Zaydas saw everything that happened from beginning to end and let those behind Borsalino's Den Den Mushi see it too.
When everyone was defeated, from Zaydas's shadow, a black wolf manifested and devoured them all.
In an instant, something shone in his retina.
[593,747 AP!]
The fall of the World Government, along with the fact that he converted all of them into AP, yielded many points.
Reality triggered their significance. A significant record that is worth so much AP.
'With this, I have some extra preparations in case someone from DC suddenly shows up,' Zaydas thought.
It's not strange for him to think that way, even though he wants to avoid thinking about it — this has always been his biggest concern.
If his dimension is seen as more dangerous even than TSSDK's, it can only mean one thing: just as his mother is from DC, the dimension that DxD is linked to is precisely DC.
If he doesn't take precautions, who knows what kind of monster might crawl out of the sewer, even more dangerous than Trihexa / Beast of the Apocalypse 666?
He didn't even know if he would be able to defeat Trihexa, and in DC, there were those who far surpassed Trihexa.
'Okay, I won't think too much about it now.' Zaydas sighed softly.
This kind of thought is something he prefers to avoid. Thinking too much about it makes him unable to stop worrying constantly. A life like that is tiring and dull. Better to prepare for the worst, but not expect the worst.
"What a bunch of scary kids~" Borsalino said that, but his actions contradicted him. He was sitting beside Zaydas on the sofa, even in a relaxed posture, drinking tea.
If the Den Den Mushi were still facing him, the marines might want to eat him alive.

Last time, Zaydas did a sweep and robbed the World Nobles, but of course, not everything was stolen.
This time, he searched meticulously after sending all those 'World Nobles' to a deserted island.
No guards, no money, and with a slave mark that doesn't fade… They would have to live a normal life and depend on themselves.
As for those who were World Nobles but had no mark, he sent them to a different island.
Sending them to the same place would be unfair on his part — after all, the lazy ones might want to take advantage of the hardworking ones.
...
In the Great Tree, Little Garden. In the main trunk where a mansion was created and the center that connects to other dimensions.
Everyone had gathered after taking a bath and changing clothes in the dining room.
They were having afternoon tea while chatting.
"But seriously." Rurushi said: "Zaydas, do you believe they'll do what you said?"
"Quite likely," he replied. "This kind of system is something used in my world. Although it's not perfect, it's better than living under the oppression of a government that treats its members like untouchable gods."
"True…" On that, she had no doubt.
Perfect system? No such thing exists.
All countries have their problems, be it corruption, poverty, etc.
However, the problems of this dimension's Government went far beyond that.
A simple Noble could decide the lives of thousands as if they were their owners.
Not to mention Imu's plans and ideals...
Leaving those troublesome matters aside for now, Zaydas began to plan his return.
After returning, there were things to do in 'DxD'.
───────────
Boa Hancock, currently the youngest Empress of the Island of Women.
Bartholomew Kuma, current king of the Sorbet Kingdom.
Kozuki Hiyori, acting as Leader of the Land of Wano.
For now, all three had already responded positively to his letter.
As for the rest, they hadn't responded yet, but he was in no rush.
"I'm returning, but I'll leave a clone in this world," Zaydas said.
In front of them, Benimaru and the rest were present.
He continued: "If you want, you can stay here on this planet. The flow of time will be the same as my world's, which means you won't need to worry about being on a planet with a different time flow. Or you can choose to return to your world, but there, time flows slower — in other words, even if a day passes for me, for you it will only be a few minutes."
"We'll stay in this dimension," Benimaru answered for everyone.
Or almost everyone.
Asia and the others who lived in "DxD" would return with him.

Wednesday, April 21, 2010. 6:20 in the morning.
Quickly, everyone went to get ready.
In his room, Grayfia helped him get dressed.
In truth, he could change with magic, but how could he trade that for the pleasure of having the privilege of his fiancée helping him get dressed?
After Grayfia finished adjusting his tie, she looked at him with that loving gaze.
Zaydas returned the look and wrapped her in a hug.
"Not now…" she murmured.
"Don't worry, I just want to hug my beautiful fiancée," he replied.
Grayfia's eyes smiled elegantly upon hearing that from him.

Returning to school the next day, for Zaydas, always felt like coming back from weeks- or month-long vacation.
After stepping out of the limousine with the girls, he shaded his face from the sun with his hand as he reflected nostalgically.
'Another thing I need to consider is…' he thought: 'With this, Grayfia-nee is almost 2 months pregnant.'
If he kept taking her to other dimensions, her pregnancy would become more obvious, and it wouldn't be long before she gave birth to the baby.
...
Entering the school, walking through the hallways, seeing students on their smartphones and chatting, Zaydas realized that his world was pleasant compared to other dimensions.
Of course there were injustices, but not everything was bad.
In One Piece, at least, if you found more than one island in good condition, it was a lot.
Even islands like Boa Hancock's, before, were hanging by a thread.
In the near future, they would even be hunted by the government/marines.
An island would be deemed divine simply because Imu wanted to test a weapon's power.
And those were just some of the small atrocities that happened.
Pirates like Kid would invade islands and devastate them, killing, raping, looting, etc.
Those unpleasant thoughts vanished the moment he arrived in the classroom.
"Good morning, Zaydas," Sona greeted him tactfully.
Seeing her adjust her glasses as she greeted him, Zaydas thought: 'Does she really believe that made her look smarter, or is it something natural for her?'
Next to Sona, Tsubaki smiled elegantly as she said, "Good morning, Zaydas-sama."
"Mm, good morning, Sona, Tsubaki," he replied.
When Zaydas went to his desk, Sona followed him.
After he sat down, Sona spoke: "Zaydas, can we talk later?"
Looking at her, he nodded. "Sure. Come to the rooftop during break time."
"Mm." Nodding, she smiled slightly.
