They assumed that these foreign demons, even if they were willing to help, would prioritize dealing with their own affairs.

But this man placed the king, whom they were complete strangers to, first.

"Your Mightiness……"

The Tengu leader opened his mouth, but it felt like there was a wad of cotton stuck in his throat.

The next second, he knelt on one knee, held the long-handled naginata horizontally in front of him, and bowed his head deeply.

"The yokai of Kyoto are willing to obey your commands!"

Behind him, dozens of monsters knelt down on one knee in unison, their movements perfectly synchronized.

"We are willing to serve you!"

The shouts of loyalty, as loud as a mountain range, echoed through the torii gate passageway.

Zhou Ye did not help them up.

"Tell me the topographical map of Nijo Castle, and all the information you have."

"Yes!"

The Tengu leader immediately handed over an ancient leather map and related information to Zhou Ye via demonic communication.

At this moment, the yokai forces of Kyoto officially became Zhou Ye's most loyal temporary ally.

……

Night fell, like a splash of thick ink, enveloping the entire ancient capital.

Nijo Castle, the symbol of Tokugawa Ieyasu's power, was now filled with an ominous atmosphere.

On a level unseen by ordinary people, a distorted, gray barrier isolates the entire city from the real world.

Zhou Ye and his group appeared silently outside the city gate.

Accompanying them were the Tengu leader and the five elite demons he had selected.

"This is it." The Tengu leader's expression was solemn. "This is the other-dimensional barrier set up by Georg, the second-in-command of the Heroic Faction, who wields the God-Slaying Tool [Mist of Annihilation]. Once you enter, you will be lost in the endless fog, and it is said that no one has ever been able to break through it from the outside."

His words were filled with apprehension.

"is it?"

Zhou Ye's response was understated.

He took a step forward and, under the astonished gazes of the demons, extended his right index finger.

There is no spell.

There is no magic circle.

There wasn't even a trace of magical energy fluctuation.

He simply made a light stroke in the void ahead.

stab-

A crisp sound, like cloth being torn apart.

The seemingly indestructible interdimensional barrier was ripped open with a dark crack more than a meter wide.

At the edge of the crack, fragments of the laws of space fell like shards of glass, then vanished into nothingness.

Zhou Ye casually withdrew his hand, as if he had simply pulled back an ordinary curtain.

"Let's go."

He went in first.

Rias, Akeno Himejima, and the others followed, as was their habit.

Only the Tengu leader and his men remained, their mouths agape, frozen in place.

This... they're already inside?

That's a barrier created by the God Destroyer Gear!

What kind of monster is this man!

As soon as everyone stepped into the other dimension, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.

The once ancient city has vanished, replaced by a distorted space shrouded in thick gray fog.

"Intruder!"

A sharp alarm sounded.

Dozens of figures rushed out of the thick fog, equipped with all sorts of modern weaponry, but in their hands they held divine artifacts that shimmered with an unusual brilliance.

"Fire!"

Without further ado, energy beams and enchanted bullets instantly intertwined into a deadly web, sweeping in from all directions.

"Humph."

Rias took a step forward, and crimson magic gathered in front of her.

But this time, it wasn't a raging energy ball.

Under her control, that destructive magic instantly split into thousands upon thousands of tiny needles, invisible to the naked eye.

"go."

The Needle of Destruction shot out, silently piercing through the energy barrage and accurately hitting each enemy.

There was no explosion, no screams.

Those heroic minions and familiars deflated instantly, like balloons punctured with countless holes, their souls completely erased by the power of destruction.

"Kiba!"

"Yes, Minister!"

Kiba Yuto's figure had already transformed into a phantom, and countless demonic swords of various shapes rose from the magic circle beneath his feet, charging into the enemy ranks like a swarm of sharks, stirring up a storm of blood and gore.

His creation of the demonic sword was several times faster than before, and its power was incomparable.

"Oh dear, I can't fall behind either."

Himejima Akeno wore a cunning smile, while blue lightning danced wildly around her.

The lightning was no longer merely pure destruction; it carried within it a sense of majesty and domineering power befitting a fallen angel cadre known as "Lightning."

boom!

A massive bolt of lightning descended from the sky, turning an area of ​​enemies, along with the ground beneath their feet, into charred remains.

The rigorous training in the "House of Time and Spirit" allowed the girls to experience a qualitative leap in their strength.

The cleanup was completed in a matter of moments.

Just then, a heavy footstep came from the depths of the thick fog.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Every step caused the entire alternate dimension to tremble.

A giant man, over three meters tall, wielding a massive axe that gleamed with a cold light, blocked the crowd's path.

The power emanating from him was powerful and violent, almost comparable to that of a high-ranking demon.

"Hero, Hercules."

The giant announced his name, his copper bell-like eyes sweeping over the crowd before finally locking onto Zhou Ye.

"Who is the strongest among you?"

"Come out and fight me!"

Everyone stopped moving.

Genovia and Kiba Yuto both gripped their weapons, ready to step forward.

However, someone no one expected stepped forward.

"I come."

Rias Gremory.

Her red hair moved without wind, and her blue-green pupils burned with an unprecedented fighting spirit.

"Rias?" Akeno Himejima asked, somewhat worried.

"My king is going to meet the king of the enemy."

Rias did not turn around; her body was covered with a thin, extremely solid layer of destructive magic.

"Leave the miscellaneous fish here to me."

She looked at Hercules, revealing the pride that belonged to the Gremory heir and to a pure-blooded high-ranking demon.

"Come on, big guy."

"Let me show you Gremory's destructive power!"

Zhou Ye watched the girl's resolute back and did not stop her.

He knew this was the battle she craved, the battle she was determined to prove she was no longer a burden.

His figure slowly faded away, like a drop of water merging into the air.

The next second, he had already traversed the entire battlefield and appeared at the very core of the other-dimensional space.

A huge Japanese altar.

In the center of the altar, the nine-tailed fox Yasaka was bound by countless golden energy chains, and all of his demonic power was being frantically drawn out and injected into a long spear at the top of the altar.

The gun, entirely yellowish-brown, exuded a sacred yet domineering aura.

A young man wearing a high-collared school uniform and glasses stood smiling beside the altar, holding the holy lance.

He had been waiting for a long time.

"I knew you would come, the anomaly of the world."

Cao Cao adjusted his glasses, showing no surprise on his face.
