"You devils have two transcendent beings, making your faction far stronger than several other pantheons."
Sona asked curiously, "Who are they?"
"Sirzechs and Ajuka are both classified as transcendents. If they were to fight seriously, their power would be enough to rank them among the top ten strongest beings in the world."
Sona wasn't surprised that Sirzechs and Ajuka were transcendents.
After learning about their existence from Yasuhiro, she knew that if any transcendents existed within the devils, they could only be the four great maous.
Devils have worshipped power and strength.
Those capable of claiming the titles of the four great maous stand at the pinnacle of the underworld.
Even though the old maou faction held the traditional high ground, they were repeatedly defeated by the new satan faction.
They were even driven out of the underworld and had their honorary surnas stripped away, all because they weren't as strong as the current maous.
"The reason why Kuroka beca a stray devil and why the Naberius clan was destroyed all ties back to the transcendents."
"More accurately, it was because those guys were drawn to the allure of that overwhelming power."
Sona wasn't surprised by this.
A powerful force often attracts countless greedy individuals.
Especially devils...
"The artificial transcendent project was a ridiculous and absurd experint."
"They overestimated their own capabilities and attempted to artificially manufacture transcendents."
Yasuhiro continued. "To beco a transcendent you need natural potential and strength. These are precisely the things that cannot be synthesized in a lab."
"Anyone with a shred of rationality would know better than to harbor such delusions."
Even if they managed to artificially create what they called a transcendent, the result would be nothing more than a pathetic copy.
"The Naberius clan brought their destruction upon themselves."
Sona shook her head. Having only just learned about the existence of transcendents, she couldn't fully understand the true scale of their power.
However, drawing context from the nas Yasuhiro had listed, she managed to piece together a fragnted understanding of their power.
Sirzechs was a being that no rational person would ever try to artificially create. In fact, launching such an experintal project was a blatant insult to him.
"Kuroka and Koneko are hybrids. Their human father was a researcher working at a secretive institute under the Naberius branch."
"To gather data for the experints, he selected a nekoshou from a nekomata village and impregnated her."
"What a bastard," Sona looked visibly disgusted.
With Sona's intelligence, it wasn't difficult for her to deduce the man's true intentions.
From the very beginning, he had viewed Kuroka, Koneko and their mother as nothing more than tools for his project.
Among the pure blood devil clans, engaging in infighting was a commonplace occurrences.
However, that bastard had planned everything around his research from the start. His actions were monstrous, making him far worse than even the stray devils.
Sona felt sorry for Kuroka and Koneko. Being born solely to serve as lab rats, especially under the supervision of their own father was a tragic fate.
Yasuhiro casually glanced toward a specific corner of the room and continued.
"Fortunately, those types of villains usually don't live long. He never got the chance to fully utilize Kuroka for his research. During a flawed experint, he died in an accident alongside their mother."
"Left to fend for themselves, Kuroka and Koneko wandered the underworld until they were found by mbers of the Naberius clan. Recognizing Kuroka's latent potential, the clan took her in as a servant."
Sona shook her head. She didn't even need to guess to know that this was rely the beginning of another tragedy.
Those experints were controlled by the Naberius clan itself. The clan had likely been actively searching for the sisters all along.
Confirming her suspicions, Yasuhiro said.
"The Naberius clan made Kuroka a mber of their peerage. They then used drugs and external forces to forcefully stimulate her hidden potential."
"anwhile, they continued their experints in the shadows. Eventually, the researchers grew dissatisfied with their slow progress and gradually extended their clutches toward Koneko."
"You know what happened next. Desperate to protect her sister, Kuroka ambushed and killed her master when his guard was down."
"Right before she could rescue Koneko, the Naberius clan's experints were exposed to the public. As a result, the four great maous ordered the clan's extermination."
"However, because Kuroka had genuinely murdered her master, there was no room for her to rebut the charges against her."
Since the horrifying details of the artificial transcendent project could not be made public, the underworld officially classified Kuroka as a wanted stray.
The official narrative claid that she had succumbed to her own power and degenerated into a stray.
"As for Koneko..."
"Well, Sirzechs took pity on her and gave her to Rias to take in as a servant."
"So that's the whole truth."
Sona muttered to herself, "This entire situation is so complicated."
"Exactly. Both Koneko and Kuroka were nothing more than victims. The tragedy was caused by the gross negligence and inaction of the devil higher ups."
"Am I right, Rias and Koneko?"
Yasuhiro directed his gaze straight towards the door.
