"Hey! What the hell is a Kamen Rider supposed to be?!"
After Anos vanished, Jeanne stomped her foot in frustration.
"Wait…"
A thought suddenly struck her.
"Kamen Rider… could that be some kind of foreign hero?"
Technically, yes.
Just not the kind she was imagining.
"If someone capable of relocating an evil dragon instantly joined the Hero Faction… that would be incredible."
Her expression turned serious.
They already had Georg, wielder of Absolute Demise, as their master of formations and spatial manipulation. But reliable allies were always welcome.
"Decided! I'll ask Cao Cao what a Kamen Rider is when I get back!"
The country-born saint had absolutely no idea.
—
Meanwhile.
Anos chose to transfer to a desolate region of the Underworld.
Here, even catastrophic battles were unlikely to draw unwanted attention.
"ROAAARRR—!"
Within the Tenfold Absolute Seal, Vritra's remnant soul thrashed violently, dark energy crashing against the formation walls.
This was the fury of a Dragon King.
"Troublesome…"
Anos hovered above, adjusting the formation's parameters mid-air, converting its suppression mode specifically for evil-aligned dragon entities.
Normally, the array only optimized against demonic, holy, or divine energies.
"Ark Sphere: Execute command 001."
[Acknowledged]
[Executing command 001]
A crimson-gold radiance burst from within his body.
His irises turned molten gold, starlight flickering endlessly within them.
The divinity of the God of the Bible is stated.
Not fully—
But enough.
[Sacred Overclock Mode — Loaded.]
Sacred Overclock Mode was the state achieved when he drove the divine core to its current limit.
Even without Ark Sphere synchronization, the divinity possessed this capability but with unstable output and a high risk of backlash.
With the Ark Sphere integrated, stability improved.
And new functions emerged.
"…Still not enough."
He sighed.
Divinity was like a high-end processor.
But physique, faith energy, equipment, techniques—
Those were the motherboard, GPU, and peripherals.
Without proper hardware, even the strongest CPU is limited by its performance.
Right now, he was forcing the processor beyond what his physical vessel should allow, achieving temporary extreme computational capacity and amplified holy output.
Previously, one judgment calculation required 0.1 seconds.
Now—
Less than 0.001.
The difference was astronomical.
For example—
"Sword."
He extended his hand upward.
A golden blade materialized instantly.
[Simulated Holy Sword — Excalibur]
Not the Excalibur of this world.
Its design unmistakably mirrored the radiant holy blade of another legend.
He had long wondered—
How could a Servant unleash devastating Noble Phantasms fueled by such a small amount of mana?
So he had studied magical output routes, repeatedly simulating, refining, and optimizing weapon constructs.
This blade had been simulated, refined, and re-simulated countless times within two seconds of entering Sacred Overclock Mode.
One objective:
Maximum destructive output.
Minimal energy cost.
"Mana, lend me more power."
"Yes, Master!"
Within the limits of the card system, Dark Magician Girl poured magic into him without hesitation.
[Holy Power Injection]
His spiritual output surged.
He fed that purified holy energy directly into the Tenfold Absolute Seal.
Under Overclock Mode, the purity of his holy power was leagues beyond normal.
Against evil-aligned dragon aura—
The suppression effect was immediate.
The formation plate he had thrown earlier was a standardized construct. It required active reinforcement.
"ROAAARRR!"
Feeling both threat and soul-deep agony, Vritra's remnant unleashed a storm of malignant curses.
Vritra was a Dragon King renowned for curses.
"Still resisting? You're barely conscious, Stay still."
With a thought—
Dozens of radiant blades materialized in the sky.
[Simulated Holy Sword — Demon-Slaying Blade Est]
In mere seconds, he reconstructed the conceptual attributes of the demon-slaying holy sword.
With divinity-driven holy power of this purity, replicating sacred constructs was trivial.
Even without original materials—
The output rivaled the source.
And Est's most iconic trait?
Curse severance.
A shrill cascade of holy resonance tore through the battlefield.
Countless blades pierced through Vritra's curse-laden winds and embedded into the dragon's massive spiritual body.
A dragon of that size couldn't dodge.
And here—
This was Anos' domain.
Within his formation.
He had infinite leverage.
Vritra's remnant soul—
Was trapped prey inside a sealed jar.
The suppression had begun.
