"What exactly is your purpose?"

Sazex, who had barely managed to half-kneel up from the side, gritted his teeth and asked the question.

"If you clearly have this power, why make things so complicated..."

His judgment was wrong from the start.

Although he already knew that Jibril was very fast, even if she wasn't as fast as him, she should still be within the range of a Demon Lord level being able to react and respond—that was Sazex's original assessment.

But that's not actually the case at all.

He and Indra could indeed barely keep up with each other's pace, but that doesn't mean others could.

The battle had only been going on for three seconds, and besides the enemy, only he and Indra were still standing.

This is because the other party was just playing around.

One-third... or even more than one-half the speed of light?

This speed is still taking into account the fact that the opponent must maintain flexibility and frequently change direction. If it were to really charge in a straight line, Sazex couldn't imagine how fast the opponent could burst out.

Even after unleashing Sazex's trump card and revealing his true form—pure destructive magic—he ultimately couldn't withstand the ferocious onslaught.

Even if they could barely resist in terms of strength, their very essence was penetrated in an incomprehensible way.

With speed, strength, and special abilities, plus the four hundred winged beings he brought, it wouldn't be a problem for him to easily crush the entire demon and fallen angel realm.

Even so, the reason for making things so complicated...

"Don't you understand? My Lord has no interest in destroying you. Destruction is meaningless. What my Lord wants is everything you have. So, there's no reason for you to destroy what you own, is there?"

Sazex gritted his teeth again at Jibril's condescending words.

Indeed, at this point, there seems to be only one path left...

After all, it was agreed upon from the beginning.

"Ah, but before that..."

However, before the Demon King could speak again, Jibril suddenly smiled, so slightly that if this were not a space set up by a demon, Sazex would not have been able to detect the spatial fluctuations that also appeared at the same time.

Three figures emerged from the spatial fluctuations.

However, to be precise, there should be four people.

Hyoudou Issei's eyes widened when he saw the girl who was unconscious and being held in the arms of one of the figures.

"why……"

"Lady Jibril, the task you assigned me has been completed."

With his signature silver hair and red eyes—the wings of God—he spoke respectfully.

"Thank you so much for going through all this trouble, making you go out of your way to come all this way."

"No, since they're all in the Underworld, it's easy to find them using Lady Jibril's coordinates."

"That's wonderful! Let's skip the small talk and get right to the fun!"

Jibril's eyes flashed with a cold light, and she revealed a dangerous smile.

“—Kill him.”

"Yes!"

As the girl with the wings of the gods obeyed without any emotion, crimson magic was unleashed, transforming into a deadly torrent capable of destroying everything, sweeping towards the three wings of the gods.

Before that, one of the divine wings had already blocked the path of this destructive torrent.

"stop!"

The one who unleashed this attack—Sazex—roared in a rare display of anger, losing his composure.

But that couldn't change what happened next.

The next moment, the white light collided with the torrent, and at the same time, red blood splattered out.

It was a bright red that matched the color of her hair.

"you……"

Hyoudou Issei's mind went blank.

"What...what have you all done?!!"

A magical force, countless times more powerful than the destructive torrent, erupted forth, instantly tearing apart the space constructed by the demon.

At the same time, this fluctuation also shocked the entire world.

That is a force that does not conform to the laws of this world.

The dream finally began to collapse at this moment.

……

……

"Ok?"

The dragon goddess girl, who was in the middle of the battle, paused for a moment.

"What's wrong? Aren't you going to keep dodging?"

With a chilling roar, a powerful mental surge instantly crushed the location where Orpheus was standing.

However, before that, Orpheus had already disappeared from the spot.

"I sensed something interesting, didn't I? Akane sensed it too, didn't he?"

"So what? As long as I kill you here, it'll all be over."

As the one being questioned, Chi snorted with a somewhat displeased expression.

Then, the energy fluctuations released by the sun in the sky once again covered the location where Orpheus was.

Orpheus dodged again.

It was less of a battle and more of a one-sided attack by one side and a one-sided evasion by the other.

Red's fighting style was somewhat unexpected by Orpheus.

I originally thought it would be an elegant mode of gradual planning, but I never expected it to be like this, recklessly charging forward with overwhelming force.

However, it is not entirely useless.

Even if she avoided the most superficial attacks, the true 'dream' was constantly eroding Orpheus.

This space is less an illusion for Orpheus and more a dream where Aka's wishes come true.

Attacking Aka here is pointless, because any physical attack will be rendered illusory by Aka's power.

Even if Chi only uses illusory or non-existent attacks, they can eventually transform into a tangible form that is effective against Orpheus.

Rather than saying that even if it actually harms or kills Akane, it would just be a dream to her.

It can be said that in this field, Chi is basically invincible.

The reason we still can't defeat Orpheus is simply because the erosion of the dream is not yet sufficient to completely transform her into a part of this dream.

Orpheus's strategy was the same; his original method of victory was to delay until everything in the world came to an end.

This is a battle of speed between the two sides.

"I see……"

The dragon goddess girl murmured softly to herself.

Orpheus could have won simply by delaying the battle, but his opponent managed to steer the situation in a way that would have been advantageous to him even if he had to delay.

Moreover, unlike Orpheus who relies on his own followers, Orpheus still has the possibility of manipulating things himself, and the true nature of this dreamlike world has not yet been fully analyzed.

Although the advantages did not disappear, they evolved into a situation where the disadvantages for Orpheus would only increase as long as the situation dragged on.

Unfortunately, the other party didn't understand one thing.

Orpheus didn't shatter this dreamscape simply because stalling for time was easier than demonstrating his strength and engaging in a real, head-on battle.

It's never because it's impossible.

It's impossible to deal with her using such a 'gentle' approach.

"Ok?"

Chi raised his eyebrows slightly.

At the same time, cracks began to appear in this world.

Ultimately—

"Dreams are impossible to contain infinity."

As the dragon goddess spoke softly yet seemingly with immense weight, the dreamlike world peeled away layer by layer.

Chapter 423 The Holy Lance That Turned

Boom!

The violent impact shook the entire battlefield, as if the whole space was trembling.

The enormous aerial castle crashed down onto the top of the Uruk barrier, descending upon the battlefield.

The raging magic even suppressed the brilliance of the Spear of Judgment, and the entire angelic formation in the sky was shaken from side to side by the wind pressure.

The three-headed, six-winged evil dragon watched all of this.

"What a beautiful sight."

On the sidelines, Apep's remnant soul made an inappropriate comment amidst the chaotic battlefield of beams and cannon fire, witnessing the earth-shattering scene.

However, the three-headed evil dragon—Azdahaka—nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, it is very beautiful."

On either side of that magnificent floating garden, twelve silver-white wings of light slowly unfolded.

Perhaps this scene truly deserves the description of 'beautiful'.
