Soul King(DxD)

Dragon 20

 Y/N: C-Chotto Matte! Can we talk about this?

Of all the things Y/N might consider unexpected, this one climbed up the tier list.

Y/N: Xenovia, are you sure of your decision? Even if the church is a sham, your beliefs cannot be changed like that.

Xenovia: I don't believe I can back to the church now, I ignored the orders and left Irina aside. I couldn't tell her the truth about God, let alone listen to them now I know the truth.

Y/N sighed, he is fully aware that priests, bishops, and cardinals deliver their orders using the will of God as the main reason, his death delivers that all this so far is nothing but a lie, a lie of thousands of years of superiors using false divine will for their own merit.

Wasn't it exactly what the Catholic Church have done in the past?

Luckily Y/N isn't exactly religious.

He waved at her, a signal for her to follow, turning to walk back toward the house. Xenovia understood and started to follow on her own footsteps, just a few inches behind.

Y/N: What makes you want to serve me? There are other people you could join.

Xenovia: I saw you fight Kokabiel, defeated him without showing difficulty, sent a friend to save Irina, saved Kuoh without asking for anything in return... You are a god, a god who fights for people and punishes the unfair. Besides, who else would I join?

Y/N: The Gremory Group?

Xenovia: I admit joining them was something I thought about, but I let it go when I thought of you. Maybe I'll join the Gremory group if you turn me down... will you turn me down?

Y/N: ...No, but I am the god of death, Xenovia. Do you still think of me the same way?

She made a somewhat confused face, putting a finger to her lips and murmuring.

Xenovia: I stopped serving a dead god to wish to serve the god of death...

Saying it out loud made Y/N realize the irony of the situation, an amused smile escaped as he tried to not laugh, thankfully Xenovia couldn't see his face otherwise she'd realize how much fun he had with her.

Y/N: Do you still want to follow me?

Xenovia: ...Death is a gift. It is the end of all difficulties and sufferings, the delivery of absolute and eternal peace after the battle of living, It is an act of kindness.

That was... interesting to hear.

Xenovia: Watching you fight for Kuoh's sake, I can see that death is a gentle being, not a cruel and fearful skeleton as it is represented.

Y/N: ... Very well, when we get to my house we'll solve that there.

The rest of the way was silent, both didn't say anything, just witnessing the beautiful orange landscape caused by the sunset.

So Xenovia didn't go back to Church or ask to join the Gremory's family like Y/N thought, the idea of ​​someone asking to join him is something that wasn't on his plans. Zangetsu once said that strength causes attraction and respect for other individuals, this is a natural instinctive trait, even more in beings that have a hierarchy of power such as hollows and devils.

Basically, the more powerful you are, the more people will want to follow you, even if you don't have good charisma.

Not that Y/N believes that's fully influenced Xenovia, but if he's really going to become more and more powerful then it's only natural that a group of people will start joining him.
