Chapter 113

…………

It was now the dead of night, and the moon was hidden within the thick darkness, as if it did not wish to witness the filthy blood that was about to be shed.

The Tendou mansion, which was solemn and imposing by day, still maintained the antique charm and tranquility from before the "Gastrea War," as if all conflict were forbidden here.

It was a time when all things should have been resting and sleeping soundly, yet not a single person could fall into a peaceful slumber.

They did not know what they were afraid of, but they felt an inexplicable, groundless trembling fear. They woke up from deep nightmares, goosebumps rising all over their bodies, and looked outside in unease.

Tap, tap, tap.

Footsteps echoed from the street corner.

At first, they were barely audible, but as they drew closer, the sound grew louder and louder, step after step, as if treading upon their very hearts... those were the footsteps of death.

"Bang!!!!"

The intruder's right fist slammed solidly into the thick, pure steel gate. The steel gate, weighing at least a ton, was twisted into a bizarre shape before flying inward, followed by a deafening roar. But the instant before the sound could disperse, the shockwave whipped up a gale, sweeping away all the sand and dust on the ground.

From this moment on, the peace was shattered.

"Halt, intruder!"

As a Tendou clan with a long history, they naturally had their own defensive forces. The soldiers, who had prepared their defenses with lightning speed, stood like a firm city wall, aggressive and not retreating a single step as they blocked the person who had arrived.

Then, a faint scent of blood permeated the air. Suddenly, a surge of chilling dread rushed up everyone's spines. They were forced to look up at that person, the intruder wearing the demonic metal mask.

In an instant, everyone who had seen the news photos that morning realized—he was that guy who had raided the National Diet!

There could be no other candidate but him.

"Stop him for me!"

The first to appear was a sinister man in a black suit named Tendou Wakou, the most outstanding among the younger generation of the Tendou family.

Occupying a high position and usually accustomed to wielding power, he accidentally locked eyes with that man and felt his heart beating as if it were about to explode. His legs couldn't stop trembling, and his whole body was shaking.

However, Jagi had already recognized him and locked onto him firmly.

When this guy was building the No. 32 Monolith to resist Gastrea, he added other substances to it in order to embezzle public funds. He thought the Monolith built this way could withstand Gastrea, but it was corroded by the Stage IV Gastrea, Aldebaran, using corrosive fluid, thereby causing a Gastrea invasion. He was a genuine piece of trash who purely held humanity back.

Faking it—that there are still people in this worldview doing such stupid things is just beyond words.

"Fire, fire quickly!" Seeing this terrifying guy staring at him, Tendou Wakou's legs shook. Although he himself had mastered the Tendou family's secret marksmanship, he couldn't summon the courage to fight this devil-like figure and could only urge his bodyguards to go up and fight him to the death: "The opponent doesn't even have a weapon in his hands, what exactly are you afraid of?!"

Tongues of fire spat out. Under his urging and commands, the equally terrified bodyguards opened fire. Bullets that could easily take a human life with just one hit shot toward him.

Jagi did not dodge or evade. Sparks flickered on his body, and then he felt a pain in his arm. Looking down, a special anti-material bullet had pierced the defense on the surface of his body, drilling into his astonishingly strong muscles with great difficulty, only to be twisted by his counter-rotating muscles in the end.

Clang.

With a twitch of the muscles around the wound, the metal bullet head fell to the ground, bringing out only a negligible trace of blood.

"That's it, this guy can bleed too! Shoot again, shoot him dead right here!" Tendou Wakou was overjoyed. The monster who could slaughter his way through the National Diet single-handedly was not immortal!

Metal bullets surged toward him like a violent storm, covering the sky and the earth.

"Sorry, I was just playing with you guys earlier."

After finishing his fine tradition of "selling blood," Jagi began to laugh wildly.

A layer of dazzling light and flame erupted with a roar in the Tendou courtyard, accompanied by a terrifying figure that shouldn't have appeared in this world. The surrounding air seemed to be expelled by an invisible force, and even from several streets away, one could clearly see this eerie, sky-piercing blue.

Then, his slightly pale muscles bulged and swelled. The massive figure charged fiercely into the crowded group, braving the pouring rain of bullets.

End of the Century · Breakthrough!

Fools, all of them are fools who refuse to repent. Anyone who blocks the way, get out of the way, and those who don't want to get out of the way, then they can only die.

"Then let me use the Super Beidou Shenquan to send you all to heaven one by one!!"

With a speed difficult for the naked eye to capture, Jagi rampaged among the soldiers blocking his path, as if entering an empty land. He picked one up to use as a weapon, swinging them with terrifying, irresistible force, smashing them until their tendons snapped, bones broke, and tears and snot flowed everywhere.

"I am the one."

Seeming to find this efficiency too low, he supported himself on the ground with one hand and performed a two-and-a-half-turn spin. A foot-blade infused with the exquisite techniques of the Nan Dou Bai Lu Quan slashed lightly, directly cutting the throats of all the surrounding cannon fodder. Dozens of heads with wide, terrified eyes flew into the high sky, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

Super Beidou Circular Slashing Kick!

Followed by, Secret Technique—Super Beidou Hundred-Direction Slash!

According to a certain manga, if one can defeat all enemies from all four directions at once, then one will not lose to any number of opponents.

In other words, the Hundred-Direction Slash is a combo technique of a series of diagonal slashes from all four sides. The name is lame, but it is first-class effective for clearing out cannon fodder.

Fists shattered their bones and courage inch by inch, hand-blades severed their necks and lives, and the sound of flesh and blood collapsing rang out continuously, accompanied by crisp breaking sounds, as consciousness dissipated forever.

And there were even more... Jagi's hands held his thumbs up, and his index fingers pointed out rapidly like the needles of a sewing machine. Intense fighting spirit exploded within the tissues he struck.

Muscles, internal organs, bones, nerves... everything inside their bodies swelled up under this power that existed only to bring death, and then they turned into magnificent fireworks of flesh and blood.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Screams, wails, and sorrowful cries composed a symphony.

After everything calmed down, the only one left in front of him was Tendou Wakou, who had wanted to escape but had become incontinent due to his legs giving out.

"Haha, die!"

Jagi gave a sinister laugh and hammered the head of the terrified Tendou Wakou into his stomach with one punch.
