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

He looked up suddenly——

boom! ! !

Streets, houses, walls, and the ground were trampled and crushed by the huge monster that was constantly expanding.

The most naked fear coming from deep within the human heart is being squeezed out of the body along with the desperate screams of passers-by, as if their throats were pinched.

Fire, thick fog, the roar of monsters.

It was just an uneventful day as usual, but in the blink of an eye, the scene of hell reappeared before my eyes.

Humans were finally able to recall their fear of being completely dominated by the gasterozoans.

Rentaro stared at the huge monster so close, his pupils trembled sharply, and his voice trembled several times to the point where he could not speak clearly.

"what is this...?"

On this day, people in the Tokyo area, whether they are the plundered generation or the pure generation, saw hell with their own eyes.

Thick black and red clouds covered the entire Tokyo area in just a few minutes, blocking the clear blue sky, and blazing red thunder rolled in the dark clouds with an eardrum-shattering sound.

An alarm suddenly sounded in the city, ringing through the ears.

All the gadgets in the institution that can sound alarms, whether they are TVs, mobile phones, radios, computer speakers, CD players, air raid alarms or fucking range hoods that can play children's songs, are all screaming desperately.

As if announcing to all humans who witnessed this moment - the end of the world is coming.

This can be solved with a simple steel bullet

It was just a commission, how could it become like this? !

.....

At the same time, the door of Japan's Tokyo Regional Cabinet was hurriedly opened.

"Lord Holy Emperor! A primitive intestinal creature suddenly appeared out of thin air in the Tokyo area——"

There was no need for him to say this at all, because now in this room that represented all the most powerful people in Tokyo, Japan, everyone's eyes were fixed on the window.

"YiiiiirRRAAaaa——!!!" The monster's voice of complaint once again echoed through the entire Tokyo area. The beautiful girl standing in front of the window turned pale, and her whole body stiffened as if out of control, unable to make any response.

The ruler of Tokyo area—Sheng Tianzi.

But now, she is just a girl who just celebrated her 16th birthday.

"We are not blind! Have you found out what it is?!" A slender old man with a trembling beard next to Sheng Tianzi yelled at the intruding intelligence personnel. Currently, he is the only one who can maintain the most basic sense and calmness.

The intelligence officer looked out the window at the huge monster that reached up to the sky. The vibration caused by it just moving its waist could be detected several kilometers away.

The gorgeous crystal chandelier swayed loudly above the head, and accompanied by various alarm noises outside the window, the intelligence officer who was kneeling on the ground with his legs weak said loudly: "I don't know! I don't know everything!! No. There is no information, no login record, and no witness record. It seems like a monster that suddenly descended on this world and was born for the purpose of destruction!!!"

He shook his head wildly, and then pulled up his hair violently, as if his emotions had collapsed——

"But the only thing that's certain is..."

"That's [Stage Five Beyond the Zodiac]!"

boom----

The moment the intelligence officer's roaring words fell, a huge shock wave swept across the entire city. Under everyone's dumbfounded gaze, a huge, surging mushroom cloud, shining like daylight, was rising from the ground. rise.

The Zodiac is the general name for Stage 5 gasterozoans. It is a temporary code name given to the zodiac animals by the United States and Japan during the Gastrea War. It is now a common name. , there are eleven sightings around the world. It displayed terrifying combat power in the war ten years ago, and was an existence that once brought mankind to the brink of extinction.

It has a huge body that far exceeds the size of Stage 4, a hard skin that is completely ineffective with ordinary weapons, molecular-level regeneration capabilities, and the ability to not be affected by the magnetic field of the monolith.

Beyond the zodiac, there is an extraterrestrial existence that cannot be matched by any stage five that humans have witnessed since ancient times.

Stronger, more desperate...

It’s also more perfect.

"So please ask Lord Holy Emperor to take refuge immediately!"

"..."

"....Escape?"

The beautiful girl known as the Holy Emperor slowly turned her head. The background outside the window was dazzling white. At the junction of the pure white and dark red sky, a huge unknown fear was raging on the earth. Above, the hemispherical white light of destruction is rapidly spreading outwards, ruthlessly sweeping everything with the most savage attitude, making people tremble.

Her trembling lips parted, and she asked a question that no one could answer right now:

"Where can we take refuge?"

For a moment, there was silence everywhere.

Chapter 32 All the joys and sorrows in this world are turned into ashes

--Why?

Why did it become like this?

The high temperature and impact that could burn the rock gently blew on Cheng Rang's face, but it couldn't even shake his skin. He knelt motionless at the center of the explosion, holding a series of charred balls tightly in his hands. ash.

The ashes that were not tightly grasped by him were irrevocably lost in the air like weathered gravel from Cheng Rang's embrace in the impact of white light.

The ashes were still shouting to themselves just a second ago——

"Brother Cheng, run!"

.....

Even the last tears could not fall from the eyes, they were evaporated and ionized by the terrifying high temperature...

"Lina?"

".....future?"

In this blinding and roaring white light, he called in vain over and over again, but could hear nothing and see nothing.

【Ding】

[Main mission - How to use props (in progress → temporarily suspended)]

[Acquire the status of "Police-Promoter", obtain the Initiator, and increase the IP ranking to the top 500. Current IP ranking: **

[Start by: Lina...

——Dead]

[Players are asked to obtain the starter again to continue the mission]

Only the cold system prompts echoing in my mind clearly informed me:

The ashes in this hand...

"Lina...Lina?"

Cheng Rang called her name over and over in vain.

But there is no one here who can answer him with a smile and throw himself into his arms. That petite and cute figure... No one can hold his cold hand anymore.

All that's left is the carbonized and shattered ashes tightly clutched in the palm of his hand, and the burning pain that can make his heart feel like it's been pierced remains.

"why

Well...why can't Avalon heal Mirai Hongo? ! "

[The target DNA has been rewritten to a degree of more than 50%. According to the judgment, [Special Noble Phantasm: The Utopia of Independence from the World] will repair genes and bodies that exceed 50%. 】

"I see... So the future has become a monster?"

[This is a perfect cure, a miracle that can even cure curses. 】

Cheng Rang listened to the system's cold answer, his breathing stagnated for a moment, and he even couldn't help but laugh.

He looked at the huge monster standing in front of him. The thick armor was even reflecting a dazzling luster. She was raising her head high and whining toward the dark red sky.

"You call this... a miracle?"

"Hehe...hehe...hehehehahahahaha!!"

Cheng Rang suddenly threw his head back and laughed. With his trembling body and twitching mouth corners, he lost all strength in his laughter.

Then he let go of his tightly clenched palms.

In Cheng Rang's hand, the light that represented his last hope, the "light" that had turned into ashes in his arms, was floating in the air.

"I'm sorry, Lena."

.....

"I'm sorry...future..."

All the joys and sorrows in this world have been turned into ashes. I can no longer walk with you on any road.

【warn! Players have a tendency to destroy the world! Three warnings are invalid, and the player will be randomly bounced back to the main world——]

"No, I'm warning you, system, shut the fuck up, or this knife will hit you right now."

Cheng Rang's tone was frighteningly calm at the moment. His right hand had firmly grasped the long knife in his hand, and he sent a final warning mixed with bone-chilling chills to the system in his mind that could only beep.

The majestic and strongest sword intent instantly breaks through the shackles of the system and infuses the blade with the power of vast rules.

Click... click click click——

【......】

For some unknown reason, perhaps because the system was interfered with by something, it fell silent for the first time in front of Cheng Rang before even finishing its words - it stopped abruptly.

Click! Click...click! ! !

The sound of sour teeth like glass being crushed bit by bit spread from the palm of Cheng Rang's hand to the surroundings. As the "original intention" slowly unsheathed, the "power" that was dubbed the strongest sword god was being released without reservation. .

This is Cheng Rang's [full strength] that has never been shown in front of the system.

In these short thirty seconds, he completely abandoned his identity as a [player], and with the [full power] possessed by the [strongest sword god]——

Crush the world inch by inch without any resistance.

If the system could still issue warnings now, it would have discovered that Cheng Rang's restricted personal panel data was exploding at an incredible speed.

Yes – a blast.

"I've always been [used to] your system, but I find it boring——"

The blade of the sword was finally fully withdrawn from the scabbard, and the "power" accumulated in it had reached its ultimate state.

There is no fancy, simply wave it down, and then the curtain comes to an end for what you failed to promise.

The name of this sword is——

"nameless."

.......

Just when everyone could only watch helplessly as the nuclear explosion shock wave swept through the entire city like a second sun, crushing everything without resistance.

The world stopped for a moment.

Then all destruction faded away, like shattered bubbles in a nightmare.

The new stage of five gastrea organisms that had attracted the world's attention and descended on the Tokyo area disappeared out of thin air.

Together with the impact that destroyed everything, it disappeared.

Rentaro and Enju, who were trying their best to escape in the direction away from the final blast heart, suddenly...

The dark red thunderclouds disappeared, the blue sky returned again, making people feel the warm sunshine shining on the body, and the gravel that was lifted up was spread on the ground without any power.

Like a dream.

Rentaro looked at the suddenly calm and intact streets in front of him, his neck stiffened and he turned his back.

Bounded by his own heels, a huge pit of despair that makes one want to collapse on the ground appears smoothly in front of him.

One side is a normal street, while the other side is a meaningless semi-circular pit. Except for the black molten earth and stone that is still slowly cooling, everything has become nothingness.

It can't even be called [ruin], but [nothingness].

These scenes brought Rentaro as much shock as witnessing the gastrea war with his own eyes, causing his knees to weaken and he knelt down on the edge of the giant pit.

"This is...stage five?"
