DxD: A World Where T*tties Defy Gravity [ Chapter 73: Offer To Akeno! ] (Patreon)

"Yea." Rex replied, unfurling his ten wings the sight of which caused Serafall to stop struggling against her best friend, and stare at Rex in shock while Fianna mentally wondered about how strong Rex had become, and considered testing it for herself in a sparring session or two and then dispelling them. 

"I guess you could say that. But you remember my other reason, right?"

"I do." Ajuka replied. "You said that, due to your young age of 18 years old, when you were first offered a set of Pieces, that you didn't think yourself responsible enough to deal with collecting servants for yourself. As much as your grandparents tried to convince you otherwise, you didn't budge. But 570 years later, has your opinion changed?"

"Well, I'm certainly more open to the idea. I just pushed it to the back of my mind, ever since I left the Gremory family." Rex replied, thinking for a moment. "Actually. You know what? I'll take a set of Pieces."

Ajuka smiled.

"Good man." He replied, opening a transportation-circle. "If you'll come with me, you can take them right away."

Before Rex stepped into the circle with Ajuka, he heard another door open, and Rias, accompanied by Mirajane and Kiba, came out of it. 

The three of them looked to be in varying shades of tiredness and exhaustion, though that didn't stop Rias from silently walking towards Rex.

Before the ten-winged Nephalem could ask what she was doing, Rias had pulled Rex into an extremely passionate lip-on-lip kiss, right in front of everyone, including all Four Satans, her parents, her best friend, her cousin, and two members of her peerage.

Though her kiss was passionate, Rex could feel a tingling of lust behind the kiss, and after half a minute, Rias had pulled away from Rex, and her blue eyes stared into his red ones.

"...Thanks." she whispered. "For, you know..."

"Yeah." Rex replied, pulling back. "How are Koneko and Isane?"

"Unconscious." Rias replied. "But they'll be fine."

"Cool." Rex replied. "See you around, Rias."

Rex followed Ajuka into the transportation-circle, and the two of them left, while Rias looked longingly after her nephew, unbridled lust in her eyes.

Rex and Ajuka seemed to appear in a room in Ajuka's laberatory, that had a large machine in the middle of it.

"What do I need to do?" Rex asked, looking at the machine.

"Just place your hand on the indicated spot." Ajuka replied, pointing to a spot with a handprint on it. "Then focus your power into that hand, and the Pieces will be created with the help of that power."

"Fair enough." Rex replied, walking towards the machine and placing his hand onto the indicated spot. After a minute or so, fifteen objects, fifteen chess pieces, coloured silver, shot out of the machine, and landed in a little bowl underneath the machine.

Ajuka bent down and scooped up the Evil Pieces, looking them over.

"Hmm." He said to himself. "Congratulations, Rex. You've got a Mutation Piece."

"A Mutation Piece?" Rex asked, blinking. He'd heard about the special type of Evil Piece that was said to only appear in one of every ten sets of Pieces. 

Ajuka had theorized, due to the numbers of Mutation Pieces had had existed over the years, that Mutation Pieces could be twice to eight times more than its original 'value', with a Mutation Pawn, originally only being worth one of itself, having the potential to be worth eight Pawns, a Mutation Knight or Bishop.

With a normal Knight/Bishop being worth three Pawns each, having the potential to be worth up to twenty-four Pawns, a Mutation Rook a normal Rook would be worth five Pawns having the potential to be worth up to forty Pawns, and a Mutation Queen a normal Queen would be worth nine Pawns having the potential to be worth up to seventy-two Pawns.

"Cool." Rex replied. "Which one?"

"...A Mutation Rook." Ajuka replied. "The same Mutation Piece as the one your father had when he gained his own peerage."

"Huh." Rex replied. "How powerful is the Mutation Rook?"

"It's worth 3 Rook Pieces, or 15 Pawn Pieces." Ajuka replied. "Not as much as your father's Mutation Rook, which was worth 5 Rook Pieces. And... how interesting." Ajuka muttered, taking the Queen Piece, inserting it into a machine, and beginning to seemingly run a scan on it. "Well, I don't think that's surprising."

"Don't think that is surprising?" Rex asked.

"That these Evil Pieces won't seem to reincarnate beings into Devils." Ajuka replied. "Instead, judging by the scans I've run on this Queen Piece... they'll reincarnate as Devil/Angel Hybrids, or Nephalems. Just like yourself."

"I... I see." Rex replied. "Do you think that this might be due to me being a Nephalem, Ajuka?"

"It's the best explanation I can come up with." Ajuka replied, taking the Queen piece out of the machine, placing it, and the rest of the pieces, into a small box, before handing the box to Rex. "Good luck with making your peerage, Rex."

"Thanks, Ajuka." Rex replied, before creating a transportation-circle of his own, and leaving the laboratory.

Rex came out of his own silver transportation-circle, and greeted Palutena, Akeno, Valian, Akasha, Kuroka, Asia and Tobio, who were all sat on the sofa.

"Hey, everyone." Rex greeted them. "Nice game, huh?"

"Very." Palutena replied. "I enjoyed it a lot."

"I think we all did, nya." Kuroka replied. "How's my little sister?"

"Unconscious, but fine." Rex replied. "Anyway, I brought home a little souvenir." Rex then showed off his box of Evil Pieces."

"So, you got them, did you?" Palutena asked. "Who do you plan to be a member of your peerage?"

"Yea, I did." Rex replied. "And as for who I want in my peerage, I've got a few ideas." He looked at Akeno, Akasha and Valian. Taking the hint, the half-Fallen, Vampiress and half-Devil stepped forward.

"The choice is yours, of course, but I thought I'd offer anyway." Rex remarked. "Akeno, would you mind joining my peerage?"
