Clap~ clap~ clap~
When Takatsuki reached the top floor of Babel, he saw Freya applauding and five people who were originally his companions standing in the corner.
However, Kiana, Mei, and Bronya were all looking at him with hatred.
Fu Hua, on the other hand, nodded at him, and Bell looked surprised to see him.
"As an imposter, you've accomplished enough to be proud of."
Freya's words once again drew Takatsuki's attention.
"Imposter?"
Takatsuki looked at Freya, surprised to hear such a evaluate.
Then he shook his head; he didn't care what others thought of him.
"This farce should end. Even if you used a god's authority to tamper with my companions' memories, it's still fake. I'm giving you a chance now: withdraw your authority within ten seconds, and I can let you go."
Takatsuki's words instantly provoked dissatisfaction from the big three nearby, but Takatsuki ignored the three of them and looked at Freya.
Freya was slightly stunned for a moment.
"To be threatened by a mortal, as a Goddess, this is truly a fresh experience."
"Do you really think you've won?"
Takatsuki looked at Freya, who showed no intention of surrendering, and said, "If you're planning to threaten me with them, then you're thinking too much."
As Takatsuki's words fell, Freya was again taken aback and stunned.
"I didn't expect to underestimate you. Facing the charm of the Goddess of Beauty, you are completely unaffected. Then…"
As Freya just turned her head, she saw that the three of the big three had already fallen to the ground.
"How could this be?"
Because Freya didn't have a Stand, she couldn't see it, but Fu Hua and the big three could clearly see stacks of book-like marks appearing on their bodies.
Heaven's Door!
Takatsuki had been below and was worried about Heaven's Door accidentally harming others and causing them to be alerted, so he hadn't prepared. But when he came up, he had already drawn patterns on his clothes with ink, and the ability of Heaven's Door activated upon seeing Takatsuki's painting.
What truly surprised Takatsuki was that Freya was not affected by his Heaven's Door.
Should he say she was worthy of being a god? Even with sealed divine power, she couldn't be affected by mortal strength.
However, Takatsuki didn't care. As long as Freya still followed the rules of the game, he wasn't worried. Even if she tried to overturn the table, the seal would send her back during that time, and because of the Dog Talisman, he was immune to death, so he wouldn't die during that time. By the time Freya realized it, she would have already been sent back, with no time to seal him.
"Fu Hua, take them in."
Takatsuki waved his hand, opening a two-meter-diameter passage beside him.
Fu Hua nodded and led the big three towards the passage.
Freya only then reacted. Too many surprising things had happened in these few seconds, and that passage was actually a spatial ability that could directly reach other locations.
Due to her arrogance, she hadn't asked about Takatsuki's abilities in detail. Because the memories of the three people regarding Takatsuki had been transferred to Freya, they thought this ability belonged to Freya. Would anyone tell the other party what abilities they had?
Ottar learned Moonwalk because he secretly observed them during their training.
"Don't you dare leave!"
Freya shrieked somewhat ungracefully as she saw her prize about to fly away.
Just as she cried out, a figure burst through the room's door and charged towards Takatsuki.
The newcomer was a cat-person, Allen Fromel, known as The City's Fastest. If Riveria was the city's strongest mage, Finn the city's strongest strategist, and Ottar the city's strongest, then Allen was undoubtedly the city's fastest.
Because of this, he also earned the title of The City's Fastest.
In less than a blink of an eye, his spear was already at Takatsuki's face.
But his attempt to force Takatsuki back failed due to Takatsuki's actions.
As The City's Fastest, Allen naturally prioritized completing the Goddess's mission.
To prevent Fu Hua from taking the others away.
However, the spear, intended to force a retreat, instead pierced into Takatsuki's body… No, it didn't pierce. As if defended by something, the spear grazed Takatsuki's body and was caught under Takatsuki's armpit.
"Got you."
Even the fastest speed will pause for a moment during an attack.
And Takatsuki seized this instant to grab the other party's arm.
Monkey Talisman, activate!
Allen felt a surge of magic invade his body, but it only caused his movements to falter, without any actual effect.
Huh? What's going on?
Takatsuki also couldn't understand what was happening, but it didn't prevent him from quickly changing his approach.
If the Monkey Talisman's power couldn't be used, then…
Just as Allen tried to pull back, he found himself floating in mid-air.
Even a very powerful person cannot exert force without a leverage point.
He wasn't like Ottar, who learned Moonwalk just by watching others use it for a few days, or rather, his arrogance prevented him from ever watching the Hestia Familia members spar.
As a first-class adventurer, Allen naturally had his own way of dealing with things. Even if he couldn't utilize his best speed in mid-air, he could rely on the spear he held.
Just as he was about to use the spear to continue attacking Takatsuki, Takatsuki had already grabbed his arm.
"Off you go!"
A huge force came through.
Allen immediately lost control of his body and flew out of the tower, smashing through the top-floor glass and soaring outside the tower.
And even now, only two seconds had passed since Allen broke through the door.
After Allen flew out of the tower, the others outside the door had already rushed in.
They were the elites of the Freya Familia.
The Gulliver Brothers and the Black and White Knights, four Liliputians and two elves.
They weren't as fast as Allen, so they were a little bit slower.
But in just these few seconds, Fu Hua and Bell had already led the three people through the passage, and Takatsuki had closed the passage.
He didn't intend to leave just like that, because he knew this matter couldn't end peacefully.
So, if that's the case…
During their recent exchange, Takatsuki had already swapped out the Kishibe Rohan character card for the newly released Natsu.
Looking at the Gulliver Brothers charging towards him and the mages beginning to chant.
Scorching flames also erupted from Takatsuki's body.
"Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame plus! Dragon blast!"
A giant magic circle appeared at the top of Babel, and a scorching aura enveloped the entire tower top. Several adventurers no longer bothered attacking Takatsuki and rushed towards their most important Goddess.
