Did the Heroic Spirit I conquered become a reality?

They invited her to give up her futile resistance, abandon her independent self, and merge into that blissful paradise called "Happy Heaven."

Each confrontation with her will made Koyanskaya feel as if her soul was about to be melted and absorbed.

Her composure, her elegance, her smile—all have vanished.

The exquisite school uniform she was wearing had become tattered and worn.

The hunter has become the prey.

After narrowly escaping the combined attack of the three goddesses once again, Koyanskaya was forced to the edge of this mental space, with nowhere left to retreat.

Tiamat's black mud sealed the earth, Kama's arrows of love locked the sky, and Sesshouin's Pure Land of Bliss was spiritually disintegrating her existence.

She was now in a hopeless situation.

"...I never expected this..."

Koyanskaya lowered her head and let out a whisper that sounded both self-mockery and filled with endless resentment.

"The power I have been accumulating until now is for the purpose of ruling over all inhuman beings and for taking revenge on humanity..."

She slowly raised her head, and in her beautiful eyes burned an unprecedented, frenzied flame.

"To think... it would bloom prematurely here in such an undignified way!"

She let out a sharp roar, no longer suppressing the power within her.

"Awooo!!!"

The next moment, an endless collection of resentment erupted from her body!

Her body began to undergo a drastic, inhuman "qualitative change".

The tattered student uniform was completely obliterated, replaced by a set of jet-black armor, resembling a queen's gown, with a metallic sheen.

Nine enormous tails, seemingly made of light and resentment and gleaming with an ominous luster, suddenly unfurled from behind her, each tail connected to the phantom of a powerful fantasy species at its end!

Her body grew taller and larger in the light, transforming her originally shapely and sexy figure into a near-perfect giant with a godlike aura of oppression.

Most importantly, the "aura" emanating from her has completely changed.

If she was previously a top-tier "candidate" who imitated "beasts".

At this moment, she is the one who reigns supreme, the true Beast IV.

Those open eyes no longer held any of Koyanskaya's cunning or allure, only the purest, coldest, most piercing killing intent and hatred towards human civilization.

—Beast IV, the playful beast.

Her voice became layered and majestic, echoing in the space.

"I never imagined... that I would be forced to this point by you 'seniors'."

"Now that I've revealed my true form, let's have a good time playing around!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Goyanskaya's magic erupted completely!

Without a doubt, this was a mythical, world-ending war.

The powers of the four "beasts" clashed in the most savage and fundamental way within this already crumbling mental space.

Tiamat's Black Mud Sea will pull all things back to their origin, Kama's Cosmic Love will alter all laws into "desire," Sesshouin's Pure Land of Bliss will "digest" and absorb all existence, and Koyanskaya's nine giant tails represent pure hatred and revenge against human civilization!

Concepts tear each other apart, and laws annihilate each other.

The entire space was transformed into a boiling chaos by the collision of these four world-creating and world-destroying forces.

However, in the midst of this chaotic battle, Koyanskaya suddenly discovered that no matter how she attacked, the attacks of the other three goddesses would intentionally or unintentionally create an absolute "safe zone" around Tohsaka Yu.

Their core power always revolves around that human boy who is the "Summoner"!

In an instant, Beast IV's cold, calculating mind found the key to breaking the deadlock.

Once we get rid of him, these three damned "seniors" will be forcibly deported, right?

"—Rather than getting entangled with you old-timers!"

Koyanskaya let out a sharp roar. Ignoring the arrow of love that Kama shot at her core, she used her three giant tails as a price to endure the blow that was enough to shatter the very concept!

Taking advantage of this opening, she traversed the entire battlefield as if by teleportation, and launched a surprise attack on Tohsaka Yu!

Her instinct and purpose as a "beast" is to exterminate all humans.

And this human who dared to push her to this point must be completely and ruthlessly eliminated as the top priority!

Yu Tohsaka's pupils contracted sharply. Facing the Beast IV, which was carrying overwhelming resentment and killing intent, he did not flinch in the slightest.

He poured all the magic power in his body into his hands!

"——Excalibur!"

Immediately afterwards, he drew the holy sword that guarded the planet once again, and facing the enormous beast's body, he swung it from bottom to top, unleashing a golden arc of light that was dazzling to the extreme!

In an instant, the dark divine power representing "revenge" and "hatred" collided violently with the planetary holy light representing "protection" and "hope"!

boom--! ! ! ! ! ! !

Time and space seemed to lose their meaning at this moment.

It was a scene of extreme splendor, like the end of the world.

Golden light and dark light eroded and annihilated each other, bursting forth with billions of dazzling beams of light that tore the entire mental space to pieces.

The violent energy storm even leaked through spatial rifts into the Great Library of Babylon, triggering a chain of alarms from countless defensive spells deep within this millennia-old temple of knowledge!

Yu Tohsaka, who was being swallowed by the light, suddenly realized that the surrounding scenery was changing rapidly!

The corridor of Goyanskaya's broken heart is like peeling wallpaper, falling piece by piece.

Instead, there was a vast, scorched earth filled with death and desolation.

The sky was a sickly, eerie color, a mixture of gray, black and dark red, as if it had been scorched by some incomprehensible force.

The air was filled with a strong, pungent smell of burning, as well as a unique, fishy odor that only comes from the mass death of living beings.

Yu Tohsaka struggled to his feet and looked around blankly.

He saw that the vast Siberian taiga had been razed to the ground.

Hundreds of millions of trees, radiating out from an unseen center, lay neatly and uniformly on the ground, their charred stumps silently pointing to the sky.

And among those fallen trees, on this desolate, scorched earth, he saw…

Countless animal carcasses.

Deer torn to pieces by the shockwave, black bears instantly carbonized by the high temperature, birds whose lives were taken by the intense light but remained in flight until their death... Thousands upon thousands of lives were wiped out indiscriminately by a sudden natural disaster on this land.

Yu Tohsaka slowly widened her eyes and looked around.

This is Tunguska, 1908.

Beast IV, the birthplace of Koyanskaya!

Volume 1: Chapter 147 I Subdued Koyanskaya!

Yu Tohsaka surveyed this desolate hell, the radiance of the holy sword seemingly mourning the countless lives lost on this land.

He suppressed his fighting spirit, and his gaze finally settled on the equally scarred and enormous beast shadow.

"Is this...your 'hometown'?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Goyanskaya's cold, beastly eyes; she seemed not to have expected him to ask that question.

She let out a soft, ambiguous hum that sounded like self-mockery.

“Hometown? No, this is a ‘birthing room’ and a ‘cemetery’,” she said slowly, her voice echoing with emptiness. “A tragic stage that witnessed the instantaneous erasure of billions of lives, thus giving birth to the existence of ‘me’.”

"The alien gods call you 'The Playful Beast.'" Tohsaka Yu's gaze swept over the charred animal carcasses, his eyes filled with incomprehension. "I can't reconcile this scene of carnage with the word 'playful.'"

"Hahaha... Hahahaha!"

Upon hearing this question, Koyanskaya suddenly burst into laughter, a laugh filled with endless sorrow and madness.

"Of course you can't understand! Because you're 'human'!"

She stretched out her enormous hand, covered in black armor, and pointed it at the scorched earth.

“Look at them, Yu Tohsaka. What are they in your human eyes? They are fur coats, steaks on the dinner table, pets locked in cages, ‘possessions’ that you can tease when you’re bored and discard when you’re tired of them!”

“You ‘love’ them, ‘play with’ them, put collars on them, and then, for some greater ‘experiment’ or simply because of an ‘accident,’ you discard them, along with their world, like garbage without hesitation!”

Her voice grew increasingly shrill, filled with a deep-seated resentment.

"I was born from the collective pain of their abandonment. I inherited their silent lament. Therefore, I also learned this lofty 'love' from you humans!"

She refocused her gaze on Tohsaka Yu, her eyes looking as if she were looking at an incredibly precious collectible that was about to be acquired.

"I also 'love' humans, and I will make you my 'possessions' and my dearest 'pets'."

“I will ‘cherish’ (play) you, put the most gorgeous collars on your heads, build the most beautiful cages, and then, when I feel I’m satisfied, I will take everything away from you as easily as crushing an ant.”

"You humans inflict 'love' upon all non-human life on this planet..."

A smile, both incredibly beautiful and utterly distorted, bloomed on her face.

"—Return them to yourselves intact."

“Now, do you understand? Tohsaka Yu. This is the true meaning of me, Beast IV, ‘The Playful Beast’.”

Yu Tohsaka fell silent.

He finally understood the suffocating sorrow and revenge behind this hatred called "playfulness".

“I understand.” He slowly raised the holy sword again, its golden light shining once more. “Your hatred stems from this. But…”

"I absolutely disagree with your approach."

“I don’t need your approval.” Koyanskaya sneered, her wounds completely healed, and her divine power even greater than before. “All I need is to hear your cries and wails.”

"Well then, our conversation is over, human."

"Let you be the first to experience what it's like to be my 'pet'! What an 'honor'!"

Her enormous beastly body, carrying the resentment of billions of living beings on the Tunguska land, transformed into a pitch-black torrent and rushed toward Tohsaka Yu!

This is her divine kingdom, and her power is boundless!

Yu Tohsaka's eyes narrowed as she pushed the Holy Sword's brilliance to its limit, facing head-on into the terrifying power that represented "revenge."

boom--! ! !

On this sorrowful land that witnessed the "mass extinction," a human and a beast engaged in the most intense and primal battle!

Every swing of Tohsaka Yu's sword was as dazzling as the sun, its golden light purifying the resentment on the earth and protecting the dignity of "human reason".

Each of Koyanskaya's attacks evoked cries of despair across the land. Charred bones became her claws and teeth, and the dead souls became her servants, all tearing madly toward the golden light.

However, at that moment, the space behind Yu Tohsaka shattered like a mirror.

Three figures, each radiating extreme divine power enough to make any being tremble, slowly stepped into this divine kingdom of death from behind the shattered space.

Tiamat, Kama, and Sesshouin Kiara were summoned by him using the "Anchor of the Primordial"!

"—?!"

Koyanskaya's movements suddenly froze.

"You... you actually managed to track me all the way here?!" she exclaimed in disbelief.

This is her birthplace, her inner world, which should conceptually be completely isolated from the outside world!

Without answering Koyanskaya, the situation instantly reversed.

It's no longer just Yu Tohsaka struggling alone, but a chaotic battle between four "beasts"!

Faced with the combined attack of three beings of the same level, even Koyanskaya, who had the advantage of terrain, gradually became no match for them.

On her massive beastly body, more and more wounds appeared, and the regeneration of her power could no longer keep up with the rate at which it was being worn away.

She stared intently at the four people surrounding her, her eyes filled with madness and resentment that seemed almost tangible.

"Koyanskaya, give up."

Yu Tohsaka spoke, looking at the "beast" born from tragedy, his voice tinged with complexity. "Your hatred was born here, but it shouldn't, and it shouldn't end here either."

Upon hearing his words, which seemed to carry a hint of "pity," Koyanskaya exploded like a powder keg, bursting into a sharp, maniacal laugh.
