(Cao Cao POV)

"So you're the guy who's been swinging around my spear?"

I couldn't believe it, (Y/N) (L/N) was standing before me. I was certain that I killed him, yet there he stood before me. Wait, this isn't (Y/N), those eyes were different. Last I recalled, his eyes were (e/c) and like a wild shark, yet this person's eyes were rainbow colored and like a wise sage. I got into a battle stance as the man noticed my stance, and he took a look at Sairaorg.

"Hey Regulus Nemea, you want to help me fight this tool?" (Y/N) questioned the Longinus Sairaorg was using, but I didn't hear anything. "That's alright, you found yourself a good user, protect him would ya? That's what I designed you to do."

"So who are you?" I asked the man who was possessing (Y/N)'s body, no way in hell is he human. I'm only as strong as I am because of the Longinus, but this guy doesn't have that, so he can't be that strong.

"You can call me (Y/N), after all reincarnations of me all share my name." The man informed me, so I guess he is (Y/N). "So, Cao Cao, you can either run away, or fight me. If you choose to fight me, you'll want to use your balance breaker, otherwise this may not end well for you."

I refused to back down, so I activated my balance breaker, Polar Night Longinus Chakravartin, summoning seven orbs around me. In response to this, (Y/N) snapped his fingers, and some kind of magic circle appeared underneath all the injured devils, in an instant, all the devils vanished into thin air, with pebbles in their place. This is just a theory, but that spell he just used only switches places with objects.

"Correct!" Like he was hearing my thoughts, (Y/N) clapped his hands in a congratulatory manner. "Oh yeah, I can hear what you're thinking, so don't go around thinking you can keep secrets from me!"

That's absurd-!

"It's true, and if that's what surprises you, you're in for a fright." (Y/N) pointed upwards, and I looked up to see a ring of different instruments, all of which were playing some kind of eerie tune. "Gran Rey Orchestra: Fake Fate."

A rainbow colored aura covered (Y/N)'s body, and in an instant, he was in front of me. I attempted to use Parinayakaratana on him again to kill him, but I was distracted by (Y/N)'s right arm turning into a white dragon's claw. (Y/N) tried slashing at me with his claw, but I managed to block the strike before it could hit me, still, his arm's strength is not to be taken lightly. I jumped back and extended the True Longinus' blade towards (Y/N), who smiled as the blade pierced his stomach, yet the blade did no damage whatsoever. Instead (Y/N)'s body appeared to turn into flames where the blade hit.

"Mana Overdrive: Incinerate." (Y/N) held his palm towards me, and instinctively, I used Maniratana to move in front of me.

From (Y/N)'s palm, an unbelievable amount of raw magic power came forth, there was enough mana to completely cover the entire street in raw magic power, there was so much in fact, Maniratana almost shattered. The magic quickly dispersed, but to my surprise, (Y/N) was gone as well. I suddenly heard the sound of metal creeping from above me, and I turned around to be met with a confusing yet terrifying sight. A giant, humanoid steampunk machine came crashing down towards me, but I managed to use Hatthiratana on it to force it to levitate. The weird entity had four legs, three arms on each side of it's shoulder, and four bull-like faces, all of which pointing a different direction from one another and expressing a different emotion. This weird mechanical atrocity also had axes in each hand.

"Taurus, face of rage!" (Y/N) appeared on top of a skyscraper, and the atrocity's head began rotating until the angry bull face was in front.

The axes in each of its hands were covered in flames, and it threw the axes towards me, but I managed to fly out of the way just before the axes could hit me. I decided to fly towards (Y/N), who just shook his head.

"Careful mate, coming towards me could result in a calamity..." (Y/N) picked up a pebble and tossed it towards me, and despite me completely dodging the rock, it somehow broke my leg. "Hey Pyrian, Ventia, roast this tool."

From a massive magic circle, (Y/N) summoned a crimson colored western dragon and a mint colored wyvern, but they weren't nearly as powerful as other dragons. The crimson dragon shot fire from its mouth, and I used Kahabateiratana to summon warriors made of light, I ordered them to attack the dragons and atrocity. I focused my attention to myself, and I chanted a spell before a mint green magic circle encoated me in a mint green aura. This aura was a spell made by Georg, and he made it for me to use in case of an emergency. It gave me enhanced reflexes, strength, defense, healing properties, and more.

"Parinayakaratana." I aimed the tip of my spear at the two dragons, and a white light shot from it, piercing the two dragon's chests and causing them to fall to the ground before vanishing into nothing.

"Aw well that's a shame, I liked those dragons." (Y/N) held his hands in front of his face, and he summoned a sword in one hand and a paintbrush in the other. "Now, you wanted a fight did you? It would be quite rude of me to not provide you with one. Now, Breath of Rain, Eighth Form: Kelpie."

Around (Y/N)'s body, many different weapons appeared as he aimed the tip of his sword at me like a fencer. He thrust the sword my way, and all of the weapons he summoned flew in a straight line towards me. I spun Longinus around incredibly quickly to block all of the blades, causing them to fall to the ground, but as I did so, I noticed kanji was on the blades, facing me. The kanji suddenly started glowing like the sun, and fireballs shot at me from the kanji. I created a defensive magic circle to absorb the blast, but I was defenseless to the attack of radioactive lightning coming at me from behind. I suddenly got an idea of summoning a warrior behind (Y/N), making it use it's spear to make (Y/N) fall onto the ground. (Y/N) dropped his weapons and was on the ground, allowing me to pierce his chest and raise him into the air.

"(Y/N), you're just like every other race, trying to play god." I used Parinayakaratana to destroy (Y/N)'s chest, causing him to cough up blood. "Well let me tell you something, there's only one person in the world fit to play that role...!" I threw threw (Y/N) at the base of a skyscraper that was still standing, causing the entire building to collapse on top of him. "...Me."

I watched in silence as the entire skyscraper fell on top of (Y/N), rubble and dust could be seen as the massive building crashed down, and steel could be heard bending as well as the sound of shattering glass. I knew right away (Y/N) died once again, so I decided to make my way back to Georg. I noticed the metallic atrocity stopped moving, so maybe that means (Y/N) died once again. Still, his rainbow eyes haunt my vision, and how did he obtain such power? I was honestly scared.

"I don't know, Cao Cao, being a god can't be too hard." From behind me, (Y/N) emerged from the rubble, with some major injuries like his arm barely holding itself in place, but all his injuries quickly healed and were replaced with golden colored scales. "I mean, I'm the most skilled and intelligent person on the planet. Oh, and another thing." (Y/N) outstretched his hand. "I'm not playing god." The sword known as Almighty appeared in (Y/N)'s grasp. "This whole time, I've been playing it human."

(Y/N) raised his sword into the air, and I felt the gravity itself change. Rubble and debris began hovering all around me, and I tried using the True Longinus to anchor me in place, but I was forced to start hovering as well. Thousands of weapons appeared in a ring surrounding us. I could feel nothing but raw power coming from each of these relics, exactly like my True Longinus, except these weapons were more malicious, evil even. I recognized some of these weapons as those powerful relics (Y/N) normally wielded. I looked at (Y/N) once more, and he began spinning his sword, causing all the relics to spin rapidly.

"Witness the power of mankind!"

(Y/N) roared as he threw the blade at me, and I could do nothing to stop it, letting it strike my chest. All of the other weapons followed suit, piercing, crushing, burning, freezing, or downright right destroying my body. I could do nothing about it, and (Y/N) didn't even look to be breaking a sweat. Could this be the power of the strongest human? How big is the gap between us for him to be capable of doing this? I closed my eyes to accept my fate, for there was nothing I could do against this person.

"Aaaand, scene."

My eyes shot open, and I was lying on the ground. In front of me, (Y/N) looked completely unscathed as he examined my Longinus. I stood up and examined myself, I was unharmed? How?

"Oh everything that just happened was an illusion, an illusion made by yours truly." (Y/N) explained as he helped me up and handed me my spear. "You see, despite killing him, (Y/N) wanted you to live. Jeez that kid is too nice for his own good."

"Wait, so your power is illusions?" I questioned as I examined my spear, it looked the same as usual.

"Oh heavens no, my ability is the power of creation." (Y/N) explained. "Well, I mainly create new spells and techniques from nothing, which may not sound like anything special, but there are some things I created you should be thankful for."

"So you really are the person who created the Longinus." I was in awe, all of these years, I thought the God of the Bible created them, but I was wrong. "Why did you create these weapons?"

"I created everything for mankind to protect themselves from the other factions, not for terrorism." (Y/N) put a hand on my shoulder, and the true Longinus disappeared. "As a punishment for your faction abusing your power, I'm taking away all your Longinus until I decide to return them to you. So no more True Longinus, Dimension Lost, or Annihilation maker for any of you."

"Huh?!"

"Also, turn yourselves in, or I'll make sure to turn my illusion into a reality."

With that said, (Y/N) began walking away with an outstretched hand, and the True Longinus flew into it like all his other weapons. Despite my fear of the man, I deeply respected him, so I decided to oblige. I had no weapon anymore, so there would be no point in fighting. However, my question brought more questions. Were humans considered a fourth faction at some point? How did (Y/N) forge the Longinus? But my biggest question is, why do the Longinus feel like they were crafted with a purpose, while the relics were crafted with a violent purpose?

(Scene change, brought to you by an old image of Steve/(Y/N), using all 13 of the Longinus at the same time facing off against something like an Eldritch horror.)

(Your POV)

"Alright kid, you can take the wheel now."

I was given control of my own body once again, along with this feeling of exhaustion. I guess this is the price of me using this power for too long, even though Steve only used my body for thirty seconds, it feels as though I swam around the world for days. I almost collapsed on the ground, but I managed to use the True Longinus to hold me up like a walking stick. However, it suddenly disappeared, and I almost fell over, that is until a familiar person grabbed onto me and wrapped my arm around his shoulder, allowing him to support me.

"Hey Buddy, sorry for missing out." Issei helped me on my feet as we continued walking through the ruins of the city. "So I hope I haven't missed much, being in a coma and all that."

"Issei, it is very good to see you again." I smiled, happy to see my best friend was back to his healthy self. "I would hug you, but...I just feel exhausted."

"If you hugged me, you'd probably crush my bones." Issei flexed his arm jokingly. "Or maybe not, since I've got a new body made from Great Red's scales after I died."

"Wait, you died too?" I questioned, and Issei nodded. "We die a lot don't we?"

"Yep, goes to show that nothing can keep the Crimson Dragon and King of Hope down!" Issei's positivity was contagious, I missed having my best friend around. "Wait, you died?! How the hell does that happen?!"

"Oh yeah, Cao Cao happened, but don't worry, I got a new body." I gestured to my body, and apparently my god parts were still here. "So how are you holding up?"

"Well I'm alright, but I had the best dream while I was in that coma." Issei informed me, and I decided not to say anything about the dream being my handiwork. "I actually got the harem I've always dreamed of, and I got some new powers I can use now! I can show you, but I'm pretty tired from fighting that giant monster."

"Speaking of which, it's pretty quiet now, are the monsters gone?" I wondered out loud, noticing the silence of the city.

"Oh yeah, all the monsters suddenly vanished after I took care of that big one, maybe it was the source of power for them?" Issei guessed, but I knew that the monsters disappeared because Steve stole Annihilation Maker, but I wonder where he put it.

"(Y/N), there you are!" Connla appeared from my shadow, scaring Issei enough to drop me before summoning the boosted gear. "Oh look, Issei is alive too, hooray."

"That was the fakest hooray I have ever heard." Issei growled as Connla walked over to me and picked me up off the ground. "Huh, you're not here to hurt us?"

"No, you were unconscious when I was recruited, but now I am a member of the Tarot." Connla explained, and Issei made his boosted gear disappear. "Now come on, everyone is waiting for us."

With that said, Issei and Connla helped me to the camp where everyone was. Though calling it a camp would be an overstatement, it was just everyone sitting on or against some rubble getting healed by Mwindo and Asia. This little camp was in what used to be a park, so there was grass and broken trees all around us. Rias, who was wearing my sealskin, noticed me almost instantly. Rias got up from the rock she was sitting on and ran as fast as her legs would take her to me. Even when she was right in front of me, she didn't stop, she tackled me onto the grassy ground with both her arms wrapped around my neck and her lips firmly planting themselves on mine. Rias' tongue wasted no time in entering my mouth, and I wrapped both my arms around Rias in a hug. When she was satisfied with the kiss, she broke the kiss and looked at me with joyful tears in her eyes.

"(Y/N), you're okay!" Rias happily clung to me before planting more kisses on my lips. "Don't do that ever again! I was just so...depressed without you by my side. I love you (Y/N), but you're never allowed to die like that again, understood?"

"Yes Rias, and I'm sorry for worrying you like this." I apologized to the girl, who only got off me because Akeno and Koneko pulled her off. I stood up to my full height, and Rias looked up at me. "I won't worry you ever again."

"Let's just say you owe us after scaring us with that little stunt of yours~" Akeno pulled my collar down to her height and planted her lips on my own, using her tongue to enter my mouth and fight my tongue for dominance before breaking the kiss. "Ah~, that's better. I missed your taste~"

"Akeno, what the heck?!" Irina scolded the fallen angel as Xenovia walked up to me and planted a quick yet firm kiss on my lips. "XENOVIA?!"

"What?" Xenovia looked at her angel friend. "(Y/N) owes us after scaring us like this, so I'm taking his lips as compensation."

"Excuse me (Y/N), I-is it alright if I k-kiss your cheek." Asia awkwardly requested, and since everyone's kissing me now, I leaned down so Asia could plant a quick yet sweet kiss on my cheek, followed by Koneko doing the same.

"Excuse me what the fuck?" Issei was starting to piece together what was going on, I already accepted my fate.

"(Y/N), oh my goodness I thought we lost you, I never got the chance to properly apologize for stripping in front of you." Coriana walked towards me with Kuisha.

"Wat?"

"(Y/N), there will be a punishment for you when this is all over, just for scaring us like that." Sona suddenly hugged me from behind. "But for now, let's just celebrate the fact that you're still alive."

"WAIT, (Y/N), HOW MUCH CHANGED SINCE I WAS OUT?"

"A lot."

Suddenly, I noticed a couple of people running towards us. I noticed that it was Rossweisse, Gasper, and Onihime running towards us. Rossweisse was visibly unscathed, while Gasper and Onihime appeared to only be slightly injured from something. All three of them reached us, with Gasper being out of breath. We all just stared at each other before Onihime spoke up.

"Okay, what the FUCK just happened here?!"

(A/N: ATTENTION: One the 100th chapter, I'll be doing a Q&A thing, so ask questions plez. I'll remind you guys about it every chapter up until then. Why? Because 100 chapters is a lot, especially since I started this series some time in November 2020. Like not releasing it, but started working on the series PERIOD.
