Chapter 128: Chapter 128 - Planning Part 2
Facing Himejima Akeno's request, Amano Yuuma and the other three nodded in a friendly manner.
In fact, because Aoki knew some information beforehand, his plan was rather crude and crude, so it seemed that whether he would succeed or not all depended on Rias's attitude.
Simply put, his plan was to let Amano and Yuuma take the blame and then fake his own death to see the reaction of the fallen angels.
Naturally, he was blamed for taking the artifact. He faked his death by pretending to be discovered by Rias, who was in charge of this place, and then killed him.
After completing the above, let's see what the reaction of the fallen angels is.
As long as Rias can resist, or the Gremory family can withstand the pressure, Amano and Yuuma can appear with new identities and completely get rid of the Fallen Angel camp.
The premise of all this is that Rias agrees to cooperate, so naturally it is impossible for Amano Yuuma and others to show their faces to their future superiors.
It's just that they didn't know about the recent three-way talks and the Fallen Angel's disdain for them, otherwise they would have known how perfect Aoki's plan was.
Ahem...
In fact, the difficulty of this plan is convincing Rias, Rias is not someone who accepts followers lightly.
But things went much better than Aoki expected. Rias hardly hesitated and immediately agreed after Aoki made the request.
Her trust and expectations for Aoki are deeper than Aoki herself expected.
Of course, objectively speaking, Rias has a lot of chess pieces, so it doesn't matter if she gives her three soldiers.
Even if there aren't many chess pieces, the three fallen angels in the middle still have considerable combat power.
Not long ago, Aoki learned that there was a saying that after being reincarnated into a dependent, one could be dismissed.
However, if you want to step down, you must obtain the master's consent. Not all 'kings' are willing to let go of their obedient and powerful dependents.
Therefore, if the cooperation is not pleasant in the future, the worst case scenario is to dismiss her and Rias will not suffer any loss.
This was also the reason why Aoki was confident in persuading Rias, but in the end these reasons were useless.
As for Amano Yuuma and the others…
They always thought that Aoki was also Rias' descendant reincarnated using a demonic chess piece, and they were all mentally prepared to become Aoki's servants from the start.
Now that the three of them have become Rias's dependents, their status is equal to Aoki's, so naturally they have nothing to dislike.
Furthermore, they understand better than Aoki what it means to be the next head of the Gremory family. Strictly speaking, they have an advantage in becoming dependents of a person of such high status.
As for the topic of the camp, since Amano and Yuuma have become Rias's dependents, what he should consider is how to protect them.
In this way, a plan that satisfied all three parties was born and implemented.
"Roar!!!"
Just when the atmosphere was very good and it felt like a meeting with new colleagues, an earth-shaking roar caused everyone present to change their expressions.
Aoki was the closest and the most affected, and he was directly forced to interrupt the ceremony.
Looking at the red dragon phantom emerging from Hyoudou Issei's body, he wiped the blood from his mouth and said solemnly, "Everyone, be careful, this artifact is really very dangerous."
"How could this happen?" Amano Yuuma looked at this scene with surprise on his face, "The book recording the ceremony didn't say anything like this?!"
Rias stared at the dragon-shaped phantom still exuding fierce power with her eyes closed, "Because this ritual records how to deprive the artifact, not how to deprive the God of Destruction."
Amano Yuuma was stunned for a moment and said in disbelief, "You mean… impossible, how could the Kami Destroyer choose such a brat?!"
As the only thirteen divine destruction tools in the world, each one has very terrifying power and its own will. Only they choose their host, and it is impossible to force one to become its user.
Otherwise, with Hyoudou Issei's strength in the original work, even if Rias valued it, it would not be able to develop safely.
"If we're wrong, it should be the will of the soul of Ye Ddraig Goch, one of the Red Celestial Dragons, the Red Dragon Emperor."
Rias said solemnly, "In other words, what dwells within that child is a divine annihilation device called the Sekiryuutei Cage."
"Ah la ah la…" Himejima Akeno said worriedly, "It seems that the deprivation ritual stimulated the Sekiryuutei that was sealed in the artifact…"
Rias nodded, "Yes, we can kill the host chosen by the God's Destruction Gear, but it is impossible to deprive it by force."
"This is really the worst occurrence…" Feeling the severe trauma on his body, Aoki smiled, "Buchou, is there no other way?"
"If you want to use the God-Slaying Gear, you must obtain the Sekiryuutei's approval." Rias held her chin and thought, "The Sekiryuutei is still sleeping. The blow just now should have been the limit. Maybe we can wake up. Lift him up, talk to him."
Indeed, it is not that simple to obtain the protagonist's golden finger.
Aoki heaved a sigh, calmed his emotions, and said in a deep voice, "Then talk to Him. If it doesn't work, you can only give up."
Hearing this, Amano Yuuma subconsciously said, "Are you going to let something so dangerous go? What if this kid uses this to deal with…"
"Yuuma-chan, even if it's a God-killing Tool, it still depends on who's using it."
Aoki interrupted her and said confidently, "When I can fully master the God-killing Equipment, perhaps my strength will surpass Er Tianlong."
No matter how powerful the God-killing Equipment is, it only seals the Sekiryuutei's soul and will. It possesses some of the Sekiryuutei's abilities and cannot be as strong as Er Tianlong.
If you have the strength to surpass Er Tianlong, it doesn't matter whether you have a divine annihilation tool or not.
"Beyond Ertianlong..."
Amano Yuuma muttered, but quickly came back to his senses and retorted, "No, do you know what Ertianlong means? That is a being that is more powerful than the Demon King and God, and wants to..."
His words were interrupted again, but this time it was not Aoki, but the awakened Sekiryuutei.
"Wow, I heard everything you just said. You have a good sense of humor."
The rich and mature male voice echoed in the ears of everyone present, except for Aoki and Rias, the other four people took a few steps back with pale faces, swaying, as if they would fall at any moment.
With their A-level strength, they couldn't even face the Sekiryuutei directly.
"Lord Ye Ddraig Goch, I have long admired my name. I am Rias Gremory, the next head of the Gremory family."
Rias performed a noble etiquette and said solemnly, "Don't be offended, I didn't know before that this young man was your chosen one."
"It turns out to be the girl from the Gremory family." The huge dragon eyes turned and looked at Rias, "The one who sealed me back then was a part of your ancestors."
Back then, Er Tianlong broke into the battlefield of the fallen angels, angels, and demons, and ate many strong men from the three tribes, regardless of the camp.
In the end, he was killed by the remaining strong men of the three tribes, and his soul was sealed, forming the Red Dragon Emperor's Cage Hand and the White Dragon Emperor's Dragon Wings.
Now that he mentioned this, Rias simply lifted her skirt and bowed slightly, without any intention of answering.
Sekiryuutei did not dwell too much on this matter. If word got out, others would think he was bullying the children.
"Boy, you must have started the ritual earlier."
Sekiryuutei's soul turned its attention to Aoki and said, "Your temperament is to my liking and I don't mind you using me."
Aoki was not too excited. Apparently Sekiryuutei heard their previous conversation and the next step was the focus.
He pondered for a moment and replied, "Sekiryuutei, if you have any requests, just ask them directly."
"Alright," Sekiryuutei said straight to the point, without ink, "I can be your weapon, but I won't sign a contract with you. If your growth doesn't satisfy me, I can leave at any time."
Aoki agreed without much hesitation. He originally didn't want another soul to reside in his body, and this proposal matched his thoughts.
"Don't worry, that's just the first condition."
Sekiryuutei continued, "If your strength exceeds Er Tianlong as you said, I hope you'll do something for me."
"I'll tell you what the specific matter is when the time comes. At first, I wanted to cultivate this boy slowly, but now it seems that you're more suitable."
Although I don't know what it is, Aoki's goal is to transcend. If the strength of the Tianlong level is not enough, then continue to improve.
"I agreed." Aoki nodded and said seriously: "Do you need me to sign the contract?"
Naturally, the agreement between strong people cannot rely solely on verbal guarantees. There are special contractual spells to bind them.
Although as long as the strength is strong enough, the contract may not be of any use.
