Episode 76: Your Taste is really like Rotten Meat~
『 "My previous feeling was right, little Kaneki Ken, you are indeed the most perfect sacrifice for me!"
"Hehehe! When we first met, why didn't I realize you could pique my interest so much~"
As he said this, Jason suddenly grabbed his finger.
With a slight force, he snapped his own finger.
"So, now I will begin to take everything from you! Indeed, you are my perfect existence!"
Just then, as Jason's words fell, a massive kagune suddenly unfurled from his back, entering a combat state.
With a "crack," two dark purple kagune lunged towards the chair Kaneki Ken was sitting on.
This attack was meant to pierce through the trapped Kaneki Ken directly.
In a moment of crisis,
The unexpected happened.
Just as Jason's attack was about to connect, Kaneki Ken suddenly broke free from his restraints and leaped from the chair.
"Bang!" The sound that followed immediately announced that the chair had been reduced to ashes by Jason's attack.
As the smoke and dust cleared, Kaneki Ken, having escaped this disaster, charged out at high speed with a head of white hair.
This action was like a fierce demon from a game.
In a flash of lightning, he leaped onto Jason with astonishing speed.
His hands were tightly gripping Jason's neck.
Then, he asked in a cold tone, "You just now, were you trying to take my power?"
"If you really have that thought, why don't you try?" 』

『 "!!???" When Jason felt the immense power gripping him tightly, he immediately understood completely, knowing that he had kicked a steel plate.
He was so frightened that his eyes were wide, and he struggled desperately to break free from the restraint on his neck. This struggle caused the collar in Kaneki Ken's hand to snap into two pieces with a "crack."
At this moment, Kaneki Ken had completely inherited everything from Kamishiro Rize, so he decided to retreat from Jason's neck.
He moved as nimbly as a kitten, lightly jumping to face Jason, his eyes sharp, making Jason feel uneasy.
In the blink of an eye, the arrogant Jason from before now only had a panic on his face.
He was gasping for air, and various unpleasant emotions such as fear and helplessness flooded his heart.
His eyes clearly showed two words: 'fear'.
"You, what are you?!" Jason's voice was full of trembling and fear, he was almost out of breath when asking the question.
At this moment, Jason felt like he couldn't fight Kaneki Ken at all.
Why? Because the aura Kaneki Ken exuded made him tremble from the bottom of his heart.
When Kaneki Ken heard Jason's question, he just smiled lightly and didn't say much.
He reached out and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and casually said:
"Your taste is really bad, heheheehe." 』

『 In the other part of the screen.
"You!! You dare to eat me?"
A surge of anger suddenly rose in Jason's heart.
Although he was terrified now, the other party's arrogant attitude also made Jason grit his teeth.
"You annoying guy."
"Haha, that taste, it's like rotten fish guts, truly nauseating." Kaneki Ken was still mocking Jason.
Before he finished speaking, a purple light shot over with a whoosh.
This blow was so powerful that it directly shattered the wall behind Kaneki Ken.
And Kaneki Ken?
He was very clever. Before the opponent's attack reached him, he leaped lightly, using the impact force, and jumped in front of Jason.
He fiercely kicked Jason in the face.
But Jason seemed to have been prepared.
Just as Kaneki Ken's foot was about to kick his face, Jason reached out and tightly grabbed Kaneki Ken's ankle.
With this grab, Jason felt as if he had grasped the dawn of victory.
He grinned widely. ...
"Hahaha, this time, I won't let go easily, Kaneki-kun?!~!"
Before he could be proud for two seconds, a strange sound entered everyone's ears.
"Crack, crack..."
Next, everyone witnessed a thrilling scene.
Kaneki Ken's ankle, which was grabbed by Jason, twisted with force, as if it had turned in a circle, and was forcefully torn off.
At the same time, Kaneki Ken took this opportunity to successfully break free from Jason's control. ..
The little angel Kaneki, after turning almost a full 390-degree circle, without a word, pulled out his other leg with a whoosh.
Immediately after, a loud "bang!" echoed in everyone's ears, making them flinch.
On the screen, Kaneki Ken's big foot landed squarely on Jason's big face.
Then, Jason was like a rocket, whooshing away under a huge force, flying straight out.
Bang! With a loud crash, Jason hit the wall not far away heavily, like a flattened mosquito.
With this collision, Jason's throat let out continuous muffled groans of "cough cough...", as if he was coughing up his lungs.
Along with the coughing sound, a thick cloud of dust rose around, and the atmosphere was tense and oppressive.
The power of this kick was fully displayed on Jason. ...
At this moment, after coughing, Jason's body, nose, and mouth were all gushing with blood, a scene that was terrifying to behold.
When the dust finally settled slowly, everyone was able to see that Jason's appearance at this time was simply gruesome.
However, the ferocious appearance from before, against the backdrop of these wounds, seemed even more terrifying.
Scars, one after another, were clearly visible on this broken face, showing blood.
The blood flowing from these wounds,
As if unstoppable, it kept dripping.
Although this scene was extraordinarily horrifying, the bloodstains couldn't help but cause worry,
But now, he couldn't utter a single word.
No, that's not quite accurate.
At this moment, due to being shocked by Kaneki Ken's change, he was already too surprised to speak.
Simply put, he could only use a complicated gaze,
Just staring fixedly at Kaneki Ken opposite him.
Just watching Kaneki Ken's ankle, which was severely twisted by the previous immense impact,
At this moment, it was recovering at an astonishing speed,
Rapidly returning to its original state...
At this moment, he stared at Kaneki Ken with an extremely complicated gaze.
He witnessed Kaneki Ken's ankle twisting under immense power and then recovering at an unbelievable speed,
Seeing that Kaneki Ken could easily break his own foot and kick him away under his control,
In his heart, there was only shock, and more shock.
He never expected that Kaneki Ken's power had become so strong!
"You, what's going on?"
"Why do you show such a surprised expression?"
At this moment, Kaneki Ken seemed to have seen through Jason's thoughts, his face as cold as a living grim reaper.
At the same time, his cold voice sounded again,
"Do you still think this level of pain can make me shrink back?"
"Kaneki...!" Jason, who was severely injured nearby, glared at Kaneki Ken fiercely,
In those eyes, a chilling killing intent flickered.
Suddenly! ...
A crisp "crack" echoed in everyone's ears.
Just then, everyone finally saw the truth.
It turned out to be Jason, who had once again cruelly broken his own finger.
Immediately after, the layer of kagune on his body, like iron armor, quickly wrapped around his upper body and his remaining right arm.
"Haha, a half-kakuja?..."
"I'm going to kill you..... kill you!"
"I must kill you!!!!"
Jason, who had turned into a half-kakuja, roared at Kaneki with a ferocious face.
Accompanied by a "rumble!!"
Amidst the roar, ...
The entire surrounding house trembled violently again,
As if it were about to completely collapse into ruins.
At this critical moment,
Kaneki Ken confronted Jason and suddenly leaped up.
He directly charged towards Jason, who was wrapped in kagune, and the two engaged in a fierce one-on-one battle.
Before everyone's eyes, the figures of Jason and Kaneki Ken constantly intertwined and clashed violently.
As the battle progressed, the cracks around them began to spread from the center of the confrontation.
"Crack, crack!!"
A more intense cracking sound followed.
Kaneki Ken's already broken kneecap finally couldn't bear the immense pressure and began to shatter bit by bit.
Blood suddenly gushed out.
Intense pain, accompanied by clearly audible sounds, in an instant,
Blew the kneecap into bloody flesh.
But even so,
Kaneki Ken's face remained calm.
Jason noticed that Kaneki Ken's fragile kneecap had been destroyed, and his eyes burst out with a fiercer light.
Immediately, he didn't hesitate or show any mercy, and punched Kaneki Ken in the chest fiercely.
This punch seemed to have gathered immense energy.
Boom!!!
With this immense force, the fist heavily hit Kaneki Ken's chest.
"Pfft!!"
Having suffered such a heavy blow, Kaneki Ken's face instantly turned pale.
Even though his face was extremely pale,
Kaneki Ken's expression remained unchanged...
No, not just his expression, he didn't even frown.
If his face hadn't been pale, this punch would have seemed as if it hadn't hit his body at all. 』

[ Yuri Nakamura (Angel Beats): "He actually went through a battle like this." ]
[ Kiana (Honkai: Impact Third): "It looks painful." ]
[ Gintoki Sakata (Gintama): "It's okay, with this kind of injury on me, I won't say a word." ]
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "Then you're also very powerful?" ]
[ Kagura (Gintama): "That's not it, because he'll be out of breath in an instant, so he won't say a word." ]
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "Huh?" ]
[ .....]
『 "Haha, don't underestimate me!" Before the words fell, the weapon in Jason's hand easily swallowed the dismembered Kaneki Ken.
Immediately after,
He flicked his wrist lightly, and the restrained white-haired young man was fiercely thrown against the opposite wall by Jason.
In an instant!....
A piercing sound exploded.
The moment Kaneki Ken hit the wall, his body suddenly embedded itself in the wall.
"Bang!!..."
After the loud crash, the scene shifted,
Everyone witnessed this scene:
Kaneki Ken's smooth forehead hit the indestructible wall without any obstruction, and the solid wall was also affected by this violent impact.
Leaving a deep pit.
The surrounding environment changed dramatically, and a thick smoke instantly rose.
Dust flew, and rubble scattered.
A faint mist of blood gradually spread silently in this small, suffocating room.
Perhaps it was because of this scene.... 』
『 .....』
~Tokyo Ghoul World~
At this time, Kaneki Ken, who was in the Anteiku cafe,
Before he had encountered the future events, after witnessing this scene,
For a moment, he stood frozen in place, not moving.
Not only the miserable state of the past, but even himself in the future, having gained a new power, was still beaten so miserably by that Jason.
A "gulp" sound came from his throat,
Kaneki Ken couldn't help but swallow.
Compared to Kaneki Ken, who saw the future misery,
On the other side, Yoshimura Kuzen, the manager of the Anteiku cafe, showed more solemnity in his eyes.
Because, as an SSS-rated ghoul, he could easily see a problem:
Kaneki Ken on the screen was already in a somewhat abnormal state.
Not long ago, his kneecap was completely destroyed,
His ankle was twisted more than 360 degrees,
Numerous parts of his body were battered by the ghoul named Jason.
But from his face, it seemed as if nothing had happened,
His face, or rather his expression, had not changed from beginning to end,
As if he were completely oblivious to the pain in his body.
This scene was truly too bizarre, and unbelievable.
.....
『 "Hoo." After dealing with Kaneki Ken, Jason also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But in his eyes, there was no trace of relaxation.
Because not long ago, it was this mentality that made him lose the battle.
He thought this kid Kaneki Ken was just a little lamb to be slaughtered, who knew he could counterattack like this?
The movements he showed at that moment were strangely weird.
Not only did he directly dodge his kagune attack, but he also counterattacked and gave him such injuries.
Moreover, after launching such an attack, the opponent's body was still nimble, and he finally gave him a fatal blow.
"Hahaha, in this situation, the sudden burst of strength should be over, right?"
"After all, hitting your head against the wall like that, you must be finished, right?"
The room gradually became quiet, and Jason's self-talk slowly dissipated.
But just then,
His pupils suddenly contracted.
What followed was a strong sense of fear.
"Wait?"
Because at this moment, a terrifying scene appeared in his eyes.
Then,
At the other end of the room,
A sound entered everyone's ears.
"Bang!" After a muffled sound, Kaneki Ken's figure slowly walked out from behind the bloody, dusty wall.
On his body,
Streams of bright red liquid, from the body of that silver-haired young man,
Slowly dripped.
These dark red liquids dripped onto the ground, making a "drip-drip" sound.
Those large drops of blood, in the dim and gloomy little dark room,
Emanated an abnormal, eerie glow.
This scene made the viewers watching the live broadcast feel a chill down their spine.
However, for some weirdos in certain worlds,
This scene on the screen seemed to be a pleasant seasoning for their bodies and minds~.
And that white-haired young man who returned from the smoke,
He was locking onto the seemingly slightly panicked Jason in front of him with his ice-cold eyes.
In those eyes, a strong, bloodthirsty light gradually flickered, and a cold killing intent slowly permeated around him.
What followed was an inexplicable wind, gently blowing his blood-stained short shirt.
In an instant, several extremely sharp kagune, which should have belonged to Kamishiro Rize, suddenly burst out from Kaneki Ken's body.
"Haha!"
"Ah!!!"
Kaneki Ken seemed to gradually feel the power surging within him.
A smile of joy inadvertently appeared on his pale face. 』
