Cao Cao, who thought that he could run away safely due to Indra's involvement, saw despair once again. At this moment, his body was extremely weak as every energy and even his lifespan was absorbed into the "Truth Idea." Moreover, he was disabled as he had lost one of his arms and one of his legs due to his fight against Riser.
Was he going to die?
Like this?
When Cao Cao thought that everything was about to end, Sun Wukong stood before him and protected him.
"RUN! I CAN'T DEFEAT HIM!"
A Chinese dragon, who happened to be Yun-Long, the youngest Dragon King, was already filled with fear and wished to run away, but before he ran away, he swept over Cao Cao and brought him away along with the others.
Meanwhile, Sun Wukong faced Riser, trying to stop him.
"Lucifer-sama, are you sure that you want to do this? You are going to make the entire Chinese Myth and the Hindu Myth into your enemies! Do you want to have a war against us?!"
Unlike his previous arrogance, Sun Wukong was solemn and even had a cold sweat as he knew how strong Riser was. Previously, there might have been contempt as he looked down on this young Lucifer, but while he didn't believe that Riser could defeat the Great Red, the fact that Riser could return safely and became even stronger, especially after he brutally punched down Hades, was the fact!
While Sun Wukong was famous for being so lawless that he was even trapped under a mountain and tortured in many ways, he still knew how he should provoke or not. Nevertheless, he didn't feel scared since it was impossible for him to die.
Even Buddha and Indra couldn't kill him, so Sun Wukong didn't think that Riser could kill him, but he knew that it was impossible for him to defeat Riser.
"That seems interesting."
Riser thought that he might as well come to fight the Chinese myth and the Hindu myth so that no one could fight him again.
"?!"
Sun Wukong felt that his entire body was tense, and he quickly tried to defend, but he couldn't.
The silver edge flashed, and then a head rolled onto the ground.
Sun Wukong died.
Just like that.
That famous monkey king in the story of The Journey to the West was unable to do anything against him.
Everyone, including Yun Long, Cao Cao, and the others who ran away, saw everything. Fortunately, Cao Cao learned his lesson, and he didn't talk about anything to Riser. He only urged Georg to use the "Dimensional Lost" as soon as possible so they could run away, but it was too late.
Riser pointed his finger, and a beam of light was about to pierce Cao Cao.
Only suddenly, everything stopped. No one moved as if they were frozen, including his beam of light.
However, Riser wasn't affected by this power.
"Time manipulation?"
His expression became strange; then he saw a burly figure appear near Cao Cao and the others as they were able to run away.
"Who is that?"
Riser was confused, wondering whether there was an existence whose power was time manipulation among all supernatural beings in the world. Still, this power didn't seem able to affect him, and he could tell that individual was weaker than him but stronger than anyone who was standing behind him. Yet, even so, he didn't underestimate this individual since he could tell that this individual was quite wary.
Soon, when that burly figure, Cao Cao, and their group disappeared, the time moved once again.
However, before they left, Cao Cao's expression was that of disbelief since the True Longinus on his hand had disappeared.
Riser knew that he couldn't kill them, but it didn't mean he couldn't make them in misery. Using the power of "Kote Kote no Mi," he took control over the True Longinus and subdued the will of God that dwelled inside this strongest Longinus.
Was it an intense fight?
Not really.
Riser used the power of "Villain" and "Haoshoku Haki" to dominate the will of God, conquering the True Longinus. Holding the strongest Longinus in his hands, he thought that he really had become the strongest being in the world. However, he kept this matter a secret and had been using the "Area of Invisibility" on the True Longinus so no one could see it.
"What's wrong?"
"Riser-sama, is this the Canis Lykaon?"
Being dumb meant that Xenovia never thought too much, but it also gave her an advantage as it meant that she wouldn't be afraid of most of the things.
"Yes." Riser nodded helplessly.
"Woof! Woof!"
Kuro (the new name of the Canis Lykaon given by Riser) was friendly and smiled at Xenovia.
"How cute~!"
"Wait, this isn't the time for this!" Irina quickly slapped Xenovia's head, then looked at Riser. "Is this over, Riser-sama?"
Everyone was waiting for Riser's answer.
"No, this isn't over yet." Riser shook his head and said, "The Chinese myth and the Hindu myth have colluded with the Khaos Brigade." He then looked at Serafall firmly and said, "Tell them that I am going to come to their place in a day. If they can't give me an explanation, then I will destroy them."
"..." Everyone.
"Are we going to have a war, Riser-chan?" Serafall asked in a daze since everything was so fast that she thought that everything was a dream.
"They have killed Azazel, and I won't let them go." Riser then looked at everyone and said, "You don't need to go. I will go there by myself and destroy those two myths."
"Huh?" Everyone became even more confused.
"Serafall, I leave the rest to you. Just tell them that. I will leave for an hour."
Then, suddenly, Riser disappeared, leaving everyone in bewilderment.
Were they really going to war?
---
"So, did Azazel die?"
Ajuka, who was in his research place on the human world, stopped reading his book and looked up.
"He was killed by the leader of the Hero Faction, Cao Cao."
"I see..." Ajuka nodded as he let out a helpless sigh. "That's a shame."
"You don't need to worry. You will follow him."
"You sure have the confidence to kill me, Riser." Ajuka saw a blurry figure whose identity was impossible to tell, but he knew damn well who this was even though this figure was holding the True Longinus in his hands.
"Whatever."
Ajuka tried to fight, but in the end, there was no resistance. He was killed, that's it. Still, whatever the methods he had made, everything was meaningless since Riser was too strong.
Like Azazel and Sirzech, he didn't expect his end to be like this.
The figure didn't bother to say anything and just left after he created a bigger explosion in the area.
As for leaving any evidence?
Riser had a "Perfect Crime" ability that was able to erase all the evidence that he was related to the killing of Ajuka. While it might not help much in the fight, it could even alter the reality of erasing all of the traces that he had committed all of this crime.
Still, after he put True Longinus into his storage space, Riser stretched his hands, feeling so comfortable since he knew that the peace he longed for was coming.
"Oh, right!"
He forgot that he needed to destroy the Chinese Myth and the Hindu myth first before he achieved his peace.
"Well, there is still a day."
So, before the war, let's just enjoy life first.
