Soulbound: A Hero's Rebirth (MHA, Undertale, DxD crossover)

**Chapter 9: The Mysterious Visitor**

The next few days after the encounter with Raynare were filled with a palpable sense of unease. The fallen angels' interest in Izuku's unique power had left Rias and her peerage on edge. Despite the temporary calm, Izuku couldn't shake the feeling that they were being watched.

One evening, while the peerage gathered at the Gremory residence, a mysterious figure appeared at the gate. The figure was cloaked in a dark, hooded robe, concealing their face. Rias and her peerage were immediately on high alert, their senses sharpened by recent events.

The figure approached with a purposeful stride, their presence radiating a sense of authority and power. Izuku's instincts flared, and he could feel Sans stirring within him, sensing the strange aura of the visitor.

"Who goes there?" Rias demanded, her voice firm but cautious.

The cloaked figure removed their hood, revealing an enigmatic woman with long, flowing silver hair and piercing violet eyes. She exuded an aura of calm confidence that contrasted sharply with her intimidating appearance.

"I am Lilith," the woman introduced herself. "I've come with a warning."

Rias and her peerage exchanged wary glances. "A warning about what?" Rias asked, her tone guarded.

Lilith's gaze settled on Izuku, a knowing look in her eyes. "The fallen angels you encountered are but a small part of a larger scheme. Their interest in you, Izuku, is no coincidence. There are forces beyond your current understanding that are seeking to exploit your powers."

Izuku frowned, his mind racing. "What do you mean? How do you know about my abilities?"

Lilith's eyes softened slightly. "I have my ways. What's important now is that you remain vigilant. There are others who would use your power for their own ends. I advise you to trust no one completely, not even those who appear to be allies."

Rias stepped forward, her expression a mix of suspicion and concern. "And why should we trust you?"

Lilith's gaze met Rias's with a calm assurance. "Because I have no reason to deceive you. I am here to offer guidance and protection, but ultimately, it is up to you to navigate the dangers ahead."

As Lilith turned to leave, she glanced back at Izuku. "Be careful, Izuku. Your journey is only beginning, and the path ahead is fraught with peril."

With that, Lilith disappeared into the night, leaving Rias and her peerage with more questions than answers. Izuku felt a shiver run down his spine, the weight of Lilith's words settling heavily on him.

Sans's voice echoed in his mind. "Well, that was cryptic. But hey, at least we know we're not the only ones who think this place is weird."

Izuku nodded, trying to process the encounter. "Yeah, I guess we'll have to be extra cautious from now on."
