Kaguya Shinomiya and the others fell into deep thought. After all, this choice was related to their respective futures, and they absolutely could not be careless.
After a long period of silence—
Hayasaka Ai was the first to end her contemplation, looking at Amami Daizen and saying, "Amami-sensei, I choose Onmyōdō!"
Tianhai Dashan nodded in a friendly manner.
Afterwards, Hayasaka Ai walked behind Tenkai Daizen. She had given her choice of the Yin-Yang Path very much thought. After all, her ranking reward on the [Immortal Beauty Ranking: Power of Seeing Ghosts] was the lowest level among everyone. This was her only advantage that allowed her to embark on the path of cultivation. For example, Katsura Kotonoha, who ranked eighty-fifth on the [Immortal Beauty Ranking], had a ranking reward of [Basic Physique Modification], which greatly improved her physique. Moreover, she had also awakened the [Power of Seeing Ghosts]. In this respect, she could not compare to her and had more choices.
The second choice is Snow White and Black Snow White.
"We choose abyssal magic!"
After saying that, he was already standing behind Rias.
"I also choose abyss magic!"
Kaguya Shinomiya followed closely behind Rias, standing behind her.
At this moment, Katsura Kotonoha also made her choice, walked up to Arima Kishou, and respectfully said, "I choose the way of the sword. Please take good care of me, Arima-sensei!"
"You have a good foundation in swordsmanship, so choosing the path of the sword is the right decision."
Arima Kishou commented.
At this point, the only one who hasn't made a choice is Asuna Yuuki.

Chapter 52: The Nemesis, the White Dragon Emperor
Asuna Yuuki is finding it difficult to make a decision—
In truth, neither swordsmanship, nor abyssal magic, nor the Yin-Yang path were the ideal paths of cultivation she desired. Moreover, she possessed a divine artifact. In the end, her gaze settled on Rias.
"Um, Rias, I'd like to ask you, do you know anything about the development of divine artifacts?"
"Divine Artifact?!!"
Rias was taken aback, and quickly looked at Asuna Yuuki, saying, "You're the wielder of a divine artifact?!"
Yuuki Asuna nodded.
"Do you know what kind of magical artifact it is?!"
"It's one of the thirteen God-Slaying Gears, the [Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets]!"
To this, Asuna Yuuki made no attempt to hide her power, immediately summoning a crimson dragon hand that enveloped her entire left hand with an aura of dominance. A large, exquisitely crafted emerald-green gem was inlaid in the very center of the dragon hand, and a faint dragon's might rippled through the training ground. It was as if a heavy stone was pressing on Kaguya Shinomiya's chest, making her feel extremely heavy-hearted, as if a large stone was pressing down on her chest.
"It's actually the [Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets]! I never imagined Asuna would be the current Crimson Dragon Emperor!!!"
Rias said in surprise.
I really didn't expect to encounter the current Crimson Dragon Emperor here; it's quite dramatic.
Kaguya Shinomiya, Princess Shirayuki, Kotonoha Katsura, and the others were also greatly shocked. Yesterday, they learned from Teru Kanzaki that Asuna Yuuki's body housed a divine artifact. Although they knew that the divine artifact that Teru Kanzaki had his eye on must be a powerful existence, they really did not expect that it would be one of the God-Slaying Gears, the [Red Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets].
"The Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets, I've heard, are divine artifacts that can amplify one's own power..."
Arima Kishou pushed up his glasses, seemingly trying to calm his shock.
"To be more precise, it can double the holder's power every ten seconds in the human realm. Although it's only temporary, it grants power surpassing that of demon kings and gods. Moreover, if raised to its limit, it can even kill gods, but it is limited by the host's body..."
Rias explained in detail to everyone.
"Asuna, would you be interested in becoming my familiar? Don't worry, our Gremory family is the most affectionate lineage among demons, we won't..."
However, Rias was interrupted by Asuna Yuuki before she could finish speaking.
"I'm sorry, Rias, I'm afraid I can't agree to that!"
"That's a real shame."
Rias shook her head regretfully. After all, if she had a familiar with a God-Slaying Gear, her win rate in the ranking game would undoubtedly increase significantly.
"I know quite a bit about the development of divine artifacts, and the archives of the Gremory family also contain information about the Crimson Dragon Emperors of past generations. If you don't mind, I will do my best to help you develop this [Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlet]."
"Thank you!"
Yuuki Asuna thanked him after receiving a satisfactory reply.
Immediately, Asuna Yuuki seemed to remember something and asked, "Rias, do you know what the White Dragon Emperor is?!"
Previously, Kanzaki Teru and Draig had discussed the issue of her nemesis, which undoubtedly caused her great anxiety. Fortunately, Rias knew a lot about this, and she hoped to find the answer from her.
As for Kanzaki Teru, that mean-spirited and stingy guy, Yuuki Asuna doesn't even need to think to know that he would never kindly tell her that.
"The host of each generation of the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets is called the Crimson Dragon Emperor, and the corresponding one is the White Dragon Emperor, the host of the God-Slaying Artifact, the White Dragon Emperor's Wings. Due to the causal entanglement between the artifacts, whenever the two appear in the world at the same time, they will engage in a life-or-death battle that almost sweeps across the three realms. This is the origin of the destiny of the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets."
Seeing Yuuki Asuna's slightly nervous expression, Rias comforted her, "However, you don't need to worry. So far, we haven't heard any news about the [White Dragon Emperor], so they probably won't appear at the same time."
However, as soon as Rias finished speaking, she noticed that Kaguya Shinomiya, Snow White, and the others were looking at Asuna Yuuki with pity.
Asuna Yuuki's face turned deathly pale.
"what happened?"
Rias was slightly puzzled.
There was a few seconds of silence—
Asuna Yuuki said with concern, "Rias, the White Dragon Emperor has been born, and he's a powerful demon king at that level."
She had previously harbored a sliver of hope, wondering if her understanding of the word "arch-enemy" was flawed. Now that it had escalated to a "life-or-death battle," with her current strength, she could easily annihilate a Demon King-level powerhouse.
"how come?!"
Rias looked slightly bewildered and surprised.
"There has never been any information about the White Dragon Emperor in the Three Realms, yet he has become a Demon King-level powerhouse."
"Sigh, it was that guy Kanzaki Teru who said it."
Asuna Yuuki sighed.
"Kanzaki Teru... According to His Majesty the Demon King Ajeka, he has a connection with the Blue Emperor."
Rias pondered.
If it were that person, they might actually know some things that she didn't know, after all, the only difference between the two is their level of strength.
It's not related to the Azure Emperor; that guy is the Azure Emperor himself.
Yuuki Asuna trusted Kanzaki Teru's words to a considerable extent; perhaps the White Dragon Emperor and Kanzaki Teru even knew each other.
Let's expose her to our nemesis, the White Dragon Emperor!
This is a deliberate act of revenge against her!

Chapter 53: Cao Cao
While Kaguya Shinomiya, Asuna Yuuki, Princess Shirayuki, and others were undergoing their first training session in the training ground.
The castle tower, fourth floor—
The room is decorated in a magnificent style, with an area of nearly 200 square meters. Anyone who enters this room for the first time would probably subconsciously think that this is a five-star presidential suite. Antiques and calligraphy and paintings are just like decorations that can be seen everywhere, adorning the surroundings.
It has everything: an office, a dressing room, a wine rack, a desk, a bathroom... and even a balcony.
The decoration and layout of this room are among the best in the entire castle, comparable only to the room where Shigu Yan'an lived.
And the owner of this room is none other than Kanzaki Teru.
At this moment——
Kanzaki Teru was sitting on a brown leather sofa, and in front of him appeared a phantom projection of a young man with an unruly expression, carrying a magnificent and unique long spear on his shoulder, and a mocking smile on his lips.
"It's been a long time, Azure Emperor. You've been enjoying a lot of success lately, with your information appearing on the [Dimensional Ranking] every now and then."
"I am indeed 'incredibly successful' right now, but Cao Cao, you are probably more upset than I am. This time, the Heroic Faction has been exposed for once."
Kanzaki Teru glanced at him and said.
The young man before them was Cao Cao, the leader of the Heroic Faction, the host of the [original and strongest God-Slaying Gear], and the [Twilight Holy Lance].
Of course, Kanzaki Teru began to have serious doubts about the title of "original and strongest God-Slaying Tool" after receiving the "Azure Slaughter Sword" meticulously crafted for him by Kosei.
"Recently, there have been more and more people coming to investigate the Heroic Faction."
Cao Cao was slightly annoyed by this. The inclusion of George, Leonardo, and Arthur Pendragon on the list had thoroughly exposed the existence of the Heroic Faction to the eyes of the entire world. Although he was not afraid of the gods, this was not the time to expose them, as what they had done was forbidden by the gods.
If the gods knew in advance, they would surely have done everything in their power to stop it; continuing to hide was absolutely necessary.
"Even if we continue to hide it, we can't hide it for much longer. Let's start gathering our fighting forces."
Kanzaki Teru gazed at the azure sky outside the window, believing that this scene would soon undergo a dramatic transformation.
"The formation is almost complete, enough to completely conceal its aura. Now would be a very good time to gather our forces. The appearance of the [Dimensional Ranking] has thrown all the pantheons into chaos. In addition, your previous complete annihilation of the Egyptian pantheon has made those pantheons a bit paranoid, and they are naturally not as vigilant as before."
Cao Cao said.
"I'll leave the task of gathering the fighting force to you. As for the formation, set up a three-layered spatial division and aura concealment formation based on the current one."
"...Three more layers? You know, that's already a lot. Even if the fluctuations produced by the arrays are very small, the fluctuations that tens of thousands of powerful arrays can create together are still extremely terrifying."
Cao Cao frowned at Kanzaki Hikaru's suggestion and said...
"Cao Cao, have you ever seen the Land of the Other Shore?"
Kanzaki Teru glanced meaningfully at Cao Cao and said.
These words seemed to possess some kind of magic, instantly rendering the usually arrogant Cao Cao speechless.
"The formation you set up by the Heroes faction only gives us time to break the seal."
"how come?!"
Cao Cao was clearly somewhat skeptical.
"The Other Shore Realm is not for those who have transcended. The formations you have set up may be able to perfectly hide and shield the battles between those who have transcended, but once you reach the Other Shore Realm, they are very likely to be broken with a single touch."
Upon hearing Kanzaki Teru's words, Cao Cao remained silent for a moment, then pondered, "In that case, we must remain vigilant against the attacks of the gods during the battle."
