  To humans, Heretic Gods were a disaster.

  And so were Campiohose who wielded the powers of Heretic Gods.

  Campiones slew Heretic Gods and usurped their [Authorities], proteg humanity in a way. That's why they were revered as Demon Lords.

  The Power of a Demon Lord was absolute, for they could defeat gods.

  But they were also feared.

  After all, they hold the power to destroy the world.

  If they were ahe sequences could be devastating.

  Yet, this powerful Campione had been effortlessly frozen solid before their very eyes.

  The shrine maidens couldn't believe it.

  "Is this okay?" Sona asked, looking at Roy with , seeing that the Sword King was dead.

  She wasn't worried about the Sword King's death itself, but about the potential repercussions.

  "It's fine. He came here to steal the Heretic God. He deserved it. I gave him a ce," Roy replied with a shrug.

  He had indeed given Salvatore a ce to leave.

  It was his own fault for not taking it.

  As for the sequences... Roy hadn't sidered that.

  But killing a Campione had both advantages and disadvantages for the world.

  The advantage was that if a Heretic God appeared, there would be a Campioo deal with it.

  But the disadvantage was that if a Campione was ahey could cause just as much destru as a Heretic God.

  It was a double-edged sword.

  But Roy didn't care about any of that.

  ...

  The Heretic God finally desded.

  "Did you summon me?"

  A powerful aura erupted from the magic circle, and a figure materialized within the pilr of light reag towards the sky.

  It was a muscur giant, hundreds of meters tall.

  This hobos, the son of Ares, the Greek god of war.

  In the inal story, Salvatore Doni had sin him and usurped his [Authority].

  "So this is a Heretic God? He seems quite strong," Esdeath ented, her eyes gleaming with predatory i.

  Phobos wasn't that powerful, only at the peak of Ultimate-css. He was a retively weak Heretic God.

  "Don't worry, Esdeath. There will be other Heretic Gods," Roy said with a chuckle.

  "Of course. I'm not ied in this one anyway. I prefer stronger oppos," Esdeath replied with a smirk.

  "So we gain his [Authority] by defeating him? But how do we eve him...?" Sona wondered, looking at the giant with a troubled expression.

  She wasn't a frontline fighter. She preferred strategy and tactics.

  But in this situation, ny seemed viable.

  "Sona, use this..." Roy summoned a massive mecha, a thousaers tall.

  It was Shikoutazer, the Supreme Teigu.

  Rias had used it to defeat the Demonic Spirit earlier.

  Shikoutazer could unleash power parable to an Ultimate-css.

  But it might not be enough to defeat this Heretic God.

  "And this should help." Roy took out aem.

  It was a divine sword that tried to fly away as soon as it appeared, but Roy caught it.

  This was the sword he had pulled from Tohru's ba the world of 'Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid'.

  It seemed to have a mind of its own and always tried to escape.

  "Behave yourself."

  Under Roy's powerful magic, the sword finally calmed down.

  It had been able to injure and even threaten Tohru's life, so its power was undeniable.

  Roy expined how to trol Shikoutazer to Sona, then had her ehe mecha.

  Shikoutazer's eyes glowed red, and it began to move.

  The shrine maidens were stunned. He could summon such a massive mecha so easily?

  This man was truly mysterious.

  Roy then threw the divine sword towards Shikoutazer.

  The swrew rger in mid-air, reag a hundred meters ih.

  Sona, trolling Shikoutazer, caught the sword and swung it a few times. The air rippled as if space itself was being cut.

  "Kaichou is amazing!"

  "Yes, but Roy-sama is also incredible! He gave her such a powerful on!"

  "If Kaichou defeats that guy, she'll bee a Campione, right?"

  ...

  Sona's peerage cheered excitedly.

  "Are you my oppo?" Phobos looked at the t Shikoutazer.

  "Yes, I am," Sona replied, her voice filled with excitement as she looked down from the mecha.

  "If you want my [Authority], then e a!" Phobos roared.

  He then invoked his divine power.

  "O priestesses of the God of Wine, summon the divine son! Revel in the divine wine of madness, abandon your homes, wahe forests, and worship us, yods!"

  The earth trembled.

  tless heavy cavalry emerged from the ground, charging towards Shikoutazer.

  This hobos's [Authority]: Iron Stampede.

  He could summon cavalry charges and even trol beasts of burden, carriages, cars, and any other vehicle that moved on nd.

  They would awaken a sense of worship towards him and attack, charge, and rampage under his and. He could trol tens of thousands of units.

  He could also equip them with steel armor, shields, battering rams, and bdes.

  This ability was even more powerful in a city, capable of destroying oh ease.

  The cavalry, each over a hundred meters tall, charged towards Shikoutazer.

  Although they were like children pared to the thousaer-tall mecha, Sona didn't uimate them.

  She activated all of Shikoutazer's ser ons.

  A barrage of sers rained down on the cavalry.

  BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!

  The isnd shook violently as if it was about to break apart.

  Massive waves crashed against the shore. It seemed the isnd was about to sink.

  Roy quickly transported everyoo the subspace.

  This way, even if Sona and the Heretic God's battle intensified, it wouldn't affect the outside world.

  Sona tinued her bombardment.

  The heavy cavalry couldn't get close.

  It wasn't that Phobos's [Authority] was weak. It was just that the individual cavalry units weren't that strong.

  A rge group of them together was still a threat.

  But against a war mae like Shikoutazer, they were helpless.

  "You're strong, challenger. But I won't lose," Phobos decred, seeing that his [Authority] was iive.

  He drew a rge sword and charged towards Shikoutazer.

  Sona raised the divine sword and blocked his attack.

  Although she wasn't trained in swordsmanship, she khe basics.

  g!

  To everyone's surprise, Phobos's sword shattered upon tact with the divine sword.

  Phobos was stunned.

  Sona seized the opportunity and struck.

  Slice!

  Phobos's head was severed, and blood rained down.

  "She did it! Kaichou succeeded!"

  "Sona has bee a Campione!"

  ...

  Tsubaki and the others cheered as they witheir leader sy the Heretic God.

  Yuri, Liliana, and the shrine maidens were also amazed.

  Another Campione was born!

  After witnessing Roy effortlessly defeat the Sword King, they were once agairuck by his power.

  "Roy, I did it!" Sona excimed excitedly, returning to the real world and leaping into Roy's arms.

  "Well done, Sona. Now, don't resist. Pandora will summon you soon," Roy said.

  "Pandora?" Sona was fused, and then lost sciousness.

  "Roy, is Sona alright?"

  "Is Kaichou okay?"

  "Sona?!"

  ....

  Rias, Tsubaki, and the others were worried.

  "Don't worry, she's been summoned by Pandora," Roy expined, holding Soly.

  Pandora was the one who mahe Campione reination ritual.

  Those who fought aed gods were usually on the verge of death.

  Of course, Sona's situation was different.

  Pandora would use the [Circle of Usurpation] to trahe defeated god's [Authority] and a body capable of wielding that power to the victor, turning them into a Campione.

  Roy's expnation reassured the girls.

  The Ritual would take some time, so Roy decided to find a pce for them to stay.

  He approached Liliana.

  "Your name is Liliana, right?"

  Liliana bowed respectfully. "Yes, sir. I am Liliana Kranjcar, a Knight of the Bronze Bck Cross."

  "Don't call me 'sir.' Just Roy is fiake us to yic association. We need a quiet pce to rest," Roy said.

  Voban had openly summoned a Heretic God here and even captured talented shrine maidens from various fas.

  Although they couldn't stop Voban, those fas were undoubtedly keeping an eye on this pce.

  The Bronze Bck ust be nearby.

  "Yes, Roy-sama." Liliana bowed again, gng at the unscious Sona in his arms.

  Sona had defeated a Campione and emerged unscathed. It was unbelievable.

  But it was the truth.

  And the man before her was even more scary. He had effortlessly defeated the Sword King.

  Even a Campione couldn't match his power.

  Liliana looked at Roy with a mix of awe and fear.

  Roy, notig her rea, shrugged helplessly.

  Then, he saw that Lucoa had healed the unscious shrine maidens.

  Those girls would have suffered mental breakdowns if left alone. Even if they survived, they would be like vegetables.

  They would be abandoned by their fas, no different from being dead.

  But Lucoa had saved them. She was truly kind.

  Roy and the girls, along with the rescued shrine maidens, followed Liliana's dires ahe isnd.

  After they left, the isnd crumbled and sank into the sea.
