Part 3

Hail, Shu-sama! Hail, Shu-sama!

The people spread out below.

The faces of the people were uniformly cheerful, rejoicing at the birth of their new savior.

..

Hearing the enthusiasm of the people, a man stretched his arms wide.

It was the Katana SaintShu Zakuren.

Immersed in the voices of the people, Shu opened his eyes softly.

Finally halfway, huh?

Shu was now working towards the complete annihilation of the Evil, with the goal of controlling all of humanity.

The Evil was the crystallization of the negative aspects of all living creatures in Argena.

Therefore, he wanted to create a world in which Evil would never be born by controlling and managing the emotions of humans, who were the main source of Evil.

However, there was no way that any country would accept such a plan.

Naturally, countries began to move to defeat Shu, but Shu and his followers had the mighty Divine Power, and any country that resisted them was defeated.

On top of that, he beheaded all the core people of the countries who opposed him.

Normally, those countries should have fallen into chaos, but they did not.

The soldiers to protect the people were replaced by Shus god soldiers, and the barren land was transformed into fertile land by the power of the gods.

This made the people accept Shu even in countries that had lost its core people.

To further win over the people, he also beheaded the leaders of other countries that were still ruled by bad governments and saved their people.

As a result, Shu was worshipped as a savior in half the countries of the world, and this worship also turned into Shus Divine Power, and he was steadily on his way to becoming a god.

How about that? This is happiness through the power of God.

..

(Kuh)

As Shu asked this question, he looked at Odis and Usagi.

The two were bound and placed in a rainbow-colored cage, unable to move.

Now, for heavens sake, prostrate yourselves before me.

(I refuse! The happiness you speak of is nothing but a lie!)

A lie? Do you still believe that when you see the faces of these people?

Saying this, Shu moved the rainbow cage so that they could see the faces of the people better.

And there they were, full of hope and smiling brightly.

Are you telling me this is all a lie?

Yes, thats right. This happiness is an illusion created by you. Binding peoples hearts, uniting their emotions There is no way they could approve of that!

Right, Shus purpose was to lead all of humanity to eradicate Evil.

The people gathered here had already been stripped of their emotions by Shus power and were no longer able to grieve or be angry.

They were just fanatics who rejoiced in the events before them and worshipped Shu.

This was the reality of the scene.

Whats wrong with that?

What?

But Shu continued without a trace of remorse.

Anger and sadness are unnecessary before happiness. Why cant you see that a world overflowing with joy is true happiness?

(Indeed, anger and sadness will make people unhappy. But they can also be a driving force for people to move forward! To take that away from people because of your own selfishness is absolutely unforgivable!)

I am allowed to do this. I am God, after all.

When Shu said this, an overwhelming amount of Divine Power poured out of his body.

As the aftermath of this power reached the people gathered under Shu, they were overcome with ecstasy.

Oh this is the power of God!

Shu-sama, Shu-samaaaaaaa!

The people were intoxicated with the power of God.

In front of them, Odis distorted his face.

This is no different from conquering the world. How is this different from the Evil?

Dont you dare mix me with them!

!

Shu raised his voice at Odis words.

They must They must not exist. They must all be exterminated.

Shus eyes were etched with deep hatred as he said this.

Katana Saint Shu Zakuren.

He was born in an ordinary family in a village.

But the village was always poor because the country fought senseless wars, and the greedy feudal lords imposed unjust taxes on them.

Yet, he was happy.

His father, his mother, his childhood friends.

To make everything right, I will become a god.

Thats what he swore.

From then on, Shus actions were swift.

He received the Divine Power and immediately went to the lord.

W-what are you?

A god.

Shu simply told him that and cut off the head of the frightened lord.

Then he went to the lords and nobles who were oppressing the rest of the people and wielded the blade of absolution again.

S-sto

Gyaaaaah!

S-save me!

You people have made too many mistakes.

Shu, not listening to their pleas for life, simply cut off their heads without hesitation.

The nobles, horrified by this situation, immediately tried to defeat Shu, but they were all turned back and purged one by one.

Thus, a storm of blood raged throughout the country.

We did it! Theyre dead!

Thanks to Shu-sama!

But despite the misery, the people rejoiced and worshipped Shu.

After all, my actions were right

As he realized his growing Divine power, Shu found righteousness in his actions.

I see if God rules and manages everything the world will be happy.

And as he came to this thought, he brought the Holy into his ranks one by one and set out to create his ideal world.

Recalling his past memories and regaining his composure, Shu turned back to Usagi and Odis.

If you say that my actions are delusional, then your actions are immature and half-baked, not even capable of being delusional. If you are not willing to change the current situation, then you are just a fool who is carried away by your role Dont talk about ideals in front of me.

(Kuh!)

Well, thats okay. I didnt expect you to be so stubborn. I also didnt know that you could use the power of a half-god like Divine Authority, even if its just an imitation. Otherwise, I could have shared my ideals with you.

What is sharing ideals? Its just brainwashing.

What choice do we have? For those who are too stupid to understand our ideals, we have no choice but

The moment he was about to say it.

Shu blinked at the distant sky.

Whips presence has disappeared?

It was because he noticed that the presence of Whips, who had moved to capture Iris, had vanished.

Nonsense Iris must have been wounded by now. And yet Whips, one of the gods, was defeated?

When he saw that Shu muttered this with a grim expression, Usagi smiled secretly when he guessed what was going on.

(Iris She was able to meet Yuuya safely.)

Usagi was convinced that Iris had been able to reach Yuuya.

But when he kept silent without anyone noticing, Shu put him under pressure.

Usagi. You know something, dont you?

(! Who knows.)

..

Shu stared at Usagi.

But soon, the pressure disappeared, and the rainbow cage with Usagi and Odis in it was lifted into the air.

We have lost Leo and then Whips. We cant afford any more losses.

Then he turned on his heel and.

Ill go.

And with that, he disappeared from the scene together with Usagi and Odis.

At that time, Shu began to make his move.

Kaori, who had been proposed to by Joshua, went to the chairmans office to discuss the matter with her father, Tsukasa.

Such a thing

When Tsukasa heard the details from Kaori, he was troubled.

What should I do now

And Kaori, the one who had been proposed to, also had a confused look on her face.

Let me ask you one thing, are you seriously not interested in marrying Joshua-sama?

No!

At Tsukasas words, Kaori panicked.

I see even I think that Kaori is not ready to get married yet.

Then

But the other person is a prince and also the first in line to the throne, Joshua-sama. If we are careless, it could lead to an international problem

No way!

Of course, I will refuse the offer but I wonder what will really happen

No matter how much they thought about it, they could not come up with an answer.
