Sirzech, Michael, and Azazel. 

Those were the three respective leaders of Sirzech, Michael, and Azazel. 

Nevertheless, it didn't mean that their strength matched each other. Among the three, Sirzech was the strongest, but Michael and Azazel had more experience as they had been living at the time of the beginning together with the God of the Bible. 

Yet, even so, it was Azazel's first time seeing this type of ability. 

"What kind of ability is this?!" 

Azazel was trying to find an escape, blasting everything around him, but somehow, all the attacks that he had sent, whether it was the spear of light or the beam created from his weapon, were all absorbed by something and then disappeared. Even if he tried to use all of his power, everything was meaningless, as if it had never existed. 

This was dangerous, he thought, and he thought about running away, yet it was the same as when he tried to attack this place as if it had no escape, and whenever he tried to run, he would return to the original spot as if he was inside a loop like how a hamster that could only stay inside the wheel.

"Loop?" 

So, Azazel stopped to attack or run away as he tried to uncover the mystery behind this place. 

Was this an illusion? 

Or was it a unique space created by Masa? 

Still, the worst part was that Azazel couldn't call for help, which made this situation dire. While as a leader, he might not be the most powerful, he wasn't alone, and he had a lot of comrades and followers by his side, so even if he wasn't the most powerful, it didn't mean the others could bully him. 

Yet, even so, at this moment, Azazel realized what kind of horrible situation he was in. Not only was his power meaningless, he couldn't run away, and he couldn't even call for help. More importantly, he wasn't even sure what had happened to him. 

'But, is this really Masa Vapula?' 

It was impossible for Azazel not to know about Masa, especially about Masa's feat of stopping the user of the Boosted Gear that had gone on a rampage in the Underworld. More importantly, as the only devil of the House of Vapula that could transform himself and had a power that was comparable to a Satan Class, it was impossible to ignore him, considering his youth and all. 

The current relationship between the devil and the fallen angel was that of an enemy. 

While they hadn't fought for a while and were in a state of recuperating, with the hatred and enmity that they felt for each other, it was only a time before they started another war. 

Unexpectedly, Masa, who had a fiancee, had an affair with Raynare, Mittlet, and Kalawarna. 

Somehow... Azazel felt that he was under the misunderstanding, thinking that everything was related to that organization. 

Yes, he misunderstood. 

Probably, Kokabiel met Masa; then, he was killed by this young devil. 

As for the three female fallen angels, the three of them happened to be beautiful, and because they were also of a different race from him, it made him excited and made him take them as his women. 

"Hm...." 

Azazel rubbed his chin helplessly and thought that he had messed up. 

"I did mess up..." 

Yet, everything was too late, especially when Azazel had hurt Masa's woman. "...can he forgive me with more beautiful fallen angels?" If he could save his life by giving many beautiful fallen angels to Masa, then why should he hesitate? 

Masa was such a lustful guy, and this could be used as his weakness. 

Those women could also become a great information source for Azazel, as they could tell him what Masa had done, especially with how dangerous Masa was. 

'And...' 

What was the source of Masa's power? 

Masa was a devil from the House of Vapula, a devil whose ability was to manipulate a lion. While he could also control all types of feline species, it didn't explain how Masa could create this space, which could trap him inside this loop space. 

"Is this a Longinus?" 

Among all 13 Longinus, Azazel knew that one of them had the ability to manipulate space, so he thought that it was Longinus. 

"Did he rob it from the user?" 

Unlike the others, Azazel had been researching the Sacred Gear as he knew well how dangerous it was. Frankly, he even wondered why the God, his father, tried to create this, and he also felt a wonder as he was amazed by him, who could create this weapon that could even kill a god, yet this was also the reason why he knew well how dangerous it was for a devil, like Masa, to hold this weapon. 

'If the devil becomes even stronger...' 

No matter how much Azazel wished to change, he knew that the hatred between fallen angels and devils couldn't be erased, especially with many of their family, lovers, friends, and all of their loved ones being killed. 

Each of them wished to avenge and had revenge. 

Some just wanted to have a war as they couldn't be satisfied with the peace, like Kokabiel. 

Unlike the devils, who had a reincarnated devil, and the angels, who had many believers, the fallen angels were at a disadvantage due to their lower numbers, so Azazel had been trying to compensate for it by taking the lack of power by the users of the Sacred Gear, who had been abandoned, thrown out, or even isolated, giving them hope, so they could become part of their powers. 

At the same time, Azazel could also use all of them as research, hoping to create a similar power to increase the power of the fallen angels. 

Yet, if the devil was above all of them, then... was peace even possible? 

If their position was similar, then it was all okay, but if one of them had the upper hand, why should they make peace? 

However, Azazel had a trump card, information that allowed him to gain peace for all the three races, yet even so, it was impossible for Longinus to be held by Masa. 

'Let's make peace first.' 

When Masa came out, Azazel thought to persuade him, telling him about peace and its benefits, before he talked about the problem of Longinus to the other leaders, then tried to take it, thinking that it was too dangerous to be held by Masa. 

Now, why did Azazel confidently think that he could control Masa? 

It was because Masa was young and could be controlled by those three bitches, so Azazel thought that it should be easy to talk to Masa, yet unfortunately, all of a sudden, darkness emerged from the space and swallowed everything. 

"Huh!? Wait a moment! Wait a moment! Are you going to just kill me like this?! Hey, how about we talk? Oh, right, I have a lot of information, whether it is the terrorist organization that is trying to bring the world to chaos and ruin!" 

After Azazel shouted, he thought that the darkness that tried to swallow him would stop, but it didn't! 

"Stop! Please stop! Do you not care about the safety of your family and everyone else?! This information is important!" 

Azazel was panicked and frightened, especially when he could no longer use his power in this darkness. His abilities couldn't be activated, and his energy was drained crazily. 'Dammit!' While he didn't want to do this, he knew that he had to, or else he would die! 

As Azazel tried to fight, escaping from the darkness that tightly wrapped around his body, pulling him into the bottomless abyss, he screamed with all of his might, "What about the Sacred Gear? I have created an Artificial Sacred Gear! This armor is the Artificial Sacred Gear! I will tell you everything about it! You want it, right? You can make your family powerful! Oi—"

Burp! 

Swallowing Azazel whole, Masa closed his eyes, thinking that it was a good thing to do, especially after he knew how vile and crafty this guy was. 

Regardless, he got a good knowledge. 

"Artificial Sacred Gear..."
