While the Gods and powerhouses were very interested in this generation's Red Dragon Emperor and White Dragon Emperor.
Asuna, as one of the concerned parties, was filled with despair.
"Huuu... why did it turn out like this?!"
Although she already knew of the White Dragon Emperor's existence from Hikaru's mouth, at least give her time to develop, like in game novels.
Now it's good, the Divine Artifact List directly revealed it, truly forcing her to a dead end. With her current small body, fighting against the White Dragon Emperor who reportedly had already reached Devil King level, was the same as seeking death.
Meanwhile, Kaguya and the others beside her didn't know what to say, could only stare at Asuna with sympathetic gazes because they couldn't help.
"Rias, the Divine Dividing wielder named 'Vali Lucifer', is he your older brother's relative?!"
Kotonoha had stopped training, sheathing her long sword and wiping sweat on her forehead, asking confusedly.
The others also remembered, wasn't Rias the biological younger sister of the Underworld's Devil King Lucifer? Did the two have a kinship relationship?!
Asuna also thought of this, her eyes radiating a glimmer of hope. If true, with Rias who could mediate, perhaps the destiny battle between White Dragon Emperor and Red Dragon Emperor that was talked about could be avoided.
She didn't want to fight with a Devil King-level powerhouse just for a destiny she didn't understand, and whose cause and effect weren't clear.
However, the answer awaiting her was surely disappointment.
"Vali Lucifer should be a descendant of First Generation Devil King Lucifer, while my brother Sirzechs's real name is Sirzechs Gremory. He became Second Generation Devil King Lucifer after defeating this First Generation Devil King's descendant in the Devil civil war..."
Rias immediately explained to Kaguya, Asuna, Kotonoha... and the others about the Underworld civil war's history.
"Oh, I see." Kuroyukihime nodded understandingly.
Previously, when the Transcendent List announced information about Rias and Sona, who were Devil Kings' younger sisters, they were still confused.
Was there a big difference between myths and legends and reality?!
Devil King Lucifer was born from pure-blooded Devil nobility, the Gremory family. After listening to Rias's explanation, they finally understood that the First Generation Underworld Devil Kings had fallen in the God-Devil war a thousand years ago. Meanwhile, Rias's older brother, Sirzechs, started a revolution, and together with a group of like-minded comrades, overthrew the Underworld's rigid ruling class, and became the new generation Underworld rulers.
Asuna wasn't interested in Underworld history. She only knew that finding a loophole from Rias to avoid the destiny battle between Red Dragon Emperor and White Dragon Emperor had no hope.
"You don't need to worry too much. Vali is only interested in challenging the strong. He doesn't care about the weak."
Yuriko who was standing beside, seemingly didn't want to continue seeing Asuna's 'embarrassing' appearance, glanced at her and said.
"Thank goodness!"
Ignoring the 'hatred' in Yuriko's eyes, Asuna instead patted her chest and felt relieved.
Not because she was cowardly and afraid of death. Actually, she knew that facing the modern White Dragon Emperor was a certain death situation. Of course, avoiding danger was living beings' instinct. Even ants struggle to live, let alone humans.
This scene made Yuriko even more contemptuous.
If not for her teacher's request, she absolutely wouldn't guide these girls' training. In her eyes, it was just wasting time.
Besides their not-so-great talents, their innate fighting desire was also very weak. Although these things could be developed later, she didn't have 'spare time' for that.
"What kind of existence is that Vali Lucifer?" Rias asked with curiosity.
Whether from information leaked by Hikaru before, or Yuriko and the others' introductions, vaguely showed that this generation's White Dragon Emperor, Vali Lucifer, was very extraordinary.
Plus his identity that was very sensitive to the Underworld, made Rias very curious.
Kaguya, Asuna, Kuroyukihime... and the others also looked toward Yuriko, Kurumi, and Ai. They were also curious about this.
After a few moments of silence, Ai began speaking.
"He is a tough man who can maintain Balance Breaker for half a month. He can even use his large magical power instead of life force to use Juggernaut Drive. From humanity's perspective, that person can fully be called One of the Strongest Human Candidates like Yuriko."
"Team Vali members under him, one by one also must not be underestimated..."
"Although his strength isn't as good as Teacher's, he's also considered a top powerhouse in the young generation. His identity as First Generation Devil King Lucifer's descendant, combined with Divine Dividing and his very high talent, calling him the Strongest White Dragon Emperor in History is absolutely no problem."
Those brief words summarized Vali's general situation.
Capable of maintaining Balance Breaker for half a month.
One of the Strongest Human Candidates.
Strongest White Dragon Emperor in History.
This shocking information one by one made Kaguya and the others, including Rias, difficult to digest.
They vaguely felt that they were slowly getting a chance to touch the corner of Hikaru's level, the circle that only belonged to true devils.
Suddenly, a voice carrying strong majesty came from the Boosted Gear on Asuna's left hand, while emitting faint red light.
"That white one, this time found a good wielder."
"Red Dragon Emperor, Ddraig!!!"
Rias was shocked, and immediately knew that the person issuing the voice was the true Red Dragon Emperor, Ddraig, one of the Two Heavenly Dragons sealed in Boosted Gear.
The others also stared at the Boosted Gear in Asuna's hand shockingly.
"Strive to become strong, partner!"
"Become strong enough to fight that white one's wielder. This is a destiny you can't avoid."
After these words were spoken, Boosted Gear returned to calm.
"Fighting with a monster like that..."
Asuna smiled bitterly and shook her head.
After hearing Ai's explanation about her archenemy Vali, what she saw was only deep despair. How could she possibly defeat a monster like that.
