Aqua was like a rocket, blasting through the roof, turning into a shining star.
"Whoa!"
Satou Kazuma put a hand on his forehead, looking up, Aqua had already disappeared from his sight.
Aqua, I'll remember you!
"You guys, damn you, damn you, damn you, damn you!"
Regulus's voice became incredibly hoarse from his excited emotions, as he tried his best to dig away all the dirt blocking his view.
"I'm going to kill you! Kill you!"
Satou Kazuma shifted his gaze to Regulus. According to Aqua's 'best effort' verification, Regulus had a heartbeat, his heart returned to his body.
As expected, the previous guesses were correct. Regulus could only transfer his heart to his wife, and this power also had a certain range limit.
Luckily, this guy's preference isn't a problem.
Satou Kazuma wasn't 100% sure if there were any conditions for Regulus's recognition of his wife. The worst case was that he was a shameless guy, and anyone he unilaterally identified as his wife could become the heart's vessel, so Satou Kazuma didn't let any other women travel with him, and had Beatrice and Natsuki Subaru leave together.
As for Aqua—
No need to worry about this guy.
"What kind of expression would this guy have if he saw someone like Ferris?"
At this moment, Satou Kazuma's eyes were full of fighting spirit. He raised his hand and cast a spell at Regulus.
Fire!
Regulus had just regained his vision when he saw an extremely dazzling light engulfing him, and subconsciously activated his power to resist it.
He really thought the magic Satou Kazuma used would have a huge destructive power.
Regulus would never have thought that Satou Kazuma's fire couldn't even light a match.
Satou Kazuma's purpose was to induce the other party to use his ability.
When his heart returns to his body and he activates his power, his heart stops beating, causing him intense pain.
"Pain, pain, pain!!!"
Regulus let out a heart-wrenching scream, and his whole body suddenly lost strength and he knelt on the ground, gasping for breath.
"Pain? So you can feel pain?"
At this moment, an unkind smile appeared on Satou Kazuma's face. He rushed directly in front of Regulus and gave his face a severe beating.
After his heart returns to his body, this guy definitely can't use his power without limits.
Now is the time for execution!
"Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora (another hundred omitted here)!!!"
Under Satou Kazuma's airtight attack, Regulus was directly knocked unconscious.
Because of the intense pain in his heart, Regulus couldn't use his power without limit, lasting at most four or five seconds.
And once the power stopped, what awaited him would be Kazuma's anger.
He can't forgive a guy who hogs the toilet without doing anything!
Without the power, Regulus's body was just a thin ordinary person, with no fighting skills, and even his mentality was very fragile.
Regulus's entire face seemed to be inflated like a balloon, half of his face bulging like fermenting dough, puffing up his flesh, completely swallowing his usual features. His cheekbones had long been buried, and the swollen flesh at the corners of his eyes tightly squeezed his eye sockets. His eyes only had a narrow slit left, barely revealing a dim light. He was saying something like "aba aba" in his mouth, but it was unclear, and soon there was no sound, and he passed out.
"BaKazuma, are you guys okay!"
At this moment, Beatrice and Natsuki Subaru also rushed over anxiously. They had settled those girls in a safe place, and then returned as quickly as possible to support Satou Kazuma.
As a result, as soon as they came back, they saw Satou Kazuma beating Regulus violently.
"BaKazuma?"
A surprised expression appeared on Beatrice's face. She didn't expect Satou Kazuma to have already taken down Regulus.
This guy is actually pretty reliable at a critical moment.
A smile appeared on Beatrice's face.
From taking herself away from the mansion to saving Geuse, and now defeating the Sin Archbishop of Greed, BaKazuma can always reach the most perfect ending.
"Why do you get to have so many beautiful girls! Didn't you say my luck value is higher? I don't feel it at all!"
"Why is there no normal person around me! The ones who fit my aesthetic are either lazy good-for-nothings, or super masochists and killers, and there's also a guy whose personality is so arrogant that it's nasty, they're all weirdos!"
"And why are all the girls around me little girls? The summoned monsters want to kill me, they're extremely violent and kick my face all the time, and there's also a super tsundere! All the girls around me are little girls, damn it! I also want normal older women! I'll find a chance to steal Betty's Book of Wisdom later and write something in it!"
Satou Kazuma's voice echoed in the almost ruined mansion.
"Betty..."
Natsuki Subaru swallowed and turned to look at Beatrice beside him. A terrifying killing intent instantly spread out.
"BaKazuma!!!! Betty will never forgive you!"
.....
A few seconds later, Satou Kazuma knelt in front of Beatrice, his forehead pressed tightly against the ground:
"Betty! I'm sorry! I was just joking! Little girls, uh, uh..."
Satou Kazuma's expression gradually became twisted, as if he was about to utter some world-destroying curse.
"That's not the point!"
Beatrice puffed out her cheeks and turned her head to the side, humming.
"Betty clearly said it was okay for me to call you a little girl for a hundred years!"
"Betty never said anything like that! BaKazuma, can't you tell the difference between reality and dreams?"
"Okay, okay, don't be angry, I'll get you a cake tonight!"
"Do you think Betty is that easy to fool!"
"What kind of cake?"
"Betty won't forgive you if it doesn't taste good!"
"Tch, as expected, just a little girl."
"Did Betty just hear you muttering something?"
"You must have misheard me? I didn't."
"Um, Kazuma?"
Just then, Natsuki Subaru seemed to notice something and looked up at the ceiling—
There was a big hole there.
"Did we forget something?"
"What?"
"You didn't really forget, did you? Aqua, Aqua!"
"Oh, oh, oh! That useless goddess, theoretically, she should be landing soon, right?"
"Landing?"
Natsuki Subaru looked at Satou Kazuma in surprise, confirming that he hadn't misheard the word he used.
At the same time, he heard a certain sound in his ears.
It was the sound of something moving at high speed, tearing through the air.
Accompanied by—
"Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!"
A few seconds later, something fell precisely from that big hole, heavily hitting the ground, leaving a human-shaped crater.
This sound was a little familiar...
Could it be Aqua?
How did she fly into the sky?
"Useless goddess, are you okay?"
Satou Kazuma stepped forward and asked.
Natsuki Subaru was dumbfounded and cautiously walked forward.
Suddenly, Aqua's head popped out:
"I'm okay! Hey, hey, Kazuma, what you said earlier still counts, right? You're going to open a special pub for me, right?!"
While Aqua was speaking, she spat out a few stones.
"Yeah, anyway, we'll have money when we get back, so we can renovate the slums and build a pub! It's a good time to talk to Russell about it."
"You have to keep your word! Otherwise, you'll be punished by heaven!"
Satou Kazuma reached out his hand and pulled her out of the pit.
Natsuki Subaru's mouth was slightly open. Even though he had previously thought that he had gradually adapted to the style of the two people in front of him, the scene in front of him was still a bit beyond his imagination.
"Um? Don't you guys think there's something wrong?"
Natsuki Subaru looked at the pit on the ground and pursed his lips.
Aqua was blown away by the White Whale before and now fell from a high altitude, but she was unscathed?
Is this reasonable?
"What's wrong! This goddess's figure is super great! And my weight has always been maintained at the most perfect level! It's reasonable to smash out such a shallow pit!"
"Hey, hey... That's not what I'm asking! You... you're not hurt at all?"
"How could I not be hurt at all, it hurts so much, aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh."
"Just hurts..."
"But for my children, for my children, all of this is worth it! I can drink all kinds of alcohol every day!"
There seemed to be flames burning in Aqua's eyes—
"After all, Aqua is a useless goddess, no matter how useless she is, she's still a goddess."
Satou Kazuma sighed.
For a guy like that to be a goddess, it's really unfair!
Suddenly, Aqua seemed to realize something. She walked in front of Natsuki Subaru at almost the same terrifying speed as when Satou Kazuma saw a beautiful woman, almost touching his face, and an incredibly resentful expression appeared on her face:
"No way, Subaru, no way, you shouldn't have believed I was a goddess from beginning to end, right? Besides Kazuma, you're the second person who knows about this, you shouldn't have not believed I was a goddess all this time, from when we came to the royal capital until this situation, right? No way, no way, no way?"
Her eyes were empty and deep, as if she wanted to swallow Natsuki Subaru directly.
"I... I... I always believed!"
Natsuki Subaru replied immediately.
It's really good that Crusch isn't here.
"That's a good child!"
"Then, what do we do with this guy?"
Natsuki Subaru quickly changed the topic and said, looking at Regulus on the ground.
It should be Regulus, right? That face... it's even more miserable than when I first met Satou Kazuma.
But obviously, Regulus hadn't died yet.
"We have to get more information about the Witch Cult from this guy."
Satou Kazuma replied.
Through the previous conversation, Satou Kazuma already knew that the appearance of the White Whale was inseparable from the Witch Cult, and it was very likely that they used means to lure the White Whale to this place.
Satou Kazuma had previously heard Wilhelm say that his wife, the previous Sword Saint Theresia, had died at the hands of the White Whale.
But Satou Kazuma noticed something was wrong, and Wilhelm seemed to have noticed it too.
Although the White Whale was strong, it wasn't that strong.
With Theresia's ability, even if she couldn't defeat the White Whale, she should be able to protect herself.
Why did it end up like this in the end?
Judging from the White Whale's attack methods and the previous information, the White Whale also didn't seem to eat people, otherwise there wouldn't have been any corpses found after the previous subjugation battle.
The existence of Theresia and the other corpses hadn't been forgotten, which also meant that she hadn't been affected by the White Whale's Mist of Eradication.
Perhaps someone else killed them.
Moreover, where did Theresia's body go?
Satou Kazuma didn't know the answer. He just felt that all of this might be related to the Witch Cult. Out of caution, he still wanted to see if he could get information about the Witch Cult from Regulus.
After all, Geuse only had past memories.
"But once this guy wakes up, he'll be a troublesome existence. By the way, useless goddess, if this guy has a power, then that means he has a Witch Factor, right? Can you pull this thing out?"
Satou Kazuma asked.
He had thought of various methods. One of them was to lock Regulus in a prison full of big guys, but that still wasn't safe enough.
The best way was to erase his power.
When Aqua purified Geuse before, she mentioned that she seemed to be able to do this.
"Leave it to me!"
Aqua patted her chest and walked to Regulus's side.
Beatrice shook her head and said seriously:
"Witch Factors are not so easy to pull out. Only after the holder dies will the Witch Factor transfer..."
"Hey, it's done!"
Aqua said.
"Huh?"
Beatrice looked at Aqua in shock. A black, unknown object was swirling in her fingertips.
It was like a solid and a liquid, and it was constantly changing its shape.
"I feel like this thing can't be thrown away casually!"
A meaningful smile appeared on Satou Kazuma's face,
"Why don't we, why don't we~ why don't we just give this Greed Factor to me!"
If he could also gain the same ability as the Sin Archbishop of Greed, it would be invincible!
Even if he didn't transfer his heart to other people, those few seconds of invincibility would be crazy enough!
With it, he might really be able to clear this other world!
