If even the erosion domain could not conceal the colors upon the girl...
Then... is the domain of a "Throne" the same?
Su Yuzu did not know.
But right now, there was no way to test it.
She knew what that Aberrant girl named Feng Ke's goal was in wanting her to ascend the Throne within the city limits. What was it?
With the precedent of Kujou Iruka, humanity... would not allow a second Empress of the Abyss to be born.
Even if only a single faction wanted to eliminate her in the bud, it would likely push her directly into the Abyss.
They didn't understand, and even the organization behind Feng Ke didn't understand.
The so-called "Seat of Karma"... to Su Yuzu, was never an Abyss from which there was no salvation once one slipped and fell, right from the start.
『She was already at the bottom of the Abyss.』
『There was nowhere left to fall.』
『...』
In a split second, Su Yuzu looked at Feng Ke, who was staring in astonishment at the girl in the white skirt.
She immediately sprinted forward, drawing her blade for a vertical cleave.
Feng Ke hadn't expected that Su Yuzu, far from being afraid, would... actually dare to launch a direct attack against her.
What she expected least of all was that Su Yuzu's offensive would be so fierce that she genuinely couldn't find a way to counter it for a moment.
Her fist blades parried the blade of the naginata.
The girl's movements were smooth as flowing water, yet carried heavy momentum.
At the same time—
Boom!!!
The engine of "Behemoth" roared. The giant shield, deeply embedded in the ground, lifted to parry in front of that girl in the thin skirt.
A dark red field opened up.
Regardless of whether she was friend or foe.
The "Behemoth" blocking in front of her was both a sturdy shield that could protect her, and a cage that could shackle her.
Gale winds blew, and Feng Ke was forced to retreat again and again under Su Yuzu's offensive.
She looked at the girl's crimson eyes and suddenly realized a very serious problem.
The "Eye of Insight" had completely misjudged Su Yuzu's strength.
One month ago, she was still a Level.0 with absolutely no power.
But now—
Even if the girl did not ascend the Throne.
Even without using the rules that the "Eye of Insight" did not yet know, she could still fight back and forth head-on against a Second Sequence Aberrant.
But... it was only back and forth.
The dark golden vertical pupils, which already appeared unusually furious because of Su Yuzu's 'indisposition', blazed as if they were about to burn.
[Oh storm—]
[Blow down the stars.]
Raging winds blew up from nowhere, pushing away the blade in Su Yuzu's hand.
If Su Yuzu possessed Metal Manipulation at this moment, she could have completely smashed the main body of "Behemoth" directly into Feng Ke's face.
But she didn't.
Su Yuzu hadn't successfully seduced Unohana Chiyo yet.
Moreover... it was still unknown whether the ability obtained from Unohana Chiyo would actually be "Metal Manipulation".
In the center of the storm, the front flap of Feng Ke's cheongsam was blown up.
The attire of Aberrant girls was often very erotic.
Just like Feng Ke's cheongsam.
The slits were so high that it even gave Su Yuzu the illusion that the girl was actually just wearing a door curtain draped over her body.
Instant access.
However... looking at the Aberrant girl's fierce, dark golden vertical pupils, Su Yuzu knew... the shackles constraining her had been released.
The distance between the two was only a few meters.
For the Aberrant girl, it would take only an instant to close in, knock down Su Yuzu's slender body, and pierce the fist blade into Su Yuzu's heart.
The dark azure figure of the girl transformed into a blowing gale, arriving in a flash.
Su Yuzu could even smell the scent on Feng Ke, a cool fragrance akin to peppermint flowers.
The dark golden beast-like vertical pupils met Su Yuzu's gaze.
Su Yuzu could even see the shape of the Aberrant girl's lips: "Fall into the Abyss."
The tip of the fist blade was already pressing towards Su Yuzu's chest.
But... no matter how fast the wind was, it couldn't be faster than the girl's gaze.
In the instant the fist blade was about to touch Su Yuzu.
Su Yuzu looked at Feng Ke, who was pressing down upon her, and the girl's beautiful crimson eyes shone brilliantly.
[Twist—]
Bang
It seemed as if an invisible string... had been snapped.
Behind the dark red giant shield of "Behemoth", which neither Su Yuzu nor the Aberrant girl could see, the eyes of the girl in the thin skirt standing obediently within the force field suddenly lit up like a burning sun.
Thud
A heavy sound.
But it wasn't the sound of Mars colliding with Earth.
It was the sound of Su Yuzu being tackled by Feng Ke, her back hitting the ground heavily.
The Aberrant girl knelt on one knee, straddling Su Yuzu's body.
Her right hand, which had just been wrapped in the fist blade... appearing as if it would slice open Su Yuzu's chest and pierce her heart... was now pressing against Su Yuzu's chest, almost at a loss.
Those dark golden vertical pupils... were filled with a rather subtle confusion.
Su Yuzu had never directly used the ability of "Ultimate lady-kill... Hand of Paradox" on an Aberrant before.
What she had always applied it to were mostly the Catastrophe Crystals on Aberrants or Chimera Amalgams.
The only time she had directly used "Hand of Paradox" on a human body so far was on Ms. Unohana Chiyo.
But... there had been no effect.
Looking at the Aberrant girl on top of her who was completely unharmed... Su Yuzu suddenly felt a headache.
Her rule was indeed a gag-type ability.
Or rather... some kind of Holy Mother ability.
The world suddenly became very quiet.
Only the ear-piercing alarms of the Aberrant invasion over the city remained.
Clomp, clomp, clomp—
The sound of orderly footsteps.
It was the armed personnel of the Investigation Bureau.
Only then did Feng Ke realize what she had done. She hurriedly pulled her hand out from inside Su Yuzu's clothes.
"Th..."
"Count yourself lucky this time!!!"
"We will not give up!"
"Eternal Night will eventually descend upon the earth; thereupon the sun will never rise, and there will be no more dawn!"
Clearly, these should have been very imposing words, but in the girl's current situation, they made Su Yuzu feel... that the girl was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
Or the kind of villain with innate comedic attributes found in children's cartoons.
For some reason.
Su Yuzu even felt that with the girl's tone... the effect might be even better if she dyed her hair blonde.
The Aberrant girl transformed her entire being into a formless wind and vanished instantly.
The dark red erosion domain disappeared along with her.
Only then did Su Yuzu realize her chest felt a burst of cold.
She looked down... a slit had been vertically cut right down the center of her school uniform, and her disobedient underwear was tottering on the brink of exposure.
Clomp, clomp, clomp—
The Miss Superintendent from the Investigation Bureau trotted up to Su Yuzu.
Su Yuzu stood up, covering her chest with a weird expression.
"Please disarm." The Miss Superintendent looked nervously at Su Yuzu, the blade beside her, and... that deep red giant shield.
Su Yuzu deactivated "Behemoth's" force field.
From behind the field, a girl poked out her small head, staring straight at Su Yuzu, her gaze innocent and ignorant.
