Chapter 52: Gasper, Koneko, & Akeno!
(7380 Words!)
(An: "I'm addicted to listening Taylor Swift Love Story, and Oh my Johnny on loop. It's catchy af man.)
Anos: "I can't wait for their reactions for my plans tomorrow~ It'll definetly be plenty of fun. I truly can't wait for the outcome of the new and improved peerage strength. It's honestly really tempting to just use my omniscients, but where's the fun in any of that. Afterall, it's always difficult to be patient, but to waste the rewards of patience is even worse."
-------(Scene Break)-------
The next day everyone involved with Anos's training returned to Delsgade. When they entered the castle, they were met by Tamayo who bowed respectfully as she spoke.
Tamayo: "Good Morning everyone. Anos is currently waiting for all of you in his throne room."
Serafall greeted Tamayo cheerfully as she spoke.
Serafall: "Good Morning! You must be miss Tamayo!"
Tamayo: "That indeed I am. A pleasure to meet you Lady Leviathan."
Tamayo then bowed respectfully causing Serafall to pout as she spoke.
Serafall: "Mouu! Just call me Serafall! We're all disciples of Anos afterall."
Tamayo just nodded her head and spoke.
Tamayo: "Very well then Serafall. Let's all head in to meet with Anos-Sama."
Everyone nodded their heads as Tamayo began leading them through the castle. A minute into the walk to the throne room, Sirzechs questioned curiously.
Sirzechs: "Miss Tamayo. I have several questions I'd like to ask you if that's alright?"
Tamayo: "There isn't much time to answer all your questions. I can only answer one question for now before we arrive to the throne room."
Sirzechs nodded his head and was about to ask where Ajuka was but ultimately decided against asking such a dumb question knowing he's probably still in the library with Azazel. So he decided to ask Tamayo a different question instead of his original one.
Sirzechs: "What is your connection to Anos Voldigoad, and how did you meet him?"
Tamayo: "Simply put, he just appeard in my world one day, caused alot of chaos, summoned Death itself to take the Demon progenitor in my world to hell, and then turned several of the people in my world into his disciples, and left for the next world."
Tamayo's words confused most of the people present to become confused except for Rias, her peerage and Grafia who were all present when Tamayo first explained her origins. And though they wanted to question her more, they couldn't as they had arrived before the massive throne room where Anos sat atop his throne looking down upon everyone as he spoke.
Anos: "Let's begin your second day of training."
After he spoke, the space around them distorted, and once more, they all found themselves brought to the same space where they were trained the previous day. Anos then looked at Tamayo and spoke.
Anos: "You may leave for your job now."
Tamayo nodded her head before bowing respectfully to Anos and leaving for Kuoh Academy with both Ophis and Lilith following her. Once she had left, Anos appeared before everyone, as he spoke.
Anos: "Today each of you will be learning something different as compared to yesterday where you all learnt the same thing. And I want you all to understand that not everyone will be learning the same thing. So rather you choose to share what you've learnt for the day, or not that's all up to you."
Everyone nodded their heads before they were all brought to separate parts of the space and Anos appearing before them.

(3rd Person Pov)
Right now where Anos stood, he was surrounded by bat's trying to obscure his vision with Gasper's ability to manipulate and transform into bat's as Anos spoke calmly.
Anos: "You won't be gaining any benefits from trying to simply obscure my vision Gasper. While your ability is good for a quick escape or reconnaissance, it's pointless in this space."
The bat's stopped flying around Anos, and gathered together turning back into Gasper who looked down sadly as he spoke.
Gasper: "I'm sorry. I've never been in an actual fight before so I'm not sure what to do exactly."
Anos: "Thats not true. You know what you can do, your just too scared to do it. As a bishop, you have the highest potential for use in magic. Your speciality being shadow and darkness magic inherited from your vampiric side of your family, and you have hight talents for using magic used by human magician's."
Gasper was rather surprised at Anos's word's as he questioned curiously.
Gasper: "Umm... Excuse me Anos-Sensei."
Anos: "You wish to know how I know of your origins."
Anos's words weren't a question, but more of an obvious answer to the young Dhampir's thought's. And he confirmed it by nodding his head slowly.
Anos: "The reason I know that your a Dhampir is because of my ability to see the information that the information that exists within the planet. Or if you want to, just chalk it up to clairvoyance."
Gasper blinked in confusion as he looked at Anos in confusion. Anos then explained what he meant.
Anos: "The world you live in stores the information of every person who exists in the past, present, and future. Be they human, monster, God's, Devils, Fallen, Angels. There's nothing that the world does not know. I believe you should be aware of something called the Akashic Record's?"
Gasper nodded his head and Anos continued.
Anos: "Unlike the Akashic Record's that's said to store the information of the entire universe be it the past, present or even the future. This planet has its own form of Akashic Records that keeps track of the information of every entity on earth. Even the Dragon God's that exist within the Dimensional Gap are not exempted from their information being stored within the world."
Gasper looked awed by what Anos told him, before he was snapped out of it by Anos speaking.
Anos: "Moving on, let's begin training your Darkness and Shadow magic. For now, we will not use your sacred gear, and instead will have you focused on developing your Mana Manipulation, Mana Zone, Reinforcement, Black Flash, as well as your darkness, shadow, and human magic. You have the benefit of not having to use complex equations to use human magic thanks to being a devil because you have the advantage of free creativity thanks to your Demonic Power's. Once the rating game is over, you will also begin training your sacred gear. You may not know it, but your sacred gear can reach the Longinus Class once you begin understanding it's true power's."
Gasper looked horrified at the number of things he must train, especially his sacred gear. Though he was surprised to hear that his sacred gear has the potential to reach the Longinus Class, he was still rather conflicted on training it.
Anos: "Do not hesitate Gasper Vladi. Understand that you must grow stronger if you wish to help Rias. As the heir to the Gremory household, as well as the younger sister to the Satan Lucifer, there are many people who will come after her. If you aren't strong enough, how do you plan to protect those you care for the most?"
Anos's words seemed to have some affect on Gasper as he clenched his fist with a fire seen in his eye's even if he still wasn't looking him in the eyes.
Anos: "How about an extra bit of training motivation? Your childhood friend Valerie Tepes is still alive."
Gasper was confused at Anos's words at the beginning, but the moment he heard the name of his childhood friend Valerie being alive he looked into Anos's eyes. His own eye's expressing the emotions he felt at the moment. He was full of shock, joy, disbelief and hope. His body was trembling as he spoke.
Gasper: "Valerie is alive?"
Anos: "She is. And the only way you'll ever meet her again is when you're strong enough to."
Anos's word's caused Gasper to worry.
Gasper: "Only when I'm strong enough to? Is she in any danger?"
Anos: "Not exactly. She's fine, just not in any position to reach out to you. Not until you've grown stronger."
Gasper's eye's shined with determination as he spoke.
Gasper: "Then I'll grow stronger to be able to help Rias buchou and Valerie!"
Gasper then realised he was looking Anos directly in his eyes as he turned his head away. Anos snorted in amusement before continuing to have the young Dhamphir train the abilities he's taught alongside hand to hand combat. Once several more hours has passed, Anos made Gasper focus on playing video games that requires him to be extremely focused. It confused Gasper greatly, but he still began practicing playing the game.
--------(Scene Break)---------
(Koneko's POV)
Koneko knew that Anos was increadibly strong, especially when he taught her things like Mana Zone, Mana Burst, Reinforcement, and Mana Manipulation. But because of this, she assumed that he specialised as a mage with little experience in close combat due to his magical prowess. But sparring with him right now proved her thoughts wrong.
(Boom!)
Anos captured her wrist with his right hand, and punched her left kidney causing her to gasp in pain before delivering a hook to her right kidney and an upper cut to her chin. And though they were quick and precise Anos barely used any strength in his punches this causing the young nekoshou to just fall to her knees disoriented with both her kidneys in pain as Anos spoke.
Anos: "You underestimated my strength, and skill in martial arts, and became overconfident in your increased physical abilities as a rook alongside your reinforcement magic and Mana Zone thinking that I wouldn't be able to harm you as you believed I was more of a mage than a close combat fighter."
Koneko groaned before getting herself up, and getting into a wrestling position as she took a deep breath and vanished from where she stood appearing infront of Anos with the intention of grabbing his leg's for a takedown. Anos merely sidestepped her attempt before delivering an Ax-Kick knocking her to the ground as he proceeded to sit on her back angering Koneko deeply as he spoke nonchalantly.
Anos: "To predictable. You overely on your wrestling and grappling techniques to pin your opponent's and beat them once they're in your grasp. However, don't go assuming that will always work. There are those obviously superior to yourself in every way. No matter how great your technique will be, it's pointless if you can't reach or harm your opponents."
Koneko gritted her teeth as she spoke.
Koneko: "Then what do you expect me to do huh?!"
Anos answered her question with an obvious tone of voice as he continued to sit on her back.
Anos: "The fastest way for you to grow is through accepting your heritage. Embrace the powers you have the most natural affinity for. That being Senjutsu, Yojutsu, and Touki. It'll allow you to further strengthen yourself alongside reinforcement without the many drawbacks of regular reinforcement
Koneko: "I REFUSE!"
Koneko spat out her words full of venom and hatred for her power's. Anos sighed in exasperation as he spoke.
Anos: "*Sigh*What a pain you are. Alright then, it's rather obvious that the fact that you heard the stories of how your sister went berserk and killed her master using Senjutsu caused you to fear using it because of the fact that you don't wish to bring harm to your current master am I right? Well great news for you, Senjutsu is actually relatively safe to use."
Koneko: "Huh?"
Anos: "Senjutsu is an extremely powerful technique to use once mastered. It is the power to control the flow of life energy or ki in living beings. Using it, one can strengthen both their internal and external bodies or even cause vegetation around them to bloom or wither. Senjutsu users are able to sense the ki and auras of others thus letting them track targets from far away distances.
It can also be used to see through illusions by detecting the flow of the spirit or ki of others. But the price for power never comes cheap. Senjutsu has a fatal flaw, as while it lets the user read and handle spirit power, it could also take in the malice and ill will that flows in the world, potentially corrupting the user as what you happened to believe happened to your sister Kuroka."
Koneko: "She went berserk because of using Senjutsu! Even you said that it's 'fatal flaw' is the absorption of the world's malice!"
Anos: "And? Do you think that such an ability can't be trained to handle the world's malice? Your sister never went berserk and killed her master because she used senjutsu young lady. She killed him because she wanted to protec-"
Anos's word's were cut off as Koneko screamed.
Koneko: "That's a lie! She never cared about me at all! If she did she would have saved me when I was going to be executed because of her actions!"
Anos once more released an exasperated sigh continuing to sit on Koneko's back as his hand tore the space infront of them before a surprised shriek could be heard as Anos pulled someone out from the torn space as they shrieked.
???: "NYAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH?!!! OOF."
Anos threw the person on the ground as Koneko's eye's widened in terror at the sight of the beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure, long black hair with split bangs, and hazel-gold eyes with cat-like pupils sitting before her.
Her attire consists of a black kimono, a yellow obi, a set of golden beads, and an ornately detailed headband. The kimono features a red interior and it is open at her shoulders, giving view to her large breasts which rival those of Rias and Akeno in terms of size. It was Koneko's older sister Kuroka.
And as Kuroka took notice of where she was, she scanned the place she was in warily using Senjutsu before her eyes made contact with Koneko as she tilted her head in confusion before she realised that someone was sitting atop her back. The moment Kuroka glanced at Anos, her body suddenly shuddered in dread as she fell to the ground and began throwing up on the ground crying stunning Koneko at such
Kuroka: '*Blergggh* Who is this that possesses such dreadful and horrifying malice?! It's like I'm gazing at an endless abyss of malice, evil, animosity and Destruction! I can't stand being in his presence any longer otherwise I will die from madness! Wait! Why is he sitting atop of Shirone?! Does he want to harm her?!'
In less than a few seconds, Kuroka had already began losing her mind from the sheer evil and malice that exists around Anos. An endless void of malice, and evil that would make God's with divinities about malice and evil look infinitely insignificant. She hastily turned off her Senjutsu to prevent herself from dying from the madness of evil.
She gasped for breath before dissappearing from where she stood. Anos already saw what she was going to do, and allowed it by getting off Koneko as Kuroka appeared behind Anos, but she wasn't alone as Koneko was in her embrace.
But Kuroka was far from being fine. Her body wasn't responding at all, and Koneko felt her sister's heart had stopped beating. But it was the expression on Kuroka's face that scared her deeply. It was an expression of endless pain, agony, and anguish as Koneko trembled and spoke.
Koneko: "W-what happened to her?"
Anos: "She died due to her mind and soul being broken and destroyed. Don't worry, I kept her alive in the first place to make this training faster."
With a dismissive wave of his finger's, Kuroka's heart began beating again, her mind and soul was also repaired as he resurrected her. When she came back to life, her heart wasn't even beating regularly, as it was more so pounding like a drum than beating normally but Kuroka was alive. Kuroka was surprised that she was still alive not even realising she wasn't in her Nekoshou form. She glanced at Koneko for a bit before she stood infront of her protectively as she questioned Anos.
Kuroka: "Who are you? And what do you want with Shirone?! And what happened to all that malice?!"
Anos: "My name is Anos Voldigoad. I don't actually want anything with your sister. All I want is for you to explain everything about what happened that made you kill your previous master to help rid your sister of her pointless fear of Senjutsu. And the malice, I simply hid it away so you wouldn't die again."
Kuroka's eye's narrowed as she spoke.
Kuroka: "What's your goal? There's no way you'd simply drag me here just to tell Shirone what actually happened that day."
Anos: "That's exactly what I want you to do."
Kuroka frowned as she spoke.
Kuroka: "And what makes you so confident she will believe what I say? What if she doesn't believe me"
Anos: "I'll deal with that problem when it happens. For now start talking little cat."
Kuroka's lips thinned before she let out a reluctant sigh as she turned to Koneko got down to eye level with her as she spoke.
Kuroka: "Shirone.... I want you to understand that everything I'm about to tell you is the absolute truth. I really hoped I'd never have to tell you what happend and allow you to continue living with the Gremory Heiress, but now I have no choice but to tell you everything."
Thus Kuroka began recounting everything that she happened the night she killed her previous master. From how she learned that he'd wanted to use her for his own experiments, and how she decided to kill him and run away to protect her.
Kuroka: "And that's everything that happened..."
Koneko's eyes were wide open with disbelief as she heard the entire story. Kuroka said that everything she just told her was the truth, and yet...
Koneko: "I... I don't believe you..."
Kuroka looked hurt by Koneko's word's but she still laughed lightly as she said.
Kuroka: "I'm not surprised... I'm s-"
Kuroka's words were cut off as Anos spoke.
Anos: "Alright thats enough. Kuroka, reactivate your Nekoshou form. You will be sparring against your sister."
Anos's words shocked both Kuroka and Koneko.
Kuroka: "You want me to spar with Shirone? And what do you mean reactivate my nekoshou form? I'm always in my nekos-"
Kuroka froze as she realised that she was no longer in her nekoshou form. She swiftly reentered her nekoshou form before speaking once more.
Kuroka: "*Ahem* Alright~Nya. What makes you think I'd want to spar with Shirone~Nya? "
Anos: "You have no choice in this matter. Koneko lacks experience fighting stronger opponents. Even with the new abilities she's learned, it's best she gains some real combat experience with what she's learnt so far."
Kuroka: "... *Sigh* Alright~Nya. I'll spar with Shirone~Nya"
Anos nodded and looked to Koneko as he spoke.
Anos: "Kuroka should be atleast mid ultimate class in terms of strength and ability. This spar will benefit you greatly to show you the gap in strength and ability that you'll have to catch up to."
Koneko's balled her fists before she nodded her head. Koneko took a deep breath and spread her mana into the surroundings creating a sort of domain that enclosed around herself and Kuroka causing the older Nekoshou too look on curiously at what was happening. Koneko's skin started glowing with circuit patterns spreading all over her body and magical energy began condensing around her feet as she leaned her body forward and launched herself forward completely vanishing from Kuroka's vision.
Kuroka's eye's widened in disbelief before it turned to one of pain as Koneko's fist buried itself into Kuroka's gut causing her to be sent flying. Koneko immediately chased after Kuroka who had recovered from the powerful blow with Senjutsu as she thought to herself.
Kuroka: 'What the hell~Nya?! That strike was too strong for someone like Shirone to be able to pull off! Maybe it has something to do with this aura around us~Nya? Not to mention, she gathered and condensed magical energy onto the soles of her feet, and even used some similar ability to Senjutsu's physical enhancement~Nya. I guess I'll have to get a little serious now~Nya.'
Kuroka began to strengthen her body using touki and started firing multiple Senjutsu Aura bullets. Koneko dodged the aura bullets sent her way, and waved her hand causing multiple fireballs to strike at Kuroka all around her seemingly with no escape. Kuroka used her immense mastery over teleportation magic to avoid getting hit as her cat like eyes narrowed as she understood what had just happend.
Kuroka: 'She's using the magical energy in the surroundings to substitute her own magical energy and cast spells anywhere she wants. Not to mention, the condensed magical energy just now, and the ability that's helping boost her physical attributes. You've grown stronger Shirone, as your sister I can't help but feel proud of your growth. However, your still far too inexperienced to beat me~Nya
Kuroka used her ability to create illusions to distract Koneko and then hid herself using Senjutsu to sneak up on her. Koneko paused her advance noticing multiple copies of her sister. She clicked her tounge in annoyance and waved her hand causing massive flames to appear all around the illusions before incinerating them.
Koneko: "What?! We're they all illusions?"
Koneko suddenly groaned as she was kicked from the back and striked by multiple Senjutsu bullets causing her to lose control of the mana Zone she set up as Kuroka spoke.
Kuroka: "Forgive me Shirone, but I won't be making it easy for you~Nya."
Anos appeared beside Koneko as he spoke.
Anos: "Have you noticed it? She's using Senjutsu, and isn't suffering from the world's malice. I can guarentee you that if you used Senjutsu in conjuction with the other abilities you've learned, you'd be able to reach the level of strength needed to fight Ultimate Class beings."
Koneko gritted her teeth as she spoke.
Koneko: "I'll beat her without Senjutsu!"
Leaving those words behind Koneko rushed back to fight her sister.
Anos: "Then I guess it's about time I take the more faster approach to force her into using Senjutsu."
Anos waited an extra ten minutes for Koneko to use Senjutsu as he would always ask if she was going to start using Senjutsu to which she'd always reply with a no even when she kept being knocked away by Kuroka. As the sparring between the two sisters continue to increase in intensity, it was suddenly broken by a familiar voice that caused Koneko to freeze. As she turned her head around, she saw her king Rias Gremory.
But it was the fact that Anos stood right behind her with his right arm pulled backwards. Koneko immediately abandoned her spar against her sister and lunged towards Rias with all her remaining strength. However, she realised she wouldn't make it.
At that moment, she recalled Anos's words about the level of power she could temporarily achieve through Senjutsu. She gritted her teeth and for the first time in her life, she used Senjutsu. The moment she used Senjutsu, she grew a pair of white cat ears and a pair of matching white tails, and her pupils become more cat-like. With a newfound source of power, Koneko immediately enhanced her physical attributes using Touki and Reinforcement magic. She also condensed a large amount of spiritual energy onto the soles of her feet as she vanished at a speed that placed her at the high end rank of ultimate class devil's.
Koneko & Kuroka: ((?!))
Both sister's were shocked because the moment Koneko touched Rias, she phased right through her and immediately Kuroka understood what just happened as she muttered.
Kuroka: "Illusion magic."
Koneko heard her sister's word's as she glared at Anos furiously. Anos seemed amused by her anger as he spoke.
Anos: "See, it wasn't that bad."
Koneko: "Your awful! Despicable! Terrible! Scum!"
Koneko spat those words out venomously as Anos chuckled amusingly and replied.
Anos: "Goodness young lady. Watch your language."
Anos's words irritated Koneko even further as he spoke.
Anos: "Congratulations on your increased strength though. Don't misunderstand me. I wouldn't have mind taking time to help you get over your fear of using Senjutsu. However, there is the fact that I won't be staying in this world for long, and that soon there will be a powerful group that will appear and an enemy that not even the Hindu God Shiva can deal with without destroying the world."
Anos's word's deeply shocked both Koneko and Kuroka. Kuroka immediately asked what monster was he talking about that not even the most powerful god of the Hindu pantheon could defeat without destroying the world.
Anos: "Simple really. The beast of the end Trihexia. Otherwise known as the beast of 666. The only ones that could actually beat it would be either myself, Ophis or Great Red."
Kuroka paled at Anos's word's as she screamed.
Kuroka: "And your just telling us this now~Nya?! How in the world do you expect us to fight such a beast~Nya?!"
Anos: "Through training hard of course."
Anos's words drove the older Nekoshou mad as she grasped her head in frustration and spoke.
Kuroka: "Well excuse me~Nya! We aren't anywhere near as powerful as Lord Shiva, or the Dragon God's~Nya!"
Anos: "Indeed. In comparison to Shiva and the two Dragon God's, your level of strength is abysmally smaller compared to them. However, your goal is only to grow strong enough to not be a burden during the inevitable fight against the beast of the end. So, I'll be entrusting you to train Koneko in Senjutsu, Touki, Youjutsu, Kasha, Sealing, and presence concealment."
Kuroka: "That's only if Shirone will be fine with me training her~Nya. Even if you did help her to use Senjutsu, it's pointless if she end's up not ever reactivating it~Nya."
Anos looked to Koneko who was no longer in her Nekoshou form as she adjusted herself to the power she felt flowing through her body when she activated senjutsu for the first time. Anos crossed his arms and spoke.
Anos: "Koneko Toujou. Understand that the power your currently using is your own power. To reject it is the same as rejecting a part of yourself. You can do it, but it'll always remain as a reminder that your not using and unleashing your full potential thus stunting your growth. It doesn't matter even if it's a power that could potentially drive you mad. Learn to use it, control it, and master it. The moment you accept that the power you fear so much is just another part of yourself, your abilities will grow exponentially faster."
Koneko: "I... I'm willing to start learning how to properly use senjutsu. However! I'm never forgiving you for tricking me."
Anos merely smiled in amusement as he spoke.
Anos: "Feel free to. You'll just end up on the list of entity's who won't forgive me thinking it affects me in anyway. And the list is quite long."
Anos's words were full of amusement and melancholy remembering the number of times cosmic entity's said they'd never forgive him for everything they could think of.
Koneko sighed before her expression turned serious as she asked.
Koneko: "There's just one more thing I'd like to know.... Did my sister really not go berserk that day?"
Anos: "She didn't. She faked getting drunk on power and killed her master not out of losing control of herself, but to protect you from being experimented on to create an artificial Super Devil."
Koneko: "Should I forgive her?"
Anos: "That choice is yours to make, and for yourself and Kuroka to bear with. You've got a long life ahead of you if you don't act irrationally to decide rather you want to forgive her or not."
Koneko merely nodded her head before turning to Kuroka with a fire burning in her eye's as she activated her Nekoshou form causing a pair of cat ears and a tail to appear she spoke.
Koneko: "Kuroka~Nya.... Please teach me how to master senjutsu and it's various applications~Nya!"
Kuroka gazed into her sister's eye's. She was finally given a chance to make up with her sister, she won't let this opportunity go away!
Kuroka: "Absolutely~Nya! I'll help you become stronger Shirone~Nya!"
As the two sisters began training, Anos's gaze landed upon Akeno who was being trained by himself at the moment as he thought to himself.
Anos: 'Let's get through to her and then the rest should be fine.'
---------(Scene Break)-----------
Anos was watching as Akeno was practicing her magical energy maniplulation by slowly releasing her Demonic energy all around the space full of totems without using too much of her energy and trying to tune it to match the level of mana Manipulation complexity each individual totem required. Once she stopped to take a break, Anos spoke.
Anos: "Akeno. I want you to start using your Fallen Angel power's. You might be much stronger than before, but you'll eventually hit a roadblock because you refuse to use the power of your Fallen Angel heritage."
Akeno went silent at Anos's word's as she sighed and spoke in an unamused tone.
Akeno: "I'm sorry Voldigoad-San. But I refuse to ever use my Fallen Angel prowess ever. You have no idea what it means for me to use it."
Anos: "It means acknowledging the fact that you are Baraqiels daughter."
Akeno froze for a second before she nodded her head. Anos continued speaking.
Anos: "To reject your Fallen Angel half is basically the same as rejecting a part of yourself. You can do it, but it'll always remain as a stark reminder that you are the daughter of a Fallen Angel and a Human. No matter how you try rejecting it, you'll end up causing more harm then good."
Anos's words angered Akeno as she screamed in frustration.
Akeno: "What do you know about me?! You have no idea what I went through that made me reject using my fallen half! I even went as far as turning into a devil, and still the proof of my Fallen heritage remains!"
Akeno then summoned forth her wings. One was the wing of a bat, and the other the wing of a crow. As she continued screaming.
Akeno: "Look at me! An abomination between human, fallen, and devil! I thought becoming a devil would help get rid of my Fallen Angel powers, instead I became an abomination of three race's!"
Anos stayed silent for a bit before speaking.
Anos: "There once was a boy born from the dead corpse of his mother. A child that wasn't allowed to be born because his parents were so strong they feared that a child between the two of them would grant him strength and talents that would allow him to grow strong enough to destroy the hierarchy that these entity's have ruled over for billions of years.
He trained endlessly from the moment he burst out from his mother's womb with nothing to himself not even a name. He made an oath that he'd grow strong enough to kill all those who took his parents away from him. And after endlessly training he appeared before one of his parent's killer, and granted himself a name before killing them and moving on to killing every single entity that was involved in his parent's death. And eventually he grew to be the strongest in the entire omniverse to never allow anything that belongs to himself to ever be taken away like his parents."
Akeno: "I'm sorry."
Anos: "You have no reason to be sorry. The boy is but a ficticious character."
Akeno gave a crestfallen smile as she spoke.
Akeno: "I see. But even so, I don't seem to understand how does this 'Story' have anything to do with my Fallen Half?"
Anos: "The boy lost both his family before he was even born because they weren't strong enough to protect him. But did he ever blame them for their weakness? Did he curse the power gifted to him from his parents and decided not to use the gifts granted to him? Afterall, it's thanks to his parents that he was even able to grow strong fast."
Akeno fell silent at Anos's word's but she spoke.
Akeno: "I'm sorry. I think I need a little time to think about what you just said."
Akeno began walking away as Anos spoke.
Anos: "Time is something you don't have much of. If you ever want to grow strong enough to keep your king and other peerage members safe, you have to choose rather you'll go through with using your Fallen Angel prowess or not."
Akeno stayed silent as she whispered.
Akeno: "I'm... I'm just not sure."
Anos hummed as he spoke.
Anos: "Maybe this will help you decide."
Akeno: "What are yo-(?!)"
Akeno froze as she saw her king and best friend Rias Gremory appearing infront of Anos with her back facing him who had his hand pulled backwards seemingly preparing to pierce her chest.
Rias: "Huh? What am I doing here? Akeno? What are y-"
Rias's words were cut off as Akeno screamed.
Akeno: "Rias! Run away! No don't please! I'll use i-"
Akeno's words died in her throat as Rias's heart was pushed out of her body by Anos's hand. Rias's eyes were wide as saucers as she spat out blood and her eyes began turning hazy as she saw her heart sticking out her chest still beating with blood spurting out before Anos crushed her heart infront of Rias's queen and best friend Akeno.
(Squelch!) (Splurt)
Anos pulled out his blood stained hand as Akeno screamed.
Akeno: "RIAS! WHY?! I SAID I'D USE IT! SO WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO HER?!"
Anos didn't reply as RIAS raised her hand towards Akeno weakly as she mouthed the words.
Rias: "(I'm Sorry Akeno)"
With a beautiful smile on her face, she fell to the ground where a puddle of blood formed where she laid dead. Anos then replied.
Anos: "This happened simply because you were weak. Do you think the world will grant you all the time you need foolish little girl?"
Akeno: "NONONONONONO! Please I beg you, bring Rias back to life! I'll give you my own life for hers if need be! Just please... I don't want to lose my best friend too."
Anos: "No."
Akeno fell silent at Anos's words as she continued looking at her dead friends body, with the puddle of blood reaching her shoes staining them crimson with Rias's blood. Then a small chuckle came out of Akeno's mouth.
Akeno: "Ufufufufu..."
Holy thunder began cackling in the sky of the alternate space as Akeno's laugh began getting louder and louder.
Akeno: "UFUFUFUFU UFUFUFUFU.... HAHA HAHAHAHAHAAHA!"
Anos looked dissaspointed as he spoke.
Anos: "It'd only took seeing your best friend die to drive you insane. Your not that strong mentally it seems."
Anos's words cause Akeno to stop laughing as she glanced at him in pure animosity as she spoke.
Akeno: "You're right. It's because I'm weak that Rias died. It's because I wasn't strong or fast enough that I couldn't save her. Fine! You want me to use the power of my Fallen half that badly?! Then here you go!"
Akeno summoned her Fallen angel wings, flew up into the sky and used mana Zone to surround the space in her Mana Zone's domain before she raised her hand as the holy thunder in the air grew stronger and more erratic. Akeno brought her hand down causing a massive bolt of Holy Thunder to strike Anos. But she wasn't done over and over again she kept striking Anos with her Holy Thunder without stopping at all. She even summoned several spears of light the size of a small house and dropped them onto Anos alongside her Holy Thunder. After 45 minutes of continuously casting high level spells without pause, she stopped and began panting from exhaustion as she returned back to the ground with her Fallen Angel wings dissappearing.
Akeno: "Take that *Huff* You bastard! Did you enjoy making me use my Fallen powers!"
Anos's voice rang out. His tone full of amusement.
Anos: "Too weak. Did you actually think that using any kind of magic could hurt me?"
Akeno looked on in disbelief as Anos walked through the smokescreen without even a scratch on him as he smiled and dusted of the nonexistent debri on his clothes as he spoke.
Anos: "That was certainly fun wouldn't you say so?"
Akeno frowned and sighed as she spoke.
Akeno: "How could you call that fun when you killed my king and best friend simply to have me use my Fallen Angel power's."
Anos: "Rias isn't dead. You can still clearly feel the Queen piece inside of your soul. The Rias I killed was an illusion."
Anos then pointed to the dead body of Rias that faded away into wisps of air. Akeno fell to her knees tears of joy and happiness streaming down her face as she realised that Rias was still alive.
Anos: "Now then, starting from tomorrow onwards you'll be training both your Devil and Fallen magic."
Akeno: "How can you act so casual and expect me to just listen to your instructions after breaking my trust?!"
Anos tilted his head as he answered her.
Anos: "I never told you to trust me. You chose to trust me of your own accord after just a day of training with me."
Akeno went silent as she had no way to refute his words. She sighed before speaking.
Akeno: "Your the worst you know that?"
Anos: "You speak as though this would be the first time I've been told that."
Akeno got irritated as she spoke angrily.
Akeno: "I HATE YOU!"
Anos raised an eyebrow in amusement as he summoned a book and it's pages flipped itself revealing a blank space under Koneko's name as Anos wrote down Akeno's name and closed the book as he spoke.
Anos: "Congratulations on discovering your hatred for me. But you better get in line, as there are plenty before you who still harbor hatred for me."
Akeno just gave up before she went back to training.
Anos: "Don't forget to practice your Fallen Magic."
Akeno remained silent for a bit before she asked.
Akeno: "Do.... Do you think I should forgive my father for what he's done?"
Anos: "Should you be asking someone you hate such a personal question?"
Akeno: "I may hate you, but that doesn't mean I can't get your opinion."
Anos: "In the end, it's all up to you. Rather you forgive him or not is something only you can decide and at the end of the day yourself and your father will bear whatever happens because of your decision."
Akeno: "I see. Thank you for your opinion."
Anos nodded his head and turned away as his eye's gazed through the alternate space they were in and locked onto the leader of the Hindu Pantheon Shiva as the two had a silent conversation as Anos telepathically replied.
Anos: 'You have no desire to grow any stronger as your already comfortable with your level of strength. I have no use for pawns that don't entertain me. And you need not worry about Avos, and Trihexia. They both will go soon, I'm just going to use them for my own entertainment before I move onto the next world.'
Shiva bowed respectfully as Anos ended their conversation before he spoke blandly to Akeno who was hugging him from behind, her massive breasts pressing against his back.
Anos: "May I ask what did you think would happen when you hugged me? And why are you even hugging someone you said you hate? Are you perhaps suffering from idiocy?
Akeno didn't answer and instead hugged him tighter as Anos sighed and spoke.
Anos: "*Sigh* Get off me. You have no need to be getting so sympatheticall and upset over a story that happened long ago."
Akeno still didn't let go of the hug as she questioned.
Akeno: "Do you not miss your parent's."
Anos sighed before he grabbed her arm and spoke.
Anos: "Tell the All-Father I said hello."
Akeno: "What are yo-"
Akeno couldn't finish her sentence as she was flung away by Anos in the direction of the Norse Pantheon.
(Asgard: fortress Gladsheim.)
As the chief deity of Norse mythology, Odin has the appearance of an elderly man with long, grey hair, and a matching beard. He wears a gold and white monocle over his left eye, without the addition of the chain.
Odin wears a robe, which is short and blue with a gold lining on the top and bottom of the collar, the sleeves of the robe and at the front of his robes all the way down to the bottom of the robe. The rest of his robe is white with matching shoes. Odin also wears a golden and black hat, which is sectioned off into five mini sections that sport either the color black or gold, the top, middle, and bottom is gold and the sections in black are below and above the middle one. The black section features blue orbs at the ordinal points: north, east, west, south etc, and between the blue orbs are red dots.
And at this moment he sat on his throne bored out of his mind reading reports from his Raven's about rather they hand found the individual responsibile for the Holy Energy which surpassed the biblical God, and the God Slayer weapon.
Odin: "*Sigh* I'm getting too old for this. To think I'd be spending almost all my time stuck in this dned throne room reading reports about the new anomalies such as the Holy Energy felt in Japan, and the Godslayer weapon felt in Greece. Oh God won't you have mercy on this old man and let him die crushed under a woman's breasts..... Oh wait, I'm a God. Why am I even praying to myself? I think I'll rest up for today."
As he got off his throne preparing to get some rest, his instincts warned him of an impending danger. But he was unable to react to his instincts because suddenly appearing before him, we're a pair of large and bountiful breasts hidden behind what seemed to be a human school girl outfit. His last thoughts before getting struck was.
Odin: 'God does exist! Let me die happily to Snu-snu and go to Valhala a happy man!'
His face was struck by the pair of breasts that knocked him out cold and sent him crashing into his throne alarming the castles residence who rushed to check on Odin only to look on in dissapointment at the Old God's expression of joy and pervertedness as they believed he simply passed out after he tried some strange experiment again. Once confirming that he was indeed alive, they simply left the God on his broken throne bleeding from his head as his mysterious assaulter would never be found.
(An 2: "I'm sorry for releasing it so late. I got lazy during the previous month, and rushed to write this chapter three days ago. I've also been busy with college as I'm in my third semester where we gotta prepare ourselves to begin our internships for our 4th semester next year.
I know I said I will make them despise Anos, but I ended up not thinking of any solid reason how to make that achievable. Also! Electrical engineering is so fun, yet so damned stressful I tell yall. Till then, I'll see yall next month with the next chapter, hopefully on time.
And, screw the training arc. Next chapter gonna be the new and improved peerage strength vs Riser. I just realised how little time I have to properly write with a limit of 20 chapters per world.")
