I'll kill you after I finish this game!

"Ka-ka-ka-"

Suddenly, the sky seemed to be distorted into a singularity by an invisible force to a degree visible to the naked eye. The calm space began to fluctuate like the sea surface, turning the stable space into a high-risk area.

Upon seeing the dark singularity appear in the sky, countless people panicked and rioted, scrambling to escape towards the emergency evacuation point.

"Daddy...where are you? It hurts so much...Daddy..."

Among the countless people scrambling to escape, a girl was knocked to the ground and even unconsciously kicked by one of the fleeing people. The hovering robots responsible for maintaining order and stability wanted to go and help, but there were too many panicked people around.

Fujii Ren raised an eyebrow, preparing to secretly help the little girl, but as if sensing something, she calmly held back, just like Skadi.

Just as the girl was about to be trampled by others, a special kind of magic suddenly passed through the crowded throng, followed by a pair of large hands reaching out, grabbing the little girl by the back of her collar, quickly lifting her up, and then holding her in their arms.

"It's okay now."

The girl turned her head in a daze and saw a thin man with short, black hair holding her in his arms.

However, the voice came from the mouth of the beautiful girl with long black hair beside him. She smiled and patted her head to soothe her panic.

"Thank you, big brother, big sister..."

"It's alright, I'll take you to your father right away."

A glint flashed in the black-haired man's eyes, and he immediately locked onto the middle-aged man who was shouting and calling out his daughter's name against the flow of the crowd with an anxious expression.

After finding the girl's father, blue and white magical light appeared on his arms as he held the girl, and then he gently and skillfully tossed the little girl away.

The girl was startled at first, but she also realized that although she had been thrown out, she was floating slowly and steadily toward her father.

"Ah, Yunnai!!!"

The man, searching against the flow of the crowd for his lost daughter, was overjoyed to see her float over the heads of the crowd and appear before him.

He hugged her tightly, tears streaming down his face, murmuring his gratitude to God.

"Brother, shouldn't we seek refuge?"

A subtle, repulsive energy field emanated from her, setting her apart from the others. The black-haired girl, Shiba Miyuki, smiled slightly as she watched the girl reunite with her father. Then, she followed her brother and walked in the opposite direction from the crowd.

The young man beside the black-haired girl shook his head expressionlessly, looked up at the singularity in the distant sky where energy lightning was shooting out, and said calmly and seriously:

"Staying in the underground refuge space is not very safe. The energy released by the abnormal creatures that have appeared is enough to dig the city hundreds of feet underground."

Therefore, we have no choice but to face the danger directly. Staying in the cramped underground space would probably only allow us to passively take a beating.

As for the people taking refuge below, once the situation is resolved, safety and stability will naturally follow.

Moreover, the troops who want to switch departments will arrive shortly afterward.

“Woo——!”

A long, distorted, and piercing cry rang out and spread out. To the slight surprise of the young man and woman, a colossal creature resembling a combination of a tortoise and a dragon emerged from the torn spatial singularity, its massive head casting a shadow that covered the earth.

It has several pairs of scarlet compound eyes on its head, and its huge body is like a super-large island, so it is supported by four huge limbs that reach the sky like pillars.

The moment the giant foot of the other side stepped onto the earth, a massive earthquake generated a shockwave visible to the naked eye, blasting and destroying city buildings.

Moreover, on the black and red dragon turtle behemoth, there were many black and red flying monster fish hovering around its huge body, shrieking as they died.

Trouble...

Upon seeing this level of ferocity, even Shiba Tatsuya, who had drawn his gun-shaped magical aid device CAD, felt overwhelmed. He was capable of surviving such a city-destroying attack by alien creatures on his own.

However, his sister and the people who had taken refuge deep underground could not guarantee his safety.

“唳————!!!”

Before Shiba Tatsuya could think any further, the two, struggling against the violent tremors beneath their feet, were spotted by the dense swarms of alien creatures hovering in the sky, which swooped down towards them with shrill cries.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang..."

The siblings, now equipped with magical aids, immediately launched a counterattack against the attacking monsters. Shiba Tatsuya's decomposition magic dissipated, and each time he pulled the trigger, the approaching monsters were decomposed into molecules or ions.

The girl, on the other hand, used the CAD device to spread out an extremely cold freezing area, creating an ice barrier that was both offensive and defensive using wide-area cooling magic.

However, this level of attack is utterly inadequate compared to the number of monsters constantly flying out from the giant dragon turtle.

The sheer number of the enemy put pressure on the two of them, especially Shiba Tatsuya. If it weren't for the innocent civilians and his own sister, he would have already blasted them with a mass burst.

However, because this move generates enormous and uncontrollable energy due to its massive mass, a single misstep could result in a disastrous outcome, so it cannot be used recklessly.

But if this continues, we'll be completely surrounded, and once the magical energy within us is depleted, we're doomed.

Therefore, when faced with the choice between the safety of other members of the public and the safety of his own sister, Shiba Tatsuya, as the older brother, did not hesitate to choose the latter.

But just as he was about to take action, a chilling energy reaction suddenly struck him.

"I take refuge in all Tathagatas! All faces and gates! In all places! Whoever shouts and breaks through obstacles! Whoever is violent and wrathful! Whoever obstructs all things! Destroy them!"

"【——Hurry, hurry, as the law commands——】"

boom----! ! !

A surge of heat that made the Shiba siblings feel like they were about to evaporate transformed into a sea of ​​fire that blotted out the sun, instantly engulfing the countless alien creatures in the sky.

The bright sun wipes out all evil spirits.

The terrifying flames engulfed everything, even the frozen domain spread by Shiba Miyuki was evaporated into water vapor and dissipated.

The magical energy reaction that caused this terrifying heat flow effect also made Shiba Tatsuya feel extremely terrified, because this terrifying heat flow was completely and consciously avoiding the two of them.

The fact that the user can maintain such control over this strategic-level technique is enough to demonstrate the skill of the one who unleashed it.

"What are you two standing there for, sticking together like that? Get out of here!"

An annoyed shout came from the sky behind them. Turning around and looking up, they saw a petite girl with black hair in twin ponytails wearing a strange white uniform and holding some talismans in her right hand, glaring at them with an annoyed expression.

The immense power emanating from their opponent filled the Shiba siblings with dread.

Because he maintained this explosive, nuclear-powered technique, his face showed no signs of fatigue or exhaustion; he exerted his strength as casually as if he were breathing.

Just how many magical elements are inside this girl?!

The Shiba siblings couldn't help but think this as they immediately retreated towards the distance of the battlefield.

But just as the two were quickly evacuating, Shiba Tatsuya noticed something strange out of the corner of his eye: how come there was still an intact restaurant in the city that had been reduced to ruins?

In a daze, he seemed to see two figures by the restaurant window, but they vanished in the blink of an eye.

"That girl, is it Yumen Ryusui?"

When Fujii Ren, who was standing by the restaurant window, saw the girl's figure and face, he immediately remembered who she was.

Skadi nodded, put down her tea, and looked at the scene outside, saying:

"After all, they had experienced battles and constant reincarnations on the fourth day, and their souls and strength were almost fully recovered."

Unlike Skadi Nanami, Mikado Ryusui did not have someone accelerate her recovery process, so she needed to go through reincarnation to complete her soul.

Even Reinhard, after his great battle with Fujii Ren, was in a weakened state after his reincarnation and needed time to recover. However, because the Pure Land needed him, his recovery process was accelerated.

Yumen Ryusui, during the fierce battle on the fourth day, his opponent did indeed die once.

"I also sensed another being possessing the might of the god of death..."

Fujii Ren's expression was strange. She was very sensitive to the power of the God of Death, after all, it was something that her good brother Makina from her previous life was good at.

This time, she sensed the power of the god of death, which, although similar to that of Makina, was different.

After all, she hadn't fought with any of the guys who had become seekers of death on the fourth day; they had only met a few times.

“That’s Matilda’s person, so she’s one of us.”

Skadi said nonchalantly, but her eyes were fixed on the singularity rift from which the giant monster had been teleported, tracing its origin to a figure wearing a black hood and with a fanatical expression.

The appearance of this alien creature must be related to the other party.

so......

"Tear-!"

Skadi raised her hand, and quantum light surged from her fingertips, easily piercing through space and time, allowing her slender, fair arm to reach inside.

When he reached out again, he produced a woman's severed head, still displaying a fanatical expression, right before Fujii Ren's raised eyebrows.

"Uh...I..."

Faced with the sudden change in the scene before her, and the inability to feel her own body, the still-living female head's expression shifted from fervor to bewilderment.

Upon seeing Fujii Ren and Skadi, his expression changed drastically, and he was about to say something when Skadi casually crushed him into pieces and threw them into the trash can.

"Have you received any information?"

Not paying much attention to the woman Skadi killed, Fujii Ren looked at Skadi, whose brows were slightly furrowed, and immediately realized that Skadi had obtained information from that woman's thoughts.

After organizing the information she had gleaned from that woman's head, Skadi gently brushed a strand of white hair behind her ear and said:

"That alien creature was created by humans. The one outside was just a test subject. These guys with ulterior motives did get access to some secrets through external channels."

The enormous creatures raging outside were nothing to Skadi and Ren Fujii.

However, what the two women cared about was the essence of that monster, which contained a great deal of anger, resentment, and filth, and had polluted the world when it came into existence.

In Fujii Ren's view, this thing was more like a highly polluting bomb; the monster's inner contents could completely corrupt the soul.

The creation of this clearly malicious contraption was also something Skadi discovered was produced by the organization behind that woman.

This technology was not developed by them on their own, but obtained through special external channels.

"It feels a bit like exorcising demons..."

As Skadi pondered this, she lowered her head, and the power of the Eight Great Truths ignited in her palms, a power she hadn't felt in a long time.

The girl thought of the world where the source of this power was located, where there existed a demon called Demon Slayer Buridora.

Just like the Honkai Beasts in the Honkai world, they are something hostile to other life forms.

The enormous dragon turtle outside, with its body emitting black and red aura and light, looked very much like the creature Skadi remembered.

"Should we investigate the origin of this organism?"

Fujii Ren pointed to the giant alien creature outside that had already been hunted down and asked Skadi for a question.

If it's related to their goals, then we should follow that lead; that's her idea.

However, Skadi shook her head at her and directly told Fujii Ren her thoughts, saying:

“We have investigated many worlds, and there are a lot of things they have spread to confuse us. Those guys can always get ahead of us and dodge us. If that God of Seeking the Way wants to hide, it is completely impossible to do so openly.”
