Chapter 224: Do you want Sacred Gear?

To take out a "Sacred Gear" from someone, there was a certain ritual that needed to be done.

Riser, who had taken all the research data about the Sacred Gear, naturally knew the method.

However, when a Sacred Gear was taken out from the host's body, the host would die.

Yet, this was something normal as a Sacred Gear was akin to part of the host's body. If Riser gave an example, it was like how one would die when their heart was taken out. Naturally, when the Sacred Gear was taken out, it would give a similar reaction.

Frankly, if possible, Riser didn't want to commit a meaningless murder.

For his enemies, he might not hesitate to kill, but it was different from innocents who didn't have any involvement with him.

However, for a greater purpose, everything had to be done.

Riser found the man in the diner as it seemed that the man was in the middle of lunch. Nevertheless, this wasn't a problem for him as he beat this guy up directly, making him pass out when he was using the "Area of Invisibility."

When he did this, there was no doubt that the people around would notice the strangeness, but with "Falsifier," there was no need to worry.

At this moment, everyone was already affected by an illusion, and even if all of them noticed something strange about the owner of the Sacred Gear, they wouldn't think anything and continued with their lunch and work as if nothing had happened.

Still, Riser didn't immediately remove the Sacred Gear from the man. Instead, he took a peek at the memory of the man.

"So his name is Magnus Rose."

Even though Riser didn't care much about the name of this person, he wished to know the identity of this person as he wondered whether this man was a man of importance.

"CIA agent?"

Riser was surprised as he didn't expect the CIA to be involved in the supernatural world. Frankly, the supernatural world, or this side of the world, was like the other side, and it was hidden from the majority of humans. Naturally, it included the governments of various countries, and only a few knew about them, so due to this, the existence of the supernatural was kept a secret, especially when no one wished to share it with others.

It was like when one got a secret knowledge that they wished to keep by themselves instead of sharing it with others.

However, the existence of the Khaos Brigade destroyed everything.

Due to the fake Phenex Tears that circulated within the Underworld, even the governments of various countries also started to notice the existence of the supernatural world.

To be honest, whether humans knew about the supernatural world or not, it didn't really matter.

A human might have a number, but against the might of a supernatural being, they were nothing.

The power of science might be amazing, but didn't the supernatural world master a similar thing?

Moreover, the one who controlled the modern weapon was a human.

As long as one controlled the leader of the human, everything would crumble.

As a CIA agent who also had the power of Sacred Gear, Magnus was tasked to investigate the fake Phenex Tears and many anomalies that happened within various parts of the country.

Nevertheless, Riser didn't care about that and just took out the Sacred Gear from Magnus' body with "Degrenate."

"Unknown Dictator. This is the name of this Sacred Gear?"

It was also known as the Imperial Child of Machine World.

Frankly, the original ability of this Sacred Gear was to manipulate iron, but due to the death of God, it seemed this Sacred Gear had evolved further, giving it the ability to manipulate and create electronic devices and mechanical equipment of the modern day.

If it was in the past, this Sacred Gear might not be that powerful as it lacked a punch compared to the Longinus.

However, Riser knew in the modern world, this Sacred Gear was frightening as it could control almost everything.

Information, electrical devices, weapons, and many others.

Gaining the power of this Sacred Gear, Riser thought that it worked perfectly with "Gatsu Gatsu no Mi," which he had eaten previously. To be honest, he had a crazy idea.

With "Researcher," "Blacksmith Mastery," and "Gutsu Gutsu no Mi," Riser thought to create a weapon that could watch over the world and kill those who thought to harm him from a distance without him needing to walk out by himself.

With those thoughts, he wondered what kind of a weapon that he needed to create.

However, with this "Unknown Dictator," Riser thought of one weapon that suited his needs.

Satellite.

Yes, a satellite.

Riser is thought to have created a satellite where it could be used to monitor the world and kill anyone who opposed him. Moreover, no one would be able to tell he owned this weapon as he manipulated it remotely, and it was located in space. Unless one went to space, it was simply impossible for anyone to find or destroy it.

His idea might be crazy, but he knew that it was possible.

With all of the skills he had collected, this project was possible to be realized.

'Wait, it should be possible for me to train in space, right?'

Riser knew that training on Earth was almost meaningless for him, and training in space seemed to be more beneficial for him as the harsh environment in space seemed to be able to make him grow stronger.

'Should I go to space?'

Riser looked up and thought for a moment before he shook his head. There were still many things that he needed to do on Earth, and it might be better to go to space after he solved all of those problems.

To be honest, with his speed, it wouldn't be a problem for him to go to space, but he felt that he might as well wait until he created the satellite weapon that he envisioned.

As he got his hands on the Sacred Gear, he looked at Magnus, who still passed out. Killing him was easy as he knew that he had the power to do so, but he decided to use the power of his "Memo Memo No Mi."

"Echo Erasure."

Riser said those words softly, and all the memories of "Unknown Dictator" were erased from this world, not only the humans who had such a recollection of this Sacred Gear but all the supernatural beings.

Still, he didn't expect that it would take so much of his Demonic Power.

Nevertheless, it didn't matter as he wished to clear up everything and erase the existence of this Sacred Gear so no one could tell that he had taken this Sacred Gear from Magnus. Moreover, with his "Perfect Crime," he also erased all the traces of this Sacred Gear, whether it was from heaven, Grigori, or anywhere else.

Every trace of this Sacred Gear was erased from this world, and the only one who knew about the existence of this Sacred Gear was him.

Moreover, Riser also modified Magnus' memory so this guy wouldn't notice something amiss within his memory. He wasn't in a hurry and did it slowly, as it was also a way for him to practice his new power. Nevertheless, he had to say that this technique was amazing and probably also worked on individuals as he could make someone's existence forgotten by everyone.

Yet, compared to the "Memo Memo no Mi," Riser was more impressed at the ability of "Perfect Crime," as it could alter reality so it would erase the existence of the "Unknown Dictator" from this world.

Fortunately, this was just a normal Sacred Gear, and it wasn't Longinus, so it was easier to erase.

However, Riser knew that it would be different from Longinus, and the energy he needed to use would be so enormous that he would alter the memories of powerful beings.

Nevertheless, everything was worth it.

After all, the potential of this Sacred Gear wasn't lost to any Longinuses. Moreover, his hard work to not kill someone just because he wished to steal a Sacred Gear also bore him to develop a frightening ability.

Still, Riser looked at the time and saw that there was still time, so he went to Texas to get another Sacred Gear, which was suitable for him.

As Riser left, Magnus and the others weren't affected by the illusion once again, and they returned to how they used to be without noticing anything, as if it was just any other day.
