Chapter 305: All out
Chapter 305: All out
Isao used all of the powers on his body.
Every experience, power, and ability Isao had accumulated from the DNAs of beings across various worlds all culminated in this moment and were all combined and used at the same time.
Naturally, all of that needed a core, and he used the power of Blazer as his core.
Why the Blazers?
Because of the ability of the Blazers to awaken and become a new being, they broke their shackles of fate.
Desperado.
This was the new being that was born after the Blazers broke away from their shackles of fate, a being that existed on the boundary of a human and a demon, yet he broke that limit again, pressing forward toward the boundary of the demon, and released his everything almost excessively, turning him into a new form that wasn't that of a human.
Still, if Nene Saikyo, the heroine from the world "Rakudai," saw what was happening, she would say, "Excessive Awakening."
When Desperado is unable to control their power and lets themselves become a demon, this phenomenon is called the "Excessive Awakening," and when it happens, they will assume demonic features ranging from black skin, horns, wings, tail, etc., as well as some alteration to their size, but the overall appearances depends on the person using it.
Naturally, Isao wasn't much different, yet strangely enough, there was no demonic about him.
Instead of demonic or evil, he appeared holy and angelic, as if he were a being that came from myths, tales, and religions.
The myth became real, and this was his new form.
Not demonic, yet god-like, with six pairs of gold, holy wings on his back with light that basked everyone within his presence.
This form might be weird since, as a bad person, why did he have such a holy-like power?
Yet, this was normal, especially when all the powers he gained through his DNA replication and devoured were mostly related to divinity, holiness, and even heroic ability.
Even if he felt that he was more suitable to become a devil, the form that was born from his ability was like that of a seraph or an even higher being.
Along with the power of One For All and All For One, the divinity of the deities in the world of "Danmachi," even Tatsuya's DNA, and everything else, he became an omnipotent being who could destroy and recreate anything.
However, those who saw him could feel that from the bottom of their hearts, they knew they had awoken something they shouldn't.
The one that impregnated Miya wasn't a being that they could... no, they might not even be worthy of being thought of as his enemies. Instead, this world and all the beings that lived on this whole planet, everything in this world, couldn't even threaten this being.
Yet, what was strange was that even if they knew that this was an enemy, they couldn't make themselves hate him.
Isao, who had used all of his power, didn't hesitate to use his maximum charm, instantly charming all who saw him like they were under the spell.
Facing all of them, Isao just stared at them, and at that moment, all of them lost their powers, and some of them directly died, especially those with those extreme thoughts, yet strangely enough, no one said anything, and they just lay there kowtowing.
"....."
"How boring..."
Isao thought that there would be a fierce fight against his opponents, yet unexpectedly, as he appeared, everything ended just like that. All of them had no resistance; no one even voiced their complaints even if their companions died, yet this was normal since when his presence was just too overwhelming, and his aura crushed their will to fight.
There was no comparison between them since, except for being able to use magic, their bodies were just slightly stronger than normal humans.
So, he didn't pay attention to them and brought Miya close to him. "Are you okay, Miya?"
Only Miya stared at him in a daze, then asked, "...are you Satan?"
"...isn't it supposed to be an angel or something similar?"
Yet, when Isao thought about the origin of Satan, he also felt that... it might not be wrong to say for Miya to call him a Satan.
Originally, like angels, Satan lived in heaven, but due to his pride, he didn't want to obey the will of god to bow before the newly created creature, human. He felt that he was superior and he was better than a human, so why should he bow down?
So due to that action, the god was angry and banished Satan from heaven and sent him to hell.
The holiest and superior creature that was once similar to an angel became the forefather of the devil and seduced humans to do wrong things.
Yet, in Isao's mind, even without a devil, a human would hurt others, though.
But—
"You don't seem surprised."
Unlike the followers of the Yotsuba Family, who could only bow down due to the presence of his aura, Isao didn't do anything to Miya, yet strangely enough, she was so calm.
"...I could tell that you were extraordinary from the moment we met, but I didn't expect that you would be an angel."
"No, you are right. I am a demon."
Instead of an angel, Isao knew that he was a demon.
Hugging Miya's soft waist, he whispered, "After all, I have seduced a married woman and a mother to be with me."
"...you are right. You are a devil." Miya agreed immediately after hearing his words, but then again, she never thought to leave him, but—
"It's fine. I will recover them soon."
"Really? Can you do that?"
"I am not sure whether I can resurrect those who died, though, but I will try."
It was also a good chance to use them to test his skills, and he was sure that even if he experimented on their bodies, they would obediently follow him.
Well, even if they wanted to fight him, they couldn't do anything.
"Thank you."
Even if those people were crazy, Miya still cared about the Yotsuba Family since this was a family where she was born.
As for the fear that they might attack her again if they dared to do so, Miya could imagine that Isao would kill them, then resurrect them, kill them, and then continuously resurrect, torturing them until no one.
At the same time, while Miya wasn't sure, she felt that Isao had an ability that allowed him to control those beings lower than him.
Still, no matter what, Isao thought it was a good chance to test his resurrection ability.
"Unexplored area, the forbidden wall.
As Isao sang, the sky turned dark, yet several balls of light floated in the midair.
All of them in the presence were in silence, even worshipping him, clearly entranced by his voice.
"On this day, I disobey the code of heaven.
"The asklepios of Pius, the chalice of Salus.
"Thy voice is forcing the power of healing to reach out.
"I desire it regardless of the wait.
"Tribunal of the king, the thunder of condemnation.
"If thou art burned despite the providence of God - confront your own hell.
"Open Kaimon, beyond the river of the underworld.
"Listen, dark king.
"Wish to cross the threshold of insanity.
"Stop unexpected tears, scattered lamentation.
"The price had been paid.
"Light of the road.
"To sacrifice given in the past, I want illumination of the foolish desire.
"Oh, I do not look back—"
Several balls of light gathered and created an enormous pillar of light that pierced heaven.
"Dia Orpheus."
As his voice fell, those who died were resurrected and woke up in confusion.
Watching this miracle, everyone was in a daze.
Yet, Isao looked at his hand and thought that the energy taken for this resurrection ability was quite heavy. Still, if there was something fortunate, the One For All that he had gained before helped him a lot, yet as he used all of his powers, he also understood his powers well.
After all, he often lets himself be beaten to create dramatic development and strengthen the parts that he wishes to be.
If he was too strong, then there wouldn't be any fun in the fight as it would end soon, and he would also be unable to learn from those enemies since even if he gained their everything from the DNA replication or devour ability, it would be hurt to see the example, right?
At the same time, he thought that he really had come so far away from a normal young man who thought to give up during the apocalypse into a supreme being who could destroy the world with ease.
Still, if there was a reason why he could do that with ease, he knew that it was all due to Tatsuya's DNA.
'Decomposition.'
In the hands of a magician like Tatsuya, this ability was powerful and even had the potential to destroy the world, but in Isao's hands, who had the One For All, a powerful adventurer, Desperado, and many others, destroying the Earth was an easy thing for him.
Yet, for Miya, when she saw her man's ability to resurrect, she suddenly thought of many people who had died, then at her twin sister, who she had killed, yet... in the end, she shook her head since she knew that no matter what, it was impossible to change the past, and it was because of her past that she could also meet him.
If she changed the past, then would she even meet him?
Still, Isao killed them again and resurrected them again, trying several times until he was sure that he could confirm there was nothing wrong. After all, in the original story, Fels, the sage in the world of "Danmachi," could only be successful with resurrection one time in 800 years of her life.
So, while there was a chance, he tried this power on them.
Regardless, no one said anything and all of them were just in silence, watching their family's life be toyed with by Isao, trembling in fear, hoping this nightmare would stop.
The feeling of their soul being pulled from their bodies was hurt; it was like being ripped apart, and this was done so many times, yet all of them just silently endured it until Isao finished and got an understanding of the power of resurrection.
"Let's go."
"Um."
"Wait! Let me come with you!"
Isao and Miya were ready to return to Hokkaido by creating a warp gate, but Maya reacted so fast, and they entered the warp gate with them before they vanished completely.
Only all the members of the Yotsuba Family, whether they were the mains, branches, servants, or many others, looked at each other and wondered what they should do.
