Chapter 930 Undercurrents
Another week has come by and it became seemingly more peaceful as everything went on without anything unexpected happening, [They're moving. And they first got Issei-kun.]
The transmission from Benihime just as Kisuke was about to finish his work inside the seal and automate the testing phase, "They got Issei? How?"
[They were ambushed in Lucifaad... Wait, shouldn't you already know about this? Koneko, Kuroka, Akeno, and Irina are with them.]
"Is that so? Well, I trust them and they can do what they need to do. But you have information that is not available to them, right?"
[Right... But before I go into that, let me continue my story. Their group was ambushed by a clone of Ddraig. This clone is stronger than a Dragon King and copies the original's battle style. However, it has no will so it's worse than a beast and can't copy the original's unique abilities. In other words, it's just a mass of power in the shape of a Dragon.]
"Interesting... I wonder who made it?" Since Kisuke already has the list of the members in the Hell Alliance, he already had an idea of who it was but didn't have any evidence to back his claim.
[Though it isn't really the first time of their sighting as they were also seen wreaking havoc randomly in England with Albion's counterpart.]
"It's probably Hell Alliance's way of decreasing DxD's influence and morale."
[Or probably their way of diverting attention while they are preparing.] Benihime added while taking care of her nails, [In any case, the center of the story is another individual that attacks Issei-kun with a Sacred Gear of spiritual nature. According to their primary analysis, it was the Alphecca Tyrant, a Sacred Gear that's on the government's S-class watchlist due to its capability to brainwash Humans.]
"Ah, I've heard about it. It's one of the holy relics if I recall it correctly."
[Yes. There was also the suspicion that it finally evolved into a Longinus like the other holy relics and that was finally proven true after this incident.]
"Oh? What happened to Issei?"
[...] Benihime instead became silent.
"...What? He's not dead, is he?"
['Death' is not a problem for you as long as his soul is intact... It's much worse...]
"Then don't leave me hanging!"
Benihime took a deep breath before finally saying it, [...His horniness is gone.]
"...Uhmmm... The what?" Kisuke froze for a moment and couldn't believe what he just heard.
Benihime also shuddered when she heard about this, [The brat's horniness was gone. Right now, he's acting like the most innocent kid in the world and is striving to discard his name 'Oppai Dragon'.]
It was Kisuke's turn to become silent before speaking a minute later, "...That's one terrifying Sacred Gear."
[I know, right? Do you think I'd be affected if I were to be hit by that?]
"And you suddenly became the kindest woman out there? Please spare me from that horrifying thought. And since it has been some time since that happened and there's still no new report, I'd guess that they still haven't reversed the effect?"
[No. It's under a complex Security Magic that's probably prepared just for that brat and to this hour, they are still trying to decode it. But even if they could successfully reach the spell, I doubt they'd be able to easily reverse the brainwashing since the victim itself didn't want any of it since he thinks he's normal and fine.]
"...Benihime... Don't you dare get hit by that even as a joke."
[I could say the same to you. I'll be the first one who'll kill you.]
Kisuke sighed before continuing, "Setting that aside, it's probably a bait, isn't it?"
[You are correct. The owner of this Sacred Gear, Meredith Ordinton, recently resurfaced in London and now that she suddenly attacked DxD, it's no brainer that they'll go there in an attempt to apprehend her and reverse the effect of the Alphecca Tyrant. On the underside of London is Hell Alliance's mirror Dimension of the city and they're planning to pull the DxD into their territory to take them all out at once... And also probably trap them too.]
"Apollo already made his move?"
[Not him directly but his goons moved the Tartarus in Mongolia. If not for the bug that you planted on Apollo disguised as a disgusting prank, we'd probably be caught off guard.]
"Well, that's the whole point of that attack." By cleaving Mount Olympus in half and almost killing a God, Kisuke was able to plant a bug aimed at Apollo. Thanks to that, Kisuke was able to properly monitor his movements and find out what they had on hand early.
[So when are you coming out?]
"They probably already knew that I'm here so I won't be coming out until the day of their attack. It'd be convenient if there were to think that I won't be participating."
[Well, up to you. I'll just go back home and chill since I've done my part.]
"You won't meet the girls?"
[Too much trouble. Maybe later.]
"If you get bored, go join Claire and the others in their conquest."
[...Are you indirectly telling me that I should wear that embarrassing outfit?]
"So you're indeed watching..." Kisuke had already noticed that Benihime was secretly watching Claire's activity through her necklace, but wasn't sure of it until now because Benihime would always leave her tracks hidden, 'She's having too much fun with espionage.'
[Why wouldn't I watch something so amusing? The supposedly great invaders that you're preparing for are being destroyed by the little girls who don't know anything.]
Kisuke had already guessed that the stronger Evies were on Earth and monitoring the situation but even then, he was surprised at how the 'Crimson Order of Magical Girls Society' are running around, wreaking havoc for a few minutes before retreating, only to return again a few hours later in a different part of the ship and restart the game of chase.
Even though Kisuke and Benihime couldn't read the Evies' expressions, they could tell that they were very distressed in this situation as they had already tried everything and even stopped pulling their punches to get the girls. They also already left the inner Solar System and went past the asteroid belt, but Ophis and Lilith kept marking the ship and even the space they were last in.
Since Ophis was the best at navigating the 'void' the escaping mothership was always on her radar and had no way of escaping.
Normally, the Evies would have already contacted their superiors on Earth to assist them, but thanks to Kisuke's network of self-replicating drones that were already in the billions after mining the asteroid belts for materials, he was able to block the signal they were sending to Earth.
To this moment, the clueless Magical Girls had already destroyed half of the ship and reduced its functionality so severely so that it wouldn't be weird if it were to fail.
[I think it's alright to give them some more work. They're more reliable than most of the people running on the ground.]
"Let me think about it after I figure out how I could avoid the inevitable scolding."
