"Hmph! White Dragon Emperor and Red Dragon Emperor—we were just thinking of finding you. I didn't expect you to walk right into our trap. PERFECT! We'll use you to test the power of Nereid Kyrie!"

Nyx sneered at Vali and his group.

"Even with Juggernaut Drive active, it's still affected this much—"

Erebus added, his expression confident, eyes blazing with fervor.

"If it continues to develop to the Juggernaut Drive level—controlling the Two Dragon Gods—and even that Dragon Phantom might not be impossible!"

"As long as we control the Two Dragon Gods and the mysterious Colossal Dragon, then the entire world will fall under our dominion!!!"

Tartarus roared with laughter, utterly ecstatic.

"A bunch of rats scurrying in the shadows—" Vali retorted coldly, listening to the three of them drone on.

"Controlling the Heavenly Dragons? The Two Dragon Gods? Even Hibari Kyoya? Don't overestimate yourselves." Lux added, mocking them relentlessly.

Vali and Lux had experienced the terrifying power of Hibari Kyoya firsthand.

In their eyes, Nyx and her cohorts were practically digging their own graves.

"We're not interested in a war of words. What we say is the truth!" Nyx responded calmly to their taunts.

"But from the looks of it, you seem to know the relationship between that Dragon Phantom and Hibari Kyoya quite well. In that case, after we capture you alive, we'll just interrogate you for the information!" Erebus interjected, his imagination running wild.

"Are you getting ahead of yourselves? You seem to have forgotten we're still here." Just then, the usually laid-back Dulio became completely serious.

For a moment, Angra Mainyu was actually at a disadvantage, forced back repeatedly by various attacks of raging fire and ice pillars.

Seeing Angra Mainyu losing ground, the other three Chief Gods prepared to join the fray and end the battle.

Just then, a magic circle appeared in the center of the battlefield, and then three figures revealed themselves.

It was none other than the leaders of the Three Biblical Factions:

Sirzechs, Michael, and Azazel.

"Yo~ Vali, we're not late, are we?!" Azazel grinned after surveying the battlefield.

"If you'd been any later, we would have been completely wiped out!" Vali, Lux, and the others retorted with dissatisfaction.

'Can't you see their injuries?! They were just a hair's breadth away from being finished.'

"But is it just the three of you this time?" Vali then asked Azazel, puzzled.

"I already sent someone to inform Kyoya of your message. Just in case, we came ahead first," Michael replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Vali and the others also felt relieved.

Subsequently, Maou Sirzechs looked at Nyx and the other three Gods, his tone grave.

"Nyx, given the current situation, aren't you going to surrender?!"

Hearing this, the expressions of Nyx and the other Gods turned somewhat gloomy.

They hadn't expected Vali to have called for reinforcements.

And such powerful reinforcements at that.

Michael, Azazel, and Sirzechs.

"Hmph! Sirzechs, you think you're the only ones with help? How naive!" Nyx sneered cryptically, then looked towards a certain spot and spoke in a low voice.

Hearing this, Sirzechs and the others frowned, a bad premonition welling up in their hearts.

Just as they were about to question her, a misty ripple appeared.

Then, a gap appeared in the barrier enveloping the area, and a figure walked over at an unhurried pace.

"Nyx, you're in quite a pathetic state!"

"Rizevim! Why is a bastard like you here?!" The moment Rizevim appeared, Vali's face turned extremely grim, his eyes filled with hatred.

"Rizevim?! He's joined forces with Nyx?!"

"This is trouble!"

Sirzechs and the others' faces changed drastically upon seeing the newcomer.

Originally, they had the advantage in both numbers and strength. But if Rizevim joined Nyx, the situation would definitely reverse.

Rizevim, as a Transcendent being, was immensely powerful.

His ability—[Sacred Gear Canceller]—could nullify the powers of Sacred Gears.

Therefore, Vali, Lux, and Dulio—the three Sacred Gear wielders—would be unable to unleash their original power. Azazel's artificial Sacred Gear would be similarly affected.

———

At this moment, Rizevim looked at Vali, his tone frivolous and cold.

"Vali, my dear great-grandson, you're still such a failure—just as boring and useless as your pathetic parents..."

Hearing this, Vali directly activated Juggernaut Drive and was about to charge forward. Fortunately, Lux and the others managed to hold him back. Otherwise, Vali would have been severely injured, if not killed, facing him.

Just as the tension was at its peak, the barrier suddenly shattered like glass, followed by a playful voice.

"Kyoya!!"

"It's Hibari Kyoya!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Sirzechs, Michael, Azazel, and the others all breathed a sigh of relief, pleasantly surprised.

Since I was here, they were completely at ease!

"YO! It seems everyone I wanted to meet has finally arrived. Saves me a lot of trouble."

I slowly walked to the center of the battlefield, glanced at Vali and his group, then used [Outer Alchemic] to heal their injuries.

"Whew~ Thanks, Kyoya." After their injuries were healed, Vali, Lux, Arthur, Dulio, and Bikou expressed their gratitude.

"Well~ Kyoya, since you're here, you can handle them. We'll just watch from the sidelines, alright?!" Azazel also grinned, preparing to slack off and enjoy the show.

"..."

———

Simultaneously, the moment I appeared, the faces of Rizevim and the others turned extremely grim.

They knew quite a bit about me; my track record was terrifyingly impressive.

"DIE! Hibari Kyoya!" Seeing my back turned to them, Rizevim seized the opportunity and launched an attack without hesitation.

A terrifying beam of dark purple magic light shot towards me with lightning speed.

I was instantly hit, and an explosion of mist erupted.

Witnessing this scene, everyone was stunned.

They hadn't expected Rizevim to launch a sneak attack. The scene fell into silence.

Rizevim, however, knew clearly that his attack wouldn't cause me much harm.

Hibari Kyoya had withstood the full-power attacks of the Two Heavenly Dragons and Fenrir completely unscathed; his attack was nothing in comparison.

Therefore, his true purpose for this sneak attack wasn't to kill me, but to use the smoke as cover for escape.

"Get ready to retreat! We're no match for him!" Rizevim quickly warned Nyx and the other Gods, preparing to flee.
