An expression of shock and disbelief appeared on Otoma=Raga's nebula-formed face!
She could sense that this "ingredient" before her was rapidly "evolving" in a way she couldn't comprehend! He was leaping from a three-dimensional life form to a dimension equal to hers!
"No... impossible!" she shrieked. "How could a mere lower-dimensional creature possibly touch upon the domain of Sovereigns!?"
"Nothing's impossible." Cloud rolled his wrists with a series of cracks, like warming up before battle.
He looked up at Otoma=Raga and revealed a friendly, harmless smile.
"Miss Boss, you just said dinner was over, right?"
"I think you spoke too soon."
"You ate our appetizers, main course, and dessert... Now it's my turn to treat you to Earth's local specialty."
With that, he snapped his fingers.
A golden, glittering menu constructed of laws appeared in his hand out of thin air.
He opened the menu and, in the courteous tone of a restaurant waiter taking an order, slowly read aloud:
"Dish name: Universal Buddha Jumps Over the Wall—Supreme Deluxe Edition."
"Main ingredient: One cosmic gourmet, Otoma=Raga."
"Side ingredients: Your Divine Realm, your laws, all the dimensions you've consumed... oh, and your lofty arrogance."
"As for cooking method..." Cloud closed the menu and revealed a smile that could only be called demonic.
"I'll use my unique law—Infinite Plunder—to devour you completely, bones and broth and all!"
"Bon appétit!"
As his words fell, Cloud's figure instantly vanished from his position.
The next second, he appeared before Otoma=Raga.
He simply extended his hand, reaching for Otoma=Raga's nebula-formed face.
"Insolence!"
Otoma=Raga roared, channeling the law-power of her entire "Divine Realm," transforming it into a chaos beam capable of annihilating universes, firing at Cloud!
Yet Cloud's hand ignored all laws, ignored all energy, ignored all space-time.
His hand was as if it were the only "reality" in the universe.
The chaos beam was forcibly "plundered" the instant it touched his palm, becoming part of his own power.
Then that hand effortlessly penetrated all of Otoma=Raga's defenses and closed around her star-formed throat.
"You—!"
In her shock, Otoma=Raga was about to speak.
"Shh..."
Cloud placed a finger to her lips in a "quiet" gesture.
"Don't speak with your mouth full."
"It's my mealtime now."
His palm began to emanate an endless, all-devouring suction.
Otoma=Raga's body, constructed of universal laws, began to crack apart inch by inch, transforming into the most fundamental data streams, being madly plundered and absorbed by Cloud!
A "Last Supper" sweeping across all dimensions had finally, in a way no one could have predicted...
Welcomed its true "main course."
And this time, the positions of hunter and prey had completely reversed.
...
When Cloud's hand, containing the law of "Infinite Plunder," closed around Otoma=Raga's throat, the entire "Divine Realm" let out an overburdened wail.
This was no longer a battle.
This was a server administrator performing "physical deletion" on an unwanted super-virus that had tried to format the hard drive.
"You... you lowly worm! Release me!"
Otoma=Raga, this cosmic gourmet who viewed myriad realms as food, let out a frantic shriek.
Her voice was no longer elegant, no longer languid, but filled with fury like a fishwife's curses.
She mobilized her authority as a higher-dimensional being and launched the most unreasonable "law attacks" against Cloud.
...
[Round One: Account Deletion VS Save File Reload]
"Law—Existence Erasure!"
Otoma=Raga activated one of her ultimate authorities.
She attempted to completely delete "Cloud" and all information about him from this universe's "underlying code"!
In an instant, in the minds of all spectators below, all memories of Cloud began to blur and fade.
Chizuru Kagura's mirror could no longer reflect his image.
Mai Shiranui's flames could no longer sense his warmth.
Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami even forgot why they were standing here.
Cloud's figure was being forcibly erased from everyone's cognition!
"Hehehehe... Disappear! Become a concept that never existed!" Otoma=Raga let out a triumphant cackle.
Yet Cloud merely tilted his head, wearing an expression that said "Are you giving me a massage?"
"Oh? Trying to delete my account?"
He smiled, then activated his authority as a "Dimensional Sovereign."
"Law—Causality Rewrite!"
He didn't resist the erasure force—instead, he went directly to a higher level of "causality" and began madly "Ctrl+C" and "Ctrl+V."
[Rewriting causality...]
[Event: "Cloud's birth" causality has been copied 10^100 times, pasted across all timelines of past, present, and future.]
[Event: "Cloud's encounters with the harem" causality set to universal maximum priority—undeletable, unmodifiable.]
[Event: "Cloud beats up Otoma=Raga" causality forcibly written into the universe's final chapter.]
The next second, not only were everyone's memories restored—they became even clearer!
Chizuru Kagura could even recall the scene of Cloud stealing her lollipop for the first time.
Mai Shiranui's mind played on loop every cool move Cloud made when teaching her new techniques.
And Otoma=Raga discovered in horror that not only had she failed to delete Cloud, but her own "Book of Existence" had been forcibly filled with humiliating histories titled "108 Ways I Got Styled On By Cloud"!
"NO—! You're cheating! How can you modify the script!"
"Sorry," Cloud's grip on her throat tightened, "I'm not just an actor—I'm also the screenwriter, the director, and the investor."
