Hikigaya Hachiman is Kuuga?

So, the boy and the girl both looked at him with worry in their eyes.

Not long after, Kawada Shinichi withdrew his hand and said with a somewhat grim expression: "The situation is a bit bad."

"Tell me more about it."

"I think you also know that Gills is in a state where the light power in his body is not fully awakened due to various reasons in the host's body."

After hearing the information he knew, Hikigaya Hachiman nodded decisively.

"Because of the lack of light power, their energy supply has problems. Light power can give humans superpowers at first, but if it is overused, various adverse reactions will occur, and in serious cases, even death."

Hearing this, scenes of Yukinoshita Yukino using her super powers in the past emerged in her mind.

"In fact, at the moment your superpowers awakened, you were slowly becoming Agito and were also going through the first level of the test."

"A test, eh?"

Kawada Shinichi looked at the girl and nodded affirmatively, "That's right. After gaining superpowers, some people always think that they are chosen by God, a great existence that should be superior to others, or that they have been unfairly bullied in their past lives, which makes the negative emotions in their hearts run wild."

"As time went by, he was gradually robbed of his sanity by an overly powerful force, becoming a slave to his own desires, and falling into a rampage from which he could never turn back."

"That's why He said we are polluted. To some extent, the power of light is indeed the power that allows us to break free from the wings of protection and progress on our own, but it is also a terrible test."

The more he spoke, the colder Kawada Shinichi's expression became.

"Okay, then the second stage is to screen each person based on their qualifications and the use of their superpowers during the process of slowly evolving into Agito."

"Using overload too many times will speed up the erosion of the body. Some people's light power is not pure enough, which will cause it to be unable to keep up with the progress of body transformation, making it impossible for the host to become a sub-giant and can only degenerate into a sub-form, that is, Gills."

"That's what the lack of light power is talking about."

"Regardless of good and bad, Gills's chance of going berserk is much lower than that of Agito. In fact, as long as you don't suffer too much mental trauma and transform into Gills too much to fight, then theoretically you can remain normal until the day you die."

Kawada Shinichi's expression became increasingly cold, and his appearance made Hikigaya Hachiman feel a little uneasy, but it did not stop him from continuing to talk.

Because, with the increasingly perverted perception of the Pegasus form, he could feel that something that seemed very heavy was slowly being released from the other party's heart.

After realizing this, even though he was feeling uneasy, he calmed down and forced himself to stop any defensive actions.

As for Yukinoshita Yukino next to her, he noticed that she didn't notice anything unusual about her.

[It seems that I was too worried about Yuigahama, and because what she said was closely related to me, and there were a lot of unexpected situations today, I was unable to deal with too many things for the time being, and thus ignored the abnormal situation. Or is it related to Kawada Shinichi and Agito?]

He kept this question in his mind, ready to think carefully about the connection when he had time, and refocused his attention on Shinichi Kawada.

"But how can it be that simple? Human desire is a double-edged sword. If it is not handled properly, it is easy to bring about self-destruction."

"And after getting used to the convenience of super powers and Gills's greater strength than humans, how many people can refuse?"

"Then, when they found out that Gills' power required a price in the form of life, while Agito was self-sufficient, with only a so-called test of the heart, and nothing would happen if he passed it, their jealousy slowly grew."

"In addition, Agito's character becomes more reckless as he uses his power, which further exacerbates the growth of jealousy."

"There are also death threats from angels, so Gills' death rate has always been much higher than that of Agito."

[Isn't this a dead end? If you don't want to be killed by the angels, you have to use Gills to protect yourself, or seek protection from Agito. The former is a slow suicide, and the latter also has the risk of being killed by rampage.]

Thinking of this, Hikigaya Hachiman felt that Gills' death seemed to be a foregone conclusion.

"So, what's the solution?"

Yukinoshita Yukino asked hurriedly.

"There is indeed a way. We just need to find someone whose light power has been awakened or even has a certain strength, and give her some of it."

"Although the replenished light power will not allow her to become an Agito, the problem of energy supply has been solved and her vitality will no longer be wasted."

"Then..."

"But once the power of light is shared with her, the chance of the person lacking the power of light going berserk will greatly increase. In other words, it is very likely that the person will go berserk on the spot."

Before the girl could finish her words, she was interrupted by Kawada Shinichi's cold voice.

"Also, you will then fall into the same fate of consuming your life force, even if the amount you consume is small, it will still exist."

His eyes held a terrifying scrutiny that made Yukinoshita Yukino instinctively feel a sense of fear. It was a fear that she was somewhat familiar with, having felt once before but would never forget. It was a fear that came from the soul.

"So, you still want to differentiate your light power and give it to this so-called friend?"

The voice carried an inexplicable rhythm, causing Yukinoshita Yukino to subconsciously repeat the question to herself in her mind. At the same time, memories of her time with Yuigahama Yui began to emerge from her brain one by one.

"Do you have the determination to save her even if it means sacrificing your own life?"

On the other side of her brain, her life experiences began to emerge. The girl seemed to feel a scale appearing between the two, as if comparing the weight of the two.

Hikigaya Hachiman noticed the strange behavior of Yukinoshita Yukino, and he also knew that it was Shinichi Kawada's doing, but he did not choose to stop it. Instead, he watched the development of the situation silently.

Chapter 135: Douzhen's First Test

Everyone has a scale in his heart to measure the interests of each choice to himself, so as to make options that are beneficial to him.

What Shinichi Kawada did was simply to make Yukinoshita Yukino's inner emotions richer, allowing her to carefully examine their relationship and make the most true choice in her heart, thus fulfilling another test for the girl.

Hikigaya Hachiman was very clear about all this, so he did not stop Kawada Shinichi, because sooner or later Yukinoshita Yukino would have to face these things, it was just a matter of time.

His presence at the scene would provide an extra layer of insurance so that no tragedy would occur and the possibility of the other party going berserk would increase, so he watched the development of the situation silently.

[Do I really have to sacrifice my life to save Yuigahama Yui, a friend I’ve only known for a few months and don’t know if we can be friends for life?]

[I haven’t surpassed my sister on my own yet, I haven’t gained my parents’ attention yet, and there are still many things I haven’t tried. I’ve only lived for more than a decade.]

[Do I really have to sacrifice my whole life for a so-called friend?]

The weight on "my" side began to increase continuously, and the scale began to tilt towards "my" side.

[Yes, I don’t need to gamble my life in exchange for another person’s possibly short life.]

[But, my own life is not necessarily that long, and I am always in a battle where I don’t know if there will be a tomorrow, so why should I worry about so many things?]

As the weight of "others" began to increase, the tilt of the scale stopped and began to slowly tilt to the other side.

[Also, since you said you want to protect others' tomorrow and future, it's a bit unreasonable to still care about your own life.]

[I was risking my own life to save others, and now there is a life waiting in front of me, so there is no need to hesitate.]

The scale in her mind had disappeared, and the girl's fiery red compound eyes emitted a scorching light.

"Then use my power of light!"

"No regrets?"

Hikigaya Hachiman clearly captured the fleeting upward curve at the corner of Shinichi Kawata's mouth.

"will not!"

Without giving any high-sounding reasons, the girl just replied calmly.

"But you can't use the power of light."

However, Kawada Shin's words made the girl, who was prepared for the disaster, furious. If it weren't for her good education and the fact that she really couldn't beat the old man in front of her who was even more powerful than her ancestor, she guaranteed that she would punch him, which could be seen from her clenched fists.

"So, I can't give back the light power that I separated from her, right?"

"Don't you have any idea?"

Facing Kawada Shinichi's big eye roll, Hikigaya Hachiman sighed silently.

Of course he knew what the other party said. The hunter had a very close relationship with him. In addition, Yuigahama Yui's power of light was fusion, so the power of light would be more or less mixed with some ultimate darkness.

In this case, asking him to hand over the power of light would not help Yuigahama Yui, but would push her to death, so he is also powerless in terms of the power of light.

"So……"

"It's useless. Your current situation is the same. Restoring your strength won't have much of an impact, but you don't have to think about anything else."

As if understanding what he was about to say, Kawada Shinichi interrupted him directly.

Hearing this, Hikigaya Hachiman's worries were put to rest. Even though he didn't have much contact with Kawada Shinichi, he still knew his character and abilities very well.

"So, you have a solution, right?"

"I can indeed replenish her light power, so that she can be self-sufficient when she transforms in the future, and it won't consume her vitality."

"If I remember correctly, you said the situation was a bit bad. Could it be related to Yuigahama's ability to kill the Spider Angel with one move?"

Kawada Shin nodded, "Yes, I don't know if it's because her obsession is too deep, or maybe it's because she just happens to have a good affinity with the [Eye of the End], and has the ability of causality that can make things come to an end instantly."

"Causality? Could it be..."

In an instant, Hikigaya Hachiman, who was in Pegasus form, thought of many things.

"You guessed correctly. This might be His first question."

Hikigaya Hachiman looked at Yukinoshita Yukino next to him and found that she did not move at all. In his senses, the molecules and atoms also stopped moving. He was very clear about this situation, but he was puzzled that Kawada Shinichi in front of him could still move.

"What's so strange about that? I don't know how many years have passed. It would be unreasonable if I didn't have some tricks, right?"

Then, under the confused look of Hikigaya Hachiman, he casually greeted Toma who was slowly appearing.

"Yo~ Long time no see, Touma!"

"...Yeah, it's been a long time indeed."

Hikigaya Hachiman saw an emotion called guilt on the face of the God.

"Nkulu is right. This is indeed the first test I set. The Eye of the End can see the death line of not only living things, but anything."

"That is to say, she has the ability to decide the life and death of many things."

"Even if Nkulu doesn't use his inclusive power to allow her to transform into Gills without consuming her own vitality, as she uses the [Eye of the End] more often, she will get rid of this drawback and become self-sufficient."

"And you should all know what I want to see, right?"

Faced with Touma's question, Hikigaya Hachiman and Kawada Shinichi both knew the answer. It was simply a test of whether Yuigahama Yui could maintain her nature and not become a slave controlled by power, where the life and death of certain things were decided by her personal will.

"alright, I got it."

He didn't ask what the reward would be for passing the test, because when Hikigaya Hachiman gave Toma the so-called [Eye of the End] that could see through everything, he understood that the other party must be slowly losing patience and was disappointed with these human children who were no longer "pure".

Otherwise, how could He hand over the [Eye of the End] that could decide other people's life and death to a Gills who would go berserk?

He must be very clear about what kind of massacre would be caused if something goes wrong, but he still set such a test. It is obvious that he does not want to wait any longer, so Hikigaya Hachiman has no choice but to let Yuigahama Yui pass the test and let Him see the possibilities of mankind. Otherwise, there is no need to think about Gurongi, ultimate darkness and the like.

Because, for the Creator God, destroying these things is just a simple idea.

After receiving the reply from Hikigaya Hachiman, Toma nodded, turned his head to look at Kawada Shinichi beside him, opened his mouth to say something, but found that he could not form a complete sentence, and then he chose to disappear.

"You wouldn't tell me even if I asked you, right? Just like you never tell me about ancient times."

"They are just old stories. You have seen many similar stories about old guys like us in many movies, TV series, comics, novels, etc. There is no point in telling them."

Shinichi Kawada waved his hand and rejected Hikigaya Hachiman's request to know the truth.

"Okay, time will soon begin to flow. I think you should be very clear about the rules. We cannot reveal the requirements of the test. All you can do is guide. Of course, if you do it yourself, believe me, He will be happier."

"Do you believe in idiots?"

"But fools are different from fools. Different living environments, life experiences, and personal thinking habits will lead to different outcomes."

"I believe her!"

Kawada Shinichi smiled and said, "Okay, let me wait and see!"

A pure white light with a hint of grayish white condensed from his hand, transformed into a ball of light and merged into the body of the unconscious Yuigahama Yui. In Hikigaya Hachiman's perception, he could clearly sense that the vitality consumed in the girl's body was replenished.

"Okay, I have nothing to do now, so I'm leaving."

Hikigaya Hachiman silently watched Kawada Shinichi disappear, clenched and unclenched his right hand, and then bowed towards the place where he had just stayed.

“Thank you, Nkulu!”

Chapter 136: What Miura Yumiko Noticed

"Hmm? Is Yuigahama-san okay?"

The doubtful voice of Yukinoshita Yukino sounded in his ears, bringing Hikigaya Hachiman, whose brain was working wildly, back to his senses.

"Well, that guy has helped Yuigahama solve the problem. Let's go back first. If there are angels during this period, you two can take turns. Is there any problem with normal training at night?"

"……no problem."

Even though she received an affirmative answer from Hikigaya Hachiman, Yukinoshita Yukino, whose perception was particularly outstanding in the flame form, vaguely felt that she seemed to have forgotten something, and that the boy in front of her was hiding something from her.

Out of trust in the boy, she did not point it out, or perhaps she probably guessed the reason why he did not say it, so she wisely chose to ignore it.
