They had also recently learned that, without exaggeration, all the wielders of divine artifacts have the potential to become powerful. Although there are different strengths among divine artifacts, the divine artifact that Kanzaki Teru covets must be a force to be reckoned with.
For a moment——
Kaguya Shinomiya, Snow White, and Kuroyukihime all looked at Asuna Yuuki with a hint of envy in their eyes.
"A divine artifact! A divine artifact actually resides within me!"
Asuna Yuuki stared at her hands in disbelief, still slightly dazed.
"Possessing a divine artifact is one thing, awakening it is another, and whether it can be developed to the point of 'forbidden use' is even more unknown."
Kanzaki Teru's words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the excitement that had just begun to ignite in Yuuki Asuna's heart.
"That's too much—"
Kuroyukihime said in a low voice.
"A man who is exceptionally stingy in some respects."
Kaguya Shinomiya shook her head as well. Having grown up with Akira Kanzaki, she was very familiar with some of his nasty personality traits.
"Although I do know a few methods of awakening, especially this artifact, which was my target before, I had extremely comprehensive development experience with it..."
Kanzaki Teru looked at Yuuki Asuna with a half-smile and continued, "Unfortunately, someone isn't my girlfriend, is she, Miss Asuna?"
"……you!"
Suddenly, Asuna Yuuki broke down, her beautiful eyes glaring at Teru Kanzaki. Was this guy even a man? So petty and calculating!
"Moreover, the karma associated with this artifact is quite significant; you need to be prepared."
"What preparations?!"
For some reason, Yuuki Asuna felt a sense of foreboding.
Kanzaki Teru smiled slightly and said casually, "Prepare for a nemesis with the strength of a Demon King. Of course, the premise is that you can awaken this divine artifact."
Suddenly, Asuna Yuuki felt a chill run down her spine—
She had no idea what had happened, how she had suddenly gained a nemesis who was a demon king-level powerhouse. Didn't this mean that as long as she awakened the artifact, that nemesis would come knocking on her door? On the other hand, if she kept it unawakened, they would be at peace.

Chapter 47: Annihilation
For the first time, Yuuki Asuna experienced firsthand what it felt like to be caught in a dilemma.
That annoying guy—
Just as Asuna Yuuki was hesitating whether to humble herself and ask Teru Kanzaki for advice.
unexpected.
"I'm rather curious about what kind of divine artifact Miss Asuna possesses that would attract a Demon King-level powerhouse."
His voice carried an aristocratic elegance as well as a deeply hidden arrogance.
Immediately, Kaguya Shinomiya, Asuna Yuuki, Princess Shirayuki, and others stood up and slowly walked down from the second floor.
They are -
In addition to these four parents—Shinomiya Gan'an, Yuuki Shozo, Katsura Kotonoha's mother Katsura Manami, and Shirayuki-hime and Kuroyuki-hime's mother Yanagawa Nako—there is also the teacher Katsura Kotonoha had invited to guide them onto the path of training, as mentioned earlier on the train.
Arima Kishou of CCG, Tenkai Daizen, one of the Twelve Divine Generals of the Onmyoji Hall, and a young man who was walking at the front and had just spoken, a pure-blooded demon from the underworld.
"I did run into an 'acquaintance': Theodora Astaroth, a pure-blooded demon noble from the underworld and the successor patriarch of the Astaroth family."
Kanzaki Teru had a disdainful smile on his lips.
I never expected to run into this scumbag who likes to collect church saintesses here. Should I find a reason to kill this annoying guy?
Kanzaki Teru had ulterior motives.
Then——
"Uncle Shinomiya!"
Kanzaki Teru ignored the others and greeted Shinomiya Gan'an with respect.
“Hui, you have indeed not disappointed me and your father. If your father He Ming is watching from heaven, he should be at ease.”
Shinomiya Kanan came to Kanzaki Teru, patted him hard on the shoulder, and said with satisfaction.
Kanzaki Kaaki——
He is Kanzaki Teru's father and a close friend of Shinomiya Kanan. On his deathbed, he entrusted him to Shinomiya Kanan's care. This can be seen from his engagement to Shinomiya Kaguya. Shinomiya Kanan takes care of him just like a biological son. To be more precise, he takes care of him even more than a biological son. After all, even when facing his daughter Shinomiya Kaguya, he is more indifferent and rational than he is now showing his emotions.
"Uncle Shinomiya, you flatter me."
Kanzaki Teru said with a smile.
"You flatter me, you're being too modest. Hui, I hope you don't mind me calling you 'Hui'."
Naoko Yanagawa, the mother of Snow White and Black Snow White, said with a gentle smile, "You, who have taught the number one on the [Transcendent Ranking], deserve any praise."
"It's just a pity that you and Bai Xue have some regrets."
"Hello, Aunt Naoko!"
Kanzaki Teru greeted him with a smile.
To be honest, this was the first time I had met Shirayuki's mother. In the past, when I was getting to know her, I had tried my best to avoid the troublesome matter of her family.
At this moment, the eyes of Arima Kishou, Tenkai Daizen, Yuki Shozo, and others were all fixed on Kanzaki Teru, this eccentric figure who was famous on the [Dimensional Ranking].
Although Kanzaki Teru did not make it onto the list, all the heavyweights on the list had intricate connections with him. Just the fact that he mentored Accelerator, who ranked first on the [Transcendent Ranking], was enough to make anyone dare not underestimate him.
"Kanzaki-kun, you haven't answered my question yet."
Theodora was quite dissatisfied with Kanzaki Hikaru's disregard, but she also knew that he was not someone to be trifled with, so she suppressed her dissatisfaction and waited for the opportunity to make him pay in the future.
Theodora's personality is somewhat like that of a viper: patient, lurking, and ready to strike when the enemy is off guard.
"Just know that it's not something you can reach."
Kanzaki Teru glanced at Theodora and said calmly.
"Haha... I can't touch Kuni893, Kanzaki-kun is far too arrogant, but surely you don't know my identity, that's why you dare to spout such nonsense."
This belittling made Theodora both furious and amused.
"Theodora Astaroth, a pure-blooded demon noble of the underworld, the successor patriarch of the Astaroth family, and also a blood relative of the underworld demon king Ajeka, am I right?"
"A blood relative of the Demon King, Ajeka!!!"
What was an insignificant status in Kanzaki Teru's eyes became completely different in the eyes of Shinomiya Kaguya, Yuuki Shozo, Shirayuki-hime, Yuuki Shozo, Amami Daizen, and others.
They never expected that the demon summoned through the demon contract would have such a prominent status in the underworld. Katsura Manami was overjoyed, just like she was seeing her daughter Katsura Kotonoha. Now, the Katsura family and her daughter had gained a powerful backer.
"you know?!"
After Kanzaki Teru revealed his true identity, Theodora was quite surprised.
"As expected, they are an arrogant race of gods and demons—"
Kanzaki Teru chuckled dismissively, then said to Shinomiya Gan'an.
"Uncle Shinomiya, the contracts between you and the devil depend on the person. What kind of contracts did you sign with him?"
Kanzaki Teru didn't believe that Theodora would be so kind as to teach Kaguya Shinomiya, Kotonoha Katsura, and others how to train.
Yuki Shozo, Shinomiya Kan'an, Katsura Manami, and Yanagawa Nako looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, Katsura Manami stepped forward and said, "Kamikaze, Kotoha must become its kamikaze. This is our devil contract."
Suddenly——
"Mother, this...!!!"
Katsura Kotonoha was shocked, never expecting that she would be sold out like this without her knowledge.
"Kotoha, you are ranked eighty-fifth on the [Fairy Beauty Ranking]. The [Ranking Reward: Basic Physique Modification] will allow you to become a true demon after becoming Theodora's familiar. That is equivalent to the effect of the [Ranking Reward: Advanced Physique Modification]."
Katsura Manami explained patiently.
"Yes, but..."
Katsura Kotonoha was so anxious that she almost cried.
One thing she knew was that if they truly became a couple, regardless of the outcome, she would inevitably be separated from her senior.
"Miss Katsura Kotonoha, now that you've become my kin, I won't order you to do anything excessive."
Theodora said, trying her best to keep a smile on her face.
"Senior——"
Katsura Kotonoha turned her last hope to Kanzaki Teru.
"Don't worry." Kanzaki Teru ruffled Katsura Kotonoha's hair and said, "This kind of trash is not qualified to make you a member of the family."
"You bastard, some of your words will come at a price!"
Theodora threatened, her face grim.
"Theodora, you'd better disappear from my sight before I get angry."
Kanzaki Teru ignored everyone's reactions and spoke coldly.
"You mere human, do you really think that just because Accelerator is behind you, no one will dare to do anything to you!"
Theodora was enraged, and abyssal magic began to surge from her hands, instantly enveloping the entire hall in a chilling atmosphere, as if it had fallen into the depths of hell.
Arima Kishou and Tenkai Daizen protected Shinomiya Gan'an, while Yuuki Shozo and others stepped back.
"Uncle Shinomiya, you're going to make a little mess of your living room."
Before Shinomiya Kan'an could even react, Kanzaki Teru had already made his move.
"Whoosh-"
Kanzaki Hikaru teleported to Theodora's right.
Theodora was immediately shocked, not having seen his movements clearly at all, but then she hurled the abyss magic in her hand fiercely.
"Go to hell!!!"
