Future

"I'm Cao Cao, the descendant of Cao Mengde and the disciple of Sun Wukong." Cao Cao introduced himself with a bow.

The Governor-General was surprised by this. Cao Cao? As in the Hero of Chaos from Three Kingdoms?

He looked at the Daiyoukai beside him and seeing him not saying anything, he decided to wave it off and ask later.

After introducing themselves, Azazel immediately urged the Hero Descendant to summon his Sacred Gear.

Although Cao Cao was aware of Azazel's eccentricity due to reading the light novels, he still looked to his teacher for permission.

Seeing his master nod, Cao Cao summoned his Sacred Gear, True Longinus.

"Unbelievable! To think that the Strongest Longinus would be here." Azazel uttered in shock.

He wasn't expecting that, not gonna lie. Although Sun Wukong mentioned that it is a Longinus, he thought that it would probably be a mid tier one, probably Regulus Nemea or something.

The True Longinus didn't cross his mind.

"You see now Azazel?" The Fallen Angel heard the Monkey King's voice.

He's right, this is indeed a big problem if it comes out, especially to gods.

Azazel didn't think that the first Longinus would be welcomed. Aside from Heaven and the Church, he wouldn't be surprised if Cao Cao would be hunted once his existence was found out.

"And a hero descendant eh? What a freak show." Azazel rubbed his goatee.

"Something you wanna tell us?" Sun Wukong asked. He could tell that the Fallen Angel wanted to say something.

"Mephisto will probably chase my ass but I already encountered a similar thing. A descendant of a famous magician and a Longinus user." The Governor-General spilled the beans.

Cao Cao perked up hearing that. If he wasn't wrong, that should be the future co leader of Hero Faction.

"The Chairman of Grauzauberer? Small world it is." The Monkey King furrowed his eyebrows.

"Yep, although I didn't meet the user face to face, Mephisto informed me and requested me for data about the previous users of his Longinus: Dimensional Lost."

That was him alright, the Dimensional Lost user of this generation, Georg. The descendant of Johann George Faust.

"What's the user's name?" The Monkey King inquired.

"Sorry geezer, that's far as I can tell." Azazel didn't say anything more.

Sun Wukong didn't care but for Cao Cao? This is enough, he has an idea how to gather members for his team in the future.

"Anyway, enough talking about other Longinus, the spear there might get jealous." Lightening the atmosphere, Azazel gestured at Cao Cao's hand.

"What should I do?" The hero's descendant asked.

He's not gonna reject Azazel's help. After all, this is one of the most knowledgeable beings relating to Sacred Gears.

It is a pity that his card is now revealed to him but the connection he'll gain should be enough to tip the scale.

"Honestly, not much kid. You can train until you reach Balance Break, but I never met a hero descendant that wields the Strongest Longinus." The Governor-General contemplated for a moment.

"I can, however, give you some data related to the past users. The True Longinus is one of the most mysterious Sacred Gears out there, even by Longinus standards, so I don't know how it would react to you." Azazel continued.

"What kind of training exactly?" Cao Cao leaned forward. Now that's interesting.

Azazel smirked, "Through life and death battle of course."

Silence. Although Cao Cao already knows that there's no easy way to achieve Balance Break, but a life and death battle? Let's talk about that later.

"Jeez, don't worry about it. I'm sure this geezer right here won't let you enter that level until you can fully defend yourself." The Fallen Angel assured him.

"So what do you say? This is just a suggestion so don't worry too much about it."

Cao Cao pondered his words.

"Can you wait for a few years? If possible I'd like to figure out my Sacred Gear by myself. No offense." He replied.

"None taken, but a few years huh? That's fair enough I guess." Although Azazel was a bit sad he can't study it now but hey, he has another reason to look forward to the future.

Cao Cao nodded and turned back to his guru, "Teacher, I would put my training into my martial arts and Senjutsu, please give me more advice." He bowed.

Azazel shrugged while Sun Wukong nodded and turned to face the former.

"No one gets a word of what happened here." Azazel nodded seriously at the Monkey King. The True Longinus was too famous, being a Holy Relic and the first Longinus, there'll bound to be trouble if its existence is revealed.

"If there's nothing to discuss, I'll take my leave. Although I didn't manage to study it, knowing that it is here is enough for me." The Governor-General waved at the master and disciple.

"I'll escort you back." With that, Azazel and Sun Wukong left, leaving Cao Cao alone in his thoughts.

"So when is he gonna find out?"

"He already knows." The Monkey King replied to the Fallen Angel.

"And he isn't doing anything? Now that's surprising." Azazel raised his brows.

"I couldn't get to Lord Indra's head but knowing him, it's probably not time yet for that kind of thing, or else he would pay a visit himself." Sun Wukong said mostly to himself.

They are talking about one of the Strongest Beings in the world. The Emperor of Heaven Indra, was known to have the power to read minds and even see the future, though it's not known to what extent but it's enough to deduce some important knowledge.

This is also one of the reasons why Azazel wasn't adamant on studying the Sacred Gear even though it was the True Longinus in front of him.

The risk of getting Sakra's wrath isn't worth it.

"I don't know if the kid is lucky to caught Sakra's eye or not." Azazel sighed. The Heaven Emperor was a figure no one would want to mess with, even from other factions.

His arrogance have made talking to him difficult

"Indeed, but even without that, if it's meant to happen, then it will definitely happen." The Monkey King said his wisdom.

"A descendant of a Chinese Warlord and got the attention of the God of War? I don't know what kind of bullshit this is." Azazel sighed once again. Forget it, he already got a lot from this visit. It's time to go back to his lab again for some tinkering.

Sun Wukong didn't say anything but inside, he agreed.

It is indeed ridiculous.
