Abilities
-Path of Human God (Authority):
See auxiliary chapter titled 'Path of Human God' for details.
-Blessing of the Great Will:
Refer to Chapter 2 for context.
-Senjutsu:
He mastered the arts of Senjutsu with the knowledge he gained from Oro's template from Street Fighter.
-Devil Physiology (Chainsaw Man–Type):
General Abilities:
Rein possesses all the standard abilities of a Chainsaw Man–type Devil. These include Fear Empowerment (rooted in the concept of "Humans"), regeneration through blood consumption, supernatural physical attributes, contract creation, and devil reincarnation.
Because the structure of Hell in the DxD world differs from that of the Chainsaw Man universe, Rein's reincarnation follows a unique rule: whenever he is killed, he will reincarnate on Earth, but his memories and personality will reset completely.
Rein does not possess a "soul" in the human sense. Instead, his existence is centered around a conceptual core, the embodiment of a feared concept given physical form.
As such, the only true way to permanently kill him would be to erase his concept from existence itself, such as through Pochita's erasure ability.
Unique Abilities:
As the Human Devil, Rein possesses three unique devil powers derived from humanity's collective fear of itself. He has one primary ability, which will be revealed in Arc 3, and two secondary abilities, listed below.
-Identity Theft:
A conceptual ability that allows Rein to steal the identity of anyone he makes direct physical contact with. Upon contact, he becomes that person both visually and conceptually. The world will recognize him as the genuine individual, and no being is capable of discerning him as a fake unless he behaves out of character for the identity he is assuming.
Rein does not gain the target's memories, abilities, or skills, only their physical appearance and conceptual identity.
He may maintain only one stolen identity at a time, and the effect lasts for 24 hours. Once this duration ends, the identity dissolves completely, and Rein must reestablish physical contact with the target to assume it again.
-Synergy:
A conceptual ability that allows Rein to merge with, possess, or empower entities whose existence embodies a human-made concept. Upon activation, Rein may either assume control or coexist with the target entity, greatly amplifying the target's conceptual effectiveness rather than his own.
This ability applies to Devils, Gods, and other beings only if their power is derived from concepts born of human invention, belief, fear, or violence.

Sacred Gear
Name: Fading Angel
Rank: Longinus
Description:
The user can steal lifespan, the literal remaining time a person has left to live, from other beings with a touch.
The stolen lifespan is stored within the Sacred Gear and used as the essence to create weapons with unique properties.
More lifespan used = stronger and more specialized the weapon.
Weapons manifest from the black halo above the user's head, descending downward while avoiding harming the user's head.
After its evolution, the Sacred Gear's previous lifespan storage capacity of 5,000 years has been expanded to 10,000 years.
Additionally, the user is now capable of summoning the Angel Devil, the entity that serves as the core source of this Sacred Gear.
While the Angel Devil is summoned, the user is unable to use the Sacred Gear, as its source is temporarily absent. The Angel Devil must be unsummoned before the Sacred Gear can be accessed again.
For power-scaling reference: a weapon created using 10,000 years of lifespan and dedicated purely to destruction possesses enough force to annihilate approximately two-thirds of the country of Argentina.
Drawbacks:
He cannot steal lifespan from beings who possess true immortality or an infinite lifespan. Only mortals whose lives are finite and measurable can be affected.

2. Makima - Owner(?) | Love Interest
3. Reze - Love Interest

(Author's Note: Rein didn't leave Yelena and Yana behind. He just reached a point where they no longer mattered to him. This isn't cruelty, it's what his devilhood took from him.)
