Chapter 498

Struggling out of hell, completing the impossible puzzle, he finally became a "Perfect Human," possessing the qualifications to become a god.

As a result, the new world...

He was almost ninety years old; an old man really couldn't handle this kind of blow.

"No, the knights belonging to that so-called Eternal King are too strong. Maybe they've already dealt with Arima Kisho and are coming after me. I must replenish my consumption, otherwise, I'll completely lose control at any moment."

Kiku-no-jo Tendou muttered.

Ascending to heaven in one step to obtain the power of an evil god certainly wasn't without a price.

Aside from the torture of hell, every use would cause him to lose his spirituality; once he reached the critical point, he would completely lose control, his consciousness would dissipate, and he would turn into a monster.

So he needed to replenish his consumption.

Naturally, there was only one way.

That was to eat people like a monster, absorbing human spirituality to maintain himself.

"In this city, surely not everyone is that strong, right?"

Under the cover of night.

The surroundings were terrifyingly quiet.

He looked up, and on the wide and bustling street, a group of classical buildings occupied a huge area.

It looked like a dojo, and he felt a very powerful life aura within it; it should be the master of this dojo.

A kendo master, or an aikido master or something.

Coincidentally, he was also a kendo master.

Bang!!!

The heavy gate of the dojo exploded, turning into countless bullet-like debris that riddled everything around it with holes.

"Consider yourself unlucky. Even though everyone else ran away, you actually dared to stay behind."

In the smoke and dust.

Kiku-no-jo Tendou walked in slowly, looking greedily at the man sitting cross-legged under a painting of the character "Quiet."

He felt it.

This was prey that could even help him go a step further.

As a sign of respect for such a rare food, he spoke like a kind old man: "What is your name? I will remember your name."

"Yujiro Hanma!"

The figure stood up, seemingly infinitely tall, like a giant; on his ferocious muscles, he seemed to see the universe and starry sky.

A bad feeling arose.

"Sorry, to disturb you."

Kiku-no-jo Tendou retreated as expected, but...

"The purity is too low!!!"

In a terrifying roar, the building complex collapsed.

Elizabeth District.

"Big brother, will you give me your arm?"

Hinami Fueguchi opened her fair arms—not a pair, but countless arms stacked layer upon layer—looking at the building in front of her, dancing like a tide.

As the youngest girl among the forty-six, the originally kind-hearted her had become even more twisted and morbid.

She had completely become another person.

This system of borrowed power was naturally crazier and stronger; among the "Perfect Humans," she surpassed the crowd and was enough to rank in the top five.

Now she treated the city as an amusement park, treating the mages she encountered as toys.

"Oh my god, is this boss fourth-rank?"

"Kirito, think of a way, there are too few of us, the three of us can't cast high-power magecraft at all. If we had known, we would have stayed with Klein and the others; with over a hundred C-ranks, we could have resisted a fourth-rank."

"Stop talking, I've called for support. Sigh, this wave will probably have to work for the Master Mutual Aid Society until we die."

The few young mages overhead were all panicked, but fortunately, their eyes lit up as they saw the frost flying in from the horizon.

"Given up?"

Hinami Fueguchi's eyes turned sharp.

"Then die."

Layers of arms spread from the bottom of the building, gradually swallowing the entire building. Just as she was about to completely swallow the building,

Hinami Fueguchi's expression changed, and she suddenly turned back.

At some point, the pale arms that covered the earth like a tidal wave were covered in a layer of frost, and countless freezing air that seemed like the most biting ice and snow spread, sweeping across the white earth.

Layers of arms froze, stiffened, and finally shattered into ice dust filling the sky.

"I can hear your crying soul."

Yukino Yukinoshita's dignified figure slowly descended, looking at the girl with sadness.

"Crying?"

Hinami Fueguchi tilted her head: "Is big sister telling a joke?"

Yukino Yukinoshita didn't answer, just sighed, gently raised her hand, and countless pure white snowflakes swirled and rose around her.

"Let me help you find release."

"Decided..."

Hinami Fueguchi licked her lips, "I don't want big sister's hands anymore, I only want big sister's beautiful... face!"

Suddenly.

Countless pale arms stretched out, rising from behind her to form a surging torrent that rushed over like a raging sea.

Almost at the same time,

Within a radius of several kilometers, Primordial Runes lit up on building after building, and the ice and snow filling the sky suddenly expanded, carrying an aura that froze everything.

Almost instantly, the torrent turned into a world of ice and snow, and countless snowflakes swirled around the girl in front of her, spinning faster and faster, colder and colder.

Finally...

In a world of ice and snow, Yukino Yukinoshita looked at the girl frozen in the ice crystal that was slowly rotating in the sky like a celestial body.

"The moment a mage is prepared, the battle is already over."

With national-level resources supporting the magecraft array, even a fourth-rank is just a slightly larger ant.

Confirming that the girl had completely shut down, Yukino Yukinoshita looked to the east.

"The invaders should all be dealt with, right?"

"Must leave this city immediately."

The noisy voices of the internet-addicted teenagers gradually faded away, and Kagetane Hiruko fled for his life with a face as black as charcoal, springing between high-rise buildings like an octopus.

After a few minutes, when he sensed the connection to his lower body break, his heart was filled with confusion.

They shouldn't have run to this world.

If he had the life to gather again, he would damn well skin that dead fatty Hiramura alive.

What kind of damn technology world is this.

He even suspected that the Lullaby, that is, the evil god's offspring, might even flip over.

Damn, why is the terrain of this broken city so strange? Looking at the west, it's a crater formed by an asteroid impact, and it's so high it damn well looks like a sky wall.

And it's very fresh, as if it fell not long ago.

He quickly dismissed this absurd conjecture; with this scale of celestial impact, this country couldn't exist.

In short, he wouldn't go over there.

Intuition told him that place was more terrifying than anything...

Then the south?

The alarm bell of intuition rang even louder; it wasn't this exaggerated even when he was in close contact with the residual aura of an evil god.

Kagetane Hiruko landed on the street, numb.

Are they crazy?

With so many terrifying threats, how did the people of this world survive?

Suddenly.

A smiling voice rang out.
