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

Just then, an invisible wind blade swept through the forest.

Tsurugi casually shattered the wind blades, then cleaved the entire forest in two with a single wave of his hand. With immense force, he split the forest almost completely in two, revealing Ram's terrified eyes.

With a wave of her hand, Tsuruga grasped the pink-haired old woman in her grasp, and chuckled amidst her labored sobs.

"I've been annoyed with you two for a long time. To be honest, I don't see any of the so-called 'cuteness' in you at all."

"What tsundere, loyal dog, and all that other character types—honestly, I don't find anything about you cute at all!"

"All I see is a brainless mad dog and another stress monster that doesn't speak human language. Honestly, apart from this masochistic guy on the ground who's already soaked in the smell, I really can't see what your charm is."

"Let go...Onee-sama!" Rem overcame her indescribable fear and screamed as she rushed forward.

How courageous! But unfortunately, it was all for naught. With a casual flick of her finger, accompanied by the same excruciating pain as Subaru Natsuki's limbs exploding, her hands and feet were instantly separated in four different directions!

"Wow, this looks a bit R18+." Tsugumi said cruelly and gleefully, looking at Rem lying on the ground.

"But this is much easier than torturing that poor wretch. Letting you die is too good for you. Anyway, this time I can go all out and play around, starting with your mansion and your so-called master."

Having said that, they crossed space and returned to the front of Roswaal's mansion in the next moment.

Without uttering a single unnecessary word, Tsugumi raised her hand and set the entire mansion ablaze!

The raging flames instantly engulfed the entire house, and Ram screamed in agony as she watched the burning mansion.

"No, Lord Roswaal! No, you can't—"

"He's not dead, and this is just the beginning." Tsugumi casually created two crosses and tossed the sisters onto them, then looked at the clown magician who flew out and beckoned with her hand.

"You, yes, I couldn't fight you last time, now attack me right now, immediately."

"Before this world starts to self-destruct again due to intolerance, before my patience runs out like a receding tide, I pray that you will satisfy me."

"Before I completely decide to destroy this world!"

P.S.: Looking back at the first two seasons, it's clear that the "god-like teammates" aspect was handled flawlessly, especially Rem, who topped the popularity charts despite killing the protagonist twice. Add to that the fact that the entire i-Encore TV series revived in season four, and then look at Subaru in season three—he finally had a peaceful season but his popularity plummeted... It seems i-Encore isn't just a hobby for those who love to exploit others; it's probably also a collective choice for Re:Zero's bloodthirsty viewers (staring into the distance).

622. [Re:0] A Love Story Between a God and a Human

I've had enough of the red tape—no, I should say I'm fucking fed up with the way Natsuki Subaru is manipulated like a clown.

A real man should play ruthlessly.

That was fucking awesome!

Tsurugi did not allow his true form to descend, because as he said, if his true form were to descend, this small world would have to initiate a self-destructive stress response in an instant.

Even so, he has already cast his third character card—the Newtype—completely!

This character card contains elements of the Force, life modification, AT field, and chaos magic.

He rarely uses this character card; frankly, he uses the fourth character card's magnetic field power + spell much more frequently.

But now he's decided to try something new, since the result will be the same no matter what.

"This shouldn't be happening! Who are you?!"

Roswaal held a black-covered book, staring at Tsugumi in front of him, his face, hidden behind clown makeup, twisted with a dark and sinister expression.

"Who exactly are you? Why is there no record of you in the Book of Wisdom!"

"You talk too much nonsense!"

Without uttering a single word, Tsurugi instantly gathered countless strands of primal force in her hand and grabbed at him!

Roswaal's heart tightened, and he instantly accelerated to 100 kilometers per hour, barely dodging the attack that would have crushed him into mincemeat.

Immediately, a blizzard condensed into countless ice spears at Roswaal's fingertips, heading clearly towards Tsurugi.

Ding! ! !

These weak ice and snow crashed into his AT field and shattered instantly. Tsurugi didn't even look at him. With a casual clench of his hand, two lightsabers bound by the AT field appeared in the void.

Tsugumi instantly closed in on Roswaal, who spread his arms wide, and six-colored magic swirled around him.

Flames transform into whips, water condenses into blades, storms compress into projectiles, the earth rises into traps, darkness lurks in the shadows, and light makes him the master of the battlefield.

This is still due to the "magic blessing" he possesses, which allows him to freely use all six magical attributes, and also enables him to be able to fight against an army or even the four great elves by himself.

If given the time to set up magic, he could destroy a city or even wreak havoc on an entire continent, but—

In this world, being a mage is actually considered a 'lower profession'.

It inherits the Japanese mage system where 99% of spells are cast by the Shura barbarian, and under the 'Blessing' system of underlying logic in this world, the mage's potential is basically limited.

Moreover, their close combat ability as mages is as weak as the game system portrays. If warriors or other types of classes get close to them, they can only do their duty.

Tsugumi wielded two lightsabers, and guided by the Force, she moved like a butterfly through her elemental attacks, sometimes easily crushing any attacks that blocked her path with the Force.

Roswaal immediately tried to create distance, but the next second—

Tsugumi made a grasping motion in mid-air, and a powerful suction force instantly pulled Roswaal forward. He was startled, realizing that the Mana around him were no longer obeying his commands.

In a daze, he felt as if he had returned to the time when he faced the Melancholy Demon.

In the blink of an eye, Tsugumi's lightsaber severed Roswaal's hands. Roswaal knelt on the ground, cold sweat pouring down his face, yet he still managed to raise his head and grit his teeth.

"Are you the mysterious man? The Archbishop of Sin? Or the new Melancholy Demon? Or perhaps...?"

"Call me the King of Demons, the Clown!"

Tsurugi pressed down on his head with one hand, shattering his soul while absorbing all the memories and cognition in his mind.

Then he frowned. This guy was actually a master of possession—a guy who would use the technology of soul transfer to use the bodies of his direct descendants as his "vessels" in order to survive.

As for his identity, he claims to be a disciple of Echidna, the Witch of Greed from four hundred years ago. He possesses a so-called 'Book of Wisdom' that can predict parts of the future, and his sole purpose in life is to live with his teacher again as they once were. He is exceptionally persistent in his belief that realizing the future shown in the Book of Wisdom aligns with his goal...

Damn it, in short, it's an isekai version of Commander Ikari.

He had his eye on Subaru Natsuki as soon as he entered the mansion, because the Book of Wisdom had indicated his arrival. He then prepared a whole plan to carry out his i-TV, just to prove that he was capable of helping him see Echidna again.

What can I say? How much longer will the world be ruled by these 'Resurrect, my love' types of characters?

Oh right, to sum up his relationship with Ram, it's this: in order to realize the Book of Wisdom, he pretended to be the enemy of these two siblings, but in reality, he was just someone who wouldn't help them in their time of need. But the point is to make them hate him.

903 >>

However, the pink-haired girl over there is also an extraordinary person. Despite the hatred of her entire clan's annihilation and the oath she swore to her fellow countrymen, she still firmly fell in love with this guy...

"Damn it, how much longer will the world be ruled by you bunch of love-hate bastards who spend all day on love-hate relationships?"

Tsugumi cursed in exasperation, then crushed his soul with a backhand, before turning to look at Ram and Rem.

The two iAngTV anchors, bound to the cross, were almost bleeding to death. Rem looked at her wailing sister in pain, while Ram looked at Roswaal, who had been killed by Tsugumi, in despair.

"Yes, yes, that's the expression! Come on, smile!"

Tsugumi, who was already disgusted by these weirdos, immediately took a picture of them in a playful manner. Even the desperate expression on the beautiful girl's face could not arouse his pity in the slightest.

It's not that I dislike those two yawning guys that I find their expressions so funny and relaxing!

"Alright, that's enough. I'll send you to the Western Paradise. Highly recommend 'Traveling Through Heavens, Can You Be Smarter Than Me?'! Click http://"

Before the burning Roswaal mansion, Tsugumi gripped Rem's neck, preparing to end her life amidst her struggles and painful whimpers.

"Stop, stop..." a faint voice came.

Tsugumi lowered her eyes and looked at Natsuki Subaru, who was struggling to get up beside her. Seeing his pained expression, she tilted her head and said...

"Why? They tortured you to death! I imagine the interrogation before your death must have been unbearable for you."

"I know..." Natsuki Subaru gasped, his voice low and painful.

“But Rem and Ram aren’t bad people, they’re just… my problem.”

"You're truly a saint!" Tsurugi exclaimed without any derogatory meaning, then changed the subject.

“But—that’s what our contract is. Every time you die, I have the right to control the five minutes before you die. Not to mention now, I’m taking a rare stroll out.”

"Please!" Natsuki Subaru pleaded, bowing deeply before him.

Tsugumi gazed at him for a moment, the smile fading from her lips, and said softly.

"You're incredibly arrogant, Natsuki Subaru. Do you really believe you can be a savior who saves everyone?!"

"I never had that thought, I just..."

“You have, you always have.” Tsurue interrupted him, speaking coldly.

"You have another chance anyway. You think you can save everyone, including the girl who tortured you, right? So what difference does it make if I kill them? If you have another chance, you'll still consider yourself a savior who can save everything."

He paused, patted Subaru's face, and suddenly broke into a bright smile at Subaru's blank expression.

"Natsuki Subaru, you are truly the most arrogant human I have ever met!"

The next second, he ended Rem and Ram's lives, once again.

You are indeed an arrogant soul, but I will not obey your commands.

Natsuki Subaru knelt blankly in the sudden snowstorm. He was starting to not understand why Tsugumi was doing this, and what she meant by it.

In fact, Natsuki Subaru didn't dislike Tsugumi, because Tsugumi never truly hurt him from beginning to end.

On the contrary, he killed many people who had hurt him, even though it was not his wish, and Natsuki Subaru could sense the kindness that was contained in them.

Stunned, he failed to notice the enormous giant of light that appeared before him, as well as the evil old man who had spawned and was intent on destroying the world.

"You, could it be, love..." Natsuki Subaru murmured, thinking of a certain yandere witch.

"Shut up, Bull Demon!!!"

Tsurugi stomped down, ending the conversation that had given him goosebumps. Then, watching the red-haired guy who had been summoned by the world's clamor at the mere smell of the scent, he cursed in frustration for acting too quickly, and finally gave her the middle finger.

"Damn it, I didn't get a good fight this time. Next time, I'm going to give you a proper one!"

The feeling of being trampled to death is still vivid in my mind as I blink.

Natsuki Subaru looked at Tsugumi, who was staring at him warily. Before he could even speak, Tsugumi said with obvious disdain.
