I'm Done Pretending-Here's the Truth / These Days, Nobody Believes the Truth

In the original work...

Ophis was later captured by the Hero Faction and pierced in two by the poison of Ophis the Dragon Eater Samael.

One is the original Ophis, while the other has taken half of the power of the Infinite Dragon God and become a little girl with the same appearance as Ophis. She was named "Lilith" by Lizevim and taken away.

Now that he has him by his side, Ren naturally won't let such a thing happen again.

After listening to Ren speak, Ophis nodded, while Ren thought that the little girl probably hadn't heard what he was saying at all.

After nodding, she lowered her eyes and stared at the screen.

"Walk?"

"Good."

Despite this, Ophis remained unmoved. Ren stepped forward and saw that the screen was playing the entire series of Pleasant Goat.

When did he put that thing in?

Chapter 257 No More Pretending, Laying the Truth Out

After that, Ren, along with Ophis and Valerie, traveled all the way from Romania back to the island nation of Kyoto.

Because of the time difference, it was a little after nine o'clock in the morning when we returned to Kyoto.

As one of the most important cities in the island nation, the streets are bustling with traffic and people, with vendors' cries, laughter, and the sounds of traffic blending together.

The shopping district was bustling with people, and the shop windows were filled with a dazzling array of goods. The fighting of the past few days had not affected the daily life; the atmosphere of prosperity, mixed with the vibrancy of everyday life, permeated the entire city.

Valerie stared blankly at the bustling traffic, lost in thought.

Sunlight streamed through the rows of buildings, bathing everything in a golden glow.

Valerie never imagined that one day she would stand in the sun like an ordinary person.

The sentimental girl was moved to tears once again.

But before Ren could speak, Valerie suddenly lunged forward.

If Ren hadn't reacted quickly, he probably would have fallen face-first into the mud on the spot.

"?"

"I... I don't know what happened, I suddenly feel a little dizzy, and my body feels weak."

Valerie was mostly unharmed, but she felt a little awkward being held in Ren's arms.

Hypoglycemia?

It doesn't seem like it.

However, Ren quickly guessed the answer.

"You are, after all, a vampire. You haven't seen the sun for almost twenty years, so it's normal for you to feel weak and powerless after being exposed to the sun all of a sudden."

He took a regular parasol out of his storage space and handed it to her.

"From now on, just bring an umbrella when you go out. As a mixed-race person, you should get used to living in the sun in no time."

"Thanks."

Valerie nodded sheepishly.

I made a fool of myself as soon as I arrived here, but luckily I don't know anyone here.

Ren nodded, then led them straight to the Himejima Family.

He was greeted by Jeanne, who was doing her morning exercise.

When Ren returned, the girl raised her hand to greet him before getting to the point, "How's the situation with the vampires?"

"Perfectly resolved."

"How will this be resolved? What are the specific details?"

"What other solution is there? Of course, it's to eliminate them all..."

Ren made a throat-slitting gesture.

"?"

Jeanne's expression changed drastically.

After all, she had been on several missions with Ren and knew his style of doing things very well.

"You didn't kill them all, did you?!"

"No, there's one left."

"Is there any difference between that and solving it all?"

Jeanne grinned. She had considered the possibility of Ren acting impulsively, but she hadn't expected Ren to act this impulsively.

If the other side were terrorists, that would be one thing, but the Tepes Government is, after all, a legitimate government, an internationally recognized vampire state.

Ren single-handedly charged in and wiped out the vampires and their home base. If word got out, it would definitely have a very serious impact.

Seeing Jeanne's increasingly agitated state, Ren found it somewhat amusing.

He shook his head and said, "The situation over there isn't as simple as you think."

Ren didn't plan to reveal anything about Lizevim anyway, since the information would spread soon enough.

Seeing Ren' confidence, Jeanne could only calm her uneasy heart and turn to look at the two girls behind him, her curiosity about them evident.

Hello.

Valerie gave a slight, somewhat timid bow.

This was, after all, her first time meeting outsiders.

"Hello."

Jeanne nodded; she sensed a faint vampire aura emanating from the girl.

Although it's unclear what happened, given Ren's lecherous nature, this must be the woman he brought back.

Tsk, I should have gone with Ren back then.

Ophis, standing nearby, followed suit and bowed to Jeanne, though not quite correctly, and his greeting was rather cold.

"Hmm? Why does this child look a little familiar?"

Jeanne frowned slightly.

The face of the girl with long, straight black hair in front of her looked extremely familiar, as if she had seen her before, but wasn't very familiar with her.

But somehow, Jeanne always seemed to fall just short of remembering.

"Ophis."

Ophis said calmly.

"I know you; you're with Cao Cao."

How do you know about Cao Cao?

Jeanne froze for a moment, but then her expression turned as if she had seen something extremely terrifying. She looked like Psyduck with its neck being choked, pointing at Ophis, her mouth agape, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

"You, Ophis... I, I..."

"Infinite Dragon God! What are you doing here?!"

The sound, almost a scream, reverberated throughout the entire Himejima Family.

Five minutes later.

The people who had been summoned because of Jeanne's screams gasped in shock upon learning Ophis's identity, and thus made their own contribution to global warming.

"Speaking of which, who is Ophis?"

Minagawa Natsume looked curiously at the long-haired, black-haired loli next to Ren.

How come even Suzaku Himejima and the princess of the Underworld were startled when they heard this name?

"Ophis, is a dragon with infinite power and is also the strongest in the world."

Lavinia silently revealed the information she knew.

"The Khaos Brigade has always portrayed her as their leader. The Hero Faction, which attacked the Five Great Houses, was also a subordinate organization of the Khaos Brigade, and their leader was Ophis."

"Wait, you're confusing me. If Ophis is the leader of the terrorists, then why is he here? And his relationship with Ren... seems pretty good."

Minagawa Natsume glanced at Ophis was taking the snacks from Ren's hand.

This little girl looks quite ordinary no matter how you look at her.

Just then, Ophis suddenly raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Minagawa Natsume.

In that instant, the independent Sacred Gear Griffin standing on the girl's shoulder and the Sacred Gear Taotie in Nanataki Shiguko's arms whimpered like frightened puppies.

"Hey? Griffin, what's wrong with you?"

"Xiao Bo was very scared."

Ophis calmly replied, "The Four Fiends Sacred Gears... I never imagined they'd become so weak, completely lacking their former power."

Based on this performance.

Everyone had no choice but to believe Ophis's identity as the strongest dragon.

After all, there has never been anything that could instill such fear in the Four Fiends with just a glance.

After things calmed down, Suzaku Himejima was even more surprised and suspicious. "So what is the strongest dragon god doing in Kyoto?"

"Could it be that they intend to destroy the Five Great Houses?!"

"Hiss~~~"

The girls gasped again.

"Really."

Ren nodded with a serious expression.

"I met Ophis on the way. She coerced me into taking her to Kyoto, intending to destroy the entire Kyoto to get revenge."

Upon hearing this, all the girls except for Ren and Valerie turned pale.

Suzaku Himejima, in particular, looked as if the sky had fallen.

She had never been afraid of Cao Cao, the Khaos Brigade, or the cadres among the Grigori, but now she was truly afraid.

However, Lavinia quickly noticed something was wrong. She poked Ren's face with her finger. "Stop joking around, you're scaring them."

"Okay, I'll come clean. I was lying earlier. Ophis is now my pet."

Ren shrugged.

Chapter 258 These days, nobody believes you when you tell the truth.

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at Ren with the same kind of pity one would show for a fool.

Even Lavinia and Asia were no exception.

"Asia, can your Sacred Gear cure brain diseases?"

"I... I don't know either, but I'll try my best to get Mr. Ren back to health!"

"Ren, to be honest, you could have used a different reason."

Although it wasn't that they didn't trust Ren, after confirming Ophis's backing, they could no longer think that way.

Ophis, is the strongest dragon in the world, and even the vanished God of the Bible is wary of him.

Even a great god like Ophis couldn't be tamed, so how could anyone else possibly do it?

They weren't deliberately mocking Ren; it was simply because their status and position were completely unequal.
