[Second Trial of the Sevenfold Ordeal: Take in hand the Holy Spear He forged and travel to other worlds to capture that sliver of possibility which can save them.]
[Only by collecting the possibilities of worlds can you seal the enemy's power to manipulate world-lines when you face them.]
[Upon passing the trial, you will obtain ownership of the "Spear that Pierces the World."]
[Congratulations on passing the Second Trial.]
[Next comes the Third Trial of the Sevenfold Ordeal: Defeat the Four Great Seraphim.]
[While you complete the remaining trials, configure "Savior Mode" to observe and collect the possibilities of other worlds.]
[As it stands, the "Spear that Pierces the World" still cannot cope with the crisis to come.]
"Mm, I know."
Sai Akuto nodded.
A red-grade weapon is capped at Dragon God-class.
But in the original timeline, the evil gods of the exe world are far beyond Dragon God-class!
…
Turning his head, Akuto saw Michael's solemn face.
"Akuto-dono, from here on, we shall be your opponents. Please, do not hold back for fear of injuring us—show us your full strength."
"I believe that is also what God desires to witness!"
Michael and the other three Seraphim looked upon Akuto with deep respect.
Because the Akuto who had gained the recognition of the "Supreme Sacred Jewel" had already become Heaven's new successor!
…
Within the sub-space Michael opened.
Akuto stood opposite the Four Great Seraphim.
Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel—the four Seraphim stared at Akuto in astonishment.
Because behind Akuto, ten black demonic wings and ten holy light wings unfurled at the same time!
This was the successor chosen by the God of the Bible—a miraculous youth unaffected by the forces of both holy and demonic.
Indeed, if it's him… perhaps he can truly create the miracle even the God of the Bible could not!
Sensing upon Akuto that presence so similar to the God of the Bible yet distinctly different, the four Seraphim felt both comforted and sorrowful.
Comforted, because the God of the Bible had finally found someone to inherit His will.
Sorrowful, because the aura on Akuto proved that the God of the Bible… had already left them forever!
"Let's make this quick~"
Akuto saw their sorrow, but he wasn't particularly moved.
So what if He died?
As long as he completes the conquest of the DxD world, he can directly use the Reincarnation Pool to pull the God of the Bible out from a timeline where He's already dead!
In fact, after finishing the Akame ga Kill world, Akuto had revived many people from past timelines—like Sheele's "good bestie" who betrayed her, and Miss Martha who had treated Akame well, and so on and so forth.
Rather than wallow in the past, better to think about how to get stronger, fast.
Because the Reincarnation Pool cannot revive anyone stronger than himself!
…
[Welsh Dragon — Balance Breaker!]
[Forbidden Hand! "Boosted Gear Scale-Mail"!]
"BOOM!!~"
Pure draconic aura erupted; Akuto's power instantly rose to the pinnacle of Super Devil-class!
Without using the Tyrant Dragon, Akuto had already reached the apex of Super Devil-class!
"If that is so, Akuto-dono, then forgive your subordinate! Uuu!"
"Form up!"
At Michael's command, the other three Seraphim flew to three directions.
"Vmmm~"
A golden sacred triangular array unfolded, guarding the central Michael.
Without invoking the means left by the God of the Bible, Michael had already employed the Sacred Liturgy!
With the Four Great Seraphim in formation, even a peak Super Devil could only be trapped to death within!
…
"Mm-hmm? Then take this greeting gift first~" Akuto extended a hand and snapped his fingers.
[Heaven-Shattering Ice Star!]
"Snap~"
With a single snap, a super-massive ice sphere hundreds of kilometers across appeared in the sky and plummeted straight down!
"Akuto-dono even wields ice?"
"Could his essence be 'variant'? Besides mutating himself into pure-blood, besides mutating himself to be unafraid of holy power, did Akuto-dono also mutate his water-attribute bloodline into an ice-attribute bloodline?"
[Flames of the Angel!]
Michael's golden wings turned into crimson-gold wings of angelic flame and fanned at the colossal ice star!
"Ssssshhhhh!!~~"
Under the ultimate heat of the angelic flames, within a single breath, the giant ice sphere was vaporized without a trace!
…
Of course Akuto hadn't expected such a single ice star to inflict notable harm upon Michael and the others.
"Heaven-Shattering Ice Star" was merely Akuto's trick to draw Michael's attention and momentarily disrupt the formation of the Four Seraphim!
While Michael and the others were dealing with the ice star, Akuto summoned the Legion of Super Dangerous Species he had subjugated in the Akame ga Kill world!
After founding a new empire, Akuto launched a conquest of the world.
He conquered not only human nations, but a vast host of Super Dangerous Species as well.
Those already dead yet with intact remains were given life through "Phantasmal Beast Simulacrum."
Those not yet dead were implanted with "Irregular Pieces" to make them his war-pets.
In terms of ultimate ceiling, Super Dangerous Species obviously cannot compare to the story's heroines destined to grow to the world's cap.
But during the heroines' growth, these Super Dangerous Species would be Akuto's firmest rear guard!
[Hades' Blessing!]
"BOOM!~"
One, two, three, ten, a hundred… countless Super Dangerous Species manifested from the void!
Among them, the most eye-catching was a colossal draconic Dangerous Species wreathed in rolling clouds!
That cloud-wreathed dragon was—East Sea Cloud Dragon!
It was the one that granted the First Emperor those body hairs capable of tearing space!
After being defeated by Akuto, it was forcibly implanted with an Irregular Piece!
Thus, the East Sea Cloud Dragon became the mightiest of Akuto's Super Dangerous Species war-pets in the Akame ga Kill world!
"This is—!"
For a moment, Michael was stunned by the legion Akuto had summoned.
These Super Dangerous Species were at least high-class Devil level; among them, quite a few had already reached Super Devil-class!
The strongest—the giant dragon coiling within the clouds—was even equal to Michael with the other Seraphs' blessings upon him!
"Either Akuto-dono possesses the primordial power to create life…"
"Or, during his journeys to other worlds to collect their possibilities, he casually subjugated these beings."
"Whichever it is, compared to the Devil-class strength he's shown outsiders so far, he has concealed himself far too deeply!"
"Haaaah!!!~"
"Colleagues! Split up! Break these alien creatures as quickly as possible!"
With the Super Dangerous Species numbering in the hundreds, and swift annihilation impossible, Michael could only choose to divide and conquer.
It couldn't be helped—if the others kept channeling their blessings into him, Akuto would only need to tie Michael down, and the remaining Seraphim would instantly be thrown into peril!
"Just what I wanted."
Akuto had been waiting for the moment the Four Seraphim split!
…
Under the East Sea Cloud Dragon's veil of mist, Akuto fought Michael while letting his own water-mist coil around the Four Seraphim.
Ordinarily, if Akuto unleashed Leviathan's Water, Michael and the others would sense it.
But now, what Akuto used was not new Leviathan's Water; it was the vapor left after the ice sphere formed from Leviathan's Water dispersed!
After "Heaven-Shattering Ice Star" was blasted apart by Michael, Akuto's Leviathan's Water was merely vaporized, not destroyed!
If he only manipulates Leviathan's Water already present on the field, its stealth is unquestionably top-tier!
Add to that the East Sea Cloud Dragon—a giant lightbulb that controls cloud and fog by nature—and not one of the four Seraphim sensed the incoming danger!
The Ice Phoenix soared, freezing the sky.
Tyrande charged, evolving ceaselessly even under angelic flame.
The East Sea Cloud Dragon roared, steering mists to cloak its allies while leveraging its overwhelming physique to ram back and forth among the four Seraphim.
"—" "BOOM!~"
With a Divine-Domain kick stacked with Wamot Authority, Akuto shattered the void, stepped into Michael's opening, and drove a kick into him!
"Snap~"
As Michael flew backward, Akuto lightly snapped his fingers.
[Urgent · Aqua Magi-Burst!]
…
Urgent · Aqua Magi-Burst is the ultimate art of the "Water Burst" series recorded in the Book of Leviathan—the more completely the bloodline is developed, the more absolute its might!
Take "Water Burst" for example: in the Book of Leviathan, different formulae advance along different routes.
Water Burst (usable by High-class Devils and below; grants one's body the ability to detonate with Leviathan's Water; freely controllable forms)
Aqua Magi-Burst (usable by Devil-class and below; amplifies explosive force; the water-demon's shadow adds auto-lock and fusion-charge)
Urgent · Aqua Magi-Burst (usable by Chief God-class and below; after the explosion, the scattered droplets can themselves further explode, and it adds the function to fuse with other skills)
A rough set of advancement routes:
Water Burst (Nochengo) → Aqua Magi-Burst → Urgent · Aqua Magi-Burst → ???
Dissolving Tide → Sea of Dissolution → Heavens-Devouring Sea → ???
Serpent of the Abyss → Abyssal Three-Headed Dragon → Ten-Headed Leviathan → ???
Torrent → Surging Billow → Ocean Roar → ???
…
"The First Leviathan only proposed the concept and initial structure of Urgent · Aqua Magi-Burst—he never perfected it."
"Even I only completed this unfinished move by combining 'Undying' with the East Sea Cloud Dragon's power over 'mist,' and through study of world-rules after subjugating that world."
"'Urgent ' carries the senses of 'repeatedly' and 'pressingly.'"
The greatest difference between Urgent · Aqua Magi-Burst and ordinary Aqua Magi-Burst lies in… Urgent · Aqua Magi-Burst can detonate continuously!
After the initial blast, the scattered droplets and vapor can re-absorb ambient air to form a chain of force and also trigger the corresponding natural laws to cause a second explosion, a third explosion!
In theory, as much as the mana Akuto distributed throughout the surrounding space—and as much as the ambient world-energy there is—so many detonations can occur!
"BOOM!"
A single thunderous detonation.
Yet that was only the beginning!
"BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM!! BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM!!~~"
After one blast came a cascade—seemingly endless—of explosions!
"BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM!!!~"
Under the chain detonations, the Four Great Seraphim fell from the sky simultaneously—.
