I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Even though they were both women, Fujii Ren couldn't help but marvel at the other woman's inhuman charm.

"Oh dear, my gaze was a little rude. After all, you really pique my curiosity and make me want to explore you."

When Jibril saw that Fujii Ren couldn't help but ask a question, she smiled and concealed her increasingly perverted gaze.

The look in her eyes when she looked at Fujii Ren contained five parts curiosity, and the other five parts a slightly inappropriate desire for his one-of-a-kind head.

This is one of the biggest reasons why Fujii Ren felt so uncomfortable.

Before she officially formed a contract with Mary, she often had vivid nightmares of being beheaded.

He was extremely sensitive to the cool sensation on his head and neck.

Jibril's gaze gave her a look similar to that of an executioner eager to carry out an execution, which made her extremely uncomfortable.

P.S.: Not being able to speak and not being able to correct typos at will has been tough on me, and even tougher on the readers...

Chapter Sixteen: Synchronous Resonance, From the Perfect Realm of Mary and Skadi

In Jibril's eyes, although the current Fujii Ren is just a young demon with a little bit of strength.

However, the other party would not be equated with the bald monkey in Jibril's mind. According to her master, Fujii Ren is a domineering talent like her.

In other words, the other party is a candidate for godhood, a transcendent being who needs further cultivation.

If it were the old Jibril who knew Fujii Ren's true identity, she probably would have already taken action to remove his extremely rare head and keep it as a keepsake.

However, since the other party belongs to their side and is under Skadi's protection, it's impossible for them to do such a thing now.

Besides her head fetish, Jibril also has an insatiable thirst for knowledge.

The reason I care about Fujii Ren is because I care about her physical structure and essence.

"I shouldn't be... anything special, right?"

Fujii Ren felt a little intimidated by Jibril's gaze. Despite Jibril's claim that she was special, she, who longed for an ordinary and peaceful life, didn't actually want to be anything special.

"Hahaha..."

However, Jibril slightly raised her hand to cover her mouth and chuckled at Fujii Ren's words, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him and said with a smile:

“You are too modest. If you weren’t ‘special,’ how could you have been valued by our lord? Besides, ordinary people wouldn’t possess a demon alchemy formula.”

Ordinary people simply cannot have the conditions that Fujii Ren possesses; Jibril had heard Skadi talk about the Demon Transformation Technique.

Those who can successfully master or even begin to understand this technique are absolutely not ordinary.

"Compared to the Black Round Table and senior Nanami, I am just a newbie at the [Event] level. Calling myself ordinary is an overestimation."

Fujii Ren felt no joy at Jibril's praise; instead, he spoke with a helpless yet sincere tone.

If she had the power to solve everything in Suwahara City, then she would feel that her power was somewhat useful.

But at this moment, the power within her that is beyond human imagination is probably nothing more than an embryo, not even as good as a baby, in the eyes of the Black Round Table and the senior student.

“What you say is true, but I remember Skadi saying that the Eternal Destruction is a training system that depends heavily on talent, aptitude, and resolve. She said that you have the first two, and if you have the ‘resolve,’ even I might not be your match.”

The potential of Fujii Ren in front of Jibril was something her master Skadi had warned her about.

Once the opponent steps into the realm of eternal destruction, as long as their temperament and awareness are in place, no one can predict what kind of explosive power they will unleash in the next second.

"Even if you say that, talent is talent, and strength is strength."

Although Fujii Ren was pleased with Skadi's affirmation, she was not the kind of person who was arrogant or complacent.

She had a clear understanding of herself: if talent couldn't be converted into power, nothing she said would matter.

"It seems that your personality is more like that of an ordinary person."

After talking with Fujii Ren, Jibril nodded thoughtfully, thinking that Ren's personality stemmed from a desire to move from a higher position to a lower one.

Despite possessing formidable wealth, he yearns for peace and ordinariness, and in conversation, he displays none of the arrogance of someone in a position of power.

But Jibril doesn't dislike people who are so reserved.

"Lian, Jibril, come and eat."

Suddenly, Nanami and Skadi came out of the kitchen together, each carrying a plate, and called the two of them over to eat.

The two didn't continue their conversation. Upon smelling the fragrant aroma in the air for the first time, Fujii Ren couldn't help but swallow hard, and his stomach rumbled in response.

"Is there one for me too?"

Sakurai Hotaru, who was called to the dining table, took the bowl and chopsticks handed to her by Yoshino and asked in surprise.

After all, she was just a prisoner of war, and she never expected to be treated like this when she had dinner with them.

"Huh? You don't want to eat at the table? Then do you need this?"

Skadi looked at Sakurai Hotaru expressionlessly, then conjured a pet food bowl and a dog blanket and placed them on the ground beside her.

Sakurai Hotaru's face flushed red. The thought of being forced to eat like a dog immediately silenced her. She lowered her head and timidly whispered, "..."

"I'm gonna start now."

After saying that, he immediately started eating.

While viciously devouring the incredibly delicious food, Sakurai Hotaru felt utterly humiliated, thinking that one day she must escape.

Seeing this, Fujii Ren almost laughed. The way his senior was bullying him made him look pitiful.

The premise is to ignore the fact that this guy is one of the Black Round Table weirdos.

........

After finishing the most delicious dinner Fujii Ren had ever eaten, Skadi and Jibril led Sakurai Hotaru and Fujii Ren to a special room.

They led Fujii Ren and the others to the other side of the inner celestial body.

What met the eyes of Fujii Ren and Sakurai Hotaru was a completely different world: a pure blue sky dotted with white clouds.

And several creatures that Fujii Ren did not recognize, flying creatures that looked like fish, were flying in the sky.

If I had to give it a name, the first thing that comes to mind for Fujii Ren is "Flying Fish".

The environment here is brimming with pure, vibrant life; even breathing in the air feels like a rebirth.

Before training began, Skadi changed Fujii Ren into a more durable training outfit.

“Ren, because of the Suwahara City issue, you haven’t had much time to train, so your training methods can’t follow the conventional approach. The most convenient way is to communicate with Mary more often in the most realistic combat.”

Skadi explained to Fujii Ren, and then casually waved her hand to release some of the seals and restrictions on Sakurai Hotaru's body.

In terms of strength, it can reach the [Forming] level, a fact that Sakurai Hotaru also sensed.

She dared not argue or resist being used as a sparring partner, but she would probably vent her anger on Fujii Ren.

Looking into Sakurai Hotaru's eyes, Fujii Ren, whose lips were twitching, could sense what this guy wanted to do.

"Buzz!"

Skadi raised one hand forward, and a golden, transparent barrier spread out at a speed of tens of kilometers per second.

"Within this barrier, your healing speed will be extremely fast, and with me here, you can fight without worry; you definitely won't die."

"Then I won't be polite."

Sakurai Hotaru sneered, glanced at Fujii Ren without underestimating him, and directly entered the [Forming] rank, materializing her own relic.

Although it's impossible to unleash the terrifying power of the [Creation] rank, using that power against a newcomer of the [Activity] rank would be nothing short of shameless bullying of a child.

"Let me see the power of the acting deputy leader."

Sakurai Hotaru murmured, raising her crimson gold sword. The crimson flames, condensed to their limit by the soul power restricted to the [Forming] rank, leaped and burst forth on the blade.

No need for further words, the battle begins!

"I am Fujii Ren! I am not some random person's agent!"

Fearless, yet not afraid, for for the sake of the moment she protects, she cannot fail to overcome even the enemy before her.

The two sides took a step together, triggering a terrifying earthquake that spread over tens of thousands of kilometers. The Earth's gravity seemed to lose its meaning, causing countless boulders to be launched into the sky.

The sheer force of gravity and atmosphere, pulling and stretching together, creates an incredibly terrifying distortion.

As a high-ranking demon, Sakurai Hotaru's strength is beyond question.

Although Fujii Ren is only an active-rank demon, he can mobilize every bit of power in his body when he is in a state of extreme physical sensitivity.

Even this kind of subtle striking ability is only a small part of the complete realm in Skadi's eyes, regarding the direction of power control.

In the actual battle, Fujii Ren was the first to be injured. Without a weapon, he was slashed by Sakurai Hotaru, but with his own healing ability and the blessing of the barrier, he quickly healed on his own.

Both attacked simultaneously, their fists and swords colliding and unleashing a tangible circular shockwave.

A series of afterimages intersected, collided, and flashed, rubbing against the air and producing an extremely ear-piercing sound.

Visible shockwaves exploded continuously in the sky. From a normal perspective, one could only see the battle scene unfolding, but could not see the people in it at all.

Fortunately, the audience has a second perspective. Although it is not as destructive as a demon of the [Creation] rank, this level of combat is already beyond that of many worlds.

Putting aside Sakurai Hotaru, how much time did Fujii Ren spend to achieve such godlike strength?

The answer is that in less than half a day, Skadi directly gained this level of power, having never experienced any training as a powerless ordinary person before.

In the world of Genshin Impact, at the Fatui Bank in Liyue.

"The speed at which these demons gain power is truly enviable to the point of jealousy."

Tartaglia, one of the executors of the Fools, watched the video and saw a power in it that surpassed that of them, the possessors of the Eye of God. In their world, it was completely comparable to the Demon God.

Even the current Seven Gods of the Seven Kingdoms tacitly acknowledge this point; the basic power of Fujii Ren at the [Active] rank alone completely surpasses that of the Demon Gods of this world.

After reaching the [Form] rank, just by looking at Sakurai Hotaru, they knew that if they were to fight her, they could only calculate how many moves it would take for them to be defeated.

Putting aside the demons' strength, their physical power alone is something that many people in the world can only dream of.

[Ultraman Orb]: I saw the power of the demon at the [Creation] level before, but now I can't be sure I can defeat these two girls who are at the [Activation] and [Form] levels.

[Ultraman Zero]: In terms of physical strength, they are in no way inferior to us Ultramen, and are even superior to most of them.

[Dumb Goose]: In terms of rank, it depends on who has gone further. Skadi said that Eternal Destruction depends a lot on talent. Now, Fujii Ren of the [Active] rank can compete with Sakurai Hotaru of the [Form] rank.

[Mebius]: Just by looking at how much they care about Fujii Ren, you can tell how special this girl is.

[Rita]: Moreover, I remember that demons need to devour souls and burn them as fuel. Fujii Ren also has a Seeker God soul that surpasses the sum of all souls in the universe.
