Start by Becoming a Mangaka

"Alright, that's enough," Cao Cao said and snapped his fingers. Then the black block covering Ophis burst. The tongue that was connected to it returns to Samael's mouth. Samael sank into the magic-circle as he fulfilled his role.

"OOOOOOOOOOOOO..."

Samael howled once again with his creepy cry.

The Ultimate Dragon-slayer that even took down Vali easily disappears into the magic circle while making a cry of anguish. The magic-circle also disappeared.

Ophis who was released from it looks like she did before.

Everyone was confused and wondering what Samael had done to Ophis since they didn't see any difference in Ophis after she had been released from Samael's mouth.

"My power was taken. This is what Cao Cao aimed for?" Ophis said without expression as if the matter that had happened earlier didn't even affect her.

"W - What...." Those words made everyone startled, 'Her power is taken?!'

Cao Cao smiled, "Yeah, that's right. Ophis. We wanted to put you underneath us and use your power. But having you do as we wish is very hard. So we changed our minds." He pointed to the tip of his holy spear in the sky.

"We will take your power and create a new 'Uroboros'," Cao Cao declared.

"I see..." Azazel puked blood and said, "You used Samael to absorb Ophis's power and give birth to 'The New Ophis' from the power that you have taken..."

"Yes," Cao Cao smiled and said, "That's exactly right, Governor. We want the Uroboros to do what we command. Truth is, Great-Red isn't a being that important to us. This plan all began because we are tired of pleasing her with it. And we were able to challenge and test the ideal of the Hero-faction about challenging the superior being of 'Can we defeat the infinite being and obtain that power?'."

Azazel had to admit that he was amazed by them, "It's amazing for you guys to be able to take down the infinite being in a way like this."

"No, Governor. This is different from taking it down. Actually we do need the symbol to gather strength. In that part, Ophis was excellent. She became a propaganda tool and gathered those with the strength that made a force like that. But using Dragon-God with whom we can't read what she's thinking as our puppet isn't good," Cao Cao said.

"You're a very negative way of thinking. You act like a human," Azazel said.

"I'm very honored with your compliment," Cao Cao smiled and said, "Yes, I am a human." For him, being told a human was his greatest compliment.

Georg looked at those who were being beaten down, "Cao Cao. If it now, can't you finish Vali and Hyoudou Issei off?" He felt that both of them were a dangerous aspect for them in the future.

"You are right. It's good to finish them off when we can. Both are increasing their power in an impossible way. In the future, they will become more troublesome dragons than Ophis. But lately, I'm thinking that it is a waste. I can understand why the leaders of each faction want to look over the two-heavenly dragons. Only at this generation, the way of their growth is abnormal. That also includes the people related to both of them. They are beings that are very rare in terms of data. Perhaps the ones who will unleash the full power within the Sacred Gear are not us, but rather them," Cao Cao said and added, "Also, don't forget. This is him. We might be able to stop him now but if he is getting serious...."

Georg suddenly remembered the man that had turned him into a panda, "What are you going to do now?"

"Me? I will teleport to his location," Cao Cao said.

Georg frowned, "Are you sure? You're in your female form!" He was afraid something would happen to him.

"It's alright," Cao Cao said.

Their conversation raised their eyebrows since they felt that it was really weird.

"Oh, right. Where is the power of Ophis taken by Samael supposed to be transported?" Cao Cao asked.

"I made the equation during the summoning so it will be sent to the research facility at the main headquarters Cao Cao," Georg answered.

"I see. I will be returning first then, " Cao Cao said and wanted to teleport.

"Cao Cao! Why aren't you killing all of us?!" Vali asked while standing up, shedding out a lot of blood through his body.

"I made the plan along with taking you guys down without killing you. Aren't you satisfied with it? To tell you the truth, the Balance-Breaker of the holy-spear still needs lots of tunning. That's why I used this occasion to see its strong points and weak points," Cao Cao said, adding, "I also don't want him to hate me."

"....." They were speechless when they saw Cao Cao's expression.

"Don't tell me you...." Vali could handle the pain on his body and dropped on the ground.

"I'll go back now. Georg. Call the group Grim Reapers. Hades is after the weakened Ophis. Also, the swapping transportation that was done by the guys from the Vali team before. Can you try that? Can you transport me to his place and swap me with Seigfried? I will leave the rest to Seigfried," Cao Cao asked.

"I only saw it once so I won't know if it will work smoothly. But I will try it," Georg said and started to prepare.

"To be expected from the descendant of that professor, Georg Faust, who made a pact with the legendary devil Mephistopheles," Cao Cao nodded with a smile.

"My ancestor is so great that it puts too much pressure on me. Anyway, roger that Cao Cao. Also about the information, I gained before," Georg said and passed a paper on Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's eyes became sharper after reading the note, "I see. So this is the way Old-Maou gives his gratitude for saving him. No, I knew it from the start. Well, he did cooperate with us enough." He shook his head and said, "Enough. Teleport me."

Georg nodded and teleported him, swapping him with Sigfried.

The Gremory Group, Vali, Kuroka, Le Fay, and everyone could only see this scene with a helpless expression without being able to do anything.

Cao Cao teleported to the artificial space where she had trapped him. She was in her female form and saw someone standing in the middle of girls who were sleeping on the bed with a red face and erratic breath.

"Ha... Ha...."

The girls m.o.a.ned and were unable to stand up sleeping tiredly on the bed and on the ground.

Cao Cao saw someone with an animalistic expression that was standing straight but she could see an unsatisfied expression from his face. She walked calmly toward him and said with a smile, "So all of that isn't enough? Do you want to try me?" She tried to taunt him and that man moved toward him, pushing him to bed without hesitation.

Yuuki looked at Cao Cao who was in front of him only suddenly something popped out inside his head.
