Chapter 506 The Stars in the Sky are the Enemy
"——!!!——"

The aliens roared silently in the sky, and huge energy waves surged out, turning into layers of roaring waves that swept away everything in sight, deafeningly loud.

"Shut up!" x4
in unison.

In an instant, the roar of the attack resounded through the sky. Compared to the size of Vertex, the human body was so small, less than one-thousandth or one-ten-thousandth of its size, but the four figures crushed back with an even more terrifying aura.

A complete and utter crushing defeat!

Boom boom boom——!!

With a deafening roar, the earth covered by tree roots erupted in a cloud of dust. All the Vertexes except for Leo were sent flying like meteors in the blink of an eye by the explosive punch. Their solid inorganic shells shattered, revealing their respective heart parts—"Mitama".

As majestic as a mountain, as boundless as the sea, the fists they unleash surpass all weapons in the world. Their furious iron fists can shatter everything, and even the constellations cannot withstand them.

The girls were so shocked they couldn't speak.

But will things end so simply?
Furthermore, where exactly does their anger come from?

️

Before all this, the following conversation took place—

Who is the enemy we are dealing with?

"opponent."

"What to do now?"

After the two members of the Southern Dipper were sent to fight a war between wasteland punk and cyberpunk, the remaining three brothers of the Northern Dipper all focused their attention on Jagi, their eyes filled with a sense of inquiry.

What kind of formidable and powerful opponents could have forced the fearless Jagi to so urgently seek their help?

I was both curious and excited.

"Hey…"

Methyl suddenly chuckled, and amidst the bewildered gazes of the crowd, slowly said:
"...You all remember what Master Ryuken said, right?...Hokuto Shinken is the ultimate assassination technique, a style of martial arts capable of challenging even 'gods'...Ha, this time we'll finally test its truth..."

--god.

Simply put, this time the opponent is the "God of Heaven".

"what on earth is it?"

️

Specifically, this is a world on the verge of destruction.

It is divided into three major camps: the gods, the earth gods, and humans. Among them, the gods were angered because the humans wanted to seize the power of the gods.

The gods wanted to destroy humanity, but the earth gods, in order to protect humanity, merged together and transformed into a divine tree...

It all started with the disaster that happened in 2015—though it wasn't just a simple disaster, there's no better word to describe it—after all, nobody believed such a thing could happen. But it did.

Vertex (Batik).

Monsters, so called, suddenly descended from the sky, taking many lives and causing human civilization to crumble. At this time, some girls began to develop special powers.

The power to counter Vertex—a girl who is found to possess this power is called a "hero".

The power to hear divine pronouncements and use them to guide heroes and the people—girls found to possess this power are called "shrine maidens."

The young heroines, who are adored by the divine tree, which is a collection of earth gods, and who fight with divine power, pay the price of their lives to fight against Vertex, the vanguard of the heavenly god who wants to destroy the human world.

Unfortunately, the earth god's power was inferior to that of the heavenly god. The heroes selected from various regions struggled until their last breath and died, and each region was destroyed one after another. In the end, humanity could only retreat to the Shikoku region. The barrier created by the divine tree could only cover the Shikoku region, and on the vast planet, apart from the area within the barrier, no other humans survived.

The tree wall that rises in the four kingdoms is their megalithic monument, their Wall of Mary, and the material that builds this wall is naturally…

—The girls who died as heroes.

The world, protected by the lives of young girls, barely managed to continue. Even so, if the gods launched another attack, the surviving humans would be wiped out in an instant.

From then on, the Gregorian calendar was abolished, and the world entered the "Age of Gods," which, literally, is a world where people need to rely on God to survive.

Not a hundred survived... no, not even one in a thousand.

Humans born in the Age of Gods had their activities confined to the Divine Tree and could only dwell within its walls. The truth was deliberately concealed by the "Great Amnesty," and only a few knew everything.

The amnesty believed that under the protection of the sacred tree, people could simply live in peace without needing to know the cruel truth.

But in the year 298 of the Divine Era, the Vertex invasion began again. The three heroes paid an unimaginable price to the Divine Tree and barely managed to "repel" the constellations one by one.

Note that this is merely a repulsion.

The ongoing discussions within the Amnesty eventually led to a conclusion—according to the oracle, the Vertex, having been dealt a heavy blow, would not attack again for the time being.

However, in a year or two, those aliens will surely target the divine tree again, and before that, we must study and prepare corresponding countermeasures.

This time, we cannot simply repel them; we must find a reliable way to eliminate them. Humanity often achieves leaps in evolution during such times.

The conclusion was that the Vertex's core—the "Mitama"—had to be forcibly pulled out and shattered in order to completely defeat them.

April, 300th year of the Divine Age —

About a year and a half later, Vertex crossed the tree wall and attacked. The three generations of heroes (the Heroes Club) of Project A awakened. The "Sealing Ritual" implemented in the upgraded Hero System took effect, and Vertex "Virgo" was destroyed.

June of the 300th year of the Divine Age —

Vertex strikes again. The hero of Project B, "Miyoshi Karin," joins forces with the heroes of Project A. Only Miyoshi Karin successfully performs the "Sealing Ritual."

July, 300th year of the Divine Century —

Just when everything was going well, all the remaining Vertexes appeared, and the monsters that had nearly destroyed human civilization all attacked at once.

Five girls, the oldest no more than fifteen and the youngest no more than twelve, still in junior high school, form the last line of defense protecting humanity.

——[White Feather’s Yadashi]

The modern meaning of this phrase is that a great responsibility of honor has fallen upon someone, but its historical origin refers to a god who wanted a living sacrifice planting a white-feathered arrow on the roof of the house of a chosen girl as a sign, meaning that the sacrifice was chosen from among the people.

—The girls of the Hero Club appear to fight for the glory and survival of humanity, but in reality, they are merely offerings chosen by humanity to present to the gods…

This applies to both the gods of heaven and the gods of earth.

"This kind of thing, this kind of world!"

A surge of intense anger welled up in the hearts of the men of Beidou; all their anticipation and curiosity vanished, replaced by a single, shared thought—

Damn it, I'm so angry I'm practically fuming.
Their faces simultaneously displayed an extremely terrifying expression. They clenched their teeth with a force that seemed to shatter and bleed, their muscles bulging, and the veins popping out on their faces and foreheads showed just how intense their anger was.

Four fists, four of the world's hardest, strongest, and most invincible weapons, blasted together at the final "Leo"!
"----die!!!!!!"
