Chapter 815

In the command room, officials from various countries stared blankly at the divine figure floating in the sky, dressed in a magnificent gown, with long black hair dancing in the wind.

No one cared about the change in appearance or clothing; under such a vast aura that swept across heaven and earth and covered the firmament, these were merely trivial matters.

"Actually... actually so powerful?"

Katsuragi Misato's pupils shook violently, and she swallowed to moisten her dry throat; her voice was almost a moan.

Every cell in her body was screaming and going insane.

She desperately wanted to kneel and worship, to offer a salute for the birth of this new god.

No words were needed.

No action was needed; just by existing, one could so clearly feel what kind of being this was.

What Evangelion, what Apostle—compared to this, they were nothing but ants, nothing but mortals.

Even the Fourth Apostle, Sachiel, which was strong enough to reach the sky and make the world suffocate, seemed like nothing more than this.

And that was indeed the case.

"Having seen the future..."

A detached voice resounded in the sky.

Ikari Shinji—no, he who had transformed into the Magical Girl Miyu-chan—felt his own emotions fading away.

The world gradually blurred before him, shedding its surface light and shadow to reveal its true essence; countless pieces of information, containing the mysteries of the universe and the rules of all phenomena in heaven and earth, flooded down like a screen.

His consciousness was lifted by the crowd, lifted higher and higher, witnessing the world from the perspective of a sky and a sea, with the vision of a god.

The consciousness of a mere mortal was so insignificant in such a world; if not for the existence of the silver key in his hand, his self would have been instantly submerged in this endless mystery of the universe.

Becoming a new god, heartless and emotionless, operating according to the laws of the self.

No.

He was already a god now.

The majesty of a god naturally brooks no blasphemy.

"... Why do you not bow!"

It was like a decree, like a proclamation, and heaven and earth resonated with it.

All those observing at this moment had no resistance whatsoever; they all knelt to the ground, as if they were devout believers bowing and worshipping.

Even the Apostle, that arrogant Apostle which had obtained some kind of enhancement, widened its eyes in disbelief, standing there blankly and forgetting to pull the trigger.

Following that divine voice, which was like a decree.

It was as if the sky had pressed down; the tangible, terrifying pressure made Sachiel's body sink, and the ground around it collapsed layer by layer, instantly forming a huge crater amidst the spraying soil and rocks.

Letting out a scream like a crying infant, Sachiel's eye sockets cracked, and green blood seeped out.

It was resisting.

Resisting this pressure that felt like heaven and earth.

It was an Apostle of Adam, a descendant of Adam; it could never kneel to an outer god.

But...

Divine power cannot overcome the destiny of heaven.

At this moment, that beautiful being hanging high in the sky with long hair flowing was heaven, was earth, and was the destiny that could not be defied.

Even though it had walked out from the flesh and blood of Adam and was a blood descendant of a powerful life at the end of the divine realm.

Born with divinity, in terms of essence, it was by no means inferior to any demigod, and even the power it currently possessed—which was far stronger than a normal Apostle, having been stimulated by some mastermind—was by no means its limit.

But in the end, it was not a god.

A difference of a hair's breadth, a minute, or a second, was a chasm.

"Boom, boom...!"

The entire city was shaking, vibrating like a giant beast, and deep, unfathomable cracks spread from beneath Sachiel's feet to the horizon.

Its purple-red body expanded, as if its muscles were bursting with all its might, its skin stretched tight, and the brilliant golden diamond-shaped AT Field expanded crazily.

In an instant, it swept across half the city, swallowing everything, but in the next moment, it shrank abruptly under the pale golden eyes of the god in the sky.

In a flash, it retracted from covering half the city to the surface of Sachiel's body, and was even continuously compressed under the terrifying pressure; amidst the violent trembling of Sachiel's body, its waist was forced to bend bit by bit.

Sachiel sensed something and let out a hysterical roar.

"No!!!"

It was not a sound, but a kind of mental shock that instantly made people understand its will.

The next moment.

Bang!

Sachiel's massive body, nearly two hundred meters tall and with a density far exceeding metal, exploded with a bang under the reverse pressure of the AT Field.

Like a surging fountain of blood, it shot into the sky, and only after shooting up several thousand meters did the momentum gradually fade, scattering over the city.

Leaving behind only a final will of resistance.

Which made many humans who were its enemies feel a sense of melancholy.

Even from an opposing stance, this Apostle, which had developed intelligence and self-awareness, was indeed more human than many people, possessing a pride and persistence that could not be tarnished even in death.

But clearly.

Before reaching a certain level, persistence without power is nothing.

But what was even more terrifying was...

Everyone looked up, suffocated, at the Magical Girl who had descended into the human world and crushed the Apostle with just a single glance.

Magical Girl?

Magical God Girl would be more accurate, right?

In the distance.

Kitahara Iori and the live broadcast room were all silent.

Even though they had witnessed Imamura Kohei's transformation through the light curtain on the other side, it was separated by a world and was not nearly as clear as it was now.

Only until now, having truly seen such an incredible existence.

Did everyone understand what kind of concept the Magical Girl transformation scepter developed by Brother Luo Shu was.

Perhaps for him, it was just a meme for fun.

But for mortals like them, it was a treasure that truly stepped into the divine realm.

Even if the transformation might not last long, everything felt through the vision of a god alone could raise their future possibilities by n levels.

Suffocating.

At this moment, the billions of people who were originally laughing and watching Ikari Shinji's cross-dressing were all dumbfounded.

After a long while, a faint voice said.

"... If I regret it now, is it too late?"

Kitahara Iori clutched his chest and said with red eyes: "Compared to that kind of power, it seems a trip to Thailand is nothing."

People in the live broadcast room finally came to their senses and rolled their eyes: "Keep dreaming, check the shop yourself, the prices have all been restored."

That was a 0.01% discount before, which is why it only cost 100 points.

Now that it has returned to the original price, that's 100,000 points.

You would have to save at least three worlds to gather that much.

And they seriously suspected that this was still because the restrictive conditions were relatively harsh, and it was already a heavily discounted price.

Otherwise, it would be at least a million points or more; after all, Noble Phantasms usually cost several million points.

This is the real deal...

"... power of the divine realm."

Many people muttered.

After all, the so-called "comparable to a general Servant" is just... emm.

When it comes down to it, do general Servants exist?

So they thought it was at most demigod level, or at a stage between god and mortal.

As a result, it actually stepped directly into the divine realm level?

And it only cost 100,000?

The gold content of the points is simply incredible.

"By the way, why don't we just let Ikari Shinji... oh, no, Magical Girl Miyu-chan push through the world and find all the Apostles and finish them off."

"That makes sense, but do you think it's possible that Miyu-chan can't hear you right now?"
