Chapter 225 - Curiosity Killed the Cat

A faint mist spread in the air, and Cao Cao walked out from the alternate dimension, bringing Georg.

After exchanging gazes with Yahweh for a few seconds, a look of confusion appeared on Cao Cao's face.

"Who are you?"

"The Red Dragon Emperor's Queen."

"Before that?"

"The Fourth Primogenitor's older sister."

"It seems you're not planning to tell the truth." Cao Cao shook his head slightly.

Yahweh's words might fool those who don't know, but they couldn't possibly work on him.

To deal with Tatsuma, he had been intensely investigating the people around Tatsuma and collecting intelligence. However, as of now, information about Yahweh could be said to be close to zero, completely a mystery.

"I originally wanted to test you using Diodora and the Old Satan Faction Devils. Now it seems those guys aren't qualified enough. I'll have to make a move myself."

"I advise you not to do that."

Yahweh glanced at the True Longinus.

The strongest Longinus inheriting the will of the God of the Bible.

It was essentially a spiritual armament that fused a trace of her split soul and a portion of her power. Attacking her with such a thing was no different from lighting a lamp in an outhouse.

"Oh? It seems you don't want to fight me."

On the other side, Cao Cao had not yet understood Yahweh's true meaning, only thinking that the other party was wary of the power of the True Longinus.

Regardless of her past identity, Yahweh was now Tatsuma's Peerage member, a reincarnated Devil who had fused with a Evil Piece.

The True Longinus possessed absolute restraint against Devils. It was understandable that the other party was wary of the True Longinus.

However...

"My target this time is not you, but the Red Dragon Emperor behind you."

"Sorry, but for the plan to proceed smoothly, I must deal with you before entertaining the Red Dragon Emperor."

A surging aura erupted from Cao Cao, and at the same time, the True Longinus emitted a dazzling light.

A few seconds later, a circular wheel emitting holy light appeared behind Cao Cao, surrounded by seven bowling ball-sized spheres floating around.

"This is my subspecies Balance Breaker, Polar Night Longinus Chakravartin!"

Cao Cao entered his Balance Breaker state, his face filled with confidence as he looked at Yahweh.

"Red Dragon Emperor's Queen, you are very strong."

"From how you just dealt with Diodora and those Devils, it's clear you are at least a Satan-level existence."

"If I didn't use my Balance Breaker for a direct bloodbath, my win rate would only be about thirty percent at most."

"But if I use my Balance Breaker, my win rate will increase to ninety percent, do you know why?"

"Yes, your confidence comes from that, right?"

Yahweh raised her hand and pointed at one of the seven spheres.

"Itthiratana, the Female Treasure, which can completely seal the abilities of surrounding females for a short period, and it cannot be avoided."

"?"

"Speaking of which, Longinus wielders only enter the Balance Breaker domain when their emotions are intense enough."

"The Balance Breaker derived such a severely targeted ability against females, could it be that you have misogyny?"

"...I don't believe I have such a condition."

The relaxed expression on Cao Cao's face disappeared, replaced by an unusually serious look as he faced Yahweh.

After unlocking his Balance Breaker, he had used it only a handful of times and had never exposed the ability of the Female Treasure. Yet, someone he had never met before pointed out his hidden ability.

Cao Cao was not a fool.

Yahweh knew his ability and was still so confident, she likely had some trump card.

However, the necessary probing could not stop.

Mobilizing the magic power within his body, Cao Cao activated the Female Treasure.

A special energy fluctuation shot out from the sphere, entering Yahweh's body.

After that, Cao Cao activated the ability of the Horse Treasure, swapping positions with Asia.

A cold light flashed, and the spear tip, emanating a holy aura, thrust straight towards Yahweh.

However, just then, Yahweh suddenly sighed.

"I actually didn't want to expose too much."

The spear tip stopped in front of Yahweh, and a look of disbelieving shock appeared on Cao Cao's face.

Before thrusting this blow, Cao Cao had considered many possibilities, even contemplating that he might be countered. But he had never imagined that the True Longinus would actively stop its attack.

That's right, it wasn't that he stopped the attack, or that Yahweh intervened to stop his attack.

It was the True Longinus itself, as a weapon, that actively stopped in mid-air the moment it was thrust out.

"You..."

"Curiosity killed the cat."

Yahweh grabbed the tip of the True Longinus, a profound and unfathomable divine might flashing in her eyes.

"Sometimes, knowing too much is not a good thing."

Vast and mighty holy light surged from Yahweh, and the True Longinus, in turn, erupted, pressing Cao Cao into the ground.

"Cao Cao, you are a smart person but unfortunately, you have gone astray."

Yahweh held the True Longinus, calmly looking at the man who had fallen to the ground before her.

"Considering you were chosen by the True Longinus, I will give you a chance. But whether you can survive depends on Tatsuma's opinion of you."

Endless holy light transformed into chains, binding and sealing Cao Cao from all directions, dragging him into an unknown alternate dimension.

After that, Yahweh looked at Georg standing next to Asia not far away, his eyes filled with fear.

"By not taking Asia hostage as a threat, your awe saved your life at a crucial moment. Now, listen to my arrangements, understood?"

"N-no problem."

A drop of sweat trickled down Georg's temple.

Recalling a month ago, Cao Cao had been full of ambition, discussing countless plans with him privately to deal with the Red Dragon Emperor.

Who would have thought that Cao Cao would ultimately be instantly defeated by the opponent's Queen before even meeting the Red Dragon Emperor, collapsing midway?

Looking at the golden-haired girl in front of him, holding the True Longinus and emanating a holy aura, Georg took a deep breath, temporarily suppressing the fear in his heart, and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"Take me to that alternate dimension you created, and don't think about playing any tricks." A golden light flashed in Yahweh's eyes.

"Understood." Georg nodded repeatedly.

Having witnessed Cao Cao's bizarre defeat, he dared not have any ulterior motives at this moment.

According to Yahweh's request, he opened the entrance and led Yahweh into the alternate dimension.

This alternate dimension was created by him through Dimension Lost, with the village outside as the reference template. Because of this, the scenery here was exactly the same as outside, except there were no Devils in the village.

Only a petite black-haired girl wearing a Gothic Lolita dress.

She stood quietly in the center of the village, looking up at the sky above, seemingly watching something.

Hearing movement, Ophis looked at Yahweh, Asia, and Georg walking towards her from not far away.

"Thou art..."

Ophis tilted her head, seemingly seeing something about Yahweh.

However, as soon as her voice sounded, Yahweh interrupted her, "Ophis, I came to see you."

"See me?"

"Yes, the Khaos Brigade you created has affected the order of this world, it's time to stop."

Ophis said, "I need the power of the Khaos Brigade to return to the Dimensional Gap and regain peace."

"Although I know your personality is very naive, it's really somewhat beyond my expectation that you can remain naive after staying in the Human World for so many years." Yahweh sighed, feeling a bit helpless.
