Chapter 481 - The Plot Continues...

[Unknown Location, Kuoh Town] 

A blonde-haired woman dressed in a purple gothic lolita outfit was looking outside the window. The woman was probably in her twenties, and her short blond hair was adorned with numerous ribbons.

Overall, the woman was looking really cute and beautiful at the same time… 

The woman slowly turned around when someone knocked on the door. "Enter" the woman called out in a soft tone. Moments later, a woman in her thirties entered the room and respectfully bowed her head. 

"Greetings, milady" the woman in her thirties greeted the younger woman in a respectful tone and the younger woman simply waved her hand dismissively and gestured towards the couch. 

"Kamilla (OC), you can forgo the usual greetings, it is just the two of us" the younger woman said with a small smile as she approached the couch and made herself comfortable. The older woman now known as Kamilla followed the younger woman's example and sat down on the opposite side. 

"Then excuse me, Walburga" Kamilla said and the younger woman who was now known as Walburga smiled widely. 

"So, what have you found?" Walburga asked in a polite tone. 

"...I am afraid that we shouldn't attack right now" Kamilla said and Walburga immediately raised her eyebrows in question, so Kamilla decided to elaborate her report. 

"I have found that Yachiru Unohana is extremely close with the Devils and she has been training them… possibly for the upcoming Rating Games tournament and I think attacking in her presence will be devastating for our group" Kamilla said looking slightly nervous. 

Walburga scowled as she wasn't happy with the report, but she completely agreed with Kamilla. "I see… Yachiru Unohana could single-handedly eradicate our whole group and even I am not stupid enough to think that I could match her in direct combat" Walburga said grudgingly. 

Walburga is the current leader of the group of Witches called Hexennacht. She was an extremely strong Magician and at the same time, she was also the possessor of one of the Longinus, Incinerate Anthem. Walburga was an extremely dangerous woman, but so was Yachiru Unohana. 

Incinerate Anthem, also known as the Chief Mourner's Crucified Stand of Purple Flame. It is also one of the Three Holy Relics, alongside the True Longinus (Holy Spear), and Sephiroth Graal (Holy Grail). That is also why the Incinerate Anthem is extremely dangerous for the Devils. 

"For now, keep an eye over the Devils. We can wait for the tournament to be over. I am sure that Yachiru Unohana won't be there to cuddle them all the time" Walburga said in a polite tone, but her eyes were filled with a glimmer of madness… 

[Tepes Castle, Romania] 

"Marius, my good friend, I am glad that you were able to help me with the research" Rizevim said in a cheerful tone, even though he looked cheerful on the outside, but internally he was sneering at the half-breed vampire standing in front of him. 

He was only treating the Vampire nicely because the man was… is pretty useful. The man had given him access to one of the Longinus, Sephiroth Graal. The said Sacred Gear was one of the Holy Relics and it was easily one of the strongest Longinus. 

They have finally finished all the research they needed to do… Now, they only needed to see if the tests were successful or not. They were pretty sure that the tests were going to be successful, but they still needed to make sure before they could actively start using the Sephiroth Graal. 

"Of course! I am also glad that I was able to work with you!!" Marius exclaimed in a slightly excited tone. Most of the time, Marius would act very calm and well mannered, but in truth, he was a cruel and manipulative man. 

"But still, without you, we wouldn't have the access to Sephiroth Graal" Rizevim added and the Vampire standing in front of him simply snorted haughtily. 

"Well… that is the only useful thing about her" Marius said in a disdainful tone and Rizevim couldn't help but agree with the man. Anyways, he was simply using both Marius and Valarie Tepes for his own agenda, so he wasn't going to complain… 

[Ardat's Meteorite] 

Yachiru Unohana finally opened her eyes and she immediately noticed some significant changes. She felt an unbridled amount Power of coursing through her veins. She had never possessed this much Power coursing through her body. 

"So, how do you feel?" Ardat asked in a teasing tone and Yachiru finally stood up from the stone floor. Slowly clothes made out of physical darkness covered her naked body. 

"I feel good… no, I feel great" Yachiru said as she slowly raised her hand and clenched her fist tightly, creating a small shockwave. 

"Hey!! You better not destroy my Meteorite or…" Ardat snarked and decided to leave the threat hanging. A cruel smile appeared on Yachiru's face, but she still nodded her head in understanding. 

"Can you tell me more about my new powers?" Yachiru questioned in a hoarse tone. 

"Of course, I was already planning to… you need to control your Evil Energy Manipulation power or you might drive the lesser beings around you crazy" Ardat pointed out with a grin and a disappointed smile appeared on Yachiru's face. 

"Pity… I wanted to see what kind of effect my power has on humans" Yachiru said in a disappointed tone. 

"Ah… I can understand where you are coming from. I do that from time to time…" Ardat said with a grin. "Maybe sometime I will take you with me" Ardat added and Yachiru started to cackle. 

"I will be waiting" Yachiru said malevolently and licked her lips in excitement. 

"Ok. First of all, I am going to teach you how to control your Evil Energy Manipulation power, then I will show you how to control your Demonic Power. For you, it is a pretty insignificant power, but it is still there"

"Finally, I will teach you how to control your Hate Manipulation power" Ardat explained and a minute frown appeared on Yachiru's face. 

"How long will all these take?" Yachiru questioned and Ardat simply waved her hand. 

"The Evil Energy Manipulation power is the most important, the other powers aren't that urgent" Ardat said in a dismissive manner and Yachiru nodded her head in understanding. 

"Good… let's start then!" Ardat exclaimed in a cheerful tone and clapped her hands… 

[7th Heaven] 

"So, Ajuka, what can you tell me about the King Pieces?" Hela asked with a straight look on her face. For a moment Ajuka blinked in confusion, then his eyes immediately darted towards Diehauser Belial and Grayfia Lucifuge who were dutifully standing behind Hela. 

Ajuka Beelzebub knew that there was no use in trying to lie. The woman sitting in front of him probably knew a lot of things about the King Pieces. Though Ajuka had no idea how the woman came across information regarding the King Pieces. All of a sudden, Ajuka froze… 

'I can't believe those old geezers were so stupid to actually use them' Ajuka cursed inside his mind… 

"I can recreate all the research and hand it over to you" Ajuka said and Hela's eyes bore into the man's skull. The former Devil King cowered and shrunk in his chair… 

"I don't give a flying fuck about research. Do I look like a scientist to you??" Hela questioned in a dangerous tone and Ajuka immediately shook his head in fear. Ajuka prided himself to be a smart man, and he understood that his answer was really stupid. 

Hela leaned back in her throne-like chair and continued glaring at the former Devil King sitting on the opposite side of the table. "The thing is… I am very interested in these King Pieces" Hela said as her features slowly softened. 

"Lady Hela, I scraped them because they were really dangerous and at the same time, they have a huge weakness" Ajuka said in a nervous tone and Hela nodded her head. 

"I know all about them… but is there a way you can get rid of the weakness?" Hela said and Ajuka immediately looked down, feeling like a child being scolded by the strictest and most dangerous teacher in the world. 

"...I can't say… It is not like I haven't tried, but I haven't found a solution" after a moment of silence Ajuka said while shaking his head. Hela clicked her tongue in annoyance. 

Hela slowly pulled out her phone. Now that Ajuka was useless, she decided to contact Momo, Fleur, and Jean. The three of them had just finished recreating the Lifeline Formula yesterday, but the three of them didn't want to keep sitting around doing nothing, so Hela decided to give them another project. 

"I want all the King Pieces in your possession and you can extract the King Pieces, right?" Hela asked Ajuka while texting Momo. 

"Yes" Ajuka hurriedly agreed. This also confirmed Ajuka's previous suspicion. Someone was actively using the King Pieces to manipulate the results of the Rating Games. 

"Good… I will contact you if needed" Hela dismissed Ajuka. The man immediately scurried out of the room without wasting any time. 

"Lady Hela, then how are we going to use these King Pieces?" Diehauser Belial asked in a respectful tone. 

"I will be contacting some other experts. I am pretty sure that they would be able to fix the King Pieces" Hela said looking too sure of herself. "By the way, I think it is about time we meet the Devils in possession of the King Pieces…" Hela said and Diehauser Belial smiled. 

Grayfia nodded her head and immediately started to contact the said Devils…
