"An unknown Heavenly Dragon. This world really is interesting after all. Hahahaha."
Indra narrowed his eyes.
Everything around him was explaining one fact.
The other side had prepared for this long ago.
They had been prepared from the very beginning.
As expected of that person.
"So... you still cannot tell me what exactly is going on?"
Indra suppressed his excitement and his urge to explore the unknown as he asked.
"I believe this matter is better explained to you personally by the Lord."
Michael looked as though Indra could ask whatever he wanted, but he would not say a thing.
"That really does make a person lose patience."
The divine power lingering around Indra gradually dispersed.
With that person present, he definitely could not attack his Seraph. Otherwise, the result would be a complete falling out.
"Everyone..."
Under the radiance of the Biblical God and the pressure of the three great Heavenly Dragons, while all the gods remained silent and waited for the matter to develop further, a will once again came from the sky.
"Does no one intend to come to me? This time, I have something I wish to ask of everyone."
Such a will came from above.
"Come to me. Come here, and I will tell all of you everything."
After those words were conveyed into everyone's hearts, the light flickering in the sky gradually descended, falling to the place where the Sacred Cross stood.
With the Sacred Cross and three Heavenly Dragons circling in the air, it was an unmistakable landmark.
"Are you going?"
One god looked at another god he had only just met and asked.
They had not originally been traveling together, but after sensing that person's descent, they hurried out to take a look and formed a temporary partnership.
After all...
No matter how one looked at it, they seemed to have been trapped.
"Do you think we can break the barrier?"
The god temporarily accompanying him asked back.
"We already tried just now. There is absolutely no possibility."
It was depressing, but that was the result.
The other side's arrangements were extremely thorough.
All attacks had been nullified. This entire stretch of heaven and earth seemed to have become a world they no longer understood.
"If there is no way out, then do we have any choice other than going there?"
After smiling bitterly, he pointed out that fact.
They had also seen many powerful gods currently working to break the barrier.
But...
Without exception, none of their attacks had any effect. They were all neutralized with ease.
"Ah, you are right. But if it is that person, he should not do anything to us. After all, he is that person."
After sighing, the two gods stepped onto the road toward the place that person had designated.
...
At the foot of the Sacred Cross, releasing holy light.
The young god revealed his form for the first time, quietly descending upon Kuoh Academy.
Indra wanted to see his appearance clearly, but discovered that he could not.
There was always a layer of light lingering around his body, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
The young god was currently in a state where he could be observed, but not seen.
Since the Sacred Cross stood at Kuoh Academy, the gods the young god encountered immediately after descending were naturally Indra, Odin, and Thor.
"Biblical God, did you not already disappear? Was the information spread before false, or did you use some method to return?"
Odin frowned and asked.
He did not particularly mind.
After all, he held no malicious intentions, and every pantheon knew his usual way of handling things.
Then...
Why exactly had this Biblical God taken such action?
That was what confused Odin.
Although before the Biblical God passed away, he had already been the undisputed number two in the world, and some had even wondered whether he was actually number one, imprisoning gods from multiple pantheons at the same time was still dangerous.
If this was not handled properly, even the Biblical God might not be able to bear the consequences.
"What meaning is there in returning or not returning? I have always been with everyone."
The young god spoke softly.
Right now, he could indeed be said to be that person.
[Fallen Sacred Heart.]
By using [Fallen Sacred Heart], he had obtained part of that person's power. Combined with the divinity of the Biblical God, he could reproduce the majority of that power.
Adding the special nature of his own fighting style, even compared to the true Biblical God, he would not be much weaker.
"You have always been with everyone? In other words, you never passed away? Then what have you been doing all this time?"
Odin asked with great curiosity.
If the Biblical God had hidden his identity all this time for some special purpose, then now that he had appeared personally, did it mean his purpose had already been achieved?
"I have always been watching everything."
"It is only now... that the time has come when I must appear."
Such a will was conveyed through the holy light released by the young god.
"The time when you must appear?"
Odin did not quite understand what that meant.
The first thing he thought of was the powerful extradimensional fluctuation that had descended here some time ago.
"Are you referring to the powerful extradimensional fluctuation that descended here recently?"
Odin stroked his beard and asked.
His strength might not be considered especially powerful among those present, but perhaps he was the one most capable of speaking normally with that person.
After all, he had seen through many things.
"The time of change has arrived. Only power gathered together can win the future."
The young god nodded.
Using this power for the first time did not bring him any discomfort.
Although this might perhaps be the last time he used such power, he believed that as long as time continued to pass, he would definitely reach this level one day.
In terms of origin and constitution, after Hestia's divine origin had evolved through the Ark red sphere, it was not weaker than that of the true Biblical God.
After hearing the young god's words, Odin frowned.
"Are these Heavenly Dragons circling around you for that reason?"
He asked one of the questions he cared about most.
Logically speaking, dragons should at least be a race that person disliked. Why would dragons also linger around him?
"That is not the true reason, but it is not far off. After all, no one wishes to be destroyed."
"Hahahahaha!"
While the young god was speaking, the bald god from Mount Meru laughed.
Just now, he had already confirmed the strength of this barrier, the power of the three Heavenly Dragons, and the power of the Biblical God before him.
As expected, it really was that person from the past.
Only that person would cloak himself in holy light.
Only that person could possess such a terrifying formation.
Only that person could draw dragon souls out of Sacred Gears and materialize them.
"I must say, your return is truly something worth celebrating. In a world without you, I always felt a great deal of fun was missing."
Indra spoke in a deep voice.
