In a world where the flow of time has become abnormally slow, crimson destruction is approaching step by step.
Eshidrujuye did hear it.
The sound of his own path, which he had believed would last forever, fragilely crumbling.
No matter how much he denied reality, he insisted that the reality before him could not happen.
No matter how loudly he claims to be God, an absolute existence.
Mercilessly, coldly, and unreasonably, the murderous roar of the abyssal monster will destroy everything in this world. This is reality.
therefore……
『──! ! 』
A crimson flash pierced through the silver torrent, carrying with it a future of destruction—piercing through the mad god.
The silver torrent began to dissipate.
There was a big hole in the chest of the humanoid figure of light, and Ehidrujuye reached out his hand with an expression of disbelief.
The body made of light began to gradually disintegrate with the big hole as the center.
"Ugh... Ahhh..." Eshidrujuye moaned hoarsely, trying to stop his body from disintegrating, but...
"How is this possible... This is... Impossible..."
Finally, only the head of the humanoid figure of light remained. It felt as if Eshidrujue's eyes were fixed on Hajime and Yue.
"Impossible..." He murmured one last time, and then the figure of light disappeared as if dissolving into thin air.
The light of "Holy Absolute" converged, and Yue fell to the ground in a duck-like posture, feeling powerless.
Shi Ze slowly lowered the pistol.
Silence filled the scene.
In the pure white space, there was no other sound except for the rapid breathing of Hajime and Yue.
Yue turned around and looked at Hajime with a smile.
Just as Hajime was about to smile back at her—
"moon……!"
What came out of Hajime's mouth was a warning filled with anxiety.
Yue turned his gaze back to the front in surprise, and at the same time, a strange roar that did not seem to exist in this world rang out.
—Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Suddenly, the two of them suffered an invisible impact like a huge wave.
Unable to resist, Yue was pushed back and crashed into Hajime's arms from behind. Hajime quickly hugged Yue and twisted his body, using his flesh to block the impact for her.
At this moment, a loud noise was heard.
That was the sound of the altar rubble that was pressing down on Hajime's lower body being completely shattered.
Trapped between the shockwave and the altar wall, Hajime was lucky enough not to be killed, but he was still directly hit by the extremely powerful shockwave.
Hajime, still holding Yue in his arms, was blown away along with the fragments of the altar, like a leaf at the mercy of a storm. His body crashed against the ground several times before coming to rest.
"Ugh... cough! Yue..."
“…Hmm, Hajime…!”
Even though he was seriously injured and vomiting blood, what Hajime cared about most was Yue's safety.
Because she was protected by Hajime, she didn't seem to be hurt, but the powerful impact still made her breathless.
The two held hands and supported each other, and finally managed to straighten their upper bodies.
After looking around at the situation, the two people's expressions became stunned and nervous.
“W-What’s going on…?”
"...Is the divine realm...about to collapse?"
The pure white space was distorting, cracks everywhere, and in some places it was twisting and shaking unsteadily. These abnormal spaces intermittently displayed scenes from various other worlds within the [Divine Realm].
The reason is obvious.
—Wuwuaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Black miasma spewed out from the distortion in space, all flowing to the same place, swirling and gathering.
In addition, more monsters and apostles followed the miasma into this space, being sucked into the vortex formed by the miasma, and constantly making frightening "crunch" and "crack" sounds. It was the sound of bones grinding against each other and flesh being crushed against each other.
From the center of the vortex came a terrifying scream that was enough to drive people crazy.
"This is... God's final decline, isn't it?"
"……Um."
Amidst the shouts, words echoed intermittently.
—I don’t…want to die…I don’t want to…die…
——Why…I say, enough…I don’t understand…
——Forever...everything...
—God…I am God…Why…
—I… am not wrong… I am…
──…Obey me…destroy…destroy…
Look at me... Look at me... Shout... to me... to me...
—No…I…don’t want to die…
These words reveal a fixation on life, resentment towards others, a childish desire for dominance, a self-affirmation, and a selfish mindset. Inexplicably, it's just an irrational outburst.
However, the only thing I didn't want to do was die, and in my loneliness I couldn't help but want to destroy everything...
Although Hajime sincerely disagreed and was full of rejection, it was undeniable that he could empathize with her.
When at the bottom of the abyss, Hajime's mind became corrupted and he no longer cared about any other existence. In order to survive, he would even consume the flesh and blood of monsters.
When Yue was taken away, he also lost control and even created the concept of extreme destruction.
"Yue...if I hadn't met you, perhaps I would..."
It will become like that too—before Hajime could say that, Yue gently placed her index finger on his lips, stopping him from continuing.
Yue quietly shook her head and whispered softly and gently, denying his words.
“… Hajime is different from that guy. I believe that someone must have cared for him in the past, someone must have offered him help. He must have had someone he could have helped. However, he didn’t do so, and that’s how it ended.”
Yue's ruby-like eyes were full of love, and she gently stroked Shi's cheek, as if she was caressing the most precious treasure.
"...your trajectory, the path you take, is everything to you."
Even though his heart was frozen, he still heard Yue's cry for help.
He said that he didn't care what would happen to the world, but he ended up saving many people.
These traces of Hajime's journey prevented Hajime from losing control in the Demon King's Castle and prevented him from making a big mistake.
So, although they look similar, they are actually completely different.
So, don't belittle my beloved Hajime.
—Hajime clearly understood Yue’s intention.
“…Since you say so, then it must be so.”
"……Um."
In this life-or-death situation, he was still lost in sentimentality, and even at this critical moment, he asked Yue to enlighten him. Hajime couldn't help but smile bitterly at himself. Yue also smiled at him like a blooming flower.
Then, the vortex of miasma exploded and dispersed.
Although the miasma was still swirling around, the entire shape of the thing could now be seen clearly.
"It's a monster."
"...Well, even pathetic."
It was a mass of flesh, a random blend of bones, flesh, and skin from several different creatures, with several arms and legs poking out from it, wriggling.
It also stretched out several tentacles and kept twisting, which looked very scary.
Such a blasphemous and disgusting appearance, as if its mere existence is enough to drive people crazy.
No consciousness of Ehidrujuye could be sensed from this object, nor was there any rationality at all.
The "Bullet of Existence Denial" undoubtedly dealt a fatal wound to Ehidrujue. Even so, it didn't completely disappear, perhaps because his obsession with eternal life, domination, and devastation was too deep. No, that wasn't obsession anymore; it was more like delusion.
The object that was once Eshidrujuye let out a terrifying roar again.
—Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!
A violent storm suddenly arose, black miasma swirled, and invisible shock waves spread outwards with the piece of meat as the center.
Although Shi and Yue quickly lay down, they were still blown away again.
Even though they couldn't help but groan in pain, they absolutely refused to let go of each other's hands.
The two rolled on the ground, hugging each other as if they were wrestling, and then supported each other again to stand up.
"Yue, suck my blood."
“…But…”
"It's okay."
Yue seemed extremely hesitant. Even though Hajime said it was nothing serious, that was impossible. Hajime had lost so much blood that it was probably nearing a fatal point. No, it might even have exceeded the point where it could be fatal.
The wounds on his abdomen and legs hadn't healed yet. Although he tensed his muscles to reduce the amount of blood loss, his heart could stop at any moment due to excessive blood loss.
The reason why he can still maintain consciousness and think normally is entirely because his body is strong enough to be called a monster.
Even so, his condition was still very dangerous. If Yue really sucked his blood, it would probably kill him.
In the distance, the piece of meat roared horribly again.
At the same time, space was violently distorted, and shock waves continued to destroy the pure white world.
The twisting tentacles probed here and there, as if wandering around in search of prey.
If this continued, even if he did nothing, he would surely die. Even so, Yue couldn't help but hesitate. So, Hajime smiled at her.
It was his usual defiant smile, the one that always made Yue's chest tighten involuntarily.
With his canine teeth bared and his eyes gleaming with ferocity, he conveys trustworthiness to his own people, yet a terrifying expression that leaves a pang of fear in the hearts of his enemies. This devilish smile always captivates the hearts of vampire princesses.
"You think I didn't expect this?"
"beginning……"
"It's true that I've used up all the cards I can use. However, the only cards I've used up are 'the ones in my hand'."
Yue was speechless.
Ah, my beloved is such a devil...──She thought so in her heart, suppressing her pounding heart, and finally nodded.
She no longer hesitated, feeling the touch of Hajime's hands embracing her while leaning her face towards his neck.
The blood flowing into his body gradually restored Yue's magical power. Furthermore, the next moment, his heart violently pounded. A beating sound he had never heard before echoed deep in his ears.
Blood Contract—draining the life of a single target increases the effectiveness of Blood Power Conversion. However, the changes occurring now aren't solely due to this skill. The current Moon Mana recovery is far greater than the effect of this skill.
──Nangumo Hajime, Yue's special artifact.
To be more precise, it was the iron in his blood. Hajime's blood was heavily infused with iron from both sublimation and soul magic, and it was also affected by the artifact, 'Friends of the Cheat.'
If he lost all his Sacred Gears and Yue was exhausted, even the "Bullet of Existence Denial" would not be able to completely kill the enemy. In order to deal with such a situation, Hajime transformed himself into a Sacred Gear exclusively for Yue.
“…Hmm…”
The incomparably sweet taste made Yue unable to hold back a gasp of admiration.
At this moment, though it wasn't the sound that drew attention, the piece of flesh began to move, extending countless tentacles that shot towards it at a blurry speed. The tips of the tentacles were sharp enough to pierce the target in one go.
As her mouth left the neck, Yue raised one hand and flicked it casually.
