The Hero Faction Arrives: Cao Cao / A Conversation with Cao Cao

After transcending the Eight Seals, "Excalibur" is no longer a Noble Phantasm.

Rather, it was a holy sword of light forged by the planet to punish evil.

Just like the "Rhongomyniad" which breaks more than seven seals, it is Pillar of Light that sustains the era.

Although there is only a one-word difference between the Eight Paths and the Nine Paths, the gap between them is truly worlds apart.

With the Nine Seals, "Excalibur" unleashed its innate, divine power to suppress evil.

Fenrir, which had been opening its blood-red maw to bite the human who had stepped on its head in two, suddenly narrowed its ferocious beastly eyes.

Immediately afterwards, they were completely submerged by Golden Torrent that resembled a tsunami.

The golden light, so vast and dazzling as to rival the Sun, poured down like a torrent, completely engulfing the battlefield.

Soil, sand, and even space itself were dissolved in the ineffable golden light.

Numerous black cracks appeared in the space, emanating sharp spatial elements.

The foundation was sinking at a visible rate, but the sea formed by the golden light never lowered its water level.

The entire space was shaking violently, as if it could not withstand the pressure.

This caused Ajuka Beelzebub, the person who created this space, to change his expression slightly. His usually cold and serious face couldn't help but reveal a deep sense of solemnity.

Destroying an alternate dimension is nothing; these alternate dimensions with defined boundaries are something that even beings like them, who transcend to a higher level, could accomplish.

What weighed heavily on him was that sacred power.

Even through the screen, it made his blood boil.

If I were on the field, I would definitely feel a huge threat.

This demonstrates the power of elemental advantage!

Even a transcendent being like Ajuka Beelzebub could not ignore the brilliance of "Excalibur".

Not to mention Loki, who was on the battlefield.

Not to mention Loki, who was on the battlefield.

Looking at the Golden Torrent that resembled a tsunami, a power that was more than enough to kill him, Loki's heart was already trembling with shock.

Especially when he saw his "son" being submerged by the Golden Torrent once again, with the golden sea below turning the land into liquid and even the fog being evaporated by the terrifyingly high temperature.

Her face was deathly pale, and she no longer had any confidence that her "son" would be safe and sound as before.

Arthur's kick earlier, though powerful enough to instantly kill even the highest-ranking demon.

But for Fenrir, it's nothing; even if Loki took it head-on, he would only suffer minor injuries.

However, compared to the Golden Torrent that had previously broken the Seven Seals, this Golden Torrent was far more powerful.

"Damn it... why haven't those guys arrived yet?" Loki slowly backed away, and finally, a look of anxiety appeared on his face.

· ·······Requesting flowers··· ···

As a deity, he could not possibly be a fool.

Although he was very confident in his "son," he was not arrogant enough to think he could defeat Odin alone. He also needed the combined strength of Beelzebub, Lucifer, Azazel, and Michael, the strongest beings standing at the pinnacle of the world.

So when Loki was imprisoned on this battlefield, in addition to looking for loopholes, he had already contacted the "Khaos Brigade," with whom he had established a cooperative relationship.

They thought Sirzechs and his men were just sending a human to die, but it turns out they sent a ruthless one.

Moreover, a group of top-tier experts were eyeing him from behind, so Loki couldn't help but feel anxious.

At this moment, the "water level" of the sea formed by the golden light below gradually decreased.

Much later, when the Golden Torrent had completely dissipated.

The battlefield that appeared was now in ruins.

Originally, it was a battlefield with continuous cliffs and towering rocks, perfect for training chase battles. But those towering rocks and cliffs have all turned into lava. The hard ground is now a crimson red, with bubbling lava everywhere.

A single "Excalibur" shot completely altered the appearance of the foundation.

Moreover, the area covered is so vast that it seems to stretch as far as the eye can see.

This is the power of "Excalibur" that breaks the Nine Seals.

Fenrir, having been hit head-on by "Excalibur," is now in a truly miserable state.

Its black and white fur had become completely bald, its body was covered in burns, and there were several deep sword marks, as if it had been cut by some high-temperature weapon, bubbling with lava.

To Arthur's surprise, he was directly overwhelmed by "Excalibur," a divine power that was his own type advantage.

Fenrir is still alive!

However, judging from its aura, it was also facing imminent death; they were almost both dead.

Chapter 466 The Hero Faction Arrives, Cao Cao

"Ding! You have won this battle..."

"Now you--"

With the system notification in his mind, Arthur, having confirmed that Fenrir was powerless to fight, finally turned his gaze to Loki.

"--Boost (Multiply)--"

The Mana he had just used to unleash "Excalibur," which had released the Nine Seals, had been mostly depleted. However, the moment the system notification and Ddraig's voice rang out, his mana quickly returned to full and continued to surge.

However, Arthur knew that this maximum value was only temporary.

Ddraig's "Boost" is only temporary. If he withdraws "Red Dragon Emperor's Royal Frame," the surge in Mana will dissipate, leaving only the Mana restored by the system's enhancement.

But that's enough!

Seeing Loki's grim face, Arthur had lost all interest in continuing the fight.

Then Arthur raised Excalibur once more, his navy blue cloak billowing without wind, golden light swirling around him, and cried out, "Sa... God, fall!"

"Call out--"

Just as Arthur was about to unleash another "Excalibur," he suddenly heard a whooshing sound.

On the lower left, a laser beam, also formed of the power of light, shot into the sky.

The laser beam seemed to be aimed directly at Arthur, slicing through the air at incredible speed.

This scene caused Arthur to pause slightly, and he had no choice but to put down Excalibur and step back a distance to avoid the laser attack.

However, in return, the Mana within his body, which had been amplified by the "Red Dragon Emperor's Royal Phoenix," was completely dissipated.

Below, on the land that had turned into a zone of lava, stood several figures.

Beneath their feet was a mist that shielded them from the intense heat of the magma zone, making it feel as if they were standing in another dimension.

However, the figure at the head of the group slowly dissipated Arthur's displeasure at being interrupted.

The group of figures was led by a man.

He wore an ancient Chinese robe, had thick black hair, and exuded a dignified and composed kingly aura. He held a long spear on his shoulder in his right hand.

The spear, entirely blue with two golden whips encircling it, had a tip that gleamed with a sky-blue light even when not in use, as if it contained supreme power capable of piercing through everything in the world.

This gun is none other than Arthur's "main quest" weapon, and also the first and strongest of the thirteen "Longinus" in this world—the "Twilight's Holy Lance".

That man was Cao Cao, the Hero Faction of the "Khaos Brigade" and a direct descendant of the Three Kingdoms period in China, a hero who inherited his ancestor's name.

Standing beside him were three other people and a Monster.

Standing beside him were three other people and a Monster.

On the left is a child with silver hair, and in front of him is a gigantic Monster.

His name is Leonardo, and he is the owner of the "Annihilation Maker," one of the thirteen "Longinus," which is said to possess the power to destroy the world.

To Cao Cao's right was a man with silver hair, dressed in noble and luxurious clothes.

Like Cao Cao, he was a descendant of heroes who inherited the name of their ancestor— Siegfried.

Beside Siegfried was someone Arthur knew very well.

The current and strongest "White Dragon Emperor" in history - Vali Lucifer.

"Hey... it seems we have some really important guests!"

Seeing the four appear, Azazel, who was watching this scene through the light screen, couldn't help but look at Ajuka Beelzebub, who was frowning, and said, "Your space was entered so easily?"

"That's another dimension..." However, Ajuka Beelzebub's answer surprised everyone present. Staring at the mist beneath Cao Cao and the others' feet, he said in a deep voice, "It's a dimension created by the power of the Sacred Gear..."

"Hey... this can't be..." Upon hearing his words, everyone present couldn't help but think of a Sacred Gear Longinus, and one with an extremely powerful origin.

It is precisely one of the thirteen "Longinus"—"Dimension Lost" (meaning "Mist of Annihilation").

"Do you remember that gun?" Odin suddenly asked, pointing at Cao Cao on the screen.

"..."

Upon hearing his words, everyone's gaze fell upon the long spear that Cao Cao was carrying.

"Could it be..." Sirzechs's eyes widened slightly.

Azazel also said with a solemn expression, "That's right... Even though there's a light barrier between us, I can still sense that old man's presence."

As the governor who is the "God's Child Monitor," it is self-evident who the old man Azazel is referring to.

"Legend says it assassinated Jesus, the Son of God, and thus became known as the first and strongest Longinus Twilight's Holy Lance..." Rias murmured softly, then her expression changed drastically as she exclaimed, "Oh no, Arthur...!"

"It seems we need to get involved." Michael slowly stood up and said softly.

"Ah... we can't just sit idly by." Azazel said with a slight smile, "I didn't expect the Norse god of evil to have such influence, actually sending so many Monsters from the Khaos Brigade to rescue him."

"Wait a minute..." Odin suddenly interrupted, "Loki doesn't have that much influence."

"Odin, you mean..." Sirzechs paused for a moment, then his expression changed slightly as if he had realized something.

Odin stroked his beard, staring at the light screen, and said in a deep voice, "If I'm not mistaken, these people up there are not only the owners of the Longinus, but also..."

"A descendant of a hero!" Azazel caught up with Odin's words, scratching his head and sighing, "So it wasn't that the Norse evil god who had the most influence, but rather that 'King of Knights' who crossed over from another realm."

Chapter 467 Conversation with Cao Cao

"Hello, the legendary 'King of Knights' who has crossed over from another realm!" Cao Cao, carrying the "Twilight's Holy Lance," first sized up Arthur's appearance, then glanced at his silver-blue armor, dark blue robe, and cloak, before finally fixing his gaze on the magnificent Excalibur. He smiled gently and said, "The legendary 'Holy Sword Excalibur,' that divine radiance is indeed real. It seems the rumors are true as well."

"Greetings once again, Your Majesty, King of Knights!" Cao Cao smiled and nodded, displaying neither arrogance nor the air of a king.

Upon hearing this, Arthur, who was high in the sky, smiled slightly.

Cao Cao's appearance caused him to completely lose interest in Loki.

Then, he slowly descended from the sky.

"--I am the strongest, to seize all victories. Man and demon, fallen angels and gods—all enemies, I will defeat all those who are hostile, therefore I will break through all obstacles in my way! World, turn for me, open the battlefield of great achievements, and present the victory that is within reach!--"

"Whoosh--"

The Word of Power words representing the "Victory's Golden World" arrogantly resounded throughout the heavens.

A golden light shield instantly emanated from Arthur's body and spread to the battlefield in an instant.

In the next instant, Sirzechs and the others in the study, who were watching the battlefield using some kind of technology, could clearly see that Arthur, Loki, Fenrir who had lost his fighting ability, and the leaders of the Hero Faction had all vanished into thin air.

"That ability must be from another dimension, right?" Azazel asked, stroking his chin thoughtfully as he looked at Rias.

"It seems they've all changed battlefields." Sirzechs nodded and said softly, "We can't even intervene now; we can only wait and see how the battle unfolds."

"What a pity..."

A sigh filled with regret echoed in the study.

"The Victory's Golden World," a dreamlike and beautiful golden battlefield filled with an epic atmosphere.

Rocks stand tall, dotted with stars.
