"Snapped!"
Kanzaki Hikaru's palm, like a giant mountain, pressed down on Theodora. Instantly, Theodora's abyss magic was shattered, and she collapsed to her knees.
"How is this possible?! How can you be so strong?!"
Theodora roared in disbelief, seemingly unable to accept this fact. In his eyes, Kanzaki Akira relied more on Accelerator, even though he was his teacher. However, Accelerator's strength lay in his superpowers, not anything else.
"Fallen, Theodora!"
Kanzaki Teru's words were like a judgment from the heavens above, brooking no argument.
No, no, no... I am the Demon King's blood relative, the future Demon King His Majesty, you can't kill me... If you kill me, you will be hunted down by the entire Underworld.
Upon hearing this, Shinomiya Gan'an, Yuki Shozo, and the others' expressions changed. Indeed, Theodora's identity was too heavy a burden for them; they could not afford to have anything happen to her.
pity--
Before Shinomiya Yan'an and the others could speak.
Countless cyan sword beams erupted from Kanzaki Teru's hand, piercing through Theodora and relentlessly severing her life force.
"Ahhh-"
The pain, no less than that of being slowly sliced to death, caused Theodora to let out a mournful cry, and even Hayasaka Ai outside the door couldn't help but tremble.
Qingdi——
He is the Azure Emperor!!!
In the agonizing moment of death, Theodora finally confirmed Kanzaki Hikaru's identity. Then, she was reduced to a pile of minced meat by countless blue sword beams, and the stench of blood filled the entire hall.

Chapter 48: Ajeka
Dead silence—
The entire main hall of the Four Palaces residence was completely silent, as if it had been plunged into a stagnant pool.
Almost everyone was stunned!
Whether it was because she couldn't accept this reality or what, she couldn't help but look at the boy standing there with awe, the decisive and ruthless Kanzaki Teru.
Theodora said to kill, and just like that, she killed him!
After a long time——
The first to come to his senses, Tianhai Dashan, murmured in disbelief.
"Theodora possessed the strength of a high-level demon, yet she was killed so easily!"
"The strength of a supreme-level demon... at least the strength of a supreme-level demon, perhaps even—"
Arima Kishou pushed up his glasses, his muscles tensed, and his mind was on high alert, as if some taboo being stood before him, and the slightest carelessness would bring about his annihilation.
Arima Kishou's heavy tone, coupled with the context of his words, made it clear to the others what he meant by the unfinished sentence.
A powerhouse at the Demon King level—
Kanzaki Hikaru is very likely a Demon King-level powerhouse.
In an instant!
Naoko Yanagawa, Shozo Yuuki, and Manami Katsura all changed the way they looked at Teru Kanzaki.
Like Theodora, the three of them had some doubts about Kanzaki Hikaru's strength. Although they knew he might be strong, they couldn't estimate just how powerful he was, since they didn't have a good reference point and had never seen him fight.
But now it's completely different. Kanzaki Teru can crush Theodora so easily, as if she were an ant.
Kanzaki Hikaru's strength is probably at the Demon King level.
The fact that Kanzaki Teru's name is not displayed on the [Transcendent Ranking] is the best proof of this.
"Kotoha seems to have a good relationship with him."
Previously, when Katsura Manami wanted Katsura Kotonoha to become Theodora, it was, in a sense, for the sake of the Katsura family and Katsura Kotonoha herself.
Now that Theodora is dead, the demon contract can no longer be established. If her daughter, Katsura Kotonoha, can be with Kanzaki Teru, who in Japan and even the world would dare to touch the Katsura family, whose members possess demon-king-level power?
However, she wasn't the only one with this idea; the eyes of Yuuki Shozo and Yanagawa Nako beside her also flickered.
Especially Naoko Yanagawa, whose daughter, Shirayuki-hime, still harbors feelings for Teru Kanzaki; perhaps there's still hope...
"Hui, you killed Theodora. Isn't she a blood relative of the Demon King of the Underworld? This is a huge problem."
While others were lost in their own fantasies, Shinomiya Gan'an was genuinely worried about Kanzaki Teru.
Upon hearing this—
Princess Shirayuki, Kaguya Shinomiya... and the others looked at Hikaru Kanzaki with a hint of worry in their eyes. He was the Demon King of the Underworld, a figure from mythology, a being whose very name was enough to inspire awe.
If the enemy attacks, will Kanzaki Teru be able to withstand it?
This is an unknown!
Meanwhile, Katsura Kotonoha tightly gripped Kanzaki Teru's clothes, her eyes filled with tears of anxiety, after all, it was all because of her.
"Senior——"
"It's alright. From the moment I first saw scum like Theodora, I've been thinking about how to kill her."
Kanzaki Teru comforted Katsura Kotonoha, then turned to Theodora, who had been reduced to a pulp, and said, "Demon King Ajaka, you've been watching for so long, it's time to get out of your blood ties."
In an instant——
Everyone was startled and quickly looked around.
Demon King Ajeka!!!
Could it be that the Demon King of the Underworld from mythology has already arrived?!
So fast?!
However, the scene that appeared the next second answered everyone's questions—
"Azure sword light, what's your relationship with that guy?!"
A majestic voice rang out in the hall. A phantom projection of a young man appeared on Theodora, who had already turned into minced meat, and spoke with a solemn expression.
"How ruthless. If my attack had been blocked by the projection embedded in Theodora, she wouldn't have died so tragically. After all, she's your blood relative."
Kanzaki Teru said with a sarcastic expression.
"In my eyes, those blood relatives who colluded with the old Demon King's faction and attempted to overthrow the underworld's ruling system were merely tools to help the underworld spy on the old Demon King's faction."
It's clear that Ajaca is fully aware of all the shady dealings Theodora is doing behind the scenes.
This projection of Ajaca's consciousness was secretly buried within Theodora's body; rather than protecting him, it was more accurately described as monitoring him.
……
Not only Shinomiya Gan'an and the others, but also Arima Kishou and Tenkai Daizen were seeing such a heavyweight mythological figure for the first time, and their shock was inevitable, their eyes filled with horror.
What shocked them even more was that Kanzaki Teru was able to converse with this legendary demon king on equal footing. Was it because he was so powerful that even the demon king Beelzebub was wary of him, or was there some other reason...?
"Senior!"
Katsura Kotonoha continued to mutter those two words to herself.
this moment--
She began to understand why Bai Xueji's ex-girlfriends had chosen to break up with their seniors back then, and why they still harbored feelings for each other.
Sometimes, mystery and a sense of difference can add a unique charm to a person. However, if this sense of mystery and difference is too strong, it will bring a desperate sense of inferiority, a feeling of never seeing the end of the road, as if the other person is right next to you, but the place where they stand is as if they are not in the same dimension at all.
This kind of humble affection would be extremely agonizing for anyone.
"It's not that Hui has any shortcomings, but in a sense, he is too outstanding, so outstanding that he is not worthy of others."
Princess Shirayuki sighed and shook her head; these were her most genuine thoughts.
"You're quite something, aren't you? It seems that among all of you, I, your 'childhood sweetheart,' actually know the least about you?!"
Kaguya Shinomiya wore a self-deprecating smile.
……
"Kansaki Teru, the Azure Emperor..."
Ajaka stared intently at Kanzaki Teru, trying to figure out what the relationship between the two was.
If you were to say that Kanzaki Hikaru is the Blue Emperor, not only would he not believe it, but any other transcendent would probably make a fool of themselves if they came to that conclusion, including his close friend Sazex.
Nothing else——
Kanzaki Teru's age is far too young. Who would believe that a human boy who is not even twenty years old could rise so high and reach the position of a transcendent?
It's important to know that almost all the Transcendent beings, including him and Sazex, have gone through thousands of years to transcend the boundaries of their race and become unique Transcendent beings.
Indeed, the azure sword light that just killed Theodora was indeed the unique symbol of the Azure Emperor.
There must be some connection between Kanzaki Teru and the Blue Emperor—
Instead of speculating about these useless things, you should think about how to fulfill the demonic contract that Theodora signed in the name of your Astaroth family.
Kanzaki Teru changed the subject and reminded him.
"The Demon Contract is still valid?!"
Katsura Kotonoha felt a pang of panic.
"After all, some self-righteous guy signed it in the name of the family, and it was the Astaroth family that fulfilled the promise. And now that Theodora is dead, the part about you is automatically invalid."
Kanzaki Teru explained with a half-smile.
Shinomiya Gan'an, Yuki Shozo, and the others all looked at Kanzaki Teru with astonishment, their hearts pounding with worry. This was a blatant and overbearing clause, and they were truly afraid that this Demon King might turn the entire Tokyo into a sea of fire in a fit of rage.
Ajeka merely frowned slightly.
He also understood that Kanzaki Hikaru's words were completely fallacious; since Theodora, who had signed the demon contract, was dead, the entire demon contract should naturally be abolished.
Kanzaki Teru clearly wanted to gain some advantage in this matter.
But it doesn't matter, these are all minor matters.
