Tatsuya opened his eyes, startled to find his face buried deep in the cleavage of his mother, Maya Yotsuba.
Maya was fast asleep with a serene expression, her breathing steady, emitting a heady and intoxicating fragrance.
Gulp...
Tatsuya swallowed hard, slowly pulling himself away from Maya's bosom.
Thanks to Tatsuya's extreme caution, Maya did not wake up and continued to sleep soundly. Looking at the breathtakingly beautiful woman before him, Tatsuya felt a wave of complicated emotions.
'Mother is becoming bolder by the day. Will we eventually cross the line in the future? Just thinking about it sends shivers down my spine.'
Tatsuya appreciated beautiful women, but that didn't mean he harbored feelings for his own mother. Being a man of serious character, the idea of violating social norms was difficult for him to accept.
Even so, Tatsuya had his limits.
He didn't know how much longer he could endure, but one thing was for sure: he wouldn't simply succumb to the temptation of forbidden lust.
Clearing the messy thoughts from his head, Tatsuya left the Yotsuba residence. His destination was the temple where his martial arts master resided.
"Oya oya, what brings you here today? I'm fairly certain it's not time for our regular training."
"Forgive me, Sensei. I need help clearing my mind."
Tatsuya's expression was stern, as if a very serious problem was weighing heavily on his heart. Kokonoe Yakumo grinned, nodding with a mock-serious face.
"It seems you are indeed in a bit of a predicament. Very well, let us have a short sparring session."
"Thank you, Sensei!"
(Ding! Tatsuya Yotsuba has updated his profile picture!)
The members of the Destiny Chat Group immediately caught sight of Tatsuya's photo, falling silent as they beheld his handsome features shrouded in a mysterious aura.
Makoto: Ah, if this were a story, he'd definitely be the protagonist.
Sword Princess: Handsome, and he looks reliable.
Time Eater: Ara~ ara~ who would have thought you were this handsome?
White: With those looks, building a harem wouldn't be difficult for you.
Tatsuya Yotsuba: Thank you for the compliments. Now, please watch my livestream.
(Ding! Tatsuya Yotsuba has started a livestream!)
(Makoto, Time Eater, Sword Princess, and White have entered the livestream room.)
The battle between Tatsuya and Kokonoe Yakumo unfolded on the Destiny Chat Group's screen.
Sword Princess: What breathtaking hand-to-hand combat techniques.
Makoto: These movements... a shinobi?
Time Eater: I don't know much about human martial arts, but I'm certain their abilities are far above average.
White: It's not just "above average"—their prowess is on par with monsters. Even without seeing it in person, I'm sure each of their strikes is at least twenty times stronger than the full power of an ordinary human.
Time Eater: Twenty times stronger? They're still human, right?
White: With my demon eyes, both are clearly pure humans. However, the power within their bodies looks unique—especially Tatsuya's.
Sword Princess: Unique?
White: It feels like a forbidden power that could destroy the world if unleashed.
Sword Princess: ...
Time Eater: ...
Makoto: ...
The chat fell silent for a moment as everyone was shocked by Testarossa's explanation.
Makoto: You're joking, right?
White: Do I look like a demon who enjoys joking?
Makoto: ...
White: If you don't believe me, just ask Tatsuya yourself.
Everyone swallowed nervously.
Even Testarossa couldn't stop a cold sweat from forming on her forehead, trickling down her cheek and dripping onto her desk.
"Testarossa? Is something wrong?" Ultima asked.
"I'm fine. I'm just shocked to discover the existence of something truly terrifying out there," Testarossa replied.
"Do you mean a True Dragon?" Carrera asked curiously.
"No. What I mean is an existence from outside this world that could even erase a True Dragon from existence," Testarossa explained with a grave tone.
An interested look appeared on Carrera's beautiful face.
"Are you talking about that chat group that suddenly pulled you in?"
Testarossa nodded softly.
"Come here and see for yourselves. What do you think of this man?"
Testarossa showed them the scene of the fierce battle between Tatsuya and Kokonoe Yakumo.
"Hoo, they are quite interesting humans," Carrera remarked, a curious smile playing on her lips.
Testarossa rolled her eyes, scolding her with an irritated tone.
"Don't just look at the surface, look at what's inside! As a fellow Primordial, surely you can do at least that."
Carrera sharpened her gaze. Her eyes widened in shock as she sensed the world-ending destructive power coiled within Tatsuya Yotsuba's body.
"This man... is he really human?!"
"He is undoubtedly human, but he possesses a strange power that can even destroy spiritual entities like us. If this man were to use that power against us, the title of 'Primordial' might just change hands."
Ultima spoke calmly, though her gaze was intensely serious.
