High School DxD Vol 18 Chapter 5.2

“Azazel, I wouldn't use the hotline to contact you for anything else . Regarding Agreas's secret, I think it would be best to make it clear . ”

“…It looks like the problem is getting worse, Sirzechs?”

“Inside Agreas is the technology that was used to make [Evil Pieces] which contained the essential crystals of the highest quality . Since Agreas has currently been taken away, therefore making new [Evil Pieces] is not possible . Currently the number of unused sets of Evil pieces I have is less than a thousand . ”

“…If that's the case, then the number of devils that can be reincarnated will be limited . Indeed, the situation has taken a turn for the worst . Speaking of which, the [Royal Users (Brave Saints)] also uses the same materials but they can only use their existing inventory of materials… . Even if we could maintain the reincarnation system, without the materials to make these things it would be meaningless… . Angels are fine though . The reincarnation system has not been in place for very long, so it wouldn't be an issue even if it was abolished . The problem is — . ”

“That's correct . The [Evil Pieces] are deeply embedded into the underworld's life, culture, and is important to their values . If it were removed— . ”

“…The foundations of the devil world may be shaken . …But I don't think that [Qlippoth's] aim is more than just this . ”

“The essentials for reincarnation are in Agreas . On top of that there's the Holy Grail and Evil Dragons— . …The cards they're holding now have become exceedingly dangerous . So presumably, he wants to revive 666 and invade another world… . ”

“…The unrest of the Church has slowly begun to surface . Have you heard about it? The exorcists who have questioned the reason behind the treaty of the three factions . Peace, means that there will be no need to hunt devils . The vampires also appear to be starting to accept peace . There are those who harbour concerns on the value of what's happening . Who knows what would happen if they're discontent and suspicion of Heaven reaches the top brass . ”

“Hmm . So you're saying that every opposing organisation is raising this issue with the Vatican . I heard that one of the masterminds behind this was the previous wielder of Durandal . ”

“…The original Durandal has already been assimilated… . This is bad . That guy's compatibility with Durandal was extremely high . If he were to get his hands on Ex-Durandal then— . ”

“…Qlippoth is supporting them from the shadows . ”

“Sirzechs . Rizevim thinks simply . To say that he is naïve would not be an overstatement . —But it seems like the vampires view him as an ally, other smaller evil forces see him as an ally, he is a rare instigator . In a sense, his existence in the human world, I say could be more threatening than a legendary God of War or a God of Destruction, he is the most troublesome person . ”

“…He's an example of the opposite of dear Ise-kun, Rizevim who's inciting conflict behind our backs . ”

“…Did you find out about the devils who are supporters of Rizevim?”

“No, I haven't . Nothing has come out of asking Euclid, and it looks like he hasn't told Euclid's supporters about his disappearance . Qlippoth should know, after taking Agreas . ”

“But the investigation is still ongoing right?”

“…We've already narrowed it down to a few people . …But one of them is someone that I do not want to imagine . ”

“…Given his life's achievements and status, I'm having an ominous feeling about this . The Old Maou Faction would really want to see their desires come true . The Hero Faction is doing its own things . …Qlippoth is doing something evil . —No, it is the type of people that they are gathering . ”
