I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Bishop Otto of Destiny revealed a meaningful smile. Although Sakurai Hotaru was asking Fujii Ren a roundabout question, as an old fox who had lived for five hundred years, he understood the young man's dishonesty.

Furthermore, Hotaru Sakurai also stated that she is not like the other members of the Black Round Table, whose appearance does not match their age.

Therefore, Otto was certain that the girl's personal goal was to resurrect someone important to her.

After thinking about this, Otto's heart gradually warmed up.

The world depicted in the video is undoubtedly a terrifying and powerful world, and there truly exists a "god".

The miracle of resurrecting the dead should not be difficult for the world depicted in the video.

Moreover, judging from Sakurai Hotaru's expression and tone, she is so young yet already pursuing the resurrection of someone important; she must have already found a way.

Returning to the video, when faced with Sakurai Hotaru's hypothetical question, Fujii Ren had already keenly guessed a bit of the truth that the other party was hiding.

So when the other person asked her what she would do for the dead, her answer was very simple.

"Those who say things like 'Do something for the dead' aren't concerned about the dead; they're just blaming them. Would the dead really want their loved ones to live on for such a thing?"

Fujii Ren's eyes showed no confusion or hesitation. Faced with Sakurai Hotaru's speechless expression, she spoke directly and bluntly:

"So, including myself, I only think about the living!"

Things that have passed away have lost most of their meaning, so we should cherish every minute and every second while we are alive.

"That's it."

Sakurai Hotaru nodded, her expression showing nothing unusual, but what she was really thinking was anyone's guess. She said:

"So that means, those people Ayase killed... you didn't have any intention of doing anything for them, right?"

"...I will settle things with you all."

To eliminate the root cause of everything, Fujii Ren did this, actively detaching himself from his daily life.

Words are meaningless to those who have passed away.

Therefore, we must resolve what needs to be resolved while we still exist in the world.

"Fine, I'm quite familiar with your stubborn thinking. I don't know if you could still say such things if someone close to you really died."

Sakurai Hotaru closed her eyes and shook her head, then looked at Fujii Ren, who was glaring at her fiercely. A smile appeared on her lips as she crossed her arms and comforted him, saying:

"Alright, stop glaring at me like that. I already told you I wasn't threatening you. You're really paranoid."

If someone else had said those words, Fujii Ren could have held her temper, but she couldn't tolerate it coming from someone who had disrupted her daily life.

Moreover, this guy was also playing tricks on me; he had been thinking of revenge when we sparred.

So if you don't like her, you have to fight back.

Force cannot be used; even if you win a verbal exchange through force, it is meaningless.

so......

"Just as I said, you're a typical cool guy, which is a trait unique to those characters who have suffered and struggled in the 'underworld' since childhood."

Sure enough, after Fujii Ren said those words, Sakurai Hotaru's expression changed from calm and composed to stiff.

But before Fujii Ren could finish exposing the other person's evasive words, she continued looking at them and said:

“He acts as if he knows everything, but is mentally abnormally young.”

"Ugh..."

Sakurai Hotaru stared at Fujii Ren in disbelief, involuntarily taking a step back, and letting out an undeniable sob.

These direct words ruthlessly ripped away the facade that revealed Sakurai Hotaru's true self.

So it's already made her break down.

"Furthermore, their combat strength is considered low-level within the [Creation] rank of the Black Round Table."

Since the opponent's true strength was also sealed, Fujii Ren learned how to bully this guy from his senior and Nanami.

"I remember Sister Qi and my senior told me that among the people they fought against the Black Round Table, your [Creation] was the most useless."

After saying that, Fujii Ren turned around and left without paying any attention to what expression Sakurai Hotaru was wearing behind him.

Amidst the inexplicable laughter of some viewers, Sakurai Hotaru looked as if she had been hurt and bullied, her eyes already welling up with tears.

However, because of his strong foundation, he didn't cry.

It was only then that the audience realized that Sakurai Hotaru was indeed exactly the same age as herself.

The fact that Fujii Ren described himself as someone who pretends to be cool to hide his true self, but is mentally abnormally immature, is evident from this.

"You guys might as well just die already."

As Sakurai Hotaru watched Fujii Ren's departing figure, her defenses crumbled by his words, and she gritted her teeth as she offered him her heartfelt 'blessing'.

She clearly didn't dislike Fujii Ren, but he actually tore through her facade and said those words.

She was also quite surprised that Skadi knew her so well and even dared to comment on her like that.

Whose "creation" is the most useless?! I'm very strong too, okay? It's not like she didn't try.

Originally, the Eternal Destruction Technique wouldn't care how hard the user tried.

Judging solely by aptitude, talent, and the ritual of enlightenment is reserved for top-tier individuals.

.........

Today is Saturday, and school only has half a day of classes.

Fujii Ren, having no interest in attending classes, skipped all of them and stayed in a deserted corner of the school.

Because she was worried about what might happen at school, Fujii Ren would skip classes but not leave the school casually.

Even with Skadi at the school, it's the same.

After school, Fujii Ren sat on the ground, closed his eyes, and concentrated.

She's almost reached the highest level of the [Event] rank of the Sacred Relics.

She constantly communicates with the cosmic seed within her body, allowing it to promote evolutionary changes in every cell of her body and even her soul.

From the audience's perspective, the flesh beneath Fujii Ren's skin shimmered with a strange, faint light.

Although tiny, it is dazzling and captivating.

That profound aura was causing Fujii Ren's overall power to undergo a transformation every moment.

Whenever Fujii Ren enters this state, he enters a state of Zen-like stillness, as his senior had described.

I slowly opened my eyes, took out my phone to check the time, and realized we had been in contact for five hours.

Although the power of the [Event] rank is difficult to control, with the help of the complete realm bestowed by Mary and Skadi, Fujii Ren has mastered the power of the [Event] rank relic.

Although Eternal Destruction grows faster through Awakening and Emergence, it doesn't mean that cultivation can't bring about changes in power.

At least the meditation and visualization techniques that Skadi taught Fujii Ren benefited greatly from them.

The girl took a deep breath and then extended her right hand.

Focus your awareness on the area from your shoulders to your fingertips and along its extension, and imagine what it would look like to 'release' something.

That's the guillotine... or rather, the blade of the guillotine, because of countless decapitations, and the endless guillotine technique I learned from Mary, created by my senior Skadi.

Fujii Ren was well aware of the nature and scale of this power, so reproducing that sharpness was no longer a difficult task for her.

However, even Fujii Ren had to admire Kasumi before her. Without the complete mastery of Mary and Skadi, she was no match for their control skills.

Although I thought Xiangchun's knife technique was completely chaotic at the time, aiming at a target with something like that is incredibly difficult.

While this is not something to be praised, and Fujii Ren doesn't want to praise it, it is indeed shocking that he was able to aim all his slashes at her neck.

Whether it was the benefits of kendo or the influence of the other person's stubborn personality... Fujii Ren didn't know.

"Crack——!"

Raising his hand, he pointed to the beverage bottle that had fallen to the ground. A faint black and red light flashed across Fujii Ren's palm. Without seeing anything, he heard the sound of the beverage bottle being neatly cut in two.

The girl looked at the jar that had been split in two, clenched her fist, and truly felt the ferocious power flowing through her body.

This thing applies force in all directions, so if you don't specify a clear direction for it, it might easily cause random occurrences, such as cutting down objects behind it while striking an object in front of it.

To be honest, this thing isn't suitable for protecting other people or objects.

This ferocity, which might indiscriminately attack everything around it, could be described as quite unruly and wild.

Fujii Ren's ability to avoid harming anything unnecessary was something she learned from Skadi, coupled with her continuous comprehension of this complete realm.

"However, mastering the materialized relics still doesn't give me the key to it."

Fujii Ren was not happy about his power; instead, he muttered to himself with some distress.

She didn't have much time to slack off. Her senior would teach her everything she was supposed to, but understanding it depended on the individual.

It is the hardest thing for a person to see their true self. It is okay at the current level, but at the next level, one needs to constantly understand one's own heart, control it, and materialize it into one's own power and ultimate skill.

Although I've read Hotaru Sakurai's "The Formation," what about my own?

To solidify an inner attack into a physical form? If only it were that simple.

Fujii Ren hates knives, so materializing a guillotine is not a good fit for her.

"Moreover, to use Mary to...slaughter."

Fujii Ren unconsciously touched her neck. Although it was covered with foundation, the scar would not disappear.

The girl harbored some resistance to using a gentle and kind girl like Mary to commit murder.

The other person is radiant and warm, and you don't want them to be stained with blood. The subjective intention to kill someone is completely different from being killed passively because of a curse.

The resentful power within the relic did not originate from Mary, who showed no trace of evil.

Rather, it stemmed from the resentment and grievances of those who had been beheaded, as many people died unjustly during the French Revolution.

Relics devour souls and become stronger the more you kill, so trying to suppress the killing wormhole after merging with them is tantamount to suicide.

These pure and innocent souls took the brunt of her suffering, bringing her a soul quantity equivalent to that of hundreds of people. Combined with the soul quantity absorbed by the sacred relic itself, it was actually quite substantial.

Although Skadi would grant Ren Fujii soul points if she were willing to ask, Ren Fujii couldn't bring herself to waste the souls of innocent people on her own affairs.

She had her own plan: to defeat the initial enemy on her own, and then continuously collect the souls of the defeated enemies for her own use.

While the amount of soul energy is important, ultimately it depends on the intensity of one's desire and the feedback from the cosmic seed within one's body.
