Temporarily containing and sealing the Dragon Eater, Yahweh raised her hand and summoned Cao Cao again.
With the seal lifted, Cao Cao regained his freedom. However, having lost the True Longinus, he was now just an ordinary person with superb combat skills, naturally not daring to act rashly.
"It's been a while, Red Dragon Emperor. This should be the first time we've met in person, right?"
Cao Cao shrugged, "It's a shame, I didn't expect to be defeated before formally fighting you."
Tatsuma said, "There's nothing to regret, you wouldn't think you could last more than two moves against me, would you?"
"I'm not that foolish."
Cao Cao glanced at Yahweh beside him.
Some things are hidden very deeply on a daily basis. But once there's a clue, the answer will automatically appear before you.
Cao Cao asked, "How are you going to deal with us? Will you just kill us like past enemies?"
Tatsuma said, "Originally, that was the plan, but recently I've had some new ideas."
"New ideas?"
"I need enough subordinates to lead teams and find the coordinates of other worlds for me."
Tatsuma had been keeping an eye on Vali's progress. As of today, the search for the Death Metropolis was nearing its end and would be completely finished at the latest by next month.
Acquiring the ancient Deva's technological heritage, coupled with Yahweh's help, building a starship wouldn't be a problem. Once everything was ready, the fleet would set off into the depths of the dimension to find the existence of other worlds.
But Tatsuma didn't plan to lead this matter personally. With Limitless Potential and a group of training-type traits, what he needed to do was to focus on getting stronger.
Finding other worlds was better left to his subordinates to handle.
However, to ensure safety, the Captain leading the team must have sufficient strength. Therefore, enough laborers needed to be recruited.
"You have repeatedly sent your subordinates to cause me trouble, theoretically, you should atone with death."
"But I don't like killing. If you are willing to sign a contract and work for me, I can spare your life."
Tatsuma took out a piece of parchment and threw it over.
Food and accommodation provided, eight hours of rest per day, but working seven days a week.
In terms of rewards, finding a suitable other world would mean being granted a blessing, awakening potential and becoming stronger.
"I didn't expect you to be quite merciful."
Scanning the contents of the parchment, Cao Cao signed his name without hesitation.
He had already prepared to face death the moment he was defeated. To be able to live, and even become stronger, was already a blessing in misfortune.
Returning the parchment to Tatsuma, Cao Cao quickly entered work mode.
"Tatsuma, I know the location of the Old Satan Faction's stronghold and the location of the Old Satan Faction's leader, Shalba Beelzebub."
...
On the edge of the Underworld, the Old Satan Faction's headquarters.
Shalba sat in the Central Room, receiving and processing battle reports from various parts of the Underworld.
"Report! The Gremory front has collapsed, the Red Dragon Emperor has appeared and annihilated all our members!"
"Report! The Sitri Territory front has collapsed, the Red Dragon Emperor has appeared and killed everyone using magic!"
"Report! Diodora lost contact not long ago, the last message before losing contact was [Everything is ready, the target has been successfully brought into the trap!]"
My blood pressure is rising.
Shalba burned the thick stack of battle reports in his hand.
A few minutes ago, the Old Satan Faction's fronts spread across the Underworld collapsed instantly.
It was as if Tatsuma could split himself, appearing on all battlefields at the same time and displaying astonishing power. In front of him, the Old Satan Faction's Devils were like infants who had just learned to walk, without any power to resist.
On the other hand, Diodora, who was originally sent to kidnap Asia, was now out of contact and his whereabouts were unknown.
Cao Cao, who was lurking in the dark as a backup just in case according to the plan, also hadn't sent any messages.
Everything was collapsing, and an ominous premonition rose in Shalba's heart.
This operation, which was originally intended to trap and kill the Red Dragon Emperor and thereby severely damage the Devil society's order, was now completely out of control.
"Perhaps it's no longer safe here."
Shalba got up from his seat, preparing to leave the headquarters and hide somewhere else.
However, just then, a bang sounded.
The door to the Central Room was kicked open, and an unexpected figure appeared before Shalba.
"Cao Cao? Why are you here?"
"Brought someone to see you."
Cao Cao stepped aside, revealing the person behind him.
"Hello, leader of the Old Satan Faction."
Tatsuma walked in casually, hands in his pockets.
"Red Dragon Emperor?!" Shalba's face showed shock.
In just an instant, he understood what had happened. "Cao Cao! You bastard!"
"You betrayed me!"
"That's right, I sold you out." Cao Cao nodded indifferently.
Seeing this, Shalba became even more furious.
However, just as he was about to say something else, Tatsuma's voice sounded again. "Shalba Beelzebub, as long as you sign a contract to work for me, I can spare your life."
"A contract? Are you kidding me!"
The anger on Shalba's face intensified, and a dense demonic power emerged from his body.
"You bastard, don't lump me in with Cao Cao and the others, I would rather die than..."
Buzz!
A dense Time energy swept over, and Shalba's voice abruptly stopped, his body frozen in place.
Tatsuma walked over slowly, punched him to the ground, and then kicked him towards Yahweh.
"I'll leave him to you to handle."
"Wait a moment."
Yahweh nodded understandingly, activated her divine magic, and began to search Shalba's memories.
In the face of an absolute power gap, Shalba had no power to resist, and the information hidden deep within his memories quickly became clear to Yahweh.
"Alright, the coordinates for the entire Old Satan Faction have been confirmed. The number is slightly more than expected."
"It doesn't matter. As long as we have the coordinates, that's enough."
Tatsuma obtained the coordinates from Yahweh, summoned his physical clones, and began the final cleanup.
There weren't many strong individuals in the Old Satan Faction. Their leader, Shalba, was already the strongest among them. Even Shalba was no match for Tatsuma, so there was no need to mention the ordinary members of the Old Satan Faction.
Within a few seconds, a large number of prompts sounded in his ears, and new traits kept coming in.
"How should we handle this guy?" Yahweh pointed at Shalba, who was still frozen in time.
"Since he's unwilling to surrender, then just kill him."
Tatsuma summoned a Power of Destruction bullet and sent it down. Shalba's body vanished without a trace in the next second.
[Congratulations on successfully defeating Shalba Beelzebub, you have obtained the red trait: Satan Bloodline.]
Yahweh asked, "Where to next?"
Tatsuma replied, "You take Ophis and Asia back to the Gremory Main Estate first. I'll go to the Lucifer Palace with Cao Cao."
"Okay, I'll see you later then."
Yahweh activated her divine art and disappeared on the spot with Ophis and Asia.
