POV: 3rd Person
The vibrant lights of the amusement park dimension faded into particles of starlight as Jay and Elysia stepped back into the grand, quiet halls of the floating castle. The eternal blossoms outside cast a soft, silvery glow through the crystal windows.
Elysia walked beside him, her hands clasped together in front of her. Every few seconds, her gaze would drop to her left hand, admiring the rhodium ring resting perfectly on her finger. A soft, irrepressible smile graced her lips, though a noticeable blush still painted her cheeks.
They reached the upper corridor where their respective bedrooms were located. The hallway was entirely silent, the rest of the castle's inhabitants having long since passed out from exhaustion.
Jay stopped in front of his door, turning to look at her. His mask was back on, though the aura around him was completely relaxed.
"Well," Jay said, his voice smooth and carrying a distinct, playful edge. "We're officially engaged now."
Elysia blinked, looking up at him. "Yes, we are~," she hummed, trying to regain her usual teasing composure.
"Does that make you happy, Jay?"
"Very," Jay replied smoothly. He leaned against the doorframe, crossing his arms.
"In fact, since we're engaged, it only makes sense that we start sharing a room, right? My bed is definitely big enough."
Elysia froze.
Her brain completely short-circuited. The confident, teasing Herrscher of Human Ego stared at him, her eyes wide as saucers. The blush that had just begun to recede instantly returned with a vengeance, turning her face as red as a ripe tomato.
"S-S-Share a room?!" Elysia stammered, her voice pitching up an octave as she took a rapid step back, clutching her glowing cheeks.
"B-But we just—! I mean, that's—! T-Too fast! We said we were taking it slow!"
Jay couldn't help the low, amused chuckle that escaped him.
"Just a suggestion."
"Y-You're terrible!" Elysia squeaked, completely flustered. She spun around on her heel, her dress fluttering as she bolted down the hall toward her own room.
"Goodnight, Jay-kun!"
*SLAM.*
Her door shut tight, leaving Jay standing alone in the hallway. He shook his head, a genuine smile on his face, before turning into his own room.
Dining Hall
The morning was loud.
Jay was at the stove again, flipping pancakes and brewing coffee while the various factions slowly filed into the dining hall. The Gremory and Sitri peerages were visibly vibrating with new energy. The *Toriko* food from the night before, combined with a full night of rest in the heavily mana-dense castle, had fully solidified their advancements.
Serafall floated into the room, twirling her wand.
"Good morning, everyone~! Levi-tan is ready for another day of—"
She stopped mid-sentence.
Elysia walked into the dining hall. She looked as radiant as ever, humming a cheerful tune as she poured herself a cup of tea. But Serafall's sharp Maou eyes instantly locked onto the new, glimmering piece of jewelry on the pink-haired girl's left hand.
"E-Ely-chan..." Serafall gasped, dropping her wand, which clattered loudly against the floor.
"Is that... did you...?"
The entire dining hall fell dead silent. Rias, Akeno, and Sona snapped their heads toward Elysia's hand. Even Azazel nearly choked on his morning coffee.
Elysia blinked, looking at her ring, before looking up with a brilliantly happy, albeit slightly shy, smile.
"Oh! Yes. Jay-kun proposed last night~."
Chaos erupted.
"EHHHHH?!" Serafall shrieked, flying across the room to grab Elysia's hand.
"It's so pretty! But wait, you two went on a secret date?! Unfair! I want a date too!"
Akeno covered her mouth, her eyes sparkling.
"My, my. Sensei moves very fast."
"Congratulations, Elysia-san," Asia smiled brightly, clapping her hands.
Jay walked out of the kitchen, carrying two large platters of food, looking entirely unbothered by the screaming Maou and the stunned Devils.
"Sit down and eat. We have things to discuss."
As the group dug into their breakfast, the atmosphere was lighter than it had been in weeks. When the plates were finally cleared, Jay tapped the table.
"I am returning to my world today," Jay announced.
The chatter ceased immediately. Rias frowned, a flicker of anxiety crossing her features.
"You're leaving?"
"Time to back home for me kids," Jay explained.
"Elysia will also be returning to her universe."
Elysia nodded softly.
"I know time is stopped, but... I am still worried about my friends in Fire Moth. I want to check on them."
"Before we part ways, I have something for all of you," Jay said.
He waved his hand, and several sleek, bracelets materialized in the air, floating down to land gracefully in front of every person at the table—Rias, Sona, their peerages, Valina, Kuroka, Le Fay, Azazel, Tobio, Lavinia, and Asia.
"Put them on," Jay ordered.
As they slipped the bands onto their wrists, the metal hummed faintly, adjusting perfectly to their sizes.
"These aren't just accessories," Jay explained, his tone serious.
"They are conceptual anchors. They provide an absolute Conceptual-Defense Field. If an enemy tries to erase your existence, alter your memories, or hit you with an instant-death curse, the bracelet will nullify it."
Azazel stared at his wrist, his jaw practically hitting the floor.
"You... you casually handed out artifacts that defy the laws of reality?"
"There's more," Jay continued smoothly.
"If you are somehow killed, the bracelet will instantly store your soul, preventing it from moving on, and attempt an automatic revival. If it fails, it keeps your soul perfectly intact until I can retrieve you. It also acts as an emotion and killing-intent sensor, alerting me instantly if you are in true, mortal danger."
Sona adjusted her glasses, her hands trembling slightly at the sheer value of the item she was wearing.
"This is... invaluable, Jay-sensei. But why go this far?"
"Because a massive storm is coming to the multiverse, and I refuse to let my students and allies die to random anomalies," Jay stated flatly. He glanced at Elysia.
"Elysia's ring possesses the exact same functions, alongside a few massive, personalized additions."
Elysia smiled warmly, pressing the ring to her chest.
Jay walked around the table, stopping just behind Sona. The Sitri heiress stiffened slightly.
"I have a gift, Sona," Jay said softly. "
He tapped her shoulder. A faint, warm golden light washed over Sona's body.
Sona blinked, feeling a sudden shift in her posture. The others at the table gasped. Sona's figure had subtly but undeniably matured. Her posture was more naturally commanding, her features slightly more refined, and—most noticeably—her previously modest bust had been beautifully enhanced, perfectly proportioning her figure to rival even Rias and Akeno.
Sona looked down at herself, her eyes widening to comical proportions. Her pale cheeks instantly turned a furious shade of scarlet.
"J-J-Jay-sensei?!" Sona squeaked, completely losing her aristocratic composure, her hands hovering awkwardly in front of her chest.
Serafall cheered loudly, pumping her fists. "Kyaaa! So-tan got an upgrade! You look gorgeous!"
Rias pouted slightly, crossing her arms, though she couldn't hide her amused smile. "Well... I suppose it suits you, Sona."
Jay chuckled, walking back to the head of the table.
"Well you seems not confident about your body so yeah."
He the turned to Rias "Rias don't worry about riser i already done something to him, believe me he will break the engagement may be in few days"
Rias blinked "How?"
Jay couldnt hold his lauther
"hehehe you see may be his manhood wont get up anymore..."
Azazel and tobio gulping
THIS GUY IS MORE EVIL THAN DEVILS!!
Rias blinked and laughed
"AHAHAHA TAKE THAT!"
He turned to the two Heavenly Dragons. "Abygail. I want you to stay here and guard the castle alongside Serafall. The training doesn't stop just because I'm not physically standing over them."
Abygail smiled, crossing her arms beneath her chest. "Understood, partner. I'll make sure they don't slack off."
"I'm coming with you," Ygnisia spoke up, her emerald eyes locking onto Jay. The red-haired dragon woman smirked confidently.
"Well you said you need me to be your mom bodyguard."
"Fine by me," Jay nodded.
"Oh, and for everyone staying here—check the temporal storage function on your bracelets. I've stored roughly a hundred years' worth of modified food inside each of them. You won't go hungry."
Azazel let out a dry, defeated laugh. "Of course you did. Why am I even surprised anymore?"
Jay stopped at the center of the room. He looked at the gathered crowd—gods, dragons, devils, and humans. They had bled for him. They had trusted him. It was time to return the favor.
Jay reached up and grabbed the clasps of his mask.
"I won't be wearing this in my world," Jay said, his voice echoing in the quiet hall.
"And since you are all under my protection now, it's only fair we do formal introductions."
He pulled the mask away.
For the second time in twenty-four hours, the room fell into absolute, stunned silence. The divine charm was heavily suppressed, but the sheer, conceptual perfection of his face remained. Sharp, flawless features, striking white hair, and crystalline blue eyes.
"My name is Jay Oosuki," he said, a genuine, sly smile spreading across his face.
"And I am fifteen years old."
If the unmasking had stunned them, the age drop shattered them.
"FIFTEEN?!" Rias and Sona shrieked in unison.
Azazel actually fell out of his chair.
But the best reaction came from Elysia. The beautiful, seventeen-year-old Herrscher stared at him, her face turning bright red as the realization hit her.
"F-Fifteen?!" Elysia squeaked, pointing a trembling finger at him.
"I... I'm engaged to a younger boy?! I'm the older one?!"
Jay burst out laughing, a rich, hearty sound that filled the room.
"Don't act like an old lady, Elysia. We have all the time in the multiverse."
Before the chaos could escalate further, Jay snapped his fingers. Two cosmic portals tore open in the dining hall.
"Keep training. Don't die," Jay ordered the remaining Devils with a final, commanding smirk.
He leaned in, pressing a soft, lingering kiss to Elysia's forehead.
"Be safe. Call me through the ring if you need anything."
Elysia, still heavily flustered by the age revelation, pouted but nodded, her eyes soft.
"I will. See you soon, Jay." She stepped into her portal, vanishing back to the Previous Era of the Honkai world.
Jay turned to Ygnisia. "Ready?"
The dragon woman grinned, her aura flaring with excitement. "Let's fucking goo."
They stepped through the second portal, leaving the dimension behind.
The cosmic portal deposited Ygnisia and me in the center of Rito's dark, quiet living room. Outside, the crickets chirped softly. The clock on the wall hadn't moved a single second. Because I had frozen time in the DxD universe, it was the exact same night I had fought the devouring transmigrator.
Ygnisia looked around the humble, earthly abode, raising a delicate eyebrow.
"This is your world? "
"I'm currently crashing on my neighbor's sofa," I sighed, tossing my coat over a nearby chair.
"Long story short involving a jealous stepbrother. Do you want to rest out here, or in the pocket dimension room I set up for you?"
"The dimension, please," Ygnisia said, stretching her arms elegantly above her head.
"I want to rest out a real bed now after being trapped in a gauntlet for centuries. Wake me up if something interesting happens."
I waved my hand, opening a small spatial tear to a luxurious, customized room in my pocket space. Ygnisia offered a lazy, amused wave before stepping through, the rift closing silently behind her.
Alone in the dark living room, I sat heavily on the sofa. I didn't sleep. Instead, I closed my eyes and activated a telepathic link across the city.
<< Hey. You awake? >> I sent out.
<< I'm literally you. I don't sleep unless you sleep. Which is never, >> my clone's voice echoed back in my mind, dripping with my own signature sarcasm.
<< What do you need? Just straight to the point i'm busy >>
I chuckled softly in the dark. For how many years i left a clone on Earth to handle my mundane life and business operations was the best decision I had ever made.
"Just checking in," I murmured out loud.
"Give me a status report on the company."
<< Nexus corp is operating perfectly, >>
the clone reported, the sound of typing echoing faintly through the telepathic link.
<< The new medical nanobot technology we pushed through is dominating the global market. Ringo Ohoshi was complaining that you haven't visited the lab, by the way. She wants more of those 'Unique Material'.>>
I smiled faintly. My company, Nexus Corp, was only two years old, but it practically ran the world's advanced technology and clean energy sectors.
Building it hadn't been a conventional journey. From the time I was five until I was ten, I entered the human world's underground and official martial arts tournaments just to test my restraint. I swept through them effortlessly, culminating in a brutal, highly publicized final match when I was exactly ten years old. My opponent was a thirteen-year-old middle-school prodigy named Makoto Kyogoku. Makoto was an absolute beast—now an eighteen-year-old third-year high schooler—but back then, I dismantled him so thoroughly and overwhelmingly that the global sports committees collectively panicked.
They permanently banned me from every single sport branch in the world without execption, deeming my existence a "lethal national asset."
I really fucked up they almost get my mother to know fortunately i concince gen so that matter dismissed my mom only know i have good talents in nartial arts and academics
That was how I met Gen Tachibana. The imposing Police Commissioner—and father to Marika Tachibana—had been in the audience during that final fight. Seeing my potential, Gen approached me, acting as a sponsor to keep the terrified government officials off my back.
Since I was globally banned from competing, I spent the next two years, from age ten to twelve, occasionally training under two of the most absurd entities in existence: Lucoa, the the world cup dragon goddess who taught me ancient, bizarre magic with a frustratingly laid-back attitude, and the Emperor of Demise, a terrifying, massive dragon who drilled absolute draconic discipline into my bones. I met them by chance and that the first struglle i have in this life like god damn it emperor of demise get scaled up how can i win with half assed magic
A/N: even if jay that time alredy awakens six eyes and training magic he only just replicate infinity and limitless technique with magic. And several others like sukuna techbiques but the demise emperor here god scaled so lucoa do atleast at they maksimum they can destroy a galaxy. Ah you may wondering how jay have a clone jay study the spell from lucoa.
By the time I was thirteen, through Gen's connections, I was introduced to Tsukasa Mikogami, who was eighteen at the time. Tsukasa was a political mastermind. Now, at twenty, he was the youngest Prime Minister in the world. Recognizing each other's ridiculous capabilities, Tsukasa, Ringo, and the rest of the 7 High School Geniuses partnered with me. With their brains and my otherworldly resources that i got when i go to tohru original world, we launched Nexus Corp two years ago.
<< Also, Tsukasa called earlier, >> my clone continued, breaking my nostalgic train of thought.
<< The Prime Minister sends his regards and wants to know if we can expedite the clean-energy reactors for the Tokyo district. >>
"Tell Tsukasa he'll get them by next week, and tell Ringo I'll drop by the lab with some new alien metals soon," I instructed.
"But right now, I need you to do some real estate shopping."
<< Let me guess. We need more space for the growing harem? >>
"Shut up," I sighed, though I couldn't deny it. "Just buy the two houses adjacent to the Yuuki residence. I don't care who lives there right now; throw company petty cash at them and pay triple the market value so they leave by tomorrow morning. Then, renovate the properties immediately and connect them."
<< Done. I'll have the construction drones and our legal team handle it before dawn. Anything else, Boss? >>
"No. Good work. Cut connection."
The telepathic link severed. I leaned my head back against the sofa, letting the silence of the house wash over me. The foundation was set. My people were getting stronger. My company was thriving, securing a comfortable, financially untouchable life for Mamako and the others.
Suddenly, my smartphone buzzed loudly against the glass of the coffee table.
I sat up, squinting at the bright screen in the dark room. It was a message from Ran Nee san.
[Ran]: "Jay... I'm so sorry to message you this late. Please call me when you wake up. It's about Shinichi. Uncle and aunt kudo say shunichi dead."
I stared at the text message, the blue light reflecting in my eyes.
Shinichi Kudo wasn't dead. I knew exactly what had happened at Tropical Land. The fact that Shinichi had successfully faked his death entirely—leaving behind a fabricated body instead of just shrinking and hiding as Conan Edogawa—meant the plot of this world was heavily deviating.
The Black Organization wasn't just lurking anymore. They were moving aggressively and more dangerous because they have many countries support, and the established timelines of my world were beginning to completely derail.
I locked the phone screen, a slow, dangerous smile creeping across my face in the dark living room.
The outer gods wanted chaos? They wanted to test me by breaking the boundaries of my world?
I thought, tossing the phone back onto the table.
At the same time
A small portal in tokyo opened in small alley
A ghoul appeared...
