Race meeting

A/n: yes I've been gone for... quite some time due to some personal issues and online classes (I never knew I could hate something so much) sigh. I'll try to post once a week, maybe? I'm saying this before I write the chapter as this may be the finale of the season or the next chapter is.

And I have something important to discuss when the season finale does arrive

Y/n currently sat on a chair with a pensive look, his fingers casually flipping through the thick paged book

"Fascinating, so he did indeed use a soul..." Y/n casually mumbled, he currently tipped the bridge of his glasses

It was a habit he had developed during his past life, since he was a model back then, his parents were worried his glasses would infringe upon his looks

Something that deeply irked him

But now that he was technically an orphan, he could once again where glasses. It was more of a habit than a necessity though

"Here you go, Chamomile tea" Ophis lightly said as she placed a cup of tea down on the table, a light smile as she then hopped on Y/n's lap

He lightly chuckled as he opened his arms as for her figure to not crash with the documents in hand

"Is that the info you got from the little crow?" Ophis asked as he nodded, he turned the papers to her as she looked at it

"Hm... yes, using this. He could definitely create a false sacred gear, but there's a small problem..." she said as he nodded

"Materials"

To create an artificial sacred gear, one needed two absolute things

A soul of a mystical creature, preferably one that is willing to do the operation and is rather powerful

And two, something to contain the soul

This was something Azazel had always been troubled at, while the underworld had no lack of rare and exquisite materials that would cause Earth's scientist to foam from the mouth

It just couldn't contain and properly use the true power of the soul placed inside it

To fully know why this is a problem. One must know what a sacred gear truly is

It is the manifestation of the mystical creature's soul, and it is the amplifier of the wielder

This isn't a mere amplification like some sort of sword or dagger that can easily be lost, no, this is apart of them like an extra limb

It is the pure essence of unity

But Azazel's artificial sacred gear wasn't one that God had made... no, that wouldn't be the correct term

"God... such an interesting person, almost makes me want to revive him" Y/n chuckled as his eyes glimmered with enlightenment

He couldn't help but praise god and his attainment for creation. To simply put, the souls themselves were the holders and the energy source all at once

Which is why they were able to change their own characteristics to the user's will. While the artificial ones can't since the material is a well... material and absolutely fixed

Of course, the reason why he wanted this information wasn't because he had a desire to create an artificial sacred gear

Oh no... not at all

"You're... closer to your goal?" Ophis couldn't help but beam at the joyous expression of her mate

"Of course, just a bit more... then I'll be able to accomplish it" Y/n gave a laugh as he felt joy
