Chapter 169 - Chapter 169: Is Tiger a High School Student? Shock Among the Crowd

Inside the chat group, everyone was watching Brunhilde's livestream.

The group members buzzed with discussion.

Brunhilde turned to Karl and Akira, asking:

『Brunhilde』: Mr. Karl, Mr. Kadoya. If it's convenient, could you introduce yourselves, your origins, information, perhaps even your powers? Of course, if you prefer not to mention your abilities, that's fine.

『Brunhilde』: But at least some information would be useful, since introductions are important when appearing.

『Karl』: Oh. Well, my powers include things like snuffing out stars, traveling through time, absorbing magic… Introductions don't really matter much, I guess.

Brunhilde blinked, dazed.

『Brunhilde』: O-oh…

She had assumed she already understood Karl's abilities through the chat group.

But now she realized,

His strength was far greater than she'd imagined.

Snuffing out stars? What in the world…

In their world, humans certainly understood what a "star" was.

But to blow one out,

???

What she didn't know was that Karl was still holding back.

For instance, he hadn't mentioned things like sneezing away an entire solar system, or manipulating time and space itself.

Beside her, Gray was also stunned.

Though she didn't know much about human science, she at least understood the concept of traveling through time.

And yet this handsome man before her could actually accomplish such things?

Meanwhile, Akira and all the group members watching the livestream were equally floored.

The chat exploded.

『Shirley』: ...

『Hot-blooded Spider』: ???

『Hot-blooded Spider』: Did I hear that right?

『Hot-blooded Spider』: Snuff out a star?

『Hot-blooded Spider』: Hey, I went to school, you know…

『Heavenly Blade King』: That's… seriously impressive.

『Great Wall Commander』: Wait, what exactly is a star??

『Princess of the Senju』: I don't know either.

『Pink-haired Vessel』: A star is… basically a planet, right?

『Pink-haired Vessel』: Though I can't explain it well.

『Pink-haired Vessel』: Just think of the sun and the moon as stars.

『Great Wall Commander』: The sun and moon?

『Great Wall Commander』: If he can blow those out…

『Great Wall Commander』: Mr. Karl is way stronger than I thought!

『Princess of the Senju』: As expected of Karl-kun, so amazing!

『Shirley』: ...

『Shirley』: Itadori Yuuji, aren't you a high school student? @Pink-haired Vessel

『Shirley』: Stars are spheres of luminous plasma.

『Shirley』: For example, the sun is a star. The moon is not.

『Pink-haired Vessel』: Huh? Really?

『Pink-haired Vessel』: I see… hahaha…

Everyone had known Karl was strong, unbelievably strong.

The group missions were always completed with ease, never any pressure.

But none of them knew just how powerful he really was.

For one, they'd never seen it firsthand.

For another, Karl had never spoken of it.

Now, hearing him mention it for the first time, the members were naturally shaken.

Snuffing out a star, what kind of power was that?

Those who understood the concept of a star were left speechless.

Especially someone like Shirley, a scientist.

She knew more than most about stars.

Take the nearest star, the sun, for example:

Its mass was beyond imagination.

Its surface temperature, over 5,000 degrees Celsius.

Its core temperature, tens of millions of degrees!

And there were countless stars far larger than the sun.

And this man claimed he could blow one out?

????

Shirley's mind was filled with question marks.

As a scientist, she thought:

This was something most people wouldn't even dare to dream of.

They had believed Karl was already strong enough.

But it turned out, he was far stronger than any of them had dared imagine.

In the world of the Rebellious Lelouch,

Lelouch stared at the chat group, disbelief on his face.

『Lelouch』: Snuffing out a star… does such an existence really exist?

He even wondered if Karl was boasting.

But then he remembered Karl's ability to travel through time.

In that case, perhaps extinguishing a star was possible too?

『Lelouch』: Astonishing… If my ability could work on someone like that, I could topple the Empire in an instant.

『Lelouch』: But… can my power really control such an existence?

He sank into deep thought.

He had joined the livestream partly out of curiosity, partly to find a way to control the group members to realize his dream of destroying the Empire.

But now, after learning of Karl's powers, hesitation began to gnaw at him.

While everyone was still reeling from Karl's revelation, the arena suddenly dimmed.

A beam of light fell upon the center of the stage.

There stood a lone figure,

The Guardian of the Apocalypse, Heimdall.

He spoke with fervent excitement:

『Heimdall』: How long have I waited for this moment? At last, the horn of Gjallar has sounded! The gods' final battle against humanity, the Ragnarok, begins now! Are you ready?

The arena erupted in cheers.

Heimdall briefly explained the rules.

In essence, when one side fell, it was deemed defeat.

『Heimdall』: In the first round, leading the charge for the gods is… this man!

Crack!

Lightning split the sky.

Upon the stage appeared a great throne.

Upon that throne sat a figure, long crimson hair, a colossal hammer gripped in his hand, his body wrapped in lightning.

『Heimdall』: The strongest of the Norse gods, Thor!

Cheers exploded across the arena.

Most of the gods erupted in celebration, for the name of Thor was well-known and feared.

『Gray』: T-that's… Lord Thor… We truly stand no chance…

She turned to Karl, remembering his earlier introduction, and whispered:

『Gray』: Elder sister… what if Mr. Karl takes the first round? Thor's reputation is overwhelming…

But Brunhilde shook her head.

『Brunhilde』: No need. I am already prepared.

『Brunhilde』: The one who will enter the battlefield now is the strongest, no, the fiercest and most savage warrior.

『Brunhilde』: Though not on Karl's level, against Thor, he will surely prevail.

『Brunhilde』: And besides, the roster for the first battle is already set. It cannot be changed now.

Heimdall's voice rang out once again:

『Heimdall』: Next, the challenger representing humanity! The vanguard of foolish mankind is… this man!

Boom!

Boom boom boom!

The war drums thundered. Cymbals clashed.

A rider on a magnificent steed galloped forth.

『Heimdall』: Yes! This man bears the will of humanity. Who else could?

『Heimdall』: In human history, he surely ranks among the strongest.

『Heimdall』: The mightiest hero of the East, Lü Bu Fengxian!

With Heimdall's announcement, Red Hare leapt high, racing across the arena.
