Ragnarok Tournament Part 4 of 5 - Semi Finals Fin (Page 2 of 2)

Page 2 of 2

a large, black scope that can be adjusted in zoom from a minimum distance of 25 feet magnified all the way up to 3 miles. Most of the weapon is black except for the stock and parts of the bottom and grip, which are all colored in mostly light camo with some forest green. The barrel is a full 30 inches in length.

The Slayer noticed that there is no magazine or loading mechanism from the side or top, and no slide or bolt action. His ability to instantly master any new weapon comes in handy. He also noticed a circular knob on the right side that had some sort of bars of green light to represent ammo in the gun.'VEGA, what does this gun shoot?'

"According to my scans, this gun has infinite ammo and shoots beams of Argent Energy, having an effective range of 1.8 miles. There are no drawbacks to this weapon, as there is no need to wait for the barrel to cool down.

I have just run a simulation, and this weapon could kill any Baron of Hell in one shot. It can also take down a Marauder's shields in four shots, or kill a Marauder in two very well placed shots to the hand. It's rate of fire in your hands is 200 shots per minute."

He took a test shot, aiming at a window, firing a beam that was colored like the hellish red of The Well.

The recoil was immense but dampened by the Slayer's muscles, and the shot caused the window to crack and rupture into the vacuum of space. However, the Doom Slayer stood unmoving, breathing fine.

'I'm ready, VEGA.'

"Activating tether coordinates now. I made sure to save the location that we made our previous jump from."

Before he left, he heard an annoying creepy female version of the UAC dumb AI saying, "Remember, the term 'Demons' is offensive. They prefer the more politically correct term, 'mortally challenged.' Make sure to give our newcomers a warm welcome and that they have a pleasant stay."

This pissed the Slayer off to no end, so he shot the speakers. 'Oh, I'll give them a REAL warm welcome, alright. And if the people of this universe who run society love them so much, then I'm not protecting you anymore, nor the commoners who give you greedy pricks money. Your society will collapse without the people, and I would laugh at your funerals if I stuck around, but I'm not going to. I'm so sick of my work going unappreciated. Fuck all of you. You can die for all I care.'

Cue Song: Doom (2016) OST - "VEGA Core" by Mick Gordon

When Issei and co arrived, what they saw horrified them but didn't surprise them in the slightest.

Tens of thousands of people were in the streets trying to run away, but one Demon was keeping them at bay. The Demon is a tall, pure black shadow with massive claws, horns pointing forward, slanted white eyes, spikey black nails for hair, small sharp pure white teeth, and two wings just behind its shoulders.

Astaroth smiled manically as he cut off the fleeing civilians from their escape path, making them fall backwards in terror. "And where do you think you're going?"

He cast a mist of shadows that quickly covered them. Screams of pain could be heard.

"AHHHHH!"

"NO! I DON'T WANT TO DIE!"

"SOMEONE HELP! PLEASE SAVE ME!"

Not long after, it ended, and when the mist disappeared, every person was turned into Demons, most of them being Possessed, some being Imps.

Issei's eyes twitched. 'Guys, this Demon might be one of their important figureheads. He seems to hold a great deal of more intelligence than any of the others we've faced. He's dangerous, so stay sharp.'

Sona looked at him. 'What do we do?'

Before he could answer, a dark blue portal appeared to the right of their new adversary, and out stepped a little two year old girl. Her expression went from happy to scared when she saw her surroundings.

Astaroth blinked. 'Who is this kid?! I sense an endless void of holy power coming from her! She could be a serious threat to my master's plans. I must take care of her.'

He lunged forward at the girl and attempted to swipe at her with one of his clawed hands.

Seeing this, Issei jumped in the way.

WELSH DRAGON BALANCE BREAKER!

He brought his arms up and blocked the attack.

The little girl stood still, shocked.

Issei looked at her and yelled, "What are you waiting for?! Run!"

She snapped out of it and sprinted as fast as her tiny legs could carry her to Issei's group and proceeded to hide behind Vali.

Arisu's breath hitched at the sight of the child. "S-So much holy power! What the hell?!"

Astaroth glared at Issei. "Sekiryuutei."

"Do I know you?"

"No. Who I am is not important for now." Astaroth jumped back, dodging a swipe from Jounetsu. "Perhaps I have overstayed my welcome." He tipped an imaginary hat as he opened a black portal and disappeared with a, "Farewell."

Issei was annoyed. "DRAGON SHOT!" He killed all the people turned into Demons before he walked back to his group, making them relax from their battle stances.

Vali blinked as they turned their attention to the girl. "What's your name, kid?"

"A-Alas=Ramus."

Issei kneeled in front of her. "Why are you here, Alas? Where are your parents?"

Alas studied Issei's appearance. She sensed the emotions inside of him, reminding her of Jacob. Both are nice but have hidden anger, which is not meant for her.

"D-Daddy sent me here."

"What about your mother?"

"Hm? Mommy? Daddy says he doesn't know who mommy is."

Only the whites of Issei's eyes showed as he thought, 'Well, this guy sounds like a jerk!'

Alas continued. "He said he was sending me to an unknown... what's the word... fate? Yeah! Fate! And that it would pwobably be safer there than the world he lives in."

"Any idea why?"

"Daddy said he is both a showdier and powitician, whatever that means. He wanted someone like him to wook after me."

Issei berated himself. 'Crap! I jumped the gun. Her father sounds like he might be having people constantly trying to kill him, much like me.'

He nodded. "Vali, stay here with Alas. I need to have a chat with everyone."

"Hm? Sure." Vali shrugged.

He led the group to a secluded alley nearby. "Here's what my judgement says. I get the feeling that she's not from this dimension."

Tsubaki adjusted her glasses. "Hoh? Interesting. And why do you say that?"

"There is not a single Angel, not even the Four Great Seraphs, who have holy power as potent as her. I caught a glimpse of some basic information using my Stonehenge ability. It said that her race is a Yesod Fragment."

Fafnir's eyes widened. "What?!"

The group looked at him funny. Ruruko voiced her thoughts. "I don't get it. Why is that so shocking?"

He answered. "You know the basics of the Bible, but not the Jewish Torah. A Yesod Fragment is a piece from the Tree of Life, which is located in the Garden of Eden. Humans claim that the Garden of Eden is located in Mesopotamia, which is one of the first locations that the very first Humans evolved in, but in actuality, it is located in Seventh Heaven, a lair only accessible to God, whoever he wishes to be in it, and the Great Seraph in charge of Heaven."

Kuroka nodded. "So, Gabriel-nyan."

Issei sighed. "Yeah, but that's not it. It's just that Alas' holy power isn't just more potent than anyone I have ever seen, but it also feels so different. The holy power of an Angel usually comes off as natural, calming, loving, peaceful, but ready for a fight. I'm not getting any of that from Alas. It feels like it's been tampered with."

Akeno was confused. "What are you saying exactly?"

"Maybe she was experimented on or something? Because while her power is there, it's been suppressed somehow. I don't know, I get the feeling that the Heaven we know here isn't responsible for whatever happened to her."

Mira's eyes narrowed. "Are you saying that there are multiple versions of Heaven? That's kind of absurd. It's common knowledge that there is only one Heaven and that it sits between all dimensions."

"Maybe for some reason, God created multiple versions of Heaven? Maybe there's versions where people you and I know, perhaps us ourselves, have different versions of ourselves out there that have everything from little changes such as our weapons to us being evil or having different lovers. After all, we do know that there are multiple universes from where Team Holy Trinity came from."

Alas isn't powerful enough to hear the conversation, but Vali did. 'This conversation got way too deep!'

Issei sighed. "In any case, that's not why I called you here. I just wanted to let you guys know that myself and those living with me will be the ones to take care of Alas. Any objections?"

No one voiced any concerns.

"Good. It's settled, then. Let's head back."

They made their way back to Vali and Arisu.

Issei raised a hand and placed it on Alas' head. "Alas, I decided that we'll take care of you until we find your parents, okay?"

She nodded and smiled at his peerage. "Okay! Pwease take good care of me, big sisters."

'She's too cute!' They all thought.

They teleported back to their stadium hotels.

. . . . . . .

Ajuka Beelzebub, leader of the Devil military, had issued a magical broadcast to all who had reserved hotels for their stay during the duration of the tournament.

The broadcast repeated over and over loudly, "This is Ajuka Beelzebub, General of the Devil military. We are under attack by Demons. All survivors, please meet outside the stadium entrance. Teleport as many people as you can. The Demons are attacking in your hotels. Your best chance at surviving is to move to the designated location ASAP."

Smoke billowed from parts of the stadium as a few sections of the roof had caved in.

The Demons created five gore nests surrounding the stadium in the shape of a pentagram.

The plan went like this:

Ajuka had ordered the majority of the Devil military to go around to the back side from the left while trying to take out the gore nests along the way.

Azazel had done the same as his forces stick to the left of the Devils.

For each gore nest, both groups would flank around it in an encircling movement while killing as many Demons as possible.

A few of both factions stayed behind with the Angels, being protected by the Great Seraphs as they worked together to attend to the wounded.

All Three Factions at this area are trying to save as many injured as possible, and Issei's group teleported in to see this.

An older Fallen man was magically stretchered off by a Devil and Angel, both working in sync.

Two women, an Angel and a Fallen, huddled around a group of Devil children, cauterizing their wounds.

"It's okay. You're going to be alright. Angel-san, can you hand me that IV please?"

"Yes. Here you go." The woman handed her the bag and needle. "Careful. You know what you're doing with this equipment, right?" The Angel raised her hands, making multiple circles appear around the Devil kids as she began applying magic to heal them.

"Of course I do. Azazel is obsessed with technology, so it never hurts to know more about it. These kids suffered some serious burns, so they need water, which is why I'm hooking them up to two liters of liquid per person."

Other things happened such as a Devil and Fallen applying first aid to Angels.

Issei approached a female Angel working with a male Devil, maintaining a barrier between the gate of the stadium and the outside. "Hey, mind if I ask what happened?"

The girl spoke as she looked over her shoulder at him. "Oh, hello Sekiryuutei-kun. Well, it's bad. We have a thousand wounded and at least 122 confirmed dead and counting."

The Devil said, "Yeah, but at least everyone else got out. It's a miracle."

Issei grunted. "Hm. Is anyone missing or still inside other than those soldiers that just went off?"

The Angel nodded. "There are. Don't know how many. Most of the injured are Devils while most of the deceased are Angels and Fallen."

The man smiled at Issei. "My kind got lucky. Were it not for your quick thinking, this situation would have been a lot worse. Thank you."

He nodded mutely as they continued walking around. It was nice to see the majority of the members of the Three Factions work together, which is all he could ask of them, even if some of them don't like each other.

Akeno said, "I wonder if the Demons, on order of their Overlord, killed more Angels than any of the others as a form of revenge on God?"

Their thoughts were interrupted before anyone could answer.

"Issei!"

Issei turned to the voice only to be enveloped in a tight hug, a curtain of black hair falling. Realizing who it is, he hugged her back with a grin.

"Raye, it's good to see you're okay."

Ravel smirked. "We kept her safe. How did it go?"

"The Dragons have been united. They are going to join our efforts against the Khaos Brigade, too. There's about a million of them, but assuming that only a third of them can fight as the rest are either children, women who attend to their young, or elderly, well, that's still a lot of support."

They smiled.

"That's good to hear." Sairaorg sighed.

"Yeah."

"Issei, who is this girl?" Murayama pointed to Alas.

"Oh, this is Alas=Ramus, she's..." He explained the situation to them as well as his theory. "Anyway, what's the situation inside the barrier?"

Irina shrugged. "No idea. We immediately left the hotel and came here when we heard the Demons appear."

Rossweisse nodded. "Yeah, Raynare figured that the chance of survival inside the building would be smaller due to the possibility of the structure collapsing."

"Hm. Smart thinking." Issei ruffled Raynare's hair, making her feel a twinge of both annoyance and joy.

"S-Stop messing my hair!" Raynare frowned, earning a chuckle.

"As for what's happening right now, we have no idea," Tsubasa stated.

"Then our only choice is to stay here until this whole situation blows over."

A good portion of those watching the tournament who made it out of the invasion had already gone home, leaving tens of thousands lining the streets.

. . . . . . .

The Devil strike force consisted of mostly lower class Devils with spears and the ability to fire magic bolts, a couple hundred High Class Devils, and a few dozen Ultimate Class.

Many of these Devils are veterans of the Great War, but some of the higher class ones got into the military due to their status and connections, not their abilities.

Ajuka, despite being a very powerful Super Devil, didn't know it before this, but the legions of a few thousand under his command are severely ill-prepared and in need of a much more punishing training regiment.

Azazel was experiencing the same thing.

They got through the first two gore nests just fine. Only three left. What could go wrong?

Everything.

They didn't realize until now that the Demons they killed so far were only the little guys. Some of the upper class beings began arrogantly hollering about how easy that was.

A Summoner appeared, bringing three Marauders, four Barons of Hell, six Hell Knights, eight Cacodemons, 12 Mancubi, 18 Hell Razers, and 50 Imps.

The Fallen looked to Azazel, who signaled for them to hold their position, which they obeyed.

The Devils, on the other hand, were more undisciplined. A foolish Devil Captain ignored Ajuka's orders and ordered his platoon to charge forward.

"We can take them on! Look how badass we are!" He said. Famous last words.

The Barons of Hell threw their green fireballs.

Ajuka used his magic to try to stop the incoming attacks aimed at the moving cavalry, and while he was able to cause many fireballs to stop mid-air, he couldn't handle the demonic projectile weaponry.

The cavalry screamed in agony as they were shot at by the Hell Razers, some firing beams, other discharging large balls of Argent Energy that would explode in a four meter radius. They were incinerated.

The leader of the Devil military clicked his tongue in annoyance, seeing how cocky the now deceased Captain and his platoon were. He shouted, "All of you under my command, listen up! Just because some of you fought in the Great War, stared death in the face, and lived to tell the tale does not give you the right to underestimate our enemies!"

The Fallen Angels saw this and actually felt a little bad for the Devils for being so stupid.

Azazel had an amused expression. 'Good thing I'm recording this fight. It will give me good data to determine the capabilities of these Demons.'

Sirzechs, Grayfia, Serafall, and Falbium landed near Ajuka, having just finished their duties in evacuating the stadium and searching for those missing.

"What's the situation?" Sirzechs said.

"See for yourself."

Both groups, the Fallen flanking the Demons from the left, and the Devils flanking the Demons from the right, were suffering heavy casualties, especially the Devils since they're being more muscle-brained and thinking less strategically than the Fallen.

Suddenly, a portal appeared, and out of it emerged a tall hunk of a man in green armor.

Ajuka blinked. "Aren't you the Doom Slayer?"

The Slayer cracked his knuckles as he prepared to fight. 'Why did you send me to the stadium, VEGA?'

VEGA spoke using the internal speakers so no one else could hear their conversation. "Because it seems that Issei Hyoudou has already taken care of the situation in Canada."

Ajuka cleared his throat. "What are you doing here, Slayer? Leave this fight to us. This is no place for-"

The Slayer pulled out his sniper rifle and killed the Summoner first, the ear-splitting shot frightening the soldiers.

Then, he aimed for the Barons of Hell and took them out in less than two seconds.

Sirzechs placed a hand on the shocked Ajuka. "You didn't take Issei seriously when he said that the Slayer is the most powerful being in the universe. Let's leave this to him and retreat back to the barrier. What do you say, Azazel?"

Azazel smirked. "Men, go back to the entrance. I'm going to stay to watch the Doom Slayer fight... from a distance, of course."

Ajuka slowly nodded. "Okay. All troops, retreat!"

As the soldiers ran for their lives, some stopping to carry a wounded comrade or two, a giant magical screen appeared in the sky for everyone in the stadium to see. It was showing the fight from Azazel's perspective as he flew above the carnage to get a great view.

Some already knew what the Slayer is capable of, mainly the Fallen Angels because they have the closest association with Human technology, and most of them have seen the brief video of the Kuoh Incident. Of those that saw it, a lot of Devils were skeptical of his full power, claiming that they could take him on in a fight, not willing to believe that a mere Human could be this powerful. Others decided it would be wise to not anger the man.

This, however, was a scene of ultraviolence that they would never forget, serving as a warning to stay out of the Slayer's way.

The Slayer, having already taken care of the third gore nest, dashed faster than anyone could guess to the fourth.

He simply jumped from side-to-side as he dodged incoming fireballs from Imps and Argent waves from Marauders, firing his meat hook at the hand of a Marauder, stabbing into it, and pulling the Demon towards him as he brutally grabbed its head with both hands and ripped it straight in half, causing blood to shower everywhere, all without stopping for a second.

The Doom Slayer bulldozed his way through them, shrugging off fireballs that hit him as if they tickled.

This shocked those watching since a surviving soldier said that some of the fireballs passing near his face were as hot as the sun.

The Hellwalker proceeded to singlehandedly slaughter the Demons and take care of the remaining two gore nests.

Very few were not terrified of him. But again, many Devils still doubt him.

Diodora Astaroth simply scoffed as if to say he could also take down the forces of Hell and the Slayer. This, combined with his previous behavior during the tournament, made many Devils subtly break their ties with him, having enough of his arrogance, but he never cared for what they think.

Alas=Ramus thinks he is awesome as she watched with stars in her eyes.

And Issei and Sona's peerages knew better than to think of the Slayer as blinded with rage or evil, unlike some higher class beings.

Bahamut teleported in with a sigh as he made an announcement for everyone to hear. "Alright, listen up. Given what has happened today, I have decided to postpone the Rating Game Tournament Finals for half a year."

"EHHHHHHH?!"

Again, some of the higher class Devils complained.

One man in particular, Lord Astaroth, Diodora's father, voiced his annoyance. "We paid money to watch this tournament! The least you could do is finish the whole thing tomorrow!"

Bahamut glared at him, making him flinch. "Oh? I missed the part where that's my problem. Besides, most of that money is going to the winner of the tournament with a small portion going to charity. If you reserved a hotel in the stadium, you won't have to pay for our services when the tournament resumes if you wish to watch in attendance. While it is understandable that some won't be attending out of fear, I can assure the safety of those that will."

Issei cleared his throat, earning everyone's attention. "One more thing. This is the one and only tournament I am participating in. I have a family that I would very much like to spend time with as well as a potential war to fight, so I expect all of you to not bother trying to get me to participate in future tournaments, or else..."

Bahamut nodded. "Now all of you may return home."

. . . . . . .

Kuoh, Japan

And so they went home. It felt like forever since Issei had seen his own house. He took a much-needed nap.

At school, Issei crammed study sessions as he got 1st place out of his entire grade in the test results for his mid-terms and finals exams.

He convinced Sona to move in with them.

Rossweisse didn't let Raynare skip her classes, so she was forced to attend school online from home. For her, it did add to her stress, having to deal with more and more pain by the day, but she was happy that she got to stay at home and not have anyone judge her for her growing stomach. Not that she cared for the opinions of strangers, but she found their gossip annoying.

Christmas came, and everyone had a good time as they went shopping, got each other presents, and went to the shrine. Raynare stepped outside for the first time in months to go to the shrine, finding it hard to stand for long.

Time passed on. Eventually, the day came.

Sunday, March 7th, 2021

Raynare had gone into labor. She was about to eat dinner when she felt her water broke, making the announcement.

While almost everyone else was panicking except Vali, Issei picked Raynare up bridal style and teleported to the only place he could think of that would take care of her without asking him questions, the Grigori 2.0, who luckily have an Emergency Room.

At first, he was considering taking her to the original Grigori, knowing that the four Fallen Angel leaders, especially Azazel, would be more than happy to take Raynare in, but he didn't want to risk the Khaos Brigade attacking to try to kidnap or kill Raynare or their children when she's at her weakest.

The Intensive Care Unit staff rushed her in and forced Issei to wait outside, not wanting him to get in the way of the operation.

Everyone living in the Issei Hyoudou estate arrived not long afterwards and asked him what happened. They waited. They thought they would be there a long time, but much to their surprise, that wasn't the case.

Two of the doctors to the side used magic to force Raynare's digestive tracks open, which was a little painful, but it made giving birth easier as they also used magic to sooth her.

For most Human women, giving birth can take 3 hours without anesthesia, more with it. Sometimes it can go for as long as 8+ grueling hours.

It only took ten minutes for Raynare as she pooped out her offspring.

Issei was watching from behind a pane of glass. He couldn't help but smile as he heard what the lead surgeon, who was now carrying a baby, said.

"It's a girl!"

A minute later, the second child was born, a boy.

While the two mages worked on sealing and repairing Raynare's stomach and intestines, Issei was allowed in. He immediately sat next to Raynare opposite of the mages and took her hand. "How do you feel?"

Raynare smiled. "You know, I feel surprisingly good. I thought giving birth would hurt a lot more, and while I did feel quite a bit of pain, it was over fast."

He chuckled. "Yeah, well now that pain wasn't as bad as carrying not one, but two babies for the last nine months."

"Ugh. Don't remind me... I don't want anymore children for at least a few more years."

"So you do want more!" He smirked.

She blushed and frowned. "What are you thinking of, pervert?"

Issei giggled and booped her nose. "You're the one who thought of it. I was just teasing you."

Raynare melted when he laughed and kissed her forehead.

The doctors cleaned the baby of their own poo and urine, something a pregnant woman's water is full of. They checked the two for allergies, which they had none of. Issei stopped them when they were about to give them multiple shots for what babies usually need for necessary vaccines, saying they're Dragons that will grow stronger without the help of medicine.

Azazel walked in. "Yo! How is she?"

The lead surgeon smiled. "Looking good." He turned his attention to the flirting couple and cleared his throat, making them blush much to Azazel's amusement. "Well, your kids look very healthy, although over the course of the next couple weeks, you will need to bring them in a few times to make sure their basic physical health is fine and that they're growing okay." He received a pair of nods before he left to attend to other patients.

A nurse came in with two clipboards and handed it to them with a smile. "I have already filled out some basic information such as height, weight, and blood type. All you have to do now is fill out your own information to confirm that you're the parents and then write down their names for them. Take your time. You can come back and give us their names later too, okay?" She left as did Azazel and all the nurses, the last one carefully setting the two in a pair of cribs as they allowed the rest of the group waiting outside in.

Issei grabbed the two sleeping babies and held them to his chest, walking back to an eager Raynare and handing her their son while Alas, who was sitting on Vali's shoulders, looked on in wonder.

He smirked as he kissed his daughter and rocked her back and forth gently. "I'm naming her Yuuma."

Raynare's jaw dropped. "You're giving her the same fake name I used on our first date? Not that I mind since it's a pretty name, but why?"

He shrugged. "The date may have ended poorly, but I look back at it with nothing but fondness. I'll do the same for this little one."

Dohnaseek nodded. "Hm. Yuuma is a good name."

"I agree," Kalawarner grinned.

"Nah, you should name her Mittelt." Mittelt confidently placed her hands on her hips with a smirk, nodding to herself, making them all giggle, causing the babies to stir, so they quickly quieted down.

"What will you name your son?" Asia inquired.

Raynare smiled. "Yume."

Vali sighed. "Yuuma and Yume. I can already tell these two are going to be annoyed with you for giving them similar-sounding names."

"They're good names, though." Great Red announced his presence, teleporting behind the group with Bahamut, Ophis, and Tannin following.

"Where did you come from?! And you can't just teleport into a hospital where the doctors could be rushing to save someone's life!" Issei whisper-shouted.

"Relax." Bahamut rolled his eyes. "So, how does it feel to be a father?"

"Eh? Well... It makes me nervous if I make a mistake and accidentally hurt my kids."

Ophis blinked. "And what about you, Raynare?"

"I feel the same way, but I want to protect my kids more than anything."

Ophis nodded. "Humu. In that case, I may have a solution." She put her hand to the left, causing a bit of dark blue magic to appear. It formed into a girl. The girl looks a lot like Ophis except with a ponytail. "This is Lilith. She has the same capabilities as me except cloning, and she cannot get rid of me, the original Ouroboros. Lilith, your job is to protect the children of Issei and Raynare."

The others were shocked at what they just saw while Bahamut merely smirked, Great Red yawned, and Tannin stretched his arms above his head from sleepiness as if this were something normal to them.

Irina whispered to Akeno. "Did she just make a clone?!"

"Yeah. She did."

Tsubasa looked around and saw the same shocked expression on her peers, slapping her own cheeks once to make sure she isn't dreaming.

Lilith tilted her head innocently as she emotionlessly spoke. "... I, shall do whatever you order of me, progenitor. What are their names?"

"... Yuuma and Yume Hyoudou."

"... Understood. Must protecc."

Vali was shocked. "Now she's meming!"

Issei scratched his hair. "So, will Lilith be living with us?" Ophis nodded. He looked at Lilith, who stared at him even more emotionlessly than his Aunt. "I see. In that case, welcome to my family, Lilith. We'll be glad to have you." He pet the Ouroboros copy, making her purr.

To Be Continued

I know that I was going to beat my record for my previous longest Chapter at some point, but I wasn't expecting it to happen this soon lol. Eventually, I will beat this newly set record again due to the future arcs I have planned.
