Space whales? Nope rather deal with devils.

Chapter 90

Gragg Forneus wasn't anything special, frankly. He was in fact, only a high-class devil in name only, and probably only had true High-Class power when he was on his infamous, heavily enchanted pirate ship with his peerage.

So having smashed Gragg's face in and the other devil nobles giving me dirty looks for ruining the rating game. While also looking me with greed, and lust at Bibbi Dong, and Qian Renxue as we talked about the other Rating Games we saw that were of real value.

We decided to just leave the Underworld as to our cultivator senses, the Underworld itself was filled with an uncomfortable form of spiritual energy, honestly. Sure, we could get used it, but who wanted to get used to the fumes of cut onions being held to their face?

I just sent Sona a message that we were leaving, as it was clear that we weren't welcome currently at this high society mini party anyway. And without another word, we literally just teleported back home to my mansion that was between Kyoto and Kuoh.

"Well, that was quite a lovely little party, the thinly veiled disdainful looks was far more pleasant than people going out of their way to court death in insulting one another more verbally." Qian Renxue noted with a dry tone.

My lips twitched at her words and I shook my head before I asked curiously. "So how is your training of the Quintuplets going?"

Both Bibbi Dong, and Qian Renxue's face pinched before Qian said with a wry smile. "Ahh being of Spirit Hall, whose main goal the eradication of evil spirit masters, those quintuplets put me in an off spot with their talent as vampires."

My own face pinched at the realization of what she meant and I said with a wry smile. "Ah yes... They can grow stronger a lot faster and naturally as well with drinking blood, especially from more powerful entities, but said blood doesn't need to be from the death of others."

I shrugged, and then I said thoughtfully. "Hmm, while I am out, I should try to get the blood of monsters and more powerful people I deal with anyway."

Bibbi Dong then coughed and said in some amusement. "Those girls do have some potential, especially when they master combined soul skills and Martial Spirit merging. But other than that, Jake I have drawn up a list of some applicants from some dryads and beings of nature to look after your herb gardens and when proven, those immortal herbs."

Not to be outdone, Qian Renxue also shared some talents she was considering in recruiting to our new Spirit Hall that would be focused on the protection of humanity.

Then came the clincher as Bibbi Dong asked seriously. "Now, Jake for the humans that join us... Should we help them unlock their Martial Spirits as well?"

It was a heavy question, obviously and after a good minute of thought, I said. "No... Not yet at least, I need to find a way to make artificial Spirit Rings on-mass before we go aiding people in opening their martial souls."

As I could feel the Soul Beasts in my soul being ready to throw down if I came close to asking if we could have them make spirit rings on-mass.

Either way, our conversations continued in the meeting room as I also noted that I needed to go meet up with Seekvaria Agares or another Agares clan member to steal the secrets of their time control.

It was... The lynchpin needed for my idea to be mass-produced, anyway.

"Hmm, you say this girl, who is the heiress of their clan, has an obsession for mechanical constructs called mecha? Why not simply grab a few from another world then to enlist her aid through your connections with Sona who is a friend of hers?" Qian said rather wisely.

It was generally my plan from the get go, though I didn't want to rely on my connection with Sona to introduce us... Until I realized that Sona herself had no shame in using me to fight her battles.

So there was no shame to be had in me using her to win a social battle anyway.

"That's a fair point... However, I would rather not spend at least a week in a universe that lacks any method of personal growth for me. As most mecha come from worlds and universes that rely entirely on science."

Well, I could go to like Doulou Dalu three's timeline to get mecha that were extremely powerful but I was... Tapped on Doulou Dalu even if it would be good for me to possibly snag another soul beast to enter my soulscape.

Then with a moment of thought, I had a thought. 'Actually, if I went to Code Geass... How would a Geass affect my own Mystic Eyes of Death Perception? Would it upgrade them with their connection to their worlds version of Akasha?'

If I could upgrade my eyes to the level of like Void Shiki who could kill planets and concepts... That would certainly be worth it. Still, I was also considering popping over to the universe of Worm as there was also the option of learning the time manipulation from like Grey Boys time loop bubbles.

And while I was in the world of Worm, I could take a gander at killing some of the lesser targets on interest that allowed my reincarnation. 

Like, who in Brockton Bay was actually a threat to me at this point? Lung? I could kill him with a mundane pocket knife due to my mystic eyes. Hell, the only real things I feared in Worm were the Entities, Endbringers, that damned Path to Victory and Eidolon himself.

'If I upgrade my eye's to a more powerful state, and hell actually getting the Geass would also enhance my Soul itself due to it opening the mindscape as well for my Soul Beast friends.'

'I could kill Scion without too many issues with eyes at the level of Void Shiki's.' I mused to myself before rejoining the conversation, before my face twitched as my phone rang and I saw the call was from Rias.

Not to mention... If I went to Code Geass, I would have the chance to rail C.C's tight ass, possibly if I played my cards right.

"One second, ladies." I said before taking the call. "What's going on Rias?" I asked curiously.

And there was a moment of silence before Rias's slightly awkward tone reached through the phone as she asked. "Jake, I am sorry to ask but my Sister-in-Law has a big favor to ask and I was hoping you could come over to talk about it?"

I blinked as I wondered what Grayfia would want from me. A treasure? Some of my people entering a devil's peerage, or something else?

Still, I had... A strong bond of fucking Rias and Akeno on the regular. To say nothing of my feelings for the two and the rest of Rias's peerage who were very good friends of mine. So I said firmly.

"Give me like ten minutes to wrap up this conversation and get washed up... I still stink of Gragg somehow. Can you wait for me Rias?" I finished a bit teasingly.

And Rias snorted and said in a bit of a flirty tone. "Oh... I can be patient, but you will have to make Akeno forgive you though."

I chuckled at the thought of Akeno acting needy and demanding to be rewarded for her patience. So I just said easily. "Alright, alright, just gimme a few and I will teleport over."

Still before I went ahead and world-hopped. I was going to consider my options and address some issues here in DXD... As I was already missing Yasaka and my adorable Kunou for example.
