Hikigaya could now be certain that Tirawit Kōkin was soone who couldn't understand jokes.
Because this guy, after agreeing, turned around with a murderous aura and left—he was obviously seriously going to kill soone...
Talking to soone who can't take a joke is pure torture. Did Hikigaya Hachiman's face really look like that of a bloodthirsty killer?
Hikigaya had to stop him with a headache and tell him there was no need to kill—just beating them up would be enough.
A beating was still necessary. Otherwise, if more clueless idiots kept showing up, it would be really annoying.
"Let's all just enjoy a peaceful day today. Oh, and could you guys please clean this place up?"
Wiping his hands clean, Hikigaya tossed away the towel, patted his butt, and got ready to leave.
But just at that mont, his body involuntarily stopped.
A strange sensation was welling up from within him.
His mind suddenly beca excited, his heart beat powerfully, and his body was filled with strength.
This feeling reminded him of that night.
In his field of vision, several of the Yomi disciples also had changes in their expressions—they looked shocked, their eyes all focused behind him.
He slowly turned around.
On the stone he had just been sitting on, sothing new had appeared, floating there.
An eye.
This was an eye that left a deep impression on Hikigaya—one he would never forget. On that night, he had seen many such eyes.
Now, this eye was staring at him coldly.
No—not coldly. It carried a sense of equality. In this eye's view, all life in this world was equal.
The eye emitted a sacred aura, bringing a peaceful feeling. Even the sll of blood that perated the forest seed to vanish, and vitality filled every corner.
"Osiris."
One word at a ti, Hikigaya spoke its na.
He could feel that sothing within him was awakening.
"God-slayer…"
The sacred divine eye spoke:
"I can feel Set's power from your body. Hmm, so this is the power you usurped. That's a bit troubleso."
Damn it. Wasn't Osiris killed by the Marquis? Why is he appearing again? Sure, Osiris's power had manifested strongly that night, but that should be separate from the Unyielding God.
Co to think of it, he hadn't found that golden scarab beetle. The Eye of Horus had also been completely destroyed. Without such diums, their powers should have lost connection with this world.
Even though it was just an eye, Hikigaya had a very bad feeling.
Right now, he was completely unprepared to fight another god!
"My power is recovering slower than I expected. But it doesn't matter. Besides you, there is another. This ti, I will deal with both of you properly."
The giant eyeball continued speaking.
"But since we've t, how about testing yourself against , young God-slayer?"
Test your sister! I don't even know what my authority is yet!
However, that sensation was becoming clearer and clearer...
"You're not coming? You dare challenge Set but not ? That won't do."
The giant eye seed to show so emotion.
"A God-slayer must desire to fight us. I have not yet awakened, but for the battles to co, let at least see your strength. This is the courtesy expected of one who opposes the gods."
Danger!
With no reason at all, Hikigaya felt an extre sense of danger.
Instinctively, he leaped up.
Almost at the sa ti, the place where he had just stood made a strange noise.
Looking down, he saw that the once dry, leaf-covered forest floor had turned into a swamp, and it was writhing—disgusting to look at.
The Yomi disciples also leapt onto the trees with horrified expressions.
The swamp continued to expand, and soon there was no flat ground left in sight.
Hikigaya flipped through the air and landed on a large tree.
Then, a terrifying scene unfolded—every tree began to wither rapidly.
At the sa ti, the earth was becoming more and more wet—no longer was there any solid ground to be found. The sound of rushing water could be heard.
"All humans stand upon my back, God-slayer."
Osiris's eye remained in its original position, though the stone was now gone.
"When I move, the earth will tremble."
Boom—!
The earth split open. A wave of muddy water defied gravity, surged into the sky, turned into a mighty river, and then suddenly fell like a colossal waterfall, crashing down toward Hikigaya.
"Let the waters of the underworld carry you to my kingdom."
The river in the sky transford into a waterfall and poured down on him. Hikigaya thought that even for a godslayer, such a scene was rare.
Let ask again—Marquis, how the hell did you kill this guy back then? Are you sure you didn't summon the author for a cheat code?
At this mont, Hikigaya could see nothing else.
The divine water of Osiris obscured the sky, carrying countless sand and mud, pouring down with unstoppable force and astonishing speed.
As for the Yomi disciples—he couldn't even rember there had been such a group.
Is this it? Is this how the so-called life of a cheat-level existence ends?
At this mont, Hikigaya felt no fear or panic—just absurdity.
Suddenly, he felt it—sothing inside him.
It finally broke through and appeared in his mind.
Hikigaya's gaze changed—becoming strange and fierce.
He landed on a piece of dead wood. The mont his feet touched it, this boiling area emitted a faint sound—one that no living being in this world could hear.
Crack!
The river in the sky, the waterfall, and the churning earth all paused.
Ti didn't stop—but all of that did.
"Oh? You've realized it? You're really troubleso." Osiris's voice remained calm. "But that still isn't enough."
With his voice, everything resud again.
But at this point, Hikigaya had already leapt back up.
He jumped extrely high—like a sharp arrow—straight into the waterfall in the sky.
He charged in.
In the next mont, the waterfall exploded.
The great river was split.
"You really are troubleso. But now I'm sure—you've indeed obtained that power."
Osiris let out a sigh.
Everything around began to return to normal. His power had been cut off.
"Because I once used my power to help you—before you beca a god-slayer—you can now understand , the one who brings life to the earth."
"No, I just like history a lot. And recently, I happened to study a lot about you."
Hikigaya reappeared. At this point, he showed no signs of distress. Centered around him, everything was returning to its original state.
The withered plants regained their green, the flowing water returned to the ground, the overly soggy earth dried up again, and the cracked ground slowly closed.
"You indeed severed my power well. But when I fully awaken—can you still do the sa, Godslayer?"
"That's none of your concern. But like you said—I look forward to our next encounter."
Hikigaya appeared atop the stone, reached out his hand—
Osiris's eye turned into light and disappeared.
