Before this, Badr had only encountered one of the beings known as the strongest [Two Heavenly Dragons], the Heavenly Dragon Gods.

That was Vali Lucifer, whom he had met previously. Vali's Sacred Gear was the manifestation of the Vanishing Dragon, Albion, one of the Two Heavenly Dragons.

Albion, the White Dragon Emperor, and Ddraig, the Red Dragon Emperor – these two powerful dragons had always existed in this world, passed down through human generations in the form of Sacred Gears.

Now, the host of the White Dragon Emperor had appeared, but the host of the Red Dragon Emperor was still nowhere to be found. Badr gazed at the Dragon Slayer holy sword, Ascalon, before him, his mind buzzing with questions.

Michael, knowing full well that the Fallen Angels had someone like Vali in their ranks, chose this moment to gift him a Dragon Slayer holy sword. What was his intention?

Was the Archangel trying to stir something up?

Badr pondered silently, maintaining a calm exterior.

"This is a sacred relic, isn't it? Why would Archangel Michael think of giving it to me? I'm a devil, after all."

"Hehe, rest assured, I've treated this sword. Even devils can touch it. Besides, haven't you already achieved the fusion of holy and demonic power? I made this decision precisely because you achieved that."

Michael continued in a peaceful tone:

"I consider this meeting an excellent opportunity for the three factions to reconcile. Our creator, God, has perished in battle. The former Satan who opposed us is also dead. The Cadre of the Fallen Angels are all lying low. This is our chance."

"But this opportunity has been staring us in the face for centuries," Badr countered calmly.

"They were always wary in the past, but things are different now. If we don't unite, other forces will intervene. We must make a decision."

Michael continued, his gaze fixed on Badr.

"This holy sword is a gift from the Angels to the Devils. Of course, I also sent a gift to the Fallen Angels. The Devils also gave us a few legendary Holy-Demonic swords. So the situation is clear."

Badr chuckled wryly.

"A gift from the Angels to the Devils? And it just happens to land in my hands? That's going to attract a lot of unwanted attention. I'm not worthy of such a treasure."

"Don't be so modest. Your accomplishments are plain to see. Besides, this was a decision made by your Satan himself. Who would dare object?" Michael said with a smile.

Badr, however, held a different view, muttering under his breath:

"...He's really looking for trouble for me. This is definitely his way of getting back at me for dating his sister."

Michael: "..."

Akeno Himejima: "..."

It was...hard to disagree.

...

Who would have thought Badr would dare speak of a Satan in such a way?

Even Michael couldn't help but laugh.

"Hehe, how amusing. I'll be sure to relay this to Sirzechs. I'm curious to see his reaction."

Badr wasn't fazed in the slightest. He examined the [Dragon Slayer] carefully.
