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

A violent super-vibration wave exploded along the giant horn.

A dark red energy wave rippled out, instantly piercing through Qiangbo Wang's massive body.

Without a scream, the cobbled-together ultimate monster disintegrated cleanly into countless particles of light under the intense energy surge.

The enormous creature was sent to its demise in an instant.

King Qiangbo's master's knees buckled, and he knelt heavily on the ruins, watching helplessly as his dream of ruling the world vanished with the wind.

On the open ground, Gomora shook the dust off its head and returned to Hachiman Hikigaya's hand as a card.

Hachiman didn't look at his devastated opponent; instead, he bent down, picked up the card that had completely lost its luster from the ground, and stuffed it into his pocket.

Chapter 275 The Final Battle!

After successfully defeating the formidable enemy,

The nerve that had been taut in Hachiman Hikigaya's mind for seven whole days finally relaxed a little bit.

He exhaled a long breath, feeling a burning pain in his lungs from dehydration.

"it's over……"

Hachiman reached into his coat pocket, intending to take out his card case and retrieve this hardworking ancient monster.

Even with the golden glow of a cheat code in online games, like in card games, Gomora's stamina cannot be infinitely depleted.

However, at that moment...

"Whoosh!"

Several massive fireballs, blazing hot and almost white, suddenly burst through the air from the shadow of the lumps of ruins on the left.

The whooshing sound was so close, so fast that Hachiman didn't even have time to yell "Holy crap!"

The brain was still in a slightly malfunctioning state due to days of sleep deprivation and high pressure, and had no time to respond to this sudden situation.

But just because people didn't react doesn't mean the monster didn't exist.

There was no need for Hachiman to give any verbal instructions. Gomora's combat instincts, honed through countless trials and tribulations on the brink of life and death, allowed its body to react even before its master's mind.

With a deep, muffled roar, Gomora's massive body suddenly slid to the side, its thick tail, strong enough to easily snap an overpass, whistling through the air like a giant meat shield, and swung fiercely into the air!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A series of muffled explosions erupted more than ten meters above Hachiman's head, and scorching blasts of air mixed with debris rushed directly toward him.

He instinctively raised his arm to shield his face, but was forced back two steps by the force of the impact.

As the aftershocks of the explosion subsided, Hachiman lowered his arm, and the lingering drowsiness in his dead fish eyes was instantly cleared away by horror.

Following the direction from which the fireball came, a ferocious, stitched-together behemoth slowly emerged from the shattered ruins of a building.

Its body covered in rough scales, its sharp scythe-like horn on its head, and its gaping maw that seemed capable of devouring everything—Hachiman would never forget these sights in his life.

Tyrant, the tyrant monster.

On Tyrant's shoulder, covered in bone spurs, stood a boy wearing a black school uniform jacket.

Even if Hachiman were reduced to ashes, he would still recognize that face.

This was the same guy who, seven days ago, had controlled this tyrant to unilaterally crush King Elek and almost trampled him along with his self-esteem—Yu Otosaka.

When Yuu Otosaka realized that his final opponent, standing on the other side of the ruins and blocking his way, was none other than Hachiman Hikigaya, he was slightly taken aback.

A hint of undisguised surprise flashed in his eyes, and he even frowned before speaking bluntly.

"That really surprised me."

Yuu Otosaka jumped from Tyrant's shoulder onto a protruding stone slab, his hands in his pockets, his voice filled with an absurd disbelief.

"I was wondering which monster would be standing in front of me in the end, since this free-for-all is almost over... Turns out, it was you?"

Hachiman dusted off the dust on his sleeves and didn't argue.

He knew how pathetic he was back then, and he never wanted to recall that memory for the rest of his life.

However, at this point, Yuu Otosaka seemed to have long lost the leisurely and sarcastic manner he displayed on the first day, slowly manipulating his prey.

His current state is like a bowstring stretched to its limit, about to snap at any moment.

"Whatever, I don't care who you are." Yuu Otosaka interrupted himself impatiently, cracking his knuckles and his eyes turning cold again. "It's the last match, stop dawdling. Hurry up and bring your monster over, I'm in a rush."

Hearing these cheesy lines, which sound like the final boss lines in a game, Hachiman Hikigaya, who has been struggling on the edge of life and death until now, felt a deep sense of exhaustion.

He stood there, patting the scorched earth off his trousers.

"You really are an incurable hothead..."

"But even if you're in a hurry to die, I still have to make things clear."

"Do you think that as long as you win the championship, you can get everything you want?"

Hachiman stared at him and directly revealed the hidden truth.

"Wake up, Otosaka, this battle royale is a hoax from beginning to end."

Hachiman pointed to the eerie, rainbow-colored sky above:

"Don't you understand? This so-called infighting, this bullshit monster brawl, is a complete hoax from beginning to end. It's utterly meaningless. All of us—you, me, and that guy who just died and went back—are nothing more than puppets manipulated at will by the dark ruler hidden behind the scenes."

He paused, then emphasized, "As long as that guy doesn't fall, this absurd fight will never end. Even if you beat me, what awaits you at the finish line won't be a reward, but a dead end!"

Hachiman had said these words to several of his opponents before, and each time he was met with ridicule.

This time, Yuu Otosaka did not laugh.

But the expression on his face was even more chilling than mockery.

He stared at Hachiman, his chest heaving violently, then suddenly raised his voice and roared, "So what?!"

Hachiman paused for a moment.

"So what! So what if it's a hoax! So what if it's a conspiracy!" Yuu Otosaka's eyes instantly reddened, and he roared like a wild beast driven to the brink of despair, "Ayumi is dead! My sister is dead! She died in that damned accident caused by the monster!"

He suddenly grabbed his collar, his knuckles turning white from the force: "The Mefilas aliens promised me! As long as I can win first place, as long as I stand at the end, they will have a way to revive Bu Wei! This is my only hope!"

Otosaka, panting heavily, pointed at Hachiman's nose: "So, even knowing that the promise I made was a shocking conspiracy that would lead to utter ruin... for the sake of Ayumu's return, I must, and will, clear all obstacles and take first place!"

"Do you understand? So now you either get out of my way—or die!"

crazy.

Looking at Yuu Otosaka, who had completely abandoned all rationality for the sake of his sister, Hachiman Hikigaya sighed deeply in his heart.

The dead coming back to life? This kind of nonsense, which defies the laws of physics and common sense, is something this smart guy would never believe even punctuation marks normally.

But when that string called "obsession" is stretched taut, a person can really go insane.

Hachiman knew all too well that no amount of reasoning in this world could wake someone who was desperately pretending to be asleep because of their obsession.

You try to reason with him, he talks about family ties.

We want to stop this tragic event from continuing.

Only fists can settle things.

"Then there's nothing we can do."

Since further discussion was pointless, Hachiman Hikigaya stopped arguing.

"Gomora, go!"

Having received its master's permission, the ancient monster, which was also seething with anger, let out a deafening roar!

It showed no fear when facing a powerful enemy; with its thick lower limbs, it pushed off the ground and rammed straight forward like a heavy main battle tank.

"Tyrant! Tear it apart!" Yuu Otosaka roared simultaneously.

The two enormous creatures collided with a deafening roar in the center of the ruins.

There were no fancy light battles, only the purest and bloodiest hand-to-hand combat.

Tyrant swung his scythe-like right claw, slamming it down onto Gomora's carapace, sending a trail of blinding sparks flying.

Gomora, using the momentum of its forward charge, pressed its massive horns against Tyrant's abdomen, attempting to flip him over.

The dull thuds of impact, the scraping of claws against scales, and the creaking of the earth breaking under the weight instantly filled the entire alternate dimension.

Although the opponent standing opposite is Tyrant, whose stats on paper are frighteningly high.

But Gomora, who possesses the Fighting Card, is also incredibly powerful in combat. Its movements are now as agile as an old rogue who has practiced Sanda for over a decade, and it is by no means a pushover.

Both sides exchanged blows with ferocious force, neither giving an inch. The dust and stones they kicked up even obscured their vision, making the battle extremely tense from the very first second.

Gomora's thick tail swept across the ground, kicking up a cloud of gravel.

It lowered its center of gravity, its huge crescent-shaped horn pointing forward, and a deep, muffled growl rolled from its throat.

Fifty meters away, Tyrant's every step caused the ground to tremble slightly.

Tyrant made the first move.

Its left arm's scythe-like tentacle suddenly lashed out, extending like a rattling chain, its blade tearing through the air towards Gomora's neck. Gomora dodged to the side, the scythe grazing its head.

Without pausing for a moment, Gomora charged forward with all four legs like an enraged rhinoceros, its horn slamming solidly into Tyrant's abdomen.

A dull, loud bang.

Tyrant's massive body was lifted off the ground, sliding backward for more than ten meters, carving two deep furrows. But its Bemstein absorption organs on its abdomen instantly began to writhe, the diamond-shaped flaps of skin rolling over to absorb the impact. Then, an even stronger reaction force bounced back, causing Gomora to stagger back several steps, its forelimbs going numb.

Before the dust had settled, Tyrant's massive steel hammer on its right arm had already swung down, aiming a powerful blow at Gomora's head. Gomora had no time to dodge and could only swing its head to take the blow with its horn. The deafening clang of metal against bone echoed through the ruins, sparks flying. A sharp pain shot through Gomora's horn; it roared and simultaneously lashed out with its long tail, whipping Tyrant's kneecap.

Crack—the joint formed by Red King's leg made a crisp sound, Tyrant's huge body swayed, and he suddenly knelt on one knee.

But it felt no pain. As it knelt, the five-pointed star-shaped organ in Tyrant's abdomen suddenly glowed, and intense flames erupted like a torrent, instantly engulfing Gomora. A pillar of orange-red fire shot up dozens of meters high, the surrounding steel bars began to melt, and bubbles appeared on the asphalt road.

Gomora roared in agony amidst the flames, its skin charred and cracked. Instead of retreating, it charged forward through the fire, each step shattering the ground, its head pressing firmly against Tyrant's abdomen, pushing and crushing the creature's body as it went.

Tyrant struggled to his feet, wildly swinging his scythe on his left arm, tearing a deep, bone-revealing wound into Gomora's back.

Gomora roared and shook its head, its horn sweeping across and finally piercing the edge of the pentagram core on Tyrant's chest. With a forceful flick, a stream of viscous energy spurted out, and Tyrant's entire body twitched simultaneously.
