Chapter 388: Three Legs Sent into Outer Space, the End of the Invincible

Should we say that Natsuki Subaru has a quick mind, or that he has a deep understanding of constellations, or that words became the key switch.

When Zun Zun said that the Archbishop of Greed's heart was not beating and the little king, Natsuki Subaru quickly understood the meaning of this sentence and confirmed it with Emilia.

"Amelia, whatever he heard while he held you captive, anything that concerned you, anything is fine."

"When he was arrested...he asked me if I was a virgin."

"I'm going to kill him, I'm definitely going to kill him!"

Asking such questions to an innocent girl was no different from a crime, especially to his beloved Emilia. Natsuki Subaru's feelings towards the Archbishop of Greed fell to the bottom in an instant.

"Also... he calls his wife by her number, and anyone who smiles will be killed. Those girls call him a little king... No, a little king."

"Little King!?"

Natsuki Subaru suddenly realized.

This word sounds like pure irony. The attitude of the Archbishop of Greed is not as cute as male chauvinism. Instead, he is a completely dictatorial and narrow-minded king, so it is understandable that he is called the little king.

However, the nickname of the little king had a different meaning to him.

That’s the name of the constellation!

The names of the Archbishops of Sin that he had seen - Regulus (Regulus), Sirius (Sirius), Capella (Capella), Alphard (Alphard), and Petelgeuse (Betelgeuse) - all corresponded to the names of constellations.

This thought had crossed my mind several times before, but I rejected it rationally every time.

After all, the world is different.

How can the constellations of another world be applied to this world?

However, the Mizu no Hagoromo Pavilion, Japanese-style buildings, and the Wasteland Hexin that Natsuki Subaru saw in Minato City made him realize that this kind of thing was not impossible. Maybe besides Natsuki Subaru, there were also people who left their marks in this world.

To say that this was just a coincidence is a stretch because there were so many coincidences.

The continuity of contingency is inevitability.

What Natsuki Subaru had previously been a barrier to his knowledge and perception. When this thin film was punctured by Zun Zun and this fact was confirmed, he immediately confirmed all his previous speculations.

Since the Archbishop of Greed also has a constellation representative, then Regulus, who represents Leo, has the word "little king" in his etymology. And Regulus also has the nickname "Cole Leonis", which means "lion's heart" in his etymology!

"That is, did you know this from the beginning, Zun Zun?"

"Eh? Ah, ah...I guess so."

Although he did know it from the beginning, the way it happened was not what Natsuki Subaru had imagined.

But it's quite interesting to see Natsuki Subaru's confused expression, so I won't explain it.

"Lion's Heart... The time of the flesh stops, so it won't change. Not changing means it won't get hurt, and it won't get wet. The time of the sand and water thrown out also stops, so it won't be blocked by the things it hits, but will pass through directly."

A supernatural power that is extremely familiar in comics, similar to the ability to break space.

It means exactly what it says.

The space itself is fractured, and any object it encounters, no matter how tough or strong, will be cut off.

The Archbishop of Greed, whose time has stopped, can be said to be the distortion of space itself.

If you stop the time of the sand, you will have the destructive power to break through all defenses; if you stop the time of the water, you will be able to walk freely on the water surface; if you stop your own time, you will naturally make all attacks invalid.

The strongest spear and shield, this power is just the application of power.

"To sum up, invincibility is ultimately just a byproduct of stopping time."

“…Subaru, you didn’t explain anything just now.”

"I learned it from you, Zun Zun."

——This child has learned bad things.

Zun Zun rolled his eyes at Natsuki Subaru with this look.

If you don’t learn good things, you will learn bad things.

"But you really went too far." Zun Zun looked at the Archbishop of Greed, who had rarely listened silently, "You actually did such a shameful thing."

"what!?"

His face, which had been restrained for a while, twisted again with astonishment.

"Isn't it? You keep saying how good you are to your wives and that you love them, but you force your heart on them. You trample on their hearts and bodies and treat them as slaves..."

"Shut up……"

"Isn't it? If you really regard them as your wives, then you would not have told them about this matter. Wouldn't it be true that you are a qualified husband if you deceived your wives?"

“Shut up… Shut up…”

"Not to mention, you didn't even give your wives the invincibility effect. You even ruthlessly abandoned them as soon as they got hurt or didn't please you, treating them as dispensable consumables. You are a completely selfish villain."

"I told you to shut up—"

The Archbishop of Greed twisted his face and yelled like a little child.

Zun Zun discovered from the beginning that the Archbishop of Greed enjoyed his invincibility, but his wives were no different from ordinary people.

If this invincibility cannot be increased, then what does it matter if the sand is raised and the water is stepped on?
It is true that there is no way to grant invincibility because the heart must beat, but at least Zun Zun has several ways to do it, such as transferring at regular intervals... and so on.

"But you can't do it, because you are a narrow-minded little king."

“Ahhhh————”

The angry roar and the random punches were like the attacks of a layman. Even the current Natsuki Subaru could easily defeat him.

"The invincible Archbishop of Greed..."

"This is reality. It's just like when a magic trick is revealed. There's nothing new about it."

"So most people enjoy the process of solving puzzles, but are bored by puzzles that are clear at a glance."

The Archbishop of Greed, who had lost his invincibility, went mad, but nothing could be changed.

When Zun Zun severed the connection between him and his wife, it became nothing more than impotent rage.

"But I still want to apologize."

As Zun Zun continued to beat the Bishop of Greed, his expression became unwilling, and he said, "In the end, there was still no way to break through head-on, and we had to use this opportunistic method."

——Fighting players always break through head-on.

This is what he said when he was traveling with Shimagi Yosuke, and it is also the creed he has always adhered to.

Although Zun Zun is not a loyal game player, the Red Demons have always fought with others in an upright manner! ...Except when fighting against the Demon King's army.

"Actually, I was planning to use the same trick I used against the Archbishop of Lust, but I don't think it will work."

If you stop your own time, your destiny will also stop. If you use it recklessly, you might end up dying.

"But to express my apology, I will send you off by endorsing the title of Invincible." "You are talking to yourself, I-Gah!"

Before the Archbishop of Greed could finish his words, he was kicked in the chin by Zun Zun and sent flying into the sky.

When he was hit hard, he activated the Lion's Heart, stopped the time of his own body and entered an invincible state. As a result, the kick had no effect on him, but -

"Ahem...!"

A groan came from deep in his throat due to severe pain, and the Archbishop of Greed's vision was dyed bright red.

When the little king is not activated, the effect of the lion's heart is limited to five seconds. If the physical time continues to be stopped, the heart may stop beating.

In addition, after the lion's heart is removed, the heart that had stopped beating will start to beat rapidly in one breath, and this pain cannot be avoided.

Pain and suffering.

It's a feeling I haven't felt in over a hundred years.

"What a joke!"

The hatred, so severe that it seemed to be vomiting blood, stretched out its tail and rushed straight into the night sky above. The flying body was defenseless and in the blink of an eye it reached a height that could overlook the entire city.

enough!

That's enough!

In that case, then treat everyone as an enemy! When I return to the ground and pick up the sand on the ground, they will be finished!

“——Guga!?”

A smile just appeared on the face of the Archbishop of Greed who was lost in fantasy, but the next second he couldn't smile anymore.

"I'm sorry, but I don't plan on letting you return to the surface."

"——!?"

When Archbishop Greed saw the person appearing next to him, he was so shocked that he lost his voice.

Where did he think this was?
The height was level with the clouds, and the person who pushed him up was him. How did he get here before me?
"This kind of thing is quite simple. We can do it by asking the immortal spirit for help."

“Monster…!”

"This word is really fresh, so I accepted it with gratitude."

Zun Zun was not angry at being called a monster. Instead, he smiled, but this smile was extremely dangerous.

The Archbishop of Greed's unawakened survival instinct spoke to his soul, a feeling he had never experienced in his hundreds of years as an Archbishop of Sin.

The instinct of death prompted him to activate the lion's heart.

Just as it was launched, the attack came.

He kicked him hard in the abdomen again, but the kick was enough to kill him, but because of the lion's heart, no harm was done. The whole person simply flew upwards again, flying into the air with great swiftness.

When the sunlight and night formed a clear division, the poor brain of the Greed Archbishop became stagnant.

Why……

It was clearly still daytime, or even noon, so why was there darkness above the sky?
It does not matter.

Think about it carefully. If you fall from such a high place, you will be dead.

Originally, I could stop the time when I touched an object, and naturally control my power so that my body would not destroy the object it touched.

But now that the connection with the little king has been severed, it is necessary to realize the lion's heart and then operate on it.

Therefore, it is difficult to interfere with things outside the physical body.

Speak humanly.

Just can't stop myself from rising and falling.

However, he had no time to think carefully. The Bishop of Greed, with alarm bells ringing in his heart, activated the Lion's Heart again, and then the third kick came again, kicking him hard into the night sky.

"——Goodbye, Invincible."

As Zun Zun said this, he relied on the reaction force to return to the ground and continued to descend, while the Archbishop of Greed rose again.

Not falling, but rising! ?

The Archbishop of Greed gradually lost his ability to think, and at the same time he was enveloped by an inexplicable feeling of weightlessness. He felt dizzy and lost his direction.

I forced myself to open my eyes, and then I saw an extremely beautiful, azure blue sphere.

Although the distance was quite far, he still saw some ant-like things crawling slowly on it, and water was constantly flowing through the sphere. The most important thing was a huge waterfall, blocking the other half from outside.

“This is… wuwuwu…”

breathe!

There's no way to breathe!
Is there something wrong with the power? No, the power can still be activated, and the lion heart is still working. But why can't I feel the gravity, and why has the air disappeared?

Your own breathing

Archbishop Greed opened his mouth wide, like a fish out of water, but he couldn't breathe in any air.

Unable to move in mid-air, all he could do was use his lion heart to protect his life.

While the lion's heart is activated, you can escape the pain of breathing difficulties, and the pain of physical destruction can only be relieved during this period.

However, the Lion Heart can only last for five seconds.

Feeling his heart reaching its limit, the fear of death pulled the Archbishop of Greed back into outer space.

This is an invitation to death that comes in turns.

I don't want to choose either side.

Both sides must be excluded.

But he had no plan to escape, no experience in escaping from the predicament, only complaints and dissatisfaction.

The lion's heart can be activated countless times, but breathing cannot be activated in this way. Moreover, it takes several seconds to activate the lion's heart again.

Death is approaching.

Switching between invincible and dying states every five seconds, death is approaching all the time.

The heart stops.

Suffocate to death.

The heart stops.

Suffocate to death.

The pain and suffering kept happening, making people think that they would last forever. Gradually, the Archbishop of Greed stopped thinking.
