Entering The World Of High School DxD - Chapter 60 Divine Damnation And Failure

30 minutes was the shorts amount of time I needed in order to balance out the four energies in my body with 3 hours being the longest. However, for some reason this time I took a full day in order to complete. {A/N: He’s in UBW right now and time in there is 10 times longer than Earth’s so 24 hours is only 2 hour and 24 minutes outside}

Rather than rush the process I instead slowly took strands of the four energies and mixed those together before circulating them within my body. Once one strand was finished I would create another one slowly withering down the energy sources. By the time I was finished 12 hours had passed and I created a total of 400 energy strands coursing through my body.

After the strands were formed I started to fuse each strand into another while making sure they didn’t fall apart again. Soon 400 became 100, and 100 became 10 until the last 10 turned into 4. In the end, by the time 4 strand was formed each of them had become a mixture of the original 4 energies.

I didn’t know why I did this since rather than actually thinking about it I instead followed my instincts and went with the flow. Following my instincts once more I sent these four strands into four different locations of my body. One went into my bones, another went into my flesh, the next one went into my organs, and the last one entered my veins.

Following this, my mind entered a state of enlightenment only to be followed by a sudden burst of pain coming from my blood. It was sudden but it was strong enough to pull me out of my enlightenment. So I endured the pain and tried to focus on staying calm, so much so that I missed the notifications coming from my system.

*Ding* [Host has started attacking the barrier between realms thus calling upon Divine Retribution. Divine Retribution is a test given by the Heaven’s to see if one is worthy to ascend further beyond the realm of humanity. If Host can endure the baptism of lightning then Host will step onto the Ultimate Rank and awaken Host’s bloodline. However, if Host can’t endure the baptism then Host will be greatly injured and have to try again once Host’s wounds are healed.]

*Ding* [Because Host has the blood of seven primordial beings who have previously gone against the Heaven’s the Divine Retribution has become Divine Damnation! Any injuries caused by Divine Damnation will affect not only the body but also the soul. It is advised to proceed with caution!]

{3rd Person POV}

It happened out of nowhere most of the eastern hemisphere was covered in dark grey clouds. There was no warning nor any weather reports predicting this, it was as if the sky had a mind of its own. In 10 minutes these clouds formed surrounding the country Japan, 1 hour after that it started to hail viciously, and by the time 2 hours passed bolts of multicolored lightning were seen throughout the land.

Even cities from the mainland could hear the thunder coming from Japan. To normal people, it was just thunder but to people of the supernatural world what they heard were beast roars. Everyone got chills when they heard this, and when they looked at the night sky they could see faint silhouettes of beast flying in the sky.

But it wasn’t just the earth that was experiencing strange phenomenons so was the Underworld and Heaven. In Heaven, the usually bright skies darkened and golden lightning appeared, however, unlike the lightning on Earth this lightning made no sound and instead released a sacred aura. This aura was so sacred that even some pure angels prostrated before it like it was the original biblical God. Even the archangels who were created by the biblical God personally felt the sudden urge to bow down before it, and this urge became more apparent when they saw the faint silhouette of a humanoid figure floating in the air.

Opposite to the situation in Heaven however, the Underworld was in a state of disarray. Just like on Earth and Heaven the Underworld’s sky was also covered in clouds but unlike the normal storm on earth, or the sacred storm in Heaven instead, the Underworld’s sky had a sinister aura coming from it. Instead of thunder the sounds coming from the storm were sounds of misery and despair.

Black lightning raged everywhere, and a sinister silhouette could be seen in the sky controlling the storm from its core. It was as if a demon had descended and decided to wreak havoc in the Underworld. Even the 4 Moau’s the strongest Devils in the Underworld had their hands full trying to defend the cities from being destroyed by the storm, if things continued it was uncertain what would become of the Underworld.

All 3 realms were disarray due to the sudden storms plaguing their skies, Dominance, Worship, Dispair each of the storms had at least one of these auras, and for another 2 hours the storms ragged until at the peak of the second our a blot of lightning the size of a babies arm shot down from each of the storms,

The lightning in Heaven and the Underworld was shot into a rift in reality, while the lightning on Earth fell on top of the City of Kouh. Many thought that the city would be destroyed but right as the lightning was about 3 meters from hitting the ground it vanished. Soon after the skies started to settle down before eventually showing a once more peaceful sky. Many wondered what happened that night but no one could find any answers and reluctantly gave up, but the sense of caution they felt never went away.

While everyone was trying to recover from the aftershock of the storm there was 1 individual who was calmly watching the sky even after the storm went away.

??? – Was that a Dragon God? …no there should only be Great Red and I that was something different. It wasn’t alone either…strange.

Standing above one of the world tallest mountains stood a small girl. She had raven black hair that reached all the way down to her hips, with black eyes, and ears with pointy tips instead of round ones. Usually, she had an expressionless face but, at that moment she stared at the sky with a face full of curiosity.

{Yu’s POV:}

Another day passed while I was meditating but right when I stepped out of my state of enlightenment I finally notice the notification of the system. Questions started to pop up in my head but before I could even question the system sounds of thunder could be heard above my head.

Just from the sounds of the thunder alone, my instincts went wild telling me that if I was hit by the lightning I’d no dought die. Leaving nothing to chance I released the seals on my body and let all of my body strengthening skills. Following that, I opened Gates of Babylon and released Rho Aias.

*BBOOOOOMMM!!!!*

By the time this was done seven multicolored lightning fell down from the sky and instantly broke Rho Aias. Though Rho Aias weaken the lightning it didn’t stop it and the remaining lightning hit my body breaking through all of my defenses causing me to puke up blood as fell on my back. The result of allowing the lightning to hit me was, a lot of broken bones, multiple muscle tears, and most of my flesh was burned turning me into more of a skeleton than a person.

*Ding* [Host be careful the Divine Damnation is over yet!!!]

Yu – F**K!!!!

Seeing black lightning forming in the sky I forced myself to my feet and once again tried to defend myself from the Divine Damnation. I gathered my mana into my left fist and opened Gates of Babylon once more causing many golden magic circles to appear with many weapons at there center.

*BBOOOOOMMM!!!!*

Seeing the lightning coming I willed Gates of Babylon to release every weapon I had towards the lightning to act as a conductor attracting the lightning towards them scattering the lightning in multiple directions. Any lightning that got through my weapons continued to come my way, but before I was hit I threw a punch in the air and an Azure Dragon appeared from my fist facing the lightning head on.

Yu – S**T!!!

Unfortunately, while the Azure Dragon was able to stop the lightning it was for a moment before small strands of lightning made their way towards my already wounded body. However, instead of this lightning damaging my physical body it instead aimed for my sea of consciousness. If that was damaged I might have become mentally crippled, but fortunately, my mental resistance is strong so I only briefly dazed.

*Ding* [HOST WATCH OUT!!!]

*BBOOOOOMMM!!!!*

Yu – F-

After the black lightning cloud faded a golden lightning cloud formed and immediately golden lightning rain down from the sky. Leaving everything to chance I used [Void Demon Form] while a golden turtle shell shield surrounded my body. Sadly Divine Damnation wasn’t Divine Damnation for nothing.

The lightning tore through the shield and hit my incorporeal body injuring my soul. After that, the lightning clouds faded away and didn’t come back. Alas while I was able to survive the Divine Damnation I felt that because I hid from the lightning by entering void state I didn’t get recognized by the Heaven’s and couldn’t ascend towards the Ultimate rank.

Realizing this I became depressed and released my void state. Once I did I felt my body begin to collapse on itself causing me to fall face first on the ground.

*Ding* [Because of Host’s current state the system has decided to use the skills [Energy Furnace] and [Suzaku’s Rebirth] to help in Host’s recovery. Unfortunately, Host’s body has become polluted by Heavenly Lightning causing hindering Host’s body from truly recovering. It is estimated that it’ll take 2 weeks for the Heavenly Lightning to naturally fade away. Only then will Host be able to completely recover.]

*Ding* [Because of certain circumstance the system will be going into a hibernation period. In this period the system will go through an update and the only options available to the host will be the status screen.]

Yu – *sigh*

While I was glad that I survived the Divine Damnation I was still disappointed that I could fully step into the Ultimate Rank. So much so that I didn’t even look at my status. This was officially the first time I’ve failed since I came to this world.
