When Roy reappeared, he was back with the girls.

"Roy, how did it go? Did you eliminate the Heretic God?" Rias asked curiously.

"Of course. It was a piece of cake. Look—" Roy said with a grin, then released Susano'o and the Black Priest from his magic.

He had left the Princess with Glass Eyes in the subspace. He would deal with her later.

"Ena, you betrayed your grandfather?" Susano'o said coldly, glaring at Ena.

Ena flinched and hid behind Roy.

"You're not my grandfather!" she retorted weakly.

"Since you claim to be Ena's grandfather, you wouldn't mind giving her your—Authority, would you?" Roy asked with a smile.

Susano'o's expression darkened.

"We have no quarrel with you, Campione. We only wanted to discuss some matters with you. There's no need for bloodshed," he said.

"Still trying to play that game?" Roy scoffed.

"Ena, kill him." Roy handed her the divine sword.

"What? Me?" Ena was confused. Did Roy want her to become a Campione?

"Go ahead. It's fine. Even if you become a—Campione, you'll still be my adorable servant," Roy reassured her with a smile, patting her head.

"Okay!" Ena nodded, taking the sword without hesitation.

Although Susano'o was her grandfather in name, he had abandoned her to Voban, leaving her to fend for herself.

Ena had seen through his lies.

Despite her young age, she knew who truly cared for her.

Roy had trusted her and given her the chance to become a Campione. She wouldn't let him down.

Without hesitation, Ena plunged the divine sword into Susano'o's heart.

The god, restrained by Roy's magic, couldn't resist and was killed instantly.

"I'm finally free from his control!" Ena exclaimed, taking a step back and staring at Susano'o's lifeless body in disbelief.

"Yes, no one can force you to do anything you don't want to do anymore," Roy said, approaching her with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ena's eyes filled with tears of gratitude.

"Now, go and prepare for the Campione transformation ritual," Roy said, patting her head gently.

Pandora then led Ena away.

Roy turned to the other girls. "Who wants to be the next Campione?" he asked.

There was still the Black Priest, but Roy didn't know his Authority.

It probably wasn't very powerful.

But even a weak Heretic God could turn someone into a Campione.

The girls looked at each other. Yuriko Takagi—was the first to step forward.

"I'll do it," she declared.

"Alright." Roy nodded with a smile.

He handed her the divine sword, and Yuriko effortlessly killed the Black Priest.

She then went to find Pandora for the transformation ritual.

'Pandora seems quite busy these days,' Roy thought. 'There's even a queue for the Campione transformation now.'

He shook his head, dismissing the thought.

His next objective was to free the Monkey King and send him back to his rightful place in mythology.

The Monkey King was being held captive in the—Western Palace, bound by a—Seal and the combined power of several shrines across Japan.

This seal was created with the combined wisdom of ancient mages.

There were three conditions for breaking it:

The manifestation of a Dragon-Snake hybrid god.

A sword capable of weakening the seal.

A pure maiden with the power to dispel curses, wielding the sword and channeling her spiritual energy.

But this method was troublesome.

Roy took the girls to the Western Palace, intending to break the seal with brute force.

"Your Majesty—are you sure about this?" Ena, who had become a Campione, asked hesitantly.

They could gather some shrine maidens and fulfill the conditions to unseal the Monkey King.

The first condition was easily met. They had several Dragons here.

And the second condition was also simple. The divine sword she had used to kill Susano'o fit the description.

"There's no need to waste time," Roy replied with a shrug.

He looked at the seal on the Western Palace and activated the Authority of magic he had inherited from Odin.

With this—Authority, he could use any magic and even create new ones.

He raised his hand towards the Western Palace and unleashed a—Powerful Magic Blast.

BOOM!!!

The entire Western Palace was reduced to rubble, the impact resembling a nuclear explosion.

A mushroom cloud rose into the sky.

Everyone inside the Western Palace, including the members of the History Compilation Committee, was killed.

The entire island shook violently, as if a magnitude 10 earthquake had struck.

Buildings collapsed, and people fled in terror.

A third of Japan was destroyed by that single attack.

But Roy didn't care.

The Western Palace was gone, replaced by the—Keeper of the Horses seal that had imprisoned the Monkey King.

...

The seal shattered.

"Hahaha, I'm free!" A voice boomed through the air.

A golden light flashed, and a figure appeared before them.

"It's good to be greeted with such a grand entrance. This is perfect!"

The figure landed before Roy and the others.

He had a monkey-like face, wore golden armor, and his eyes gleamed with a golden light that seemed to pierce through everything.

"You're Sun Wukong?" Roy asked, looking at the monkey with his arms crossed.

"Indeed. I am the Handsome Monkey King, born from stone, the Victorious Fighting Buddha, here to battle," he declared.

A staff appeared in his hand.

He swung it casually, and a powerful gust of wind swept through the area.

His fighting spirit soared, and his aura, like a raging sea, changed the color of the sky.

"Young man, I can sense your strength," the Monkey King said, his eyes fixed on Roy with a challenging glint.

"Since you're a Campione, and I am a Heretic God, let me be your opponent!"

He brandished his staff, eager for a fight.

'He wants to fight me?' Roy thought with a sigh.

"Very well, then let's play," he said with a shrug.

"Hahaha, you're the one who freed me, so I won't harm you as a token of gratitude," the Monkey King declared with a laugh.

"I suggest you use your full strength," Roy replied with a smile.

The Monkey King was a Planetary Being, but he was still weaker than Roy.

The Monkey King laughed heartily, then leaped onto a golden cloud and charged towards Roy with incredible speed.

"Haa!" He swung his staff at Roy's head with a deafening roar.

Clang!

Roy effortlessly blocked the attack with Est.

Sparks flew as the two weapons clashed, and the surrounding ground shattered from the impact.

Their power was immense.

However, this was just a test from the Monkey King.

He hadn't used his full strength yet.

He continued his assault, raining down blows on Roy.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Roy and the Monkey King clashed in the sky, trading thousands of blows in a matter of seconds.

Two streaks of light intertwined, creating a storm that tore through the earth and caused magma to erupt from the fissures.

It was a scene of apocalyptic destruction.

"Hahaha, Campione, you're strong! A worthy opponent! There are very few who can match my strength. You're definitely the first," the Monkey King exclaimed, his excitement growing.

"If you have any other tricks, use them now. You won't have another chance," Roy said calmly.

The previous battle was just a warm-up. He hadn't even gotten serious yet.

"Alright, if you want to see my true power, then try this!"

The Monkey King loved a good fight and wouldn't reveal his true strength until the very end.

Roy smiled.

He swung the Demon Slaying Sword.

"Ice Breathing, Second Form: Ice Dragon Swirling Tail!"

He hadn't used Breathing Styles in a while.

An ice dragon materialized, roaring as it lunged towards the Monkey King.

"Bring it on!"

The Monkey King slammed his staff against the dragon's head.

BOOM!

But the ice dragon didn't shatter.

Instead, the Monkey King was thrown back, crashing into the ground.

"Your Majesty, you're amazing!" Ena cheered, her face flushed with admiration.

"Of course, Roy is the strongest," Asia added.

The Monkey King flew back into the sky.

"Hahaha, that was a good one!" he laughed, despite the wounds on his body.

"If you don't use your full power, you won't have another chance," Roy warned.

He wanted to see the Monkey King's Authorities. Otherwise, he would have already defeated him.

"Alright, it seems I have to get serious now."

The Monkey King's expression turned grim. He had realized that Roy wasn't using his full strength yet.

And even so, he was struggling. This Campione was incredibly powerful.

He decided to go all out.

"The divine staff reflects heaven and earth, the divine sword unites yin and yang! I, the Handsome Monkey King, by the oath of brotherhood, summon my sworn brothers! Appear, Zhu Ganglie! Appear, Vaisravana!"

As he finished the incantation, a figure materialized beside him.

It was a pig demon with a chubby, jovial appearance.

But beneath the fat lay powerful muscles. And his face was that of a pig, with a long snout and black stubble.

He had beady eyes, small triangular ears, short tusks, and wore black armor over his massive body.

This was Zhu Ganglie. subordinate God to The Monkey King
