Chapter 101: Deja Vu
--- Chapter 101 ---
Huo Yuhao sipped his tea and looked at the archangels who visited the Dragon Nest Compound out of nowhere. He can see them coming with Observation Haki beforehand, despite not using it to the fullest.
'Well, Observation Haki should be active passively as long as my spiritual core still has energy left.' He thought while checking the massive tree in his spiritual sea. His contracted souls are enjoying their time, building their personal spaces.
Huo Yuhao chuckled inside because Tian Meng was building a private beach inside his spiritual sea. This Skydream Iceworm is carefree and exceptional at manipulating spiritual energy, resting on a beach chair made of ice with classy sunglasses over her head.
'Go away, Yuhao! This sister needs some relaxing time after crazy shit happens around you!' Tian Meng rolled her body around and waved her hand lazily at him. If only she wore a bikini, she would look better. Oh well, she was too lazy to change her hoodie.
Huo Yuhao sighed at her, 'That's not very cute of you, Sister Daydream.'
The corner of Tian Meng's mouth twitched slightly, and she ignored him from now on because he would drag this useless conversation for his personal amusement. 'What a sadist...' She grumbled while covering her head with a pillow.
"Um, Blue-Eyed Dragon God." Someone called Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao placed his cup on the table and replied, "Sorry, I was "daydreaming." for a moment."
'Fuck you!' Tian Meng yelled from the spiritual sea.
'Fuck you, motherfucker.'
'Thanks for the compliment.' Huo Yuhao replied while smiling at the archangels. After all, what Tian Meng said was true.
'IT'S NOT A COMPLIMENT!'
...
"Yuhao-sama, I brought some snacks too." Grayfia placed a big plate filled with bite-sized sweets, cakes, and other food.
"Thank you, Grayfia."
Huo Yuhao nodded in recognition because she knew how to serve guests well. Picking a Manju from the place, he asked, "So what do you guys need from me?"
Micheal sighed and replied, "We shall surrender heaven to you, Blue-Eyed Dragon God. It was our father's order before he passed away from using the last bit of his divine power to foresee the future."
"I see... He's a fragile man with strong beliefs, not going to lie." Huo Yuhao commented while recalling the Biblical God's condition. "He got weakened when fighting in the Great War, and my attack should worsen his condition furthermore."
"He is..." The male archangel smiled weakly.
They kept talking about heaven's surrender and Huo Yuhao's upcoming plan, which led to the matter of heaven's system left behind by the Biblical God to control the flow of the world.
Huo Yuhao was speechless and commented, "Who would have thought he supports my goal of conquering this world? I know heaven will be my territory sooner or later, but this was faster than I expected."
"Like, aren't you guys in heaven opposing this decision?"
Micheal shook his head and replied, "Father's order is absolute for us. And I always believed he was doing the best for everyone."
"You're a good man, Micheal. However, don't get me started on how fucked his system was." Huo Yuhao made the archangel's expression harden in dread. "Do you think his system is perfect for maintaining this world's balance?"
"If so, why did such a thing like Balance Break exist in Sacred Gears?"
"I fought with the White Dragon Emperor a few days ago, and he used the Balance Breaker. Unless the Biblical God wants humans to strive and break their limit, this "Bug." in the system shouldn't get intended, right?"
"Since you're the temporary governor of heaven's system, you should realize there are more flaws now." He added while staring into Micheal's eyes. "The heaven needs a new God."
Micheal stood up from the couch, and his eyes widened when hearing that last line, "Don't tell me you want to take over the system."
"That's his last wish, no?" Huo Yuhao returned casually.
"..." Micheal.
"Haa... Correct. He wanted you to govern the heavens but with a condition." He responded while sitting back.
Huo Yuhao honestly was amused by the Biblical God's condition and asked, "What is it?"
Micheal breathed in because their father's words were still fresh in his mind, despite hundred years having passed. He glanced at Gabriel and moved his gaze back to Huo Yuhao.
"Protect this world from an outsider."
"So he knew?" Huo Yuhao couldn't help but laugh. After all, the Biblical God can see far into the future, but he somehow expected Huo Yuhao to protect this world. Ah, he doesn't have a choice left.
"Father knew that you were from another world. He couldn't find a single record of your existence in heaven's system." Gabriel suddenly opened her mouth. "He left these words before passing away..."
"The Great Red has always been protecting the Dimensional Gap from an outside threat, but our father calculates that within one year after your second appearance, something dangerous would come and destroy this world."
"Trihexa also comes in contact with Lucifer's Blood and breaks the seal he placed before the Great War, making the threats not only coming from outside but inside our worlds as well."
Grayfia frowned when Gabriel mentioned Lucifer's Blood and stared at Huo Yuhao. "Yuhao-sama, Lucifer Clan have perished and only left a few descendants as far as I know." She reported solemnly.
"The only person with Lucifer's Blood I could think of right now is Rizevim Livan Lucifer. He's the last descendant of Lucifer."
The silver-haired maid knew Huo Yuhao had Lucifer's Blood through an unknown method, but he didn't seem to be a person who would awaken the legendary beast that could destroy the world. He wanted to conquer this world, not destroy it.
"There is another person with Lucifer's Blood, but Rizevim is still the main suspect." Huo Yuhao suddenly stated, which left Grayfia quiet because all Lucifer descendants should get recorded within her family library.
"No, that can't be..." Grayfia covered her mouth as a person came into her mind. "Razevan Lucifer, The original Lucifer's grandson. He died ten years ago in an accident."
"And A kid is missing in that very accident."
"Vali Lucifer." Huo Yuhao nodded, finishing Grayfia's mysteries.
"He's on our side, don't worry about him awakening Trihexa."
"That guy might be dumb, but he's not that dumb."
In the Grigori, Vali sneezed and immediately frowned while looking around his room. "Someone is talking about me..." He muttered while lying on his bed.
"Since when did you become this narcissistic, Vali?" Albion couldn't help but curiously question his host.
Vali rolled his eyes in disbelief and said, "Shut up. Albion."
Back at the Dragon Nest Compound, Grayfia Lucifuge was dumbfounded and pondered because she had met the young man Huo Yuhao talked about now. Vali Lucifer is the current White Dragon Emperor, which means his mother is a human.
"Vali is part of Dragon Nest now. He wouldn't do such a thing." Huo Yuhao confirmed his own words because Micheal and Gabriels appeared nervous. At last, they finally could sigh in relief.
And Huo Yuhao can't blame them because Trihexa's existence is like a ticking bomb to this world. Even though he wasn't sure how stronger this creature was because he hasn't read any Highschool DxD's light novels, he gave them the benefit of the doubt as the Biblical God warned him in the past.
"Oh yeah, do you guys know about this?"
Huo Yuhao opened his palm and released a brownish-golden light, making Gabriel squeal in surprise. The bombshell archangel grasped Huo Yuhao's hand and cried, "Father!"
"Huh??" Huo Yuhao felt the warmth of Gabriel's soft hand, watching her cries.
Micheal was frozen like a statue when sensing Huo Yuhao's brownish-golden light, powerful energy that only Biblical God possessed and no one could replicate. Still, Huo Yuhao's version seems more powerful and different because the faith sent to Huo Yuhao was from all Dragon Nest members who believe in his mightiness.
"Father!!" Gabriel hugged Huo Yuhao and shoved her bountiful breast onto his face.
Grayfia couldn't feel anything and asked, "Um, can someone explain?"
"Yuhao-sama?"
Huo Yuhao shook his head and returned, "I'm the one who asked about this first, Grayfia."
Micheal lifted himself from the couch and walked to Huo Yuhao with a solemn expression. He stared at him and kneeled before the brownish-golden light.
"Oh, Father... Someone has inherited your will." He lowered his head.
"Yuhao-sama, please put the heavens under your control..."
Huo Yuhao sighed, "This feels familiar."
