The flames unleashed by the Incinerate Anthem were no ordinary flames. They not only burned with extreme heat but also brimmed with powerful purifying energy. 

For creatures like Devils, deemed inherently evil, these flames were the deadliest poison, capable of inflicting fatal wounds with just a touch.

With a Devil bloodline, Tenraku naturally benefited from the purifying power within the flames. In the blink of an eye, Tenraku's entire palm was charred black, the intense pain causing him to furrow his brow.

But did he think this would make him let go?

With a cold snort, a hint of irony appeared on Tenraku's face as he activated the power of the Holy Grail of the Secluded World - Sephiroth Graal.

The powerful healing energy quickly restored the injuries on Tenraku's hand, while the Incinerate Anthem unleashed more flames towards him. He fought fiercely on the offensive while continuously healing and defending.

Tenraku had plenty of methods to make the Incinerate Anthem submit, but sometimes he had a stubborn streak. He wanted to see how much turmoil a Longinus without even a host could stir up!

Even the powerful Longinus had extremely limited power when not attached to a host. The battle between the two continued for more than ten minutes, ending naturally with the failure of the Incinerate Anthem.

Unable to continue, the purple flames released by the Incinerate Anthem gradually dissipated.

"Without a host, your power is limited, isn't it, Incinerate Anthem?"

"Since you can't resist me, then submit to me and serve me!"

The Incinerate Anthem was a Longinus with self-awareness, so Tenraku was sure it could hear his voice. Without waiting for its consent, Tenraku began the fusion process. This time, the Incinerate Anthem did not resist anymore. 

It must have understood that resistance was futile, so Tenraku smoothly integrated the Tools that Destroy God - Longinus into his body.

A powerful surge of Spirit Power feedback emitted and Tenraku could clearly feel his power increasing once again. Although he had experienced this feeling countless times before, it still intoxicated him as ever!

Walburga, on the other hand, naturally witnessed everything and her mouth twitched involuntarily.

To think that the Red Dragon Emperor had subdued the Incinerate Anthem in such a domineering manner!

After suppressing his aura, Tenraku returned to his usual state. He snapped his fingers, and flames in the shape of crosses appeared in the air.

Although it was his first time using the Incinerate Anthem, the flames he produced were stronger than those produced by Walburga initially. Each flame contained extremely terrifying power.

As the new host of this Longinus, Tenraku naturally gained a lot of information about the Incinerate Anthem. What slightly surprised Tenraku was that the Incinerate Anthem also had some special attributes.

Before becoming a sacred relic by executing Jesus, the crucifix was simply a punishment tool, and the so-called crucifixion stand was just another term for an execution platform. 

What Tenraku extracted from Walburga's body was just a simple cross. According to the Incinerate Anthem's attributes, if a powerful soul could be captured and bound to the cross, the Incinerate Anthem could unleash even greater power!

"I'll give it a try when the opportunity arises..."

With another decent Sacred Gear acquired, Tenraku murmured to himself.

As the flames in the air dissipated, Tenraku sat on the nearby throne and snapped his fingers again, causing the chains binding Walburga's hands and feet to break.

"Walburga, let's discuss your situation now." Tenraku smiled and spoke with one hand propping up his cheek.

"Red Dragon Emperor, how do you plan to deal with me?" Shifting her hands and feet, Walburga's expression showed anxiety.

Although she considered herself a cold-blooded and daring demoness, facing the monstrous Red Dragon Emperor still made her nervous.

"Come here." Tenraku beckoned without directly answering Walburga's question.

With some hesitation, Walburga approached Tenraku, her heart increasingly tense.

"Sit." Tenraku smiled and said while patting his lap.

Blushing, Walburga cursed inwardly, "Shameless! Obscene! Sex Dragon Emperor!" Although she was reluctant, she ultimately chose to comply and obediently sat on Tenraku's lap...

She was a smart woman, so she knew she couldn't resist the Red Dragon Emperor at the moment. Instead of futile resistance leading to unnecessary suffering, it was better to temporarily submit and feign compliance, hoping for a chance.

Observing Walburga's reactions, Tenraku could guess some of her thoughts, but he didn't care. In the face of absolute power, all schemes were meaningless. This woman's fate was sealed from the moment he caught her, unchangeable forever!

However, although Walburga's fate was determined, Tenraku was not in a hurry. He wanted to slowly tame and train this woman, savoring the pleasure and enjoyment. After all, a high-quality tool and prey were not easy to come by.

"Walburga, now I'll give you two choices."

"The first, obediently submit to me, offer your body, soul, and loyalty to me, and serve me as my tool in the future."

"The second, resist me fiercely, then let me train and tame you. In the end, you will still become my tool, offering your body, soul, and loyalty to me, to be used by me forever."

Stroking Walburga's hair, Tenraku said with a smirk.

But upon hearing Tenraku's two so-called choices, Walburga's face darkened completely.

The damned Red Dragon Emperor, you never intended to give me a way out, did you? Whether I submit obediently or resist desperately, you won't let me go. You want me to be your tool, don't you?!

Although she had heard about this guy's character and style and knew about the unfortunate situations of Katerea and Jeanne d'Arc, today Walburga personally witnessed it!

Suppressing her inner anger and shame, Walburga glared at Tenraku through gritted teeth.

"Is there no third option?!"
