Badr had already been surprised by the appearance of someone claiming to be Sun Wukong. Now, Cao Cao had entered the fray. He stared at the man standing in his yard, certain this couldn't be the Cao Cao from history.

"Explain yourselves," Rias demanded, her voice sharp. Badr's home was her home, and these uninvited guests were unwelcome. She was ready for a fight. They were clearly hostile.

"Greetings, Princess Gremory. We're here for her," Cao Cao said, gesturing towards Ophis. Despite being human, he exuded an unsettling calm.

"You want me dead, Cao Cao?" Ophis tilted her head slightly, her expression as blank as ever.

"Not exactly, Ophis. We need you. But not… as you are now."

Cao Cao's words were cryptic, but his killing intent was clear.

Badr sensed the potent energy radiating from the human, a surprising amount of power.

Could this also be due to Ophis's influence?

Ophis shook her head.

"I don't understand, but… I won't lose."

"Indeed. You're incredibly powerful," Cao Cao admitted with a sigh, a predatory smile spreading across his face. "To be honest, I have no idea what will happen if I challenge you directly. Let's find out!"

With a flourish, he lunged, his spear blurring through the air, piercing Ophis's chest.

Everyone watched in silence, even Ophis herself, as Cao Cao withdrew his spear. A gaping hole remained in her chest, but, as expected, no blood flowed. The wound began to close, regenerating rapidly.

Definitely not human.

Badr watched calmly, then turned to Kuroka. "He's with the Khaos Brigade, right? Is this a betrayal?"

"We were never really a team," Kuroka purred. "Vali and Cao Cao never saw eye-to-eye. We have our own agendas."

"So, whose idea was this attack? Yours or theirs?"

"Mostly theirs, though we did use you in our plans."

"Loki, you mean?" Badr recalled the incident. Vali had wanted Fenrir's fangs, and everyone had been caught in the crossfire.

Kuroka nodded. "That's right. In a situation like this… we should probably call Vali."

She activated a magic circle, and Vali Lucifer, his silver hair gleaming, stepped through the portal.

"Cao Cao and the Hero Faction… so you've finally made your move," Vali said, his gaze fixed on Cao Cao.

"Vali," Cao Cao sighed, "another unexpected summons."

"I swapped your position with Fenrir's," Kuroka explained with a wink.

Vali turned to Cao Cao. "So, you're targeting Ophis? Are you really going to use that thing? The Dragon Eater? I'm guessing it's either an artificial Sacred Gear or a new Longinus designed to kill dragons." He glanced at Badr but didn't acknowledge him, his focus remaining on Cao Cao.

Cao Cao held his spear aloft, the legendary True Longinus, the most powerful Longinus known to exist, wielded by a mere human.

"You're mistaken, Vali. Dragon Eater is just a codename. It's not something we created. It was made by the God of the Bible."

"Cao Cao, are you sure about this?" a voice behind him asked. It was Georg. "Should we really be telling them this?"

"It doesn't matter. It's time. Summon it. It's time to open the cauldron of hell."

"Heh… Understood. The time to devour infinity has come!" Georg grinned, activating a summoning spell.

The entire house shook violently as a magic circle materialized, radiating an ominous aura.

Badr frowned. They were turning his home into a battlefield.

He stepped forward, his voice cold.

"You're causing trouble in my house. And you think you can ignore me?"

Boom!

He slammed his palm into the magic circle, disrupting its flow, causing it to flicker and sputter. Cao Cao and the others looked up in surprise.

"Impressive power," Cao Cao remarked, raising the True Longinus. "But you can't stop me this time."

"Last warning. Get out of my house. Take your Khaos Brigade squabbles elsewhere," Badr said, his expression serious. This was their mess, not his. He wouldn't tolerate this intrusion.

"Sorry, kid, but the summoning's already begun. It's too late…" Georg shrugged.

The magic circle glowed brightly, and a terrifying presence filled the air.

A grotesque figure began to emerge. A head… a torso… black wings… and a cross…

It was a monstrous creature, impaled upon a cross. Half-Fallen Angel, half-serpent, bound and restrained, blood dripping from its eyes.

"The forbidden being that tempted the inhabitants of Eden, cursed by the God of the Bible. Samael," Cao Cao announced, his eyes gleaming with a predatory interest as he gazed upon the creature.

Badr and the others had heard rumors of Samael, the serpent from biblical mythology that had tempted Adam and Eve. They'd never imagined it would look like this.

Sensing the disturbance, Azazel reappeared, his eyes widening in shock as he saw Samael.

"…That's a creature from Cocytus. What is Hades thinking, allowing this thing to be summoned?"

"We spoke with him. He gave us permission, after setting multiple restrictions, of course," Georg replied calmly.

"…That bastard. Is he that upset about Zeus joining the alliance?" Azazel growled.

Badr's brow furrowed. Zeus… the king of the Greek Gods?

'Another deity'. He was no longer surprised by these unexpected appearances…

"Time to eat," Cao Cao said, snapping his fingers.

A stream of black energy, like a grotesque tongue, erupted from Samael's mouth, engulfing Ophis.

"…It's… absorbing my power?" Ophis murmured, her voice still devoid of emotion, despite the draining of her infinite power.

Swish!

Badr, King Sword flashing in his hand, sliced through the black energy, severing Samael's connection to Ophis.

His expression was cold, his patience wearing thin. They'd pushed him too far.
