Having traversed countless realms, can you possibly be as clever as me?

It was as if endless magic existed within this beating dragon's heart, echoing throughout the entire world of Pandora. It was the heart of the world's first pure-blooded dragon, which stood at the very top even among top-tier fantasy species like dragons.

Heart of Albion

"It would be better to use this to play against you next."

"Well, you're already using the benefits I just received?"

Saint Tsurugi looked at his other self, at the magical furnace core within his chest that was now pulsating with terrifying true ether, and said with a rather unsettling expression...

It's something I earned myself, but someone else uses it—amazing!

"Nonsense! What's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine," Demon Tsurugi retorted mockingly.

"And even if I give it back to you, can you take out your own heart and put it in? I don't mind letting you use my other things, but don't forget, in essence, you are still a 'person'."

No matter how grand the miracles of a saint, or how dazzling the glory of a paladin, the user is, in essence, human, and can only be human.

Even the Holy Son is still a human being, isn't he? Powerful miracles and radiance can only appear in pure humans.

He gained power through sheer purity, and therefore, he couldn't benefit from any of those fancy enhancements.

Saint Dongjiang snorted coldly, and the next moment, he opened his right hand.

boom!!!!

That pure white spear, which seemed to hold the power over all things, instantly tore through the pale, illusory sky above and descended into his palm!

He slowly tightened his grip on the spear, and in an instant, a dazzling light, like a star exploding, appeared on his body.

The angelic attire reappeared, but at the same time, a magnificent, heavy, and powerful golden armor was also placed over his body!

The helmet has a streamlined curved surface, with a diamond-shaped incandescent white crystal inlaid on the forehead, and curved wings extending from both sides. The top is outlined with sharp golden thorns, and a holy halo with a diameter of more than ten feet floats on the back of the head, flowing with a warm light like molten gold. Each ripple of the halo is accompanied by tiny specks of holy light.

The shoulder armor is in the shape of a heavy griffin, with the lion's head glaring with wide eyes. The feather patterns are outlined in mithril with sharp edges. A heart-shaped red-gold crystal is embedded in the center of the breastplate, like a small, leaping sun, constantly radiating scorching holy energy. The armor is covered with intersecting patterns and hangs with shimmering pendants that jingle as you walk, like the tolling of bells from heaven.

Even the golden wings on his back were no longer soft, luminous feathers, but transformed into dazzling, blazing wings!

【Angel Armed】

The glory of Heaven brought him equipment belonging to the Heavenly Army, and undoubtedly, this battle also attracted the attention of Heaven!

"That's more like it." Saint Tsurugi stretched his neck, the joints of his armor producing a crisp metallic clang, and the halo of his divine aura expanded accordingly.

"Confront the radiance of Heaven's power!"

Before he finished speaking, the spear that held the power to solidify all things suddenly burst forth with dazzling holy light, and the surging heavenly fire gushed out like a fountain from the inward curve of the spear tip!

But the temperature seemed to be much stronger than when Tsurugi used it before. The color of the flames, which were made of pure divine energy, gradually changed from pale gold to blazing white. The temperature was high enough to distort space. The air around the tip of the spear crackled and popped as it was burned, forming rings of transparent fire.

Flames erupted from the tip of the spear, instantly engulfing the entire body of the demon Tsurugi, forming a massive pillar of fire. The light was so dazzling that even the saint Tsurugi subconsciously squinted.

The demon Tsurugi's body began to disintegrate inch by inch in the flames. Its skin, muscles, and bones turned into golden specks of light under the scorching of the holy flames, and were then devoured by the flames, turning into charred black fragments.

But from beginning to end, he never uttered a sound of pain, only a low, menacing laugh that would send a nightmare through the sensitive nerves of mortals.

The pillar of fire suddenly contracted, then exploded violently, scattering countless black charred fragments that turned into thick black smoke in the air, churning and gathering like boiling asphalt, casting a heavy gloom over this world where pure white and pure black intertwined.

The black smoke grew thicker and thicker, writhing and expanding as if it were alive, eventually forming a huge black vortex. From the center of the vortex came a low roar, like the simultaneous howls of thousands of demons.

Immediately afterwards, a giant claw covered in dark purple scales emerged from the darkness, its tip gleaming with a cold, eerie green light. Its undulating dragon-like body appeared as thin and slender as a skeleton, and its scales shone with a metallic luster under the black smoke. Each scale was like a meticulously forged shield, engraved with twisted blasphemous symbols!

Its enormous wings unfurled, but they were not membranes; instead, they were composed of jagged bone spikes with sharp, bony edges. Their flapping created a howling, eerie wind that whipped the surrounding black smoke into a fluttering sound. The dragon slowly emerged from the darkness, its horns curved like scythes, radiating a scarlet light.

Then, the humanoid, dragon-like demon slowly rose from the black smoke, its long, whip-like tail swaying gently behind it, and a deep, evil voice emanated from it.

263 >>

Even in the heart of heaven, angels still feel fear...

Saint Tsurugi hovered in mid-air, looking at the dragon-like demon, his voice carrying the unique majesty of an angel.

"My old rival, you can't fool me. Even if you turn to ashes, I'll still recognize you. Reveal your true form, Leia Boluo!"

Demon Tsugumi couldn't help but complain.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's fine to recreate the scene, but could you please stop copying the lines verbatim?!"

But before he could finish speaking, the sage Dongjiang transformed into a golden streak of light tearing through the darkness, and charged forward without hesitation.

"clang--!"

A deafening clang of metal clashing shook the heavens and earth as the demon's claws clashed violently with the spearhead, which was solidified against all things. Holy golden light and hellish black mist mingled like fire and water, instantly erupting into an energy shockwave a hundred feet in diameter. The cracks in the pure white sky were torn even wider, and the shattered rocks of the black earth turned to dust in the shockwave.

Saint Tsurugi used the momentum to retreat, while the blazing wings of the angelic armor unleashed three golden fire blades, aiming straight for Demon Tsurugi's neck. Demon Tsurugi, in turn, swung its long tail, and dark scales burst forth with eerie green lightning, shattering the fire blades into scattered points of light.

"Shameless sneak attack! And you call yourself a saint?!" Seeing the defeated Saint Tsurugi, Demon Tsurugi unleashed a burst of flames.

"Saving yourself isn't considered sabotaging yourself, and you have no right to criticize me!"

Saint Tsurugi shattered the attack and stopped in his tracks. Then, looking curiously at Tsurugi's appearance, which so closely resembled Diablo's, he asked...

"But the way you look is..."

"I have unified three powers to use together," the demon Tsurugi said gleefully, pointing to the pulsating heart of Albion.

"This is the first time I've tried using it this way, but the effect is surprisingly good."

With the Heart of Albion as its core, the demon Tsurugi initially intended to use the power of jealousy to transform himself directly into the dragon of Albion.

However, his Lv1 jealousy ability was insufficient to drive him to perfectly complete the genetic reshaping, and his knowledge of Type-Moon fantasy species was inadequate.

Although he could choose a secondary transformation, merely using the heart of the Albion dragon as the core to mold himself into the form of the 'Beast,' he was unwilling to use such an ugly form during the civil war.

Then, he suddenly had a brilliant idea.

What would happen if I activated three powers simultaneously and then shaped them around the heart of the Albion dragon?

He acted on his impulses, thus unleashing the powers of destruction, desire, and jealousy simultaneously, and this is the result.

The powers of three demonic energies intertwine within him: jealousy shapes his physical form, destruction draws upon his strength, and desire stabilizes the shape of his soul.

The whole process went incredibly smoothly, and when it was all over, Tsurugi had transformed into this form.

The choice of using the form of the great demon Diablo was simply because it seemed appropriate – in fact, according to the beating of this heart, it should have taken the form of a dragon.

"Whether he's strong or not is hard to say, but being handsome is something that lasts a lifetime."

“I agree,” said Sage Dongjiang approvingly, then ended the conversation and continued the battle!

The demon Tsurugi suddenly opened its massive maw, unleashing a torrent of dark red breath mixed with dazzling lightning. Meanwhile, Tsurugi raised its holy spear to meet the attack head-on. The dragon's breath struck the golden spear, producing a piercing scorching sound. Holy light and dark flames devoured each other, billowing thick smoke of black and white intertwined!

The next moment, the spiral patterns on the Holy Lance lit up instantly, and countless golden chains extended from the tip of the spear, like living serpents, winding around the demon Tsurugi along the cracks in the earth. Before they even touched him, the chains had already begun to dim due to the scorching flames, but they still held tightly to the demon Tsurugi's limbs.

Although it's still in the exploratory stage, Tsurugi has gradually figured out how to use the spear that is fixed in all things.

Saint Tsurugi seized the opportunity, flapping his golden wings with all his might, transforming into a golden meteor as he swooped down, his spear aimed straight at the Heart of Albion on the chest of Demon Tsurugi!

"Hahahaha, kill! kill! kill! kill! kill! kill! kill! kill! kill!!"

Saint Dongjiang revealed his madness, and after severing his thoughts, he seemed to no longer regard the other party as himself, and fought as if they were mortal enemies!

The holy spear pierced through his magical defenses almost effortlessly. Faced with the power imbued with the radiance of heaven, the magic of hell triumphed as easily as summer snow.

Won!

"Think beautifully!"

The demon Dongjiang roared, instantly unleashing its destructive power to erode and weaken the chains, forcibly breaking free. Then, it tightly restrained the holy spear aimed at its heart with its hands overlapping, and roared back, its scales instantly standing up like thousands of sharp daggers. At the same time, its bone-bladed wings on its back suddenly contracted and then suddenly unfolded, and countless black bone fragments shot towards the saint Dongjiang like a rainstorm.

263>>>>

A second before he retreated, the Demon Tsurugi's long tail, as sharp as a blade and as powerful as a whip, suddenly swept across, instantly sending the unsuspecting Saint Tsurugi flying!

Before it was over, the demon Tsugumi immediately activated her media powers, disappearing and reappearing like a bolt of lightning.

"Horse herd, overwhelm him!!!"

With a maniacal laugh, Demon Tsurugi slammed his other self into the abyss. The instant he plunged into the surging black ocean beneath his feet, countless boiling black muds, fueled by his jealousy, created an endless stream of twisted monsters that chased after Saint Tsurugi!

Saint Dongjiang, who was rushing down to this black earth, stopped falling before hitting the black mud. But the next moment, in front, behind, left, and right, almost every direction was filled with a group of monsters that were not what they looked like, twisted and ferocious, and it would be a stretch to call them fantasy species!

Despite their appalling appearance, their vitality and destructive power were undeniable. Before he could even stop levitating, he was dragged into the black mud. And this terrifying number instantly plunged Saint Dongjiang into an endless siege.

"Setting up the war here is not only to block your blessings, but also because this is my home ground!"

The demon Tsurugi also fell into the black mud. His wounds, which had been damaged by the saint Tsurugi and were constantly bleeding, continued to bleed. But the moment this blood, containing the genetic information of the Albion dragon, fell into the black mud, he used his jealousy power to forcibly create these 'beasts'!

Compared to his saintly self, the demon Tsugumi undoubtedly possesses greater combat wisdom. Or rather, she is more cunning than her counterpart.

Seeing that the monsters he had created were enough to exhaust Saint Dongjiang, he simply didn't go forward at all. Instead, he used his jealousy power and the almost endless black mud in the area to create monsters to deplete Saint Dongjiang's power.

Meanwhile, Saint Tsurugi, who had been fighting among the monsters for half a day without seeing any reduction in their numbers, was directly brought to the red-temperature level.

"Ugh! I'm so angry!!!"

Saint Tsurugi was furious and, without hesitation, activated the Angel's Descent.

"You fucking called for help, you're cheating!!!"

But complaining was pointless. The next moment, a dazzling white beam of light crashed down from Heaven, instantly dispelling the black mud monster beside Saint Dongjiang.

But for some reason, the injuries on the Demon Tsurugi's body also disappeared without a trace, and he suddenly felt that his power had become stronger than ever before.

Looking at the buff bar, it clearly displays one.

【The Gaze of the Kings of Hell (6h6min6s)】

"Marquis, Little Jiang, we've been through thick and thin, so keep your spirits up and don't embarrass yourselves!" —From Seven Deadly Sins

It seems that the scene of him fighting with himself has become a source of amusement for some people. Although he was unhappy, Demon Tsurugi didn't care about that anymore.

The two of them, who were already engrossed in the game, were now thinking nothing but war!

Forget about the return of the Age of Gods or anything like that. I don't care. I only have one thought right now.

The battle was awesome!!!

Saint Dongjiang infused his entire body with holy light into his spear, transforming the spearhead into a small star. The dazzling light illuminated the entire world of Pandora as if it were daytime, even dispelling most of the black smoke.

Meanwhile, the demon Dongjiang erupted completely. The Heart of Albion pounded to its limit, and its dragon-shaped body transformed into a combination of pure dark energy and dragon might. Its enormous dragon head opened, revealing a swirling vortex of darkness within.

"Croak, eat my Heavenly Feather Dragon-Slaying Dance!"
