Inside his workshop, Issei was busily hammering parts for sacred gear that he planned to wield. He had countless years to explore weapon smiths since Issei had few weapon that helped him in fighting but most of them broke. The last weapon Issei was powerful swords capable of slicing through countless planets in single swing. Though, it broke from the last confrontation with the outer gods.
Currently he was intently imbuing the weapon with his newly acquired faith from the throne of god. He only acquire fraction of the faith accumulated but it was multiplied due his [Hope]. It was another part which make his Guidance.
"Hey Issei why don't you eat up? If you don't then I'll finish it myself."
Issei paused then turn to a short blond haired woman giving sweet smile while carrying stray of snacks and being followed by another short haired blonde wearing a Miko clothes curiosity looking at Issei works. He gave welcoming smile while putting down the tools.
"Hey Issei! How's the sacred gear your working on?"(Kunou)
"Hey Kunou, Valerie. It's going smoothly and won't be long that I can test it out."
Issei gesture for them to sit down where their isn't wasted materials or failed sacred gears. Creating sacred gears or any divine artifacts needed time which the reason why despite his skill still have failed result. Most of them are ordinary sacred gear which Issei isn't aiming for.
He wanted sacred gear that can perfect balance breaker and if lucky a new Longinus such [Ayin]. Issei was tempering with Sona Sacred gear which was rapier that control water and ices. It has two balance breaker one was much stable that focuses in water manipulation but the other is Ice manipulation is much difficult to control.
It was needed more adjustment to avoid freezing allies in the process. The ice manipulation can freeze anything be it energy blast or physical pressure even Rias Destruction would be frozen. Even Dulio's zenith tempest wouldn't be able to replicate how cold her ice manipulation. Meanwhile the other sacred gears only need minor adjustments.
"What kind of weapon are you creating?"(Kunou)
"I'm making sword that is capable of becoming scythe. It would allow me to easily used the Death aura inside the material I got."
"Oh that's quite amazing, Issei-san. I can't wait for you finish it."(Valerie)
"Hehehe thanks. Oh this is good~!"
Issei took a bite on the hamburger brought by Valerie. Few minute went by finishing the snack and having short conversation Issei return on making weapon. He focus placing the pieces together while carefully placing enchantment and runes to further establish the sacred system.
["You are doing great master! This weapon is much better than [Ayin] in close ranges and mid range."]
"Sariel? How've you been? Anything happening in heaven?"
["We are currently strenghten heavens system and performing mircles. Thanks to your 'Guidance' we are able to further stablish connection with the world."]
"Guidances? Can you tell me about it? Its been bugging me the last time the old man said it!?"
["Unfortunately, I cannot but the least I can say is that only those born mortal can be a Guider. That's the best I can tell you."]
"Born mortal? I see thank you. Oh right is Gabriel, Ciel and Celestiel getting along?"
["Hahaha well they are busy talking about you. Don't worry they'll soon come to you but they are busy helping you on this side."]
"Well tell them to take a rest time to time."
["You're one to talk, Nii-san."]
"Altariel? Is heaven starting to get annoyed at you?"
["What is that supposed to mean, nii-san!?"]
"Hehehe I'm just teasing you."
["Hmph I'm just here to tell you that nee-san want you make the magical wand already."]
"Oh right, I was already finish making the blue print."
["Alright master me and little brother shall take our leave. I hope you succeed in making a powerful sacred gear."]
Issei gave a nod then resumed his work. He assembled the parts gradually forming the weapon in his mind. The weapon glowed in miasmic containing a small roar as Issei right arms glowed turning pitch black with red veins running through his arm.
He felt something trying to get inside his mind but scuff it off blasting it with his immense aura causing it whimper in fear. Issei arms was pure black then grew in size and length. He felt that his right arm has the ability to devour soul and manipulate it.
'Not bad. I didn't expect to have a extra sacred gear in the process.'
He senses a lifeform inside his right arm similar to a dragon and thought about how Kokabiel had turn into dragon type monster. This was the sources of it.
"I'll call you [Azure Grimoire] while you as [Blood scythe]"
Within Issei had was enormous blade with black and red handle. It suddenly extend forming red energy blade appearing as scythe. He nodded at the result of the weapon as it grew stronger the more corrupt soul it consumed which means dark apostle.
"Next is Magical girl want for Serafall! I think she'll love it!"
Placing the weapon on his pocket dimension, Issei began to make magical wand for Serafall. The blueprint for the wand consists of a yellow star in a ring that has two small red bead with six white wings while the size of each wing is smaller than the one above it, and a red retractable handle that has a white top with a gold color cross at the bottom.
Issei prepared the materials then engrossed himself once again in the sacred gear. It took him long than the last sacred gear but the result was definitely better. The wand was capable of providing unlimited man on the sacred gear due to applying [Infinity].
He couldn't used as it was intended for woman deciding to store it as well in his pocket dimension. Issei stretch his body feeling stiff after working for several days inside his workshop. It was convenient that time dilution didn't hinder the process unlike before.
Issei then sense someone familiar then grinned teleporting behind where the person was grinning.
"Boo!"
"Eeekk!!"
A young woman screamed while Issei laugh out loud seeing the beautiful young girl with dark blue eyes and long blonde hair tied into twintails with large, drill-like curls and blue ribbons keeping them in place. The front of her hair has several bangs hanging over her forehead, with a V-shaped fringe hanging over the bridge of her nose.
"Issei why did you scare me like that!?"
"Hehehe sorry sorry alright stop hitting me."
She pouted then felt her body being hugged by Issei who was whisper 'I'm sorry' over and over again. He stared at her eyes then gave light kiss on the lips.
"I'm sorry for not meeting you soon."
"You don't need to apologies, I can already see you've working hard but…why do you look like that? You look more…attractive?"
"You like it? Well I did mention a few things but how about we get inside?"
After getting Inside they were welcome by the rest of the girls. Asia and the Church girls went with Katase, Murayama and Aika to have fun. Issei wasn't worried since he had place powerful spells that teleport him instantly if something happened.
"How've been Ravel?"(Rias)
"I've been well Rias-san. Though it was difficult to explain what happened to my parent since the situation is bizarre. I barely remember my brother?"(Ravel)
"Alright, I explained about it with Diablo but it was better than become mere play thing by those creature."
"Understand and I can't really feel grieve seen my emotion towards is gone."
"As for my new looks well…."
Issei produce a phoenix flame which was deep black miasmic red fire but Ravel instantly knew what it was. He began to explain what happened since Issei didn't covey it with Diablo as it was better in person.
"Amazing! As expected of Issei getting more stronger than before."
"Thank you. Now that's done why don't I help you unpack?"
Ravel nodded as Issei led her to the room where she'll be living from now on. She was surprised how the place had change despite having the same appearance as the last timeline.
Issei inform her about the library which made her curious what inside the place. She question about the maid and shocked to find out they are Automata that Issei with the help of Azazel had made.
"Now that's done anything you nee-"
Issei suddenly felt his body being pinned down on the bed and saw ravel lust in her eyes. He grinned knowing what it meant.
"Hey now little birdie."
