In Type-Moon, people create a magic family lineage

The methods of the 'Heavenly Demon' are never 'gentle'—could it be that those people have all been 'converted'?

Then.

"Are you planning to keep talking to me in this position forever?"

Although he was enjoying himself, he remained calm; although he was going with the flow, his will was still clear. Looking at Kichijou Inori approaching him, Lu Kang simply said:

"If you dare not tempt me further—then step back."

In this limbo, neither here nor there, what's going on?

Even he was speechless.

"Further temptation... I fear I will fall into an endless abyss?"

"after all--"

"I can sense that Your Excellency has become even stronger!"

Kichijouin Kihara, dressed in a flight attendant uniform, stepped back and spoke. Her full breasts, tightly wrapped in the uniform, bounced slightly. Her legs, wrapped in black stockings, supported her incredibly full figure, which was revealed even though the fabric clung to her completely. Although she had a smile on her face, her eyes were full of amazement and 'awe' when she looked at Lu Kang.

Yes.

Although it's only been a few days since we last met.

It was only a brief farewell of a few days.

But Kichijouin Kihara could indeed sense that the young man before him was becoming increasingly unfathomable—as if he had experienced another lifetime of glory.

So even though she felt a surge of desire upon seeing Lu Kang, she didn't dare to take it any further.

So while she longed for 'salvation', she was even more afraid of being reversed—having her 'mind' affected.

Lu Kang scoffed.

"Coward."

"..."

Qi Huang smiled, his eyebrows twitching.

This is really...

"No one but you has ever dared to speak to me like that..."

"Then aren't you? If not, come on up here." Lu Kang frowned.

Kichijou-in Kihara remained silent.

Looking at this woman who could absolutely be called a 'femme fatale,' Lu Kang couldn't help but grin with great satisfaction.

No matter how much you experience the manifestation of your soul in the body during the simulation, no matter how much you go with the flow and have free control, being stuck in a rut will still make you feel uncomfortable.

No matter how strong the capabilities or how high the standards.

Lu Kang ultimately retained a strong sense of humanity.

He was just an ordinary person.

"Alright, sit down." He pointed to the chair opposite him: "Now that you've dealt with the other six families, what's the current situation in Kyoto?"

"Let me give you a general overview, Lord 'Heavenly Demon'."

There is no all-seeing eye in the 'present world'.

Many things also require relying on 'power' to find out.

Qi Huang sat down using the 'ladder' Lu Kang had given her, her long legs in black stockings pressed together, her uniform skirt taut over her full hips, the tightness making the black mesh pattern even deeper.

"This is precisely the matter I wish to report to Your Excellency."

Her smile remained unchanged: "In Kyoto—it is suspected that there are 'Ancestor' level Dead Apostles active there."

"And it's very likely that there isn't just one."

"But multiple!"

Multiple...'ancestors'?

"Looks like those guys really did come along after all!"

Lu Kang pondered for a moment, not surprised, and simply said, "Really, they never learn their lesson—"

"That group of 'ancestors' of the God-Era Alliance!"

Chapter 233 The Thousand-Year Promise, the Black Princess Eltrauge

Although Qi Huang said it was 'suspected' and did not directly confirm it, Lu Kang was able to give the information with great certainty—he could even tell the origin of that group of 'ancestors'.

Regarding this, the 'Heavenly Demon' of the Burial Agency did not doubt the truthfulness of Lu Kang's words. Given the other party's multiple layers of ancient identity, he would not make up a name on the spot. More importantly, he had also heard of the existence called the God Age Alliance among the ancestors of the Dead Apostles.

"The alliance that Solomon Melion once mentioned among the Ancestors of the Dead Apostles, who existed for over two thousand years and were even present in the mythical era, was formed in a very early time?"

This is still the information revealed by the progenitor of the Dead Apostles who joined the Burial Agency!

As Kichijou Inohara murmured to herself, she looked at the confident and certain young man opposite her and couldn't help but chuckle: "It seems that the Sect Leader is quite familiar with those guys."

"How could I not be familiar with it?"

The train was still moving through the wilderness at that moment.

At this moment, through the window of the train, which was lurching along the tracks, one could see the scenery of the wilderness receding into the distance, and sunlight filtering through the gaps in the shadows of the rolling trees into the carriage, slanting down on the handsome face of the young man.

In a daze, Kichijou-in Kihara even thought he had returned to the foot of Mount Fuji a thousand years ago, and heard the world-famous 'Peacock Prince' speaking eloquently.

Lu Kang said, "I know them very well!"

Communication with the 'Death Ancestor'.

When he was Vic Tuval, he had fought several times against the progenitor of the Dead Apostles—especially the Whitewing Lord, whose physical form had now collapsed and who was temporarily unable to be active.

During Sugawara no Hajime's time, such incidents occurred even more frequently—and on a larger scale, they were even more intense!

This also seems to be because Lu Kang always walks on the side of human reason.

This is why it always attracts the disturbance of the dead, whose very existence is a denial of human reason.

He couldn't possibly be unaware of that group of guys.

Yes.

Despite the fact that Sugawara no Hajime was only active in the Far East, while the founders of the Dead Apostles were mostly active in Europe, separated by a Celestial Empire and a vast Asian continent, Lu Kang still ran into those guys.

Moreover, it wasn't like Viktvar, who ran into a single active ancestor, or the powerful and ambitious Whitewing Lord—but rather, an entire organization of Dead Apostle Ancestors called the God Age Alliance!

The White Winged Duke, who had been eliminated by Lu Kang in this era, also belonged to this group.

Just as Kichijou-in Kihara said, it was also a Death Ancestor Alliance composed of the oldest ancestors spanning more than two thousand years.

It is an ancient and mysterious gathering place with an average of over two thousand years of existence, resembling a divine return.

It is itself a mysterious ancient phenomenon from the age of gods.

The mystery surrounding their two-thousand-year history—that alone is enough to allow them to touch the 'divine realm'!

It is even said that the God Alliance contains 'ancestors' who have existed for over four thousand years and are truly the oldest ancestors.

However, Lu Kang has not yet been encountered.

Of all the information he knew, this was the only united organization of the ancestors of the Dead Apostles, which had previously been led by the 'White Wing Lord,' who held the most power among the Dead Apostles.

On the surface, there are only four 'ancestors' of the God Alliance, below the White Wing Duke.

There is an ancestor who is said to control the largest flow of funds on the human side, a mysterious and unpredictable being known as the 'Financial Demon King', who also existed in the most ancient times.

There is a divine magician who transforms into a bird of death, and the 'Black Wing Duke' who is the counterpart to the White Wing Duke.

There is also a mysterious owner who operates a train that sells magic eyes.

Furthermore, there is the progenitor of the 'Beast' who possesses some of the powers of the 666 Beast, which brings about the end times in church mythology.

Among them, the Financial Demon King and the Ancestor of Beasts are the most steadfast Whitewing factions.

Blackwing and the train owner remained relatively neutral, neither supporting nor opposing the train.

Furthermore, under the leadership of the Whitewing Lord, they have been actively plotting to revive the legendary Dead Apostle True Kings, the 'Dark Six Kings'. In addition, they are even more eager to eliminate those immortal ancient rulers who remain in the world and the True Ancestors who constantly create new Dead Apostles as 'backup food' before the ancient times.

This was the case even before the Millennium Castle incident, which resulted in the slaughter of the True Ancestors due to Hakuhime's loss of control.

After the millennium city, the True Ancestors were almost all dead, and their actions became even more proactive.

"In a way, it is because of their influence that I came to keep this 'millennial appointment' in Kyoto."

Lu Kang then spoke again, making no secret of one of his purposes for going to Kyoto.

This was not the first time that Kichijoin Kihara had heard of this 'millennial promise'.

Although she still doesn't really understand...

"Just who is this person who could make such a long-term promise to the Sect Leader?" Qi Huang's full red lips exhaled lightly, "Even I, this humble servant, am a little envious and jealous..."

Lu Kang looked at the 'beauty' in front of him: "Anyway, it's not you, you coward."

Can't we just not talk about this...? Even the 'Heavenly Demon' is starting to feel helpless right now.

"But it won't hurt to tell you."

Lu Kang leaned back in his seat and, almost simultaneously with the crisp announcement that the train was about to arrive at its destination, slowly uttered a name.

A name mixed in with the sudden noise of the train slowing down.

Kichijouin Kihara's pupils contracted slightly, surprised but then realizing—if it was this person, then the name made sense.

It is...

A unique existence among the progenitors of the Dead Apostles.

The first daughter of Brunstadt, the first and original progenitor of all the Dead Apostles, personally recognized by Brunstadt, the Crimson Moon, and given her own surname.

She was the assassin who buried the True Ancestors, the sister of the White Princess who was deceived by Roya.

Among the ancestors of the Dead Apostles, he was the only one who could rival the White Wing Duke in terms of prestige and influence.

Although it is not a member of the Gods Alliance, it has several nobles under its command who are loyal to the ancestors of the Dead Apostles.

A hybrid of the True Ancestor and the Dead Apostle.

It is also one of the two remaining targets of the Gods Alliance after the Millennium City Incident, who wanted to eliminate the 'True Ancestor'.

A hybrid of the True Ancestor and the Dead Apostle.

—The Black Princess.

"Eltrauge Brunstadt".

...

Spring of 1071 AD.

late at night.

At the foot of Mount Fuji.

Despite being over a hundred years old, Sugawara no Hajime still looked like a young man as he walked unsteadily, following the scent of the dead that had never appeared in the mountains before, his hunting robes fluttering as he leisurely strolled along.

Light filtered through the intertwined branches, instantly illuminating the scarlet liquid floating in the stream ahead—it was definitely not the blood of a wild animal.

A girl dressed in a twelve-layered kimono knelt in the middle of the stream, her black hair cascading down to the water like a waterfall.

Crimson hues dripped from the girl's body, and the babbling stream soaked into her form, washing the heavy silk robe until it clung to her exquisite figure, subtly revealing the contours of her silhouette.

The water flowed down her waist, forming tiny eddies, and the line of her buttocks, tightly wrapped in fabric, was faintly visible in the ripples.

That face, soaked by the water, became unusually pale yet delicate, and its ruddy eyes, in that instant, projected a ferocity like that of a wild beast.

This scene amazed Lu Kang, who was then operating under the identity of Sugawara no Hajime.

This time.

The leaves rustled in the night.

When the girl swayed to her feet, blood was still dripping from the hem of her clothes.

She turned to look at Sugawara Hajime's tall, slender figure standing there.

His right eye gleamed with iridescent light: "Have you seen enough, Mr. Spy?"
