"The pure-blooded demon who will guide them onto the path of cultivation will arrive as scheduled tomorrow."
Ajaka clearly didn't want to get entangled with Kanzaki Hikaru on this matter, so he readily agreed.
"Kansaki Teru, I don't care what your relationship is with the Azure Emperor, you'd better not make enemies of the Underworld."
Ajeka gave a stern warning and then disappeared.
"If we don't become enemies with the underworld, the future is truly unpredictable!"
Looking at the spot where Ajaca disappeared, Kanzaki Teru's eyes became somewhat deep, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Chapter 49: Awakening of the Divine Artifact
The Milky Way shimmered, and the bright moon hung in the sky, radiating silver light that illuminated all living things on earth, becoming the only source of light in the deep darkness.
At this moment——
The Shinomiya residence was quiet, except for the chirping of nocturnal insects and the symphony of footsteps from the patrolling guards. It seemed that everyone else in the residence had already drifted off to sleep.
However, the truth is quite the opposite—
The events of today are like a series of adrenaline surges, constantly stimulating the nerve endings of Shinomiya Yanan and the others. Perhaps because everything happened so suddenly, now, just lying in bed and thinking back on it, it seems even more unbelievable.
Kanzaki Teru— ruthless, decisive, and incredibly powerful.
Ajaka, the demon king of the underworld in mythology—
……
Everything seemed to be overturning their worldview.
Especially Shinomiya Yanan, he had no idea when this child he had watched grow up had reached such a height.
In their eyes, the Shinomiya family and even the entire Japanese nation are probably insignificant.
What made him extremely fortunate was—
Back then, he turned the tide and suppressed all the opposition from the elders of the family, thus facilitating the marriage between Kaguya and Hikaru. As long as Hikaru stood behind the Shinomiya family, the family's centuries-old lineage would not be broken.
Arima Kishou and Tenkai Daizen then relayed their observations and experiences of the day to the CCG and the Onmyoji Agency.
The message sternly warned their respective factions against easily becoming enemies, or they risked annihilation. Arima Kishou not only relayed the message to the CCG, but also secretly passed it on to Aogiri Tree, led by Takatsuki Sen, making the warning even more pronounced.
Yuuki Shozo, Katsura Manami, and Yanagawa Nako, who were temporarily staying at the Shinomiya residence, spent a long time in their respective daughters' rooms, teaching them many things before leaving and returning to their own rooms.
Both Katsura Kotonoha and Kuroyukihime had slightly flushed faces, as if their parents had just said something that made them a little embarrassed.
In Yuuki Asuna's room—
"Get as close to that guy as possible, but don't even think about it—"
Wearing white pajamas, Asuna Yuuki lay on the soft bed, 'fiercely' hitting the brown bear plush toy in her hand, as if she regarded it as some hateful creature.
After banging on the brown bear plush toy for a while, Asuna Yuuki's pent-up anger dissipated slightly. She then sat cross-legged on the bed, her brows furrowed in a sullen mood. She muttered to herself...
"So what if he's a little stronger? Is it really necessary for him to have his daughter pay him off like that?"
That's right—
It's basically paying out of pocket—
Just now, my father, Yuki Shozo, the head of the Yuki family, spoke so bluntly.
Asuna Yuuki also knew some things, that with the emergence of the [Dimensional Ranking], the entire world would undergo a huge and unprecedented transformation, entering a completely different new era, an era of true survival of the fittest, where strength is the ultimate sovereign.
At that time, families like the Yuki family, the Shinomiya family, and the Yanagawa family, if they want to maintain their current status, must have enough strength to protect themselves, or they must rely on a powerful figure.
The appearance of Kanzaki Teru, who possesses the strength of a Demon King, perfectly fulfills the desires of the Shinomiya family, the Yuuki family, the Yanagawa family, and so on.
For a member of a large family like her, being used as a sacrifice is inevitable, and this time she really couldn't refuse.
Just thinking about Kanzaki Hikaru's past playboy behavior, and the fact that he was still Kaguya Shinomiya's fiancé, made her feel ashamed and like a mistress... a woman who had schemed and failed.
Asuna Yuuki shook her head abruptly, banishing the embarrassing thought from her mind, and then thought to herself with a sense of unease.
"I clearly didn't want to get too involved with this guy."
The bottom line I had set beforehand was completely overturned by myself in less than a few hours, which felt like a slap in the face.
"Just how strong is Kanzaki Teru?!"
Asuna Yuuki couldn't help but have this thought in her mind. Although she knew that he was extremely strong and a Demon King-level powerhouse, she still didn't have an accurate measure of just how strong he was.
unexpected--
"That guy's strength is far more exaggerated than you imagine. You probably can't find anyone stronger than him among you humans."
A deep, stern voice boomed in Asuna Yuuki's ears, and at the same time, a crimson light flashed on her right hand.
"Who?! Who is it...?"
Yuuki Asuna was shocked and tried to stand up, but the next moment she lost consciousness and fell onto the bed.
……
flame--
Flames filled the sky, burning wildly, with pillars of fire erupting like volcanoes.
A world entirely of fire, with no other matter in sight.
"How did I get here?!"
Asuna Yuuki regained her senses and looked around in confusion. She even reached out to touch the flames right in front of her, but she didn't feel any heat at all. To be more precise, she couldn't feel anything at all, as if everything was an illusion.
"This is the consciousness space within the [Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlet], new host!"
That familiar voice appeared again. When Asuna Yuuki stared intently at the source of the voice, her eyes narrowed sharply, as if she had witnessed an unbelievable sight.
"Dragon, a giant dragon...!!!"
That was a dragon, a massive crimson dragon bathed in flames, like a fiery emperor, exuding unprecedented power and shaking the entire space.
Asuna Yuuki looked at the giant dragon before her, her heart and spirit trembled involuntarily.
"I am Draig, the dragon soul of the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets. Nice to meet you, my future partner!"
"The Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets... are they divine artifacts?! Divine artifacts residing within my body?!"
Asuna Yuuki suddenly remembered what Teru Kanzaki had said.
"To be more precise, it's the God Destroyer Gear, but only thirteen pieces of the God Destroyer Gear. If I hadn't sensed that guy's aura, I wouldn't have woken up."
"God-Destroying Gear?!?"
Yuuki Asuna was immediately shocked. She hadn't expected that the artifact residing within her was the God-Slaying Gear, a legendary weapon capable of annihilating demon kings and gods. No wonder Kanzaki Teru had coveted this artifact before.
"But why doesn't that guy want it anymore?"
This is a divine artifact, a coveted treasure for both gods and demons. Yet, judging from Kanzaki Hikaru's expression, he doesn't seem to care at all.
"That guy no longer needs the [Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets] to embellish his appearance; his strength has completely surpassed the limits of this divine weapon, the [Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets].
"Dreig said solemnly."
"How strong is he?"
Asuna Yuuki asked a question that had been puzzling her for a long time.
After a moment of contemplation, Draig said.
"How strong? Stronger than Demon King Ajeka, the number one human, the strongest!"
"The number one human being, the strongest!!!"
Asuna Yuuki couldn't help but cover her mouth, finding it hard to believe that Kanzaki Teru, with his wicked personality, would be the first human.
"White has an unusual relationship with him, so be careful."
After Drag finished speaking, the entire space of consciousness slowly dissipated.
"Wait... who's the white guy?"
Asuna Yuuki shouted immediately.
"..."
In the last moments before Asuna Yuuki lost consciousness, she heard...
"White Dragon Emperor, your nemesis!!!"

Chapter 50: Pureblood Demon, Rias
early morning--
A ray of sunlight bursts forth from the horizon, and birds flutter to the branches, chirping and twittering, announcing the start of a new day.
In the Shinomiya residence—
"Kotoha, for the rest of this time, you should stay here and train diligently with your two teachers."
After finishing breakfast, Katsura Manami pulled Katsura Kotonoha aside and gave her some special instructions.
"I will, Mother!"
Then, Katsura Manami moved closer to Katsura Kotonoha and whispered something.
"Kotoha, don't forget what I told you last night."
Upon hearing this, Katsura Kotonoha's delicate cheeks flushed slightly. She still felt shy thinking about her mother Katsura Manami's words from the previous night.
However, when she looked at her senior, Kanzaki Teru, who was still eating at the table, a sweet feeling welled up inside her. Especially when he shielded her behind him yesterday and faced Theodora alone, the sense of security and comfort he gave her made her wish she could stay by his side forever.
Seeing her daughter like this, Katsura Manami smiled slightly.
As long as their daughter, Katsura Kotonoha, gets involved with this young powerhouse who can challenge the Demon King of the Underworld, the Katsura family will be completely safe in Japan.
at the same time--
Just like last night, the same words were repeated to their daughters by Yuki Shozo and Yanagawa Nako, who were also parents, reminding them not to forget.
