Chapter 1281: Kishinami: You Could Use More Strength Too
"What is that thing?"
On the other side of Kinojo City, in the Minamoto residence of the residential district.
Okita Souji stared dumbfounded at the giant towering into the clouds in the distance.
Not just her, Minamoto no Raikou, Gudako, and others were also staring at the thing with shocked expressions.
"Don't look directly at it!"
Morgan frowned deeply, her face full of apprehension.
She instantly waved her wand, setting up a barrier around them to block the view.
"Why can't we look, sister-in-law?"
Okita Souji gave Morgan a puzzled look.
But immediately after, she understood on her own.
Even though she had stopped looking, the enormous female form kept flashing through her mind. She couldn't stop thinking about how beautiful the giant was, and her heartbeat gradually intensified.
"You should all go back and rest for now."
Morgan had no choice but to let Okita Souji and several others showing similar symptoms return to their rooms to rest.
"Your Majesty Morgan, what exactly is that?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka approached with a very pale complexion.
"You're unaffected?"
Morgan looked at her somewhat surprised.
"I'm fine."
Fujimaru Ritsuka examined her own mental state—it was still relatively normal.
Mash, however, was somewhat dazed and was helped away by Pepe to rest.
"That is the completed form of a Beast."
Morgan gazed solemnly beyond the barrier that only she could see, where the massive light body emitted endless allure.
"Your Chaldea has defeated quite a few Beasts so far, but what's the ratio between adult forms and larval forms among them?"
"Well... only Beast I Goetia and Beast II Tiamat were adult forms."
Fujimaru Ritsuka wiped cold sweat from her forehead.
Beyond those, Kishinami, Kama, and others were all larval forms that hadn't fully matured!
Even so, Tiamat was the self-sealing type—her true power remains difficult to gauge even now. As for Goetia, needless to say, if the doctor hadn't self-destructed back then, Earth would have been finished!
But now, here in Kinojo City, another adult-form Beast had appeared?!
Should this be expected of the finals to select Earth's UO?
This place is full of monsters everywhere!
Fujimaru Ritsuka even began to regret not listening to Eiji's advice to leave this Singularity earlier. In a competition like this, she had no idea how long contestants like her and Mash could survive!
Unfortunately, ever since entering this cyber space, they had completely lost contact with Chaldea.
Faced with Mooncell's technological prowess, Chaldea's technology might as well not exist.
"For a Beast to reveal its true form like that clearly means it's going all out."
Morgan turned her head, her eyes reflecting the image of that part of the sky.
"Who's fighting against that thing? It couldn't be..."
...
"Wow, the entire stage has suddenly descended into chaos!"
Eiji clicked his tongue while gazing at the now much-expanded Kinojo City.
Kishinami's terrifying allure had robbed almost all participants of their rationality!
Meaning that even those who had been hiding and conserving their strength had instantly joined the bloody fray!
The remaining three hundred thousand survivors were all tearing into each other!
The number of remaining contestants was plummeting by thousands every second!
This was the most terrifying aspect of Beast Ⅲ!
Moreover, this one had truly achieved successful metamorphosis as a Beast!
Kishinami's Beast foundation had already been completed during the CCC collaboration event, only to be defeated before metamorphosis, resulting in a massive loss of power.
As long as the lost power was replenished and given some time to develop, successful metamorphosis was only natural!
And these two missing components could be perfectly fulfilled within this Singularity!
Eiji had inadvertently provoked such a monster!
No wonder she appeared so confident from the start, intending to keep Eiji—this first-class candidate—here. She had already regained her power and surpassed her previous state!
"My, my, my vision isn't very useful after growing so large. I suppose I can only blame you for being too small—where are you looking?"
A leisurely, coquettish laugh echoed.
"Womb Realm · Principle Fist Seal!"
"BOOM!!!"
In the blink of an eye, a massive fist dozens of meters wide descended from the sky, shattering layers of air as it crashed down before Eiji with the force of a falling meteor.
In that instant, invisible magical energy sealed off the entire world before him.
Eiji only had time to deploy several layers of gemstone shields in front of himself.
"CRACK!"
Each layer, capable of withstanding a strike from a holy sword, shattered like leaf veins the moment the fist made contact, piercing through almost without resistance!
A black shadow was sent flying like a missile.
The figure traced a trajectory several kilometers long through the sky, piercing through countless buildings before finally crashing on the opposite side of Konojoshi City.
"I'll return your earlier words to you, unchanged."
Kishinami stood perfectly straight, her entire body enveloped in light, with only a sacred silhouette visible.
"You can use a bit more strength. I can still handle it."
Like a broadcast across the entire area, her voice spread throughout Konojoshi City.
She could feel it.
At this moment, countless eyes were fixed upon her.
Her unparalleled charm had driven the mental systems of nearly all contestants into chaos, but she clearly understood that her power wasn't invincible. Even on this Earth, there were many who could rival her, and some who even surpassed her.
At this moment, those candidates belonging to the first, second, and third classes must be watching this battle from afar.
There might even be hidden opportunists among them.
Fighting Eiji to a mutual standoff now wasn't truly wise.
But Kishinami wasn't normal; everything she did was solely for her own pleasure. As long as she could obtain immense ecstasy, even plunging into danger was completely worth it!
And conquering Eiji would undoubtedly bring her tremendous pleasure!
"...Hmph, has successful metamorphosis made you this arrogant?"
On the opposite side of Konojoshi City.
A figure slowly rose from a fissure in the ground, hovering in mid-air.
It was a youth of extraordinary grace and handsomeness. Even with his upper garments torn to shreds and his body covered in dust, his irrepressible charm remained undiminished.
Yet at this moment, the presence he radiated was far overshadowed by the colossal luminous entity.
Even Eiji had to admit it.
In terms of charm alone, Kishinami, who had successfully metamorphosed, likely surpassed him.
Facing Kishinami directly, Eiji especially felt that sensation of his brain being utterly intoxicated.
However, such trivial charm could not shake his spirit!
Don't underestimate this spirit of mine, forged through over a decade of near-death experiences and the torment of illness!
Kishinami: Rise and revel!
Eiji: Just so-so.
"Fine, then as you wish, I'll exert a bit more force!"
The blood of the True Ancestor surged, and his injuries quickly healed.
A ferocious smile spread across Eiji's face.
"Come forth—Mesarthim Adamas! Cor Tauri Succinum! Al Meissa Mercury!"
A colossal diamond ram, a bull-headed deity, and a twin-headed dragon-serpent materialized before him.
"Heh, at this point, what use is summoning these little bees?"
Kishinami's tone was utterly indifferent, dripping with condescension.
Indeed, to her, who had successfully metamorphosed and stood nearly a kilometer tall, a few familiars were no different from bees.
But this was not the end.
