2 Chapter 2 Fake Highschool DxD
Author Note:
Kinda forgot to add that his name was Joshua in the previous chapter, but I guess it doesn't matter now, does it?
Now, Can you guys suggest some good names for the MC?
♦♦♦♦
Josh slowly opened his eyes, gazing around at his new surroundings. Based on the information the ROB had imparted, he knew he had been reborn as a Celestial child in the world of High School DxD.
He focused his thoughts inward, accessing the extensive database now stored within his mind. Images and histories cascaded through his consciousness, outlining the major factions and powers that shaped this realm.
Devils ruled portions of the Underworld,
Heaven housed the angels, servants of the Christian God.
Various pantheons of older mythology also held territories, like the Norse and Greek gods.
"Gugu, gaga"
It was then Josh realized this was indeed the setting of the popular High School DxD anime and light novels he was familiar with.
However, as he delved deeper, frowning lines appeared on his small brow. The timeline of events he witnessed in his mind did not match what had transpired in the story he knew.
'Heh, he thought, I wouldn't notice huh?'
He scoffed.
"Thich.. ijn't z chame ZxZ uolz chone in z Anume(This isn't the same DxD world as shown in the anime)" He said in his cute baby voice.
the circumstances were vastly different. Political alliances shifted in unforeseen ways.
"Futk! I kan't sanz poperwy (Fuck! I can't stand properly)"
Josh wobbled as he stood on shaky legs, surveying his tiny body. But when he searched his memories imparted by the ROB, he found no information about his new form or origins.
'Strange, he didn't include any details about this body,' Josh thought to himself. Being an infant again would take adjustment.
Closing his eyes, Josh took a deep breath and focused inward. He reached for the divine gifts bestowed to him - his bodiless powers of physics manipulation and absorption.
At first, nothing seemed different. Then, ever so subtly, Josh began to sense more. A veil was lifted as he tapped into a form of extrasensory perception.
"Woooooo....."
The world around him shimmered with a strange new energy. As Josh focused, he realized he could sense the life force in all living things pulsing around him.
All around, Josh could now see the ethereal forms of every living thing nearby. Shimmering auras surrounded trees, birds flitting between branches, and insects crawling on the bark. Even smaller animals like mice and frogs emitted a telltale glow.
He was witnessing the spiritual or life essence within all organisms. It was as if he possessed a sixth sense beyond the basic five. Josh realized this must be linked to his "divinity of absorption" - the ability to take in any type of matter, energy, or even life force.
'Let's see, shall we?' he thought, as he had decided to not talk.
Curious, he wondered what would happen if he tried connecting to this energy. Closing his eyes, he reached out with his mind. It was as if he could feel the essence of life itself. Gently, he tried merging his energy with what surrounded him.
"Heh, zits it! (that's it)" Well, he muttered again.
Excitement swelled within Josh's small frame.
The effects were startling. Nearby plants and trees began to wilt. Birds stopped singing as their songs faded away. Even the insects fell still.
Josh felt a surge within, like an electric current charging through his body.
Josh could feel the inner mechanics of his body trying to fight this sudden occurrence of power coursing through him, invigorating his celestial form, but his body was not normal, it belonged to one of the cheat-like characters with no limiter on it.
As the energies blended together, his form began changing in ways he didn't fully understand. His body grew larger and stronger with each passing moment.
The landscape within his 500-meter radius transformed into a desolate wasteland, a stark contrast to the vibrant ecosystem that once thrived.
The ground beneath his feet crackled as if it, too, was responding to the sheer might of his celestial prowess.
"Fuu~"
When he opened his eyes, he could see the landscape had transformed. Where once there was vibrant green, now was barren brown earth.
'Oh! it looks like a forest from a horror movie.' he thought
He looked at his own body, his skin was pale with somewhat white-colored veins bulging out from his muscles.
His hair color had also turned white, "Maybe a side-effect of Life force absorption."
Wait! I can talk properly now! And I've also grown!
"Bahaha, I thought I would have to wait till I become an adult."
He said as he laughed maniacally.
About the dead forest and creatures..? He didn't give a shit.
He looked in his mind's knowledge to see the age he was in and what was set to happen at this time if he were not present here.
"Oh? An ancient war... looks like this thing is the only similar thing to the original one.... interesting!" He said with a wide grin.
He had seen the entire timeline of this Alternate world,
Here, after the Great Ancient War, instead of the deaths of the Biblical God and Four Great Satan, every other being would die and they would be the last remaining, after that they would retreat seeing all that loss, and would refrain from going against each other.
After some eons, they will even become friends.
"Pfft.. what a heart-touching turn of events.... let's change them for the worse!"
He manipulated the laws of physics so the lights could pass through him and would not be reflected back to someone's retina, making himself invisible and disappearing from his position.

The thunderous footsteps of Lucifer's demonic army signaled their imminent arrival. Dust clouds rose into the darkened sky as thousands of devilish forces approached the battlefield.
"Well, well, well, I thought you were just blabbering nonsense when you said you were ready for a fight." Lucifer the Original said in a mocking tone.
"Lucifer my friend.... why do you want to be the ruler of all the races that badly? I guess the oldtimer also wants to know..." Azazel, the king of fallen angels asked while pointing his thumb towards the God of the Bible.
"Why must do all this, must more blood shed because of your races?" The Biblical God said calmly.
"Pfft.. If you really don't want the war to happen...." Lucifer looked at the Biblical God and tilted his head, "....why don't you just surrender..?" he asked in a tone filled with mockery.
All the angles behind him had veins popping out of their faces in rage, but they refrained from talking in the middle.
".... That, I can't do." The biblical God said as he summoned his celestial blade.
"I guess the peace is not an option then, right? Not that I was hoping for that." Azazel said while summoning his dark twin daggers.
With that, the three walked toward their respective armies stationed at a distance.
Today would determine which of the three factions held ultimate power.
Lucifer had united the demons under his command, promising to prove himself the rightful ruler over both God and fallen angels.
"The view from here feels refreshing..." He stood tall atop a stone outcropping, surveying the forces massing below.
The Biblical God and four Great Seraphs had amassed their own celestial armies, ready to defend divine dominion. Meanwhile, Azazel had brought his cadre of rebellious angels to stake their claim.
Lucifer cared little for their aspirations—only one would leave victorious. And he had not come this far, endured the pains of damnation, only to fail now.
"Let's settle this... once and for all~" Lucifer allowed a smile to curl his lips.
"Charge!" bellowed Lucifer, summoning a massive crimson sword wreathed in crackling power.
The battlefield shook beneath his feet as he channeled his immense destructive might into the blade.
*boom*
Destroying the surroundings with a mighty leap, Lucifer launched himself at the Biblical God atop a pillar of flame.
"Let's show them the might of us Devils!!!" Beelzebub roared as he led his squad of demons against the Angels' host, Michael.
"Ahh!!!! Let's Go!" Meanwhile, Asmodeus and his followers crashed into the ranks of the fallen angels.
*Boom**BoOOoM*
Magical energies exploded on contact, flinging bodies aside from the sheer force.
The armies collided in a cataclysmic maelstrom. Angels and demons alike fell beneath flurries of spells and steel, the ground turning to mud as precious blood soaked into the earth.
Leviathan roared as he led his contingent of demon generals toward the Four Great Seraphs. Magical energies swirled in the air around towering Titans as the mighty combatants squared off.
Meanwhile, Lucifer parried a strike from God's celestial blade, golden ichor dripping from a wound in his side. But still he smiled, crimson eyes alight with challenge.
"So once again we find ourselves at odds, old 'friend,'" Lucifer called out over the clangor of battle. "And yet I persist, while your flock wavers. It seems I am the one true constant in a changing world."
God said nothing, though anger flashed in his eyes. He attacked with renewed ferocity, driving Lucifer back under a flurry of blows. But still, the fallen angel stood unbent.
"Your time is done," Lucifer taunted, slashing at God. "Can you not see how Devils are the superior Race to exist?"
Lucifer moved with preternatural speed, his sword whistling through the air to carve deep gouges in the Biblical God's defenses.
"...No one is Superior to one another!" The Biblical God retorted as he blocked Lucifer's blade inches away from cutting him in half.
"Is that true? THEN WHY DO YOU GUYS ACT ALMIGHTY AND RIGESTIOUS EVERY TIME!!!" He yelled as he dodged one of God's attacks.
Their blades locked, luminous energies crackling between them.
"How could I allow a Devil to be a ruler of all existence?" The Biblical asked.
"Gwahaha, who is asking for permissions here? Just see how every race prospers under me!" Lucifer said and launched a barrage of attacks.
God gazed into Lucifer's eyes, seeing only darkness reflected there. "You would damn them all for your pride," he said solemnly.
