Chapter 39: Blue Rose Sword

The Frozen Temple (3rd Person Pov)

Rias's peerage made their way through the temple at a steady pace. They were mainly distracted by the sculptures frozen by ice, what caught their attention the most was the 12 statues of people standing next to each other in an arc formation.

Underneath it, the sculptures read 'In honour of the twelve divine generals.' Rossweisse placed her hand on the writing whilst the other devils looked at it in awe.

Issei: The twelve divine generals?

Rias: They were warriors that worked for the Creator of the Multiverse Chaos, this one here

She points to the statue that looks to be a man holding a lance and with some sort of cape behind him

Rias: He was Karna, a famous warrior known for his kindness towards the citizens within the Chaos realm.

Rossweisse: These two are Solomon and Pyra

Rossweisse points to statues that have one woman and one man, one of them holding a claymore and the other holding ten rings

Rossweisse: I read that one of them I think it was Pyra was an artificial lifeform that Theodorus Astra created from Astral Energy

Asia: Astral Energy?

Akeno: The most powerful form of energy there is, it's rumoured that a pinch of astral energy is enough to destroy even the largest star in the universe without breaking a sweat

Issei: Hold on, why is it so powerful?

Rias: Astral energy is what binds our universe together, it's also what keeps other universes from clashing with ours

Issei: Other universes? Wait so does that mean Theodoros is capable of destroying the entire universe?

Kiba: Well he is the universe itself so if he ever felt like it I bet he could destroy us all in one go

Asia: Then... why are we helping a threat to the universe?

Rias: *Sighs* Theodorus or rather Y/n now isn't a threat, yes he holds higher authority over us and yes, he can destroy the whole universe whenever he wants but he doesn't seem like the type of person to do that without good reason

Gasper: W-What do you mean?

Rias: Think about it, legends state that Theodorus went round conquering both good and evil in multiple universes but have you ever stopped and thought why he conquered all those universes?

Gasper: No...

Rias: Exactly. My thoughts on it is that the reason he was declared to be chaotic neutral is because he was able to discern the true nature of the universe and determine whether it would benefit the multiverse or not to let that universe continue on, he may have went round conquering good and evil but I think he was only doing it for those he cared for

Asia: So you think he was a nice guy?

Rias: I think he was much nicer than what people let him on to be, that's why when they asked me to help them I didn't disagree

Whilst everyone was listening to Rias, Kiba looked at the statues then took a look at the last one on the right, he could tell it was a woman and he could see they wore a face mask but they held two spears, spears that he knew he's seen before.

He walked up to the two spears taking in their shape as he started to jog his memory of where he's seen them, he suddenly gasped catching the attention of everyone
