Chapter 537 The Power of the Great Universe

Suddenly, lightning flashed in the sea of ​​fire.

Rumble————

A beam of bluish-white lightning, condensed to its extreme, pierced through space and time, tearing the entire fiery universe apart in a simple and brutal way, just as the night sky was cleaved open by lightning, splitting in two directions.

Deafening thunder roared across the starry sky, more intense than blood, as if the source of all thunder and lightning in the world was about to descend. The sky burned brilliantly under that magnificent power, and the void trembled in terror.

Hundreds of millions of 'stardust' and 'noise' were easily shattered and blasted into countless red powders amidst countless blinding lightning beams, and space seemed to turn into water, vibrating violently.

But the paradox is—

The army that should have been filled with new mobs in the blink of an eye and continued to fight without fear, the seemingly endless "Stardust" army, was actually blasted into a vast, empty passage at least hundreds of meters wide and hundreds of thousands of kilometers long, which has not healed for a long time.

It was as if the world had been torn apart by this bolt of lightning!

No matter how many tens of thousands of monsters are filled into the empty space to wear down the remaining power, they will all end up in one moment—ashes, dust, smoke, and annihilation!

In the past, there were numerous Earth Gods, with deities residing on almost every dragon vein, spread across the globe, and every country and region was protected by Earth Gods.

Essentially, the war between Heaven and Earth is a conflict between the gods of Tianjin and the gods of Kunitsu.

However, as two of the Three Noble Ones, Amaterasu and Susanoo, who both sought to destroy humanity, diverged and became opposed to each other. Although their powers differed, they were not completely incapable of fighting each other.

Logically speaking, all the remaining Earth Gods who protected humanity should have inflicted extremely heavy losses on the Heaven Gods.

As a result, the Heaven sent only one god, which wiped out all the Earth Gods. Driven to the limit, Susanoo had no choice but to sacrifice himself and the few remaining Earth Gods to become a divine tree, barely surviving with the last humans.

Now, this [god] who once slaughtered all the gods of the earth has arrived…

The lightning that pierced through the starry sky revealed its identity—the strongest war god besides the Three Noble Sons—'Takemikazuchi'!
A terrifying force surged forth like a tidal wave, and bluish-white lightning relentlessly attacked the girls, wielding the divine authority and displaying the might of divine power.

Even the "Star Cluster Soul," which was once as large as the moon and possessed unbelievable defensive capabilities, was easily shattered.

Their vision was filled with a dazzling bluish-white light, their minds went blank, and their bodies were frozen in place uncontrollably. What dominated them was the real feeling of death and severe difficulty breathing.

Just breathing can scorch your soul and burn your spirit...

Their human instincts told them that in this world where the Divine Tree no longer exists, nothing can withstand this divine punishment...

It's gone...

No, there's more—

"I!!!!"

A hand wearing a pink and white glove, as if trying to grasp the heavens and the earth, blocked the ferocious thunder dragon that flew in from the universe and stirred up boundless waves like a tsunami!
At the moment of impact, shockwaves surged behind Yuna Yuuki, releasing intense light that illuminated her fearless face.

That thing, which was hundreds or thousands of times larger than her height, seemed to have crashed into something so tall and enormous that it couldn't move an inch!

He firmly stopped the raging lightning bolt, which was powerful enough to destroy the heavens and earth and carried unparalleled divine wrath, with his palm.

Her entire body crackled with lightning arcs, and the girl breathed heavily. Every second, cherry-colored specks of light drifted out from the endless lightning surrounding her body.

Within her body, boundless power surged like a nuclear reactor, releasing rings of invisible radiance. Her profound, ocean-like potential began to erupt rapidly, unleashing energy powerful enough to send a fist soaring into the sky.

“Drink aaaaaaaaaa!”

The power flowing within his body burst forth in one breath. With a clench of his five fingers and a snap of his palms, he crushed and pulverized the useless thing completely. The thunder dragon that stretched to the end of the starry sky vanished completely in the void!
When she opened her palm again, there were only a few scorch marks and faint, almost imperceptible arcs of electricity dancing and disappearing around her.

"I never imagined... that you could achieve this with just your fists..."

Those around Yuuki Yuna, unharmed, were simultaneously filled with astonishment: she had actually caught Thor's furious attack with her bare hands.

no doubt,

Yuuki Yuna at this moment!
Powerful. Extremely powerful, stronger than ever before!

Even Hibiki Tachibana didn't understand how Yuna had become so strong. She didn't know what Yuna had gone through to gain such power, because she herself was too focused on becoming stronger to care about anything else.

But as she gazed upon that figure, so close to divine perfection yet undeniably human, a powerful urge to weep welled up within her.

"A form forged from pure, self-sacrificing resolve, capable even of defying the gods..."

What kind of Spartan training did this girl, who should have been exhausted and unable to bear the heavy responsibility suddenly placed on her shoulders, and lost everything in the storm, go through to reach this point?

—No, it's not exercise.

Hibiki Tachibana immediately dismissed her own judgment, as she was well aware of Yuna's level of skill, which she had previously trained with.

The human body cannot bear divine power. Even those men who transformed their bodies into the hardest substance in the universe could only endure it for a little longer. It is impossible to break through to this level simply through training or steady, step-by-step progress.

She was certain that something that could only be described as a "miracle" had happened to Yuuki Yuna in the present day.

Because... she was the same way.

Only things that defy common sense and are irrational can deal with things that are impossible to contend with in the conventional sense.

This is similar to gladiators fighting in the Colosseum in ancient Rome who only found out their weapons were the same as their opponents' a second before the duel began.

It was only through the joint research of many alchemists and geniuses that she discovered that what she was using was not simply a fragment of "Gungnir" forged from a branch of the World Tree.

In the original mythology, there was no legend of the Gungnirs killing gods. The spears they used were actually the "Spear of Longinus," a weapon whose true identity had been distorted by people's beliefs over a long period of history!
Therefore, she was able to do the seemingly incredible thing of "shattering a black hole".

only…

Hibiki Tachibana always knew.

No matter how great the miracle or how terrifying the power, there will always be a price to pay.

Not only Yuuki Yuna, but every other member of the Hero Club emanated a similarly powerful aura.

She could even sense with her keen senses that they were now on some indescribable boundary.

Extremely powerful, extremely perfect, extremely ferocious, both mentally and physically, it has been honed to the point where it cannot be strengthened in any further, like a container completely filled with water, any more and it will break.

The limits of mortals, the limits of the body.

Having lost the power of the Divine Tree, what price will the heroes have to pay to obtain this power that can only be described as a "miracle among miracles"?

★★★★★★★ It is said that in ancient Greek drama, when the plot reached a stalemate and the predicament seemed unsolvable, a powerful god would suddenly appear and solve the problem, allowing the story to come to a close.

Using cranes or lifts, lower-ranking actors playing gods are transported onto the stage. This performance technique is artificial, creating unexpected plot twists.

Deus ex machina should be understood as the use of mechanisms to summon deities.

—This is the miracle they achieved.

……

Sadness, pain, and regret—these emotions can unleash tremendous power, but without mastering the Hokuto Shinken and losing the support of divine power, letting tears flow will only widen the cracks in one's heart.

"The Divine Tree has vanished! There are no more gods who can help us! What should we do?"

"No... perhaps there is still someone who can help you, someone who can reverse everything..."

"Hmm, who is it?"

"I once shared the same title as that guy, but this time it's the real deal... a god."

After what seemed like a conversation, the girls resolutely knocked on the door of a certain activity room, as if they had entered a terrifying demon king's castle—the 'SOS Brigade'!
This is not as simple as a club exchange.

They are weak.

Both the strength to fight and the will are weak.

That's why everything was destroyed.

Even so, this life is still here, and that last bit of life is still here, so—

"I want to become stronger, strong enough to protect everything I have left behind!"

"Please give us strength! Take away our arms, or our legs... Whether it's our sight, our hearing, or even all our senses, it doesn't matter, just leave us our memories! As long as our memories remain, we can continue to fight!"

With her arms and face wrapped in bandages and plasters of various sizes, Yuuki Yuna, covered in wounds, struck a tiger landing pose and pleaded with the expressionless purple-haired girl with glasses in front of her.

"Please! Yuki-neechan!" x5
The four members of the Hero Club behind them were the same. Although they spoke in a relaxed tone, one could sense the immense pain they were carrying and the immense courage they possessed just to stand there.

Nagato Yuki paused for a moment, her eyes seemingly reflecting the flow of data, then shook her head slightly, the movement almost imperceptible, but the brave girls immediately panicked.

"Ugh, isn't that enough offerings?"

"Then, then take the soul too, as long as we defeat the gods..."

If someone familiar with Nagato Yuki were here, they might have noticed a slight change in her expression, albeit only a few millimeters, but it was still a change nonetheless.

The girl with no connections pushed up her glasses, a cold glint flashing from the lenses—probably her signature expression of utter exasperation.

Where did this strange information come from? What do they take this information-integrating thought entity for? They keep asking for arms and legs, isn't that making it an evil god? And what use are these things?
No offerings are needed.

The words were concise yet left everyone stunned.

Is there really such a good thing?
Yuki Nagato is an alien sent to Earth by the Information Integration Thought Entity. She doesn't lie or joke (maybe), but she would never do such a thing in this situation.

Before they could react, the girl with no emotions closed her eyes and thought for a moment, then opened them and said calmly in a voice devoid of much feeling.

"Information received... Divine power nature analysis complete..."

Having lost everything because of their weakness, they came here to stand up again... Nagato Yuki slowly stood up and extended her hands to them.

Even though the "divine tree" has disappeared, some residual divine power still remains on Yuna Yuuki and the others.

This universe holds virtually no secrets for the Information Integration Thought Entity—to them, divine power is merely one of countless special energies.

In just that short time, Nagato Yuki has already been able to understand, comprehend, and manipulate information to generate energy of similar nature…

For the information integration thought entity of the past, analyzing the divine power of another world was completely impossible.

But after Haruhi Suzumiya performed the "Superman Big Bang," they gradually became able to do even that, which felt strangely subtle...

"How much do you need."

In Nagato Yuki's understanding, Yuki Yuna's request could be roughly equated with "needing energy".

"The more the merrier!"

I answered that without hesitation.

The next moment, a strong wind arose, the floor shook, and the feeling as if the whole world was responding rushed towards Yuna. The energy, which was extremely close to divine power but had an overwhelming and terrifying quantity, kept flowing into her body, like pouring into a bottomless pit.

Surpassing all fossil fuels ever used by humankind...

Beyond planets... beyond stars...

It seemed to have no limit; terrifying energy was endlessly poured in...

For Nagato Yuki, who can manipulate information, is almost omniscient, and can do most things in the world effortlessly, where is the limit of her power?

—The current Nagato Yuki is able to utilize even a small portion of Suzumiya Haruhi's power.

If measured in units, it's about two micrometers in size. If converted to terms of expressive power, it could completely reshape the universe in a year.

This power was named by the Information Integration Thought Entity as the "Great Cosmic Power"!
Therefore, the people who should be considering the limits are not her, but girls like Yuuki Yuna.

And then—

"Royal posture"

For a hero who once possessed divine power, the so-called "divine form" is a new physical form that the body transforms into after a part of the soul is contributed to the gods.

Their capacity, the limit of the power they can contain, depends on the "controlling posture" part of their bodies. No one knows, at this very moment, in this instant...

The girls of the Hero Club had all transformed into a form closest to "God," and all of them had obtained the power of the "Great Universe."

In the end… everyone reached the final step—the end of their own possibilities.

"Great Cosmic Power★Yuuki Yuna, Launch!"
