Chương 96: Gil DxD: Chapter 96

When Gilgamesh touched Sirzechs all of the Maou's magical power was totally nullified to Sirzechs' surprise, so much surprise that he was amazed that anyone was able to nullify his power, it seemed that he didn't even have power, as if he never had. Soon after that Sirzechs began to lose his will to fight. The moment Sirzechs looked into Gilgamesh's crimson eyes he found himself in a bottomless Abyss of pure power that was trying to engulf him, when a deafening dragon roar plunged Sirzechs' mind into fear.

It seemed like everything had gotten out of his control and he couldn't control it anymore, his own instinct seemed to scream in terror as he told him to kneel. And that happened. If anyone saw his hidden face, they would see Sirzechs's terrified face. His forehead drenched in sweat. And his beautiful blue-green eyes faded slightly.

"What the hell is he really...?" stuttered Sirzechs in thought. Sirzechs' mind flashed back to the ghost image of Y Ddraig Goch in a rage, showing the absolute power of the Welsh Dragon at its peak. It frightened him, terrified him, and shook his soul. That absolute power; a power he could not understand, an absolute power that made him insignificant and laughable; It filled Sirzechs with despair just imagining the pair of draconian red eyes fixed on him.

Furthermore, Sirzechs' instinct and intuition told him that Gilgamesh held such power that he could instantly destroy him. And his instinct, which had been honed by the devil's bloody civil war and keen intuition, never failed.

"How...? How could someone so young be so powerful? That... image... was just illusion, and yet... my instinct told me I would be helpless if I ever faced him. This is this... is this the true power of the Welsh Dragon? Is this how the true power of the Red Dragon Emperor when he mastered the [Boosted Gear]? No, this is not just the power of the Welsh Dragon, it is the power of the descendant of the King of Heroes who owns a Longinus! Insane! That's crazy... just... who are you, Gilgamesh...

Gilgamesh looked at Sirzechs with amusement before speaking.

"Now does it look like you dropped a coin or something?" Gilgamesh asked with a tone of amusement. Everyone seemed to come back to reality when Gilgamesh's voice cut through everything. Everyone was surprised to see this and even Gilgamesh's group was surprised to see the hostility towards the Devils.

Grayfia, who came out of her shock at seeing her husband kneeling and trembling, widened her eyes and tried to help her husband, but a single look from Gilgamesh that had a dragon emerald green glow was enough to freeze her as she recalled that feeling of helplessness. Gilgamesh's speech snapped Sirzechs out of his trance. Sirzechs tightly controlled his trembling body. He tried to calm down. It was a difficult and arduous task, but after ten seconds of regulating his breathing, he finally calmed down.

Sirzechs rose as he resisted his mind and instincts that were still trying to get down on his knees. The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement. When he stood up he tried to look at Gilgamesh but every time he seemed to focus on his eyes his body would instinctively look away, and it terrified him and shook his soul with fear. Gilgamesh looked at Sirzechs and laughed.

"I think we understand Sirzechs. If you don't attack me I won't attack you" said Gilgamesh calmly. Sirzechs just nodded his head as he approached his wife, who was still frozen, then he puts his hand on her and a magic circle appears below them and they disappear. Gilgamesh let out a sigh as he sat down on his sofa. All of his friends looked at him apprehensively as they had never seen him act so hostile towards anyone.

"Are you sure about this Gil?" asks Enkidu as he approaches. They knew that Gilgamesh had met Azazel and ripped the Leader of the Fallen Angels' arm off and now threatened Sirzechs and his wife and this could result in a war, or great battle.

"That was necessary, I needed to make my point clear to them, so they know they won't want me as an enemy," said Gilgamesh without even looking at his group. [Partner is right] said Ddraig as he manifested in the form of an emerald green light on Gilgamesh's left hand: [It's not about respect, it's about fear, only sheer terror is what makes people not try anything with you, it all comes down to power] Ddraig was right, in the supernatural world only power matters. It all comes down to power.

The strong rule while the weak die. Those with power do what they want with the weak. Truly the meeting with Azazel was not planned but surprising for Gilgamesh, but even so it served to demonstrate his point with Azazel for the Fallen Angel not to challenge him, after all a mere threat cost his arm. Although Gilgamesh was not waiting for Sirzechs he would know that at one time or another the Crimson Maou would come after him, after all he would not let a strong ally get lost in his territory.

Gilgamesh also admits that Sirzechs offers were good, but none of them would be acceptable to him, after all he would never sell his humanity for power, after all he also has a lot of power being that he is. Gilgamesh was also surprised by Grayfia's sudden outburst and his power, which while surprising was not enough to intimidate him.

Grayfia's power was great, on the same level as a devil of the Satan class, however neutralizing her was very easy, to neutralize her power Gilgamesh nipped him in the bud and neutralized using her own power and the ability [Denial of Magic].

As the name says, this ability allows its user to deny and nullify any form of magic as well as its derivatives, but it is not possible to nullify the magic inside someone's body, after all this is part of the person, the most he is able is to disable the target of using magic for a while. And that was more than enough to terrify Grayfia, Gilgamesh admits that her expression was hilarious, quite different from her normal stoic face.

Gilgamesh also admits that he was surprised by Sirzechs' outburst and power, he really had great power and deserved his title of Strongest Devil. He really is powerful, but not powerful enough. To neutralize him Gilgamesh used his [Denial of Magic], however because Sirzechs was much more powerful than Grayfia so Gilgamesh needed to touch him to use his ability and nullify Sirzechs' power temporarily.

Soon after that Gilgamesh used his [Haoushoku Haki] to nullify Sirzechs' will to fight, but even for Gilgamesh it would be difficult to make Sirzechs faint due to the difference in power between them not being too great, unless Gilgamesh used his Longinus. After that Gilgamesh had used his [Emperor Eye] which allowed him to anticipate opponents' movements through muscle responses, to put him in an inferior position.

So when playing Sirzechs, Gilgamesh used a trick that Ddraig had taught him in the past; how to establish hierarchy with total intimidation. He didn't know what kind of hallucination Sirzechs' brain showed him, but he could be careless. What matters is the result, not the process. [Intimidation], a trick Ddraig taught him in the past. It was similar, but fundamentally different from the intention to kill.

While the intent to kill was a potent intent to kill someone, [Intimidation] was intended to show how impotent the target in front of me was. Of course, the target must be much weaker than the user. After all, it was no use for a calf to intimidate a tiger. It would be pitiful and laughable for the prey to intimidate the predator.
