Aleph’s abilities were powerful on their own, but their superimpositiht them to a new level.

  Ratio teique that could affect even cepts, as seen from its effects on intangible curses.

  No Sed Strike, Li Shuwen’s teique that gathers everything into a single point.

  Albion’s passive destru factor that pees everything.

  Yamato that could cut through anything.

  Lastly, his insane cursed energy reserves.

  “Five pert… It’s good enough.”

  Aleph’s current thought speed was enough to trol his cursed energy utilization with zero waste. The sub-skills brought by Great Sage and the new Unique Skill, [Iigator], superimposed together and increased his thought speed absurdly.

  The tter also has a sub-skill that was different from [Great Sage]. Though, the most surprisi was how Great Sage reacted to Iigator.

  {Annou: Unique Skill Iigator has beeed. Parsing informatioablishing e…}

  Just like that, Aleph trolled it through Great Sage—a perfect fit, he must say. He has a vague feeling that Iigator required something, just like Great Sage, but that requirement was removed when it went uhe tter.

  The world became dark blue in his eyes. It was empty at first. Streaks of translut and blurry lights started appearing. They fshed through him, veying the information he wanted one-by-one.

  In Aleph’s eyes, the general history of this world was revealed. Iigator allowed him to see past events that existed in spad time. It was akin to a seargine. With the correct keywords and specific filters, he could ‘view’ what happened in a pce.

  Aire mier, he opened his eyes. He heaved a sigh as he sheathed Yamato back.

  “Five hundred years…”

  Aleph did not know much detailed informatiarding Izumo. Everything he knew came from his foreknowledge. Even so, that knowledge was more than enough to look for the major events i five hundred years.

  From the First Sn (equivalent of First Herrscher), up until the Seventh Sh Herrscher), he saw all seven fights. All of these occurred in the span of five hundred years, and as such, Izumo has a breathing time pared to Earth. It allowed them to have enough time tress their civilization drastically.

  From being on the same level as Earth, their cities have a ‘barrier’ fueled by Divine Power (i.e., equivalent to Honkai Energy).

  heless, it wasn’t enough in the face of the Seventh Sn, the Fmebringer.

  ‘Cities simir to sce-fi books… then the absurd sg of their enemies pared to ours.’

  Aleph wasn’t deterred by his findings. He was still fident with his strength that could single-handedly cause a month’s worth of temporary peace.

  “I should go and greet her. The Mei of this world.”

  *****

  Izumo experienced unimaginable ges over the past five hundred years. From the rule of major tries, it shifted to twelve families. The govers of various tries still exist. It was just that they were now influenced by the families behind them.

  Unsurprisingly, the majority of these families were the ones who made outstanding tributions against the Kami born out of Takamagahara (Divine Realm). As for the rest, they were the ones who repced the prior families who lost power and influence.

  Out of the twelve, only six possessed the power to fight against a Kami (equivalent to a Herrscher). These high-end bat powers separated the families into the upper and lower css.

  Tap.

  Tap.

  Tap.

  A lone figure of a girl walked the desote streets. She wore a white kimono tied by a hakama. It was the usual m outfit their people wear. Spshes of bd red blood made the once pure white kimono gruesome.

  She passed by corpses every now and then. They either beloo ordinary people or the soldiers who possessed divine power.

  Ironically, despite the difference of their strengths, both the ordinary and the unordinary ended up dying all the same.

  “That was…”

  Holding a purple eastern bde akin to a nodachi, she stared at the ‘giant’ that fell silent. Its height of more than a hundred meters made the ey look like a sand castle.

  Its humanoid features could still be seen at a gnce. However, its overall appearance had been deformed to the point it looked like a mix of an ogre made up of bck-red sticky fluids. The fmes is body pulsated every now and then, exemplifying the absurd power it possessed.

  Such a being fell silent as it stared at the night sky. Both it and the girl had a momentary ceasefire.

  The tter held the bde’s haighter. The warm sensation it gave to the girl was the only memory of her deceased father… as well as the aral on ied from their aors four hundred years ago.

  To the people of Izumo, they called it a Edge—the bde that represents an emperor’s authority.

  It was exactly this on that their people gaihe ability to fight these sns—to bee a giant themselves.

  ‘Such power… was it from the sed? No, it doesn’t work like that.’

  The girl woke up from her thoughts. The abominable giant’s gaze turned back to her. The huge fming sword it held begaing deadly fmes. Simultaneously, the girl reacted by projeg a huge bde on her own. The bde’s tip faced sidewards as she readied to deflect the ining blow.

  Divine power flowed into her bde, strug a huge bde that spanned more than fifty meters. The electricity from the bde pierced through dozens of buildings at once. Be it steel or crete, they were all disied.

  Just as their anticipated csh occurred, something appeared right uheir senses. Its… no, ‘his’ existence was signifit enough to cause both the Kami and the girl to tense up.

  Upon a closer look, it was a tall young man who wore a dark blue kimono. His aesthetics made it clear for the girl that he came from Izumo’s side.

  ‘This—!’

  It was too te to stop anything. The Kami did not care about the young man, but she did. In a panic, she tried her best to reduce her bde’s output. Her mi full throttle to analyze everything.

  That was when she entered the third shog thing as of today.

  “I could see what you did, but there’s o.”

  Perception does e to actual speed. Thought speed was faster pared to movement speed. At the girl’s level, it was fast enough for her to perceive a frozen time.

  Yet, the young man in front of her mao move as fast as her thoughts..!

  Bam-!

  Buzz-!

  Fmes and thunder intersected at the young man’s position. It created aremely loud soni across the city. The ground shook. More buildings colpsed due to the sheer impact it caused. The roads cracked apart as the deeper soil yers revealed themselves.

  A huge dust cloud emerged from the sky.

  Amidst them all, the abominable giant and the girl were surprised to see the young man standing still. No amount of damage went through his clothes. The grouood on was already destroyed; his feet floated midair.

  The young man who carried zero ons withstood their attacks!

  “It’s rude not to pay back the favor, no?” His sharp and loud voice rang across the city. “And of course, I am talking about you, big and ugly.”

  “...”

  The purple haired girl became speechless.
