~~ FLASHBACK Few Minutes before (this is after Tetsuya protect Shuri and Akeno from the explosion) ~~

After both Shuri and Akeno nodded at Tetsuya, Tetsuya then dashes forward to the group of mask men.

Akeno who sees Tetsuya off is nervous when she saw Tetsuya dash toward many people. She then grips Shuri's hand while trembling.

Shuri who notices this can only sigh with a helpless smile on her face and started to pat Akeno head.

"Don't worry Tetsuya will be alright, You said it yourself right?" Said Shuri while looking at Akeno with a smile and closed eyes on her face.

Akeno only nods to respond to Shuri's words, but she still nervous when she sees Tetsuya go toward the group of mask men after getting hit by the explosion.

Shuri is also worried but she can only hope that Tetsuya doesn't get hurt.

Tetsuya then summons Neuntote in front of both of them. Both Akeno and Shuri who saw the unknown weapon appear on Tetsuya hand are not too shocked since they already saw Tetsuya pull a sword in the air, but Shuri is still intrigued by what type of spear that Tetsuya use.

But when both of them saw Tetsuya prowess in killing all of the mask men without breaking a sweat, Akeno then calms down with a relaxed expression on her face, but Shuri who saw is shocked that Tetsuya is good at using a spear, she thought that Tetsuya only good at wielding sword since Anna been teaching Tetsuya in 'Muramasa Sword Art Technique', but she also wonders who taught him on how to use a spear. Suddenly a person comes to her mind, as she concludes that the only one person that can fit the description of why Tetsuya can use spear is Vermillion Ogre, Tohno Yukio. Shuri has seen Yukio fighting as Vermillion Ogre with a red spear in his hand only for a brief in the past.

But of course, She didn't know the real identity of Vermillion Ogre is Yukio until She was told by Anna 6 chapters ago.

But what Shuri didn't know is that Tetsuya 'Spear mastery' is self-taught and his father didn't even teach him any spear technique.

Both Akeno and Shuri also watch the last moment of Suou who is now trying to get away from Tetsuya.

Shuri who is watching Suou before his death has a complicated expression. She didn't want one of her family to die, but she also doesn't want her daughter and her to be threatened by the existence of her uncle. She closes her eyes as soon as Tetsuya throws the spear from his hand toward Suou's head.

Both Shuri and Akeno feel relieved that Tetsuya who fights in front of them, didn't get hurt except for the explosion part.

When Tetsuya went toward both of them, suddenly Shuri can sense a group of fallen angels around the sky.

When Shuri saw there is Kokabiel in front of the group and there is no sign of Baraqiel in the group she gets a bad feeling, and her bad feeling proved correct as Kokabiel laughing in front of them.

"Hahahaha Amusing... I never thought that Himejima human would have died like this, well I still would have killed his group even if he still successful in killing both daughter and mother. I didn't expect that he got killed by someone else" Said Kokabiel with a smirk while looking at both Shuri and Akeno, but soon change his gaze toward Tetsuya with an intrigued expression.

~~ END OF FLASHBACK ~~

"Hoo... Looks like you are the one who defeated that Himejima human, from what I can see your body looks like a kid? It's such a disappointment that such a talent like you aren't born as a fallen angel. Well, your armor also looks unique so I will be taking it after I killed you." Said Kokabiel with a disappointed expression but slowly turned into a creepy smile on his face while looking at Tetsuya who still in his incursio form.

"What is the meaning of this Kokabiel!? Where is Baraqiel?" Shouted Shuri while looking at Kokabiel with a mad expression.

"Ahahaha... What do you mean Shuri Himejima, this is what it looks like, I'm going to eradicate you all, well that kid makes it way easier to complete my plan." Said Kokabiel with a wide evil smile on his face while laughing and pointing his finger at Tetsuya.

"What do you mean?" Ask Tetsuya while looking at Kokabiel with a serious expression on his face.

"You see... I'm going to start a war, and my first step to start that is by eradicating all the Five Principal Clans!!" Shout Kokabiel while looking at Tetsuya with a creepy smile.

Shuri who heard that gave an angered gaze toward Kokabiel, even if she already exiled from Himejima Clan but there is still someone she cares inside the clan such as Suzaku.

"I need to prove that Fallen Angels are the strongest race by defeating others race, but that damn Azazel started to ignore me!! If only he listened to me that day, we would've won the war. But that Azazel declares that there would be no second war!! Well, f.u.c.k that!! I'm going to challenge every race by eradicating it so that We will be the strongest race" Shouted Kokabiel with a bit of hatred in his eyes.

"Oh and about Baraqiel, I make him occupied with some work in Grigori, so when he noticed something happened here, it's already too late." Said Kokabiel while looking at Shuri with a creepy smile on his face.

Shuri who hears this could only look at Kokabiel with an angry expression on her face while giving a hateful gaze toward him.

Akeno who hears everything from the conversation is confused as to why someone that has the same black wing as her father wants to attack both her and her mother.

'Looks like something really random happens in front of my eyes. I don't know about Suou attacking Shuri is totally random or not, but Kokabiel is supposed to be declaring this kind of stuff when the DxD plot should already start, and by looking at his personality, and his plan also change as he wants to eradicate the Five Principal Clans first rather than killing someone from Gremory and Sitri to start another war.' think Tetsuya while looking at Kokabiel.

"Do you think that the things you did will go unnoticed by everyone!!" Shout Shuri while looking at Kokabiel with an angry expression.

"Of course, I already set up a barrier when those Himejima humans come to the Shrine to attack. The Barrier that I set can hide all the presence inside the barrier including the explosion that Himejima human cause. People who see the barrier from the outside cannot see what is happening inside the barrier and will only see a normal shrine from the outside. Even the top people from other factions is hard to sense what is happening inside the barrier. Well to obtain this kind of barrier needs a lot of material and sacrifice, and after you successfully created the barrier you can use it 6 times at most, Well I intend to use it to kill all the Five Principal Clans head, and then..." Said Kokabiel who boasts about his powerful barrier while looking at Tetsuya who now makes a tired face behind his Incursio mask.

'Damn... He is smarter and talkative than Kokabiel from DxD... But, that is not the point right now. Right now how should I get out of this kind of situation without harming both Shuri-san and Akeno? Truthfully, I don't think I can face Kokabiel with the strength I have right now. There are still three solutions... Well not exactly a solution but it's more like I'm hoping for something to happen. First, Azazel realizes about Kokabiel's betrayal and sent someone to stop him here. Second, Mom realizes something is happening in the shrine and rush toward the shrine. Third, I'm going to fight Kokabiel and all of his soldiers with all of my power while using my status recovery twice, well maybe I can win against all of his 10 soldier who has 3 and 4 pair of black wings if I go all out, but I don't know if I can win the fight against Kokabiel on my own, well this is the cause of me being too greedy with EXP and didn't want to involve mom in this matter, If I die what will happen to me...' think Tetsuya while making a tired expression but slowly turned into Serious but also anxious expression as his face full of sweatdrop.

Shuri who hears Kokabiel is shocked as she didn't expect that he goes so far to wage a war. She then without further ado say something to Kokabiel that is related to Tetsuya.

"Kokabiel!! You make a big mistake if you think that you can go safe after you attack us." Shout Shuri while looking at Kokabiel with a smile on her face trying to act though in front of Kokabiel.

"What do you mean by that Shuri Himejima?" Asked Kokabiel while furrowing his eyes toward Shuri with an intrigued expression on his face.

Tetsuya who looked at Shuri is sighed in relief as he also just about to say about his mom's identity, even though the things he about to do is cowardice but this is the only way for the three of them to survive.

"The person in front of you is the son of Strongest Sword Goddess, one of the top 10 strongest beings." Said Shuri while looking at Kokabiel.

"What!? that kid is the child of that wicked half true-god woman!!" Shout Kokabiel while has a shocked expression on his face but his expression slowly turned into a face full of hatred.

But when Shuri and Tetsuya heard the word 'half true-god' in Kokabiel, he is shocked but also confused.

Tetsuya did know that his father is a half-demon because related to the Tohno family, but he didn't know what to think when he heard Kokabiel called his mother 'half true-god'. When he heard his mother title Swordgod, he only thought that his mother achieved it by being stronger than a god at using a sword.

'Damn I didn't expect that I have a god bloodline in my body, but then why did my Race in my [STATUS] system only mention me being a Half-Human/Half-Demon?' think Tetsuya with a confused expression on his face.

As for Shuri, she knows that her friend is a half-god, but what she is confused about is the word 'True-god'.

"Damn it!! didn't expect that troublesome woman to be here." Said Kokabiel with eyes full of hatred.

"What do you mean by 'half true-god'!!!" Shout Tetsuya while looking at curious and serious expression.

"Despite you being her son, you don't know about her true identity. hahaha, very well, I shall tell you about her identity and why I hate her so much... So that you know that you die because of your mother." Said Kokabiel with eyes full of hatred while laughing and then make an evil smile on his face.

'So he is going to kill me whether I am a bystander or I am the son of my mother, looks like I have to think of a way to get out of this problem while he is talking.' think Tetsuya while looking Kokabiel with a serious expression.

"Well to say that 'half true-god' is also wrong, since there is no longer a true-god after the Age of Gods, the correct word to say is 'the descendant of True-God'!!" Said Kokabiel with a creepy smile on his face.

'Wait... what... so that means that the blood of god on my body is so little because me being a descendant that it didn't display it on my status? and about the Age of Gods is there a connection between that True-God and God itself??' think Tetsuya while wondering all the stuff that is related to the Age of Gods.

"Before the end of the Age of Gods, many God trying to find a solution to connect humans and God due to the attack of a being called Sefar that caused many destructions on the earth including destroying the will of Alayashiki that maintain the balance of the world itself from extinction. There are two solutions to fix this such as creating a keystone to connect humans and God, and that keystone that connects humans and God is a demi-god called Gilgamesh." Said Kokabiel while looking at Tetsuya with a creepy smile.

'What!! Sefar destroys Alayashiki?? What about Counter Guardian?! But other than that, It follows the exact same thing with Nasuverse... But there is a second solution apart from Gilgamesh.' think Tetsuya with a shocked but also confused expression.

"But when the demi-god Gilgamesh does not act the way that other gods want, they try many things to make Gilgamesh stop but failed miserably, that's when the second solution comes." Said Kokabiel with a creepy smile on his face.

"One of God suddenly found an unknown item that can copy their body to materialize on earth, some God want to materialize and some of them don't want since they don't know what will happen to them if the item was used on them." Said Kokabiel while laughing with a creepy smile.

"The God who found the item used the item to materialize all the other God and later died after using all divinity and life force to create the body of other gods. But there are some changes to the god who is being materialized into the world all of them have different appearances, personalities, and also some of them have different gender. In the end, there two types of God, True-God who created this world and God who maintain this world right now." Said Kokabiel with a weird smile.

"How do you know all this?!" the one who asked this question is not Tetsuya but Shuri who is shocked after hearing all of this.

"When I was still in heaven, I happen to sneak up to the Seventh heaven since I was curious about the God system in there. But to what I don't expect, I overheard the God who created us, the God of the Bible talk to someone I believe a True-God through the God-system, well after he found out that I was overhearing his conversation, he then banished me from heaven and makes me a Fallen angels, What a bastard!!! well, Azazel and the others follow me after breaking some rules." Shout Kokabiel with a face full of hatred who remembers all the pain and suffering he has received after his creator throws him from heaven.

'Well that's kinda f.u.c.k up.' think Tetsuya with a deadpan expression while feeling sorry for Kokabiel even though he is his enemy.

"Well, thankfully that son of a bitch God died in that war!!" Said Kokabiel while laughing with a creepy smile.

Shuri who heard this now is shocked as she didn't expect that the God that she knows already dead, but calm down after hearing there is an existence that is more powerful than God.

"Why do you tell us all of this?" Asked Tetsuya while looking at Kokabiel with a serious expression.

"Ah, you see... I forgot to tell you why I hate your mother... You see, your mother has given me a big scar in my c.h.e.s.t that, makes my blood boil for seeking vengeance, and now after finding out her son in front of me, that wants me to see her expression after finding her son died in my hand, as well as completing my ambition to start a war" Said Kokabiel while unleashing a big bloodl.u.s.t toward Tetsuya with a creepy smile and eyes full of hatred.

"Shuri-san, Akeno Run!!!" Shout Tetsuya who immediately feels the pressure from the bloodl.u.s.t.

Shuri and Akeno who heard Tetsuya didn't want to go, but hearing Tetsuya voice that full of determination to protect them, Shuri then pull Akeno who unwillingly to be pulled by Shuri.

"Mom!! Tetsuya is still there!!" Shout Akeno while looking at Shuri then Tetsuya.

"Akeno, please listen to mom!! if we stay here, we only going to get in Tetsuya way!! We have to find a way to reach Tetsuya's mom, so she can help Tetsuya!!" Said Shuri while looking at Akeno with a serious expression but also slightly worried.

Akeno who heard her mom now can only worry in silence as she looks behind her only to see Tetsuya back while wearing Incursio armor.

'Tetsuya-kun please be careful, at least stay alive until I broke the barrier with the cube that Anna give me.' think Shuri while looking at Tetsuya with a worried expression.

~~ FLASHBACK a few Months ago ~~

"Hey, Shuri." Said Anna while looking at Shuri in the shrine living room.

"What wrong?" Asked Shuri while looking back on Anna while preparing some ocha tea to give it to Anna.

"I know it's a bit too late, but I'm giving you this." Said Anna while giving an item that has the shape of a black mini cube to Shuri.

"What is this?" Asked Shuri who has a confused expression while looking at the black mini cube.

"If you get in a situation where you cannot rely on anyone, please use this to protect yourself. This thing can almost destroy everything within a 10-meters radius. Well, you can call this a mini grenade or whatever, well you just need to turn the middle cube trigger to the right, and yeah you just throw it in whatever direction you want." Said Anna with a serious expression then slowly change into a carefree expression on the latter part.

"Ehh!!! isn't this thing too dangerous for me to keep?" Asked Shuri while looking at Anna with a shocked expression.

"That's why I told you to use it when you are in an urgent situation, well I hear from Yukio that some Assassin started to hunt Baraqiel near the Shrine. Well, in any case, you just need to throw the cube and it will send me some signal from the mana that I implant in the cube if the cube blows up, well as long as the mana can still reach me." Said Anna while looking at Shuri.

~~ END OF FLASHBACK ~~

'Well, in any case, I just need to throw it on the barrier that Kokabiel set.' think Shuri with a face full of determination.

Shuri didn't want to throw the cube toward Kokabiel group since there is some chance that it will not hit Kokabiel, she didn't want to risk it since she only got one cube from Anna gives.

Both Shuri and Akeno then run in the opposite direction from Kokabiel group as she runs toward the forest near the shrine.

"Looks like both of them want to run away, even if it's still useless if they are still inside the barrier, I can still track them anytime I want. Well for now I will deal with you." Said Kokabiel while pointing his finger towards Tetsuya.

"Looks like I have to go all out." Said Tetsuya while suddenly the air around Tetsuya turns hot, and his hair color slowly turns into red color as he slowly changes into his 'Crimson Red Vermillion' mode.

'The Winds feels a little hot around here.' think Kokabiel with a little shock but slowly turned into a serious expression while looking at Tetsuya.

Tetsuya then deactivates the Gravity magic that he put into his body that makes him experience 10x Gravity.

"Phew, now my body is so light as a feather." Said Tetsuya while sighing in relief. Tetsuya started Gravity training after obtaining the Gravity magic at first he only uses 2x Gravity since he needs to get used to gravity slowly and his Gravity magic is still low in level but after some time, he already can use 10x Gravity at the most right now. Well because of the gravity magic, he constantly drains his mana to use the gravity magic on his body continuously and needs to stop if he almost runs out of mana, but after he obtained the title 'The one who will create a Legend' that can regenerate mana 5x faster than normal, he now can use it continuously even when he is sleeping.

Tetsuya who already deactivate his Gravity magic then pulled out Gram (Reforged) out of the [ITEM] system.

Tetsuya then pointed his Gram (Reforged) to Kokabiel with his right hand while holding Neuntote in his left hand.

"Bring it on you creepy c*ck bastard!!" Shout Tetsuya while swearing toward Kokabiel.
