Everyone stared at the Heavenly Prison Gate on the screen, which remained perfectly upright even after taking a powerful attack. Their eyes were practically overflowing with amazement, and they couldn't help but nod in agreement.
This is right!
This is what a rule-based ultimate move like the Heavenly Prison Gate should look like. No matter how fancy your skills are, once you're inside, you'll have to obediently be digested!
Unlike Sister Men, who looks like a trainee who has only been in the industry for two and a half years and whose professional skills are questionable, she still managed to get the Demon King to come out.
P.S.: After glancing at the comments, I think we should take a break from isekai anime for now.
The next chapter might return to everyday life, such as Azur Lane Season 2, or Gan Cheng San Shao, or Ben Ce.
As for the guy who said "god-like hen card," forget it. This show is just too amazing. My assessment is: you can't see a single human being in it... pregnant...
Chapter 1302 That's great! I saved you this time!!!
"Then, the caster..."
After defeating the Demon King, the next day, the bloodied statue of the god at the prison gate glared at Seiya, a strange smile spreading across its lips as it sneered, "It's time for you to pay the price!"
"The price is your life—!!"
Before he could finish speaking, Seiya's body suddenly seemed to lose all its strength; his legs buckled and he collapsed uncontrollably to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Ristarte's heart stopped, and without thinking, she rushed forward to shield him, spreading her arms like a mother bird protecting her chicks: "It's alright! Seiya, I'll save you again!"
She placed her hands on Seiya's face, divine power surging forth, and an emerald green light enveloped his body...
But the next second, Ristarte's smile froze on her face: "How could this be? This is different from before."
[The knife-like lacerations that Seiya had suffered before were gone; instead, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on his body.]
These cracks were spreading at a visible rate, creeping up the neck to the limbs, and wherever they went, the flesh beneath the skin seemed to be decaying rapidly.
"I can't keep up... the speed of the collapse is far faster than my healing..." Ristarte's voice trembled with tears as she channeled her divine power more and more frantically, but it was still no use.
"Hahaha—" The eerie laughter of the Heavenly Prison Gate echoed in the air like a ghost, "Don't think that mere humans can escape the Heavenly Prison Gate twice over!"
"Oh no, oh no... No wonder the Heavenly Prison Gate's service is so good, and they even offer after-sales support! The reason is simple: their appearance fee is expensive!!"
"Hey, Brother Men! I was wrong, I was really wrong. How about this, the price is still the same, how about installments? We can split it over a hundred or two hundred years, and you can calculate the interest however you want!"
"Tsk, don't push your luck. I have connections in this other world too. Don't push me too far, or else... don't force me to kneel down and beg you."
As everyone watched the cracks spreading across Seiya's body on the screen, it was like watching a piece of porcelain about to shatter; their hearts clenched, and many unconsciously clenched their fists.
Oh no, that installment payment scheme the intern Sister Men used last time probably wasn't based on market price at all. Now the real culprit is showing up and demanding full payment upfront...
The goddess has almost exhausted all her divine power, yet the rate of collapse is still unstoppable. This isn't just paying a price; it's forcing the cautious hero to declare bankruptcy and liquidation!
Gintama World
"This time, the price is my life—!!" Shinpachi's eyes widened in disbelief: "Couldn't we have paid with HP like before...?"
Mr. Tianyumen, please don't do this!!!
This cautious brave man is a long-time customer, so you should give him some discounts, like an installment payment option.
Look how readily he paid last time. If someone dies this time, who will dare to use your ultimate move in the future?
Just like the Shiki-no-Kami sealer in the next movie set, because he was so ruthless, he would pack up and take the caster away after using it.
The results of it?
Now he doesn't even get a chance to play, and he's lost his job!
Therefore, we must emphasize scientific development and take a long-term, steady approach – that's the key, President of Tianyumen!
"Muda, Shinpachi-kun." Katsura crossed his arms and slowly shook his head, his tone tinged with regret and profound wisdom. "A life taken away, even Kami (god) can't bring it back, unless..."
"Kazura-san." Shinpachi sighed dejectedly, his head drooping.
"If it's an old-fashioned concept like Seven B-Dragon, Heavenly B-Gar, or a time machine, then there's no need to say anything!"
"I'm really not in the mood to complain right now."
"Baka yarou—!" Katsura opened his eyes and shouted sternly, "Do you think I would joke about something as serious as this, Shinpachi-kun?"
"What a joke! Don't underestimate my Bushido!"
Shinpachi quickly snapped out of his sadness and sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry, Kazura-san."
Yes, even these usually unreliable guys can tell the atmosphere right in a situation like this.
The wig nodded, sat back down on the sofa, cleared his throat, and continued, "A life taken away cannot be brought back, even by a god, unless..."
Images began to flash through his mind—
A radiant figure stood before Seiya, slowly extending his hand: "Hero from another world, open your eyes! I am Shafulin! I have given you a second life."
"Something like this, ah...!"
Before he could finish speaking, three dark figures flew over and stomped him to the ground without any mercy, cursing and stomping on him relentlessly.
"What cosmic superman? What Shafulin?! I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about!"
"Someone's died, and you're already trying to sense the situation, you idiot, you airhead!"
The wig, clutching its head with both hands, howled as it was being stomped on, yet stubbornly insisted, "A samurai's intuition is never wrong... This move works really well in the Land of Light... Ouch, ouch, ouch!"
The wig's painful wails temporarily eased the sadness of the Yorozuya members—albeit in an extremely chaotic way.
Ristarte concentrated all her divine power in her palm, the light tightly enveloping Seiya's crumbling body, but it was all in vain.
Her prized self-healing ability was now like ice thrown into lava; it barely repaired a crack before being completely swallowed up by the surging collapse, serving no purpose whatsoever.
“What… what is going on…” Ristarte’s voice choked with sobs: “Seiya saved the world, please save him!”
"Ha ha ha ha..." In response to Lisda's pleading, the eerie laughter of the Heavenly Prison Gate echoed in the air: "I am a messenger of the Underworld; the price must be executed fairly and strictly."
[As soon as the words were spoken, a thick white miasma suddenly billowed out from around the Heavenly Prison Gate, vanishing without a trace from the dark space.]
"Ristha, leave this place and return to the Unified Divine Realm!" Eluru cried out anxiously, "Go to a place where the Chain Souls are not causing destruction!"
In that case, even if Master dies, he will simply return to his original world and won't completely disappear...
[Lista's vision blurred with tears: "No, if I stop healing for even a moment now, Seiya's body will shatter!"]
Without her divine power, those cracks would act like ignited explosives, instantly tearing Seiya's body to shreds, let alone opening the portal to the divine realm.
"Good news, the Heavenly Prison Gate is gone, and the Demon King is truly gone; bad news, the Cautious Hero is also nearing his end..."
Everyone stared at the Heavenly Prison Gate that had vanished without a trace, and sighed helplessly—this guy really showed no mercy, taking the price and then leaving.
This time it's truly hopeless. There's not even a chance like last time to exploit a bug and pay in installments. The backlash from the rules is like a leech, clinging to the bone tightly.
Emiya Family's Meal World
"The Heavenly Prison Gate is an envoy of the Underworld??" Rin Tohsaka crossed her arms, her fingertips unconsciously tapping her upper arm. "Although it's a different world, the Underworld's taste is really terrible."
Ilya tilted her head in confusion, her silver hair slipping down her shoulder with the movement: "So, the Grim Reaper from before really was sent back home?"
"..." Shirou's lips twitched involuntarily as he listened to the two people's off-topic focus.
It's no wonder they come from a family of magicians; at a time like this, they're still agonizing over the aesthetic tastes and working methods of the Underworld. Their focus is quite peculiar.
In contrast, Cú Chulainn, sitting on the carpet, was much more composed. His crimson eyes reflected the collapsed figure of Seiya on the screen as he sighed with a complex tone.
"Saving another world, only to be left helplessly waiting to die in the end, sounds so ironic."
He was a hero who teetered on the brink of destruction to snatch the entire world back from the Demon King, but now he can only helplessly wait for death.
“Perhaps he foresaw this situation.” Red A leaned against the door and said in a deep voice, “But he would rather bear the cost himself than let the world be destroyed.”
Saber looked thoughtfully at Ristarte on the screen as she desperately resisted the Honkai, a heavy feeling gradually settling over her azure eyes.
The hero who saved the world ultimately failed to save himself. Such an ending may not be a spectacular tragedy, but it carries a suffocating sense of powerlessness.
It's like finally beating the most difficult game, only to have the ending screen pop up, but at the last moment the system forcibly deletes your save file, not even giving you a chance to start over.
"Hopefully, there's still a chance for a turnaround..." With a soft sigh, only the faint light from the screen remained in the living room, illuminating everyone's silent profile.
As the others sank into despair, Seiya, knowing he was powerless to reverse the situation, maintained his usual calm expression.
[First, he thanked Elulu for her help during the final battle against the Emperor, then he instructed Matthew to make sure he and Rosalie protected this world well.]
In the short span of those few words, Seiya's right foot suddenly made a soft "crack" sound, like glass falling to the ground, instantly shattering into several transparent fragments.
[Lista's tears instantly burst forth: "Why? Why can't it be cured? I couldn't save you then, and even now that you're a goddess, it's the same... Why..."]
"That's enough, Ristarte." Seiya gently pulled her into his arms. "You've done very well."
Seiya looked down at her trembling profile as she cried, his gaze unusually gentle: "It's unbelievable. It seems like something similar happened somewhere before."
[He gently wiped away the tears on her cheek with his fingertips. It was the first time Lisda had seen a smile on his face—not a radiant one, but one filled with a warm sense of relief.]
"Really? You are...that's why I..."
"Thank goodness, we finally saved you this time!"
The instant the words left his lips, Seiya's body suddenly burst forth with tiny particles of light, like an ice sculpture pierced by sunlight, completely disintegrating into countless shimmering fragments in Ristarte's eyes.
P.S.: The Cautious Hero arc will end tomorrow...
Chapter 1303 SS-Rank Difficulty? "The Cautious Hero" Ends!
"He's usually so stingy with even a kind word, yet at this very last moment, he gave Ristarte that smile... Who could resist that?!"
"The hero had just remembered who she was, and had just laid out the tenderness he had kept hidden for two lifetimes before her, when it all crumbled and vanished right before his eyes. The pain was unbearable!"
