Omniversal Travel

Within a chaotic space, a golden bubble moved about the place quietly.

"Hey, Vali. Is this really the place?"

Bikou sitting to the side looked around and asked Vali doubtfully.

"We'll definitely find it."

...

Shalba Beelzebub grabbed a helpless Akeno by the neck as her face filled with disgust at the sight of her two different wings.

As a supremacist of demonic blood purity, these kinds of hybrids, especially being a mere reincarnated demon, disgusted her more than anything else.

Suddenly, Shalba formed an energy blade with his hand and pierced Akeno's abdomen.

Akeno barely managed to turn his head slightly to smile at Rias before the light slowly left his eyes.

Rias, who had been trying to get up until recently, froze as she watched the scene.

Shalba tossed Akeno's corpse aside as if it were mere trash as she waved her hand in disgust to remove the remaining blood.

Rias fell to the ground as her gaze was riveted on the corpse with the pierced abdomen.

Akeno was more than just her friend and confidant.

She had known Akeno since they were ten years old and they had always been together through thick and thin.

More than just a friend, Akeno was like that sister she never had.

Rias turned her gaze in a daze, looking at her other servants who were lying around her.

Yuuto was the only one still conscious but even he couldn't get up.

"President..."

Rias swept his gaze over all of them until he fell upon Akeno's corpse.

Suddenly, he remembered a conversation he had with Noah almost a year ago.

"You are too weak. You have great potential but because you trust too much that you will be able to face all obstacles with the help of your servants, that potential remains unrealized.

Someday you will understand that, without a supreme power, all your dreams and ideals are nothing but illusions that could easily shatter."

Tears began to stream down Rias' face as she finally understood this fundamental truth.

"Well, little sister of Sirzechs. It is time for you to join them."

Shalba Beelzebub opened her hand, revealing the infinity symbol glowing in it and a ball of energy began to build up.

"I wonder..."

Badump!

Suddenly, Rias' body jerked.

"If only it were stronger..."

Badump!

"I could have saved her?"

With the third beat of Rias' heart, a terrifying energy exploded from his body.

A crimson aura surrounded by destructive lightning shattered the ruined roof and soared into the sky.

"Oh? Looks like something interesting is happening to your sister, Sirzechs."

Sirzechs looked at the huge pillar of crimson light rising in the distance with concern but still didn't go there for the moment.

"Since I couldn't save her..."

Suddenly, twelve demonic wings appeared behind Rias before his body appeared behind Shalba.

"Then I will avenge her."

Saying those words in a whisper, Rias grabbed the surprised Shalba's head and slammed it into the ground violently.

Then, she grabbed him by one leg and threw him hundreds of feet into the sky before shooting off after him.

What Rias didn't notice was how at the moment Akeno died, his soul, which should have dissipated, remained inside his body, repressed by a layer of golden energy.

Rias appeared behind the dazed Shalba, who was still soaring in the sky, and gave him a strong blow on his back that slowed his ascent and sent him crashing to the ground again.

Rias clenched his fist before opening it again.

A ball of crimson energy surrounded by black lightning condensed in his palm and launched it at Shalba, turning into a massive energy cannon that slammed into his body and began to disintegrate him.

"Damn you! False kings!"

Shalba Beelzebub began to curse as he was about to die.

Suddenly, a spatial hole opened up behind him and sucked him in, making it look as if Rias' energy cannon had disintegrated him.

Only then did Rias' bloodshot red eyes slowly return to normal before she fell to the ground, unconscious due to exhaustion.

Magna appeared on the scene and with a wave of his hand, he dragged the corpses of the demons scattered around the place into storage before pouring a bottle of phoenix tears into Akeno's abdomen before disappearing from the scene and appearing on the main battlefield and starting to loot the corpses of the dead demons.

Suddenly, Magna's thoughts were interrupted when a huge head suddenly appeared in the sky.

At some point, Vali and his group had also appeared in the distance as they watched the huge creature emerging from the huge space rift that formed in the sky.

A huge red dragon revealed its figure to the spectators watching this incredible scene.

This was the dragon of dragons.

The ruler of dreams.

The real DxD.

The true red dragon god emperor, Great Red.

And also, he was the strongest creature in this world, a universal level being, a rank 9.

Eons ago, after Ophis, who was born in the dimensional gap, left it, Great Red was created from dreams and illusions, then occupied the dimensional gap as his home.

That's why Ophis was trying to get his old home back from him.

Magna contemplated the dragon walking away for a while before turning and leaving.

Ophis watched as Great Red left with a deep look in his eyes.

In a vast meadow filled with violet flowers as far as the eye could see, Cao Cao was lying on the ground with his spear at his side as he watched the clouds in the sky.

Suddenly, a silver-haired man approached him from behind.

"Shalba was defeated. Vali is not giving up either.

Should we, the hero faction, make our move?"

Cao Cao stood up and grabbed his spear.

"No. We will definitely need to make our move soon."

"The most powerful sacred Gear residing within you will propel us forward."

"True Longinus?"

Cao Cao looked at his spear intently.

"Will the tip of this spear bring about destruction? Or will it be something else?"

...

Inside the laboratory on the floating continent.

Noah looked at the gold-colored king chess piece in front of him with a smile.

After much work, he finally managed to complete the first part of the plan.

Putting the chess piece away carefully, he went out to see the demonic energy conversion matrix.

The bodies of the followers of the heirs of the six clans were already consumed long ago and now the matrix was absorbing the power of the corpses of the demons Magna collected.

Looking at the bound guy who was staring at him as if he wanted to kill him, Noah gestured and floated him over before taking him to where the capsules were.

Currently, almost all the heirs of the six clans achieved a degree of evolution of about 80%.

Opening one of the capsules, he let the liquid inside drain out completely before a muscular creature about four meters tall emerged.

This was the fiend.

His Pit Fiend lineage was almost fully awakened and just needed a slight push.

And this guy, Shalba Beelzebub, was that push.

Noah pulled the two of them out and left them on a rocky area of the floating continent so that the transformation from Fiend to Pit Fiend would not damage the environment.

Shalba watched in horror as the fiend opened its mouth wide before swallowing him whole without even giving him a chance to defend himself.

The fiend trembled before its body began to change.

It began to roar like a madman as it scratched against the ground and clawed at its skin.

Its hooves became hands and feet with long claws and its antlers fell off before four thick horns grew in their place.

All of its fur fell out, revealing brown skin that quickly turned a red color before it began to crack.

Red scales began to grow from between the cracks and quickly covered the Fiend's entire body.

Two fleshy wings grew on its back and its tail thickened and grew twice its original size.

Its third eye changed from a horizontal to a vertical position and turned a yellowish amber color.

His goat-like face shrank and deformed until it became that of a standard Pit Fiend.

Letting out a roar, demonic flames covered the Pit Fiend and began to wreak havoc around the place, melting the stone beneath it.

Noah looked at it and snapped his fingers, causing it to fall unconscious.

The demonic flames that covered his body were also extinguished.

Now that the Pit Fiend managed to evolve, only Rarog and the other six remained.

Rarog, as a high-ranking creature from hell, did not need to go through any kind of evolution and all he needed was enough energy to be able to be reborn using his lineage ability, Nirvana.

Destroying the Pit Fiend's consciousness, he turned it into a clone as well before putting it back into the capsule.

Now that the first phase of the plan was over, it was time to move on to the next phase.

He called in his new assistant, the perverted sage, whose real name was Julius.

Together the two began working on a new project.

Noah pulled out an item he hadn't used in a long time, the optimizer staff.

He let Nexus scan it thoroughly while he and Julius worked on a prototype machine.

A week later, the next fight for Rias' group in the Rating Games came.

The group had to fight Zairaog of the Bael clan.

Despite being considered useless and a waste among demons, Zairaorg never gave up and trained from a young age.

Since he possessed neither demonic power nor could he use the power of destruction, he dedicated himself to train his body day and night, managing to position himself among the most powerful demons.

In the end, although he was quite evenly matched with Rias now that he had awakened all his demonic power, he defeated her in the end.

A month later, the third graders had to go on a school trip to the city of Kyoto.

Azazel and Rossweisse also accompanied the group as the teachers who would be in charge of this trip but in reality their real goal was to contact the Yokay faction to sign an alliance.

But the night they met with the representatives of the other side they learned that their leader, the nine-tailed vixen, was kidnapped.

After Azazel did some research, they learned that the hero faction of the Khaos Brigade was responsible.

"I humbly ask you. Please lend us your strength to save my mother!"

The kyubi's daughter, Kunou, knelt down and begged them for help.
