Chapter Text

In a forest in the middle of a rainy night, lightning and thunder dominated the sky, striking fear into small children and a pregnant woman who was close to giving birth.

She was tired, the pain was making her weaker even using the trees for support she could barely support herself properly.

A flash of lightning lit up the sky, followed by the sound of thunder, which caused an outburst.

She looked up in fright, believing that lightning had struck her, but nothing happened she put her hand on her belly where her son was very close to being born and she didn't know what to do, biting her lower lip, she got up with great difficulty and started walking.

She struggled to stay awake wanting to find help.

The pain and your child that was close to be born they were leaving her every time weaker.

Walking through the forest she finally found something but uncertainty dominated her heart.

But she had no choice.

The woman walked to the door and before she could knock on the door the pains got worse, she screamed in pain, she had turned around and hit the door with his back and fell to the floor.

The child was close to being born.

The door opened revealing a nun who looked around before hearing a scream of pain, She looked down and saw a relatively young, pregnant woman wearing a mud- and leaf-covered dress. The woman was crying out for help and looking into her eyes.

 " Ple...a... Please... help... Me " The woman cried, crying out for help in such a desperate moment. 

The nun knelt before the woman and turned around.

 " SISTERS HELP ME HERE! NOW!!! " The nun screamed desperately and urgently for her sisters to come to her aid. 

More nuns arrived and helped with the labor.

The woman lay on a bed, her heart filled with despair, as an older nun held her hand. The other sisters stood in front of her, calmly waiting for the child to be born. 

She exerted an unusual amount of force each time she pushed her child out of her body. But when she finally felt lighter, she didn't hear anything.

The sister next to her was paralyzed because they both failed to hear the child's cry. 

They both looked ahead and saw one of the other sisters approaching. She was carrying something wrapped in a sheet. She sat near the woman who had just given birth and showed her the child.

The child appeared dead. The mother was about to cry when she learned that her child was dead and all that pain was in vain.

The rain clouds were parting so the moonlight could enter the room, as well as shine of the hope of God being represented by the sun that never goes out the moon also represents God's love for his children when darkness appears, the moon and the stars are the only sources of light in the sky.

But a strange phenomenon occurred.

That day everyone saw a rare phenomenon.

The day the moon turned blue, a rare event that did not happen like the birth of angels.

In the Heaven, the angels stopped everything they were doing to look at the moon because it wasn't normal.

Michael was shaking, your fear or anxiety that perhaps a miracle might be born could be great.

The moonlight reached the newborn child who slowly opened his eyes.

The mother's eyes widened when she saw her baby open his eyes, when she saw that her baby was alive she couldn't hold back her tears. She started crying and hugged her baby. Her heart was relieved to know that her baby was alive.

While the mother cried with happiness, the child looked at the moon.

We can say that the moon looked back at the children.

At that moment that the child was born he had received a small gift for the work done from his mother.

In his soul a Sacred gear was being installed, this Sacred gear was guided by the blue moon to its newest user.

The child yawned and fell asleep while lying in his mother's arms while his guardian angel remained observed, unable for humans to see.

The moon, the Sacred Gear, and the angel were all interconnected.

On that day, It was the birth of Riccardo.

But not of the saint demonic

 " Riccardo, Riccardo " A nun was looking for little Riccardo in the church library.

Her name was Sister Julia. Unlike her other sisters, she had purple hair, which was natural. This same hair caused her to be thrown out of the house.

Now she lives in this place together with other sisters.

Normally this place is not allowed men except those of high office in the church.

Julia walked around the library looking for a child who was supposed to be outside playing but was instead reading books inside.

Julia passed by another moment of books and found the one she was looking for. Little Riccardo was reading a used book on the floor. The sisters had made him a makeshift outfit. The outfits they wore were not suitable for children, much less men, but they made one for him anyway.

Little Riccardo was close to turning three, but at one year old he already started walking and talking, I don't need to say that the sisters and their mother were surprised at how easily he did this at the age of two he already started reading books with the help of his sisters while they read the Bible.

Now, that same child was alone, reading a book that wasn't for children, while the sisters did their own thing.

 " What are you reading Riccardo? " Sister Julia bent down, making Riccardo stop reading the book. 

He looked at the book, then turned it to Sister Julia, showing her that he was reading Leonardo da Vinci's works. He wasn't reading about Leonardo's life, though, but about his projects.

 ' Jesus! he is a prodigy or maybe a genius. This is not something for a child to read ' Julia knew that she was too advanced for a crime and especially if she gave an engineering project to a child to read, the child will not understand anything will just seet a bunch of drawings. 

Sister Julia took Riccardo's book, which confused him. 

 " You're only had two years " She put the book away, leaving Riccardo upset " Go play outside like a normal child "

Sister Julia pointed toward the library exit as a grumpy Riccardo walked out, his hair down because he hadn't finished reading his book. 

Riccardo left the library and headed toward the forest, where he could study some incense. As he walked out of the convent, he saw his mother talking to an older sister or rather, the leader of the convent.

Tessa

Convent leader and eldest sister.

Sister Tessa was an elderly woman who was probably nearing the end of her life, yet God granted her many more years.

Riccardo saw his mother cover her mouth as she coughed. Tessa helped Riccardo's mother support herself.

Riccardo knew he shouldn't have gotten involved in the adults' affairs, but she was his mother, he decided to get involved. 

 " Mamma " Her mother and Tessa tensed a little as they heard Riccardo's voice approaching.

 " Everything is fine? " An innocent question generated tension in both of them. 

 " Nothing to worry about Riccardo, what were you doing here? " Tessa answered for Riccardo's mother.

 " I was reading a book about the works of Leonardo Da Vinci but Sister Julia took the book away from me and told me to play " Riccardo was still upset about being removed from his reading.

 " It's okay, go play when your mom and I we have very important matters to resolve " Tessa said making Riccardo return to his original path.

The two watched as Riccardo walked into the forest when he was out of sight, his mother started coughing again. 

 " Your health is getting worse every day " Riccardo's mother's health was deteriorating rapidly, and Tessa was extremely concerned. Her condition had worsened to the point that she was now coughing blood.

 " I really don't know how to tell him, Riccardo has no one else in this world " Riccardo's mother was scared. She knew she could count on her sisters for help, but if she died, Riccardo would be alone, and the world would be a much less pleasant place.

This world steeped in sin would destroy your son.

 " Have faith sister " Riccardo's mother's condition was terrible, Tessa prayed that God would have mercy. 

Meanwhile, little Riccardo watched the ants working on a tree branch. 

Time passed, and now Riccardo was three years old. He was reading the Bible, totally focused, when one of the Covenant sisters opened the door. She was visibly tired from running so much, and sweat ran down her face.

 " Sister Beatrice? " He confused, why was a sister so tired and sweating so much.

 " Ri... Riccardo, your mother is dying " When he heard his sister's words, Riccardo ran like never before. The convent was big, but not huge. He ran outside like a madman to look for his mother. 

He felt something guiding him, wasting no time. 

He opened the door where the sisters' beds were with force, scaring everyone who was inside. His mother was lying in one of the beds. She was pale, her hair messy and spread across the pillow she was surrounded by her sisters. Tessa had her hand on her mother's forehead.

Riccardo ran to his mother, knelt by her bedside, and took her left hand. He was shocked by how cold her touch was, his eyes widened when he felt how cold his mother's hand was. Pain filled his heart. He raised his head and looked at his mother's face, which was turned away.

His mother, feeling the warm touch of her son, turned her face.

 " Mamma " She heard him call for her, but he wasn't crying. He was just shocked by her state, which eased her heart a little. 

 " Riccardo " Weakly raised her other arm and touched her son's cheek where he felt the cold touch and felt her arm struggling to stay upright. 

As an automatic reaction, Riccardo took his mother's hand off his cheek and placed both of her hands in her lap. She looked at her son in surprise. He was not a scared child afraid of losing mother apparently she didn't know her son was mature enough to look like a doctor looking at his patient and said: don't move is dispersing force.

 " I'm sorry my son for keeping this secret from you " She couldn't hide her tears. She had never cried in front of her son, but she couldn't hold it in anymore. She began to cry, knowing her time was approaching.

 " Mamma please " He tried to stop his mother with every effort she made he felt his death approaching faster.

 " But I'm your mother. I'm the one who should be worried about you my sweet boy " She started coughing up blood, which scared Riccardo even more. 

He stood up and helped his mother, he quickly found a cloth and wiped his mother's mouth.

The sisters were worried, but Riccardo's actions made them nervous. This attitude was not normal for a child, perhaps for a grown man, but not for a three-year-old.

She cried as her son wiped her blood-stained mouth, was a very embarrassing situation for a mother to die while her son was cleaning the blood from his mouth. She was in too much pain.

 " I didn't want to worry about my health, but now I'm dying. I won't be able to see the one good thing I've done in my entire life. I'm not afraid of dying. I'm afraid of what this world could do to you, my son. This world is full of sinners, my son. They will abuse your goodwill with empty promises. I want to know one thing: This world allows everything, but it forgives nothing " His son wiped away his tears as he listened to his mother attentively without speaking. 

 " Don't lie, I'm afraid of what might happen to you and knowing that I'm not here to help you mio prezioso " Riccardo felt pain in his heart. He remained silent because he didn't know how to respond. His heart screamed for him to cry, but his mind worked to find an answer.

He took a deep breath and sighed.

 " Mia cara mamma don't worry about me, I'll be fine, you can watch me from heaven and see how I'm doing I go helps people, I will be a biologist and I will save lives. You can go in peace " A three-year-old shouldn't say this. It's something a responsible adult with self-control should say, not a three-year-old with little knowledge or life experience.

The sisters were even scared by how maturely Riccardo spoke to his own mother, that could be compared to a psychopath speaking coldly, but psychopaths have no emotions. They knew that Riccardo was trying to ease his mother's pain from her early departure.

She looked at her son, she couldn't believe her son said that in front of her eyes.

She was on the verge of death and might have been seeing things, but she insisted that she saw her oldest son and other people smiling together as a family.

She didn't know if this was real or if she was already going crazy. 

She really didn't know but something that only appeared to her and only to her, behind his son there was a golden figure as if it were an angel made entirely of golden light staring at her. The "angel" placed his hands on Riccardo's shoulders, nodding as if to say, "It's okay. He will be fine."

Should she believe that?

She was dying.

But she would leave this world and leave her son alone. 

She placed one hand on her son's head and ruffled his hair and gave her son a warm smile. 

She turned and from the other side of the bed she took out a hand-made rosary and handed it to her son, Riccardo received the rosary and calmly analyzed it, concluding that it wasn't made for him. The drawing of Jesus on the cross was imperfect. 

Your mother was not a sculpture, she was a woman with no place in the world. 

But it was made by the hands of his mother.

 " It's your Riccardo. This is my last gift to you... Now I can sleep in peace " She sat down on the bed, joined her hands, and closed her eyes. She took her last breath before falling into a deep sleep.

The sisters quickly noticed that Riccardo's mother had died after handing them the rosary she had carefully made for her son. Riccardo lowered his head, put his hands together, and tears fell from his face. His hair hid his face, but then he raised his head, showing his happiness. 

 " Mamma I am happy that you left this world full of sin and can now be in the kingdom of God " Riccardo did not cry over his mother's death. The pain of losing her was still there, but his happiness over her leaving a sinful world was immense.

While her sisters cried in sadness, his mother's soul was taken away. For his mother, his son raised his head happily.

At the gate of the kingdom of heaven.

The one who would be the first pope in history, Saint Peter, one of God's disciples guarded the passage to heaven.

But that day Peter had a surprise.

A guardian angel came carrying a soul.

Saint Peter was surprised by such a thing, it was very rare for this to happen and Peter knew that it was not the soul of that angel's protégé because that angel was an elite angel of God, lowered from the seraphim.

The angel stood before the gate carrying the soul and Peter opened the gate without question.

So the angel returned to heaven.

The other angels stood before that elite angel who cared for humanity returned to heaven carrying a soul with him, your sisters and brothers stood motionless as he passed with that soul resting in his arms.

He spread his wings and took flight.

Third Heaven

This is the place where the angel arrived: the place where the dead rest. It is an immeasurable place, perhaps even infinite, where the souls of God's followers await the final day to meet God in a new world, free from sin.

Children's souls played happily in this place while adults chatted and the elderly enjoyed the peace. 

But when they see an angel arriving with another brother, they rejoice. 

The angel came down and placed the soul down from a tree and knelt down waiting for the soul to wake up. 

Riccardo's mother opened her eyes and was surprised to see that the angel was real and she had not gone crazy and she realized that she was in heaven.

She looked at the angel.

 " Your son would be fine, don't worry " With that, the angel spread his wings and descended to Earth again to fulfill his work, while she enjoyed her afterlife, watching her son. She would always be watching.

—

It was a sunny day, and the nuns were busy with their work. Today, however, was not a normal day.

 " Everything is fine for you sir, Priest Enrico " Sister Tessa asks the priest Enrico, a priest who was sent from the Vatican to check the convent.

Enrico was walking with Tessa. He had come here to work, but he saw nothing special or out of the ordinary. He decided it was time to leave.

He passed by the library and, while checking the condition of the building for maintenance or renovation, saw something that caught his attention.  

A boy sitting on the floor reading books.

 " Sister Tessa could explain that " Enrico stopped and pointed at Riccardo.

Sister Tessa looked to where Priest Enrico was pointing where Riccardo was focusing on his studies.

 " Oh. His name is Riccardo, he is the son of a sister who passed away a long time ago. She came to us when she was pregnant and as she dont had nowhere else to go she stayed here with her son " The sister saw how Enrico was staring at Riccardo.

 " As years he have? " Enrico asked focusing his vision he could see that Riccardo was reading a book about plants.

 " He will complete ten years in three months " Sister Tessa became a little tense because she already didn't like where this conversation was going. 

 " He has to leave this convent and go to an orphanage " Enrico said taking his eyes off Riccardo looking at Tessa.

 " I must disagree, Riccardo is much loved by the other sisters, he is the last memory of a sister who is already with God " Tessa didn't want Riccardo to leave, he was a very important child to her and her other sisters. 

 " He is almost ten years old and should be sent to an orphanage in the city to immediately begin your studies " The priest entered the library. Sister Tessa sighed in defeat as she followed him in.

Riccardo was completely focused on his studies. When Priest Enrico finally approached him, he saw titles such as Advanced Italian Literature, Books on Mathematics, Biology, and Theology. The priest stopped and observed it carefully. It was not a book for children, but he was even more surprised by the fact that the child was completely focused on the book and hadn't seen him arrive.

Enrico stood there waiting and nothing the child continued reading.

Sister Tessa already knew where this was going.

He coughed.

Riccardo stopped reading and looked up and saw the priest for Riccardo, that would be the first time he had seen a priest. 

 " Hello, how can I help you? " Enrico almost felt offended but ignored it. 

 " What's your name, young man? " 

 " Riccardo" 

 " How many years? " 

 " 9 " 

 " What are you reading? " 

 " A biology book that talks about plants, It's very interesting, I'm seeing now about poisonous plants, it's incredible how God created these things " The innocence of young Riccardo for a child his age was nothing new, now for priest he was surprised that a child was interested in somewhat peculiar content.

 ' He looks like a mini psychopath, or maybe he's just curious. For a child to read a book like this and still get excited, he must be a genius ' Between fear and worry the priest Enrico was tense.

 " My young man who taught you to read " The priest asked, a trap in the form of a question.

 " The sisters and my late mother " Riccardo responded innocently.

 " How old are you when you start reading this type of book? " The priest did another question.

 " Oh! Very early on, when I was barely a year old, I could already read " Riccardo replied with a smile.

Enrico covered his mouth as he looked at the child who was undoubtedly a prodigy, a gifted child what a rare thing to find.

 " My young man, you would leave this place " The sister became even more irritated but curiously Riccardo was not shocked but was curious.

 " Why? " Riccardo tilted his head.

 " This place is an exclusive convent for nuns. Young men who are approaching ten years of age should be sent to an orphanage in a city where they can receive a higher education " The priest answered Riccardo's question, leaving Sister Tessa shocked.

 " Okay, can I stay here for another week before I leave? The sisters will miss me " Riccardo lowered his head, looking a little sad. Then he raised his head and looked into the priest's eyes, asking if he could say goodbye to his loved ones.

 " You have one week " He turned and walked towards the exit and Sister Tessa followed him.  

Riccardo sighed with tiredness and disappointment. He closed his book and began organizing the books, putting them back in their respective places. Two books caught his attention: one with a beautiful cover depicting a dragon breathing fire on a white castle, and next to it, a black army.

He picked up the book to take a closer look and saw the name of the book and author.

The Silmarillion

J.R.R Tolkien 

 " Interesting " Riccardo left this book on the floor and now he went after the other book that caught his attention.

A book with a cover with drawing of trees and mountains.

The Hobbit 

J.R.R Tolkien 

 " Two books by the same author and yet so different? The sisters would not place a book like this if it was not related to the master's teachings " Riccardo set The Silmarillion and The Hobbit aside for the time being while he organized the books he had taken out to read. 

Meanwhile priest Enrico was in a hurry to go and Sister Tessa was running after him.

The priest opened the convent doors. In front of the convent, there was an old, white car in very good condition. He opened the door and handed it to the driver, who immediately lowered the window but continued looking forward. 

 " That boy is a rare gem, he must have higher education, something he won't find here. After another week he will be sent to an orphanage, I have to be the director of an orphanage and friend of a director of a school with a great reputation " He rolled up the car window and started the engine. 

 " We can't afford to waste a talent like that. " Sister Tessa walked away from the car as the man drove away, leaving her sister angry.

Sister Tessa could only sigh in disappointment at the knowledge that a treasure of this convent would be leaving so soon. 

 " Oh Lord help me to have patience in this meeting tonight " She turned and went back to the convent, she would have a meeting with her sisters.

                                      ***

Today was a sad day for sisters while little Riccardo was standing there waiting for the one who would come and take him to his new home.

Riccardo stood next to a suitcase containing two books and the clothes his sisters had made for him. He waited patiently, clasping his hands together. He stared straight ahead, but sometimes looked down at the rosary his mother had made.

He heard the noise of horses 

 " They arrived " The sisters were confused by this, but they soon heard the sound of approaching horses.

Could they see the horses coming? Were they bringing a carriage? Who uses these nowadays?.

The carriage turned around and stood to one side, stopping in front of Riccardo and sisters. 

The door opened and out came a Antonio a little younger when some hairs were not yet white and her hair was still a bright brown.

 " Buongiorno, sisters, may the peace of the Lord be with you all " Antonio greeted the sisters with a smile on his face and waved to everyone.

 " Buongiorno, brother, may the peace of the Lord be with you too " The sisters and Riccardo in sync.

Antonio got out of the carriage and looked at Riccardo. It wasn't difficult to find him, he and Antonio were the only men there.

Antonio bent down and looked into Riccardo's eyes, analyzing that child. 

He saw nothing further a simple child.

 " You must be Riccardo " Riccardo nodded in confirmation " I'm Antonio, director of the Orphanage. I've come to take you to your possible new family " 

 " We are all children of God, Mr. Antonio we are already a big family " Antonio laughed at Riccardo's innocence.

 " Unfortunately, the small world doesn't think that way " Antonio stood up and signaled for Ricardo to turn around and say goodbye to his sisters, which he did.

All the sisters came together and gave Riccardo a hug.

Riccardo smiled while his sisters were saddened by his departure. 

They released little Riccardo. He turned, picked up his suitcase, climbed into the carriage, and entered. He looked at his sisters, smiled, and handed them his suitcase. 

The priest made a noise with his mouth making the horses run.

The sisters stood still, watching little Riccardo leave the convent where he had been born and lost his mother. The nuns would miss the young scholar.

 " AAA!!! " One of the sisters shouted as she pointed forward, making all the sisters look forward. 

Riccardo had half of his body hanging out the window. He smiled at the sisters, who screamed in fear that he would fall out of the carriage.

Riccardo felt something told him to stay inside the carriage and so he did. 

 " Lively young man? " The priest asked the young Riccardo, who was adjusting his seat.

 " I have never been to school and I'm excited to meet new people and spread the word of God even further " Riccardo said with a smile on his face.

The priest smiled.

 ' The innocence of a child is a truly adorable, sometimes I feel like this is getting lost and some kids are portrayed as mentally retarded ' Antonio knew that Riccardo had lost his mother at a very young age, but he had not yet lost his innocence but he also showed a high maturity for his age.

 " Everything has its time, my young man. First you need to live in civilization, living in a convent is different from living in a civilization and then live in society you will understand my point of view " Priest Antonio knew that modern times had not made human beings better. In fact, it seems that humans have become worse than before, and the discussion about whether humans should be better is on the rise.

 " You won't explain it to me, you'll let me learn it myself " Riccardo looked at the priest Antonio who agreed.

Unbeknownst to them, a guardian angel sat on top of the carriage with his arms crossed, enjoying the trip while protecting the child.

The trip went smoothly. They arrived in the city, and Riccardo was surprised and excited. It was common for a child to see his guardian angel, but he only saw sinners living filthy lives.

He saw no threat and remained standing on top of the carriage waiting to arrive at the place where Riccardo would live.

The orphanage is located far from the city, but you must enter the city to reach it. The angel remained silent, not opening his mouth for anything, he didn't think, he was just doing his job of protecting Riccardo.

Antonio and Riccardo arrived at an orphanage. It looked a lot like the convent where Antonio lived, only much bigger. The angel was pleased with its size.

Antonio and Riccardo stepped out of the carriage. The priest helped Riccardo with his suitcase, and little Riccardo thanked the animals for their help during the trip. One horse was happy, while the other snorted and looked up at the angel from the carriage.

 ' I never liked that some animals could see us ' He could become invisible to any being but his father allowed some animals to see him. 

The angel looked at Riccardo and saw that the other priests were a chubby guy, a black man, and a skinny guy. He looked like the angry one of the Seven Dwarves.

 " Buongiorno everyone! I'm Riccardo and I'm in your care from today onwards " Riccardo introduced himself to the other priests.

 " Buongiorno Riccardo, I'm Luigi " The priest chubby with the bowl haircut he introduced himself, he had black hair and dark brown eyes.

 " Greetings Riccardo, I'm Romero " The black-skinned priest with white hair covering Riccardo.

 " I am Tosco " The thin priest with very light blond hair and blue eyes introduced himself.

 " Afro " The angry man said to Riccardo.

Riccardo smiled.

 " Since everyone has shown up, take Riccardo to together others, I have to return the horses " Antonio returned Riccardo's briefcase.

The priests concurred and escorted Riccardo into the orphanage. Antonio exhaled and shifted his focus to the horses.

 " Very well Lancelot and Genebra Let's go back to the stable, you must be tired of using that old thing " Antonio was caressing Genebra that made noise showing that she was happy.

 " No bite Lancelot " He said looking at the angry horse.

The horse promised nothing.

Riccardo was introduced to various places within the orphanage. It was also where he was introduced to technology. The convent was isolated and lacked technology. Here, he saw electricity for the first time and was impressed.

As he walked with the priests, he met a young Gabriel who was passing through the halls while holding a wooden sword.

 " Finished your training Gabriel? " The angry priest Afro asked the young Gabriel who was all sweaty.

 " Yes priest " Gabriel's attention was directed at the young Riccardo.

 " Buongiorno I'm Riccardo " Riccardo extended his hand to greet Gabriel.

Gabriel looked at Riccardo and then at the priests.

 " Riccardo stayed with us from today " The priest Afro answered the question that Gabriel was still going to ask.

Gabriel saw the opportunity to be a cool brother.

 " Want to be an exorcist? " The priests were disappointed with Gabriel, he invited anyone to be an exorcist.

 " No thanks very much, I want to be a biologist to save people " Riccardo's response shocked Gabriel. 

 " Oh " Gabriel was surprised by this answer " Alright so... I'm going to take a shower " 

Gabriel left a little discouraged while the priests were paralyzed.

 " So... Where are others? " Riccardo asked.

The priests understood what he was referring to and then took him to where the other orphans were. 

Riccardo was surprised that most of the orphans were still very young children. 

 " Is that all? " Riccardo asked confused he expects more people.

 " The older ones are at school, here are the little ones " Luigi responded as he watches a child who had just turned one year old crawling towards Riccardo.

Riccardo dropped his suitcase, bent down, and picked up the small child, bringing her to his eye level.

 " Little Maria liked you Riccardo " Romero said he watched little Maria extend her arms to receive a hug from Riccardo.

He smiled and did as he was asked and gave little Maria a hug. 

— 

 " Very good child, we are here today Farm the old Luiz " There was another priest who was fatter than priest Luiz and had a bowl cut and he cut the top of his head.

Priest Giuseppe

 " You will learn how to care for animals and why it's important to keep them in optimal conditions " The priest had his eyes closed as he pointed upward. Before him stood some young people who were visibly bored, showing that they did not want to be there.

 " You all help with the tasks that should be assigned to Mr. Luiz and his employees. You take care of, clean, feed the animals and they will only eat after I finish harvesting and then they will help fix the shed— "

 " Priest Giuseppe, Brother Riccardo is riding a horse " One of the orphan girls pointed behind the priest where there was an area where the horses stayed and Riccardo was running on top of a little white horse.

Giuseppe saw that and the first thing he did was put his hand on his head and scream like Homer.

 " RICCARDO! " Giuseppe very high while Riccardo was still running on horseback very excited.

The priest jumped the fence and ran desperately towards the horse. 

Riccardo kept riding his horse, loving the feeling of the speed and wind in his hair. His heart beat faster and faster with excitement.

 " RICCARDO!!! " His eyes opened wide as he looked back and saw the priest. The priest, Giuseppe, was running at the same speed as a horse, which was rather astonishing.

 " Hoo " He pulled the horse's laces back, making the horse slow down until the horse stopped completely then he turned the horse.

Priest Giuseppe arrived, running at high speed. He suddenly stopped, showing clear signs of extreme fatigue. He leaned back on his knees and took a deep breath.

 " RICCARDO WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING! " The priest yelled at Riccardo as the horse lowered itself for Riccardo to get off the horse

 " Horseback riding " Riccardo had gotten off his horse, he lightly hit the horse to get him up off the ground.

 " YOU ARE NOT BIG ENOUGH TO RUN A HORSE! YOU COULD HAVE HURT! " The priest reprimanded Riccardo while the horse didn't seem to care at all about the priest scolding your friend.

 " For a fat guy you're too soft Giu " Riccardo and Giuseppe looked to their left and found the farmer who owned the place: old Mr. Luiz, wearing a dark brown leather hat, a light green and black plaid shirt, jeans, and brown boots.

 " Mr. Luiz! Riccardo is not had tall for that look at him! " With an expression of shock and terror, Giuseppe pointed at Riccardo with both arms, while Riccardo, oblivious, saw no problem.

 " This kid is eleven years old and already riding a horse now! When I was five I was already competing in tournaments! " The farmer crossed his arms and stared at the priest.

 " Lying is a sin " Father Guiseppe spoke down.

 " Who's lying you fat guy! " Farmer Luiz, although old, had very good hearing. 

The other orphans watched the farmer and the priest curse each other out. Meanwhile, little Riccardo held the horse's reins and took him back to his corner.

An orphan jumped the fence and ran to Riccardo.

 " Riccardo " When Riccardo heard his name, he stopped and turned around. He saw one of his brothers from the orphanage approaching him. The brother took the reins of his horse.

 " Brother Lucas " Riccardo was confused.

 " Back to the orphanage, I'll take care of it after all we have to do this anyway "Riccardo agreed to the orphanage brother's request. He turned to the horse, which lowered its head to say goodbye to its friend. Riccardo patted the horse on the head before leaving.

Riccardo left for the orphanage, leaving Old Luiz's farm behind. As he walked, he prayed for his brothers, sisters, and the priests who took care of him. He prayed for the convent sisters who cared for him. He was far away, but he still cared about them. He wished he could come back and see his sisters again, but for now, he wanted to dedicate himself to his studies.

Returning to the orphanage he went to the room where he and his siblings underneath his bed was his suitcase that he had brought with him, which contained the books he had brought with him. 

Opening the suitcase he took out one of the books he brought with him.

The Hobbit 

He went to the kitchen and asked for an apple to priest Jose who was responsible for the kitchen.

He went outside the orphanage, where the other children were either playing or training to become exorcists. His younger siblings played and laughed, while the older children trained.

As Riccardo passed, he watched his siblings doing their activity, but he was going to do his own thing. He sat under a tree, opened a book, and began reading the famous phrase.

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.

Riccardo was surprised and his curiosity increased so he continued reading.

Young Riccardo laughed as Bilbo basically wasn't hiding his excitement at going on an adventure with the wizard, Gandalf. The unexpected arrival of the dwarves made Riccardo a little angry because Bilbo invited Gandalf and not the dwarves but even so he served the dwarves and Gandalf, who devoured all the food.

When it was time to clear the table the dwarves started to sing

 Chip the glasses and crack the plates!

 Blunt the knives and bend the forks!

That’s what Bilbo Baggins hates–

 Smash the bottles and burn the corks!

Cut the cloth and tread on the fat!

 Pour the milk on the pantry floor!

Leave the bones on the bedroom mat!

 Splash the wine on every door!

Dump the crocks in a boiling bowl;

 Pound them up with a thumping pole;

And when you’ve finished, if any are whole,

 Send them down the hall to roll!

That’s what Bilbo Baggins hates!

So, carefully! carefully with the plates!

The very happy song that stuck in Riccardo's head.

After the dwarves had cleaned and emptied Bilbo's food supply they gathered around the fireplace singing songs about the dragon that invaded a kingdom and stole everything from a race of dwarves.

The dangers of the adventure were the first thing that the wizard, Gandalf, warned his fellow dwarves about, while poor Bilbo was already scared and only thought about facing a dragon head on. 

A dragon 

For Riccardo, dragons were derived dinosaurs.

Well, he was a child and since both were considered reptiles, he could have had some basis.

The next day Bilbo woke up and saw his house just as the dwarves had left, organized and stacked dishes, around 11 the wizard Gandalf arrives and shows him a letter left by the dwarves, thank the Hobbit for his hospitality.

Upon reading the letter and being slightly influenced by Gandalf, Bilbo could not resist the call of adventure and left home like a hurricane.

Riccardo laughed and took a bite of his apple as he himself couldn't deny that if he had a call for adventure he would want to go along too. 

His mind imagined several scenes where he had friends and explored the most diverse places in search of treasures.

His heart filled with joy until he felt the stranger in his left hand.

He looked at his hands and saw flowers between his fingers, which confused him. There were no flowers near the tree or outside the garden where priests, brothers, and sisters cared for them.

His mind did not understand, he knew where those roses came from, these roses were not natural because they were blue.

He raised his hand a few inches above the ground, and the roses grew larger. He wasn't holding them with his fingers; he simply raised his hand, intending to remove it from between the roses. 

He lowered his hand touching the grass again and roses diminished.

He did it again and again 

 " Am I a wizard? "Confused, He questioned himself, because he himself didn't understand that. 

—

 " Please priest I am ready " Gabriel was following the priests Afro and Antonio.

Without impatient the priests Afro turned to Gabriel.

 " Are you still ready, your training is incomplete if you go now, you will fail the exams " Afro knew that Gabriel was not in full condition to take the exorcist test. 

 " I've been training for the last 10 years, how come I'm not ready yet? " Gabriel didn't understand, he started training at age 10 and now at 17 he still wasn't ready.

 " The test to be an exorcist will not be a simple one to test your knowledge, you need to push your body to the human limit— " The priest stopped speaking when he saw Riccardo arriving with a small pot of blue roses.

 " Am I interrupting something? " Riccardo asked as he looked at the priests and his brother.

 " No Riccardo is not interrupting anything, what do you have in your hands? " Afro shook his head and looked at what Riccardo had in his hands. 

 " Where did you buy these flowers? " Priest Antonio asks, bending over a little to get a better look at the blue roses. 

The priest looked very closely and saw no signs of plastic surgery. 

 " They came up while I was reading " Riccardo responded leaving the priests and his brother confused.

 " How? " Afro asked so confused while his brothers.

 " I believe, I am a wizard. See " Riccardo placed it not on top of the flowers, but began raising his hand calmly as they grew. 

The three were left with such a thing Riccardo was really a wizard until proven otherwise.

— 

 " Do you think they're going to kick me out, brother? " Riccardo asked Gabriel who was sitting next to him.

Since revealing himself to be a 'wizard', Gabriel had not left Riccardo's side. The priests had told him to wait outside the orphanage director's office. Riccardo thought he would be expelled for being a "wizard" and that would go against church regulations. 

 " WHAT! No! They didn't kick you out of the orphanage brother— If you do this, I will go with you " 

 " Brother. You must not give up your dream for me because, I'll do fine " Gabriel didn't believe it. He wouldn't have accepted such a thing. Riccardo wasn't ready for the unpleasantness of the world.

The door opened and the priest Afro put part of his body outside the room and signalled to Riccardo to come in. Riccardo and Gabriel stood up and went to the door. The priest let Riccardo in, but stopped Gabriel. 

 " You can't come in Gabriel this is confidential—" 

 " Considering Riccardo's situation and the risk of him being sent off, I won't wait to see " 

Priest Afro placed his arm on Gabriel's chest, but Gabriel quickly removed it and entered the room.

 ' Considerable force, good speed ' Afro was satisfied that Gabriel's strength and speed were minimally acceptable. 

Afro closed the door.

Riccardo and Gabriel entered the orphanage director's room, the two were not very impressed with the orphanage director's office. To the boys' left, there were three open windows through which a gentle breeze blew. There were also some metal cabinets near the windows, which held important documents. There was a table with two chairs in front of the director's chair, and another chair behind it.

A little way away from the table, there was a large bookshelf full of books. In the far corner, there was a small door.

Priest Antonio came out of that door carrying with him a large book.

He was surprised to see Gabriel inside the room.

 " I believe told only Riccardo to enter? " Antonio raised an eyebrow, waiting for an answer. 

 " Normally I wouldn't question. Unfortunately with a high chance of Riccardo being expelled for witchcraft, I decided not to wait and see " Gabriel crossed his arms in a weak attempt to show some authority. 

Antonio looks at Afro waiting for an answer.

 " Gabriel showed considerable strength and a good speed, he can participate. Plus he is genuinely concerned about Riccardo, he deserves to know " Afro surprised the two boys, for children and young people he was the strictest priest and he doesn't care about the opinion of young.

 " If old exorcist captain said who am I to question " Antonio laughed as the boys were surprised to learn that Afro was formerly an exorcist.

Gabriel was surprised a former exorcist was caring for orphans, he spent years training and he didn't know there was an exorcist caring for him and his brothers and sisters.

 ' Priest Afro was a former exorcist ? Why did he leave being an exorcist to take care of an orphanage? Was he watching me? No, he's probably retired he himself said that his appearance does not correspond to his age ' Gabriel was very surprised that the most boring priest was an exorcist.

Antonio sighed and looked at Riccardo who was still holding the pot with flowers.

 " So..... Is Riccardo a wizard or not? " Gabriel asked without taking his eyes off the book, that seemed to be very important.

Afro and Antonio looked at each other before turning their attention to Riccardo.

 " Unfortunately we have no knowledge of magic Riccardo " The boys' eyes widened, they couldn't believe what they had just heard. 

 " But believe Riccardo may have something much more special called Sacred Gear" Talking about priest Antonio only made the boys even more confused, without understanding anything. 

 " Sacred Gear? What is this? "Gabriel was very confused, first they couldn't say if Riccardo wasn't a wizard and now they come with this Sacred Gear thing.

 " The sacred gears are artifacts powerful that grants powers to humans, these artifacts were created by us God and his son Jesus Christ, these artifacts allow humans to fight against demons and false gods" Gabriel raised an eyebrow. By his expression, it seemed that he hadn't absorbed the information very well. Riccardo, on the other hand, seemed very excited.

 " These S-Sacred Gear if Riccardo really has a " Gabriel looked at Riccardo and Riccardo looked at Gabriel who turned his attention to Antonio.

 " Is there any way I can have one too? " Gabriel asked if he could have Sacred Gear.

 " Unfortunately not, some of that intense training I put you through was just to see if you had a Sacred Gear but unfortunately you were unlucky Gabriel " Afro was responsible for some of Gabriel's training, he made Gabriel do some inhumane training pushing him to his limit.

 " The Sacred Gears cannot be obtained, Gabriel. A Sacred Gear is linked to the life and soul of its owner. I'm sorry, Gabriel " Gabriel was sad to hear this. 

Riccardo looked at his brother Gabriel who was sad because he had no powers, Gabriel took a deep breath and let out a sigh before lifting his head. 

 " Are you sure the name is Sacred Gear and not Sacred Equipment? Why is it my weird to have a gear in our bodies? We are some kind of machines ? " Gabriel really wanted to confirm because he found it strange that an artifact from God was called a gear and not equipment. The idea of having a gear inside his body was already very strange, it made him feel less human and more machine.

 " No brother. I believe it is just a name " Riccardo tried to calm his brother who was thinking too much about why the sacred gears had that name. 

Gabriel took a deep breath and let it out, he repeated this same process until he calmed down. 

 " What's in the book " Gabriel asked wanting to know why book.

 " Here are the answers to your question Riccardo " Priest Antonio placed the book on the table. The boys went over to the chairs and sat down. Riccardo handed Gabriel the pot and pulled his chair back slightly so that he could climb onto it. 

Gabriel placed the flower pot on the right-hand side of the book, so that if the book contained any illustrations, they could be compared. Riccardo climbed onto the chair so he could see because unfortunately, although he was eleven years old, he was a little too short. 

Riccardo was the first to open the book and the first thing the boys saw was the name Longinus.

 " Why is the name of the Roman soldier who stabbed Jesus in this book? " Riccardo asked while Gabriel was just confused.

 " For his feat of piercing the flesh of God, a group of Sacred Gears bears his name in honor of his feat of pure the flesh of a God " Priest Antonio said but without revealing much. 

Gabriel turned the page and the first thing he saw was the first Longinus.

 ' True Longinus the spear used by the Roman soldiers whose is engraved on the spear and the group of Sacred Gears that can kill gods and Buddhas! ' Gabriel did not hide his expression of surprise when he saw the content that was written.

 " Gods and Buddhas? In the plural? " Gabriel asked to the priests and they agreed, Gabriel swallowed hard as he trembled with fear.

 " Only the glow of a spear can kill a demon king, It must be kept away from the faithful as it can drive them mad. Where is that spear? " Gabriel asked in a very serious tone and he only read the first one.

 " We don't know " Afro said making Gabriel scream.

 " Perhaps no one at that time could have awakened the holy spear * Sigh of frustration * There is no machine to locate Sacred Gears users, much less Longinus users. No one knows where a Sacred Gear user can to be born " Priest Antonio said very seriously, sending shivers down Gabriel's spine.

 " Zenith Tempest Longinus is able to control all the elements of nature and even change the climate to his liking, completely ignoring the natural climate of the regions " After Riccardo read the description of the second Longinus Gabriel turned pale.

 " Without a doubt it is a work of God " Gabriel could not believe this could fall into human hands.

Annihilation Maker, Dimension Lost, Boosted Gear, Divine Dividing, Regulus Nemea, Canis Lykaon, Sephiroth Graal, Incinerate Anthem, Absolute Demise, Innovate Clear, Telos Karma.

With each description, the boys were terrified by the power of the Longinus, the thing that most caught Gabriel's attention was that God took three beasts from pagan myths and placed them inside the gears. 

The biggest surprise for Gabriel was learning that the red dragon and white dragon of the Arthurian myths were powerful dragons that God had trapped in the gears.

Riccardo, because he read a lot, knew about the legend of King Arthur, but his opinion about King Arthur was different. 

 " King Arthur is a piece of trash! Just because he is worthy of pulling a sword from the stone he is not a good King and he even committed a sin and made a child with his own blood sister! This idiot king deserved the fate that people of his kingdom paid for with their lives " Riccardo didn't like King Arthur.

The boys after finishing the pages of Longinus that were written as a priority they went to normal Sacred Gear who had no ability to kill gods.

But they soon went to the last pages.

The first thing that caught the attention of the two boys was: EXTREME PRIORITY WHEN THIS SACRED GEAR WAS FOUND IT MUST BE TAKEN TO THE VATICAN URGENTLY 

Gabriel looked at Riccardo who wasn't showing any fear, just curiosity, but Gabriel was already tense. 

Riccardo fearlessly turned the page.

The angel who could not be seen by anyone looked over Riccardo and his eyes widened.

-

Riccardo's mother sat on the edge of a vast lake, where the dead could see their family members and descendants. 

She was watching her son praying alone in part of the orphanage that was also a church ( I don't know the exact name ) He had the rosary that she had made herself in his hands, he was sitting while thanking God.

 " In the name of the father, son and holy spirit amen. Lord, you said not to pray for the dead. So I ask that you please deliver this message to my dear and deceased mother who is now in your kingdom " Riccardo took a deep breath and looked at the rosary in his hands.

 " My dear mother, it is me, your son Riccardo, you left this world a long time ago 8 years and the lady had left only a rosary for me made from yours own hands which unfortunately is not true. The lady gave me another gift without either of us knowing " Riccardo raised his head and looked at the ceiling, as though he could see his mother above the clouds.

 " You are an artifact made by the hands of God. A Sacred Gear and I will use this power for the good of the innocent I will help save them " He smiled. His mother was surprised by this. She talks to users of the Sacred Gears who are very old, and she imagines that her son has one too.

 " So please don't stop watching me because I make history " 

Riccardo's mother was shocked to see her son's boldness, she didn't want to believe that her son made such a bold statement and even asked God to send her this message. 

She was very nervous already imagining the dangers that Riccardo would face. 

But two strong hands fell on her though making her turn around and look back.

 " If didn't worry, he has my sacred gear, he chosen who will be worthy to be his user " The man has short brown hair and blue eyes, and a small beard on his chin and lower lip.

Saint George 

The Holy Dragon Slayer 

 " Have faith in your child and don't forget to observe your child " 

— 

Riccardo's mother looked at her son. The whole stadium went silent.

The gods can't believe what that mortal just said, but Riccardo's faction mates were laughing as if they already knew something big was coming. 

 " W-What " Thor blinked and didn't understand the reason for that question. 

Riccardo closed his eyes and let out a sigh of frustration. He raised his left arm towards Heimdall and a current made of sacred energy appeared around Gjallarhorn horn of the Apocalypse and then Riccardo pulled the horn towards him, Heimdall was surprised when he realized his precious Gjallarhorn was in Riccardo's hands. 

Riccardo took a deep breath and spoke.

 " WHO WAS THE WORM MISERABLE BASTARD SON OF A WHORE UNLOVED DISGRACE WHO TRAINED YOU FAILED ABORTION PROJECT!!! " Riccardo's hatred was enormous, he was not hiding his sin of anger in front of everyone. 

The Norse gods of DxD widened their eyes and stands open-mouthed in the face of Riccardo's hatred.

The priests who cared for Riccardo had mixed reactions, Afro blinked, he cleaned his ears because he can't believe Riccardo said that. Giuseppe his expression was completely clear that he was terrified eyes wide open, mouth open and sweating like a pig and trembling with fear. Luigi was shaking and sweating cold, Romero was tense.

Antonio, well, he was confident.

Thor, for the first time, finds himself in a situation he never imagined, he fought the way he always wanted, never followed anyone's orders except when the orders come straight from your father.

He was a man of few words and very reserved. 

He didn't expect this.

He swallowed his nervousness 

 " I didn't need anyone, I trained alone " Thor gave his answer but what he didn't expect was Riccardo's reaction.

He had no expression at all, he looked like a living dead man, he carefully folded the frames of his glasses and took them off. Then he hit his left hand against his forehead, sliding his hand across his face with the strong desire to rip his own face off and throw it at Thor.

His expressionless face changed to one of complete disgust. 

 " Without a doubt, the gods surpassed mortals in everything. Even being terrible parents " This sentence fell like the largest nuclear bomb ever dropped into the ocean.

The gods had no reaction.

Riccardo admitted that the gods are superior to mortals but he also admitted that gods are also worse than mortals.

The gods are worse than murderers and rapists and problematic people etc, etc, etc.

They are the worst beings that exist.

The Guardian faction laughed louder than anyone in the audience by the boldness of its leader.

Riccardo looked at Odin and Odin himself looked back at Riccardo with great hatred. 

 " Don't you dare make a face ugly for me Odin! You didn't even dare to raise this child! " Riccardo still looking at Odin and completely ignoring everyone in this stadium " You created a weapon that only cares about fighting and nothing else! Are you happy about that? "

It was irony mixed with anger

Odin did not change his expression, Riccardo was insignificant to him but Riccardo was challenging him directly, almost no one dared to question Odin directly. Most remained silent, but Riccardo claimed that Odin had created a weapon, not a son.

 " Don't waste your time, your fight is with me and not with my father " Thor stood up again, Riccardo looked at him with disgust.

 " Also, how did you know that I like fighting? " Thor asked wanting to understand how Riccardo discovered such a thing.

 " Do you really think it was that hard? " Riccardo raised an eyebrow. 

 " I've known a battle maniac from afar. Do you think he's the first one I've met? Please you are just one on my long list from a battle maniac that I'll send straight to nothing. Besides, battle maniacs are the height of stupidity " Cao-Cao didn't hide it much when they were alone, this was the point that Riccardo started Cao-Cao's doubt.

He noticed that Sairaorg and Vali were battle maniacs. When he increased his power, he added both of them to the list of future problems.

He has travelled the galaxy and lost cunt of the number of Battle Maniacs he has encountered on peaceful worlds that have achieved what humanity could not.

Thor was just another weapon 

 " Tell me human what is wrong with fighting strong opponents " Thor wanted an answer is wrong fight against the stronges

 " Tell me what you're going to do when you can't find another opponent stronger than you " Riccardo gave the answer that Thor did but not in the way he expected. 

What do you do when you reach the top? 

 " This thing about retarded people fighting against the strongest without having the same problem, what are you going to do when you are the strongest? Isn't your life all about fighting? So tell me, what will you do when you're the strongest of them all? " Zeus's attention was caught, his eyebrows were raised revealing his red eyes.

 " This ridiculous idea of challenging the strongest to become even stronger will only lead to stagnation. If you don't want to master anything, I'm sorry to inform you If you are already an empty shell, you will get worse " 

Ares paid attention to Riccardo's words, he imagined such a scenario if someone who liked to dominate things would probably feel a huge emptiness.

He knew someone who fit this very well, his father. 

Ares glanced discreetly at his father which was still concerted in Riccardo.

 ' The father never wanted this responsibility of governing everything, he wants to fight. He deceived even the most dangerous of the gods. He expects a rebellion so that he can fight again with everything he has. But ' Ares looked back at Riccardo.

 " You joined this vanguard to find someone strong, didn't you? " Riccardo looked at Thor with the gaze of a predator, his prey the pride of the Thunder Berserker.

 " You don't fight to protect, you fight to kill. You accepted this position because only someone incredibly could have the audacity to defy the gods and you would be the front line " Riccardo gave a smile, a sadistic smile he knew Thor wouldn't hide.

 " You accepted this can kill but also you learned that you had to protect, I'm not right " 

The gods looked at their vanguard and, to their surprise, saw that Thor was smiling like a madman. He couldn't hide that same smile, just like a certain Irish dog. 

 " You hit the nail on the head, damn it. Tell me what makes you different from me! " Thor raised his hammer and pointed it at Riccardo, who showed no fear. 

 " Different than being an empty jacket without a purpose in life. I have my goals but I am also a professor, Multi-language translator, Biologist, chemist and I'm also a father. The difference between me and you is as great as the gulf that separates mortals from gods " Riccardo threw his glasses towards the stands where his sister Lisa was.

Lisa felt something hit her face, but she didn't feel any pain. The glasses had been placed perfectly. A small antenna emerged from the side of the glasses and began to emit a low-frequency sound, forcing Lisa to open her eyes. 

A scanner made contact with the lenses of the glasses that Lisa was wearing, causing her to become paralysed for a few seconds.

Lisa has slowly started to change. She, who had never seen anything before her birth, began to see several colours at once. Then she realised that she could see.

The first thing she saw was Rafa's face.

Rafa saw Lisa's surprised expression and then he understood what his brother did, those glasses somehow gave him the vision that Lisa never had. 

Lisa looked forward, staring at the holographic screen where she was horrified by her brother's serious expression. 

 " You are empty and purposeless. I am the opposite, I've done a little bit of everything and I won't have a problem to stop fighting, I probably went back to the orphanage where I grow up and take care of the new orphanages while I wait for the end of my life " Riccardo put his hands in his coat and began to take off his coat.

The members of his faction tensed up, while the rest were completely confused as to why he was doing this. What difference would removing a simple coat make in a fight like this?

Well the answer came as soon as he removed his coat.

Humans and beings with similar anatomy to humans were surprised to see Riccardo's arms, Clothes often hide a person's real size and for Riccardo it was no different, his arms were big but not huge and something else his arms were dry and had little fat so you could see the muscle fibers.

 " You are still a child in an adult's body. I am already a full adult although my appearance is 24 years old " Riccardo threw his coat up.

The Guardian Faction was visibly surprised, they thought Riccardo would put the coat around his waist but he threw it away, that means he would release.

The people who were near the guardian faction saw Riccardo's coat falling towards them, The coat was too stylish to be dirty with dust.

 " DON'T TOUCH THIS " Jack shouted urgently making the people who wanted to get the coat stop 

The reason came in the next few seconds 

The coat fell very quickly and made a very loud noise. 

That couldn't have been done by a coat; it must have been done by something incredibly heavy by human standards. The ground was barely altered so that people could see it. 

A Strongman saw that coat on the floor, he got up and tried to lift the coat and he realized that coat was the biggest neck he had holding.

People came a tall strong man like really trying hard to lift that coat.

He fell on his backside on the floor. He couldn't believe that a coat could weigh so much. What weight is that?

 " That coat weighs a ton " Jack was relieved that nobody had been hurt. He couldn't believe that anyone would be crazy enough to steal Riccardo's coat.  

 ' I forgot. We may not be on Earth, but we are surrounded by people in the world who don't know us. Fuck a person almost died ' Jack forgot about human stupidity.

Riccardo's mother was tense. She didn't understand anything about physical education, but judging by her son's appearance and how threatened he seemed, his opponent must have been formidable.

The sisters her hands were together but none of them were praying because they were also very nervous. 

She put her hands together and began pray.

 " The my Lord Jesus, My God helped my son " 

Thor felt refreshed, he wanted to fight and try to show Riccardo how wrong he was, but unfortunately, that only works for idiots like him.

Riccardo saw nothing but pure nonsense and waste of time.

He would end this in the next few seconds.

The my Lord Jesus, My God I helped my son

 Whose voice is that?

 It's my mother's voice 

 Why is she praying she has no faith in us?

 There must be some reason 

 ' I already know what it is, she probably doesn't know '

 After everything we did, the promise we made 

 ' I believe that the dead are limited to only the earth or fear of seeing us die '

 Understandable, but we must calm her down

 " Oh I ask my lord, save my son he is very young — "

 " Mamma! " 

She stopped praying, she opened her eyes and looked down, her son called for her. Down on the battlefield, her son looked at her. He simply turned his head, his hands in his pockets, and Thor was clearly irritated by the fact that he was being ignored.

 " Mamma please do not waste your time and God, request for my protection " He smiled at his mother.

He could have gotten older, he could have gotten a scar, he may have gotten muscles but he was still her boy.

 " Don't worry about me Mamma. He is weak and as I said this fight is already won and I still haven't used the gift you gave me when I was born "

 ' He has a Sacred Gear but which? ' Riccardo confirmed that he had a Sacred Gear. It was impossible for him to possess a holy sword; the gods would not leave such powerful weapons scattered around the world.

Not even the gods 

Azazel was right, Riccardo had a Sacred Gear, but he didn't know which one yet.

She remembered the gift that God gave her son the moment he was born, which she hadn't given him herself.

She waved to her son.

He smiled 

He changed his expression from happy to serious, Thor was enraged that Riccardo simply didn't pay attention to this fight.

 " Very bold of you ignore dodge in the middle of a fight "

 " I've said it before, and I'll say it again: you're weak. On top of that, you didn't receive proper training, yet you still think you can beat me? I should kill you in the next instant " Riccardo said pointing at Thor, he looked like an adult scolding a child.

 " But how I am Professor and this is something in my nature, I will teach you the least fight. Besides the but " Riccardo smiled like a true teacher who loved to teach people. He raised his right hand above his shoulder and pointed to the audience with his thumb.

 " My fans "

The aliens started to get excited.

 " My family "

The priests and nuns were astonished at the mention, the guardians smiled.

 " My brothers and sisters " 

All his brothers and sisters from the orphanage were here, the older ones were nervous, while the younger ones were excited. 

 " My dear daughter " A sadistic, malice-filled smile formed on Riccardo's face. 

Mordred was in a private room hidden from everyone and safe.

 " He's had that smile again "

 " JESUS! How a saint has a smile like that! None of Luci had a smile like that "

 " He truly honors his title "

There were three people guarding Mordred.

The Gods felt a power similar to a demon god emanated from the body but something that makes the gods shiver but wild was Riccardo's smile. Even the great sage who equals the heavens is considered a low-ranking god but incredibly strong saw that smile that would make even the most dangerous that a demon god, Belial.

 " After all AS THE DAMNED RED ARROW SAID THERE IS NOTHING BETTER THAN HUMILIATING A GOD IS HUMILIATING HIM IN FRONT OF HIS OWN PEOPLE! ESPECIALLY A CHILD WHO IS RUDE DUE TO THE NEGLIGENCE OF HIS OWN FATHER " The phrase was certainly not that but it maintains the same meaning. 

Thor could not feel hate because it made him afraid.

Adam swallowed hard, not even Cain caused him so much fear that was really worse than yours.

 ' Oh Father, this is really a saint ' The saints got nervous that made Lucifer look like nothing.

 ' He is making Rizevim a child ' The demons felt that Lucifer's son was outmatched by a human this time.

 " And also how I am a good Professor. I would teach you the basics of fighting " Thor can't believe that boldness in front of him.

Riccardo pulled out his two swords, the same ones that had inspired him in the tale of the Chinese couple. 

 " So in guard! " Riccardo advanced, holding his swords upside down, and formed an X with them as he moved towards Thor.

 ' What? — AAAA ' Thor felt his back being cut and blood falling.

Thor lost his balance a little and took a step forward. 

 " Thor's back was mutilated! " Heimdall didn't understand what happened.

 " HOW! " Ares jumped off his couch, he had seen Riccardo's entire trajectory but he simply disappeared.

 " Unbelievable he disappeared and reappeared of absolute nothingness " Hermes made Ares freeze because Hermes, known as the fastest in the Heaven could not see.

Thor recovered, he turned to find his shoulders pierced by swords. His next surprise was the sudden appearance of Riccardo at his side, who delivered a powerful kick that sent Thor crashing into the wall. 

The gods were shocked by the strength of Riccardo's kick, he sent Thor to the wall. 

A powerful bolt of lightning came towards him but he bent his knees and he threw his body back, avoiding the lightning strike. 

There were rose-shaped chains on his wrists, so he pulled very hard.

Thor was pulled towards Riccardo, but when he tried to pull the hammer away, the chains disappeared.

Thor spun through the air before landing on his feet. Thor stood right in front of Riccardo, preparing to take his head off with his hammer. 

Riccardo made a motion with his left arm to stick something into the ground and then pulled hard. Thor lost his balance when his right foot was pierced by a light spear created by Riccardo. With his right arm, Riccardo grabbed Thor's foot and threw him back against the wall with great force. 

Thor crashed into the wall, but quickly got up. Then he saw that Riccardo had raised his right arm and that his forearm was covered by a transparent white aura, that was Touki.

Thor threw his hammer again.

Muda

Riccardo struck the hammer sent the giant killer hammer straight to the wall next to Thor.

L

Thor looked at how no one had hit his hammer before, he became even more excited. 

Her hair shone red along with red lightning.

He advanced wanting to crush Riccardo with his hands.

Riccardo raises his left arm to neck height. He raised his right arm, bending it so that it passed through his forehead. His hands were open and then the holy light came and began to take the form of a sword. 

Vasco widened his eyes.

The swords took the form of one of the holy swords

Durandal

The church members were amazed to see that Riccardo managed to make two durandal made of pure light.

A perfect copy 

Xenovia was the current owner of the sword but Vasco had dismantled the swords for his students before giving the sword to the church or rather the sword itself chose its next user.

The holy light of both light replicas shone like the sun.

The swords were together, crossed forming a cross.

The Guardian faction didn't have the habit of saying the names of the moves out loud, In fact, many of his moves didn't even have a name.

They are not children or Japanese

But for this blow he made an exception to the rule.

 " CROSS! DYURANDARU! " He attacked first with his left sword and then with his right sword, the cross turned into an X, hitting Thor's chest and causing an explosion that sent him flying backwards again.

He was dragged back and his boots left a mark on the floor, and his arms were covered in electrician's tape, so he went into defence mode, Riccardo was already in front of him and he didn't throw a punch, he kicked him in the crook of the knee.

Thor was made to lower himself, and then Riccardo punched Touki in the middle of his face, sending him flying into the wall.

Riccardo advanced, ready to bury Thor in the wall, but Thor quickly created a holy shield. A burst of electricity threw Riccardo back. 

Riccardo somersaulted and when his feet touched the ground he was dragged backwards. 

The shield was no longer necessary, as Thor raised his hammer and concentrated a lot of electricity on it, he hit the ground, creating a strong impact that spread electricity across the ground.

Riccardo jumped back, creating a staff of holy light which he stuck into the ground to prevent the electricity from reaching him.

Thor advanced like a wild beast towards Riccardo who did something unexpected.

Snapped from the fingers

The swords that were still attached to his shoulders exploded, causing severe pain throughout Thor's body, but he endured. Just as he was about to advance towards Riccardo, he delivered a downward kick to Thor's left shoulder, dislocating it. 

It was the first time anyone had dislocated Thor's arm. 

He endured the pain, this was the first time someone did this to him. 

He wasn't used to this kind of pain yet. 

Before he could act, he received a kick from Riccardo in big Blue Look style. 

They both moved away. Thor tried to move his arm but nothing happened, he would have to lift his hammer with just one arm which wouldn't be very good, for him to be as efficient as possible with his hammer he needed both hands, something he was unable to do.

He put more strength in his right arm and lifted the hammer. 

Riccardo saw an opportunity.

He made a war hammer with his head down already waiting for Thor. The attacks clashed. One came diagonally from above on the right and the other came from below on Riccardo's left, to the surprise of both, Thor's hammer slipped from his hand and Riccardo's hammer broke. 

 " They are both unarmed! " This was a very surprising turn of events for Heimdall, both unarmed fighters. 

What an unexpected thing

They both closed their fists and then they both punched. Their fists collided, generating a strong impact. In this contest of strength, Riccardo emerged victorious, sending Thor back to the wall.

Zeus's eyebrows were raised and a smile formed on his lips, Riccardo was much stronger than Thor capable of sending a god directly to the wall more than four times.

Odin applied more force to the arms of your seat causing them to start cracking.

 " Again!/ How many times has Thor been sent to the wall!/ I lost count, I think it was about three times?/Mirjonir escaped from Thor's hand this has never happened before/ How can a mortal be subjugated to our vanguard/ HE WAS SENT TO THE WALL 4 TIMES!!! " 

The gods and Norsemen saw such a thing, Thor was never armed, was never thrown into the wall and also never had his shoulder dislocated.

There's always a first time for everything 

The humans were very excited, especially Riccardo's brothers and sisters from an orphanage watching his little brother humiliating a false god with the power of the True God on your side, such a thing was unimaginable to everyone who knew Riccardo. He certainly should have become a priest but here he is humiliating a god.

Thor quickly grabbed his left shoulder and put it back in place, causing him a sharp pain. 

Thor lifts his head to a frightening sight.

Riccardo coming towards Thor.

Thor threw his body to the left side, Riccardo's punch was narrowly avoided, but the surprise came when his arm went too deep into the wall, causing an earthquake in the area of the gods. 

Zeus was very happy.

Ares and Hermes were horrified by this.

The ravens Odin's nozzle was open.

Shiva widened his eyes and leaned forward a little.

Riccardo looked at Thor, The Thunder Berserker went on the attack only to retreat shortly after, Riccardo raise his right leg which was covered by Touki and Holy aura that changed and turned into a spear.

Thor jumped away to the center of the arena, he ran away from Riccardo, but not for long. Thor raised his arms to chest height and began spinning like a tornado, surrounded by lightning.

Riccardo removed his arm from the wall, pieces of the wall fell after he removed his arm, the gods looked at it in horror with terrible force that Riccardo.

He turned Thor spinning very fast, he closed his fists that shone in gold.

Thor stopped rotate and threw his hammer which was wrapped in lightning and thunder, The hammer flew like a mission towards Riccardo.

Two transparent spheres appeared in Riccardo's hands 

Another technique he had no problem saying the name of, well at least in English.

 " GOD HAND! " Raising his right hand forward, another larger hand, made entirely of holy energy manifested himself before everyone, the hammer hit the holy energy hand like a baseball hit a glove. 

The impact was strong, Riccardo even managed to hold the hammer but was pushed back.

But he stood his ground even in the face of the strongest divine weapon in the Norse world, he stood tall and held his head high, his knees did not bend, they remained straight. 

With the god hand Riccardo grabbed the hammer and threw it on the arena floor, silencing everyone.

 " A divine weapon that when thrown would not stop until it hit its target has just been stopped before everyone's eyes!? " Heimdall did not hide his surprise even though he challenged himself to stay inside the arena in front of those two monsters. 

Odin leaned his body sharply forward.

Loki lost his voice.

 " That crazy guy is Sairaorg from the church. I barely saw that hammer coming out of his hand " Azazel felt a shiver run through his entire body. He had witnessed only a small part of his father's power; God had never used the full extent of his abilities, relying instead on his brilliant mind to free humanity from sin. 

He had just witnessed a brutal launch of a divine weapon like Mirjonir being stopped by the hands of a human with a technique that bears his Father's name.

 " I have no doubt that Riccardo is the Sairaorg of the church, Touki brute combined with his holy energy he is a monster of God " Sirzechs trembled of fear from the strong sacred energy coming out of Riccardo's body.

 " So much strength, he can surprise his joker Michael " Rafael said a little nervous but still excited to see the saint's strength.

Michael had about his wings. The one with the second most dangerous spear lowered it, the one that had pierced his father's body, but that saint there really came down to him, Michael who thought that Riccardo didn't have a Sacred Gear, Riccardo could receive the title of God's monster.

As the second strongest lowered from Dulio.

Thor didn't know how to contain his smile, today was truly the day he had been waiting for. 

Riccardo stepped forward with his left foot, stomping down hard on the ground, he flexed his arms and the muscle mass of his forearms some went to his biceps.

He attacked 

Thor defended himself 

Thor placed his left arm on his abdomen and his right arm on his chest, but this had no effect. Riccardo's fists hit two different places, and he was happy to see that Thor's back hands were protecting his heart and kidneys. Although Riccardo didn't hit any vital points, he did manage to damage Thor's hands. The muscle mass from his biceps transferred to his forearms, creating a powerful impact that sent Thor backwards.

His feet left the ground but that doesn't mean he wasn't sent far away he was almost sent back to the wall.

Thor looked at the backs of his hands and saw that his gloves were slightly cracked. This was an insignificant problem, but it was worrying. The real problem was that he was in a lot of pain.

 ' What a terrifying force, he looks like Zeus ' Thor looked at Riccardo, the saint looked like a true predator like a tiger that went out to hunt.

Although this technique is already human knowledge, but a breed of space tiger had improved this technique using body mass manipulation to increase the impact of the attack and of course Riccardo had learned.

 " What strength, that Touki is powerful, it's no wonder his companions were so strong " Sairaorg had to contain his excitement at seeing someone refining Touki as great as the Monkey King.

 " Don't think it's a bit of an exaggeration " Rossweiss thought Sairaorg was greatly exaggerating Riccardo's strength, though for her it was incredible that a normal human had that strength.

 " No, miss Valkyrie. According to Ken, he learned Touki at a very young age and when he met Riccardo and the others, he taught him how Touki works and everyone learned. Riccoardo decided to share all the battle knowledge they had gained, they compared between and each one used it the way they wanted. For greater efficiency in combat " Regulos revealed Ken's information to them.

 " So all members of the Guardian faction have the same techniques? " Issei asked a little doubtfully.

 " No and yes at the same time. They all have Touki but each has a different level. They all have access to the sacred aura, but each one uses it in a different way, your sacred gears are living proof of their individuality but everyone has less basic knowledge about how to fight. Ken, although he himself does not fight with swords, he does know a little about this art and knows a little about how to use swords " Regulos revealed that the Guardian faction had a lot of abilities, even if limited. 

 " Seeking wisdom and combat wisdom is still wisdom. Riccardo is a devout Catholic, he follows God's teachings and would not suddenly make the same mistakes and still ensuring minimum knowledge in other areas of combat. I'm even afraid to know what he would do if he were the pope of the church " Georg was very afraid that Riccardo would be a pope, In fact, he doesn't need to be a pope, he just needs to be in a high position and Georg would have the absolute certainty that the church faction would increase its forces. 

Gabriel had a crooked smile of nervousness, his brother was showing amazing and deadly fighting skills.

 " It would be cool for him to be captain " Michelangelo said, already imagining how difficult the training to be an exorcist under Riccardo's command would be. 

 " We wouldn't be able to sign up " Gabriel could already give up being an exorcist if Riccardo is in command of the exorcists.

 " Well, he's better than Touji Shidou " Michelangelo and Gabriel started laughing.

Beside his daughter, Touji Shidou sneezed and he knew who was talking about him.

 " Saint Maria how did he get so strong " Tessa can't believe how strong Riccardo was showing. Meanwhile, the other sisters made a sign with the words: KILL THIS FALSE GOD.

Thor advanced like a beast to crush Riccardo.

Riccardo took a simple step to the side.

Just like bullfighting, which, incredibly, had its origins in the Roman Empire and not in Spain.

Thor turned and tried to grab Riccardo but unfortunately for Thunder Berserker, Riccardo slapped Thor's hand away quickly to avoid being grabbed. Then he went behind Thor and did the same thing he did to the father of humanity: a German suplex.  

 " RICCARDO GAVE A SUPLEX " Heimdall was having a heart attack.

Riccardo let go of Thor and quickly got up and started spinning around very fast and threw Thor to the wall again but it didn't happen this time, Thor managed to accomplish the same feat that Riccardo did when Thor tried to rip off his head.

With lightning around your legs, he attacked Riccardo.

Riccardo was faster and did a backflip, distancing himself quite a bit from Thor. 

Like a flash of lightning, Thor arrived at the place where Riccardo was supposed to be, but unfortunately for Thor, Riccardo had escaped again. 

Thor had found Riccardo but it was too late.

Riccardo saw Thor running towards him with his body wrapped in electricity, Riccardo, knowing that electricity had a lot of advantage against him, made the more rational decision to jump and get some distance. 

He did a backflip that he went into the wall in the arena when his feet touched the wall, in the best Spider-Man style, like a spring he threw himself at full speed towards Thor preparing a deadly kick.

Riccardo's right leg turned golden was the reinforced Touki, his leg shone with a golden glow then Riccardo kicked Thor in the left side of the face, breaking the air and causing an incredible impact.

Thor was hit hard but he remained firm and before he could act on anything, Riccardo attacked left leg another brutal attack made arena tremble with its power.

Then a rain of kicks that looked like stars colliding with Thor's face while he could do absolutely nothing.

Riccardo's mother felt her heart freeze when she saw that her son had somehow created stars to reach that false god. 

 " WHAT'S THIS! RICCARDO IS KICKING SO FAST THAT HIS KICKS LOOK LIKE STARS " Heimdall couldn't contain his excitement at seeing how fast a human could be.

After billions of Kick in sequence, Riccardo delivers a powerful kick to the face right in the middle of Thor's face, breaking the god's nose. Thor's head was thrown back as blood poured from his nose, he had closed his eye but then he opened his eyes and roared like a wild beast and attacked Riccardo but Riccardo did the same.

The two punched each other in the face.

Riccardo became slightly irritated because he could feel the electricity entering his nervous system. He felt his body becoming slightly paralysed or dead.

So before your body became paralyzed, great.

Riccardo went behind Thor and did a suplex again, making Thor fall face down on the ground but he didn't stop, continuing a suplex sequence.

 " Two suplexes " Heimdall said but the problem is that Riccardo didn't stop, He continued.

 " Third suplex? " Riccardo didn't stop he continued.

 " Four! " 

 " Fifth "

 " Sixth? "

 " Seventh! "

 ' Eighth! ' In the last one, Riccardo jumped really high and buried Thor's face in the arena floor. 

Eight suplexes followed by stopping a technique that the normal human body would be able to execute perfectly. 

Originally it was only supposed to be seven suplexes but Riccardo did the eighth because he was angry. 

 " IVAN! " Riccardo turned to the audience with his left arm raised where his veins were highlighted his closed fist pointing at his friend.

In the audience, a monk from the Orthodox Church, Ivan, a former underground fighter who Riccardo helped convert to the side of God. 

 " This one's for you, my friend " He opened his raised fist and hit his chest and pointed it at his Russian friend. 

Thor started to get up so he could receive a kick in the middle of the chest, a golden chain was wrapped around Thor's neck and then he was pulled and given a lasso, sending him even further behind, Thor managed to stand up but Riccardo had already disappeared from his field of vision. 

He felt Riccardo's hands on his waist, he was already prepared for a suplex but it didn't turn out as Thor expected.

Riccardo jumped with Thor, the Thunder Berserker found himself scary because he was far from the ground, he felt Riccardo's hands on his waist. He was prepared for a suplex, but it didn't turn out as Thor had expected.

Riccardo and Thor left the edge of the Colosseum. It took them less than a minute to start fighting. Riccardo began by landing a hammer blow on Thor's shoulders. 

Riccardo's brothers and sisters were tense it was a freefall battle, Riccardo was punching and kicking while Thor was barely able to grab Riccardo for a headbutt. Riccardo elbowed Thor in the face and then he turned his head down and then he kicked Thor in the shoulder.

Holy power in the form of chains wrapped around Thor's upper body. Then, Riccardo pulled the berserker up and immediately punched him in the knees. 

Then he grabbed Thor's knee, pushed it down, made him turn his back, and stomped on his scapula, which would affect his arm movements. 

Guiseppe was biting his nails like a cartoon, while Afro and Gabriel raised their fists, cheering for Riccardo in that false god with much more force. 

The convent sisters were chewing their lips as they watched Riccardo fighting at high speed, the human eye is limited, they could not keep up with that ridiculous speed, it was already difficult main when someone exceeds the speed of sound.

Ivan could see it was a miracle that he managed through his prayers to see what others cannot see, he could see Riccardo's punches and he was amazed that even in free fall Riccardo could fight. 

Riccardo punched Thor in the face, making him stand on his head. He then grabbed Thor's waist, slipping his legs under the Thunder Berserker's arms.

Then both spin in the air to lower between the ground, Thor started to feel dizzy. When he least expected it, his face hit the ground with a violent thud. First your face felt the impact, then your chest and the rest of your body. 

When Riccardo saw that he was just a few inches from the ground, he realised that Thor would fall alone.

 " это подарок от матушки России ( This is a gift from mother Russia ) " Riccardo raised his right fist showing some of the strength of the great Mother Russia while behind him the Russian people shouted with joy.

 I believe it's time 

 Time? Time for what?

 ' To show gift from my mother ' 

 Oh that? Your mother is going to have a heart attack 

Lightning flashed around Thor's body, then like blades from the sky as if it had come out of a video game, only very fast and frantic and almost impossible to follow with a normal eye.

 " Oh~ Mere sparks " Rodrigo said not impressed.

Riccardo was dodging lightning non-stop, their entire bodies covered by reinforced Touki increasing your speed and agility and your senses by increasing new senses to the extreme awakened as if he were seeing the future.

It wasn't a challenge, but it was very intense. 

Thor appeared behind in mid-air with his hammer raised, Riccardo turned around and raised his arms to defend himself. Riccardo was sent to the arena floor and Thor went after him, Riccardo stood up and saw Thor coming towards him raising both hands making two God hands.

He managed to hold the hammer and dodged the attack Then he threw the hammer on the ground and advanced to land a punch in Thor's face, who managed to dodge it by tilting his face and landed a kick in Riccardo's ribs. 

Thor turned in the direction Riccardo was throwing and then he raised his hammer and gave a powerful blow to the ground causing lightning to come out of the ground and go towards Riccardo. 

Riccardo, seeing the lightning coming towards him, his reinforced Touki focused only on his arms and punched the ground, creating a barrier of holy light.

The defense was effective 

 " Thor launches a lightning attack from the arena floor but Riccardo is unfazed and manages to defend himself " Heimdall was surprised by Thor's attack coming out of the ground and Riccardo's defense.

Riccardo placed one of his hands on the ground, Thor didn't wait and ran towards Riccardo's barrier and he managed to destroy the barrier and he was ready to hit Riccardo's head.

Thor smiled, he had the advantage now he aimed and attacked Riccardo's head so he could disappear right away. 

 ' WHAT! ' Thor was hit in the back of his head.

Riccardo had landed a kick right at the back of Thor's neck, but didn't anticipate him lunging forward and throwing his hammer underneath him. 

Riccardo saw the hammer coming towards him aiming for his chin and disappeared.

Thor looked to the side and saw Riccardo ready to punch him in the face, The Berserker raised his right hand and grabbed Riccardo's fist so he could disappear again, Riccardo tripped Thor right on the back of his foot, making him lose his balance. 

A shadow formed over Riccardo and it was the hammer coming towards him 

Riccardo disappeared again, getting within close distance of Thor. 

 " This fight is being very chaotic " Felipe did say anything about the fight.

 " The Boss is really showing off and not fighting to kill. But Thor is really learning his style has changed " Rodrigo changed his character, he was relaxed and changed to become a little more serious. 

 " But the Berserker didn't change his style of using the hammer, he still swings from side to side thinking he's going to kill the Boss " Jack still thought it was disgusting how Thor used his hammer. 

Felipe looked at the VIP area of the gods.

 " He is teleporting or moving too fast? " Ares leaned forward trying to understand how Riccardo is missing and reappearing out of nowhere.

 " He is teleporting but I don't feel any magical power although I'm not an expert I really don't feel any magical power coming from him " Hermes analyzed Riccardo's movements coldly and saw nothing that caught his attention. 

But Zeus raised one of his eyebrows he knew Riccardo wasn't using his speed. Zeus noted that Riccardo's speed and agility were less likely not because he was tired but because he was not using his maximum speed.

With both hands, Thor raised his hammer and began to concentrate a huge amount of electricity around it. Meanwhile, Riccardo continued to attack his legs and back

When Riccardo went to attack the penis and Thor the hammer charging with a lot of electricity which would leave Riccardo paralyzed and in a lot of pain.

Riccardo stopped his attack and jumped, spinning horizontally in the air, helping him gain distance. 

He fell Spider-Man style with one hand supporting himself. 

 Is now 

Riccardo stood up straight, jumped, and spun in the air. Between her index and middle fingers, a red rose appeared. She threw the rose.

Thor's instincts told him to dodge, then he turned around and the rose passed right by his face, he saw the rose passing.

 ' A flora? ' He said in his very confused mind.

But his reaction changed to shock when he saw the rose entering the wall with ridiculous ease. 

Then Riccardo began his attack throwing roses non-stop.

 " Riccardo is throwing out roses non-stop and Thor won't stop dodging, has he gone crazy? " Heimdall did not understand, why was Thor dodging roses.

 " Roses?/ Thor suffered a lot of damage to his head/ He went crazy?!/ Great! Another reason to humiliate our vanguard!/ Please tell me this is a joke/ This really is Odin's favorite son?/ Why didn't they send Tyr! " 

The gods were already feeling the taste of humiliation, The vanguard's front line was already being humiliated by the difference in strength but now Thor was dodging roses, there was worse humiliation than this? The ignorance of the gods knew no bounds to these things.

Empathy was not something known to the gods 

With each new rose thrown, Riccardo increased his speed, looking like a mini-gun shooting roses non-stop.

Riccardo advanced, jumping forward. He formed roses between his fingers and threw them as if they were ninja stars, one in each hand. Thor found himself cornered and so he made the wisest move to dodge and use his hammer as a shield to defend against the attack of roses.

Riccardo noticed the subtle change in Thor and he knew that Thor wouldn't just jump aside to dodge, he would jump to escape the roses, and Thor knew this. He had already aimed, knowing the trajectory of Thor's jump.

Thor jumped to the right, spinning his hammer at high speed, making it look like a shield. One rose hit the ground, while three others hit the arena wall. One rose was deflected by Thor's shield, while another pierced the armour on his left leg, reaching his flesh and making it go numb a rose brushed past her cheek while the others headed toward the grandstand this last one was the fault Thor that managed to redirect the last roses towards the stands on the side of the gods.

The roses surpass the powerful barrier, the few deviated from the roses letting them pierce their seats, but a Hindu god did not want to deviate because he found that rose insignificant.

He paid to see 

 " AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! " The god screamed in pain, rose pierced his hand and still left him nailed to the wall.

 " My hand is stuck! " Some colleagues of that Hindu god tried to help him remove his hand, which was stuck and dripping blood. 

Shiva's eyes widened, just being one of his own being hurt by a simple rose, his judgment changed again, his judgment had already changed when the rose had crossed the barrier said to be able to withstand to withstand the fury of the giants.

A barrier, said to be broken only by Atlas's most powerful blow capable of shaking all paradise, was overcome by a simple rose. 

 " Miss Aphrodite " One of the stone golems called out to its goddess who was unconsciously releasing her power, showing that she was angry. 

 " That rose " She felt enormous disgust. She looked at each rose outside the battlefield. She didn't know what was causing her so much hatred. Would it appear? Or the color of the rose? She didn't know that, only that somehow those roses cause her enormous hatred.

 " Azazel—!? " Gabriel called for Azazel but unfortunately he had already left his place and was as close to the battlefield as possible.

Sweat began to pour down his face from the exertion, he wanted to see it closer, he knew it was some Sacred gear his sense was warning him of this, it was actually screaming at him that there was some Sacred Gear.

 " But that is— " Sister Tessa looked at Riccardo's mother who didn't respond with words and yes nodded his head.

 " Sister, do you know what for your son "

 " I know perfectly well. But I don't know how much he improved that " Riccardo's mother replied to his sister/friend, she really didn't know how much Riccardo had improved his Sacred Gear.

 " There it is, Saint Riccardo's most dangerous weapon " Gabriel smiled as he saw his brother's most powerful weapon being revealed to the gods, who had already arrived and were causing physical and emotional damage.

The former members of the hero faction turned pale as a corpse while Cao-Cao smiled like a lunatic.

Brunhilde had a huge smile of nervousness and allergy at the same time, this was good and this was bad for her.

Riccardo managed to hurt and wounded a god but killing a god would be better, but he was still happy a spectacle sent Thor straight to the wall several times and her roses broke the barrier that used to hold the greatest of gods.

 " Let's go! killed this son of a bitch " She screamed loudly as Riccardo analyzed her situation. 

Thor was sweating coldly, he didn't know it but it was ridiculous, he was threatening with simple roses and one of them pierced his leg armor and left his leg numb. 

Riccardo was standing there looking at Thor, he noticed that the bleeding had stopped and this caught Riccardo's attention as Thor wasn't even dizzy from the blood loss. 

Thor began to spin with just one leg and creating a hurricane of pure electricity, Riccardo was really surprised by that, he hadn't seen it before the amount of electricity would certainly kill Riccardo but since he knew Thor's type.

Thor threw his hammer at indescribable speed 

Riccardo raised his left arm, pointing two fingers in the direction of the hammer. 

And the hammer stopped 

Still wrapped in electricity one false step and human being would be annihilated by the massive amount of electrical energy, even with his reinforced Touki he wouldn't be able to withstand that energy besides being injured he would certainly have another internal problem.

He pointed his arm to the side and put the hammer on the ground.

 ' I believe, I will have to use my old balance breaker to leave the arena minimally straight '

 We used too much force than necessary, we went beyond the limits. We are in an arena and not an open field 

 ' You're right ' 

Thor appeared before him while he was distracted, on the ground right behind a rose appeared on the ground and was thrown off the ground by air, Riccardo disappeared the moment Thor went to attack and he just punched the air and quickly turned around raising his arms to defend himself.

Riccardo threw a right kick, hitting Thor's forearm hard on the side, Thor quickly tried to grab Riccardo but he was faster and pointed his left hand as if it were a pistol and shot Thor's hand.

The rose pierced Thor's glove and he could no longer feel his arm, but he didn't give up and advanced and managed to grab Riccardo's head and quickly electrocuted him. 

Riccardo felt the electricity and force being applied to his head, he used his left arm and fired another rose one at Thor's arm who quickly widened his eyes.

Thor threw Riccardo away and began shaking his left arm fiercely. 

 ' It feels like there are demon ants inside my arm ' He lost feeling in his arm and then felt like his arm was being eaten from the inside out. 

Until Thor realized his mistake.

He looked ahead and saw that Riccardo was jumping around like a flea. His speed had already left humans on his planet speechless, but now he was running so fast that he was barely making a sound.

The world was still loading 

Thor looked down and saw Riccardo landing a powerful kick right in the middle of your chin throwing to up and Riccardo didn't stop, he ran to the edge of the arena and used the wall as support to jump towards the barrier.

Riccardo's mother had a meltdown when her son suddenly appeared in front of her and the others, he looked down and saw his mother and the convent sisters and waved to them before returning to his hunt. 

Riccardo looked like a popcorn ball that was thrown with great violence, attacking Thor from all sides and using the arena barrier as support to continue his attack, there were several attacks in various directions while Thor remained on the defensive.

Thor stood with his back to the arena while Riccardo was ready to deliver a deadly punch to the head, but Thor smiled, leaving Riccardo surprised. Then a lightning bolt struck, and Riccardo turned around, crossing his arms and covering himself with Touki. The lightning pushed Riccardo towards Thor, who grabbed his waist.

Thor started spinning really fast in a vertical direction, but he forgot one detail: that Riccardo had already performed that trick and had forgotten to hold his arms. Riccardo elbowed Thor in the face several times, making him let go of Riccardo before they reached the ground. 

The two took distance and fell in different places. 

Thor used lightning to slow down and close the distance and he landed near his hammer.

Riccardo fell far short of Thor in the greatest superhero style as Spider-Man.

Let's review the situation of the two fighters.

Thor was undoubtedly the one who suffered the most damage overall, he had a cut on his chest caused by cross dyurandaru and a slight cut on the belly, his back was the most affected as he had several cuts that closed, his legs received the second most damage in addition the leg armor was pierced, his shoulders were pierced.

He kept bending down holding the hammer with his right arm while he was panting head down this fight was the most intense fight he has ever had, but he needed to remember that this was also a lesson that Riccardo was giving him and he felt that there was someone resulting.

Let's not forget he was sent to the wall 4 times his morale is dropping.

Riccardo was the one who took the least physical damage, his biggest concern was the electricity and he was already feeling the effects on his body but it was already passing although if he could avoid it even more it would be very good.

Riccardo stood up and wiped the back of his right hand across his face, wiping away some of the dust. 

 " I... I... must admit * Breathe * You are strong " Thor took a deep breath but his body was still hurting.

 " Don't tell me " Riccardo said with very obvious sarcasm put his hands in his pants pocket.

 " You waste your strength on weak universe " Thor said angrily Riccardo's strength should be recognized but wasted in his universe that was considered weak.

 " Well, this is my job " Riccardo's statement fell like a nuclear bomb middle of all.

 " What? " Heimdall was the one who asked because the gods didn't understand that. 

 " I am Catholic, as a servant of God it is my job to help the poor souls that are lost in the darkness. This means that I have to fight not for the righteous but as I must fight for sinners. I was born into the weakest race in the universe, I have the power to govern everything... But I don't want " 

Power to government everything, saying this in front of the gods is considered a level of pride and arrogance never seen before.

 " Because every day of my life I remember a very good phrase. Who said many: men want to be God but the irony of it all just one God became a man. He came into a world full of sinners and died for them, why shouldn't I follow the man who died for the love of his own children? Although I am a faithful follower of God and spread his teachings I am not retarded "

I have a feeling this is going to be a problem.

 " If someone was promoting genocide and wants only death and destruction and shows no sign of repentance. I don't waste my time trying to convince this demon, I simply cut off his head, better dead than not causing trouble. Some idiot comes with a question to try to mess with my head. If I would kill millions to save billions " 

The famous phrase that tests the morals of many, seeing if the person is willing to kill an entire nation.

 " I wouldn't kill millions, I would kill those responsible for those millions going to war. The will of the rulers is often not the same as the will of the people but... "

Riccardo stopped and looked back, behind him was the side of the gods.

 " Some cases even the people themselves have no salvation " 

Riccardo turned his attention to Thor who saw his eyes turn red again but then returned to brown.

 " In this arena are gathered the worst in the entire history of the galaxy of tyrants, rapists, murderers, thieves, geniuses that true psychopaths have come who just want to see everything turn into chaos, cursed races that should be erased from existence! "

His anger was too great, your hate was genuine.

 " Even these same people used the name of my God and tarnished their reputation, these abominations entered the church and messed with the heads of the faithful, relativizing or even denigrating the meaning of forgiveness "

Forgiveness is a gift given to those who have committed sins a sign showing that all your sins have been forgotten but the consequences would still come.

A promiscuous woman said that if she regrets but continues to sleep with several people, this shows that it is not forgiveness. 

A man who slept with a woman before marriage but did not love her and got her pregnant before marriage, to show that he is sorry for doing such an act before marriage he must take responsibility for the woman and children to show that he is repentant.

 " Before every miserable being that is here. It is for them that I must fight, this is my duty, just as Christ died to protect his children I must fight for my universe, in the end this is my home "

Thor saw the eyes change again but this time he felt something was different, his eyes gave off a strange glow and a strange sound, his eyes changed starting from the largest part to the smallest.

 " So why should the fate of my universe be judged by beings whose only way to govern is through force and violence? Tell me the vanguard of gods what it's like to live in one's own hypocrisy? " Riccardo gave a truly sadistic and devilish smile.

 " I don't care " Thor returned the same smile " As long as you can fight, I don't care about anything, you are single that made my blood boil after so many years! "

The DxD universe was worried, Riccardo's words touched their hearts especially when he didn't accept killing millions for billions because who influenced these millions, Communism and Nazism manipulated the people to the point of making them came psychopaths.

Actions speak louder than words, that's a fact even for a hypocrite. 

Doing is better than saying 

Riccardo's actions spoke much louder than his words he has saved worlds, saved people and killed people. As a Catholic he wants everyone to come to the side of the light, came to God's side but when it's okay for him if the person did not accept God that does not cause harm to others, Good and evil exists in reality and between them also the various layer of gray.

But before Riccardo his opponent was not evil, he was a badly behaved child who when he became an adult was psychologically destroyed and now he was a maniac addicted to brutal fights.

He still had salvation but the question was whether he would accept it or fall into darkness to die. 

 " Come on boy no need to lose your life, just give up this ridiculous business, I can help you " Riccardo reached out to Thor as a Catholic should reach out to help others. 

 " No " Riccardo was disappointed how quickly Thor recovered helps.

 " I see " The same hand that Riccardo extended to help, now he passed his hand over his face which was visibly disappointed. 

 " I tried to help, If you want to throw your life away so badly throw something insignificant go away. But learned that from the beginning you never had any chance of defeating me " Riccardo crossed his arms and closed his eyes, his statement was strong caused a general shock, he doesn't care about anyone.

Arrogance? Maybe 

But he wouldn't waste his time trying to help someone who doesn't want to be helped. 

He declared all of this before several gods and powerful beings and he doesn't care. 

Can we call this ignorance? Maybe 

Thor prepared to get up but something caught his attention, the entire floor of the fighting arena was now covered in dark blue roses that caught his attention because it didn't do him any harm, which didn't make sense Riccardo's statement seemed like he was going to deliver the final blow.

 " After the strong statement of Saint Riccardo the floor of the battle arena was covered in blue roses, these beautiful roses are pretty but—what is this! " Heimdall had entered the arena and it was a very reckless thing to do because Riccardo's roses are dangerous. 

Riccardo had his eyes closed but he was inside his soul, he opened his eyes and saw roses, but he looked up and smiled. 

A shadow has appeared over Arena of Ragnarok, the first to notice were the DxD universe, but Riccardo's mother recognised it, as did some of the angels, some of the fallen angels, and some people with knowledge of this, including the dragon-slaying saint, Saint George.

Elmenhilde Karnstein, a pureblood vampire when she saw that, she got scared.

 " No " What she saw was something that had not been seen at least by supernatural beings since the war. 

Ares got up from his chair and put his body out of where he was and looked up and saw a moon.

But it wasn't just any moon, it was a blue moon.

This blue moon, something that is not very common in other realities. This one is talking about a blue moon, not a moon with a blue tone, but a real blue moon. 

Everyone had doubts about the appearance of that moon, the moon positioned itself in the center of the arena where its brightness spread throughout the arena.

Riccardo gave a big smile.

 " Long time no see! Old friend! "

The moon shines at Riccardo's call.
