Chapter 371: Your return

Issei felt like he wanted to cry since he had been away for so long, but it didn't matter as he had returned.

[Partner...]

Ddrairg let out a helpless sigh as he thought how Issei had never changed, but wasn't it the reason why Issei could stay alive until now?

It was because Issei had always seen everything in a positive manner, and his pervertness would always give him strength.

[But are you ready, Partner? You are going to challenge him, you know?]

Even though Ddrairg hated Riser, he had to admit that Riser was strong.

"You don't need to worry, Ddraig. I will win! No, we will win! As long as we're together, we will be able to defeat anyone!"

Issei said confidently, especially when he thought about the power he gained from the Chichigami, the God of Breasts.

[You are right.]

Ddraig also had confidence when he thought about Chichigami.

Due to Chichigami, Issei was different from before. He was no longer just a normal human who was reincarnated as a devil. Instead, after his body was destroyed, he gained the body of Ddraig, the Red Dragon Emperor and one of the Heavenly Dragons. Moreover, he also gained the body of Chichigami, the God of another world.

The combination of the Heavenly Dragon and God gave him a powerful strength.

Even if Issei was stabbed by the poison from Samael once again, nothing would happen to him as his body from the Chichigami would protect him.

At this moment, whether it was Issei or Ddraig believed that they could defeat Riser. Still, at the same time, when they thought of Riser, they also felt chilled by Riser's viciousness as Riser used Diodora to kill him. Diodora definitely wasn't the only one, and there were many people who were used by Riser.

Issei knew that he couldn't let this evil go on the rampage in this world any longer, especially when Riser also planned to reach out his hand toward another world.

Issei was given power by Chichigami, and it was also due to this that he realized the great mission that was given to him.

Issei was going to protect this world!

Still, before that, Issei wanted to meet everyone first.

"I wonder how everyone is."

[Are you still going to become a devil, Partner?]

"Naturally! I want to become Buchou's strength no matter what, after all."

For Rias, Issei would do anything.

Ddraig looked at Issei helplessly, but he didn't say anything. Still, he knew that Issei might say something with dignity or worthy of being admired since Issei would do anything for the woman he liked, but he knew that this guy was just lustful toward Rias' breasts.

"Buchou, I am coming!"

Issei was ready to meet Rias, but suddenly, a burly figure suddenly appeared before him.

"Issei-senpai!"

"?!"

Issei and Ddraig were startled and felt like their hearts almost stopped. However, the one who appeared not only this burly figure but there were many others around this figure.

"Wh-Who are you guys?!"

Even though Issei had become powerful, his mentality was still the same as ever. He had never thought of himself as special and thought of himself as nothing but a perverted high school.

There was no doubt that Issei was full of contradictions.

When Issei met someone that he didn't like, he would pretend that he was above them, but when he met someone that he didn't know, he would cower and feel slightly inferior, especially when all the guys who appeared in front of him were handsome!

Why the hell are all of them guys?!

I want girls!

Still, Issei lamented, wondering why the one who greeted him was a group of guys, but even so, their sudden appearance startled him, and he quickly made a fighting gesture, ready to fight all of them.

Yet, strangely enough, Issei didn't feel any animosity from them. Instead, all he felt was like they were seeing... a hope?

What was happening?

Whether Issei or Ddraig felt confused since they had just been away for a while, but why was there so much change?

Before they were reincarnated, Chichigami had told them that they had been away for a few months; what could happen in those few months?

If it had been a few years, Issei might have panicked, but this was just a few months, after all, so there should have been nothing, right?

Moreover, why was the robust and muscular man in front of him quite familiar for some reason?

As Issei squinted his eyes, wondering who this man was, everyone who saw Issei felt like they were saved.

Issei might not realize it, but his body exuded a special aura that would give anyone who believed in him hope, especially when Chichigami had become part of his body, causing a Divinity to exude.

At this moment, Issei had become the combination of a man, a dragon, and a god.

Issei was simply the hope of everyone who had been living in a torment of both fear and oppression.

They knew that as long as they had this man, they could defeat that devil, they thought.

Yet, Issei didn't know that since he didn't even realize that he was a special existence.

Nevertheless, Gasper, from the future, was already in tears when he saw Issei. In his timeline, everything was ravaged, and he was the only one that escaped.

No, with his power, it should be impossible for him to escape.

If there was a reason why he could escape, it was all due to Issei from the future, giving him a chance to go to the past, so he wouldn't waste this chance, and he was going to save everyone!

Still watching Gasper from the future, who cried, Issei was startled and asked unsurely, "...Gasper?"

"Yes, Issei-senpai?"

"GASPER?!" Issei and Ddraig almost popped their eyes out since the girly young man had become such a muscular man.

"What's happening? How could you become like... this?"

Issei couldn't believe his junior, who always dressed in the girl uniform, would suddenly become like this. Still, he shook his head and suddenly had a bad premonition.

"What about Buchou? Asia-chan? Akeno-san? And Koneka-chan? Let's go and meet them!"

With such anticipation, Issei wanted to meet everyone, but Gasper, from the future, didn't know how to explain this matter.

"Wh-What? What's wrong?"

"Issei-senpai, calm down." Gasper took a deep breath and said, "Rias-buchou and everyone had been taken by Riser Lucifer."

"....." Issei.
