"You've kept us waiting." In the void, Tenraku, Sona, Serafall, and Azazel flew over to join Rias and the others.
Seeing that only a few of the leaders who had entered the isolated barrier remained, Rias and her group couldn't help but feel a sense of heaviness. However, both Serafall and Azazel were unharmed, which was fortunate amidst the unfortunate circumstances.
After exchanging greetings and a brief conversation, Tenraku led the group once again to confront the God of the Holy Bible.
"Tenraku-kun, it seems that things on your end have been resolved."
"Ah, now it's our turn."
The God of the Holy Bible spoke, while Tenraku's expression turned resolute.
"Although I don't want to face an opponent like you, the current situation can't be resolved peacefully anymore."
"Indeed, to achieve my ideal, to establish a world of true peace and radiance, all of you, including Tenraku-kun, must be removed as obstacles."
"So it's for such reasons. It's both boring and terrifying." "But where there is radiance, there is inevitably darkness. A world of true peace and radiance is impossible."
"No, it's just because the radiance isn't strong enough. With sufficient radiance, all darkness can be dispelled."
Tenraku frowned, while the God of the Holy Bible chuckled and shook his head.
"It seems we can't convince each other."
"It seems so. In fact, after reading the Holy Scripture written by Tenraku-kun, I understood. Tenraku-kun possesses a heart that embraces everything, whether it's radiance or darkness, Tenraku-kun can accept it."
"But I still can't agree with that. I want to establish a world of absolute radiance, where any darkness and evil will be purified and eradicated."
"Although it's such a righteous reason, hearing it is terrifying. I still can't agree with your choice!"
"So, fate has brought us together."
"Tenraku-kun, you should have realized by now. Today, only one side will leave here alive, and the final victor will determine the fate of this world."
"Ah, I have realized!"
Staring at each other, both Tenraku and the God of the Holy Bible's eyes flashed with fierce determination.
Since this was an inevitable battle, they would fight to their hearts' content!
"Ophis, Lilith, Ddraig, Albion, Tiamat!"
"Master."
"Partner."
Tenraku shouted loudly, and Ophis and Ddraig appeared by Tenraku's side.
"I'll deal with the God of the Holy Bible. Until I defeat him, you guys are responsible for restraining 666 (Trihexa) and preventing that monster from harming our comrades."
"Understood!"
"Okay."
Tenraku gave orders to Ophis and the others, and they responded.
With the two Dragon Gods, the legendary Two Heavenly Dragons, and the strongest Dragon King Tiamat, even just restraining 666 (Trihexa) was more than enough for them!
"Rias, Sona, take the others and deal with Sirzechs's Peerage."
"Yes!"
Tenraku looked at Rias and the others, and they responded in unison.
The real Sirzechs had seven members in his Peerage. After Sirzechs's body was occupied by the God of the Holy Bible, they were naturally controlled by him.
The members included Grayfia as the Queen, MacGregor Mathers as the Bishop, Okita Souji as the Knight, Surtr Second and Bahamut as Rooks, and Enku and Beowulf as Pawns.
Grayfia, known as the strongest Queen in the Underworld, had defected to Tenraku's side. After that, the God of the Holy Bible created Frayfia to replace her. Frayfia's appearance, behavior, and magical power were exactly the same as Grayfia's, and her strength was likely on par with Grayfia's.
MacGregor Mathers, the legendary magician, is one of the founders of the Golden Dawn!
Okita Souji, the swordsmanship genius in human history!
Surtr Second is a replica of the fire giant Surtr from Norse mythology, but his strength surpassed the original and was hailed as the strongest Rook in the Underworld!
[Rook]Bahamut, a monstrous fish that can swim freely in water and air, possessing immense size and formidable strength, a legendary Demonic Being!
[Pawn]Enku, a god beast qilin from legend said to bring auspiciousness!
[Pawn]Beowulf, a descendant of the great hero Beowulf from legend, the strongest [Pawn] in the Underworld!
Although there were only seven of them, each one was a legendary figure capable of resisting a hundred or even ten thousand opponents alone!
Frayfia was naturally dealt with by Grayfia, while the remaining five were to be dealt with by Rias and her group.
As for the Angel faction led by Michael...
"Azazel, Lord Odin, Lord Zeus, are you all still able to fight?"
Tenraku asked Azazel's group.
"Even if the situation isn't ideal, we have to fight."
"My old bones can still hold up a bit longer."
"Leave those Angels to us, Red Dragon Emperor."
Azazel wore a wry smile, followed by Odin and Zeus.
"Then Michael and his group are all yours."
Now was not the time for hesitation. Tenraku had made up his mind. Azazel's group still had some combat power left, so restraining Michael's group shouldn't be a problem for them.
With all the arrangements made, it was time for the real battle!
"God of the Holy Bible, let's fight somewhere more remote," Tenraku spoke after taking a deep breath.
"As you wish, Tenraku-kun."
With a gentle smile, the God of the Holy Bible didn't refuse either.
Spirit power surged, and then Tenraku and the God of the Holy Bible transformed into two streams of light and soared into the sky.
"Let's begin too!"
After exchanging glances, everyone began to act.
Grayfia and Rias's group confronted Frayfia and the other seven members of Sirzechs's Peerage. They chose a space on the left as their battlefield. Azazel and Odin's group faced off against Michael and his Angel faction, selecting a space on the right for their battle.
Soon, only Sovereign Beast 666 (Trihexa) - Trihexa and Ophis, Lilith, Ddraig, Albion, and Tiamat remained in place.
