Chapter 486. The Conclusion of Healer Ayanokouji (Part 3)
「Although she could not grant Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's whimsical and nonsensical wishes, the Spirit still bestowed upon him everything she could give.」
「For instance, a pair of Spirit Eyes, capable of converting the abilities of everything he saw into data presented before his eyes, much like a game interface. There were many other miscellaneous enhancements that bolstered Ayanokouji's mana and physical strength, along with various riches and Divine Artifacts.」
They charged.
The soldiers who had been hunting the survivors of Keyaru's village now had eyes gleaming with greed. Salivating, they forced their steeds to pivot, galloping toward the lake.
"If only I can reach it! If only I can get there!!"
If they could make a wish to the Spirit, forget becoming the strongest and most powerful man in the world—able to toy with women and enjoy the finest delicacies all day while being flattered—they could at least become a world hegemon. They could act willfully to their heart's content!
The soldiers, who had been working together just moments ago, went mad trying to seize the wishing slot. They slaughtered one another until only a single, scarred general remained, finally reaching the lakeshore.
"I—I want to make a wish!"
He saw the Spirit and was overjoyed... but the Spirit did not grant his request. Instead, she rejected him with a divine air: "The person qualified to make a wish has already been determined. Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, you are not that person."
The general's eyes turned blood-red; he tried to lunge forward in desperation, but he drew his final breath before he could reach her.
No one knew that the army had collapsed due to its own greed, so all of humanity was now in a frenzy. Kings, nobles, peasants, merchants, and beggars alike were mobilized at high speed. Once they obtained the Spirit, their victory would be certain. With such a powerhouse submitting to them, anyone could unite the world.

「Having obtained the Spirit and grown stronger himself, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka finally possessed the confidence to face the King directly. The grand army marched out, closing in on the Royal Capital.」
「By this time, Ayanokouji had engaged in a dozen more battles of wits with Norn. The latter had already improved to her absolute limit, yet it was meaningless; therefore, Ayanokouji showed no more mercy.」
「Upon capturing Norn for the final time, he did not release her. Instead, he kept her by his side, toying with her whenever he felt the whim, driving Blade into a state of powerless, hysterical rage.」
「The Cannon Hero, Bullet, was also captured. Ayanokouji summoned dozens of burly, thick-waisted women to "entertain" him. For a "creepy man" who only liked men, this was naturally the ultimate torture.」
「Norn gradually forgot her sister, thinking only of Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, while the Cannon Hero plummeted into the most vicious abyss, never to rise again.」

"Heh, you bitch! You like being toyed with that easily? And you talked about avenging me? I don't need help from a slut like you who likes being watched by the public!"
In the Royal Capital, Norn had previously been able to treat her sister's myriad insults as a form of "flirting." But now, seeing herself conquered by Ayanokouji on the screen, her mood was at its absolute worst.
Flare's insults added fuel to the fire. Norn finally snapped, throwing a vase that shattered against her sister's head.
"Give it a rest! You're just a fool who was killed by a fire rod; you have no right to talk to me!"
She was no longer a "sister-con"; she suddenly felt her sister was utterly hideous. Screaming and shouting, Flare and Norn—the two princesses—tore at each other, erupting into a physical brawl.
The bond between the sisters was completely shattered as both lost control.
As for the Cannon Hero... just as he had mocked the Blade Hero before, the Blade Hero now mocked him with equal vitriol.

「The final battle was the Kingdom's last desperate gamble, committing all military forces to a frontal confrontation.」
「"My two daughters, my three subordinates, my vast armies, my Kingdom's dignity, my supreme power..."」
「The King looked at Ayanokouji Kiyotaka with hatred. He murmured to himself; in this moment, he felt as if several people in his mind and body were giving him a push.」
「His eldest daughter Flare, his second daughter Norn, Kureha before her defection, Eagle Eye before his death—everything seemed to transform into a force aiding him...」
「"Endless War God, come forth!"」
「Controlled by this force, the King looked down upon the world. He felt this was the strongest moment of his life; he was destined to win! ...」
「Dead.」
「The combined strike of Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, the Spirit, Kureha, and Eve Reese pulverized the King instantly.」
「"Damn it, what was this fool stirring up? Did he really think he could win?"」
「Killing the heart—Ayanokouji Kiyotaka laughed uproariously. With the King dead, the Kingdom's army naturally surrendered.」
「The entire Kingdom underwent a change of regime, its territories falling entirely into Ayanokouji's hands. He launched various operations.」
「First, he executed all the old nobility... though he spared the City Lord of Buranikka. Then, he executed the entire Kingdom army to establish the inviolable majesty of the Emperor.」
「Next came the centralization of power. No matter how high anyone else stood, everyone in his faction was merely his slave. No matter how great their contributions, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka could execute them with a single word.」
「While inspiring terror, he also utilized his knowledge to increase agricultural development and the commercial economy. The people's lives were refreshed, and the quality of happiness saw a quantum leap.」
「After tidying up the Kingdom, he began his offensive against the demons. He slaughtered all the Demon King candidates and installed Eve as the new Demon King, while simultaneously conquering the other human kingdoms of this world.」
「When the wars were fully resolved a year later, Ayanokouji set about "slaughtering the gods." He massacred the so-called Divine Beasts and Gods who lived in seclusion at the pinnacle of the world's power.」
「Once finished, he ordered the Spirit to commit suicide. Only when he was the sole, strongest existence in the world would people's awe reach its peak.」
「And it was around this time that he finally found the Philosopher's Stone.」
「But Ayanokouji was in no hurry to pull this world back to Earth. He was patient; he waited three more years. During these three years, he continuously brainwashed his subordinates until the loyalty of every single one reached the required standard.」
「Only then did he make a wish to the Philosopher's Stone to take this world back to Earth.」
「The Philosopher's Stone did not fail his expectations and did exactly that.」
「After a burst of brilliant light, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka opened his eyes. He saw him—Hikigaya Hachiman, looking back at him from across the distance.」
「Ayanokouji Kiyotaka let out the most uninhibited and joyful maniacal laugh of his life.」

Keyaru's world began to impatiently merge with Earth and Emilia's world, racing to enter this universe. The process was incredibly rapid.
The second viewing had officially come to an end.
