In the hall, Tenraku and the girls were enjoying some tea. These past few days, everyone had been on high alert due to the Khaos Brigade, so it was necessary to relax from time to time.
However, suddenly, a sense of unease swept over them, filling them with a feeling of discomfort. The air around them changed in an instant.
"Tenraku!"
"Lord Tenraku!"
Naturally, Rias and the others also sensed something was off, and they immediately gathered around Tenraku.
"Be careful!"
Seemingly sensing something, Tenraku suddenly shouted. However, before the girls could react—
Hong Long!
A blinding light, and then the entire room exploded!
"Cough Cough Cough…"
"Is everyone okay?"
Floating in the air, shielded by barrier orbs, Tenraku quickly checked on the girls behind him.
"We're okay."
"Sob… Our home!"
Tosca promptly activated her Inherent Barrier to protect everyone. However, looking at the now ruined Kamiya Family below, Asia couldn't help but cover her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Don't worry, Asia. We've been transported to a different dimension by the enemy. What's below isn't our real home."
Descending slowly to the ground, Tenraku comforted the girl, then looked to the side.
"I was right, wasn't I, Cao Cao?"
Where Tenraku's gaze fell, Cao Cao, Georg, Heracles, and several hundred members of the Khaos Brigade were now standing.
"We finally meet again, Kamiya Tenraku."
"You're right. After all, causing trouble outside would attract a lot of attention and potentially harm ordinary people. So, it's more convenient to move you all to a different dimension."
Cao Cao, holding a war spear, replied with a smirk on his face.
"Hmph, do you terrorist organizations really care about the lives of ordinary people? Stop joking around!" Rias' voice was cold as she looked at Cao Cao with a biting sarcasm.
Rias was feeling very displeased at the moment. However, who wouldn't be furious if they were suddenly bombed in their own home?
"You must be Rias Gremory, the wife of Kamiya Tenraku, right? Truly the renowned princess, the younger sister of Vali Lucifer."
"While I can understand Princess' hostility towards us, the statement is not entirely accurate. We are indeed terrorists, but unless necessary, we rarely harm innocent people. Most of our actions so far have hardly affected ordinary civilians."
Cao Cao defended his side's image with a serious expression on his face.
Rias wanted to say something, but upon careful consideration, it seemed to be true. The Khaos Brigade's attacks on major factions caused many casualties, but they rarely harmed ordinary people.
What was this? Could it be that they were a group of cultured terrorists?
It's all sophistry! Nothing but sophistry!
"Cao Cao, what exactly is your goal?" Seeing Rias getting quite angry, Tenraku quickly changed the topic.
"Our goal. Vali has probably already told you, hasn't he?" Cao Cao spoke with a triumphant smile on his face, it was clear that Cao Cao was well aware of Vali's actions. Le Fay, who was trying to contact Vali's group, also couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Lord Tenraku, we can't reach Vali's group!"
"It's useless. I know that Vali has been secretly helping you. Ophis being taken away is also thanks to him. So, to prevent him from interfering with us, I've already sent Siegfried and Leonardo to intercept them."
Cao Cao had a smug look on his face, while Tenraku and Rias' expressions turned somewhat grim.
Cao Cao had prepared quite thoroughly, that guy!
"Cao Cao, do you want to kill this mistress?" Finally, Ophis, who had been silent on the side, spoke up.
"I'm sorry, boss, but that was indeed my plan."
"Although you have always selflessly bestowed power upon us and gathered many comrades and resources for us, it still feels a bit troublesome. Even if you're just a puppet, we still can't fully control you."
Cao Cao nodded and confessed candidly.
Rias and her girls couldn't help but chuckle. Using Ophis and still finding it troublesome! This guy was simply despicable! He was truly a scoundrel!
"I don't understand, but this mistress is invincible. You cannot kill this mistress."
Even though Cao Cao had said something quite outrageous, Ophis remained calm. And with her straightforward nature, she couldn't fathom the complicated thoughts going on in Cao Cao's mind.
"Indeed, you are too powerful, to the point of making people feel hopeless. Even if I give it my all, I wouldn't be able to kill you."
"But—"
"I still want to give it a try!"
A sharp glint flashed in Cao Cao's eyes. He thrust the war spear in his hand forward.
"Holy Spear, Pierce her!"
The golden warspear extended rapidly, and the shaft emitted a blinding light. Then, the tip of the True Longinus spear pierced Ophis's abdomen!
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Tenraku and Rias' girls were too late to intervene.
"Ophis!"
"Ophis-Chan!"
Although they had been a little afraid of Ophis at first, after spending these days together, everyone had come to see Ophis as a member of the family, as a companion to Tenraku and the others. When they saw Ophis being struck by Cao Cao's Holy Spear, Rias' girls were all shocked and angry.
However, they soon realized that their worries seemed a bit unnecessary.
True Longinus had only torn Ophis's clothes, but it couldn't even scratch her skin!
"Hah… As expected, it's still not possible."
"Kamiya Tenraku, did you see? This is the monster known as the Dragon God of Infinity. After enduring an attack like the one I just delivered, even Gods and Demon Kings would be severely injured or perish, but they wouldn't be able to inflict the slightest damage on her."
Sighing, Cao Cao spoke with some resignation on his face.
Although he didn't say anything, Tenraku was indeed deeply shaken. This was the Dragon God of Infinity, the power that stood at the pinnacle of this world! Whether it was Cao Cao or himself, in the face of this invincible power, they were still insignificant beings!
"Cao Cao, do you want to try again?" Tilting her head, Ophis asked.
Even though she had been impolitely stabbed by Cao Cao, Ophis still showed no signs of anger on her face.
Well, if an ant bit you, would you get angry? The disparity in dimensions and realms led to differences in perspective and mentality.
"No need to try again. Doing so would only be humiliating." Retracting his war spear, Cao Cao looked quite frustrated as he spoke.
"Even if all of us joined forces, we still wouldn't stand a chance against you. However, Ophis, today we have prepared a special gift for you!"
"Georg, summon our trump card."
"Understood!"
