Chapter 147: Fascinating Power

"Juggernaut" is a power possessed by all Sacred Gears that contain sealed existences.

Although Kaiser's Divine Dividing did not seal the soul of the Heavenly Dragon, it had sealed the infinite power of the Dragon God—Ophis' "snake."

Thus, Kaiser's Divine Dividing naturally also possessed the power of "Juggernaut," enabling him to activate Juggernaut Drive.

However, at the very instant he activated Juggernaut Drive, Kaiser sensed a slight discrepancy.

"This feeling... seems somewhat different from Vali Lucifer's Juggernaut Drive."

As Kaiser perceived the power of "Juggernaut," the scorching golden patterns within his body started glowing, and he suddenly understood something as if through divine inspiration.

"That's right. My Divine Dividing and Vali Lucifer's are ultimately different."

"Under normal activation or Balance Breaker usage, it's not a problem. Due to sharing the same origin, their abilities and other aspects are basically the same; the only difference is their strength."

"But once the power of 'Juggernaut' is activated, the differences between them truly become apparent."

"Juggernaut" is a temporary, forced lifting of the Sacred Gear's seal, maximally unleashing the power of the sealed existence within.

Yet, the power sealed within Kaiser's Divine Dividing was not a Heavenly Dragon's soul—but rather, Ophis' "snake."

Even though both could activate the power of "Juggernaut," their fundamental difference would inevitably cause their Juggernaut forms to differ.

"My Divine Dividing's 'Juggernaut' shouldn't be like this..."

"It should be..."

"Like this..."

Kaiser closed his eyes, then abruptly opened them wide.

In the next second, Kaiser began chanting a brand-new incantation.

"'I, am the dominator—'"

"The one who seizes the untarnished dominion of the White Dragon—"

"With infinity in my grasp, I command the fabric of dreams—"

"I shall reign as the ultimate Dragon God—"

"I shall cast you into the abyss of nothingness—!"

This incantation no longer felt as ominous; instead, it was filled with serenity, emptiness, and ethereal tranquility.

The chant was mysterious and majestic, lacking the original dominance yet inspiring even greater awe.

After reciting this incantation, the pure white aura erupting from Kaiser's body like a volcanic explosion unexpectedly turned black.

As if the hidden truth within the pure white had revealed its true form, a noble and abyss-like blackness gradually replaced the white, causing Kaiser's entire body to emit a deep black aura.

Immediately afterward, blackness also began to replace the white on Kaiser's armor, turning the once immaculate pure white armor into a supremely noble, deep black.

Including the dragon tail and the wing bones of his wings, these originally white parts also turned black. Only the gems on various parts of his body remained blue, and the wing membranes remained transparent blue, accentuating the mysterious and distinguished blackness even further, entirely free from any sense of darkness or evil.

At that moment, Kaiser felt terrifying power filling every part of his body.

"So this is my Divine Dividing's 'Juggernaut Drive,' huh?"

Kaiser raised his hand, looking at his hand armor that had turned completely black except for the gem, feeling as though a casual punch from him could trigger landslides, earthquakes, and tsunamis.

This was not an illusion, but a true, tangible power.

Even though it was entirely different from Vali's "Juggernaut Drive," Kaiser could clearly sense that he now possessed power comparable to gods, perhaps even surpassing them.

Because his Divine Dividing was stronger than Vali's, and the "serpent" sealed within his Divine Dividing was even stronger than the Heavenly Dragon who only retained its soul.

After unleashing this power, Kaiser felt he could already compete against the chief gods and god-kings of various mythologies. Even among the top ten strongest beings in the entire world, aside from Ophis, he could hold his own.

"The consumption isn't as great as Vali's Juggernaut Drive either. He can only sustain Juggernaut Drive for a few minutes due to his massive Demonic Power, but I can maintain it for at least half an hour."

This wasn't just because Kaiser's Divine Dividing had lower consumption than Vali's, but also because Kaiser absolutely would not lose control or lose his rationality, allowing him to perfectly control the power of Juggernaut Drive and thus extend its duration.

"And this ability—after entering this state, I can activate Divide and Absorption infinitely, without any upper limit to endurance."

Kaiser was extremely astonished upon discovering this point.

This was because Kaiser's Juggernaut Drive was releasing the power of the Infinite Dragon God.

After unleashing this power, Kaiser's Juggernaut Drive had gained the characteristic of "infinity," allowing him to ignore his own endurance limits, continuously enhancing his power without restriction.

As long as he could afford the consumption, Kaiser could use Divide and Absorption to infinitely weaken his enemies and infinitely strengthen himself, until his stamina or aura ran out.

This was absolutely an unexpected pleasant surprise.

"Although the consumption issue still exists, as long as I keep growing stronger in the future, I'll be able to handle greater consumption, thus extending Juggernaut Drive's duration and further enhancing the power gained from activating its abilities."

"This is a characteristic of limitless potential, enough to accompany me my entire lifetime."

"Not to mention, as I grow, my Sacred Gear will also grow."

Kaiser unconsciously immersed himself in beautiful fantasies and the immense sensation of power spreading throughout his body, nearly unable to extricate himself.

This was an entirely different feeling from when using the True Longinus.

The True Longinus was extremely powerful, but its strength lay within itself, not within Kaiser, who wielded it.

Kaiser only unleashed its power, but it didn't cause his own strength to grow.

Divine Dividing was different. Whether activating abilities, Balance Breaker, or Juggernaut Drive, Kaiser's own strength would increase.

This sensation of endlessly expanding personal strength was truly captivating.

Crucially, in this state, Kaiser could also wield the True Longinus.

If both Longinus Sacred Gears were brought out simultaneously, activating Balance Breaker or Juggernaut Drive at the same time, what kind of scene would that create?

Just thinking about it made Kaiser's heart surge with excitement.

Of course, using two Longinus simultaneously would definitely increase consumption even further.

Unless absolutely necessary, it was better to use them separately.

With these thoughts, Kaiser gradually shook off the state of obsession and regained calm.

"By the way, can this state of mine still be called Juggernaut Drive?"

Kaiser pondered this question.

"Well, let's still call it Juggernaut Drive. After all, it's just the maximum release of sealed dragon power. Even if I'm a Dragon God, and Vali is a Heavenly Dragon, we're both still dragons."

Kaiser released the Juggernaut Drive, and even lifted the Balance Breaker, allowing the pitch-black armor to disperse into countless points of light.

Instantly, the overwhelming sensation of power filling his body vanished. The sudden drop in strength made Kaiser feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"No wonder past generations of the Red Dragon Emperor and White Dragon Emperor, upon learning Juggernaut Drive, would use it without hesitation in battle, even risking losing control to unleash greater strength. This sensation of immense power capable of matching gods indeed can easily lead one astray."

Kaiser silently warned himself, reminding himself that he would be the one controlling power, not the other way around.

However…

"Half of Ophis' 'snakes' remains. Since Divine Dividing has been successfully recreated, it should be completely possible to replicate Boosted Gear in the same manner."

Kaiser inevitably had such a thought.

Boosted Gear possessed the ability to continuously double the host's power, and could even transfer that power to others, objects, or phenomena, making it easier to increase strength compared to Divine Dividing.

Kaiser didn't dare imagine just how terrifying a strike would be if he used Boosted Gear to assist the Balance Breaker of his True Longinus, multiplying the God-slaying power of the [Spear of Divine and Demonic Judgment] to its utmost limit.

It was certain that ordinary gods could not withstand such a strike—it would be fatal upon contact.

Thus, the more Kaiser thought about it, the more excited he became.

"Hmm, rather than just thinking about it, I should take action. I'll find an opportunity to pay the Red Dragon Emperor a visit and pluck the jewels from his Sacred Gear."

If he managed to accomplish this, he would become an unprecedented—and perhaps never-to-be-repeated—holder of three Sacred Gears.

Moreover, these three Sacred Gears were all Longinus.

"Among the Longinus, True Longinus undoubtedly ranks first. Divine Dividing is ranked sixth, on par with fifth-ranked Boosted Gear. They are not only the strongest dragon-type Sacred Gears but also the closest to the top-tier Longinus."

"That being said, my Divine Dividing is far stronger than the original one; it can definitely rank among the top four, making it a top-tier Longinus."

"Top-tier Longinus—artifacts capable of destroying an entire nation depending on how they're used, and even having a significant impact on the world."

There had always been only four top-tier Longinus; perhaps now there were five.

No, not merely five. When Kaiser recreated Boosted Gear, there would be six.

…No, that's still not right, not six.

"It should be seven."

Suddenly, a realization flashed through Kaiser's mind like lightning, finally allowing him to understand something clearly.

"So, the fourteenth Longinus had already appeared long ago. It's just that I didn't realize it, and no one else noticed it either."

At this moment, the figure appearing in Kaiser's mind was precisely that youth holding a spear identical to his, dressed in traditional Chinese attire, and bearing a fearless smile on his face.

"Cao Cao… You've really hidden this deeply."

Kaiser muttered quietly, then abruptly smiled.

"No wonder I've always felt such extraordinary fighting spirit from you."

"No wonder you seem so persistent about determining a victor with me—only you never said it out loud."

"So that's how you've been thinking."

Kaiser raised one hand.

On it was etched a magic circle capable of contacting the Hero Faction and teleporting him to their temporary base.

Without hesitation, Kaiser activated the magic circle, causing it to unfold beneath his feet.

In the next second, Kaiser disappeared into the magic circle, leaving no trace behind.
