Cao Cao -The wielder of the Holy Spear of Twilight!
"Hu!~~~"
Exhaling gently, Su Yang opened his eyes and found Ophis staring at him intently. Unlike her usual calm demeanor, her eyes were now full of interest.
She felt her purpose for coming to the Human World had been achieved.
"You... aren't human?" Ophis asked Su Yang.
"Ahem, I still consider myself human," Su Yang replied quietly. Though he had gained the avatars, he hadn't acquired divine status; he was still human.
"Will you help me reclaim the original tranquility? If you agree, I can fulfill any wish." Ophis placed the panda beside her skirt, asking seriously.
"I'd like to help you, but it's probably not possible right now." Su Yang knew his situation well. He could use the power of the ten avatars to defeat high-level demons but at a great cost.
"Why?" Ophis tilted her head, confused.
"Because I'm still growing. Despite the power of my avatars, my strength is limited." Su Yang shook his head. The strength of the avatars depended on his own strength. His body was still at the level of a lower-level demon.
"Okay, so will you help me?" Ophis asked again.
"If you're willing to help me, then I'll help you." Su Yang continued to stroke Ophis's black hair.
"Okay, I'm willing to help you. What do you want me to do? I'll do anything to reclaim the original tranquility." Ophis slightly tilted her head, unconsciously saying something quite powerful.
"I want you..."
Just as Su Yang was about to say "I want you to protect me," a spatial fluctuation occurred.
"Sorry, Ophis, I'll talk to you next time. Someone's coming." Su Yang frowned. Due to his avatar's characteristics, he sensed the spatial fluctuation and felt it was unwise to stay by Ophis's side.
Fifth Avatar: Vamana the Dwarf!
Activate!
A divine dwarf figure instantly merged into Su Yang's body. With a light step, Su Yang crossed endless space, instantly disappearing from Ophis's sight.
"Wait... wait..." Ophis reached out her hands, showing a clear desire to keep Su Yang. This feeling was new to her.
"..."
Ophis gripped the space where Su Yang had been, a sense of longing in her heart. However, she could tell from the spatial fluctuation who had arrived. From the red mist emerged a boy wearing glasses.
Georg... a descendant of Faust, the legendary figure who made a pact with the demon Mephistopheles.
Next, a man carrying a holy spear on his shoulder slowly stepped out.
His name was... Cao Cao! The wielder of the Holy Spear of Twilight!
"Ophis-chan? Could you stop wandering around? As our boss, you should just stay in the usual place." Cao Cao sighed. What could he do about Ophis's habit of wandering off? He had to rely on Georg, the holder of the spatial Sacred Gear, to track her whenever she ran off.
"Okay..." Ophis nodded. She had just realized that the boy probably left because he didn't want to reveal himself.
"Alright, boss. We've played enough and got what you wanted. It's time to head back. Don't worry, we, as the descendants of heroes, will strive to achieve the great feat of defeating the True Red Dragon Emperor." Cao Cao spoke with a smirk. He noticed the panda plush in Ophis's hand. Ophis must have taken it with her powers. It was a small price for the shop owner to pay for having the Infinite Dragon God take something.
"..."
Ophis remained silent, her eyes reflecting a trace of nostalgia. Compared to Cao Cao, who vowed to defeat the True Red Dragon Emperor from the start, she found a boy to be more reliable. But now, according to the boy, he needed more time. However, she was willing to wait, as time meant little to her.
"Let's go, Georg. We're heading back."
At Cao Cao's command, Georg activated the Absolute Mist, enveloping all three of them.
"By the way, boss, did you see any powerful dragons, sphinxes, or giant fish while you were in the Japan?" Cao Cao asked casually. Only someone like Ajuka, who had perfected his mastery of formulas and arrays, could pinpoint Kuoh Town. Others could only predict the Japan.
"No..." Ophis replied blandly.
"Alright, our plans might change. Those Avatar seem to be on par with the True Red Dragon Emperor!" Cao Cao said, feeling a bit excited. As a descendant of heroes, he was born to achieve great feats! Surpassing all beings as a human was his obsession! Dealing with various deities, strengthening their forces, kidnapping key figures from major factions, and serving Ophis as their leader... he would use any method, righteous or evil, to achieve his ambition. Or perhaps, it could be called a dream.
Humans, naturally weaker than gods and Buddhas, could only become heroes by pushing their abilities to the extreme. The Hero Faction was a group of such individuals aiming to achieve great things.
---
As Cao Cao returned to the Hero Faction's base with excitement, Su Yang also returned home.
"Phew!"
Su Yang glanced towards Ophis's location. If possible, he wanted to ask her for a "snake" or something more powerful as a trump card for survival. But for now, he had no choice but to rely on himself.
"First, I need to get familiar with my power." When he fused with the power of the Ten Incarnations, some of the world's spiritual energy also entered his body, making him much stronger than before. Though he understood the essence and usage of the incarnations, he still felt the need to test them out for reassurance.
As he prepared to find a place to test his strength, two sounds rang out simultaneously.
"Knock, knock, knock!" Someone was at the door.
