Chapter 213: A cat is a naughty creature
Artificial Sacred Gear.
This was probably the best thing that Azazel had created and achieved in his life.
Masa, who did research on the Sacred Gear, also understood how amazing Azazel's feat was. Yes, he might be able to create the Sacred Gear, but it was by using the Baku Baku no Mi by swallowing a living being and a certain item and combining it into one, and by the knowledge of the Devil Fruit from the world of One Piece.
Still, if there was a reason why the research of the Devil Fruit in the world of One Piece was more advanced than the research of the Sacred Gear in the world of DxD, Masa knew the answer, and that answer was it was because the existence similar to a Vegapunk didn't exist.
Unlike Vegapunk, who even made his own clones so he could focus on his research, Azazel was a fallen angel, so it was impossible for him to give all of his time to the research.
More importantly, Vapapunk is a human.
While it might seem weird, Masa also understood why humans were an amazing species. The time of humans was limited, and they weren't immortal like him, who was a devil, so during those moments, they tried to show their sparks in their lives.
On the other hand, the devil had almost unlimited time, so they had a lot of free time, and even if they were lazy and slept for hundreds of years, it didn't really matter, so they didn't use their time well, and their thought toward the time was different from a human.
However, unlike the old generation, the new generations of supernatural beings had their thoughts affected by humans, so they worked hard toward their ambitions with their might if they discovered their interests.
This was also the reason why Azazel, who was older, wasn't as good as one of the Four Great Satans, Ajuka Beelzebub, who could even create an Evil Piece, a tool that allowed another creature to become a reincarnated devil.
Masa was the same as he had been working hard to become stronger.
Yet, at the same time, similar to a vile being, whether it was a fallen angel, a devil, or even a human, while some of them were exceptional, the majority of them were shitty.
No one is perfect, and frankly, the word "perfect" is also such an abstract subject as the definition of perfect is different for everyone. It is different from a human or a bird, which everyone, no matter what their race is, can describe.
Still, Masa didn't feel regret about devouring Azazel, especially when it was hard for him to trust this guy.
Unlike the original protagonist, who only thinks by using his lower body, as long as someone is gentle with him, he doesn't think of anything.
However, Masa knew that he couldn't treat Azazel in such a way, especially unlike Issei, who was just a normal human in the past. Masa was a pure-blood devil, which made him and Azazel feel a sense of disgust for each other despite the fact that they didn't know each other in the beginning. The fact that their races had been fighting from the time of the creation of humans also made his suspicion toward Azazel hard to erase.
If Masa had to be honest, he had never ever thought to kill Azazel, to begin with, but it was different when he found out the fact that Raynare, Mittlet, and Kalawarna remained silent and never exposed him even after they were tortured by Azazel.
While they called his name in the end, it was because they knew Masa could handle all the problems, so after all of that, how could they let go of Azazel?
Yes, Azazel might be an important character in the world of DxD, but so what?
Masa could even take the Boosted Gear and even kill Issei, so why should he hesitate to kill Azazel?
Or rather, it had become a unique culture of every supernatural being to kill each other, no matter how important one's role is to the world.
If Mas had to give an example, Zeus even killed his father, Kronos, before he became the King of Gods, right?
As for what would happen in the future, in the worst case, the world would be in chaos, and each of the supernatural beings would fight each other, yet Masa thought that it was fine.
Yes, Masa might not be the strongest, but even so, he was still within the Top 10, and probably, he was already above Sirzech, who was the strongest devil in this universe, but overall, his power was good enough, as he was just below Indra and Shiva.
As for the Dragon Gods, such as Ophis and the Great Red, Masa knew that it would be a long time before he was able to reach such a strength. Still, after he had killed Azazel and devoured him, what should Raynare, Mittlet, and Kalawarna do?
"...just go back?" 3x
The three fallen angels stared at Masa speechlessly, thinking that this guy was a scumbag!
After what this guy had done, tainting their bodies with his cloudy white liquid, tormenting their bodies till they took on his shape, was he going to abandon them just like that?
"Masa-sama, don't leave us!" 3x
The three clung to him tightly as their hands naughtily moved to his lower body, hoping that he would change his decision.
"Calm down. I am not going to abandon you."
"But we have nowhere to go!"
"You have."
"Where? Your place?"
"No, the fallen angel, Grigori."
"....." Raynare, Mittlet, and Kalawarna.
Kalawarna, who was the soberest, mature, and calm among the three, took a deep breath and said, "I know that my words might be presumptuous, Masa-sama, but you have killed Azazel for us, so how can we go back to the Grigori?"
"...."
Still, Masa had to say that the three were merciless as they didn't care about Azazel's life and death, but then again, as Azazel wanted to kill them before, he knew that even if Azazel was their respected leader in the past, Azazel became dead in their minds after they were tormented by Azazel.
"No, you can go back to Grigori."
"...why you are so confident, Masa-sama?" Mittlet was confused as to why Masa believed that the three could go back safely.
"Because you three are too weak."
"..." 3x
Somehow, even though they knew that it was a fact, they wanted to smack Masa with all of their powers, even if they knew how meaningless it was!
Yet, this was the fact.
The three of them were too weak, so who would think that they could kill Azazel or even get involved with someone who would kill Azazel, especially when their previous image had always made them appear to worship, respect, and love this leader of the fallen angel?
More importantly, Azazel acted on his own to catch the three, as he had never expected that Masa would come so soon.
Yet, Masa, who had gained the Wapu Wapu no Mi, could go anywhere in this universe as easily as he breathed, and of course, no one would be able to tell that he was the one who did all of this as he was a devil from the House of Vapula.
Still, even if Raynare, Mittlet, and Kalawarna returned, nothing would happen. Instead, they could go back to normal as if nothing had happened.
"In the worst case, I will just come to your side like before."
"Well, that's true..."
While Raynare's nail was pulled by Azazel, Masa quickly came and saved them, then killed Azazel instantly, so they knew that even if they met a danger, he would come to save them again, and more importantly, as Masa had said before, the three were so weak that no one would think they would be able to do anything to Azazel.
"Go back since you are more useful to me that way."
Petting Raynare's chin like a cat, which made her purr, and looking at him with misty eyes as if begging him to do something naughty to her, Masa smiled and said, "Be useful to me, and I will give you a surprise later."
"Surprised?" 3x
"Yup. Looking forward to it."
"...it's not your wonderful stick, right?"
"...it's something else."
Regardless, the four of them continued to have fun for a while until the three returned to the Grigori nervously, but knowing that Masa would come if there was a danger, they decided to believe in him, or rather, they had no choice to believe in him since if he was the only one that he could rely on, especially after the death of Azazel was related to them!
However, for a man who could even kill the leader of the fallen angels, why couldn't they trust him?
Nevertheless, when the three left, Masa looked in the distance and said, "Come out. Do you have fun to peek at me?"
"—?!"
The figure was startled, never expecting Masa to notice her, but this figure never had any intentions to meet Masa and thought to run away, but unfortunately—
"Mobius World."
The figure was pulled into a loop space as she screamed.
"Let go of me, nyaa!"
"No."
Masa answered as he looked at the young woman before him, thinking that a cat was really a naughty creature.
