Uchiha Sasuke: Through The Multiverse - Chapter 16
* * * * *
–[I, who is about to awaken,–]
[Am the White Dragon Emperor who will take the law down to the darkness–]
It seems he still has something up his sleeve.
– – – – –
Fine then, I shall also get a little serious.
However, just as Sasuke prepared to use the Mangekyou again–.
With the moon floating within the night sky in the background, a single silhouette swooped down and swiftly came into the space between Sasuke and Vali.
It was a man wearing armor that would be worn by a military commander of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
“Vali, I’ve come for you.”
“Bikou. What have you come for?”
“Isn’t that cruel? I made a long journey all the way to this island country because my partner is in a pinch, you know? We’re joining together to fight the northern country Gods and you were supposed to flee and return right away if the mission failed, right? It seems you lost badly against the Sekiryuutei. Cattleya also failed to ȧssassinate any of the Three Faction leaders. In that case, your role is also over. Come back with me.”
“…I see, so it’s already time.”
– – – – –
“Sasuke-kun!”
A bunch of voices could be heard calling Sasuke’s name and a familiar man swooped down beside him.
It was the man who Sasuke had met a couple of times before.
“The descendant of the Victorious Fighting Buddha, Bikou.”
“Kakaka! Nice to meet you, Governor-dono and the Sekiryuutei.” Bikou replied with a cackle.
“Azazel, huh? It seems you defeated Cattleya at the cost of an arm. Well, she was no match for you in the first place.”
Azazel sighed.
“Vali, I am still a little shocked that you joined a terrorist organisation.”
“I got the offer while I was en-route returning Kokabiel to headquarters. Sorry, Azazel. This side seems to be more interesting.”
Azazel glanced over at Sasuke before he focused his attention back on Vali.
“The descendant of the previous generation’s Maou Lucifer who died, the Hakuryuukou. It seems you had a hard battle against the Sekiryuutei.”
The girls who had finally arrived at the scene, were shocked upon hearing the name ‘Lucifer’.
“No way… That can’t be…”
Rias, who was standing beside Sasuke, also wore an astonished expression on her face.
“Uchiha Sasuke. This battle is your win. I clearly underestimated your prowess. You were certainly holding back during that fight. But–”
Bikou spun around a cane that had appeared in his hand and pierced it into the ground.
Instantly, a black darkness spread over the ground and enveloped both Vali and Bikou, making them completely sink into it.
So, they intend to escape, huh–
“The next time we meet, it will be even more intense. Uchiha Sasuke, I will fight you with all my strength in our next battle. And I expect you to do the same–”
Stopping mid-sentence just there, the Hakuryuukou vanished into the darkness along with Bikou.
Azazel faced Sasuke.
“You are not going to chase after them?’
Sasuke shook his head.
“They are not worth my time–”
– – – – –
The armies of the three big powers had come in and carried away the corpses of the dead Magicians.
“So you were safe. Thank goodness. — Azazel, what happened to that arm?”
Sirzechs gestured his hand at Asia and she responded by applying her recovery Sacred Gear on the opening of the wound. Pale green light healed the wound but the lost arm wasn’t fixed.
“I was caught by Cattleya and nearly self-destructed along with her. I had no choice but to cut it off.”
“I also…caused trouble with Vali.”
“…So he betrayed you.”
“From the start, he was a guy that pursued only power. –However, it’s my responsibility that I didn’t stop it from happening. Thankfully, the Sekiryuutei was there to stop him.”
“Sasuke-kun? I see, so he was the one who stopped the Hakuryuukou–”
Sirzechs looked around at a group of people before he questioned Rias.
“Rias, where is Sasuke-kun?”
Rias turned around and stared away into a distance far off.
“He said there was nothing more for him to do here so he left. It seems there was something he needed to do–”
Her tone carried a trace of loneliness.
– – – – –
Heaven’s representative Head Angel Michael, Governor Azazel of the Fallen Angel central organisation Grigori, the Underworld’s representative Maou Sirzechs Lucfier, with these representatives of the Three Great Powers, a peace treaty was signed.
Thereafter, disputes between the Three Great Powers were prohibited in the framework of cooperation.
“And so, from today on, I’ll be the adviser of this Occult Research Club. Please call me Azazel-sensei. Or Governor is fine too.”
Wearing a worn out suit, Azazel was in the club room of the Occult Research Club.
“…Why are you here?”
Touching her forehead with her hand, Rias was in a perplexed state.
“Hah! I was requested to take this position by Sirzechs.”
“Wait, what about that arm? Didn’t you lose one of them?”
Rias pointed at Azazel’s arm.
“Ah, this. It’s a genuine artificial arm that I produced while researching Sacred Gears. It’s an all-purpose arm that can be loaded with light power-style laser beams and tiny missiles.”
Bashu!
Azazel’s hand flew out.
“The conditions for me staying at this school is that I make the immature Sacred Gears possessed by the Devils of the Gremory family grow. The Sekiryuutei is not a devil but he is already plenty strong enough so there is nothing I can teach him. You guys have also heard about it, but there is a weird organization called the Khaos Brigade. I know that Vali has his own team. We’re temporarily calling it the [Hakuryuukou Team.] Several people are gathering around the ones who’ve been identified at present, including–”
Azazel looked over at Koneko.
“The S-Class stray Devil, Kuroka.”
Koneko’s face instantly changed as she clutched both her fists.
Azazel continued.
“Well, Vali and the others are probably not going to attack anytime soon. But–”
“Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, I will make sure to train you guys real good.”

“–And that is the report from Michael-dono, Odin-sama.”
“Those youngsters have sprung back up. It’s a bold thing pretending to be God, that damn Michael.”
“It was unexpected that the God recorded in the Holy Bible has died.”
“Hmph–That youngster Michael, that fake Lucifer and that naughty kid Azazel, it’s a play gathering of little brats.”
“Then, shall we teach them what we, the Asgard, the true Gods, are like?”
“Freyr, I won’t be able to respond to a war engulfing the world after so long with my old body. However, what I’m interested in particularly is–”
“The Sekiryuutei and the Hakuryuukou.”
“The parting gift left behind by God–”
“The Longinus.”
– – – – –
“That is the report on the Hakuryuukou and the Sekiryuutei.”
“So what now? Is it about time that we, the Hero-faction, which consists of the descendants of Heroes, act? Cao Cao.”
“And here I was having fun gathering those with talents. It seems that the Red and White are stronger than we expected. Especially that Sekiryuutei–”
“His true power is still largely unknown. During the battle with the Hakuryuukou, it seems he was still holding back.”
“But in the near future, we will have to act whether we like it or not. The thing which resides in you won’t allow you to stay like that. That Ultimate Longinus…”
“-[True Longinus] huh.”
“After all, the ones who defeats the Maou, monsters and dragons…”
“Have always been the heroes and yuusha.”
– – – – –
“Is this the place, Kinshiki?”
Two distinct figures with pale skin, dressed in traditional nobleman’s attire could be seen walking through a seemingly endless desert.
“That’s right, Momoshiki-sama.”
“It seems that Rinnegan user jumped through a portal from this dimension. Now that we are here, I’m able to connect to the gateway that man jumped through.”
The Rinnegan on Momoshiki’s left palm started glowing and he raised it in front.
Instantly, a black hole large enough for a person to walk through manifested and a separate dimension could be seen through it.
“Hou–”
“Interesting–”
“To think this would enable us to connect with a totally different dimension.”
“Let’s go, Kinshiki.”
– – – – –
Sasuke was now alone in a park late at night and in the grim darkness, a peculiar sight stood out.
A dark oval shape spiral started distorting through the atmosphere.
However–
The portal soon disappeared and Sasuke received a slight feedback in his left eye.
I see–
It seems the Rinnegan power is slowly coming back.
Sasuke looked up into the never ending darkness of the sky.
– – – – –
Very soon–
