Chapter 2289: Aikawa Ayumu: Turns Out I

Aikawa Ayumu: "...... Wait! Wait a minute! What did you just say?"

Lelouch: "...... The void above us has no stars at all, because the attack just launched by the guild master shattered every single star."

Does that sentence... have a problem?"

Lelouch was baffled; where had he gone wrong? Aikawa Ayumu: "...... I'm fine now! Keep going."

Aikawa Ayumu swallowed hard, his expression dazed as he began questioning his entire life.

Previously, when he saw the livestream from Lelouch's side, where a huge tear had ripped open the sky, he had assumed it was a phenomenon unique to Lelouch's world.

After all, different worlds might have different worldviews—this was perfectly reasonable.

But now... Lelouch told him the reason the sky was now completely blank, void of anything... was because that entire starry expanse had been obliterated in a single strike by Su Han. This fucking... newbie Aikawa Ayumu trembled in fear.

He declared that he had dragged down the guild's prestige.

Someone as weak as him probably didn't belong in a guild this insanely powerful.

Gudako: "...... Um...! Newcomers don't need to be this depressed."

Gudako: "The guild master became this strong... through gradual, steady training, one step at a time!"

Gudako: "At first, the guild master was probably just an ordinary human, right?"

Aikawa Ayumu: "...... Is that really true?"

Wudao Dong Xiang: "...... I don't want to discourage you, but coming from Gudako—who can tear apart demon god pillars—that statement is a bit inappropriate. Warning: tearing apart Solomon."

"

Dr. Roman: "......"

Gudako: "Hey hey hey! When did I ever do something like that? I'm just a regular Chaldea Master!"

Ainz Ooal Gown: "I know! You're just an ordinary Color-tier magician, right?"

"At this moment, a certain Wei Bo was cowering in the corner, trembling."

Tony Isn't the Richest: "If Color-tier magician is what you get after saving the world as a Position-tier magician, then what am I?"

"

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "Position-tier magician is garbage."

If you don't believe it, let the so-called Position-tier face me in one-on-one combat."

Manual emoji.

"

Wei Bo: "Actually, I really wanted to say—the Zhong Ta hierarchy isn't strictly about combat power... but after thinking about it, I doubt you'd accept my explanation, so I'll just stay silent."

Miss Xia Shizi: "I believe you—Wei Bo just doesn't want to say it, not because he thinks he can't beat us."

Wei Bo: "......"

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "Oh, Ba Wu! You're so blunt—you've totally embarrassed our Teacher Wei Bo."

Aikawa Ayumu: "......"

What the hell is this term "demon god pillar"? And what's this "Position-tier magician"? After pondering for a moment, Aikawa Ayumu quietly exited the guild chat group.

In this guild, everyone's a boss... except him, a pathetic newbie.

Sorry... for interrupting, goodbye.

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "By the way... the Demon Lord truly rose from an ordinary person, step by step, to where he is now."

The truth is... exactly like that. It seems perfectly reasonable."

Bai Hu Zi: "Guraguragura! Though I've watched the guild master since the beginning—strong even then, but still visible as a silhouette—now he's grown so powerful even his shadow is gone."

But looking back, I'm still stunned by how fast his power has grown."

Tony Isn't the Richest: "I used to think Clark, Sun Wukong, Yu Qiyu, and Qi Mu Nanxiong were all players with cheats."

But later I realized... the guild master appears to have no cheat at all—yet in reality, his cheating is even more brutal than the combined cheating of those four."

Clark Kent: "True."

Qi Mu Nanxiong: "You said a lot, so you're right."

"......"

Feeling the topic had drifted too far, he thought for a moment and pulled it back.

"Lelouch."

"You mean the guild master eliminated an opponent right from the start?"

Lelouch: "Hmm... wait, no!"

Lelouch's pupils shrank sharply.

In this moment, he realized it too.

Could a powerhouse capable of unleashing ten times the energy of a universe-scale explosion possibly die so easily? But if the Six-Six Qishi Beast hadn't died... then where is it now?

Miss Xia Shizi: "Su Xiao Xiao. Demon Lord, be careful—the guy you just blasted away might be sneaking up on you."

Wugeng Liuli also understood, her face instantly tightening with tension.

Su Xiao Xiao: "...... I feel like you all misunderstand my combat wisdom. Besides, at my level of Kenbunshoku, even if someone tried to ambush me, they couldn't succeed."

Su Han glanced at the guild chat content, a look of helplessness crossing his face.

In the next instant, spacetime twisted, and terrifying light erupted violently from the warped dimensions.

It was an attack of ten times the power of a universe-scale explosion.

The terrifying attack pierced through Su Han's chest; Heran's face lit up with delight and cruelty—then froze.

The blazing light passed clean through Su Han's body, even through his hand.

Su Han's body had no solidity whatsoever.
