Erica was dumbfounded at this moment.
Putting aside Kaito, this unknown mysterious person, now there was another one!
Not to mention, this woman was way too beautiful!!
Erica considered herself very pretty and beautiful. She wouldn't dare claim to be the most beautiful in Italy, but she was certainly no slouch.
But this woman before her?
Could she be the most beautiful being in the universe!?
"You, you are..."
Stunned by the other's immense magical power and beauty, coupled with her apparent close relationship with Kaito, Erica felt compelled to back down again for the time being. She asked in a slightly humbler tone.
She urgently needed to know the identities of these two people.
Only by knowing the identities of Kaito and Sephie could Erica make some judgments, like which magic society they belonged to.
"My name is Sephie Michaela Deviluke."
'Hmm, never heard of it.'
Erica nodded, but couldn't recall ever hearing that name. Besides, it sounded a bit strange.
Woman's intuition told her this wasn't a name belonging to someone from this planet...
Too strange.
Moreover, whether in appearance or temperament, Sephie was no ordinary woman, let alone her immense magical power!
Although not as terrifying as a Devil King, she was not someone Erica could compare to.
"Hello, Mrs. Deviluke..."
"Then, sir? May I know your esteemed name?"
Erica turned to ask Kaito, only to see him shake his head, indicating he refused to give his name.
"You want to know my name? You're not worthy yet. When you can make my eyes light up someday, then we'll talk."
With that, Kaito waved his hand, turned, and continued strolling. Sephie, seeing this, smiled helplessly and followed behind him.
"Huh? Milord, wait! That stone tablet is really important, I..."
"Little girl, if you want to know his name, haven't you forgotten to introduce yourself first?"
Kaito didn't stop, but Sephie turned her head and said this to her.
Only then did Erica snap back to reality. Cursing her own rudeness and mistake, she quickly stated her name, including her magic society and other details.
This matter was still very important; she needed to know why these two mysterious and powerful individuals were here.
Especially...
Heretic Gods had appeared recently!
'Could, could it be that the two of them had come to slay the Heretic Gods?'
'If so... the two together, one each...'
'Hmm...'
The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. After all, two Heretic Gods had indeed appeared recently, and they were even fighting each other.
'Could this be why these two were here?'
Taking another step forward, Erica thought that if this were true, then she couldn't possibly ignore it.
After all, this was happening within their magic society's jurisdiction. Besides, the Copper-Black Cross needed a Devil King!
"Milord, if you need information regarding the Heretic Gods, the Copper-Black Cross might be able to assist you with something!"
"Milord, could you please stop and rest at the Copper-Black Cross?"
...
Erica caught up behind Kaito, speaking these words with the utmost respect and the most urgent tone.
Unfortunately, Kaito didn't stop. Instead, Sephie smiled and glanced at Erica.
"If possible, you'd better go back first and pay attention to world events."
Sephie's words carried a hidden meaning, leaving Erica stunned on the spot.
'World events?'
'What world events?'
'Had there been a huge earthquake somewhere? Or had an even more powerful Heretic God appeared and destroyed a continent or something?'
"I..."
Stammering, Erica couldn't form a complete sentence. She didn't know what to say anymore. Eventually, she could only stop, then quickly take out her phone to inquire.
Her Copper-Black Cross surely knew something.
And upon asking, she learned information that sent chills down her spine and made large drops of cold sweat pour down her forehead.
That was...
The planet was facing an apocalyptic crisis. The reason was that far out in space, an enormous space battleship, observed to be 200,000 meters long, was aiming its main cannon at the planet, ready to fire at any moment!
According to estimates, this main cannon could pierce the planet in one shot, completely destroying it!
'C-could it be them?'
Recalling Sephie's hint, Erica found this possibility increasingly likely!
Adding to her earlier intuition that Sephie didn't seem to be from this planet...
Indeed!!
Erica began to feel fear, while also feeling a sense of responsibility.
To prevent the planet from being destroyed, she had to do something! Even if it meant sacrificing herself, she had to stabilize the situation!!
Erica started walking again, hurrying towards Kaito, who was still strolling in the distance.
For Erica at this moment, the fact that Kaito and Sephie were still slowly shopping was extremely fortunate. If they had been walking purposefully, she might have lost them!!
"Mi, Milord! Please stop! I beg you!"
"Hmm? What do you plan to say this time?"
Kaito, holding some snacks and handing some to Sephie, turned his head curiously to look at Erica.
This time, he was looking forward to what Erica would do.
For example, would she say she wanted him to become a Devil King, and then the Copper-Black Cross would directly submit?
This was what Kaito thought. With an established magic society like the Copper-Black Cross, finding other Heretic Gods would be much more convenient.
Relying on external help to find Heretic Gods wasn't shameful; efficiency was what mattered.
Then he could summon and kill them one by one, until Pandora didn't even want to see him anymore?
"Um... I beg you, Milord, please take the spaceship out of combat mode! I can give anything, even myself!"
'Oh, Erica was offering herself?'
'Wait!'
'What spaceship combat mode?'
"Oh my, did I forget to make it invisible?"
Sephie smiled as she answered, but she hadn't actually cared about whether it was invisible or not. What could they do even if they discovered it?
Could this planet's technology launch a powerful attack to damage her [Royal Spear]?
Forget activating any shields, they probably couldn't even affect the ordinary outer armor, right?
This planet destroyer [Royal Spear], if pushed, could simply ram into the planet and then easily perform a warp jump while enduring the explosion!
"Ahem..."
Hearing this, Kaito was also a bit startled.
'No wonder Erica looked so panicked and anxious. It turned out the planet destroyer Sephie brought wasn't invisible!'
'I had thought it was always in stealth mode.'
'After seeing a battleship parked outside the planet, were the people of this world scared to death?'
