"However, this is enough."
After saying that, Kanzaki Teru put away the [World Foundation Stone]. At the same time, he pointed his hand into the void, and a magical projection opened in front of him. Immediately, the phantom of a silver-haired young man appeared in front of him.
"What a rare guest! This time, it's not Cao Cao who's contacting you, Vali!"
That's right—
The person standing before Kanzaki Teru was none other than the holder of the [White Dragon Emperor's Wings], the descendant of the first Demon King Lucifer, Vali Lucifer, and also the nemesis that Yuuki Asuna fears every day, the [Strongest White Dragon Emperor in History].
"You stole Cao Cao's prey, and you expect him to report it to you on his own initiative!"
"That guy is as stingy as ever!"
Kanzaki Teru naturally understood Vali's meaning. This time, he directly and forcefully killed Hades, the God of the Underworld, and snatched the Dragon Eater Semel, who belonged to Cao Cao's prey, from him. It was indeed a bit underhanded of him.
(cdfb) Yes, sometimes we can't look at things so one-sidedly.
Given the circumstances at the time, Hades, the God of the Underworld, had already incorporated Semel, the Dragon Eater, into his weapon, the Twin-Pronged Fork of Hades. It was completely unrealistic to try to steal it secretly. If the Heroes and Cao Cao were to actually make a move, regardless of success or failure, it would be bad if something were exposed.
Vali didn't dwell on it too much; after all, it wasn't like Cao Cao had stolen his prey, and besides, he had always been at odds with Cao Cao.
"Azure Emperor, I heard that the current [Crimson Dragon Emperor] is with you?!"
Wally asked.
"Indeed, you don't want to start a fateful war, do you?"
Kanzaki Teru glanced at Vali and said, "But don't make me look down on you. What's the situation with this generation's [Red Dragon Emperor]? Don't tell me you know nothing."
"Fighting the strong is my pursuit; the weak, especially women, are not within my scope of challenge."
"Walli said frankly."
After learning that this generation's [Crimson Dragon Emperor] was an ordinary girl who was fortunate enough to be possessed by the [Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlet], he completely lost the desire to fight her.
If Asuna Yuuki knew this, she might be jumping for joy right now.
However, Kanzaki Teru has no intention of telling him for the time being.
"Tell me about the summoning order and the formation."
"The summons has been almost completed, and everyone has secretly gathered at the sealed land. The shielding formation is also nearly finished. Once the remaining formations are in place, our plan can begin at any time."
"That's what Vali said succinctly."
Kanzaki Teru nodded slightly. With his identity being exposed in the eyes of the gods, these shielding formations actually became somewhat insignificant.
Although the chances are less than—
However, now all the major pantheons have their eyes on him. If he makes any move, it will surely alert the gods. That's why Kanzaki Teru thought that if all else fails, he could forcibly break 'its' seal before the gods could react. At that point, it would be too late for the gods to stop him.
In other words——
For Kanzaki Hikaru now, any moment is the time to officially begin the plan.

Chapter 109: Ants and Rats
"How are the Kanae and her sister Kocho, whom I asked you to keep an eye on, doing lately?!"
Kanzaki Teru himself also has extremely deep feelings for Kocho Kanae.
If it weren't for the special circumstances at the time and his own personal reasons, he would never have given up so easily. It has to be admitted that Kotonoha Kanae and Katsura Kotonoha's gentleness and grace are the most perfect wives in a man's mind.
Of course, this is on the premise that Guiyan~Ye will not turn evil.
"Now that the two of them have become disciples of Azazel, and the cadres among the Divine Child Monitors are also aware of this, and with these sisters now connected to you, the Azure Emperor, no one will want to provoke them."
Kanzaki Teru nodded.
With the addition of Vali and Ikise Tobi as guardians of the divine child, this is definitely one of the safest spots for the Kocho sisters, Kanae and Kocho.
"However, there's one thing you should be aware of, Azure Emperor."
Suddenly, Vali changed the subject.
“Your actions have aroused Azazel’s suspicion.”
Although Kanzaki Teru used a questioning tone, his words carried a sense of certainty.
“That’s right. These days, Azazel has not only started subtly probing me and Ikise Tobi, but there are also signs that he has sent people to investigate.”
"He seemed to have already figured something out."
Kanzaki Teru was not at all surprised by this.
Azazel had been investigating the "Band of Calamities" and the "Heroes" for many years. Now that the "Heroes" had suddenly shown unusual behavior, and that people like Vali were acting strangely, it would be strange if he didn't notice.
not to mention--
The Little Saint even forcibly transformed Azazel's [Fallen Dragon's Flash Gun] into a [Key]. With all these obvious signs, if Azazel ignores them, he is not qualified to sit in the position of Governor of the Divine Child Watchers.
Be cautious and careful, plan before you act, be shrewd and calculating...
These have always been synonymous with Azazel.
"Now that the summons has ended, let's keep things quiet for a while. I don't want the gods to realize this at the last minute."
Kanzaki Teru began to speak.
Vali nodded in agreement.
Just as Kanzaki Teru was about to say something more, his expression suddenly changed, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he stood up, looking in the direction of Kyoto.
"They certainly know how to choose their timing."
"Azure Emperor, what's wrong?!"
Vali was taken aback.
"An arrogant ant, with several sewer rats standing behind it, is huddled together, plotting something."
"Ants, rats?!"
Vali was somewhat puzzled, not understanding who Kanzaki Teru was referring to.
"The founder of Yin-Yang Dao—Abe no Seimei, and the old Demon King's faction!"
"Indeed, a gathering of scoundrels!"
A look of disdain appeared on Vali's lips.
Needless to say, the old Demon King faction consists of a group of narrow-minded and despicable individuals. As for the renowned Onmyoji Abe no Seimei, once one reaches a certain level of strength, one would know that this guy is even worse than the old Demon King faction. He is merely a petty person who only knows how to live a cowardly life and has no magnanimity whatsoever as a strong person.
This kind of despicable person is the kind of person that Vali despises the most.
"It's not just these people..."
Vali glanced at Kanzaki Hikaru unexpectedly.
"Who else?"
"Your grandfather, son of the first Demon King Lucifer, Li Zevim Li Huaen Lucifer!"
Kanzaki Teru glanced at Vali and said.
Without Li Zevm, the transcendent being, it would be impossible for those few rats from the old Demon King's faction to "show their faces" during this sensitive period.
Upon hearing the name 'Li Zevim Li Huaen Lucifer', Vali's expression changed drastically, and his eyes blazed with long-suppressed rage as he gritted his teeth and spoke.
"Where is Li Ze Wei M...?"
"Neon Kyoto, Nijo Castle."
"Azure Emperor, please open the teleportation array for me. This time, I want to kill Li Zevim with my own hands."
Vali suppressed his anger.
Li Zevme Li Huaen Lucifer was the enemy he had always pursued, both his own grandfather and his mortal foe. He would repay a hundredfold, a thousandfold, for the pain inflicted on him and his mother.
"You should understand that you, who have just completed [Tyrant Dragon], are no match for Li Zevim. Moreover, his ability is exactly the counter to your [Artifact Nullification]."
Although Kanzaki Teru was verbally trying to persuade him, he still activated the teleportation array for Vali. Vali wouldn't give up just because of a few words, especially since he was being sent to his death. It was better to have him come over first.
After a while——
·· ···Request flowers······
Once the teleportation array was completed, the previously illusory projection of Vali slowly materialized, and his true form appeared before Kanzaki Hikaru.
……
And, the instant Vali appeared at the Four Palaces residence—
Having just returned exhausted from outside, Dreig inside the [Red Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets] on Yuuki Asuna's hands showed a slight surprise, and then reminded his host, Yuuki Asuna.
"Be careful, host, that white guy has appeared."
Asuna Yuuki's expression froze for a moment, then her face changed drastically. Ignoring her fatigue, she quickly confirmed.
"The white one... you mean the host of the [White Dragon Emperor's Wings of Light], [White Dragon Emperor] Vali!!!"
"That's right!"
Draig's words were like a shove from behind Yuuki Asuna, leaving her with nothing but an abyss ahead.
...... ....... .......
"How could this happen?!"
Asuna Yuuki murmured, on the verge of tears.
"【White Dragon Emperor】!"
"...Walli Lucifer!"
Apart from Asuna Yuuki, the others also wore solemn expressions. After all, they had a lot of understanding of his reputation because of Asuna Yuuki.
[The strongest White Dragon Emperor in history], a power comparable to humanity's strongest candidate, a descendant of the first Demon King Lucifer—
All of this was what they had learned in the past few days, but they didn't expect Yuuki Asuna's nemesis to arrive so quickly. Wasn't it said that she had no interest in the weak?
"It must have been the master who invited us!"
