As Soren was walking down the main road again he saw a familiar face with flowing White hair with a demonic and dragon-like aura. Soren could tell immediately that the person was Vali and began to make his way over to him just in time to see another familiar figure appear and this one gave off the same demonic and dragon-like aura, but this one was stronger as he had a dragon living inside of him, along with the Dragon Gods blessing, and the person Soren saw was Issei.
[Vali, Issei… I sent you here to gather information, not so you could enjoy the sights of this place]: soren
Soren came up to the two with a smile on his face while speaking that line in a joking manner, and when both Vali and Issei saw Soren they had smiles on their faces and rushed over to him.
[Soren!...What are you doing here?]: vali and issei
[I came here to see if anything interesting was going on because I still haven't found the one who I'm supposed to be fighting… And it's not like I can try and sense them out because I've never met them before and there are many Gods who match my strength and far surpass it, so sensing out a strong presence won't lead me to the one I need to fight]: soren
Both Vali and Issei nodded their heads in agreeance while Soren continued walking down the street while gesturing for the two to follow him.
[So, what did you find out so far?]: soren
[I found an amazing place where I can watch beautiful women dance completely naked in front of you, and if you pay them enough you can fuck them in the back rooms]: issei
Issei spoke in a very lewd tone while having lustful gleams sparkle in his eyes and when Soren saw this look he just sighed and began to speak.
[Hais… So you found a whore house that advertises themselves with stripping… I would expect nothing more from you]: soren
Issei felt proud of Soren's words but seeing Soren shake his head in disappointment made him lose all the previous glory he felt.
[Hey!... That was hard work to find one of those places!... I'm also still a teenager with a very lustful lebido]: issei
Soren just looked at Issei with a look saying that he didn't care what his body was telling him, and then he had a light go off in his head as he spoke.
[Didn't you already die before being reincarnated as who you are now?... And with my extensive knowledge you should have at least been 15 before death, but you were most likely a grown man before so don't tell me you're just a teenager]: soren
Issei looked down in shame due to the fact that Soren was right, in his previous life he died at the age of 22 coming home from a job interview, and on his way home he saw a truck zooming towards him and in his head he thought that maybe the Mystical Truck-kun would take him to another world, but he watched as the truck swerved out of the way and crashed into a light pole killing 3 other people while leaving Issei unharmed. Issei was then shocked at the bloodied mess made by the trucks collision with the 3 people and was in a stunned state, Issei didn't hear the people yelling for him to move out of the way and was then squashed by the light pole that had fallen over and smashed his head in killing him semi instantly as he suffered for a good 10 seconds while throwing up a mixture of blood and vomit while the world was spinning around him and his vision was all hazy while he himself was spasming.
'That is something I never want to experience again… Thank God when I was pulled into the afterlife I met with the Dragon God who explained I was going to be Isekai'ed to another world, but before I could be hit he sneezed and the truck swerved into the pole, so to make it up he brought me to DxD… I wonder if those 3 that got killed were Isekai'ed instead?': issei
[Anyway, I plan to leave the city in a few days, and it appears that there is nothing of interest other than that castle in the center of town, so you guys need to break into the castle and find out the reason for all the Evil and Negative energies to be pulled there]: soren
[Okay!... I hope I get to fight someone strong there]: vali
At this time Issei was snapped from his flashback and nodded his head towards Soren's words then both he and Vali went off towards the castle in the center of Biptin City.
'I sure hope those idiots don't get themselves killed… You got a pervert, and a battle junky who has no idea when to quit… These are bad odds in my book': soren
Soren just shook his head and hoped for the best while continuing his self tour around Biptin City and after a few hours Soren heard a gigantic boom as well as some rumbling coming from the castle in the center of the city.
'What the fuck was that?': soren
Soren turned to look at the castle and noticed a gigantic cloud of Black smoke rising from the building, and upon closer inspection Soren noticed Issei being held by the throat while Vali was lying on the ground in a half dead state. Soren then noticed that the people of the city just looked on in amusement as the person holding Issei by his throat was still absorbing a massive amount of Evil and Negative energy.
'So that is the cause behind the absorption of energy… I guess I can't let Vali die as Shannon would never forgive me, but Issei is a different story… Fuck it, I'll save both of them': soren
Soren then started rushing towards the castle and upon reaching the outer gate he noticed there was a barrier erected to keep someone from escaping once caught. Soren raised his hand and put a lot of power behind his fist and shattered the barrier while alerting the man holding Issei by the throat, and with this bit of a distraction Soren was able to save Issei and place him next to Vali to help him escape while he guarded them.
[Take Vali out of here and escape the city!... I'll catch up with you after I deal with this guy]: soren
Issei nodded his head while his back was drenched in sweat as he had never seen Soren act this way, and while remembering his words about there being many people in this world that match his strength or far surpass it, he began wondering what category this man before them belonged to. Soren then watched as Issei picked up Vali and began to escape while heavily injured so he sent a bit of energy over to him to heal him a bit while the man who once held Issei in his hands just watched with an amused face and when Issei and Vali escaped the man faced Soren and began to speak with a bit of laughter.
[Hahaha… Who are you to take away my pray?]: man
[Who am I?... Who are you?... What do you need all these Evil and Negative energies for?]: soren
[Hahahaha!... I am the City Lord of Biptin City, my name is Lucius Black!... Now, before I kill you, who are you?]: lucius
[My name is Soren, but I need to disappoint you here as I won't be the one dying today… You will]: soren
Soren then charged Lucius with his bare fists fueled by Omni Energy and upon contact it sent Lucius flying off crashing into his throne that sat in the center of the room making a cloud of dust and dirt rise while covering the view of the fallen Lucius. Once the cloud disappeared Soren could see Lucius the City Lord in a reclined position sitting in a broken and crumbled throne while laughing his ass off.
[Hahahahahaha!... Haha, that was a good shot boy!... How old are you? 20 Million? 22 Million?]: lucius
[Hehe, I forgot how old I was when I aged past 1,000… But I do know for sure I'm not 1 Million years old just yet]: soren
When Lucius heard Soren's words he felt a bit surprised.
[Hahahaha!... Not even past the age of 1 Million and are already a Semi- Omnipotent Realm… Boy!... No, Soren! Be my servant and I will forgive you while letting your friends go]: lucius
[... I'm sorry, but when I said you would be the one dying today I was serious]: soren
When Lucius heard Soren outright refuse his kind offer to be a servant as well as the direct threat towards his life Lucius felt a bit of anger rush over him, but he also felt that Soren was someone that he truly couldn't lose as he had such balls to try and go toe to toe with him.
[Hahaha!... That's a great joke kid, but you are just a Semi- Omnipotent Realm, while I have entered the High- Omnipotent Realm… I am leagues above you in strength]: lucius
Soren didn't speak as he just prepared himself for while he assumed would be one of the longest fights of his life as one wouldn't die physically, but spiritually, but to be able to destroy someone's soul you needed to weaken the body, or be so far above them that you can over power their soul.
[If you still refuse to join me then I have no other choice but to kill you… Goodbye kid! Die!]: lucius
Lucius disappeared from the rubble he was sitting in and reappeared next to Soren and punched out while covering his fist in some Negative energy and when Soren saw this he tried to dodge, but the punch landed on Soren's arm completely erasing it from existence.
[AHHHGGRRRAAHHH!]: soren
The Negative energy started flowing through Soren's whole body while wreaking havoc throughout his entire body with a pain so harsh that nothing he had ever felt before could compare. Soren then tried to expel the Negative energy from his body, but nothing was working and when Soren tried to regrow his arm it refused to grow.
'What the fuck is happening!?... I can't rid myself of the pain, and my arm isn't regenerating no matter what I try': soren
While Soren was thinking about his current situation as well as trying to come up with a way to rid himself of the Negative energy Lucius spoke.
[Hahaha!... Stop your futile attempts to rid yourself of my Negative energy… the only way it will go away is if I die, but you don't have the ability for that]: lucius
When Soren heard that he began to have a smile grow on his face, and when Lucius saw this he thought Soren might have gone crazy due to some kind of mental snap, but he had no idea that Soren was laughing due to the overused troup of the Villain giving away the secret to his power and how to counter or defeat it because they think the Main Character will never win or be able to counter their power.
[Haha… Hahahahaha!... Hehehe]: soren
[What's wrong… You already go crazy or something?... Hahaha! You should have joined me when I offered]: lucius
[Haha… No… I'm not crazy, nor have I been broken… I'm laughing because I have seen this way too many times… Villains such as yourself always give away the secrets to your powers and me as the main hero kicks your ass into next week using the weaknesses you just told me about]: soren
When Lucius heard Soren he felt he was right as he had also read some of those stories from Earth when he was bored in the God Realm while always rooting for the Villains that never win, but he never saw how he could lose this fight and ultimately fucked himself.
[Hahaha!... No worries, I will just end this fight now]: lucius
Just as Lucius said this he launched towards Soren while finally drawing his weapon that he kept at his side this whole time, and when Soren saw this he pushed through the pain and activated his Rinne Sharingan and used his future sight to evade the attack and counter by sending a full power blow using a mix of every single law he had comprehended into his fist and punched out making a hole in Lucius' chest while also sending him flying back as both of them screamed out in pain and spit up a few mouths full of blood.
[GURRAAHHHHHGGG!]: lucius
[HURRGG!]: soren
Soren did his best to hold in the pain from the Negative energy destroying his body from the inside and rushed over to Lucius as to not give him the time to recover and took out his Immortal Dragon Sword and imbued it with his laws once more while putting more emphasis on the Chaos, Death, and Destruction laws while swinging out a bunch of sword attacks that damaged Lucius with each swing.
'Just a few more!... I just need to hold on for a few more minutes': soren
Soren continued to strike out at Lucius while his energy was rapidly depleting with no sign of regenerating due to the Negative energy now cursing through his blood heading towards his brain. Soren then activated his Hollow powers and a White Hollow mask with Teal facial markings appeared and increased the power of any soul attacks, and with this upgrade Soren was able to use his Soul Crush ability along with his Haki to make it stronger.
[Haki! Soul Crush!... Destroy him!]: soren
[I-Impossible!... No! NOOOOO!!!... I'll be back for you!]: lucius
Soren used his full power to destroy Lucius and after all of his power depleted Soren passed out on the ground as all his energy disappeared.
