Chapter 1312: The Greatest of All Time
Japan, Tokyo Bay.
This was Eiji's second time coming here. Unlike his previous visit aimed at destroying the Japanese government, this time he had come to annihilate America's superhuman forces.
"Wow, this is quite interesting!"
Eiji shielded his eyes with his hand, gazing into the distance through the darkness.
A massive aircraft carrier was flying through the sky.
Below it on the sea, numerous fleets in orderly formation were slowly advancing toward Tokyo.
"That aircraft carrier... is actually an Device?"
Eiji marveled in amazement.
To think there existed Devices of this type - Blazer abilities were truly fascinating!
He still didn't know what his true Blazer ability was even now.
"Regulus Aurum!"
The golden lion leaped out from the sky.
Golden lightning descended from the heavens, the millions of degrees of heat effortlessly blasting through the Device aircraft carrier. The moment it struck the sea, the lightning spread out in a grid pattern, annihilating all the ships below in the blink of an eye!
Eiji carefully sensed his surroundings.
The sea was full of familiar presences, and no one voiced any objections!
The superhuman forces along with America's fleets were completely destroyed by this calamitous display of power. They hadn't even managed to make landfall before their military operation was declared bankrupt.
"How boring! So boring!"
Eiji shook his head as he flew inland.
Might as well go see what's become of the mainland. If any stragglers managed to slip through and go on a killing spree, wouldn't that disgrace my title as Sword God?
"Beep beep beep!"
His student handbook chimed again.
Eiji's mouth twitched, feeling an unpleasant sensation as if covered in lice.
One after another, endlessly annoying!
"What is it now?"
"Sword God-sama, this is Kurogane Makoto. I just witnessed your actions via satellite."
The person appearing on the call surprised Eiji somewhat - that idiot was Kurogane Ikki's foolish father, also the head of the Alliance's Japanese branch.
"Spit it out!"
"...Touka is in danger."
"SON OF A BITCH! Who dares touch my senior sister!"
Kyushu, Fukuoka Prefecture.
Here stood an orphanage under the Kidokubara conglomerate. Because Kanata Totokubara had been too mischievous in her childhood, always running away, this place became where the friendship between the rich girl Kanata, Touka, and Utakata Misogi began.
"This is a trial."
A man resembling a priest held a book as if it were a bible, his face full of religious fervor.
Across from him, Touka lay amidst a sea of flames, her body covered in wounds from explosions. Despite this, she glared furiously at the man.
This man was an escapee from Ice Prison, one of the most vicious criminals from decades ago.
Because the Puppet King had manipulated political leaders worldwide, countries across the globe were experiencing varying degrees of chaos. Japan's Ice Prison had been caught up in this, allowing numerous vicious Blazer criminals to escape!
Ultimately, this was the bitter fruit born from the abolition of the death penalty.
This man kept preaching about selecting deities among humanity, continuously creating terrorist attacks, repeatedly calling them trials - his thought process was completely incomprehensible!
If any insider were here, they would likely guess that the so-called "divine selection" actually meant creating demonic beings.
This man had completely immersed himself in the power of a demonic being, and he was probably not far from losing his sanity.
If it were her from before, she might have been trembling with fear by now.
But she had recently participated in an incredibly awesome Seven Star Sword Art Festival.
She thought.
This guy's pressure isn't that impressive.
Not as strong as my junior brother.
That said, she alone truly couldn't handle an opponent of this level, especially with the orphanage right next door and so many children inside!
If this guy went berserk, it would definitely cause massive damage to the surroundings!
"Go to hell! I'll give you a trial too!"
A large foot materialized from the void and kicked out.
The kick landed squarely on the man's face, sending him flying backward.
"Who's there?"
The man scrambled up from the ground, his face covered in footprints looking utterly ridiculous.
"How dare you interfere with the sacred divine selection ceremony?"
"Junior brother!"
Touka looked with delight at Eiji, who had stepped out from the void.
"Then you don't need to select anyone—I am the god!"
Eiji sneered, pointing at the man.
"The god says, you deserve to die!"
Just as the man was about to retort, he suddenly felt mentally disoriented.
He saw a dazzling spiritual dominance radiating from Eiji, and in his dazed state, he reflexively slashed his own neck with his blade.
The body and head thudded to the ground one after another.
"So, so amazing!"
Touka's mouth hung wide open, large enough to fit a banana.
"Senior sister, are you okay?"
Eiji landed on the ground.
Seeing the injuries on Touka, his face darkened, and he quickly used the power of the Water Spirit's White Steel to heal her wounds.
"Such incredible healing magic... Junior brother, it's so good that you came back in time!"
Touka patted her bottom and stood up, acting as if nothing had happened.
"Don't worry, leave everything from now on to me!"
Eiji understood just how severe the aftermath caused by the Puppet King was.
He didn't want his native world to sink into the quagmire of war, as it would pose significant dangers to his senior sister, the wealthy lady, Sara, and the others.
"Then let's settle it all in one battle!"
Eiji decisively activated his Clairvoyance.
In another world, he had already become a UO. With the EX-rank Clairvoyance granted by the Holy Annihilation Holy Sword, he could see through all the past, present, and future on this Earth!
Eiji swung his blade.
...
The state of the entire world seemed to have been put on pause.
At that moment, terrorists causing chaos around the globe, U.S. military forces, vicious criminals... and others, all died simultaneously.
It was as if, nearing the end of the year, hell had started checking its performance metrics. The reapers, who usually slacked off to their heart's content, went on a frenzied harvest of lives on Earth, taking away a large number of troublemakers who wished for nothing but chaos.
However, it wasn't the reapers who accomplished this.
It was the Sword God.
Thanks to the Alliance's vigorous promotion, the Sword God had been elevated to the position of the greatest figure in history, and his bizarre sword techniques that could instantly reach any corner of the globe became widely known.
Conspirators quickly vanished, and the world's situation began to improve.
Sword Peak.
In the valley cottage eight thousand meters high.
"Ah, it's still so peaceful here!"
Eiji lay on Edelweiss's lap, his face the picture of contentment.
These past few days, the Alliance, the Coalition, political leaders from various nations, and Blazer masters had been making their presence felt in his ears daily—some came to pay their respects, others to ask for favors, and a small portion even came to challenge him.
Utterly fed up, Eiji simply left his senior sister's home and took refuge at the Kidokoro Consortium.
Who would have thought that after just two days of cozying up with the wealthy Kanata, his location was exposed again.
So he had no choice but to flee to little Edelweiss's place.
Here, it was truly peaceful. Very few in the world could reach this place, and even fewer dared to cause trouble here!
"Once this hype dies down, it'll be fine."
Edelweiss gently stroked his bangs.
"But since you're free, could you teach me the Sword of Providence?"
"Sure!"
Eiji sprang up like a carp leaping from water, then reached out to pat Edelweiss's head.
"By the way, everything under heaven can be a sword. I can practice my swordsmanship anywhere, but practicing in bed yields the best results!"
Edelweiss froze for a moment.
Does this person have anything in his head besides lewd thoughts?
How did he even reach his current level of mastery?
Through sheer dedication to perversion?
"Then... whatever you say..."
