In the direction opposite to Hiro, Erica heard that sentence and questioned Liliana while fleeing for her life.

"Why did Michael say Hiro betrayed the Lord? Did the demon god Baal ever serve God? Liliana, did your spiritual sight see anything?"

"My spiritual sight isn't that advanced."

Liliana ran while circulating magic power to enhance her body, not even turning her head.

"Myths are recorded by humans. Errors and omissions are normal. And the secrets of a newly established Demon King, someone shrouded in mystery, aren't things for two Knights like us to investigate."

"I get it. Fine."

Hearing the meticulous answer from ahead, Erica pouted slightly.

"You're a stubborn fool, Lili. That's why you've never had a boyfriend even at this age."

"Wha... what!"

Liliana stumbled, nearly falling from Erica's jab.

She quickly steadied herself and ran parallel to Erica, her beautiful azure eyes filled with annoyance and shame.

She shot back at the golden female fox with a mischievous glare.

"If we're talking about that, you haven't either! You attend all kinds of banquets and balls, yet you've never been intimate with any man! Haven't you never had a boyfriend either?!"

"My body must, of course, be reserved for the King I will serve! How could I let those mere mortals touch it?"

Erica replied with utter righteousness, a noblewoman's pride clear on her face.

"However, if I just send out a signal, a large group of men would kneel before me that very day, begging to be with me. You, Lili, probably can't do that, can you?"

"Who... who says that! If I wanted to, I... I could too!"

"Hm? Lili, what are you saying? Speak up, I can't hear you."

Watching her friend's voice weaken as she failed to retort, Erica's mouth curved upward, clearly pleased.

"Sh-Shut up!!"

Liliana cursed softly, furious and embarrassed.

Her pace suddenly increased by a third, leaving Erica behind, out of sight and out of mind.

-

At Hiro's previous location, a dark-red full moon with a diameter exceeding ten meters flashed into existence where the blood-red longsword had shattered.

The inexplicable attack, which seemed to swallow even sound, carved a smooth, mirror-like semicircular crater into the Roman ground.

The fleeting full moon made even Hiro, already some distance away, glance back despite himself.

It looks powerful, but what's the point of such a long delay? And the sense of danger is only so-so.

As the two rapidly closed in on each other, just over ten seconds passed.

Hiro's [God-Slaying Evil Eye] had already captured the true name of the distant angel-Michael.

"Against Michael, the [Indra's Spear] might not even be as useful as this."

Muttering to himself, Hiro abandoned the idea of simulating Divine Authority.

Instead, he took out a blood-red long spear from System space.

Its color resembled the sword Michael had used earlier, but the meaning was entirely different.

The red of the [Longinus Spear] came from being stained with the blood of the Holy Son. Michael's red sword, Hiro guessed, symbolized judgment and punishment.

In Christian mythology, there is only one God, and angels shouldn't strictly be counted as gods. But since Michael had descended in the form of a Heretic God, he should fall within the "super effective" range of the [Longinus Spear].

Coupled with its attribute-God-Slayer of the Holy Son-well.

While still hundreds of meters away, Michael had already noticed the red spear in Hiro's right hand.

An overwhelming aura of blasphemy radiated from it.

That divine face, already twisted with raging fire, contorted further, as if he were looking at the enemy who had slain his father.

He roared toward the distant Hiro.

"Sinner! Have countless years in hell not taught you repentance! You dare use the forbidden weapon that once slew the Holy Son! I know now-the purpose of my descent this time is not to spread the Lord's glory, but Lucifer! You shameful traitor! This time, I will not cast you back into hell. I will crush your flesh and soul into dust and scatter them across the human world!!"

As Michael's roar faded, one blood-red longsword appeared.

Then two.

Then countless.

In an instant, the entire sky between Hiro and Michael was filled.

"Lucifer was cast down to hell?"

Facing the vast expanse of red light, Hiro muttered softly.

Dark rings slowly emerged in his azure [God-Slaying Evil Eye], stained with a faint, ominous purple that made it look even more eerie.

"So in this world, Lucifer and Satan are the same God. Like Athena, Hera, and Medusa."

One theory held that Lucifer and Satan were originally the same entity, later given different names through translation.

This came from the differing accounts of the leader of the one-third of angels who rebelled against God-called Satan in The Divine Comedy and Lucifer in Paradise Lost.

Another theory claimed that Lucifer, originally an angel, lost his honorific name after rebellion and gained the derogatory title "Satan" when Michael cast him into hell.

In Paradise Lost, the Archangel Raphael once said to Adam, "Satan is his present name; his former name is lost to the years."

"Sinner, die!!"

With Michael's roar, all the red swords descended at once.

Their target was clear.

The young man holding the [Longinus Spear].

Facing the overwhelming rain of longswords, so fast they raised no wind, Hiro's expression remained calm.

His eerie eyes narrowed slightly.

Immense DĹŤryoku poured out.

Ultra-Almighty Push!!

All the falling swords stopped instantly, frozen about twenty meters from him.

Then they reversed direction.

Spiraling back toward Michael himself.

Within the cluster of blood-red blades, the muscles in Hiro's right arm tensed.

He gripped the [Longinus Spear] tightly and hurled it with all his strength, guided by Haki, letting it blend seamlessly among the swords.

Hiro opened his mouth, amplified his voice, and sent it across the battlefield.

Mockery laced every word.

"You want to kill me with a mere Michael? If He hadn't intervened back then, I would've killed you already. Where would you have gotten titles like Simulacrum Dei or Light Wheel? After all this time, what confidence do you have to say you'll kill me?"
