I'll kill you after I finish this game!

She wanted to collapse to the ground, but was pulled by an invisible force, and could only endure the excruciating pain and force herself to stand.

As if teleporting, Skadi appeared in front of Fujii Ren, aiming her pistol directly at his other thigh, and indifferently urged:

"Think quickly, concentrate, what can you do when you're merged with the guillotine?"

"Well--!?"

"5, 4, 3..."

Damn it, I'm not a superman, having to think about that kind of thing in such a short time.

Wait a minute, this kind of thinking that clearly shows a lack of belief in oneself as a superman is unacceptable. My senior said that we need to completely deviate from common sense and perception of reality.

Then, with my fusion contract with the guillotine, I can do it...

“2, 1——”

Bang!

The brief moment passed, and the gunshots rang out again, causing Fujii Ren's beautiful face to contort in pain.

"Ugh—!"

The intense pain interrupted his thoughts, and he couldn't help but scream out in agony.

Damn it, how can I possibly concentrate on thinking with this kind of grueling training?!

"If you can't even face pain, how can you possibly be strong in the face of death? Don't forget what kind of monsters you're going to be facing! 5, 4, 3..."

After a not-so-stern but effective reprimand, the cold counting began again, this time Skadi aimed at Fujii Ren's shoulder.

Damn it, use your brain!

Think quickly, think quickly!

Although Skadi had not yet fired, Fujii Ren's body seemed to be experiencing phantom pain, and the pain stimulated his thoughts to become even faster.

Escape is impossible. According to Skadi's advice, even without completing the Eternal Destruction, she is already almost Superman, but she just hasn't realized it yet.

I've always viewed myself from the perspective of an ordinary person, so what can I do when I'm fused with the guillotine?

The answer is...

“2, 1——”

choke---!!

This time it wasn't a gunshot, or rather something faster than a gunshot swept over Skadi; ​​something sharp sliced ​​through her body.

The pistol in his hand was split in two, and at the same time, some equipment and the ground behind him were cut open with deep craters.

When Fujii Ren came to his senses, he shattered the pistol before the bullet was even fired, along with the ground in front of him and most of the scenery behind Skadi.

Skadi was originally supposed to be affected, but the unseen slashes all deviated from her path.

"That was the feeling of the [Event] just now, directly manifesting the characteristics of the relic into the physical body, which is the most basic of the basics." Looking at the somewhat dazed Fujii Ren in front of him with a slightly satisfied look in his eyes, he said softly, "Ren, your relic is the guillotine, so it can cut objects in half, and this kind of cutting is all-around and can be done at will."

"..."

Fujii Ren shook his head, silently raised his hand to look at it, and then looked down at his thigh in surprise. The bloody bullet hole had disappeared, and the bullet had been forced out of his body and fallen to the ground.

The area where I was hit still feels a little warm, but I can no longer feel any pain.

After experiencing it firsthand, I felt that the pain I had felt before was like an unreal phantom pain.

"Yes, the cosmic seed is being stimulated and is accelerating its formation and development. Your physical abilities are already superhuman. Firearms can no longer hurt you."

As she spoke, Skadi conjured a gun in front of Fujii Ren again and fired at him once more.

This time, Fujii Ren wasn't surprised, because her pupils contracted, her mind became incredibly clear, and her thoughts subconsciously accelerated.

The bullets in sight could be captured with crystal clarity, as if in slow motion.

Out of curiosity, he reached out and pinched a bullet between his thumb and forefinger. As for the other bullet that was aimed at his abdomen, Fujii Ren instinctively did not intercept it.

Because it feels like telling her that this poses no threat to her anymore.

"clang--!"

The bullet struck flesh, but after a small spark, it bounced off.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the audience, Fujii Ren blinked and caught the bullet with two fingers.

Viewers also saw the slow-motion perspective of Fujii Ren earlier.

The slight change that occurred in Fujii Ren made countless viewers in different dimensions extremely envious; the change in strength brought about by the training of Eternal Destruction was simply too obvious and powerful.

One moment Fujii Ren had the physical abilities of an ordinary person, but after a slight awakening, he became a superhuman, surpassing ordinary people.

This kind of visible increase in strength still seems outrageous, even to those who understand the power of eternal destruction.

"Remember that feeling? Now let's get down to business," Skadi said with a smile, watching Fujii Ren who was doing his self-examination.

"What are you up to now, senior!?"

Faced with Skadi's strange gaze, even with superhuman strength, Fujii Ren still felt no sense of security or peace of mind, and still felt like someone who could be toyed with in front of her.

With her arms crossed, Fujii Ren unconsciously took a step back, looking at Skadi with slightly wary eyes, afraid that the other party might bring out something else that could hurt her or stimulate her potential.

"Well, be careful. If you lose your willpower, the consequences could be worse than death."

Skadi walked up to Fujii Ren with a smile, looked him up and down, and then said something that sent chills down his spine.

Unconsciously, she wanted to avoid Skadi's eerie gaze and back away, but she couldn't.

Because at this moment, my whole body is frozen by an invisible force, is it telekinesis?

"Next, I will fully activate your body and slightly stimulate your soul."

"Activate the body, stimulate the soul!?"

Upon hearing this, Fujii Ren felt a sense of absolute reluctance to preserve or cherish this fleeting moment.

Ah, this scene seems familiar; it looks like something terrible is about to happen.

I don't understand the concept of "stimulating the soul," but I can grasp its meaning.

However, the activation of the body was something that not only Fujii Ren, but also viewers from other dimensions did not understand.

"The so-called body activation means to make your body undergo super evolution. This is an artificial evolution method that I have mastered. If successful, you will have the power to destroy the surface of the earth."

"...What if I fail?" Fujii Ren didn't think much about whether she would succeed; at this moment, she only wanted to know what would happen if she failed.

Skadi gently raised her hand and lightly stroked Fujii Ren's cheek, her eyes calm as she looked directly at him and said:

"My activation will cause every cell in your body to evolve to an incredible degree. They will all give birth to faint thoughts and consciousness, and even your brain cells will have a consciousness different from yours."

"Think about it, Lotus. How many trillion cells does the human body actually have? Having reached the [Active] level, your life level is higher than that of ordinary people. Every cell in your body awakens a faint consciousness. With these small amounts accumulating, can you maintain your own consciousness?"

"!!!"

Fujii Ren's eyes widened, as did those of the audience, especially those knowledgeable in human anatomy.

The cells throughout her body have evolved to the point where they all awaken individual consciousness, and according to Skadi, they will even rebel against the body's owner.

What the hell is this evolution?!

Skadi's methods, which are like pulling up seedlings to help them grow, might ruin others, but for some people who already have great potential, it's just a small trick to draw out a portion of their power.

Everyone has their own characteristics, and this is true even for demons, let alone Fujii Ren.

To achieve the superhuman principle of transcendence, Zarathustra.

"Next, you will enter a complete 'beast' state. The only help I can offer is to ensure your consciousness isn't erased. Overcoming the trillions of consciousnesses within your body is up to you, Lian~~~"

"Wait......"

Fujii Ren wasn't prepared for this, but before she could finish speaking, a spiral-shaped quantum fluctuation passed through Skadi's palm and entered her body, into every cell and even a fragment of her genes.

The singular consciousness was completely overwhelmed and impacted by a tsunami-like sea of ​​combined consciousness, plunging it into utter darkness.

Unconsciously, the patterns of the double serpent staff appeared in his empty, blank eyes. Fujii Ren's skin suddenly turned a slightly dark color, and the whites of his eyes were covered by a dark crimson color that was both angry and mournful.

An immense and terrifying power erupted from her seemingly powerless body in Skadi's eyes, sweeping across thousands of kilometers of the alternate dimension.

P.S.: Finally finished work, I'm exhausted. Sorry for the late update, I did manual labor all day and didn't have much time to update........................

Chapter Six: The Contract Between Lotus and Mary, The Past of the Twilight Girl

The scene where Fujii Ren seems to go mad and lose her mind doesn't continue. The audience can only feel the chilling power emanating from the girl's body before the scene takes a dark turn.

Then came the silent murmurs of trillions of consciousnesses, which, though chaotic and jarring, were clearly audible to the audience.

That was the voice of Fujii Ren's individual consciousness.

Now that he can no longer feel touch, sight, hearing, smell, or taste, Fujii Ren, with all five senses gone, listens to the chaotic consciousness that is like that of an infant, but feels little peace.

Just as the senior student said, after her body was activated, even her brain cells awakened tiny and weak consciousness.

But even though it was small, little by little, when accumulated, Fujii Ren still lost ultimate control over his body.

Recalling her senior's words, she knew she had to strengthen her will and her desire, and completely confront her own heart.

Otherwise, one will become a mindless walking corpse.

[To turn madness into one's weapon, then use it to arm oneself, to control and wield it—that is what is meant by a demon.]

Is this moment meant for me to confront my own inner self?

[The negative impulses that exist within one's heart—things that should be ignored and allowed to remain dormant if one wants to live a peaceful life—are now something Fujii Ren must confront.]

In other words, there is only one major taboo for the lotus.

[The taboo that I don't even want to think about, let alone say aloud, is—]

[That thing, deeply etched in my memory eleven years ago.]

[I must confront it directly, materialize it, transform it into a force that arms me, and master and drive it.]

"How could that be? That kind of thing is absolutely impossible..."

"If you continue to run away, you can sink deeper and deeper into despair."

Suddenly, a familiar, calm voice was caught by Fujii Ren's fragile consciousness, and her lost vision seemed to reappear.
