Chapter 178

【Separated by an uncrossable, massive chasm—!!】

【The others were the same, their expressions turning pale, trembling uncontrollably. As the very top tier of mages in all of Japan, and even being at the forefront of the world, they felt despair for the first time.】

【"What is everyone doing?"】

【The Director scolded furiously, looking at the silent mages around him.】

【"If the plan fails, then use our bones and blood to stop the tyrant's rampage!"】

【Unlike what the big shots of the Yin-Yang Bureau had anticipated, that female monarch had never had them in her field of vision, nor had she noticed that massive formation. Her heart was boiling with killing intent, directed only at the Berserker.】

【The city?】

【Lives?】

【Mages?】

【They had never appeared in her eyes; in the eyes of the strong, there is never a seat for the weak.】

【The mere shockwaves from her fierce battle with Hercules cleared away the foundations of countless great arrays on the ground, like wooden stakes that could be easily destroyed.】

【Countless mages used reinforcement magecraft with all their concentration, yet they couldn't even see the movements of the two.】

【It was as ridiculous as mortals trying to capture the trajectory of a supersonic fighter jet.】

【Only those eight were barely close!】

【"No, the speed is too fast, we can't keep up at all!"】

【Nura Rikuo, one of the seven directors, roared in shame and anger.】

【Even after activating Ghost Entanglement and fusing with his shikigami, damn it, he still couldn't keep up.】

【"Damn it, for the first time, I feel like a fly going to annoy someone!"】

【The man in the trench coat cursed while carrying his giant sword, his hair falling out one strand after another.】

【I went bald, but I didn't get stronger!】

【"Everyone, unleash your magecraft together..." Isayama Yomi roared.】

【At the command.】

【In an instant, eight rays of light charged into the god-like battlefield.】

【Just then, Black Saber landed on the top of a building, standing still, looking down calmly at Hercules who was about to charge recklessly.】

【The man carrying the giant sword charged forward first, applying reinforcement magecraft, expanding into a giant ten stories tall, roaring as he swung the giant sword on his shoulder down with all his might, splitting the layers of the sky!】

【"It's you, isn't it, hero of old, the natural disaster of today? Then let's see you and this Heroic Spirit of the present..."】

People in reality were fired up.

It's not just Heroic Spirits who are the strong ones.

Humanity's...

Ah.

This...

【As if bored to death, that tyrannical pitch-black monarch waved her hand casually.】

【"Rumble...!"】

【It wasn't a light cannon, nor was it a release of magical energy.】

【It was merely the wind pressure induced by her immense strength.】

【The upper body of one of the seven directors, who had expanded into a giant and roared as he charged, was directly melted away.】

【An indescribable shock filled the hearts of the other seven directors.】

【Without a moment's hesitation, the seven directors, who were burning their lives, bleeding from their noses and mouths, and gritting their teeth to hold on, all unleashed their trump card skills. Black Saber didn't care, raising her light cannon, nearly shaking them into a mist of blood.】

【Boom!】

【The pillar of light, which reached the heavens and pierced the earth, paid no mind to the ants it swept over, instead crashing directly into the hulking giant that was in pursuit, shearing through row after row of towering buildings as if they were nothing.】

What the hell?!

The Yin-Yang Bureau was stunned, and the Japanese audience who were bragging in reality were dumbfounded.

People were bewildered; the gap was too large.

"So, how exactly did Brother Luo Shu fight Heroic Spirits?!"

"Yukino is one thing, she had her future self pass on power, but damn it, Brother Luo Shu, are you cheating?!"

"It's too absurd; an entire ancient magical institution with a long heritage can't compare to the head of a single magical family in Fuyuki City. Is this what a monster is?"

"Maybe Black Saber is just too strong; the gap between her and ordinary Heroic Spirits is too big."

"Sigh, this scene is so tragic and heroic."

"I thought they could at least hinder Saber and Uncle Berserker, or make them get injured."

"Unfortunately, the difference between man and god is absolute; no matter how much mortals do, it's all in vain."

In the picture.

【Under the transfer magecraft that had exhausted half the national treasury, the seven directors revived in a daze.】

【How could the gap be so large?】

【After burning their lives, even people from the Burial Agency should be able to face them head-on, right!】

【Didn't you Burial Agency people say you could face Heroic Spirits head-on?】

【In the distance, the people from the Holy Church silently lowered their hat brims.】

【Ahem, do you understand what the art of language is...】

【We are a religious organization; we can't exactly say we aren't capable, right?】

【"Transfer..."】

【Someone said with a dry voice.】

【The gap between enemy and us is too large, too despairing.】

【Let alone defeating them, there was never any possibility of interference.】

【Going there would just be throwing their lives away for nothing.】

【"Transfer? How many people can we transfer now? One hundred thousand? Ten thousand? Or eight thousand?"】

【"It's nearly forty million people... how can we transfer them? Oh, wait, maybe it's only thirty million now."】

【How long has it been?】

【Someone screamed at the top of their lungs, covering their face and squatting down, sobbing silently.】

【"But it's completely meaningless; we've already tried our best, four hundred years of accumulation have been thrown into this. Facing Heroic Spirits, we are too insignificant."】

【"Go, mobilize everyone, save as many as we can."】

【The Director's eyes were red as he watched meteors dragging long tails of fire outside the sky, scattering over the city and shattering one building after another.】

【This scene, like a mythological epic, was the aftermath of that Hercules tearing the earth and throwing the ground up to smash people, only for it to be shattered.】

【But it was only the aftermath; to the ordinary people in the city, it was an extinction-level natural disaster.】

【How many people die every moment?】

【Ten thousand?】

【Or one hundred thousand?】

【Suddenly.】

【A tall figure casually stuffed a handful of gems for replenishing magical energy into his mouth and chewed them up.】

【"Are you done? Then I can go now, right?"】

【Without even looking at these companions whose spirits had been crushed, Kyogoku Makoto strode toward the outside of the hall.】

【"It's meaningless."】

【Someone glanced at him, their voice hoarse.】

【"The gap is too large."】

【"That is a god, that is a storm ravaging the earth, a hegemon walking on the ground."】

【"~Maybe so."】

【Kyogoku Makoto stopped, revealing a bright smile.】

【"But I am just a martial artist; all I have is the courage to throw a punch at the peak."】

【Looking at the sky, Kyogoku Makoto remembered once upon a time.】

【Wasn't his master also as powerful as a god to him?】

【What he practiced was called Baji Quan.】 ===== CHAPTER 179 =====
