Strongest In DxD - Chapter 84

"Interesting, but what's with all these beings?" asked Arturia turning to the tubes that were scattered all over the place.

"Making my creations is not as simple as I imagine, the more information I have the more powerful and conscious they will be, so I captured several supernatural beings to use as reference and created my own versions of them. Angels, Fallen Angels, Demons, Youkais and even Dragons, I created my own versions of them," Ren explained calmly.

The handmaids' eyes only widened as they listened to Ren speak, to think that the human in front of them, who was barely two decades old, had recreated a feat that only God had been able to achieve and accomplish.

"Among those creations of mine are some special ones like Imperius who possess his own personality as well as immense power" Ren explained calmly.

"How strong is he?" asked Gilgamesh looking at Imperius.

"I am sure he could fight and win in a battle against Sirzechs Lucifer without much trouble" said Ren calmly.

Even Ren had to admit that Imperius was very powerful, his physical abilities easily surpassed any Angel created by God, Imperius' strength and speed allowed him to fight even Ren temporarily, and on top of that Imperius had the ability to use [Fire Devil Slayer Magic] to an amazing degree, for Imperius it would be as if he had always been using [Devil Force] due to the power and control he possessed.

"Let me ask Ren; how many creatures have you made?" asked Scathach as he looked at his master.

Scathach knew that Ren had been using the power of his Longinus for a long time, so she could expect him to have a considerable army.

"I don't know, I stopped counting after a million" Ren said nonchalantly.

The moment Ren finished speaking, all the handmaidens suddenly stopped in shock, even the stoic Okita was unable to hide her surprise at what her master had said.

"A million? But if you said that the army of the Three Factions has around three hundred thousand soldiers..." began Semiramis in surprise.

It was not too surprising that the military power of the Three Factions was considerably low, the Angels could not be created since the death of God and therefore were the least numbered Faction, the Fallen Angels only had as their members former Pure Angels and also other magicians and Sacred Gear users they could recruit, already the Demons although they were the biggest Faction in terms of numbers they were quite low in numbers due to the Great War and the Civil War, of the former 72 Pillars there were currently only 32 of them and a large part of the current Demons are civilians, so even with the [Evil Pieces] their numbers weren't very large.

"So your army has a greater power than those of the Three Factions" said Gilgamesh smiling calmly.

Ignoring the shock of his handmaidens, Ren turned to Imperius who was still kneeling.

"Where is Diablo?" asked Ren calmly.

It was possible to see Imperius stiffening at the question as his aura increased slightly reflecting his feelings.

"My lord, you really have plans for that" Imperius said, but it was possible to feel the venom in his voice when he mentioned Diablo.

Ren was not too surprised by Imperius' dislike of Diablo, Diablo himself was one of Ren's greatest creations, created to represent in essence what a demon was, he was a brutal, cruel and unscrupulous being who would kill anyone just for fun, even Ren had several problems dealing with him already, after all as such a being it was obvious that Diablo would try to betray Ren, and he really did try.

Which had resulted in Diablo running away and him fighting Ren in a battle of great consequence due to the power of both.

And that was the reason the Australian continent no longer existed.

However after that Ren had made sure to stop Diablo from betraying him by using the power of the [Annihilation Maker] to make Diablo have an undying loyalty to Ren.

"Yes, even though he is like that Diablo is still useful to me" said Ren receiving a nod from Imperius.

"So master, what is the next step?" asked Okita calmly.

Ren placed his hand on his chin as he began to think.

"Well Imperius summon Ilia as well, you two will have a mission" said Ren receiving a nod from Angel, "Already Diablo and Satan will accompany Joan on a mission, also ask them to mobilize their armies to go along"

"What mission master?" asked Joan curiously.

A smile appeared on Ren's face.

"Let's say that the Dragon Witch will finally get her revenge against those who killed her" said Ren calmly.

Hearing Ren's words an immense smile broke out on Joan's face.

"I will go to the Underworld and let my shadows and Gravel will take care of Grigori" said Ren as he looked at his own shadow and seemed to have dozens of blue eyes shine through it.

"What about us, master?" asked Arturia curiously.

"You will have your moment, but for now prepare for the next mission, this one will now be just to draw attention to the next one" Ren said calmly while his handmaidens nodded, "And Imperius, summon 'it' too"

The handmaids blinked without understanding what their master had said, but as they turned to Imperius they blinked in surprise at what they saw.

The Angel was wide-eyed from behind his helmet while it was possible to see his body trembling slightly.

"Do you plan to release that?" asked Imperius in astonishment.

"Yes, after all I created it for a purpose" said Ren calmly.

"But my lord, that is a being of pure destruction" said Imperius with a slight hint of fear.

"But he is also one of the most loyal to me, and also..." as he spoke an immense smile appeared on Ren's face, "It was for that purpose that I created him"

Even with reluctance to release such a monster, Imperius nodded his head in agreement with what his master had said.

"So what is the next step master?" asked Semiramis curiously.

"An attack on the Three Factions" said Ren smiling.

The happiness within the wielder of the Sacred Spear due to the fact that his plan was already entering its final stretch could not be contained.

"I guess this time I will go personally" thought Ren with a smile.

Underworld.

It had been several days since the Angels' attack on the Underworld where serious damage had been done, several pure-blooded and reincarnated demons had died in the attack in the face of the power of light, the equivalent of millions of dollars had been lost to the attack.

But now after several days of the incident the Underworld was already recovering from all that had happened, but the biggest shock was undoubtedly the death of Sirzechs Lucifer.

The death of the Maou Crimson had shocked everyone, the Gremory clan was in mourning, not only for the death of their eldest son, but also because they later found out that the current heiress, Rias Gremory, had committed suicide because of everything that had happened.
