I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

The power of the Star Creator within Jill surged fully, and his armor began to shimmer one by one—

"Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost!"

A series of powerful voices resounded through the sky, and Jill's aura rose with each utterance.

"Drink ah ah ah ah -"

Jill roared, her Demon Slayer sword already pointed at her opponent—

"Goo ...

Ragnar's claws also reached for Jill's chest—

……

"Pfft!"

The sharp longsword pierced Ragnar's body completely.

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh—"

Ragnar let out a mournful cry, and all the gas in his body completely dissipated.

The white light emanating from Jill once again illuminated Ragnar's body, causing him to turn into countless ashes, just like a vampire that dies in the light.

A white crystal was also held in Jill's hand.

"..." Something feels... off.

Jill frowned uneasily.

Just now, the power of the Star Creator on his body shouldn't have been strong enough to instantly evaporate Ragnar's gas defense.

A sense of unease made Jill frown.

It seems... something happened two seconds before Ragnar and Jill collided...

"Ah, Ragnar...you're free now too..."

An's hand suddenly appeared, gently grasping the stone. "This resentment, this hatred... will finally be released here..."

The gentle expression that flashed across An's face for a moment was as if she were watching her friend leave with peace of mind.

"A world polluted by resentment? Ragnar, is that the kind of world?" Jill asked in a low voice.

"……Yes."

The sudden sound made Jill turn her gaze toward the source of the sound.

The white-haired, blue-eyed youth gazed sadly at the white crystal in Jill's hand. "What is the core of the Creation Factor...?"

Jill stared blankly at the young man before her, and asked in a low, questioning tone, "Why are you here, Kevin?"

“…to bid it farewell,” Kevin began. “Ragnar is the embodiment of the world I once experienced—”

Jill looked at Kevin, thought for a moment, and then understood.

“I see, so this is the world of the [Azure Spellbook]?” Gil glanced at Kevin’s right arm. “I understand now—you intervened when I freed Ragnar, didn’t you?”

“…Yes, I stopped time and changed Ragnar’s attack trajectory,” Kevin nodded and said.

……

Let's go back to the moment before Jill and Ragnar collided.

"The World, stop time!"

Kevin activated the Stand he had stolen from DIO, freezing time in the entire world.

"Thank you... for everything you've given me... But now, it's time to say goodbye, even if it's only a temporary farewell..."

Kevin combined the two guns in his hands, "Skyfire...unsheathed!"

"Pfft! Crack!"

Kevin sprinkled a handful of white powder onto the Greatsword of Judgment of Heavenly Fire, and the Greatsword of Judgment of Heavenly Fire emitted a light almost identical to that of the Star Creator on Jill's body—

Then, Kevin wielded the Heavenly Judgment, slashing directly at the black mist surrounding Ragnar, shattering it—

"Time begins to flow."

"Pfft-"

With his defenses compromised, Ragnar was pierced through the body by the silver holy sword and ultimately destroyed...

Chapter 148 Entrusting the Future of This World to You

"Ah, you're really weak, you actually need me to deliver the final blow or something."

Jill shook her head helplessly, and the white light around her gradually dissipated.

The Creator's Extreme Dragon transformed into the Red King's Extreme Dragon, and the Demon Slayer also returned to its original form.

“…I’m sorry.” Kevin remained silent for a long time before finally uttering a dry, curt sentence.

"Apologize for what? Is it about not telling me the truth about the Destruction Factor?" Jill asked curiously.

“No…we all knew you’d find out the truth sooner or later.” Kevin shook his head. “However, my time in this world is far too limited—you see.”

Kevin raised his hand and pressed the air, and a ripple instantly appeared in the air.

"This is……"

Jill blinked, raised an eyebrow, and then confirmed, "The world's rejection?"

“Yes, that’s right.” Kevin smiled wryly. “I’m leaving soon, so I can only ask you for one thing here…”

“For example?” Jill asked, looking at Kevin.

"I want to entrust the future of this world to you." Kevin looked up at the sky. "We gave everything to defeat the Herrscher of the End... but we couldn't take that final step..."

“We couldn’t defeat Him.” Kevin looked at Gil. “This world is always going through cycles, and no matter how many times, no one can defeat the Herrscher of the End and the final Him… But you are different.”

Kevin placed a golden necklace shaped like a cross into Jill's hand. "In any case, I hope to entrust the future of this world to you. At the very least, I hope this era will no longer be disturbed by the Collapse..."

“…Ah, leave it to me.” Jill made her promise.

Kevin smiled with relief. "Well then, thank you... In any case, please rewrite the tragedy of this world."

……

"Crack up Finish!"

"Drink ah ah ah!"

Kusanagi leaped into the air, and the giant crocodile-like mouth formed from purple energy bit and crushed the dark, mud-like shadow, bursting into huge sparks.

"Now, everything's settled." Kusanagi's armor also turned into light particles and disappeared. He turned around and found that Otto had already left.

"...Never mind, it's just to teach him a lesson..." Kusanagi shook his head and stretched.

The sky had returned to its twilight hue, which looked beautiful.

"I imagine there are quite a few places that need to be rebuilt..."

Kusanagi glanced at the rooftop where he was fighting and gave a wry smile.

There were rubble everywhere, as well as overturned bricks and broken railings...

"Let's just say it was all the work of the Destruction Factor... umm."

That's certainly not wrong.

Kusanagi looked into the distance. "Senior Ren and the King should have dealt with them by now, right? But speaking of which, the highest level of the dozen or so I dealt with was only B-rank. One A-rank Destruction Factor is with Senior Ren... Where did the other A-rank Destruction Factor go?"

"Boom!"

In the distance, countless chains shimmering with golden light rose from the ground, then descended from the sky...

"...Is he with Lord Enkidu...?" Kusanagi breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. He didn't end up in a place with too many students..."

Yes, it is indeed very good.

However, Kusanagi forgot one thing.

Enkidu's Noble Phantasm is an A++ level Anti-Purge Noble Phantasm.

Even though it was just a weakened version, when it collided with the weakened version of Ea, it still created a huge crater.

That only covers the affected area.

Under such an attack, all buildings within Enkidu's attack range would likely be destroyed...

……

"..."

Therefore, when Kusanagi and Gil simultaneously saw the large area of ​​buildings that had been razed to the ground, their first reaction was the same—

Brain pain.

"Ah, I forgot that if Enkidu saw the Destruction Factor, she would unleash her Noble Phantasm. Luckily, she still had some sense of propriety this time..."

Jill was holding her head, revising the budget sheet. "Otherwise, the entire St. Freya Academy will probably sink to the bottom of the sea..."

They are currently staying temporarily at Theresa's villa.

Theresa and Himeko's villa, for some reason, were both very lucky and avoided the impact of the golden chains that fell from the sky, thus escaping unscathed.

Therefore, Jill is currently frantically dealing with the budget for the second half of the year at St. Freya Academy.

the reason is simple……

"All the budget sheets I made were destroyed along with the house in that one blow..." Jill nearly collapsed as she threw down who-knows-how-many pages of the budget sheets she was holding, then slumped onto the table.

"I'm sorry, Gil..." Enkidu looked at Gil, who was working overtime, "How about... I get you a cup of coffee?"

"Instant coffee is fine too, as long as it keeps me awake for a short time."

Jill tossed her drink bottle into the trash can. "Besides, we have to suspend classes this time to renovate the campus and dormitories... and then there's sending that troublesome Otto back to Schicksal headquarters, and the mission that Shigure Kira was assigned to..."

"Wang, the third phase of the financial statements is also ready."

"Put it over there and go rest."

Jill pointed to the pile of files on her desk. "There are no classes tomorrow or the day after. This sudden invasion by the Destruction Factor is really bad..."
