Multiverse Gacha

[223] Rejected!

Swoosh~

A slender knight's sword appeared in front of the three.

"Durandal, a sword from the famous epic poem 'The Song of Roland,' the primary hero among the twelve knights serving Emperor Charlemagne of the Frankish Kingdom, wielded by the heroic paladin Roland."

Following that, another sword emitting a vibrant red magical aura materialized.

"Dainsleif, a legendary demonic sword held by Sigurd in the medieval epic poems 'The Song of the Nibelungs' and 'The Saga of the Volsungs,' also known as the Cursed Sword."

Next, a long spear manifested.

"Gungnir, the spear of declaration of the great god, held by Odin in Norse mythology. Its power is exceptionally formidable, and when thrown, it is like a meteor, sure to hit its target."

The moment these weapons appeared, Azazel couldn't sit still. That was Odin's weapons.

"Hey, are you kidding me? Gungnir? That's Odin's weapon, that old guy's spear!"

"This isn't a divine weapon from Odin in this world. It's a Noble Phantasm, as I mentioned before. Noble Phantasms are the crystallization of human imaginations. Of course, you can understand them as weapons from other worlds."

Listening to August's explanation, both Azazel and Vali couldn't help but twitch their lips.

These were just three items, but behind August, there were densely packed weapons, appearing to be at least a few hundred Noble Phantasms.

"Are you telling me these are weapons from other worlds?"

A mocking expression appeared on Vali's face. Even though she hadn't heard of them, who could prove that these weapons weren't crafted by August himself? As for their names, that was entirely up to him.

"Oh? You don't believe it?"

"Your explanation makes it hard for me to believe. I admit you're strong, but claiming to have weapons from other worlds and offering to take me to those worlds in the future, do you believe that yourself?"

"Well, it's a pity. You're the first person I've invited who turned me down."

"Because I saw through it, you gave up?"

Vali sneered. The fighting spirit she had against August had disappeared. Although he was powerful, he had disappointed her.

"Give up? No, I'm just sighing. Originally, you could have witnessed a broader world, but now, you've given up on all of that yourself."

Vali smiled at this and didn't care. Even if her life was in the hands of the other party, her character was such that she wouldn't flatter to survive. In her view, it was better to kill her than to compromise like this.

[White, your host missed an opportunity.]

[Red, have you also been brainwashed?]

[You′ll understand later. I don't care to explain now.]

[Red, you...]

As a rival, Albion knew Ddraig the best. Although she had a bad temper and was proud as a Heavenly Dragon, she wouldn't lie, this was her pride.

For a moment, Albion was somewhat uncertain. After all, August's speech was indeed shocking.

Within August's mental world, through the cage of the Red Dragon Emperor, Ddraig could see everything outside. That's why she found it laughable regarding Albion and the current host of this generation.

Her current host was a monster among monsters. Even her dragon soul, which was at the level of a Heavenly Dragon, could only reside in a corner of his mental world. She couldn't even see through his mental world.

Such an existence, she would believe in such an existence, even if it was a demon god from another world.

More importantly, many of the abilities August possessed and even his talents were entirely different from this world.

Especially the abyss of darkness within him, deep within, there was something terrifying, something that even she feared. Once released, even the Gods of the Bible who sealed her, wouldn't be a match.

August didn't bother with Vali anymore. Since she had been rejected, there was no point.

August was just doing some experiments on the people in this world, he was curious about how they would respond to the news he brought, especially Vali who was known for looking for challenges, would she believe it easily or not?

He was just curious about that, nothing more.

"Azazel, remember the promise you made to me. Pay attention recently."

"Don't worry, I'll work overtime to create them for you."

"Then I can rest easy."

"Just a small matter."

Although August's 'Multiverse Theory' seemed a bit fantastical to Azazel, he had indeed let Vali go, and that meant he owed a favor. In this world, repaying favors was the most challenging thing.

After dispelling the demonization and putting away the Noble Phantasms summoned by his treasury, August's strength returned to its peak.

However, this battle today also brought August some gains.

Like how it felt to have the power of a Level 8 or Satan.

Vaguely, August also discovered that his path to advancing as a Demon Lord was entirely different from others. The reason was simple, his Original Sin of Lust.

After all, his strength was at Level 7, not the Ultimate-Class Devil in this world, but just at the same level. Without a doubt, his path to advancement was different.

Not paying attention to Azazel and Vali, August left directly.

"Vali, maybe, you must trust that monster."

"Azazel, do you believe in his words too?"

"I don't know if what he said is true or false, but his so-called 'Noble Phantasms' are indeed different from sacred gears, and besides, other worlds do exist."

"You're not joking, right, Azazel."

"Of course not. However, it's all in the past now. Everything has been settled, whether it's true or false."

Vali glanced at the place where August disappeared, opened her mouth to speak but ultimately didn't say anything.

Azazel sighed, used healing magic to help Vali recover some injuries, and then left with her.

However, today's events planted a seed in Vali and Azazel's hearts.

At some point in the future, this seed would sprout and grow.

On the other side, August returned home, but at the moment, his home had quite a few guests.

Upon entering, August noticed the presence of several people. Sona, Tsubaki, Rias, Akeno, and Koneko, all of them were in his home?

"You finally came back. Tell me, what exactly happened just now?"

As soon as he entered, August saw Sona, who was sitting on the sofa like a hostess, speaking to him.

In an instant, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward. This was August's home, how did it suddenly feel like Sona's home ground?

On the side, Hilda and Yolda prepared tea, brought out snacks and fruits for everyone.

August had just experienced a major battle and had been bluntly rejected, and now that he was back home, he unexpectedly encountered this situation.
