"We were about to wipe out all three of them, but the opponent suddenly threw out a mass of Ophis's power. We weren't careful, and they took the opportunity to escape."
Under everyone's gaze, Sirzechs gave an awkward smile and explained how the enemies got away.
On the other side, Michael's smile was just as stiff.
"Sirzechs, Michael, you actually let enemies like that escape. You two really aren't reliable."
Azazel wore a teasing grin as he mocked them openly.
Compared to the opponents Sirzechs and Michael had faced, that human magician-who was clearly far stronger and could even use Sacrifice God-level magic-had been sealed by Nanamiya Hiro into some unknown secret space far removed from the Three Factions, with no room for resistance at all.
What was that card just now?
Where did Nanamiya Hiro get something like that?
And more importantly-does he only have one?
While ridiculing Sirzechs, Azazel was replaying the moment Hiro sealed August in his mind, feeling increasingly wary.
All three escaped, huh?
So even though I didn't get them this time, there'll be another chance.
Hiro didn't complain after hearing Sirzechs's explanation.
If anything, he felt slightly relieved.
At least those three "5s" hadn't been ruined by Sirzechs and Michael.
With Katarea, Creuserey, and Shalba-the main culprits-having escaped, the remaining stray magicians quickly lost the will to fight.
They were either annihilated by the Three Factions, captured alive, forced to surrender, or fled.
Of course, among those who had already shown themselves, very few actually managed to escape successfully.
"So what now?"
Hiro glanced around at the wrecked venue and asked calmly.
"Are you still planning to continue the meeting in this state?"
"No. Everything that needed to be decided has already been decided."
Sirzechs, who had formally acknowledged Grayfia as Lucifer, gave a wry smile and shook his head helplessly.
"Michael, Azazel, what about you two?"
"I agree."
Michael nodded with his usual gentle smile.
"Same here. But there's something I want to mention while all three factions are still present."
Azazel turned his gaze toward Vali, who had just returned from the distant battlefield and had already deactivated the White Dragon Emperor armor.
Pat. Pat.
Walking up to him, Azazel patted Vali's shoulder with an easy smile.
"I'm planning to have Vali infiltrate the Khaos Brigade as a spy. Whether it's gathering intelligence or splitting and drawing away their combat power, it'll be extremely useful."
"And while you're at it, lure back the users of True Longinus, Annihilation Maker, and Dimension Lost."
At that moment, Hiro spoke up, looking at Azazel and adding flatly.
The instant he finished, Sirzechs and Serafall were both slightly surprised-but not shocked.
Only Michael couldn't help reacting.
"The True Longinus?"
Tsk.
Azazel clicked his tongue, annoyed that Hiro had stolen his line.
Still, he nodded.
"Hiro-kun is right. According to my investigation, the Khaos Brigade has at least these three Longinus users. As for whether there are others, I can't say yet."
So Vali still ends up joining the Khaos Brigade.
But what exactly happened in between that turned him from a 'traitor' into a self-sacrificing 'hero'?
...Don't tell me it's related to me again.
Hiro complained inwardly as he looked at the indifferent young man whose shoulder Azazel was holding.
Vali seemed to sense his gaze and turned his head naturally, meeting Hiro's eyes.
Yeah.
Looks like it probably is because of me.
Hiro couldn't help showing a helpless expression as he saw the fighting spirit and unwillingness burning in Vali's eyes.
At the same time, after Hiro waited for a few minutes, the golden "4" above Michael's head finally reached its activation point-
"Ding! Six-Tier Fate/Luck extraction complete. Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Spirit Core - Maou Lucifer (Four-Digit)."
"Note: After using this item, the host's body will not change. You will gain the ability to manipulate hearts, stimulate desire, and cause corruption. When using abilities aligned with the 'evil' attribute, their effects will receive a certain degree of amplification."
Obtaining Lucifer's Spirit Core from an Archangel.
I have to say-that's pretty ironic.
Hiro glanced at Grayfia, who was standing quietly not far away, feeling a faint sense of awkwardness.
Considering the Archangel in front of him and Grayfia-the super-spec Lucifer-he chose not to use the Spirit Core immediately, planning to wait until after he left.
"In that case, let's end things here for today."
As the host, Sirzechs proposed adjourning the meeting, clearly unwilling to linger in the ruined room.
Azazel and Michael both nodded.
"Michael, wait. There's something I want to discuss with you."
Noticing Michael preparing to leave, Hiro stopped him.
"Hm?"
Michael turned back with a gentle smile.
"I know you need to exclude certain special cases to avoid causing too much interference with the 'System.' But just two or three exceptions shouldn't damage the 'System' left behind by God, right?"
Hiro spoke calmly, looking straight into Michael's bright golden eyes.
Setting aside Asia-who had always admired him-and RindĆ, who seemed to have fallen for him, even for Xenovia alone, with whom he already had a substantial relationship, this matter couldn't be ignored.
"Of course not."
Michael immediately understood what Hiro meant.
He glanced toward Asia and Xenovia, who were watching anxiously not far away, and smiled as he nodded.
"I'll make the necessary adjustments after I return. Asia-san and Xenovia-san should be able to pray normally by tomorrow afternoon."
Asia and Xenovia's faces lit up at once as they bowed deeply.
"Thank you, Michael-sama!"
"You should be thanking Hiro-sama instead."
Michael chuckled lightly as he spoke.
Humans who obtain a god's Spirit Core are still human.
They only gain a god's identity and abilities.
Once the Spirit Core is lost, they return to being human.
A Dragon God's Spirit Core is something born naturally.
A Spirit Core is a Spirit Core.
An Authority is an Authority.
While a Spirit Core is related to combat strength, the two are not directly equivalent.
