Within Tenraku’s mental sea, two torrents of golden light clashed against each other. This was no longer a mere contest of strength, but a showdown of wills!
In the real world, only a few seconds had passed, but for Tenraku, it felt like centuries. The manifested form of the Warrior Giant, Susanoo, had vanished, leaving the entire battlefield desolate and silent.
Both combatants were covered in blood. Cao Cao still held his spear, its tip aimed at Tenraku, while Tenraku gazed up at the sky, resembling a statue.
A gentle breeze swept by, and the golden Holy Spear clattered to the ground. Cao Cao’s body tilted backward and crashed onto the ground.
“Cao Cao, you’ve lost,” Tenraku’s voice, tinged with a hint of hoarseness, resounded as he looked down upon Cao Cao.
“Ah, I’ve lost…,” Cao Cao’s face bore a bitter yet accepting smile, and he replied calmly.
To think that even the will of the Gods housed within the Holy Spear had been defeated. Kamiya Tenraku, what kind of monster are you?
His body was drained of every trace of Spirit Qi, and his consciousness began to grow heavy and blurred. Cao Cao’s aspiration was to explore the limits of humanity, to see just how far this species could reach. However, it seemed that this time, he had reached his own limit.
“Lord Tenraku!”
“Kamiya Tenraku!”
Yubelluna and Roygun descended from the sky. They had rushed over as soon as the battle concluded. Whether it was Tenraku’s overwhelming power or Cao Cao’s final burst of strength, both left them deeply shaken.
Having defeated Cao Cao, the leader of the Hero Faction, and even triumphed over the will of the Gods within the Holy Spear, Yubelluna and the other girls felt a profound sense of honor and pride to follow such a powerful King and Master.
Staring intently at Tenraku, Lady Roygun touched her red lips and her eyes gleamed with an inexplicable yet fervent light.
Grayfia, ever calm and composed, seemed impervious to any disturbance. However, upon closer inspection, one would find unprecedented ripples deep within the maid’s eyes.
As Tenraku seemed about to say something, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body fell toward the ground.
“Lord Tenraku!”
In alarm, the ladies of Yubelluna quickly supported Tenraku. After a thorough examination, their faces turned pale. It was then that they realized the severity of Tenraku’s injuries.
It was no joke. Taking the strongest blow from True Longinus head-on, even the Gods and Demon Kings of the present era might not have survived. How could Tenraku possibly emerge unscathed?
This miraculous survival was nothing short of a wonder!
It was the first time they had seen their King wounded to such an extent. Mihae and Tosca’s hearts ached, tears streaming down their faces. Ile and Nel, too, held Tenraku tightly, calling out to him with tearful eyes. Yubelluna was the first to react, hastily retrieving the Tears of Phenex and administering them to Tenraku.
As long as he hadn’t truly perished, even the most severe injuries could be healed. This was the miraculous and precious aspect of the Tears of Phenex.
Under the healing effects of the Tears of Phenex, Tenraku’s injuries swiftly began to mend. Although the depleted Spirit Power couldn’t be immediately replenished, it didn’t hinder basic movement.
“You all worried for me. Ile, Nel, and everyone else, I’m fine now.”
Tenraku gently patted the tear-streaked heads of Ile and Nel, then gestured for Tosca and Mihae to release him. Yubelluna and the other girls breathed a collective sigh of relief seeing that Tenraku is fine.
They were all part of Tenraku’s peerage, dedicating their minds and bodies to him. If anything untoward had happened to Tenraku, it would have been a ruinous blow to them.
“Kamiya Tenraku, you’ve not only defeated Cao Cao, but even the will within the Holy Spear. You truly are an extraordinary individual,” Roygun finally had the opportunity to speak, marveling.
“It’s just luck,” Tenraku modestly brushed his nose.
It was an incredibly perilous situation. If not for the last-minute gathering of Belief and power from the believers through the Gods and Demons Scripture, Tenraku might not have been able to withstand the assault of the will of God from the Holy Bible.
However, speaking of it, both the Gods and Demons Scripture and the believers are part of Tenraku’s power, so this can’t really be considered cheating. Naturally, the beautiful family lord couldn’t believe Tenraku’s claims of luck.
She continued to scrutinize him, a captivating blush gracing her exquisite features. So powerful yet so adorable… Ah, this is getting unbearable. Her heartbeats are getting stronger and stronger!
“Lord Tenraku, what should we do with this Cao Cao?” Yubelluna’s voice brought everyone’s attention to Cao Cao, who lay to the side.
Using the Brightness of Supremacy – Truth Idea also comes with a price. At this moment, Cao Cao was feeble, his injuries even more severe than Tenraku’s just now. If left unattended, this formidable figure might meet his end in a few minutes.
“Hmph, daring to harm Lord Tenraku, let him die!” Ile and Nel clenched their fists, their anger palpable.
To think that this scoundrel had injured their Lord Tenraku so severely. If they could, they’d like to take their chainsaws to this villain.
“He still has some use. We can’t let him die for now.” With a faint smile, Tenraku approached Cao Cao.
He hadn’t even collected his spoils yet. He couldn’t allow Cao Cao to die like this. His Spirit Power had recovered somewhat, and Tenraku activated the ‘Smile of the Holy Mother – Twilight Healing’, conjuring a radiant light to heal Cao Cao’s wounds.
A hint of color returned to Cao Cao’s pallid face. Pulled back from the brink of death by Tenraku, he regained consciousness and weakly gazed at Tenraku.
“Cao Cao, I’ll take your True Longinus without ceremony.”
After stopping the treatment, Tenraku spoke.
“If you want it, take it. It already belongs to you.”
Having already come to terms with this, Cao Cao replied calmly.
All the hardship and struggle against Cao Cao were for this, the most powerful tool that could destroy gods – Longinus. Tenraku didn’t hesitate. Under the gaze of the onlookers, he activated the ability of Sacred Gear Plunder and inserted a hand into Cao Cao’s chest.
The process of snatching away a Sacred Gear was extremely painful. However, Cao Cao merely furrowed his brows, not even uttering a whimper. Just this alone showed how strong this man’s will was.
Without any intention of mistreating him, Tenraku quickly seized the Sacred Gear within Cao Cao’s body and then extracted it.
Different from any Sacred Gear before, the core didn’t exist in the form of a jade jewel. What Tenraku extracted from Cao Cao’s body was a golden war spear.
It was none other than the legendary tool that could destroy gods – True Longinus!
Radiant and humming, gazing at True Longinus in his hand, Tenraku couldn’t help but feel exhilarated.
As long as he integrated this Holy Spear, he would undoubtedly reach the level of a transcender!
“You all, stand back.”
Taking a deep breath, Tenraku instructed the ladies behind him.
The process of integrating the Sacred Gear might be quite significant this time, so Tenraku had the ladies step aside.
Without asking further questions, the ladies took to the air, creating distance between themselves and Tenraku.
Everything was in place, and Tenraku had long anticipated this moment. Then, under the watchful eyes of Cao Cao and the Grayfia sisters, Tenraku integrated True Longinus into his own body.
In the next instant—
The winds and clouds changed, and the heavens and earth seemed to lose their color!
