*RUMBLE!*
A heaven-and-earth-shattering sound suddenly exploded in Tokyo's sky. The glass windows in high-rise buildings shattered from this sudden loud sound.
"What's happening!"
"Could it be the Dimensional List will be announced again..."
"...No, this is different from the sound when the Dimensional List appeared. Listen, there are still continuous sounds coming."
"Look up at the sky quickly..."
"...The sky is cracking!"
"..."
Countless ordinary people were first made somewhat deaf by this sound wave, then, only realized and looked at the originally blue sky. At this moment, the sky directly cracked, revealing the dark void behind space.
What was more shocking was under this cracked sky, there were two figures continuously attacking and colliding. Each collision produced an ear-splitting loud sound, followed by the space that had just been automatically repaired by the world, being destroyed again.
The entire blue sky repeatedly, revolved in a cycle of repair and destruction.
"Ara-ara, Yuriko, you're really unfeeling, I could be considered your 'sister-in-law' in a certain sense."
Tokisaki Kurumi, who had transformed into Astral Dress Angel Zaphkiel, continuously provoked the angry Yuriko using clones while trying to restrict this troublesome person with time power.
It had to be admitted, under the assistance of Ranking Gift: Level 6 Calculation (Transcendent), Yuriko's Vector Manipulation became very difficult to deal with after she broke through and rose to Devil King level. Certain defects that existed previously had been completely repaired.
Even if Kurumi herself had now reached the limit of Devil King level, to bring down Yuriko like in the past, she still needed to work harder.
"Shut up!"
Clearly, the word 'sister-in-law' greatly provoked Yuriko whose emotions were indeed unstable. Her short white hair and fierce eyes shone with red light.
Vector Manipulation directly controlled various elements and matter in space between heaven and earth, all forcibly fusing, transforming into a beam of light that seemingly could harvest any life in the world.
*BOOM!*
Wherever the attack passed, space began to shatter inch by inch, bringing destructive power unimaginable to ordinary people. It swept clean Kurumi and her clones in front, destroying them.
After one attack, Kurumi truly disappeared, but Yuriko remained vigilant.
That wicked woman, how could she possibly be annihilated by such a simple attack.
Yuriko, who had been competing with Kurumi for several years, also had a very deep understanding of Kurumi's cunning and difficulty level.
Sure enough, the next second, an alluring voice seemingly capable of awakening primitive desires, came from all directions.
"Too bad, Vector Manipulation is indeed strong, but in the face of time, it still appears very weak."
"You won't be able to defeat me..."
"Yuriko, because you're so hot-tempered, Shin won't continue to keep you by his side."
"Shin doesn't like hot-tempered girls..."
"Right..."
"..."
One, two, three... thousands of Kurumi appeared in the sky with mocking smiles, surrounding Yuriko in the middle. This scene was very strange.
"I said, shut up!"
Yuriko was very angry, Vector Manipulation was activated.
All air currents between heaven and earth concentrated in both her hands. Strong winds blew, lightning struck, and the momentum was very great. All of Tokyo trembled slightly, as if there was terrifying energy in the sky sufficient to annihilate the earth that was continuously being brewed.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
"That's Suzushina Yuriko, first place on the Transcendent List, and Tokisaki Kurumi, eighth place on the Eternal Beauty List!!!"
As Kurumi and Yuriko continued fighting, some ordinary people recognized their identities.
"That's Vector Manipulation, truly a very abnormal ability."
After all, the ranking of these two people on the Dimensional List was very high. Yuriko even occupied first place on the Transcendent List. It would be strange if she wasn't recognized.
"Is Tokisaki Kurumi that strong, she can truly match Suzushina Yuriko, first place on the Transcendent List with Vector Manipulation!"
"Are you blind, don't you see Tokisaki Kurumi is taking full advantage."
"Although Suzushina Yuriko's attacks are strong, they don't seem to cause substantial fatal damage to Tokisaki Kurumi..."
"But, Tokisaki Kurumi isn't listed on the Transcendent List, how can she be that strong..."
As soon as this statement came out, many people stared at the middle-aged white-collar man who had just spoken with looks like viewing an idiot.
"...W-What?!"
The middle-aged white-collar man felt somewhat embarrassed being stared at by so many people, but he didn't know where his mistake was.
"What? Don't tell me you really think that those listed on the Transcendent List can represent all the strong people in the world."
"Right, did you forget Great Yōkai Hagoromo Gitsune, ninth place on the Eternal Beauty List, Archangel Gabriel, fifth place on the Eternal Beauty List... The reason these existences aren't listed on the Transcendent List is clearly because they've surpassed the Transcendent List standard, reaching King level."
"Right, Tokisaki Kurumi is clearly also in the same situation."
"..."
"Suzushina Yuriko is clearly weaker than Tokisaki Kurumi, but the Transcendent List has ranking gifts. The gap between the two should already be somewhat leveled, but the distance between them still exists."
"..."
It had to be admitted, there were also smart people among ordinary people. In a brief conversation, they deduced Kurumi and Yuriko's specific situation.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Meanwhile, Rias, Kaguya, Kuroyukihime... and the others in the forest were clearly shocked by the sudden battle between Kurumi and Yuriko.
"How could Suzushina Yuriko and Tokisaki Kurumi appear in Tokyo?!"
Rias said shockingly, looking at the two people still fighting in the sky.
The shockwaves released by their battle alone were sufficient to destroy approaching high-class Devils. If not handled properly, all of Tokyo would become ashes.
Meanwhile, the others were also shocked by Yuriko and Kurumi's strength. This was the first time they saw a Devil King-level battle, which could truly be called heaven-and-earth-shattering.
"Suzushina Yuriko appeared in Tokyo, could it be because of Hikaru?"
Kuroyukihime guessed calmly.
This guess wasn't without basis, after all, Yuriko was Hikaru's disciple.
"Sensei issued a Command Summons. Yuriko came at Sensei's command."
Suddenly, Enma Ai, who had been silent until now, spoke.
"Command Summons?"
"Hikaru's command?"
"..."
Rias and the others stared at Ai with shock and confusion.
"The reason I came to Tokyo, although partly for requests, was more because of Sensei's Command Summons."
"...Command Summons?"
Rias pondered slightly, stared at Ai seriously, and said, "Who will he summon, and what does he want to do?"
"The plan cannot be revealed. All Devil King-level powerhouses under Sensei must go. Yuriko and I are included in this category..."
"As for Kurumi, that's an accident!"
Actually, Ai also didn't expect Kurumi would appear here, especially at this critical moment.
"What's being summoned are actually Devil King-level powerhouses!!!"
This time, Rias was truly shocked.
Not only her, Kaguya, Kuroyukihime, Kotonoha... and the others also fell silent in place. Although, when they heard Hikaru issued a 'Command Summons', they vaguely suspected there would be major action, but none of them expected that the minimum standard for the 'Command Summons' issued by Hikaru was actually Devil King-level powerhouses. This was somewhat too unbelievable.
"Is he really only a Devil King-level existence?"
At this moment, deep doubt arose in Rias's heart.
Only a Devil King-level existence could suppress so many wonders with the same level, like Time Spirit Kurumi. Others might not know what kind of existence she was, but she knew clearly in her heart.
Previously, she heard from her best friend and rival Sona Sitri, that Time Spirit Kurumi was a very strong Devil King-level powerhouse and absolutely not inferior to her sister, Devil King Serafall Leviathan.
Would such an existence easily submit to Hikaru, who had the same level?
Rias didn't know. But, one thing she understood, the fog shrouding this man named Kanzaki Hikaru was continuously disappearing. Perhaps in the end she would be able to see what this terrifying man was actually hiding.
At the same time, there was one more thing Rias was very concerned about.
"What exactly does he want to do summoning so many Devil King-level powerhouses?"
If we temporarily consider Hikaru as Devil King level, then Hikaru, Ai, Yuriko, Kurumi, there were already four Devil King-level powerhouses. They were all top-tier existences among Devil King-level powerhouses, not ordinary Devil King-level powerhouses. Rias believed there must be more Devil King-level powerhouses summoned by Hikaru's 'Command Summons'. She could know a little from Ai's tone.
This strong combat power gathered, to a certain extent, was sufficient to tilt the balance between various major forces in the world. Some second or third-class pantheons, they wouldn't be able to withstand even one attack from them.
A plan capable of mobilizing so many powerhouses, even if she didn't know the details, made Rias's heart somewhat terrified.
(In any case, this matter must be reported to the Underworld.)
Rias made a decision in her heart.
Meanwhile, Ai only glanced at Rias and paid her no more attention.
Command Summons from the Hero Faction.
Command Summons from Vali's Team.
Magicians...
These command summons were issued at the same time. It's just that, compared to other Command Summons, Hikaru's Command Summons was more to attract attention, exposing a small part, better than the Gods discovering the truth by following clues.
As long as they didn't move on the surface.
Even if the Gods suspected something, there was no breakthrough. When all other Command Summons were complete, everything would be too late.
