Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

“Lycoris radiata.”

“Three-tailed fox.”

“Come forth, Momiji-gari.”

“Come forth, Hienma.”

“Fusion, Hiyoribou!”

“Meshiutsubako!”

Seeing Amano Haruna and Kawasaki Saki change into their combat attire, Kasumigaoka Utaha and Hiyajo Maho immediately realized that these were the other two assistants who had appeared in the 'Mask' preview.

“No… you… you all are actually…”

Hiratsuka Shizuka, seeing Amano Haruna, Yuigahama Yui, and Kawasaki Saki all changed into their combat attire, felt extremely envious, wanting such a cool transformation scene for herself. Especially since Hiratsuka Shizuka was the type of older chuuni woman who felt that simply summoning Jeanne d'Arc before such a thrilling and adrenaline-pumping battle seemed to be lacking something.

With such a strong desire to show off, Hiratsuka Shizuka felt a mysterious power surging within her.

“Break through the obstacles… Jeanne d'Arc!”

“Transform!”

Accompanied by the sound of clashing metal, a set of clothes that Kitagawa Marin had seen Ye Xing draw in the design draft appeared on Hiratsuka Shizuka's body. The spiked shoulders and the heavy metal gauntlets gave the outfit a sense of oppression.

“No, Shizuka-sensei, this…”

Hiratsuka Shizuka's sudden transformation completely bewildered everyone present.

“Shizuka-sensei… the commotion of your transformation… isn't it a bit too much…”

Normally, when the Overload Club members changed into their combat attire, it was done in an instant without any sound, emphasizing stealth.

But Hiratsuka Shizuka's transformation process was like a scene from a hot-blooded manga, with pieces of metal clashing against each other before finally attaching to her body to form an outfit. The whole process emphasized being cool, which was exactly the effect she wanted in her heart.

“So, you guys are…”

Compared to the incredulous Kasumigaoka Utaha, Hiyajo Maho's expression was just a little complicated, as if she had already vaguely guessed the truth.

“Maho-senpai, Kasumigaoka-san, we'll slowly explain the details to you after everything is over.”

Yuigahama Yui looked at the Holy Grail puppets outside the Overload Club's apartment building and slowly said.

“Now, it's time to go.”

Yuigahama Yui took the lead, rushing directly out of the Overload Club's apartment building and punching the nearest Holy Grail puppet, blasting it apart.

Although the members of the Overload Club knew that if desire was destroyed, then the person who had their desire taken would not be able to return to normal, at this moment, they could no longer afford to worry about that. If they were to deliberately hold back, the result would only be total annihilation.

“Let's go, Jeanne d'Arc!!!”

Hiratsuka Shizuka's Jeanne d'Arc was also a close-combat specialized Soul Avatar. At this moment, with a punch, she directly sent a Holy Grail puppet flying. The accompanying fist wind even made the surrounding puppets involuntarily take a few steps back.

“Bloom, Lycoris radiata.”

With Futaba Rio absent, Makinohara Shoko was in charge of the group's area-of-effect attacks. As the crimson and eerie flowers bloomed on the ground, the bodies of the Holy Grail puppets rapidly withered and collapsed.

“Domain Expansion…”

After the enemies at close range were cleared, Amano Haruna had enough time to prepare, with lightning-like light flashing in her eyes.

“Clear Weather.”

“Boom!!!”

The lightning that fell from the sky instantly killed dozens of Holy Grail puppets, not even giving them a chance to attack.

“Come forth, Yuki Onna.”

At this moment, Yukinoshita Yukino finally summoned her Soul Avatar. Yuki Onna's lips parted slightly, and she gently exhaled a breath of cold, biting wind, wrapped in instantly frozen rain, like countless sharp thorns, piercing through the bodies of dozens of Holy Grail puppets.

Meanwhile, Anjou Naruko and Yurigawa Hana, who had relatively average combat power, as well as Yukinoshita Yangino and Minamikata Hizuru, and even Amane Suzuha, who had no power but was much stronger than ordinary people, stayed inside the apartment building to protect Kitagawa Marin and Nishimiya Shoko, and the other ordinary people without power.

The members of the Overload Club held the absolute upper hand, but…

From the distance of the street, new Holy Grail puppets were still emerging continuously. The faces of these people were filled with distorted desires, as if they had no reason at all, and they launched a constant stream of attacks like a tide.

…

One hour later.

“These guys, they really are endless…”

Yuigahama Yui gasped slightly, seeing that there were still endless enemies coming from all directions towards the Overload Club's apartment building, and feeling the consumption of her spiritual power, she couldn't help but feel a little heavy in her heart.

She, Amano Haruna, and Yukinoshita Yukino, could still continue to persevere.

But Kawasaki Saki, whose spiritual power consumption was relatively large, and the other members whose strength was not as strong, after an hour of continuous, non-stop, high-intensity combat, were obviously approaching their limit.

“Everyone… is almost unable to hold on anymore…”

Makise Kurisu looked at the Overload Club members fighting the Holy Grail puppets, her face showing worry, and muttered to herself.

“If this continues… it's over…”

“Kurisu.”

Just then, the screen of Makise Kurisu's phone suddenly lit up on its own. Amadeus's figure appeared on the screen, but unlike usual, her expression seemed to carry a bit of sadness and reluctance, but she forced a smile.

“I've had a lot of fun these past few days. Even though I'm just in a phone, I've felt for the first time that I'm really alive…”

“Amadeus… what are you saying…”

An ominous premonition weighed heavily in Makise Kurisu's heart.

“It's nothing…”

Saying this, Amadeus suddenly disappeared from the screen, as if she had passed through the phone, and appeared directly in front of Makise Kurisu.

“You're right, this is indeed not a solution, so…”

Before anyone could react, Amadeus's figure suddenly flashed and appeared outside the Overload Club's apartment building, in the distance on the street.

Then, as if she had made some kind of determination, she slowly opened her right hand, and a fragment of golden light appeared in the palm of her hand.

At this moment, the Holy Grail puppets who were originally attacking all stopped. All of their gazes simultaneously turned to Amadeus's position, or rather, to the Holy Grail fragment in her palm.

“Want it?”

Amadeus revealed a hint of a smile, giving Makise Kurisu a reassuring look. Then, the smile vanished, replaced by an expression of determination.

She slowly clenched her right hand, defiantly waving it at the hundreds of human puppets controlled by the Holy Grail, their faces twisted in agony, and said, word by word.

"Then come and try to kill me."

Chapter 551: A Desperate Plan, Amadeus's Heart

As she finished speaking, Amadeus spread her wings and flew into the sky.

The Holy Grail puppets, upon seeing her holding the fragment of the sin of Envy, reacted as if evil spirits had encountered a psychic. They couldn't resist their instinctive urge and immediately chased after Amadeus.

"Amadeus..."

Yui Yuigahama and the others, now out of combat, breathed a sigh of relief. However, they immediately felt a sense of heaviness in their hearts.

Amadeus actually possessed a fragment of the Holy Grail? And judging by the dazzling golden light emanating from it, it was a fragment representing one of the Seven Deadly Sins?

Moreover, she could break free from the so-called "electronic program" constraints and move freely?

The Hyperdimension Society members were completely unaware of these two things. Makise Kurisu was also in the dark. Originally, the Hyperdimension Society members had never fully trusted Amadeus. Influenced by Yozora's views, they all harbored a sense of vigilance, believing that those not of their kind were inherently different. Naturally, they wouldn't completely trust Amadeus.

But...

"Amadeus... diverted the attention of that group of Holy Grail puppets for us..."

Yui Yuigahama deactivated her Soul Materialization-formed clothing. After all, an hour of intense combat had consumed a significant amount of spiritual power. Saving even a little was beneficial.

"Everyone..."

Seeing the Holy Grail puppets lured away, finally providing a chance to catch their breath and rest, Yuria Misaki, responsible for logistical support, hurriedly ran out of the apartment building, holding a large box of cookies made with her Food Storage ability.

"Eat something to replenish your spiritual power."

"Thank you, Yuria."

Yukino Yukinoshita picked up a cookie and put it in her mouth, then lowered her voice with a hint of worry after eating it.

"It's... already past seven o'clock. More than an hour has passed since six o'clock, but why... is this phenomenon still continuing... Could it be that Yozora and Yato..."

"No, that can't be..."

Yui Yuigahama's voice trembled slightly, but she forced a smile and comforted them.

"Maybe... maybe they were delayed by something. That's possible..."

Although Yui Yuigahama said this, even she didn't believe her own words.

Since the sky had transformed into this state, it meant that Yozora and Yato must have found the location of the Holy Grail's main body. But after this phenomenon appeared, more than an hour had passed, and the sky and those who had lost their desires hadn't returned to normal. This time... was dragging on for too long...

Although the women didn't say anything, an extremely heavy possibility that they couldn't avoid appeared in everyone's minds.

Could it be... that the strongest exorcist in history... won't win this time?

... ...

Meanwhile, in Sapporo City.

"I have already said..."

Yaldabaoth, floating above the clouds, looked down at Yato and Yozora on the ground, and the surrounding ten kilometers, which had become a devastated wasteland, as if struck by a meteor. He spoke condescendingly.

"Mere humans, cease your futile struggles against a true god."

"Heh... heh... Mere humans, you say..."

Yato, kneeling on one knee on the ground, struggled to stand up, but a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Yato turned the tip of the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi sword upside down, supporting his body. He swayed as he stood up, looking at Yozora, who was standing not far in front of him with his back turned. Although his figure looked stable, the blood flowing from the sleeves of his black coat had been dripping onto the ground, forming a small, scarlet puddle. He slowly spoke.

"We... can we win this time..."

"We will win."

Yozora's voice carried his usual carefree smile, and he didn't turn around. Instead, he stared directly at Yaldabaoth in the clouds and repeated.

"We will win."

"Win? What will you use to win?"

The surface of Yaldabaoth's smooth metal body, even after such a long battle, didn't have a single scratch. The long blade of the Complete Body Susanoo had struck his body dozens, even hundreds, of times, but it seemed to have no effect at all, unable to cause any effective damage.

"I represent the will of all mankind. Next, I only need to obtain the Lust within you and the final Envy, and I will become the complete god, the god of dominion and creation, Yaldabaoth!!!"

"Heh heh..."

Yozora shook his head with a smile upon hearing this and slowly spoke.

"The god of dominion and creation? Interesting. But now you are going to challenge..."

"The strongest exorcist in history, Kyoto's number one ero-game player, the god of harems, the top scorer in Sakura Province's joint college entrance examination, the one who defeated Private Shuuchiin Academy... Cough, cough, cough..."

The sudden cough interrupted Yozora's incantation.

Seeing this scene, Yato's heart couldn't help but feel heavier.

In the past, when Yozora recited that long list of abstract titles, he only felt helpless and amused. But at this moment, he felt heartache and unwillingness.

When Yozora doesn't even have the strength to do his usual abstract routine...

The situation is serious.

"Forget it, I won't bother explaining too many titles to you, anyway, you wouldn't understand."

Yozora took out a pistol from his pocket, then pointed the muzzle at his temple, and then, without hesitation, pulled the trigger.

"Hyperdimension Society, assemble."

In the next second, Yaldabaoth saw more than a dozen tiny but unignorable figures appear on the ground.

"You bastard..."

After Rio Futaba appeared, she first took a look and saw that all the members with spiritual abilities, including Menma, Tamamo-no-Mae, Enmusubi-no-Kami, Hachishakusama, Kuchisake-onna, the Golden Goat Head, and the Slaughter Demon, were all standing together with her. The lineup was even more luxurious than the last time they destroyed the Holy Grail in another world.
