Super God: If I punch you, you will die

Perhaps this time the opponent is an interesting person, and as long as the opponent is interesting, it can slightly arouse Yan's fighting spirit.

In his world.

In the world of absolute power, there is no danger or threat, only interesting things and uninteresting things that one doesn't want to deal with.

"Even the traps are outdated. Quite the taste..."

"Ah, wait!"

Yuki Funahara grabbed Yan's hand in a panic and pointed the flashlight at another spot, where a new sports bag appeared within the flashlight's beam.

"Just like the bag from before, there must be something inside!"

Funahara Yuki rushed out in an instant, and Yan didn't even have time to stop her.

"leave……"

The words slipped out, but it was too late. Funahara Yuki picked up her gym bag with a hint of delight, but the next second, a piercing alarm nearly shattered her eardrums. It wasn't so much a meticulously designed trap as the designer's focus on amusement, a prank-like trap designed to be unpredictable. After the alarm sounded, the autonomous machine pinpointed their location and immediately moved rapidly towards Yan and Funahara Yuki's position in the darkness.

However, Yan keenly noticed the difference between this and the previous self-propelled machine. This wasn't the same self-propelled machine as before, meaning there were at least two more searching for them here. This made the situation even more serious; the trap's creators had truly gone to great lengths.

"Then I'll have to cooperate properly to complete this interesting game. The roles of prey and hunter aren't always absolute; let's wait and see." Yan glanced into the distance, a glance that seemed deliberate...

The chill that seemed to penetrate the surveillance equipment and travel along the lines sent a shiver down the spine of the 'planner' or 'creator' watching the game. Even Sengyoji felt this bone-chilling sensation, as if his entire body was electrified.

what happened?

I'm just an executor, a small prey in this game, so why do I have this bad feeling?

Sengong Temple and the people next to them exchanged glances and looked at each other in bewilderment.

After a slight look of surprise, he regained his interest; Izumiya Toyohisa was an absolute pleasure-seeker. His sole purpose in doing this was to experience the joy of hunting. For this reason, Izumiya Toyohisa set various restrictions on the self-reliant machine.

The machine that discovered Yan and Yuki's independence was—Lavclough.

After spotting his prey, Loughclough immediately began tracking it. This game-like structure, almost like a hunting game, was one that Izumiya Toyohisa enjoyed. Izumiya Toyohisa also had a hunting rifle in his hand, which he aimed at the prey that Loughclough had his eye on.

He even smiled.

In fact, Yuki was used as bait to fish, while En was the prey in this hunting game. En sensed the threat coming from afar, almost instantly.

Even a half-second delay could lead to utter destruction, or at the very least, injury.

The moment after Yan carried Yuki into the darkness, a gunshot rang out. Izumiya Toyohisa's shotgun blast struck a pillar.

The intact pillar was immediately riddled with holes.

At this moment, only the shadows offered true safety, while gunfire continued to erupt, and shrapnel rained down haphazardly. Even without fleeing, Yan possessed the ability to instantly kill Izumiya Toyohisa. Then, this game would be truly over.

but--

Inflammation will not do that.

He didn't want to be too conspicuous.

This wouldn't do him any good in staying in this world. Since arriving in this world, the system hasn't given him any sign-in tasks, and he's stopped waiting. Perhaps the whole world is just one big sign-in task, and he'll only leave this world once the task is finished.

Yan paused briefly in the drainage ditch of the underground space before putting Yuki down.

"Just...just now, someone was there!"

"Hmm, now we can see the theme of the game clearly. Those guys are enjoying the thrill of fox hunting."

"hunting?"

"The self-propelled machine plays the role of the hound, putting pressure on the timid, fleeing prey... while we play the role of the poor fox."

"how……"

"Don't panic, don't be afraid. Calm down and carefully search for an escape route. If you rush, you'll fall right into the enemy's trap. Where's the bag you just picked up?"

"This...it's here."

Yuki handed the sports backpack to Yan, but when he opened it, he didn't see the equipment in the first backpack. Instead, he found an electronic device. This electronic device was very small, only the size of a palm.

"……What's this?"

"Equipped with a pulse transponder, this is a powerful model that can use military codes. This type of model can probably transmit even under radio interference."

"Can we call for help?"

“It’s a pity…” Yan had actually noticed long ago that the pulse transponder was unusable. He flipped the machine over and saw that the area behind it did not have a battery installed and could not function at all. “No battery, and no antenna.”

Yuki Funahara sighed deeply.

They had initially thought they could make contact with the outside world, at least to receive reinforcements and avoid being so isolated and helpless. But their only hope turned into despair. Yuki Funahara's expression was particularly complex, truly indescribable.

Yan bent down to protect the ship, Yuki Hara.

In that instant, Yuki Funahara's eyes widened in shock, her fear impossible to conceal. Above them, two self-propelled machines were passing by.

"They...they've caught up..."

"...Avoid those guys' line of sight. You'll stay here. It seems the Independence Machine's sensors are also restricted by the game. If you keep quiet, you won't be easily discovered." With that, he entrusted the package to Yuki.

"What...what do you want to do?"

"Two hounds are no match for us. We must defeat one of them first to avoid being trapped here." Yan was prepared to face the enemy alone, as this innocent girl was utterly defenseless and utterly incapable of fighting.

Is it cumbersome?

Indeed.

But Yan didn't, not even for a second, have the thought of abandoning Funahara Yuki. Was it because Funahara Yuki was Tsunemori Akane's friend? Maybe, maybe not. Perhaps it was just the compassion of a strong person for a weak person, this feeling of wanting to protect the weak.

He jumped out.

In this way, it suddenly came into view of Sengakuji Temple.

This is the prey he himself has chosen—Police Chief Inspector Yan.

"Oh?" Semiya looked at Yan, who had suddenly appeared, with interest. He had thought Yan would keep hiding, which would have been fun like a game of hide-and-seek, but hiding forever didn't seem very interesting. Unexpectedly, Yan had come out on his own, so the game had to continue.

The self-propelled machine once again aimed at Yan.

Kafka accelerated rapidly and charged forward, but at the very last moment before contact, Yan suddenly appeared in another direction.

"What happened? Is it stuck?"

Izumiya couldn't believe it. He stared at the screen almost without blinking, but he still had no idea how Yan had dodged the attack. He even subconsciously felt a sigh coming on, a sigh that his prey had died so quickly.

however--

Things turned out completely beyond his expectations.

Is there really a lag issue?

This wasn't impossible at all. Izumiya's attention became even more focused; he even leaned forward slightly, seemingly pouring more than 100% of his enthusiasm into the game. This was going to be an interesting game, Izumiya thought.

Unable to contain himself any longer, Izumiya even stepped out of the 'safe zone,' eager to experience the thrill of the hunt. Izumiya gave instructions to the autonomous machine to maintain a defensive line, but even so, En skillfully used the terrain to perfectly evade all attacks.

This instantly enraged Izumiyaji, who had been quite interested just moments before.

"Hmm... Come on, you piece of trash."

In Yan's eyes, the Kafka self-propelled machine was nothing more than a toy that could be destroyed in the blink of an eye. He adjusted his position slightly, and then both self-propelled machines were aimed at Yan.

This is exactly what he wants.

Kafka's serrated blades vibrated violently, as if trying to tear all its prey to shreds, looking utterly terrifying.

Yan leaped lightly into the air, dodging Kafka from above.

Such superhuman physical abilities caused Kafka to lose the best time and angle to attack, and Yan's baton accurately pierced Kafka's gap.

moment--

Sparks flew.

Boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom! At that moment, another independent machine rushed over, and the out-of-control machine crashed into the other independent machine, creating a huge noise. They both fell into the trap. In fact, every step was meticulously calculated, but these plans were all finalized in an instant. This included the force of the impact and the arc of the impact.

These were all predicted.

As the Hound Self-Supporting Machine stomped on the floor, the trap on the ceiling was activated. A deafening roar followed instantly; the freefall of the hundreds of kilograms of weight caused astonishing damage and destruction, crushing even a sturdy device like the Self-Supporting Machine into a pancake shape. The other Self-Supporting Machine, however, was only hit at the edge; most importantly, the battery Yan wanted remained undamaged. A slight error can lead to disastrous consequences; this is not a judgment that can be made through mere deduction.

And Yan did it.

He quickly removed the battery and retreated.

Although another independent machine had discovered Yan's location, Yan remained calm. Instead, he darted into the darkness as the machine charged, returning to the drainage ditch. Yuki waited expectantly for him.

"Mr. Yan!"

"Run!"

"Take one out. And..." While running away, he inserted the battery into the portable pulse transponder. The indicator light flashed immediately after the battery was inserted, indicating that the portable pulse transponder had begun preparations. "...And the antenna."

Sengguji, Lafkraf, and Makishima also came to Sengguji's side, but they did not want to get involved.

"I never thought he could take down Kafka... He's an amazing guy."

"Not ordinary prey... but a ferocious beast. Perhaps it is a wolf's kin."

"That man seemed to have salvaged something from Kafka's wreckage... Makishima-kun, is there some design element in this game that I'm unaware of?"

Makishima gave a strange smile, changing the subject.

"When faced with terror, people can test their own souls. What they pursue and why they were born will become clear about their true nature."

Are you trying to make fun of me?

"I'm not only interested in that fiery man, but also in you, Mr. Izumiya. When faced with unexpected situations and developments that differ from expectations, you also confront your true self, don't you? You must also be seeking that thrill and excitement."

"...I don't dislike places like yours that look down on people." Izumiya gave a mysterious smile, then, together with Jiriki, continued their pursuit of En and Funahara Yuki. This game wasn't over; it was taking an even more interesting turn.

Sengakuji always considered himself the best hunter.

Therefore, the prey in this game must be captured.

The building's interior was a labyrinthine maze, with each individual space quite secluded. Yan and Funahara Yuki found a secluded spot to rest. For Yan, this level of exertion was nothing new; he handled it with ease. However, Funahara Yuki was already panting heavily, clearly at her limit.

"I'm panting heavily," Yuki Funahara said, waving her hands.

She knew the situation was serious, but she simply didn't have the energy to keep going; she was just too exhausted.

People like Yuki Funahara have always lacked training.

Their physical fitness is certainly not as good as those of the implementers.

"I can't... I can't walk anymore."

"Cheer up. Those people will catch up soon." Yan encouraged Funahara Yuki, as now was definitely not the time to stop and rest.

"No...no...there's no escaping now...I can't do this..." Funahara Yuki's words were already broken and intermittent, unable to form a coherent sentence. She had actually tried her best, but her physical exhaustion truly required rest to recover.

But time doesn't allow it.

The pursuers have caught up.

If it were just Yan alone, escaping would be a piece of cake. But with this little burden, protecting him would require a bit more strength. Yan, who never liked to show off, wanted to get through this period peacefully.
