EPHS-CHAPTER 352 THE WILL OF THE GODS

Their vision blurred and the three Cao Cao in the misty world huddled together, extremely vigilant. The troublesome gravity, the exaggerated Light Arrows— thinking back to the previous battles, Cao Cao couldn't help but wear a grim expression.

Tenraku always uses the Sacred Gears of his own comrades against them, and now, once again, he was pulled into this misty world by Georg's Sacred Gear. It was intentional; that bastard must have done it on purpose!

"Cao Cao!"

A thunderous voice rang out in the surroundings, and the three Cao Cao suddenly looked up. In the sky, a disproportionately gigantic face had appeared, and it was none other than that guy, Kamiya Tenraku!

"Palm Strike!"

Tenraku's giant face grinned, and then an equally enormous hand appeared and descended towards the three Caos.

"Break Down!"

Golden light enveloped them as two of the Cao Cao swiftly dodged, while one charged upwards. Like the rising sun, the indomitable Holy Spear directly pierced a hole in the giant palm.

But—

Hōng Lóng!!!

A deafening roar resounded and the entire misty world trembled. The Cao Cao charging upward was directly crushed into pieces by the giant hand, leaving no trace behind!

"HāHāHā…"

"Two More Palm Strikes!"

Tenraku laughed heartily, and instantly, two more enormous hands materialized in the air. The surviving Caos' eyes widened in panic. There would be no way out if those hands came down on them!

"Open!"

Facing life and death crises, the two Cao Cao madly activated the Spirit Qi within them. Their Holy Spears emitted magnificent rays of light, dispelling the thick fog around them. Then, in a flash, they appeared in the outside world, finally escaping from the misty world.

Pale-faced, they gasped for breath, but before the two Cao Cao could relax—

"It's not over yet!"

Tenraku's voice echoed in their ears again. Then the two Cao Cao saw the battered Warrior Giant wielding its massive right fist, smashing down toward them. Despite the unfavorable situation, with the support of "[Prank of the Giant – Variant Detonation]," Tenraku could still smash them like a mountain!

Their hair stood on end, feeling the threat of death once again. One Cao Cao flashed, his warspear held horizontally to shield the other Cao Cao.

Hōng Lóng!

"Ah!!!"

Another earth-shattering roar resounded in the area, and a dazzling fireball exploded in the air. The Cao Cao who had shielded the other was directly turned into a mist of blood by the giant fist, while the one behind him was sent flying like a shooting star, creating a huge crater thousands of meters away.

"Sii!"

Struggling to stand up, Cao Cao couldn't help but spit out a few more mouthfuls of blood. Up to this point, two of the three Caos created by "Gahapatiratana (Householder Treasure)" had been obliterated, and the last remaining one was critically wounded!

Without further attacking, Tenraku activated his Spirit Qi to repair the Warrior Giant's injuries. The gap in its abdomen was filled, the crushed left arm regrew, and even the half-blown head quickly returned to its original state.

Thump, Thump, Thump…

The ground trembled, and under Tenraku's control, the Warrior Giant strode towards Cao Cao.

"Cao Cao, do you want to continue?" Looking down from above, the Giant's mouth emitted Tenraku's voice.

"Cough, cough… This time, I'm truly pushed to a dead end."

"Kamiya Tenraku, now I'll use my final and strongest power, unleashing 'Brightness of Supremacy – Truth Idea' from 'True Longinus'!"

His war spear was held horizontally, and Cao Cao's eyes flickered with an unprecedented determination.

Using "Brightness of Supremacy – Truth Idea" in his current condition might lead to his death, but he had no choice. He had to use it, for the sake of facing this man before him!

"Come, Cao Cao. Let me witness the power of the legendary Spear."

"Today, no matter how you struggle, I will defeat you. I want to make you acknowledge your defeat!"

Although he could easily prevent Cao Cao's actions, Tenraku chose not to. Cao Cao had his perseverance and determination, and Tenraku had his own pride. Cao Cao was an opponent he recognized but by no means his only opponent.

In the future, he would face even more terrifying and powerful enemies. However, no matter how formidable they were, Tenraku would not back down!

This battle had reached its final moments. Roygun and the women watching from afar couldn't help but hold their breath, and even Grayfia's usually cold eyes finally flickered with light. Under everyone's gaze, Cao Cao began to chant the sacred incantation:

"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.!"

Trembling and humming, an incomparably sacred light radiated from the Holy Spear. At the same time, a massive amount of Spirit Qi surged forth as if it could no longer be contained!

'What a vast and immense power!' Tenraku's hands trembled with excitement as he looked at this scene. With this Holy Spear, he could definitely step into the realm of a transcender! However, before taking possession of this Sacred Gear, Tenraku needed to do one thing—

He needed to defeat this man named Cao Cao!

Under Tenraku's control, the Warrior Giant clenched its right fist, and then, its entire arm burst into flames of black and white.

The white flames were the ability of the Sacred Gear "Hands of White Flame," while the black flames were the Flame of Curses from the "Black Evil Dragon King" Vritra.

The momentum on both sides had reached its peak. Cao Cao thrust his Holy Spear, and the Warrior Giant swung its giant fist—

"Kamiya Tenraku!"

"Cao Cao!"

Time seemed to slow to an infinity. The Holy Spear clashed with the giant fist in mid-air.

Then—

The radiance on the Holy Spear instantly dispersed the black and white flames on the giant fist!

In a vast display of sacred power, a torrent of golden light surged forth from the tip of the Holy Spear. It raced along the giant fist and arm, then rushed into the crystal on Giant's forehead, heading straight for Tenraku!

"Ahhhhh!!!!"

Countless bloodstains exploded all over, accompanied by anguished screams. Tenraku let out a cry of extreme pain! True Longinus was the legendary Holy Spear that slew Jesus, imbued with the will of the God of the Holy Bible.

"Brightness of Supremacy – Truth Idea" was the liberation of True Longinus' true power, manifesting the will of that legendary God!

Rampant Spirit Qi tore at Tenraku's body, while the sacred will assailed his soul! It was an unprecedented crisis, and Tenraku could feel it. If he couldn't withstand this strike, both his body and soul would vanish completely from this world!

In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person, leading a life devoid of any excitement. There was no overwhelming darkness, and no so-called radiance. It was just a quiet existence, like stagnant water. He didn't want to be like that again!

In this life, he vowed to experience the brilliance of the world, to stand at its pinnacle, and to pursue his freedom and ambition! Regardless of whether it was God or the Devil, no one would stop him! He didn't want to fall here, and he absolutely wouldn't!

"Get out of my way!!!!"

With a thunderous roar, the sea of Belief in Tenraku's spiritual world roared and surged. A torrent of golden light rose to resist the sacred will. At the same time, the colossal "Sacred Demon Scripture" radiated brilliantly, greedily drawing in the power of Belief from the other end of the golden thread…

—

"Asia San, thank you for your healing."

"Asia San, you're like an angel."

"Asia San…"

In a certain area behind the battlefield, Asia was tirelessly using her abilities to treat the wounded who had been brought down. Although she was sweating profusely, the young girl showed no signs of impatience.

The devils being healed were deeply moved, feeling that the kind-hearted Asia San was like an angel. No, she was even better than an angel!

"Tenraku-San…"

Suddenly sensing something, Asia's face turned pale.

"Asia San, what's wrong?"

A devil beside her noticed Asia's abnormality and immediately asked with concern. There was no time to explain to the other party. Asia knelt down and placed her hands on her chest, emitting a sacred radiance…

—

"Xenovia!"

On the battlefield, Irina and Xenovia were battling the Hero Faction's Demonic Emperor Sword Siegfried. Irina suppressed him with Excalibur and then shouted to Xenovia.

"Understood!"

Leaping up, Xenovia raised Durandal high. With a flash of cold light, she instantly severed Siegfried's left arm along with two Hands of the Dragon – Twice Critical.

"Ah!!!"

Siegfried let out a scream and quickly distanced himself from the two, then used magic to seal his wounds.

With their momentum soaring, the two girls were preparing to press their advantage. However, Xenovia suddenly paused, and then released her grip on Durandal. She knelt down on the ground and closed her eyes:

"Holy Lord-sama…"

"Xenovia, what are you doing?!"

"Ahhhhh, that guy got away!"

—

In a certain room in the Human World, which was reminiscent of the Warring States era, the increasingly radiant and holy Susan was bestowing the "Gods and Demons Scripture" upon several other girls.

"Susan, are you really a believer of the Lord Gods?"

"Sob… Lord God is so cool!"

"Let me see, let me see!"

Seeing that several of them were captivated by the majestic figure of the Holy Lord-Sama, a slight smile appeared at the corner of Susan's mouth.

These girls were Susan's classmates from school, carefully selected by Susan to become believers of the Holy Lord-sama, receiving His love and teachings.

"Everyone…"

Just as she was about to say something to the girls, Susan's expression suddenly changed. She knelt down on the ground, her hands pressed against her chest, emitting a devout expression:

"Holy Lord-sama…"

"Huh, Susan, are you praying to your Lord Gods?"

"Ah, look, Susan is glowing!"

At the same time, similar scenes were unfolding all over the world…
