I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

Zabu, who was holding his stomach, looked at the stunned people around him.

"Eh? What's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that? What happened?"

Zab waved his arms in front of Stephen's face, but didn't seem to get a response.

"—Hello? Is anyone listening? Moxi Moxi?"

...

Chapter 21 The pursuit is not the pinnacle

After the dust settled, the "monsters" left here with the monsters, leaving only the Lebra people who had just recovered their senses, and the Daniel Police Department who stood there with eyes blurred and didn't know what he was thinking.

"That... I'm really, really sorry..."

Klaus and Stephen came to Daniel and apologized for the disorderly behavior of the members of the association, but it seemed that Daniel did not listen and showed no reaction.

Still looking dumbfounded.

"It's so pitiful that I passed out just standing there..."

"After all, this is equivalent to witnessing the world about to be shattered before your eyes, and then being easily crushed by an even more incomprehensible existence."

Zabu echoed Jett's words beside him. The two people who had just learned about the whole process from other people were only slightly concerned about it.

Surprised.

After all, we know that Letitia is very strong, and Cheng Rang that monster is stronger than her...

"I'm starving...go get something to eat, the smelly fish is gone!"

"It's best not to overeat. It will damage your body. Because time has actually been accelerated, our current state is a 100% hunger strike for a week.

"——Long-winded!"

...

"How is Isa now?"

"It's nothing serious. It's just excessive physical exertion. I need to rest at home."

On the way, the two people who had just prepared to destroy the world and the one who casually saved the world chatted one after another. However, Julius, who was dragged by Cheng Rang, did not dare to move and was treated as a sandbag. Drag on the ground.

These two monsters....

"What you mean is that when Isa was practicing the spell, her physical strength was excessively exhausted due to the accelerated flow of time..."

"Um."

"That... does have something to do with him." Cheng Rang lowered his head and looked at Julius. The moment their eyes came into contact, Julius quickly moved his eyes away as if he was stung.

"If it's serious, it might be life-threatening."

"That's why you're so angry... isn't that right?" Cheng Rang frowned, realizing that things were not simple.

"Letitia, since when did your relationship with Isa become so good?"

I have never seen Leticia get so angry over someone before.

Cheng Rang narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that something was not good about him.

"She...she is my disciple, so it's natural to care about her! By the way, what are you going to do with this person?" Leticia immediately changed the subject.

The gaze that seemed to be filled with heat swept over his body, making Julius tremble all over.

"He... I remember that this thing and him are both tools for the collapse of the world." Cheng Rang took the half bone mask from Julius's arms and played with it twice. "I don't understand. Throw it to Elaine. Judging from his appearance, he probably doesn't have any intention of causing trouble."

"According to the law here, it is a crime to do this." Although Leticia reminded her, everyone knew that she did not take this matter as anything important.

"Harm, just tell the HLPD that you can't control this thing for the time being. Our Scranton Foundation Research Institute will make it harmless first, and then throw it back to them after the research is completed."

After all, this thing is a trouble wherever it goes. After getting something valuable, it is just right to throw the trouble back to the United States to deal with.

Leticia sighed softly and said: "You just let him go like this? It's really not like your style."

"Haha, you know, when your strength reaches a certain level, you will be able to see a lot of things."

"....So what did you do?"

"Run away and be the sole god for a while, it's no big deal." Cheng Rang said in a calm tone, as if he was casually talking about something indifferent.

"...."

"ha?"

————————————

After receiving a call from the shopkeeper of her own family, Elaine, who ran over in a hurry, looked at the "surprise" in front of her and almost smiled from ear to ear.

Then, the two world-collapse auxiliary devices, Naktowa's Smile and the End-of-Day Compression Clock (Julias), were stuffed into the anomaly neutralization standard storage box, put on a truck and driven away.

Falling into the hands of that red-haired man would probably make him feel better... From the drool dripping from the corner of Elaine's mouth, it can be seen how hot a potato this is for those who know the goods.

"Go back." Cheng Rang habitually slapped his hands that were not stained with dust twice and greeted Letitia who looked complicated next to him.

Taking two quick steps to follow Cheng Rang, Leticia still asked.

"What's going on when you say you're going to be the only god!? I can't find even a hint of divinity in you -"

"So it was just for a while..."

"Huh?! What do you mean? Could it be that you thought it was boring for a while and then changed it again?"

"It's not that it's not interesting... I just think it's quite troublesome."

"Trouble!?" Leticia's big eyes were full of doubts. She grabbed her hair and shouted in disbelief: "Do you know what you gave up! That is omniscience, omnipotence, absolute control, eternity... .”

"Yes, yes... of course I know..." Cheng Rang waved his hands impatiently and pushed away the white-haired lolita who kept putting her face up to her and yelling, "So it's too troublesome to hurry up. Well, just give it to someone else to pawn."

"Is that still something I can give away if I co-write it!?"

"Well, in that world there is something called the [Star Cup]. As long as you get it, you can become the only god. Compared to me who will leave there, there is someone more suitable to own it than me."

"...Then how did you get it?" Although Leticia had a vague guess, she still asked in order to confirm her guess.

"The concept that defeated that world is the strongest."

Leticia's eyes were fierce

He jumped hard, pursed his thin lips and stared at Cheng Rang. This guy stared for a long time but couldn't say a word.

She really didn't know how to evaluate this guy.

For what most people want to obtain, which represents the ultimate power to dominate the world, they can actually say in such a relaxed and indifferent tone: Give it to others.

In this case, this kind of thing... Leticia could only admit very helplessly and frankly - she couldn't do it.

After all, she couldn't let go of even simple obsessions.

I want to achieve the reality of death, understand the ultimate meaning of the curse, and achieve the realm of the curse god.

No matter how hard he tried, he could not overcome the hurdle that made him stagnate, but Cheng Rang kept making progress on the road to the top.

Even after touching that wall and gaining the strength to climb over that wall, I was able to give up without hesitation.

Leticia stopped and gently pulled Cheng Rang's clothes.

"What's wrong?"

In Cheng Rang's puzzled eyes, she raised her head and asked slowly: "So, you who can give up even that kind of power...what are you pursuing?"

But who would have expected that Cheng Rang was just stunned for a moment after hearing Leticia's question, and then laughed.

"It is precisely because the moment I had that power that the thing I was looking for left me, that I gave it up."

Cheng Rang looked up at the familiar foggy sky above the streets of HL city.

"The existence at the top is always a bit too lonely and impersonal, isn't it?"

Letitia once again felt the unpleasant feeling of being rubbed by someone on her head. When she subconsciously frowned, her eyes met with Cheng Rang's lowered head.

She seemed to see something in those black eyes as bright as stars.

What he is looking for is...

When I return home, I am greeted by the warm light, the faint aroma of books, and the rising white mist of black tea. And the girl who stood up from the sofa with a smile greeted her.

A reassuring and relaxing atmosphere surrounds Leticia.

"Welcome back~Master...ah, no, Senior Leticia!"

"Hey, Isa, don't you see there's someone else here?"

The girl's beautiful blue eyes widened cutely. She covered her mouth and exclaimed in disbelief: "....Let!"

"I miss you so much~~"

Isabella threw herself into Cheng Rang's arms and excitedly showed off to him the conjurer graduation badge she had received.

Feeling that she was almost used to everything, Leticia suddenly realized...

These are warmths that I have never experienced before.

I see--

She smiled softly and said:

"I'm back."

Chapter 22 So-and-so’s boyfriend

"This...what, situation?"

KK was stunned and looked at the man with a gray beard in front of him, and he could vaguely see that it was Klaus.

"I've been on this mission for three days, not thirty years, right?!"

Stephen explained to KK with a wry smile.

"A user with the ability to speed up the passage of time. His influence alone made Claudius become like this?"

"How do you feel, KK?" But Klaus seemed satisfied with his more mature appearance, even stroking his beard like an old man.

The corner of KK's mouth twitched: "Uh, um... uncle's speed has increased sharply. I can't tell whether it's the sideburns or the beard."

"By the way, where is the little Zabu?"

"Hospitalized." Jeter shrugged his shoulders and replied: "Because the actual situation at that time was equivalent to going through a hunger strike for several weeks, and he immediately shouted that he was hungry and ran away to eat fried chicken, which ended up ruining his stomach."

"Eh? But weren't you with him?"

"I started with fruit juice and gradually progressed to rice soup, porridge, miso soup, fruits and vegetables... It probably took a while to get back to the original state."

"You are really impeccable..."

Stephen scratched his head aside with lingering fear: "It was really a terrifying scene at the time. This time, luck is on our side, and we have finally passed this test."

"This guy Cheng is as outrageous as ever. He seems to be much stronger when he comes back this time."

Klaus: "Julias and Naktowa's Smile have been transferred back from the institute to Homeland Security."

Stephen smiled evilly and said: "But if something like this happens once, it may come back again. I'll leave it to you then, KK..."

KK immediately rolled his eyes, with the word "unwilling" written all over his expression, covered his ears and fell down on the sofa.

"Hey, are you so reluctant, KK!?"

"I don't want to!! Even if you kill me, I won't have to face that kind of enemy who forces people to grow old!!"

"Don't be so pessimistic. Sister, you are a sniper. You can solve it with just two bullets from a few hundred meters away, right?"

Jane, who appeared on the back of the sofa, pinched her cheeks, trying to cheer up KK, who was holding her body and shaking on the sofa.

But even though it was a joke, it still brought a big blow to the woman who was about to enter middle age.

"It seems that as a human woman, the topic of anti-aging is a hot topic that will never go out of style." The squinty-eyed boy Leo summed it up.

KK: "What should I do! Me too

I wish I could stay young forever like Leticia-! "

The silver-haired loli raised her head from behind the book when she heard the sound, with half-open eyes and a helpless expression on her face: "Do you understand that I also envy your physique, gossip girl."
