"Oppai!" The Oppai dragon song began to play causing the peerage and Rias to blush in both surprise and embarrassment, Bikou laughed till he dropped on the ground. Vali listened with interest while Arthur acted like nothing was happening.
Yet everyone was surprise when Issei responded with the word "Oppai" with his hands stretching out,
"Ready?" Masaru glanced at Vali who nodded.
[White tiger Emperor - Balance breaker]
Masaru's outfit was replaced by a white shirt made from the skin of a white tiger, grey leather pants held firmly around his waist with a chain belt. Black metal layered shin guard leather boots. Over his torso, open cloak Jacket with a Belial Crest pattern engraved pauldron attached on his left shoulder. His left hand was wearing a full white tiger leather gauntlet that reached till his elbow and his right hand was a similar gauntlet however it was fingerless.
His favoured sword, Deadheart was sheathed within Avalon. However the design and colour of the sword and sheath was different from it's original, what appeared in its place was a Katana as black as the night and a black sheath with a white flame marking drawn over it.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Kuroka who saw Masaru's balance breaker began to drool, her eyes were fixated on something that was never there before but was there now. Even Rias and they were surprised at the sight, Masaru who gained silver-coloured tiger ears.
"NYA!!!" Kuroka in her heat pounced towards Masaru but was brought down with a chop of her head,
"ouch!" Kuroka cried out with her ears flat and her eyes threatening to tear up,
"We are in a critical situation girl" Masaru said with a sigh, he glanced at Rias and them before turning around.
[Vanishing Dragon - Balance breaker]
Vali materialized his white plated armour, expanding his light blue coloured wings he flew ahead of Masaru. "Hmph, I will show you that dragons are the strongest" he muttered to himself.
"Well anyway, Rias, get yourself ready to face Issei," Masaru said before he turned around and ran, the increase in his agility while equipping the balance breaker of the White Tiger, caused the simple jog of Masaru to appear like he was dashing in the speed of a racing car leaving rising dust in his trail.
"Roaar!!!" Issei roared before releasing a beam of dragon aura towards Vali and Masaru, Vali chose to dodge immediately while Masaru smirked as he continued to dash in the direction of the beam. Just before the beam could reach Masaru, he disappeared when he used his space magic to warp right behind Issei.
Several coloured magic formation appeared surrounding Issei as Masaru began to scan him in his entirety, the chaotic energy, the dark aura filled with hatred, the dragon aura, everything was being picked up by Masaru who finally understood why Azazel said that a human who has the Boosted gear should either be taken in by either of the factions or be killed immediately.
"I see, no wonder Raynare killed him although she did not know which sacred gear he had" Masaru muttered before he slapped Issei with a hand cloaked in his bloodline power, interrupting the energy flow from his abdomen to his mouth causing the beam attack to halt abruptly.
With the opening Vali swooped down hitting issei once before the familiar resounding noise could be heard from his sacred gear.
[Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide!]
Swiftly Issei began to shrink in size as his power he accumulated was stolen from him and halved, Masaru nodded as he glanced at Rias. "Heh, time to sign little girl" he said before he vanished, he did not want to see the scene that was about to happen right now.
Since he respected her privacy, instead he appeared near Kuroka once more who was incredibly excited to see Masaru's balance breaker.
"You have to stay like this!" Kuroka said with a serious face, but Masaru could see her eyes filled with lust that betrayed her acting.
"Don't be unreasonable" Masaru said with a wry smile before he released his balance breaker state, this caused Kuroka to feel a sense of loss however when Masaru patted her head gently she instantly became energized again.
"That Sheath" Arthur asked while looking at Masaru with interest,
"Yes, Old man Edward gave it to me to guard it for the Pendragon Family," Masaru said since he knew why Arthur was surprised to see the sheath,
"More like you took it, I doubt it can come undone from your sacred gear," Arthur said with a smirk on his face,
"Well it's an honest mistake after all," Masaru said shamelessly, he honestly did not think it would merge with his sacred gear when he achieved Balance Breaker for his White Tiger mode.
"Issei!" Masaru was attracted by the noise of everyone who gathered around the sleeping Issei, when he unconsciously scanned him his face became stern.
"Sigh..." Vali said nothing as he crossed his arms, he was not certain how to feel since he too sensed the same thing Masaru did when they used magic to investigate Issei.
"urg..." Issei who was unconscious slowly began to wake up, when he realized he was surrounded by everyone he was surprised.
"Good job defeating your enemy," Masaru said to Issei who nervously chuckled while scratching the back of his head,
"Asia!?" Issei who chuckled noticed Asia who was being held preciously by Xenovia, the two of them began to cry when Asia regained her consciousness looking at them anxiously wondering why they were crying for her.
"Issei... Do you want to defeat me?" Vali asked Issei with a smile,
"Yes, however, I have others I want to defeat like Saji, Yuuto, Sairaorg and my sensei Masaru" Issei muttered while looking at Vali confidently,
"Heh, it appears the current two heavenly dragon hosts have dreams other than their fated battle," Vali said as he chuckled,
Crack!
Crack Crack!
Suddenly high the skies, space raptured revealing a gigantic red dragon flying across the skies as if nothing below it could interest it one bit.
"It's been a while, great Red" Ophis said as she appeared out of thin air,
"Ophis..." Masaru muttered as he glanced at the young girl, he was not sure why but he just could not take her as a threat.
"I will get my hands on it someday, my silence" She muttered before glancing at Masaru with interest.
"My dream is to become the true White Dragon Emperor. And to accomplish that" Vali spoke to Issei while stretching his hand towards Great Red before clenching it, "I have to defeat Great Red, the white can't be below the red after all" He said with a smirk.
Vali nodded before turning around to leave, "You have any information of Qlippoth" Masaru whispered,
"None, even I am investigating them. Although the only information I have of them, is the dragon burial sites we investigated in the search for an opponent to face" Vali muttered before he left together with his team and Ophis.
"Was that Ophis!? The Ouroboros Dragon!?" Rias asked in surprise, Masaru nodded while Kuroka gave him a kiss on the cheek before she too left.
"Yes" Masaru said before glancing at the space rapture Great Red caused to leave the dimension, 'This world sure is much more interesting compared to the bits of memories I have of it' he thought
>\/<
"Shalba has been killed by Issei" Sirzech began to give his report
Masaru felt strange when he heard Sirzech confirm it so soon, he knew the Hero Faction was a part of this campaign so Shalba dying so easily is really too mysterious.
However, he did not voice his doubts as it was, in fact, Issei who activated his Juggernaut Drive to achieve this.
Masaru already gained research reports about this from Azazel including the information he managed to gain on his own when he was involved in the incident. With it in hand, he intends to create such a mode for his own Sacred Gear, he just needs to read the report and come up with a few hypotheses first then start the experiment on himself.
"As some of you are aware, Masaru was our secret Agent who infiltrated the Khaos Brigade. The mission with the Shinto Gods and Norse was his doing, however, please note that the damage reports would have been catastrophic if he did not step in to deal with it instead" Sirzech explained everything to the surrounding leaders without hiding anything.
The surrounding leaders did not complain nor say anything out of the ordinary, seeing this Sirzech continued.
"Next up, we have arranged for Odin to tour around Japan after he openly declares trading with the Gods of Japan in order to pull Loki out from his hiding, Masaru and Barakiel will be with him during this time, I may also have my sister and Sona join in this event since Odin intends to tour through Kuoh Town"
Masaru leaned backwards on his chair since they were holding a conference in a big venue with all the decision-makers,
'I wonder what I should do about the mission in China, so far I can only leave the Vampires alone for now till Cicily contacts me. Not to mention I have Loki to deal with.' Masaru filled his head with things he still needed to do but every time something else pops up.
'I also heard of Cannibals that appeared, apparently, Angelica believes they are a threat yet these devils don't care about it' Masaru thought, he sighed before thinking maybe he should send his girls to investigate the Cannibals on their own, since he will have to investigate China in the future.
>\/<
After the meeting, Sirzech contacted Masaru into his office where the rest of the Devil Kings and Azazel was taking their seats, "First let me congratulate you that Jeanne, Angelica, Stephani, Sakura and Ulrika will all be promoted to Mid Rank, so I hope you can arrange for them to prepare themselves"
Masaru nodded sending off a note to his mother before taking his seat, Sirzech smiled wryly "You look like your expecting it instead of a surprise"
Masaru chuckled while acting surprise although he was expecting it since those Council men were feeling worried, the fame and influence of Masaru and his peerage were rocketing due to Rumours of Masaru's exploits keep circulating throughout the masses "I am surprised but I knew my girls will never let me down, because I have more faith in them than anyone else"
Sirzech nodded but then turned serious, "Why have you not told us about Incinerate Anthem?"
Masaru too became seriously while leaning back on the couch no longer feeling too carefree as this was indeed a serious topic, "Because the one who would have taken it if I did not arrive in time would be Qlippoth, them having it will be far worse compared to the Old Satan Faction. And second, I doubt there is anyone else who can control and protect the Longinus"
Sirzech and the rest face cramped a bit as this was an organisation they have been investigating for a while now, however, they were floored by his second reason.
"The other reason is that it will be beneficial for the Alliance to gather the Longinus, Although I have taken this for myself if there is anyone who wishes to complain just send them to me. Just add a note, they better prepare to die when they do come" Masaru said with a stern face
"*cough* I don't think anyone would care, I just hope you can notify us ahead of time in the future" Sirzech said with a wry smile,
"Sure no problem. I just made the choice on the dot since we are forced to fight a war to have peace. We need all the strength and power we can get to keep the worlds stable"
"What proof can you give us that you will not betray?" Michael asked Masaru knew these people were questioning him on behalf of the other factions who wanted to confirm his intent before they joined.
"Will you harm my family?" Masaru asked,
Hearing this question they all began to chuckle, however, their eyes aren't.
Masaru continued nonchalantly "As long as no one harms my family I will not become an enemy, but if harm does come I will investigate it thoroughly before eliminating the suspect with my own hands even if it is someone in the Alliance, but even if I say this it will not happen because I know the people of the alliance care for peace as much as I do anyway"
"However, if there is a millionth chance that it is an alliance member. Depending on the status, I might also include their entire faction in my revenge" Masaru said with a cold voice, he glanced at each of them before shifting to a bright smile.
When the questioning was over Masaru enjoyed talking with the leaders before heading back home. The leaders were not offended by Masaru's words, however, they understood that his family was his reverse scale. Not something that should be carelessly touched.
>\/<
That night Masaru once again made food for his family since his father, grandparents and great-grandfather came to visit. Damian looked at Ulrika and Roygun caressing his chin, "Daughter, tell me is it true that girls with wider hips give birth to plenty children?"
Calfa who heard this elbowed Damian's stomach causing the poor old man to crumble down while Ulrika and Roygun were blushing, it was their first time meeting Damian since he was normally meeting with the other Elders.
Calfa smiled warmly before pulling the two ladies with her, she gave Damian a glare "If you dare tease my granddaughters I will beat you up"
Calfa snorted but Ulrika and Roygun felt happy they were accepted in the family despite being older than Masaru.
"*Cough Cough* It was only a question! But welcome to the family, it may be small but our hearts are BIG!" Damian said as everyone cheered, no one questioned his emphasis on the word "Big"
Diehauser was quiet tonight while he was looking at Diana quite sternly, even Masaru who was next to him tapped his father's shoulder "What's the matter father?"
Whether it was unconscious or he simply said it without thinking but "Well she is pregnant"
Hearing this the entire house became eerily silent, even Diana flinched at how fast her husband sold her out to her own son, she blushed. Calfa came with lightning speed to Diana taking her hand extra careful, "I-Is that true!?"
Diana who saw the eyes of her mother-in-law blushed before nodding shyly, this display blew Masaru and the rest almost away as this was not normally how Masaru's mother would act.
"I'm going to become a grandmother again!" Calfa screamed joyfully while her husband came to hug her tightly.
"And I'm going to become a grandfather again too!" Dominic said as he hugged Calfa happily.
Diehauser only coughed softly before walking over to pull Diana over to sit down since it was exposed she could no longer strain herself, this was their agreement that once she is exposed she had to be obedient.
Since she could not do many chores, it was up to Masaru. So he went to the kitchen to complete her work, the girls were even happier while talking to Diana about how it feels, even Diehauser was pushed away from his wife by his daughters but he did not mind it, in fact he felt happy since his daughters-in-law really cared about his wife.
Damian nodded, "It was about time, I almost thought my grandson will become a hermit"
Diehauser who heard his grandfather's comment almost collapsed at how his grandfather was viewing him.
"Mom, from now on you can no longer cook" Akeno spoke sternly but Diana could feel the traces of her happiness and care so she nodded,
Ingvild said with a bright smile "We girls have been eating in the house so we will be cooking from now on"
"Hoho! It's time to enjoy the homecooked meal of our granddaughters-in-aw" Dominic said with a smile,
"It sure would bring some new flavours to try out their cooking" Damian nodded,
"Fufu, the men sure are energetic," Shuri said while laughing, ever since she stayed at the Belial family she had moved her home here where she stays whenever Baraqiel was off on a mission since it was a safe location for her.
"I hope these girls won't become too enthusiastic" Carla said before holding her mouth as a slip of tongue,
"..." Dominic
"..." Diana
"..." Diehauser
"Don't compromise, condomise!" Damian said with a loud voice before he was taken down by Calfa's Royal Punch.
When the family heard that Masaru's wives were all preparing to cook instead caused them to laugh happily, just as Masaru was responsible so was his girls.
"How long has it been?" Dominic asked his daughter,
Diana smiled "Almost two months"
A Smile form on Diehauser's lips while he gazes at his wife, Dominic felt everything was simply to perfect to the point he felt the need to increase security around everyone.
>\/<
Next morning Masaru and his team were excused from School since they were heading off to the Belial Stadium that was recently completed in his territory where his match against Seekvaira would be held.
When Masaru came to the conference room he saw Seekvaira was wearing her custom battle suit waving at him, Masaru waved back while he came closer. "Is it true you pulled Roygun into your team?"
Masaru did not bother hiding it, he chuckled before nodding "Yes"
Seekvaira raised her brow wondering if she should ask the next question but Masaru nodded to answer it instantly, she pouted a bit.
Seeing her girlish act, Masaru smiled mysteriously before asking"Are you interested in me?"
Hearing this Seekvaira blushed a bit before shaking her head, Masaru smiled gently, if it was him in the past he might not have spotted it but he did.
"I will wait till your ready" Masaru spoke softly causing Seekvaira to feel an electric current run throughout her body was she watch Masaru take his seat together with his peerage.
Soon the time for the reporters came to enter, the flashing of Cameras did not stop for a moment as most of them were focused on Masaru and his peerage especially Roygun who was former #2.
When the go-ahead was given the first reporter stood up, "Sir Belial, I would like to know what is your relationship with Miss Belphegor?"
Masaru leaned forward towards the mic, "She is now a pawn of my peerage, and as for my relationship with her. It is the same as the others, I will, of course, visit her family in due time"
This caused an uproar as the reporters were scribbling down notes of what just happened, the next reporter "Are you aware of her scandal related to the King Piece?"
Masaru chuckled before looking at the reporter, "I would rather ask if there is a perfect clean person in this world? We all have our skeletons in our closet, no matter how big or small they are. As for your question, Yes I know and I took her while knowing so. Because I understand her situation better than anyone"
Roygun felt her heart was melting and her body was urging her to just have Masaru hold her in his embrace, he stood up for her in front of the Reporters which was similar to him saying to the world she was his.
The rest of the peerage girls were all smiling too, they did not feel jealous as each of them knew for a long time that Masaru would do the same for them. Soon the questions came to how each team felt, especially questions towards Masaru's peerage was quite numerous.
Masaru could only smile wryly at how famous his girls are even without his name, they are truly amazing individually.
"I hope you can show me your strongest attack" Seekvaira spoke confidently towards Masaru in front of the reporters, she knew based on power alone she is no match for him but in strategies, she could still challenge him.
Masaru smirked, "I will accept your challenge, I hope you will not regret it"
