Chapter 239
EPHS-CHAPTER 239: WHAT CAN STOP ME?
Inside the hotel, the divine conference had already begun, while Tenraku, Rias, and the other girls were stationed on the rooftop of the hotel building, ready for action. The night wind howled, bringing a chilling sensation that couldn’t be ignored. Teams of guard servants patrolled the sky.
At a certain moment, Tenraku, who had been resting his eyes, suddenly opened them and exclaimed, “They’re here!”
As soon as Tenraku spoke, the sky above the hotel distorted and a pitch-black rift tore open. Under the gaze of everyone, a silver-haired cloaked man stepped out from the black hole, standing on top of a gigantic wolf’s head. It was none other than Loki and the demonic wolf Fenrir!
“Attack!” Upon seeing the enemy’s arrival, hundreds of guard servants ascended into the sky and launched an assault on Loki and Fenrir. With a cold smile on his face, Loki snapped his fingers. Immediately, Fenrir beneath his feet opened its massive jaws and let out a roaring growl, “Roar!”
“Ahhhhhhhh…” The tremendous soundwave caused ripples in space itself. Countless guard servants vomited blood and were sent flying back, while the barrier protecting the hotel building flickered with chaotic light, and was on the verge of collapsing. What a terrifying monster! Just one roar had such tremendous power!
“Rias, Sona!” Tenraku shouted, and Rias and Sona immediately took action, activating the large-scale teleportation magic they had prepared in advance.
A massive barrier-shaped magic unfolded in the air, enveloping Loki, Fenrir, Tenraku, and the girls. Loki seemed to be aware of what was happening, but he merely smiled indifferently without offering any resistance.
In the next moment, a flash of light appeared, and everyone enveloped by the barrier disappeared without a trace…
When Tenraku and the girls opened their eyes, they found themselves in a spacious open field. This was a specially created space to deal with Loki. After all, fighting such a powerful enemy in the Human World would cause massive destruction even in the aftermath of the battle.
“What a young bunch of faces. State your names. Your courage alone is worthy of praise,” Loki said, looking down from atop Fenrir’s head.
“Kamiya Tenraku.”
“Rias Gremory.”
“Sona Sitri.”
Tenraku, Rias, and Sona stated their names, while the other girls stood guard with extreme vigilance, led by the three. Originally, Gasper wanted to join the battle after hearing about it from Azazel.
However, his Evil Eye had little effect against enemies much stronger than him and would only be a burden.
So Tenraku decided not to let Gasper participate this time and instead allowed him to continue his training with the Grigori. In addition, even Ravel, who was not skilled in combat, was left at home.
“I see. Demon King Sirzechs Lucifer’s younger sister, Demon King Serafall Leviathan’s younger sister, and the renowned miracle child of the Phenex family who possesses the power of two Heavenly Dragons,” Loki said, acknowledging Tenraku, Rias, and Sona as the rising stars.
Although they were just small fries, Loki had heard of Tenraku, Rias, and Sona. However, despite their reputation, Loki didn’t pay much attention to them. After all, they were still just kids. When Loki had gained his fame, their parents were probably still unknown.
“Loki-Sama, we don’t really want to be your enemies. How about you retreat now? That way, everyone can live in peace,” Tenraku suggested, though he knew the chances were slim.
“Hmph, that’s impossible. I will eliminate that damned traitor Odin and make the angels, fallen angels, devils, and the Gods of the Eastern God System witness the might of the Northern European gods. If you dare to obstruct me, you will also become my enemies!” Loki coldly rejected Tenraku’s proposal without hesitation.
“Loki-Dono, please cease your rampage! The gods of Northern Europe, including myself, seek peace, not war, and ruin!” Rossweisse, adorned in her magnificent Valkyrie battle attire, protested loudly against Loki.
“A mere woman has no right to speak of the matters of us Gods, Rossweisse. You, like Odin, are a traitor to the Northern European god system!” Loki arrogantly dismissed Rossweisse’s protest, completely ignoring her.
“Fenrir, tear her apart!” He commanded, directing his demonic wolf to kill Rossweisse without hesitation.
“Roar!”
“Scatter!”
With a mighty roar, Fenrir lunged toward them, and Tenraku and the girls quickly leaped away, avoiding the attack.
“Loki, even though you are a powerful god and Fenrir is a notorious demonic being, do you really think you can overpower us so easily?!” Tenraku’s expression turned dark as he realized that there was no avoiding the battle.
“HāHāHā… You’re not entirely wrong. Even a swarm of ants can bite and kill an elephant if they gather in large numbers,” Loki chuckled. “Let me show you, my beloved children!”
With a triumphant smile, Loki’s gaze turned cold as he swiftly unleashed two summoning magics.
“Appear, Sköll and Hati!”
Under the vigilant eyes of Tenraku and the girls, the space on either side of Loki distorted. Accompanied by a deep growl, two giant gray wolves, resembling Fenrir, crawled out from within. It was shocking enough to face one Fenrir, but now there were three!
Tenraku and the girls were taken aback by this unexpected development. Loki, with a smug expression, spoke, “These are the offspring of the Giant women from the Steel Forest who transformed into wolves and mated with Fenrir. Though they may be inferior to their parents, the most important ‘God-slaying Fangs’ are still intact, and they should be enough to bury those Gods and you Devils!”
“You’ve brought forth these terrifying monsters as well. Loki, you truly are capable of anything!” Tenraku’s expression grew grim.
“HāHāHā… Little brat, do you think it ends here?” Loki laughed mockingly.
“Appear, Gigantis Dragon!”
Once again, amidst Loki’s laughter, he began to unleash multiple summoning magics. To the disbelief of Tenraku and the girls, a gigantic five-headed snake-like gray Gigantis Dragon emerged slowly from the magical formation in the sky.
The dragons were slender and each head was dozens of yards in size. They emitted an aura of gray ruin and produced ear-piercing dragon hums as they flew and circled in the air.
“The Gigantis Dragon… No, wait, this aura!”
Even Tenraku couldn’t help but have a drastic change in his expression. However, he quickly noticed something.
This wasn’t the true Gigantis Dragon!
“It seems you’ve already noticed. Yes, these are just mass-produced ‘Gigantis Dragon.’ While they may not compare to the main body, each one possesses the strength of a Top-Class Devil among you Devils!” Loki declared with pride.
“Now, do you understand, little brat? This is the difference between you and me,” Loki sneered. “Fenrir, Sköll, Hati, and five mass-produced Apocalyptic Gigantis Dragons. What can you do to stop me?”
“HāHāHāHāHā!!!”
To be continued…
PS: In the anime, due to budget constraints, the gathering of the new generation Devils and the divine conference were merged together. Loki, who even Vali fears, has been noticeably weakened in terms of power. Fenrir, once comparable to the fully empowered Heavenly Dragons, has become a mere side character. Despite taking a bite out of the Oppai Dragon, there was no sense of how powerful he truly was…
