Chapter 129 – 129: One of the Top 3 Strongest Beings!

As dark as the night itself, the jet-black wings of the fallen angel, though less than three meters in size, gave an overwhelming impression as if they could cover the sky.

Most importantly, this fallen angel had six pairs of wings—twelve wings in total.

In the entire world, only one person possessed such a number of fallen angel wings.

Himejima Akeno’s eyes dimmed slightly. Biting her lip gently, she whispered, “Uncle Azazel…”

Rias covered her right cheek and said bitterly, “The Governor-General of the Fallen Angels… things are getting more and more complicated.”

Everyone was in a difficult position. First, Kokabiel launched an attack; then the White Dragon Emperor appeared;

Now even the Governor-General of the Fallen Angels had shown up, along with the earlier appearances of Michael, the Vice-Regent of Heaven, and that silver-haired girl who seemed to be God.

They all looked up slightly at Haru, who hadn’t even moved but had instantly killed Kokabiel with just a glare.

After all, he’s now being referred to as Bael!!

With high-ranking figures from the angels, devils, and fallen angels all gathering, was this the prelude to a three-way war?

Hearing her address him as ‘Uncle,’ Azazel turned his head to look at Akeno, a hint of surprise on his face. “Akeno… why are you…? Oh, right, you’re now a servant of Gremory! By the way, if I may ask, do you still resent him?”

Akeno’s expression was downcast; she nodded silently.

Azazel’s face showed a troubled expression. Looking at Vali, who was struggling under his restraint, he felt a sense of sorrow and sighed deeply.

“Why is it that the next generation of us fallen angels are all problem children!!!”

“Azazel!!! Let me go quickly! This is the destiny of the White Dragon Emperor and the Red Dragon Emperor; you can’t stop it!” Vali’s deep voice came from within the helmet that Azazel was holding down.

Azazel’s gaze was filled with kindness and helplessness. He regarded Vali, the White Dragon Emperor, as his own child.

It was precisely because of this that he risked offending Haru by intervening. You should know that as early as this morning, he and Haru had already discovered Kokabiel’s whereabouts.

But until Kokabiel died, he hadn’t chosen to act. Only when Vali tried to challenge Haru did he hurry to stop him.

However, with Vali’s battle-hungry personality…

Azazel’s face was filled with concern, and he sighed lightly. The child had grown up wayward, and being in his rebellious phase made it even harder to manage.

“Top Three Strongest Being—that’s my estimate of his ranking. If you still decide to challenge him after hearing that… I’ll collect your body and then start the war.”

Azazel bent down and whispered softly into Vali’s ear.

Vali, who had been struggling, suddenly trembled and stopped resisting. He understood the significance of ‘top Three.’

It represented the 3 strongest beings in the world, including all gods and demons.

The Dragon God Ophis, who possesses infinite power, and Shiva, who presides over the creation and destruction of the world, are the top two. Could the Red Dragon Emperor before him be comparable to such monstrous beings?

Even if Vali used the Juggernaut Drive without regard for the cost, he could barely squeeze into the top 20.

Although it seemed not much different, the gap between the top 3 and the top 20 was a whole dimension apart; being instantly killed with a glare was highly possible.

He loved battle, but he didn’t want to die meaninglessly.

Vali fell silent and, after a long pause, said in a complicated tone, “You’re not even my real dad; why are you meddling so much!”

Vali slowly deactivated the Balance Breaker of the White Dragon Emperor’s wings. The armor and wings enveloping his entire body vanished without a trace.

Clearly, he had given up on this battle.

“Well then, Bael—or rather, I should call you Haru, right? May I take this kid away?” Azazel looked up, his eyes full of determination, and spoke in a casual tone.

Haru gave Vali a deep look and nodded slightly.

If he were to take away the White Dragon Emperor’s Sacred Gear now, the movements of the terrorist organization Khaos Brigade would probably deviate from the expected plot.

In fact, Haru hoped that Vali would gather his companions to challenge him. After all, he was quite interested in experiencing certain encounters.

Just as Haru nodded, Azazel swiftly reached out, grabbed Vali, hoisted him over his shoulder, and flapped his fallen angel wings. Rising into the sky, he sped into the distance and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Rias and the others collapsed to the ground, showing expressions of relief after a narrow escape.

Haru looked gloomily at Kokabiel’s corpse, revealing a predatory smile reminiscent of Marquis Voban.

“Targeting my woman? You’ll spend eternity in my hell!!”

For some reason, Kokabiel’s corpse continued to tremble.

Early the next morning, in Haru’s private room.

Strange sounds echoed in the room.

Haru lay there, looking bewildered at the chestnut-haired girl in front of him, and asked blankly,

“Irina, what are you doing so early in the morning?”

Irina puffed out her cheeks and said unclearly, “As a believer, having one’s faith nearly collapse is a grave sin, so I’m following in the footsteps of Lord Michael to engage in deep repentance.”

Haru smiled mischievously and said, “Actually, you can go beyond what Lord Michael did and engage in even deeper repentance.”

Irina looked delighted and asked, “Really? How do I do that?”

“Come, I’ll teach you…”

“Why does repentance hurt so much?”

“It only works if it hurts!”

The room filled with a heady mix of sweat and pheromones.

In the afternoon, in the Student Council room of Kuoh Academy, Haru sat on the sofa, looking annoyed at Kiba Yuuto in the corner of the classroom.

Noticing Haru’s gaze, Kiba Yuuto turned his head slightly and gratefully handed the sword in his hand back to Haru, expressing his thanks.

“Lord Bael, thank you for temporarily lending me this sword, Laevatein. I’ve avenged my grudge; please take back this sword.”

Yesterday, among Kokabiel’s subordinates, there was a fat old man wielding a Holy Sword who was Kiba Yuuto’s enemy. Out of kindness, Haru had given him the demonic sword Laevatein from the Sacred Sword of Salvation to exact his revenge.

As a result, after achieving his vengeance, Kiba Yuuto had spent the entire day holding the old man’s head and smiling eerily.

Koneko looked at the head in Kiba Yuuto’s hand with disgust. The sandwich in her hand hovered in mid-air; she didn’t take a bite for a long time.

“So gross!”

Rias smiled wryly at Kiba Yuuto’s strange demeanor. She naturally understood the reason for his behavior—the emptiness that often follows fulfilled revenge.

Thinking of this, Rias helplessly held her forehead and sighed softly. Matters of the heart could only be resolved by oneself.

Then Rias gently clapped her hands and said softly,

“Alright, let’s not worry about Yuuto-kun. Come in, my new Knight!”

The classroom door opened, and a blue-haired girl timidly glanced at Haru, who sat expressionless on the sofa, and quietly walked in.

Looking around at her servants, who displayed various expressions, Rias smiled lightly. “Xenovia is now my Knight. Let’s forget our previous unpleasantness and get along well.”

Haru quickly glanced at Xenovia, showing a look of sudden realization, and teased, “Your faith collapsed?”

Xenovia’s body stiffened suddenly. She then nodded silently and said in a low tone,

“I reported to Lord Michael about… the matter involving you and the silver-haired girl who seems to be God, and then I was expelled from the Church. I heard that Lord Michael personally… gave the order.”

At the mention of ‘personal order,’ tears welled up in Xenovia’s eyes. Her expression seemed to plead for comfort.

However, everyone remained unmoved, looking at Xenovia with eyes full of admiration. You reported such matters? It’s fortunate that Michael didn’t hold a grudge; otherwise, you’d be lamenting in hell.

As for Haru, the instigator of the incident, he calmly sipped his tea, his face unchanging.
