Chapter 44 - Chapter 44: Beginning of Expansions and Collecting Gears (3)

'Is he planning on making them like Sacred Gears!?' She paled for a second imagining those ships turning into massive Japanese mechs…

'My imagination is running wild… I should lessen the amount of Gundams I am watching…' The current Leviathan shook her head internally; she was imagining far too much…

There was no way her Master would turn those ships into mechs!

"I see… Well, I suppose it's not a bad hobby to have. Anyway, on another note, I have the information you wanted!" Serafall smugly pulled out an envelope from somewhere and handed it over to him.

"Hoh? Stuff on Cao Cao? Let's see how many people he has recruited." He replied and with an excited face he opened the envelope and checked the information that the Leviathan had gathered in detail .

'Jeanne, Hercules, Sieg, Arthur, Le Fay… Heh? The Pendragon pair have not yet joined Vali… interesting… the last location was around Greece… assuming they will be recruiting Perseus soon…'

While Marcus read through the papers Serafall was closely looking at his expression. She saw him being quite excited and happy with the amount of rarer Sacred Gears these people collected just for him.

"You will be collecting them then? The True Longinus… it will...attract the attention of Heaven." The Black-haired beauty said to him as she looked at Cao Cao's picture.

"Good for them. They had years to recover it."

"They did. Many previous exorcists had it and they were under Heaven banner. But like any other gear, the Heaven system is quite random with the gear placement. The Angels didn't expect someone from China to receive the spear." Serafall explained to him.

"As I said they had years. Years to patch the system, years to upgrade it and perfect it. At this point, I see nothing more than the fact that they don't care who has the True Longinus. It's not my problem that they are incompetent in fixing and running the system."

The current Leviathan could hear her Master's distaste towards Heaven's faction. Assuming he doesn't like them because of how they can't run Heaven's system.

'This is too early for me to decide if he is going to have a cold relationship with them or not. There is still a chance of that bitch pulling something out of her large tits!' The black-haired beauty furrowed her eyebrows for a moment, thinking about that woman who wears a mask more than she ever does!

"Not everyone is at your level, Master. If my guess is right, then that blonde has tried many times to fix the system. But unfortunately for him, he wasn't created to run it…" She used the moment to jab some at the current leader of Heaven.

"...I suppose so. Nonetheless, I will be leaving for Greece. I will be back shortly." He said after giving another glance at the envelope.

"Be careful… It's the home of the Greek Pantheon. There is a chance you will encounter another one of their Deities." Serafall said with a little bit of concern. Not for his safety or anything like that. Well, she was a little bit concerned about it. But she was more concerned about what kind of things he could pull. She doesn't want the most eccentric Pantheon to start having weird ideas about her Master.

"Irrelevant. I don't care about them. I have no interest in them at this moment. I will leave them alive." He said casually as he started walking back to the main floor.

Serafall grimaced hearing that. He is treating them as something as if they were a nuisance. Like they are no threat and he is the one deciding their fate.

Then again if she had such a gear like he does, she wouldn't be afraid of anything…

"I see… while I don't care or anything…" that's a big lie and he saw through it as he looked back at her with a raised eyebrow.

"You shouldn't just provoke them… their egos are fragile…"

"As I said, it's irrelevant. For one I know their power and their scaling. I already scanned their divine energy. And I even have their DNA. My magic negation system is attuned to their energy As much as I have towards regular humans, dragons, devils and now Greek Gods." He explained casually while shrugging his shoulders.

"If… you say so. I don't want you to cause any incident which will cause them to move."

"Move? Move where? Even if they discover my home location by some miracle, there will only be less pantheon in the world by the end of it.

I am not going to take their mountain or anything like that, I am only going to collect and purge wanted criminals." He simply told her what would happen to the Greek Gods if they were to get any 'funny' ideas of trying to find him.

Serafall could only gulp down nervously. She doesn't want to know what the devil council will do once they find out that their P.O.D has been recreated by a human.

She can already imagine egos flying high and Marcus not caring about at all. Which could easily lead to devil extinction…

[Freedom Scale Mail MK II is ready and Standby!]

Marcus checked the system of his suit before walking towards where the ceiling was lowered and the driveway could be seen.

Moments later he was outside

"Deploy wings, time to fly south."

[C.E.F.S deployed]

The whole wings ignited on his back as Marcus rushed high into the air.

A few seconds later he was already very high in the air and the scale mail was connected to a GPS satellite to assist him in flying towards his destination.

Less than an hour later the visor changed into a magic view and the teen inventor started looking around for his targets.

'Hmm… well this is going to be quite annoying…'

Several hours later Marcus finally found multiple Sacred Gears signatures in a single area. His eyes lit up as he flew there.

Soon enough he found several bunch of people resting in a makeshift looking warehouse.

Assuming they don't want a high profile because of the Greek Pantheon.

'Hmm? What's this… there is a layer of some sort of energy in the air.'

"Scan the energy in the air."

[Scanning…]

[...37%]

[71%]

[91%]

[Scan complete]

Moments later, a portion of Marcus' vision was covered by the new window.

"Heh… Georg's Sacred Gear. So instead of hiding themselves in a dimension, they use this as an early warning alarm.

As anything bigger would attract the pantheon. Quite smart."

Reading a bit more on the barrier, the teen inventor found out how it worked…

"In the end, I don't have to worry about this…"

Marcus lifted his right arm as Phobos appeared in his right hand.

He pointed it towards where Georg was sleeping.

"Deploy negation magic field target Sacred Gears signature."

[Deploying S.N.M.S.S]

With a burst of light from the energy wings, the whole Warehouse area was bombarded by the Solomon Negation Magic. Marcus pressed the trigger and a large bolt of electricity rushed forwards from the barrel.

BOOM

Electrical Crackle

"WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!!!"

The teen inventor heard a male voice shouting from inside the warehouse.

Marcus didn't stop as he started shooting more with both Deimos and Phobos. Bolts of lightning-like strikes of thunder descended onto the warehouse disabling the majority of the hero band members. The teen didn't stop there. As he continued before the majority were out, he then descended into the warehouse, most of the roof was already disintegrated so he could easily do that now.

"(Preemptive strike success.)"

Marcus said as he descended into the half-destroyed building.

"Who the fuck are you?" A big burly man said with an annoyed look as he slowly got up pushing away the debris from himself.

"(An inventor, engineer, enthusiast, Sacred Gear creator and collector. And you Cao Cao did a great favour to me for collecting so many rare gears.)" Marcus happily said as he lifted Phobos and pointed at the sweaty looking Chinese guy.

"Oh yeah!? Let's see how you're going to like thi---ahhhh!" A clap of thunder followed by a ball of lightning smashed into the tall muscular guy which should be the descendant of Heracles.

"(You are irrelevant. So be silent.)" The teen inventor said as he shot into the guy without even looking at him.

"You… who are you? I have never seen Sacred Gear like those…"

"(Did the part where I said an inventor, 'engineer and sacred gear creator' escape from you? Nonetheless, it doesn't matter. I am only talking with you since you did a favour to me. So, pick an underworld you want to go to and pray to the deity governing it.)" A rifle pointed at the Chinese guy who was sweating buckets. By this point he was looking around looking for a way to get out of this.

While also trying to call forth his True Longinus…

"Wait! we can discuss this! You are human! Right? I am trying---" A ball of lightning smashed into the guy as he didn't finish explaining.

"(I don't care what you are trying to do. Science is a priority. Your gear is the peak and The Longinus… unless you have something equivalent to that, there is no dialogue…)" The genius inventor said as he approached the downed man… magic circles appeared around him as moments later a translucent orb with a golden spear inside of it came out.

It was quickly collected. He then pointed Deimos at him and a pitch-black beam with red wisps erased the guy.

That moment a girly squeaked spread throughout the warehouse as Marcus quickly looked at the source and saw a blonde girl with blue eyes staring at him with a pale look.

He points Phobos at her.

"W-Wait! D-Don't shoot! I surrender! I surrender!" The girl did a Japanese style dogeza... going on her knees and touching the ground with her forehead.

"(You… are Jeanne… you have a Sacred Gear which creates Holy Swords…)"

"Yes! I can do that! I can create as many as you want! Just don't kill me!" She begged with a terrified look. Jeanne just witnessed how their strongest member turned into nothing right in front of her eyes.

"(Hmm… very well… tell me… is it true that you are the reincarnation of the Saint Joan of Arc?)" He asked her as he approached her.

The girl had to look quite high as the Scale mail made the inventor look almost like a giant.

And those glowing blue eyes from the helmet made him look even more monstrous.

"Yes! I am! The sacred gear is deeply connected to her soul. So, it became a generation thing. Not only that but according to the church we look extremely similar as well! All the reincarnations of Joan of Arc had the same Sacred Gear."

"(I see… very well. It is quite fascinating how the Gear doesn't detach after the user's death. Probably an extra system in place.)"

Jeanne gulped down when she heard death being mentioned so casually. She quickly realised that she ended up with a bonafide cold researcher…

"(I have decided. You will be coming with me. I will make you one of my maids. It will be a beautiful way of showing Heaven that, yes… their Saint is nothing more than a maid to me.)"

The blonde slowly nodded with a gulp. Yes, this is better than just dying!

"As you wish…" she said while bowing again.

Marcus nodded before turning around and starting to collect the other gears.

Once again Jeanne could only twitch each time she saw members of her old group cease to exist one by one…
