Ein and the two sisters who clearly have an unpleasant past entered the room where the other servants were and they were quite curious on who the armored one was. As Arcueid made it pretty clear that she is a noble. And everybody knew that nobles had a stick up their asses so they wouldn't touch that subject.
"Ahem... You lot are the chosen ones. To make a faction that will rival heaven and hell!" Ein raised his arms and cackled. The servants of the red and black faction that were there thought that the master of the silver faction was insane.
"So introduce yourselves first. You can't fight well and be in coordination if you don't know your pals." Ein started and he introduced himself and his family. They then went quiet and he decided to pick someone and the cat lady was first so Phyllis will have another kemonomimi partner besides Tora.
"Uhhh. I am Atalanta, the chaste huntress. Nice to meet everyone?" She was unsure of what to say. (pic)
"Splendid cat ears, can I touch them?" Ein asked immediately and Atalanta blushed. She was confused on why he wanted to, but his serious expression threw her off and she nodded.
Ein started to mofu mofu her cat ears instantly and with his dextrous fingers and god hand. She was a melting mess that purred heavily.
"S-sis?" Achilles wasn't shocked that she would let Ein touch her ears because she probably couldn't refuse. But making her purr pleasantly? That was another ball game altogether.
"Ahhh, I haven't seen her be that pleased in ages." Chiron, the teacher of notable heroes in Greece chuckled and Atalanta broke out of her stupor.
"Nya nya nya! What are you doing nya!?" Atalanta then covered her mouth and blushed an atomic red. "Petting the cat of course, don't feel too bad. I've got tons of experience, that's why." Ein went up to Phyllis and started stroking her tail and ears.
Atalanta just squinted her eyes at him, but she knew she was at fault and could only look down on the ground with burning cheeks.
"I am Achilles, the invincible hero from Greece." Achilles introduced himself next as he thought it was the appropriate timing, with Atalanta going first.
"Ahhh, now I remember. You're not Paris, that was the guy that killed you." Hua had a eureka moment and Achilles gritted his teeth. Atalanta and Chiron are clearly amused.
"As for me, I am Chiron. The one who trained these two. The teacher of Greek heroes." Chiron smiled at everyone and Scàthach nodded at him in respect for raising many Greek heroes.
"Oooh me! Me next! I am one of the 12 paladins of Charlemagne, Astolfo." He gave a smile and everyone was quite scandalized on what he was wearing. A sailor uniform with pink highlights. Clearly, he was very comfortable with his masculinity.
"I am Siegfried, the dragon-blooded knight. Nice to meet everyone." Siegfried just waved at everyone and was quite excited at the thought of having an adventure.
"Frankenstein's monster, Frankenstein. Please call me Fran." A girl wearing a wedding dress and has a horn that acted like a lightning rod introduced herself. Losing her mad enhancement as team black's berserker. (pic)
"Hmmm, as for assassin of black. Jack the ripper, she's with her master for now and they're gonna live a long life without any problems. Next please." Ein smiled at them and thought that the master of Jack is heavily protected by Zeltrech, so nobody from the mage association will bother her. She already went through a lot after all, almost sacrificed to summon Jack the Loli because she was a prostitute. Almost turning into a catalyst.
"Yo, everyone. My name is Mordred, the rightful heir to the throne of Camelot." Mordred introduced herself like a Yankee and Artoria who was beside Morgan seized up when she noticed Mordred.
"Kekeke~ like what you see? Oh sister of mine?" Morgan whispered in her ears like the devil and Artoria elbowed her pretty strongly.
"Why hello everyone~ my name is William Shakespeare. The greatest playwright in the world! At your service." Shakespeare stood up and bowed to everyone.
"Hey, can you sign an autograph for me? My 1st wife appreciates your work, another two too." Ein took out a copy of Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet. As Eden and Aponia quite liked his works while Kallen actually met Shakespeare back then, though it was a she instead of a he.
"Oh my~ I would never disappoint a fan, especially if it's one of my new master's lovely wives." Shakespeare immediately signed the books with a quill he took out of nowhere which made Ein chuckle.
"Hah, such pleasantries aren't necessary master. But I am Semiramis, the wise queen of Assyria." Semiramis introduced herself haughtily. She then stared at Ein of course because he's a jade beauty that surpasses even Ara.
"Hmmm, queen Semiramis. I've got a question for you, do you think you can handle me? Einheri Aesir?" He smirked at her and snapped his fingers, making all of her nerves fire at once. Experiencing unimaginable pain and pleasure at the same time.
She then twitched on her seat as a wet spot started forming under her. But Morgan immediately created an illusion as Ein gestured her to do so.
"It seems I am the last then. I am Karna, the son of the sun. Hero of generosity." He succinctly introduced himself and waited patiently for what his new role would be.
"Yosh, let me introduce the two newcomers then. This one is Arcueid Brunestud, your new ruler class so to say." Ein gave her name out and left her to do the rest.
"Wait, why should we follow her? She doesn't look too strong and she's a noble lady." Achilles was a bit antagonistic because he had a run in with a noble. And the bastard killed him.
"Hoh~ you've got some problems I see. Well for one, I'm stronger than all of you. I am the white princess of the true ancestors. An ultimate one, as the archetype earth." Her eyes changed and she smirked at him. Achilles started shitting his pants when he felt her power. (gif)
"Any more objections?" Ein asked everyone and of course they were quiet. She is an ultimate one. And that title isn't just for show.
"Okay, the next one would be one of your commanders. Come on, take off the helmet please." Ein gave a glance to Mordred and Artoria reluctantly took it off.
Everyone was speechless. Not because she was a jade beauty or something. Or because like Arcueid, she was very strong. It was because she had dicks drawn on her face.
Morgan had a very straight face on and was trying really hard not to laugh, but her lips kept on twitching. While Mordred started laughing her ass off, not really recognizing her father.
"Silence. I am Artoria Pendragon, the king of knights. And as Ein-sama's knight, I will lead you all to victory. Whatever our mission would be." She tapped Excalibur and Caliburn on the ground. A pulse of magical energy washed over them and Mordred immediately froze just like her earlier.
"F-father!? B-but how... You're different..." Mordred didn't know what to do and felt quite complicated. As her father was her number one idol, but she was also a target of her hatred due to the machinations of Morgan in proper pan human history. And Artoria was a pretty shit dad too, as she had pretty low EQ and couldn't communicate properly with Mordred. Nor the other knights of the round table.
Not that she was taught well in the first place. Camelot was a disaster waiting to explode, it was a miracle that it lasted that long.
"Mordred..." Artoria and her supposed son just stared at each other. "What a nice family reunion, all that's left is Guinevere dearest." Morgan rolled her eyes.
"You! This is all your fault!" Mordred exploded and was about to throw hands, but of course somebody stopped her.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you, she can erase you with a flick of her hands. And we won't protect you, child. She's much more important than you too, Morgan is an invaluable asset in the grand scheme of things." Scàthach held her down by grabbing her shoulders and Mordred gritted her teeth.
"Besides, she isn't even your mother. Sorry, your real, real, mother. Morgan is not the Morgan Le Fay you know of." Scàthach explained and Mordred knew she was right.
"So they're a dysfunctional family? And if I remember correctly, this kid killed his dad right? Or in this case, her mom?" Hua was really confused and Ein laughed at her.
"Yeah, pretty confusing. I know, but don't get too cocky now. You and your mom had a complicated start too. And... Wait, I'm practically your dad too, shit." Ein just realized and Hua went wide eyed as well.
"Ahhh~ Now that I think about it. You did create Hua's body. And she came from Fu Hua's memories as a herrscher." Elysia added.
"Eh, she's more like just Fu Hua's child though. Ein just created a vessel for her nya." Phyllis raised a point and Kiana had a smirk on his face.
"Hua's not the only one though, Sirin is also his child." Kiana teased him, but of course he didn't really react.
"She's my step child. Though it is quite weird, I've got Bronya and her mom too. That's supposed to be the weirder one. I'm her step dad and husband." Ein shrugged and the servants thought he could rival the Greeks with his weird relationships.
"Ohhh, you three are also Kevin's descendants. So he's shagging his bestfriend's great great great granddaughters nya, nyahahaha!" Phyllis increased the absurdity of it all.
"Umm, master. You sure you ain't Greek?" Quetzalcoatl asked and everybody had the same question.
"I'm basically from the Norse because of my parents. Eh, so close enough. Everybody there either fucks, drinks, or fights." Ein shrugged and that was a close on that.
"Anyways, the last one would be our mascot. Jeanne d'Arc." Ein pointed at the saintess and she glared at him.
"Wait, what do you mean mascot!?" Jeanne fumed and Ein explained. "Well, you aren't a ruler. You can't stop any of them except Atalanta or probably Shakespeare and Semiramis without her fortress. You're naive and cute, so you'll be our mascot." Ein patted her head.
"Gunununu! I am not naive!" Jeanne huffed and Semiramis scoffed after recovering a bit, though she can't really stand up because her legs were jelly.
"You obeyed everything the higher ups told you. You saved France, but they burned you at the stake. Trusting higher powers is what you would call naive, saintess." Semiramis hit her with the hard truth and Jeanne looked down on the ground.
"Okay, enough of this. The place where we're going? Is a place where gods still roam the lands. Pretty neat, right?" Ein informed them and all of the servants had mixed reactions.
The battle junkies were excited, namely Achilles, Scàthach, and Siegfried. While the others frowned and thought it would be a slugfest. When their faction even gets a bit of clout. Then everyone will focus on them and gods will be on their asses for as long as they are alive.
"Ein-sama, not to be rude. But I don't think we can fight all of the factions by ourselves. We might be strong, but it has been shown in history. Time and time again that they could be swarmed by numbers." Quetzalcoatl raised and the others agreed, even Arcueid. As she was about to lose a portion of her power earlier. And that guy was just a priest.
"Well, there is a very thin line of peace right there at the moment. And everyone has been hit quite hard, besides. Gods there are weaker than gods in your world." Ein explained. And it was true, the gods there were squishy af. The power balance in DxD was extremes in the spectrum.
The top were absurdly strong, while the middle class to high class were pretty much garbage against gods. And nobody there that doesn't have a bloodline or op sacred gear is worth mentioning. Except certain ones like Vasco Strada and Sun Wukong.
"And the thing where the factions are weak right now? It's because of a three way war. Against heaven, hell, and the fallen angels. Also, god there has died. The abrahamic god." Ein dropped a bomb and Jeanne was stupefied.
"The... The lord perished?" Jeanne looked like everything was done and she couldn't live anymore. "Yeah, Yahweh died. He sealed the beast of revelations and died as a result. Though Lucifer and his other bitches died too. Beelzebub, Leviathan, Asmodeus. And because G died, angels can't be made anymore except with breeding with other races. Tons of devils died, the one who got away easily were the fallen angels. But they weren't a lot in the first place." Ein gave them the main background of the place.
"And I remember when we first got to that place. It's a huge ass world, where tons of different cultures exist. I would call it a multiverse because there are other universes that meshed into one huge ass planet the size of Jupiter." Ein sighed and started recalling things.

In the past, a few centuries ago. At a certain place called the elemental nations. Ein and co. were dropping off the kids to the ninja school so they can go all nin nin or something.
"Ahhh~ I can't wait for the kids to become ninjas. They'll be cute in those Shinobi garbs. It would be like Halloween every day." Elysia smiled and thought they would look cute as heck.
"Nyahaha, maybe give Vesta a pink ninja uniform? But I got a question though, why are the ninjas here wearing open toed sandals? Based on what I saw here, shinobis here rarely go on assassination missions. Won't boots help them in, I don't know. Not get stray shit get under their feet?" Phyllis was baffled.
"Yeah, they're pretty dumb. Sandals will be a fucking bad idea here. Especially when shit like fireballs are being thrown around everyday." Hua shrugged.
"Is it because of stealth? Well, at least they should cover their feet with socks right? I could imagine all the athlete's foot and foot infections from splinters and things like that." Fu Hua mused and everybody cringed.
"Then why don't you sell them some boots that doesn't make any noises then?" Ein recommended to Phyllis and the cat immediately looked towards Vill-v.
"Hah, fine. You and your businesses. But maybe I can make them something that uses chakra? I can feel mine starting to bud already. There's tons of it in the air." Vill-v clapped and concentrated a bit. She then gained markings on her face as she felt that it was kind of reinforcement with Honkai, but weaker.
"Ahhh, that's called sage mode here. Congratulations, Vill-v. You are now the 3rd sage in this world. First one is some old guy who's the ancestor of ninjas called Hagoromo and the second is Hashirama." Ein patted her head and Vill-v had a smug look on her face.
"Ahhh! No fair!" Hua immediately took in some natural energy and entered sage mode as well. The others followed because why not.
"Ein, what did you do with your genes earlier? I noticed that it was to spawn those unique eyes you did." Mobius licked her lips as it was a pretty interesting topic. And she would obviously research about new things that will make Orochimaru have a boner.
"Ahhh those are called dojutsus. Eye powers and some bullshit. The red one called sharingan can even alter space and time or revive yourself. These guys aren't ninjas at all, they're more apt to be called super powered cosplayers." Ein shrugged and Mobius asked for one.
So Ein changed their genetics too and they started changing their dojutsus from the sharingan, Byakugan, tenseigan, Rinnegan, Mangekyo, and Rinne-Sharingan.
"Quite interesting these are. Honestly, they're pretty useful as a crutch. Bloodline limits... How many can I cram inside a person I wonder? Fufufu~" Mobius started getting into her own world and one young Orochimaru felt a disturbance in the force. Like he has felt someone resonate with his soul.
"Hmmm, there are a lot of POW's here Mobius. And they're not particularly going back if they're normal. Don't experiment on them if they aren't bad though, or I'll spank you." Ein reminded her and thought that having Tobirama give her some information about things would make Mobius happy.
"Yosh, you guys do your own thing m'kay? I'll be roaming around some more." Ein stood up and they started talking about what the kids will learn. They'll be having their very first friends too.
__
At the Konoha ninja school, the kids that were still pretty short because they're still one year olds or lower arrived. Their clan crests having reflectors, and the other clan kids were pretty interested in them. Especially the Uchiha and Hyuga.
"Good morning everyone, we will be gaining some new students today. Please introduce yourselves to the class." The chuunin teacher gestured for them to go to the podium and introduce themselves.
"I am Anahaat Aesir, the firstborn of the Aesir clan." Anahaat introduced herself like royalty. As Rita and Ragna taught them extensively about etiquette. But they got a bit too overzealous.
"I am Musubi Aesir. Nice to meet you everyone." Musubi was pretty jolly so she wasn't quite uptight.
"Laplace Aesir." The little inventor just said her name. "Shenlong Aesir, I look forward to seeing you in mortal combat." The chuunin looked at Shenlong weirdly, thinking that she was pretty hardcore.
"Tora Aesir, if you need anything I can give it at the right price~" Tora made a money sign.
"Izumi Aesir, I am here to hone my blade." Haku and Akira also nodded and just made a succinct introduction.
"Humu, I am Alexis Aesir! I'll be the strongest!" Alexis introduced herself with unmatched confidence.
"Hi~ I am Vesta. As you can see, my sisters are quite unique. Don't let it get to you though~" Vesta gave a sweet smile that charmed everyone. Not knowing that they'll be on the path of being slaves already.
"Good day everyone, my name is Aurum. I like music and art." Aurum bowed elegantly and everyone thought she was a princess or something.
"I am Celeste, please do not make trouble for my sisters." She eyed them all with her dead fish eyes and the kids nodded instantly.
"We're the super twins ya know, Argento and Arcene. Don't listen to Alexis, she's a meat head." The twins took a jab at her and they started quarreling.
"Bellatrix, please do take care of us." She gave a kind smile and they thought she was a saintess.
"Ahem, now. Please do have a seat, we're in the middle of the semester so we'll have your evaluations later at the field." The chuunin instructed and they found a blonde that their parents told them they could be friends with and trust.
Everybody sat next to her and the first one there was Alexis. "Heya Blondie, you are Hashirama-ossan's granddaughter, right?" Alexis greeted her and the whole class was scandalized. Calling the 1st hokage an old man.
"Uhhh, yes?" Tsunade has never encountered someone that didn't try to kiss her ass as a Senju or try and pick a fight like the pompous Uchiha. So she just answered without thinking.
"Ohhh, then we're friends now. Dad told us that we should be friends with Hashirama-ossan's granddaughter." Alexis gave a smile and shook Tsunade's hand.
She then sobered up and remembered their name Aesir. "Your dad is Ein-nii?" She got pretty excited, as Ein gave her a budding power of her grandfather's mokuton, he got lots of treats, and he was cool.
"Un, you know dad?" Vesta arrived next and was interested at the blonde. "Yeah, Ein-nii is super cool. He even gave me some cool perks!" Tsunade started doing handsigns and a sapling appeared at their desk, though she hid it with her book because Tobirama told her to hide it.
"Hmm, that's pretty nice. What does it do besides that?" Anahaat got interested and thought it was some kind of atomic manipulation that can create plantlife from seemingly nothing or wood.
"Ahhh, gramps can create huge trees with it. You see the forests around Konoha? Gramps were the one who put them up with his Mokuton." Tsunade had a proud expression and Anahaat would surely ask Ein for that later.
"Oh, yeah. Dad gave us some of those kekkei genkai. Like this." Alexis closed her eyes and when she opened them up, a fully matured sharingan appeared.
Tsunade got shocked out of her mind and thought that was impossible. But the teacher caught them chatting and immediately called their attention.
After a boring hour of history classes on how Konoha was made. They went out to the fields for some PE.
"Okay class, let's get to shurikenjutsu and Kunai throwing. I'll give you 10 of each and throw it at those targets there." The teacher called them by fives and the mostly clan kids started their tests.
Orochimaru got a 10/10 at shurikenjutsu, but he missed one with the kunais because it was a bit heavier.
Jiraiya got completely average scores and despaired. "Nooo! How can I flop now!? Those beautiful girls from the Aesir clan will never notice me now." Jiraiya did an orz.
"Hey, is that kid crazy? Want me to beat him up or something?" Alexis asked her sisters and they nodded, even the pretty mild Aurum was pretty disgusted.
"I would've gutted him, but that would suffice." Anahaat nodded and it was their turn. "Good luck everyone!" Tsunade cheered them on.
"Okay! First one, whoever misses will have to carry our bags!" Alexis laughed and she started throwing the shurikens and Kunai all at once. They all learned while watching the teacher and of course, nobody missed.
"Wow... You guys are awesome! Can we train together? Did Ein-nii taught you how to do that?" Tsunade had stars in her eyes and thought they were so cool.
"It's our first time throwing these things. It's pretty easy, we just copied that guy." Akira pointed at their teacher and he was impressed too.
"Okay, now that's done. Let's go next for the obstacle course." The teacher thought they'll have a better challenge there and they went to a pretty elaborate structure of traps.
"Oh wow, this is pretty well done." Laplace was amused and it was quite convoluted in her eyes.
"Yeah, it even has one of those logs that will throw you down if you get hit. Just like American ninja warrior in tv." Argento and Arcene got excited, wanting to have a go.
"Yes, it's pretty interesting. I also have a pretty hard time with it." Tsunade mused as she didn't really train much and just gambled with her grandfather when she was a bit younger.
"Then let's get on with it. One with the worst time is a poopy head." Argento and Arcene started and they were killing it. They weren't too fast because they're holding back, but the kids now held the record for the fastest times for the obstacles course, all having sub one minute runs like true speed runners in a time attack.
"Hahaha, Ana-nee sucks ass at this." The Kaslana sisters laughed at Anahaat as she was the last one. Being a bit less athletic than her sisters with her tendency to just read all day.
"Grrr. You're going down at the exams though. And dad will be disappointed at your stupidity." Anahaat hissed, the Kaslana sisters reveled in their victory for now. But they hate studying, so Anahaat will get the last laugh later.
"Wow, I really need to shape up. You guys are freaking awesome, how did you do that?" Tsunade got a wake up call and thought that she should be as strong as her grandfather. Getting the mokuton and all too.
"It's just parkour, we've done more dangerous obstacles before. It was called the path of pain if I remember correctly. If you couldn't platform sufficiently, the buzz saws would hit you and you'll fall down on a bed of thorns that could pierce through steel." Bellatrix recalled and Tsunade shuddered, she then gave them a look as if she didn't believe them.
"You think we're lying? How about we show you the path of pain?" Laplace raised a brow as she and her mom were the one who made it. And Laplace was really proud of it.
"Uhhh, no thanks. I just couldn't believe it for a second. But your skills are a proof of that." Tsunade scratched her cheek sheepishly.
"But hey, can you guys train me?" Tsunade had stars in her eyes. Shenlong, Izumi, Haku, and Akira nodded immediately and they will show her the path of a warrior.
"Hello, I heard you guys will be training. I am Orochimaru, can I come with?" A pale kid with unique eyes came to them and asked with a bit of shyness.
"What's your name, kid? Of course you can join us. You already show promise if you decide to come with." Alexis slapped him on the back and laughed.
Orochimaru propped up and thought they were pretty nice. They then created a group and went back to the clan home of the Aesirs. Where Fu Hua, Sushang, and Hua would give them some training.
__
Ein, doing Ein things was currently travelling through the massive planet. And he made a discovery that was pretty interesting in his books.
"A void dimension in this world?" Ein entered the void like place and it had glittering lights that looked like auroras.
"Hmmm, this place looks familiar. I don't know where it was, but it's called dimensional something." Ein rubbed his chin and scoured his memory palace, he had too much data inside and needed some time.
He then felt that tons of other realms were connected to it. Realms of beings where gods reside. Pantheons and all that jazz.
"Dimensional gap! Ohhhh, this is the realm of DxD. Wait a minute, then what time line are we in?" Ein peered through the various realms and he got the conclusion that the war between heaven, hell, and grigori already happened.
"Damn, I was going to turn Albion and Ddraig into my pets. But I guess I'm too late." Ein clicked his tongue, And he didn't really want to change things now.
Anyways, in his peepings. He saw a certain woman that was beside a lake. Looking really melancholic. And she was familiar, he just couldn't put a finger on who the girl was.
"Hey, whatcha doing here?" Ein sat down beside her and she was understandably spooked. Especially because of the things her race was experiencing right now.
Serafall started casting her magic immediately and was about to try and freeze his ass. But of course he just sealed her magic. "What!?" The girl was shocked and she felt like she was just a normal human.
"Relax~ I'm totally not a suspicious guy." He took out a table and prepared some tea. He then gestured for her to sit down. She gritted her teeth and thought he was part of the old Satan faction.
"So? I'm a prisoner of yours now. Hah, come on and go shoot your questions." The woman sighed, hardening her expression. Prepared for torture and the like, but she will never yield for her comrades.
"What the hell you talking about girl? I'm just here for a chat, I saw you brooding over here and I consider myself a busybody." Ein shrugged and just continued drinking his tea.
"Wait, you're not a part of the old Satan faction?" She raised a brow and was still suspicious of him. But she didn't feel any malicious intent and she knew that he could just kidnap her right now. Besides, if he was a part of their faction. Tons of more important people would be gone in theirs by now.
"Yup, I'm just a regular guy. Going on a very regular enthusiastic walk." Ein chuckled and gave her some treats.
"W-who are you then?" She was unsure still and decided to ask. Nobody in the underworld matched his description. He kind of had the hair of the Lucifuge clan, but someone as strong as him that could just snap his fingers and incapacitate her, no way he was a part of them.
"I'm Einheri, call me Ein. How about you, what's your name?" He smiled pleasantly and she decided to trust him for now. Her instincts hadn't failed her before and she was still alive now. That's why she is one of the generals of their faction.
"I'm Serafall. Serafall Sitri, what do you mean you were watching me? That's mighty suspicious." She raised a brow and Ein snorted. (pic)
"I was in the dimensional gap. And I just happened to see that you were looking pretty forlorn I guess." Ein shrugged and Serafall was quite surprised.
"You live in the dimensional gap... Explains your power. You must be strong beyond recognition." Serafall concluded and he just shrugged. Not correcting her, his colleagues were inside a void so technically correct.
"So, pour it on me. What's a pretty girl like you having trouble for?" He winked at her and she rolled her eyes. She then got downtrodden once again.
"I... We're in a civil war. Against our own kind, countrymen, people. And both sides are experiencing a lot of casualties... I was just thinking. Is it really fine to continue on with life, when I command my troops and lead them to their death?" She frowned heavily and Ein sighed.
She was experiencing survivor's guilt. And when he checked her age, she wasn't that old in devil's case. So she must be having tons of difficulty right now.
"Hah, that's some heavy shit." Ein took out a bottle of wine and opened it. Giving her a glass so she could relax a bit. "You know, you're in luck. We might not have the same circumstances. But I've lead a war." Ein gave a wry smile and thought of the past.
"Really? Sorry that you had to go through one too." She sweetly consoled him and he smiled at her thoughtfulness.
"Yeah, and it's the worst kind. The one where it will never stop until one side is completely eradicated." Ein took a sip of his wine and sighed. Remembering the experiments they had to do and the soldiers that sacrificed themselves for a better tomorrow.
Serafall gasped, she couldn't imagine something like that. "It must have been... Terrible."
"Aye, you lost land inch by inch. Children screamed bloody murder from the pain of suffering. Entire cities would disappear in a couple of hours whenever attacks happen. Child soldiers as young as fourteen fight. It wasn't nice alright." Ein sighed, but it was good now. And they were retired, happy, content.
"H-how did you pull through all those things?" Serafall went silent for a moment before asking. Putting herself in his shoes, she would've lost her mind if she lead a war like that.
"By sheer fucking will. You have two choices, you either give up. Or you give everything you have for your goals. What's it going to be? And it's easy to pick the former. But the consequence of it is total annihilation." Ein shrugged and Serafall furrowed her brows.
"I... We're fighting for a better society. A better place in which the children don't have to revel in hate and war against our enemies. But the opposite faction don't want that." Serafall gritted her teeth and Ein stood up, patting her head.
"You know what, that's admirable. How about I give you a little something to help you in your endeavors?" Ein gave Serafall an ability. The sea serpent of the end.
The bloodline trait of the Leviathans of DxD. In which they can use massive amounts of water and shape it into any way they can.
"Wh-what did you do to me?" Serafall felt information enter her head and a surge of power inside of her. Like the waters were so easy to control.
"It's a secret~" Ein pinched her cheeks and Serafall pouted at him. Serafall then got a comm through a magic circle.
"Serafall! We got ambushed! We need all the help we can get! The operation is a bust! I'm holding off three descendants of the Satans as the rearguard! Mother is spearheading the escape, but teleportation is locked and we're surrounded! I can't contact Ajuka, he's too far away!" They both heard a male voice and Serafall started panicking.
"Did the Lucifuge betray us!? Sirzechs, where are you right now!?" Serafall though was still a competent general and asked the important question.
"You have to travel by flight! I'm nearby Lucifaad!" Sirzechs replied immediately and cut the call immediately.
"Shit! Everything is going wrong and they're only an elite group. They'll get overwhelmed quickly even if Venelana-san is there." Serafall immediately started flying. As even though Sirzechs' mother is called the ruin princess, she would still get overwhelmed by numbers.
"We thought that Sirzechs was enough, but it doesn't seem to be the case... This is an oversight that could cost us a lot." Serafall gritted her teeth and consumed her magic to go as fast as she could.
"Why hello there." Ein appeared right beside her and was soaring through the air like no one's business. Wind not even touching his hair as he just lied on the air like he was on a bed.
"Ein? Forgive me, I have no time! I need to save my comrades!" Serafall looked in front of her and was completely focused.
"Silly girl, how about I give you a hand?" Ein ripped space in front of them and Serafall entered without any hesitation. She then arrived and she saw her friend Sirzechs Gremory, fighting off three people.
Demonic power being thrown about everywhere, it was a stalemate and Sirzechs couldn't escape to back the retreating group up.
"Sirzechs! I'm here!" Serafall had an outburst and she created multiple serpents of water. Surprising everyone there as that was the coveted power of the Leviathans.
The serpents crashed onto the three devils and they turned into ice. That exploded everywhere, acting as oversized frag grenades that made them back off.
"S-Sera... That's. You're a Leviathan?" Sirzechs had a complicated expression on his face as he protected himself with his power of destruction.
"A regular guy who was taking an enthusiastic walk gave it to me." Serafall gave a wry smile and they quickly turned the tide of battle.
__
"Yare yare, I'm such a protagonist. Everywhere I go, trouble happens." Ein looked at a little group that was using guerilla tactics. But they were looking quite tired.
A silver haired maid and a brunette doing most of the lifting as they protected the group. (pics)
"How are you doing with mana Grayfia? Damn these lunatics, they're relentless." Venelana created bullets of her power of destruction and controlled them really well. Sending them to the unsuspecting enemies, killing anyone who couldn't dodge.
"Not good, Venelana-sama. Forgive me, this is all my fault." Grayfia frowned heavily. She was supposed to give them information as a double agent. But she got found out and they were now in deep crap.
"Shush! Less prattling, and more defending! I can't contact Ajuka, Serafall, nor Falbium. We must survive until Sirzechs gets here!" Venelana slapped her on the back and the silver haired maid smiled, creating giant blocks of ice to ward off enemy magic.
But an ultimate class devil hit them with a particularly strong pillar of flames. Breaking their guard as they have pretty low amounts of mana from defending for quite some time.
They got scattered and their ears were ringing from the impact. "Ahhh, damn... I guess this is it. My mana is dry. Sirzechs, take care of Zeoticus. He was a good husband and friend." Venelana gave a wry smile. Hoping that her son would lead the war to victory with his friends.
Grayfia then gritted her teeth, thinking of how to get out of the sticky situation she got in them in.
But something suddenly crashed on the ground. Making the devils from the Satan faction back away. Dust covering the form, but they saw a silhouette of a tall man with long hair.
A gust of wind then suddenly blew the dust, it got on Venelana and Grayfia's face and they started coughing.
"Oh shit, sorry about that ladies. I haven't done the superhero landing for a long time you see?" Ein chuckled and gave them a smile.
"Who are you?" Venelana voiced out weakly and Ein rubbed his chin. "I'm your knight in shining armor? Anyways, I'm a good friend of Serafall's. And I certainly can't let beautiful ladies die in my good conscience." Ein shrugged and looked at the old Satan faction.
"So have at thee you foul devils! Oh, you're devils too. Sorry, I forgot." Ein pointed finger guns at them. "I've got a gun and I'm not afraid to use it!" Ein threatened them and the devils laughed at him.
"What are you gonna do? Shoot me?" The apparent leader snorted and entertained his apparent foolishness.
"I've warned you, don't complain that I didn't told you so. Bang!" Ein shouted and his head exploded into a fine mist.
Everybody was shocked because they didn't know what happened. "Pew pew pew." Ein started firing at the others and the devils got diminished at an alarming rate.
"Reloading!" He reloaded his imaginary ammo and started aggressively breakdancing. And the encirclement all died terrible deaths with their heads blown off.
Ein then blew on his finger tips and smiled at the group. "Hello there, I am Einheri. Call me Ein, ladies and gentlemen. But don't get too complacent now, or my handsome and devilish looks will certainly capture your hearts." He winked at them and they were still speechless.
