"Balance Breaker—"
When Kaiser made this declaration toward the increasingly berserk Vali, not only Vali himself but everyone else present felt their hearts tremble.
Some people only now suddenly realized that Kaiser hadn't yet used his Balance Breaker at all.
Especially Kuroka and Asia; the worry on their faces was abruptly replaced by intense joy, as if they had recalled something.
Because they had witnessed Kaiser's Balance Breaker before.
"Finally, we're going to see it again…"
"The Balance Breaker of the True Longinus…"
Azazel and Michael immediately turned their gazes toward Kaiser.
Both of them had survived from ancient times until now. They might fall short of Sirzechs, a rising star, in terms of pure strength, but when it came to experience and knowledge, they far surpassed him.
Sirzechs was ultimately a new Satan who had taken the name Lucifer from the Old Satan Faction. He had been alive for only a few hundred years, and compared to Azazel and Michael, who had already lived for millennia, the things he had witnessed were undoubtedly fewer.
Thus, when Azazel and Michael reacted to Kaiser's words, Sirzechs had yet to respond.
However, what happened next to Kaiser was sufficient to move everyone deeply.
"Balance Breaker…"
Facing the berserk White Dragon directly, bathed in his ferocious aura, Kaiser uttered quietly.
"Humm—"
Immediately, sacred ripples appeared upon the Holy Spear, spreading outward like invisible waves, reverberating throughout heaven and earth.
Dazzling brilliance also emerged upon the spear, showing a color reminiscent of its name—a dark and dusky twilight hue.
Incomprehensible fluctuations rapidly spread, bringing forth an ancient, supreme, sacred, and deadly aura.
At this moment, the entire world trembled.
"————"
Feeling these unbelievable fluctuations and the supreme aura, everyone present widened their eyes.
Even Vali himself was no exception. Originally frenzied, he inexplicably took a step backward.
He could sense something incredibly nostalgic yet terrifying appearing before his eyes.
Under these circumstances, the Holy Spear in Kaiser's hand also began to change.
Its shaft transformed from blue to scarlet, so intensely red that it resembled droplets of blood. Yet, it did not evoke a sense of ominousness—instead, it felt even more sacred and pure.
Its spearhead appeared as though stained with blood, its originally dazzling radiance becoming utterly crimson.
An ancient, supreme, sacred, and deadly aura surged forth, accompanied by a clearly perceptible will manifesting outward.
That will was magnificent and noble, benevolent yet awe-inspiring.
"Ahh…"
Led by Michael, those who held devout faith began to tremble uncontrollably.
Even Asia, who had already seen it once, was no exception.
"My Lord…"
Michael directly shed tears, while the two Holy Sword wielders behind him became so overwhelmed, they kneeled down as though witnessing God's descent.
"How is this possible…"
Azazel's face showed obvious turmoil, utterly shocked beyond measure.
"The will of the deceased God… has actually descended upon this world once again…"
Azazel simply couldn't believe his eyes, nor could he trust his senses.
If even he was shaken like this, then the Devils led by Sirzechs naturally trembled as if criminals facing their executioner. Without exception, every one of them shook with fear.
"God…"
Even Kiba Yuuto, a Devil peerage member deeply entangled with the Church, who held both love and hatred toward God, momentarily lost himself and involuntarily spoke out loud.
"The Balance Breaker of the True Longinus…does it manifest God's will in this world?"
Regarding Kiba Yuuto's words, Azazel denied them without hesitation.
"No, that's not the Balance Breaker of the True Longinus."
Unable to conceal his shock, Azazel shouted out:
"'Holy Spear of the Pure White Night'—that is the True Longinus' real Balance Breaker. All previous wielders of the spear used that Balance Breaker."
"But the Balance Breaker appearing before us now isn't the original form of the spear."
"This is a Subspecies. It's an entirely new Balance Breaker developed independently by that person, unique to him alone—a completely new Balance Breaker for the Holy Spear."
It was this Balance Breaker that manifested the will of God.
This will directly descended upon the world, like the grandest of world regulations, the universal laws themselves, instantly reckoning all sins.
Pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, lust…all the original sins existing in the human world, along with the beings possessing those sins, faced judgment from this will, causing severe shocks to their mental worlds.
It was as though they sincerely repented for their unforgivable sins. Everyone present, including Sirzechs and Azazel, began losing their sense of self.
"Not good!"
After a short moment, Sirzechs and Azazel abruptly regained their senses and quickly awakened those around them.
Rias, Himejima Akeno, Kiba Yuuto, Toujou Koneko, and even Kuroka nearly succumbed due to their weak wills. Only Michael and Asia, the purest and most innocent individuals untouched by original sin, remained unaffected.
As for the two Holy Sword wielders behind Michael, they were somewhat influenced, proving they were not saints.
However, they did not resist this at all, instead excitedly and fanatically accepting the baptism of God's will.
"Guhh!"
As for Vali inside the battlefield, he suddenly emitted a painful scream.
He felt intense agony under the baptism of God's will. Although his firm resolve prevented him from falling into ruin, the fluctuations emitted from the scarlet spear in Kaiser's hand seemed to purify him, giving him the sensation of nearing annihilation.
Holding such a spear, Kaiser's voice echoed throughout the world.
"From the moment I obtained this spear, I was able to activate its Balance Breaker."
"But after gaining that Balance Breaker, I realized it didn't suit me."
"So, I spent some time and developed a new Balance Breaker."
Holding the spear, Kaiser slowly walked toward Vali.
"My demand for the new Balance Breaker is simple—to maximize its original purpose."
"What is the purpose of the True Longinus?"
"It's simple. Just as described in legend—to slay God, to pierce God."
Indeed, the True Longinus was sharp, but mere sharpness alone could never kill a god.
It possessed three abilities, seemingly impressive, but in reality, none of these abilities directly corresponded to the concept of "God-slaying."
Even the spear's proudest Holy attribute power was effective only against demonic beings like Devils.
How could such a thing slay a god?
How could such a thing annihilate a god?
If the first and strongest Longinus lacked the power to definitively kill gods, wouldn't it be unworthy of its name?
Given that, initially, Kaiser intended to pursue the form that he and his Sacred Gear ought to have to the point of madness, merging himself entirely with the Sacred Gear to achieve the second type of Balance Breaker—its Abyss Side.
Yet during this process, the Holy Spear underwent consecutive transformations, causing its Balance Breaker to encompass all three types.
"After activating my Balance Breaker, my spear manifests three transformations."
"The first transformation: all of its original abilities undergo enhancement."
"The second transformation: it begins to trace back to its origin, gaining absolute power to slay gods. Not only can it pierce through the bodies of gods, but its Holy Power also transforms into God-Slaying Power, disregarding any conditions and instantly killing the target."
"As for the third transformation, you have already experienced it. It externalizes the will of God residing within the spear, carrying out judgment upon sinners."
The first transformation involved strengthening its original abilities, reflecting the evolutionary Sublimation Side of Balance Breaker.
The second transformation was related to pursuing the ideal state between himself and the Sacred Gear to a point of madness, merging himself completely with it, manifesting the Abyss Side of Balance Breaker.
The third transformation could not be classified into either of the previous two. It formed a mutation known as the Irregular Side of Balance Breaker.
"Now, God's Will is judging your sins."
"Once you fail to resist, you will sink into repentance, unable to free yourselves."
"Those who can withstand this judgment are either saints untouched by original sin or people with exceptionally firm wills."
"But even if your will is strong enough to resist sinking, you'll still be affected. Being able to exert even half of your full strength would be considered excellent."
On the other hand, Kaiser, due to activating his Balance Breaker, not only fully upgraded the spear's inherent abilities but also gained the God-slaying power capable of truly killing even gods.
"This is my unique Balance Breaker, the subspecies Balance Breaker of the True Longinus—[Spear of Divine and Demonic Judgment]."
Kaiser moved to stand before Vali, looking at him as he writhed in pain, and spoke slowly.
"With your strength of will, you should have been able to resist God's Will. But since you've activated Juggernaut Drive, risking losing control at any moment, your reason is constantly on the verge of collapse, significantly weakening your resistance."
"With your power greatly diminished and your nature as a Devil, it's only natural you'd feel as though you're being purified, suffering immensely before this spear which absolutely counters both gods and devils."
"In your current state, you can't even fight against me."
Saying this, Kaiser raised the crimson God-slaying spear.
"Unfortunately, the winner is me, Vali Lucifer."
With those words, Kaiser thrust the spear forward.
"Wait..."
Azazel, who was desperately resisting the judgment of God's Will, saw this scene, and his expression changed drastically.
He hadn't missed Kaiser's words.
This was a spear capable of piercing even gods, ignoring all conditions to kill its target.
If struck by it, Vali would truly be finished this time.
"Relax."
Kaiser did not stop, piercing the spear through the armor on Vali's chest.
"I'm simply forcing him out of there."
The armor shattered instantly, causing the violent White Dragon to vanish from the battlefield.
Vali's figure fell from within, collapsing on the ground.
Thus, Kaiser easily attained victory.
Unquestionably.
