Whoosh!
In the kaleidoscope-like Dimensional Gap, a streak of light streaked through like a bolt of lightning, causing the sound of breaking air to echo.
Vibrating ten demonic wings, Leon flew at maximum speed toward the location of those two flares of aura. He charged forward recklessly, only swerving to avoid drifting fragments of "nothingness" when his magical perception detected them.
Kanna was not by Leon's side, so Leon was currently alone.
There was no helping it; that cowardly dragon simply didn't dare approach those two auras. No matter what, she refused to follow Leon, so Leon simply left her at the castle. He let her wait for him there to serve as a coordinate, lest he be unable to find his way back when he wanted to return.
To this end, Leon had carved a magical mark on Kanna, similar to the one he had previously used on the King of Cerberus, allowing him to sense her location.
Then, Leon embarked on this path alone, heading straight for the source of those two flares of aura.
Of course, this journey was not without its trials.
Boom!!!
As another earth-shattering roar erupted, a shockwave like an invisible explosion surged forth. It was more violent than a hurricane, causing the Dimensional Gap to sway and distort.
"Ugh!"
Leon was affected by this staggering airwave, finding it harder than swimming against an oncoming tidal wave. Every bone and muscle in his body creaked and groaned under the vibration, feeling as if he might fall apart at any moment.
With great effort, Leon finally withstood this wave of impact, holding his form steady to avoid being blown away.
What exactly are those two doing? How are they making such a massive commotion?
Leon cried out bitterly in his heart.
Fortunately, this was inside the Dimensional Gap. If this were in the physical world, this impact would surely have sent a metropolis flying into the sky, easily altering the terrain, shattering the earth, and causing countless skyscrapers to flutter through the air like wastepaper baskets before turning into dust.
Furthermore, the closer he got to the source of the aura, the more terrifying the shock became. Leon began to doubt whether he could even survive approaching them like this.
But there was no choice; he had to get there, otherwise, he truly wouldn't know how to escape this Dimensional Gap.
Thinking of this, Leon bit his teeth, and his entire body erupted with a startling flare of aura.
"—Balance Breaker."
He was forced to activate his Balance Breaker.
Only by strengthening his own power could he approach those two auras without being harmed.
Pure white aura soared into the sky, resisting the incoming shockwaves. Leon's magical power surged, and the demonic wings on his back increased from ten to twelve, allowing him to steadily step into the domain of the highest-class Devils.
Now, when Leon activated his Balance Breaker, his magical power alone could reach the level of a Super Devil, many times stronger than before.
Thanks to this, Leon finally managed to move with ease within that impact. His body once again turned into a streak of light, moving with the speed of lightning as he shot toward the location of the aura.
Leon flew for an unknown amount of time.
Finally, he came to a halt and saw the true identities of those two incomparably terrifying flares of aura.
His gaze was first drawn to an extremely massive creature.
It was a dragon, its body entirely crimson, covered in scales, with a terrifying and majestic appearance.
The dragon's body length was at least over a hundred meters. The aura erupting from its body was as vast as an abyss and as deep as the sea, filled with an unimaginable sense of heaviness.
That aura was both a Dragon's aura and a God's aura.
"The 'True Red Dragon God Emperor' (Apocalypse Dragon)—Great Red."
Leon unconsciously uttered the name.
That was the strongest being in this world, one of the Two Great Dragon Gods, the Guardian of the Dimensional Gap who presided over Dreams—Great Red.
Looking at this red dragon, Leon felt nothing but unparalleled shock.
It wasn't just because he was witnessing the majestic and magnificent true form with his own eyes, but also because seeing this Dragon God felt like seeing the end of a dream, the shore of an ideal. A sense of awe bubbled up from the depths of his heart.
But soon, Leon noticed another existence.
Compared to Great Red, this one's presence was not high, and the difference in size was like heaven and earth.
Great Red was a giant dragon over a hundred meters long, while this one was a petite girl whose height was perhaps less than a hundred and fifty centimeters.
The girl wore a black dress. The dress was somewhat revealing and provocative, failing to even cover her slender limbs, leaving her arms, thighs, and even her abdomen exposed to the air.
The girl's features were very regular, more exquisite than a doll and more textured than a mannequin. Only her eyes were somewhat hollow, as if they could suck in everything in the world, hiding an endless abyss within.
However, it was this girl, whose appearance was so small as to have no presence compared to Great Red, who radiated a startling aura.
That aura was not at all inferior to Great Red's, and it carried an indescribable sense of silence and isolation.
If Great Red's aura was as heavy as an abyss and a sea, then this girl's aura was as ethereal and distant as a black hole.
Leon, of course, knew who this was.
Rather, in all the world, the only existence capable of standing against Great Red was this one.
"The 'Infinite Dragon God' (Ouroboros Dragon)—Ophis."
The Ouroboros symbolizing infinite cycles, possessing infinite power, born from the "nothingness" regarded as infinity. The other Dragon God, crowned with titles like Chaos, Infinity, and Void, had actually appeared.
Leon's guess was correct.
Those two auras, countless times stronger than the God-class, could only belong to these two supreme beings.
Both were born from this Dimensional Gap, so appearing here seemed perfectly natural.
However, the relationship between these two was not good.
The proof was that these two Dragon Gods, releasing such seemingly endless and terrifying auras, were clearly fighting at this moment.
Boom!!!
As the two auras collided, the impact that caused the entire Dimensional Gap to tremble appeared once more.
Great Red's massive body charged out with terrifying speed, turning into an afterimage that even Leon couldn't see, slamming fiercely into Ophis.
Ophis's eyes were empty and silent. Even though her size wasn't even as large as one of Great Red's teeth—Great Red didn't even need to open its mouth; a single breath from its nostrils could blow her away—she didn't retreat even a single step. She thrust out a slender, delicate fist, striking Great Red's forehead.
Boom!!!
An earth-shaking impact was born. Invisible distortions rapidly spread outward, pulverizing countless things existing in the surroundings.
Leon's expression changed sharply. He didn't hesitate to activate his Balance Breaker ability, expanding soap bubbles around his body, enveloping himself within them to protect his person.
The soap bubbles created by "Speranza Di Briscola" seemed as though they would burst at a touch, but in reality, they were sturdy defensive barriers that could withstand countless natural disasters raging within without breaking in the slightest.
If this barrier was used internally, it could bind an enveloped enemy, leaving them nowhere to run; if used externally, it could block external attacks. It was likely that even a meteorite falling from the sky would not shake it.
Leon only sought to use it to protect himself and block the aftershocks of that impact.
But even if it could block them, the soap bubble enveloping Leon was like a small boat tossed into a tsunami, beginning to tumble back and forth within the invisible distortion, unable to stabilize its position at all.
Yet, this was only the beginning.
The Two Great Dragon Gods seemed completely unaware of the presence of a tiny Devil nearby. They engaged in a fierce battle within the kaleidoscope-like distorted Dimensional Gap, stirring up terrifying shockwaves.
Their way of fighting was extremely simple. There were no world-covering barrages of light or strange, varied abilities; there was only the purest collision between physical bodies.
A casual strike from them could shift the stars, and a slight movement could shake the foundations of the world. Each collision was like two planets smashing into each other, terrifying beyond measure.
Tumbling along with the soap bubbles in the shockwaves, Leon couldn't see the figures of the two Dragon Gods at all. He could only feel the two incomparably massive auras fluctuating, colliding, and roaring, and then he could perceive nothing else.
"Is this what a Dragon God is—?!"
Leon gritted his teeth and endured, controlling the soap bubbles to ensure he wasn't blown too far away.
His magical perception was also activated to its limit, but as a result, he could still only feel those two abyss-like massive auras; he could detect nothing else.
One was the True Dragon from the Apocalypse.
The other was the Ouroboros symbolizing infinity.
Both were Dragons among Dragons, Gods among Dragons. Either side possessed the power to single-handedly oppose all the mythological systems and factions of the entire world, making countless gods and demons bow their heads in submission. With Leon's current strength, which hadn't even reached the God-class, it was naturally impossible for him to glimpse anything significant.
The only thing he could do was struggle to hold on amidst the battle between the two giants, trying not to be casually pushed out of the battlefield.
He struggled thus for an unknown length of time.
Boom!!!
At a certain moment, as the final earth-shattering collision ended, the two Dragon Gods finally separated from each other, revealing their forms once more.
"Is... is it over?"
Leon finally managed to survive the last aftershock. Looking at the soap bubble which was nearly shattered, he gazed toward the center of the battlefield with lingering fear.
There, Great Red remained majestic and enormous, seemingly entirely uninjured; even its aura was still just as terrifying.
In contrast, Ophis looked slightly disheveled. Although she didn't appear injured either, her aura had become turbulent, causing ripples to appear in her eyes as she stared at Great Red.
Great Red also looked at Ophis, its gaze appearing far more composed.
From this, it was evident that although the strength of both Dragon Gods was extremely terrifying, Great Red was ultimately superior by a half-step.
After confronting each other like this for a while, Ophis finally moved first.
As if realizing that nothing could be accomplished, she expressionlessly turned into a void and vanished from the spot, disappearing without a trace.
Seeing this, Great Red snorted with satisfaction, as if it had won a battle. It then swayed its body and began to fly leisurely in another direction.
That appearance was very much like a whale singing in the sea—as relaxed as could be.
"Wait!"
Seeing this scene, Leon knew his chance had come.
He had to call out to Great Red and have it send him out of the Dimensional Gap.
As the Guardian of the Dimensional Gap, Great Red had the ability to open a passage to the physical world at any time.
This was why Leon, having guessed that the Two Great Dragon Gods were here, had risked coming—he wanted to obtain Great Red's help.
But Great Red truly seemed not to have noticed Leon's existence, or perhaps it had sensed him but didn't care for such a tiny being, as it continued to fly away leisurely.
"Wait a moment! Great Red!"
Leon was just about to give chase when he was stopped by another voice coming from behind him.
"—Human?"
This voice was crisp and pleasant to the ear, but as hollow and lacking in emotion as a void.
Leon's body froze instantly. He then spun around abruptly and looked behind him.
There, the girl who had just turned into a void and vanished was standing in the distorted Dimensional Gap as if it were the most natural thing in the world, quietly watching him.
"Ophis—"
Leon struggled to utter the name.
The "Infinite Dragon God" had actually returned.
"—Not human?" The girl didn't seem to care that he could recognize her and call out her name. She said to herself, "A Devil?"
Those hollow eyes, filled with silence, gazed at Leon. Although she did nothing, she brought immense pressure to Leon.
This pressure was only natural.
After all, this girl, who looked incomparably weak, could probably wipe Leon out on the spot with just a light flick of her finger.
Given that the "True Red Dragon God Emperor" Great Red roamed here as the Guardian of the Dimensional Gap and wouldn't easily leave, this "Infinite Dragon God" was the genuine strongest in the world, reigning supreme over countless gods and demons.
Compared to her, Leon was perhaps no different from an ant.
Frankly, under circumstances where even Great Red had ignored him, the fact that this "Infinite Dragon God" could notice his existence was already quite a surprise to Leon.
Leon took a deep breath to calm himself down.
"I am a Devil." Leon's voice had become somewhat hoarse at some point, yet he spoke calmly to Ophis. "I have come to ask for help."
He had no intention of beating around the bush and directly stated his purpose.
Because he knew that both Great Red and Ophis, while possessing the purest strength, also possessed the purest personalities.
Ophis, in particular, had a naive and simple personality, ignorant of the world. To some extent, she might even be easier to communicate with than Great Red.
Therefore, Leon planned to be straightforward and hide nothing.
Ophis was a Dragon God born from the Dimensional Gap. Since she could appear here, she naturally should be able to enter and leave the Dimensional Gap as she pleased.
In that case, asking Ophis for help would be the same.
Even if, from a positional standpoint, the current Ophis was technically his enemy.
