The number of devil pieces required for a devil reincarnation depends on the potential of the individual being reincarnated.
Normally, for an average human, a single pawn piece is more than sufficient. However, exceptions do occur.
For those with exceptionally high potential, or those possessing incredibly powerful divine artifacts within their bodies, multiple pieces are needed to complete a successful reincarnation.
One of Souna's pawn familiars, Genshirou Saji, required four pieces for his reincarnation, due to his exceptional potential and the powerful divine artifact he possessed.
This is precisely why Souna only had three pawn pieces left.
She should have realized it earlier; this man's potential was at least equal to, if not greater than, Genshirou Saji's.
Even using eight pawn pieces wouldn't have been surprising.
Although Souna and Rias were rivals, in this situation, Souna would prioritize giving this human with immense potential to Rias if she couldn't contract him herself.
After all, if this man became Rias's familiar, it would strengthen Hell's overall power.
That was better than having the fallen angels discover and kill him, seizing the divine artifact.
While that was her thought process, it didn't mean Souna approved of what Rias was about to do.
She'd already guessed Rias's intentions. This situation was exactly the kind of special circumstance they'd learned about in class regarding reincarnation contracts: the host's power was too great, requiring multiple devil pieces for reincarnation.
And now, the reincarnation magic circle hadn't stopped; theoretically, more devil pieces could be added.
Souna had no more pieces, leaving only Rias to contribute.
"Don't be reckless! Do you understand the potential consequences?!"
"How will we know unless we try? What else can you do in this situation? Kill him? Can you guarantee that the divine artifact within him won't go berserk if you kill him?"
Rias retorted, and Souna fell silent.
The man likely possessed a Divine Destroyer-class divine artifact, and their knowledge of these unknown artifacts was extremely limited.
Killing him seemed like the only option, but could they guarantee the artifact wouldn't go berserk if they did?
"But… two devils' devil pieces being inserted into a single human's body… there's never been a precedent for this."
Souna said with difficulty, still hesitant about Rias's bold attempt.
"Don't hesitate. It's better than having his frost spread uncontrollably to the streets. If we go to Hell to ask my brother and your sister for help, who knows what will happen by the time we get back.
The situation is already beyond our control. Now isn't the time to hesitate." Rias said decisively, taking out her devil pieces and throwing them towards the seemingly sleeping man.
"Will it really work…? But if the reincarnation is successful, whose familiar will he be? Yours or mine?"
Without trying to stop Rias, Souna stared blankly at her, asking hesitantly. Rias turned, replying with a mischievous smile.
"We'll just split him.
You get him Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays; I'll get him Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. We can share him on Sundays."
"What nonsense are you talking about…"
Souna's face flushed, recalling Rias's open-minded nature.
One by one, devil pieces were inserted into the man's body. After five pieces, there was still no reaction.
Rias gritted her teeth, resolutely throwing all eight of her devil pieces into the man's body, causing Souna's heart to race.
That made eleven devil pieces in the man's body—unimaginable! Even Beelzebub, the creator of the devil pieces, wouldn't know what would happen if eleven devil pieces entered a single person's body.
After all eight of Rias's devil pieces entered the man's body, a subtle surge of power spread, then everything returned to calm.
"Contract… success or failure?!"
Rias looked at the current situation uncertainly. The reincarnation magic circle had disappeared; logically, the reincarnation should have been successful.
"I… I don't know."
Souna shook her head.
Just as the two girls were at a loss, they suddenly noticed the frost around them slowly disappearing.
"The frost… it's gone?!"
"It seems… it was successful?"
Rias said uncertainly.
At least, the room temperature had returned to a comfortable level.
"Look! He moved!"
The man's eyelids fluttered slightly. Rias excitedly grabbed Souna's arm.
"Yes…"
Souna nodded lightly, her eyes filled with anticipation as she stared at the man.
Reincarnated using eleven devil pieces… how powerful would such a devil be?! And the divine artifact within him.
But whose familiar would he be? Souna was still conflicted.
Although she had discovered him and used devil pieces to try and reincarnate him, Rias had paid the price of eight pieces.
Could it really be as Rias suggested—they would… share him?
Souna's face flushed at the thought.
Sharing? It's all because of that Rias, making me so flustered!
The frost had completely melted, and the temperature in the room, which had been bitterly cold moments before, gradually returned to a comfortable, slightly cool level.
Under Souna and Rias's expectant gazes, the sleeping man finally opened his eyes.
A dazzling ice-blue light flashed in his eyes as he looked at the two girls before him with a slightly dazed expression.
It seemed the reincarnation was a success.
Both girls breathed a sigh of relief.
They weren't afraid of the reincarnation failing, nor did they mind the loss of their devil pieces.
More than that, they feared creating an uncontrollable, insane monster.
What such a powerful man might do was entirely unpredictable.
