because well I am having a hard time pairing anyone up with Zaxan.
To make something clear now Zaxan is NOT a villainous protagonist. He is an Antagonist. Meaning his goal are in opposition to that of the protagonist. This is why Zaxan and thus Riser is so OP because they represent a gigantic wall that the protag must eventually climb.
This is also the central problem in this fanfic for Zaxan overcoming the fate of an Antagonist and rising beyond the role given to him. After all recall that really Chuuni start at the beginning of Chapter 1.
6 Exactly what is the Pillar? Well look at the title and look really carefully notice how it always changing into a worse state every time Zaxan changes something. The pillar is the thing that keep the 'plot' of the story intact it is responsible for all thing the stupid unexplained moment in this world. Plot armor, Issei breast power up, Why certain things happen the same way despite changes in the story,etc.
If you can't tell it already it basically the technical I guess you can say 'foil' for Zaxan during this half of the story. The things that Zaxan wants to destroy though it wont be that easy. After all the Pillar is basically the law enforcement of the plot. If you change one to many things then it will retaliate.
7 Why am I spoiling all this to you? Because this ain't a mystery story and I really just need to hurry it up with the plot. So I am saving time if you will.
Anyway with everything hopefully addressed Review and tell me what you think. If you got a question just PM or put it in your review.
