[Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the reward—Authority—Divine Confusion—Frenzied God's Wine!]
"Oh? Not bad, not bad."
In the instant Su Yang opened and closed his eyes, the Copycat Eyes had already completed their evolution. If they had merely been ordinary Copycat Eyes before, then now they were equivalent to the Copycat Eyes of Formula Answerer's other half!
All sorts of abilities had risen, and there was no longer any danger of berserk loss of control.
"And then there's the Campione Authority... This is passable too, I suppose. Though I prefer using Magic Formulas, I don't dislike close combat either."
This Authority could be considered a berserk skill for oneself, or a restrictive skill against everyone.
[Divine Confusion, an Authority Tony usurped from the wine god "Dionysus." It could form a domain that caused magic, Curse Power, and even Authorities to go berserk and lose control. Its effect was enough to make even Tony's own Authorities go berserk. On the surface, it seemed to have very low practicality, but depending on how it was used, this Authority could become a terrifying trump card. Using this Authority could force an opponent into the pure blade-to-blade combat Tony excelled at most. It could be said to be Tony's ultimate move. Using the Authority required a long preparation time, but a small-scale effect could be used with only brief preparation.] [Note: While still conscious, one may freely enter and dispel the berserk state.]
Having reaped his benefits, Su Yang returned to the Occult Research Club with everyone, who were still too shocked to recover.
"Yang-kun, the bloodline within you... what exactly is it?"
After returning to the Occult Research Club, Rias finally could not hold back her question.
He was powerful to such an extent and had even taken Akeno's Super Thunder Strike head-on. What Hero's inheritor could possess such immense power?
"Hmm, I think it's fine to tell you, Rias."
Su Yang truly did not want to expose his true identity, so... it was necessary to create a fake one.
"What I inherited should be the power of The Great Hero Rama. The Rama from the epic Ramayana."
"The weapon I used earlier to contend with Kiba's demonic sword was the Blade of Salvation. And when I drove Heige back earlier, I used the weapons bestowed by Gods and Buddhas that were contained within the Blade of Salvation."
Of course, there were still many weapons Su Yang had not used.
The Blade of Salvation was an exceptional Noble Phantasm wielded by the young Rama. Its true form was all the divine weapons and sharp artifacts in the world and among the Gods and Buddhas, which he had obtained from the Brahmin sage Vishvamitra when Vishvamitra was still a Kshatriya.
These weapons took the form of various divine statues engraved upon the blade of the divine sword. Whenever Rama wished to use them, golden gates would unfold around him and launch these weapons forth.
Their destructive power surpassed even Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon!
The Vajra of Indra, Vishnu Chakra, Indra Chakra, Trident of Shiva, Brahma Shuriken, Vayu Shuriken, Dharma Lasso, Yama Lasso, Narayana Shuriken, Ganga's Pestle, Trident of Shiva, Trimurti Artifacts, and much more were all contained within!
It could be said that... even Su Yang did not know how many there were for the time being!
Moreover, every weapon carried a curse that negated immortality. Unless Rama was defeated, any wounds inflicted by these divine weapons would absolutely never heal!
For example, Rama's radiant ship Vimana, which served as his mount, was also stored within. Someone had previously claimed it was Gilgamesh's Vimana?!
What a joke. That was clearly his own Vimana!
Unfortunately, merely manifesting the Blade of Salvation was equivalent to using the power of the Rama Avatar.
"I suppose I understand now why Yang-kun is so powerful."
Akeno Himejima sighed.
The Great Hero Rama... was practically an existence beyond the rank of Hero. He was originally an incarnation of Vishnu, one of the Trimurti.
So-called modern overpowered protagonists were nothing before him.
One only had to look at Rama's feats. With a single arrow, he slew the Rakshasa Dhatraka, who possessed Thousand Elephants, and used "Manava" to shoot Rakshasa Maricha 100 Yojanas away.
He used Agni's Artifact to destroy Rakshasa Subahu, used Vayu's Artifact to wipe out the demon army disrupting a sacrifice, and snapped Shiva's Bow as easily as if it were a game.
He drew Vishnu's Bow and frightened off Parashurama, fired an arrow to the end of the universe... covered the sky with a rain of arrows to blot out the sun, plunging the world into darkness...
Like the final boss of the Campione world, The Last King was also Rama from a parallel world.
The so-called cheating Campiones were truly as fragile as chicks before Rama, who was practically a GM cheating through official privileges.
"I understand now why my sword was so brittle..." Yuto Kiba revealed a bitter smile.
The Great Hero Rama's divine weapons were artifacts that could rank among the greatest even in the world.
"Kiba, don't lose heart. I see tremendous potential in you. Your Sacred Gear has other possibilities—enormous possibilities. It has the potential to grant you the power to sever Holy Swords."
Su Yang looked at Kiba.
Kiba had the makings of a gay man... In the original story, he had even turned into a girl to visit Issei Hyoudou. It could only be said that it was rather terrifying.
But one thing was certain: he was absolutely loyal to his companions. He was someone who truly embodied the nature of his chess piece, "Knight."
"Hmm?"
At the mention of Holy Swords, a trace of coldness appeared in Yuto Kiba's eyes.
Of course, it was not directed at Su Yang, but at the Holy Swords themselves.
"Yang-kun? Did someone tell you about Kiba's past?" Rias asked in great confusion.
"No, I merely saw a few things from the future and the past. You can treat it as having received a revelation."
Su Yang could hardly say, "Well, based on the later plot, Kiba's demonic sword will evolve into a Holy Magic Sword?"
"In short, all you need to do is know that your Sacred Gear has other possibilities and keep working toward that direction."
Su Yang said with a smile.
The Sacred Gears invented by the God of the Bible and used by humans could sometimes display power surpassing their own limits, just as the current hosts of the Red Dragon Emperor and White Dragon Emperor, who were Two Heavenly Dragons, later surpassed them.
In truth, even if he did not know the plot, he could still see this.
[Prajna Realm] It symbolized the power Krishna possessed to see through the essence of all things, as he proclaimed himself the incarnation of the world and the one who understood all things in the universe. With a single glance, Krishna could perceive what living beings thought and the origins of all things. It also possessed the attributes of clairvoyance and brief future sight. From the perspective of mysticism, this could also be considered a special kind of Mystic Eye. Because it encompassed all things within, it could see through all things. This skill allowed Krishna to use his own wisdom to deduce what was, in fact, limited future sight, seeing the development of parallel time-spaces caused by different choices.]
