Chapter 6: Greed

The alienation leader remembers well the words that Akio said to them, even though it is hard to give up something that can create a weapon that kills their race. but they have to bet, Sacred Gear is not easy to create because it requires special techniques to create.

Azazel was an eyewitness when Bilbe created many of these things. requires a high level of precision to install a lot of magic circuits and connect it all perfectly. just one mistake then the object is considered a failure.

That's why even Azazel only made a few of them for himself or to strengthen his race, and currently, Akio as a faction on the human side wanted the data.

They were afraid to imagine what would happen to them when he succeeded in creating more Sacred Gear, but they did not need to worry because Azazel guaranteed that his entire research team or those working under him would not be allowed to be involved in the development carried out by Akio, if it was true what they thought happened.

"I see" - Sirzechs signaled Ajuka to give the document, but before giving it he whispered something in his ear.

"Sorry Sirzechs, we have to reconsider the request. As you know, Sacred Gear is a very dangerous object if it falls into the wrong hands. If this data about Sacred Gear is given out, anyone could easily create a clone that could jeopardize the safety of our race."

Sirzechs looked at Ajuka with confidence. "I understand Ajuka, just trust me with this"

Although Ajuka was still a little doubtful of his colleague, after seeing how confident he was, there was nothing his colleague could do anymore. He gave the document into Sirzechs' hands and allowed him to give the data to Akio.

He walked forward and stopped right in front of Akio, because of the almost equal height difference. The eyes that stared at each other contained the power behind his ambition to conquer the opponent.

"Before I give you this...can I trust you if you don't use this as a form of poaching or war in the future?" - He asked which made everyone agree and nervously wait for Akio's answer.

Akio thoughtlessly answered. "I can understand your situation...but, I am principled. I will use this data as a means of developing new technologies and innovations for our faction or other human beings. It sounds ridiculous but that is our new goal, to prove that we humans can be self-sufficient without the help of you and other human beings. Humans can be independent without your help and also we firmly reject slavery under the guise of rescue, you must know that I hate slavery in any form because it violates human norms and human freedom rights."

The Sirzechs and the people who heard Akio's reply were shocked and amazed by her steadfastness and integrity. They never thought that someone who was considered an enemy could have such a clear and noble vision. There was growing mutual respect between them, despite the differences and conflicts between their races.

Georg seemed proud of what Akio had said, while the others were divided. Some liked his idea and some disliked it, as slavery was already their tradition.

Azazel whistled on the side while muttering "Brave man~"

While the others had their thoughts about their opinions on the Akio they met today.

"Sigh~...although I agree with what you said we have our situation, mah." - Sirzechs massaged his temple with one hand while the other hand held the document.

Then he gave the document containing their research data to Akio when the data was in his hands. he immediately gave it back to Georg to check whether the data was genuine or fake.

Georg gave a thumbs up as a sign that the data was guaranteed authenticity.

"Alright, show me where the room is" - Akio folded his shirt sleeves with a serious look directed at Sirzechs.

...

Inside the room, only a few people were able to witness firsthand. There were 10 people in the room including Akio and Georg.

Akio saw the body of a familiar man, lying weakly on the bed having a faint green light which was the magic that his spirit was still active.

Akio cannot restore the soul of a dead person, it is taboo if a living being avoided death by reincarnating which is not following the provisions of the universe, a person's life is something very sacred.

Every living being must face what is called death, Akio himself has faced death itself but he always avoided it at the last moment, whether it is external factors or factors that come from himself as a survival instinct under any circumstances.

His teacher also not only taught him how to fight but also taught him the values of life.

Therefore Akio can only make him avoid death in this way, even though time magic itself is a taboo. because time cannot go backward, because the life of a creature continues to move forward.

Before healing Issei, Akio accidentally saw his right hand covered in dragon scales in the shape of a dress. seeing that, he turned his head towards someone.

Then, Azazel who noticed it immediately told him "Ah~...that's his Sacred Gear...if you know what kind of Sacred Gear it is, then there's no need to worry...because since you froze time on Issei's body, the Welsh Dragon froze along with him."

Everyone nodded, Akio just sighed for a moment then turned back to Issei...many people speculated that Issei's soul disappeared into Akio's sword a few days ago. so did he fool Rias and others, who said the same thing as what the four leaders of the alienation thought?

What happened was, Issei's soul was completely damaged by the attack at the time. although he realized at this time he would experience a mental illness similar to amnesia because he forgot his own identity.

And Akio didn't tell them the news and just waited until they realized something was wrong.

As Akio withdrew her hand from Issei's forehead, her right hand was seen carrying a girdle covered in dragon scales. Then, three differently shaped magic circles swirled in the air followed by the other hand pulling on the existing magic circles. The magic circles multiplied until they covered Issei's entire body. People were amazed by the magic performance. Not only was it beautiful, but it was also complex and required such precision that other magic practitioners needed more people to perform it.

[Spirit White Realisation: Recovery]

He said in a low tone, and then the magic circle exploded, giving everyone a blinding white light. It was only a small incident, and then it was followed by a large number of white butterflies that came out of nowhere that surrounded the bed and landed on Issei's body until the man who was lying down was covered by white butterflies.

Although everyone was speechless by the magic that Akio performed, magic that showed a dramatic process to their eyes, it was beautiful because everyone felt the warmth that not only healed their bodies but their mentality as well.

It was evident when Asia accidentally got one of the butterflies on one of her fingers, and instantly felt healed all at once. Tier 8 magic, a legacy from the glory days, is very rare and difficult to learn. It was currently being used to its fullest, not only to heal Issei but also for everyone in the room.

Moments later, Issei's eyes began to move, making everyone who was his friend rush over to him.

"Urg~" - After a long time, he opened his eyes which made his companions who had been waiting for him hold their breath as they watched him gradually open his eyes.
