If thunder and lightning are everywhere, it proves that this king of the gods in the Greek pantheon is not in a good mood.
It is worth mentioning that--
After the [Dimensional Ranking] appeared, the thunder on the entire Olympic Mountain never dissipated, remaining perpetually shrouded in a sea of thunderous clouds.
……
"So this is the prototype of the Holy Grail."
In a small town nestled in the European jungle, shrouded in thick fog from beginning to end, Kurumi Tokisaki curiously examines the [Ranking Reward: Prototype of the Holy Grail] in her hand, while Valerie, a delicate girl holding the [Holy Grail of the Underworld] beside her, looks at Kurumi with a face full of fear.
Just now, this woman, who suddenly appeared and was known as the "Most Evil Time Spirit" and looked about the same age as me, used an ancient pistol in her hand to kill all the opposing members of the Zepesh faction, including her father, as easily as crushing ants. Their bodies were even devoured by the "City of Time Devouring" to replenish its time consumption.
"That's interesting. Some of the ranking rewards distributed in the [Artifact Ranking] can be freely fused with or separated from the artifact under the master's intervention."
Kurumi Tokisaki looked at the [Holy Grail Prototype] she had snatched from Valerian and placed it in her palm, and came to a conclusion that was not particularly important.
This result was clearly within the tacitly accepted rules of the [Dimensional Ranking]. Otherwise, the [Dimensional Ranking] would have already made a move when Tokisaki Kurumi took the [Holy Grail Prototype] from Valerie.
"Here you go! Hurry up and fuse the [Holy Grail Prototype] into the [Holy Grail of the Netherworld]!"
After saying that, Kurumi Tokisaki tossed the [Holy Grail Prototype] in her hand to Valerie. She didn't care much for the mere [Holy Grail Prototype], and its value in her hands was far less than in Valerie's.
"Yes, my lord!"
Valerie hurriedly accepted the [Holy Grail Prototype]. She dared not disobey Kurumi Tokisaki's words in the slightest, as the bloody and cruel scene from before still echoed in her mind.
Holy flashes of light erupted from Valerie's body, the result of the fusion of the [Prototype of the Holy Grail] and the [Grail of the Underworld].
Perhaps because Valerie is the holder of the Grail of the Underworld, these holy flashes of light emanating from her body did not cause her any pain like that of poison, but rather a gentle warmth like returning to the womb.
"what!"
Just as Valerie was about to finish fusing the [Holy Grail Prototype] and the [Ghost World Holy Grail], Kurumi Tokisaki gazed into the distance.
"The gods arrived quite quickly, but you were still a step too late!"
After saying that, Kurumi Tokisaki took Valerie and broke through space to leave the place.
Although almost none of the powerful attackers were her match, her purpose in coming here was to take away Valerie, who possessed the [Ghostly Grail], rather than to clash with these gods. She could still distinguish the order and priority of things.
A few minutes later--
Several tall figures appeared at the spot where Kurumi Tokisaki had just left the message.
"【Time Elf】Tokisaki Kurumi, she got there first."
"Forget it, let's go back."
"The Holy Grail of the Netherworld is indeed a powerful artifact of divine destruction, but to use it to confront the Azure Emperor is extremely unwise..."
"Um……"
The gods were aware of the relationship between Kurumi Tokisaki and the Azure Emperor. Moreover, it was said that the Azure Emperor intervened to stop Kurumi Tokisaki from fighting Accelerator in the skies above Tokyo.
From this, it is clear that the relationship between the two is definitely not ordinary, and it is highly likely that Tokisaki Kurumi came here on the orders of the Blue Emperor.

Chapter 102: Unsealing the Crimson Flame
When Tokisaki Kurumi, following Kanzaki Hikaru's orders, kidnapped Valerian, who possessed the "Holy Grail of the Underworld," from the vampire territory.
The various pantheons also received relevant information.
Fearing that other artifacts on the [Artifact Ranking] might be snatched up by others, undercurrents immediately began to surge among the pantheons, who used their intelligence networks spread throughout the world to search for the locations of those artifact owners.
After all, not every artifact is like the Holy Grail of the Underworld, whose owner is so easy to find.
However, all of this was unrelated to the [Dimensional Ranking]. Its ranking rewards continued uninterruptedly, with orbs of light containing ranking rewards constantly breaking through space and disappearing—
……
Ultimate Flame Unleashed
(The flame sealed by the God of the Bible is the ultimate flame that can burn everything to ashes. Once ignited, it will never go out. Even gods will be reduced to ashes in this flame.)
Note: This power belongs to the transcendent and is ineffective against Albion, the White Dragon Emperor, who is of equal standing.
—Distribution
……
Unleashing the Boundless Poison
(The flame sealed by the God of the Bible will infinitely weaken all who are poisoned until their strength, stamina, lifespan... are exhausted.)
Note: This power belongs to the transcendent and is ineffective against the Crimson Dragon Emperor Draig, who is of equal existence.
—Distribution
……
[Divine Authority Increase (Triple)]
(Yes, the fused artifact can amplify one's divine authority threefold.)
Note: Divine authority has a limited effect on increasing strength, with a maximum limit not exceeding the realm of the Transcendent.
—Distribution
……
The Four Palaces Residence, the Training Ground—
The orb, a reward from the [Artifact Ranking], merged into the [Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets] with lightning speed.
"Click."
The sound of breaking chains came from the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets on Asuna Yuuki's hands, followed immediately by bursts of excited joy from Draig.
"Hahahaha... Finally, finally it's unlocked! My Crimson Flame... finally unlocked!!!"
at the same time--
Terrifying crimson flames, hot enough to melt any living thing, surged from the Crimson Dragon Emperor's gauntlets, tracing crisscrossing fiery whips in the air.
In an instant——
All the moisture in the air was evaporated, and the entire training ground became a scene like a red lotus purgatory. The floor, walls, and various incredibly sturdy alloys were all fused into molten iron under such high temperatures.
Meanwhile, Kaguya Shinomiya, Rias, Snow White, and the others retreated even further, as the terrifying heat made them feel suffocated.
"town!"
Accelerator frowned.
His superpower, Vector Manipulation, instantly came into play, and the ultimate flames erupting from the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets were violently suppressed by Accelerator.
"It's amazing that such an interesting superpower has appeared among humans."
Draig sighed softly.
Even if he only released a small amount of his ultimate flame, it would not be something that a mere Demon King-level powerhouse could suppress. Yet, Accelerator, this little guy who had just stepped into the Demon King level, actually did it. He had to praise him for being worthy of being the number one guy on the [Transcendent Ranking], the disciple of that monstrous genius.
Accelerator merely glanced at it indifferently, and Asuna Yuuki's [Red Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets] remained silent.
She was just a loser sealed in the God-Destroying Tool during the war between gods and demons. No matter how noble her previous status was, she was now just a prisoner and not worth her attention.
Of course, this is just one side's conclusion; others might not think so.
“I heard my brother say that in ancient times, the ultimate flame of the Crimson Dragon Emperor Draig was a flame that even transcendent beings would have to retreat from. It was sealed by the God of the Bible because it was too powerful.”
Rias glanced at the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets on Yuuki Asuna's hand with lingering fear. Just a moment ago, she had truly felt the threat of death.
"If the ultimate flame of the [Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets] had been unsealed from the beginning, it might have been ranked among the superior divine artifacts..."
"¨々A superior god's annihilation tool!?"
Asuna Yuuki looked at the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets in her hand. If they could be ranked among the top-tier Divine Destroyers, it would mean that her Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets were good enough to rank in the top twenty of the Divine Artifacts Ranking.
"Ultimate Flame, Boundless Poison..."
Admittedly, she was overjoyed by the power of her divine weapon, the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets. However, she hadn't forgotten her nemesis with whom she had to fight to the death: Vali Lucifer, the host of the White Dragon Emperor's Wings. Vali Lucifer's Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets had unsealed the Ultimate Flame, while Vali Lucifer's White Dragon Emperor's Wings had similarly unsealed the Boundless Poison.
The opponent was originally very strong, and having unsealed the Boundless Poison, she was fully capable of controlling it perfectly. On the contrary, with her current weak strength, it was completely unrealistic for her to control the ultimate flame, which was powerful enough to burn even gods to ashes.
"Alright, Asuna, we'll deal with whatever comes our way!"
Rias noticed Asuna Yuuki's worry and comforted her.
"Hopefully, that guy can hold me off for a bit and won't just sell me out."
Asuna Yuuki muttered helplessly to herself.
In any case, she had no hope of catching up with Vali Lucifer, who was known as the "strongest white dragon emperor in history," in a short period of time; she could only take things one step at a time.

Chapter 103: The Balance Broken
Ultimate Artifact Modification
(Yes, the [Artificial Artifact] can be perfectly modified to the extreme, improving its design and manufacturing flaws. Furthermore, the [Ultimate Artifact Modification] can further compensate for the [Artificial Artifact's] inherent limitations...)
Note: The "Ultimate Artifact Modification" relies on the quality of the "Artificial Artifact" itself, and is not a creation from scratch...

……
Divine Child Watcher—
"So that's what [Ultimate Artifact Modification] means!"
Azazel stopped studying the [Floral Dance Script] and [Azure Dream Paper Butterfly] in his hands, took out his most prized masterpiece, [Fallen Dragon's Flash Gun], and fell into deep thought.
unexpected--
"boom!"
