Having traversed countless realms, can you possibly be as clever as me?

But these are all superficial. In Tsuruga's view, the most important thing is his connection with the world.

As Tsugumi said, he was the world's benefactor. In Tsugumi's view, this guy's connection with Ode Ragnar was so close that they were inseparable.

Still comparing him to the moon next door, he's practically a super-enhanced plus version of Ayaka Sajō, almost equivalent to the world itself. He can just ask the world for whatever he wants.

In other words—he is the only and strongest agent in this small world!

To him, the protection system that this world regards as the foundation of combat power is like an open card table; he can print out any card he wants.

With four minutes remaining, Subaru Natsuki's body simply couldn't unleash enough power. Although he had used the Wuwei Transformation to modify his body and soul and obtain a technique, in the event of a single death, Tsugumi could only directly inject the cursed power system across the world. It was certain that he couldn't defeat this overpowered opponent.

Of course, if more of him died, Tsurugi would be able to send in more forces.

Therefore, the sensible thing to do would be to make a quick getaway and use those four minutes to gather more valuable information.

But that's a useless way of thinking!

Looking at the world's darling before her, Tsugumi smiled with delight and formed hand seals without hesitation.

"Four minutes left. Let me see what the World's Chosen One is capable of before the reset—"

"Domain Deployment: Demon-Slaying Chef!"

......

Reinhard van Astreya should have been enjoying a peaceful and tranquil afternoon.

But today, he met someone unexpected who gave him a real boost.

While on his daily patrol, he happened to hear cries for help coming from an alley. When he rushed over, he found a young man being killed by three thugs.

Maintaining the security of the capital was his duty as a knight, so he was prepared to take direct action.

But the young man, who should have been dead, suddenly stood up and instantly killed the three thugs with a wind magic-like technique, then shouted out his hidden protective spell.

But that's not the key point; it's—

The dragon sword at his waist trembled, an unprecedented reaction, an uncontrollable and almost frantic reaction. What kind of opponent could produce such a reaction?

At the same time, Reinhard also heard the voice of his friend 'Ode'.

He hadn't been in contact with her since he returned the 'mind-controlling blessing' when he was a child, but this time she took the initiative to connect with him.

That urgent voice conveyed only one meaning!

Banish him! Banish this extremely dangerous fellow from this world!

Before he fully arrives, before she utterly and completely destroys this world!!!

Sweating profusely, Reinhard dared not delay, took a deep breath, and drew his dragon sword.

It just so happens to be here, in the very capital city he needs to protect with his life.

The next moment, as the other party chanted a strange incantation, an otherworld descended upon the capital city, covering almost half of the city!

Countless slashes that tore the world apart fell like a torrential rain.

PS: The plot of RE0 is written in a way that combines the love of Subaru with the help of his teammates to achieve a happy ending. Of course, the protagonist will not torture him, but rather the teammates who torture him after he is killed by his god-like teammates. This part is less long than Jujutsu.

900

619. [Re:0] Five minutes of hatred

The chosen one of this world is very strong, and the chosen one of this world is also very weak.

Having her own territory shattered, and seeing Reinhard charging towards her with his sword, Tsugumi lowered her hand, making this judgment.

To say he's strong is that even with Tsurugi's control, the domain he unleashed, equivalent to the power of 25 Sukuna-level spellcasters, was completely incapable of killing him.

Although his protection failed for a moment within his own domain, he quickly recovered.

Because he immediately received a blessing—that wherever he was located was within the world, he was protected by the world itself.

Damn it, printing cards directly is shameless.

As for how to deal with him, well, even if the Demon Void Wheel in his head is spinning like crazy, he still can't figure out a way to kill him.

Damn, his adaptation speed can't even keep up with the speed at which this guy was given the power, making him virtually invincible with the unconditional support of an entire world.

Faced with that dump truck-like fighting power, Tsurugi Tsurugi's body had already reached its limit after fighting him for more than three minutes.

And as it turns out, he really can't do anything about this cheater now.

The contract he signed with Subaru Natsuki was to control his body for five minutes; in other words, the things he could do during those five minutes were limited.

The reason for not directly modifying Subaru Natsuki's body is that granting him power is not difficult; the difficulty lies in how to avoid triggering a stress response in this small world. This requires Tsugumi to slowly explore the limits through repeated world rewinds.

After all, this is a small world that will restart immediately if it encounters a mortal soul that cannot be allocated!

Tsugumi didn't want to get stuck in an endless loop, so he only had a chance to go all out during the five-minute death loop, leaving a small backdoor in Subaru Natsuki's body.

Each of his deaths silently left a deep red mark on the Dongjiang River.

The sole purpose of this mark is to allow Tsurugi to directly bestow more power and authority from her true form.

It can be said that the more times he dies, the more power Tsugumi can mobilize, and the more he can do in five minutes—of course, there is no doubt that the more power he mobilizes, the more intense the reaction from the world will be.

Furthermore, through her encounter with the chosen one of this world, Tsugumi also confirmed many things.

Even if I control Subaru's body with the most basic power, there aren't many people in this world who can defeat him, except for Reinhard.

Of course, if he is willing to sign a new contract, Tsugumi can do even more.

But, since he is a sufficiently arrogant soul that is acknowledged, such things will likely have to happen gradually.

It doesn't matter; Tsurugi will be inside him, watching this arrogant savior's performance unfold.

"This is a parting gift."

Seeing Reinhard closing in, and knowing that time was running out, Tsugumi suddenly deactivated her domain.

The next moment, he raised one hand and said with pleasure.

"I hope that next time we fight, we can truly fight a battle—Extreme Battle: Burning City."

The next moment, all the magical power in his body was squeezed out at once, turning into a red fireball that was thousands of meters in size and kept expanding.

"stop!!!"

Realizing what he was about to do, Reinhard roared in anger, but had no choice but to halt his attack to stop the assault that was powerful enough to reduce the capital to ashes.

The man before her was indeed an unprecedentedly formidable foe.

Even with his own power, he was killed three times by that strange force. Although he was reborn and became even stronger thanks to the protection of the phoenix, he had to admit his skill.

Moreover, he has also discovered his greatest weakness.

"A knight among knights, a kin of the world, a born hero, so he is bound to fall for despicable tricks."

Seeing Reinhard turn to cut through her attack, Tsugumi tilted her head.

"However, I don't like using these despicable methods either, but since we can start over, it doesn't matter. Goodbye, and I hope you can abandon all formalities when we meet next time."

Time, reset to zero

The moment Tsugumi broke free of control, Subaru Natsuki's body died instantly, and then Return by Death was triggered.

The world is destroyed again and rebuilt again.

In the white room

"Hey hey hey, let's summarize the lessons learned from Natsuki Subaru's death this time!"

Tsugumi, dressed in a teacher's uniform, pointed a pointer at the blackboard and said with a smile.

"In short, he is arrogant, self-centered, unwilling to gather more information, and stubbornly insists on going down a certain path."

"Is this the Tiger Dojo...?" Subaru muttered obediently, sitting in front of the blackboard.

"Well, I can even build you a real tiger dojo," Tsugumi said with a smile, putting her hand down.

"I've actually been to Fuyuki City~~~"

900 >>

"So these memories of mine won't actually be preserved, right?" Subaru looked at the blackboard, then at Tsugumi, and asked tentatively.

"Of course, that's part of our contract," Tsugumi said with a smile.

—If you preserve it, why would you call upon yourself?

Although they haven't had much contact, Tsugumi has completely figured out Subaru Natsuki's psychology and emotional changes.

Even if he had only killed those three thugs, Tsuruga felt that if he had retained all his memories, Tsuruga would probably rather die than summon him again.

Ang was fully aware of this, which is why he was afraid.

He began to regret making such a hasty pact with a devil, but he knew that such regret was pointless.

If he weren't so weak and easily killed by three thugs, if he had power...

"Do you need power?" Tsugumi asked with interest, having seen through his thoughts.

"Perhaps you harbor the idea of ​​gaining extraordinary power in another world, but I must tell you that your limitations in talent mean you are destined to be unable to achieve anything of power in this other world."

“If you make a deal with me, the power I just witnessed is just one of many possibilities.” Tsugumi spread out her arms, listing many possibilities for him.

"Whether it's becoming a Heroic Spirit, possessing a Noble Phantasm, becoming a Kamen Rider, or transforming into an omnipotent demon..."

"I think I'll pass on it for now," Subaru said politely.

"Heh...you'll make a deal sooner or later." Tsugumi interlaced her fingers and put them to her lips, laughing.

"Well then, see you next time we call out~~~"

......

The seventh day after entering the Roswaal family mansion

A strong drowsiness washed over me like a tide, along with a chill that I couldn't get no matter how much I hugged and rubbed against myself.

Something was wrong, very wrong. Subaru realized what was happening, but he didn't know why.

Goosebumps rose on the skin beneath the sleeves of my tracksuit, and the chill emanating from within made me shiver uncontrollably. This was so strange. The world's climate was close to late spring, and sometimes there were sweltering days when you had to roll up your sleeves to get through them. But why was I so cold now that my teeth were chattering?
