Hikigaya Hachiman is Kuuga?

The rhythm of the ball of light in his hand became more and more pleasant, as if it was cheering for something, and his gaze returned to the ball of light.

"Absorb it well. You and I are the same existence. I just don't know if we can find our own way out."

Chapter 127: That’s it???

The cold crescent moon hangs high in the dark night sky, with fragmented stars surrounding it, highlighting its uniqueness.

The first time he entered the ultimate darkness, he was different from last time because Hikigaya Hachiman voluntarily gave up himself and allowed the Yam Damu Spirit Stone to accelerate the strengthening of his body, turning his whole body into a combat weapon. He had already lost some of his self.

At that time, he had almost lost all five senses of human beings and had no way of understanding what the so-called ultimate darkness was.

I just knew how to fight at that time, how to eliminate the enemy in front of me with the fastest speed and the lowest efficiency, and I didn't understand anything else.

But now, for the first time, with his own will and with the help of the senses he regained with the help of Shock, he shallowly entered the ultimate darkness. He understood why Kawada Shinichi was so opposed, and why Toma was worried that he would enter the ultimate darkness too quickly.

A violent desire to tear to pieces all the living creatures in front of him kept growing in his brain. However, if it was just this extent, Hikigaya Hachiman could still easily kill them all based on his experience in dealing with mental trauma over the years.

In any case, how could a person who has the ability to recognize and accept the outside world and build his own self-cognition based on it, after being isolated, ignored, neglected, and verbally abused, not have the idea of ​​destroying everything?

He, Hikigaya Hachiman, was just a child of four or five years old at that time, not the rational monster with a terrifying mental toughness that he is now.

What has always supported him in believing in the goodness in his heart is the healing smile of his younger sister, which allows him to cleanse the filth of his soul time and time again.

Therefore, he should have only needed to remember the healing smile of his sister Hikigaya Komachi, and with the "rational monster" he had built over the years, he could easily destroy the tyranny that had been chattering in his brain, just like countless times before.

But this time is completely different from the previous ones. Human senses are slowly peeling away. Although rationality is increasing rapidly, it is rationality about the desire to fight.

So, without the information that is fed back to the brain as sensory feedback, lacking the medium to mobilize emotions, and facing the noisy tyranny and the ever-increasing combat rationality, how can Hikigaya Hachiman resist?

Simple, isn’t it?

My senses are slowly being stripped away, but they haven't completely disappeared. So I'll rely on the remaining senses to recall my sister's healing smile and her sad tears when she saw me going berserk.

[No, no, no, I can’t think about this, I can’t think about this, my heart is about to break.]

Perhaps it is difficult for some people to understand the feelings of Hikigaya Hachiman for his sister Hikigaya Komachi, but if his life is described as full of darkness, and his sister is the only light in his darkness that has never been extinguished and has always warmed and illuminated him, then there is nothing strange about it, right?

Therefore, as long as Hikigaya Hachiman thought of his sister's sad and crying expression when she saw him going berserk, he could easily break free from it.

"Still awake?"

Hikigaya Hachiman looked up at the words on the other side, "Well, I can accept it barely, but if it's deeper, it may not work. Now I can only rely on my sister's smile to hold on."

"Oh~sister?"

Hearing his words, Kawada Shinichi was slightly startled, then smiled a little, "That's right, after all, it's normal for Kuuga to have a sister."

"However, this is not a long-term solution. Even though you are currently only slightly entering the ultimate darkness, you should be able to sense that the process is irreversible. Once you enter, it will endlessly devour your will and turn you into a weapon that is only born for fighting."

Hikigaya Hachiman is well aware of these, but he has no choice now, because the arrival of the ultimate darkness is only a matter of sooner or later, and the unknown often represents a certain degree of danger. So instead of possibly erupting at an inappropriate time in the future, it is better to experience it now. Even if he can only struggle for a while longer, he can at least end his life, right?

"Let's have a fight?"

"Are you sure you want to fight?"

Shinichi Kawada was a little confused about Hikigaya Hachiman's proposal. He originally thought that the other party was using his will to fight against the ultimate darkness, and his existence was to prevent the other party from going berserk and hurting people. He was a preventive measure that could stop all this from happening.

But now Hikigaya Hachiman actually asked to fight with him, instead of calming down and fighting against the ultimate darkness that was attacking him. He was really confused and had no idea what the other party was thinking.

"Well, there's no time to think about all that in battle. If we're going to test it, we should just go with the most difficult one."

Shinichi Kawada didn't know how to refute this statement, which sounded very reasonable, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that something was not right.

"Oh~ Come on~"

As the casual words fell, Hikigaya Hachiman, who had been patient for a long time, rushed forward first and punched his opponent with a simple punch.

Facing his attack, Shinichi Kawada did not dodge or evade, but stood still and took the punch with his chest.

"Hmm? It seems that the armor you are wearing has the property of absorbing energy."

For Hikigaya Hachiman, whose vision ability was a thousand times that of humans at this moment, he easily noticed that the moment the fist landed on Shinichi Kawada's chest armor, the power contained in it had been completely absorbed before it had time to spread out, and merged into his body, becoming the opponent's strength.

According to his current control over his body, that punch just now had a force of at least 90 tons, and the speed at which this force entered the opponent's body, absorbed the power from the cells and converted it into his own power, as well as the method of conversion, was almost like an instinctive reaction, which also indirectly shows how strong Kawada Shinichi's defense is now.

"Rather than absorption, I would rather you use the word inclusion."

"tolerate?"

The eyes beneath the mask flickered slightly, and Hikigaya Hachiman vaguely felt that he seemed to have grasped something, but the ultimate darkness that kept coming made it impossible for him to calm down and think.

"So you're not afraid of being beaten by me?"

Keeping his mind clear, Hikigaya Hachiman asked in a low voice.

"At least, that guy Daguba can't break my defense."

"..."

When Hikigaya Hachiman heard this, his curiosity instantly suppressed the ultimate darkness, "You also fought with Daguba?"

"Is it weird?"

"Of course it's strange. Isn't that the strongest king of Gurongi? You won?"

"If you want to know the answer, you have to beat me first!"

"It seems there is no room for negotiation."

The dark lines in Hikigaya Hachiman's eyes revealed a cold and dark luster. The murderous aura that was a supplementary skill and could instantly kill any creature within a radius of several kilometers was compressed and concentrated on Kawada Shinichi's body. Then, by manipulating the plasma in the atmosphere, it condensed into a lightning column as thick as a bucket, which fell down, and the ferocious lightning engulfed Kawada Shinichi's thin body.

As he used his advanced power, Hikigaya Hachiman's consciousness became weaker and weaker, and noisy tyranny began to dominate his body. The Yam Damu Spirit Stone was forced to accelerate the transformation of Hikigaya Hachiman's physical fitness, making his body closer to the posture of a combat weapon.

[Fight, fight, fight. It turns out that the ultimate darkness is not only a mental challenge, but also comes from the instinctive desire of the body that has been transformed to be able to fight?]

Hikigaya Hachiman silently felt everything at the moment and gave up recalling his sister's smile in order to stimulate his inner resistance, because he was beginning to completely lose his senses and gradually no longer had any feelings for his so-called sister. It would be useless to think about it anymore.

[Fighting? Looks like the breakthrough point should be here!]

The battle that had been repeated over and over again between his brain and his body's instincts allowed him to find the breakthrough point.

[In that case, let’s end it first!]

Feeling that the timing was good, he activated the backup plan in his body, and the rich power of light burst out from the Yam Damu Spirit Stone with dazzling light.

Different from the light power that replicates the hunter, the light power that is simulated by the Yam Damu Spirit Stone itself belongs to the same source in principle.

That was the external heretical force separated from Prometheus from Yui Hibihama, which made the Yamdum Spirit Stone instinctively disgusted and protest.

In this brief moment, the ultimate darkness lost its endless supply, and Hikigaya Hachiman directly relied on his rich imagination to construct his own rampage and massacre of humans. The scene seen by Hikigaya Komachi was completely materialized in his brain.

“Brother, you must be lying… You~ You are an unconfirmed life form or something… You must be lying, right…”

His senses were fully online, the noisy violence and his body's instinct to fight were gone, making him completely immersed in the real environment, and indescribable pain struck his heart.

He had no idea what he had created afterwards. His sister's grief-stricken face appeared before his eyes. Hikigaya Hachiman escaped directly from the ultimate darkness. The moment he found himself again, he interrupted the sense of synchronized shock memory, cutting off the possibility of the other party's comeback.

"Uh~ So, that's it?"

A complicated question came from beside me.

Chapter 128: Preparations of Both

A slight breeze blew slowly, as if trying to dispel the slightly awkward atmosphere at the moment.

However, as the instigator, Hikigaya Hachiman didn't think anything of it. He said to Kawada Shinichi, who seemed to be full of anger, in a calm tone: "That's it. I can't go berserk now, right?"

The extremely bland rhetorical question seemed to be saying that what Kawada Shinichi had just said was an idiotic question.

"Phew~ All right, you win, brat!"

Kawada Shinichi was helpless about this, but he knew that he couldn't continue fighting, otherwise it would be easy to get into trouble. He could only change back to the Earth Form, and rolled his eyes at the opponent under the mask, "Bye then, uncle, I'm also very busy."

After waving goodbye, he took a deep look at Hikigaya Hachiman, who still maintained his hunter form and refused to change back into human form. He jumped into the air, and a golden mechanical dragon in the image of an oriental dragon suddenly appeared at his feet, carrying him away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The young man quietly glanced at the environment of the back mountain, which had been completely changed beyond recognition by the attack of the lightning pillar just now, and then looked at his hands.

Then he raised his hand, without any movement, and the destroyed environment around him strangely returned to its original state in the blink of an eye.

"Is this the power that Rixon was talking about? No wonder you don't want me to have it. Is this the case?"

Hikigaya Hachiman can now clearly capture the atoms and molecules floating in space, and can control them to transform into what he wants with just a thought.

Of course, the prerequisite is that he needs to understand the overall composition of the substance, but this first condition is only equivalent to copying what he sees when he is in the ultimate darkness, which is not difficult at all.

"I really underestimated it. This feeling of being like a creator is really addictive..."

The young man's hands were trembling slightly, and some terrible thoughts were growing wildly in his mind. He knew that he had really gone too far this time.

"Hunter, take me to the sea..."

"……OK."

The hunter released the fusion form and flew to the sea at an extremely fast speed with Hikigaya Hachiman. Without the other party saying anything, he rushed directly into the cold sea, avoiding the sea areas with many lives, and went deep into the bottom before stopping.

As for the water pressure problem, it poses no threat at all to Hikigaya Hachiman, who has now been completely dehumanized.

The cold touch all over his body, the darkness far away from all marine life and light, and the familiar loneliness in his heart allowed the boy to quietly think about everything that happened tonight.

One person thinks, one person solves problems, one person licks wounds, one person...

------

In the dark night, a cool supercar stopped next to a convenience store. Shizuka Hiratsuka, with a gloomy face, opened the car door, got out, and walked towards the convenience store.

"Please, please, don't... don't take my money. That's the money I used to save my life..."

"Shut up! I just need money to save my life. Since your money is life-saving money, you can use it to save me."

"That's right, if you don't want to be taught a lesson by us, then get out of here, you rubbish uncle..."

"That's what I mean. Don't bother us while we go drink~"

It was obvious that the gangsters were relying on their numbers to blackmail the frail middle-aged man. The conversation reached Shizuka Hiratsuka's ears clearly, making her, who was already in a bad mood and had a strong sense of justice, change her direction and head towards the source of the sound.

The view switches from the convenience store to a darker alley, where a few unkempt young men with colorfully dyed hair, earrings and slightly ostentatious clothes are surrounding a middle-aged man in plain clothes.

She focused her eyes on the wallet in the hand of a thug who seemed to be the leader. After confirming that she had heard correctly, she rushed up quickly without shouting "Stop" or "Don't move" or anything like that.

Because, based on her years of experience, instead of saying these polite words that would not be controversial, it would be better to just rush up and knock the other person down.

So, accompanied by a brief sound of flesh colliding, Hiratsuka Shizuka, in a sneak attack, dealt with the small fry who was not on the same level as her in a few moves. When she was about to turn around and run away as usual, she heard the voice of a middle-aged uncle trying to keep her behind.

"Um...young lady~Sister, please wait a moment..."

Originally, Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't want to have any contact with the other party. After all, sometimes accepting thanks from others was actually a little uncomfortable for her. Her purpose was to help others, not to get thanks from others. Plus, she was a little thin-skinned, so after experiencing that uncomfortable atmosphere once or twice, she would run away unless it was necessary.

But hearing the magnetic voice behind her and the way she was addressed, Shizuka Hiratsuka, who had always longed to be single but always failed, stopped decisively, turned around with a faint blush on her face, and moved awkwardly.

"Are you calling me?"

It was also at this time that she finally saw the man who had been surrounded before. She only saw a man with a stubbled chin, and based on the words of the gangsters, she judged that he was an uncle.

[This uncle is quite handsome, is he single? Did my behavior just now scare him?]

[Speaking of which, does this count as a different kind of hero saving a beautiful girl? In other words, I would have that same heart-throb-like reaction, right?]

[So, he asked me to stay because he wanted to...]

While she was feeling very emotional, the handsome man swallowed his saliva imperceptibly, trying to calm himself down.

"Yes, to thank you for helping me, could you please have a midnight snack with me?"

The handsome uncle deliberately avoided a name that was a little difficult for him to say.

"sure."

Shizuka Hiratsuka agreed without thinking, of course not because of her confidence in her own fighting ability, but because of the fact that a handsome guy asked her out for supper.

Anyway, she was really obsessed with the word "single", so she couldn't help but make an appointment with someone she liked when she saw him.

"I know there's a nice izakaya nearby, if you don't mind..."

"No problem, I'll listen to you."

"...Then, let's go."

The corners of the handsome uncle's mouth twitched slightly. He could only suppress the surging emotions in his heart and swallow back the complaints that were about to come out of his mouth. He walked in front with a smile and led the way. Hiratsuka Shizuka, like a shy little girl, followed quietly behind him with her head down, occasionally glancing at his handsome face with a little shyness.

------

"Bang~"

The hunter rushed out from the bottom of the sea carrying Hikigaya Hachiman. There was no trace of water on either of them, as if it was not them who had just emerged from the water.
