Chapter 91:
When Sirzechs and the others heard Irene words they become taken aback for a completely different reason... Trihexa will break free from its seal? What?!
Just when they're about to say something at Irene's group they are cut off by them.
Irene - There's no need to be alarmed. Just who do you think our husband is? He's the strongest existence in the universe.
Irene said to them with a prideful voice but she kept quiet about Nyarlathotep because even she is not sure about it... She believes Issei will be able to defeat it but she's still worried regardless. The same goes for the other girls.
Irene - Issei already suspected the sealing of Trihexa went too smoothly before. That's why he informed Rossweisse about it, and his suspicion is proven to be true... You can rest assured that he will be able to handle Trihexa quite easily.
They swallowed their words back to their throats when they heard her words.
Irene - Now then... Bring those fools with us.
The army was about to carry Rias's group with them but their parents blocked them saying that they will be the one who will do it instead because they don't trust them. It's a given considering how they're tortured by them just a moment ago...
They wanted to refuse to bring Rias's and her peerage with them but they know that Irene's party wouldn't allow that to happen so they can only sigh bitterly and comply with their order since it is their daughters who're at fault here...
Irene told them it's fine as long as they will be coming with them.
Semiramis then told Francis Drake to summon <Ryuuteimaru> again and told them all to board it and then they headed to the Trihexa sealing location.
Sirzechs's group are feeling apprehensive at first but soon they board the ship as well... They are still feeling disbelief seeing how much have <Ryuuteimaru> changed compared to back then.
The bystanders are also feeling out of this world seeing the army of <ECH> company but they have a different opinion of Rias's group now... They never thought the famous Rias Gremory and her peerages would betray the legendary <Sekiryuutei>.
They literally mistook a pearl with a fisheye this time around... Thinking they found a diamond and abandoned the seemingly normal looking rock but in the end, the diamond is a complete fake while the rock is the true treasure... Truly a fool...
The whole world will know what transpired here and from now on they will despise and mock Rias Gremory peerage for their stupidity... Their reputation will hit rock bottom immediately.
But for now, they decided to just follow them instead because they all wanted to see what's going on with Trihexa. Each of them immediately used their own transportation method whether it's by teleportation, train, etc.
They don't dare ask the <ECH> company for a lift less they will earn their ire...
When all of them are aboard they headed for the trihexa location straight away. They opened a dimensional rift to travel there... But Sirzechs group are being watched closely by the army except for a select few that are left alone by them such as Vali's group, Odin, Sona, Elmenhilde, etc.
Irene's group comfortably sat on their respective chair once more while mockingly watch Rias's group who's still unconscious in their parents embrace.
The treatment they receive is completely different such as Odin who's basically Rossweisse grandfather are treated like a VIP.
He's served with all kinds of beverages and food alike by the maids on board. Odin honestly still feel awkward but he's also feeling kind of happy about it since his "granddaughter" is smarter compared to Rias's group.
He started ogling some of the maids... They let him do as he pleases since all he does is only looking at them and not touching anyway. And besides, that just means that they are attractive enough for being able to attract a God himself.
Rakia - Odin-sama, we don't mind if you just looking at our employees but please don't let your hands wander around since most of them decided to dedicate their lives for Issei-sama.
Rakia voice resounded nearby Odin who's flinched slightly after hearing her words.
Most of the maids here are a combination of the girls that Issei saved. Some of them are from the Evenicle world aka the Ex-Outlaw girls. They are eternally grateful at Issei so they decided to dedicate their lives for him... Issei told them that they owe him nothing and free to go wherever they like but they still choose to serve him...
It would be very stupid of them to abandon such perfect master anyway.
Irene - Well, that's just how he is. He's basically your typical perverted gramps but he's way better compared to that Odin from the <Netherworld>.
Irene said out of nowhere.
Odin and the others who heard her words are a bit confused.
Semiramis - Hmm, judging from your faces you're curious on what we're talking about right? Well... There was also a God named Odin from our world and he's much stronger than you.
Semiramis continued Irene's words and she pointed at Odin.
Semiramis - He's a complete tyrant. He treated his subordinates and "Daughters" alike as if they are tools... At one point, he saw Scathach here and wanted to claim both her and her <Gae Bolg> at the same time since he's not content with just the prototype.
Semiramis look at Scathach who's by her side with a smile.
Scathach who heard her words smiled blissfully remembering that time. Her smile manages to captivate a lot of the male onlookers'.
Even the Gods who feared her is the same because her smile is so devastatingly beautiful...
Semiramis - At first, Ise warned him but Odin disregard his warning and in the end, Ise immediately set off to his location without a second delay and single-handedly killed him. And along with Odin's fall... The Gods faction over there is no more...
Semiramis said in a carefree manner.
But everyone there sucked in a cold breath of air hearing that Issei erased a behemoth of a faction with such ease.
Scathach - Um, and those who surrendered themselves are left alone while all of the Valkyries decided to follow Ise instead. That time was really magnificent if I say so myself... We killed a fair amount of Gods and Demi-Gods alike... Good time.
Scathach nodded to herself while some of the girls smile wryly at her since not all of them are a battle maniac, obviously...
Forzelotte - But along with it, the Goddesses became an annoying pest that keeps trying to seduce him...
Forzelotte said annoyedly at the end.
She doesn't really mind Ise having a harem but she doesn't want any woman who only aims at superficial things such as they only wanted to court him just because of his status as the <Supreme Overlord> and the like.
Forzelotte herself knows that Ise will never love such woman but still... It's best to be careful rather than sorry.
They are feeling immensely curious at Issei now... They even starting to doubt if they're talking about the same Issei they know here. Because from their description of him it seems so... Surreal...
Sun Wukong - Kahahaha, you better believe it since I saw him face to face before and I can tell you that he is indeed the Sekiryuutei Boy that all of you used to know... Well... Maybe not? Since he's way too different compared to back then? Perhaps his attitude changed after being betrayed? Hmm...
Sun Wukong at first tried to clear their doubt but in the end, he's also feeling confused as for Issei transformation... He started rubbing his chin in confusion.
Irene - Heheh, indeed... If compared to my old partner then he indeed looks like a completely different person but his current personality is his true personality... You see, during his childhood, Ise met Forzelotte here...
Irene then proceeded to tell them about Issei's childhood...
When they listened to Irene's story they felt speechless... For one, they are in awe knowing that even during his childhood Issei still willing to put his life on the line for a stranger he just met.
But... They never thought that his super perverted personality is because of this woman named Forzelotte messed up with her sealing magic... His memory got altered along with his personality at that...
Forzelotte - Hmph! At least because of my little mistake, we can avoid having these insects as our fellow sisters.
Forzelotte scoffed while looking at Rias and her peerages who already woke up. They look like a doll with no string attached with how hollow and distressed they look now... If they don't see their chest heaving up and down then people might think that they are already dead...
They were looking down to the ground with no movement whatsoever but when they heard Irene story about him they started to react a little bit and look up towards them.
Rias - ...please...
Rias hoarse and low voice resounded from her mouth.
Rias - ...please let us meet him...
She begged at Irene's group despite her fear of them. Her body is shivering in fear and desperation... The same goes for the other girls from her peerage.
They started chimed in Rias's words and begged them as well...
Their parents can only hold their tears seeing their daughters situation but there's nothing they could do... This is the mistake they've made on their own and only they themselves could fix it...
Jalter - Huh?!
Jalter stands up from her seat with a growl while looking at Rias's group.
Jalter - And then what? What will you do when you meet him?! You want to trick him once again with your sweet words and lies?!
She glared coldly at them.
Rias - No!
Rias immediately denied Jalter claim with every last bit of effort she could muster.
Rias - I... I just want to say that I'm sorry to him... We all do...
She slumped down once more to the ground with tears streaming down her face. But she's also hoping that when Issei heard their explanation as for why they dated Reiji's group he would forgive them.
But she doesn't say that out loud because that's just a selfish wish of hers...
Semiramis - If you think just apologizing will fix everything then you all are really stupid... But no matter, you all will meet him soon enough. If Ise will forgive you then we will spare your pathetic lives... If not then... You best say your farewell to your families.
Semiramis narrowed her eyes at them and said with a cold voice. She also gave them all a false hope thinking that if Issei forgives them then they could avoid death... It's not like they really aiming for their lives. They wanted to see them wail in regret more than anything and killing them will just let them have the easier way out...
Jalter then scoffed at them one last time before she went back to her seat.
Sirzechs looks down and gritted his teeth in regret... Regret because of his over spoiling his little sister she became what she is now... If only he's a bit stricter with her then perhaps they could avoid all this from happening... The same goes for Venelana and Zeoticus.
Rias who heard Semiramis words have a little bit of light returned to her eyes. The other girls also the same...
Grayfia - Excuse me, but I have a proposal.
Grayfia suddenly said towards Semiramis's group from behind Sirzechs.
All eyes instantly went to her location but she doesn't look disturbed in the slightest.
Semiramis - Hmm? Oh, and do tell us about your proposal.
Semiramis said in amusement.
Grayfia - If by chance Issei doesn't forgive them then, I volunteered myself to be Rias replacement... Life for life is a fair trade, I would assume?
Grayfia said with a calm face but those around her are taken aback especially Rias, Venelana, Zeoticus and the like.
Sirzechs only smile bitterly because they've already discussed this beforehand... If by chance Rias's life is in danger because of Issei then Grayfia would propose for an exchange herself... And that exchange is, of course, Grayfia herself.
Sirzechs at first doesn't agree to this but since they're not really husband and wife he can't do anything to stop her...
Some of the Devils group tried to stop her but she ignores their voice and only looks at Semiramis waiting for an answer.
Zeoticus also tried to stop her since Grayfia is the "Mother" of his "Grandson" after all.
Venelana - If that's not enough then I also volunteered myself to replace my daughter position.
Venelana chimed in after Grayfia and this time Zeoticus finally couldn't keep calm any longer and tried to stop them both as well.
Semiramis - Hoo... Life for a life... Indeed, that sounds fair...
Semiramis mused with a calculating glint in her eyes.
Rias - No! Mom, Grayfia! Ise will surely forgive us so there's no need to do this!
Rias hastily muster her voice hoping to stop them both.
Venelana - ...Just in case he doesn't forgive you, honey.
Venelana said in a forced smile and reassurance because even she knows that the chance for that to happen is close to impossible... She can only sigh bitterly seeing how delusional her daughter is...
Perhaps this is the cause of her poor upbringing... She was too busy as a mother to raise her daughter properly and Sirzechs doesn't fare any better, the same goes for Zeoticus. You could say that they're also responsible for this whole incident...
But she's also feeling disappointed at Zeoticus because he never volunteered himself to replace herself or their daughter place... To be honest, their marriage life is so cold and boring... They barely interact with each other in their own household.
Only in front of guests and their other family member they started acting like a true husband and wife. Zeoticus keep visiting his concubines and mistresses place instead of her own legal wife. He barely cares and neither did she... Their whole marriage is because of political reason after all.
The public only knows that they married each other because of love while the truth is far from that...
Then the others also follow up wanting to trade their lives for their respective daughters.
Baraqiel for Akeno, Ravel by her mother as well... While Xenovia have Griselda and Irina is her father volunteering to take their place.
Only Asia doesn't have any substitute but that soon changed with Kiba saying that he will take her place. Gasper wanted to say something but Kiba told him that he has Valerie to take care off so Gasper can only stay silent after that.
Semiramis's group narrowed their eyes at them while thinking about something...
Semiramis - Very well... I will take your offer. If by chance Ise doesn't spare your pathetic lives then... You know the rest. Now sign this contract to finalize our deal.
Semiramis created a soul contract to which they sign in agreement. Soul contract as its name implies is a contract where their soul is the payment if they were to break the pact... If they don't fulfill their end of the bargain then their very own soul will be forfeited.
When she saw them finished signing the contract, she flashed a victorious grin that went unnoticed by the other group because this is what she's aiming for...
Semiramis - And as for you, Kiba Yuuto, was it? Drink this potion... Don't worry, it's not a poison.
Semiramis suddenly pointed at Kiba who just finished signing the contract and toss a flask of pink-colored potion to him.
Kiba only looks at it for a second before he drank that potion without hesitation.
Then something happened to his body...
...
During their way to the Trihexa sealing location which is <Agreas>, A large city that is located in the Agares territory which is being maintained by the servants of the current Beelzebub. It has a distinctive feature in which it appears to be a large floating island suspended in the sky. A popular tourist resort, it is also the place that controls the flow of the air in the Underworld. <Agreas> is a place that has the technology of the Original Satans and contains the essential crystals of the highest quality that is used to create both the Evil Pieces and Brave Saints.
They should've been able to arrive there instantly with the help of Semiramis's group dimensional travel but they slow down their traveling speed on purpose.
One of the reason is so that they could "Negotiate" which has been fulfilled not long ago while the last reason is so they can chat for a little bit.
When they found out about Kuroka being "Reincarnated" as a Dragon by Issei they are really surprised. No wonder she has this Dragon aura around her before, Tannin and Tiamat thought to themselves...
Azazel is quite interested in the whole process so he asked Kuroka for details but her answer left all of them speechless...
Kuroka - Lots and lots of lovey-dovey session with Ise!
She yelled with a joyful smile.
They thought she's just kidding at first but when they saw the other girls such as Ramius, Riche, Gurigura, etc nodding to her statement they become even more speechless...
Rias's group are eyeing them with envy and jealousy running at full throttle. Even Koneko gazes at Kuroka like that.
All of them are also a bit confused with Irene being the former Ddraig Y Gooch... How come "he" is a woman now? But Irene doesn't want to tell them the reason for that, obviously...
She showed them the classic <Boosted Gear> to make them believe her being the <Sekiryuutei>.
Just like where they chat with Odin they also have a little chat with Grayfia, Serafall, Sona, Gabriel, etc.
They wanted to assess their worth and so far they're more or less pretty much satisfied.
During their introduction, they also acquaintanced themselves with the <ECH> army.
They never thought that Issei will have his own army of Angels and Devils alike... The Phenex family for one is in awe seeing Paniverna who has a higher rank bloodline than them. The same goes for the Angels and the other Devils alike.
They also never thought that almost every women present here is his women... Azazel smiles proudly while some smiles wryly and even felt envious of him, Saji for example also felt envious of him but he earned another pinch by the two women by his side... But one thing they had in common inside their mind is that he finally achieved his dream and become a true Harem King... Nay, perhaps a True Harem God is more precise.
Each piece of the information they receive made them went numb with speechlessness and awe... Heroic spirit? Overlords? And many more?
But even an idiot could tell that they alienated Rias's group. They treated them as if they don't exist... At least it's better rather than to have them torture them again.
Obviously, Gasper and Kiba are an exception to this and they are treated normally by them.
Although, every time they heard Issei's achievement they become increasingly curious and felt bitter about it...
Bitter because they basically just lost a strong ally for themselves... If it wasn't for Rias's group stupidity then they would've still had Issei with them now... Some of the devils felt indignant but there's nothing they could do since Rias is the little sister of Maou himself.
Rias's group are feeling shameful when they're being gazed with such disdain and disappointment by the others... Sairaorg for one felt very disappointed with her.
They then keep on absorbing any information they could get until they finally arrived...
Semiramis - We have arrived.
Semiramis said and then she opened another rift opening.
When the opening is created they can see the city of <Agreas> along with a giant dome-like barrier at its center. And inside that barrier is Trihexa itself.
Surrounding those barriers are the guards stationed by the faction leaders... Is how it was supposed to be but what they saw is hundred upon hundreds of what seemingly a Valkryie army... But those Valkyries doesn't belong to Odin...
They have a different aura and temperament compared to Odin's Valkyries, their armor is also completely different from Odin's Valkyries... And what's more obvious is that they are wearing a specific outfit with the <ECH> insignia on them. Their outfit also looks way better and advanced compared to theirs.
So it's safe to assume that they are the Valkyries Issei "recruited" from the other Odin himself.
Odin is feeling stupefied much less the others... They then saw some of those Valkyries are forming a line at a certain direction and when they follow those lines they saw Rossweisse herself.
Rossweisse appears to be conversing with someone in a black and crimson outfit. She has this bright and loving smile on her face when she's talking with this unknown individual... She's also hugging this person left arm at the moment and they look like a couple.
This individual is wearing a unique looking black mask on his head. He has a perfect and chiseled body that manages to make all the female onlookers' heartthrob and blush just by looking at his broad and wide back.
He has a tall and lean figure yet also fit at the same time, his body can only be described as utter perfection as if sculpted by God himself. His outfit consists of a black long jacket with a crimson outline and with an Eastern Dragon image at the back and underneath it, he's wearing a white and black shirt.
(AN: Basically the novel cover outfit).
He's also wearing a black glove on both of his hand and on top of those gloves is the <ECH> insignia but compared to the normal <ECH> logo, his logo has a King's crown on top of it.
Overall, he looks extremely cool and amazing to the eyes of the onlookers'. This person is obviously Issei himself.
Rossweisse outfit herself is also very beautiful and frilly compared to her usual suit. While the loli trio outfit looks very cute instead... They're wearing a custom made baby doll dress made for their own sizes.
Sona who saw Issei had her eyes widened since it's the exact same mask she saw back then... And the same exact figure as well, no... Perhaps his figure becomes even better now... You're telling her that person is Issei himself?
By his side, there's not only Rossweisse but also Ophis, Lilith, Tio, Tilt, Towa, Sora, Da Vinci, Kunou, etc.
The Valkyries are standing behind them with devoted and endless respect on their faces. Brunhild stands close by them as well with her spear out in the open while observing the area with her keen eyes in case something goes wrong.
Odin eyes instantly homing in on Rossweisse and he heaved a sigh of relief seeing her fine and well. Although he's been told that she's fine but seeing is believing.
The group then approached by the stationed guards with confusion showing on their face since they know Rossweisse well so they are honestly not sure what to do about this whole scenario. But now that their superior is here they can take it easy.
Odin's group told them that it's fine and then they changed their attention towards Issei once again.
Da Vinci - Hmm, so the one that's being sealed inside this dome is the Trihexa you've told me about before, master?
Da Vinci asked curiously at Issei.
Issei - Ah.
Issei answered briefly.
Da Vinci - Although I could sense its power only slightly since the seal is getting in the way, it indeed possesses quite the immense power... But... It's still far too weak if compared to you, right master?
Da Vinci smiled teasingly at Issei.
Issei only gives Da Vinci a light nonchalant shrug.
Rossweisse - Of course Ise is stronger than some measly Trihexa! He's my dear husband after all!
Rossweisse pumped out her chest proudly as if she's trying to brag to everyone who's around although most of the person here already knows that so they can only smile wryly at her statement.
Issei also smiles wryly at her under his mask before he patted her head gently.
Rossweisse giggled happily being patted by him while Kunou pouted a little seeing their interaction.
Rias's group eyes instantly locked onto Issei's form the moment they saw him... And for some reason, they could instantly tell that it is indeed their Issei the moment they laid their eyes on him.
They couldn't contain their tears of joy when they saw him.
Issei - Looks like they've arrived.
Issei saw <Ryuuteimaru> along with Semiramis's group arriving here. He also saw Rias's group but he doesn't have any reaction at all when he saw them.
Rias's group joyful face froze when they saw how Issei doesn't react at all when he saw them... Even though he's wearing a mask they know that he just saw them but he doesn't have any reaction at all... His gaze doesn't even stay for 1 millisecond on them and went to Semiramis's group straight away.
Well, maybe his gaze stays for a couple of seconds but he's not looking at them but at Gasper instead.
Jalter who saw their frozen face sneered at them before she, along with the other girls went to Issei's direction. They are followed by the army of Overlords, Kalar, and Heroic spirit as well.
They landed their ship not too far from Issei location.
The line of Valkyries group opened a path for them to pass while the army from Semiramis's party just now joined their rank and formed another row of a platoon as well making the already imposing Valkyrie army more intimidating.
They bowed respectfully at Semiramis's group when they pass by them. Rossweisse let go of Issei's arm and smiled welcomingly at them as well.
Da Vinci went to meet up with her fellow heroic spirits and have a little chat with them.
Semiramis's party - Dearest/Beloved/Master/Milord/Darling!/Ise!/Otouto-kun~/Ise-nii!/Ise-san!
Semiramis instantly gave Issei a hug the moment they reached his location. When she settled inside his embrace, Semiramis mewled in satisfaction.
Then Issei is surrounded by the others as well. Yasaka gave Kunou a hug too.
Scathach - Oh, nice new outfit you got there, baka deshi. I assume this is Tio and Tilt new design? Very nice indeed.
Scathach amusedly looks at Issei in his new outfit and she got to say that he's indeed looking very stunning in it.
Tio and Tilt smiled at Scathach praise.
Issei - You should make a new dress as well, Shishou. Of course, I don't really mind seeing your usual outfit so it's just a suggestion of mine.
Scathach - M-Muh, a dress you say? I'm more comfortable with this kind of outfit but if you insist then I shall do so later... You will be accompanying me, obviously.
Issei - Yes, ma'am.
Issei encircled his arms around her waist and smiled fondly at her under his mask.
Scathach - F-Fumu, good.
Scathach blushed slightly seeing how Issei suddenly gave her a hug out of nowhere but she doesn't resist it in the slightest.
Even though Issei already defeated Scathach he never stops calling her Shishou since, for both of them, that nickname has a special feeling to it.
The onlookers' are dumbfounded seeing how tame and happy their face looks when they're around Issei. Even the normally fierce-looking Jalter smiled happily when she's standing next to Issei.
Issei - So, you girls had fun in your "Girls night out"?
Issei asked teasingly at Irene's party.
Irene - You could say that. It's so fun that we got to let out some steam off.
Irene answered back in a teasing manner.
Issei - Is that so? Good to know then.
Issei smiled at them under his mask.
Issei - And thank you for accompanying them on their "Girls night out", all of you.
He looked at the newly arrived army and thanked them.
Shuten - You're very welcome, Your Majesty~. It's been our pleasure to accompany them. But it would be nice if you can take me on a date later.
Ibaraki - Shuten's right, Buchou! And if possible I want your cooking as a reward!
Raikou - Maa~ no need to thank your mother, Ise-chan... You can just give me a hug instead~
Francis - Hahahaha! No need to thank us, boss! Just have a drink with us sometimes will ya?
Musashi - Ooo~ that's a good idea! Let's have a drink sometime soon, milord!
Okita Alter - I second that.
X Alter - Three.
Jalter - Fat chance!
One by one they answered back while Jalter once again blocked the Heroic Spirits advances towards Issei.
Each of them has a different reaction when they saw Issei now... The Angels and Fallen Angels thought Issei was their "God" when they saw him for the first time because of the amount of Karma he possesses...
The Devil faction also felt the same as them but for the Gods faction, it's a completely different thing... They can't really tell the divinity Issei possess but they could guess that it's by far the strongest divinity they've ever felt... They are wondering just what is it...
Even Shiva can't measure his overall strength but just the fact that he couldn't sense anything from him is something else...
He can't see through him at all nor could he predict his future.
While the Dragons group such as Tiamat or Tannin felt a sudden urge to just kneel towards Issei. They could still resist it when they met Irene before but Issei is on a whole another league compared to her and they could barely resist the urge.
Vali grinned slightly while looking at Issei and his battle maniac side is itching for a fight with him. Sairaorg is still having a mixed feeling about Rias's case.
While Le Fay, Elmenhilde, Bennia group face turned a little red just by gazing at Issei's form and they still haven't seen his true face... The same goes for the other girls from their group like Gabriel, Serafall, Sona, Grayfia, and even the mother's group also blushed slightly when they saw him now... It's like he has this natural allure to attract the opposite sex with ease... And they still haven't seen his face yet!
They're dying to see just what's under that mask...
Semiramis peeked at the group of women blushing face and smirked to herself before she changed her attention back towards Issei.
Semiramis - Dearest~
She cooed Issei's name with such allure that manages to make the male onlookers' body shivers in arousal. They wish she would call their name with such tone...
Semiramis sneaked inside Issei's embrace once again.
Issei - What's wrong, Semi?
He asked the alluring woman that's currently inside his embrace.
She doesn't say anything but she reaches out her hand towards Issei's mask and then she channeled a bit of her magic to deactivate the mask.
*Cling* *Clack* *Clack*
The mask started unfolding themselves and before long they're socketed back to Issei's collar and turned into a necklace with a mini version of the mask hanging around his neck.
And for everyone there, they who never saw Issei's new face before felt like the time around them froze entirely without a single exception. Whether it be male or female alike... Even they who already saw his face before blushed slightly with an enamored look on their face.
Because what they saw is an out of this world face that able to smitten anyone who saw it... It's the most handsome and graceful face they've ever seen in their entire life.
That manly, yet graceful and delicate face at the same time, those gentle yet sharp wine-red colored eyes, his shoulder-length lustrous jet black hair with a tinge of red at the tip of his hair... All of that coupled with his gentle smiling face while gazing at the woman inside his embrace made all of the girls on the vicinity swoon over him immediately, some even had a slight nosebleed such as Le Fay and Elmenhilde.
Everything about him is really perfect and charming they thought to themselves...
While Rias's group had their eyes wide open along with their mouth after seeing Issei's current face... If they think Reiji's group faces were handsome before this then they will think that their face is only average at best now...
They could still see the similarity of Issei's old face with his current one. His face contour is pretty much the same just more manly and adult-like and also extremely handsome at that...
Kuroka - He's really charming right, nya?
Kuroka asked the newcomers group.
They unconsciously nodded to her question while still looking at Issei.
Kuroka - Just like what all of you heard before, Elder sister Forzelotte messed up a little back then but she set it so her seal will automatically disappear when Ise reaches 18 years old in age... If only all of you waited a little bit longer then you should have met the current him during his 18th birthday. But you choose those men, no... Trashes, over him...
Kuroka explained towards the group but then she looked at the dumbfounded Rias's group. She sighed to herself while looking at Koneko with sadness... But then she looks away from them and walked towards Issei's location to join the rest of the girls.
Rias and her peerage who heard her words bite their lips in frustration and regret...
Issei - Hm?
Issei tilted his head to the side slightly with a little confused face on why she took off his mask and while looking at Semiramis, his gentle smiling face is still there but this action of his made all of the female onlookers' heartthrob greatly and their face started blushing profusely. Some of the girls had hearts on their eyes and some of the men slapped themselves and started saying "I'M STRAIGHT! I'M STRAIGHT!" just like a certain someone before.
Semiramis - There we go... It's nothing, dearest. It's just that I want to see your face right now.
She smiled at Issei before she kissed him straight on the lips which make the female onlookers' felt envious because they wish they're in her position right now.
Issei at first was a bit taken aback with her sudden kiss but before long he started reciprocating her kiss as well.
Seeing their hot kiss, the innocent type female onlookers' faces turned red like a tomato while the experienced one such as the mothers' group started fidgetting a bit while they're biting their lips lightly. Some even licked their lips such as Venelana herself...
While Rias's group eyes turned red with anger and jealousy seeing that their Issei is kissing another woman right in front of their eyes.
After a few minutes, they've finally stopped their kiss.
Rias - Ise!
Rias shouted Issei's name hoping to gain his attention but he doesn't even glance at her and only stroke Semiramis's cheek gently which earned the latter another mewl of happiness.
Rias anger and trepidation grew and just when she's about to shout his name once again, there's suddenly a group of people surrounding Rias and her peerages with weapons aimed at them.
One of them being Brunhild herself.
Brunhild - Cease your action or there will be consequences. You are unworthy to call his name.
Rias - !?
She aimed her spear right at Rias's throat and that manages to shut up the latter for good.
Brunhild looks at Rias with a cold gaze because they know Rias's group buffoonery as well.
The atmosphere instantly turned at daggers drawn with Sirzechs group tried to say something but they are blocked by the rest of the Valkyries.
Their respective mothers finally snapped out of their daze and hurriedly cover their daughter.
Venelana - Wait! We already have a deal with Lady Semiramis!
Venelana shouted at Brunhild.
The other parents also hurriedly chimed in with her words. There's also a girl with long light blonde hair standing in front of Asia.
She has a very cute and beautiful face, blue eyes and a mole underneath her left eye. Her outfit for some reason is Kuoh Academy's boy uniform but it still can't hide her bountiful asset. She has quite a big breast and firm butt.
Brunhild - A deal?
Brunhild stopped her action and look at Semiramis direction for a confirmation.
Issei - A deal?
Issei repeated the same words Brunhild just said with confusion showing on his face.
Semiramis - Ah, I indeed made a deal with them.
Semiramis said in a teasing grin.
Only after hearing Semiramis confirmation that Brunhild's party put down their weapon.
Issei - ...And is that you, Kiba?
Issei then looked at the girl that's currently in front of Asia.
The girl smiled wryly at Issei before confirming his guess.
Kiba - H-Hello, Ise-kun...
"She" waved at Issei at the same time she greeted him.
This woman is indeed Kiba Yuuto himself. The potion Semiramis gave him before is a potion specially made to change a person gender.
Issei rubbed his forehead after that and then he changed his attention back at Semiramis.
Issei - Semi...
Semiramis - Hmm? What's wrong, dearest?
She flashed a bright smile at Issei as if she doesn't know what he's talking about.
Issei - ...How come my friend now turn into a girl?
Issei asked her while the corner of his mouth started twitching a bit.
Kiba who heard Issei's words at first become dumbfounded before she unconsciously covered her mouth and cried a bit seeing that Issei still thought of "him" as a friend. She doesn't know this action of her looks very lady-like...
Semiramis - Hmm~, who knows?
Semiramis playfully said.
Issei sighed wryly at her... He could more or less guess why she's doing this but...
Semiramis - Fufufu, fine... I changed his gender because I thought it would be more fun that way and since he couldn't do his job as a man and also as a friend, I decided to just change his gender as his punishment... Sure he's that woman Knight but that doesn't give him any excuse to fail his duty as your friend, dearest.
Issei - ...
Semiramis - And also...
Semiramis look at Kiba before continuing her words.
Semiramis - "He" is actually a girl when he was born anyway... His gender might be changed by those people who experimented on him. Probably because they thought that a man has more chance of success compared to a girl.
Semiramis know this because she could see Kiba soul.
Issei is a bit taken aback after hearing her words and he's not the only one, even Kiba herself is taken aback because she doesn't know anything about this... The other onlookers' also felt the same as him. But right before he was about to say something towards Semiramis, the ground under them shakes fiercely.
*GRUMBLE!*
The dome barrier that's currently sealing Trihexa also cracked a bit after that sudden earthquake.
They all changed their attention towards the seal and Sirzechs group faces turned dire seeing that the seal is almost broken but from Issei's side they look pretty nonchalant.
Odin - I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation, Issei-kun, but I believe we have a more important matter to attend to?
Odin said towards Issei. Sirzechs and the others also feeling the same as him but since they're kind of in an awkward position right now they let Odin do the talking.
Issei - Hmm... Indeed. Considering that Trihexa isn't really sealed after all this time.
Issei said calmly while looking at Trihexa location. He decided to put his conversation about Kiba's case on hold for now.
Odin's party instantly get taken aback by Issei's words.
Odin - What do you mean by that?
He's a bit confused by what Issei said but he's not the only one.
Rossweisse - What Ise saying is that Trihexa only seem to be sealed but in fact, it's not sealed at all... It let itself to be "Sealed" by us while it keeps multiplying its army inside that very seal without our knowledge... There's more than a million Scale Armor Imitation inside.
Rossweisse started explaining in place of Issei.
Odin - What?!
Odin shouted at Rossweisse. Millions she said?!
Their faces become horrified and pale after hearing Rossweisse words.
Even Vali face turned solemn after hearing it.
He still remembers that it almost took him everything he got just to wipe those Scale Mail imitations the last time.
Both him and Issei also hand in hand tried to hit everything they got at Trihexa itself back then but to no avail... Thankfully it got "sealed" by them all or things would take a turn into a much worser state... But right now it seems it indeed turn into the worst condition possible.
Vali - How did you know about all this, Issei Hyoudou?
Vali asked Issei with curiosity.
Issei - Oh? Well, you could say that I use something similar to clairvoyance magic.
Issei answered Vali question that's also what everyone wanted to know.
The bystanders that arrived here immediately wanted to leave the location but they also wanted to see the upcoming fight so they're in a dilemma.
Rossweisse - There's no need to be worried, we have Ise here with us!
Rossweisse pushed her chest forward once more as if she's the one who took all the credit.
They then stopped in their tracks and gaze at Issei once more. For some reason, when they saw his calm and collected figure they felt like their fear started to dissipate and felt safer.
Issei extended his right arm and started accumulating his magic and aura into it.
There's suddenly a massive amount of magic and aura pressure descending into the surrounding area that manages to make the onlookers' felt goosebumps and awe.
The wind started bellowing and the air around Issei started shaking and tearing as if there's going to be a huge calamity descend upon Trihexa location.
Issei - Catastrophic-
Just when Issei about to launch his magic, he's stopped by Semiramis.
Semiramis - Wait, dearest.
She extended her hand to Issei's extended hand and it manages to stop Issei's chant.
Issei stopped his action and look at Semiramis once more.
Semiramis - Don't you think that it's a great chance for us to increase our strength?
Semiramis said with a smile.
Issei - Oh?
Ramius's party eyes started shining after hearing Semiramis words because they completely agree to it. They think that this is surely the perfect chance to increase their strength even further.
They then gaze at Issei waiting for his permission.
Issei who saw their expecting gaze smiled gently at them before he lowered his extended hand altogether.
Issei - Heheh, fine then... But don't think that I will let you all go alone.
Odin was about to remind Issei that it would be best to do whatever he was about to do just now before Trihexa breaks free from the seal but what he saw next instantly made his entire body froze.
Issei then put his hand on top of his chest before he started chanting.
Issei - In the name of Issei Savant Hyoudou the Supreme Overlord of the Netherworld, Conqueror of Life and Death, and The true ruler of Infinite hope and dreams... Heed my call, <Hanging Garden of Babylon>.
There's a huge portal appeared right above Issei's location and from it, the massive Fortress of Babylon showed itself to the denizen of this world.
*GRUMBLE!*
From the portal itself, there are a bunch of wyverns and dragons alike flying out of it roaring in the sky answering their King calls.
There are also some people riding those very same Wyvern and Dragon.
One of them being Suisen herself, one of the <9 Divines> that's currently riding a serpentine white-colored Dragon.
The <Hanging Garden of Babylon> is followed by the miniature version of it, as in the new addition to the fortress such as <Sky Island> from Evenicle world and many more. They are connected in a way to Babylon itself so you could say that they're basically one entity now.
There's also some advanced technology that looks like a massive airplane and spaceship.
Then from those fortresses and the like, there's suddenly a hundred thousand upon thousands of people pouring out.
All of them flew down to Issei's location and when they reach his location they instantly kneel before him with absolute loyalty and devotion.
Astolfo - Yahoo! Astolfo is here, master!
Artoria - Artoria Pendragon answer your call, master.
Altria - Altria Pendragon responds to your summon, master.
Mordred - Mordred is here, Chichiue(Dad)!
Nero - UMU! Nero Claudius has arrived!
Altera - Altera has arrived, ready to execute your enemies, master.
Marchosias - Overlord Marchosias, waiting for your command.
Barbatos - Kehahaha! The Immortal Barbatos is here! We're going to war again, your majesty?
Paimon - This concubine is at your service, milord.
Marbas - Overlord Marbas, ready to serve.
One by one the Heroic Spirits, Overlords, and the rest of the <9 Divines> arrived in front of Issei.
(AN: Artoria is your saber while Altria is the lancer one aka the bombshell one).
Mertel being in the forefront followed by the other <9 Divines>.
Mertel - We heed your call, my king.
She gazes at Issei with a loving and respectful look and she's not the only one. Most of the army also have the same gaze as her.
Issei - Sigh... How many times do I have to tell you, Mertel... There's no need to kneel before me.
Issei said with a wry smile.
Mertel only smiles at him back.
Issei - And Mordred, I'm not your father.
Mordred - Not yet that is! I'm sure "Hahaue" will be your wife in the future so it's only a matter of time, right, "Hahaue"?
Mordred grinned at Issei before she changed her attention towards Artoria and Altria who blushed deeply after hearing her words but they don't deny her words. Artoria tried to hide her face in embarrassment while Altria gives Mordred a thumbs up.
At first, Mordred was a bit confused seeing there's two Artoria but after a bit of thinking she decided to just think of them as the same person.
She used to call both of them with a "Father" suffix but since she thought that both of them are aiming for Issei so she might as well call them Mom while Issei as her new Dad.
She's also aiming for Issei but it doesn't matter for now. On a side note, Mordred is an adopted child.
Issei can only sweat at their antics.
Sirzechs's and the others are dumbfounded with their mouth wide open.
They're in complete awe seeing so many line up kneeling before Issei...
*ROAR!*
From the sky, there's a roar coming out from the newly opened dimensional rift.
A giant red Dragon came out from it, it is a massive red Western Dragon with a horn on his snout and has two sets of wings. His overall length measures around 100 meters.
Vali - ...Great Red?!
It is indeed Great Red itself.
The other onlookers' also feeling disbelief seeing Great Red appears here.
Ophis - What are you doing here, baka red...
Lilith - Baka red...
Ophis and Lilith look at Great Red that's currently showing off its appearance.
Great Red - Heh, my friend called me here so of course I answer his call.
Great Red voice boomed in the sky... But its voice somehow sounds a bit like a delinquent.
Ophis - Ise didn't call you...
She squinted her eyes.
Great Red - Yes he is... Right, bro?
Great Red averted its eyes and changed its gazes towards Issei.
Issei - No, I didn't.
Issei gave Great Red a flat answer.
Great Red - ...
Great Red went silent after that feeling depressed.
In the eyes of the onlookers' it looks kind of... pitiful...
Issei - ...And Tiamat, stop sniffing me already.
Issei said tiredly towards his back but it is unknown when but there's suddenly a tall and gorgeous woman appeared behind him.
The woman has a long flowing aqua blue hair that reaches her feet. Her outfit is almost non-existent that mostly only cover her private parts.
She has a glowing light purple eyes and elongated ears, but her most striking feature is the giant pair of horns that are located at the side of her head.
(AN: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/typemoon/images/a/a8/BeastTiamatStage.png/revision/latest?cb=20170617183802).
Tiamat - *Sniff* *Sniff*... Make a child with me... Dragon King...
Her voice is kind of monotone but it is quite still pleasant to hear.
Tiamat D - ...Tiamat?
Tiamat from the DxD world is already feeling really taken aback when she saw Issei for the first time but now she saw another Dragon with the same name as her as well?
But she could tell that this Tiamat is on a whole another level compared to her...
Issei - ...No.
Tiamat - ...Why? I obeyed your command on not annihilating the humankind... Now it's your turn to obey my request... Make a child with me.
Issei - I will only make a child with my wives.
Tiamat - ...Then make me your wife.
Issei - ...
Tiamat - ...
Both of them come to a standstill after that.
The onlookers' are feeling numb already with everything that's happened...
Great Red - Hahaha! All of you must be surprised but that woman there is the genuine Goddess Tiamat herself.
Great Red started talking since it's basically being ignored by its "bro" and "sister". Its bro is obviously Issei while the sister is Ophis and Lilith.
It doesn't want to be out of place so it started explaining Tiamat origin to the DxD group.
But before that, it changed itself from a massive looking Dragon to that of a woman.
She had a graceful, sexy and all-around lovely body and wears a cool black biker outfit. She has voluminous and exquisite, much like a matured juicy peach, with a faint luring sense seeping out. She has long red hair which tied into a ponytail.
She kind of gives off a delinquent vibe.
They are not too surprised seeing Great Red turning into a woman since both it and Ophis are genderless in the first place and can change their gender at will.
The reason why it took the form of a woman is because the women around Issei is kind of repugnant being nearby of another man other than him. Of course, this only applies to special individuals such as Semiramis, Forzelotte, and the like.
Then she started her explaining as if she's trying to make herself looks useful.
Tiamat is an Earth Mother Goddess, a branch of Catalhoyuk's forgotten goddess. Along with Abzu, she was manifested of the Sea of Dawn that lies below the Underworld of Ereshkigal, said to have once been under the administration of the god Enki.
In Sumerian Mythology, the gods were given birth from the pairing of Tiamat, who is the saltwater, and Abzu, who is the freshwater. Afterward, the gods, whom are their children, waved their banner of revolution against the primeval father Abzu and acquired supremacy over the world. At this moment, Tiamat gently approved the deeds of her children. It is proof that her love for her children has won over her love for her husband.
However, the gods pointed their blades even at Tiamat, their mother. Tiamat, in her grief and disorder, gave birth to 11 Magical Beasts as her new children, and they altogether had a showdown with the gods. At the end of the conflict, Tiamat and her 11 Magical Beasts were torn apart. It is said that the gods tore up her corpse into two, forming heaven and earth from it, and thus, had established the ritual for the creation of the World of Man.
Tiamat was "a womb discarded after the Genesis", becoming the origin of Sumerian Mythology. She was turned into a "Mother Sea" and was put to use as a breeding ground to produce life, but once the earth's environment stabilized and after the ecosystems were established, she was banished to the World of Imaginary Numbers, an imaginary space that has no life and is not even a Parallel World.
Hereafter, Tiamat has been waiting in the mirror world for a chance to return back to her original world... But with the "help" of the Holy Grail, she manages to get out of that world.
She was planning to annihilate the human race but after a bit of "Negotiation"(As in she got her ass handed to her by Issei). She finally abandoned that thought and was planning to start anew... Her plan to start anew is to have new children and Issei being the one able to defeat her, she sees no one else more fitting than him to become the father of their children.
Just the fact that he's stronger than her is already good enough but to add the cherry on top is that he's also a Dragon just like her.
Knowing this history of hers the 4 factions become overcome by extreme trepidation but when they heard that she's basically loyal towards Issei they're feeling a bit relieved... Because if not then they will have another Trihexa mixed into the fray.
They're also quite taken aback seeing that Great Red is apparently quite talkative.
But they didn't know that she's forced to do so or it will be kind of awkward for her to be here... And she just kind of "Read" the whole explanation she just did... She can't be bothered to remember that kind of stuff anyway...
Issei - Anyway...
Issei pushed Tiamat face away from his to gain some distance and the latter frowned a little feeling annoyed that Issei doesn't accept her request.
She started flailing her arms trying to get to him but to no avail.
There's also a group of Goddesses mixed in the fray here and there. They're eyeing Issei like some sort of delicacy.
Issei pays no heed to their gaze and changed his gaze towards the dome once more. It's about to break any second now so Issei gives his order towards his army.
Issei - Miarute, Kyuriha, Ultinia.
Issei voice rang throughout the battlefield. Each and every single one person there could hear it.
For some reason when they heard his current commanding voice they felt like their blood boil in excitement and awe.
Miarute & Kyuriha & Ultinia - At your command!
The three of them said out loud at the same time waiting for his command while still in the kneeling position.
Issei - Go and scout the area to see if there's still any civilian left. And if the area is clear, go ahead and deploy a set of barrier on the surrounding area. Let none of the Trihexa army escape.
Miarute & Kyuriha & Ultinia - By your will!
They then flew off with their respective subordinates to execute Issei order.
Issei - Assassins.
Assassins - At your service, master!
The Assassins group respond to Issei call with fervor just like the first group.
Issei - Go spread out around the area and keep an eye out in case the remnant of the Trihexa army trying to escape the barrier. Report any suspicious activity to me straight away.
Assassins - Yes!
Then they also execute Issei command immediately. In just an instance they are nowhere to be seen... They live up to their name being the Assassins group.
Issei then continues to give one order after another to the respective group.
Sirzechs and the others who saw this went completely dumbfounded once more because of how gallant Issei currently look... It's like a True King... No, he is indeed a King now, isn't he?
The women's group eyes started glistening with infatuation towards Issei. Le fay group is already lost in a daze with their eyes locked into Issei's form.
Rias's group is already free from Brunhild threat but she and her peerages are looking at Issei with complete infatuation as well. They're still clinging to a blind hope thinking that Issei will forgive them when he listens to their explanation.
They are also overcome with anger and jealousy whenever they saw how gentle and loving Issei act towards those girls...
Issei - Now then...
Issei then changed his attention towards his wives.
Issei - Do be careful out there, understand?
Ramius and co - Hai!
Issei - Um, go on then... I will be watching your back.
Issei gave them a gentle smile of reassurance and that gives all of them a sweet and blissful feeling.
He gives each and every one of them a quick kiss before they set out with a greater determination to get stronger.
Issei gazes at their back with a gentle and full of care look on his face.
Scathach - You're not going to let them go alone and you call most of our army here? Just how overprotective can you be, baka deshi... Not that I hate it though.
Scathach lightly berated Issei.
Rias - Ise!
Rias once again called Issei name and this time Issei doesn't ignore her call and gaze at her.
But his gaze made all of them shivers since the way he looks at Rias group is without any emotion at all which is the complete opposite compared to when he looks at his wives... It's like he's really looking at a pebble on the side road... No hatred, no anger, no nothing...
Issei - What do you want, Rias Gremory?
Even his voice sounded bored.
Rias who was frozen stiff finally snaps back out of her daze.
Rias - L-Listen, Ise... I-I'm sorry that we ignored you back then but we never forgot about you at all.
Akeno and the others also chimed in with her words saying sorry and whatnot.
Rias - The reason why we dated Reiji and the other guys before is-
Issei - I couldn't care less about the reason why you dated them in the first place. You can do whatever you want for all I care.
Rias was about to explain the reason why they dated Reiji and the others but Issei cut her off.
Issei - So there's no need for you to explain anything to me. You want my forgiveness? There's nothing to forgive. You simply made your own choice and I made mine, it's as simple as that, no more no less.
Issei is still devoid of any emotion when he said all that but to Rias's group, they felt like their heart is being stabbed since it hurts a lot hearing those words from the man they love...
Rias - But we still love you!
Rias shouted in a desperate tone.
Issei - But I don't.
Just that one sentence from Issei manages to stagnate their breathing... They felt an excruciating pain coming from their heart that exceeds the previous pain they felt.
It hurts so much that they are having trouble to even breath properly. Their tears are streaming down their face but it looks like they don't even realize that.
Issei felt not a single shred of pity when he saw their distressed state.
Irene's group sneered at them and gave them a mocking look.
Issei - I could more or less guess the reason why all of you dated those guys. Knowing your prideful personality... You must've felt insecure about our relationship back then so you tried to get more experience in a relationship of some sort. Am I right so far?
They become dumbfounded hearing the guess of Issei since it's quite accurate.
Seeing their dumbfounded gaze Issei knew that his guess was right on target.
Issei - If you just set aside your stupid pride then we might've been able to avoid all this... If only you talk it out with me or your family back then... But, there is no "If" in this world... Without trust, there is no love.
This time his words smashed right into the center of their heart and made them wide awake with eyes wide open because of how accurate his words just now... "Without trust, there is no love"...
Rias's group cried even more profusely... They felt intense anger and regret towards themselves.
If they could turn back time then they would do everything they can to avoid this outcome but just like Issei said... There is no "If" in this world...
And after saying that Issei changed his attention back to the battlefield since apparently, the seal is almost broken.
Scathach - Well, I better get going as well. I don't want to miss out such a grand fight.
Scathach started stretching out to prepare for the upcoming battle.
Semiramis - Fufufu, it's quite a good timing to increase our strength after all... And as for your fate... We will discuss it later after we're done with our fight.
Semiramis also planning to set out but not before she reminds Rias's group about their little deal and the same goes for Forzelotte.
Forzelotte - Fumu... It's been a while since I had my last fight.
Then they also head out for the battlefield but not before they had their share of kisses with Issei.
Issei - You're not going?
Irene - Hmm... No, I don't want to steal their spotlight. And besides...
Irene then leaned herself towards Issei and snuggled comfortably on his embrace with a content smile on her face.
Irene - I want to laze around for now.
Issei - Your lazy side is surfacing once more, partner...
Issei said with a wry smile.
They look like a very loving couple with how they look now.
Odin - U-Um, Issei-kun... Is there anything we need to do?
Odin awkwardly asked Issei who's currently hugging Irene with the sobbing sound of Rias's group in the background so it's kind of awkward for him to ask this question now.
The others are also feeling awkward considering that they're on a battlefield right now.
They're talking about Trihexa here and not some average joe... They're too laid back if they put it into words.
But with this kind of line up, they might really have a chance in dealing with Trihexa.
Issei - Oh, no need... All of you can do whatever you want as long as you don't bother my wives.
Issei said carelessly towards Odin.
They don't know what to do now... They wanted to help as well alright?
Issei - Sora.
Sora - Hai, Ise nii-sama?
Issei - Be sure to record their experience well, alright?
Sora - You can leave it to me!
Sora then took off to the battlefield as well to record the other girls' achievement.
Kunou also going with the girls as well but obviously, she will be sticking very close to Yasaka. Ophis and Lilith are also protecting her.
Great Red also went with them not wanting to left behind but she's warned by Issei to not take things too far since this is his wives time to shine and not hers. She grumbled under her breath but still choose to obey Issei words.
Great Red is also feeling surprised knowing that Rias's group basically abandoned Issei and her response to that is, "Are they retarded or something? Why would they throw away my bro here for some trashes?".
Only Issei and Irene is left on the sidelines but Issei knows that they won't be able to stay in the sidelines for long...
