"Why are you so angry? Because I killed that human?"
Charlie asked expressionlessly. Before anyone could answer, the monkey's gaze returned to the stalls filled with tempting food.
"Chicken, beef, pork, fish..."
After a few seconds of silence, the monkey-man asked thoughtfully, "I have a question for you. Why is it that only humans can't be killed for food?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.
The monkey-man continued, "You've killed so many animals to eat, so why are you angry because I killed one human?"
The scene fell silent again, everyone's minds blank.
A few seconds later, a figure walked up to the monkey-man and shouted, "He's right! What humans are doing is wrong!"
Everyone looked at the figure who had stepped forward. She was an unremarkable-looking girl, the type you'd lose in a crowd, but with a hint of cynicism in her demeanor.
"What is she talking about?"
Moeha was completely confused, 'Putting aside the monkey monster, was this woman crazy too?'
Not to mention whether she had read any books, if she could even speak human language, she wouldn't support this viewpoint.
"What is she talking about?"
At that moment, a figure walked up beside Moeha.
The third daughter of the Fujiwara Family turned her head and instantly became starry-eyed: "Nishikawa-Senpai!"
Besides Makoto, Nayuta, Megumi, Yu, and the others standing beside him also frowned as they looked at this bizarre pair in the middle of the crowd.
"Is it a mutant like the crab monster?"
Ran guessed.
"Then let's get rid of it. Ran, you do it?" Sonoko suggested.
Ran frowned slightly.
To be honest, she didn't want to.
This monkey-man was so disgusting. She was a close-combat Ninja, so she really didn't want to touch it.
"You can't touch him!"
The woman raised her hands high, standing in front of the monkey-man, and shouted with righteous indignation: "He's right! Humans shouldn't be so selfish. They should liberate all animals—"
Bang!
Before the woman could finish, Yu's hands beside Makoto had already transformed into machine guns, opening a hole in her stomach.
Yu said expressionlessly, "Don't dirty Senpai's ears."
Everyone, especially the former students of Shuchi'in Middle School, looked in shock at Yu's left hand, which had transformed into a machine gun.
'That was... the superpower Ishigami had awakened?'
Otomo Kyoko and other classmates who had once discriminated against or even bullied Yu turned pale with fright.
They had heard that Yu had latched onto Makoto.
But they never imagined Yu would actually awaken superpowers.
Thinking about what they had done to Ishigami, these third-year middle school brats trembled in fear.
'Ishigami wouldn't retaliate against us, would he?'
"Go ahead and eat."
Makoto said.
No sooner had he spoken than the teddy bear at his feet suddenly swelled to the size of a lion. It excitedly bit off the woman's upper body.
Then, from who knows where, gorilla, dolphin and rabbit with fanged mouths appeared, devouring the woman's corpse in seconds.
Kei, Moeha, and other young girls turned pale with fright. Fortunately, having witnessed Makoto's massacre in central Tokyo before, they had seen some things and didn't faint.
The four Animal Brothers in beast form surrounded Charlie, licking the remnants of human blood from their lips with bloodthirsty expressions.
"You were just saying, why is it that only humans can't be eaten, right?"
Makoto smirked, "Then let me tell you… there's nothing wrong with it. As long as you have the ability, come and eat me directly."
"After all, nature is just the law of the jungle."
Makoto couldn't be bothered to discuss sociology, anthropology, or other big principles with this creature. It wouldn't understand anyway.
"I find reasoning dull and boring. Let's just use violence."
With that, Makoto waved his hand, signaling Teddy Devil and the others to step back, then beckoned the monkey with his finger. "Come."
Feeling the pressure from the Animal Brothers behind him, Charlie clenched his fists, bared his fangs, let out a "Grawr," and charged at Makoto.
But the next second, he felt his body being lifted.
The Gorilla Devil behind him had reached out with his large hand, grabbing him in mid-air. With an "Ah", it bit down on Charlie's right leg, tearing it off like a chicken leg.
Makoto reached out to cover the eyes of Moeha beside him, watching the scene with a smile.
Splash!
Blood splattered.
Charlie screamed in agony, looking at Makoto with pain and anger: "Aaaaah! You! You!"
Makoto's smile remained as he tapped his temple. "What? You want to call me despicable? Then let me tell you, monkey, this is wisdom. This is human evolution."
"Alright, eat it."
At Makoto's command, Teddy Devil, Dolphin Devil, and Rabbit Devil reached out, tearing Charlie into six pieces, devouring him amidst his screams.
"I, I apologize, Nishikawa-sama. Due to our negligence in security at Totsuki, letting such a thing in has sullied your eyes."
Senzaemon stepped forward and said.
Makoto smiled slightly, unconcerned.
He hadn't expected this creature that had disgusted him so much in his previous life to appear here.
Killing it was a pleasant surprise.
If it were someone like Ito Makotou or Aki Tomoya, Makoto wouldn't mind letting them live longer to torture them to death.
But for something like this, he didn't want it to live another second.
Damn, even one more second of looking at it would shorten his life.
Makoto then looked at the fragrant snack stalls around him and asked, "Is everything ready?"
"Mm, mm!"
Soma, Kuga, and the others nodded.
Makoto glanced at the clock on the school building. "It's 8:57 now. Finish off the US by 9 o'clock, then come back for breakfast."
Hearing this, even those who had witnessed him annihilate two destroyers with his Complete Body Susanoo before were stunned speechless.
'You mean to say you're going to defeat the world's superpower in three minutes?'
'Damn, why don't you just say you're leading your men to the moon?'
As for Moeha, the third daughter of the Fujiwara Family, her eyes were practically sparkling.
Makoto's past exploits had already perfectly hit her dating preferences. Just now, covering her eyes to spare her from seeing the monkey-man being devoured raised his favorability even higher.
Now, his attitude of treating the United States like a mere nuisance seemed incredibly cool to her.
As if oblivious to the stunned stares around him, Makoto reached out and placed his hand on Yu's shoulder.
In an instant, both he and Ishigami vanished.
Everyone looked at each other, unsure where they had gone.
Then, Sonoko, Hina, and other players who hadn't gained superpowers took out their phones.
The surrounding students crowded around to see that they had entered a live stream.
Hirano Kouta, a military enthusiast, saw the stream title and exclaimed, "This is... Fort Bragg in the US! One of the largest military bases in the country, with over 260,000 stationed troops, airborne units, and operational command centers!"
As soon as Kota finished speaking, Makoto reappeared, this time placing his hand on Reze's cheek.
Reze looked at her man with adoring eyes.
They both vanished again.
Then, Sonoko's phone screen split in two. On the left was Yu, on the right was Reze.
Kouta also took out his phone and clicked on it, exclaiming again, "Fort Hood! The largest armored base for the US Army! It's the core training and deployment base for US armored forces and mechanized infantry!"
Immediately after, Makoto returned again.
Utaha, Megumi, the Aizono sisters, Beam, and others were sent off one by one.
Kota, like a commentator, named one US military base after another.
Finally, Makoto, with Nayuta, arrived at Liberty Island in Manhattan, New York. He sat down on the newly erected Statue of Liberty's head, opened his phone to watch the live streams, and said, "Two and a half minutes left. Everyone, do your best."
