"My deepest apologies!"
Testarossa knelt on one knee, her face full of shame. "To have lost contact with you at such a critical moment, leaving you to fight alone..."
"Don't worry about it."
Rin comforted her, telling her not to dwell on it.
It was not their fault to begin with.
Amon-Ra's Authority, which could seal time, had been unexpected by Rin and the others.
Moreover, in that situation, even if Rin had summoned them in the forms of Lucifer and Lilith, it would have been useless.
After all, only In the Name of the Father could break the seal of the Trinity Sun God.
What's more, Testarossa was his woman.
He never harshly criticized his family.
"Where's Diablo?"
"He went to hunt down Set."
"..."
Rin was startled at first, then immediately understood.
Diablo must have been furious, thinking Set had set a trap for Rin and caused him to lose contact with them.
"So, what's the result?"
"No news yet."
"I see."
Rin said, "Let him vent a bit."
To be honest, he was not optimistic that Diablo could catch Set.
Set seemed to help summon Osiris, but secretly left the final, incomplete body parts, allowing Osiris to become the vessel for Amon-Ra's descent.
Rin could not help but suspect that he did it on purpose.
"Osiris and Set..."
Based on the hidden information in the Solar Calendar, Rin learned the conditions for Amon-Ra's descent.
One was for Osiris to achieve a balance of life and death, becoming the sole master of both life and the afterlife. Only then would he be qualified to become Amon-Ra's vessel.
The other was Set.
When Set defeated Osiris and completely devoured him, he could also welcome Amon-Ra's descent.
"So, I was used as a pawn."
Set and Osiris probably both had the mission of bringing back Amon-Ra.
It was just that Osiris's Heretic God descent had been interrupted by Marquis Voban back then, and Set, having graduated from being a Heretic God, only wanted to enjoy life in the human world.
At that time, Rin suddenly appeared and asked him to summon Osiris.
Set played along, completed the Heretic God summoning, and left the jar behind.
Perhaps in his view, Rin facing Amon-Ra meant certain death.
"I'll remember this debt."
Rin instructed Violet to keep an eye on Set's whereabouts and notify him immediately once that scoundrel was found.
Having been tricked, he would not let it go so easily.
"Rin, where are we going next?"
"Japan."
After plundering the origins of Greece and Egypt, Rin already possessed the power to sweep through everything in the Campione World.
Of course, the Last King was an exception.
His Magic Power was a thousand times that of an ordinary Campione.
One thousand times. It sounded like a joke.
And the more Campiones there were in the current era, the more his power would increase exponentially.
One could imagine what kind of terrifying monster Rin would face when the Last War arrived.
Because of his intervention, the Last King's power would definitely be stronger than in the original story.
"First, let's get rid of Susanoo, who has been causing trouble behind the scenes, and while we're at it, plunder the origin of the Takamagahara pantheon."
Hinata's situation was not good. She was almost constantly under surveillance.
This displeased Rin greatly.
Hinata was his person.
As her older brother, how could he remain indifferent when his little sister was wronged?
Susanoo and the Historical Compilation Committee in Japan.
You have chosen the path of death.
Afterward, Rin ignored the reactions of Egypt's mystical side and paid no attention to whether it would attract the notice of other Campiones.
From the Solar Calendar, he summoned a sun raft named Mandjet.
Then, riding this mythical airship, he headed toward Japan.
"It appeared..."
At the same time, in the Council of Sages in England, Princess Alice recovered from her previous spiritual vision backlash.
As a special consultant to the Council, she held a transcendental position.
The results she observed through her spiritual vision were regarded as the Authority of the Council and had never been wrong.
"A new Campione, the seventh earthly demon king."
These were the first words she spoke after waking, and the amount of information they contained shocked the entire Council of Sages.
"A new Campione?"
"The Seventh King?"
"At such a time..."
"Could it be that incident in Athens?"
For a moment, the members of the Council recalled the descent of Heretic Gods in Athens not long ago.
A total of five Heretic Gods had descended simultaneously in the same place without any time difference.
Setting aside how bizarre it was for five deities to appear at once, what was even more concerning was that after they descended, they caused no destruction and then vanished without a trace.
The witches under the Council continuously used their spiritual vision to search.
However, they obtained no information at all.
It was not until Princess Alice awoke that a clear answer emerged. The Seventh King had slain Heretic Gods.
"What about the remaining four Heretic Gods?"
Facing the sages' confusion, Alice replied, "Two of those Heretic Gods fell at the hands of the other two."
In other words, the Heretic Gods clashed and killed each other in pairs.
However, the two surviving Heretic Gods left her quite perplexed.
Because they, one black and one white, suddenly disappeared without a trace.
This disappearance was very strange.
It was not as if they had escaped into the Netherworld, nor were they sent back to the myths. Rather, they continued to exist in the world in some unknown state.
Although such situations rarely occurred, Alice still found the most probable answer through her spiritual vision, from ancient memories.
"Subordinate Gods."
She said, "Those two Heretic Gods were subdued by the Seventh King and became his Subordinate Gods."
"!!!!"
Good heavens, this news was even more shocking than all the previous information combined.
Subduing a Heretic God and turning it into a Subordinate God.
This kind of thing had not happened for at least several hundred years.
As for the more distant past, it was from there that Princess Alice found corresponding examples.
Campiones of ancient times had indeed managed to turn Heretic Gods into Subordinate Gods.
Subordinate Gods do not grant Authorities to Campiones.
But they can be summoned by Campiones to assist them in battle.
