Hayato suddenly pulled out the sharp fruit knife he had just retrieved, secretly taken from the kitchen, from behind his back.
Using the identity of 'son,' which would never be suspected, and taking advantage of Kira Yoshikage's immersion in new power and his disregard for the 'family' backdrop, he, like the most lethal assassin, poured all his strength into his arm and fiercely stabbed towards Kira Yoshikage's lower back!
"Pfft!"
The muffled sound of the blade entering flesh came.
Kira Yoshikage's body, however, was completely unharmed; instead, Hayato incredibly lowered his gaze, seeing a blood-stained knife tip protruding from his own abdomen. His face was filled with astonishment; he was very sure that the man just now hadn't looked at him.
The intense pain instantly dispelled the intoxication of a successful assassination. At the same time, he saw the man who had replaced his father slowly turn his head, revealing a familiar face, but one filled with pain and hatred, the face of a young boy.
"Hayato... it's good that you've realized. Then you should understand the gap. Why resist?"
Kira Yoshikage's pupils constricted, his voice twisted and angry, like a provoked lion, and Killer Queen: Bites the Dust had quietly appeared behind him.
How could a power that can see through everything not discover the little trick the other party played? Not to mention, Killer Queen was originally automatic, automatically responding to all attacks against him, a skill honed by fate itself.
Let alone a small knife, even a large truck suddenly crashing in would be fine; it would be effortlessly elbowed away by Killer Queen.
But, this NPC, which was so hard to get, who else could replace him? It really added a bunch of troubles for him. These damned kids, just like in the original story, were stubborn.
"Kawakiri Hayato, close your eyes. It will be quick, don't worry, it won't hurt."
But considering the other party was his convenient son, Kira Yoshikage was uncharacteristically gentle. He gently pushed him down. Hayato, with a face contorted in pain, was utterly unable to resist.
As soon as he fell, he completely lost all strength, lying limply on the ground, bleeding profusely, his eyes involuntarily closing as he plunged into darkness.
Looking at him in his capacity as a convenient son, Kira Yoshikage was very lenient, merely reaching out and gently touching his head.
An implosion occurred directly in his brain, instantly taking his life. There was no pain, no struggle; life was lost in an instant, allowing him to find eternal rest in peace.
"Oh, I've figured it out. Why do I have to replace you? Wouldn't it be better to turn you into a vampire or a zombie?"
After casually killing Hayato, Kira Yoshikage chose to continue eating as if nothing had happened, enjoying his delicious self-cooked breakfast while watching TV.
Surprisingly, most TV channels had completely stopped, but after the priest died and everything returned to stability, there were still a few stations that stuck to their posts and were operating normally.
Unfortunately, most were just some boring soap operas, but boring or not, they were enough to accompany his meal. While heartily eating fried rice, Kira Yoshikage pondered in his mind.
To be honest, the plan to revive Shinobu was very simple: just use the power of Bites the Dust. Concentrating this time-bombing power on a specific object would be the temporal regression of that object.
This was a discovery he had made during his travels. Although it hadn't been practically applied yet, it was theoretically feasible. He chose to take a gamble and left one of her finger bones, which he hid in Kira Yoshihiro's photograph.
Now it was back in his hands.
Originally, that bone was just a last resort, a backup plan if his gamble failed and proved unworkable. But now, due to a certain damned mountain god existing in the previous second, if he were to rewind time using Bites the Dust, it might bring Him back.
Therefore, Kira Yoshikage could only use the stone mask now. "Hmm, President, or their cave from back then. They should all have some in stock, right? If not, drawing some of President's blood and then killing him would also work."
A sip of cold orange juice went down. Kira Yoshikage took out a tissue, wiped his mouth, and the TV program just finished. His plan was also initially drafted.
"Hmm, although turning a deceased person into a vampire would have many implications, judging by President's appearance, the deceased can indeed bask in the sunlight. As long as I try hard enough, I think I will..."
"Don't even think about it. You can't do it. That's the power of miracles."
But the voice of the insect arrow suddenly echoed in Kira Yoshikage's mind, instantly interrupting his thoughts. He couldn't help but frown, his hand resting on the sofa, his expression a bit displeased.
"The power of miracles? What do you mean? Don't tell me President's method can't be replicated. I haven't even asked him, how do you know?"
"Because there's no need to ask. Whether it's the Night Clan, vampires, or zombies, not being able to walk in the sunlight is their inherent destiny. Those who defy destiny will surely be abandoned by fate."
"Therefore, he relied on the power of miracles. You cannot replicate it unless you become a god. Oh, perhaps, you might also be like him, find a saint's corpse and worship it. That way, you could also obtain the power of miracles."
Kira Yoshikage frowned, startled. "So you mean he worshipped a saint's corpse? What a joke, where would there be any saints in this world..."
He was about to retort, remembering clearly that the saint's corpse was from Part Seven, something Funny Valentine and his companions fought over throughout their journey, a rare treasure found only in the basic world, the bones of Jesus... But then he suddenly vaguely remembered that there wasn't just one saint's corpse; any saint's body could be called a saint's corpse.
And the condition for being a saint was to cause two miracles after death... it seemed this could also exist outside the basic world?
The corpse in Part Seven was special, a Saint among Saints, which made it exceptionally precious.
In an instant, Kira Yoshikage thought of many things. He stopped speaking and instead pondered silently, "It seems not being able to move in sunlight isn't too big of a drawback. I could also try to snatch the corpse in America."
Seeing this, the sacred beetle buzzed, "Why so? If you just deal with it, you will naturally possess the power to directly revive your loved one. There's no need to settle."
"Moreover, that so-called mountain god has been staring at you in the previous second. Aren't you afraid of this? Don't you want to solve it completely?"
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing. It's just that you need to fulfill your promise."
