I'll kill you after I finish this game!

[Alucard]: 'Give it your all' is a simple wish, but it is something that Nanami, who is so strong that she is beyond the common sense of the world, cannot obtain. I don't mean to look down on this goddess, it's just that I simply can't see what kind of 'obsession' or 'desire' she has.

[Suppress your feelings]: Although she has developed her own feelings compared to the beginning, whether it is domineering or seeking the Tao, it requires a desire that is obsessive to the point of madness, right? I also cannot see the intensity of the goddess's desire.

【DIO】: It seems that the Lord of the Seat not only has the purpose of contacting women he likes, but also wants to transform the goddess. This responsibility now belongs to Fujii Ren.

[Belial]: Although the power of the gods is incomprehensible, compared to other god candidates, apart from that troublesome decapitation curse... her combat power is practically nonexistent, right?

[Red Kai]: Belial... Although what you said is true, it doesn't stop him from having powerful backers. Putting aside the fact that Fujii Ren is the goddess's protector, don't forget that Skadi is also on the goddess's side.

【Jugglus】: Hmph... Skadi and Ren Fujii will definitely not compete with the goddess for that seat. Matilda is also interested but is being targeted by Skadi. Reinhardt will probably be targeted by Ren Fujii as well.

[Goddess of Wisdom]: Um...it seems I forgot about Nanami...

[Ultimate Life Form]: Fool! Her principle of destruction that prevents creation is something that no one is aware of, and even if she herself is unaware of it, no one else would ever allow her to take the seat!

[Dark Zagi]: Hmph... If Skadi can defeat Matilda and Ren Fujii can defeat Reinhardt, the chances of this goddess taking the throne are not small at all.

【Lord of the Invisible Empire】: I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of 'reason' this goddess will use and what kind of new world she will create.

After much analysis by many viewers, it became clear that in order for Mary to inherit the throne, she must be transformed into a domineering figure.

However, given Mary's preconceived notion of being a princess, many people did not expect that she would be designated as the successor by the current ruler.

Some people, whose strength is not as great as Mary's innate strength and whose character is ambitious, although they revere the greatness of the God of Seeking the Way, dislike Mary's gentle and loving nature. Most people neither reject nor appreciate her.

Ninety-nine percent of those who dislike Mary, both in appearance and personality, are women.

Men with strong opinions and mature thinking, as long as their personalities aren't extremely twisted, don't dislike Mary. After all, Mary's maternal instincts truly make men feel no aggression.

I simply can't bring myself to like her personality.

Many people have realized that Marie is a complete nonviolent advocate.

People who have experienced the harsh realities of life and have accumulated a certain amount of life experience don't dislike Mary as a person, but they can't bring themselves to like her personality.

Because of the goddess's personality, she is at a great disadvantage. No matter how kind and gentle the other party is, there will definitely be ungrateful scoundrels and madmen who deny the kindness of others in the world... no... in countless worlds.

They didn't want to see such a person taint the goddess's gentleness, so they genuinely couldn't accept Mary's character.

Let's get back to the video.

Fujii Ren wanted to ask more questions about Skadi-senpai. By this time, she had developed a sense of sympathy for Skadi, since they were in the same boat.

But seeing Mary's somber expression, it was clear she was unwilling to recall those past events.

It must have been something that happened between her and Skadi.

Fujii Ren, who cared about and was concerned about Mary's feelings, was prepared to suppress her curiosity and stop asking Mary questions. However, Mary lowered her head and said in a low, sad voice:

“Once, Titi was like Ren, but... back then I didn't understand many things, and I didn't 'grasp' her like I do now..."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Fujii Ren fell silent. Even the most oblivious person could sense the guilt in Mary's tone.

Mary felt guilty because she knew exactly what she had done wrong, or what she had missed.

It was only at this moment that Lian realized she had never truly understood Skadi; ​​she only knew that Skadi would help her, was a reliable senior, and was also someone who accompanied Mary.

That's all there is to it; there's no chance to delve deeper into the rest.

Just from Mary's words, she knew that Skadi had probably been in the same situation as she had just been.

However, Mary back then was not like she is now; she did not understand what a 'heart' was.

Mary would say that she didn't 'catch' Skadi, which means that she didn't pull Skadi back as she did now, just as she pulled Lian back.

It can be said that Fujii Ren and Skadi were on the same path, but took different paths after learning the truth.

"lotus..."

Calling Ren's name, Mary suddenly grabbed Fujii Ren's hand, her emerald green eyes filled with fear and sadness as she looked at him, pleading:

“Although Titi has broken up with me, she was once my comrade, and I can feel her weariness, similar to Cagliostro’s… Please ‘catch’ her for me.”

tired?

Upon hearing this, Fujii Ren frowned. She really hadn't noticed anything unusual about Skadi-senpai. No... Mary wasn't referring to anything physical, but rather something mental.

However, Fujii Ren couldn't figure out what happened to Skadi, because even though the two looked similar but different, she couldn't imagine how dejected and lost Skadi would have been if Mary hadn't been there.

Similarly, it's impossible to imagine what will happen to Skadi.

However... but based on Mary's intuition, she immediately sensed something ominous.

..........

Within the singularity of the seat, the Mercury Serpent gazed at the deep, dark expanse of the distant cosmic starry sky, then looked at the water mirror before it, which reflected the scene of a beach at dusk.

Seeing the interaction between Fujii Ren and Mary, and their drastically changed relationship, he revealed a smile that was more like a grimace.

But since Mercury Serpent loved Mary, he truly loved her with all his heart and soul, and naturally hoped that she could be happy.

He loves Mary, but he won't resort to any means to force her to love him.

However, no matter what, he would do everything in his power to hope that she could live and be happy, even if the person who would bring her happiness was not him.

Whether it's jealousy or resentment, as long as Mary exists, even if she scolds him every day and refuses to forgive him, he is willing to hear her voice.

Maybe she really is a simp, but no one can doubt the quality of Mercury Serpent [Love], which is definitely no less than that of Fujii Ren.

"This kindness, how wonderful—is precisely your domineering nature."

The mercury serpent, sharing a soul with Fujii Ren, propped its cheek against the water mirror and gazed longingly at Mary, saying:

"A world where the extraordinary cannot exist, goddess, is this what you desire? I accept it and keep it in my heart."

Having said that, he shut down the water mirror and cut off the observation, ignoring the three martial gods who were fighting in a distant place, and looked at a certain golden alternate dimension near the central world.

Looking at Reinhardt, who was equally bored, propping up his handsome, flawless profile as he sat on his demonic throne awaiting his final day, he chuckled and said:

"Then, it's your turn, Beast Lord. I've fulfilled my promise. With your full strength, leading your army..."

That's right, with all my heart, with all my mind, with all my strength.

Zarathustra went into battle and then seized victory.

Even if what you are facing is a hellish mass that has expanded to an immeasurable size.

Ren Fujii and Mary cannot lose.

"And there are you all..."

Then the Mercury Serpent looked towards the depths of the central universe, where Skadi and Matilda were facing off, and said with amusement:

"Awakened ones, lead those whose roles have been played out to leave the stage. What follows is the goddess's solo dance."

The friend's daughter will consciously bury all unfavorable factors and completely pass the baton to Zarathustra.

We feel tired, just like you.

Let us begin a new story in this new world together.

P.S.: I was going to take the day off today because I had a cold and fever and needed to go to a small clinic for an IV drip, but the doctor was busy and the clinic was closed. I only managed to update 4,000 words today, I'm so sorry everyone... I've done my best for now, my head is still foggy...

Chapter Nine: Yzak, the Human Sacrifice, and Reinhardt's Die-Hard Otherworldly 'Fans'

"Well----"

Fujii Ren instantly sat up abruptly and opened his eyes wide.

The scene before his eyes was not unfamiliar; it was the interior of his own and Yuzashi Wolf's den, which was the Suwahara Club.

Fujii Ren shook his head and stood up from the sofa. He immediately saw Yuza Shirou, who was smoking, walking over with a smile and saying:

"Oh, you're awake. Did you sleep well?"

"Um......"

Fujii Ren smiled and responded to the other person.

Yuza Shirou raised an eyebrow, sensing that Fujii Ren had undergone changes upon waking that he couldn't discern from his appearance.

Now that Fujii Ren has rediscovered her true self, she is no longer naive. No matter how desperate the situation she faces, she will not give up.

Because Mary was by her side, connected to her soul.

Fujii Ren took a deep breath, looked at Yuza Shirou with a resolute expression, and said, "Let's go, I'm going to take down those troublemakers."

"learn."

Silang didn't waste any words and agreed with a light laugh.

The two acted swiftly, without much preparation, and headed directly to the location where they had arranged to meet the enemy.

The priest told Lian that she had to go on the night of the final battle.

Wait a minute, Skadi-senpai, Reia-senpai, we all need to go back together.

.......

the other side.

"Theresia... Theresia... Theresia!"

The sudden shift in perspective, the newly revealed location, and the low, guttural calls startled all the viewers.

Because I had never seen this unfamiliar place before, and it felt like I was inside the belly of some giant creature.

This place is filled with countless undead skeletons, which have built a terrifying lair here.

The owner of the voice was, in the eyes of countless viewers, a handsome blond boy.

Although he appeared harmless and was very handsome and refined, his condition was quite frightening.

Long, golden hair cascaded down her back, shoulders, and front. Her fair, youthful body was completely naked, her upper body bare.

No, or rather, it blended into the surrounding environment of the piles of dead bodies.

This boy with long, blond hair had only an intact upper body, while his lower body was skeletal and connected to the surrounding environment. His arms were also integrated into the bone walls.

This gruesome scene, resembling some kind of cult ritual, brought two words to the minds of many viewers.

That is... a life-saving offering and a human pillar.

The former involves offering human or animal life as a sacrifice to the gods in prayer.
