Chapter 1037: Khaos Brigade
Hearing Lingyun's words, Sirzechs knew that Lingyun had definitely obtained some information.
Immediately, Sirzechs nodded: "That's right, besides that, there is another matter! I wonder if Your Excellency Lingyun has heard of the 'Khaos Brigade'?"
"Khaos Brigade? It doesn't sound like anything good! Is this your other objective?" Lingyun said indifferently.
"That's right, the Khaos Brigade is the other commission from our three races." Sirzechs nodded.
The Khaos Brigade is a group composed of dangerous individuals from the Three Great Factions. In a sense, their goal is destruction; they are like a bunch of terrorists, madmen who cannot stand world peace and want to plunge the world into war once again.
"A group merely composed of dangerous individuals from the Three Great Factions shouldn't be worth this much attention from you," Lingyun said indifferently.
Lingyun did not believe that, with the strength of the three races, they would be unable to deal with this group composed of certain rebellious factions from their own ranks; the more important reason was likely the leader of the Khaos Brigade.
"That's right, if it were just such a group, it naturally wouldn't be worth our attention, but the leader of the Khaos Brigade is an existence that makes even us tremble!" Sirzechs said.
The leader of the Khaos Brigade is the legendary Infinite Dragon God—Ophis, whose true form is the Ouroboros that symbolizes the Infinite Cycle, possessing Infinite power and born from the nothingness of the Dimensional Gap. Her power is equal to that of gods, and even gods fear her; in the past, she was the only existence that even gods dared not attack. However, Ophis was quite unlucky; she encountered the legendary True Red Dragon God Emperor—Great Red. After a fierce battle, Ophis was defeated and driven out of the Dimensional Gap.
In order to return to the Dimensional Gap and reclaim her original tranquility, Ophis formed the Khaos Brigade. Dangerous individuals from various factions also agreed to help her deal with the True Red Dragon God Emperor in order to borrow Ophis's power, but in reality, she is merely a figurehead leader being utilized for the power she provides.
And Ophis herself is a rather simple existence, unaware that the members of the Khaos Brigade are merely using her to obtain power from her hands, while also borrowing her identity to intimidate others.
It is precisely because of Ophis's existence that the three races are quite wary of the Khaos Brigade; otherwise, the powerhouses of the three races would have long since taken action to uproot the Khaos Brigade entirely.
"Infinite Dragon God, Ophis?" Lingyun raised an eyebrow.
"That's right, the strength of that Infinite Dragon God is not something that can be imagined at our level, and she is an existence that we all fear. Even the gods of the past dared not attack this Dragon God. Therefore, when facing the Khaos Brigade, we have exercised much restraint. But this time at the Three-Way Meeting, the Khaos Brigade will certainly not let this opportunity pass, so I hope you can take action during this meeting and join us in dealing with the members of the Khaos Brigade," Sirzechs said.
"Interesting, then let me see what this Khaos Brigade is truly capable of!" Lingyun smiled and nodded.
"Then I will leave the matter to Your Excellency Lingyun when the time comes." Sirzechs nodded at Lingyun and said.
Having achieved the purpose of coming here, Sirzechs did not linger at Kuo Academy and left in a hurry. After all, as the leader of the Devils, Sirzechs is quite busy. If it hadn't been to discuss the Three-Way Meeting with Lingyun, Sirzechs would not have come here.
After Sirzechs left, the Occult Research Club room fell into a strange silence.
"Teacher, you said before that you wouldn't be staying in this world for long; is that true?" After a period of silence, Rias finally broke the quiet.
"That's right, I won't be staying in this world for long." Lingyun nodded. "After all, our main purpose in coming here was to find Baiyin."
"Baiyin?" Hearing this name, Tachiro Shirone couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
This name was not only her original name, but also the name Tokisaki Kurumi had given her in the Sword Art world.
"Then, will Teacher be taking Baiyin away when the time comes?" Rias asked somewhat nervously.
"As for that, it depends on Baiyin's own wishes," Lingyun said with a smile. "Besides, it's not like I can't come back after leaving! Just like Xia Yin; she still goes back to her original world to attend school every day!"
"Original world?" A look of shock could not help but appear on Rias's face. "Could it be that Teacher, you are able to stably travel between different worlds?"
"As long as the Gate of Worlds is constructed, that won't be a problem!" Lingyun said with a smile.
"I never imagined that Teacher would possess such an incredible ability." Rias's tone was full of amazement.
Although Lingyun had not shown her anything special, from just a few words, Rias could perceive how terrifying Lingyun's own strength was; being able to travel between different worlds—even the legendary True Red Dragon God Emperor might not be able to do such a thing.
"Th-then, are Kirito, Asuna, and Yuuki doing well?" Tachiro Shirone asked softly.
In Baiyin's memories, these were all comrades who had once fought side-by-side; now that her memories had been restored, she naturally wanted to know how they were doing.
"Them? Naturally, they are doing just fine!" Lingyun said with a smile. "Of course, if you have time, you can visit them through the Cloud Realm!"
"Really?" Hearing this, a joyful smile could not help but appear on Tachiro Shirone's face.
"I never lie to people!" Lingyun said earnestly.
"Teacher, if the Infinite Dragon God appears with the Khaos Brigade, won't that be very dangerous?"
"The Infinite Dragon God's strength is indeed very powerful, but it is still within my range of handling. However, if you do see Ophis when the time comes, you must not be surprised!" Lingyun's tone paused abruptly as he said this.
A strange premonition suddenly rose in his heart, and this premonition made his expression suddenly become somewhat strange.
"What's wrong, Teacher?" Seeing the change in Lingyun's expression, a look of worry could not help but appear on Rias's face.
"It's nothing, I just caught some rather interesting images!" Lingyun smiled and waved his hand. "Hmm, you might know when the time comes!"
Hearing Lingyun say this, Rias couldn't help but become even more curious, but looking at Lingyun's demeanor, she knew that Lingyun likely wouldn't tell her what had happened right now.
