Chapter 481 The Correct Way to Use Ryuko Matoi and the Scissors

Clang——

The crimson single blade of scissors dragged on the ground, making a harsh scraping sound.

"Hey! I'm talking to you guys..."

Starlight, like flowing water, shimmered on the blade. The cold ground was smoothly split open by the sharp blade, and an unhealable, massive crack cut the battlefield in two, continuing to grow and expand like an insurmountable chasm.

A streak of crimson, like fresh blood, fluttered high amidst the surging, powerful aura. The black sailor uniform with monstrous eyes covered only half of the fair skin, revealing the newcomer's identity like a flag.

The scissors were held steadily at an angle, pointing towards the sky. Wild, unkempt black hair fluttered across her forehead, revealing the girl's distinctive features and... a beast-like, bloodthirsty gaze!

The resounding announcement pierced the air and reached the ears of everyone in the audience.

"Say my name!!!"

The moment his gaze met the girl's, the tense atmosphere instantly calmed down.

On one side were the Flame Haze warriors, known as the "Tools of Extermination." They looked at each other in bewilderment, remaining silent and bewildered as to how things had escalated to this point.

On the other side is the Masquerade Ball, an organization of Crimson World members who have gathered together according to a certain will.

At the forefront of them was a pillar-like spear called "Divine Iron Ruyi," and behind it, a fierce general—the Crimson World Demon King "Thousand Transformations" Xiudenan, who held the spear and led hundreds of Crimson World soldiers.

The fierce battle left him with countless lacerations and he lost an entire arm. His deeply sculpted face still bore an expression of astonishment.

The figure, which was not particularly tall, seemed to grow a million times larger at this moment. Its powerful and violent aura stood like a mountain in the center of the battlefield, looking down on both sides from above. Its oppressive gaze made people want to retreat.

These tyrannical beings who run rampant in the mortal world seem utterly insignificant in her presence.

"She's...she's just a human being, so why...?!"

It is unclear who it was, but they voiced the sentiments of everyone present.

At this moment, the surroundings were filled with clear yet mysterious crimson flames. This was a unique technique called "Sealing," a special battlefield that blocked cause and effect. Through the power of existence, the external space could not observe Sealing and its internal space.

In this space, all life forms, whether birds or fish, or natural elements such as flowing water or strong winds, will experience a phenomenon of time stopping. After the "Sealing" technique is used, it is absolutely impossible for humans to resist the existence of the Crimson World.

Even the Flame Haze, who were once human, believed this—humans were devoured by Angels from another world and then died. What's even more tragic is that the humans who were the victims, due to natural and man-made limitations, were completely unaware of the existence of the Angels, and didn't even know they were being harmed.

Then, how could this girl, who single-handedly tried to stop thousands of non-humans from waging war against superhumans, possibly be a fragile human?
This is an "abnormal" existence.

They all realized this without prior agreement, and what led to all of this was another girl…

"Flame-haired, Burning-eyed Slayer! Why did you do this! Wasn't she your ally!?"

The great one appeared in the ranks of the Crimson Mist Warriors.

That was a kind old lady in a purple nun's robe and a white headscarf—Zoffy Sabresh, the Witness of the Mighty!
She is now the commander-in-chief of the "Fire Mist Warriors Corps," an experienced warrior nicknamed "Flame-Headed Captain (x) Bold Mom (√)," but her calm demeanor is gone, her eyes are filled with disbelief, and powerful purple lightning crackles around her.

Before becoming a Flame Haze, this woman was a nun. She has been a Flame Haze for over 500 years. Her contracted Crimson Lord is Takemikazuchi, the "Lightning Blade". She participated in the "Funeral Bell" campaign and served as the commander-in-chief of the "Sebalish Group" that marched from north to south. During the campaign, she personally defeated Ulricum, one of the Nine Scales, known as "Rock Armor".

Regardless of seniority or strength, he is undoubtedly one of the strongest Flame Haze fighters.

She even met Shana, the "Inflamed Burning Eyes," and took care of her for a period of time, during which she taught her the most basic social common sense.

Therefore, she is even more confused as to why Shana's helper is trying to stop them, especially since that guy is not only ridiculously strong, but also has a completely unknown background.

How am I supposed to call her by her name?!
Moreover, Shana is the contractor of the God of Heavenly Punishment... The Crimson God, who possesses the dignity of being an existence that maintains the order of the world, is originally a god who is meant to punish those who disturb the world. Why would she want to stop the outbreak of war now?

Did he betray his own camp and ideals?
This is clearly impossible!

Anyone could, but the God of Heavenly Punishment could not!

"..."

Not far behind Ryuko, a petite girl in a black trench coat blushed slightly and turned her head away, unable to face what was happening.

Shana's expression when confronted wasn't because she was speechless, but because she was overwhelmed with shame at her friend Ryuko's completely unrestrained behavior.

Why learn from that guy of all people?

Of course, the current situation doesn't need her explanation at all; it's different from what she knew—

This time, it wasn't because the masquerade led troops to destroy the "Kubelik Symphony" headquarters and other locations, and was preparing to launch a full-scale attack on both the eastern and western fronts, that the Flame Haze gathered their forces to counterattack.

On the contrary, this time it was the Flame Haze who took the initiative to mobilize their forces, sending all their available manpower to Misaki City to form an army, ready to fight the masquerade party to the death.

The reason... is precisely because Sakai Yuuji, the agent of the "Snake of the Ritual," ordered the three pillars to stop dealing with worldly affairs and to try to get the Crimson Denizens back to their headquarters, the Starry Palace, so that they would no longer entangle with the Flame Haze.

From all over the world, with a single point as the target—

"Come to Misaki City."

Thus, countless Crimson World beings moved towards this place, using their legs, their wings, and every other means imaginable.

But precisely because of this, the Flame Haze, sensing something was amiss, gathered in this vortex of struggle, seemingly guided by fate…

Don't let them get away!

"We can't let them get away!"

"Absolutely unforgivable, absolutely!"

"I want revenge! I'll kill you all!"

The Flame Haze warriors, who were chasing the "Apostles," arrived filled with hatred and burning with vengeance, determined to exterminate them all.

The Crimson Denizens are the same; they have gathered their strength and are also eyeing the Flame Haze warriors covetously. The grudges and feuds between the two sides are far too complex to be explained in a few words.

"annihilate them all!"

"Eat them all up!"

With this thought in mind, and encouraged by the contractors of the God of Punishment, who urged them to "seize this opportunity and seize victory," and commanded by the creators of the God's human form to "taste it and then know everything," the two sides quickly, swiftly, and decisively prepared for their first direct confrontation...

But on the battlefield, two girls who had drawn their katanas stood side by side opposite all the Crimson Denizens and Flame Haze.

"Bang!"

A sound like flames burning rang out as two girls with different temperaments discussed something in front of the army, seemingly oblivious to everyone else.

"As expected, a little provocation and they've all come..."

"This is more than just a little bit, isn't it?"

"Let's put aside the unimportant things. Next—all we need to do is beat them all up!"

"That's right..."

Upon hearing this, everyone would realize that the so-called great battle was actually deliberately arranged, and that the traitors were actually the core members of their own faction!
God of Divine Punishment—Alastor!

Creator God—The Serpent of Sacrifice!
These two are completely opposite Crimson World Demon Gods, have they actually joined forces behind the scenes? Could it be that they're trying to reconcile them? At this moment, are they joking? The grudges and feuds between the two sides are far too complex to be explained in a few words.

"This is the right thing to do."

This is what the God of Heavenly Punishment said.

Only by demonstrating the stark and overwhelming difference in strength between the two sides, and by having an unparalleled powerhouse completely suppress the Crimson World and the Fire Mist, can the plan proceed smoothly.

As "Thousand Changes" Shudenan and "Flame-Headed Captain" Zoffy tried to stop their subordinates and find out what had happened, some Apostles and Flame Haze warriors couldn't hold back any longer and launched an attack on them.

The Flame Haze warriors seeking revenge and the Crimson Denizens yielding to their desires have lost their reason and don't care who stands before them.

"Can I cut it?"

Ryuko looked at Shana, while the girl glanced around. Thousands upon thousands of flames and magical artifacts of various colors surged toward the two of them, and all sorts of Noble Phantasms, lightning, and storms were about to engulf them...

It can be found in the sky, on the ground, and even underground!

If she were alone, she would have been powerless to handle such a situation, but fortunately, she had brought along a super katana-wielding hero—

So Shana nodded slightly.

"Then I-"

With a jumping power completely disproportionate to her size, Ryuko Matoi leaped high into the air. The ground beneath her feet trembled violently, and shockwaves radiated outwards from her. But it was less the ground that was shaking and more the entire seal itself that was trembling.

"It's time to really go all out!"

Countless flames were decisively shattered by the girl who leaped up like an unstoppable chariot. A torrential rain of flames fell around her. As she reached her highest point, Ryuko Matoi threw her head back, laughing wildly as she swung her weapon.

—Too much scissors, chop mode!!!
Ordinary scissors instantly expanded and grew to ten meters in length with her will. This exaggerated super weapon drew a beautiful arc under Ryuko Matoi's incredibly strong arm strength.

ripple.

In this still, sealed world, a huge crimson flash of light silently streaked across the sky, causing ripples in the space itself.

The world as seen by everyone has been divided horizontally.

The space cleaved by the blade was equally split open, and the dense attacks shattered the moment they touched the blade's light. The Crimson Denizens and Flame Haze Warriors, unable to react in time, could only let out mournful cries at the last moment.

The tearing was a terrifying slash that spanned hundreds or thousands of meters without any diminishing power. As clean as moonlight, it pierced through everything that stood in Ryuko's way. Then, the shockwave spread endlessly until it split the building at the horizon in two, before crashing into the outermost wall of this sealed area and disappearing.

An unimaginable aura and imagery erupted forth, hotter than the flames of the Crimson Lord and freer than the Flame Haze's Freedom Technique!

This is undisguised, absolute violence that far surpasses that of everyone present!
Cosmic life form, dimensional fusionist, super katana master!
—Ryuko Matoi, descend!
"Remember this for me!"

The girl wielding the katana landed lightly on the ground, a subtle smile playing on her lips. She took a deep breath and then shouted in a voice that resounded through the heavens:
"I am the 'Emperor Slayer'—Entangled Flow! Son!"

A line of cool red special effects characters suddenly appeared in the sealed area, hanging behind Ryuko, while Shana covered her face in pain. How could she have brought this along too!
In order to gain power, one must abandon shame... This was already documented in Kill la Kill!
"I didn't tell you to give up like this!"

"What does it matter?"

With a grin, Tsumugi replied that as soon as she heard that everyone in this world, whether good or bad, a peerless expert or a scoundrel, had to give themselves a resounding and imposing title to put before their name, she and Senko started thinking about it.

Her reputation must surpass everyone else in terms of fashion sense!

Otherwise, how could her invincibility as Ryuko Matoi be demonstrated?

The world fell silent. The clamor of killing intent and the chaotic scene subsided in an instant. The members of Crimson World and Fire Mist froze like statues, unable to move.

But there was no damage to their bodies whatsoever, as if the terrifying flash of the blade was just an illusion…

With a whoosh! Xiu Denan's expression changed drastically, and hundreds of wounds suddenly appeared all over his body. Every single one of them was exactly the same in size, shape, length, and even depth. The arm that had just raised his "Ruyi Divine Iron" was directly separated from his body!
Not an illusion!

So why didn't the others besides "Thousand Changes" suffer the fate of being cut in two? You have to understand, "Thousand Changes" was the strongest person there. Even he was so badly injured, how could they possibly have survived?
The second reason for bringing Ryuko Matoi here is this.
"It's a loss of wartime strength!"

War commissars lost! Fried meat patties! And then war commissars lost!

"Pong!"

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Not all Flame Haze warriors and Crimson Denizens wear Noble Phantasms like the "Night Hat." Fragments of clothing and flames fluttered around them like butterflies in the sky! Within the sealed realm, everyone except "Thousand Changes" covered their exposed bodies with expressions of terror.

"Thousand Changes" was too powerful, and could barely struggle, only suffering some injuries. Those who were not strong enough could not do anything at all, and could only instantly turn naked in front of enemies, opponents, friends, and partners!

A chorus of wails and screams filled the air, rising and falling incessantly!

Indeed, after suffering such terrifying psychological damage, neither side would be able to wage war again for a while, and they wouldn't even dare to appear before the other! They would quietly await the creation of the "Boundless Realm"!
To achieve this result, this method would be used so that not a single life would have to be sacrificed!

“Absolutely perfect!”

Upon seeing her masterpiece, Ryuko wanted to give Shana a high five to celebrate, but missed.

However, before she could find Shana who had fled in panic, her gaze suddenly sharpened, focusing on the void in front of her.
