DxD: A World Where T*tties Defy Gravity [ Chapter 10: Highest Rank Female! ] (Patreon)

"Rex?" The Archangel asked. "May I speak privately with you about something?"

"Go for it, Michael." Rex replied, looking into the eyes of his father-in-law's current successor.

"Rex, I'm going to be blunt with you." Michael spoke, his voice slightly more serious than before. "I'm not sure you know this, but I've been talking a lot with Palutena, and with your willingness, I believe it would be beneficial, both for all of us in Heaven, who I know you think rather highly of, on the whole and for yourself, if Gabriel were to become one of your wives."

"Yeah, I've heard." Rex replied. "She told me, a couple of nights ago, that you were considering it. But... why?"

"Well," Michael replied. "You know that I trust you and Palutena, though the latter is unwilling to ascend to the Heavenly Throne, implicitly, but certain members of the Church, and even some low-ranking Angels are unwilling to trust either of you, under beliefs that you, a half-Devil, have infiltrated Heaven and wish to destroy it from the inside, and that Palutena is not the real God."

"Well, to be fair, she isn't." Rex replied. "But she's the closest thing to God that the Church and Heaven have got, so why are they complaining?" Michael sighed.

"I honestly can't answer that." Michael replied. "But I feel that the best, simplest, and only way to settle the growing dispute between us, the leaders of Heaven, and the lower levels, along with the Church, is to hold a union between you, arguably the highest-ranked male member of Heaven, aside from the seven males of the Ten Seraph, and the highest-ranked female member of Heaven, Gabriel. Plus" he added. "Gabriel thinks extremely highly of you. She talks of you quite often."

"I'm honoured to hear that, Michael." Rex replied, as he looked up to see Gabriel and Palutena still talking, rather animatedly. "But allow me to be blunt in return. If I and Gabriel are to get together, I'm worried that my more... carnal side will get the better of me, and I'll end up taking advantage of Gabriel. I mean, she's the Most Beautiful Woman in Heaven for a reason, and I would hate to see her fall, which would doubtlessly devastate her. Not only that, but I'd rather not deal with 90% of Heaven and 100% of the Church coming after my head on a pike as a result of that." He took a breath.

"It's for those reasons, Michael, that I'm not entirely sure that marrying Gabriel to me is the best option."

"Oh, I completely understand." Michael replied, holding a hand up. "However, for those exact reasons that you stated, I have faith that you can keep yourself under control, if not for Gabriel's sake, than for the sake of Heaven and the Church, or even for your own sake."

"Damn you and your boundless optimism." The silver-haired Nephalem muttered, before speaking out loud. "Okay, Michael. I'll give it some thought."

"Thank you, Rex." Michael replied, bowing his head. "If you were to do this for Heaven, then we would be indebted to you as well."

Rex chuckled lightly, then got to his feet. Around that moment, Gabriel and Palutena seemed to have finished their discussion.

Palutena stepped forward and created a magic-circle, which Rex stepped into.

As Gabriel waved at Rex, Palutena and her husband disappeared.

"We're baaaaack~!" Rex called, as he and Palutena came out in the sitting room of his villa in Menorca, Spain.

The living room was slightly more of a home cinema than a sitting room, as there were three large sofas, situated in an open square as in three sides of the 'square' were filled up, and the final one was not, leaving it open, and all facing the 110-inch Samsung, which was currently turned off. "Anybody home?"

"In here, Rex!" Rex and Palutena both heard Akasha's voice coming from the kitchen, along with the light sound of munching.

When Rex and Palutena made their way into the kitchen, they saw Akasha sat on one of the stools, with the nun that Rex had brought from the Church sat next to her, eating a chicken sandwich.

Asia Argento looked up at the sight of Rex and Palutena, and immediately seemed to shrink at the sight of the two new people. Rex noticed this, and just shook his head.

"I'll be in the shower." He muttered to Palutena. "I didn't have one last night."

"Sure." Palutena replied, watching her husband leave, and watching Akasha go after him. Before he could enter his shower, Akasha caught up with her husband.

"Rex?"

"Hmm?"

"There..." Akasha paused for a moment, deciding on whether to tell Rex this or not, but then deciding to. "I felt that someone was trying to get through the wards, some time after you left."

"What?" Rex turned around.

"Yes." Akasha replied. "Three times, in quick succession. They were unsuccessful. Also, Penemue, Valian and Akeno have left, to go and spend time with Agrat, Azazel and their parents, respectively."

"Good." Rex replied. "Nice to know that these wards hold up. And I see." He pressed his lips against Akasha's, and walked into his shower-room.

Shedding his clothes, leaving him entirely naked, Rex removed his hair band, and placed it very carefully onto the sink, where he could view it at all times, and after turning on the hot water, stepped into the shower.

Grabbing some of his shower gel from the rack, Rex poured some out, and lathered it into his hair, while idly singing under his breath.

"Mama, put my guns in the ground... I can't shoot them, anymore... that cold black down is comin' down... Feels like I'm Knockin on Heaven's Door~"
