Playing with other Supernaturals

Chapter 751 Trihexa’s Origin

After getting informed of everything, Kisuke decided to end it here and dedicated the remaining time to others.

Cleria and Masaomi played with the kids. Dylan and Cordelia wanted to catch up with Sona. And Sakura went to talk with the other girls, especially Aika, telling her that she had been arranging for her to meet her parents.

Kisuke, meanwhile, left the room, intending to confirm something. Behind him were Yoruichi and Serafall, “Are you going alone this time too?” asked the former.

Rubbing his chin, Kisuke thought for a moment before saying, “I’m thinking of taking you too. Your Bankai could probably protect you from the void.”

“Take me too. I know you have enough power, or at least, a safe method to traverse the void after going through it three times.”, requested Serafall with unusual seriousness that was very much warranted. Kisuke and Yoruichi knew that she wanted to return to save everyone who was trapped in the seal and join them if possible as a last resort.

Kisuke stopped walking and let out a short sigh while turning back, “I know how you’re feeling, but I’d like you to remain here for Sona-chan and other’s safety.”

“But-!”, before she could say it, Kisuke’s hand reached out for her head as he bent his back forward to match her gaze, “Between you and Yoruichi, you’re most suitable in protecting someone with the latter only being an offense idiot.”

“Oi.”

Ignoring the small protest, Kisuke smiled gently and said, “I may not be able to do anything right now, but I promise you that I’ll do something about Trihexa and save those who are trapped.”

Serafall was surprised for a number of reasons and one of them was this was the first time Kisuke patted her head and was shocked to know that it actually felt great. Even though Kisuke did a pat galore earlier, she didn’t line up as it was only the kids and his women and she was neither of those.

Next was Kisuke’s face coming way too close and a ‘cheating’ smile that had the strange power to comfort someone.

As an uncanny feeling surged, the heat went up to Serafall’s face and immediately slapped Kisuke’s hand away in embarrassment, “Stop treating me like a child! Even though I’m temporarily suspended, I’m still a dignified Devil King!”

With a blank expression, Kisuke and Yoruichi simultaneously thought, ‘With your strange fascination with Magical Girls, we just can’t see that.’

Yoruichi subsequently wrapped her arm around Serafall’s neck while shooing away Kisuke, “You still have something to do, right? Get to it and be done with it.”

“Fine, fine.” Kisuke turned around while chuckling, resuming his walk and leaving the two girls behind, “Be careful.” Yoruichi added in a firm tone.

Waving his hand back, Kisuke assured Yoruichi, “I’m just going to ask a few questions, that’s all. There’s nothing for you to be worried about.”

Even then, Yoruichi couldn’t calm the restless feeling.

Serafall saw her expression and asked, “Where is he going? And is it that dangerous?”

Shaking her head, Yoruichi replied, “To the 47th floor to ask someone something. Whether it’s dangerous or not, I don’t know. It’s just that confirming things may ruffle things that should be left alone.”

While evading everyone’s eyesight, Kisuke arrived at the lava pool on the 47th floor and dived into it without any hesitation. With a bubble-like barrier around him, he pushed himself through the heavy magma without much effort and arrived at the hidden cavern that wasn’t affected by the temperature outside.

Reaching the pond with clear water that was only half that of its original volume when he’d first arrived in this place, Kisuke sat down.

He only had to wait before the barrier he’s expecting went up and said first, “What do you know about Trihexa?”

All that Kisuke received was silence, however, he didn’t say anything else and still chose to wait patiently.

Around half an hour later, his patience finally paid off as he received a rather straightforward answer, “I didn’t know he was named Trihexa, but in broad terms, he’s Chaos and my sister’s child.”

“…” It was Kisuke’s turn to be silent while thinking about all the possibilities this information presented. About five minutes later, he asked, “Can you elaborate further?”

“There’s nothing to elaborate and any story I give will just be treated as a possibility by you. There’s no point in expanding on this topic with you on the other side of the equation.”

Kisuke snickered, “So you’ve been watching me rather closely, huh. You’re more of a stalker than that Chaos.”

Not denying his words, the voice continued, “Because the fate of this world rests on your hands. Chaos, on the other hand, was only interested in the deepest part of the Dungeon and wouldn’t pay any attention to anyone or anything as long as they don’t cross the boundary of this world or a big accident happens.”

“So my paranoia is pointed at the wrong person… or being, huh,” Kisuke scratched his head and thought about what should be his next step now, “But although it’s good for me that he isn’t paying very close attention to me, he’s too arrogant to think that I can’t do anything to him.”

“It’s because you can’t do anything to him. Even if you include all your companions, the completed Infinite Dragon God, and every God in this world, you won’t be able to extinguish his existence.”

Kisuke’s nonchalant expression immediately changed into a frown, “There’s no way to kill him?”

“There is. In fact, there are multiple ways to kill him. However, what I said is that there’s no way to end his existence.”

‘Yet she told me that the fate of this world is in my hands?’ Kisuke thought about this contradicting statement and reached a conclusion, “To the extent of your knowledge, I see. But aren’t you giving me too much credit? And you don’t even know what I might want to do. There’s a real possibility that it’ll be me who’ll end you, you know?”

However, the voice gave an answer that Kisuke was not expecting at all, “I don’t care. As long as everything ends. I will be giving my all for what I want, but whether it’s a satisfying end for me or not, it doesn’t really matter anymore.”

And for the first time ever, Kisuke heard the mysterious voice’s most heartfelt words, “I’m tired.”

Kisuke became silent once again for a few minutes before he let out a long sigh, “Do you realize how contradictory those words are?”

“A life of not living. Spend almost an eternity doing that and you’ll change your mind.”

“Er… No thanks. I’d just kill myself if I reach that point.”

“Expecting freedom at that point, you’re still naive.”

“There’s no point arguing this since I haven’t reached that yet.”, Kisuke then stood up and stretched his arms, “One final thing. What does this Chaos ultimately want?”

“An army.”

“Hmmm…” Kisuke closed his eyes and rubbed his chin in contemplation until he reached a decision, “Yosh~! Let’s do it this way. When the right time comes, I’ll kill you, then you kill him.”
