Chapter 106: God is Dead
--- Chapter 106 ---
"ARRGGGHHHHH~!!"
"Oh, well. What a waste of energy."
Huo Yuhao squinted his eyes and watched Kokabiel getting blasted to the sky. The fallen angel is obviously injured, but Huo Yuhao doesn't have the intention to kill him.
He used Spatial Manipulation to sense the area and clenched his left hand gently to create a wormhole in the sky, connecting it to another wormhole back to the Kuoh Academy.
BOOM!
Kokabiel entered the portal and struck the paved floor near Huo Yuhao with heavy force, causing the ground to shake slightly. He was ridden with injuries, having long diagonal cuts from his left leg to his right shoulder.
The ten-winged fallen angel has a terrified look akin to facing something ridiculous and out of this world. Fear is an understatement when one looks at Kokabiel's wet paper complexion.
[Kokabiel(Heavily Injured/Fainted)]
'Killing him would be easier, but I need a lighter to trigger the three factions.' Huo Yuhao thought while feeling the gazes of the viewer.
He sighed inside and healed Kokabiel's body, waking him up by stabbing Ex-Caliburn onto a non-vital area. After pinning the fallen angel, he wiped a non-existent sweat and said, "Phew, that makes me nervous."
"I expected him to be stronger."
Everyone was speechless inside when hearing Huo Yuhao because this blue-haired young man with black-framed glasses suddenly appeared and beat the living shit out of Kokabiel.
Five minutes not even passed after Clark Kent's arrival, which is ridiculous because they know just how strong Kokabial was. However, the evidence is clear, and they could only swallow the fact nervously.
Huo Yuhao watched Kokabiel gradually gaining his consciousness back and couldn't help but comment, "So slow..."
"Oy, wake up." He kicked the poor fallen angel's face into reality.
BAM!
"HAA? WHERE IS THIS? ARRGGGH!"
Kokabiel shouted immediately upon feeling the pain and looked around with a panicked expression. He wanted to move away, but a long sword stabbed his stomach to the ground.
"Kuugh, my body."
"Morning, Ugly Princess." Huo Yuhao yawned, sitting on the Kokabial's back like a chair.
Kokabiel trembled when hearing this voice and said, "Y-You! What are you?!"
The fallen angel doesn't use "who." anymore in his question because Huo Yuhao is beyond that. He even believed this dangerous creature on his back wasn't human and was an unknown incarnation from another pantheon.
Huo Yuhao chuckled and answered, "How rude. We have met once in the past, you know."
"Anyway, your plan to spark a war between the three factions isn't going to work with me around, Kokabiel." He lifted his glasses slightly, giving Kokabiel a sneak peek into his real identity.
Kokabiel's eyes widened in shock, and he was too stunned to speak because the mysterious young man was actually the Dragon God of Destruction. His breathing becomes unfixed when realizing what is about to happen to him.
Huo Yuhao shrugged and noticed the barrier was getting broken by golden light. He sensed Qianye Ying'er presence a few meters away from his position, smiling because the golden-haired lady sure took her pace carefreely.
"Everyone, stay on your spot." Qianye Ying'er stepped into the scene.
"We are from the Vatican."
Rias Gremory faced Qianye Ying'er with a frown and questioned, "Why should we do that? Kuoh City is under our jurisdiction, and you should have asked for permission to meddle with this problem."
"Heh." Qianye Ying'er looked Rias from up to down, chuckling because this little girl was brave enough to act all mighty when someone was saving her ass from the sudden attack of Kokabiel.
"Since you're the governor of Kuoh City, how could you not know that someone is smuggling something like Holy Swords to this place?"
"If that gentleman over there doesn't help you, you could have lost your precious life." She added casually.
Rias clenched her hand tightly because what this young woman said was true. Her peerage couldn't beat Kokabiel, with her knight being injured and needing help a moment ago.
"Rias-Buchou..." Koneko suddenly pulled Rias's sleeve. "Let this lady be for now. We have to check Yuuto-senpai's injuries first."
"Also, Issei-senpai, stop being a pervert." She continued while narrowing her gold eyes at Issei, who had been eyeing Qianye Ying'er like no tomorrow.
"You look creepy and disgusting."
"B-But, the opp-!" Issei was about to spout something, but Akeno closed his mouth with a handkerchief before he could finish his line.
Qianye Ying'er smiled at Akeno and commented, "You saved him from getting impotent. What a nice instinct you had there."
The mood is extremely awkward because the two sides stare at each other silently without opening their mouths until several magic circles manifest and surround the sky with colorful lights.
Grayfia and Gabriel also appear not long after that, descending slowly from the rooftop to the ground. They are actually still shaken by Ex-Caliburn's power.
'That power is Balance Breaker.' Grayfia observed the Ex-Caliburn that impaled Kokabiel to the ground. And yes, that's still half of the truth because the blast might be the holy sword's strength, but Huo Yuhao used Pagma Sword Dance's Transcend.
Transcend is a sword technique that needs excessive movement and acting, so shouting a cringe-attacking move is necessary. And Huo Yuhao did it for fun because Ex-Caliburn was his first creation with the Great Apostle's Creation.
Huo Yuhao could only blame Pagma for it, but it's not that bad. He would upgrade Pagma Sword Dances sooner or later because today's fight inspired him about a few things.
Meanwhile, Grayfia was thinking about the Ex-Caliburn's strength. Gabriel is wandering around Huo Yuhao with curiosity in her eyes because Huo Yuhao doesn't like his true self at all. If she didn't see him using the magical glasses, she wouldn't be able to recognize him now.
"This is amazing." The angel muttered solemnly.
"Just how could glasses have such a magical property?"
"Also, who's Clark Kent, Father?"
Huo Yuhao smiled at Gabriel and answered, "Well, he's a reporter."
"Then what about Ligma Corp?" Gabriel tilted her head innocently, which made Huo Yuhao's smile harden because he couldn't explain Ligma Joke to her.
Even though the angels are supposed to be pure and out of mortal's sin-inviting desire, Gabriel is a unique case because other seraphs sheltered her too much, to the point she doesn't even know what candy is.
"That's something I made up on the spot. Don't overthink it." He replied with a sigh.
"I see..." Gabriel was somewhat disappointed, making Huo Yuhao feel bad inside.
Huo Yuhao thought about something for a moment and said, "About Clark Kent, we might be able to meet him in the future. It's not impossible, considering I could travel between worlds."
"Oh!" Gabriel's eyes brightened immediately.
Rias suddenly approached Grayfia and nervously asked, "Grayfia-san, what should we do?"
Grayfia shook her head and replied, "Wait. Your older brother will be here soon."
"And there he was."
Sirzechs and other devil kings appeared in the sky, falling to the Kuoh Academy's ground with a shocked look. At first, they can't enter the barrier because Kokabiel uses an awkward magic formula, but a bright golden light suddenly blasts the top off.
"Onii-Sama!" Rias shouted with a happy smile.
Sirzechs waved his hand at his sister, looking around suspiciously because there was no sign of Kokabiel-. "Nevermind." He spotted Kokabiel under Huo Yuhao.
Azazel also appeared with two other people from Grigory, having a dark expression as Kokabiel's action could lead to a problematic event if no one stopped him. Let's not talk about the war between factions because provoking Huo Yuhao was bad enough in his dictionary.
"Vali, where are you staring?" Azazel noticed something was weird with the silver-haired young man.
"You too, Baraqiel." He continued while looking at one of his closest friends.
Vali and Baraqiel stared at Rias Gremory's peerages solemnly for a different reason. The rough-looking fallen angel was looking at his daughter, who probably hated him for past incidents relating to his position as Fallen Angel and Himejima Clan.
"Akeno..." Baraqiel muttered to himself.
As for Lucifer's Descendant, Vali is looking at Issei Hyoudou, the current possessor of Boosted Gear and his destined rival.
"You feel it too, right? Albion?" Vali called his partner.
Albion looked at the red gauntlet with the green gem on Issei's left hand and responded, "Yeah, there was no mistake. It is Ddraig's aura, despite being weaker than the previous host."
"Maybe we should say thanks to Huo Yuhao later for helping us to find them."
Vali's mouth twitched and grumbled, "No."
"What a tsundere..." Albion rolled his eyes.
"When did you learn that term!!" Vali couldn't believe this white dragon at all.
...
Qianye Ying'er looked at Valper Galilei and said, "Valper Galilei, The Vatican will put you in a sinner court soon. We shall judge your action of stealing Excalibur pieces and helping the fallen angel Kokabiel to start a great war again to end."
"Well, the situation is quite tight now."
She glanced at the devil kings and people from Grigori. Even though the Vatican could represent heaven's faction, Gabriel is on Huo Yuhao's side, so she doesn't have to meddle with troublesome parts later.
"This is nerve-wracking." Xenovia warily looked at the Devils and Fallen Angels. "Is this all?"
"Hmm, what are you doing, Irina? Tosca?"
Irina and Tosca are fellow exorcists like Xenovia, with Irina being the Excalibur wielder and Tosca being the Sacred Gear user with barrier-creating ability.
"You see that pervert-looking guy right there?" Irina pointed her finger at Issei. "He's my childhood friend."
"Um, I also have a friend there. His name is Yuuto." Tosca looked at the bloodied Yuuto lying on the ground.
A bright light descended from the sky, making everyone gaze at it. And saw Micheal beautifully land on the ground with a scattering golden hue.
Huo Yuhao wore off Clark Kent's Glasses and commented, "You're coming grandly for someone late to a party."
"What?! Who is this guy? Where is Clark Kent?" Issei shouted without a break.
Koneko landed an uppercut on Issei's chin and said, "Shut up, Issei-senpai."
"..."
"Anyway, everyone is here." Huo Yuhao looked at them all.
"Shall we start this meeting?"
"First of all..."
"God is Dead."
