Chapter 34

【"BOOM—!!"】

【Accompanied by the shockwave of air being compressed and displaced, the entire magnificent Einzbern castle slowly collapsed.】

【In the ruins, amidst countless broken walls, the beautiful corpse, severed in two, lay in a pool of blood.】

【The man watched everything happen calmly.】

At this moment, the whole world was deathly silent.

Every country.

Every nation.

Countless people were stunned, staring blankly at the bloody and brutal sky-curtain.

Chiba City, Super-Disaster Countermeasures Bureau.

"Deciding someone's life just by flipping a coin..."

"What does he take life for!!"

Jianshan Quan was furious, indignantly drawing her divine sword, Lion King, and slashing toward the sky-curtain.

——Clang!

A stunning blade aura, like a red lotus, slashed toward the sky, flying straight toward the sky-curtain.

Without follow-up spiritual power, it quickly dissipated into nothingness.

It also allowed her to vent her anger slightly.

Hoori Town, Shrine.

The divine sword stuck in the stone platform hummed, and the green-haired loli ghost flew out from the Murasame, stomping her feet in annoyance.

"For a Berserker to fall into the hands of such a person, it is truly casting pearls before swine, aiding a tyrant in his evil!"

Tokyo, the "Master of All Monsters," Nura Rihan frowned.

"Truly a naturally evil little mage brat."

"It's a pity we were born in different worlds, otherwise I would definitely have..."

Under the indignant condemnation of the people.

The sky-curtain slowly shifted the camera, revealing the true face of the brutal Purge King.

【"Berserker is still the most useful..."】

【At the edge of the pool of blood, the man said faintly, dressed in pitch-black clothes.】

【He had messy, unkempt hair, dark circles under his eyes as if he hadn't slept in years, his left eyelid drooping while his right eye was deeply and widely open; his two eyes were mismatched, hollow and devoid of light.】

【He gave off a very tired feeling, his whole body lingering with a faint sense of despair.】

【Not far away, two pink-and-blue-clad homunculus maids stood chest-to-chest, holding hands, and exclaimed.】

【"Rem, Rem, Subaru-sama is playing with Berserker again, how pitiful."】

【"Onee-sama, Onee-sama, Subaru-sama has started bullying Berserker again, how inhumane."】

【The tone was perfectly synchronized, like a newly manufactured pink-and-blue radio.】

【The Purge King was silent, glancing at the two of them faintly.】

【In an instant.】

【The two cute maids became nervous, holding hands and shrinking back into the corner.】

【"Scary, I feel like I'm going to have my head cut off by Subaru-sama, Rem."】

【"Terrifying, I feel like I'm going to be cut in half by Subaru-sama, Onee-sama."】

【Although they were homunculi of the Einzbern family, they seemed no different from cute middle school students.】

【Youthful and lively people, inevitably a bit noisy.】

【Until he calmly placed a finger on his lips and blew a breath.】

【"Shh~"】

【Instantly, the entire ruins of the Einzbern castle became deathly silent.】

【Even the birds passing by in the sky dared not make a sound.】

【——This was the prestige of the 'Purge King'.】

【He was the current head of the Einzbern family, holding a well-trained army of homunculi, invincible in attack and battle, having dealt a devastating blow to the four major financial groups in Japan.】

【He killed purely out of interest, and one hundred twenty-seven thousand six hundred and two people had already died at his hands.】

【He was notorious, a well-deserved 'Tyrant of the Magecraft World'!】

【His name was —— Natsuki Subaru.】

"I'm a tyrant...?! "

In the sky-curtain world, a shut-in otaku was directly shocked.

Under what circumstances would his parallel-world self become such a ruthless character!

Holding a transcendent army, destroying financial groups with a flick of a finger, a super-vicious criminal who had killed over one hundred thousand people...

Did your parents die or something?

Others get ten times stronger when corrupted, you get ten thousand times stronger?

32. The deeply sinful Yano, 4A panel shocks the world, the Hercules of great strength!

The atmosphere of the sky-curtain was filled with faint sadness, and the oppressive orchestral music rose and fell.

It was as if one could hear the cuckoo weeping blood, turning into an indelible, thick sorrow.

This was a wandering loneliness; the heart had gone cold, and no one knew.

【"Ten years, and you still haven't returned."】

【The Purge King whispered, taking out the photo he carried with him from his pocket, sneering with mockery.】

【Then he carefully placed it in his bosom.】

【The photo showed Yano in her girlhood, her hand resting on a small child's head.】

【At that time, he was nine years old, possessing a special magic constitution that could amplify Heroic Spirits and magecraft, and thus was taken in by the Einzbern family to... perform inhumane experiments.】

【Under the torture of the Einzbern, he gradually became indifferent and numb.】

【Suddenly one day, a woman came to the Einzbern family.】

【In the castle filled with ice and snow all year round...】

【A ray of precious sunlight shone in.】

【That was a mysterious woman, pursuing justice, dashing, and smiling.】

【Later he learned that the person's name was Yukinoshita Yano, one of the participants in the Fourth Holy Grail War.】

【Originally, Yano said she would save him, very seriously, but in the end, there was no news... He was always being experimented on.】

【He occasionally wondered if Yano had already died in the Fourth Holy Grail War, or if there was some unspeakable hardship, so she couldn't come back.】

【He was in the cold castle, day after day, lying by the window looking out, hoping... that one day he could wait for that woman to return to the Einzbern.】

【It didn't matter if his face was frozen stiff.】

【It didn't matter if his hands were frostbitten.】

【Even if he had a cold or fever, he would definitely go.】

【Until he participated in the Einzbern's surgery, 70% of his body was implanted with magic circuits, and the corpses of children like him piled up like mountains, everyone died... but he was still alive.】

【Later, Subaru no longer needed Yano to save him; he alone backlashed against the entire Einzbern family.】

【No one could point fingers at him anymore, and no one could be high and mighty.】

【The 'Purge King' was the ruler of the Einzbern, and even hundreds of thousands of subordinates.】

【Later, he learned.】

【Although Yano died, she had lived with another child for five years before she died.】

【... In the eyes of that traitor, perhaps he was just an expendable existence.】

【That vow under the snow had long since become empty; promises, once broken, were cheaper than yellowed rice paper.】

【He deeply understood that the human world was hell, with endless betrayal and endless hatred.】

【The instinct for survival drove everyone to kill, scheme, and calculate; vows could not enter the human heart, feelings could not withstand the passage of time, and obsession could not surpass a person's delusion; in the end... everything became empty.】

【He walked staggeringly, the world in his eyes gradually fading in color, turning into a monotonous black and white.】

【All living beings were despicable deceivers; there was nothing worth trusting.】

All living beings were silent.

All people in the world were in a sea of suffering; feelings were like snow, hatred was like a knife, and beautiful memories would not fade with the passage of time, but instead fermented in the passing, becoming a deep, indescribable dream branded in the heart. ===== CHAPTER 35 =====
