Chapter 212
Chapter 212
As Vali began the sinister chanting, voices that did not belong to Vali or Albion came out of the jewels that began to glow.
Immediately, the jewels placed on his Balance Breaker began to flash, and voices that did not belong to him began to sing in malicious tones of excitement. The malicious auras around him began to grow thicker and stronger as the Hakuryuukous of the past expressed their resentment.
"... I am the Heavenly Dragon who stole the principles of God's supremacy."
[The dream ends!]
[And the illusion begins!]
The malice in the voices of their respective predecessors grew equally more malicious with each word that passed their lips. This time, the darkness at the edge of Vali's mind refused to retreat, no matter how hard he pushed. His breathing slowly grew heavier as he found it harder to keep himself under control.
"I envy the Infinite and chase the Dream!"
[Everything!]
[Yes, give us everything!]
Vali's Balance Breaker armor began to glow even brighter as it increased in size.
"I will become the White Dragon of Supremacy ..."
[No matter how much time passes ...]
[Or how the world changes ...]
[YOU ALL ALWAYS CHOOSE DESTRUCTION IN THE END!]
When Vali finished the penultimate verse of his incantation, his predecessors, the Hakuryuukous, shouted in crazed exaltation.
"... And I will take you to the limits of a white paradise!"
Vali shouted the last stanza in unison with his predecessors.
[Juggernaut Drive!]
The instant the last verse ended, Albion announced the command. In the next instant, the aura exploded into massive flashes of white light that illuminated everything within the confines of the barrier surrounding the school. Everyone nearby felt an immensely strong pressure pressing down on them, as well as a terrible sense of foreboding.
Scale Mails began to transform, growing and improving in several places. The Balance Breaker's helmet elongated upward, forming horns, and fangs appeared near the mouthpiece of the helmet, which became irregular. Vali's wings became larger, on his back. Her gauntlets and grills became claws. His metallic tail, which initially grew out of the part of the armor covering his upper back, disappeared and grew out of the part covering his tailbone. It grew thicker and spikes appeared around it, giving it a much more dangerous appearance. Vali was covered by a tremendously powerful aura, the color pure white.
Essentially, he had transformed into a human-sized bipedal dragon. And he was much, much more powerful than before. The sheer force of his presence was making the earth shake, and the ground crackled beneath him with every step he took. The barrier above him shook for a moment before glowing with blue light and stabilizing itself. It seemed that the leaders had done their job and reinforced the barrier.
This was the Juggernaut Drive, the strongest technique available to the Sekiryuutei and the Hakuryuukou. It temporarily unlocked most of the Heavenly Dragons' powers that had been sealed by the Bible God, inaccessible even with Balance Breaker. However, in return, the technique would drain his life force, and the malice of his predecessors, remaining within Boosted Gear and Divine Dividing even long after their deaths, would manifest at once and destroy the sanity of Sekiryuutei and Hakuryuukou.
Unlike Gilgamesh who fully mastered in the power of his Heavenly Dragon and could use all the power without worry, Vali used his immense demonic power to replace the cost of Juggernaut Drive and maintain his sanity at the same time, as long as he had the mental strength to repel the malice of the Hakuryuukou of the past.
All the leaders were apprehensive when Vali released his Juggernaut Drive, if Vali released this from the city the entire Kuoh would be destroyed.
Gilgamesh just looked on in boredom.
The power of Vali's Juggernaut Drive was certainly strong, on the level of a Satan Class being, perhaps God, however Vali had no control of all the power.
Nor did it compare to that of Gilgamesh who could really use the full power of Ddraig at its peak.
"Very well Vali, since you are going to use this I will also show you something interesting" Gilgamesh said as he smiled and Regulus' axe manifested in his hand.
[Hey partner what do you intend to do?] asked Ddraig.
"I will use the power of Regulus" said Gilgamesh who because he was speaking loudly everyone could hear his and Ddraig's conversation.
[You can't do that partner, our enemy is Albion, you must use my power] exclaimed Ddraig trying to convince Gilgamesh.
"Ddraig I already used you against Crom Cruach now it's Regulus' turn" said Gilgamesh seriously to the Dragon.
Due to Ddraig and Regulus being very fond of Gilgamesh using his power he had to take turns when he was going to use each one, with Arashi he didn't have that problem due to Arashi not caring about things like that.
"Yes, accept that lizard" said Regulus in axe form laughing.
[I'm a dragon you evil cat] shouts Ddraig angrily.
"And I'm a lion you damn lizard!" shouts Regulus again.
Everyone who was watching sweated at the conversation of the two Longinus.
"Does this always happen?" asked Vali as even he was feeling sorry for Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh sighed.
"You have no idea" said Gilgamesh sighing as sometimes he even regretted catching Ddraig and Regulus.
"Quiet both of you, you will get your turn Ddraig" said Gilgamesh making Ddraig grumble and Regulus laugh in victory.
Gilgamesh sighed before raising his axe which transformed into a huge golden Lion.
It was the Lion of Nemea, one of the strongest monsters in Greek mythology. The original Lion himself was one of the Twelve Labors that Hercules himself had to perform, along with the original Lernaean Hydra, the original Cerberus from the Realm of the Dead, and the Insomniac Dragon, Ladon, all of which were so legendarily powerful that each of them alone nearly killed the strongest Greek demigod on different occasions, second only to the King of Monsters, Typhon himself.
"Now where was I" spoke Gilgamesh before smiling.
"Balance Breaker"
[Balance Breaker]
Gilgamesh and Regulus Nemea roared in unison.
The golden Lion of Nemea transformed into a flash of golden light and wrapped itself around the body of the King of Heroes, solidifying into a set of golden armor with a lion's tem.1
The already thick layer of aura around his body became even thicker, so much so that everyone could feel his skin tingling with the force it emitted.
In fact, it almost seemed to be in the shape of a huge lion's head, with its jowls wide open, as if it were preparing to devour everything in its path.
Space itself shook and cracked just from Gilgamesh's mere presence, and even Vali recoiled when he felt the power.
Using his Balance Breaker Gilgamesh's power was so great that it surpassed most God Class beings.
Gilgamesh's power vibrated and was so great that even the Faction leaders felt overwhelmed by Gilgamesh's overwhelming aura that easily surpasses any of the members of the Three Factions.
Gilgamesh's presence became so overwhelming that no one could believe it.
It was as if the world itself was trying to bring them to their knees.
And that really happened.
The weakest of the nobility of Rias and even Grayfia fell to their knees on the ground as they had no strength to stand up.
The other leaders who were not kneeling still felt the immense pressure on their bodies.
They knew instantly in that form how much power Gilgamesh had.
At that level Gilgamesh was easily among the 10 Strongest Existences in the World.
"Very well Vali I will let you attack first" Gilgamesh said without moving as he crossed his arms.
However Vali took a while to register what Gilgamesh said as he was still startled by such power.
"What is that! That crushing pressure! Every cell in my body is begging me to get out of here, this is totally different from any power I've ever felt, not only the amount, but also the thickness, it's like an entire ocean is falling on top of me" Vali thought in awe.
But even in the face of this his thirst for battle didn't allow him to back down.
"Very well," said Vali with a huge smile.
