Riesling Phoenix, you just wait!
I, Rias Gremory, will definitely become stronger here!
Strong enough to tear your false pride apart with my own hands!
A moment later, Lia walked out of the "Desert Trial Grounds" with the dust and heat still clinging to her body, her face still flushed with excitement.
In Zhou Ye's house, in the main hall, Zhu Nai, Kiba Yuto, and Toujou Shiroto had emerged from the [House of Time and Spirit] and gathered there, each with a different expression, but all of them were filled with amazement.
"Oh my, Rias, judging from your expression, the desert must taste pretty good."
Zhu Nai was carrying a small, transparent bag filled with seawater, in which several fish the size of a finger were swimming leisurely.
She smiled and shook the bag.
"I must say, Ye's design is truly amazing. It looks like a Rubik's Cube on the outside, but the inside is completely different. I just went to the ocean area, and the seawater there was crystal clear, with all sorts of animals living in it."
Tacheng Baiyin crossed her arms, her little face serious.
“I’ve been to Kuoh Academy, and it’s a 1:1 replica.”
The ability to reproduce even the smallest details of each flower bed was astonishing.
Yuto Kiba nodded in agreement, his handsome face showing seriousness.
“I went to the snow mountain, which is a complete copy of Mont Blanc. I really don’t know how Zhou Yejun managed to do it.”
The biting cold and the treacherous terrain made him feel as if he were truly atop that famous mountain.
A thoughtful glint flashed in Zhu Nai's purple eyes as she gently rested her chin on her hand.
"Ye said his God Destroyer is the [End], but the power it displays involves space, life, and creation... I don't remember any other God Destroyer being this powerful."
As Rias listened to the exclamations of her followers, her excitement subsided slightly, replaced by deeper reflection.
There is no doubt that Zhou Ye has helped her, but the more he does, the more she wants to know what kind of terrifying power Zhou Ye's God-Destroying Tool [The End] contains.
"In the end..."
Rias repeated the word softly.
"Generally speaking, the end refers to Ragnarok, the destruction of the old world, and the demise of civilization."
Her voice lowered, carrying a sense of awe for ancient legends.
"However, the end is also related to Nirvana, rebirth, and the cycle of reincarnation."
Rias's eyes sharpened, and a bold idea took shape in her mind.
"It's possible that Ye's strength has already reached the level of a Demon King."
She took a deep breath, her tone tinged with uncertainty yet also revealing a strong intuition.
"No, he's even at the same level as my brother, a half-step Transcendent!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Nai's smile froze.
Kiba Yuto and Toujou Shiroto's pupils shrank, and they both gasped, their faces filled with disbelief.
Don't look at me like that; my guess is quite possible.
Rias waved her hand, signaling everyone not to look like they'd seen a ghost.
As you can see, we have witnessed Ye's journey from acquiring the materials and mirror space technology to using and creating them.
Her tone grew increasingly firm, and a serious glint shone in her green eyes.
After finishing, he didn't blush or feel a racing heart, as if he had just casually made a toy.
Rias put her hands on her hips and raised her chin.
If I obtained the God-Slaying Gear [End] and created such a divine artifact, it would definitely not be as easy as it was for him!
Zhu Nai listened, her purple pupils filled with confusion and bewilderment.
She shook her head slightly, her voice carrying a hint of doubt.
But Ye has only been involved with the mystical side for a short time, right?
Zhu Nai frowned slightly, recalling the moments she had spent with Zhou Ye.
I also know Zhou Ye; his unusual behavior only started recently.
As she spoke, she lightly tapped her chin with her finger.
Like a novice who has gained power, he has only a superficial understanding of many common knowledge about the mystical side.
Zhu Nai's tone was tinged with doubt.
How does he resemble a powerful and experienced senior figure?
Kiba Yuto nodded in agreement:
Senior Zhu Nai is right, Zhou Yejun does indeed act like a complete novice.
Ta Cheng Baiyin muttered to herself:
But this "House of Time and Spirit" is really amazing...it doesn't seem like something a newbie would do.
Despite the doubts raised by the crowd, Rias did not waver in her judgment.
Instead, they became even more persistent.
That's the key!
She clapped her hands sharply, making a crisp sound.
Have you ever thought about what kind of being would act like a novice after gaining power?
Rias's eyes deepened.
Either they are genuinely a beginner, or...
She paused for a moment, then lowered her voice.
Either their strength has reached a certain level, and they don't need to care about these so-called common sense!
Rias became more and more excited as she spoke, her red hair flying in the wind.
The truly strong never need to deliberately display their erudition!
They only need to let their abilities speak for themselves!
Akeno was somewhat swayed by Rias's words, but still couldn't help but retort:
However, Ye genuinely didn't know many things about the mystical side before...
So what?
Rias interrupted Akeno directly.
Do true strong individuals need to know those trivial rules?
She pointed to the entrance to the House of Time and Spirit.
He created a world!
A real world!
Rias's voice grew louder and louder.
This power is beyond our comprehension!
Kiba Yuto and Toujou Shiroto exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
Indeed, if Rias's speculation is true...
Zhou Ye's strength is probably truly unfathomable.
Zhu Nai remained silent for a moment, then slowly nodded.
Perhaps... you're right.
She looked toward the House of Time and Spirit, a hint of awe and worship flashing in her purple eyes.
Ye is indeed no ordinary person.
Chapter 114
Rias frowned slightly, her red eyes gazing at the ancient wooden door of the [House of Time and Spirit] with a hint of confusion.
"Speaking of which, where is Ye?"
"Why haven't they come out yet?"
A playful smile played on Zhu Nai's lips, and her purple eyes blinked gently.
"Oh dear, he's probably taking his group of beautiful women to visit other more interesting places inside."
She paused, her tone carrying a hint of speculation.
"Or perhaps, he's looking for what he calls a bug."
At this moment, inside the House of Time and Spirit, in a place shrouded in mist.
This place perfectly replicates the scenery of Japan's most famous Kusatsu Onsen and Arima Onsen.
Warm spring water gurgles and flows, exuding the unique aroma of sulfur, which mixes with the fresh water vapor, making it intoxicating.
The bamboo irrigation canals, the rustic stone lanterns, and the meticulously arranged courtyard landscape—every detail is indistinguishable from a real hot spring.
Saeko Busujima stood barefoot on the smooth pebbles, her slender fingers gently dipping into the pool water, feeling the perfect warmth.
She closed her eyes and let out a soft, satisfied moan.
"Um……"
"Boss, this hot spring is a one-to-one replica, and the water quality and temperature are impeccable."
She opened her eyes, looked at Zhou Ye, and her eyes were filled with admiration.
"After completing your training, you can use the hot springs to thoroughly relax your body and relieve fatigue."
Shizuka Marikawa could no longer contain herself; her voluptuous body was almost pressed against Zhou Ye's, and her voice was sweet and cloying.
"Hey, boss, boss!"
