Rings of God [Highschool DxD x OC]

Chapter 7

[March 9th, 2007]

The Khaos Brigade described Enzo in a few words that everyone agreed on.

He is Strong. He is Brave. He is Broken. All at once.

Anyone who doubted him was put through the ground, even the Leader of the Hero Faction the "strongest faction" of the group who wielded the first and strongest Sacred Gear was humiliated by him.

He wasn't a God, he was simply unbeatable. Even Ophis stated that it isn't sure if she could win without losing its own life. That is simply the existence of Enzo.

An existence where everyone was frightened of him. He didn't want this. He kept hoping that he would wake up in that orphanage in St. Louis. Back into the kind arms of Ms. Claire, even if he didn't dream at night anymore.

He hoped he awoke from this nightmare.

Omnipotence is too much for humans to handle.

Even now, he is getting further and further away from his dream of being a human.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Enzo looked around at the gray landscape around him. All his friends weren't moving and were void of any colors. Enzo looked at his hands which had four sigils rotating around his arm.

"I see." he simply spoke no emotion being heard in this soundless world. The world he froze. His body stopped gathering mana, and his endless supply of mana from his noble phantasm was frozen in time.

Only the remaining mana in his own body existed, he tried to cry, he wanted to cry, he begged to cry. But was unable to.

He came to terms with not being a human anymore, yet he desired it so much. He wants life of complete ignorance only being curious about what's in front of him slowly waiting for his death. 

Even now he wants death, but he has too many things to live for. Kuroka, Le Fay, Arthur, Elaine, Ophis. And Bikou I suppose. He doesn't want to leave them, call it selfless all you want he doesn't want them to leave, to get hurt, to die.

Yet that day will have to come eventually. Ophis may be immortal but it can always be killed, even those discarded from Death can taste his blade in the end. But for him... he has connected his body to Akasha.

It would be wise to say that he is an extension of the thing that it was. Only because his body is not of flesh and blood but of magic. He only dies, when all magic in the multiverse dies. And in the ever-expanding plane, it won't. 

But for his plan to work, he needed to connect to it. After all, the final boss was never Great Red. That is a story for another time, they don't need that stress. There are three humans, after all, stress can damage their bodies.

Enzo sighed and the sigils on his arms stopped and started to reverse in their spinning motion. The color suddenly came back the 'I see.' that Enzo spoke earlier went through the room.

"You see what?" Kuroka asked Enzo looking at her, "Ah I successfully stopped time." Kuroka is used to these kinds of things now, "Is that so? What're you planning on doing with that? Something naughty~?"

Everyone stared at her with 'the look' that started to make her self-conscious. Enzo shook his head, "Nothing yet. I was able to stop my time but that was not the goal. But I think it's time to depart on my mission. The wielder of Ddraig is a chess piece that I need to exploit fast."

A new sad atmosphere was present in the room, they'd seen Enzo every day for years he's practically everyone's brother... minus Kuroka.

Le Fay spoke up, "Do you have to leave?" she asked sadly, the now fourteen-year-old girl spoke, "The supernatural world is being more cautious because of our bold moves lately, I'm heading into devil territory having anyone else is a security risk."
