Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

In that place, the black matter was still coalescing into a human shape when a voice came from within: "I told you, you're too slow!"

The next second, the black substance scattered in all directions again, causing Shimizu Suzune's blade attack to miss its mark once more.

However, the matter did not end there.

The scattered black matter then transformed into black threads, and some of them turned into a pitch-black kunai.

The kunai formed right in front of Shimizu Suzune, an action that immediately put her on high alert.

However, it was still no use. The pitch-black kunai was as fast as light, piercing directly into Shimizu Suzune's abdomen, then flying out from her back and returning to its original form.

"Uh..." Shimizu Suzune, her face pale, clutched her pierced abdomen, unable to speak.

The kunai that flew back landed in the hands of the girl in the black dress. It turned out that the girl in the black dress had already returned to human form during that brief window of opportunity.

Simply piercing through Shimizu Suzune's body was not enough to satisfy the world's will, so she raised the kunai again and threw it out!

Perhaps because of the intense pain, Shimizu Suzune made no attempt to defend herself this time, and the kunai pierced right through her chest.

However, perhaps because her ribs were too strong, the kunai got stuck inside the girl's body after piercing through her back, unable to fly out.

"Hmph, nothing!"

Seeing that Kunai was unable to break free, the girl in the black dress flew over, grabbed Kunai, and then kicked the heavily injured divine messenger girl away.

This move of using leverage was very effective. As Shimizu Suzune was kicked away, the stuck kunai was successfully pulled out.

Shimizu Rinne fell backward several meters before stopping, finally collapsing at Araki Makoto's feet.

At this moment, Makoto Araki put Risa Ishikawa down. Since there was nowhere to sit nearby, he could only push her into the realm of gods to temporarily avoid the sharp edge of the world's will.

The girl in the black dress wanted to curse at Makoto Araki for successfully rescuing Risa Ishikawa, but she was helpless.

It's important to note that the person the world's will wants to criticize is not Makoto Araki, but Risa Ishikawa.

From the perspective of the world's will, what she wants is to win over Makoto Araki and gain his heart, and in the process, she can use any necessary means against him and those around him.

Of course, unless absolutely necessary, the world's will does not intend to harm Makoto Araki, nor does it intend to harm anyone else.

But sometimes, it's unavoidable.

After placing Ishikawa Risa into the realm of the gods, Araki Makoto straightened up. At that moment, he saw Shimizu Suzune fall over, and the white blade in her hand rolled over as well.

Upon seeing this, Makoto Araki initially wanted to pick her up as well, but then he thought that doing so seemed a bit inappropriate.

First of all, Makoto Araki is a god.

As a deity, he should be protected by divine messengers, just like a human emperor, instead of constantly running around protecting his messengers.

Secondly, Makoto Araki doesn't want to directly confront the world's will right now, so it's necessary for him to use Suzune Shimizu as a tool.

Seeing that Shimizu Rin had collapsed and was unable to get up, Araki Makoto said in a commanding tone, "Get up! Shimizu."

This statement is not just an order.

It also comes with divine power.

In order to defeat the will of the world, Makoto Araki has now directly shared 10% of the divine power he possesses with Suzune Shimizu.

After receiving divine power, Shimizu Suzune, who had been unconscious, immediately opened her eyes as if she had been resurrected.

Then, the visible injuries on her body disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her skin returned to its original state.

Then, Shimizu Suzune picked up the white blade that had fallen to the ground, and the blade subsequently shortened and turned into a longsword.

A holy sword.

……

……

Opposite the two, the girl in the black dress witnessed this scene and knew that the two had shared divine power.

However, the world's will has not yet figured out how they achieved this, nor does it know exactly how much divine power they shared.

who cares!

From the perspective of the world's will, the goal is to obtain that man, and if anyone tries to stand in their way, they can only kill her.

However, the world's will ultimately did not want to harm Makoto Araki, so it did not launch an attack on Suzune Shimizu, simply because it was worried about hurting the man it loved.

After getting up, Shimizu Rinne discovered that the World Will was simply standing there and had not launched an attack in her direction. She immediately understood why the enemy was not attacking.

Perhaps she's wary of her own divine power? Or is it out of mercy that she's refraining from attacking?

However, Shimizu Suzune had already received the blessing from the High God, and at the same time, she realized one thing—that she could not stand behind the High God!

That woman in the black dress, she's indifferent to the High God, isn't she? Then beat her up until she submits and speaks up on her own!

Shimizu Suzune held the Holy Sword in her hand. This Holy Sword was formed from 10% of the divine power of the Supreme God.

Its power is immense; it remains silent until it strikes, then astounds all! A single sword strike can cleave mountains and rivers! It is a divine weapon that can alter the terrain!

After obtaining all the information about the holy sword, Shimizu Suzune immediately raised it and slashed it towards the girl in the black dress.

"Boom—!!"

As the longsword fell, a crack appeared in the ground beneath Shimizu Suzune's feet, spreading towards the girl in the black dress.

Just like an earthquake, the earth trembled violently wherever the cracks reached!

"Hmph, what a little trick!"

Faced with the earth-shattering rift before him, the World Will merely snorted coldly and flew into the air.

However, before the girl in the black dress could even feel smug, she discovered that her vision had split in two, with her left eye looking to the left and her right eye looking to the right...

Because it happened so suddenly, the girl in the black dress didn't have time to figure out what was going on before both of her visions were obscured by the ground.

When it fell to the ground, the World Will realized that its body had been forcibly cleaved in two by the air!

This caused her internal organs and blood to gush out, and the amount of blood was frightening, directly staining the nearby land red.

On the opposite side of the world's will, both Shimizu Suzune and Araki Makoto were slightly surprised by the fact that she had been cut open.

They never imagined that this girl in the black dress, known as the World Will, was actually using a human body...

Moreover, it cut open with a single stroke.

She's too weak.

Or are we just too strong?

Shimizu Suzune turned her head somewhat flustered and glanced at Araki Makoto, only to find that he was also surprised.

That's fine.

At first, Shimizu Suzune thought she had made a huge mistake!

But now it seems this "trouble" is really quite significant. Could the World Will really be dead? No way, no way?

Makoto Araki also had similar concerns as Suzune Shimizu, but not many.

According to the "settings," the World Will should be the final boss of this world.

It is the main character's primary fighting force.

This means that it is impossible to defeat her with Shimizu Suzune's power alone. If Makoto Araki were the author of the novel, he would definitely not let a supporting character defeat the final boss.

Some might ask, "What if I were the author and I acted this way?" Well, she'd probably be prepared to face a barrage of criticism.

While the girl in the black dress was being cut in half and bleeding profusely, Shimizu Suzune and Araki Makoto did not intend to finish her off.

Firstly, the girl in the black dress was already a "body part," and the two of them didn't know how to treat the body part in a way that would be considered "finishing off."

It's already broken in two. If it can survive this, then it should be able to survive if it's cut into pieces, right?

Furthermore, the reason for not finishing off the enemy in time was that Shimizu Suzune's Holy Sword actually has a cooldown period.

To finish off an enemy, you need to get close.

That would make us vulnerable to a sneak attack.

She is now a "mage" who excels in ranged combat; in close combat, most of the Holy Sword's abilities are limited.

As for Makoto Araki...

He never directly participated in the war, nor did he "finish off" anyone. Moreover, he did not intend to directly destroy the world's will, but rather hoped to resolve the issue through dialogue.

The will of the world means the will of the world. If you try to eliminate the "physical body", you cannot eliminate the will of the world. That's why Makoto Araki prefers to "win people over with virtue".

Secondly, Shimizu Suzune and Araki Makoto are clearly part of the "protagonist group," and the protagonist group must be righteous and absolutely cannot be the ones to finish off the enemy.

……

……

In fact, whether Shimizu Suzune and Araki Makoto "finish the job" or not, it does not affect the world's will.

To reiterate, the world's will is the world's will, and as long as the real world doesn't collapse, it can theoretically be resurrected indefinitely.

Clearly, neither Suzune Shimizu nor Makoto Araki are capable of destroying this world—even if they could.

That's right, the World Will possesses the same lifespan as Makoto Araki, coexisting with the heavens and earth, and living in harmony with this world.

This is one of the reasons why the world's will is so bold as to directly provoke Makoto Araki.

However, the World Will did not understand Makoto Araki, did not know his background, and did not know that he was also immortal.

That said, the body of the World Will, namely the girl in the black dress, showed no signs of "resurrection" after being cut in half by the artifact.

Instead, it lay there as if it were truly dead, its body's cells appearing completely lifeless.

Time ticks by.

Suzune Shimizu and Makoto Araki are currently on alert to prevent the girl in the black dress from suddenly reviving and launching a surprise attack.

However, five minutes passed, and the girl in the black dress's body parts still showed no reaction, remaining completely still.

"Is she really dead?" Shimizu Suzune couldn't help but ask, she didn't want to be on edge anymore.

Makoto Araki shook his head and answered Suzune Shimizu's question: "I don't know. He shouldn't be dead yet, right? After all, how could the will of the world die so easily?"

Upon hearing this, Shimizu Rin nodded: "Then we still can't let our guard down."

To prevent being ambushed, not everyone could look ahead, so Makoto Araki turned around and began to survey the surrounding environment.
