DxD: The Holy Knight!

The brave saint cards created by heaven to transform humans into angels relied on the power of faith.

This was entirely different from the method Yasuhiro used to enable their rebirth into angels.

Although heaven hadn't produced any cards yet, he was the one who developed the final stage of their reincarnation technology.

He undeniably took some research results from the devil reincarnation system.

Because of this, he knew a great deal about cards.

He was fully aware of the differences between his own creations and the mass produced brave saint cards from heaven.

Previously, heaven researched reincarnation technology to increase the angel population that had stagnated after the death of the biblical god.

This goal aligned closely with the underworld's intentions.

If all brave saint cards were made using Yasuhiro's method, the resulting angels would be much stronger.

Utilizing a person's origin effectively enhanced the potential and power of the reincarnated user, often granting them special abilities.

But an origin was a fundamental part of existence, meaning it wasn't something just anyone could afford to consume.

At the very least, beings below ten winged angel risked a permanent decline in strength if they tapped into their origin.

Even seraphs would suffer the exact same fate if they used up too much.

Yasuhiro's cards focused entirely on quality over quantity making them an excellent choice.

Yet, this approach wasn't suitable for the current state of heaven.

The world appeared peaceful on the surface, but dark undercurrents were constantly surging.

Many factions within the various pantheons harbored ulterior motives.

Weakening the current fighting force of heaven just to increase its future potential wasn't a smart strategy.

Furthermore, Yasuhiro's brave saint cards only provided the basic effect of angel reincarnation.

They lacked any inherited combat skills, which was another reason heaven gave up on his specific method.

"Lady Gabriel," Akeno greeted the woman with exceptional respect.

In terms of hierarchy, Akeno was Yasuhiro's direct subordinate.

Gabriel, as a seraph, held a high position in heaven that commanded the respect of every single angel.

Akeno, who had just been reborn into the faction was obviously no exception.

"You are developing your own lightning now. What a talent." Gabriel praised with a warm smile.

Gabriel sensed the familiar aura within Akeno's body.

Although it was still weak, even acting as a mere facade right now, there was no denying she was nurturing lightning.

Having a fairly good understanding of this power, the seraph could also sense that the lightning nurtured by Akeno was slightly different from Baraqiel's version.

Gabriel couldn't help but marvel at Akeno's talent.

At such a young age, the girl had already started forming her own unique spells.

Even with the foundation laid down by Baraqiel, it didn't diminish her personal talent in the slightest.

"I don't possess the talent to independently develop my own holy lightning from scratch."

"I merely borrowed the experiences of others." Akeno replied modestly.

Although she spoke modestly, receiving genuine praise from one of the four seraphs made her feel a little proud.

She had never cared about such things before, but the recognition from Gabriel was hard to ignore.

Yasuhiro felt a rare moment of appreciation for Akeno.

In just a few hours since leaving the shrine with Rias, the shrine maiden had already understood a small part behind Dulio's lightning.

In his eyes, Akeno's performance was quite impressive.

Akeno noticed the approving look in Yasuhiro's eyes and felt a surge of smugness.

She certainly hadn't forgotten how he had taught her a lesson just a few hours earlier.

They then walked up to the church on the mountain.

Once inside, they saw that the cross had been turned into a blasphemous mockery by the fallen angels.

To make matters worse, there were fresh bloodstains all over the basement.

This gruesome scene made Gabriel angry.

It was easy to imagine that the fallen angels and stray exorcists who were sent to the church headquarters in europe would be punished far more severely under Gabriel's wrath.
