Chapter 226 - Hero Trait

After days of monitoring and investigation, Yahweh had long understood Ophis's purpose in creating the Khaos Brigade. But upon hearing it from the person herself, she really wanted to hang Ophis up and beat her.

However, considering that she hadn't fully recovered yet, Yahweh ultimately suppressed this thought and continued to reason.

"The Khaos Brigade cannot help you. Whether it's the Old Satan Faction or the Hero Faction members, they never intended to help you return to the Dimensional Gap from the beginning. They are just coveting and utilizing your power."

"Utilize me?" Ophis blinked, looking behind Yahweh.

"Georg, is this true?"

"Uh... it's true."

Georg hesitated for a moment, then replied truthfully.

Based on his understanding of Ophis, telling the truth might not necessarily get him killed by her. But if he continued to lie as before, he would likely be killed by Yahweh.

"Now you should understand, your actions are like a child throwing a tantrum. Besides creating chaos for this world, they bring no help to yourself." Yahweh's voice sounded again.

She stepped forward to Ophis and extended her right hand.

"Disband the Khaos Brigade and come with me. I will teach you common sense for daily life, so you won't be deceived and used anymore."

"...Okay."

"I didn't expect you to agree so easily. I thought you would learn from the Khaos Brigade's experience and ask me more questions."

"Your strength is greater than Cao Cao and them, you can help me return to the Dimensional Gap." Ophis stated the true reason expressionlessly.

Seeing this, Yahweh sighed again, "I won't help you deal with the Great Red. Although that guy's personality isn't great, he at least maintains the world's order, which is much more reliable than you."

"...I will maintain the world's order."

"Putting aside whether you can do it, even if you help maintain the world's order, I won't help you deal with the Great Red. Give up on that idea."

Yahweh saw through Ophis's little scheme and directly nipped it in the bud.

After that, she ignored Ophis, who had fallen silent and was thinking about something.

Instead, she turned her head to look at Georg not far away, who was trembling and standing in place, awaiting judgment.

"There's one last thing I need your help with."

"Please say."

"Summon the Dragon Eater."

"?"

[Congratulations on successfully defeating Falco, you have obtained the Green trait: Strongman.]

[Yahweh successfully defeated Cao Cao, congratulations on obtaining the Gold trait: Hero.]

[Congratulations, you have successfully defeated Wardell and obtained the green trait: Spiritual Vision.]

Hmm?

On the top floor of the Lucifer Palace, Tatsuma, who was focused on controlling his physical clones to sweep across various battlefields, raised an eyebrow.

Withdrawing some of his attention, he opened the message log and looked at one message that had just been mixed in with many others.

Good, he hadn't misheard.

Cao Cao had been dealt with by Yahweh.

What's this? Dying before even achieving anything?

Tatsuma's expression was a little subtle.

He wasn't an idiot. Of course, he understood that the simultaneous appearance of the Old Satan Faction and the Hero Faction had Cao Cao's work behind it.

The other party went through so much trouble to do all this to create a suitable opportunity for him to face the Dragon Eater.

But now, the Dragon Eater hadn't even appeared. Cao Cao had already been dealt with by Yahweh one step ahead.

"Did he launch a sneak attack on her first because he thought Yahweh might disrupt the plan?" Tatsuma vaguely guessed the truth.

While finding this reason amusing, he glanced at the trait that Cao Cao had dropped.

[Hero (Gold): When fighting non-humans, all stats are greatly increased, it is easier to see through their weaknesses, and attack power is increased by 100%.]

Among the many traits that require conditions to trigger their effects, the threshold for the Hero trait is undoubtedly very low.

As long as the enemy is not human, the Hero trait effect can be triggered, greatly increasing lethality.

Tatsuma was naturally very satisfied with this.

Judging from his past experiences, the number of times his enemies were human was extremely rare. Instead, he often dealt with non-human existences, leading to various conflicts.

Equipping the Hero trait, Tatsuma, who was controlling his physical clone to fight the Old Satan Faction, successfully triggered the trait.

A warm current flowed into his limbs and bones, his strength in all aspects was amplified and improved.

Although it couldn't compare to the God of Devils and Dragons, the Hero trait was a gold trait after all, and the boost it provided to Tatsuma was still quite significant. Relying on the power of the Hero trait, Tatsuma's efficiency in clearing out the Old Satan Faction saw a further increase.

Amidst a series of notifications, the battlefields scattered across various areas of the Underworld quickly became peaceful.

Dispelling his physical clone, Tatsuma looked at the red-haired Satan not far behind him, who was still looking down at the map and pondering what Hades and the others' objective was.

"Sirzechs, all the members of the Khaos Brigade who showed themselves have been cleared out."

"Hmm? That fast?"

Sirzechs came back to his senses, a little surprised.

"They were all just cannon fodder, didn't take much effort." Tatsuma replied in a calm tone.

In his perception, most of the Old Satan Faction Devils causing trouble were Mid-Class Devils.

The number of High-Class Devils was very limited, and as for Ultimate-Class Devils, they were even fewer.

It was clear that the Khaos Brigade's attack this time was just to divert the attention of Sirzechs and the others.

As for what their real objective was...

Buzz! Buzz...

A vibrating sound rang out from his pocket.

Tatsuma reached out, took out his phone, glanced at the contact, and pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Tatsuma."

"When did you come back from Soul Society?"

Yahweh's voice rang out from the other end of the phone.

"I'm already back."

"Eh? How did you come back so fast? Are things in the Soul Society already finished?"

"Yeah, there wasn't much else to do anyway. Killing Aizen and Yhwach finished everything."

"Only you could say that so casually." Yahweh's tone carried a hint of emotion.

She hadn't seen Aizen's situation, so she couldn't comment. However, she knew a little about Yhwach.

He inherited part of the Soul King's power and completed himself by plundering others. After long years of development, Yhwach, who could see and modify the future, was definitely among the top ten strongest in this world.

To have dealt with Yhwach in such a short time, Tatsuma's strength had probably increased again. But no matter how strong he became, Tatsuma, being a Dragon, had no chance of winning against the Dragon Eater.

Glancing at Georg, who was preparing nearby, Yahweh's confidence instantly soared.

"Since you're already back in the Underworld, you should have seen the letter I left, right?"

"Yes, I saw it."

"Then when are you free? I've already prepared the Dragon Eater for you, now I'm just waiting for you."

"I'm free now."

After bidding Sirzechs farewell, Tatsuma stepped into the magic circle in front of him.

The surrounding scenery changed rapidly as he located the tags he had left on Asia and Yahweh and advanced at full speed.

A few seconds later, he broke through the spatial barrier created by Dimension Lost and entered the small village within the spatial dimension.

"Eh?"

Stepping out of the magic circle, before Tatsuma could greet Yahweh and the other person, he saw the black-haired loli silently spacing out to the side.

"Tatsuma, let me introduce you."

Yahweh walked over and said, "This is the leader of the Khaos Brigade, the Infinite Dragon God, Ophis."

"Oh right, you don't need to fight Ophis. I've already negotiated with her."

"Due to various factors, Ophis has already promised me to disband the Khaos Brigade and stop causing destruction."

"I will maintain world order."

Ophis nodded slightly in agreement and looked at Tatsuma with curiosity.
