Kisuke and Sakura entered the meeting room and the latter was about to greet the people inside it when she suddenly stopped as there's someone who isn't supposed to be here, "Beelzebub-sama?"
Within the room, along with Cleria and Diehauser was the Chief Advisor for the Technology Department, the creator of the Evil Pieces system and the Rating Game, and the sole remaining Satan within the underworld after the events of the Evil Dragon War, Ajuka Beelzebub.
Even Kisuke was intrigued by his attendance, but for a different reason, 'I couldn't properly feel his presence. I thought that the third person was just some random servant.' Kisuke observed him for a few moments and concluded, 'So he managed to develop a technique to mask both his Magic and Soul Pressure within this short amount of time. His own soul seems to have strengthened considerably too and there are some traces of training from it. As expected of a genius.'
On the other hand, Ajuka was also doing the same, 'I still can't see through him? This is really a wonder. I thought I had learned enough to at least shed some light on his mystery.'
Thanks to the information he got from Azazel and Dylan Sitri regarding souls, Ajuka was able to develop some soul techniques and was able to incorporate them with his Kankara Formula, making his abilities advance by leaps and bounds. But despite that, he was startled that he still couldn't find anything concrete about Kisuke, even though the latter was able to figure out the technique he's using with a simple glance, 'Is it experience, intellect, or something else? He seems so used in gathering data that I couldn't even be compared. As expected of a genius.'
While the two geniuses were having a staring contest, the other three were feeling the mounting pressure between them, "Ehem... Shouldn't we start?" Diehauser interrupted them with a fake cough.
Ajuka broke his line of sight first, "Excuse me. Pardon me for my unannounced visit. I heard that Kisuke Urahara has arrived and I really wanted to secure a discussion with him."
At his words, Diehauser, Cleria, and Sakura couldn't help but frown because there's only one way that he could have known Kisuke's arrival, "So you won't deny that you've tapped our communication lines, Ajuka-sama?"
But Ajuka just took her glare with a stride and answered, "I won't. It's my technology so naturally, I have a backdoor that I could use."
The three Devil's complexion became uglier, "Ajuka-sama... Even if you're the Devil King and the Chief Advisor of the Technology Department, you can't be doing this."
Ajuka nodded, "I know and I also apologize for that. I really need to talk to Kisuke-kun as soon as possible. In exchange for this, I'll owe the Belial House a favor and this isn't me paying it back but I'm also manually securing your communication lines in secret because there have been a large number of attempts to crack it from numerous unknown sources."
Diehauser, Cleria, and Sakura were startled. Ever since setting up their information network, they've been prepared for breaches but strangely enough, there were almost none. It turned out it was Ajuka who was helping them from behind. However, this, and no matter how great his favor is, doesn't mean it absolved him of his intrusive actions.
Though before the situation and atmosphere could devolve, Kisuke interrupted them, "It seems that he needs me for something urgent so let's set this aside, for now, aunt."
Cleria stared at Kisuke for a while when she suddenly received a telepathic message from him which made her eyes open slightly more, [I have the resources to create a new network that you can use. It's already a good thing that we knew that he had been snooping around.]
Naturally, Ajuka noticed this blatant secret conversation in front of him but he didn't really have the right to interfere or point that out.
Cleria sighed, "Alright. Let's move on. Are you fine with the current arrangement?", she asked Kisuke, referring to Ajuka's presence.
Since he's just going to be updated on the current situation, Kisuke nodded his head.
Cleria then faced Ajuka and said, "Ajuka-sama, Kisuke has been away for a while and needs to be briefed on the current situation. What you need to say to him needs to wait."
"That's acceptable. Please go on."
As everyone sat down comfortably and had some drinks served, Cleria started by reintroducing herself to Kisuke as the new head of the Belial House because she's the one with the most qualification as both Diehauser and Sakura has a questionable history with the former joining the Khaos Brigade even after providing information to the authority while the latter has a not so pretty record of forbidden research.
Cleria's inauguration became even smoother when the knowledge about the King Pieces of the Evil Pieces became public, which was the reason for the attempted assassination of her in Kuoh Town all those years ago.
Kisuke wasn't surprised at this outcome because he was already expecting this. He just didn't know it would happen so fast, 'Looks like the locked up leaders of Mythologies reshuffled the power structure. No wonder why I can't touch Olympus for now, as Zeus was probably one of those fighting the Trihexa.'
They started with the information that Kisuke didn't have since they hadn't told him about the entirety of the Evil Dragon War where Trihexa, along with the revived and mass-produced Evil Dragons and cloned Boosted Gears, wreaked havoc throughout the entire world.
The first one they attacked was the Heavens, with the First Heaven being utterly destroyed while the Second until Sixth had varying degrees of damage from colossal to minimum. However, the biggest damage they received was the death of thousands of Angels and fatally injuring some of the Seraphs with Raphael losing one of his legs and Uriel losing an eye and an arm.
Although they managed to fend off the attackers with the help of various Mythologies, Trihexa attacked Asgard next. If not for the reinforcement of other factions and a great amount of sacrificed lives, Asgard wouldn't have been able to avoid its destruction until Trihexa was forcefully teleported away from it.
The battle continued with Trihexa separating itself into seven parts and an Evil Dragon accompanying each one of them.
The war was only concluded when Azazel was able to stop the Holy Grail from producing more clones of Evil Dragons and Boosted Gears and the leaders were able to place Trihexa in the Isolation Field Barrier.
"But even with a strong seal, it was estimated that Trihexa would still be able to free itself so leaders and subordinates of many factions joined it to stop it from escaping and hopefully, slowly kill it. This is the list of everyone who joined." Diehauser passed a piece of paper to Kisuke with a heavy complexion.
Kisuke took a look at it and saw many familiar names.
From Underworld, Sirzechs and his peerage except for Grayfia, everyone from Serafall's peerage, and Falbium and his peerage except for his Queen.
From Heaven's side, All the Four Great Seraphs, except for Gabriel, and their Brave Saints except for their Aces.
From the Grigori, it was only Azazel, but he's the acting leader of the group because he has the most knowledge about Trihexa.
From Norse Faction, Odin, and 6 other Gods.
From Greek Faction, Zeus and 10 other Gods.
And Finally, from Hindu Faction, Brahma, Vishnu, and 7 other Gods.
Kisuke thought that the world had lost a large chunk of its powerhouses, but he didn't think that it would be to this extent.
