"Tatsuma, what should we do next?"
Just then, Rias's inquiry sounded.
"You said no one would die before, so you must have a backup plan to revive him, right?"
"Yes, I do."
Snapping out of the unexpected situation, Tatsuma put on the Spiritual Healing Bracelet trait.
The next second, a white bracelet appeared on Tatsuma's wrist, emitting a faint glow.
"Your Sacred Gear can also revive the dead?" Rias, noticing this, was a bit confused.
"Normally it can't, but further liberation makes it different." Tatsuma replied while injecting a large amount of energy into the Spiritual Healing Bracelet.
With a roar, the white bracelet on Tatsuma's wrist slowly expanded, transforming into a huge ring that floated vertically behind him.
"This is... Balance Breaker?!" Rias gasped.
The so-called Balance Breaker refers to the ultimate state where the power of the Sacred Gear is fully activated.
Normally, only when the wielder's will or wish undergoes a drastic change, enough to defy the flow of the world, can the Sacred Gear enter the Balance Breaker domain.
Because the conditions are too harsh, among the Sacred Gear users of the world's major forces, only a handful can enter this domain. Although Rias had great confidence in Tatsuma, she hadn't expected him to master Balance Breaker so quickly.
Rias asked, "Tatsuma, when did you learn that?"
Tatsuma replied truthfully, "From the very beginning, of course."
Traits are the concretization of certain talents and abilities. All traits registered on the panel will have their effects fully activated.
As early as the day he transmigrated and awakened the system, Tatsuma had already mastered the method of Balance Breaker. It's just that at that time, he was still very weak, his physical strength was average, and he didn't have special energy like demonic power.
Without sufficient conditions, he naturally couldn't activate Balance Breaker.
Later, when his strength increased, Tatsuma would defeat most enemies in one move, so he had no opportunity to use Balance Breaker.
It wasn't until today, when he needed to save someone, that Tatsuma finally had the chance to use the Spiritual Healing Bracelet's Balance Breaker.
Controlling the white halo floating behind him, Tatsuma moved it above Issei's head.
The soul that had been tending to leave his body was pressed back in, and surging life force was continuously injected.
In just a few seconds, the flame of life within Issei reignited.
"That should do it."
Tatsuma put away the Spiritual Healing Bracelet and cast a Senjutsu to help stabilize the Ki and regulate Issei's condition.
"Now, we just need to modify his memory, and he can return to a normal life."
"Leave this to me."
Rias took out a magic tool, placed it on Issei's head, and began editing the narrative.
Seeing this, Tatsuma opened his trait storage and looked at the new traits he had just obtained.
[Harem King (Red): For each member of the opposite sex who falls for you, Charm +100%, Training Speed +100%, can be amplified up to 12 times.]
[Note: This trait has currently received two amplifications, originating from Koneko Toujou and Sona Sitri.]
Hiss... It seems he saw some incredible names.
...
After Rias finished writing the narrative using the magic tool and helped Issei modify his memory, what she saw when she looked up was Tatsuma, rubbing his eyes, his face full of confusion.
"What's wrong with you?"
Tatsuma glanced at the note again and said, "Rias, I think I discovered something incredible."
Rias asked, "What is it?"
"Sona likes me."
"???"
Are you okay?
Rias's eye twitched, a rare feeling of speechlessness arising.
Standing still and looking at Tatsuma for a few seconds, Rias took a deep breath and spoke, "I know some of Sona's preferences, I'll organize them and send them to you later."
Tatsuma said, "I think you misunderstood."
"I didn't misunderstand, feel free to pursue her. I don't restrict my Peerage's romantic relationships."
"..."
Isn't this still a misunderstanding?
Tatsuma raised an eyebrow and didn't argue further.
Let it be a misunderstanding.
Anyway, it's a good thing that Sona likes him, he even wished for a few more Sonas.
Once the new trait's multiplier is maxed out, training speed will increase by +1200%.
Coupled with the Athlete trait's 1500% training speed bonus, he'll make a killing.
However, the standard for 'falling for you' in the trait judgment is a bit subtle.
Stroking his chin thoughtfully, Tatsuma looked at the young girl in front of him.
"Rias, I remember you have a fiancé, right?"
"Yes, my family found him for me."
Rias sighed, "Recently they've been urging me to complete the engagement quickly, it's very troublesome."
Tatsuma asked, "Do you need my help?"
"Huh?"
"I remember you said that Rating Games are very popular among Devils now for resolving conflicts, right?"
Tatsuma suggested, "You can use that as a wager with your fiancé. As long as you win, the engagement is called off."
"...That actually seems possible."
Rias was suddenly tempted.
The fiancé her family found for her was the third son of the Phenex clan, Riser Phenex.
As a Pure-Blooded Devil of the Phenex clan, his strength was very high. However, with Tatsuma's help, dealing with Riser wouldn't be a problem.
His base strength as a High-Class Devil, supplemented by the power of a Longinus...
Given enough time, Tatsuma could even unleash the power of a Satan. In the face of an absolute gap, even immortality couldn't salvage the situation.
However...
"Out of nowhere, why do you suddenly want to help me resolve my engagement issue?"
Rias looked Tatsuma over suspiciously, then seemed to realize something, saying with sudden understanding, "You want to use this favor to get me to help you pursue Sona?"
Tatsuma shook his head. "No, my target is you."
"Eh?"
Rias was stunned.
Tatsuma asked, "Polygamy is allowed among Devils. Having a few more wives isn't a big deal, right?"
"That... indeed isn't a problem."
"Then it's settled, find some time to communicate with your family, I'll handle the rest."
As a High-Class Devil, Riser should be able to drop a purple trait. Coupled with his large group of Peerage members, at least ten green traits to start, and if he's lucky, a few blue ones might drop.
Whether doing this could gain Rias's favor or not, he wouldn't lose out anyway.
Bidding the dazed Rias farewell, Tatsuma left the church with Issei.
