Tokisaki Kurumi, Marushiru, Saeko Busujima, Frieren, and Rias stayed behind.
The others continued to follow Rosen to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.
The area in front of the government building was deserted.
Gabriel mumbled softly, clutching her small hands: "My fists are already itching for a fight."
Tendou Mokore looked at the building with a strange expression and muttered to herself: "Wait, something's off."
"What is it?"
Rosen asked.
"There are too few people here. Although there aren't many people in front of the government building usually, at least there are government officials or private security company personnel entering and exiting the main gate every day. But now there's no one."
Tendou Mokore explained, scanning the government building.
"I remember that man said he was going to call the police. Did he inform the government in advance?"
Fubuki asked, stroking her chin.
At her mention, Tendou Mokore also recalled Satomi Rentaro's identity.
Although he was her classmate and former friend, he was also a member of the Tendō Family, and a Disciple of Tendou Kikunojou, the head of the Tendō Family and the actual power holder of New Tokyo City.
In the past, Tendou Kikunojou had deliberately trained him as his successor.
As things stood now.
Satomi Rentaro must have informed Tendou Kikunojou in advance.
And Tendou Mokore suddenly thought of a terrifying fact.
That is, could Satomi Rentaro have been sent by Tendou Kikunojou to monitor her?
Tendou Mokore instantly felt a chill run through her body.
After all, if her guess was correct, then her every move over the past few years had been under Tendou Kikunojou's surveillance.
In that case, according to the original trajectory, how could she have possibly overthrown the behemoth that was the Tendō Family?
Although the original plot wasn't like this, Rosen and the others had reminded her that while the plot was mostly the same as the future, there would still be subtle differences.
"Satomi Rentaro leaked our existence, so Tendou Kikunojou must have already prepared for us to go in."
Tendou Mokore said in a low voice.
As her voice fell, Rosen and the others had already walked far away.
"Eh? Wait for me, there must already be an inescapable net laid inside, just waiting for us to take the bait."
"And then?"
Upon hearing this, Makima tilted her head and asked.
"Do you think the military strength of those ordinary people can contend with our power?"
"..."
Tendou Mokore was stunned.
She hadn't been able to switch from the perspective of an ordinary person.
And these group members in front of her were all powerful beings from other worlds, and the young man leading them was the so-called "Only God."
A battle between humans and gods.
There was no need to even think about who would win.
Rosen released his perception and had already located the high-ranking government officials, and also discovered many fully armed Self-Defense Force soldiers nearby.
Snipers were also hidden in nearby buildings; he didn't see any heavy equipment, most likely thinking that dozens of special forces could take them down.
In addition, Rosen also saw a silver-haired girl in a safe house within the government building, whose art style was strikingly out of place with her surroundings.
And in the rooms outside the safe house, Tendou Kikunojou was sitting in the main chair of the conference room, resting with his eyes closed.
He had the aura of a final boss, but unfortunately, his opponents were a group of Fourth Catastrophe members who didn't play fair.
Without further thought, Rosen teleported with everyone to Tendou Kikunojou's location.
Meanwhile, the Saint Tianzi in the safe house was nervously watching the images displayed on the large screen.
Tendou Kikunojou sat calmly, as if he had no worries.
Dozens of armed-to-the-teeth soldiers had already reached all designated locations, and with just one command, they could immediately apprehend any appearing targets.
Saint Tianzi looked worried.
Originally, she was discussing the revision plan for the "Gastrozoa New Bill" with several high-ranking government officials, aiming to grant citizenship rights to the Cursed Children.
However, most officials held opposing views.
When she asked Tendou Kikunojou, he always gave her grandiloquent platitudes.
It seemed this matter would once again come to nothing. However, just as the meeting was about to end, Tendou Kikunojou received a phone call.
Soon after, he informed her that spies would be coming to subvert the New Tokyo government... Although Saint Tianzi was a bit bewildered, Tendou Kikunojou's decisions had almost never been wrong over the years, so she issued orders to gather all the guards.
Not long after.
A slender black-haired boy met with Tendou Kikunojou.
Saint Tianzi didn't recognize him, but he seemed quite familiar with Tendou Kikunojou.
She then learned about the assassin's origin through surveillance.
But after listening, Saint Tianzi felt that tales of ghosts and gods were naturally groundless.
However, in the next second.
Several unfamiliar figures suddenly appeared in the conference room.
Tendou Kikunojou, who was sitting upright, opened his eyes when he noticed the movement.
When he saw the people who had appeared in the conference room, his composed expression completely broke.
How did these guys get in?
Could they really use some kind of sorcery?
Of course, compared to the sorcerers Satomi Rentaro spoke of, Tendou Kikunojou was more willing to believe that these people might have mastered some kind of superpower awakened by the Gastrozoa virus.
"You're Tendou Kikunojou, right?"
Gabriel, who had already received Rosen's instructions, immediately walked over with a roguish expression, cracking her knuckles, upon seeing Tendou Kikunojou.
"Yo?! You hypocrite, you really did come to tip them off. Perfect, I'll just beat you all up together!"
"Don't come any closer!"
Satomi Rentaro quickly reacted, pulling out the handgun from his waist and aiming it at Gabriel.
Then, Self-Defense Force soldiers hidden in other places also rushed in from other rooms, pulling out their guns and aiming at Rosen and the others.
The number of people and the presence of guns made Tendou Kikunojou feel slightly at ease.
"You guys..."
However, before he could finish speaking, his old face took a solid punch.
He immediately flew out of the chair, knocking over a flowerpot in the corner.
"You bastard!"
Seeing his revered Master being brutally beaten, Satomi Rentaro angrily pulled the trigger, but the bullets were deflected when they hit Gabriel's front.
"How is that possible?!"
He opened his mouth, and as his words fell, he took a fierce side kick to the stomach, causing him to spin thirty-six degrees in the air and fly backward.
