Omake 2: What If?

3rd Person P.O.V

On the top of a cliff, a man was waving his hands as if he were a conductor of an opera.

But there was no band in front of him, no music players nor tenors or divas to interpret his play.

There was no need for that.

After all, the world was his theater.

Beneath the cliff, there was a sight that could only be described with one word.

Hell.

Bolts of Lightning became his light show.

The loud noises and rumbles that were generated by the uncountable number of thunders became his percussion.

Screams of the agonizing devils being burnt alive at the holy-demonic fire that would not let them die became his chorus.

The shrieks of despair coming from the Angels whose wings became tainted without any apparent reason became his harmony.

The howls of the Fallen Angels at the suffering of having their wings plucked, feather by feather became his legato.

His pit was full of the golden blood of the fallen gods, which kept whining at the suffering of their still-open wounds.

"Are you enjoying the play, Faker?"  The man asked without looking back, still concentrating on the sight in front of him. "Such a beautiful sight, don't ya think?" The man asked while there was no hint of lies in his voice, he truly believed so.

Behind the man in question, a devil was struggling to get free of the silver chains that were piercing his flesh. But all of his endeavors were futile. "Why-are you… doing this?" The devil, questioned with difficulty.

"I have done nothing."  The man said dismissively, not even bothering to look back at the devil.

The devil in question gritted his teeth in sheer anger at the man's dismissive answer. "Done nothing you said?!" The eyes of the devil became red as the color of his hair.

"You call this abomination in front of you nothing!" The devil screamed at the top of his lungs as the chains kept him on a tight leash, digging deeper into his body. 

"You call killing my people, taking down my allies, and desecrating my family, doing nothing!!!" The red-haired devil. 

"I think that we are having a misconception here, I really did nothing." The man said pausing for a brief moment. "All of you did this." 

"I do not remember being the one that used the name of a dead person to justify any of my biddings. Who encaged themselves in the comfort of the place that they call home and ignored their mission of protecting humanity, because they were too scared of dying" The man said moving his right hand towards the direction of the former Angels who were grieving their falling from grace.

"Nor the one that trowed his wage at the weaker Factions, killing, kidnaping, raping, and many more infinitives that could possibly be used to describe the atrocities committed by them while their leader could not careless as he was too busy playing around with any whore that crossed his way or just playing with his trinkets." His left hand moved toward the direction of the Fallen Angels who were being tortured by other races. 

"Certainly, I was not the one who ignored the prayers of their believers, who were suffering because of the injustices instigated by the ones like you. Who held too much power in your hands that no one would make you accountable for your actions, either because they were too scared to do something about it or did not care to begin with as they could be replaced with time." The man said tapping his foot earning some hurtful groans from the gods beneath his foot.

"And I am absolutely sure that I was not the one who systematically slaved people from other races and turned into your race, with the excuse that your race was on the brink of extinction, something that you all brought to yourselves if I may add. Some hunting [Sacred Gear] wielder to add some strength to your mediocre faction, some others tricked people into their [Peerage] with the illusion of a better life just to become entitled slaves, or the worst one who did not even care to hide their hideous intentions and just straight up murdered them and reincarnated them because of their lust raped them until they became nothing but empty husks of their former selves like it was the case with your best friend little brother." Both of his hands moved in the direction where many "Pure-Blooded" Devils were being murdered and being inflicted on the same torture they once inflicted upon their [Peerage] members.

And for the first time, the man turned his gaze, staring directly at the devil with his heterochromatic eyes "So no, I did not do anything, you all brought this upon yourselves." 

"So, what are you doing?! A crusade for retribution for all the misdeeds that have been inflicted on humans?! You think that you are better than us while doing the exact things that you are condemning us for doing!." Sirzechs Gremory yelled out aloud giving the man a hateful glare. "Who are you!?" 

"Kukuku hahaha hahaha!" A small chuckle left the mouth of the man at first, but then another one a little bit louder proceeded, and another after that, until it became a full maniacal crackle as the man held his forehead with his right hand. That laugh contained a lot of feelings behind it, arrogance, contempt, mocking, disdain, disbelief, and above all of that…amusement. 

"Retribution for the misdeed inflicted on humanity, you say? What a fool. "The man said with absolute contempt in his voice. "I did not say all of this because I believe that I am on a moral high ground." 

"I am just stating the facts." The man said with no falsehood in his voice. 

Sirzechs Gremory gritted even harder his teeth making blood come out of his mouth. "Then why did you do all of this!?" The "Satan" asked being outraged. "We tried our best to bring stability to the supernatural world! To bring peace! But you ruined everything!" 

"You seriously do not recognize me, do you?" The man said with a little bit of humor in his voice.

The man in question is a tall man almost reaching 1.90 meters, wearing what looked to be an expensive black suit with silver decorations. His silver hair was stylish in a two-block with bangs. But what stood up the most the most was his bi-colored eyes, his left one being red as blood with a slit pupil and his right one being of a golden color which contrasted with his hair. 

"Maybe a little help will refresh your memory." As he said so he passed his hand through his face changing his appearance. 

Sirzech's eyes widened in surprise looking at the man's face. "You…" Was the only thing that he was able to mutter in his incredulity. 

Instead of the face of a man, the face of a young man in his late teens was in front of Sirchenzs. Instead of the previous stylish silver hair, obsidian black hair with bags on his forehead appeared and his previous heterochromatic eyes changed and were deep, purple-colored ones. 

"Is not possible…you should be.." 

"Dead? As if." Yozora asked with a mocking tone. "

"After all there is no possible way that I could perish at the hands of a mongrel like you," Yozora stated with utmost disdain at his former friend. 

"Why…?" 

"Why you ask? The gal you have to ask such a ridiculous question." Yozora did not even feel enraged by his question, amusement would be the right word. "I warned you…that there would not be a second time." 

"But it was me!" Sirzechs yelled. "It was me who tried to kill you! Not even Ajuka knew that I was trying to kill you, it was my decision alone!" 

"I know that." 

"Then why did you involve innocent lives in our personal problem!? Neither of my people or my family, let alone Michael or Azazel, were your friends!!!" 

"You try to take me as a fool, huh? But credit must be given when it is earned…you are right, they "were" my friends, the past sentence is accurate." 

"Do you think that I was ignorant of the looks that everyone gave me? How most of you coveted my treasure? Do not think to yourself that you are that special Gremory, I gave all of them one chance, or have you forgotten that I was magnanimous enough back then to not kill the entire church when they shamelessly proclaimed that I had to give them all my weapons because they were the property of the church? Or when I did not kill that pet project of Azazel when that mongrel directly attacked me without any instigation on my part? Or even better when you made the arranged marriage of your whore sister my problem? Have you forgotten all about it?" 

"There is no need for you to answer that, I know that you did not forget…no, no, no all of you simply did not care a single bit!" 

"Partially I am to blame for this problem if I have to be honest." 

"I was young, stranded in a foreign world where the weak eat the strong, almost falling to madness for seeing something that a mortal should not…all alone." 

"I wanted to connect, a relationship, I had to accept that I was on the same boat as all of you, and in my naivety and stupidity of my young mind I decided…to coexist." 

"Hahahaha." Yozora let out a self-deprecating laugh. "How foolish I was." 

"I decided to ignore that abomination that you call [Evil Pieces] since it was none of my business after all, why do I have to care about some stranger, either way, they are going to get killed or enslaved by someone of the supernatural world? The Fallen would still plight on the lives of whoever they deemed lesser, and the Angels would still be hiding in that place because of their fear of dying allowing the Church to do as they want, brainwashing kids and doing heinous experiments with them…just let the event pass as it should be, as… canon."

Yozora's mouth once again twisted as a mad smile started to form on his face and let out a sick laugh as if he heard the best joke in the world.

"Hahaha, I committed the same mistake as people like me, I cannot believe it hahaha." Yozora held his stomach as he was unable to stop laughing. "Hahaha, I think that it is quite a good punishment for going against my [Origins] and treating mongrels like my equals hahaha."

"It only took a single misstep for all of you to betray me!" The skies started to rumble at Yozora's wrath.

"And for what!? Out of jealousy because the so-called "love of your life" didn't reciprocate your feelings!"

"You…were too dangerous to live!"

"*Snort* Is that so? Well, you didn't seem to mind when I saved the slut that you call sister, of her fate of becoming the plaything of that rip-off young master, or when I solved the low fertility of your people! Heavens did not seem to care when I helped them to repair their system so new Angels could be born! Azazel really didn't seem to care when I helped him to create new [Sacred Gears], for all of you I made more than any of you could possibly do alone and more than you can possibly expect! And this is how you reward me?"

"You were becoming too powerful…to influential, different from Ophis and Great Red you made moves in the worl-." But Sirzech's words were halted by Yozora kicking him in the chest, making him grunt in pain.

"Give me a break, if I really wanted to take any of your filthy Factions, I could have done it without you realizing it…just as made moves to destroy all of you right now." 

"How…are..you…still alive..?" 

"Huh? Do you think that just because you have a pitiful understanding of the concept of [Destruction], you had a chance against me? Even when I was temporarily weakened you may have destroyed most of my flesh…but you did not stand a chance trying to destroy my soul, so laughable we don't even exist in the same realm of existence." 

"But in a way, I should thank you." Yozora's face turned serious. "Thanks to you, I was able to discern who was truly my allies and not just mere opportunistic idiots.  When Azazel got the news do you know what was his reaction? "Huh? A pity." that's all he said before he went trying to loot one of the laboratories, he knew I had. Or Michael who let out a sigh of relief since no one else would be able to access the [Heaven System] and tried to search for my Holy Weapons…yeah what good friend they were." 

"On another hand, little Leonardo was so enraged that wanted to flood the Underworld with his monsters, and my little sweet Ophis wanted to obliterate all of you, Great Red was also enraged but it was unable to move with the constant attacks of the Outer Gods, but for a moment he considered the idea to let them roam free in this world, I must admit that Hyodo…no Issei was the one who surprised me the most, to think that he would go [Juggernaut Drive] against you after finding the truth, well he one sidely declared that I was his Aniki, and even with all his faults he is a man worth of respect, unlike you." 

"But no…I could not allow them to do all of that, they would have killed all of you…and you don't deserve such mercy." 

"Only one was able to understand what I would do, want I wanted to do." With Yozora's words, steps started to become clear from behind Sirzechs.

"Is as you said Yozora-sama." The person behind Sirzechs said letting herself become visible to him.

The woman in question was a beautiful tall woman in her early twenties who was wearing a blue and white French maid outfit with long sleeves and a white maid headband. Her magnificent silver hair was stylish with a long braid on each side with small blue bows at the end with the rest of it down which ended in twin braids, her delicate mouth was painted with red lipstick as red as her eyes. 

"These peasants had the audacity of disregarding your kindness, so is only fair that they are punished accordingly." Grayfia Lucifuge said with a serious tone, ignoring the "satan". 

"Grayfia how could you!" Sirzechs said with an outraged at the words of the maid. "Have you forgotten when we were in the Civil War? How did we promise to change the underworld? To do the best for our people? And yet you are colliding with a mere hu-" But his outburst was stopped by Grayfia who pierced his side with an [Ice Spear].

"Do not raise your voice in front of my Master, Gremory." Grayfia said with a cold tone not even bothering to use honorifics with the "satan".

Grayfia turned around to look at Yozora and bowed with both of her hands placed on her stomach. "I apologize for my indecorous display Yozora-sama, but I could not tolerate this lesser talking to you in such a respectful manner, but rest assured that I did not pierce any vitals that would compromise the punishment before it has to end." 

"Mah mah, Grayfia-chan don't worry about such a minor detail," Yozora said grabbing Grayfia from her waist. "These chains are enchanted similar to the ones that Zeus used to punish Prometheus, making him heal with time." After Yozora finished talking, he kissed his maid on the forehead.

Grayfia blushed at the public display of affection. "Yozora-sama even if he is not worth anything, we are still in public," Grayfia said in the calmest way she could muster but did nothing to separate herself from her master. 

Sirzechs wanted to puke blood at the sight in front of his eyes. He looked at the only woman that he ever loved, the one that he mourned for hundreds of years because he thought she died, who he risked everything to be with. Being held in the arms of another man and unknown to him both of them were doing it on purpose to inflict more emotional pain to him. 

"Grayfia, how could you betray our people? Let them die…let all our hard work go to the ruin."  Sirzechs said trying to play the emotional card on her, in his mind it was not too late to fix everything. 

However, Grayfia did not even hesitate to raise her hand as multiple [Magic Circles] started to form, creating hundreds of [Ice Spears] who flew towards the direction of Pureblooded Devils impaling them without killing them. 

"It seems that you are having a misconception here, Gremory,"  Grayfia said with the same monotone voice, but the disdain was palpable in her words. "It was not me who betrayed the Underworld, it was the Underworld that betrayed me." 

"After all the efforts and sacrifices that I made, the council still had plans for me. I heard what the council wanted to do with me. They would either kill me because of my previous affiliation with the Satan Faction or turn me into a broodmare for procuring the "Lucifuge" linage." Grayfia explained with disgust palpable in her voice. 

"I would not have  allowed that!" Sirzechs screamed.

"So what would you have done? Make me your "Queen" and be married to you as a trophy wife? Being kept on a tight leash and being in constant vigilance with them waiting for me to do the slightest of misconduct so they could punish me? I think not. I did not do what I did in exchange for praise, but certainly, I did not want to be treated as a criminal. That is why I staged my death and went into seclusion to sleep until Master took me out of my sleep."  Graydia explained with disgust visible on her face. "So no, I do not have any sympathy for the devils that tried to enslave me, after all as a devil I am my priority, besides my master's wishes that is," Graydia said with a lot of pride in her later statement. 

Sirzechs gritted his teeth in frustration as he perfectly knew that everything that Grayfia said was true but it hurt his heart how much she hated the idea of being together with him. But he needed to keep the conversation flowing as he had the hope that someone would come to his aid. 

"By the way Gremory, don't think that I did not notice what were you doing," Yozora said nonchalantly. "No one is going to help you." 

With a snap of his fingers three people appeared, making Sirzechs' eyes wide in surprise as well as pure unadulterated rage started to come once again. After all, anyone would be enraged at the sight of seeing their closest friends being bloodied and having missed limbs.

Sirzechs was going to yell once again, but with another snap of Yozora's fingers the mouth of the red "satan" disappeared leaving only the noise of screams that died out in his throat.

"I grew tired of your incessant whining for the moment," Yozora said, moving behind Sirzechs, using his hand to make him stare at the hell in front of him. 

"So just remain shut for the moment and enjoy the show…think about it as a movie." After Yozora said those words, a wicked smile formed on his face.

"A really loooong movie," Yozora said staring at the masterpiece that he created manipulating the whole world.

….

Hello niece and nephew, it's Uncle Author and I hope you enjoyed this Omake!

So I am sure that many of you(I think) have wondered about what would have happened if Yozora started his adventure in the DXD world and how it was supposed to happen. And on this is the What If of the worst possible outcome…for the world that is. 

I am sure that, I once commented on the first roll when he accepted the job, besides Armirger and one skill (Magic Circuits Manipulation) all other skills and items were aleatory, well I did not lie on that one. So in this scenario, he did not get Clairvoyance (Beast) nor the Servant Summoning Ticket so he was all alone without a reliable teacher, friend, or family from the start, he had to do everything alone at the start, including his inner battle with Gilgamesh as you read on the last chapter. 

I also mentioned that I do not write Yozora as a good guy nor does he believe so and I meant it, not like the tsundere guys in a lot of this FF that said "I am a monster who would burn the world just to protect his loved ones" or "I do not care about your affairs as long as I can live a happy life with my family" or "I want to become stronger to protect my family and loved ones", they said all that bs and go directly towards the troubles and save everyone in the middle…of course he saved helped Harry and the others because he wanted to and did not give bs reasons to do it, he grew fond of them that is all. Like any human being, he has bias and he knows it *cough* *cough* [Evil Pieces] *cough* *cough* and beliefs, but we will talk about that in the next chapter. Also, he is very manipulative and remembers that he wanted to make Voldemort's life miserable, not because he killed a lot of people and did horrendous things, but because he was annoyed by the fact that he could not kill him and was wasting a lot of time. Yes, he does have personal values, but Doctor Doom also has them… so yeah, definitely not Shonen Protagonist material. 

By the way, now that I am on vacation I finally was capable of playing all the British Lostbelt…When I asked which Servant would be a good option for Yozora I was surprised by why some of you asked for Morgan since I was only aware of the one in the Panhuman history…I only had two reactions after finishing it, I will leave some pics with my emotions and thoughts.

Anyway, most likely, I will publish the chapter 40 this Sunday as it has been taking me a lot of time to finish it since I only have the laptop for myself in the night as my dad is using it for his work in the mornings and evenings and writing on the cellphone is annoying and a lot slower hahaha. 

So, with anything else to say, thank you for reading this chapter. 

If you like this ff so far, please make a review on the main page, this will help me a lot so more people get interested in reading it. 

Also, leave a comment with your thoughts on this chapter and maybe drop a stone or two(My precious) hahaha. 

See you again in the next chapter!
