Chapter 46 - Chapter 45: First encounter with The Most Powerful Man in the Universe

"Let's see, Royal Heart Ticket, I do not think I will ever use it, honestly.

Inverted Spear of Heaven, this thing basically nullifies spells, but not magic itself, this will definitely turn into another gun, a weapon that fires bullets that cancel magic and another that kills you, one gun in each hand, how does that sound?"

[It sounds chuunibyou.]

"Of course it does, but that does not make it any less cool.

Now let's move on to questions, how powerful is Excalibur? Because I saw one the other day, how does it compare to that one?"

Yuuji looked at the item in his inventory, it was the most cliché Excalibur you could find, however, calling it cliché would not be enough, it is "the" cliché. Probably the most famous Excalibur design in fiction, and the one that inspired many others. A long blue hilt, a curved golden guard, and a long white blade that looks like crystallized holy light.

However, despite how good it looks, Yuuji never watched Fate, so he has no idea about its power or the mechanics of its seal. Even if not using such a sword seems like a waste, having more convenient options, he is not going to use it just because it looks good.

[I have no idea.]

"You do not know?" Yuuji was confused by the system's response.

[Fate is a fictional work where power matters, each element is created with rules, power levels, limitations, and numerous details, and throughout the story the sword is used many times.

This would normally mean that it is stronger.

However, you are in a parody world, a world where the female protagonist can create absurd things capable of affecting the laws of physics in minutes. So yes, there is a possibility that, in such a world, Excalibur is even more powerful than in a fantasy action work. It was not shown enough to know for sure.]

"Great, that, combined with the seals that I have no idea how to remove, means it will probably end up becoming nothing more than a simple decoration.

It does not matter, I do not like close combat anyway, more importantly, what about Divine Dividing? Is it from the DxD I will travel to, a parallel timeline, or a copy?"

[We took it from the DxD you are going to.]

"Does that not conflict with the recorder of everything theory you mentioned before?"

[It does not, because the original reward was returned and then we took one from the DxD you are going to, it is a special protocol for situations like this.]

"So your protocol says that instead of giving me one that would not affect anything, you would forcibly interfere with the story.

I would like to complain, but I feel like that is exactly what you and your so called chaos would do" Yuuji resigned himself, fortunately, the user of Divine Dividing was not too important in the story, that is, yes, he was one of the most powerful characters thanks to Divine Dividing and the direct rival of Issei, the protagonist, but in the grand scheme of things, Vali did not really do much, he usually just challenged strong people to fight, including Issei.

"Or at least I think so, I do not remember much about DxD" Yuuji muttered, having watched Highschool DxD a long time ago, not remembering much is normal.

Unlike the rest of the usable items, Divine Dividing is a Sacred Gear, an artifact that merges with the soul to be used, so when Yuuji accepted the reward, he simply felt a warmth inside him that quickly disappeared as it synchronized with him.

Fortunately, the system explained how to use his new abilities easily, and it also seemed to have adapted to the rest of his system abilities, as Yuuji knew how to use them, and unlike the original, how much he can do depends on Yuuji's power and not on training.

For example, in DxD, for Vali, the Balance Breaker is something achieved after a lot of training and surpassing your limits to such a point that it could be said you "break the limit" of what the Sacred Gear should be capable of.

But for Yuuji, it is simply a second form that he can activate just by thinking about it, although right now he cannot use it for long.

As for the basic abilities, dividing the opponent's power in half, stealing the opponent's power and transferring it either to himself or his allies, he can use them perfectly.

On the other hand, Half Dimension, Reflect Divide, and Juggernaut Drive do not seem to be available for now, only when he becomes stronger will he be able to use them.

Yuuji kept walking for a while until he finally arrived at the school.

However, on the way there, he passed through an alley, the alley he always goes through, the same one that would open from Monday to Friday once for Yuuji to come to school and once for him to leave.

There, in front of the place where it would normally appear, there was a child.

Not only did Yuuji notice the child, but the child also noticed him, as soon as he saw him, Yuuji's immediate instinct was to activate Perfect Unknownable and move right away.

CRASH

And just in time, because in the next second, at the place where Yuuji had been, the ground cracked as fissures spread.

It was not an attack, it was simply the act of moving toward that spot by the "child", his speed and strength were such that they caused that destruction with just his casual movement.

Seeing this, Yuuji was quite glad he reacted quickly, after all, anyone who has seen To Love Ru knows who the child in front of him is, the most powerful character in the series, the strongest person in the entire galaxy, the undisputed king of the Milky Way, Gid Lucione Deviluke, Lala's father.

His current form is simply the result of a recent fight, when Devilukians use too much power, they turn into children for a while as they recover.

Of course, the fact that he is in a "weakened" state does not mean he is actually weak, just weaker than his normal version, he is still capable of destroying planets with his fists.

Fortunately, Perfect Unknownable is a legendary level ability, as long as I stay hidden, there is no way he can find me.

If there is something that can be called a weakness of Gid Lucione Deviluke, it is his lack of magic, Gid is a true monster with all his stats maxed out, his strength, speed, endurance, vitality, everything. However, his race has no inherent magic, so he cannot max that area as well.

Of course, his maxed out endurance still makes magical abilities ineffective against him, but it also means he cannot see through powerful abilities like Perfect Unknownable, which is a relief for Yuuji.

While Gid looked around in confusion, Yuuji slowly retreated, walking backward as if he feared the ability would deactivate at any moment.

'What the hell is he doing here?" Yuuji wondered, breaking into a cold sweat. "No, more than that, it looks like he is looking for me, right?

Why?'

Yuuji wondered for a second, but after thinking about it, it did not seem that strange. In the original story, Gid came around this time to see Rito, it is not that he waited to see him, he was simply busy dealing with a rebellious planet or something like that, as soon as he was free, he went to Earth.

And considering Zastin's recent strange behavior, it was clear he already knew about Lala's feelings for him.

In such a situation, coming to see him would not really be strange.

'However, that does not mean I am going to meet him. Right now, he probably just wants to test me or something to see if I am worthy of Lala, but Lala and I do not really have that kind of relationship, so it does not matter' Yuuji thought to himself.

'Of course, if I leave, he will be disappointed in me, but that does not really matter, right? At most, he will prevent me from being with Lala.'

With those thoughts, Yuuji kept retreating.

...

Meanwhile, on Gid's side.

Gid frowned as he saw his target disappear so quickly, not understanding what had happened.

As if sensing his thoughts, Zastin appeared at his side, immediately kneeling.

"My king"

Gid simply gestured with his hand for him to stand before speaking.

"That was the boy, right? How did he disappear?"

"Yes, it was him" Zastin nodded. "However, I do not know how he disappeared, he did not have such an ability a few days ago"

Gid stroked his chin for a moment, thinking.

"Incredible, when you said he seemed to awaken new abilities every time and increasingly stronger, I thought you were exaggerating, but even I cannot locate him after he hides, incredible"

Zastin sensed the surprise on Gid's face and was shocked, it is not normal for his king, who conquered the entire galaxy, to find something he has never seen before.

However, before he could say anything, Gid's expression changed, becoming extremely serious before he spoke with a voice full of disdain.

"However, no matter his strength, a coward who chooses to run from me, even with the possibility of never being able to be with the girl he supposedly loves, does not deserve even my interest, much less my daughter's hand"

Gid's voice, besides being completely serious, carried an aura of pressure that almost made Zastin kneel immediately, barely managing to resist.

Gid's anger was such that Zastin even thought he could see lightning and thunder crashing behind him.
