The Boosted Gear, one of the strongest Sacred Gears, the God-Slaying Gear.
Ability One: Boost - Temporarily amplifies the user's power by onefold every ten seconds. As long as the body can withstand it, the amplification can continue without limit, allowing the user to possess power comparable to or even surpassing gods and demons.
Ability Two: Transfer - Transfers the amplified power to others.
Ability Three: Penetrate - Ignores the opponent's defense and directly attacks the body, a powerful concept ability close to inverting cause and effect.
Ability Four: Welsh Dragon's Blaze - The ultimate flame that can incinerate all things. Even gods will turn to ashes upon contact.
Beyond these abilities, there are deeper Juggernaut Drives, full-body armor transformations that completely release the user's power, Welsh Dragon Overdrive, which completely releases the sealed power of the Red Dragon Emperor, and various other stronger forms.
Logically speaking, anyone who obtained such a powerful artifact would be overjoyed and fuse with it, using it to become an overwhelming force that towers above all others. However, that was the case for others. They only saw the power and not the dangers behind it.
The soul of the Red Dragon Emperor, one of the Heavenly Dragons, was sealed within after being killed by the God of the Bible. Would it kindly allow others to wield its power? Furthermore, this Sacred Gear had been passed down through generations, with each host dying a tragic death. The polluted will left deep within the artifact was not something ordinary people could withstand.
Sorata didn't choose to fuse with the artifact. Instead, he opted to use his pure and scorching light power to wash over the artifact, using his mental power to analyze its structure and abilities, treating it merely as a research item for collecting information.
The so-called powerful abilities of this Sacred Gear were, in Sorata's view, just law-based powers controlled by the Red Dragon Emperor. For example, the first ability, Boost, temporarily increases the host's power by onefold every ten seconds. It can increase without limit as long as the host's body can withstand it, eventually granting power comparable to gods and demons.
To Sorata, this ability was essentially a superficial borrowing of power, placing high demands on the host's physical body. The power source came from the Red Dragon Emperor's soul deep within the artifact.
At the same time, the ability to increase power by onefold every ten seconds could be interpreted in different ways: 1 + 1, or 1 + 1x1, leading to infinite amplification. If it were 1 + 1, after one minute, the power would only increase sixfold. But if it were the rule-breaking infinite amplification of 1 + 1x1, then 1 would become 2, 2 would become 4, 4 would become 16, and after one minute, the amplification would reach 4,294,967,296 times the original base.
Sorata thought it could only be the former, because if it were truly the latter, not only would the Red Dragon Emperor's power be insufficient to provide such vast amounts of law-based energy, but the host's physical body would be instantly destroyed by the sudden surge of billions of times the power.
So, while this Sacred Gear appeared powerful to others, Sorata, who understood the mysteries of power, saw it as merely decent. Not to mention that the ability to temporarily increase power by sixty times in ten minutes or over three hundred times in an hour would require the enemy to grant you time to amplify. This amplification might not even be useful to him. Unlike the original host, Hyoudou Issei, the ordinary human, Sorata's strength alone had already increased to around two hundred tons.
Moreover, his body, as sturdy as refined steel, could already fly, easily reach supersonic speeds, and his eyes could unleash heat-ray shockwaves of thousands of degrees Celsius. As his physical body strengthened, all aspects of his Superman abilities awakened. At the same time, the three abilities that had merged into him upon completing his bloodline transformation also evolved, greatly increasing their power.
With all of this, Sorata estimated that even if he fused with the Boosted Gear, the Red Dragon Emperor's power might not amplify him significantly.
Having once touched the ultimate truth of power, Sorata knew more clearly that no matter how diverse abilities were, they could not surpass a single ability pushed to its extreme, like his Kryptonian bloodline. If he could evolve into Golden Superman, or even beyond, his power alone would be enough to destroy the multiverse with a single punch.
In the face of such pure power, time and space would cease to exist. It didn't matter how you reversed rules, leveraged laws, or merged worlds; everything would be annihilated with a single punch.

At lunchtime in the student cafeteria, Shiina Mashiro calmly added food to Sorata's bowl. "Sorata, the art department has an extra-long class today, so school will end later."
Although she didn't say it explicitly, Sorata understood her meaning and nodded. "Okay, I'll wait for you then. But you seem to be getting quite picky with food lately."
"Don't like it,You eat it," she said flatly.
"I feel like it should be the other way around," Sorata responded, somewhat speechlessly, looking at Shiina, who had left only the meat and put the vegetables she didn't like in his bowl.
According to common sense, when a man and woman eat together, wouldn't the woman, to maintain her figure avoid eating meat and only eat vegetables? Yet here it was the opposite.

In a luxuriously decorated activity room, only a few ancient bronze candlesticks emitted light, the dimness creating a mysterious and solemn atmosphere. The sound of splashing water from the showerhead fell rhythmically. In the bathroom adjacent to the living room, Rias leisurely showered, letting hot water pour over her alluring body.
Her skin, white with a rosy tint, as delicate as rouge-white jade, was so smooth that water seemed to slide off, emitting a faint glow. In the midst of her ultimate allure, her delicate body exuded a hint of sanctity.
"Buchou, do you think he'll come?" In the middle of the living room outside, Akeno sat on the sofa, gently sipping from a teacup in her hand. A look of intoxication appeared on her face as she savored the taste.
"I believe he will come. As long as it's a human, they crave to explore the unknown, let alone the temptation to touch the secrets of the real world," Rias said softly, a faint smile appearing on her beautiful face as she lowered her head and stroked her crimson hair.
"But Buchou, you've seen his information too, right? He was just an ordinary human before. He should have started awakening around the time we transferred to this school."
"But whether it was when he awakened his power or now after awakening, he's been too calm. He doesn't have the excitement, fear, or other emotions that ordinary people should have after gaining extraordinary power."
"I can't see through him." Akeno, holding her teacup, narrowed her eyes thoughtfully.
"It's not easy to see through a person. Although we are devils, we must admit that humans are the most complex creatures in the world. Unlike us devils, angels, and gods, who possess powerful strength and firm will, humans' hearts are chaotic and filled with all kinds of desires. They are often driven by instinct, fickle, and unpredictable. One moment, they may be so weak you can crush them easily, afraid of death, but the next, if you touch their taboo, they may erupt with power that even gods and demons would tremble at."
"In the end, we just need to confirm whether he can join us and whether he can become a partner. As for whether we should take him as a member of our peerage and turn him into a devil, that will depend on his willingness."
"Do you still want to control his mind? We're not succubi; we don't have a fondness for charming and manipulating other people's souls." Rias's faint words revealed a broad-mindedness and far-sightedness rarely seen in women, inspiring silent admiration in Akeno.
"Indeed" ,Akeno said, slightly stunned, before smiling and nodding.
Just then, a knock on the door sounded outside.
