The fated encounter took place deep in the mountains outside Kuoh, where the two met.
The host of this generation's Red Dragon Emperor and the host of this generation's White Dragon Emperor, as if destined by fate, met at this moment and place.
"Are you the Red Dragon Emperor?"
"I am. And you must be Vali, the White Dragon Emperor of this generation."
"That's me. I heard about you from Azazel. He said you're a monster, and he wasn't wrong."
"Did he also tell you that you shouldn't have come?"
"He did, but I didn't listen."
Well, Vali was a battle maniac after all.
He didn't pursue power for its own sake but for the thrill of the fight, which made him stronger.
"Let me introduce myself. Seeing your reaction, Azazel probably hid my identity from you."
"I'm all ears."
"I am August, the only legitimate descendant of the Demon Clan, the Demon Duke of the Underworld, and also the Red Dragon Emperor of this generation."
Swoosh~
With these words, the Boosted Gear appeared on August's arm.
This was the fated battle between the Red Dragon Emperor and the White Dragon Emperor. Therefore, August would not use any weapons other than the Boosted Gear, including his treasury.
Since it was a destined battle, it had to be concluded in a way that followed destiny.
"Are you the only descendant of the Demon Clan?"
"That's right."
"Haha~ quite interesting. Fate is such a thing."
Vali burst into laughter, even Albion, also impressed.
Albion thought meeting Vali, a miraculous existence, was already hitting the jackpot. Unexpectedly, Ddraig had also hit the jackpot, and a big one at that.
The Demon Clan, if the devils were considered a race liked by darkness, then the demon was the master of darkness.
Naturally born with the powerful power of darkness, and each generation of demon clan descendants would awaken their unique powers, different from generation to generation but incredibly powerful.
"It's really exciting for me. Since that's the case, let me introduce myself as well."
"I am Vali, Vali Lucifer."
"The direct descendant of the original Satan Lucifer and a hybrid born of a human."
"The word 'miracle' seems tailor-made for me. Born with both human and Satan blood, chosen because human blood flows within me, I became the White Dragon Emperor of this generation."
Vali unfolded the demonic wings behind him, a full set of eight wings, demonic wings of the ultimate-class devil.
As a hybrid with the bloodline of the original Lucifer, the ultimate-class devil, and the host of the Divine Dividing, Vali was the White Dragon Emperor of this generation.
Seeing Vali also reveal his true identity, August was not surprised.
This was Vali. He was proud, so he wouldn't hide his identity, especially when facing an opponent he recognized.
The so-called rival, August, reported his name, and Vali naturally followed suit.
Two individuals, one, a descendant of the original Satan, and the other, a descendant of the Demon Clan. In a certain sense, they were quite similar.
Boom~
The next moment, a terrifying magic power began to surge from both individuals.
[Boost!]
[Divide!]
The Boosted gear at August's arm made a sound, and similarly, the Divine Dividing behind Vali manifested, with its crystal-blue double wings radiating brilliance in the sky.
[We meet again, Ddraig.]
[Yes, after many years, we meet again, Albion.]
[This time, luck is on my side.]
[Mutual feelings.]
Ddraig and Albion, former Two Heavenly Dragons, met again today.
[This time, I have already won. I got the trump card.]
[No, this time, I have already won. I got the trump card.]
Red and White Dragons, in opposition for who knows how many years, even after being turned into sacred gears, the Dragon Souls sealed within the sacred gears still remained.
Each generation's Red Dragon Emperor and White Dragon Emperor, no matter what, would meet and engage in battle until one side fell.
For many years, it had been like this. Now, as the Red Dragon Emperor August and the White Dragon Emperor Vali met in this place, a battle was about to unfold.
"I think there's no need for unnecessary words. I won't waste time, let's get started."
[Balance Breaker!]
[Divine Dividing Scale Mail!]
Vali directly entered the Balance Breaker, putting on the armor of the White Dragon Emperor, appearing as a warrior clad in the White Dragon Emperor's armor.
A powerful magic power surged directly into the sky, shaking the entire Kuoh with this magical force.
As an Ultimate-class devil, Vali, after entering the Balance Breaker, was only slightly below the Satan-class. He could even contend with a Satan with the power of the Divine Dividing Scale Mail.
"What kind of magic power is this? It's so powerful."
In Kuoh Academy, Sona, inside the Student Council, felt this magical power and was suddenly shocked.
"Such a powerful magical power, and it's at the outskirts of Kuoh?"
In the Occult Research Club, Rias also felt this magical power.
Anyone with magic power could feel the immense magical power, and it was not an exaggeration to say that the entire Kuoh was enveloped in this magical force.
In a bar in Kuoh, not many people were present as it was daytime.
And this person was none other than Azazel, who had come to Kuoh. Originally planning to have a drink here to pass the time before heading back, he unexpectedly sensed Vali's magical power.
"Vali, you couldn't hold back after all. But that brat is a monster. Can you really handle it?"
Finishing the drink in his cup in one go, Azazel's eyes were filled with concern.
Although Vali was originally chosen to become his adopted child because of the Divine Dividing that resided in him, over the years, Azazel had long treated Vali as his own child.
"Oh well, let's make a trip. In case that kid has murderous intent, bleeding a little won't hurt."
In the end, Azazel decided to make a trip.
After all, that brat, August, was too mysterious and had an evil nature. Azazel couldn't read August's pulse at all. If he really killed Vali, it would be too late to regret.
Thus, the entire Kuoh was shaken by Vali's magical power outbreak.
And August, watching Vali at this moment, a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes. This strength was indeed formidable.
Also, August noticed one thing. He had never developed or, to be precise, had never used the Boosted Gear!
