Uchiha Sasuke: Through The Multiverse - Chapter 5

* * * * *

Sasuke was standing outside the house which Rias had promised him.

It was a large, six story terrace house, with a light blue exterior, a brown roof, and a balcony at the top.

I didn’t ask her to build me a hotel.

– – – – –

Sasuke sat down on the bed in one of the rooms and his mind started wandering off.

He clasped his hand over his left eye.

It seems the Rinnegan’s power is not fully back yet.

To think that there would really be Gods and Devils in this world. What a joke.

[ Hou, you look pretty hot and bothered there, brat. ]

A mysterious voice echoed inside Sasuke’s head.

It was a low voice with an impact in it.

Hmph, you finally show yourself, Sasuke replied back inside his mind.

A Crimson Gauntlet appeared on Sasuke’s right arm as a gigantic monster started transpiring in his head.

It had big green eyes and a jaw that went up to it’s ears; protruded with sharp fangs.

A thick horn lined up on it’s forehead and the scales which covered the body was red like magma.

The thick arms and legs resembled a gigantic tree.

More than that, a pair of wings that projected out from it’s back made the monster look even bigger.

In front of Sasuke’s eyes, there was–

A Dragon.

[ Hou, Brat, you do not seem surprised at my entrance. I’m trying to read into your thoughts but your memories are completely locked in. Interesting… ]

[ I am known as one of the Two Heavenly Dragons, the Welsh Dragon, Y Ddraig Goch. ]

And? Why did you bother to appear now?

[ Back at the park, I vaguely remember being transferred over to someone. But…my memories from before that are hazy. I only regained consciousness just a while ago]

Why are you residing inside this gauntlet?

[ At one point, while continuing my battle with my arch-rival, the Vanishing Dragon, Albion, we were interrupted by the Angels, Devils, and Fallen Angels who were at war during the time. In anger, both of us attacked the leaders of the Three Factions, which led to our bodies being destroyed and our souls being sealed into two separate Sacred Gears, with me being placed inside the Sacred Gear “Boosted Gear.” ]

[ Over the past centuries, many individuals have wielded the “Boosted Gear.” But, out of all my past possessors, I can feel that you are someone special. ]

[ Yes, the possessor of the “Divine Dividing” Sacred Gear, which houses the spirit of my arch-rival, Albion. The white one will appear before you sooner or later. He and I are destined to fight. Every single past possessor of the “Boosted Gear” and “Divine Dividing” have followed this inevitable fate. ]

Tch, another meddlesome affair.

[ By the way, in your current form, you won’t be able to use much of my power ]

Sasuke glanced down at his missing left arm.

[ Without that arm, you can never achieve Balance Breaker of the Sacred Gear. It is a forbidden move and the evolved form of Sacred Gears in which their full potential can be unleashed. You will still be able to use ‘Boost’ but you will not be able to efficiently harness the true power of the “Boosted Gear” without that arm. ]

[ Of course, if you wish, with my power, I can produce an entirely new one for you. With your strength, you should be able to control its power. ]

My arm huh…

This is a punishment for my wrongdoings in the past.

Sasuke looked down at his missing arm again.

“The first thing we should do is ask Ajuka-Sama about the circumstances surrounding Sasuke-kun, since he will not be a part of our peerage in the rating games.”

Kiba shifted his gaze over to Rias as he pointed out their next course of action.

“We don’t have time to spare. The rating game between Riser will commence in a few days.”

Rias started biting her thumb.

“Sasuke-san, don’t you wish to sit down?” Asia asked Sasuke, who shook his head while leaning against a corner on the wall.

“Sasuke–”

It happened exactly when Rias spoke. A magic circle started to glow on the floor.

However, the symbol of the Gremory drawn on the magic-circle started changing into an unfamiliar pattern.

A Phoenix.

The light started blinding the room and a person stepped out from the magic circle.

FLAME!

Flames started spewing out from the magic-circle and the room was overwhelmed with heat.

However, Sasuke didn’t even flinch as he continued watching.

A silhouette of a man was inside the flames.

“Fuu, it’s been a while since I came to the human world.”

The man standing there was wearing a red suit with a shirt opened till his ċhėst.

The guy started looking around the room and smirked when his eyes landed on Rias.

“Raiser Phenex.”

“My lovely Rias. I came to see you.”

Raiser started approaching Rias.

“Now then, Rias. Let’s go and take a look at the ceremony hall. The date has already been decided so we need to check it before then.”

So this is the guy engaged to Rias. No wonder she dosen’t want to marry him.

Sasuke could not help but reveal a small smile from the corner of his lips.

This will be interesting.

Asia had taken a position behind Sasuke and was clutching a corner of his shirt.

“My, the tea made by Rias’s [Queen] is superb.”

“Thank you very much.” Akeno lightly bowed.

Rias was sitting on the sofa while Riser carelessly sat next to her as he held her shoulders.

“Stop it already!”

Rias angry voice echoed through the room as she stood up and glared sharply at Riser.

“Raiser, I told you before. I don’t intend to marry you.”

“I’m going to take a husband. But, I will marry someone I want to be with.”

Riser slowly shook his head while smirking.

“The entire demon world struggles to preserve the lineages of pure-blooded devils after the last war made them a rarity. Our fathers arranged this marriage for the common good.”

However, Rias remained insistent.

“I won’t say it twice, Raiser. I’m not going to marry you.”

Hearing that, Riser suddenly became unpleasant as his eyes became sharper.

“You know, Rias. I’m the face of the Phenex family. I cannot have you sully my honor. I will bring you back to the Underworld, even if it means burning all your servants to death.”

CHILLS.

Raiser’s hostility and killing intent started filling the room and he made a stance against Rias.

The flames started gathering around Riser’s back and formed into wings of flame. Exactly like a fire bird.

Just as Raiser was about to raise his hand against Rias, someone else had already advanced forward and gripped firmly to his hand before it could be swung down.

Raiser turned around as he looked at the culprit who actually had the audacity to stop him.

“Huh? Who the hell are you?! I’m going to beat the shit out of you.” He spat.

The male culprit wearing a cloak, however, remained indifferent and composed despite the threat .

“Sasuke–”

“Uchiha Sasuke.”
