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

After a brief silence, the crowd finally erupted in heart-wrenching screams.

The office workers who were just complaining about the perfect attendance bonus are now so engrossed in their work that they don't even bother to throw down their briefcases. They scramble and stumble into the terrified crowd, running frantically in the opposite direction.

Sakigawa High School is more than ten kilometers away from the CBD core area, but even so, the shock wave still made the entire campus tremble.

"Monster!!!"

"It's a monster, isn't it?! I see it!!!"

"Run! Get to the shelter!!!"

The students started scattering in all directions like headless flies. Some ran into the teaching buildings, some rushed out of the school gate, and some even collapsed to the ground and started making phone calls—

When Akane Shinjo saw the devastating monster, tens of meters tall, descend, she seemed somewhat surprised.

There really are monsters in this world!

"And isn't that Zoga? A Mach 15 flyer, destroyer of ancient civilizations, vanguard of the dark rulers…"

As a hardcore tokusatsu otaku, Shinjo Akane originally wanted to use her tokusatsu knowledge to explain the origins of this monster to Chiba.

When he turned around, he discovered that Chiyu and Asagiri Aya had vanished without a trace.

……

On the outskirts of Shenshui City, there is a scenic mountain viewing platform with a wide view.

This place, usually a favorite spot for couples to enjoy the night view, is now the perfect spectator seat to witness how the city is being ravaged.

The shadow beneath their feet wriggled, then seemed to spit out something, and Qianyu and the deathly pale-faced Chaowu Cai appeared out of thin air.

"vomit……"

As soon as she landed, Asagiri Aya leaned against a nearby pine tree and began to vomit.

The feeling of weightlessness as she moved at high speed in the shadow space was incredibly thrilling for her, a novice who had never experienced "Shadow Aviation" before.

"You have no manners, Asagiri-kun."

Qianyu stood on the edge of the cliff, hands in her pockets, expressionless as she looked down at the burning city below, a hint of solemnity in her eyes.

Since Zoga, a vanguard soldier, has come out, it means that something serious must have happened to R'lyeh.

Those who could accomplish this would either be human expeditions that recklessly entered the ruins, or Camilla who was secretly pushing things along.

Considering that woman's unwavering obsession over thirty million years and her morbid entanglement of love and hate, the latter is more likely.

But strangely, Zoga escaped, but what about Camilla? Darrambha? Hitler?

If those three dark giants also charge out, then things will be really serious.

With his current strength, he might be able to barely fight Camilla one-on-one, but against three opponents, he would definitely be easy prey.

Qianyu touched her chin.

"But since it's so quiet... it seems like something's holding it back for now?"

Based on his understanding of this yandere, if Camilla were truly free, she would have already stormed up to him by now, brandishing her light whip and asking him whether he wanted to be whipped to death or strangled.

Since there is no sign of any dark giants appearing, it means that Camilla and the others are most likely still trapped deep inside the ruins, but the seal has cracked, allowing some low-level familiars like Zoga to escape.

"There's still some buffer time."

Qianyu made a judgment in her mind.

Although this Zoga looks intimidating, it is ultimately just a minion of Gatanothor, and Tiga doesn't need to take action to deal with it.

"Um... Kazama-kun..."

Asagiri Aya finally recovered and looked up, just in time to see Zoga in the distance blasting away another overpass with a blast of light.

The firelight illuminated her pale face, making her voice sound like she was crying.

"Should we go to the shelter? That thing... it's beyond human strength to fight, isn't it?"

Asagiri Aya felt her legs were so weak she could barely stand.

Qianyu turned her head, as if she had heard a funny joke, and flicked her forehead.

"Why are you hiding? Isn't this a special newbie gift pack prepared especially for you?"

"Huh?" Aya Asagiri thought she had misheard, her mind not quite processing it for a moment. "A... a gift bag?"

Chiyu pointed to Zoga, who was spewing fireballs and demolishing buildings in the distance.

"That's right, this is an excellent opportunity for practical training. The opponent only uses basic attacks and fire breath, and doesn't have any complicated mechanics. It's perfect for testing you out."

"Since you just said I'm prepared, then let's do it now. This little monster in the newbie village is yours to handle."

Chapter 155 Gatanothor Cards!

Upon hearing this, Asagiri Aya's eyes widened in shock, and her whole body seemed to crack.

"No, no, no! Absolutely not! This is absolutely not allowed!"

"That's a monster! A monster tens of meters tall! Even if I turned into Zetton, I couldn't possibly defeat something like that! I... I couldn't even handle those thugs yesterday, no way! I really can't! I'll die!"

"Didn't you mean to say you're aware of your situation?"

Qianyu interrupted her rambling.

Asagiri Aya was choked and speechless.

She did come with a clear understanding. After returning home last night, she tossed and turned all night, finally making up her mind to accept this power, to become stronger, and to stop being a pushover who could only be bullied.

But that was before the monster invasion!

Who would have thought that he would have to go to the battlefield right after making his decision!

"Kazama-kun... could you give me a little time to think...?"

She tried to bargain, but her voice grew softer and softer.

"No."

Qianyu blocked her escape route, reached into her pocket with her right hand, and pulled out a bunch of cards.

"Here, draw a card and see how lucky you are."

Under Chiba's piercing gaze, which seemed to say "If you don't smoke, I'll throw you down to feed Zoga," Asagiri Aya couldn't help but ask.

"Why not use the Jetton card from yesterday?"

Qianyu waved her hand dismissively.

"I'm tired of seeing that Jaden picture; let's try something different today."

In any case, no matter which card Asagiri Aya chooses, her combat power will be equally weak.

He unfolded the pile of cards like a fan and handed it to Asagiri Aya.

"Trust your intuition. You're in great luck today and you're sure to draw a powerful character."

"really?"

Asagiri Aya looked at the pile of cards, hesitated for a long time, and finally closed her eyes and drew the middle card.

I opened it and took a look.

The card features a gigantic, nautilus-like monster with an inverted face.

The sense of oppression and evil aura that one could feel just by looking at the portrait was a hundred times stronger than that of Zoga in the distance.

Below the card are a few small, gold-embossed words: [The Evil God Gatanothor].

"An evil god...?"

Asagiri Aya swallowed hard. Although she didn't know exactly how strong this thing was, just looking at its name and illustration, it was clearly several levels higher than yesterday's Zetton.

Wow, not bad luck!

Qianyu clapped twice in an extremely exaggerated manner, her face full of admiration.

"As expected of you, Asagiri-kun. This is the ruler of darkness! Your luck today is absolutely phenomenal!"

"R-Really? I'm the luckiest person in the world?"

Asagiri Aya was stunned for a moment. Her brain, which had been shut down by fear, was actually fooled by this low-level flattery, and she even had a slight illusion that "maybe I can do it too".

However, she did not see it.

Just as Asagiri Aya was staring blankly at the cards, Chiba calmly stuffed the remaining large handful of cards, [Evil God Gatanothor], back into his pocket.

nonsense.

What could be more intimidating than summoning their leader to deal with grunts like Zoga?

"Okay, stop spacing out."

Qianyu clapped her hands, interrupting her self-indulgent sentimentality.

"Listen, Asagiri, the tactics are simple. I don't need you to go in for melee combat, nor do I need you to use any beam attacks."

"All you have to do is transform into Gatanothor, then use your boss's authority to walk over and yell at that Zoga to get lost, and that's it."

"A...a bloodless victory?" Asagi Aya's eyes widened. "It's...it's that simple? It'll obey me just by roaring at it? That's a monster! Will it listen to me?"

"Do not worry."

Qianyu patted her shoulder, looking very confident.

"Lower-level monsters have absolute obedience to higher-level monsters. It's like a junior employee meeting the chairman. Just by transforming and standing there, even if you do nothing, your aura alone can scare it so much that it wets its pants."

This isn't him lying; Zoga was Gatanothor's vanguard, basically just a hired hand.

Now that the boss has personally arrived, even if it's just a fake boss in disguise, the suppressive power in his blood is real.

“Is, is that so…”

Asagiri Aya still looked uneasy, her hands sweating as she gripped the cards.

Although it sounded reasonable, her survival instincts told her that things were definitely not that simple.

"But... what if it's a rebellious Zoga? What if it doesn't recognize me? What if it attacks me? I really can't do that!"

"There's no such thing as 'what if'!"
