The future will help us!

"It's gone! It's gone!" 

In the corner of the world, within the Dimensional Gap, where there was only a ruin and nothing, a group of people appeared, running away and hiding from the person who wished to kill them. Nevertheless, even if the others sighed in relief as they were able to escape, Cao Cao lost his calm and panicked. Even if they were able to run away, he realized that he had nothing now. 

"What's wrong, Cao Cao?" 

"Calm down."

Everyone became confused by Cao Cao's outburst. 

"My True Longinus... it's gone." 

"..."

"...what?" 

Everyone stared at Cao Cao in confusion, wondering whether their leader had gone crazy. 

However, Tobio, who was also in a similar situation, was started and dreaded. "Cao Cao... don't tell me..." 

Cao Cao lowered his head and punched his fist into the ground in frustration. 

"ARRRRRGGGGGH!" 

"Stop! Stop! Don't move around, Cao Cao! You are going to die!" Georg quickly stopped Cao Cao, whose face and body were so pale due to the blood loss. 

Still, Cao Cao suddenly felt his entire body was weak before he fell into Georg's arms, wondering where their future would be. 

"What's wrong? What's happening?" Jeanne asked in panic as everything was like a nightmare for her. In the beginning, everything was smooth, and they were able to do anything, but in a single moment, everything was destroyed, and she wasn't even sure what they should do. 

At this moment, everyone was confused, and no one knew what they should do. Their future was so dark that they weren't able to see anything. Running away? Were they even capable of doing that? Moreover, they felt that something big that they weren't able to control was about to happen. 

"Calm down. Being panicked won't bring us anywhere." 

This voice was something that they had never heard. Instead, it was their first time seeing this person. A burly, muscular figure that emitted the aura of a manly man. Nevertheless, even if they didn't know this person, they knew that he was the one who had saved them.

"As for your Longinus, whether it is the Canis Lykaon or the True Longinus, they are all taken by Riser Lucifer." 

"Whaaaatt?!" 

Everyone widened their eyes. 

"That's impossible!" 

"How could that happen?!" 

"He is a devil! How can he wield the True Longinus?!" 

Facing such words, the man only showed a solemn expression and didn't say anything, waiting for everyone to calm down. And when that happened, he asked, "Have you calmed down?" 

"....." 

Everyone fell in silence and frightened as they wondered what they should do against this mighty being. At this moment, each of them wanted to blame someone, but when they saw Cao Cao, they shut their mouths since even if they could blame him, what could they do in this situation?

Could they beg for Riser's forgiveness? No way! They were sure that as long as they appeared, Riser would kill him. 

"...who are you?" Arthur asked, but somehow, he felt this person was familiar. 

"Gasper Vladi." The man answered. "That's my name."

"Gasper Vladi?" 

"Anyway, thank you for saving us." Cao Cao might have been hurt and wounded, but even so, he still knew how to be grateful to someone. The rest also felt the same, as they knew that they wouldn't be able to stay alive without him. Moreover, this man was strong! 

It would be great if they could get this person's help. 

Still, Cao Cao quickly lowered his head since even if they could get the help of this man, what could they do? He had lost his True Longinus, and he was nothing but an ordinary human. 

"What?! Gasper Vladi?!" Le Fay widened her eyes, showing how dumbfounded she was. 

"You are right. That's me." The man, who admitted himself as a 

"Huh? Do you know him, Arthur?" Jeanne asked in wonder. 

"...he is Rias Gremory's Bishop," Arthur fell in confusion as he looked at the man, who introduced himself as Gasper Vladi. In his memory, Gasper Vladi was a feminine young man with a short stature and cute appearance, which made people mistake him for a cute girl. However, the man in front of them was the epitome of a manly man, so that was why he was confused. 

Moreover, why should Rias Gremory help them?

Wasn't Rias Gremory part of Riser's harem?

Or was there something hidden that no one knew?

"No, I am not that Gasper Vladi, but at the same time, I am Gasper Vladi." 

"What do you mean?" They became confused by Gasper's words. 

"It's true that I am a Gasper Vladi, but I am Gasper Vladi from a different future timeline." 

"...future different timeline?" 

Everyone was in a daze when they heard Gasper's explanation. 

"In my timeline, Riser from this world came into our world and destroyed everything. To change all of that, I came to this timeline to stop him before he became an all-mighty existence that dominated everything." 

"..." Everyone. 

All of them fell into silence and became dazed as the information they received was too much for them to handle. 

The future?

A different timeline?

Was Riser going to be a mighty being that dominated everything?

This information was so much that they didn't know what to do. 

Moreover, were they just trying to challenge a mighty being?

While it was true that Cao Cao had the strongest Longinus with the soul of the God resided within, Riser was above the God. 

Cao Cao had never felt so powerless, especially when he knew that nothing could be done anymore. "Thank you for saving us, but I can't see how we can help you to fight Lucifer-sama." Unlike his arrogant personality previously, he was humbled as he realized that fighting or even struggling was pointless. Moreover, he was afraid that they might not be able to keep their lives anymore since he knew that sooner or later, they would die. 

"No, we need your help," Gasper said firmly. 

"We?" 

"Yes, he is going to come. Our savior. He is the one who will save us from this nightmare." 

"Who?"

Everyone was confused and also became curious since there was even a being that could fight Riser.

"He is my tutor and the strongest someone that I have ever known. 

"Issei Hyoudo. 

"He will become our savior to save all of us." 

"....." Everyone. 

"Before that, let's quickly get Vali Lucifer, or else he might be killed by Riser Lucifer." 

"Vali!" 

When everyone moved and was ready to get Vali, Riser, who had listened to everything, fell into silence. 

"Future?" 

Riser looked at the distant horizon and wondered why the future wanted to destroy him. 

Also, Gasper? 

Why the heck did the future get involved?

Moreover, Issei?

With Riser's careful personality, how could he miss checking whether Issei was dying or not?

When Riser returned from his duel against the Great Red, he used the "Location" to locate Issei even though he knew that Issei had died, and he didn't find anything, yet he knew that Issei was going to return once again. 

Frankly, Riser felt like Issei was like a cockroach, as this guy kept coming from a place that he never expected. 

As for Gasper?

Gasper from this world was different from Gasper in the future, so Riser wouldn't do anything; at least, he needed to wait until Issei reappeared so that everything would be cleared up. 

Yet, Riser let out a helpless sigh as he needed to fight and fight again, then disappeared and appeared in Kyoto again, ready to start a war against the Chinese Myth and Hindu Myth.
