Chapter 530 VS Hero Faction part 4

While he was enduring the pain, Cao Cao swung his spear towards his opponent as Kisuke decided to let him go. However, Kisuke already got what he wanted. Taking out a container, he put the eye inside and thought, ‘If this is really Medusa’s eye, then I’ll be able to create a suitable body for her. That way, she won’t have to depend on her Mana Body any longer.’

While holding his now empty eye socket, trying to keep his blood from flowing out, Cao Cao snarled at him while he was still on his knees, “You bastard…!!!”

After putting the eye away, Kisuke only gave Cao Cao a smile, “Hey now, I understand that you’re furious, but please also keep in mind that this was not yours and I only intend to return it to its owner.”

“…Owner? Impossible! Medusa is an ancient monster that had already perished long ago!”

“Whatever you say~.”

Feeling humiliated, Cao Cao decided to use his trump card, “O Spear. The true Holy Spear which pierces through God.”

“Suck the ambition of the King of Domination sleeping within me and pierce through the gap of blessing and destruction.”

“You. Announce the will, and turn into a glow.” Finishing his chant, the Holy Spear in Cao Cao’s hand started to glow in golden light.

At first, Kisuke intended to stop him, but strangely enough, he didn’t feel any threat from it so he took the gamble and waited for him to finish in order to figure out what’s going on.

Truth Idea, also known as the Brightness of Supremacy, was a forbidden form exclusive to the True Longinus which was similar to the Juggernaut Drive of the Two Heavenly Dragons.

However, instead of past processors of the True Longinus, the one who activated the Truth Idea was the ‘Will of the God of the Bible’. Although it would also lead to the user going berserk, unlike the simple power-up that the Juggernaut Drive gave, Truth Idea’s effects depended on God’s will in the Holy Spear itself. It would absorb the wielder’s ambition and, by responding to how strong the opponent was, it would create many effects and miracles which would be different, depending on what the will chose, such as granting an absolute power to destroy the opponent or a blessing to the opponent to capture their hearts.

But to Cao Cao’s surprise, the golden light receded and the Holy Spear didn’t do anything. Truth Idea didn’t activate, and it became neither of the only two possible scenarios. The spear didn’t absorb Cao Cao’s will, nor did it give its blessing to Kisuke, “W-what is this!? It doesn’t know what to do!? How is that possible!?”

An unexpected result for Cao Cao, but also an understandable one if he knew the real reason. Although Kisuke was born in this world, he did not originate from it. The miracle of the God of the Bible was only limited to his knowledge, and for someone like Kisuke, as a ‘will’ that only remained, it didn’t know what ‘miracle’ it should give to Cao Cao to defeat him.

“Although it failed, that move sure is threatening. I only took the gamble on letting you finish it because I couldn’t feel any threat from it. I guess I’m lucky?”, muttered Kisuke.

Nonetheless, Cao Cao couldn’t respond to him as he kept staring at his spear and repeatedly asked, ‘Why?’ If the spear had chosen to give its blessing to Kisuke, he could have accepted it as him not being worthy of the spear, but as someone who liked to figure out anything, it opened a large void in Cao Cao’s mind.

Georg had already woken up from his short slumber, and despite his injuries, he tried his best to use Dimension Lost to escape with everyone.

‘Hmm… Now then, what should I do with them? For starters, let’s capture them.’, thought Kisuke as he took a step forward towards Cao Cao, except, he couldn’t take the second step because he intercepted a long staff with his blade.

Kisuke then looked towards a small old man wearing a monk’s cassock and shades with a cyber design while smoking a pipe with his free hand, “To whom do I owe the pleasure?”

Vali, who had been watching everything unfold, muttered, “First Generation…”

“Kid, let this old man be in debt to you and let go of these troublesome brats.”, said Sun Wukong.

Kisuke did an initial observation of the old man and roughly figured out how strong he was, ‘Fighting him would be more troublesome than letting these guys go. I already got something out of them, so I don’t really care anymore. Also, having this old man in debt to me may prove useful in the future.’

Kisuke then shrugged his shoulders and took a step back.

Blowing out smoke from his mouth, Sun Wukong tapped the ground with his staff and the Dimension Lost’s effect strengthened. A few seconds later, Cao Cao, Georg, Jeanne and Hercules disappeared.

“Are you fine with that?”, asked Vali towards Kisuke.

But instead of answering him, Kisuke smiled at Sun Wukong and said, “You owe me one, First Generation-san~.”

“Just go easy on these old bones. I won’t do anything unreasonable.” Sun Wukong chuckled at the swift resolution of the situation, “If you’re worried that they’ll just get away with nothing, be not. They’ll receive an appropriate one after this mess.”

“Then I assume Sakra will be the one meting out the punishment?”, asked Vali.

“You could say that,” replied Sun Wukong. He looked towards Kisuke and then to Ophis, “But what a surprise, this is the first time I’ve seen the Dragon God so close with someone. Makes me glad I got these old eyes to witness it.”

Kisuke grinned, “It’s nothing special. I just got a new resident~.”

It was then followed by Ophis’ words, “I’m going home, monkey.”

Behind Sun Wukong’s shades, his eyes widened as he started laughing out loud, “Fuhahaha~! Isn’t that nice? I guess I should give you some congratulatory gifts. However, I don’t think that He would be too happy with this development.”

“Sakra, is it?”, wondered Kisuke.

“Indra.” Sun Wukong then started walking away, “Be careful around him, boy. You’re such a promising lad. It would be a shame if he decided to crush you.”

To his leaving back, Kisuke replied, “Now that’s scary~. I’ll avoid him like plague then~.”

“Well, if it’s someone as unconventional as you, then you’ll be fine.” Sun Wukong then teleported away.

After he disappeared, Kisuke turned to Vali and asked, “So? Who’s that old guy?”

Vali’s mouth twitched at his question, ‘You talked to him like you knew each other for years yet you don’t actually know him?’ Vali then shook his head and answered, “The First Generation Monkey King. Also known as The Great Victorious Fighting Buddha. He’s a God that is currently working under Indra, one of the current leaders of the Hindu Mythology Faction and also one of the most powerful beings in the world.”

“Is that so? Well, if he doesn’t pick a fight, that’s fine.”

Soon after, the evacuation of the citizens of the Underworld Capital, Lilith, was completed and the Gremory team along with Sakura and Cleria returned to Kisuke and Vali.

“Where’s Cao Cao and the rest of the Hero Faction?”, asked Issei, intending to help Kisuke to deal with them.

Vali pointed at Kisuke and answered with a smile, “This guy sent them crying. I don’t think that they’ll be messing with him in the near future.” Remembering what happened earlier, it made Vali want to fight Kisuke. But then again, he recalled the trouble after fighting him last time and he thought that the trade wouldn’t be fair.

“N-no way… Seriously? Him alone? Who is he? He’s not some faction leader, right? But even then, only leaders of big factions can face them.”, murmured Rossweisse.

Scratching his head, Kisuke replied, “Iya~. They were truly a strong bunch~. I had to use so many of my tricks to fend them off.”

‘If they were strong for you, then why do you look virtually the same as when you came earlier!? You even had Ophis on your shoulders this entire time!’, was what everyone retorted in their mind, but they didn’t dare to voice this out. However, thanks to Kisuke, a little bit of pride they had for being known as the strongest amongst the young Devils disappeared.

But instead of them, the one who retorted to Kisuke’s words was Ophis, “But I am stronger.”

Kisuke chuckled and said, “Yes, yes, you’re stronger than them, alright? After all, no matter how much I moved, you didn’t fall off.”

“Do it again,” demanded Ophis.

28th00: Medusa-chan is getting a physical body again! Good for her, she truly deserves it. I bet Kisuke can get her sisters some bodies after working off Medusa’s dna for them too. Phis-chama demands you go faster! Sun Wukong absolutely put it together that Ophis gained a home, and he’s pretty happy about that too! He’s strong and old enough to actually know how Ophis thinks and sees the world, so he’d get the significance of that tidbit being incredibly important. But seriously, give her that ride Mr. Hat, she has your hat hostage!

Alexander: ‘Absolute confidence while knowing nothing’, would be a free translation of a german saying that I thought of while reading about his conversation with Old Sun.
