In the other timeline, Hyoudou had shattered the Scale Mail of the White Dragon Emperor and wielder of Divine Dividing, Vali Lucifer. And through stealing one of the gems that were left behind by the broken Sacred Gear for all of a moment, Hyoudou was able to steal part of the Divine Dividing's power.
At great cost to himself mind you, because Divine Dividing and Boosted Gear were complete opposites.
His Twice Critical though, his original un-mutated Twice Critical, was a completely different matter though. It after all, was simply a weaker version of the Boosted Gear, and was made from Ddraig's body.
And Ddraig had even said it himself, Kaito had inherited his flesh.
He should have a massive compatibility with a part of the Boosted Gear.
All that left, was the desire to make it work. Sacred Gears responded to the wishes, emotions and desire of the user.
'I can't deny it.' he thought, eyeing the gem as if transfixed.
Perhaps it was his true nature all along?
Power.
He wanted it.
He always had.
From the very beginning when he chose his path as a child, he'd vowed to become the best. To become self sufficient, rich, famous, powerful. He'd vowed to become the best football player in the world and make his name echo through the hall of fame for all time.
The addition of his other selves soul, memories, his very life and how he lived. Had merely brought what was already there to the true surface.
Perhaps that was why he was born with a dragon based Sacred Gear in the first place.
He was more greedy than anyone else.
Now that he'd taken to a higher stage. Why should he not aim for the apex? To become the very best.
Like no one ever was.
"I laugh before the infinite and chase after the dream." almost instinctually the words slipped from his mouth. And something, rushed through him, making his hair stand on end and a shudder run down his spine.
It was Ddraig's juggernaut drive chant.
Only a little different.
It started from Ddraig's, and then it became his own.
What did it mean though?
He'd felt something change as he spoke it. But, he didn't know what. He didn't even really feel different either, the feeling had already passed.
But…he kind of felt like he'd passed a milestone of some sort?
That left only one thing for him to do.
He held up the hand holding the glimmering green gem from the Boosted Gear, and in a flash of light a familiar ebony black and golden gauntlet formed around his arm as his Twice Critical appeared.
'I'll taking this power as well!' Kaito declared with a mental roar, his fingers clasping around the gem once more forming a fist.
He drew deep on the fragment of Ddraig's power within the Twice Critical, the golden gem on his gauntlet lighting up with blinding power. Beams of green shone from between his fingers, before gold overcame it.
"Oooooooh!" Kaito felt a roar leave his lips, his dragon aura bursting into existence around his body almost instinctually and compressing around his arm like armour, or a glove.
Pushing, pushing and pushing.
Compressing, crushing, crashing.
Devouring.
And then it happened.
The gem disappeared, the weight of it fading away as it was subsumed within his original Twice Critical.
And something clicked.
Golden light burst into existence around his left arm as a second gauntlet identical to the first formed. it was like his other Twice Critical returned to its original form before mutating.
But that wasn't it.
He could feel it.
A connection between his original Twice Critical and this one appearing on his left hand.
They were the same.
They were both his original Twice Critical. His Twice Critical had evolved, becoming another subspecies.
"Boost!"
"Boost!"
Ddraig's voice echoed from both gauntlets.
Twin boosts.
With his wings, that brought his total boosts right now up to three.
But that wasn't all.
Instinctually, he could feel something else. Another power. Another ability. More than one actually.
Two.
He could hear their names whispering in his ear. Slotting into his brain. It was like remembering something after a long time and having a realisation.
An epiphany.
Penetrate.
And-
"Let me try this out," Kaito grinned and held his hand up, pointing it at Asia, "Transfer." he commanded.
Light erupted from his gauntlet and washed over Asia, covering her in an aura of light, and the green magical aura of her Twilight Healing, swelled massively in size.
'Interesting.' he noted idly. He felt much of the power he'd boosted with, disappear as it was transferred.
Maybe about eighty percent of it?
A sudden moan broke him from his thoughts and he looked over just in time to see Asia tilt her head back, and a euphoric moan erupt from her pretty little lips that would have given Akeno's from last night a rival, her cheeks flushing a dark red, "Ah~ Why do I feel so good?" she panted out, pulling her hands away from Hyoudou and running her hands frantically over her body.
…Oh, wait.
He'd just transferred his power to her.
Power of his that had been doubled twice.
An amount of power that thanks to him becoming a devil and then taking in the King Piece, and with those boosts-
Would be if not on the Ultimate Class level, nearly there.
The standard power ranking that actual gods lay on.
And he'd just transferred that to a girl who had never even come close to such power in her life and actually by his estimates, was around Irina's level magic wise.
Meaning, he'd given her access to more than ten times that of the power she actually had.
…Oops?
