Shirou's clones number 30 million

Even so, the city also harbors participants in other types of murder mystery games, so it's far from peaceful.

Shirou Shiro couldn't find anything special about the coin before; polishing, hammering, and cutting with a knife hadn't left any marks.

However, things are different now. Having shared many of Shirou's powers, even the strange alien who killed him earlier has become weak and feeble.

Lost in thought, the tide of golden coins from the sky flew over and landed on the ground, forming a small pile.

"The quantity is less than expected. Is it because a lot of it was used?"

Shirou Shiro suddenly turned his head, and to his side, a dozen burly men walked toward him, transforming into different forms as they went.

"Those are all the coins left in this town, right? Hand them over, and I'll spare your life."

They're all transformation abilities, do you really hate your own appearance that much?

Or, if I hadn't had my first superpower, would I have become a similar monster upon gaining it?

"Why aren't you saying anything? Or are you so scared that you don't know what to say?"

The man charged forward yelling, then flew backward at an even faster speed, crashing into a wall more than ten meters away.

"I have no interest in you, and please don't be so foolish as to seek death."

Shirou Hakuzawa didn't even glance at those people. With a casual flick of his wrist, a coin flew into his palm.

Then, with a gentle force, the coin broke in two.

"It looks just like a regular coin."

A flame ignited in his palm, instantly burning the coin to ashes.

"It seems that it is not entirely indestructible."

"What have you done! You bastard! You actually gave away precious coins..." The man glared at him angrily, his breathing becoming rapid.

"Collecting coins and all that is just an alien's excuse, right? Maybe he just wants to incite bloodshed in this city and then stand by and watch the show."

Shirou Shirazawa looked disdainful and casually asked:

"Are coins really that important to you? So important that you're willing to risk your lives to fight for them?"

“That’s right! That little coin represents not only power, but everything!” The man’s tone was unusually firm. “If you don’t need it, then give it to us.”

"Whether it's defeating aliens or anything else, we'll make it happen for you once we gain the power."

"Your ambition is commendable, but do you think aliens wouldn't have thought of this?" Shirou Shiro shook his head slightly, waved his right hand, and black flames appeared out of thin air, landing on the pile of coins.

"You bastard! What have you done?"

"The aliens haven't appeared, but you, a brainless passerby, are getting anxious. How ridiculous."

"Go to hell!"

thump……

In an instant, everyone collapsed to the ground, their limbs twisted into strange shapes as proof of what had just happened.

In the surrounding darkness, many people who were watching and looking for an opportunity felt a sense of fear.

"Still no one's come."

Shirou Shiro glanced at the pile of coins that had been burned to ashes and shook his head slightly.

It seems that these coins aren't particularly important to that guy who claims to be an alien.

He had deliberately chosen a location very close to the ruins of the hotel, so even if he ran there on foot, it wouldn't take him too long.

Since he's not coming, I'll just go there myself.

Shirou Shiro glanced at the dozen or so men wailing in pain, then walked towards the ruins of the inn without looking back.

By the roadside, a huge, strange doll stared blankly in their direction, seemingly lost in thought.

Seeing this, Shirou Shirawa stopped and turned around to ask:

"enemy?"

The doll shook its head repeatedly.

"I see. Then we shouldn't stand too close, otherwise it's easy to cause misunderstandings."

The doll kept nodding.

Shiro continued forward, during which time he was attacked from the side and behind. He was thrown off, his limbs severed, and he was completely unable to move.

……

Why did I turn into a monster?

Shuichi Kagaya was very puzzled by the changes in his body, to the point that he often spaced out by himself in his daily life.

Of course, he was originally a quiet and reserved guy, so he naturally wouldn't attract other people's attention.

That evening, while he was lost in thought, he suddenly noticed many strange people running by on the street.

Some people turned into black, alien monsters; some only had monstrous legs; and some had no change in appearance but ran incredibly fast.

At that moment, Shuichi Kagaya was filled with excitement.

Without a doubt, they were all monsters just like himself.

Perhaps they will find out why they turned into monsters.

With so many people, there's bound to be one who's easy to talk to.

Without the slightest hesitation, he followed the crowd.

Then, an astonishing scene unfolded.

The red-haired boy, whose entire body was pure white, exuded an extremely eerie aura, giving people a sense of inexplicable fear.

Without a doubt, that's a difference in biological hierarchy.

Just as a rabbit trembles in the face of a tiger, a person will feel fear from the bottom of their heart when facing an unimaginable wild beast.

What happened afterward confirmed his suspicions.

'What a terrifying guy; I can't even tell how those people fell down.'

'What were those golden coins, and why did he burn them?'

While he was lost in thought, the red-haired boy walked over.

As the distance closed, his fear intensified.

But the next two short sentences calmed him down considerably.

If he's not an enemy, he probably won't attack me, right? Probably.

Although he still felt a lot of fear, he developed a slight liking for the red-haired boy because of those two sentences he had just heard, so much so that he unconsciously chased after him.

Of course, as the other party said, a short distance was deliberately maintained to avoid misunderstanding.

"Where are we going? I remember there was only one abandoned hotel over there; I used to play there when I was a kid. I haven't been back since."

'So many people. The surrounding darkness is filled with people, each emanating a powerful aura.'

'But really, that guy is the strongest. Even if everyone else combined, they probably wouldn't be a match for him.'

'Knowing they were no match, why did they attack? Or were they simply unable to perceive the difference in strength between the two sides?'

Shuichi Kagaya looked on in bewilderment at the people who kept attacking the red-haired youth.

Chapter 544 Perhaps it could be me too

Section 545, Chapter 544: Perhaps it could be me too.

"So you really are here."

The young man, who claimed to be an alien, sat leisurely in a recliner, holding a comic book in his hand, and seemed to be in a good mood.

As Shirou Shirawa slowly walked over, he pondered for a moment:

"Actually, you don't care that much about the coin."

"Or are you only able to see what's in front of you and have no idea what I did to the coin?"

The alien suddenly stood up, his face turning extremely ugly.

"What have you done! Didn't I already warn you last time? Give me coins that are useless to you humans, and you can exchange them for a potion."

"Not only can he transform, but he can also become a giant like in the comics and easily destroy cities and islands."

"What exactly did you do?"

“Just like last time.” Shirou paused, then smiled faintly. “No, I finished what I left unfinished last time. I… burned all the coins in this city, burned them to ashes.”

"Do you really want to die that badly?"

The alien's face showed obvious anger, and its body gradually deformed, transforming into a monster tens of meters tall.

Is that all?

Shiro looked disappointed. The alien claimed that it had no fixed form and could transform into anything.

As a result, he assumed that the other party possessed causal abilities, and imagined the other party to be extremely terrifying.

"If that's all there is to it, I could have killed you even before."

Even if the behemoth in front of them was incredibly powerful and fast, it was still just a moving target.

Armor-piercing rounds might only be effective if they hit the eye, but high-yield missiles, fired in unison, could definitely take him down.

"Die!"

Shiro Shiro raised his right hand, and a giant ice spike instantly pierced through the alien's foot.

At the same time, the endless cold air froze the aliens and time itself.

In a world where he is the only one who can act, Shirou Shirazawa wields his nameless Zanpakuto "Asauchi" and gently swings it down. The ice block instantly shatters into pieces, turning into white specks of light that gradually disappear.

The next second, time began to flow again.

"So it says it doesn't have a fixed life form, but it does have a soul after all. Isn't this just a shapeshifter?"

"If you really think about it, it's not even as good as a parasite."
