I've Always Wanted to See That Expression on Your Face

All parties on Itogami Island have certainly been paying close attention to this war.

Her failure will undoubtedly leave a profound mark on history.

"Still want to fight?"

Ren looked at the preoccupied Chaos Bride and wondered if his actions just now had made her question the meaning of life.

However, the two worlds are not on equal footing.

In the context of High School DxD, he is a top player, but there are still many powerful gods and Buddhas who can be on par with him, or even surpass him.

For example, there's the God of the Bible who has disappeared, and Shiva, who ranks second.

The one whose strength far surpasses his own is the Infinite Dragon God, the Great Red.

Not to mention the three evil gods in the neighboring EXE World, who kicked the Great Red into the roadside with a single kick.

In the world of High School DxD, anyone whose strength reaches or exceeds the Demon Lord level holds an overwhelming position.

Through the battle just now, he also thoroughly understood just how powerful the True Ancestor of this world was.

They start at the Demon Lord level, but at most they won't exceed the level of a Mid-Level Demon Lord.

If the Chaos Bride were to compete against Serafall, it probably wouldn't take many of those sister-obsessed demon kings for her to defeat the Chaos Bride.

After all, the true progenitor of vampires possessed strength primarily in his familiars, while the Demon King was powerful in all aspects of his own development.

Ren didn't think too much about it.

The idea of a cross-world debate had been widely discussed online before he transmigrated. He was only guessing based on his actual experience. If a real fight broke out, no one could say for sure whether the True Ancestor or the Demon King would win.

Of course, if it were Sirzechs or Ajuka, those two transcendent demon kings, there would be no need to speculate.

The result is obvious.

"The battle isn't over yet, and I haven't lost!"

Just then, Ren suddenly heard a roar.

The Chaos Bride's eyes were bloodshot, and her canine fangs were even more prominent.

Ren remained silent.

Anyone could see who won the battle, but she remained stubbornly oblivious.

But that's normal.

It's unacceptable for anyone to be so thoroughly defeated by a nobody who suddenly appears out of nowhere.

This is similar to a common trope in fantasy novels.

During the sect competition, the protagonist, who comes from a poor background, fights against a genius who is regarded as the sect's prodigy. After the prodigy is defeated in a few moves, the onlookers are shocked. The prodigy, enraged, uses a secret technique and is ultimately trampled underfoot by the protagonist, suffering endless humiliation.

The situation is similar now.

Moreover, it must be said that the sense of humiliation from defeat was clearly felt more deeply by the Chaos Bride.

At this moment, a blood-red whip appeared in the hand of the Chaos Bride. It was transformed from a summoned beast and looked extremely powerful.

Ren looked helpless, but his eyes quickly turned cold.

"Since that's the case, then we'll have no choice but to beat you to your knees."

Chapter 288 I've always wanted to see this expression on your face

The Chaos Bride wielded her blood-red whip with the force of a plantation owner whipping a black slave in the past.

Her close-combat skills are by no means weak; in fact, they could be considered the strongest among all demons, without a doubt.

However, after the whip was lashed out, Ren grabbed her and forcefully pulled her and the whip together.

The Chaos Bride was utterly astonished.

The long whip is not an ordinary weapon, but rather the embodiment of a familiar beast.

And Ren was able to pull her away in one swift motion—was this power truly human?

Are you a demon, or am I?

Ren showed no mercy, delivering a simple, unadorned hook punch directly to the face of the Chaos Bride.

As the saying goes, you shouldn't hit someone in the face, especially a woman.

The panicked Chaos Bride hurriedly stretched out her whip to protect her face, but unexpectedly Ren kicked her in the stomach, sending her flying backward.

The force of the blow nearly knocked the Chaos Bride unconscious. Saliva splattered from her mouth, and before she could react, Ren reappeared behind her, aiming at Chaos Bride neck and casting a "sleep spell" on her.

He knew that the vampire progenitor was physically powerful, so Ren did not hold back and raised his hand to deliver a dozen more sleeping spells.

Nangong Nayue, who was far away, and the high-ranking officials of the Itogami City, who were monitoring the scene via satellite, were all shocked by Ren's thunderous methods.

"Too brutal! The Third True Ancestor was completely powerless against him."

"Even though he's already incapacitated, he's still attacking."

"Do you think he might get carried away with the fight and take us down too?"

"..."

Final.

Under Ren's deliberate restraint in activating the "Sleep Spell," the Chaos Bride finally experienced a sleep like that of an infant.

He didn't stay where he was. With one hand, he carried the decent-quality dress worn by the Chaos Bride and flew back to the original spot, where he saw that Nangong Nayue was still standing there.

Normally, Nangong Nayue is taciturn and doesn't bother to say anything unnecessary except what she needs to say.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but exclaim, "She's the Third True Ancestor, is it really okay to be so ruthless?"

"If it weren't for me, she would have caused a lot of trouble for Itogami Island."

"Uh, just don't kill him."

Nangong Nayue felt a little embarrassed and immediately abandoned the last bit of pity in her heart.

Ren beckoned to Nangong Nayue, asking her to teleport back with him. Without a word, she activated a spatial teleportation spell.

The next second, the two people and the vampire reappeared in Nangong Nayue's house.

Nagisa Akatsuki and Yase Kanon sat on the sofa, hugging each other.

The explosion and tremors that had previously occurred on Itogami Island had given them quite a fright.

Despite their inner turmoil and eagerness to investigate, Liana and Veldiana, having received orders from Ren, could only stay by his side.

Aurora also looked timid.

The women then saw Ren and Nangong Nayue's figures in the teleportation array.

Of course, there was also someone being carried by Ren.

Aurora's expression faltered slightly, but then the liveliness in her eyes turned into excitement.

She was certainly aware of the battle that took place near Itogami Island.

Even though a thousand years had passed, the "The Original" still remembered the aura of the Third True Ancestor clearly.

But the magical energy that had been hovering over Itogami Island suddenly dissipated, and the state of the battle was unknown.

Seeing the Chaos Bride being carried by Ren like a beaten-to-death dog, the Original couldn't wait to take over Aurora's body.

"Hehehehehehe!"

A voice, laced with sarcasm and schadenfreude, came from Aurora's mouth.

Ren frowned.

What Soul Hall Elder?

He appeared in front of the Original in an instant and patted her on the back of the head.

"Be more reserved, don't act like a villain."

The Original glared at Ren, daring not to utter a word of anger.

"Sister, could the woman on the ground be...?"

Veldiana suddenly widened her eyes, completely unaware of Liana was frozen in place.

After recognizing the green-haired vampire, the two vampire sisters felt as if they had been hit on the head with a hammer, and with a loud thud, they were instantly in a bad mood.

Of course, I was also terrified.

After all, even a severely injured True Ancestor is still a True Ancestor, and has a natural bloodline suppression over them.

Moreover, the Third True Ancestor has been famous for a long time.

Having only lived for a few decades, they were like little babies in front of the vampire progenitors who were thousands of years old.

Ren didn't have anything to be proud of.

After all, there wasn't much of a task involved, yet they still put in so much effort.

Fortunately, before the battle began, he had a flash of inspiration and proposed a bet to take the Chaos Bride as his maid; otherwise, this whole effort would have been for nothing.

It's just a question of whether the woman will still acknowledge the terms of the bet after she wakes up.

Now, all we can do is wait for her to slowly wake up.

About ten minutes later, the Chaos Bride slowly woke up.

The True Ancestor of Vampires possesses unparalleled regenerative abilities, and besides, Ren did not use the Longinus to purify her body.

Therefore, when he woke up, his injuries had mostly healed.

Only the torn clothing testifies to what had happened.

When the Chaos Bride opened her eyes, she was not yet fully conscious.

She felt as if she had been having a very long nightmare.

Just then, a familiar face came into view.

Ren smiled and said to her, "You're finally awake! The surgery was a success. You're a lovely young lady now."

Upon hearing this, the Chaos Bride immediately became alert.

I quickly focused on feeling the changes in my body.

But then her expression froze, and she snapped, "I am a woman!"

"Looks like you have a good memory, so you should remember our bet, right?"

Ren chuckled softly.

"..."

The Chaos Bride fell silent, clearly knowing what Ren was talking about.

She wanted to fight back, but the thought of her swift and decisive defeat earlier instantly cooled her initial surge of passion.

Even if we did it again, the result would still be the same.

When Ren dealt with her first familiar, she put aside her contempt and then summoned more than ten familiars in one go, which was proof of her all-out effort.

Even after all the summoned beasts were destroyed, Ren still gave her a chance to fight him in close combat.

But the result was a crushing defeat.

The mighty progenitor of vampires was actually beaten unconscious.

If word gets out, it won't become a laughing stock for her; instead, it will only make Ren seem even more terrifying.

"I..."

Before she could even utter the words "I accept the consequences of my bet," a familiar face came into view of the Chaos Bride.

Long golden hair, fiery red eyes, and an exquisitely beautiful, youthful face.

Although the twelve avatars look identical, Aurora's dominant personality at this moment is the Original Fourth Progenitor, and the Chaos Bride can see right through them.

The confidence and sarcasm in the girl's eyes are no different from those created a thousand years ago.

"You..."
