A domineering voice echoed in Yuzuriha's ear. She obediently nodded her head. In front of Green, besides a sense of satisfaction and security, there were no other feelings in her heart.

But suddenly, Yuzuriha was startled and pulled at Green's clothes.

"Together!"

"......"

Green did not expect this kind of reaction from Yuzuriha. After all, she had just experienced a close call with death. If it weren't for sensing the information transmitted by the 'SOS Imprint', Yuzuriha would probably have...

Normally, after such an experience, it would be normal to have some lingering fear. But Yuzuriha at this moment wanted to fight together with him.

While Green was touched by her determination, he decisively rejected this dangerous idea.

"Leave it to me."

Green exerted force in his wrist, then swung it forcefully. The source energy messenger was instantly thrown out. Green didn't miss this opportunity, and immediately teleported to the location where the source energy messenger was flying, striking it with a heavy blow from behind.

Although it seemed like Green was simply throwing a punch, the destructive power contained within that fist was definitely not weaker than Yuzuriha's forbidden curse magic potion. Unexpectedly, something happened when Green threw that punch.

The shrunken source energy messenger, after being hit, unexpectedly caught Green's fist. Its white arm muscles bulged, giving it an incredibly powerful appearance.

For some reason, even though the source energy messenger only had a pair of black eyes, Green felt a strong sense of confidence emanating from them. It was an inexplicable feeling.

However, Green was not intimidated. He forcefully pulled back his fist, creating distance between them, then reached up towards the sky and clenched his hand. A pitch-black longsword appeared in Green's hand.

"Master, I will do everything in my power to help you defeat the enemy!"

In the instant Balibeil appeared in Green's hand, a terrifying aura that pierced to the depths of all living beings emerged. All those enveloped in this aura fell into fear, even the natural world trembled faintly.

This was not only due to Balibeil's own strength, but also the result of combining it with Green's power.

The source energy infused with the power of the Demon King, combined with Balibeil's power, had an extremely harmonious compatibility. It was no longer at 100% of its full potential, but at a level of 200% or even more.

Under this intimidating aura that frightened all things, even the source energy messenger couldn't help but tremble.

"It's been a while since I've used a weapon. I hope it'll be handy."

Green showed off a sword dance, then pointed his sword at the source energy messenger. There was no profound and unpredictable sword technique, no obscure and difficult-to-understand power release points or action techniques. He simply swung his sword towards the source energy messenger's direction, and in an instant, a black sword aura connecting heaven and earth appeared. With a momentum that could split the heavens and earth, it slashed towards the source energy messenger.

The expression of the source energy messenger immediately turned serious, even though its expression was imperceptible to ordinary people. It merged its hands together in a sunflower-like shape at its waist, then forcefully pushed towards the sword aura. In an instant, a huge square-shaped barrier appeared behind it, passing through its body to intercept the massive black sword aura, emitting a faint golden light.

Green's brow furrowed as he thought to himself that this Source Force envoy was indeed extraordinary. Could it be that they sent out a stronger envoy because Yuzuriha's power was too strong?

In reality, the God of Light was the weakest among all the orthodox gods. The strongest Supreme God had already been defeated by the Source Force envoy and their power was reclaimed. Judging by the power of this Source Force envoy, the power of the Dragon God must also be one of the strongest among the gods.

But Green was only momentarily surprised in his mind and had no other thoughts.

He saw the black sword energy that could be witnessed by the entire capital city collide with the white barrier. The black sword energy effortlessly penetrated the Source Force envoy's barrier, just like cutting through paper, and continued to advance at full speed without any reduction.

However, the barrier formed by the Source Force did not shatter after being cut open. Instead, it condensed into two balls of light and miraculously transformed into two energy waves that rushed towards Green.

Green tightened his grip on Balibeil, and a hint of seriousness appeared between his brows.

Even if this Source Force envoy gave up defense, they were still willing to launch an attack. It seemed that they truly knew no fear. But Green quickly discovered that the two energy waves were not attacking him, but rather Yuzuriha and the others who were in the distance behind him.

Upon realizing this, the two energy waves had already bypassed Green and instantly increased their speed.

Green glared fiercely at the Source Force envoy, but the latter had already been split in half by the black sword energy, revealing a white cross-section. Surprisingly, there was no bloodshed.

But that wasn't the focus. When the two energy waves were about to strike Yuzuriha, Green suddenly felt a commotion coming from his personal space. Upon opening his personal space, he saw a stream of light rushing towards the two energy waves and appearing in front of Yuzuriha at an even faster speed. The two energy waves seemed to be attracted towards the stream of light and charged into it.

In just a moment, the two energy waves were completely absorbed by the suddenly appearing stream of light, leaving no trace behind.

The radiance of the stream of light became brighter and brighter, but after more than ten seconds, it gradually dimmed and revealed its true form.

It was a sword, a sword with a pale golden body and a hilt adorned with exquisite gemstones.

At first, Green was stunned, but he quickly realized that this sword was no ordinary weapon. Its performance just now was a testament to its extraordinary nature.

The broken sword that Green obtained after a verbal battle with Sin Mage Huste in the auction of the Caesar Empire had gained a new life. The energy contained within the sword was in no way inferior to Balibeil. Moreover, it gave off a completely opposite feeling compared to Balibeil.

If Balibeil was a demon from hell, then this sword was like an angel from heaven.

The feeling it gave off was completely different, but there was no compromise in terms of its aura. Green could feel Balibeil's restlessness.

"It's a fine sword."

There was no need to say it.

As long as one wasn't a fool, they could tell that this sword was not ordinary.

And after this sword regained its new life, as if it had self-consciousness, it returned to Green's hand. And as Green grasped the hilt of the sword, another voice resonated from within his heart, engaging in direct communication with him.

"Herry Stolt"

"Name?"

"Name."

The voice sounded like that of a young girl.

But this sword seemed even colder than Balibeil. Although Balibeil was very obedient in front of Green, it would easily turn on anyone else in an instant. Although Herry didn't have as much hostility, its tone was very calm, yet it still exuded a noble aura.

As the energy waves emitted by the Source Force envoy were absorbed, the onlookers let out a sigh of relief.

They were extremely worried when the energy waves were about to attack Yuzuriha. If it weren't for their trust in Green, they would have rushed forward to their own demise.

But they didn't expect that it would be a sword that ultimately resolved the situation.

Even Yuzuriha was stunned for a while before realizing that the one who had saved her was a sword. And that sword was now in Green's hands, seemingly his weapon.

In reality, even without Herry, Green would have been able to deal with those two energy waves. However, this sword absorbed those two energy waves directly. Green could even clearly feel the energy within the sword.

It wasn't just the two energy waves from earlier, but also the presence of source energy and magic. It seemed that many different energies were mixed together, and these energies coexisted peacefully without any conflicts.

At that moment, Lilith, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, also noticed Green in the sky, as well as the two swords in his hands.

She took a look at the scene, seeing that there was no sign of enemies and that Green was present. This could only mean that the situation had been resolved without a doubt.

Green descended from the sky and arrived in front of the group.

At this moment, Yuzuriha, Mio, Tia, Aloof, and Lilith all stood before Green, looking at his unscathed face and body. Lilith sighed with relief first, followed by a displeased expression.

"Green, we already know about the situation from Mio, although we aren't clear on the details. Did you really plan on facing such a powerful enemy alone and keeping it from us?"

Green didn't expect Lilith's first question to be this, and he struggled to come up with a response.

He did indeed want to handle these matters on his own. After all, there was no benefit in letting them know, especially since Green wasn't entirely confident in their abilities.

However, after going through the battle just now, Green realized something.

If the Source Force envoy had targeted Yuzuriha once, there would definitely be a second time, and it wouldn't be surprising if it escalated to a third, fourth, or even more encounters.

You can't hide the truth, especially in a situation like this.

"...Yes."

After hesitating, Green admitted it, but he didn't explain further.

Upon hearing this answer, the women each showed different expressions, but without exception, they all had worry and unease, directed towards Green.

"We saw the power of that enemy just now, but judging from your expression, it's definitely not as simple as it seems, right? I'll tell you, when you shouldn't act tough, don't act tough. If you need our help, just say so. Since you chose us in the first place, it's definitely not because we're a burden, right?"

Tia was particularly dissatisfied with Green's demeanor. He used to act like a spoiled child in front of her, but now he always appeared mature and confident. She didn't want to bring up past issues, but the enemy they just encountered was clearly not an ordinary creature.

It was because Green was aware of this that he felt uncertain. So far, every force envoy sent to eliminate their targets was generally stronger than the targets themselves. Who knows how strong the one coming for him would be.

If they were to rush in to protect themselves, there was a high possibility of collateral damage.

Based on current intelligence and observations, each force envoy focused solely on their target. They would respond to anything outside of their target, but the most important thing was to collect the essence power of the target.

For example, the force envoy they just encountered, even if it meant being split by the sword energy, would still direct their final attack towards Yuzuriha.

"I'm sorry, Tia. You make a valid point. But in this situation, my strength is needed. I understand your concerns, but I don't want you to do anything in vain."

After saying this, Green did not dare to look at Tia's expression. Instead, he turned to Yuzuriha.

"Yuzuriha, you fought against it just now, so you must have some understanding of this enemy. But I want to tell you that the next enemy will be countless times stronger than the previous one."

"..."

Yuzuriha remained silent, giving no indication of her thoughts.

Green then looked at Aloof, Lilith, and Mio in turn, before bowing his head and sighing silently in his heart.

Among the three, Green was least worried about Aloof. Although Aloof lacked power against violence, they had once ignited Green's passion for life. Aloof was an extremely important person to Green.

As for Lilith, Green didn't have much thoughts about her at first. However, as time passed, Green realized that Lilith was indeed changing herself for him. Growing up in a noble family, Lilith had already accomplished something remarkable. She was a capable and reliable girl.

As for Mio, there was no need to say more. Green's attitude towards her had already been made clear during the time of the Elf King.

Perhaps there were many other girls in the world who were similar or even better than them, but for Green, it was them and not others that he had encountered. That alone was enough.

"Green, I..."

Aloof seemed to want to say something, but in the end, they didn't speak and instead turned their head and left without a word. Tia hesitated for a moment, then took a final look at Green and followed.

Green had never felt so powerless in his life. Or rather, no matter how powerful one's abilities were, they were insignificant in front of an unknown enemy.

"Yuzuriha, try to hide your Dragon God power as much as possible. It would be even better if you could release the power from your body. That way, you would be much safer."

Green made a suggestion, but he didn't want to forcefully control what Yuzuriha would do.

He then retrieved Balibeil and handed the sword, which had undergone rebirth from the cocoon, to Lilith, who looked confused. He also told her the name of the sword.

"Heli Stolt, is that the name of this sword? But why give it to me?" Lilith already had the Ice and Fire Dual Swords given to her by Green, and by combining the two swords, they became the even more powerful Ice and Fire Sword, so in terms of weapons alone, Lilith felt that she was already sufficient.

Green immediately answered this confusion. "This sword can absorb various types of energy, and I'm giving it to you so that you can better unleash its abilities."

After the brief exchange and exploration earlier, Green discovered that this sword indeed had the ability to absorb various forms of energy, and it could also store the absorbed energy stably within it. Coupled with Lilith's talent for "Control," Green believed that it would be like giving wings to a tiger.

Green then cast his gaze towards a nearby sphere of light, left behind by the defeated elementalist, containing an incredibly pure source of power.

"Go and give it a try, attempt to control that force."
