On the playground of Kooh Academy, the night wind stirred up the dust that had not yet settled, carrying with it the pungent smell of gunpowder and blood.

"My masterpiece... the holy sword I forged with the culmination of my entire life's work!!"

Balpa Galileo lay sprawled on the gravel-strewn ground like a maggot that had lost its spine.

He stared intently at the few dull, scrap metal fragments, his hands frantically scratching at the ground, oblivious even as his fingernails split and bled.

"This is impossible! This defies the laws of magic! That was a miracle bestowed by God! How could it be destroyed in a single blow..."

"A miracle?"

Mordred, carrying his greatsword, strode up to the old priest with an air of utter disregard for family.

There was not a trace of pity in her emerald eyes, only extreme disgust for this scoundrel.

"You call it a miracle to piece together a few scraps of metal and stuff them with the innocent souls you killed? Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about the word 'sword'?"

"What do you know, you heretic! As long as this great undertaking can be accomplished, sacrificing a few test subjects is nothing..."

boom!

Before Balpa could finish speaking, Mordred stomped heavily on his face, burying his incessantly chattering mouth into the mud.

Several broken teeth spurted out mixed with blood.

"What I hate most are scum like you who treat human life like dirt and yet spout righteous nonsense."

Mordred turned her head and looked at Kiba Yuuto, who was still in a daze not far away.

"Hey, you blond kid over there! This guy's your enemy, right?"

She kicked the half-dead Balpa to the foot of the woodyard.

"Take revenge yourself. Don't expect me to clean up this mess for you."

Kiba Yuto looked at Balpa, who was lying at his feet, groaning in pain.

The culprit who had tormented him for countless days and nights, and who had burdened him with the resentment of all his comrades' tragic deaths, was now like a stray dog, at the mercy of others.

He took a deep breath and drew his demon sword.

"Thank you... Sir Knight."

Start.

The sword fell.

There was no unnecessary talk, no lengthy trial.

A sinful head rolled to the ground, and the gloom in Kiba Yuuto's eyes finally dissipated completely at that moment.

At this moment, right in the center of the battlefield.

Kirkbor, a fallen angel cadre pinned to mid-air by Scáthach's two magic spears, is experiencing the most desperate moment of his long life.

The crimson concept of death, flowing along the blade of the gun, was like ten thousand bloodthirsty ants, frantically gnawing at his spiritual core.

Half of his ten black wings, which he was so proud of, had been corroded into withered bones by the death aura.

"Kill me... if you have the guts, just kill me!"

Veins bulged on Kokober's face as he stared intently at Luo Chen, who stood below with his hands in his pockets, and let out a hoarse roar.

"As long as I don't go back, no matter how much that coward Azazel tries to cover it up, he can't hide the fact that the three major factions are at war! You monsters of unknown origin will be annihilated by the combined forces of Heaven and the Underworld sooner or later!!!"

"A combined force of Heaven and the Underworld?"

Luo Chen chuckled softly, as if he had heard some huge joke.

He slowly raised his eyelids, his crimson-gold vertical pupils revealing a soul-chilling indifference.

"Aren't you taking yourself too seriously, Raven?"

"Just two hours ago, your governor, Asaher, personally came to my door with two chests of apologies, assuring me that he would absolutely not interfere with any of my actions in Kuoh Town."

"As for the demon king of the underworld, Sazex..."

A mocking smile curled at the corner of Luo Chen's lips.

"He's probably hiding in the Demon King's castle right now, racking his brains to figure out how to calm my morning grumpiness."

"What...what did you say?!"

Kokober's pupils contracted sharply, and for the first time, an emotion called "absurdity" appeared on his distorted face.

Has Asahir bowed his head?

Is Sazex afraid to come forward?

How is that possible!

That's someone who stands at the pinnacle of this world! How could they possibly be so afraid of a man?!

Are you surprised?

Luo Chen didn't look at him again, but simply waved his hand casually.

"Master, please dispose of it. Don't let his dirty blood drip onto Rias's training ground; it'll be a hassle to find someone to clean it up."

"Yes, my king."

A cruel smile appeared on Scáthach's beautiful face.

Her fair fingers gently twirled the gun handle.

"—The Death of the Dead Thorn!"

boom!

The berserk runes of death erupted instantly, and Kokober didn't even have time to let out a final scream before he turned into a cloud of black ashes in mid-air.

Blown away by the night wind, it vanished without a trace.

Watching this once arrogant fallen angel executive vanish into thin air, Rias and her retinue, standing behind, became extremely cautious, even their breathing became timid.

This is no longer a battle.

This is a pure example of dimensional reduction.

"Alright, the trash has been cleaned up."

Luo Chen turned around, preparing to lead his servants back home.

Just then.

The clouds in the night sky were suddenly torn apart by a violent magical force.

Om-! ! !

A dazzling blue beam of light descended from the sky, accompanied by a piercing buzzing sound as space was violently torn apart. A magical wave, completely different from fallen angels and demons, filled with domineering and pure destructive desire, instantly enveloped the entire Kuoh Academy.

"Oh? Looks like there are quite a few guests tonight."

Luo Chen stopped in his tracks, slightly raised his chin, and looked up at the sky.

Within that blue pillar of light, a figure clad in full armor with white and streamlined blue stripes slowly descended.

Two enormous wings of light fluttered gently behind him, radiating a sacred yet highly aggressive glow.

Divine Dividing, the Wings of the White Dragon Emperor.

The armor's owner was none other than the current White Dragon Emperor—Vali Lucifer.

"Tch, I'm a step too late."

Vali hovered a dozen meters above the ground, his gaze sweeping across the chaotic playground and the ashes that were reduced to a few black feathers behind his mask. His tone revealed an undisguised displeasure.

"That old man Azazel sent me to take that mad dog Kirkbor back, looks like I won't have to lift a finger."

He turned his gaze downwards.

The first thing you see are those female Servants who are stunningly beautiful but exude a terrifying aura.

But soon, his gaze was drawn to the man in black standing at the front, as if by a magnet.

Boom!

The moment Vali saw Luo Chen, his heart, which carried the blood of the Demon King, unexpectedly skipped a beat.

Not only him, but also the celestial dragon residing in the God-Slaying Gear behind him—the White Dragon Emperor Albion—directly emitted an extremely rare and terrifying roar in his mind.

"Vali! Stand back! Put away your fighting spirit! Don't provoke that man!!!"

"What's wrong, Albion?"

Vali frowned.

As a battle maniac, he rarely saw this proud white dragon lose its composure like this.

"That man possesses an extremely terrifying dragon essence within him! No... that's no ordinary dragon!"

Arubian's voice even trembled slightly.

"That is a 'Root' that surpasses even the Two Heavenly Dragons, and is even more incomprehensible than the Great Red! My soul is warning me that if I show any hostility towards it, we will be utterly crushed in an instant!"

A look of shock flashed in Vali's eyes upon hearing Albion's warning.

But what followed was an irrepressible fervor and excitement.

An existence even stronger than the Great Red?

There are actually such unknown powerful beings in this world?!

For a man who pursues ultimate power and sees combat as everything, this is a more deadly temptation than any treasure!

"Really? If you can't even fight an opponent who instills fear in you, what's the point of living?"

Vali ignored Albion's warning, and the light wings on his back instantly shone brightly.

He looked down at Luo Chen, a haughty smile spreading across his face.

"Hey, you guys over there. You killed Kirkbor, didn't you?"

"I don't know where you guys came from, but since you were able to instantly kill that ten-winged fallen angel, it means you're very strong."

"I am Vali, the White Dragon King Vali. Come and fight me! Let me see just how powerful you really are!"

This statement came out.

Mordred, Scáthach, and the others, who had already put away their weapons, suddenly turned cold.

"How come there are so many idiots these days?"

Morgan le Fay opened his black parasol and glanced at Wally in mid-air, as if looking at a clown jumping around.

"Just because he's wearing a suit of shiny iron doesn't mean he's invincible. Arthur, should I break off his wings?"

"No need. Since he's here for me, I'll play along with him myself."

Luo Chen waved his hand, signaling the women to step back.

His hands remained in his trench coat pockets as he looked up, his crimson-gold vertical pupils silently fixed on Vali.

"You want to fight me?"

"Sure. But let me warn you, I usually go all out. If all you have to rely on is this iron suit, I'm afraid you won't last a second."

"Arrogant! Then let's see what happens!"

Vali roared, and the wings of light on his back burst forth with a dazzling blue light.

He transformed into a white meteor, carrying terrifying kinetic energy capable of tearing through the sound barrier, and plunged straight down towards Luo Chen!

"--Divide (reduce by half)!!!"

As Vali charged forward, the White Dragon Emperor's exclusive skill was activated.

That is a heaven-defying power that can touch and forcibly halve the opponent's power, while absorbing this halved power and converting it into one's own.

From Vali's perspective, no matter how vast Luo Chen's magic power is, as long as he is touched by [Divide] even once, his power will be forcibly halved.

In the course of continuous contact, the opponent will only become weaker and weaker, while you will become infinitely stronger.

That's what gives him the courage to challenge everything!

The white iron fist, imbued with violent magic, slammed fiercely towards Luo Chen's face.

however.

Luo Chen didn't even try to dodge.

He simply withdrew his right hand slowly, his five fingers casually spread, and gently blocked Valina's powerful punch.

"You're asking for it! My 'halving' is a conceptual stripping away of power!"

Vali sneered inwardly, his fist slamming solidly into Luo Chen's palm.

Om-! ! !

The moment the two forces collide.

The [Divide] command in the White Dragon Emperor system was activated instantly.

The blue aura followed Vali's fist, attempting to forcefully invade Luo Chen's body, analyze and strip him of his magic.

But next second.

Vali's smile beneath the mask froze completely.

"What's going on?!"

The system did not provide any feedback.

No power flowed into his body, and that "weakening feeling" that was always invincible did not appear at all!

Within Luo Chen's body, the energy source, perfectly fused with the [100% Crimson Dragon Furnace Core] and the [Third Star Particle Body], was like a vast, boundless universe.

Vali's "Divide" command is like a drop of water trying to dilute an entire ocean.

Even more terrifying is that the magical attribute within Luo Chen's body is **"infinite"**.

"You want to divide 'infinity' by two?"

Luo Chen looked at Vali, who was standing close by and looked completely bewildered, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

Who taught you math?

Click!

A sickening cracking sound rang out.

To Vali's horror, he discovered that his right arm, covered in white armor, was beginning to groan under the seemingly casual grip of Luo Chen!

"Albion! What's going on! Why can't I absorb his power?!"

Vali screamed wildly in his mind.

"I warned you already! Retreat!! That man's concept is 'total authority'! Our laws are completely ineffective against him!!!"

Arubion's voice had turned into a desperate roar.

"retreat?"

Luo Chen's gaze suddenly turned cold.

"It's too late."

Luo Chen exerted a slight force in his right arm, without using any fancy magic, simply relying on pure, extreme physical mass.

"Get down here."

boom!!!

Luo Chen grabbed Vali's arm and swung him around like a weightless rag doll, sending him flying halfway through the air before slamming him hard onto the playground below!

This tremor was more violent than any before.

The ground of the entire Kuoh Academy churned like ocean waves, and a terrifying meteorite crater, over thirty meters in diameter and several meters deep, instantly took shape.

"Waaaaaahh ...

Vali let out a piercing scream.

His prized White Dragon Emperor Armor, which was said to be able to withstand god-level attacks, shattered inch by inch the moment it touched the ground, just like fragile porcelain!

The blue wings of light dissipated instantly, and his chest armor was shattered by the enormous impact, with countless fragments piercing into his flesh.

Just one strike.

There were no fancy energy blasts, nor any earth-shattering Noble Phantasm releases.

It's just a very ordinary "over-the-shoulder throw".

Vali Lucifer, hailed as the strongest White Dragon Emperor of all time, was smashed into the mud, his blood staining the bottom of the pit, and he completely lost his ability to fight.

"call……"

Luo Chen loosened his grip and patted away non-existent dust from his palm.

He looked down at the young man at the bottom of the pit, who was still twitching weakly, his tone flat and without a trace of emotion.

"It's good that young people are energetic, but when you're out in the world, you'd better keep your eyes open first."

"In this world, not everyone is someone you can use to 'test your sword'."

Dead silence.

Whether it was Rias and the others, or certain familiars observing from the shadows, everyone was now in absolute silence.

If the previous instant kill of Kirkbor was due to a difference in strength, then now, by overwhelming the White Dragon Emperor who had activated the God-Slaying Tool with his bare hands, and even completely nullifying the opponent's [halved] power...

This goes beyond being described as simply "powerful".

This is a dimensional reduction attack; this is grinding the fundamental laws of this world into the ground!

"Lord Luo Chen..."

Rias swallowed hard, her legs feeling weak as she stepped forward.

"Was Valita...dead?"

"He's not dead, he's still breathing."

Luo Chen turned around, not even bothering to look at the bottom of the pit again.

For him, opponents of this caliber were not even worthy of making him sweat.

He looked at Rias and said calmly.

"Notify Azazel to send men to take this pile of junk back."

"If the Fallen Angels are dissatisfied and want to avenge him, they are welcome to come to me anytime."


"Let's go, it's been a long night, time to go back and get some late-night snacks."

Watching that tall, straight figure gradually disappear into the night.

Rias Gremory took a deep breath.

She knew that starting tonight, the entire underworld, the heavens, and the highest levels of the fallen angels would spend a sleepless night.

Because in this small town of Kuoh, there dwells an Absolute Demon King who can crush even the laws of nature with his bare hands.
