Chapter 15: Choices…

~Zack POV~

*Swoosh*

Avoiding a direct stab from Neo's new weapon I made close to canon Hush with a rifle transformation I dodged another hit as Penny was observing our sparring sessions viewing the Huntsman's methods of training.

Been a few days since we returned to our humble peace of home.

Since then the news was going like crazy in an effort to try and find us it was really annoying to everything of free travel for Neo.

But hey at least we have a whole island to ourselves and I spent them with her, inventing, training, and teaching Penny some common sense as she seems to enjoy our struggles.

*Fwoosh*

*Ding*

Avoiding another attack with dodge and blocking with my swords from my backpack we have been at this for a while trying to get down the basics of using our aura in a fight or enhancing our bodies from it.

Have to hand it though it was more so the fact I was needing to prepare for this trip and increase my semblance [Machina] for the worlds ahead of me, especially the new ones I got from waiting.

Gundam is a good choice with my abilities but I don't know much of the series to go to guns blazing without some extensive info so that's a maybe.

Code Geass is also a good choice as well because of the fact that I would need at least to control their machines and GG they are done.

The Geass itself would be cool to have is a supernatural ability that certain people can bestow upon others. C.C. is the most prominent character who grants the power of Geass.

The Geass manifests differently in each individual, possibly related to their inner desires and personality.

The power of Geass increases with use, and should the user lack willpower, they may be consumed by it, which was the case with Mao. C.C. calls Geass the Power of Kings, and though she is unable to use the power herself, she is immune to the power being used on her.

In the final episode of the second season, Lelouch states that the Geass is a form of wish (referring to himself and C.C.). However, people who have Geass are not immune to the Geass effects of others. The Geass is represented by a glowing, bird-shaped symbol.

Every Geass, while powerful, has its own unique set of restrictions, limitations, or idiosyncrasies. These factors allow a Geass to be defeated, or its power limited, by someone who is aware of its characteristics.

Not going to lie it does sound tempting…

BUT!

I don't want to face their so-called thought entity named GOD for it though.

The Gods is one of the many and most commonly used terms for C's World, a collection of human consciousness living and dead and supposedly where people go after death, throughout the Code Geass Universe.

The world is visually represented in many ways at different points, though all are consistent.

Common images are children with the Geass symbol on their foreheads, two round planet-like objects with round runes being connected by light, white masks with red circular runes with one eye, feathers, a broken pendulum clock, a cloud of skulls or faces that appear to be in agony, aimlessly wandering black humanoid figures, and a planet-like orb that looks similar to Jupiter.

As a setting, it is shown as a blank white space, an area of endless sky and rippling reflective solid but water-like ground, as a platform underneath the Jupiter-like sphere (or a black and grey sun-like structure when corrupted).

Due to their belief that humans are by nature unequal and this cannot be fixed any other way, Charles zi Britannia, Marianne vi Britannia, C.C. and V.V. formed a contract with each other to activate the Ragnarök Connection via the Sword of Akasha to destroy the Gods.

Because yeah that would surely work that the same GOD that gave you the Geass would EVER let itself be CONTROLLED by humans would NEVER get betrayed?

See that shit there is a reason why I won't get a Geass as that would invite the GOD to look in my head.

Yeah never make deals with beings that can screw you over or unless you have equal trade.

But High School DxD on the other hand I'm kind of on the fence for that one.

The main reason why is simple.

For the Sacred Gears those devious but highly tempted devices for me to get but not at the same time.

Sacred Gears, also known as God's Artifacts, are items with powerful abilities bestowed upon humans by God of the Bible. They are one of the main points of interest in the High School DxD that anyone would want them.

The original God of the Bible created the Sacred Gears as part of his system to enact miracles on Earth.

Only certain individuals with Sacred Gears have grown to become very powerful and influential and a large number of the people who've had their names etched into history, were most likely Sacred Gear possessors.

It is possible for a person to own more than one Sacred Gear at the same time.

However, this almost always happens because the individual comes to a second or even more Sacred Gear through irregular circumstances than through birth.

Honestly with the RWBY technology to harbor and contain souls getting the materials needed for Sacred Gear hunting but then I come to one problem.

The fucking God System or Sacred Gear System if anyone cares.

God of the Bible (was the original leader of the Angels, who died in the Great War and the main pillar of the Three Factions.

He is the creator of the Holy System that controls blessed items that causes harm to Devils, provides miracles, and determines those who can be saved. More so, he created the Sacred Gear System, which provides Humans (or half-humans) with special powers, as well as the original Thirteen Longinus, which holds the potential to slay gods.

But if something wrong happens to the Sacred Gears that system will notify them about it which makes my efforts of exploiting the users very hard to hide and very much expose myself to the danger.

Why do Gods have to ruin all my planning and scheming when I need something right away… life ain't fair with them around?

Plus I was hoping to go in during the Vampire part when Gasper and Valerie Tepes their names or whatever are kids and can be convinced.

But then again I would piss off a whole entire Vampire Community if I kidnapped the two… actually maybe Gasper might want to come along to get away from the isolation and abuse from his own race.

Or I could go after Cao Cao when his a kid and take him to take away the very powerful and first True Longinus.

The True Longinus, also known as the Holy Spear of the Setting Sun, the Spear of Destiny and the Spear/Lance of Longinus, is the first and most powerful Longinus and the same spear which St. Longinus used to stab Jesus Christ.

Just having that baby alone makes it worth all the trouble ripping it off from Cao Cao as a kid and taking it because of the amount of Bullshit Power it has making even the most powerful people in that world tremble in its wake.

No seriously it's that OP for a weapon.

The True Longinus can also create blades made up of holy power, which is powerful enough to vaporize both High-class and even Ultimate-class Devils with relative ease. In addition to this, it can release torrents of pure light from a distance causing massive destruction on impact.

Befitting both a high-tier Longinus and the strongest Longinus, it has the potential to destroy the world.

"And done! Good work you two!"

Stopping as Penny called us to stop she came over and got us our stuff along with some water as she spoke to me, "Hey Zack! Glad to see you two are doing well after what happened to Ozpin and all. The Training has been going splendid for the two of you as I made a data chart showing your growth rates! Here look at the hologram screen."

*Click*

Clicking onto the screen I see that Penny made the chart to see how far we have grown as I have to admit I was glad to see I'm improving.

"Hmm… Still better than you Zack. Or is it Techno? Hmm?"

Hearing Neo speak through the voice modifier I invited for her to speak what is on her thoughts out loud certainly helps out understanding her.

But I couldn't help but playfully twitch my lips at that as I replied to her, "Tch. At least I'm going swimmingly well… shorty…"

*Swoosh*

Avoiding at a weapon being thrown as Neo playfully twitches her lips as she tries to be innocent with her efforts, "Whoops? I 'accidentally' slip my hand, Zack. My bad."

Yeah…

This is normal mocking or throwing stuff at each other after mocking one another…

Young love really.

*Thud*

*Thud*

Glancing around I see the Penny model droids are at the ready as I created a literal platoon of Penny models controlled by Penny's original A.I. at the ready when I had time to spare.

I needed a force of my own and why not cute robot girls?

Like the idea of the battle maids from Overlord but more mechanical form and humanoid forms for me to enjoy as they are all equipped with the same things as Penny but are lacking souls but Penny can hijack a body and take control.

At least I have to be prepared for the worst.

Since that's done so far I think I should choose a world that would help me out get some power-ups that are worth the risk.

Not sure how strong the Vampires are or the Supernatural but if I can equip the Penny robots with Sacred Gears I would have a literal army of them at the ready but the issue is it worth it to risk it all…

…

No not like this at least…

That's the arrogance talking right now and I don't need that since I almost made a fatal mistake when Ozpin appeared was not ready like this at least…

I know my odds and I know when to call them and being greedy for gears ain't one of them.

While the Aura from RWBY is good and all I'm going to need is something to upgrade everyone physically to the best to their abilities…

Technology I can upgrade whenever but physical boost and magical know how I lack and going in guns blazing into one of those fields without any info would be a bad idea…

Guess it's time to meet with the Witch of Greed to tell me how to recreate artificial souls so I can implant them into my P.E.N.N.Y. models so that they can carry their own semblances and learn magic in the process.

Time to meet Echidna in Re: Zero.

----

A/N: Now I know most of the people wanted DxD but the MC is being realistic and cautious of his choices and going there like he was original will kill him.

And lacking against Magic is one of the downsides of DxD so he wants to learn how to create artificial spirits from Echidna as she did with Beatrice to create his own forces that will obey and get scared gears in the future.
