Kiba held his two demonic swords and instantly attacked me. Instantly, the blades went through me, phasing through my form like it was made of smoke. His eyes widened with shock and frustration.

Rias:We'll just have to stop you

Rias said with determination.

I grinned.

Me:Come and try.

They all rushed at me, each moving with the speed and precision of seasoned warriors. But they were no match for my transcendent powers.

Kiba was the first to reach me, his swords dancing in a blur of steel. I barely had to move, my body phasing in and out of existence as I dodged his attacks effortlessly. His strikes were powerful and precise, but they might as well have been cutting through air.

Me:is that the best you can do, Kiba?

I taunted, my voice echoing eerily.

Rias and Akeno flanked me from both sides. Rias summoned a barrage of crimson demonic energy blasts while Akeno called forth a storm of lightning. I raised a hand, and with a mere thought, a barrier formed around me, absorbing their attacks. The energy crackled and dissipated harmlessly against the shield.

Me:You're going to have to try harder than that

I said, my grin widening.

Koneko charged at me next, her fists glowing with destructive power. She aimed a powerful punch at my face, but I caught her fist effortlessly. Her eyes widened in shock as I squeezed her hand, forcing her to her knees. "Pathetic," I spat, throwing her aside like a ragdoll. She crashed into the wall, leaving a deep crater in the concrete.

Issei, fueled by desperation, activated his Boosted Gear.

"Boost!"

he shouted, his power surging.

I chuckled.

Me:Even with your boosted power, you're nothing to me.

He charged at me, his fist glowing with energy. I sidestepped his attack, grabbing his arm and twisting it behind his back. He cried out in pain as I effortlessly overpowered him.

Me:is this all the mighty Red Dragon Emperor can muster?

I mocked, throwing him to the ground.

Rias, seeing her friends in danger, unleashed a massive blast of demonic energy. The room shook with the force of her attack, debris flying everywhere. I simply raised a hand, absorbing the energy into my palm and sending it back at her. She was thrown across the room, slamming into the far wall.

Akeno, desperation in her eyes, summoned a bolt of lightning so powerful it illuminated the entire room. I caught the lightning bolt with my bare hand, the energy coursing through me harmlessly.

Akeno:Nice try

I said, snapping my fingers. Akeno was struck by her own lightning, her body convulsing as she fell to the ground, unconscious.

Kiba tried one last desperate attack, combining his two swords into one massive blade. He swung it at me with all his might, but I caught the blade with my bare hands, stopping it in its tracks.

Me:This is the end for you

I said, my eyes glowing with power

I shattered his sword with a flick of my wrist, the fragments scattering across the room. Kiba fell to his knees, defeated and broken.

Rias, battered and bruised, struggled to her feet.

Rias:This... can't be happening...

she whispered, tears streaming down her face.

Me:Oh, but it is

I said, stepping closer to her.

Me:And it's only going to get worse.

I grabbed her by the throat, lifting her off the ground. She gasped for air, her hands clawing at mine in a futile attempt to free herself.

Me:You and your friends will suffer for what you've done to me

I said, my voice cold and merciless.

I threw her across the room, her body crashing into the wall with a sickening thud. She lay there, broken and defeated, unable to move.

The room was silent, the only sound the ragged breathing of my defeated enemies. I looked around at the destruction I had caused, my grin widening.

Me:This is just the beginning

I said, my voice echoing in the ruined room.

Me:Your suffering has only just begun.

As Rias lay there, trying to push herself up, I flicked my wrist, summoning dark chains that wrapped around her limbs and pinned her to the floor.

Rias:You thought you could save him, didn't you?

I said, my voice dripping with mockery.

Koneko, regaining consciousness, launched herself at me with a roar, her body glowing with an aura of pure rage. I caught her mid-air with a telekinetic grip, slamming her into the ground repeatedly until she lay still, her body broken.

You and Hinata are twins now

Issei struggled to his feet, his eyes wide with terror.

Issei:Why, Kousei? Why are you doing this?

"Why?" I echoed, my eyes narrowing.

Me:Because you took everything from me. Now, it's my turn to take everything from you.

I extended a hand towards Issei, and dark tendrils of energy wrapped around him, lifting him into the air. He screamed in agony as the tendrils tightened, crushing his bones and suffocating him.

Akeno, bloodied and battered, tried to summon another lightning strike, but I waved a hand, and her power fizzled out.

Me:You should have stayed down, Akeno

I said, striding towards her.

With a flick of my wrist, I sent her flying into the far wall, where she slumped to the ground, unconscious.

Kiba, using the last of his strength, charged at me with a battle cry, his broken sword in hand. I caught the blade effortlessly, twisting it out of his grip and snapping it in half. I punched him in the stomach, and he doubled over in pain.

Me:you were always so loyal, Kiba

I said, my voice mocking.

Me:Too bad your loyalty is misplaced.

I lifted him by the collar and threw him across the room, where he crashed into the ground and lay still.

Rias, still pinned by the chains, looked up at me with defiance in her eyes.

Rias:You won't get away with this

she spat

I crouched down beside her, my grin widening.

Me:I already have

I whispered, my voice cold and triumphant.

I stood up, looking around at the carnage I had wrought. The once proud members of the Occult Research Club lay broken and defeated, their bodies battered and bruised. I felt a dark satisfaction welling up inside me, a sense of justice finally served.

Me:This is just the beginning

I said, my voice echoing through the room.

Me:Your suffering has only just begun.

Timeskip brought to you by



In the ORC room, they were completely broken and shattered, especially Issei who looked like he hadn't slept in days, his eyes hollow and red from endless tears. He kept on muttering,

Issei:My fault... it's all my fault...

Rias held her hair in frustration, tears streaming down her face.

Rias:Why? Why is all this happening?

Akeno and the others looked downcast, their usual confident demeanors replaced by despair and confusion. They didn't even know what to do anymore.

Rias sighed, summoning a magic circle to communicate with her brother.

Rias:please, Brother. We need your help.

Sirzechs' voice came through the circle, sounding strained.

Sirzechs:Rias, I'm sorry. I'm busy with a lot of things-

Rias:Brother, we know what's going on. We know the cause of all this. Please, call the other devil kings. They need to be here now

Rias' voice was hard, filled with desperation and resolve.

A few minutes later, Sirzechs, Grayfia, Ajuka, and Falbium appeared in the ORC room, their expressions grim as they took in the sight of the battered group.

Sirzechs' eyes widened with shock at the sight of his sister's condition. Rias was covered in bruises, her left arm hanging limply at her side. Akeno had a deep gash across her forehead, blood seeping through the makeshift bandage. Kiba's arm was twisted at an unnatural angle, his face pale from blood loss. Koneko's body was riddled with bruises, her eyes swollen shut. And Issei... Issei looked like a broken doll, his spirit utterly crushed.

Sirzechs:Who did this to my sister? I swear I'll- Sirzechs began, his voice rising in fury.

Rias:sirzechs, please, just listen

Rias interrupted, her voice trembling.

Rias:Please, we need your help to understand what's going on.

Sirzechs took a deep breath, his anger simmering beneath the surface.

Sirzechs:Alright, Rias. Explain everything.

Rias nodded, taking a shaky breath before beginning her explanation.

Rias:It all started with Kousei. He was my pawn's younger brother, a normal human who attended Kuoh Academy. Issei and some other students made his life a living hell, bullying him relentlessly. They beat him to near death one day, and while trying to escape, he was killed by a fallen angel.

Sirzechs, Grayfia, Ajuka, and Falbium listened intently, their expressions growing more concerned with each passing moment.

Rias:After he died, Kousei's soul didn't go to Heaven or Hell. Instead, he was trapped in the void for over a thousand years, filled with hatred and anger. Somehow, he evolved into something beyond our understanding-a Transcendent Soul.

Ajuka's face paled at her words.

Ajuka:Did he say he was a Transcendent Soul?

he asked, his voice trembling.

Rias nodded.

Rias;Yes, he did. He said he transcended everything, even the gods.

Ajuka looked even paler, his eyes wide with fear.

Ajuka:this is worse than we thought.

Sirzechs' anger flared up again, but he stopped himself from yelling at Issei. He could see that the boy was already completely shattered, his spirit broken beyond repair.

"Rias," Sirzechs said, his voice calmer but still filled with urgency.

Sirzechs:We need to find a way to deal with Kousei. A Transcendent Soul is beyond anything we've faced before.

Rias nodded, wiping away her tears.

Rias:I know, Brother. But we need your help. We need all the devil kings to come together and find a solution. If we don't, Kousei will destroy everything.

Grayfia stepped forward, placing a comforting hand on Rias' shoulder.

Grayfia:We will do everything we can, Rias. You're not alone in this.

Ajuka, still looking pale, spoke up.

Ajuka:We need to gather more information about Transcendent Souls. If Kousei has truly become one, then we need to understand his powers and limitations.

Falbium nodded in agreement.

Falbium:This isn't something we can take lightly. We need to approach this with caution and precision.

Sirzechs looked at Issei, his eyes filled with a mixture of anger and pity.

Sirzechs:issei, you need to tell us everything you know about Kousei. Every detail, no matter how small, could be crucial.

Issei looked up, tears streaming down his face.

Issei:... I don't know much. He was just my brother, but I... I treated him so badly. I destroyed his life.

Rias placed a hand on Issei's shoulder, her expression softening.

Rias:issei, we need you to stay strong. We can fix this, but we need your help.

Issei nodded slowly, his eyes filled with determination.

Issei:I'll do whatever it takes. I owe Kousei that much.

Sirzechs turned to the rest of the group.

Sirzechs:we need to prepare for whatever comes next. Kousei won't stop until he's had his revenge, and we need to be ready.

Grayfia nodded, her eyes steely with resolve.

Grayfia:We'll gather our forces and come up with a plan. Kousei won't know what hit him.

As the devil kings began to discuss their strategy, Rias looked around at her friends, seeing the hope returning to their eyes. Despite the overwhelming odds, they were ready to fight. They had to be.

Rias took a deep breath, her resolve strengthening.

Rias:We will stop Kousei. We have to. For everyone's sake.

The room was filled with a newfound determination, the battered and broken group ready to face the challenge ahead. They knew the road would be long and difficult, but they were ready to fight for their future.

Ajuka, who was still present, then brought out a file on everything about a Transcendent Soul. Falbium was stunned.

Falbium:Wow, that fast?

Ajuka settled into a chair, his expression serious.

Ajuka:A Transcendent Soul is a being of immense power and knowledge, beyond anything we know. They can manipulate reality, time, space, and even the laws of nature. Their energy is limitless, making them virtually indestructible. They possess unparalleled wisdom, accessing the collective consciousness of the universe, which allows them to see past, present, and future with perfect clarity.

He paused to let the gravity of his words sink in.

Ajuka:However, their power comes with a detachment from human morals and ethics, making them unpredictable and potentially dangerous. Their power levels surpass gods and devils, existing on an incomprehensible plane.

Ajuka leaned forward.

Ajuka:While their existence is mostly theoretical, the hints and legends are enough to take seriously. They are an enigma, and though we may never fully understand them, their potential influence cannot be ignored.

Ajuka:And if Kousei is a Transcendent Soul

he continued,

Ajuka:you're lucky you can even be standing here.

Issei spoke up, his voice weak and filled with despair.

Issei:Not for long. He said it himself-everyone will pay one way or another.

Koneko was crying.

Koneko:From what you've said, Lord Ajuka, is beating him even reasonable? And also from what you said, he can't even be reasoned with.

Grayfia now said,

Grayfia:So is he... you mean on the same strength as the Dragon Gods?

Ajuka nodded gravely.

Ajuka:Potentially even beyond that. The Dragon Gods are bound by certain universal laws and limitations, but a Transcendent Soul is not. They exist outside of the normal rules, making them even more formidable.

Sirzechs clenched his fists, trying to contain his anger and frustration.

Sirzechs:But we can't just sit here and do nothing. There must be something we can do to counter him.

Ajuka sighed.

Ajuka:There might be a way, but it's risky and uncertain. We need to find a way to contain or neutralize his power. Traditional methods won't work. We might need to seek out ancient artifacts, powerful spells, or even alliances with other powerful beings.

Rias, still teary-eyed, asked,

Rias:But where do we even start? How do we find something that can counter a Transcendent Soul?

Ajuka looked thoughtful.

Ajuka:there are a few ancient texts and legends that might hold some clues. We'll need to gather as much information as we can and prepare for the worst. This won't be easy, and it will require all of our resources and cooperation.

Grayfia spoke softly, her voice filled with resolve.

Grayfia:We must do whatever it takes to protect our world and our people. Kousei's wrath won't stop unless we find a way to stop him.

Falbium added,

Falbium:And we need to address the root causes of this situation. The bullying, the negligence, the fallen angels in our territory... We must ensure that such a tragedy never happens again.

Sirzechs nodded, his expression grim.

Sirzechs:Agreed. We need to make things right for Kousei and prevent any more suffering. We owe it to him and to ourselves.

Issei, still broken and muttering to himself, was a stark reminder of the consequences of their actions.

Issei:My fault... my fault...

he kept repeating, his voice filled with guilt and regret.

Ajuka stood up, his determination evident.

Ajuka:We need to act fast. Time is not on our side. We must gather all our forces and resources and prepare for the battle of our lives.

As the gravity of the situation settled in, the group knew they had a long and difficult road ahead. But they were determined to do whatever it took to stop Kousei and prevent any more suffering. The fate of their world depended on it.
