My Power is Upgrading Everything (Rewrite)

Chapter 92: Annoyance and Confession

--- Chapter 92 ---

Dragon Nest's Compound.

After telling everyone what happened when he was inside the sealed room and introducing Qianye Ying'er as his fiance, Huo Yuhao sat in the room with two devils and the leader of the fallen angels.

"Why the long face, Grayfia?" Huo Yuhao smiled at the famously known Silver-Haired Guardian.

Grayfia glanced at the young woman beside Huo Yuhao and asked, "Is she really your fiance?"

Qianye Ying'er smiled because she could feel jealousy coming from Grayfia's heart. Having eyes that could see someone's desires is so convenient in this kind of situation, which caused her to giggle in amusement.

'Let's see... She's not bad. That appearance is 7.9/10, and with a gentle yet firm heart, this woman is definitely suitable to become Yunlong's good little maid.' The young woman thought while observing Grayfia Lucifuge inside out. She even expected Huo Yun'er to agree because such a fine servant is rare nowadays. Not to mention Dragon Nest would conquer this world sooner or later.

She giggled and showed the silver-haired devil her engagement ring, "Too bad for you because I'm legit his fiance."

Huo Yuhao obviously noticed that Qianye Ying'er wanted to test Grayfia Lucifuge's character. He sighed inside because the blonde would convert one of the current most prominent devils into her cult's followers. And it was too late to prevent it.

Once Qianye Ying'er focused on something, that person would be on her watchlist. "Says Grayfia-San. What's your motive for chasing over my fiance?" She asked casually.

"I don't know what you're talking about?" Grayfia was caught off guard but acted cool outside. However, she forgets to hide her nervous clenched hands.

"Is that so? What a shame." Qianye Ying'er giggled while resting her head on Huo Yuhao's shoulder. She was having fun teasing this rigid-looking woman.

The males stared at each other, shaking their heads helplessly because women were still mysterious creatures no matter how old they were. This statement was proven true throughout history.

While the gold and silver individuals are glaring at each other, Huo Yuhao calmly listens to Ajuka and Asazel's questions regarding Dragon Nest's policy and benefits, like what they could obtain from agreeing with his offer. After all, achieving a higher realm is vague to them because the higher place in this world is heaven or other gods' realms like Asgard and Olympus.

"Before that, I have to ask this." Azazel suddenly stopped.

"Are you part of Chinese Mythology?"

Huo Yuhao laughed because Azazel's question was hilarious. After all, Douluo Dalu's Universe could be considered Xianxia based on the Chinese Novel's standards. It's technically part of the mythology, but he doesn't think so because everything has branched too much outside reality.

"No, I'm not." He answered while shaking his head. "You'll understand later when every major faction receives my offer."

"I'll tell you my origin at the correct time."

Azazel couldn't believe this guy and rolled his eyes, "Again, with that mysteriousness... Do you think this is Xianxia's drama?"

"Kinda." Huo Yuhao smirked a little.

"Anyway... Yuhao-Dono, Can I see your World-Slashing Saber?" Ajuka suddenly changed the topic, which caused Huo Yuhao to raise his brow a little because this man had been asking curious-filled questions for the past hour.

"World-Slashing Saber? Ah, you mean Stella." Huo Yuhao was confused for a second and connected the dots because he hadn't told anyone about his weapon, so people could only assume things.

He took out the Star Quaking Saber from inventory, which caused the room's mood to become heavier because the blade had slayed numerous beings in the Great War. Even Azazel trembled upon seeing the bewitched saber that slashed some of his comrades in the past. Fallen Angels are lucky compared to other factions because they distanced themselves from Huo Yuhao at that moment.

"Ara, what a nice weapon." Qianye Ying'er commented while looking at the clean black blades slowly getting off the Starless Saber Sheath. "Did you create another weapon when I was at the Vatican?"

"Well, Something like that." Huo Yuhao nodded casually, which caused the two devils and the Governor General of Grigori to frown. Now that Azazel thinks about it, Huo Yuhao did draw a fresh blade out of smithery when fighting everyone in the Great War.

'Don't tell me he could create Divine Weapon out of spite? That's utterly broken. What the fuck!' Azazel was mind blown because even Biblical God needs a few days to months to create Sacred Gears.

Ajuka's eyes shone brightly as he excitedly analyzed the blade, "What a breathtaking weapon. One can't obtain such hardness and sharpness with the normal method!"

"Can I inspect it further personally-! Hiss, so sharp." He tried to look at the blade closer and felt intense energy cutting his skin. "I take that as a no."

Huo Yuhao shook his head and sheathed Stella back because no one should be able to use her beside him. It was custom-made to meet his overall stats and attributes, having weight similar to the Starless Saber Sheath. They could try, but the backlash would be too big.

"Oh yeah, I haven't asked this a few days ago. Why did you come here with some people from the Vatican, Ying'er?" He suddenly remembered something.

Qianye Ying'er changed her expression and weirdly replied, "The reason... It's complicated and borderline stupid."

"Two days ago, a nun was asked to fly to Japan, specifically Kuoh City, to become a part-timer in the Church. Still, I found it shady and decided to tag along because you're here too."

"Then, some stupid guys stole Excalibur from Vatican's warehouse. And the trace led us to the same location."

"Kuoh City..." Azazel solemnly thought because he didn't feel good about this conversation. Something feels off because some guys also instructed Fallen Angels to leave Kuoh City alone like someone is his attention away from this place.

"Reynare, Mittelt, Kalawarner."

"Wait, there is another guy in her group, right..."

"Dohnaseek." Huo Yuhao suddenly replied. "Raynare said there was a guy in her group, but he disappeared after killing some Sacred Gears users in Kuoh City."

"Dohnaseek..." Azazel's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Fucking Kokabiel!"

"Fuck! Fuck that crazy guy!"

Everyone was quiet when seeing Azazel's sudden outrage as he spouted so many random animal names. He breathed heavily and rubbed his temple like going through a life crisis.

"Are you okay?" Huo Yuhao threw Heart-Calming Candy at him.

"I'm not. A crazy guy who's a war fanatic from Grigori is planning something. No wonder I haven't heard anything about him in the past three months." Azazel caught the candy and chewed on it immediately.

He looked at Huo Yuhao and added, "If a fallen angel randomly appeared and started to say some bullshit, please don't believe his words. And don't associate him with Grigori because we aren't part of his plan."

"I don't want our race to become extinct because of an idiot."

Huo Yuhao shrugged and replied, "Sure."

"Thanks, Yuhao." Azazel sighed in relief. "Sorry, but I have to return first."

He created a magic circle and disappeared from the room, leaving four people in an awkward mood. Huo Yuhao whistled and called for Murong Qianxue, telling her to fortify some barrier around the Dragon Nest's Compound. This city would be chaotic in a few days if Highschool DxD's plot went on correctly.

"So, do you have more questions?" He returned his gaze to Ajuka and Grayfia.

Ajuka wanted to ask about Time Travel's topic but decided not to open his mouth because hearing things like stolen Excalibur and rogue fallen angels made him worry about something. "I have to return to the Underworld too. Thanks for answering my question, Yuhao-Dono." He lowered his head to Huo Yuhao.

"Then, see you again in a few days."

"What about you, Grayfia-chan?" Huo Yuhao playfully asked, which caused the silver-haired woman to bashfully shakes her head.

Grayfia took a deep breath and said, "Can we talk alone."

"Oh my? You're going to make your move now. How bold~!" Qianye Ying'er covered her mouth because a woman like Grayfia is easy to read. She kissed Huo Yuhao's cheek and walked to the front door.

"Then, I'll be leaving you two alone here."

"Don't worry... I won't let anyone enter this place. So you two could let out some steam~!"

"Ying'er, stop." Huo Yuhao smiled wryly. "Grayfia's face reddened like a tomato because of your teasing."

"Hehe, my bad~!" The teasing master walked out of the room and hummed while using runes to seal the door.

Grayfia awkwardly walked off her seat and bowed before Huo Yuhao, looking at his royal blue eyes nervously. "Y-Yuhao-Sama, can you take your weapon out again?" She requested with a stutter.

"Uh, okay?" Huo Yuhao pulled out Stella, and Grayfia could feel the blood of Lucifer from it.

Tears ran from Grayfia's eyes, which left Huo Yuhao surprised because this happened so suddenly. She grasped the blade and let the edge cut her palm, dripping the carpet with her blood. Weirdly, a menacing black light started to come out from Stella's blade.

"The blade contained the last will of the Original Lucifer."

"When you defeated him in the Great War, he sacrificed some of his true devil's blood to seal a mental message to the future head of the Lucifuge Clan."

"He told the previous head, my father, to surrender upon your second arrival to this world."

"I, Grayfia Lucifuge, the 2nd Lucifuge Clan's Head, present herself to Huo Yuhao-Sama's reign." She kissed the blade, which cut her rosy lips slightly.

"Ahh..." Grayfia felt a familiar powerful black light explode from Huo Yuhao's body, making her devil's nature happy.

"T-This is the Demonic Brilliance of Evil Light"

"Yuhao-Sama."

"Please accept this lowly servant."

[Do you want to accept Grayfia Lucifuge as your servant?] Evo's voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's mind.

[Upon accepting her, you'll receive a hidden quest]

[Yes/No]

"Yes, I accepted you to my family, Grayfia." Huo Yuhao laughed in defeat when hearing Evo's notification.

Grayfia smiled happily despite her bleeding lips and hugged Huo Yuhao's legs. "Thank you... Thank you, Yuhao-Sama~!" She whispered like a dream come true.
