"What just happened?" Hope asked, completely confused.
Just a second ago they had been deciding how to overcome the terrible current situation. With 'the terrible current situation' being that all the enemies had just revived and fully recovered their strength and resources, while they had already used many of their cards.
Only for the next second Kaguya to appear on the battlefield and all the enemies who didn't flee to drop dead instantly.
Of course, if she knew that even those who fled were dead, she would be even more surprised.
On the other hand, after using her ability, Kaguya descended back into the sky where the others were and observed her companions.
However, she ignored all of them and their confusion, running toward a shadow that moved behind them.
As soon as she arrived, she hugged the shadow, which quickly transformed into Ai.
"Hayasaka, are you okay? I'm sorry, my family..." She immediately collapsed like a small child, full of concern for her friend, hugging her tightly, afraid she might disappear from her side.
"It's fine, I'm fine" Ai, who had rushed over for an urgent matter, forgot her purpose for a second and simply smiled while gently patting Kaguya's back like a caring older sister. "Besides, Kaito already killed them all"
"No. Actually, they were here, I just killed them" Kaguya murmured as if it were nothing.
Ai stopped her actions when she heard that.
"What?"
"Don't worry about that, I'll explain it later"
Before Ai could question why she would explain it later and not now, not only her, but everyone around them froze.
Kaito's entire territory fell into absolute stillness, with a single exception.
Kaguya noticed it and let go of Ai, then simply sat to the side to wait, resting her cheek on one hand with a completely unchanged expression.
...
"Why not now?"
A full day later, Kaguya watched as everyone began moving again without knowing what had happened.
After an entire day of remaining completely still, just observing them and sensing the territory in case something happened, Kaguya was perfectly normal and showed no signs of fatigue or discomfort.
"Kaguya-sama? What just...?" From Ai's perspective, it looked as if Kaguya had just teleported, so with a confused expression she tried to ask what had happened.
But Kaguya interrupted her before she could finish.
"There's no need, you came here for something else, right?" Kaguya said with a smile, as if she could see right through her.
Even though Kaguya is the mistress and Ai the servant, due to her personality, Ai had never really seen Kaguya as a superior figure, but rather as a somewhat foolish older sister. But now, seeing her, she felt for the first time the sensation of knowing someone is superior to you.
But her mind immediately rejected that feeling produced in her body, returning to thinking of her as always before speaking.
"Right!" she said, opening her eyes as if she had forgotten something for a long time, even though only a few seconds had passed since she arrived. "Kaito had a curse and was going to die"
Her statement immediately drew everyone's attention.
"How is he?" Koneko asked seriously.
"I don't know, I had just recovered when I got here and went to see him, but he's in a strange state similar to how Kaguya was before" Ai explained quickly.
"Don't worry, Kaito is fine now and has already woken up" Kaguya interrupted. "And as for explaining what just happened, let's go to him and we can talk there"
...
"What the hell just happened?"
As soon as he woke up, Kaito checked the notifications he had received earlier, but he understood almost nothing.
Of course, he understood that Kaguya had done something that made him stronger, even evolved him, something he didn't think she would do again.
In fact, Lords of Gaia must evolve again upon reaching level 30 to continue leveling up, however, he didn't need that even though he was already level 38, due to his race being of a higher tier.
But reading the notifications, Kaguya not only did something strange that evolved him, she did it by breaking a so called "last barrier".

"And to think that despite all the people I killed on Earth, none of that gave me experience" Kaito lamented.
Whether it was all the people he killed on Earth or in the last mission world, if they had been here, Kaito was sure he would have gained a few levels.
Unfortunately, leveling up is only possible in Gaia.
But setting that aside, Kaito focused on the new things.
However, after reading, Kaito didn't really understand the situation, since at first glance he had only unlocked a new ability and nothing more.

[Original Demon: Movement]
Description: Since the beginning of time, everything was divided into two, Creation and Destruction, Yin and Yang, White and Black, Good and Evil. From those two concepts, all others were born.
Movement is one of the firstborn of evil, and you... are its incarnation.
• Multiplies your agility by 100
• Multiplies all other stats by 10
• Infinite evolution, no need to change race
• Greater affinity and understanding of evil type magic
• Hidden form
• Negative
• Domain of movement
• Passive Domain of movement - Phase 1: Body
• [Locked]
---
[Domain of movement]
Description: A domain where you can use your true power.
Effect: With you as the center, a circular domain expands where you own all movement.
This ability depends entirely on your power to be used for longer, have less cooldown, and perform more powerful actions.
Note: Although there is no higher ranking conceptual being alive that can resist its effect, dissonant concepts might be able to. Example: Death

Although the description didn't say much, Kaito knew exactly how to use the ability as soon as he received it, so he understood it well.
First of all, when the ability says all movement, it literally means everything.
From the movement of anyone, being able to immobilize them, gravity exerting downward force or the movement of air, to things as extreme as time itself within the domain.
Of course, this depends on his power, at his current level he can extend his domain for around ten kilometers and maintain it for about 30 minutes with a cooldown of one week.
This is based on what Kaito considered a basic state, when he simply prevents all enemies within his domain from moving.
One level higher, with more control, is controlling their movements.
A bit higher is killing them directly, either by stopping their hearts or their brains.
And finally, at the highest level, there is stopping time, something he can only do for a maximum of one minute and requires at least a month before he can use the ability again.
Of course, there are some shortcuts, such as stopping the blood in their bodies, which costs less than stopping specific organs, however, this is weaker since some enemies might have methods to survive.
He can also, instead of moving people, simply keep them still and move the atmosphere around them, similar to telekinesis through energy.
In summary, it is a fairly complex ability that Kaito will have to experiment with to discover everything it can do and, as he becomes more powerful, what more it will allow him to do.
For example, changing the movement of time or reversing aging, things like that.
In addition to that, another surprise Kaito had was discovering that upon evolving, the first two effects of the ability also became stronger.
Although the x100 multiplier in agility and x10 in all other stats remains, he can now add them to others.
Unfortunately, when adding them, if he previously had x10 in strength and adds this x10, it will only become x20 instead of x10x10, which would be x100 and would be incredible, but even so, it is still incredible.
Now, his status underwent a major change again after quite some time.

This makes Kaito's current speed, with a quick calculation, around 66000 km per hour.
That is more than three times what it was the last time he checked, when it was only around 17000 km per hour, and although it may seem like a long time, in reality only a month has passed since then, so even Kaito was surprised by his growth.
Although it increased somewhat due to his own growth and training and he received some bonuses along the way, the biggest increase came this time.
The same goes for his strength, which since the last time he checked, when he could lift just under 5 tons, can now lift 65, a thirteenfold increase.
Of course, in reality it is not that much in a world like this where strength often doesn't matter against the abilities of certain species capable of easily withstanding a blow with that level of power.
But Kaito's strength, when he doesn't simply vibrate his enemies, comes from multiplying his strength by his speed, greatly increasing the power of his blows. Thus, increasing one of the multipliers also increases the result.
After reviewing all this, extremely satisfied, Kaito quickly went to the throne room, where he sensed the others were gathering.
