It wasn't that he was overly arrogant, but rather that the Holy Grail of the Underworld was truly nothing in his eyes.
Kanzaki Teru pondered for a few moments and decided that he should still intervene in this matter.
"I cannot leave Tokyo during this time. Go to the vampire territory for me and bring back the Holy Grail of the Underworld along with its host."
"That's no problem."
Kurumi Tokisaki smiled sweetly.
If it were a God-Slaying Gear user like Cao Cao or Vali, she might find it a little troublesome. However, the previous holders of the Holy Grail of the Underworld were not known for their combat prowess. Moreover, the Holy Grail of the Underworld is more like a support-type God-Slaying Gear, and it cannot bring any enhancement to the host's strength.
Just looking at Valerie, the current holder of the Holy Grail of the Underworld, who didn't even make it onto the Transcendental Ranking, is enough to show the depth of her strength.
Now, including Kanzaki Teru, almost everyone regards them as beings that can be plundered at will. The vampire race is an existence that can be completely ignored in the eyes of gods and powerful beings. After all, they don't even have a powerful being at the peak of the Demon King level, so they have no say in front of the gods.
"Then wait for my good news, Qing. As payment for the transaction, you owe me a request."
Having said that, Tokisaki Kurumi disappeared from the spot without giving Kanzaki Hikaru a chance to refute her.
"That guy!"
Kanzaki Teru simply chuckled and shook his head, then looked up at the [Divine Artifact Ranking] in the sky, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.
"Next, someone might start to get restless!"
The information appearing on the [Divine Artifact Ranking] made Kanzaki Teru's smile even brighter.
……
[Ranked 28th: The Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets]
[Master: Asuna Yuki]
[Owner's Race: Human]
[Description: This is a God-Slaying Tool that seals the Crimson Dragon Emperor, E. Drag Goh. Its function is to double the power of its owner every 10 seconds in the human world. Although it is only temporary, it can grant power exceeding that of Demon Kings and gods, and if raised to its limit, it can even slay gods. By wielding [Dragon Tyrant], one can obtain power surpassing the ultimate realm of divine artifacts, [Forbidden Hand]...]
[Ranking Reward: Ultimate Flame Unleashed]
……
[Additional Introduction: Forbidden Hands of Divine Artifacts—The ultimate realm of divine artifacts is the Forbidden Hand, which is when the thoughts and desires of the artifact's wielder can drastically reverse the "flow" of this world. Each divine artifact possesses its own Forbidden Hand, but not every wielder can achieve it…]
……
[Additional Introduction: Tyrant Dragon - The divine artifacts that sealed the demons were each imbued with their own unique seals. Normally, their power is extracted for the host to use while in this state. The seals can be forcibly and temporarily released, unleashing the sealed power, which is the [Tyrant Dragon]. For a short time, one can gain power comparable to that of a god, but the risks are enormous. Using it will drastically reduce one's lifespan and cause one to lose their rationality...]
……
"Yuuki Asuna, the one ranked sixtieth on the [Beauty Ranking]..."
"The eldest daughter of the Yuuki family!"
"..."
"That's right, I even saw Miss Yuuki at a banquet back then!"
"Yuki-kun, I never expected you to be a user of the God-Slaying Gear. You're quite famous in the academy..."
"Yes, quite a few upperclassmen and underclassmen, both from within and outside the school, are pursuing her..."
"...Finally, we've found a wielder of this divine artifact that we can contact..."
"..."
The inclusion of the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets and Asuna Yuuki on the list has sparked excitement and discussion among countless people.
After all, this is different from the previous owners of divine artifacts and divine destruction tools. Those people were either descendants of legendary heroes or belonged to a level that ordinary people like them could not even come into contact with. Even Isayama Yomi, who is ranked 100th on the [Divine Artifact Ranking], would not have been known to ordinary people if her name had not been revealed on the [Dimensional Ranking].
On the contrary, the existence of Asuna Yuuki feels quite realistic.
Especially some of Yuuki Asuna's classmates at the academy, they really didn't expect that Yuuki Asuna would be the holder of the God Destroyer Gear. Originally, there was a huge gap between them because of their families, but now they have directly risen to different dimensions.
They and Asuna Yuuki were now completely separated into two different worlds.
Meanwhile, Yuuki Shozo, Yuuki Asuna's father, was extremely excited at this moment.
His own daughter is the holder of the God-Destroying Gear—
In this way, as long as Asuna Yuuki grows up, the Yuuki family, like the Shinomiya family, will be able to rest easy in Japan and even the world.
"However, we must find a safe haven for Asuna before that."
The principle that "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime" is something that Yuki Shozo could not possibly misunderstand. Thinking about this, he couldn't help but pace back and forth in office 5.1.
"The Yin-Yang Hall, the Yin-Yang Academy... are not enough to protect Asuna."
Shozo Yuuki clearly scoffed at these supernatural forces. As a major conglomerate in Japan, he had heard a lot about the power struggles and shady dealings within these supernatural forces. Asking them to protect his daughter would be like pushing her into a fire pit.
"As expected, we still need him!"
The first person Yuuki Shozo thought of was that mysterious boy—Kanzaki Teru, the son-in-law of the Shinomiya family.
"It seems we need to get Asuna to take the initiative."
Shozo Yuuki made up his mind that after the [Divine Weapon Ranking] was announced, he would personally call Asuna Yuuki and give her another pep talk.

Chapter 77: The Descendant of the First Demon King
The repercussions of the "Red Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets" and Yuuki Asuna's appearance on the "Divine Weapon Ranking" are still ongoing.
For ordinary humans—
Asuna Yuuki, the wielder of the God-Slaying Gear, is someone familiar and real.
But for the gods and the powerful—
Asuna Yuuki is a very rare female Red Dragon Emperor. After all, the vast majority of Red Dragon Emperors are male, and women like Asuna Yuuki are extremely rare.
"The Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets have appeared, so next up is the White Dragon Emperor's Wings of Light."
A deity murmured to himself.
"I wonder who this generation's White Dragon Emperor is?"
The Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets and the White Dragon Emperor's Wings of Light are considered equal divine destruction tools by the gods. Even if there are some subtle differences, they are almost negligible.
As expected, the dragon hand that looked identical to the [Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets] appeared on the [Artifact Ranking], except that one was crimson and the other was white jade. Soon after, information about the [White Dragon Emperor's Wings of Light] also surfaced.
And it was this very information that caused the underworld to shatter, and then—
……
[Ranked 27th: White Dragon Emperor's Wings]
[Master: Vali Lucifer]
[Master's Race: Hybrid Demon]
[Description: This is a divine artifact that seals the White Dragon Emperor, Albion Gwiber. Its function is to halve the opponent's power every ten seconds in the human realm, and then add the opponent's power to the user. However, it cannot restore stamina; it only increases power. Due to the limitations of the user's physical body, it cannot absorb power indefinitely, otherwise the body would not be able to withstand it. It can obtain power surpassing the ultimate realm of divine artifacts, the Forbidden Hand, by using [Dragon Tyrant]...]
[Ranking Reward: Unleashed Boundless Poison]
……
[Additional Introduction: The Battle of Arch-enemies—In the past, when the forces of gods, demons, and fallen angels were locked in a full-scale war, the Crimson Dragon Emperor and the White Dragon Emperor fought each other on the battlefield. Ultimately, the two dragons were defeated by the combined forces of the three sides. The Crimson Dragon Emperor was sealed by the gods within the divine artifact [Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlet], and the White Dragon Emperor was sealed within the divine artifact [White Dragon Emperor's Wings of Light]. However, even though the two dragons were sealed within these divine artifacts, their struggle continued. Therefore, each generation of the [Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlet] wielder engages in an arch-enemy battle with the wielder of the [White Dragon Emperor's Wings of Light]...]
……
The Underworld, the New Demon King's Castle—
"A descendant of Lucifer, the first Demon King, a hybrid of human and demon, could it be that we were fooled..."
Sazex frowned as he looked at the information on the [Artifact Ranking].
It's unbelievable that a descendant with the bloodline of the first Demon King Lucifer would become the current White Dragon Emperor. What a coincidence!
"His name wasn't on the [Transcendent Ranking] last time, so it seems that Vali Lucifer's power has reached the level of a Demon Lord. Coupled with the [White Dragon Emperor's Wings], if he's a member of the old Demon Lord's faction, he's undoubtedly a huge problem..."
"Ajax pondered beside me."
As a descendant of Lucifer, the first Demon King, she is naturally not like Asuna Yuuki, who was just an ordinary person who was lucky enough to be possessed by the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlet. Therefore, it can be deduced that the reason she did not make it onto the Transcendent Ranking is that her own strength has exceeded the upper limit of the Transcendent Ranking.
“Ajeka, if those old fogies in the Underworld dare to make any rash moves, then suppress them properly. The Underworld, which has only been stable for a hundred years, absolutely cannot be allowed to descend into chaos again.”
Sazex said with iron will and decisiveness.
Ajeka nodded, a magic array rose from beneath his feet, and he disappeared from the spot. He still needed to step in to subdue those old fogies.
"Alas, Lucifer..."
Sazex sighed.
Lucifer
These three words remain a symbol of faith for most demons in the underworld, even though he won the demon civil war and earned the title of the second Demon King, Lucifer.
However, in the end, it was just a title. His reputation was nothing compared to that of the first Demon King, Lucifer.
Even though he had been suppressing the reputation of the first Demon King in the Underworld all these years, in order to prevent the old Demon King's faction from making a comeback and dragging the Underworld back into the vortex of war and civil war, the effect of doing so was minimal.
It can only be said that the reputation of the first Demon King, especially Lucifer, the leader of the Demon Kings, is deeply rooted in the hearts of every demon. To eradicate his reputation and establish the reputation of the second generation of the Underworld Demon King, it would take not just a few hundred years, but thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
"I just hope that the underworld can weather the great changes to come."
Sazex gazed at the [Artifact Ranking] above the 647-sky firmament, his expression extremely complex.
at the same time--
Just as Sazex had imagined, some pure-blooded demon nobles in the underworld began to stir with desire after seeing the name 'Lucifer' appear on the [Artifact Ranking].
In the eyes of some stubborn and outdated old-fashioned people, the four members of Sazex were traitors who usurped power in the Underworld.
Vampires believe in the supremacy of bloodlines, and so do pure-blooded demons—
The Demon King's throne can only be sat upon by those who possess the bloodline of the Demon King; Sazex and the others are not qualified.
……
"The underworld is probably going to be in chaos for a while!"
"A descendant of the first Lucifer has appeared, and he's even the new White Dragon Emperor! This is getting interesting!"
"I wonder how the battle between the Crimson Dragon Emperor and the White Dragon Emperor will end this time. After all, one side is an ordinary person, and the other side is a descendant of the first Demon King Lucifer..."
