Chapter 596 Merely a Rat in the Gutter
This nationwide sacrifice incident.
Finally came to a perfect close.
Apart from Tokyo.
Ordinary people in other cities hadn't noticed anything different.
For Ayato, this was the first time he had mobilized so many of his servants.
Now that the great deed was done, a celebration was natural.
The entire apartment was very lively.
"Ayato-chan, can you use your Authority again?"
"Sister Grayfia, you're so perverted."
"Just tell me if you like it or not."
"Hehehe, Master at this time is so cute."
The women's noisy voices constantly echoed throughout the room.
Because in various worlds, many servants had things to do, so they naturally had to seize the opportunity to connect with others.
An invisible word magic barrier spread, adhering to the floors, walls, and even the entire apartment.
Because it had often been baptized by Ayato's power, the entire apartment's material had undergone subtle changes.
Ayato sat on a soft, smooth chair, calmly performing his ever-changing divine ability.
Among all his Authorities, this one was currently his most proficient.
After all!
It was the most frequently used.
In the living room.
Gabriel served Ophis a cup of black tea.
Across from her.
Ophis was restless, her face flushed.
The high-pitched sounds almost made her faint.
She pointed upstairs and said softly, "Um... are they always like this?"
"Yes, you'll get used to it."
Gabriel sighed, taking a light sip of tea.
"How could anyone possibly get used to something like this?"
Ophis complained helplessly.
Was the servant group she had joined a bit too improper?
Gabriel looked at her and said softly, "Trust me, biological adaptability is terrifyingly strong."
Once upon a time.
She also never believed she would get used to all this.
But now.
Hearing the sounds, aside from a bit of shyness, she no longer had any excessively strong reactions.
Whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, she didn't know.
Ophis: "..."
Why did she feel like this Seraph's face was written with stories?
She wouldn't end up like this too, would she?
But soon.
She had no time to worry about that.
Because the indescribable sounds grew even more high-pitched.
"Damn it..."
She clenched her small fists. Her body began to twist unconsciously.
A strange emotion rose in her heart.
A few days later.
Ayato once again lived a leisurely life.
All his servants had returned to their respective bases.
And he, on ordinary days, also read books to gain Origin points.
It was worth mentioning that Ophis had only stayed a few days before choosing to leave Ayato's apartment.
She never forgot her wish.
She wanted to return to the Dimensional Gap.
Then, when she found Great Red, she could directly summon him to fulfill her original wish.
Occult Research Club.
"I never imagined you could even take Ophis as your servant."
Rias leaned against Ayato, using her crimson hair to poke his face.
Slap!
Ayato knocked her hand away and said helplessly, "It's very itchy, you know."
"Hmph, I did it on purpose."
Rias coquettishly snorted, then said seriously, "But this is a good thing."
"I believe the Khaos Brigade will probably disband soon."
"What are you thinking?"
Ayato had a strange look on his face. "Who told you the Khaos Brigade would disband?"
"With Ophis under your control and no leader, is there any reason for the Khaos Brigade to continue existing?"
"It seems you really don't know anything."
Ayato sighed.
"Ayato, if you keep being this cryptic, I'm not talking to you anymore."
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you."
"The truth is, Ophis is only the nominal leader of the Khaos Brigade. She basically doesn't manage anything."
"She was put forward because the name Ouroboros Dragon could better attract ambitious people to join."
"Ultimately, she's not much different from a puppet. She's just a simple symbolic mascot."
Rias: "..."
Her expression was a bit stunned.
What was this?
Such a big boss wasn't the leader, and there was a mastermind behind the scenes?
If that was the case.
Just how terrifying was the true leader of the Khaos Brigade?
"Don't make that face. It's not as scary as you think."
Ayato stroked her hair. "Merely a rat in the gutter."
