The Absolute Godspeed of Infinite Worlds

Chapter 734 - 734

The armor appeared resplendent, its metallic surface gleaming like a mirror, complete with a helmet. Though the figure merely stood there in silence, their presence was undeniably striking in Eiji's eyes.Noticing his gaze, the armored knight turned to look at him.

For reasons unknown, the knight gave a slight nod in acknowledgment.

"Ranked fourth in the KOK League, France's strongest Blazer— Ascarid!"

Eiji's expression turned grave.

The was unquestionably a world-class powerhouse.

Their ranking in the League was second only to the Expired Lolita.

What was most terrifying was that the Expired Lolita had been active for over a decade, accumulating immense prestige, yet could only secure the third rank.

But the was different!

They had debuted just last year and immediately claimed the fourth rank in the League, surpassing countless veterans and nearly overtaking the Expired Lolita!

Due to the full-body armor, no one knew what lay beneath that mask—not even Eiji could discern their true appearance.

"Were they sent by the League?"

Eiji pondered this internally while returning the nod, not wanting to appear disrespectful.

He reflected that even he might struggle to gain an advantage against such a formidable opponent.

The crucial question was whether this , like Edelweiss or the Expired Lolita, had reached the level of a Blazer capable of disregarding causality!

If not, Eiji was confident in his victory.

But if so, the outcome of a real battle would be far less certain.

Of course, Eiji had great confidence in himself, estimating his chances of winning at ninety percent.

The remaining ten percent was merely due to his incomplete understanding of that realm.

"And then, the last one…"

Eiji's gaze shifted to the easternmost section of the spectator stands.

If facing the only made him wary, then confronting this person filled him with profound apprehension.

In the easternmost seats.

As if positioned in opposition to Edelweiss, Nangou Torajirou, and the Black Knight, this figure also stood at the highest level of the spectator stands.

He was a young man with distinctly Western features, appearing to be in his twenties, tall and slender with cold, handsome looks.

He wore a simple black trench coat with straight lines and sported sunglasses.

No one around seemed to notice his presence, as if he were invisible to all.

The same applied to Edelweiss, the Black Knight, and the others.

Despite their global fame, no one acknowledged their presence.

But this man was exceptionally different.

Merely by standing there, he exuded a terrifying aura that seemed to devour everything around him!

Eiji knew this man.

After all, he had been renowned worldwide for decades, achieving fame far earlier than Edelweiss.

His name was Abraham Carter.

Affiliated with the "Esper Unit" of the USA, his title was , hailed as the strongest Blazer of the !

The Alliance's Superman.

The League's Whitebeard.

And the Twin-Wings who joined .

These three individuals, each belonging to one of the three major international organizations, are hailed as the world's strongest. Excluding those reclusive powerhouses, these three are the top-tier strongest in the entire Worst One hierarchy!

That's right.

Although Edelweiss is the world's strongest swordsman, she is not the world's strongest Blazer!

Who the true world's strongest is, no one knows.

Because these three have never faced each other directly.

Going up against the "Superman" would require the resolve to confront Twin-Wings.

As for his own chances of victory against Superman... to be honest, Eiji himself found it unpredictable and utterly unclear.

"Did America send him here to gauge my true capabilities?"

A strong sense of vigilance rose in Eiji's heart.

Although the Alliance and the Coalition shared the common enemy of "Rebellion,"

in recent years, Rebellion's decline had been evident to all. As a result, the Alliance and Coalition were no longer as peaceful as they were at their founding, having engaged in countless overt and covert struggles.

As the Coalition's strongest Blazer, it made sense for Superman to come and investigate Eiji, the Sword God.

But Japan belonged to the Alliance, while America was a member of the Coalition.

A single misstep between the two sides could spark the flames of war!

If it really came to that, things would escalate drastically!

"Multiple forces entangled... I hope nothing major happens."

Eiji sighed inwardly.

At the very least, not during the Seven Star Sword Art Festival.

"It's starting!"

His senior sister's voice, full of anticipation, rang in his ears.

Hearing this, Eiji pulled his thoughts away from his reflections and turned his gaze to the arena.

While his mind had been racing, the preparation time had passed.

Kurogane Ikki and Stella emerged from the left and right preparation rooms, their intense gazes locked fiercely, solemn and filled with pure fighting spirit!

At this moment, neither spoke—only their eyes, bearing the same resolve, clashed.

They had long been impatient!

The first match of the semifinals was about to begin!

"The Uncrowned Sword King vs. the Crimson Princess—begin!"

With the host's enthusiastic announcement, the two on the field instantly sprang into action.

"Lair of the Princess Dragon!"

The moment the match started,

Stella shouted, plunging her golden greatsword into the floor tiles.

The floor, which even artillery shells would struggle to shatter, was shattered by her single strike.

Immediately after, flames erupted, surging wildly along the floor's patterns toward the edges of the arena!

With a deafening roar, the entire arena shattered!

Flames rippled out, scorching the earth red, turning the entire arena into a sea of magma. Only a few fragments of the arena remained, floating like rocky islands on the molten sea.

An astonishing heatwave swept through the venue, eliciting gasps from countless spectators.

"A clever move!"

Saikyo Nene, standing at the lowest level of the spectator stands, praised in admiration.

"Ikki-boy is a swordsman. No matter how skilled a swordsman is, they can only fight on solid ground because they need the footing to deliver powerful slashes. By destroying the arena with magma, Ikki-boy's mobility will be severely limited. And if he falls into the magma, he'll lose instantly!"

In the blink of an eye, Stella had driven Kurogane Ikki into a desperate situation!

Immediately, Stella charged toward Kurogane Ikki like a cannonball, fearless of the magma's intense heat, moving like a dragon.

The immense force resembled a meteor impact, surpassing even Kurogane Ouma's power!

Kurogane Ikki's expression tightened to the extreme, and in an instant, he unleashed a flash of lightning with his strike.

"Huh? That swordsmanship?"

Shinguuji Kurono's eyes widened abruptly.

"Isn't that the Twin Wings Style? When did he learn it?"

Though she had never seen it firsthand, she recognized it from descriptions.

With a single glance, Shinguuji Kurono could tell that Kurogane Ikki had concentrated all his power in an instant, delivering a slash as swift as a flash of light—the hallmark of the Twin Wings Style!
