Gilgamesh in DxD

Chapter 49

Chapter 49

When a group of humans saw a single human make fire with his hand, they feared him. They isolated him and considered him a cursed person. And then the cursed person was sad - they started to question why. Why were they born different?

At that moment, gods or other supernatural beings came, offering them a chance and saying they were special, they were needed.

Few were really sincere and honest. But most weren't... And the sad part was that there were also humans who manipulated other humans.

"You must understand, Gilgamesh-kun." Sona sighed. "It's not like we have any bad intentions, the goal of Evil Pieces is to increase the number of devils. Both the war against heaven and the civil war have brought us to near extinction, not to mention we're not a very fertile race to start. we can only produce a large number of devils like humans or other races" She said.

"So you need strong new devils, fine. I can't blame you since you fight for your survival, but that doesn't give you the right to play with people's lives like they're toys." I replied mischievously and Sona nodded. .

"I understand that, but what could I say? We are devils like you said, we are not innocent beings. As for Rias' behavior and her conspiracy, she was desperate"

"Desperate?"

"It's not my place to say that." Sona told me as she closed her eyes for a moment before reopening them. "But she needs a strong group, she needs strong members to fight for her. For her dreams..."

"And that's why she tried to recruit me." I grunted and Sona nodded.

"Before her, I was actually the one who planned to recruit you. But as she needed your power more and because it was also for the sake of her dreams, as her friend, I couldn't abandon her. So I decided to give her one. chance to catch you"Sona told me and I snorted.

They tried to pass me off as if I were some kind of toy or doll. I was really tempted to pull out a Sacred Esoada and stab it now, to show what I thought about this kind of behavior, but I held back.

"And how would you recruit me? Would you have a wild animal attack me and then come and save me, becoming my hero?" I said sarcastically.

"Of course not. I was just going to ask you" Sona said and I blinked.

What?

"I'm sorry, maybe my ears deceived me. You just-" Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

"I was going to ask you to become a devil and work for me. Like someone offering a job."

Despite the ridiculous words that left her mouth, Sona's face was serious. There were no signs of lying or lying, if she was lying she was clearly hiding it very well. But seeing her and knowing her personality, I think it's safe to say she wasn't lying.

"Are you out there asking humans to become devils?" I asked perplexed. "What kind of idiot would accept that?!"

"Well, Genshirou Saji did..." Sona said with a straight face and I blinked a few times, I knew that guy. We weren't close, but I knew him.

"What always looks at me?" I asked and Sona nodded. Yes, in the past I didn't know why he was always looking at me.

I smiled because I already knew why that was.

"He came in because he likes you, doesn't he?" I played.

Sona looked at me with her brows furrowed before humming and putting her hand on her chin as she put on a thoughtful face.

"I think this is part of a good negotiation, knowing the person you will work with before joining." She said with a tone of acknowledgment, "Okay, if you want to meet Gilgamesh-kun, I want to create a combat school. One for reincarnated and lower class devils."

"Fighting school?" I asked with a wink.

"Let me tell you, lower class devils are devils that only function as servants or slaves if you express it harshly. Most of them are actually reincarnated beings. And let's just say that only a few higher class devils treat their servants, just as they deserve. Me and Rias are two of them."

Oh... Ooooh... Oh...

Now I get it. Now I understood what she was trying to do. What she wanted to do. What was her dream and what she intended to do.

"You plan to bribe the slaves..." I stated in an understanding tone "You all realize that there is a high chance your slaves will rebel against you and seeing how your race has survived one civil war, you don't want another to happen so soon. You plan to show them that there are nobles out there who really want to protect them and acknowledge their works so they don't try to rebel."

Sona's eyes widened a little when she heard this before they narrowed and she straightened her glasses.

"It's a negative way of saying it. I don't remember you being such a pessimist, Gilgamesh-kun."

"You are a devil." I simply pointed and Sona, to my surprise, snorted, a woman's laugh.

"Gilgamesh-kun, I admit that is one of my goals. You must know, we are very close to extinction after the civil war, we can't have another one. We will go extinct if that happens." She said in a serious tone. "I don't want that to happen. However, I am sincere in helping them too, they are our people after all."

I looked at Sona blankly.

I was never going to change who I was.

Even if I was on the verge of death I would accept something like that.

After all, humans are so interesting.

Humans...were creatures that could show kindness even surpassing the angels themselves. They were gentle creatures, soft and caring. They even did something stupid just for the happiness of a different race, proof enough to show the world that humans were great and gentle creatures.

And yet... At the same time, they were also the most cruel... They didn't even care if it was a child, humans could kill them in cold blood and even laugh when they did. They could starve to death and even **** them when they had not yet reached puberty.

Humans were weak, that wasn't a lie, but a fact... They didn't have fangs, claws, poison or anything that could be used as a weapon on their bodies. Usually all they could do was cry and mourn.

And yet, if we were so weak, how did humans still rule the world?

Simple... it was because human beings, among all living beings and beings... were the most cruel...

They were the most beautiful creatures and yet also the most disgusting...

It was like people said... The greater the light inside people's hearts, the greater the darkness inside them too...
