He believes that wars will give birth to strong people.”
……Though I don’t know how much of that is the truth…… It seems like Indra would do anything in order to win against Shiva. ––Then a communication-type magic-circle comes to me. It appears automatically next to my ear. I then receive a call from the other side. This is just a call I receive at fixed times. I will communicate with them directly afterwards. ––––! ……I couldn't believe my own ears at the information I am getting. “……Grendel……and Lucifugus……?”
……What, what is going on……? So something insane is going on in Japan again! Grendel!? Shouldn't that guy have already been eliminated!? And the Khaos Brigade? This matter goes around inside my head. The Vampires that got possession of the Holy Grail, stray magicians,the Khaos Brigade that is reorganising itself, the members of the “Khaos Brigade” that are appearing at the places Vali is investigating, the survivor from Lucifugus, and the appearance of the legendary Dragon that was supposed to have been eliminated. ……Maybe they are all connected? The timings are too perfect. A situation which makes me think that it’s something that couldn’t be avoided. If everything ties into one thing……then there isn’t anything more dangerous……! And Euclid Lucifugus—. I have browsed through a bit of data about him before. The rebellion that happened between the Devils in the past, the internal conflict between the old government and the anti-government which has Sirzechs as their ace. Grayfia’s real brother's living or dead status became unknown during that time. That is Euclid Lucifugus. Officially, he’s said to be dead, and I have heard that Grayfia said that she doesn’t think her brother is alive. He happens to be alive, and he’s the one who is leading the organisation……? No, even if he has the strength to do so, there is something missing from him which would allow him to become the head of those crazy bastards. That is charisma––. Even if you aren’t as famous as Ophis, they still need a person who deserves the place of being a Boss. It’s the Lucifugus who has been standing next to those who stand at the very top since their birth. So I can’t think that Euclid is the new Boss. ……So who is the mastermind behind it? Who was the core member that brought the Khaos Brigade together within this short time……? Did they make a new Ophis from the power of Ophis that they stole? That’s possible, but that would mean they need someone very strong who can manipulate the new Ophis. The strong person, that is the new Boss. Hades and Śakra……no, they can’t be. The former will definitely get exiled by the Chief-God Zeus if he causes another stir. The latter……Indra’s main objective is the battle against Shiva. Even if they were plotting something between them, there would be no merit for them to become the Boss of the terrorists. The Khaos Brigade that is hated by each faction, and is the gathering of the hated ones from each faction——. The one who will be at the top is someone strong who is turning into a puppet, or simply a bastard who is insanely crazy. I hit my own knee to release the ill feelings that I am carrying. “Khaos Brigade” ——. The organisation of terrorists that has gathered those who are dissatisfied with the current structure of each faction. The Bosses who have actually been controlling them have changed several times. Shalba Beelzebub from the Old-Maou faction, and Cao Cao from the Hero-faction——. They are still active even after losing Ophis——. No matter how it changes inside, the existence of the “Khaos Brigade” is going to stand in our way. The organisation itself will continue to be active, no matter how many times we crush them——. “Rias, Kiba looks like something troublesome is going to happen.”
While driving through the mists which you can’t see through, I start my discussion with them about what happened in Japan, and how we will be coping with it from now——.
