My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

Hazuki Miyamori wasn't lying; she had indeed been conquered by Hayato Takasaki.

The moment she was rejected by Kouta, her hopes for love died completely.

Now she is a proper lady from a noble family, prioritizing the interests of her family above all else. Therefore, when she saw Takasei Hayato's unparalleled strength, she immediately compromised and willingly became one of Takasei Hayato's many women!

Upon hearing this answer, Takashi Hayato choked for a moment, then burst out laughing.

After laughing for a while, he said again, "I'm now planning to get revenge on your sweetheart. Don't you have any thoughts on that?"

"Liar!" Ye Yue retorted playfully, "You say you're going to get revenge on others, but actually you've got your eye on someone else's woman, haven't you?"

"You little vixen saw right through me, so what brilliant plan do you have?"

"Brilliant idea, I've got it." Hazuki leaned down and whispered something in Takasei Hayato's ear.

As Takashi Hayato listened, his eyes grew brighter and brighter. He looked at Hazuki with surprise, not at how clever Hazuki's plan was, but at how ruthless this beauty was.

……

Chapter 455 Twisted Eyes

'Such a charming little vixen, it's best not to wield too much power; just be his obedient woman.'

As Takayuki Hayato spoke, he reached into Kuchizuki Tokiko's head, much to Hazuki's astonishment.

He concentrated a large amount of Void Element in his hand. When the Void Element reached a certain concentration, he could come into contact with the Divine Card. From an outsider's perspective, it looked as if his hand had entered another space.

This completely unscientific scene made even Hazuki Miyazaki, with her decades of self-control, cover her pink lips in horror.

Hayato Takasaki retrieved the Divine Card from Tokiko's soul.

Once the divine card detached from the soul, it immediately emitted elements of the void.

Of course, ordinary people cannot see, touch, or feel the Void Element; only those with special abilities can sense it.

Miyamori Hazuki's deep blue eyes were filled with doubt and confusion. From her perspective, Takasaki Hayato's hands were clearly empty, yet it seemed as if he was holding something.

So she leaned her delicate body against Takasei Hayato, looking at him with pleading eyes like a kitten: "You big bad guy, is there something here?"

As she spoke, she playfully reached out to touch it, but naturally found nothing.

Instead of stopping Hazuki's actions, Takayuki Hayato took the opportunity to grab Hazuki's retracted hand, allowing her to continue touching the divine card.

"This is a priceless treasure that countless people dream of, an object that reflects the form of a deity!"

"???" Miyazaki's mind was full of question marks.

After a long silence, she said uncertainly, "But... there's nothing here."

Takashi Hayato smiled slightly: "You'll see in a little while."

"really?"

Hazuki didn't doubt Takasei Hayato's words, after all, she had personally witnessed him reach his hand directly into the brain of that woman named Kuchizu and then withdraw it unharmed.

Hayato Takasaki lay on the soft bed, with two women on either side of him, waiting for Hazuki Miyamori to awaken her abilities.

He knew that Hazuki Miyamori would awaken a very powerful ability in the future, thus becoming the de facto ruler of Horikoshi after the great disaster.

Normally, for an ordinary person to awaken superpowers, they need to be in contact with the Void element for a long time, usually a year. Of course, this is not absolute; some people have taken three, five, or even ten years.

However, divine cards can forcibly awaken abilities.

Even those without abilities will awaken their powers upon contact with divine cards.

In his past life, he was used as a vessel for a divine card by a person with superpowers, which is why he awakened his superpower—[Deprivation].

Then he killed the ability user and began his path to becoming a powerful being. However, his path to becoming a powerful being lasted for less than three months before he was forced to be reborn.

He certainly wouldn't make the same mistake as that ability user now.

Because of the power awakened by the divine card, Kuchizu Tsukiko's abilities were taken away by him while she was unconscious.

However, the ability she awakened was rather useless; it only increased the dexterity of her hands.

Now, he is preparing to obtain Hazuki Miyamori's superpower.

Time passed slowly.

Sudden.

Hazuki Miyamori's deep blue eyes widened suddenly. Her body began to burn, and at the same time, her eyes stung, emitting a deep blue light that grew brighter and brighter...

"what--!"

She covered her dark blue eyes in anguish.

Seeing this, Takasuke Hayato's lips curled into a smile.

He thought excitedly, 'This is the Death Eye that will strike fear into the hearts of countless people in the future—the Twisted Eye!'

After a long while, the light faded, and the pain in Hazuki's eyes subsided.

She opened her deep blue eyes and was shocked to find that the whole world had changed; the world had never been presented to her so clearly and completely.

Her eyes seemed to have broken through some barrier, seeing into the inner layers of the world...

She suddenly felt a touch from her slender fingertips. Looking down, she saw that her fingers were touching a five-inch gray card, which was blurry and she couldn't see anything clearly.

"Is this what they call a supreme treasure?" Hazuki murmured.

“Yes.” Takashi Hayato hugged her tighter, whispered in her ear, and then… activated his ability [Deprivation].

Suddenly, Hazuki Miyamori felt a momentary daze, and then she felt an emptiness in her heart, as if she had lost something important.

In an instant, her newly awakened superpower, [Twisted Eyes], was taken away by Takasago Hayato.

Hazuki is starting to feel tired!

I'm so tired!

A weariness that penetrates to the very soul!

She closed her eyes and fell asleep in Takasaka Hayato's arms.

Takasuke Hayato was not surprised by this.

Those whose abilities are taken away by him using the "Deprivation" technique will fall into a deep sleep.

After obtaining the [Twisted Eyes], he couldn't wait to start trying it out.

The effect of the [Twisted Eyes] ability is: it directly distorts space wherever the gaze falls.

Because it directly distorts space, even his [Nitrogen Armor] cannot defend against it; it is simply the strongest spear that kills without leaving a trace!

At this moment, Takashi Hayato's pupils turned a deep, dark blue, as if radiating a magical power, especially the dark mass in the very center of his pupils, which seemed to be slowly rotating... It was incredibly eerie.

He looked at an expensive vase over a meter tall by the door of the room and activated [Twisted Eyes].

In an instant.

The entire vase began to twist and turn, its crystal-clear and beautiful patterns becoming misaligned. Like wringing out a towel, it was squeezed towards the center in a bizarre way, gradually turning into a... rope, a vase rope about the thickness of a finger.

The entire process was completely silent, and even the strangely shaped vase is intact; it's just that the space it's in has become distorted, which is why it looks like this.

Then, Takashi Hayato abruptly stopped his ability.

Instantly, the distorted space shattered and began to repair itself almost simultaneously, while the entire vase was cut apart by countless tiny spatial gaps within the repairing space.

The vase rope began to collapse from bottom to top, turning into fine sand particles of regular shape and uniform size. These particles were crystal clear, with a surface smoother than a mirror, reflecting light and emitting shimmering spots, making them extremely beautiful.

However, no one could connect this pile of fine sand with the previously expensive and ornate vase.

Dokiko leaned against Takasei Hayato's chest, watching this scene in horror.

Master has become powerful!

Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her chest. She endured the pain and looked up at her owner with a wronged expression.

"Master, have I done something wrong?"

"It's nothing, I was just very happy, so I had more strength."

"Is that so?"

Thus, Tokiko could only endure the pain and let Takasaka Hayato play with her.

……

A typical residential community dozens of kilometers away.

After covering Hui with the blanket, Geng Tai got out of bed and got dressed.

After that phone call from Hazuki Miyamori, he had no desire to sleep.

Since that's the case, I might as well get up and cook Hui a nice meal.

He put on a full set of winter clothes, went downstairs, changed into outdoor shoes in the entryway, and then opened the door.

In an instant.

A biting cold wind swept in and rushed into the room.

"It's getting colder again," Kouta murmured, watching the snowflakes falling outside.

As Christmas draws closer, the weather is getting colder and colder, and it's even snowing during the day.

The yard was covered with a layer of snow, like a soft wool blanket, covering the ground and shimmering with a cold, silvery light.

After thinking for a moment, Kouta took an umbrella, opened it, and walked out of the yard toward the nearest market.

Not long after I walked, a familiar voice came from behind me.

"Hashiki-kun? It must be Hashiki-kun!"

It took Kouta a while to realize that 'Hashiki' was the pseudonym he was using now. He turned around and said, "It's Yoneno-neechan."

"Hashiki-kun, I haven't seen you for days. Where have you been?" A woman named Yoneno Chiri asked him warmly, carrying a vegetable basket.

"Well, Rieko is sick and hospitalized, that's why no one is here."

"Rieko" was the identity he fabricated for Hui.

"Ah—, is it serious? Is it some kind of serious illness?" Yone asked worriedly.

"It's nothing serious, just a minor ailment. I've recovered and been discharged from the hospital."
