With a single slash—
Yuuto Kagami cleaved the colossal Demon Serpent, over a hundred meters long, clean in two.
Not only that, but the force of the blow even split the entire sea surface apart!
"A single Rinnegan, with repulsion, attraction, spatial teleportation… and even that divine Susanoo?"
"And don't forget the Frozen-Frozen Fruit from earlier. Even if what Yuuto Kagami said about altering an island's climate isn't fully accurate, freezing an entire lake was shocking enough!"
Inside the conference room, everyone was utterly dumbfounded.
Everything they once believed to be true about the world now felt like it was collapsing around them.
"With such power... if he were ever to turn against us, we'd have no way to stop him!"
At those words, the room fell into an eerie silence.
A long pause followed before someone finally muttered:
"Luckily… he doesn't seem to be hostile toward us."
Meanwhile, elsewhere—
Yuuto Kagami slowly sheathed the Totsuka Blade, and with a mere thought, his towering Susanoo dispersed like mist.
His body descended gently and landed steadily on the ground.
"Alright, everyone—"
"That concludes today's demonstration of the Rinnegan and Susanoo."
Facing the livestream, Yuuto Kagami spoke with a smile.
But the audience clearly wasn't ready to let things end:
[Chat Comments:]
Huh?! That's it? Already?!
Nooo! I'm not done watching yet!
Yuuto, can you redo the whole thing? I think I missed a good look at Susanoo!
Please, just one more move! I need to see Heavenly Hand Power again—it was too damn cool!
Yuuto Kagami chuckled and shook his head.
"As much as I'd love to keep going, we have something even more important to do now."
More important than the Rinnegan? What could that possibly be?
Wait! Didn't Yuuto say earlier that the Demon Serpent was also a treasure?
Yeah yeah! Is the more important thing… explaining the Demon Serpent's ability?
Ah, now that you mention it…
But wait—it's already dead, right? Doesn't that make it useless now?
"Don't worry, everyone."
"The Demon Serpent's value as a treasure doesn't depend on whether it's alive."
"So next, I'm going to give you a little breakdown of this creature's power."
Yuuto Kagami walked toward the massive carcass of the Demon Serpent.
Its gigantic body, cleaved in two, was still gushing blood.
Then—
"Hoo—"
Under everyone's expectant gaze, Yuuto Kagami raised his hand.
A gust of freezing mist burst forth!
It surged like a blizzard, instantly enveloping the serpent's remains.
Holy crap! The Frozen-Frozen Fruit's power again!
Damn! So that's what it looks like in action—kinda badass!
No wonder it's one of the strongest Logia Fruits—cool factor and strength all in one!
Whoa! It froze an area over 100 meters wide in just seconds?!
Of course! Didn't Yuuto say if awakened, the Frozen-Frozen Fruit could permanently alter the climate of an entire island? That's permanent climate control!
Insane power!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
As viewers chatted in awe, the entire Demon Serpent became encased in ice, even its blood frozen solid.
Many were puzzled by Yuuto Kagami's move, but a few quick-witted ones started catching on:
Wait… why freeze the Demon Serpent?
I don't get it. Yuuto's such a mysterious man. His actions are always unpredictable.
Freeze it? Hmm… I think I might have a theory.
The Demon Serpent comes from the Toriko world, right? And in that world, monsters are… ingredients… wait a minute!
YES! That's it! This serpent's body is the treasure!
Yuuto Kagami smiled.
"Looks like some of you already figured it out."
He turned to the camera and revealed the answer.
"Everyone—"
"Like I mentioned before, in the world of Toriko, all powerful beasts are classified as ingredients."
"As such, their flesh and blood contain immense energy."
"Just a single piece of meat from such a creature can enhance a person's body and increase their strength!"
[Chat Comments:]
???
Hold up—what did you just say?!
The Demon Serpent's flesh can enhance your body?! Boost strength?!
Yuuto, are you for real right now?!
My god… so that's the Demon Serpent's ability? Eat it and get stronger?!
I'm so jealous! If I could just get a bite… just one bite!
The moment this truth came to light, the chat exploded with envy and desire.
Viewers stared longingly at the frozen serpent, each of them dreaming of tasting a piece.
Then Yuuto Kagami dropped another bomb:
"So…"
"I've decided to give you all a little treat."
"And the prize… is the Demon Serpent's flesh!"
WHAT?!
Did he just say he's giving away the Demon Serpent's flesh?!
No way! Yuuto, pick me! I want it!
Bro, who doesn't want it?! But how is he gonna give it away? He's not gonna hand the whole serpent to one person, right?
C'mon, be realistic. Even a single piece would be amazing!
Wait a sec… what about Yuuto himself? Isn't it useful for him too?
Exactly! If it makes you stronger, why's Yuuto giving it away?
Yuuto Kagami answered with a calm smile:
"While the Demon Serpent's flesh does enhance the body, that's only true up to a point."
"For someone like me—whose physical condition is already too powerful—its effects are negligible."
And just like that, everything made sense.
Ah! Got it!
So basically… Yuuto is too strong for this to work on him anymore?!
No no, let me rephrase that—this Demon Serpent's meat… isn't worthy of Yuuto's body!
Bro, the way you suck up is an art form. If this were ancient times, you'd be the emperor's top eunuch!
Dang, if this meat is too weak, I really wanna know how strong Yuuto's body is…
Yuuto, I'll gladly eat the serpent in your place! I'll enjoy every bite on your behalf!
Yeah, yeah, dream on bro. When did Yuuto say you were getting any?
At the same time, inside the Supernatural Security Bureau, a similar wave of commotion was spreading.
"If only we could get some of that Demon Serpent meat…"
"A biological specimen with that kind of energy would be a gold mine for research! But unfortunately, it's not ours."
"It's tough… after all, it was Yuuto Kagami who killed it. What right do we have to claim it?"
