Playing with other Supernaturals

Chapter 944 The Aftermath

Kisuke was shocked that his defenses were instantly penetrated and thought, ‘Does it have the same properties as Fenrir’s teeth or have the same ability as Issei’s [Penetrate]?’

Although Kisuke knows that he had one of the strongest defenses in the whole world if fully transformed, it had one glaring weakness. The defense ignores skills or abilities like Issei’s [Penetrate] since the only way to get around those is to overpower them which is not very cost-effective by a very large margin or not let it touch you at all in the first place.

And if paired with something that could stop any sort of healing, it becomes very devastating like what’s happening right now with Aika’s sword blocking Kisuke’s regeneration, ‘This is actually dangerous.’

Kisuke grabbed the maw and was about to force it open when it suddenly lost its biting force. What’s weirder is that Aika also seemed to be surprised by this and tried to pull back her sword. However, the sword was stuck in place without Kisuke doing anything, defying Aika’s will. Slowly, the maw opened and released Kisuke with its teeth still dripping with his blood.

The broadsword then threw itself back and Aika’s hand slipped, letting it go. It then transformed back to its original nodachi form and flew beside Kisuke.

Kisuke silently looked at it and thought, ‘What a weird Zanpakuto… To have this degree of freedom, it seems that I was wrong with a few things.’ Kisuke then turned his head to Aika. Although she hadn’t returned to her senses and former appearance, her aura was obviously a lot weaker than before, ‘Even Benihime couldn’t discard my will like this.’

Aika growled at him before dashing forward and brandishing her claws at him. But without her previous strength and ability to silence, she’s just bull rushing without any plan. A few minutes later, after being tossed around countless times, Kisuke was finally able to knock her out. Closing his Shunko and turning back his Hollowfication, he felt more tired than necessary.

He looked down at the peacefully sleeping Aika with her nodachi on top of her and sighed, ‘I’ll bring her with me for now.’

Everything he needed to do in regards to this incident was done and all the polishing could be left to Athena who should be acting as the new leader of Mount Olympus now. While it may seem that he did the least things in this, he actually prepared and planned for him to get the greatest benefit from all of this.

Kisuke turned towards where Persephone and Hecate were watching and saw that they had already left. After making sure that there was no one else around, he took out his smartphone and dialed a specific number. Instead of calling, it initiated an app that immediately showed multiple video feeds of a certain place and confused people.

Smiling from ear to ear, Kisuke spoke, “Good day everyone~ The name’s Kisuke Urahara, your new supervisor~!”

He wanted to say that he’s their new owner but he’s worried that they might riot and destroy the place he’d painstakingly prepared.

Since London itself was largely unaffected by the Alliance of Hell’s attack, the clean-up was rather easy compared to when Erebus commanded an army to attack Kyoto. And after their defeat, the Tri-Faction Alliance immediately raided their bases and acquired a few things from them, ranging from useless to useful.

But the most startling discovery was not Hades’ ‘Artificial Devil’ factory, but an individual named Sefaira Seraselbes, a priestess from the world called Fadir Ferdora, a world that the Evies successfully invaded and took over.

With Ajuka in the lead, he immediately suppressed the information about Sefaira, secured her, and only allowed related individuals to even come close to her existence. Now the higher-ups of the Tri-Faction Alliance are truly at a loss because although they knew that she was bound to appear, it’s much later.

Some people, out of fear, immediately pinned the blame on Kisuke, who supposedly didn’t exist in the future, but they were instantly shut down by the leaders of each faction. Not just because it’s an unreasonable logic and Kisuke’s disappearance wouldn’t do anything to what’s happening now, but they were also making enemies with one of the influential factions that centered around him.

It’s not just a big loss to the effort against Evies, but also creating another headache that might actually destroy them.

Naturally, they didn’t just end up scolding those who advocated Kisuke’s ‘fault’ but also established a secret force to monitor the inner workings of their faction. Nothing is more devastating than being betrayed in these trying times.

To drown out the bad rumors, the alliance propped up the award ceremony that would reward those who participated in the war. And they weren’t wrong that all the attention would be gathered there because two celebrities will finally step on the highest rank of being a Devil.

Issei Hyoudou and Vali Lucifer were formally acknowledged as ‘Transcendental beings’ and ‘Super Devils’.

Along with them, Sairaorg Bael, Seekvaira Agares, Rias Gremory, and even Sona Sitri, who only just returned and hadn’t done much, and Kisuke Urahara were granted the rank of Ultimate Devil. Whether it’s the Underworld’s way of controlling or appeasing Kisuke, it’s unknown. However, the one being rewarded couldn’t care less as it is technically useless for him aside from people seeing him in a brighter light.

For this reward, Sona was the most bitter because she didn’t want to receive it at all costs since it was unfair to others. But because of politics and stability, she has no choice but to accept it.

Naturally, Akeno, Irina, Koneko, and Kuroka are also recipients of promotions but unlike the former, they could refuse and they all didn’t hesitate to do so. In any case, even if they received their new titles, it’d only be a limiting factor since only the Belial House and their allies would be willing to support them.

They are already happy being able to help their comrades and this doesn’t really change their relationship with their friends.

After their brief trial, the Gods of Hell’s judgment was indefinite imprisonment to a certain isolated island and the one tasked with their transfer was the Vali Team and Hero Team, along with two additions.

“Are you sure this is enough people? We don’t know anything about them aside from a few descriptive texts so I think we should ask for more people.”, asked Le Fay to Vali.

Vali put on his white armor and replied while signaling with his eyes, “She asked for this arrangement.”

Le Fay followed his eyes and saw Medusa under a thick hood with Riveria beside her wearing the same.

“I think they want to bait these enemies into appearing. If there are too many people, they might not do anything.”

“Is this really going to be alright? And why Riveria-san?”

“Don’t ask me. I also have no idea.”
