I'll kill you after I finish this game!

"That one probably won't make things difficult for Jibril, let's leave this [phase] first."

Mibu Sojiro knew what Kujou Shiori was planning, but what he could think of, Jibril's allegiance to could naturally think of as well.

After glancing at the chaotic surroundings, Mibu Sojiro and Kujou Shiori also left.

Just like the people at the Black Round Table, some of their people have not yet returned.

The fight couldn't have started from the beginning; the issues to be resolved here require careful planning.

...........

On the other side, Fujii Ren, who had witnessed the entire battlefield from beginning to end, saw the shattered Suwahara City before him transformed into a non-realistic realm detached from reality.

After the shattering, it felt like a dream, and she returned to the original skyscraper. Looking at the intact Suwahara City, she couldn't help but feel surprised and stunned.

She turned her head and looked nervously at Skadi beside her, and at Jibril, the angel who flew over and landed next to Skadi, her face showing confusion and tension.

"That was one of the parallel phase realities on the battlefield of the eight spiritual vein refining arrays. You can think of it as a place where guys like us who can destroy human civilization at will can run wild and cause trouble. It's a parallel world where no one exists."

Skadi explained to Ren Fujii the dramatic changes in the scene that had occurred earlier, explaining that there was a parallel phase reality at each of the eight ley lines of the transmutation circle.

That was a battlefield where demons could run wild. She didn't know exactly how big it was, but since it could become a parallel reality phase, its scale was definitely not just the size of Earth.

Upon hearing this, Fujii Ren felt a mix of relief and bitterness. With dry lips, she said with a wry smile, "Eight battlefields, which means there are still many troublesome guys who haven't appeared yet?"

She wasn't a dull-witted person; after all, there were eight transmutation arrays in Suwahara City that needed to be activated.

So there were probably more than just two of those terrifying guys from before.

Jibril raised an eyebrow, sizing up the human named Fujii Ren in front of her. His listless appearance was no different from the bald monkey she remembered.

However, with her discerning eye, she wouldn't regard Fujii Ren as an ordinary person. Finally, as if she had seen a part of Fujii Ren's true nature, Jibril said, "That secret ritual is not yet complete, Lady Skadi. She is not even as good as a young beast; she can only be considered a half-baked embryo."

A secretary ceremony? A half-baked embryo? Are they talking about me?

Fujii Ren looked puzzled as he stared at Jibril, the beautiful and scantily clad angel, with her strange gaze.

Ultimately, the gaze turned to Skadi for confirmation, and Skadi gave her an explanation, saying:

"The same secret ritual within you as those guys before you, the ritual to become a demon."

"Demon Ritual!?"

Fujii Ren was shocked, never expecting that she would be subjected to such a terrible and sinister ritual.

Does that mean that if you want to drive something, you have to kill people and hunt souls?

Resistance, the first reaction is resistance and rejection. Fujii Ren is not the kind of person who indiscriminately kills innocent people, nor would he do such killing for the purpose of becoming stronger.

Skadi and Jibril could both see through Ren Fujii's thoughts. Skadi remained calm and indifferent, and said softly:

"Don't worry, soul quantity is secondary. What really matters is your soul aptitude and desire. I will give you some soul quantity as fuel to make you stronger."

"I......"

"Don't hesitate any longer. If that kind of guy enters or affects your daily life and you have no power to resist, you will be crushed like an ant in an anthill being doused with boiling water by a child."

Crushing an ant without killing it requires precise control of force, not to mention that the Black Round Table is a madman organization that doesn't know how to restrain its power.

Without giving Fujii Ren a chance to nag, Skadi grabbed her by the back of her collar and opened a spatial portal.

After instructing Jibril that he wouldn't be going home that night, he went inside with Fujii Ren.

She needs to have a long talk with Fujii Ren tonight to help her sort out her feelings.

.........

On the deserted streets of Suwahara City at night, Wilhelm and the witch Anna followed the Holy Grail and emerged from a parallel reality.

Looking at the deserted night, Lieutenant Wilhelm, who possessed vampire-like qualities, wasn't in the mood to enjoy the darkness. He clicked his tongue and asked, watching the priest's retreating figure ahead:

"Christof (the Holy Grail), you haven't changed a bit in all this time! Couldn't you have fought earlier? Also, who on our side has entered Shangri-La?"

“Lionheart Sword, Sun Prince, Babylon, Tuba Cain... plus you, that makes six of you.” The blond priest Valyria replied calmly and indifferently, “If you’re asking why we can’t fight, the leader of the Winged Race is freely roaming around this city. The rest of us, along with the other leader, couldn’t make it here. By the way, do you want to play Musou?”

"Tsk."

This answer was truly impeccable. Wilhelm knew perfectly well what level his leader was, and that anyone who could rival him was someone he couldn't handle.

If the fighting had continued, they would have been the ones who ultimately lost.

"The Holy Grail, you just mentioned the Lionheart Sword, right? That's the guy who filled the Valkyrie Walkure's position, isn't it?"

At this moment, the witch asked a question with great interest.

She's now quite interested in the arrangements on her side.

The priest smiled and adjusted his glasses, replying, "Yes, you should know her. That young lady has grown into a very remarkable person, just like you, a being of the [Creation] rank."

"Hey~~"

"oh??"

Upon hearing this, the girl and the boy both broke into wide, intrigued smiles.

Interesting, very interesting. Have they become so impressive? And they've even reached the Creator rank in the last few years. I really want to see for myself—

"You two—"

Seemingly sensing the sinister aura emanating from the witch and vampire, the priest stopped and turned to look at the two, continuing as if giving them a warning:

“I think you all know very well that now is not the time for ‘love and affection’. We cannot create vacancies at the Black Round Table at this time. Even if she is a newcomer and not mature enough, her presence is necessary at this moment. Do you understand?”

"Yes, of course." The witch Anna responded with a smile, but did not answer whether she agreed to the other party's request. She said, "How could I not understand? You are as worrying as ever. We are both girls, how about leaving the child with me?"

"..." The priest remained silent, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he were considering something.

"Isn't this a good thing? It seems you also have things to keep you busy."

Before Father Valyria could reply, Lieutenant Wilhelm chuckled and said, "That leaves only Spinne the Red Spider. When is that guy coming?"

The guy being mentioned is the one in charge of intelligence work for the Black Round Table, and also one of the thirteen members of the Black Round Table.

"He'll have to wait a while longer; I'm asking him to investigate some things."

"Hmm, what is it? It's intriguing." Upon hearing that she had been sent by the priest to do something, Anna seemed to sense something unusual and asked with great interest.

"Hey, Malleus."

Wilhelm impatiently stopped the witch, who was about to launch into a tirade of questions, and said coldly:

"I told you, there's nothing wrong with this. The acting prince has done all the insidious things, which saves us a lot of trouble. We just need to clean up the mess."

He didn't like getting involved in the grimoire's insidious affairs. After this guy finished those dirty deeds, it saved him the trouble of doing it himself, and he was quite happy to be free.

"Hmm, instead of cleaning, I remember that bastard Melclius also sent a proxy, didn't he?"

"...Warrant Lieutenant, your disrespectful language towards the Deputy Chief is hardly commendable."

Although Father Valyria appears to be reprimanding the girl for her rudeness, this reprimand is merely a formality.

After all, even the priest himself didn't particularly like a certain deputy leader.

The person at the center of the conversation is extremely disliked, but there is no hint of contempt for this person in the words.

On the contrary, he was so shunned, feared, and hated that even his own companions wanted to deny his existence...

"Tsk, what about the other Gray? That guy doesn't seem like the cunning Melcrius type."

When Melcrius was mentioned, all three of them showed disgust and impatience, but when another person of equal status to the leader and deputy leader was mentioned, their eyes gleamed with different lights.

"Prince Gray? He owns a restaurant in Suwahara City, but whether it's open or not depends on his mood. You usually don't see him, but if you're lucky, you might bump into him while walking down the street."

When the name of a certain Grey was mentioned, Father Valyria's face showed a hint of helplessness, and he thought of a figure wandering around with a white-haired girl.

The tone was neither taboo nor offensive; the other person was at least much better at interpersonal relationships than that treacherous fellow.

It's certain that the other party isn't an enemy and won't get involved in their affairs, but their agent is truly troublesome and terrifying.

The two empty seats at the black round table were filled by the opponent's punches.

"Opening a restaurant? It's really hard to figure out his style," Wilhelm said, unconsciously touching his stomach.

Although he doesn't get hungry after becoming a demon, he still possesses culinary skills that can whet anyone's appetite.

"You're making me a little hungry. I definitely want to go eat there again sometime."

The witch said the same thing, showing no fear or disgust towards Gray.

"Now, let's return to the issue of the deputy leader's appointment. Please go and find this person who cannot be ignored. According to the information, the other party is probably near 'that person'."

"Huh? He's supposed to be the deputy leader's acting officer, but he's gone to the enemy's side?"

Wilhelm gave a disdainful sneer. He also disliked and disliked the deputy leader because of his affection for him.

Even though they haven't met yet, just the thought of him being that bastard's proxy makes it impossible for anyone in the Black Round Table, except for the leader, to like him.

"Where's the Lionheart Sword? Isn't she active?"

The witch raised an eyebrow. To be honest, she didn't want to get involved with the acting deputy leader. If possible, she'd rather pass the buck to someone else.

"Well, let's just say that new recruits need to gain experience. She's doing this too, so please consider it a favor to me."

The priest sensed the witch's reluctance and eventually used their old friendship to ask her for help.

Since things have been said to this extent, there's no reason to refuse, after all, the Holy Grail is the leader's proxy, even if it's only temporary.

At this moment, during the war, the enemy's orders were as if they were Reinhardt's directives.

Even those members of the Black Round Table, who revere the existence of that being, cannot ignore the commands of the other 'Golden Grail'.

P.S.: This is 8,000 words. I'm trying to reach the word count on Bilibili, but my schedule keeps getting disrupted by real-life issues...

★ Volume 5: The Day of God's Wrath ★

Chapter One: What is Premonition? The Terrifying and Desperate Eternal Return

The first night's battle was merely a polite greeting. One after another, powerful figures appeared in the darkness, causing countless people from different dimensions to tremble, even those from dimensional planes with extraordinary martial prowess.

In the Land of Light within the Ultraman Multiverse, Ultraman Hikari silently stared at the calculation results of his instrument's projection, and said in a somewhat incredulous tone:

"Their normal attacks actually reached the speed of light, and even slightly exceeded it. They didn't grow to a gigantic size or change shape. How could a human with that kind of body structure achieve such a terrifying level?"

Ordinary people see the superficial aspects, while experts see the underlying principles. Ultraman, set in a universe, can actually accept battles of planetary scale.
