He's a crossover character in anime/manga, and basically just very despicable.

"—Prepare to die! Kurosaki Azami!!!"

Chapter 268 Calamity

"[Calamity] possesses a [will]...that is [my] will—!!!"

"—Prepare to die! Kurosaki Azami!!!"

The fall of her companions ignited her fighting spirit. Maria [Destiny] held her sword and staff crossed in a cross shape before her, her anger turning into a cruel laugh, her eyes filled with pure killing intent.

In the gloomy sky, lightning converged into a gigantic electric serpent, raging and poised to strike. Its length and width even surpassed several Yangtze Rivers as it surged and raced across the sky, eager to devour the demon that had descended from heaven and stood on the ground.

Then, it falls.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—

Like putting your hand into a red-hot iron pot, or even worse, the twisted lightning snake roared and pounced down, striking with a speed that no creature could react to, instantly engulfing Kurosaki Azami.

"Die, you monster!"

"Among the ranks of the heroes, a warrior who was watching the battle shouted excitedly."

Kurosaki Azami did not directly expel all the Heroic Spirits, which enraged the survivors who had watched their brothers and comrades perish.

Like a sketch erased by an eraser, failing to even touch the enemy's clothes, such a humiliating exit was an insult to one's comrades...

Seeing Kurosaki Azami suffer such a blow, the surviving Heroic Spirits could not suppress their joy.

"I was wrong............"

As the blue lightning dissipated, the Evil Emperor's expression remained calm. He still crossed his arms and looked up at the blue-haired, barefoot girl floating in the sky, but his tone revealed a hint of impatience—as if he were complaining, "Why haven't you killed this fly yet?"

"I shouldn't have felt pity and left this noisy audience behind... [King Crimson Beyond Heaven]."

Snapped.

With a snap of his fingers, the power of [Crimson King - Beyond Heaven] was like an invisible painter. The Noble Phantasms, martial arts, and magic of the Heroic Spirits all seemed like characters in a comic book, swaggering around, childish and laughable, utterly powerless against that eraser called [Beyond Heaven].

"If you all keep quiet, I might not take action..."

The star-shaped pattern formed by thorns shimmered on Kurosaki Azami's face, and her pure white cloak fluttered in the wind.

“Kurosaki Azami! You…”

Would humans care about an ant's "provocation"? Of course not.

But would humans change their direction just because there are ants ahead? Of course not!

With his arms outstretched and gazing up at the new moon, Kurosaki Azami looked ready to launch into a long speech.

"Everyone possesses their own talents... A king has his talents, a chef has his talents, and as the ruler, my only concern is placing people in the right positions."

And those "superfluous guys" have absolutely no purpose... like those annoying flies, or rather...

And you, fate.

"To arbitrarily determine the meaning of human life, to arbitrarily commit evil deeds against the world..."

Maria's anger was like a volcano about to erupt, an endless fury about to burst forth.

"Who gets to define this kind of meaning, this kind of order?!"

"Of course, I, [Azami Kurosaki], will make the decision."

Looking proudly at Maria, who was showing obvious shock before him, Kurosaki Azami burst into laughter.

"Schrödinger and Bucciarati both told me about what happened before... My lovely subordinates are truly fortunate to have been taken care of..."

Don't give me that "you actually care about your subordinates?" look. I'm not a coward who would act as a babysitter for my men...

Everyone in the Passionate Organization can die, but it must not be a meaningless death; it must be a death for my purpose... Just like I don't want to waste the lives of the Executive Department on that good-for-nothing, Sugiiwa Dosaki.

Did I just say that? This world is mine to enjoy alone. This world belongs only to the Passion Organization, only to me, Kurosaki Azami. That's what I mean.

"The purpose of this world, the meaning of this world, the order of this world—all will be determined by me, Kurosaki Azami!"

Mad and efficient, this Kurosaki Azami even made some of the more timid demons tremble—this was no longer an existence that could be categorized as one of the three realms of humans, gods, and demons, but rather a [monster].

A monster of desire.

"Kurosaki Azami...you are a monster who should not exist in this world..."

Maria's trembling pupils even showed a hint of fear, but it was quickly replaced by tangible rage.

"If we don't deal with you here, sooner or later, the entire multiverse will be devoured by your insatiable greed..."

The staff slashed down like a long sword. Maria didn't even chant; a blue aura gathered—but it was only an aura to the two combatants.

Then, in the blink of an eye, the airflow sucked up all the surrounding air, converging into a disaster powerful enough to destroy a country.

【hurricane】.

Human weather forecasts classify wind speeds from 0 to 12—but this is only a general classification; the actual wind speed classification is 18 levels.

In 2006, when Typhoon Saomai struck Fujian, the maximum gust of wind exceeding level 17 was measured at Hezhangyan in Fuding, with a staggering wind speed of 75.8 meters per second, close to 300 kilometers per hour. Its destructive power was no less than that of the Fuxing high-speed train speeding and crashing around.

If the hurricane released by Maria were measured, it would be at least a hundred levels high—it didn't move, it just stood upright on the battlefield, and the terrifying aftershocks made the surrounding demon lords tremble with fear, and they all put on defensive stances to resist it.

However, this situation quickly vanished—the hurricane's power concentrated into a single point, like the tip of a spear, hurtling towards Kurosaki Azami and engulfing him once more. The earth's crust was ripped up, and the scene around Kurosaki Azami was beyond description—the dust and debris flying everywhere...

"It's alright."

The hurricane vanished as if erased by an eraser, leaving not even a trace of smoke. Kurosaki Azami stood there with an utterly indifferent expression, silent, yet it was the most vicious mockery.

"From the very beginning, the epitaph told me what I was supposed to do..."

After evolving into [Beyond Heaven], Kurosaki Azami's original three major abilities, [Crimson King], [Epitaph], and [Crimson Royal Court], did not disappear. However, they were not used much because they were not very useful in fighting against fate—except for [Epitaph].

People often ask: In the battle between Risotto and Doppio, why did Diavolo only give Doppio an epitaph? What's the use of seeing the future but not being able to change it?

However, Azami Kurosaki believes that epitaphs are not about predicting the future, but rather about anchoring the future at a certain point.

For example, Risotto transformed into scissors inside Doppio's body. If Doppio hadn't foreseen this, he would have inevitably died from the scissors. However, after seeing the future where he would be stabbed by the scissors, he was prepared to be injured.

Moreover, since the future of being stabbed to death by scissors is not visible, it means that Doppio still has room to avoid his own death—this is the essence of the "Crimson King Epitaph".

"You were bound to use that move on me; this is proof that I have control over [fate]..."

"You beast..."

The timeline and the fate line have roughly the same meaning; in a sense, manipulating time is manipulating fate.

Like being thrown into the deep sea with the help of iron chains, darkness and fear crept into the heart of the [World Will].

“Kurosaki Azami......…”

Her teeth trembled with anger and an unwilling fear, and Maria's eyes hardened.

"Even if I die—I'll take you down with me!!!"

Chapter 269 [Kingdom of Heaven]

"Even if I die—I'll take you down with me!!!"

Hearing Maria's gritted teeth, Kurosaki Azami laughed indifferently.

"Use me as a scapegoat? With your already rotten body?"

"What pineapple, pineapple? You didn't even touch a single hair on my head... Waaah... What happened...?"

Maria's bare feet and calves could no longer support her body, and she fell to the ground in a duck-sitting position, her little hands supporting her head. Combined with the wicked grin of Azami Kurosaki in front of her, the scene looked like a perverted uncle plotting against a little girl.

"Unfortunately... at the same moment you unleashed those two attacks, [Crimson King - Beyond Heaven] had already struck you..."

This is the real deal, a genuine ability that can affect reality and destiny... even more powerful than the Crimson Royal Court, an ability I've always dreamed of.

Even if the opponent were this "world" itself, I would still be capable of defeating it... Hmm?!

Maria, who had just been teary-eyed, quickly stood up and assumed a fighting stance. Although her movements were still slightly slow, Kurosaki Azami could see that Maria had regained her fighting ability, and even the power left by [Crimson King: Beyond Heaven] on her was beginning to dissipate...

"Don't get too cocky, Kurosaki Azami... Do you really understand what the 'World Will' means?!"

Maria raised her staff and longsword once more, her anger almost tangible.

"I am [Destiny], I am [The Will of the World], and I am [The World Itself]!"

"Your power is indeed formidable; even I cannot completely eradicate it... This is why Lucifer has long been dissatisfied with me, yet has hesitated to make a move against me!"

The sword was raised high, and several bright lights flashed in the sky, like lamps.

"As long as this world doesn't perish, the injuries you inflict are just injuries! At worst, you'll recover completely in a few thousand years!!!"

"Hmph... So you mean, to kill you, we have to destroy the world too, is that it?"

Seeing Kurosaki Azami's surprised expression, this time it was Maria who burst into laughter.

"That's right... but are you willing to do it?!"

Your family is here, your subordinates are here, your friends are here, your business is here...

Most importantly, you're here!

Maria's face was beaming with joy, and she looked incredibly relaxed.

"You greedy bastard, would you abandon this world? Would you destroy it? Of course not! Everything you do is for the sake of domination and that so-called peace of mind!"

But someone like you can't possibly kill me...

This was a battle we were destined to win!

No matter how powerful you are, at most you'll perish together with me and everything you have... But as long as you don't do that, I will be your eternal nightmare!

This is your fate, which you cannot defy!

"It's really noisy!"

The unhurried expression on his face vanished, and Kurosaki Azami darted forward, delivering a few more blows to Maria.

Shoulders, head, back, legs, heart, aorta, spine.

"It's useless, it's useless. Even if you use that ability to [rewrite reality], it's only treating the symptoms, not the root cause..."

"I know... but who told you that the ability I used was [Beyond Heaven]?"

Startled by this, Maria hurriedly looked down to check her condition.
