I'll kill you after I finish this game!

The goal is to unite ordinary people into a cohesive group with maximum efficiency, before they become wary.

Therefore, what remains in the end are either places that were never meant to gather large numbers of people, or places where people who cannot leave no matter what happens.

In this sense, schools today belong to the latter category.

Everyone was like a puppet on a string; no matter how heavy the rain or how bad the fire, they would always go to school.

If we reason from these events, we can see the answer.

"Ugh......"

Si Lang stubbed out his cigarette, a wry smile on his face.

There are three most dangerous places now, only one of which is their favorite target.

The school is not the next target of the Black Round Table; they realized that.

so......

"So……"

Suddenly, Silang raised his hand and pressed his index and middle fingers together to his temple, using the method taught to him by Fujii Ren to make a signal.

Are you really not afraid of being crushed like a worm? Do you think you're too weak to attract their attention?

A clear, cold voice echoed in his mind. Even from a considerable distance, Si Lang's own mental energy could feel as if he were connected to the entire universe.

With no end in sight and no concept of a flat earth or a round sky, one can only deeply feel one's own insignificance.

Are all those monsters this level?

Yuzashiro thought with a wry smile that he could sense that the other party could crush him with mental power from a distance, and was cautiously trying to contact his tiny mental signal.

After all, it's difficult to control the force when stepping on an ant without crushing it.

"Senior, there's no safe corner on Earth. I, your little brother, don't want to be a refugee. As for feelings and all that... you should understand me, right?"

Yuza Shirou said helplessly yet frankly, "Anyway, he's the kind of guy who wouldn't run away. It's better to let him die sooner rather than hide behind a woman."

No matter what, he still has a little bit of male pride.

What kind of image is it to always be protected by Lian?

[Since you know... heh, I suppose you're not afraid of death either. How about you go and die for a while? You'll gain the power to fight them.]

Skadi's voice became subtle and intriguing; although there was no mockery or teasing in her tone, the words themselves were extremely vicious.

Since Yuza Shirou wants to get involved in this matter, but doesn't have the power to fight against the enemy, Skadi has a very good solution.

"My dear sister, tell me more~~"

Upon hearing that he could gain the power to fight against the enemy, Shiro completely ignored Skadi's words telling him to go die and instead flattered her in a cheeky and thuggish manner, like a scoundrel.

Skadi was silent for a moment. Although she didn't say anything, Shiro could still sense the disdain emanating from her.

However, the other party didn't bother arguing with Silang and directly revealed a plan.

[You're currently only a half-baked player, lacking a high-quality artifact. Luckily, the Black Round Table and the others already possess one. All you need to do is...]

Skadi gave Yuzashiro a solution: have him killed by members of the Black Round Table.

After being absorbed as soul energy, they went into the depths of their souls and stole their sacred relics.

Skadi could actually handcraft a relic for the other party, but why wouldn't she be happy to severely injure and disable the Black Round Table, which was no longer cooperating with her?

What? Yuzashi's Wolf Spirit is inferior to that of the Black Round Table members?

This is indeed a problem. After all, cultivating Eternal Destruction, besides plundering soul energy as fuel to strengthen oneself, also allows one's soul quality to surpass that of celestial bodies, galaxies, and star rivers as one progresses through the ranks of Eternal Destruction...

However, since Yuza Shirou can sense a certain level of awareness, his soul potential is beyond question. All that's left is for Skadi to give him a little help.

[I'll lend you this for now. It contains my power. Once you succeed, use it to steal the target's relic and form a contract!]

Om-!

After Skadi finished speaking, a spatial wormhole vortex appeared in front of Yuzashiro, from which a blue-white orb of light slowly floated out.

Thinking about the extremely risky... no, the extremely dangerous plan that Skadi had told him, Yuzashiro smiled happily.

Looking at the jade of light floating in front of him, he reached out and clenched it in his palm.

The stream of light easily entered his body through his palm, and an artifact appeared inside him. The method of using it and the experience were also passed on to Yuzashirou.

"Hehe, I got a divine artifact before even leaving the newbie village."

Yuzashiro absorbed the experience Skadi had given him in using the special weapon, and after reading the instructions, he let out a cheerful whistle.

With this help, he was nearly 70% confident of success.

If he can successfully plunder the relics of the Black Round Table, he will be able to overcome his current weakness and lack of power.

As for what to do now, in any case, since you know she didn't go to school, you shouldn't show up here and bother Lian anymore.

Yuzashiro must return to the place where the 'guest' is waiting.

Well, let's rest now and get our energy back. We'll see each other soon.

The idiot's bad luck is terrible, but I think it should be fine.

Silang laughed happily, turned around, and disappeared into the campus.

P.S.: As more nodes open, it will be when Ren and Shirou reach the [Creation] rank and achieve Tai Chi with the Dawn Clan. The issue of the Dawn Clan being suppressed is something that, before they achieved Tai Chi in the Divine Curse and Divine Might arc, they always seemed to be the ones being bullied. The author didn't show favoritism towards anyone; after all, their opponent was Skadi's self-destruct factor, Nanami, a truly exceptional being...

Chapter 54 Tohka and Raize, the only ones that cannot be compared even in the multiverse

Everything was about to enter a point of no return, and the ordinary people of Suwahara City continued to live their lives as always.

Although the decapitation killer has not been apprehended, there seem to be no more decapitation incidents recently.

I don't know if things have calmed down, but the whole city has entered a kind of uneasy, quiet routine.

No one can rest easy. If the incident isn't resolved, who knows if they might be the next victim?

This feeling of unease and restlessness lingered in Tohka Yatogami's body for a long time.

She went alone to a secluded place, someone's restaurant, and indulged in a feast.

It's as if you want to shake off and drown all your unpleasant emotions by eating delicious food.

"...Dad, can't all of this stop?"

Yatogami Tohka lowered her head and ate the fragrant grilled meat, then spoke clearly to the man in front of her, pouring out her feelings.

She herself could not stop what was happening in front of her, but in her heart there was an all-powerful father, a father who gave her a happy childhood.

The audience was slightly surprised when they heard Tohka call the man "father".

No one expected that the delicate girl next to Skadi was actually the same person who was once on par with the Golden Beast.

Sitting at the Toshika dining table, Rai Zhe looked at the daughter he had raised with his own hands, and a feeling that only comes with old age kept growing in his heart.

Even though this scene has been repeated countless times, it is not unfamiliar to Razer.

The pale blue eyes that reflected Tohka's beautiful figure were both weathered and kind, as if they had endured unimaginable years of trials and tribulations.

"Ever since Tohka left my side, answering Mary and Skadi's call and actively asking to get involved in their affairs, I've tried to dissuade you, saying you'd face many difficulties in the future..."

As he spoke, he skillfully added rice to Tohka's bowl. Looking at the girl before him, who seemed to be seeking comfort from her father, Raizetsu said softly:

"Tohka said she's grown up and can be independent now. I told you from the beginning about this cycle stage play; it can't stop until it reaches the end of Nayuta. But... you only said you wanted to help Skadi and Marie back then. How far have your feelings for each other gotten now?"

"Ugh... I don't want Titi to die."

When the topic of romantic relationships came up, Tohka immediately raised her head and glared angrily at Raiji.

Yes, Skadi and Tohka's relationship originated from a summoning, and the intensity of their feelings stemmed from their interactions.

Her feelings for Skadi's companions, her unspoken, naive emotions for Luo Xiu, and in short, her feelings for Skadi as a complex individual were all incredibly complex.

Upon hearing that Skadi had decided on her own demise, Tohka Yatogami felt a tightness in her chest and felt very uncomfortable.

But she didn't know how to tell her father directly, or how to ask him for help.

And at this time...

【Hmph, let me do it!】

Suddenly, a cold, disappointed voice echoed in Tohka's mind.

Before Tohka could react, her delicate body began to circulate the spiritual energy, using the method of using the Hell God of War that Skadi had taught her.

A girl with purple hair and dark purple eyes, who gradually became clearer and looked exactly like Tohka, but with an incredibly strong and fierce aura, appeared beside the other person.

Snapped!

The other person slammed both hands on the table as soon as they appeared, glaring at Lei Zhe with a fierce yet adorable expression, and said:

"You old geezer, you spout all that high-sounding principles, but are you actually willing to lend a hand? You clearly have the power to rewrite everything."

Others may not know how strong this man is, but how could she, the tenth particle with a profound connection to his Kabbalah Tree, not know?

"Tianxiang, you can't do this to Dad..."

"You little glutton, shut up!"

Seeing her other personality emerge, Tohka felt it was impolite and wrong to speak to her father like that. She was about to stop him when she was glared at by Yatogami Tenka, who, despite being the younger sister, had the aura of the older sister.

Having been glared at and having all her aura suppressed, Tohka timidly shrank back. In terms of assertiveness, she was truly no match for her other personality.

"The power to rewrite...everything?"

Seeing his daughter's other personality emerge, Lei Zhe showed no surprise or astonishment. Instead, his eyes held an indescribable emotion as he repeated the other person's words in a low voice.

Finally, as if remembering something, his expression returned to its usual calm and indifference, and he stared intently at Tianxiang, asking:

"So, after you've rewritten it, what are your next steps?"

"W-what?"

"Don't you understand? I can promise you to stop all of this, but what are you going to do after that? You've sketched out the scene you want, like a painting on a canvas, and what are you going to do next?"

Lei Zhe spoke in a calm and deep voice, giving Tianxiang a very clear choice.

If one uses their power to personally depict the perfect ending and happy outcome that others desire, how should one proceed from there?
