She tried to connect it to the civil war, but I merely told her it wasn't the case.

I didn't reply to what was really happening for Azazel being forced to add more men to the various garrisons, knowing that telling her such detail wouldn't do well as part of Grigori and because the reason itself was worrisome for every individual that could recognize her name.

With Ophis having been spotted in Germany, the Governor-General hadn't restrained himself from applying more groups and squads to join up the traditional settlements to avoid any other interventions from the Dragon of Infinity.

Azazel had known Ophis for the longest, and he had been one of the first ones to make first contact with her and actually survive the meeting.

Albeit serious and quite easy to bore about, the Dragon was also childish and naive with its curiosity and hunger.

Candies was its prime delight, and that very detail had saved the leader of Grigori plenty of times when ending up meeting either him or her.

Because yes, Ophis was… genderless. Born in infinity, it was impossible to truly determine if this is the truth or perhaps there wasn't a reason to bring up this norm as part of itself.

At first the Dragon was spotted as an elderly man, then it decided to stick around with a little girl form.

...Yes, Ophis wanted easy candy, and to be underestimated by her opponents.

Yet in that mere encounter I had with her, not only did I survive getting discovered, but I also ended up threatening her with the True Longinus.

The blade would have easily damaged her, and pushed her to seek dormancy to recover from any skirmish against the God-slaying weapon.

Speaking of the original Sacred Gear, I also ended up learning from Azazel something that I hadn't actually thought about.

While Raynare had been the perfect example in showing that a Sacred Gear can be removed from its host, killing them, and implanted on a new one, the procedure wasn't technically the only mean to deprive a user of its unique ability.

True Longinus was no different from the Boosted Gear, or Twilight Healing about this basic notion, and the only way to prevent Cao Cao to actually summon it back to his side was the application of numerous seals that were supposed to 'confuse the weapon in a state of lethargy'.

It wouldn't cut the connection to the user, but it would deprive him the chance of calling it back to himself, thus depriving Grigori of the greatest of the Sacred Gears.

But the reasoning behind actually keeping Cao Cao alive stemmed from two strategical reasons, with the first one being related to the fact that there was no one within the organization with even a chance of properly bond with the True Longinus.

There were some strict requirements about the lance that just made the bonding process something of a deadly attempt to gain quite the high reward.

The second benefit behind this decision was that Grigori could now easily track down where the young man was thanks to the continuous bond he had over the Sacred Gears. Whatever was left of the Hero Faction could be now easily hunted down by professional agents from the organization.

Caco Cao had been literally neutered for the chances of actually forming a threatening force that could easily create problems to the Three Factions of the Christian Pantheon.

And while I couldn't spare any details about my mission in Dresden, I decided to let out some information about what I 'discovered' from saving Ingvild from the Hero Faction.

Sona was surprised and skeptical over learning about the survival of some of the descendants to the Leviathan Clan, mentioning that there were some good proof that dismissed this kind of claims.

Yet I forwarded Katarea's name, mentioning that the other descendant had already forfeited her rights as a member of the clan to properly join Grigori.

The bespectacled girl was anxious about the matter, and unsure of the credibility of the discovery, but the fact I had sounded so certain about it ended up being more than enough to at least advance some warnings to her sister.

In a normal circumstance, I wouldn't had a reason to actually mind if Serafall knew or not about this very detail so soon…

But then Ophis and Cao Cao had somehow managed to get their hands on Ingvild so early in the plot. It just wasn't… ideal for me.

It meant that my knowledge was starting to get less and less capable of predicting exactly what was going to happen next.

The Khaos Brigade was starting to live up to their name by making a chaotic mess of the timeline, but… maybe it wasn't only their fault for this to be happening.

By intervening so early in the plot I had caused some ripples across the pond and, while it didn't do too much early on, the effects were already there for me to notice from afar.

The situation was just escalating the more I intervened. Which meant I had to be careful by how I had to move thorough the insane chessboard between the various deities, monsters, heroes, and morons of this world.

At least the lore wasn't just going to change suddenly and without an apparent reason and the canon had several mythologies explained in the story, so not everything was lost about this all.

"That's good to hear," I replied to Sona, smiling a little as I knew that this was just going to help up in the long term. "And I suppose you wanted to talk about the letter too, the one for-"

"Ruval Phenex, yes," The bespectacled girl answered with a sigh. "Since you've been unable to do anything about it because of this recent assignment. I wanted to ask you if it would be alright if Tsubaki and I visited for the afternoon to help you with it."

I blinked at that offer and hummed about it as I concluded the last batch of the paperwork left for today.
