In the instant he lost consciousness, Ley seemed to see something terrifying.
████████████████
It was an existence beyond his understanding, an indescribable horror, a being from a higher plane.
Ley's mind shattered in that instant, along with his body, and he collapsed.
As a Gluttony Archbishop, he was ultimately just a mortal, and swallowing a god's name was simply impossible.
Even if Ley could do it, Aqua's memory of over ten thousand years was definitely not something he could swallow.
"Huh?"
Satou Kazuma looked in confusion at Ley, who had suddenly fallen to the ground unconscious, then looked at Aqua beside him, recalling Ley's actions just now.
First, he touched Aqua's hand, and then he licked his own hand.
How disgusting. This is something only a pervert would do, right?
How disgusting, how disgusting! It's so disgusting that I want to kick him a couple of times.
But why did this guy suddenly fall?
The useless goddess clearly didn't do anything, did she?
Could it be!?
Satou Kazuma suddenly seemed to understand something, then turned his head to look at Aqua beside him, his eyes filled with disgust.
"Kazuma, why are you looking at me like that?"
Aqua's face was full of confusion.
"How long has it been since you took a bath?"
"?"
"That guy touched you, then licked the part he just touched, and then he passed out. The only explanation is that you haven't showered! You're like a poisonous slime right now!"
"What are you talking about! You'll be punished by the heavens for slandering a goddess! I take baths every day! And even if I don't, my body is spotless and super clean!"
Aqua's speech became a little stuttered, obviously a little flustered.
Regulus, on the other hand, was still staring blankly at the people in the distance, unable to understand what was going on.
Aqua was unharmed after being attacked by his power.
But after Ley activated his power, he himself was in a life-or-death situation.
Regulus didn't care about Ley's situation because he didn't consider him his comrade, only a fellow Archbishop of Sin.
He was defeated because he was too weak, and it had nothing to do with Regulus. It wouldn't matter if he died here.
The only thing Regulus couldn't understand was how Aqua did all this.
Does this girl also have some kind of power?
No, no, impossible!!!
No matter what ability this girl has, it can't possibly be a match for me!
I'm the most perfect and powerful person, how could anyone withstand my attacks!
Impossible, impossible, impossible!
Regulus's expression became more and more distorted. He didn't want to care about anything now, he just wanted to kill everyone in front of him!
No matter what Aqua used, he was going to kill her!
What's more, this Aqua and the seemingly unremarkable guy next to her kept talking to each other and ignoring his presence, which made him even angrier.
"Let's all die together!"
"Steal!"
Just as Regulus was about to attack, Satou Kazuma suddenly reached out and aimed at Regulus!
He was talking to Aqua in a roundabout way to distract Regulus.
Satou Kazuma also used the Steal ability, based on his previous experience fighting Sloth.
Sloth was incredibly attached to the Book of Wisdom back then!
So, if he could steal Regulus's Book of Wisdom, maybe he could restrict his actions, or even find a way to defeat him!
For the Archbishops of Sin, the most important thing is the Book of Wisdom, right?
The next moment, Satou Kazuma's hand felt an incredibly soft sensation, even a bit gentle, and he could also feel a slight vibration there.
Wait?
This feeling?
It feels a little familiar?
Satou Kazuma looked at his hand. Right now, his palm was grabbing something—or rather, some part of the body.
And a strange woman appeared out of nowhere in front of him.
?
??
???
With golden hair and beautiful features, the young woman in front of him was undoubtedly a beauty.
And the feel is not bad, the feel is not bad, the feel is not bad—
No! What's going on?
Who is this person?
Why did I steal a person after using the Steal skill?
And did I really have to grab that part with my hand?
Hehe, although it's pretty good.
I can even feel the heartbeat.
Her heartbeat seems a little fast...
But that's not the point!
This situation is completely unexpected, right?
Even though Satou Kazuma has a good brain, he's completely confused at this moment.
"Oh my, as expected of Kazuma-sama! Even in this situation, you don't forget to do such lewd things~"
Elsa looked at Satou Kazuma with admiration.
"Hey, hey, that's not it! I don't even know what's going on right now!"
Satou Kazuma quickly defended himself.
What exactly is going on?
My Steal ability should only be able to steal objects, right?
Why did I steal a person this time?
Could it be that this person is no different from an object to Regulus?
Not only that, shouldn't I only be able to steal things that Regulus is carrying?
Does Regulus have a pocket dimension where he keeps this girl?
What is going on?
Just as Satou Kazuma was confused, he could feel the girl's heartbeat slowing down, seeming to be only half of its original speed, but that was a normal heartbeat speed.
"Number 184?! Why are you here?!"
Regulus, who was about to attack, instantly stopped his preparations, looking at Satou Kazuma in horror, completely unable to understand what was happening.
"Husband? What's, what's happening?"
The girl's face also showed a surprised and terrified expression. Everything that was happening now was completely beyond her understanding.
Husband?
Satou Kazuma's brain was racing, thinking about the situation.
This woman is Regulus's wife.
An idea instantly surged into Satou Kazuma's mind.
Why her.
Why?
Why!
Why does even this guy have a wife!
But Satou Kazuma also felt a little strange. Regulus didn't use a name or nickname to call her, but instead said a string of numbers.
And there didn't seem to be any affection between them like you'd expect from a married couple.
Satou Kazuma didn't have time to think. Since he was holding the other person's wife in his hand, that meant he had a hostage!
He immediately turned around and hugged the blonde girl, while the fingertips of his other hand condensed into a fireball, aiming it at her head.
"Don't you come over here! Be careful, or I'll kill your wife!"
Satou Kazuma threatened loudly.
"Hey, hey, what kind of scene is this?"
Natsuki Subaru felt like his world had taken a huge hit.
Just looking at it now, Satou Kazuma seems more like the villain, right?
And his hands seem a little too handsy.
She's even Regulus's wife...
Isn't this a classic element from many anime shows?
Regulus stared intently at Satou Kazuma. He had no idea what was going on.
The person he called Number 184 was indeed Regulus's wife.
But in Regulus's eyes, she's just his belonging.
He would forcibly kidnap girls who fit his aesthetic standards to be his wives, and kill all their relatives and friends.
Regulus didn't do this because of his lust, but rather because of his unique possessiveness and desire for control. For him, his wives were like figurines, only needing to maintain their cute appearance.
They couldn't have their own emotions, or even expressions.
Those who disobeyed would die.
He previously had more than two hundred wives, and now, after wanton killings, he had only fifty or so left.
It was because of the terrifying gap in strength that fear was deeply ingrained in the hearts of Regulus's wives.
And for Regulus, his wives had another use.
That was to become containers for his heart.
Although his authority to solidify things allowed Regulus to maintain an invincible state where he couldn't die, his heart still had to keep beating. Once his heart stopped, Regulus would experience unbearable pain.
To achieve true invincibility, Regulus would use another ability of his authority to transfer his heart to one of his wives.
And Satou Kazuma actually used some means to teleport his wife to this place.
Even accurately, to that one whose heart had been transferred?!
Regulus couldn't understand how the other party did it.
He became even more wary of Satou Kazuma.
At the same time, there was unparalleled hatred.
His wife, whom he treated like a figurine, was being held in the arms of another man who looked incredibly lewd. The anger in his heart had reached its peak.
"Your wife is in my hands now. You wouldn't want this lady to get hurt, would you~~"
Satou Kazuma had a completely villainous expression at this moment, with a hint of lewdness in his evil.
"It doesn't matter anymore. She's not pure anymore. Number 184, you're no longer qualified to live in this world!"
Regulus said through gritted teeth. He couldn't wait to swallow Satou Kazuma whole.
He had already transferred his heart to another wife. The Number 184 in front of him no longer had any need to live.
And Satou Kazuma was a little surprised by the sudden change in the other party's attitude.
At first, Regulus seemed a little wary, but now he wasn't anymore?
What's going on?
Could it be...
Satou Kazuma had some guesses in his mind, but seeing the fierce look on the other party's face, he knew very well that he had to take some more action.
"Hey, hey, you have such a beautiful girl as your wife, but you don't cherish her?! Are you even a man?!"
"It doesn't matter anymore. She doesn't need to exist anymore. Besides, I have other wives. I can just find someone prettier later!"
"What!!!!!!!!!!! You, how many wives do you have?"
"Right now, it should be more than fifty!"
Hearing these words, Satou Kazuma's expression instantly changed.
An incredibly sharp gaze shot out from his eyes, like a sharp blade, ready to pierce Regulus with a thousand arrows.
This guy, such an ordinary guy, actually has fifty wives?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
This world!!!
Just be destroyed!!!!
"Kazuma-sama, what a terrifying aura... What kind of power is he hiding?"
Wilhelm couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.
He could feel an incredibly terrifying aura emanating from Satou Kazuma.
It was as if he were a veteran warrior who had been through countless battles.
"You, why, why do you have so many wives?"
"Why? Because they're good-looking!"
"Oh, that makes sense."
Regulus answered irrelevantly, but Satou Kazuma subconsciously agreed and nodded.
Suddenly, Satou Kazuma felt like countless eyes were on his back.
Without turning around, he knew that it was the questioning gazes from Crusch and the others.
"You, what do you take your wives for! You scumbag! What's your name? Is your real name also Number 184? What is your husband? Quickly curse with me!"
"I, uh, I?"
At this moment, 184's brain completely crashed and couldn't understand what was going on at all.
She inexplicably came to this place and met a strange man.
And this man even dared to talk to Regulus like that?
Am I dreaming?
"It's you, you killed my originally cute wife! It's all you! Let's all die together!"
As Regulus spoke, he was about to attack again—
But a smile appeared on Satou Kazuma's face.
He seemed to have found the other party's weakness.
Next, it was time to prove it.
Then let's do it again!
Steal!
Again, that familiar feel.
Another strange woman was also stolen by Satou Kazuma.
Sure enough, another wife was also treated as an object and was affected by Satou Kazuma's skill.
And what Satou Kazuma cared about was the feel of his hands.
This one seems even softer.
Bah, bah, what I meant was the heartbeat.
Satou Kazuma could feel that this girl's heartbeat was also extremely fast.
It was as if she had two hearts.
"What have you done?!"
Regulus hurriedly stopped his actions.
