"Did you hear that? Just now, it seemed like there was some strange sound."
"I did, I heard it..."
"It's not like that monster invasion in the port area some time ago, another monster appeared again, right?"
"I-I'm so scared..."
"I told you that the mist outside wasn't normal!"
"What should we do? Should we call the Police Department?"
"Call what! Call the Onmyōryō!"
The roar of the white whale pierced through the white mist and reached the ears of people. Logically, people cannot hear the sound of a whale, but the white whale only resembles a whale; in essence, it is a magical creature created by a witch.
The witch who created the Mist Whale was called Daphne, the Witch of Gluttony from the Re:Zero world. The reason for creating the Mist Whale was Daphne's concept of "a large body, more meat to feed more people."
Of course, besides providing food for more people, there was another idea behind the creation of the Mist Whale: to use the Mist Whale to control the excessively large population of humans and demi-humans.
As for that, Nakano Yu could only say that it was a waste of resources. If there is overpopulation, send them to him! He could raise them on the materialized Moon and they would still be useful!
Of course, this was only a joke. Nakano Yu was not that cruel.
Speaking of which, Mist Whale… If he did not see it wrong just now, that thing came out of the crack. Does that mean the white whale came from outside the world?
Thinking about it, Nakano Yu's expression became a bit strange. The power of witches is strong, but it is still somewhat weaker compared to the power of a Heretic God.
The power of witches comes from the Seven Deadly Sins, namely [Envy], [Greed], [Wrath], [Sloth], [Gluttony], [Pride], [Lust], [Vainglory], and [Melancholy].
However, [Melancholy] cannot be called a witch. The holder of the [Melancholy] 547 authority is a gentle young man, who is regarded as a witch only because of his feminine appearance.
Witches are the concretization of these nine deadly sins. Because of their painful experiences that correspond to the nine deadly sins, witches are the nine deadly sins, and the nine deadly sins are witches. They possess the corresponding authorities of these nine deadly sins, similar in nature to [Campione].
The power of witches in the Re:Zero world is terrifying, but in the end, it is limited by the world.
Because of that, Nakano Yu did not believe that witches possess the power to travel through countless worlds, or even to break world barriers.
If witches cannot do it, let alone their creations.
But why did the white whale appear here?
If today's situation happened by coincidence, Nakano Yu would not believe it. World bubbles are not billiard balls; where would so many collisions come from every day?!
And the crack that pulled in the white whale absolutely could not have formed by coincidence. If coincidence could do so much, this world would have long fallen into chaos!
"Oh, that white whale again."
At this moment, Nurarihyon also saw the white whale high in the sky. The white whale was the size of a sesame seed, but he was a yokai, so he could somewhat see it.
However, he did not think much of it. Thousands of years ago, when he saw that white whale, it also wandered high in the sky and soon disappeared, without any impact on the entire world.
"Go to the Police Department and have them evacuate the area of the white mist."
Narrowing his eyes at the white whale, Nakano Yu suddenly said.
"Alright."
Although he was curious why Nakano Yu was doing this, Nurarihyon did not ask further. He nodded slightly, and his figure dispersed into black mist.
Soon after Nurarihyon left, Nakano Yu looked at the white whale, his brows slightly furrowed.
"Is it coming for me? Or is there something here that attracts it?"
Nakano Yu murmured. He saw that after the white whale came out of the crack, it headed directly toward the Shinjuku district.
Nakano Yu was now very curious. He wondered why the white whale came and who sent it.
The young man did not take the Mist Whale seriously. The horror of the white whale lies in its Tomie-like nature, which is its ability to turn a single piece of flesh into a Mist Whale.
But this ability was useless in front of Nakano Yu. He had already dealt with Tomie's authority, Evil Disaster Contaminated Earth, some time ago, and Nakano Yu had never used it, because the ability of Evil Disaster Contaminated Earth was not very useful to him.
Summoning soldiers at the level of a Great Knight, Moon Authority can also do that, and the Moon God Envoy summoned by Moon Authority can achieve infinite resurrection, being an immortal existence, but Evil Disaster Contaminated Earth cannot, and those distortions do not look as pleasant as the Moon God Envoy.
"Well, I've been a bit bored these days, so I'll go relieve some boredom."
Shrugging, Nakano Yu stopped thinking about these things. He planned to go and see what was happening with the Mist Whale and also check the crack.
He wanted to know who had cut open that world barrier.
Gusting Wind and Raging Waves activated, Nakano Yu's figure rose, riding the strong wind and ascending into the sky, flying toward the white whale high above.
Soon after Nakano Yu left, the entire Police Department in the Shinjuku district was mobilized. Television stations also began broadcasting the dangers of the white mist, calling on residents to stay indoors as much as possible.
Nakano Yu's idea was to evacuate the public, but time was too urgent, and the area covered by the white mist was far more than just the Shinjuku district; a circle centered on the Shinjuku district was covered by the white mist. Evacuation would simply be impossible.
There was no other way, so the Police Department could only ask residents to stay indoors as much as possible. As for the explanation for the white mist outside, it was that there were yokai.
However, even if the Police Department said that, whether the public would listen was another matter.
After receiving the notice from the Police Department, scattered people went out into the streets, or peeked through windows, wanting to see what was happening. However, the white mist did not allow them to see anything, but even so, they waited and listened.
They wanted to see whether Nakano Yu, who had been elevated to the level of a god, was truly that powerful.
As for that, Tachibana Gen was also helpless. It is hard to persuade a spirit that wants to die. If they really want to die, Tachibana Gen could do nothing. He could not forcibly keep these people locked up, right?
And with Yu here, everything would be fine. After today's events end... he would ask Yu to save Fujimaru Chika.
Fujimaru Chika, she already...
As he thought about it, Tachibana Gen's eyes dimmed. The only person he could rely on now was Nakano Yu.
Nakano Yu was naturally not aware of the current situation in the Shinjuku district. At this moment, the young man was already high in the sky.
At this moment, the white whale was not far from Nakano Yu, and Nakano Yu was also observing the white whale up close.
The massive magical creature was far larger than Nakano Yu had imagined; its crimson eyes were even larger than his entire body.
The white whale continuously released white mist around its body, but that mist did not fall onto Tokyo; instead, it wrapped around the white whale.
But if that was the case, where did the mist in Tokyo come from?
Nakano Yu could not figure it out, but it was definitely related to the white whale.
"Uuu~~"
The white whale suddenly let out a long roar toward the sky and rushed toward Nakano Yu.
"It's coming straight at me."
Seeing the white whale flying toward him, Nakano Yu was slightly surprised. He thought the Mist Whale would actively avoid him, because animals are very strong in sensing danger.
But... can the Mist Whale even be considered an animal?
Nakano Yu thought, raising his hand to summon Joyeuse, looking at the white whale, and with a flash of his figure, rushed straight forward.
"Uuu~~"
Seeing Nakano Yu rushing toward it, the white whale let out a long roar toward the sky, and the mist around its body became thicker.
He saw a red glow flash in the beast's eyes, and the pink halo on its head flicker, as it rushed toward Nakano Yu with its curved, toy-like horn.
"Zzz!"
Nakano Yu also did not hesitate, raised Joyeuse and swung with a single strike.
With the humming of the sword, a sword light shot out from Joyeuse. That sword light was unstoppable, splitting the white whale in half with one strike.
"It's even weaker than I imagined."
Seeing the Mist Whale being split in half by his single strike, Nakano Yu pursed his lips.
It's not that he didn't know the Mist Whale had the ability to split, he just wanted to test the strength of the Mist Whale.
The white fur covering the Mist Whale provided it with decent resistance to physical and magical attacks. Knowing this, Nakano Yu used a bit of strength just now, but he did not expect the Mist Whale would not even be able to withstand that.
"Uuu~~"
The white whale, split in half by Nakano Yu, roared and recovered, turning into two giant white whales.
Looking at the white whales, Nakano Yu no longer had the patience to play with them. With such weak strength, Nakano Yu was really worried he might accidentally kill them with one strike.
Without thinking too much, Nakano Yu decisively used Evil Disaster Contaminated Earth, but this time, the crimson viscous liquid no longer burst out from beneath his feet; instead, it turned into several tentacles extending behind the young man.
The moment the tentacles appeared, they actively attacked the two Mist Whales, not giving them a chance to react. After wrapping around the Mist Whales, the viscous liquid spread in a single breath, enveloping both Mist Whales.
Soon, the Mist Whales were exiled into Magatsuhi under the influence of Evil Disaster Contaminated Earth, becoming pets of Nakano Yu.
However, after dealing with the Mist Whales, Nakano Yu's expression gradually darkened.
The young man looked at the crack high in the sky with a hostile expression. The eye in the crack, seeing that it had been discovered, blinked and then directly closed the world wall, and the crack nearly a hundred meters long disappeared just like that.
Retracting his gaze, Nakano Yu felt very uncomfortable.
Whose eye was that just now? What kind of existence can so easily tear apart and close the world wall?
Nakano Yu did not know, but he could feel that the other party was testing him.
As if he was the subject of that eye's research, and the Mist Whale was the tool used to test the growth of his power during this period.
As he thought about it, Nakano Yu's eyes flickered.
He had not felt pressure for a long time. Ever since Reina was revived, Nakano Yu felt that his sense of purpose had greatly decreased, and even his enthusiasm for killing Heretic Gods had significantly declined.
No, I must quickly improve my strength to deal with that eye outside this world.
He was not used to being observed like a pet.
Thinking of this, Nakano Yu did not return to Tokyo but instead flew toward Hokkaido.
The two Moon God Envoys who were collecting the Prometheus grimoire had already sent news: the Prometheus grimoire had been found, and now it was only a matter of waiting for it to be delivered to Nakano Yu tonight.
But there was no news about the sinner's stone nail.
He could no longer delay; he had to gather divine artifacts to personally summon the disobedient god Prometheus.
Tonight, killing a god!
