Abel seemed to have thought of a solution, his lips curving into a smile.
Just as Abel's plan emerged, some people felt a tightening in their nether regions. They looked around, feeling that something bad was going to happen in the future.
Abel said, "Issei, let me help you solidify your conviction."
Issei asked, "Abel, how do I do that?"
Abel said, waving his hand, "You don't have to do anything."
Issei was a bit confused but still trusted Abel.
The next second.
Mangekyo Sharingan!
Issei, fall into the illusion I've woven for you.
'Vali, Cao Cao, Riser, and so on. I'll arrange them all for you. I don't believe your conviction won't rise. So, everyone, I apologize.'
"Holy crap! Where did this take me?!"
In the Genjutsu, Issei found himself on a beach, wearing only a pair of boxer briefs.
Suddenly, he seemed to discover something.
On the beach, a group of handsome men lay on lounge chairs.
Is this heaven?
Issei unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Damn it, who cares, I'm going for it!
Issei rubbed his hands together like a fly and walked towards the crowd.
Outside, everyone surrounded Issei, who had lost his mind.
"Is he okay?"
Facing everyone's questions, Abel said uncertainly, "He should be fine."
The illusion he had arranged was based on the guys from his own memories. So, Issei was very likely to become withdrawn.
After a while, Issei recovered, but he was completely out of sorts. He silently squatted to the side, drawing circles.
Why?
Why were there so many handsome men, and he couldn't beat a single one?
It was so uncomfortable.
Issei remembered what those people in the illusion had said.
Vali: Red Dragon Emperor? Come back when you have the strength to conquer me.
Cao Cao: The weak are only fit to be driven by the strong. If you are stronger than me, what's wrong with listening to you?
Riser: I am a noble Phenex. A guy like you...
...
In short, Issei was thoroughly beaten by them in the Genjutsu.
The quality there was a dream beyond reach.
At this moment, Ddraig in the Boosted Gear spoke, "Partner, although I don't know what just happened, let's become stronger. Only by becoming even stronger can you achieve your ambition."
...
Ddraig began to counsel Issei.
After all, this was his host, his partner. This time, he had to pin Albion and his host to the ground and rub them in.
Seeing Issei being counseled by Ddraig, Abel breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, he would have had to ask Yuuto to come and counsel him.
Looking at the dragon and devil communicating, he suddenly wanted to know Ddraig's reaction after knowing Issei's true thoughts. That would definitely be interesting.
"So, partner, let's turn our grief and indignation into motivation. Let's become stronger."
"No problem, Ddraig! I want to become stronger!"
Issei, being counseled by Ddraig, gradually recovered and looked much more spirited.
"Then let's try the Balance Breaker!"
"Good."
"Partner, boldly state your wish, state your grandest goal. I will respond to your ambition." Ddraig himself also got excited.
"No problem, Ddraig." Issei said, and the Boosted Gear appeared on his right hand.
Boosted Gear!
At this moment, Issei's expression was serious and determined.
"Let's begin, partner."
"Okay." Issei raised his right hand and held it in a fist in front of his chest.
"To protect my companions!"
"Very good! A great idea!"
"Boost! Boost..."
The Boosted Gear on Issei's hand began to flash more frequently.
"To help President achieve her dream!"
"Admirable."
"Boost..."
"And even more for my own ambition! I want to conquer all the handsome men in the world! I want to open a harem of handsome men! I want to become the Harem King whose harem only has handsome men!!!"
"What a terrifying ambition, I approve..." Ddraig continued to speak, then suddenly paused.
"No!"
Ddraig wanted to refuse, but it was too late.
Damn it! What did his partner just say?
To conquer all the handsome men in the world and open a male harem? And become the Harem King?
I don't understand!
You should at least say open a female harem. What the hell is a male harem?
This ambition is truly bizarre.
"Ddraig! For my dream! For my ambition! Come on!!!"
"Forget it."
"Partner! Let's reach the summit together!"
Feeling Issei's strong ambition, Ddraig reluctantly agreed.
As for what he would do in the future? He would worry about that later.
Ddraig imagined a scens.
People would call him by his name in the future: Gay Dragon Emperor!
Then a group of people would point at Issei.
Look, this is the Gay Dragon Emperor.
He hoped Albion wouldn't find out, otherwise he'd die laughing.
But if he dared to laugh, Ddraig would first confirm whether Albion's current host was male or female.
If it was male, then sorry, Albion, your host would be suppressed by my host.
"Issei, good luck."
"Senpai, good luck."
At this moment, Yuuto and Gasper stood by, cheering for Issei.
Hearing their voices, Issei's goal became even more firm and the light on the Boosted Gear kept flashing.
"Boost! Boost! Boost..."
Sublimation!
Issei was enveloped in a towering green pillar of light.
Balance Breaker!
Somewhere, a person in white armor held a dead Stray Devil and looked in the direction where Issei was.
"This sense of destiny... it seems the Red Dragon Emperor has appeared."
"That's right, Ddraig is also awake. Should we go and deal with him directly?"
"No need."
The scene returned to Abel's side.
As the pillar of light disappeared, Issei was enveloped in red armor.
Balance Breaker perfectly completed!
Issei stood in place, feeling his current state.
I'm so damn strong.
He looked at his armor.
They were so cool.
Afterward, Issei deactivated the Balance Breaker. After all, if he kept wearing it, he would collapse soon.
The demonic power in his body was temporarily insufficient to support flexible use.
