The Sins' Return Chapter 18: The Prince and the Leviathan
(Que Seven Deadly Sins Ost "Sky Peace")
(Kuoh Academy)
Fortunately or not, Issei and the ORC did not see Vali or Ruby for the rest of the day. For Issei, the meeting with the White Dragon Emperor had built immense stress on him, and if it weren't for Ruby's interference he was not sure he would've held himself back.
Fortunately, the Parental Visit Event that the school was hosting, albeit a bit late, was working on relieving him on that stress. Most of the normal classes were put aside for more active ones while parents of the various students watched their children. Some like his Issei's parents and surprisingly Rias' family consisting of her brother Sirzechs and her father Zeoticus recording the whole class to the Gremory Super Devil's embarrassment.
Though he was slightly put off by the fact that actual devils of power were walking around the school like no one's business that was unfortunately not the most surprising thing of the day. What put the nail in the coffin was…
"Oi, get your beer here!" Chirped the barkeeper of the Boar Hat passing out drinks from a mobile stand to the adults. "Can't get embarrass your kids without getting a little loose. Ni-shi-shi."
Issei could not decide what more was concerning. The fact that Meliodas was here with the rest of the Sins serving drinks to the parents across the school or the fact the faculty of said school was allowing this. A student could steal one for all he knew. He would have complained if Meliodas and his parents weren't so wellacquainted if their laughter and chattering in the back was anything to go by. Rias was having it slightly better, but not as much as she saw her father starting to get woozy under the influence of the beer.
There was one sort of embarrassing moment for Issei during art class. The students were given a mold to go with two of course make something out of it. However, Issei may have let himself get a little carried away. Skip to a few minutes later and his table was surrounded by students and adults as they stared at not the one but three masterpieces of clay sculptures that he crafted.
Honestly, Issei had only left his mind drift and his hands unconsciously worked on the clay. Most would have expected Issei's infamous perverted side to put a part in it, but not exactly in this case. It was indeed a sculpture, but it was Asia to be precise and not naked to some of the male students' disappointment. But it wasn't any less appealing as Issei had made it so that Asia was wearing a beautiful nun's gown with extra detail put into the veil she used to wear. The most startling detail of the sculpture of Asia was the pair of precisely molded angel wings unfolded to their full glory and the halo on the top of her head, and Asia's hands outstretched as though giving out her grace to others.
The second sculpture was of Akeno, her figure seeming to be about to take flight as she was on her left toes. She was in outfit that was a mix of her miko and fallen angel uniform. From her back was her array of six black angel wings on their full and mighty display. If one looked closely, they would see arc of lightning going across her body.
The third was a sculpture of Rias herself, but she was neither naked nor in her Kuoh uniform. Instead, Rias was adorned in a much more fashioned, but no less revealing, outfit that resembled her appearance in her pseudo-demonic transformation. It was as though the bindings that wrapped around her form made a revealing dress that showed the curves of her side, the top of her chest, and her stomach. Her hair was whipped in the air like a cloud, and her eyes had a sharpness to them. Surprisingly, Issei had decided to give Rias twelve devil wings instead of the three pairs she has, or the soon-to-be four pairs as she nears her Ultimate-class status. It brought a small blush to Rias' cheeks at that.
The last was one of Xulean in blue chinese shirt and was settled in her Lai Tung Pai stance of her martial arts, and there was a look in her eyes that was ready for battle. Her legs were designed to reveal their toned shape and flexibility.
All four of them stood on a pedestal of the leftover clay that had Issei's symbol, the Goat Sin of Lust, engraved on it.
"Holy shit dude, that thing's amazing!"
"Look at the skilled detail on Rias though!"
"Asia looks wonderful!"
"I take back everything I said about you being a decrepit student, Issei Hyoudou!"
That last comment came from Issei's teacher, and made the Sin of Lust produce a sweat drop. At the end of the class, everyone was actually making a bid on the spot for the sculptures with prices going in the tens of thousands. Fortunately, Issei managed to keep a hold on his creation. It was only sullied by Meliodas giving him a shit eating grin as he left.
He was talking with Rias, Akeno, and Asia about his artwork, which included some teases from Akeno that may have brought up his perversion a little. He would've start groping the fallen angel much like his sensei if he didn't remember that she was also a sadist for punishment. So he wisely avoided that lest Akeno accidentally discovered he has six more spare hearts.
That was when further commotion arose when they saw the whole male student body run off to the gym while screaming something about a Magical Girl cosplay. Curious, the Gremory, the angel, the fallen, and the Sin followed the students to the destination where they found the gym a home to flashes from cameras and the loud whoops from the boys.
The center of all that attention was directed to a girl on stage posing for the cameras and wearing a pink Magical Girl outfit complete with a wand. She looked to be 14 years old of age standing at 5' 1", yet had a D-cup chest to make any girl older envious. Black hair was tied into twin pigtails and her eyes shined with a dark violet that glittered in childish joy.
To the humans she was seemingly doing a cosplay, but to the supernatural it was a different story. More so for Issei when he sensed the icy feeling of the so called girl's power that felt like he was buried in a glacier. A cold sweat was going down his forehead because he sensed that this power outclassed himself by leagues even in Balance Breaker. Only one who was this powerful that could pull off such an icy aura from her magic is Serafall Leviathan.
"Alright everyone, knock it off." Shouted Saji who took to the stage next to the Leviathan Maou. "This is still a school day, so enough of this behavior and get the hell out of here."
The group of students did leave but not without some crude verbal protests. Saji looked to the Magical Cosplay at his side and immediately froze once his senses picked up Serafall's true presence. He was also aware that the Leviathan and her little sister, his own King, do not exactly get along with the latter breaking down from Serafall's unique attitude. Worse yet, Saji could sense that his King was just about to enter the gym. When Serafall turned to Saji, who knew that he was Sona's Pawn, all she noticed was a cloud of dust, followed by a familiar yelp and the crash of the doors of the gym closing.
Outside in the halls, Sona was about to walk into the gym, but the next she knew the halls were blurring passed her as Saji carried the Sitri heiress in his arms. The panicked expression on his face did not ease her at all, and he seemed to be running as though the Demon Race had been freed.
"Saji, what is the meaning of this?!" Sona demanded.
"Serafall is here!" Saji exclaimed frantically.
Sona's eyes almost popped out of their sockets at the news. Irritation was washed away for dread that her siscon of an older sister was here of all times. Then it suddenly dawned on her that Saji was going through such drastic measures just to save Sona from the embarrassment of meeting with the Leviathan. It was in a way endearing and nice.
Sona didn't say anything else but instead held onto Saji tighter as they ran out as far as they could from Serafall.
Back with at the gym, Serafall was looking around confused at the sudden lack of people and attention until she noticed Rias, Asia, Akeno, and Issei. Her expression brightened up again to rival the sun in its brilliance and she bounced towards the ORC.
"Hi, my name is Serafall Leviathan, but you can call me Levi-tan." Serafall greeted with a pose.
The rest took it in stride with Rias and Akeno giving a respectable bow to the Leviathan Maou, and Asia perking up with her usual warm smile that rivaled Serafall. Issei, however, was feeling a little nervous when Serafall's eyes lingered upon him for a while. There was a vicious gleam in them that Issei could tell that she was barely keeping it down and do whatever she wanted on the Red Dragon Emperor for whatever she needed. Issei did know what exactly it was but he was now catching an idea of what made Meliodas nervous around the Maou.
"It's good to meet you, Levi-tan." Issei said with the best composure he could muster.
The turned out to be the best thing he could have said as he saw Serafall's eyes sparkle and little squeal muffled behind her closed lips. Issei let out a subtle sigh of relief now that little ordeal was over.
Maybe he was overreacting about the whole ordeal and the stress from fighting Kokabiel, to discovering the Biblical God is now a girl, and the fact that every leader of the Biblical Factions will be meeting here tomorrow at night. Yet the universe works in mysterious ways of screwing over one's thoughts and hopes for its own personal amusement in a way not even gods of the caliber of Yahweh and Satan are immune to. For Issei, that came into the form of Meliodas not-so-quietly making his entrance into the gym with a tipsy Ban following him.
"Yo, Issei-boyo, I saw a bunch dejected young men come from here." Meliodas called to the Sin of Lust. "I thought to myself what could have made them so sad, so I decided to come here to see what all the commotion was about."
"I bet *burp* cause they got blue-balled." Slurred Ban.
"Despite being drunk, that sounds pretty accurate." Meliodas said with a hint of surprise glancing to his long-time friend. "So Issei-"
"Me~li~kun~."
It would seem that whole world went silent when Serafall finally spoke upon Meliodas' arrival. Her voice however was completely different from the bubbly and childish feel it had to it. It carried itself with a phantom-like aura to it that chilled to the bone, yet also carrying an almost invisible sultry tone to it that somehow made it more terrifying. No one could look at Serafall when she began to release that awful aura, but if they did they would have seen Serafall's head dipped down as her bangs shadowed away her eyes and a dark blue miasma surrounded her like the cold queen that is Death.
Every male knew it as the aura of the psychotic energies of the yandere.
[Well, it's been nice knowing you, partner.] Ddraig said his last words.
'You too, bud, you too.' Issei replied solemnly, crying anime tears in the real world.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, Meliodas was the sole target of that whole aura, but his usual calm and cheery persona was gone. The moment he heard Serafall's voice. His smile became incredibly forced and his movements all but froze as though petrified.
Eventually, Meliodas turned his head ever so slowly towards the Leviathan Maou. Issei could have sworn he heard Meliodas' neck creak like a rusted door. When his eyes finally met Serafall's, hidden by the bangs of her dark hair, the whole world for just a moment went still.
"Oh hi, Sera-chan." Squeaked Meliodas, his green eyes dilating to tiny dots as they frantically looked around to find some sort of escape. "N-Nice weather we're having. Am I right?"
"Me~li~kun~!" Serafall's voice was autonomous like a groaning zombie. Give her some tears in her clothes and rotten flesh and the Leviathan Maou would actually fill the part.
"W-Wow, it s-s-sure has b-b-been a while, eh, Sera-chan?" Meliodas said, his pupils a blur over his eyes as they looked all around for some sort of escape. "… Please don't hurt me."
"Me~li~kun~." Groaned Serafall, dropping her staff and taking slow steps towards the first son of Satan.
In a blur, Meliodas' right arm went to point a finger at his ear where a red magic circle of a magical earpiece lit up. On the other side was King, who was on currently still serving drinks and food while Diane was advertising for the Boar Hat.
"King get me the fuck out of here right now! I'M SERIOUS!" Meliodas said, his voice rising to a shout as Serafall continued her approach.
"Instant tr- HRK!" Meliodas was unfortunately cut off when Serafall flashed the distance between them and clamped her hands on his shoulders like steel clamps. He, the son of Satan and one of the Top Ten strongest in the universe, had his will inert in his grip and unable to turn his eyes away. Serafall's breathing was a labored like the bated breath of a predator leering down on the neck of its prey. The son of Satan was the very prey.
Serafall finally lifted her head to face Meliodas. There was no longer that shining smile she had on, but instead her lips were set into a thin line. Her eyes however were still the same violet but they seemed to be more like chips of ice instead of the sparkle they held.
Combined with the miasma of the yandere that surrounded Serafall, those eyes made themselves the very things that stared back at Meliodas from the abyss itself.
"Do you know," Serafall said in a low tone bordering on menacing, "how long it's been? How long… I wanted to… see you again? And I wondered… 'Is he with another woman?'… 'Did he forget us?'… 'Did he forget me?'"
A pause stopped Serafall's terrifying, yet albeit saddening tirade into the son of Satan. Though her tone and aura were menacing, her words alone made Meliodas flinch with regret, and guilt for a moment took it's instead of fear when he saw a tear flow down Serafall's cheek. Then fear came back the instant Meliodas saw Serafall reach her hands towards his face, but he was frozen on the spot to do anything.
"Over seven centuries," Serafall said, a small smile gracing her features with more tears being released as she cupped Meliodas' face in her hands, "I wanted to hold your face again. To be by your side again."
"… I missed you, too." Meliodas muttered, bringing up one hand to hold the back of Serafall's head, to which she nudged into. "So… I'm back finally. Are we good?"
"Oh my, King." Instantly the sad atmosphere around Serafall switched to a more sinister aura that brought a sharp smile to Serafall's face. "Did you really think you can get away that easily, Me~li~kun?"
"I-"
"You left me… without a single word… and only sending anonymous letters… not once seeing your face." Serafall said sternly. "Proper payment is due then."
"And what would be?" Meliodas meekly asked.
"Meli-kun… Give me a baby!" Serafall proclaimed, instantly going back to her Magical Girl attitude.
That snapped the spectators from their fear-induced trance. Rias and Asia went atomic with their blushes, Akeno widened her eyes before giggling behind her hand, and Issei went catatonic before almost tripping while standing.
"BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!" Ban laughed (while also coughing out from another dead liver). "She hasn't changed at all from trying to get into your pants, Captain!"
"I assume you're joking as always." Meliodas responded.
"May~be~, BUT," Serafall exclaimed, suddenly clinging onto Meliodas' left arm in a vice grip with her, ahem assets, squishing the limp like warm pillows. "But for leaving me without so much as seeing your face for so long, I will never leave you out of my sight."
"Sera-chan, you don't have to do that." Meliodas whined. "You're the Leviathan, remember?"
"I am never leaving your sight." Serafall promised, pressing her body more upon the blonde. "I will cling to you everyday, cuddle you in your sleep, shower with you, eat with you, cook with you, and, if I have to, live with you."
"Sera-chan, you just - did you just say cook?!" Meliodas asked, getting a nod from Serafall.
Doubts in the son of Satan's head were replaced as it went into 'business' mode. His mind went on overdrive imagining Serafall working at the Boar Hat. If Serafall knew her way around the kitchen, it would lessen Diane's workload and give Kirito and Asuna some more time with their daughter Yui. Meliodas chose to glance at Serafall and imagined her in the waitress uniform. The result was very sharp and quite disturbing bright gleam to appear in Meliodas' eyes that Issei swore he saw yen signs replacing his pupils.
"Would you mind working at the Boar Hat?" Meliodas asked.
'He's actually thinking about it?!' Ban thought, too busy to speak while taking a spit-take of beer.
Serafall nodded with sparkles in her violet/pink eyes. "Anything for you, my Meli-kun."
The moment Serafall said 'my' the yandere energies came back for just a moment, but a moment enough to remind Meliodas that he can't refuse Serafall at all. Among anyone in the society of the Underworld, Meliodas and Serafall had a truly special bond for out of their odd band of powerful devils the pair were the oddest. Especially with their supposed want of staying in a child-like form and their constant cheery attitude that was seemingly unbreakable.
That also meant Serafall only listened to Meliodas and no one else. Not even her relatives had a hold on her. It was always in the end of the day that it was Serafall that clinger to Meliodas like an adorable puppy, with the exception of the long days when Meliodas was in a relationship with Eliza of the Seraphs of Heaven. On those days, it wasn't really a good day for anyone to be around Serafall in the constant aura of the yandere that made her feared in the Great War.
And one last aspect is that only Meliodas can keep Serafall in check from that side of her personality. The side that was the Serafall infamous in her battles in the Great War. Be it angel, fallen angel, or even devil all that would remain in the wake of the war 'hero' Serafall Sitri was blood. So much blood that it rained red as though the horns of the apocalypse have sounded.
The late Biblical God only knows just how terrifying that Serafall would be to the whole world, but it wasn't like he himself was any better at his worst.
Meliodas' thoughts were cut off when Serafall decided to climb onto his back and stay there by locking her legs around him. He fidgeted slightly when the Leviathan rested her chin on the blonde's shoulder, her breath sending literal chills down his spine. More so to the fact of the pleasurable feeling of the flesh pillows that are Serafall's sizable breasts pressing into his back, and he would be lying if he said that he didn't enjoy the sensation.
"Serafall, what are you doing up there?" Meliodas could not help but ask while hiding the ghost of a smile.
"I will be by your side." Serafall perked up, tightening her hold on the blonde. "As is my duty as Queen."
As she said those words, a subtle glow resonated from Serafall's chest too dim for anyone to notice except for Meliodas. Right above her bosom over her heart was the source of the glow. That glow that came from her heart took the shape of a chess piece.
The Underworld always wondered why Serafall never filled out her peerage. The answer was simple: Serafall is already a servant in the peerage of Meliodas Satan and is proud to serve him as his Queen.
She had no other reason than that, not even making her own peerage mattered to her. That is how deep and powerful her love of Meliodas was because as far as she was concerned Meliodas was her entire world.
As Meliodas and Serafall made their way out unceremoniously, the eyes of the ORC did not leave them. When the doors slammed closed behind them, Issei let out an undignified wheeze and comically fell onto his behind. His face was awfully pale, still freshly recalling the heavy aura of the yandere that threatened to crush him.
Rias on the other hand had different thoughts than just thanking herself still being alive. Those thoughts were focused on Serafall's very unique interaction with Meliodas. As far as she knew, Serafall never acted so affectionately with anyone. Sona was a different story, but with Meliodas she wasn't so pushy and was rather serene.
That smile that was plastered on the Leviathan Maou's face was even brighter compared to her interactions with Sona.
The answer was quite simple to Rias. The affection Serafall was giving Meliodas exclusively was not one for friends and even siblings. It was the kind of love where she devoted her entire heart and soul to that one person to the point Meliodas was all that mattered to Serafall. The kind of love that Rias wanted and for the first time witnessed it first-hand, and it was such an odd yet sweet scene to watch.
'But knowing Lady Serafall's personality, I don't know whether to pity or be happy for Meliodas.' Rias thought. 'On second thought, considering Meliodas and his own uniqueness, perhaps they are too perfect for each other.'
The more Rias thought on it, the more that a chilly shiver reverberated up and down her spine. Why did the thought of Meliodas and Serafall being together inflict such immense terror? If only she knew just how much the world itself was afraid of such a thing.
(Later)
Shortly after the gym episode, the ORC entered the lobby where the parents and teachers were congregated for enjoyable small talk.
Most possibly sharing stories of their kids getting embarrassed if the multitude of laughter was any indication. Of course, off to the side where most of the adults congregated were King and Diane selling out drinks to everyone.
A particular pair grabbed Issei's attention, and he recognized them as his own parents. The odd detail however was that a third was with them. Not only was the man, who wore a white suit and pants, give off the presence of an Ultimate-class devil, he looked to be a clone of Sirzechs if he grew a red beard. Imagine his surprise when he taught that very man that was casually laughing with his parents was in fact Zeoticus Gremory, the father Rias Gremory and even more so father of Sirzechs-fucking-Lucifer. A proud father the Gremory head must be to have one of his children be one of the Top Ten strongest in the universe.
At that point, Issei was just worried over the fact his parents were going to get loose over some drinks with the father of the Lucifer. A humorous laugh caught his attention to the stairs where it revealed Sirzechs himself casually walking down the steps while wearing formal attire of a black jacket and a beige shirt.
"This is just brilliant." Sirzechs said, chuckling with mirth. "And they just planned to have a sort of slumber party over at the Hyoudou residence."
Both Rias and Issei sighed, the former a bit more dejected and the latter at that point giving up at trying to stop whatever madness was soon to follow. The pair's reactions only made Sirzechs laugh again, but once he calmed down his attention went solely on the Sin of Lust.
"Issei-san, do you know where my good friend, Meliodas, is by chance?" Sirzechs asked kindly.
Issei shrugged. "Last time I saw him, Serafall was hanging off the captain's back. They both seemed… odd around each other. Do you know about this, Lord Lucifer?"
Issei didn't get a response as Sirzechs became uncharacteristically quiet. His blue eyes became comically wide and he looked to be a few shades paler. Slowly like a robot with rusted joints Sirzechs turned around, his gaze now aimless towards the window to the light as if to find some clarity in the seemingly apocalyptic news.
"My Lord? Uh, Sirzechs, are you alright?" Issei asked in concern.
"You said Serafall with Meliodas… as in both of them together, correct?" Sirzechs said, disbelief in his tone as he spoke those words.
"Y-Yeah." Issei answered nervously. "What did you expect, Lord Sirzechs?"
'I expected Serafall to rip a new asshole into Meliodas.' Sirzechs thought.
It is no secret among the 'odd bunch' of Super Devils that Serafall and Meliodas had a much more special synergy and bond apart from their little group ever since they were kids. In those very early times before the Great War, Serafall did not have the right of a childhood and was known to always be in a sad mood. She was what people would call a rainy girl, always shy of attention and seemingly downtrodden in emotion. That was due to her upbringing as the firstborn to the Sitri clan that became even more taxing on her growing up due to her larger-than-average power that made her prodigy like Meliodas, Sirzechs, Ajuka, and Falbium.
That is until she met Meliodas, or rather the moment Meliodas saw the downtrodden Serafall all he could think about doing was to make a smile on her face. And so that's how the pair first interactions were like for the first week with the son of Satan going everywhere with Serafall to get to laugh and smile. Not that anyone could stop him since even as a child he had as much authority second only to the Heretic God, Satan.
To Serafall at that time, Meliodas was like the bright sun that shined through the storm that was her life at that time. He is after all the major part that made the bubbly and quirky Serafall that she is today.
She only smiled and laughed because of him, and she followed Meliodas like a lost puppy. The son of Satan never did mind her company, always responding with that cheeky smile of his. It was at that moment when he first gave those smiles to Serafall that even Sirzechs could see the utter crush the Sitri first-born had on Meliodas.
Then there was the… apocalypse that ensued when during the Great War that he had to fall in love with the Seraph Eliza. Sirzechs' fingers twitched and terror flashed over his eyes when he thought about that - monster that Serafall became. Gabriel may be considered Serafall's rival and polar opposite, but they were not hateful towards each other. On the other hand, Serafall held nothing but hatred towards Eliza in the Great War. Hatred that Satan himself used to forge into a weapon. That particular act by the Heretic God was a turning point for Sirzechs, Ajuka, and Meliodas to think of a better Underworld.
Serafall in the Great War went by a title that fit with her: the Horn of the Apocalypse. He could still remember the blood. So much blood just remembering threatened bile to rise in his stomach. The red mist that still chilled him to the bone. Gore of not just angel and fallen angel but also human and devil raining endlessly from the sky, and the monster that possessed his friend laughing in the center of it all and thirsting for Eliza's blood the most.
And now he had to plan for the potential chaos that would ensue.
Specifically in the form of little versions of Serafall and Meliodas running around.
"Onii-sama, are you okay?" The worried voice of his little sister snapped Sirzechs out of his trance.
"I… I'm fine." Sirzechs answered hesitantly, turning back to face Rias and Issei though with a still pale face.
"Oh my, you are awfully pale there, Lord Lucifer."
The third and unfamiliar voice momentarily put the three devils on alarm, but the instant their minds processed the tone of those words they instantly relaxed. They were soothing words belonging one to a kindred spirit that knew only kindness, mercy, and care for everyone around her. The three soon found the source of the voice that came from a woman that was currently beaming them an Asia-level of a smile. She stood a little over 5'4", potentially 5'5". Long white hair flowed down her back all the way to her face, and bright blue eyes twinkling with kindness. For clothing, the woman wore a navy blue button up shirt, black stockings, a white bowtie, and a skirt with some trims.
Issei and Rias had no idea of the woman's identity, but key details revealed the woman to be more than meets the eye. For instance, she was giving off an insanely powerful holy aura which can only come from an angel of the Archangel-class. Sirzechs knew perfectly who this was.
Eliza, one of the great Seraph of Heaven and a famed one at that.
She is one of the two pairs of twins where she was made to be the twin to Lucifer as to Gabriel is to Michael. Most devils old enough to remember the Great War knew the Seraph as one of the absolute war factors in the entire war. Sirzechs knew of the powerful she once held in those days, annihilating through legions of devils before she swore an oath of pacifism. Now Eliza spends most of eternal life devoted to healing, and in most recent news being the mother to the new Supreme Goddess to succeed Yahweh.
The very same Heiress of Heaven who was also present hiding behind Eliza, her silver eyes trying her best to stray away from Sirzechs. The crimson Lucifer couldn't blame the soon-to-be godling.
To Ruby, Sirzechs is the walking manifestation of the complete destruction and extinction. He is the antithesis of her existence that revolved around creation and life, something not even Vali Lucifer can instill despite his heritage.
As much as Ruby could try shrinking behind Eliza's back, her red hood was a dead giveaway. Sirzechs gave the heiress a small and comforting smile. It did work to relax Ruby, if only slightly.
"Eliza." Sirzechs greeted. "So this is our new little goddess."
"… I'm not little." Ruby muttered under her breath.
Eliza sighed. "Of course you would know though her status won't be a secret for long to the rest of the Biblical Factions. There can't be any secrets between us if peace is to be attained. That does not mean I'm letting anyone to take advantage of my little Ruby."
At those words, Eliza's eyes narrowed into ice chips, and Sirzechs felt a shiver going through him. Eliza may have taken an oath of nonviolence she was still able to put the fear of God into anyone, no matter how powerful they are.
"That's the last thing I'd ever do." Sirzechs assured in honesty. Even he would not want the full wrath of Heaven bearing down on him.
"It's alright, Ruby." Eliza comforted Ruby, lightly patting her back. "He won't hurt you."
"I am in fact perfectly friendly according to my wife." Sirzechs told Ruby. "It's nice to meet you. I heard that you fought Kokabiel and kept my sister safe. I can't thank you enough."
"You're welcome." Ruby managed to reply.
'Cute little thing, isn't she?' Sirzechs thought. 'Huh, technically I am older than the new Biblical Goddess. Isn't that going to feel weird for the next millennia.'
"BUDDY!"
The loud and shrilly screech of a young girl halted any words Sirzechs or anyone else was going to say. Ruby went still for a moment and turned her head around so fast the wind whistled off of her. Her silver eyes locked on another young woman, possibly of seventeen years old, barreling towards her.
The girl looked to be a natural Northern European beauty with black hair tied into a single, thick braid that swept over her right shoulder, and pale skin with cheeks enriched in pink. She had a slim build with a large C-cup bust held and slender limbs. She wore very normal clothes with a long-sleeved white sweater under a brown vest, faded jeans, and blue trimmed sneakers. The oddest part of the young woman were her hetochromic eyes. Her right eye was deep amethyst while her left was an intense orange like the sun itself.
The others soon followed Ruby's line of sight to the newcomer and were practically floored by the presence she was giving off. She was certainly of the supernatural world, but even to them the woman was bizarre. Just trying to look at her made the devils' brains rack over what she really was. In short terms, the woman felt like the impossibility itself.
"BESTIE!" The surprises did not stop there as Ruby herself sprang out to meet the newcomer, and the two ran into each other's arms for a hug. It was the kind of scene one would expect of Serafall's dream of how she wanted her own sister to be like. While Rias, Akeno, and Asia looked at the hugging and laughing pair as the most bizarre attraction in the world, Issei found himself standing a certain anatomy of the two that were squishing against each other in the hug. He may or may not have had a nosebleed at that moment.
'This summit is going to be quite interesting.' Sirzechs mused mentally.
Sirzechs and Eliza on the other hand knew perfectly well who the young woman. And though she may seem and act like a human teenager, she was much older than that. The whole supernatural world in fact knew of her. She was after all Aurora Ametrine, the daughter of Amaterasu, the Shinto Goddess of the Sun and the Universe, and Asura, the Hindu Demon God of Wrath and Justice and the strongest of the Top Ten. Or rather the ultimate Nephalem.
(With Weiss)
Weiss Schnee was just looking over her weapon at the ORC building when she suddenly felt as though something was forcefully ripped out of her heart. It was as if something she held at granted yet was incredibly important was stolen from her. She didn't know why, how, or what, but what Weiss did know was that her chest just felt so cold and empty. The next Weiss knew tears were already pouring down the sides of her face. No sooner did that happen that the ORC was filled with the Ice Queen's sobs with Yang and Blake trying, if awkwardly, comforting the miserable Schnee.
The cause of it all was more vicious and deadly than any mortal blow could ever. It was a fatal attack on the heart and soul itself and it did not require any sort of conventional blow. A wound only inflicted when has lost their place in someone else's heart. In this case, Weiss was no longer the bestie of Ruby Rose.
Yeesh, I need to get my ass into gear for Roses of the Death Goddess and other shit. So yeah, Asura's Wrath is here and potentially God of War for Kratos. I was just recently playing them and I was like why the fuck not. It's DxD, when is the world not going to be potentially destroyed. It's just going to be Asura from Asura's Wrath, mostly because his backstory consists that he killed the Seven Deities and Chakravartin when they threatened to takeover the world for their own selfish ends. And we all know the hype man doesn't sit well with that.
Aurora Ametrine is my own take on an OC for the story, and you can consider her one of the more important characters in the story. Mostly because her heritage as a godly Nephalem gives her the potential to surpass both Satan and Yahweh.
And we finally got to see Serafall and Meliodas meet, and it was difficult to write considering all the other stuff I wanted to mention in this chapter. Good news is that there will be a lot more fluff of the pair in the next chapter where Escanor and Zeldris will make their appearance.
Also it would be nice to see fan art of Serafall and Meliodas.
Some new stories that came up in my head. AGAIN!
Lady of Swords, Goddess of Weapons, a RWBY and Fate/Stay
Night crossover.
Summary: "I am the bone of war. Steel is my body and fire is my blood. I rule over countless weapons. Unknown to truth, nor known to myth. Through pain and trial, I bring power to legend. Yet I shall stand on the hill, forging for perfection. There are no regrets. I seek the ultimate victory. My soul… is UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS!" From the breath of fire, a world of endless blades is made. She had all the weapon she needs. Do you? RubyXGil.
Shin Yokai, a Naruto/Highschool DxD crossover.
Summary: Sasuke was gone, and Naruto was next to follow. But as the gutsy ninja is, he rather sacrifice himself than let Kaguya live. In that sacrifice, Naruto gave the greatest gift Kurama and three of his siblings could ask for: a new life. Reborn with greater chakra of his siblings, Kurama, Shukaku, Son Goku, and Matatabi finds themselve in a world wrought with greater danger. But Kurama will not succumb to his wickedness again and instead rise up to protect those around him like the knucklehead did. For his own precious people. Yokai Kurama. KuramaXYasaka. Rated M.
Up next is Chapter 19.
