God Succession System 164 Relaxing

The funny thing about this was that Ddraig started crying when he heard about it since Alex barely used his power to dominate over Vali, and was crying even more when Alex used his wish from winning the tournament to return Tiamat's treasures that he owed. He made sure to tease the dragon endlessly about it, that he had to waste a wish for his sake due to his unreliability, and even Lauren had dropped a few teasing words at him about it. Besides the aftermath of the tournament, Alex was simply relaxing as he waited for his body to recover from fusing stage three super Saiyan and the boosted gear.

He didn't have the same repercussions from his first experiment right after he first obtained the form, but his body did feel "off" for lack of a better word, and both Lauren and Ddraig suggested putting off any unnecessary physical exertion until he recovered. At the same time the boosted gear was now on a six month long cool down compared to the previous one month, so Alex spent more time than he recalled since being reborn relaxing over the next month. It was during one of these times he was relaxing that Barakiel came to see Alex, and asked with a lot of annoyance,

"Are you going to be doing that all the time from now on?" As he looked down and saw Alex laying in one of the lounges surrounded by a literal horde of women as they watched tv. Alex shrugged, or at least tried to while some of the girls around him started laughing. Seeing Akeno directly to his left earned him a glare from Barakiel, but he continued as if he tried to ignore it.

"We're making headway on the equipment and notes we got from Rizevim's lab, another month or two and we should have the machine not only replicated, but improved." When he heard this Alex sat up in interest, and asked,

"Really? Would it be possible to add it to the gla.s.ses Azazel gave Me?" Barakiel nodded, and said,

"It's taken us a while since we didn't want to risk damaging anything, it doesn't seem like it was a planned result the guy he took this from got, but an accidental success. Regardless we should have it working and a copy made before leaving, we can leave one with Wukong and take the other with us." Alex nodded, actually excited about testing the machines. They were the same machines used by Rizevim to detect otherworlders in the current world. Since Alex was being cloaked the machine wouldn't work for him, but this function should disappear within the next year when he turned twenty, the same for the rest of candidates. Not only would they be able to tell if there was another candidate in the world they were in, but if the same technology was applied to his gla.s.ses, or if they at least received the signal, Alex would be able to track them with precision. While leaving one with one of the new dxd would give them advance warning when someone entered the world.

"As long as it's done before we leave then it doesn't matter, just make sure you don't ruin the original." Barakiel nodded seriously, as their top priority was ensuring the original wasn't destroyed. As it seemed like it was by accident the original creator managed to make the machines, they were unable to make another one until they managed to completely reverse engineer it.

Much to the girls dismay, Alex got up and followed Barakiel to examine the progress they had made with the machines. There was then an awkward silence as the two headed to Asora's Grigori lab, the previous scene still fresh in Barakiel's mind. Seemingly unable to take it anymore, the older man nearly shouted,

"Are you going to keep lounging around all day, or are you going to start being more active again soon?" Alex wanted to laugh at how Barakiel was acting, and replied,

"My body felt fine since yesterday, but just in case I'm spending the next two days resting as well. Even when I return to training it won't be anywhere near as intense as during the tournament, in fact I plan to spend most of my time with the girls until we leave." Alex's next goal was the fully powered super saiyan, a form acquired from normalization rather that intense training. As such he intended to spend one day a week training with Seekvaira's time manipulation to get a head start, before returning to "normal" life and resuming his life while in the super saiyan transformation. Barakiel was about to snap at Alex since he was just lazing around when he was already better, but was soon cut off.

"By the way, what are your plans for tomorrow?" Barakiel didn't quite know how to react to Alex's words at first, but instantly became suspicious and replied,

"Nothing, why?" Alex shrugged at his suspicions, and explained,

"I invited a few guys out for a fis.h.i.+ng trip for a change in pace, Vali, Sairaorg, Kiba and so on. I wanted to ask if you would like to come along." Shocked at Alex's words, the fallen angel vice governor stared dumbly at him for a few seconds before asking,

"You're not intending to just show off your women, are you?" Hearing this, Alex's brow twitched and he said,

"No just us guys, but if you don't want to come along-"

"Alright I'll go, I simply didn't want to be invited just to watch you flirt the entire time." Alex's brow twitched again, but he let it go and told Barakiel when and where to meet up the next day. After that the two continued to the Grigori inst.i.tute where Alex personally looked over the new machines he hoped to use.
