Zhou Ye gestured for Kiba Yuto to stand in the open space in the center of the room.
"Kiba-kun, well then, please begin."
His voice was calm, yet it carried a convincing power...
"Create as many different types and attributes of magic swords as possible so that I can observe them carefully."
Yuto Kiba took a deep breath, his eyes instantly becoming incredibly focused.
He slowly extended his right hand, palm facing forward, and let out a low shout.
"【SwordBirth】!"
In an instant, a deep blue magical light gushed forth from his palm like a spring.
Amidst the dazzling light, one after another, demonic swords of different shapes and exuding different auras began to rapidly coalesce and take shape.
The Flame Demon Sword, its blade wreathed in raging flames.
The Ice Demon Sword, its blade radiating a chilling aura.
The Thunder Demon Sword, its blade wreathed in dazzling lightning.
There are even holy swords that exude a gentle and sacred aura, and demon king swords that are filled with a strong ominous aura.
Each of the demonic swords emanated a powerful and pure energy fluctuation, which was terrifying.
Jill and Nanri watched intently, their breathing becoming increasingly rapid.
This is the power possessed by the renowned [Creation of the Demon Sword].
Deep within Zhou Ye's eyes, the power of the [Herrscher of Truth] was already operating silently.
Countless invisible data streams flashed past him like a waterfall, meticulously analyzing the energy structure, power attributes, and the unique "creative" will of each magical sword.
Nami stood beside Zhou Ye, quietly activating the new power of the [Law of Weather] within her, keenly sensing the subtle changes and flow of the surrounding elemental energy stirred up by the demonic swords.
Saeko Busujima remained silent, her sharp eyes fixed on the swords suspended in mid-air, her gaze filled with a pure longing and appreciation for powerful weapons.
Shizuka Marikawa instinctively covered her mouth with her small hand, her beautiful face filled with amazement and disbelief.
Jill and Nanri exchanged a knowing glance; they even thought of the various firearms with different attributes in the game.
Yuto Kiba created more than a dozen magic swords with different attributes and shapes in one go.
These demonic swords floated silently around his body, their tips pointing either upwards or downwards, their various colored lights intertwining to make the entire basement shimmer and create a spectacular scene.
A fine layer of sweat had already seeped onto his forehead, clearly indicating that maintaining such a large number of demonic swords at the same time was quite taxing for him.
"Mr. Zhou, is this... alright?"
He asked, slightly out of breath.
Zhou Ye nodded slowly, his deep eyes flashing with understanding, as if he had already grasped the mystery.
"Okay."
His voice was calm.
"I have a general understanding of the principles behind it."
He slowly extended his right hand, palm facing up.
"Next, it's my turn."
The moment he finished speaking, a power completely different from Kiba Yuto's magic, yet far more vast and profound, emanated from Zhou Ye like a giant dragon awakening.
Kiba Yuuto's pupils suddenly contracted.
Chapter 93 A Surprise for Rias and Akeno
The air in the basement seemed to freeze due to the power emanating from Zhou Ye.
That power was completely different from Kiba Yuto's demonic power; it was more vast and more profound, as if it originated from some primordial law at the beginning of the universe.
On the walls of the room, the simple isolation barrier runes that Nami had previously set up were now flickering slightly, as if they were under indescribable pressure.
Zhou Ye's right palm was outstretched, facing upwards, without any surging magical power or dazzling flashes of light.
Deep within his eyes, the power of the [Herrscher of Truth] silently operated, analyzing every detail, every energy node, and every construction logic of the [Creation of the Demon Sword].
"That's interesting. The core concept of the divine artifacts of the Bible is to forcibly inscribe will onto energy, giving it form and attributes. But this inscription seems to lack true flexibility."
The space in front of him was like a calm lake surface tossed with a stone, rippling with invisible waves.
Immediately afterwards, pure energy particles began to converge. They were not forcibly distorted, but rather seemed to voluntarily begin to construct according to some invisible blueprint.
The first thing to be formed was a sword hilt. It had no fancy decorations, yet it exuded an indescribable sense of perfection and harmony.
Then, the blade extended from the hilt, smooth as a mirror, gleaming with a chilling light.
There was no fire, no thunder, no divine aura, and no ominous presence.
It's just a sword.
A sword that is pure to the extreme and perfect to the extreme.
Then, the second one, the third one...
In the blink of an eye, a dozen longswords, similar in number to the demonic swords that Kiba Yuto had just created, varied in shape but also radiated powerful energy fluctuations, silently floated in front of Zhou Ye.
Some of these swords were as black as ink, as if they could devour all light.
Some of the 27 swords have crystal-clear blades, as if carved from ancient ice, exuding a chilling aura that freezes the soul.
Some swords were wreathed in fine golden arcs of electricity, yet they were so restrained that they revealed not a trace of their violent aura.
Kiba Yuto's eyes widened in surprise, and he was speechless.
He could clearly sense that although the swords Zhou Ye created echoed his own demonic sword in terms of energy attributes, they were fundamentally different.
The magic sword he created was a wild combination of will and magic, full of unbridled power and explosive force.
The swords created by Zhou Ye are like perfect creations made with the most precise calculations. Every bit of energy is used to the extreme. They are restrained and calm, yet contain an even more terrifying destructive power.
Jill and Nanri exchanged a glance, both seeing undisguised shock and ecstasy in each other's eyes.
If Kiba Yuto's [Creation of the Demon Sword] had already amazed them, then Zhou Ye's current display of skill completely overturned their understanding.
This is no longer simply "creation," but more like a control and application of "rules."
Nami's orange pupils shone brightly; her newly acquired power gave her an extraordinary sensitivity to energy. She could sense the messages from her leader.
Saeko Busujima tightened her grip on the hilt of her sword slightly. From those floating swords, she sensed an extreme sense of "sharpness" and "killing power"—a perfect weapon born purely for battle.
Shizuka Marikawa's mouth gaped open in an "O" shape, her beautiful face filled with disbelief.
Zhou Ye calmly looked at Kiba Yuto, who was so shocked that his breathing became rapid.
“Mr. Zhou, that’s…”
Kiba Yuto's voice trembled slightly as he pointed at the floating swords, struggling to organize his thoughts.
"My [Creation of the Demon Sword]?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ye gave a calm smile, as if he had only done a trivial thing.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the dozen or so swords radiating powerful aura vanished silently into the air like bubbles, leaving no trace.
“Hmm? [Creation of the Demon Sword].” Zhou Ye nodded, acknowledging Kiba Yuto’s statement.
"I must say, the artifacts created by the God of the Bible are quite powerful."
He then changed the subject, his tone carrying a hint of evaluation.
"However, there are some flaws."
Kiba Yuto blurted out the question, his tone filled with urgency and confusion.
"What flaw?"
"Evolution requires the will of the artifact's wielder. If the wielder's will falters, the [Creation of the Demon Sword] will also malfunction. In addition, it consumes the wielder's magic power. If the magic power is insufficient, the artifact cannot be used. No other effects have been discovered yet."
Kiba Yuto couldn't help but give a thumbs up. "Wow, amazing! Not only can you copy it after just a short contact, but you can also find its flaws. Did Zhou Jun really just gain power?"
"Thank you for your help, Kiba-kun. You can tell Rias what happened earlier to put her mind at ease. Within three days, she needs the artifact to break the deadlock. Also, please tell Akeno that I will prepare a gift for her as well."
Kiba Yuto didn't waste a moment.
He left Zhou Ye's residence and immediately activated the teleportation magic circle.
A flash of light, and he was back at the Occult Research Lab at Kuoh Academy.
Inside the room were Rias Gremory, Himejima Akeno, Toujou Koneko, and Aisha Algert.
Except for Gaspar, the vampire who sealed himself away, all the members of his retinue were present.
Each person's face carried varying degrees of concern.
Rias's long red hair swayed slightly when she saw Kiba Yuuto appear.
"Yu-dou, what's the matter with Zhou Jun looking for you?"
Her voice didn't reveal much emotion, but her tightly clenched hands betrayed her inner turmoil.
Yuto Kiba tried to calm his still violently beating heart, with lingering sweat on his forehead.
He gathered his thoughts, the shock still lingering on his face.
"Minister, Senior Zhu Nai, Zhou Jun, Zhou Jun..."
He said "Zhou Junta" twice, but seemed to get stuck, unable to say anything more.
Himejima Akeno's face, which had been carrying a faint smile, now showed no trace of it.
She took a step forward, her purple eyes filled with anxiety.
"What happened to Zhou Ye? Tell me quickly."
Her voice was a little more hurried than usual, filled with obvious worry, fearing that something bad had happened to her childhood sweetheart.
Kiba Yuto took a deep breath and finally uttered those earth-shattering words.
“Zhou Jun copied my divine artifact, the Demon Sword Creation.”
Upon hearing this, the entire [Supernatural Research Lab] fell into a deathly silence.
