Chapter 893 Soul Gear
Kisuke sighed once again and turned towards Rias, "Gremory-san, do you mind throwing a bit of your Magic in my direction?"
Rias didn't question him and simply pointed her finger towards him before a ball of Destruction the size of a baseball came flying out.
Kisuke threw the book he had at the incoming projectile and the collision resulted in the book's complete annihilation, "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Kisuke then stood up while turning back to Le Fay with a big smile and putting forward his hand, "Let's sign this pact~. Please take care of me~."
Le Fay's serious expression instantly changed to that of extreme delight, "Let's get along well, Kisuke-sama!"
"Then let's strike the iron while it's hot." Kisuke turned to everyone else, "Everyone, we'll take our leave for now. Thank you for having us although things went awry from the start. Gremory-san, please do tell Runeas-san that she can contact me anytime. She'll understand what I mean."
"I'll make sure that your message is relayed." Rias also stood up, "We'd like to discuss a few more things with you, but we can't keep you here since you're a busy man. With that said, you're also very welcome to visit the Gremory Household anytime. I think we could cooperate on several things."
"I do have some things in mind but I'll save it for now since the Alliance of Hell's all-out attack is just around the corner. Sadly, I can only wish you good luck when they start acting since I'll be somewhere else."
"That's really a shame. I don't know what you'll be doing at that time, but I bid you good luck too."
"Thank you very much. Do you also mind if we teleport out of here? I'm sure that there would be a lot of people waiting for us so I'd like to be saved from all the trouble they'll be bringing."
"I don't mind. Please be my guest."
"Vali-sama, Nii-sama. I'll be leaving for a while." Le Fay also bid her farewell to her comrades.
Vali nodded and said, "We'll contact you whenever there's something important. Take your time."
"Be careful out there. If there's an emergency on your side, I'll come as quickly as possible." Arthur added.
Meanwhile, Kisuke also finished his Magic Circle and already had Riveria on his side, "We'll be going back to the Belial Manor before going to the Golden Dawn."
'It's still a bit early, but since the Alliance of Hell's attack is just around the corner, most eyes will be taken off of us and it should be a good chance to strengthen the Belial's influence with anyone too late to stop it.'

"So we'll be canceling our previous arrangement with Mephisto Pheles?" asked Cleria while dealing with some paperwork.
Le Fay became instantly worried, "What!? You already arranged a meeting with Mephisto-sama!? Wait... Isn't that bad? What we'll be doing is just plain rude and may even cause negative sentiments between the Belial House and Grauzauberer."
"It's fine. I wouldn't have accepted your offer if I didn't have something to settle this." Kisuke consoled her while patting her head.
Le Fay was a bit shocked by the sudden feeling on top of her head, but she didn't say anything. She strangely didn't hate it in the first place.
Cleria put down her pen and looked at Kisuke, "Is that so? Then we will need to do it fast since the time of the meeting is fast approaching. Do you want me to give them a call for now?"
Kisuke didn't say a word and instead took out a compiled set of papers and a silver dagger with a very simplistic design.
Cleria received both of them and checked the papers first and saw a bunch of blueprints for some unknown types of machinery, "This is?"
"Equipment that we'll need for the mass production of that dagger. Although that's not all of it since I'll be providing the crucial pieces of equipment myself."
Cleria put aside the papers and picked up the dagger to inspect it. Aside from the soft Magic Power it was emitting and how it was trying to entangle her Demonic Power in a way that she could easily resist, there was nothing strange or special that she could see about it, "What is this? And why take it out now?"
"This is an artificial Sacred Gear that anyone can use, but I'd like to call it a Soul Gear."
Cleria almost dropped the dagger, but fortunately, she was able to grab hold of it again, "A-artificial Sacred Gear!? And mass production!? Is this the Grigori's?"
"It's not. I developed that myself. Compared to Grigori's and Heaven's, however, it's a lot weaker to start out with. Even then, its potential is way beyond those two. It may look like a dagger right now, but it could change its shape depending on how the host would like to use it and could even develop unique capabilities in the long run."
"...What sort of change? Give me an example."
"It's shaped like a dagger, but depending on its owner, it may become a shield or a ring and develop a healing ability. If lucky and fated, it could even develop an ability that's similar to what the Longinus have right now."
"...That's ridiculous." Cleria became nervous while holding the dagger that could shape the entire future of this world, "Is there some sort of side effect from using this?"
"Aside from a really slow development if the user is just an average person and the chances of it reaching the Longinus level being the same as winning the lottery a few times in a row, there's really nothing." Kisuke shrugged his shoulders, 'After all, it was created through the fusion of Sacred Gear and Zanpakuto technology.'
Cleria chuckled but it didn't match her expression, "This will definitely cause a war."
"It definitely would if not for the looming threat called Alliance of Hell and the Otherworldly invasion. Please give that dagger to Mephisto Pheles-san and promise him that he could have the first batch to test things out if he could back the Belial House. After that, send a similar proposal to the Sitri and Gremory House. As long as we can expand our influence while everybody else's attention is somewhere else, the chances of war diminish."
"The Sitri isn't going to be a problem, but the Gremory? Isn't that too risky? Even though you're best friends with Issei-kun..."
"It'll be fine. I met their progenitor today so I'll be asking her to approve of this."
"...The Progenitor? ...Did you mean Runeas Gremory? ...She's still alive?" Cleria couldn't keep up with all the news today and that's just from Kisuke going out to Gremory Territory today.
"Yes. It's the same person. If that's not enough to stop the threat of conflict, I'll be publishing the core basics of this technology for the others to play with. There shouldn't be any reason for them to look at us after that, but I'd like to keep that as the last resort."
"...Alright... For now, please let me drop everything and cancel all my appointments to work on this." Cleria exited the room feeling dizzy. While she didn't want to think about the grim future, she couldn't exactly ignore what Kisuke had given her and it'd be better to make some policy changes in anticipation of the storm it'll eventually cause, 'Sarah... Your son... He's single handedly changing the world.'
Meanwhile, Riveria was confused about what was going on and looked toward Le Fay who had cold sweat dripping down her forehead, "What's wrong? Are you alright?"
"N-nothing... I just thought that the Human World should adapt to Magic soon since that's the only way that I could think of to offset all of this."
"Please don't worry." Kisuke interrupted them, "I've already thought of several countermeasures to avoid any abuses of power resulting from these Soul Gears. Anyone who will start a war using this will be promptly removed by everyone else."
"That's reassuring but you're not the only one who'll be able to manufacture this once you publish your research."
"You misunderstand. For a few decades to centuries at least, Soul Gears will be exclusively from the Belial House. Although I'll be publishing the core basics, that doesn't mean I'll do the same for the prerequisite technologies that are needed."
'And I won't be publishing any Zanpakuto-related information, so good luck with them.'
But while Kisuke was busy laying down all the traps he needed for any sort of situation that he could anticipate, things were heating up in the Dizara Region with an explosion of Divine Power, locking the whole region down and sending massive waves of panic, not just among the residents of the Lower World, but also those who came down for entertainment.
