Chapter 60 - The Ultimate Plan.
In the park of Kuoh town, an angel and a dragon were having a very important discussion about another dragon and a half-devil. The dragon was mostly the listener as the angel was throwing ideas and theories that made him sweat.
Leo was putting an idea after an idea about Albion and Vali as Ddraig was sweating inside of the Longinus.
Ddraig can swear he never saw such a demonic mind that can troll people to a degree that makes them surrender without a fight.
"And this is the 23rd way to annoy your rival" Leo said as he looked at his necklace.
"..." Ddraig took a deep breath before he said " I don't know what to think anymore"
"Well, it's your call" Leo shrugged his shoulders before he said " Or until he came looking for us because I'm too lazy to look for him"
"Can't you just see him with your eyes?" Ddraig remembered that this guy can see anything in the world as long as it's in present and isn't stronger than him.
"Yeah, but I don't really see the point in doing so" Leo stood up from the bench before he said " He'll come by himself, so why should I waste my time"
Ddraig wanted to say that laying down and doing nothing is also a waste of time, but Leo will probably give him a speech about ' How humanity evolved because they were lazy' or something like that.
Leo ate the cookie in his hand before he stretched his arm a little bit. After a moment, he looked at Tusk and said " Hey, Tusk. Keep that concept with you until I figure what to do with it"
Tusk nodded before it disappeared inside of Leo's necklace. The concept of infinite is strong, but not in this world and it's more useless than the dream one.
Leo is already a high-level existence and even his energy brings chaos to the world by existence only, so Ophis' concept can't make him infinite or the Spin perfect because of its flaws. Well, maybe it can increase his energy reserve, but nothing more.
However, this doesn't seem like a cost-effective usage, so Leo is thinking of how he should use this concept.
After thinking about these problems, Leo looked around to see the people in the park before he nodded.
Some people were walking in the park or doing exercises before Leo felt this was enough. He gave Ophis 1 second to appear, but unfortunately(fortunately), she didn't come back quickly.
Inside Kuoh Academy, Leo appeared next to his clone before the clone vanished. Nobody noticed anything as they weren't supposed and able to witness anything because of the darkness effect.
"Now, what to do?" Leo was thinking about what he should do at this period except wandering around and maybe trying to find something interesting.
He didn't have a lot to do except attend some classes and watch the Great Red and Ophis battle from here.
However, he sensed something slightly interesting coming for the south-side of the school before he said " All the devils are in one place, huh?"
Leo was able to see Sona and a red-haired girl that he forgot her name at the old school building in the south. However, he didn't care much about them except two things.
First, it seems that Saji accepted, and he's officially a devil and there was a red-haired guy and a white-haired maid next to him.
Leo looked at them with his eyes before the red-haired guy felt something, but he shook his head as he told something to the devils. After hearing the red-haired man words, the devils nodded before a magical circle appeared and they teleported.
"I wonder what the big fuss about '' Leo mumbled those words before Ddraig's voice appeared in his head {You think?}
Ddraig can bet on his name as a heavenly dragon that all the things are about this guy almost destroying the world.
"... No" Leo said while Ddraig was too lazy to say anything else before they walked away.
"Basically, there's nothing to do today, huh... Neat" Leo said before he walked forward in the corridor.
And about the plot or something? First of all, he wants to say fuck the plot and To Aru didn't say anything except putting him in debt.
However, Leo didn't walk a lot before he sensed something waking up. Looking at his clothes, Leo saw 18 runes flashing around before Venom woke up.
{I'm sorry for keeping you waiting, my lord} Leo heard Venom's voice in his head before he said " Don't worry about it, but how did it go?"
{I don't know a lot about my condition except I can use these runes and channel their power according to my understanding about them} Venom said as the runes became dim before they disappeared from Leo's clothes.
"You can use the runes? This is really a surprise" Leo raised his eyebrow before his calculation started to analyze the situation.
Runes are letters in a set of alphabet known as the runic alphabet, the alphabet is used in various magic spells and rituals, known as Rune Magic. This kind of magic is popular and common in most of the worlds related to magic, but it also differs from one world to another.
Here in DxD, they had the full original 18 runes and the 24 runes that meant to be passed for humanity. However, the runes in DXD were so weak that Leo rejected them subconsciously.
The runes in DXD are used to make magic equations and magic-circles, which is not a perfect use for the runes, but the world rules put them like this.
The runes aren't meant to be used like this, they should be written on something or in the air as they will have different effects based on the user's knowledge, understanding, and the rune type.
To be honest, the fact that the runes are only used for magic equations and magic circles is a slap to the face for the true runes and magicians.
However, when Leo ascended to a higher life form, which is an angel level, the runes he got from under Ygddrasil had a change and became purer according to To Aru world rules.
First, they became 24 runes because Leo was in the human level of understanding, he even used them to seal his power and overdrive the spell. But when he got his body and power back his understanding entered the higher life form levels, so the runes changed to the original 18 runes.
But Venom had a huge change because he was affected by the runes, Incursio adaptation, and evolution as he transformed into something that all mages from To Aru know.
"Congratulations, Venom. You have officially become a Spiritual Item" Leo said as Venom was confused before he received some information.
Leo sent Venom the information about a spiritual item, it's a special tool that is used by magicians to aid in the use of magic.
Magic in To Aru is based on the Idol Theory as it relates to the myth and stories in legend. It is to draw power from these legends and affect the world around you, so these spiritual items were made for this purpose.
When magicians use magic in To Aru, they often use these specialized tools which correspond to the symbols and requirements for the spell in question, allowing magic to be executed more efficiently and conveniently.
Venom became the same thing as he could use runes and help Leo to use them more conveniently and efficiently. Although Venom doesn't relate to Norse mythology at all, those 18 runes on him mean he's the carrier of the knowledge, and he can change shape to work more effectively.
Leo had a lot of questions about these sorts of things, but he still couldn't see a lot from the Book of The Law, so he doesn't want to hurt his head by looking at it again.
"Take some time and look at the runes" Leo said before Venom nodded and went back to look at the runes.
"Well, I guess I'll just put these in the store" Leo looked at the magic books library in the dimensional gap.
The entire library that he stole is meaningless because a single rune can substitute all those magic circles and equations if it was used correctly.
However, when Leo entered the Chat Room to put the books for sale, he was greeted with a very weird scene.
[#######(DXD world will): Oh, c'mon!!]
[##############(To Aru world will): Nah, no way, don't dream about it]
[#######(DXD world will): But you have nothing to lose! Why don't you want to do it?!]
[##############(To Aru world will): Does your plan include a total destruction to all existence before the re-creation?]
[#######(DXD world will):....I hate you]
[##############(To Aru world will): Oh? Is this the hate-hate relationship? You hate me and... I hate myself]
[#######(DXD world will):...]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): Are you two this bored?]
Apparently, To Aru and DXD never left the chat as they were just hanging around.
[##############(To Aru world will): Yes, I'm always bored]
[#######(DXD world will): I hate both of you]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): Finally, I can use the argument of the world hate me as a fact without being edgy... But why does it sound like he gave up on life]
[#######(DXD world will): Do you know what you did to me? Tell me, what did you see 10 seconds ago?]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): Devils are leaving the school... Oh, wait... They aren't coming back anytime soon, right?]
[#######(DXD world will): Yeah, devils left highschool... YOU TOOK AWAY MY IDENTITY!!!]
[#######(DXD world will): Without highschool, I'll be just DXD with nothing else!!]
[##############(To Aru world will): The only thing left is a shitty sexual joke]
[#######(DXD world will): AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): So, what happened here?] historical
[##############(To Aru world will): He wanted my help to blackmail you into his plot, but his plan had one single problem which I didn't like]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): Forcing me to do things against my will?]
[##############(To Aru world will): Nah, I don't care about you. I told him to do a total annihilation before re-creating everything, but he refused]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): Yeah, that sounds more convenient than following a stupid plot]
[##############(To Aru world will): See, this guy gets it. You aren't half bad in the art of convenient plans]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): Yeah, maybe I should destroy everything as an 'encouragement' for our lovely world]
[#######(DXD world will):.....]
[##############(To Aru world will): Maybe you should immigrate to my world, we've a lot of people with the same mind-set as you]
Leo was typing in the chat before he teleported to the rooftop and focused on the conversation.
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): Anyway, I'll not follow the plot, or at least your plot]
[#######(DXD world will): Why?! Isn't it easy to follow the plot?! And does your heart allow you to let all that misfortune happen to those girls after you stole Ddraig?!]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): So, let me ask you a question. Does it have to be me?]
[#######(DXD world will):.... You have Ddraig]
{There's something fishy about this} Leo squinted his eyes at the screen before he typed.
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): You know I can make a mini-Ddraig, right? And why should I save some people just because they appeared in the plot? To be honest, I don't care about them]
[#######(DXD world will): No, it need to be Ddraig because Fate is such a fragile element of the world when it's broken, so it need to be treated carefully]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): I see, your wisdom is beyond my understanding]
[#######(DXD world will):*Sigh* I'm glad we could agree on something]
A grin formed on Leo's face before he typed a very simple question.
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): About that, I want to ask a question... Can the plot be changed?]
[#######(DXD world will):.... No]
[##############(To Aru world will): Yes, and it's easy if it was you and boobs power's world]
"..." Leo's eyebrow was twitching from the contradiction in the messages.
[#######(DXD world will): Really? You gonna sell me like that?!]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): I have a lot of things to say about this, but can the real wise being(To Aru) share his wisdom with me?]
[##############(To Aru world will): Sure, but you need to prove to me that you deserve my knowledge. After all, you're in debt now]
"..." Leo took a deep breath before he closed his eyes and thought for a moment. All the time that Leo lived in this world was flashing in his memories while he remembered some of the original plot.
After a while, Leo opened his eyes before a determined look formed on his face.
DXD was surprised because this might really be a speech about his world, but all those ideas popped like a bubble.
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): before arriving in this world, I saw it on the screen as all those episodes made me doubt myself. Why the hell am I still watching this? In the end, I discovered that I'm just wasting my time because I have nothing better to do]
[#######(DXD world will): OI!!]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): So, after arriving in this world... I didn't care a lot about its plot. Then I became an angel and saw how bad this world in his rules arrangement, but I still don't care about it]
Leo looked at the window as he could see a loli and giant dragon fighting in the Dimensional Gap. The explosions were everywhere as Ophis and Great Red were bombing everything.
[#######(DXD world will):.....]
DXD was getting more injuries in his feelings with each word from Leo.
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): However, this is still a world that I lived in for years. I'll not give up on it and I believe it can change, so I'll...]
[#######(DXD world will): Maybe I misunderstood you]
DXD was a little emotional from the last message, but that didn't last long before he was doubting life.
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): Make it a shonen world!!!!]
[#######(DXD world will): I HATE YOU!!!!]
[##############(To Aru world will): HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! *Wipes tears* That was beautiful. Fine, I'll help you for free. You also don't have to worry because he can't ban you like Akame ga Kill.]
[##############(To Aru world will): Boobs power was just too lazy to fix his world, so he wanted to lower the cost by making you follow the fate because you destroyed it. *Sigh* I'm still telling those worlds that destruction is very healthy and they should do it at least once]
To Aru said that the cost of repairing will be much lower if the world was destroyed at some point. If something was destroyed then it's just accelerating the plot and it can be fixed easily.
[#######(DXD world will): DO YOU THINK WE ARE CRAZY LIKE YOU!!!???]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): Shhhhh! Let me learn]
[##############(To Aru world will): Look, you can change the plot, but make sure the main events are still in place and the ending is similar to the plot. If you do that, then everything will be okay.]
[#######(DXD world will): C'mon, don't do me like this!]
[##############(To Aru world will): You lost your right in negotiation after I heard about the 12 Heavenly Breasts]
[#######(DXD world will):.....]
"Is that actually real?" Leo widened his eyes as he stared at the screen and the 12 Heavenly Breasts.
[##############(To Aru world will): You need to balance the rules with 'mystery' and 'power'. I'll leave that to you to figure it out because you need that for the real battlefields and not every world can allow you to act freely like me, or boobs power]
"Things are really complicated, huh?..." Leo frowned as he looked at the messages of the real battlefield.
He knows there's a difference between worlds and some worlds can be strict in its rules like in, To Aru, he can't affect the entire world like he did with DXD.
[##############(To Aru world will): You also need something like a buffer and a glue, like Karma or luck. I believe that boobs power will throw such power randomly in his world]
Karma and luck can be very similar to the plot, so using them can help the plot change without affecting the overall situation.
[#######(DXD world will): Me? I'll never do such a thing]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): TELOS KARMA!!!]
[#######(DXD world will): Can we talk about this?]
[Annihilation Maker(Admin): Talk about what? We're helping you, but in our ways]
[##############(To Aru world will): Yeah, stop complaining. We're doing you a favor]
DXD knows that the idea of To Aru is effective and very simple to be done, but he'll never admit that the two bastards are right. Especially after he saw them planning the plot from the training arc to the tournament arc.
[##############(To Aru world will): So, this is all. What will you do?]
"I'll make sure it follows the plot while I... I'll be the villain and the big boss" Leo grinned as he had an idea about the new beast he'll make. DXD almost puked blood when he saw Leo's grin.
"However, more importantly, and just because I can... I'll make this shonen protagonist" Leo clenched his fist before he looked at the sky and said " A female"
At this time, in To Aru world. All the powerful beings felt the world stopped for a second, they didn't understand why, but all the rules and laws were frozen. However, this was only because the world was... Excited.
[##############(To Aru world will): YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!]
[#######(DXD world will): NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!]
At this moment, an angel of doom and a psychopath world will agree to do their 'helpful' plan in the face of a sad world will. As he couldn't do anything to stop them because they are actually helping, but his mental health can't support this.
