Playing with other Supernaturals

Chapter 542 Lucky Encounter

Everyone talked about Ryouta’s funeral for a bit before Kisuke returned to the topic and faced Diehauser, “Uncle, before you said that you’re part of the Khaos Brigade, you asked me a strange question about knowing this ‘Chichigami’. Mind telling me more about that?”

Diehauser nodded and said, “More than a month ago, a certain being came in contact with Hyoudou Issei while their team and Vali’s team were fighting Loki, a Norse God.”

Kisuke frowned and muttered, “And that being is this ‘Chichigami’?”

Nodding, Diehauser continued, “Yes. Someone from the Khaos Brigade managed to pick up a strange but very powerful energy connecting to the Red Dragon Emperor, and when they tried to trace where it came from, it went beyond their search area, which shouldn’t have been possible since they were very confident to trace it even if it’s somewhere in the Dimensional Gap.”

“Without disclosing this information to me, they asked me to go get some information regarding the sudden power-up of the Red Dragon Emperor in the middle of the fight. I complied because it was information easily attainable as long as one has a high enough position and I figured that even if I don’t do it, someone else will, so I might as well gain some trust from them.”

“Although the information was a little strange, I gave it to them. It was only then they disclosed what they’d concluded after reading my report. Apparently, this ‘Chichigami’ was able to contact Hyoudou Issei through his obsession with tits. What’s more, this unknown being might have been from a different world, dimension or universe.”

Kisuke’s face couldn’t help but twitch and muttered, “Obsession with tits? Seriously?”

Diehauser and the rest were also making weird faces, “…It seems that everyone likes his antics, though. He’s especially popular among the children and they revere him as a hero.” Diehauser then took out a smartphone from his personal space and passed it to Kisuke, “You can access the web here in the Underworld using this. It’ll give you a more concrete idea of the events of these past months.”

While receiving the smartphone, Kisuke added, “It seems like I’ve missed a lot of interesting and fun things.”

“Moving on, this ‘Chichigami’ caught the interest of Rizevim, the current leader of the Qlippoth faction within the Khaos Brigade.”

“Caught his interest? What do you mean?” asked Cleria.

“All these years, Rizevim has been uninterested with everything except for bolstering his connection and army for nothing. However, this event suddenly made his blood boil and he suddenly wanted to invade that other world since this world bored him to death. An ambition suddenly sprouted from the usually lazy Devil.”

“Isn’t that fine? Let the menace go away,” added Sakura.

But instead of Diehauser, Kisuke is the one who replied, “It’s not that simple. This Qlippoth probably already realized how strong this ‘Chichigami’. As someone who’s already experienced dimension traveling, the way ‘Chichigami’ contacted Issei so easily, he or she is probably at least at Great Red and Ophis’ level.”

Diehauser nodded, “You’re correct. The researchers in Qlippoth already estimated how strong this being is, and despite that, Rizevim’s ambition continued burning without any signs of weakening.”

Cleria’s eyes widened and asked, “Then how is he going to fight this ‘Chichigami’ if she’s as strong as the strongest beings in this world? If she’s already at that level, this world is probably already under her rule.”

Diehauser put on a serious expression and answered, “He planned to release and control Trihexa.”

Cleria and Sakura drew in cold breaths when they heard Diehauser’s answer.

Curious at their reaction, Masaomi asked Cleria, “Trihexa? What’s that?”

Cleria sighed and looked towards Masaomi, “You’re more probably familiar with the names Apocalyptic Beast or Emperor Beast of the Apocalypse.”

Masaomi nodded, “Yeah… It’s written in the Bible as the beast that would end the world.” It was then he realized something, “…Wait… Are you saying that this Trihexa is the Apocalyptic Beast!? It existed!?”

“Yes, I’m afraid so. Although others may argue, a certain rumor is believed among the old members of each faction that the God of the Bible only died because he was weakened due to him fighting and sealing the beast before the Great War. Of course, it’s only a rumor and nobody could actually confirm this.”

Before everyone knew, Ophis was already beside Kisuke and said, “That bright guy was injured after fighting the beast.”

Everyone looked towards Claire but she’s already sleeping on the couch. It was only then they digested Ophis’ words.

“So the Infinite Dragon is confirming it…” Diehauser muttered. They ignored how Ophis called the God of the Bible.

Kisuke picked up Ophis and put her on his lap, “Can you give us more detail?”

“The beast was strong and the shiny guy was weak. He asked both Baka-Red and me to lend him our strength. Although mine would have been enough.”

Despite Ophis’ short words, everyone instantly understood what she meant.

Diehauser rubbed his chin and murmured, “If the God of the Bible had to ask for Great Red and Ophis’ help, then it’s really on their level.” He then looked towards Ophis, “But why would you and Great Red assist him?”

“He promised to leave our legacy. I wanted to see what it’d lead to,” answered Ophis, however, no one could understand her words, except for Kisuke when a certain someone flashed in his mind.

“Aeternam Somnium…” muttered Kisuke.

At his words, Ophis nodded.

“The last Longinus created by the God of the Bible? The one dubbed as the fake Longinus due to its very weak abilities?” asked Cleria.

“Isn’t that Aika-chan’s Sacred Gear?” added Sakura.

Kisuke nodded, “Yes. It’s Aika’s Sacred Gear. And thanks to its very weak abilities and the strange phenomenon that drags its host to the supernatural world without fail, it’s known as a fake or failed Longinus.”

“However, that’s only because no one was able to activate its real abilities.”

Diehauser, who had been quiet all this time, said, “So that Sacred Gear is…”

Kisuke grinned and answered, “Yep~! Was created from the remaining power that Great Red and Ophis gave the God of the Bible after he fought Trihexa, hence, leaving their legacy.”

Cleria, Masaomi and Sakura were speechless while Diehauser could only sigh, “To think that there’s such a big secret within the last Longinus.”

“You said that no one was able to activate its real abilities,” Sakura talked to Kisuke while looking at Ophis, “But I assume that Aika-chan already activated it… Then the condition to activate it was Ophis-chan?”

“Yes,” answered Kisuke, “The reason why it was too weak, it’s probably because not much of the power was left and the God of the Bible didn’t want to contaminate it with other powers. However, despite its weakness, the concept of ‘Infinity’ and ‘Dreams’ were still in it. And that’s where its strange ability to drag its host to the supernatural world without fail comes in.”

“I think, instead of bringing the host in blindly, the Sacred Gear itself is attracted to either Ophis or Great Red because meeting them is the only way for it to gain the power it needed. Of course, this is only a gamble as even the God of the Bible didn’t know if either of the two would ‘bless’ the Gear. So in hindsight, it all depends on the host’s luck~.”

“T-then Aika-chan only activated it because she’s lucky?” asked Sakura.

Kisuke rubbed his chin and said, “Extremely lucky if I must say. When she first met Ophis-chan, the latter only stared at her with interest and didn’t do anything else. However, when I attracted Great Red due to an incident, and he felt Ophis’ aura on me and the others, it haphazardly gave its blessing to Aika just to flex. And when Ophis-chan saw this, she also gave her blessing in an attempt not to get outdone.”

‘Kids! They’re kids! The most mysterious Sacred Gear was activated because of the kids’ fight!’ Everyone thought but silently agreed to never say it out loud.

28th00: Dragons are just super strong primordial chaos given form, and incredibly childish at that. I mean, they have that Outrage ability that makes them what, 500% stronger? Fafnir became strong enough to nom Rizevim, who was top 10? #6? That’s a massive leap yo. Phis-chama continues to be a font of wisdom from her throne of power.
