--- Chapter 217 ---
"Welcome to our World(Douluo Dalu)." Huo Yuhao smiled at the guest from the DxD World.
They were still entranced by the sudden change of energy because, unlike their world, Douluo Dalu had just stepped from the ancient era.
Only 10,000 years passed since the last batch of humans ascended to the God Realm. The world hasn't gotten polluted.
Yes, the Era of Gods just began.
Ophis sniffed the air and skipped on the ground a few times. "My body feels heavy." She commented with a frown.
"That's because the Spirit Energy here is denser," Scathach commented lightly. "No matter how much you trained in the Draconic Deus, it's nothing compared to this place."
"Of course, since you were quite strong before starting your path as Spirit Master. You have a better start than most people in this world." The God Slayer added while shrugging her fair shoulders.
Ophis pouted. She doesn't like this restriction on her body.
She could still use her 'Infinity.' but this world seems to reject her power and weaken it by countless folds.
"Yuhao, Help me!" Ophis ran to him.
Huo Yuhao rubbed Ophis's head helplessly and responded, "You can just open the seal on your body, you know?"
"Oh, you're right." Ophis's eyes lit up.
She pressed her hand against her chest and released the seal that locked some of her strength. A burst of purple aura exuded from Ophis's body, catching everyone off guard.
The ground shattered, which left some Architects from the Dragon Nest speechless. They knew Ophis was strong because she could herself against Scathach's training for one year, showing remarkable growth.
However, they forgot to factorize that Ophis was one of the strongest creatures in her homeworld. Her strength is bound to increase by leap, considering Scathach never holds back when she wants to teach someone.
"Shit! We need to fix the whole thing now." The head researcher, Xiao Chen, grumbled in annoyance.
After returning from another world, Xiao Chen planned to bury himself in research as he possessed many new materials. It is because Ophis cracked the ground and the arrays underneath it.
"Maybe I can help?" Azazel walked out with a grin. He already has that dirty look on his face, annoying Xiao Chen.
"Fuck off." Xiao Chen rolled his eyes. "You haven't even mastered the 3rd Stage of Spirit Engineering."
Azazel laughed and countered, "Hehe, someone didn't give me material to study, so I can't master the 3rd Stage of Spirit Engineering."
"Ignore them..." Huo Yuhao's eyebrow twitched at these two maniacs' antics.
"How is your body?"
Ophis balled her little hand into a fist a few times and answered, "Weak, but better than earlier."
"Can we have dessert first?"
Such an absurd change of topic will baffle anybody. Still, Huo Yuhao shook his head and contacted someone from his wristwatch.
The outermost wall parted and revealed a beautiful woman. It was Huo Yuhao's secretary, Liu Mei.
"Leader, you have returned?" Liu Mei was puzzled.
She's also excited. It was a good thing that Huo Yuhao and others returned.
They are two months and a half earlier than she expected.
It also means they conquered another world in just over a year.
Liu Mei gazed at Huo Yuhao with deep admiration, thinking only a man like him could achieve such a feat. She then glanced at the unfamiliar group of people and sensed a suffocating presence from some of them.
'And he also brought some formidable people.' Liu Mei thought to herself.
'Hmm?'
The silver-haired woman in the group gazed at Liu Mei solemnly, making the latter sense of wariness. But again, Liu Mei isn't the type of woman who backed down without a fight.
Electricity flickered between their gazes. Their Haki clash causes the surrounding air to tremble slightly.
Grayfia Lucifuge felt threatened when Liu Mei entered the room. Yes, this was her first time after becoming Huo Yuhao's personal maid/secretary!
A rival finally appeared!
"Not bad." Liu Mei overwhelms Grayfia with Conqueror's Haki, causing the devil maid to frown in displeasure.
Scathach chuckled and commented, "Grayfia, Liu Mei is one of the top powerhouses in the Dragon Nest. Even with a better starting point, you wouldn't pose a threat to her."
"Is that so?" Grayfia faintly smiled, not denying nor agreeing with Scathach's comment.
She has pride as Huo Yuhao's Maid!
She won't admit defeat!
"I'll return to my room and sleep." Scathach shook her head, walking away. "There aren't many important things to do anyway."
"Dragon Nest, Dismissed!" Huo Yuhao promptly announced. The original Dragon Nest Member heaved a sigh of relief and walked out of the altar room.
The majority of them have a family of their own. So, not seeing their relatives for over a year would pile up homesick one way or another.
After they left, only individuals from the DxD remained and waited for Huo Yuhao's order.
"Psst, Vali. What do you think about this world?" Ikusei Tobio asked the current generation of White Dragon Emperor.
Vali Lucifer crossed his arms and replied, "I don't know."
"What matters the most is that this was stronger! I couldn't help but imagine how much I'd grow on this new stage."
"Never mind, I forgot you were a training maniac." Ikusei Tobie sighed in defeat.
Huo Yuhao pulled a box from his inventory and opened it before them, revealing several customized wristwatches.
"Everyone gets one each."
"This wristwatch was a technology I developed. It has a built-in coordinator and helper, Giana."
"The wristwatch will bind to your biometrics and spiritual matter."
"We used CC or Contribution Credits in the Dragon Nest to exchange resources and many other things. Since you just joined, I have added 100,000 CCs to your accounts. That is more than enough for a day."
"If you need further explanation, you can ask Giana herself."
"Well, take it."
Azazel was the first to move. He picked a random wristwatch and wore it on his left hand, feeling something connected to his body and soul. Even though the connection was surface level, it was enough to let Giana help them.
"Amazing..." Azazel uttered while scrolling through the wristwatch's function. Information keeps flashing on the holographic screen.
Others also wore wristwatches, checking their function.
"Okay, you're free to roam around the Dragon Nest's Territories except for some restricted areas." Huo Yuhao told them casually. "We will meet again in twelve hours."
"You guys are also dismissed."
"Don't be late. I would hold a banquet to welcome your arrival."
"Liu Mei, report." He added while staring at the Queen of Thunder.
Liu Mei nodded and smiled, "Okay."
...
Upon walking out of the altar room, the guests from the DxD World gasped in surprise.
"Wow." Kuroka's cat-like eyes shone brightly.
Before their eyes, a vast landscape surrounded by mountains and forest appeared. A gentle gust of wind brushed their faces, giving them a feel of a comfortable atmosphere.
For Youkai, they couldn't help but shudder in pleasure.
"This is best!" Kunou's little body trembled in excitement.
"Agree, Nyaa!" Koneko nodded in agreement.
Kuroka glanced at these two fellows and giggled, "Yuhao, let us free for twelve hours. Let's explore the place, Nyaa!"
As others watched the three Youkai fly away, they also felt intrigued by this world and wanted to explore themselves.
Ajuka Beelzebub and Azazel stared at each other.
"Are you thinking what I am thinking?" Azazel asked while rubbing his hands like a shady guy in the back alley.
"Yup." Ajuka nodded slightly.
"HAHAHA, TO THE LIBRARY~!" Azazel's maniacal laugh rang in the mountain.
Vali Lucifer checked his wristwatch and grinned, pulling Ikusei Tobio with him. "Let's check the arena. I want to fight."
"You too, Arthur, Le Fay!"
"..." Ikuse Tobio.
"Hai, Vali-san!" Le Fay sat on her broom and followed from behind.
"..." Arthur Pendragon.
"Interesting, interesting! Count me in, Vali!" Sairaorg Bael jumped and ran alongside the White Dragon Emperor. "I want to see the wonder of this Cultivation World."
"From now on, I shall start my path toward the Immortal Realm!"
Xenovia Quarta pulled Asia Argento and said, "Asia, I want to check weaponsmiths here."
"Okay, Xenovia-san." Asia nodded, wanting to change her fighting glove as well.
Griselda Quarta was troubled, finding it awkward to stand alone until Nico Robin proposed to explore the city in Dragon Nest's main base together.
Interested, Griselda agreed and left with Nico Robin.
'Whatever.' Huo Yuhao thought while staring at this group of people.
Liu Mei finished her report and returned to the office a while ago.
"Yuhao, Yuhao. I'm hungry." Ophis pulled the corner of Huo Yuhao's clothes.
"Me too!" Tiamat joined the conversation.
"Me three!" Gabriel hugged Huo Yuhao's arm.
"I will follow wherever Yuhao-sama goes," Grayfia said while standing beside Huo Yuhao.
"The same goes for me." Venelana smiled warmly at Huo Yuhao.
Ingvild Leviathan didn't say anything, but she also entered Huo Yuhao's circle with a smile.
"Fufu, he's quite popular, isn't it?" Minamoto no Raikou walked to Huo Yun'er.
Huo Yun'er giggled, "Of course!"
"He's my son, after all."
