On the way to the control tower, the Sword Demon revealed to Mark and Garfiel that one of the enemies would be his dead wife Teresa van Astrea, who had been resurrected by some undead magic, and asked them not to interfere with his fight. Garfiel, out of respect for Wilhelm, agreed immediately, understanding his situation. Mark, on the other hand, told him that if things got too far with the old man's fight, he would interfere.
Dissatisfied and feeling humiliated, Garfiel kept writhing on Mark's back during the flight, while Wilhelm was calmly held as if for a wedding.
"Stop squirming, kiddo," Mark said, feeling the boy's impatient attitude getting to him.
"Go to hell! The Sword Demon and I can get there ourselves. The fact that you're taking us like this is humiliating to my magnificent self!"
"It's much faster that way." Mark explained, carefully watching where he was going. "Besides, on the same route here, you'd get tired and be less useful in a fight."
"What did you say?!" Garfiel was outraged, hitting the young Viltrumite in the back of the head, of course he didn't feel anything, unlike the Blondie who felt that his skin was harder than stone.
"Mr. Greyson..."
At Wilhelm's words, they stopped in midair. They were watching the entrance to the tower from above. Two people stood in front of it: one enormous, the other petite, and... a third person.
"Ha ha ha! You came earlier than I thought!" A young girl with a lecherous smile exclaimed as she exited the tower. "Oh my, a flying pile of meat. I admit I don't see something like that every day." Capella looked up at the sky at Mark holding Wilhelm and Garfiel.
"This must be the Archbishop of Lust," William said seriously.
"That this brat is the monster you were talking about?!" Mark asked with surprise in his voice, looking at the apparent girl.
"Oh my, you don't like me? It's not nice to underestimate someone because of their looks! Don't you all agree with me?"
No one answered her. Wilhelm and Garfiel jumped off Mark, landing smoothly on the ground. They began fighting shortly after.
Invincible levitated lightly above the ground, looking at Cappella for a moment.
"Okay kid, just let it go and I won't hurt you."
"Make me." Capella suddenly took the form of a large, black dragon.
Mark, seeing this and hearing her response, smiled evilly.
"You have no idea how much I wanted you to say that."
The fight began. Capella quickly attacked with her tail, which Mark easily caught. He threw her high in the air, taking the fight to the skies. He didn't let her recover from the throw up, the young Viltrumita hit her snout, decentering her for a moment. He grabbed her by the thick glass and pushed her higher and higher, until the Archbishop lost patience and pushed Mark away with his claws, after which she shot a series of fireballs from her dragon's mouth. Mark, approaching her, avoided the fire by doing a barrel roll.
When he was close enough he linked arms and hit Capella in the forehead causing her to fall down quite quickly.
Its fall was loud, destroying a random house.
"Have you had enough?" The Invincible asked Capelle, who began to transform back into her human form.
With irritation and anger on his face, the Archbishop quickly transformed his hand into a lion-like snout and extended it, wanting to attack Mark.
The Invincible responded by grabbing the lion's head that was about to devour him with both hands and crushing him. Black blood poured from the lion's hand, causing him to feel as if his skin was burning, but he didn't even groan, which surprised the Archbishop.
"How is that possible?" She howled in disbelief. "How come my dragon blood doesn't work on you, you freak?!
"Hey, that wasn't nice." Mark complained, trying not to smile at Capella's frustration as her arm regenerated.
Capella whistled with her fingers in frustration.
Silence. For a long moment, nothing happened..
Bored, Mark wanted to fly up to her and catch her, but when he was about to touch her, he was suddenly hit in the face by something large. The force of the impact threw him back several meters. When he looked at the place where he had been a moment ago, he saw a blue, muscular giant with eight huge arms.
"What the hell?" the young man muttered, staring at the octopus.
However, he didn't have time to look at him any longer because a small figure of a woman with red hair flashed before his eyes and swung her sword at him. The Invincible, despite his speed, wouldn't be able to avoid the cut, so instead he grabbed the woman by the wrist and with a quick spin threw her at the blue giant.
"Mr. Greyson!" Suddenly the figure of Wilhelm and Garfiel appeared behind him running towards him.
"What happened? Why are that giant and the woman here?"
"We were fighting them until they suddenly fled here." The sword demon explained.
"Shit, we don't have time for this." Mark cursed as he saw the Archbishop transform back into a dragon and fly into the air, trying to escape.
The Invincible shot like a rocket towards two of Capella's bodyguards. He hit the blue giant in the jaw, breaking it, and many teeth fell out to the ground along with a fountain of blood. Mark did not let the giant catch his breath, grabbed him by the face and drove him into the ground so hard that he unconsciously fell into the shelter with people.
"Oh no." The young hero, worried about the innocent civilians below, wanted to quickly jump into the shelter to pull the enemy away from the people, but he was distracted by the red-haired woman who wanted to cut him down again.
Having no time to hold back when people were in danger Mark grabbed Teresa by the throat, quickly ripped the sword from her hand and threw it towards Wilhelm, who couldn't believe how quickly the young man had dealt with his wife, the previous sword saint and Kurgan hero of the Vollachia empire. The sword demon looked at his fallen wife and then looked at Mark questioningly.
"Do whatever you must to make sure your wife finds peace." The Invincible said as he followed Kurgan into the shelter.
There, a blue giant with a broken jaw lunged at him, grabbed him by the leg, and pulled him to the ground with a loud bang that terrified everyone in the shelter.
Kurgan began to hit Mark one by one with his eight powerful fists. His blows were so powerful that they began to drive Mark into the ground. Finally, the Hero managed to push the giant away at the right moment. The invincible began to fly around, avoiding Kurgan's fists.
Even though Mark managed to avoid the attacks and land a few good blows to the giant's ribs, Kurgan didn't get bored and kept trying to hit him. However, the Invincible had to get him out of this place as quickly as possible so he wouldn't hurt anyone, so he hit the giant so hard that he threw him into the air at least 20 meters. Mark was about to catch him to finally defeat him, but suddenly Kurgan, who was still flying into the air, flew through the portal that appeared a moment ago.
"Angstrom!" Mark wanted to fly into the portal as fast as he could, but it closed before he could do so. "Damn it!"
Dejected and angry, Mark returned to Wilhelm and Garfiel, who looked devastated.
"What happened?" The young man asked seeing the sword demon crying on his knees.
"Teresa is gone!" the old man howled, pounding the ground with his fist. "Suddenly a green portal appeared and she was gone!
Mark, knowing how much William cared for his wife, clenched his fists in anger.
"What are you up to, Angstrom. I couldn't even catch Capella."

"What a disgusting pile of flesh." Capella said seeing a dead body in the middle of the desert where there was only sand and a few rocks. "Where am I anyway?"
"A tragedy. Calm down Capello this is not your world." Suddenly from the green portal came a black man in a suit with an enlarged head and back that now looked like a giant brain. Teresa van Astrea and Kurgan also flew out of his portal. "In this world there has never been anyone like the sword saint which resulted in the witch of jealousy turning this entire world into ruins. Oh sorry I forgot to introduce myself my name is Angstrom Levy."
"What do you want from me, you disgusting piece of meat?"
"I need help with a special problem." The man said, pointing to his head. "I heard you have the ability to change your shape and the shape of other people. I'd like you to make me look normal."
"Why would I do that?"
"Because I can leave you to die," he explained, smiling cheekily. "But you didn't come this way. If you help me, you'll have me as your assistant... I want to conquer the multiverse."
Capella's eyes lit up greedily.
"Alright Angstrom Levy I'll help you." She walked up to him and placed her hand on his head and slowly Angstrom's head started to return to normal.
"Ah, that's better. Thank you. Well, come with me then. This land is too dangerous to stay in for too long." Angstrom opened a portal and he, Capella, and her servants stepped through.

"So..." Regulus Corneas threw a silver box at Subaru and Reinhard's feet. "I suppose you've come to save wife number 79. You're lucky, because of her insolent behavior and violation of my rights, I decided to reject her candidacy as my wife."
"Wow, you really call wives by their numbers." Subaru was surprised, looking at the Archbishop with wide eyes.
"Anyway," Regulus continued, making a face of displeasure at being interrupted while he was speaking. He turned to Emilia and held out his hand to her. "I have no reason to hold her anymore, so I'll kill her."
"Don't you dare raise a hand on her, you bastard!" The black-haired man screamed.
"Because what will you do to me? Or rather, what could you offer me in exchange for freeing this woman?"
"I understand." Reinhard stated suddenly. "Let Mrs. Emilie go free and I'll do whatever you want."
Subaru was speechless.
"Then come here, holy sword, and open that box on the floor. If you do, I will free that woman. And you are to do so without a weapon."
Reinhard gave Subaru the sheath containing the dragon sword.
"This is a trap Reinhard." Subaru said, worried for his friend. "He could have hidden explosive crystals there."
"Don't worry Subaru, I can handle it" The knight reassured him and then walked over to the box.
He slowly opened it. Subaru tried to look over Reinhard's shoulder to see what was inside.
Suddenly, instead of explosive stones, something small and slimy jumped onto the red-haired knight's head. Reinhard tried to get it off of himself, but suddenly his whole body stopped as if someone had pressed a stop button.
"Reinhard!" Subaru worriedly tried to approach him, but before he could, the knight turned to face him.
The black-haired man was terrified. On Reinhard's head sat something that resembled a pink squid with three tentacles and a head resembling a brain. The knight's eyes stopped being blue, changing to black, and his smile was wide and crazy.
"What did you do to him?!" Subaru screamed at Regulus.
"This is your first mission, Sword Saint." Regulus ignored Subaru and gave his puppet an order. "Go and kill Mark Greyson."
"What?" Subaru gasped in surprise.
The next moment, Reinhard bowed low to the Archbishop of Greed and then jumped out through the church roof, making a large hole in it.
"You're still here?" Regulus was irritated, looking at Subaru. "Take the half-elf and get out. I have to pack and get ready to become king of the world."
The black-haired man furiously bit his lip.
"It's not over yet Regulus. Emilia we have to go."
"But..." Worried, Emilia looked at Regulus' other wives who still had stone, expressionless faces.
"We don't have time come on. Please you have to trust me."
"Okay..." Emilia looked at the Archbishop's blonde wife for the last time, promising herself that she would save them all, and then she ran out of the church together with Subaru, who was holding a dragon sword in his hands.
Regulus clapped his hands.
"Well, my beautiful wives, it's time to leave this stupid city and together with my new weapon, when he returns, we'll go to Kararagi."
Running through the streets of Priestella Subaru and Emilia ran towards the control tower where Mark and Wilhelm and Garfiel went to fight Capella.
"Subaru, who exactly is this Mark Greyson that the Archbishop spoke of?" Emilia asked, feeling like she had missed some important event.
"Long story Emilia. In short Mark is our ally who helps us fight the cult." He explained running faster and faster because he was very worried about Mark who reminded him of a fancy superhero.
"Why is Mark being targeted by Regulus? Did he do something to him?" Emilia continued to ask.
"I don't know Emilia-tan, but if Regulus really took control of Reinhard and went to fight Mark, I wouldn't envy him. Mark doesn't know how strong the holy sword is, so to prove himself, fight Reinhard and survive, Mark would have to be really..."
"INVINCIBLE"
