Nanoha Takamachi, a magic instructor who was training her students, turned around and saw her friend Fate, an executive officer of the Time and Space Administration, rushing out of the smoke and dust.
"Something's wrong, Nanoha!"
"That ranking list in the sky is actually real."
"Ainz Ooal Gown really exists, and he even received a reward."
Takamachi Nanoha's expression remained solemn, without a hint of a frown.
She was naturally also watching the changes in the sky, but from her perspective as a Grand Magister...
They felt this was just an illusion created by some evil sorcerer to distract them and carry out their true purpose.
The worst option is the one that's truly true.
But now, her friend is showing her the video on her phone.
This proves that the least likely option is actually true.
Is it true?
"Hasn't the world already reached peace?"
"How can there be such a terrifying demon?"
Takamachi Nanoha was in disbelief.
"I'm afraid the darkness in this world is far greater than what we've eradicated."
Fate shook her head, reluctantly acknowledging the fact.
"Bone King?"
"Fiftieth on the combat power ranking, Fate, it seems she should be our next target."
Nanoha Takamachi's eyes flashed with murderous intent; she showed no mercy in the face of evil.
"I'm not so sure. The power rankings haven't been fully released yet; there might be even more terrifying beings later on."
Inside the cafe in the Seventh School District.
Lu Lin pulled Yifang Tongxing to sit by the window.
Sitting nearby him were Whitebeard and Ainz Ooal Gown, along with a large number of their subordinates.
Although he really wanted to see a battle between Devil Fruits and magic, it was clear that such a fight wouldn't happen on the spot.
A quick glance around.
His attention was drawn back to him.
I was filled with surprise and joy.
Because he found someone in this coffee shop who should never be there.
At the fourth table in front of him sat an elegant man with short blond hair, sipping coffee.
He is known as Gilgamesh, the Hero King.
Suddenly, the coffee shop door was kicked open.
In the distance, a burly man with a stubble beard suddenly drove an oxcart into the distance.
She was completely unconcerned about the strange looks she received from those around her.
He roared in Gilgamesh's direction.
"King of Heroes, come out and duel with me!"
(Please give me flowers and recommendation votes, thank you readers!)
Chapter Seven: The King of Heroes (Seeking flowers and recommendation votes)
Everyone around was startled.
Who is this burly, bearded man? Driving this weird contraption into a coffee shop in broad daylight, looking for a duel?
Is there anything more outrageous than this?
Ainz Ooal Gown, Whitebeard, and the others naturally turned their gazes in that direction as well.
It landed on the stubble-faced man.
They saw that although this man was rude, he also had an extraordinary bearing and exuded an aura of dominance.
He's definitely not an ordinary person.
Based on their past behavior, they would not hesitate to drive away or kill anyone who dared to disturb them.
But now... after this power ranking was released.
Things are different then.
Anyone who appears strong could be a top performer on the list.
After all, even someone as powerful as Ainz is only ranked fiftieth.
"My friend, why can't we talk things out instead of resorting to violence here?"
Ainz Ooal Gown continued to demonstrate his magnanimity, taking the initiative to resolve the predicament.
"Yes, why can't we talk things out instead of making such a fuss?"
Whitebeard also acted as a peacemaker, as he didn't want a fight to break out here, since he was just a figurehead.
"The Conqueror King? Interesting."
Lu Lin whispered the big man's name, finding it even more interesting.
Unexpectedly, I encountered two legendary kings, the King of Heroes and the King of Conquerors, on the streets of Academy City.
That's so interesting.
What exactly happened to bring them both to this place?
The Conqueror King didn't care where he was; his purpose in coming here today was to challenge the Hero King to a duel.
But his gaze swept across the room and landed on Ainz Ooal Gown.
Startled, he smiled bitterly to himself:
"How is this possible? Isn't this Ainz Ooal Gown, ranked fiftieth on the leaderboard?"
"My luck is just too good!"
In an instant, Iskadar, who was about to start a fight, calmed down.
After all, the opponent's strength is recognized by the Heavenly Golden Ranking.
No matter how powerful he is, he can't destroy a city with a single blow.
He felt awe when facing someone truly stronger than himself.
"Well... okay then."
"However, that guy, the King of Heroes, will have to come too."
Iskarda pointed a finger rudely at Gilgamesh behind Lulin, showing no respect whatsoever in his words.
Everyone then turned their gaze to Gilgamesh.
Ainz then extended an invitation.
"So, young man, may I come over here?"
Everyone around went crazy.
If it were just Whitebeard and the King of Conquerors looking at them, that would be one thing, but Ainz Ooal Gown's gaze also fell upon them.
Who is he? He's a super strongman officially designated by the Heavenly Golden List.
A ruthless and bloodthirsty super demon.
It is absolutely possible for a single strike to destroy a city.
Under the gaze of such a terrifying being, most people would have already fainted.
However, Gilgamesh remained unmoved, continuing to sit by the window, elegantly gazing at the sky and the pedestrians on the street.
"Hey!"
"Hero King, I respect you as someone important, but you should also know when to be pragmatic."
"The fiftieth strongest on the Heavenly Ranking, Ainz Ooal Gown, extended an invitation to you, and you dare to remain indifferent?"
In his heart, Gilgamesh was powerful, but could never be as great as Ainz Ooal Gown.
The opponent is at most on the same level as me, and cannot be compared with the experts on the Heavenly Ranking at all.
Suddenly, gasps of surprise came from passersby outside the street.
"Look, the Heavenly Ranking has been updated again."
"I wonder who it will be this time."
"They're out!!"
"The forty-ninth, the King of Heroes!!"
Inside the coffee shop, everyone looked up at the sky.
The words in the sky came into view.
[Ranked 49th in the Power Ranking: Two-thirds of the gods, King of Heroes, ruthless tyrant, the god's chosen one to control humanity—Gilgamesh.]
Next to it is an image of a golden-haired hero in full golden armor, resembling a king.
The people on the ground were stunned by what they saw.
The identity of the forty-ninth person completely terrified them.
In particular, the other Servants and Masters who were hiding in Academy City and participating in the Holy Grail War all turned ashen-faced upon hearing this news.
After all, no one would remain calm once they knew their opponent was a top-ranked expert on the Heavenly Ranking.
Inside the West Café, the Conqueror Iskardar's face turned green.
He had just scolded the other party, telling him to do as Ainz Ooal Gown said.
