Pandora, Authority

The Campione were supreme rulers because they were able to kill the gods and usurp their authority.

Campione is King because the power to kill gods is in their hands, they are able to dominate humans on earth.

They are Demon Kings, because of all the humans living on earth, no one is able to match their strength.

When Noah opened his eyes, he found himself in a white world shrouded in mist.

He was currently lying on the lap of a young girl with long purple hair braided into two with white ribbons, she was wearing a white dress with open shoulders.

Even though the girl had a youthful body and a face like a lolita, she exuded the charm that only a mature woman would have, which was a contradiction.

She seems to have settled down from the concept of women.

The girl tells an ancient story about a ritual that uses the killing of a god as a sacrifice to transfer the authority of the gods to a mortal, making them a Godslayer, a Campione. This ritual is referred to as Pandora's dark Christmas.

"Who are you?" Noah asked, even though he already knew the girl's identity, he still asked to avoid the girl's qualities, because the girl was the one who could decide whether he could become a Campione or not.

"I am the goddess of all women, Pandora. I am the mother of all God-killing,Campiones, so I am your mother, my seventh son," said the girl, Pandora answered Noah's question.

"You will be reborn as Campione, the Godslayer, King of kings, Campione"

Pandora said before kissing Noah's forehead.

After opening his eyes again, Noah found himself in the previous room of Lucretia's house and lying with Erica who was only wearing underwear sleeping beside him.

"My King, you are awake, do you want to eat first, wash first, or eat me?"

Seeing Noah wake up, Erica also got up and spoke in a teasing tone.

"Oh? Then, enjoy your meal"

Hearing this, Noah was not discouraged and immediately kissed Erica's red lips.

After a while, Noah finally separated the kiss from Erica's lips and left a silver thread connecting them.

"Don't think I'll act shy, but I'm not an innocent virgin," said Noah while coaxing Erica's seductive lips with his thumb.

"How long have I been unconscious?" Noah asked while changing clothes.

"You have been unconscious for 48 hours, my king" replied Erica as she got out of bed and put on her clothes.

"Just call me Noah, from now on you are my woman," said Noah while freezing Erica's red cheeks.

"Ara... really dominates, Noah," Erica said in a voice full of charm.

"Have you contacted Italian magic?" Noah asked directly, because he knew that Erica must have told them about the birth of the seventh Campione.

"I'm sorry I told them about you without your consent, Noah," said Erica apologetically.

"No need to apologize, sooner or later the news will spread. So what they said" Noah said lightly, because it was a trivial matter.

"They said they wanted to test your strength as king" Erica said without hiding.

Hearing Erica's answer, Noah felt unhappy because they treated him like a monkey in the circus.

With Noah's mood displeased, the sky in Sardinia darkened and it rained heavily.

"Tell them, let them choose in one week's time, don't think of playing me like a monkey who can play between their applause, or they will know the Campione's anger" said Noah with a cold expression.

It's not that Noah is being arrogant, but he doesn't want to be treated like Goudo in the anime, who was played with by them despite having the power in his hands.

He didn't need to do anything, and just his words and attitude were enough to silence them.

If he showed weakness, then it was certain that before long he would be played around by various magic associations.

As long as a Campione had a firm attitude, no one would mess with him, this was due to their fear of later campiones, after Marquis Vauban brought the Dalmatian port city of Zadar to the brink of destruction using his authority in the 18th century.

"Yes, my king" Erica changed her title when she found out Noah was in a bad mood.

Erica, nicknamed Diavola Rosa, is a smart person and knows when to be serious and when to joke.

"By the way, Erica, let's go for a walk around the city of Sardinia," said Noah to restore the atmosphere.

"Then wait a moment, I'll take a shower first," said Erica before walking to the bathroom.

"Noah, don't peek" said Erica with a mischievous smile like a fox.

Seeing Erica's behavior, Noah could only calm his head helplessly.

Erica's sometimes cunning, teasing, and serious personality was very charming to him.

After entering the bathroom, Erica did not immediately shower, but contacted her uncle to convey Noah's words.

"Uncle, the seventh King asked the Italian magic association to make a decision within one week, and don't think about playing small tricks, because this will displease the king, the king also said that if the Italian magic association plays any small tricks, then they will face the Campione's wrath" Erica said to her uncle Paul Blandelli on the other end of the phone.

"I see, I will convey the words to the Seven sisters" Paul sighed before saying.

Actually Paul didn't agree to test the strength of the seventh King, because he once fought against the Black Prince, Alex, so he knew how strong the Campione was.

Additionally, the black bronze Cross had been tied to the seventh King ever since Erica became the lover of the seventh King, Noah Vermilion.

After ending the call with Erica, Paul immediately contacted the other Seven Sisters members.

In a meeting room in Milan, Italy.

All the leaders of the Seven Sisters alliance had gathered since receiving the notification from Paul.

"That's what the seventh King asked" said Paul after explaining the situation to the other members of the Seven Sisters.

"We should quickly apologize to the seventh king," said Diana Milito, leader of the Naples Chapter of the Black Bronze Cross.

"We'd better contact the sword king for help" suggested the leader of the She-Wolves.

While the leaders of the Italian association were discussing, Noah and Erica were currently at a restaurant in Sardinia.

"By the way, Noah, what authority did you take from Verethragna?" Erica asked when they finished eating.

"I gained the authority of the Incarnation of Goat, Youth, Ram, Warrior, White Stallion and Gale" Noah said without hiding, however, his power was not limited to authority.

"A lot? Are there any usage restrictions?" Erica was surprised to hear he had gained several authorities at once.

Each Campione would usually only gain one authority when killing a God. A Campione's gain of authority is usually influenced by a campione's personality, such as Salvatore Tony, much of the authority he gains is related to swords or enhancements.

If a Campione gains some authority, there will usually be strict usage restrictions such as Kusanagi Goudo which can only be used once a day and there are additional conditions.

As for Noah, maybe it was because he was influenced by Aeternum, which allowed him to gain some authority without any usage restrictions.

"Nothing, maybe it has something to do with my strength" Noah said without explaining further.

Seeing that Noah didn't explain further, Erica, who had a smart mind, naturally didn't ask.

"By the way Erica, help me find Melqart's location, he should recover in the next few days" while they were on their way back, Noah suddenly said to Erica.

"I understand, I will tell the black copper cross to look for it" Erica said seriously.
