Ch. 21

"Don't bother trying to bring it back," Xyrus said calmly.

"W-what did you do!" Cao Cao shouted in anger. It was not supposed to be like this, They were supposed to beat him and he will brainwash him to join them. He's not following the script he has in his mind.

"You're still naive." Xyrus shook his head before snapping his fingers.

Suddenly, Cao Cao felt a force pulling him towards Xyrus, and no matter what he did he can't stop the force.

And before he knew it, Xyrus's hand pierced through his chest while in Xyrus's hand is his still beating heart.

*Pu-Chik*

His hand grip Cao Cao's heart until it blew up into pieces, scaring the shit out of Jeanne, Georg, and Leonardo.

Of course, not without stealing his True Longinus first.

After he was done he looked at the rest and saw Georg walking toward him while shaking in fear.

Opening his dry mouth, Georg said, "W-we surrender." He said while shakingly raising his hand.

Xyrus just smiled calmly at this and walked towards Georg.

When Georg saw him walking towards him, many thoughts are running through his mind, What will he do? Will he kill me? Will he spare me? And many more.

But unexpectedly Xyrus just placed his two fingers at Georg's forehead and calmly said, "<Sleep>, <Memory Reduct>".

Suddenly, Georg closed his eyes and slept without a sound. When Xyrus saw that he was asleep, he edited his memories and removed all of his knowledge and anything related to the supernatural world, then he place fake memories to replace all his deleted memories after that he took his Longinus, and calmly portalled him back to his old apartment where he used to stay before he knew about the supernatural world.

Xyrus knew that he was a good man before he awakened his Longinus, he use to be a very intelligent student who dreams of attending Harvard someday until he awakened his Longinus, and he was then brainwashed by Cao Cao.

(This is an AU so his history is different from the real one.)

After that, he looked at Jeanne who shakes in fear when she saw him staring at her.

"I-I-I..." Jeanne stuttered.

"Surrender?" Xyrus finished.

When Jeanne heard that, she was about to nod but then a thought strikes her.

"I-I wish to join you!" Jeanne said before bowing her head until it hits the concrete floor.

Meanwhile, question marks just filled his face. This is unexpected. Maybe he should trust the time stone again and take a look into the future again so he will not be surprised anymore.

Shaking his head to clear his thoughts about it again, he stared at Jeanne for a few seconds.

'Maybe she could join my project "First Order" It is a group full of Sacred Gear users that is full-fledged loyal to him only, their task is to protect humans from the Supernatural world and eliminate corrupt politicians, be it a President, Vice President, Prime Minister and anything that is related to politics including some people with huge influences.' Xyrus runs his mind in just a second before looking at Jeanne again.

'I should test her loyalty first.' Xyrus said in his mind before speaking, "Sure, follow me." After he said that he opened a portal and gestured for Leonardo and her to follow.

After they're out of the portal, he explained the rules to Jeanne while also secretly reading her mind.

'I wonder if the food is good here.'

'I'm hungry.'

"..."

(Jeanne PoV)

I hope this time I could help humanity, during my time with Cao Cao I could sense that his goal to make humans the strongest is far from his real goal, I just feel like It's planning to conquer the world or something.

I hope this time, I'll not regret my decision and could finally protect humans.

(3rd PoV)

"I'll be going first, that'll be your rooms," Xyrus told them before walking away.

After they went to their rooms, they decided to sleep, this day has been hectic.

Meanwhile, Xyrus finally visits the Team Vali and when he came in he saw a familiar face who was just about to fight with a sorcerer, while the sorcerer was already in a fighting position.

(30 minutes earlier)

"Hey! Where's the Sorcerer Supreme! We've been waiting here for hours." Bikou shouted at the nearby sorcerers.

"Bikou, sit," Vali said while his eyes were closed.

"Hey, Val I'm not your dog," Bikou grumbled but he still did sit as he said.

A few minutes later, Bikou finally had enough and decided to break the door.

"I had enough of this!" He said before readying to swing his staff but suddenly a sorcerer appeared and intercepted his staff.

"No violence is allowed inside this room." The sorcerer said with a calm voice.

"Don't order me!" Bikou said while preparing his staff again while the sorcerer conjured a tao mandalas and that's when Xyrus came in.

(Present)

"Sun Wukong?" Xyrus called.

"You mean my grandfather?" Bikou said putting his staff over his shoulder.

"Ah, then you must be Bikou right?" Xyrus said while dismissing the sorcerer who just bowed before leaving.

"Yes! I-" Before Bikou could finish his sentence.

"My name is Vali," Vali said while looking at Xyrus.

"Yes, you must be a Lucifer right?" Xyrus said.

Vali looked pained when hearing what Xyrus said, he wanted to forget his past and kill that Old man so he could finally be free from the shackles of his past.

Vali nodded, while Xyrus could see his expression before but he just didn't care.

"Now then, may I know the purpose of your visit here?" Xyrus said, of course, he already knew their purpose here.

"Let's fight," Vali said while he could hear his partner's voice.

'Hey, Vali are you sure about this? Didn't I already tell you that we can't beat him?' Inside his soul, Albion, a white dragon spoke through Vali's mind.

'I know, but I just got this feeling that I'll become much stronger fighting someone stronger than me.' Vali replied.

'You battle junkie, don't say I didn't warn you.' Albion chuckled but he's not worried after he trusts his partner and the Sorcerer Supreme also spared him and Ddraig when they fought back then.

"Is that it?" Xyrus asks, and Vali just nodded.

Xyrus then sighed and proceeded to create a mirror dimension to teach this brat a lesson.

He just got out of a fight and now he's gonna fight again? Give him a break.
