"Deliver something? Oh."
Sorata's eyes flickered slightly. He remembered what Rias had told him the day before yesterday morning about registering a legal supernatural identity for him.
Under the gazes of Shiina Mashiro and the other two, Sorata led Kiba Yuuto into his room, then closed the door, locking the three who wanted to follow him inside out.
After entering the room, Kiba Yuuto took out a palm-sized magic circle scroll and looked at Sorata with an inquiring gaze. After receiving Sorata's nod, he slapped it on the ground.
Buzz!!
The magic circle unique to the Occult Research Club on the scroll emitted a faint purple glow, then formed a soundproof barrier that enveloped the room, preventing their conversation from being overheard.
"Kanda-senpai, this is the identity certificate that Buchou applied for you from the Heaven Observation Association. This phone contains detailed information about the Heaven Observation Association and the things we need to pay attention to in front of ordinary people."
"At the same time, this phone has been modified with magic inscriptions. It must be activated by mental power binding, so you don't have to worry about others invading and probing secrets. It's also convenient for our club to contact each other usually."
"This type of modified phone was specially modified by Buchou to prevent any of us from being unable to contact each other when encountering danger in a barrier or in a dangerous area with no signal."
Kiba Yuuto took out an identity card with a black back engraved with mysterious cloud patterns and a matte white, streamlined high-end smartphone and handed them to Sorata.
"Heaven Observation Association?" Sorata's eyes flickered slightly. He didn't refuse and reached out to take the identity card and phone.
The so-called Heaven Observation Association was established by the first strongest in the human world, Emperor Xia Tianwu of Xia Country, and covered the whole world, divided into five major regions, as a management agency to deal with and monitor all supernatural creatures in the world.
That day, due to time constraints, Rias had only briefly mentioned it and hadn't gone into details. After receiving the phone, Sorata followed Kiba Yuuto's instructions and bound the phone with his mental power.
Ding! The black phone screen lit up, and a sexy succubus holding a trident popped up as the phone system began to initialize and load.
"Putting aside the modifications, this phone isn't cheap, is it?" Sorata asked, tossing the initializing phone in his hand and looking at Kiba Yuuto.
"This type of phone is a customized version of the latest model released this year by the Trident Mobile Phone Company owned by Buchou. The market price is 100,000 yen, plus the enchanting materials, it would be 5 million yen excluding labor costs," Kiba Yuuto explained.
Because the Japanese Emperor back then was very sensible and voluntarily submitted, although Japan was changed to an autonomous prefecture, most of the system remained as it was.
For example, the currency was still yen. One Xia Country currency was equivalent to about fifteen yen, which meant this phone was equivalent to more than 300,000 Xia Country currency?
"Five million yen," Sorata blinked, then looked down at his whole body, scanned his room, and suddenly realized that the most valuable thing he currently owned was the phone in his hand.
"Wait, how does Rias have a phone manufacturing company?" Sorata noticed at this moment that he didn't remember Rias having any company in the original work.
However, the history of this world had diverged three hundred years ago, so he wasn't very surprised that there were differences.
Kiba Yuuto: "Oh, this company was separated from the Gremory Group by the Duke, after Buchou came to the human world, because the Duke was worried that Buchou wouldn't have money to use. It's just a small company with a market value of 15 billion yen."
"Gremory Group, the company of a Duke's family in the Underworld?"
"Yes, the human world's Gremory Group was established more than a hundred years ago. It has developed to involve many industries and ranks fifty-first among the world's top 500 companies, with a market value of over 500 billion Xia Country currency," Kiba Yuuto patiently introduced to Sorata.
Sorata's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly asked, "Are there many such company groups backed by major forces like the Underworld and Heaven?"
"As expected of Kanda-senpai, you're indeed powerful. That's right, many of the current world's top 500 companies are owned by various major forces. For example, the thirtieth-ranked Holy Song Group belongs to Heaven, the forty-first-ranked Universal Light Group belongs to the Pure Land, and the eighth-ranked Immortal Goods Group is managed by the Eastern Heavenly Court."
"After all, how can company groups established by ordinary people in just a few decades compare to those operated by long-lived species that can live for hundreds or thousands of years? They were established in the early stages of the Industrial Revolution two hundred years ago, and they've already outlasted many others, not to mention the product advantages provided by various magic and immortal techniques."
"Under the management of various forces, these industry groups have slowly formed hegemonistic monopolies in many profitable industries. However, fortunately, out of consideration for the various strongest individuals, they haven't gone too far, just using these as footholds in the human world to facilitate their affairs."
"Moreover, there is no shortage of amazing geniuses among humans who have created multinational conglomerates from scratch in just a few years or decades, accounting for half of the total number."
"It seems that this world is more interesting than I imagined," Sorata said, smiling with his chin resting on his hand while sitting on the floor.
"Of course, Kanda-senpai, you will eventually stand at the pinnacle of the supernatural world," Kiba Yuuto looked at Sorata, a hint of admiration in his eyes.
After being defeated and severely injured by Sorata's unparalleled punch that day, Kiba Yuuto deeply respected and admired Sorata, who didn't have the arrogance of a powerful awakened being and was usually very easygoing in his words and actions.
"The pinnacle of the supernatural world! I'm not interested in that kind of thing," Sorata waved his hand dismissively. At this time, the phone had finished initializing and starting up, drawing his attention.
"As expected of Kanda-senpai," Kiba Yuuto nodded, looking at Sorata with admiration.
Following Kiba Yuuto's guidance, Sorata tapped an app on the phone that looked like a spiraling five-clawed golden dragon, the Heaven Observation Association website, and then entered his identity card number to register and activate it.
"The Heaven Observation Association is divided into five major regions worldwide, and each major region cooperates with the official management of the country it is located in. Provinces and cities are divided into various branch offices, and internally, it is further divided into two departments: the Supervision Department and the Suppression Department."
"The Supervision Department is responsible for constantly monitoring whether there are supernatural beings committing crimes, whether mutated creatures are causing damage, whether otherworldly creatures are sneaking in, registering and educating the otherworldly creatures that come, and handling the aftermath."
"The Suppression Department is the violent department that targets supernatural criminal incidents, suppressing and eliminating dangers. It is divided into internal and external. The internal members are all cultivators and esper powerhouses trained by the Heaven Observation Association."
"The external members are people like Buchou and us who have clean identities and clear origins, who take on tasks in a similar employment format. These people make up the majority, such as angels, devils, and powerful otherworldly creatures, cultivators, and espers."
"Buchou said that the identity of an awakened being is too sensitive, so the identity registered for you is esper, type: power, level: three stars. In the future, you can log in to the Heaven Observation Network at any time to learn about the latest happenings in the supernatural world."
"A three-star identity has permission to enter the official forum, the task section, and the transaction section."
"Oh right, I forgot to tell you, Senior. In order to facilitate the division of various cultivation systems and creature levels, the Heaven Observation Association has uniformly established four levels: one star, two stars, three stars, and four stars, and three ranks: Silver Moon, Ancient Moon, and Stellar, representing different strengths and permissions."
"These correspond to the Lower Devil, Middle Devil, Upper Devil, and Supreme Devil of the Underworld. Demon Lords belong to the Silver Moon rank, and I don't know the realms above that."
"I reincarnated as a High-ranking Devil, but my strength is only at the Upper Devil level, and my current permission is also three stars."
While Kiba Yuuto carefully explained, Sorata, as if playing a game, first registered himself with a strange yet domineering name: ?One Punch Invincible, But I'm Not Bald?, then clicked into the Heaven Observation official website.
