Chapter 10: Riser Phenex (1/4)
'looks good.' I thought while running, with the balance of my 3 powers, I felt stronger than ever before. Every step I took was within my complete control... but I needed to get this world ready to face an outer god... impossible you say? Look into the abyss, you will realize that nothing is impossible, even defeating an omnipotent being wasn't impossible.
Anyway, as of this moment, I was running in the middle of the night. This wasn't to work out or anything like that, I was simply running to see if there was anything I should know with my body, and after realizing everything was good, I nodded lightly.
'Not everything is perfect.' I thought while sensing the extremely faint amount of demonic energy nearby. It was so weak I almost ignored it, but I walked over to see what it was, and there I saw a black-haired girl, who turned to see me since I didn't bother to hide.
"You can see me?" She asked with a raised eyebrow, I looked at her for some time,
"Devil? You seem to be part of something else." I said quickly getting control of my senses, unless I wanted to, I didn't want to see others' secrets... until the 1 month was over. I kind of enjoyed the life of not having grand plans,
"You're quite interesting-nya," She said realizing she couldn't sense anything off about me.
"You would find I'm more interesting than you could imagine... so, what are you doing here? With your level of power, I'm guessing you're somewhat strong right?" I asked making her eyes narrow.
"You want to find out nya?" She asked with a smirk, to which I shrugged not minding to see how weak I could make myself at this moment.
She flashed before me, but with a simple movement, I easily dodged all her attacks, leaving her stunned as she tried everything in her power to attack me, but to no use. She was equal to the ultimate devil, so she was strong in this world.
"you're not using your powers to their fullest, so many mistakes," I said while dodging her last attack, leaving her falling to her knees, before she looked at me. I just stood there, a cocky smile on my face with my arm resting on my hip.
"Come on, if you keep this up, I might have the illusion of getting tired," I said with a smirk, this bugged her so she shot up, using her demonic power and youjutsu, she went on to use her full power, she punched towards me, but with smooth movements, I dodged.
"Try doing this," I said while in my palm, demonic power gathered along with youjutsu.
"H-how?" She asked in shock
"You just showed me how," I said with a grin, leaving her stupefied by my words, she had a hard time comprehending my words, not daring to think this could be true. Demonic Power was something only devils should have, and Youjutsu was something only Youkai would have.
"Anyways, at the end of the day, this is just energy, it could be converted into just about anything," I said while the power turned into holy power, and all types of powers, leaving her stunned.
"sense it," I said while that power transformed, turning into pure power. It wasn't holy, it wasn't demonic, and it wasn't of Youjutsu, it was the origin of power, many times stronger than its diluted state. I threw it towards the girl, who caught it and went on to sense its power.
"It's so powerful nya..." She said in shock at this power, and she was even more shocked seeing how her demonic power and Youjutsu began converting into this power, the more she sensed it.
I was helping her out to better sense the power, and once that power had disappeared I waved at her to come at me.
"You're cocky to help me get stronger." She said with a grin, to which I shrugged lightly.
"even if you got trillions of times stronger, you still wouldn't be my match. 0 times a trillion is still 0. simple math." I said with a small smirk, and with that she jumped towards me, channeling origin power through her fist.
As of this moment, her power was nearing the peak of the Ultimate Devil tier, her power having almost no equal, with all of the power she released sure to destroy the city around us with every missed blow if I didn't erase the force behind it using Nothingness.
"W-who are you?" She asked dropping to her knees once the Origin Power had fully disappeared.
"You should introduce yourself first before asking about others... well good luck," I said lightly while walking off, leaving her stunned and speechless.
"I'm Kuroka, you are?" She called out,
"I'm Anos Voidigoad," I said lightly. Kuroka watched me disappear before she quickly teleported away, rushing to go report this to someone to see if they had heard of me...
Anyway, I returned home and found my mother fast asleep. I joined her and also went to sleep, since the next day I would go off to do some experiments... and I went on to do just that, although I did find a curious cat walking around the house, so I went to go do some tests on her. As for the test, I meant showing her that there was more to magic than she could ever imagine, and by seeing where her limitations were, I could see where the limitations of this world stood... so I could destroy it.
Well, Monday soon came and I returned to school.
"Hey, Momo," I called out to a white-haired girl, who was Momo, a member of the student council. Seeing me, her face brightened as she came to greet me.
"Anos, here is your lunch box." She said while giving me a lunch box. Members of the student councils like to take turns making me lunch... let's say they didn't believe me when I said how bad my cooking was, so they wanted to try it. They never ate it seeing how demonic it looked.
"Thanks, Momo. Good thing, I wouldn't be bothering you guys since my mother is doing well now." I said with a smile, stunning Momo who was somewhat disappointed, but she was happy hearing the good news.
"That's nice... but I didn't find making your launch box bothersome, I enjoyed it." She said with a sweet smile, causing me to pause for a moment.
"Really? Then it would be my honor." I said seeing how she wanted to, I was too nice to force her to not cook for me.
Momo almost jumped for joy since this meant she would still enjoy personal time with me during our lunch. I sighed as I knew this, but I was as loyal as loyal could be.
"So, does that mean you're going to stop working seeing as you don't need to anymore?" Momo asked to which I shook my head.
"Naw, I plan to keep working until the end of the month, and from there I will start to turn my dream into a reality," I said lightly, making Momo give me a curious look, but I just smiled, not explaining.
I went off to my class, and the day went by normally. Things only got odd when it was time to leave school since I found Rias waiting for me, an unhappy look clear on her face.
"What's up?" I asked while she joined me to head to the bar, Rias tried to bring up the matter with Raynare but didn't know how to.
"I don't know, someone told me there has been a girl you have been getting too close to," Rias said, going around the matter.
"You're talking about Yuma? She was the girl who helped me get the job, but all I did for her was give her a necklace to not pay her back or owe her anything. Who is spreading rumors? and it looks like they are winning." I said seeing how she was affected by the words,
"You didn't get me a necklace," Rias said with a pout, clearly jealous. I paused at her words, before realizing I indeed never got her anything. What was wrong with me?
"You're right... so take this," I said secretly creating a crimson necklace which I went on to personally put on her.
"Let this necklace be a sign that I'm always with you," I said with a smile. Rias looked at the crimson ruby for some time, before she jumped into my arms, giving me a hard kiss, not caring that we were before a crowd of students leaving school.
The kiss lasted a good 30 seconds before she went on to hug my arm while resting her head on my shoulder. I smiled lightly, girls were like this... well, some girls were like this. They didn't care for the value of the gift, simply caring for the meaning behind it. It was a symbol of love, and that was all that mattered.
Well, we soon arrived at the bar, and she followed me inside. When I went to go change for work, her eyes turned cold to find Raynare at the bar.
"What are you doing here?" Rias said through gritted teeth,
"We are friends... and you are not enough to handle him, why don't we share?" Raynare asked with a smile, knowing Rias wouldn't attack her when I was so close by.
"You dirty bitch, I will wait for you to leave this place and I will give you a slow and painful death," Rias said coldly.
"It seems he never told you... your boyfriend here is a being with power above the likes of Great Red and The Infinity Dragon." Raynare said causing Rias to pause.
"Like it or not, we can't hide him from the supernatural world. One day, devils, fallen angels, angels, and humans would line up to marry him. People with power normally have harems. It's not only a way to enjoy himself, but a way to build bonds and connections. So, I'm calling for a truth, and we the fallen angels are willing to support you in your matter against that chicken. News already spread of your strength reaching the ultimate class, for you can forget using the rating game as a way to escape." Raynare said lightly, making Rias bite her lips
"you let your emotions get the better of you, now everyone knows... you need support, and what's better than the fallen angels? This would be a bridge formed between our two races, bring peace, while at the same time helping you out." Raynare said to which Rias turned to leave.
"I don't need any help from you," Rias said coldly, making Raynare sigh lightly.
