Strongest in DxD - Chapter 43

Scathach widened his eyes at that, as Ren's servant he explained to her everything about the Sacred Gear, and that included the Balance Breaker.

Balance Breaker is a "bug" in the system created by God from the Bible, which can upset the balance of the world and that's why it received the name of Balance Breake.

It is known as the final state of activating a Sacred Gear which allows its wearer to receive the full power of their Sacred Gear.

Scathach knew about all of Ren's Sacred Gear, after all her master had explained to her servants about all of her Sacred Gear and the power of all Longinus to them.

Ren's Sacred Gear were [True Longinus], [Annihilation Maker], [Dimension Lost], [Canis Lykaon] and [Boosted Gear].

And Scathach had to admit that the power of these Sacred Gears was incredible.

The [True Longinus] is considered the strongest of the Longinus, the sacred spear that pierces God.

Scathach was well aware of the power of this weapon as she felt firsthand the power and dominance her master possessed over her.

And the Immortal Witch had to admit that she truly deserved to be called the Supreme Longinus for her power.

Scathach had already discarded this Sacred Gear, even in its basic form it already released an overwhelming amount of light and sacred power, and its Balance Breaker probably emanated even more being almost impossible to not feel.

As for [Dimension Lost] Scathach ruled out, she had seen her master use this Longinus' Balance Breaker and it didn't even close to consume as much energy.

[Boosted Gear] wasn't either, after all from what Ren had explained that Longinus creates a Red Dragon armor over its wearer, which clearly Ren wasn't wearing.

Scathach couldn't help but be amazed by this Longinus, the ability to double the user's power was a frightening technique, Scathach could barely imagine how powerful Ren would become if he used it.

The [Canis Lykaon] certainly wasn't, Ren had explained to them the power of this Longinus and that in his Balance Breaker the user would be covered in darkness which Ren clearly wasn't.

Though Scathach also found this Longinus interesting, the ability to create blades out of darkness, move through it, generate cursed flames, create blades capable of defeating a God.

So there was only one Sacred Gear left, and the most dangerous in Scathach's opinion.

[Annihilation Maker] One of the thirteen Longinus and ranked as one of the Strongest Four, a Sacred Gear with the power to create any creature based on the user's imagination.

Just put it like that to know how dangerous it is, even Scathach had to admit it, the thought of someone being able to create God-level creatures was a frightening thing.

Scathach knew how the power of this Longinus worked as Ren had shown them all, he had created a Maou-level creature in less than ten seconds.

Not only that, but Ren could also grant abilities to these creatures, such as immunity to pain, magic absorption, magic, regeneration among other things.

The Immortal Witch knew this Longinus was terrifying if used correctly, and couldn't help but wonder how absurd Ren's Balance Breaker would be with this Sacred Gear.

If I could easily create Maou class beings how strong would his creatures be in that state, could he create God class beings or go beyond that?

Scathach quickly realized that he had asked the wrong question.

In fact, the right question would be: how many creatures had Ren already created if he had his Balance Breaker always active?

If in ten seconds he could create a Maou class, how strong and how many creatures would he create if he kept his Balance Breaker active for a day, for example?

Shaking his head Scathach quickly followed his master as he entered the Church.

The wooden doors that once looked like a beautiful gate to the wonderful palace have been reduced to a pitiful state.

Slowly, Ren walked over and lifted a leg and kicked the door, which not only opened but literally flew, slamming and falling to the ground a few feet from his location.

He and Scathach took another step forward and entered the church, their eyes scanning the building's hallway. It was pretty normal actually. There were chairs and seats for people to sit and pray if they wanted, there was even an altar and a cross like in a normal church. Overall, it looked like a common place if you looked at it.

Scathach's eyes caught something under the table in the hall. His eyes roamed the room again and his ears caught footsteps rising. The sounds were getting louder and Ren and Scathach could hear that there wasn't just one pair of legs, but that there were several, dozens even.

However, even though there were several steps coming up, they slowly all came to a stop. They stopped and were almost silent as they approached him.

Ren watched as he glanced at the two hallways. He could hear whispers and see their small shadow movements on either side, no doubt planning to ambush him.

"I know you're there. Get out before I force you," Ren called in his amused voice.

Once he said that, it didn't take long for the group to respond. From one side of the aisle, a white-haired man with red eyes, wearing a priest's robe came out as he clapped his hands with a cheerful smile adorning his face. The man showed no sign of surprise or concern that Ban had just walked in, but instead looked amused. The expression was much like that of a child waiting for some clown or circus to come and entertain him.

Scathach squinted his eyes at the man, he reeked of blood, but it was unlike her and Ren who had blood from many battles on their hands.

She realized that this man had probably lost himself in so much blood and turned into a maniac.

"I'll take care of it," Ren said, stepping forward as she smiled.

Soon electrical crackling sounds began to emerge drawing everyone's attention to Ren, yellow rays seemed to dance around Ren as they surrounded her body.

An electric yellow glow lightly covered Ren's body who smiled as he inflated his lung.

The entire electrical blast began to focus around Ren's mouth as everyone's eyes widened as they realized what was about to happen.

"Roar of the Lightning Dragon"

When Ren opened his mouth a huge vortex of concentrated lightning shot out of her releasing an overwhelming amount of lightning in an immense amount.

When lightning hit humans there was no resistance when they were destroyed, not "destroyed" would not be the right word.

They were vaporized by the concentrated power of the lightning that continued to advance as it destroyed and annihilated the entire Church leaving nothing behind.

When the lightning stopped and disappeared, it was revealed that the entire Church had been totally annihilated, not even a stone remained where the lightning passed.

"That was pretty amazing, Ren, but you overreacted," Scathach said, stepping closer as he slapped his spear off Ren's head.

The SlashDog smiled as he laughed and started forward being followed by Scathach.

Ren started walking while heading to where the altar was previously, getting there it was possible to see a large trapdoor in the floor.
