On Anos's side.
Everything was very easy, and he did not bother hiding much.
[Monster Card: Savior Dragon.]
[Monster Card: Stardust Dragon.]
[Monster Card: Dark Magician Girl.]
[Using Dark Magician Girl as material, tuning with the Synchro Plate.]
[Synchro Summon: Savior Star Dragon.]
[Savior Star Dragon's effect activates.]
[Light of Salvation.]
As the effect of [Light of Salvation] activated, the opponent directly fell to his knees.
Then...
With an extremely simple baptism of sacred light, without even needing to use the Holy Spear or a simulated holy sword, the descendant of Satan, Asmodeus, completely vanished from the world.
"Uwaaaaaah!"
He did not even have time to properly feel that sacred power before he was purified by it.
"Stay with me for a little while, Savior Star Dragon."
Anos gently stroked the neck of Savior Star Dragon, who had taken the initiative to move closer, and spoke softly.
After evolving again through the Heart of Stars, Savior Star Dragon already possessed transcendent-level strength. Whether dealing with transcendents or beings beneath that level, it was all quite easy.
After Anos said that, Stardust Dragon gently flapped its wings and turned into a comet-like radiance, disappearing into the sky.
The one Anos wanted it to accompany was not his current self.
Rather...
It was the young god shining with sacred light.
Convergence Resonance.
This was the second time Anos had used this innate skill in front of others since the Apollo incident.
"Let me go take a look at that girl's battle."
Anos smiled.
Just now, he had also sensed the fluctuation of destruction from Sirzechs's side. It seemed Sirzechs had acted.
If Sirzechs had acted, then that person should have disappeared directly.
"Well then, Serafall. Facing someone who wants to seize your Satan position, I wonder how you will respond."
With a transfer formation, Anos headed toward the space where the two were fighting.
This area had already been transferred into another space by [Dimension Lost], while Serafall and Katerea should have gone to the dimensional gap, or to a temporary battle space created for combat.
If beings at Satan-class fought in the human world, they would cause tremendous damage.
Because of that, every major faction had basically developed an unspoken rule: if someone Satan-class or above wanted to fight, they should fight in another space.
Whether it was an already existing alternate space or a temporarily created one did not matter.
As long as it was not in the human world, that was fine.
"Serafall! What is wrong? Are you not supposed to be very strong? Why will you not answer me?"
The moment Anos entered the alternate space where they were fighting, he heard Katerea's voice, which sounded somewhat mad.
As if she wanted to pour out all the resentment and oppression she had felt for so long, she was attacking Serafall with a frequency that could only be described as insane.
"Perhaps this is the mentality of an avenger who suddenly obtained great power."
Anos smiled and shook his head.
If he had enemies, and if he suddenly gained the power to take revenge in a short period of time, perhaps he would be the same.
At most...
His planning would be much better than Katerea's.
But when the time truly came for revenge, the desire for vengeance in his heart would surely still be impossible to suppress.
"It looks like Serafall is being suppressed."
"No... more accurately, she is searching for an opportunity to counterattack."
The things Anos noticed were naturally different from what ordinary people saw.
Others would only notice that Serafall seemed to have fallen into a disadvantage.
However, in truth, Katerea had fallen into a state of frantic offense. The moment Serafall found an opening, or the moment Ophis's snake lost its effect, Katerea would meet her end.
"Should I do something a little interesting?"
Anos smiled and slightly raised his hand.
It was nothing major.
He was merely using his power to interfere with some insignificant things.
[Probability Constant Change, Elemental Energy.]
[Element Specification: Ice Element.]
With Serafall as the center and almost half of the alternate space as the radius, Anos altered probability constantly.
The designated element was ice.
The rule of probability alteration was that all ice elements would move in the direction opposite Serafall.
In other words, Serafall's use of ice-attribute magic in this world would be somewhat restricted.
It was not a very large restriction, but it would certainly make Serafall feel that this battle was different from usual.
Her flow of demonic power, the usage of her formations, and the eruption of ice elements would all be suppressed to a certain degree.
"Hm?"
Serafall, who was currently using magic for defense, noticed that something was wrong.
Why did using magic feel less smooth than before?
"You still have the leisure to get distracted?"
Katerea noticed that something was wrong with Serafall and immediately launched an even fiercer offensive.
Descendants of Leviathan had a chance to awaken a demonic power trait, [Severed-Tail Sea Serpent Dragon], which allowed them to obtain an effect similar to a weakened version of Ophis's infinite power.
Their own power would rapidly recover, whether from physical injuries or demonic energy.
This was originally a power very suited for drawn-out battles, but it did not match Katerea's current state.
After using Ophis's snake, she would weaken before long.
Because of that, she could only adopt this frantic style of attack that disregarded her own injuries.
In the original timeline, she had used the same kind of offensive against Azazel. At that time, she had merely specialized her body into an impossible-to-cut time bomb.
"Katerea-chan, is there truly no room for recovery?"
Serafall asked with slight reluctance.
Her battle experience and Katerea's were not on the same level, so she clearly understood Katerea's current condition.
Although Katerea had already chosen to completely tear away all pretenses, Serafall did indeed understand the importance of bloodline and position in their eyes.
There was no personal hatred between them.
There was only an intense, irreconcilable emotion born from opposing standpoints.
"If you abdicate right now and return the position and honor of Leviathan to me, then of course I will not continue pestering you!"
Katerea said that, but the speed of her attacks did not slow in the slightest.
Because both she and Serafall understood clearly that such a thing was completely impossible.
Even if Serafall agreed, the other Satans and the reformist devils would never agree to allow someone from the Old Satan Faction to become Satan.
Not to mention, Katerea was a hollow weakling. Without the snake, she did not even have the qualifications to face a Satan directly.
Such a person, even as a descendant of the old Satans, absolutely did not possess the qualifications to become one of the Four Great Satans.
Therefore, both Katerea and Serafall understood very clearly.
The only way for Katerea to sit on the throne was to overthrow the current system.
Just as the reformists had overthrown the Old Satan Faction, now was the time for the Old Satan Faction's revenge.
