A supporting character in a romance anime? I became a god using a rat talisman.

"The Space Dinosaur—Zetton!"

The final declaration sounded like the horn of doomsday, accompanied by an exciting background music that seemed to have its own background music.

At that moment, Asagiri Aya's vision was completely plunged into darkness—

..........

When Asagiri Aya's vision returned, she found herself standing on the street.

It's the same street, at the same time.

The setting sun still hangs in the sky, the evening breeze still blows gently, and everything seems unchanged.

The only difference is—

"A ghost, a ghost! Aaaaaahh ...

Heart-wrenching screams came from ahead.

Asagi Aya looked down and saw that the three thugs who had been so arrogant just moments before were now slumped on the ground, trembling as if they had been thrown into an ice cave.

Their faces were filled with extreme fear, their eyes were so wide they seemed about to pop out of their sockets, and they were uttering meaningless syllables.

what happened?

Why are they so afraid?

Asagiri Aya opened her mouth, completely bewildered, as if to say something.

"Cheddar"

A string of emotionless sounds burst from her mouth.

That was completely unlike the vocal cord vibrations that humans should have.

What the hell? !

Aya Asagiri was so frightened that she instinctively tried to cover her mouth, but when she raised her hand, she saw not her familiar palm, but a strange black and yellow hand.

"..."

Aya Asagiri's brain short-circuited for a full three seconds.

Then, she turned her head in a panic, her gaze falling on the glass window of a house next door.

A black and yellow carapace-like body.

The body is covered with strange, glowing organs.

And that hideous, terrifying face of a cosmic dinosaur, enough to give any normal human being nightmares for three days straight.

Asagiri Aya stared blankly at the terrifying reflection in the glass, her mind a complete blank.

I've turned into a monster.

I really have turned into a monster.

"Congratulations, Asagiri-kun."

A familiar voice came from behind me.

"Zetton" turned its huge head and saw that Qianyu was standing a few steps away.

"What...what's going on..."

"What happened?"

"As you can see, you have finally obtained the power you've always dreamed of. You are no longer a weakling at the mercy of others, but a predator standing at the top of the food chain."

Chiyu spoke as casually as if she were congratulating a friend on passing an exam, completely unaware that the monster in front of her was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

"You've become the invincible 'Space Dinosaur Zetton,' how does it feel?"

"Cheddar"

Jaden emitted a series of rapid electronic noises, his body language as frantic as a caged beast.

The gist of the translation is: "I don't want to be a monster! Turn me back to normal! !"

Qianyu watched her flustered appearance and silently planned her next move.

The girl probably now believes she has truly gained some kind of mysterious power, allowing her to switch between human and monster forms at will.

But actually?

That so-called "Zetton card" was nothing more than a plastic toy he bought for 500 yen from a certain anime merchandise store.

The entire transformation process was a fabrication orchestrated by him from beginning to end.

The first step was to use the Shadow Legion to pull Asagiri Aya into the shadows. That so-called "dark space" was actually the interior of the Shadow Kingdom's territory, a small dark room that was just right for transformation.

The second step was to secretly activate the combination of the Illusion Card and the Rat Talisman in that space. The Illusion Card provided the blueprint, and the Rat Talisman gave it life—with the combination of the two, a genuine Zetton with physical flesh and blood was thus created by his own hands.

The third step is to use the soul-swapping mechanism of the substitute card to transfer Asagiri Aya's soul into the body of that Zetton.

The fourth step is to push Asagiri Aya, who has completed her transformation, back to the ground from the shadows.

The entire process was completed seamlessly and perfectly.

The only problem is that all the power comes from Kazama Chiba from beginning to end.

Of course, Kazama Chiba himself cannot use it, because once he switches bodies and transforms into a monster, he will detach from his original body and lose control of the Clow Cards and the Rat Talisman.

So the task of turning into a monster has to be left to someone else.

The person who transforms is merely a trigger, a button that sends a transformation request.

In the future, if Aya Asagiri wants to transform, she only needs to use that substitute card to send a signal.

Qianyu will then receive a notification similar to a "system pop-up," and he will manually complete the entire process to remotely transfer the power.

In other words, Asagiri Aya's so-called "power" was in his hands from beginning to end.

But Chiyu had no intention of telling her the truth.

Because he understands human psychology all too well.

Only by making Asagiri Aya believe that this world-destroying power belongs to her, only with this confidence of "I am very powerful," can she truly tear off that cowardly shell and complete the psychological transformation of breaking out of her cocoon and becoming a butterfly.

The will is more important than strength.

That was true, at least initially.

Once she gets used to the feeling of having power, once she tastes the sweetness of revenge, once she is completely trapped in the illusion that "I am no longer the weakling who was once at the mercy of others," it will not be too late to tell her the truth then.

"Cheddar"

Jaden was still gesturing wildly, clearly not yet recovered from the shock of becoming a monster.

Qianyu sighed, stepped forward, and gently patted the huge monster's head twice.

"Calm down, Asagiri-kun."

He was coaxing a frightened kitten.

"The transformation is temporary; you will automatically transform back after a while."

Chapter 148 Three vs. Zetton

"The transformation state can only last for three minutes, after which it will automatically deactivate."

Qianyu held up three fingers and urged.

"So hurry up and settle your scores, whether it's revenge or grievance."

There's no such thing as a three-minute limit; he's just talking nonsense.

As long as there is enough magic power, you can keep hand-crafted puppets like Zetton running for as long as you want.

But he didn't have the time or the extra magic to spend the whole night with this girl.

"Three...three minutes...?"

Morning mist colors...

Now she should be called Zetton-chan. Her body trembled slightly, an outward expression of relief.

Thank goodness, I can turn back, so I don't have to live with this monster-like appearance for the rest of my life.

But then, another, more pressing problem arose.

"What are you standing there for? Go!"

Qianyu gestured with her lip toward the three thugs who were still trembling.

"But...but..."

"But what?! Get up there!"

Seeing her dawdling, Qianyu had no patience to play along with her mental preparation, so she kicked Jeton in the butt.

That kick used a clever technique.

The several-ton monster was kicked so hard that it staggered forward a few steps and fell directly into the encirclement of the three thugs.

"Ugh—!"

By the time Asagiri Aya managed to regain her balance, she was standing right in front of the three thugs.

The scene became very awkward.

The three thugs stared at the black monster that had appeared out of nowhere, and the monster stared back at them. They remained locked in this stalemate for a full three seconds.

The thug mustered his courage and glanced at the clumsy monster.

He discovered that this thing seemed... apart from being scary-looking, it wasn't aggressive at all? It was even trembling?

"Boss... this thing seems to be an idiot?"

The henchman next to him swallowed hard, tentatively picked up a brick, and smashed it hard on Jaden's leg.

"Clap."

The brick broke, but Jaden wasn't even scratched.

But Asagiri Aya seemed to have been hit by a bullet, and jumped back a big step while hugging her legs.
