Disclaimer: I do not own this story if I did, I would be sleeping in a bed full of money.
Let's begin!
-Two weeks later-
It's been two weeks since I got back from the world of Bleach and I did exactly what I said I was gonna do, divorce Rias.
Or it's what I thought would happen if her motherfucking father didn't intervene and make a law at the last second to ensure that I wouldn't leave her.
The law said that either I become a Devil and join the Gremory family or I stay married to Rias.
Naturally, she was ecstatic at the news of me being married to her while I thought of numerous ways to kill that bastard.
So my new plan is to make the most out of it and who knows, maybe I'll see past her bratty attitude and see her as an actual person.
I spent most of my time training the newest additions to the group and I wasn't doing that, I was training with Venelana on how to better my control over the Power Of Destruction.
"It seems you're not too focused today," Venelana says, hinting at the fact that I can't shape my P.O.D. into a smaller sphere and fire at the moving target.
It requires a lot of focus, which I don't have thanks to my [Sin Of Lust] acting up.
Guess I should get rid of that problem before it becomes too much but I don't think Yoruichi can go more than five rounds with me, which is her current limit.
"I'm having some...concerns about me being married to Rias, that's all," I tell her, not bothering to lie since she can tell when I'm lying.
"I understand. I will do whatever is necessary for Zeoticus to give you the freedom that you deserve but...wouldn't you be interested in staying in our family?" She asks me.
"What? No, I mean, I like Rias 'cause she's my friend and all that but I'm just getting tired of the same result happening over and over again." I say, lying on my back.
"Well, there are some benefits to marrying Rias," Venelana says mysteriously before joining me on the ground.
"What, you? You're a married mother, I don't want more problems than I already do."
"And? Why should that stop me from doing what I want? Besides, Zeo's too focused on his harem to even notice me anymore. If anything, we're married on paper and not in real life." She tells me and this is an enticing offer for one singular reason.
I've been too focused on the negative aspects of marrying Rias when I've got a [Quest] that forces me to build a harem.
She doesn't have to be one of my main wives but I should try to care for her so she doesn't feel neglected.
Plus, I get both her and Venelana, which is a huge win in my book.
"Alright then, let's see how this plays out," I tell before moving in to kiss her.
Relationship loyalty has decreased by 30 with Venelana for being a bold and great kisser.
"My my, aren't quite confident today?" She says, getting on top of me as I then use [Shadow Drive] to take us to her bedroom.
"Yeah so let's make this official. From now on, you belong to me!" I say, ripping off our clothes with a shadow dagger.
"Quite bold of you but I suppose I can indulge in your words for a little while," Venelana says before I shove the full length of my shaft inside of her entrance, watching her eyes go wide and a loud moan escapes her mouth.
With no other warning from her, I begin to thrust with reckless abandon, earning another few moans from her.
I channel a bit of [Thunder Magic] throughout my entire body, watching her eyes go to the back of her head and she sticks her tongue out due to the pleasure she's feeling.
"I'm gonna...I'M GONNA... UGH~" Venelana mewls before I feel her entrance clench my dick, meaning she's gotten her release but the thing is... I haven't quite finished having fun with her so I'll have to remedy that in the following minutes.
We changed positions, with her on top of me while I lay on the bed and with that, we proceeded to have 'fun' for a long time.
-Timeskip-
Hey Hestia, do you mind using half of the remaining [Gacha Tokens]?
Rolling...
Item gained.
RX-78-2 Gundam
Description: The RX-78-2 Gundam is the titular mobile suit of the Mobile Suit Gundam television series. Part of the RX-78 Gundam series, it was built in secret on Side 7. The Gundam would turn the tide of war in favour of the Earth Federation during the One Year War against the Principality of Zeon. It was primarily piloted by Amuro Ray.
That's a pretty good draw, not gonna lie.
All I have to do is upgrade it and it should be able to go on missions for me or I can duplicate it and have a whole army of mechas.
Next pull, please!
Skill gained.
Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic (Passive/Active) LVL: MAX
Description: A Magic which allows the user to transform their physiology into that of a Shadow Dragon, turning their body into a shadow that cannot be touched by normal means. With this Magic, the user can alsode themselves into shadows to move swiftly, dodging efficiently and making surprise attacks. However, if the user is caught while in a tangible form, or by another person in shadow form, they are then vulnerable to attack. While they are in shadow form, the user's senses are heightened to a large degree, and they are still able to see as if they were above ground. According to Rogue Cheney, for one to enter their own shadow, they must "feel" gravity to the point where their legs feel as one with the ground, thus allowing them to sink. As such, Gravity Magic and its variants can be used as an alternative to novice users attempting to enter their shadows for the first time.
Techniques: Shadow Dragon Roar, Shadow Dragon's Slash, Shadow Form, Shadow Dragon's Haste, Shadow Dragon's Claw, Shadow Dragon's Waxwing Flash, Shadow Drive, Shadow Dragon's Abyss, Shadow Dragon's Blade, Shadow Dragon's Eruption, Shadow Dragon's Illusion, Shadow Dragon's Breath and Shadow Dragon's Dive.
At Level 50, the user will be able to use Dragon Force.
At Level 100, the user can use Shadow Dragon King.
That's pretty... neat to say the least.
I can already use Dragon Force but again, what's going to happen to my body after I use it a couple of times?
You don't need to worry because of [Gamer's Body, although when you use either Dragon Force or Shadow Dragon King, you can temporarily transform into a dragon and enjoy its powers.
Ah, thank fuck, Hestia!
I thought I was gonna turn into a Dragon sometime soon.
Next pull.
Skill gained.
[Mana Burst] (Active)
Description: A skill that increases in performance by infusing one's weapons and body with Magical Energy and instantly expelling it.
MP cost will vary.
That's a pretty good [Skill] to have, especially if I decide to combine it with my other [Skills] for an extra boost in power.
Final pull!
A KitKat bar
Description: A simple KitKat bar.
...
...
...
"You have got to be kidding me." I let out exasperation and anger at how I got screwed with this pull.
What the fuck is that gonna help me with? A late-night snack?
Whatever, I'd better train in the [Dungeons] to finally get rid of my current [Classes] and maybe get some new ones if I'm able to.
Selecting the one with monsters in it, I summon my Shadow Soldiers and let them fight some of the monsters that are in front of us while I take care of those that they can't kill, we then march forward with the sole objective of getting stronger.
"Let's grind!" I yell, a demented grin on my face as I take off in the air with my [Demon-Dweller Sword] in my hands, ready for another session of grinding.
-Scene change-
"Hmm, Lord Kokabiel did say that this Excalibur would be here so I shall trust his word and end this quickly." A Fallen hums to himself as he moves a bit forward into one of the many churches in Rome.
"Halt! Who goes there?!" A random exorcist shouts, joined by a few others as they all unsheathe their Light Swords.
"Azriel, commander of the Fallen Angel and trusted advisor of Lord Kokabiel. I will only say this once, give me Excalibur Blessing and I will let you live." The now-named Azriel says, summoning a Light Spear in his right hand in case went south.
"Well, Azriel, I'm afraid we can't do that so you best skedaddle before things get ugly." The Exorcist replies hotly.
'No matter the era, humans must always act like idiots.' Azriel thought before flinging the Light Spear at the exorcist's head and watching it as his head exploded into chunks of blood and gore.
"Run! We need to warn Bishop Esposito and Pope Strada." Another one shouts before meeting the same fate as his comrade
"We need to flee! "An exorcist shouts as he's then hit in the heart by a light spear, courtesy of Azriel.
"Well, that was easy." He hums to himself as he walks to Excalibur Blessing.
He grabs the Holy Sword and turns around to face his newest challenge, two girls with Excaliburs of their own.
Now, this was getting interesting.
Instead of getting one Excalibur, he would be getting three fragments of the Legendary Sword that King Arthur used to rule over England a few hundred years ago.
"Good, lord Kokabiel will have the privilege of getting three of the seven fragments of Excalibur. Forgive me but I can't afford to hold back." The fallen says this as within an instant, the two girls are on the ground, clutching their bodies in pain as Azriel punches them in the stomach.
'Impressive. They're as durable as those four imbeciles that were in Kuoh before Azazel took them away from that place. Now, let's see how much punishment you two can take.' He thought as he then kicked them both to another area of the church.
"Agh! What are we going to do Xenovia?!" The girl screams in desperation at her comrade.
"We need to be calm, Irina. We can at least stall for time until more exorcists arrive." The now-named Xenovia tells her partner, trying to make the best of the situation.
The Fallen takes one look at them punches Irina around her body and then kicks her away, sending her crashing into a wall.
To his surprise though, he sees her trying to stand up, despite her broken arm and battered body.
"Ah...ah...AH!" Irina screams in agony at the sight of her bent arm.
'Lord Kokabiel is right, these humans may prove to be dangerous if given enough time for preparation. I should deal with them before they can become a problem.' Azriel thought to himself, shocked at the display of Irina's durability, even though she was a human.
However, he earns the ire of the blue-haired girl as she forces herself to stand up despite the pain she's feeling.
"Keep your filthy hands off of Irina, foul creature. Our heavenly father will punish you for hurting his children!" Xenovia shouts as she summons her Holy Sword: Durandal, to try and at least hurt this monster that dared to hurt her friend and fellow sister in god.
Irina does the same as her comrade, summoning her own Holy Sword: Clarent the Coward, a Holy Sword given to her by her parents on her 12th birthday to congratulate her on becoming well-known throughout England.
"Yes, that would be a problem if he didn't die in the war, sacrificing himself to seal Trihexa," Azriel says cockily.
"That's impossible! God can't die! He's the one who created the Earth! Isn't that right, Xenovia? Xenovia?" Irina says in denial, the revelation too much for her.
Unfortunately for the exorcist, Xenovia would then scream in fear as she slumps down to the ground unconscious, unable to cope with her new reality.
"Perhaps that was a bit too much for her. Oh well, at least she's off my back. Now, for my rewards."He says this as Irina stands before him and the three fragments of the Holy Sword.
"You won't beat me that easily," Irina says defiantly, gripping Clarent and grabbing Xenovia's Durandal for an extra boost in power.
"Hmph, since you still think that you have a chance, let me show you true despair." Azriel would say before reappearing in front of the brunette and punching her in the stomach, making her spit out blood and saliva as she fell on the ground in pain.
'In one hit. In one punch, he was able to defeat. Just who is he?! I need to contact an Angel quickly. He's too much of a threat to be left alone.' Irina thought before she let the darkness consume her consciousness.
"Well, looks like they weren't much of a challenge after all. Now, to collect what I came here for." Azriel says he then grabs Excalibur Mimic, Excalibur Destruction and Excalibur Blessing and takes off in an unknown direction, ready to give Kokabiel the good news.
-Scene Change-
"Are you serious?!" A Seraphim asks before a higher tier Angel calms it down.
"It will be alright...brother. I have some contacts that will help us retrieve the missing Excaliburs." The Angel says calmly, trying to make the most of the situation.
"I don't think you understand Michael. Kokabiel has 6 of the 7 fragments of Excalibur. If he gets Excalibur Ruler then this will be the end of Heaven, Overworld and Underworld, not to mention all of our Factions as we speak." The Seraphim says with a hint of anger in his voice, not understanding why his brother couldn't see reason.
"I said to not worry Raphael. I will be keeping a close eye on Kokabiel and his subordinates, especially that Azriel fellow. I can't quite put my finger on it but it almost looks like he has learned a Divine Technique." Michael replies to his brother, whose eyes widen at the mention of a Fallen Angel learning a Divine Technique.
The Divine Technique is a technique a few patron gods can teach their pantheons that will allow their children to surpass one another.
In this world, only three people have learned and mastered the Divine Techniques.
Sirzechs 'Lucifer' Gremory, has not only learned how to use the Bael family's Power Of Destruction but has also learned the techniques of a God of Destruction, mainly the Hakai amongst other things.
Azazel, a now Fallen Angel has access to the Divine Technique known as Solomon's Knowledge, an ability that allows him to be as wise and intelligent as King Solomon.
And finally, Michael has more than a few techniques taught to him by the Christian God.
The first one is Ultra Instinct, a technique that allows him to separate the consciousness from the body, allowing it to move and fight independently of a martial artist's thoughts and emotions. However, is stamina-draining, which is why he's been training nonstop to remove that weakness completely.
The next one is a technique that the Christian God created called the Seraphim Eyes. Using this technique, time slows down for the user, it also acts like a more transcendent version of Ultra Instinct. The eyes of this form are a bright teal blue with a clear pupil that has a line running through the top of it.
The last one is a technique called the God Eyes, which allows him to amplify his light and Holy powers a hundredfold, making him a threat against Devils, Youkai and Fallen Angels alike.
Together, they were known as 'Judeo-Faction's strongest Trio', which wasn't a bad epithet in Azazel but there were other titles that were so much better than the one they got now.
"Tch, I can't help but feel like you aren't taking this seriously," Raphael tells his brother, who sports a Cheshire grin as he taps his fingers on the table while whistling innocently.
"Hmm, maybe I am or maybe I'm waiting for Kokabiel to get all seven fragments so I can then eliminate him from existence," Michael replies.
"Michael, Raphael, you need to come. It's important." Uriel says to his siblings.
The two nod at each other and make their way to where Uriel is and find both him and their sister Gabriel staring at a television screen, which showcased what happened to a few Exorcists in Rome.
"Is that...?" Raphael asks.
"Yes, it's him. It's Azriel." Uriel replies, a tone of sadness in his voice and the sentiment was shared by all four siblings.
It always hurt them to see another Angel fall to their sins but Azriel was one of the few where it had hurt them as a family.
He was one of the few who followed the rules their Father had set out to do in terms of guarding the Sacred Gears after he got sealed.
'And then...he fell. All because he felt like Michael was too lenient on the hosts of Ddraig and Albion.' Gabriel thought to herself, a saddened expression before changing attitude in a split second.
If she couldn't save Azriel from himself, then she would make sure that his death was quick and painless.
"Hmm, I see." Michael hums to himself, a penchant look on his face as he tries to make the most of their current situation.
"What do we do now, brother?" Gabriel asks her sibling, whose eyes seemed to glow a bright teal blue before going back to their original colours.
"We need to prepare for war because I doubt Kokabiel will listen to reason when war is the only thing he's ever known. If he wants to start a Great War, then we will have no choice but to comply with his wishes." Michael replies to his sister.
"What is your plan?" Uriel asks this time.
"Uriel, I want you to contact Yasaka, Ryu of the Dragon Faction, Sirzechs 'Lucifer' and Azazel. We're going to need some firepower if we are to defeat him and his army." Michael tells his brother.
"On it." His sibling says as he leaves to complete his task.
"Gabriel, I want you to go find Irina Shidou and Xenovia Quarta and heal them of any injuries they have sustained in this fight. Once that's done, I want you to rally all of our most devoted Exorcists and warn them about the war that will take place."
"You got it!" Gabriel would then leave Heaven in search of both Irina and Xenovia in Rome.
"Now for you, Raphael, I want you to prepare our troops of Angels and have them at least be able to use Ultra Instinct Omen by the end of my war meeting with the other Factions," Michael tells his brother, who nods his head and leaves him to complete his mission.
"Right, Good luck brother." Raphael would then say before taking off into the sky as the new leader of Heaven would then look on in no particular direction and would let out a mutter.
"I can do all things through my Father who strengthens me." With that, he would begin training the techniques that his Father imparted to all of his siblings before his demise, hoping to be at least ready for when Kokabiel and Azriel would begin the war.
END!
Yeah, I know I took too long to make this chapter but I got writer's block while writing this and I was focusing on a new Naruto fic.
Besides, I doubt anyone reading this enjoys the 'arc' I'm gonna be writing but I am doing my best to put other characters in the spotlight other than the OC.
Response to reviews.
Guest 020: Thanks for giving it a shot.
AnnoyedReader: TheDarkWolfShiro's first Gamer stories had his characters add others from animes just like I did and yes, I do expect people to not like my OC in the beginning 'cause he's exactly what I would be if I was sent to DxD, a piece of shit who thinks he's unbeatable. More or less, thanks for the feedback and the criticism.
Wade 98: Forgot to add Storm to this chapter but rest assured that she will be added to the story. I admit I didn't end Bleach too fast but I got about making Jin more OP than he already was and ruining the story more than I already did.
darklingdark13: Hmm, good choice of words.
Chronosign: Gee, thanks for the attention.
nw kng: Well, DxD is a power fantasy anime so I'm using that to give him the power to match the opponents I want him to face. Besides, he was gonna get it sooner or later and I preferred to do it sooner rather than later.
theeelderman5: I didn't think Haki would be so OP since well, I didn't think about doing verse equalization and thus, thought that Haki would make him at least strong enough to contend with at least S1 Issei if the two ever met.
