Back in the Main God Space, he agreed to meet with the powerful Heart of Aerth team to discuss selling them the Poison Grenade manufacturing method.

• Orsaga entered Shi Tiankong's cockpit and ordered it to eat the world, and the giant mech flattened the hotel as it rose into the sky.

• Shi Tiankong unleashed Life Complement — Evolutionary Ladder, turning New York and then the entire planet into a blood-red field as life was assimilated into him.

• Orsaga took a seat beside a blonde girl and confirmed to the students that he was an exorcist.

Orsaga rode with Glint High School’s basketball team and cheerleading squad when a bone dart punctured their bus tire, leading him to suspect a connection to a grisly church massacre. He urged the coach to call the police while privately planning to follow them and deal with whatever remained.

• Orsaga chatted with the students, learned they were returning from a county league victory, and accepted a bottle of water from one of the girls.
• The school bus’s tire blew in Qisu County, and the driver and coaches found a sharp bone dart embedded in it.

• Head coach Axo told Orsaga he believed someone had deliberately thrown the unusually constructed dart into the tire.
• Orsaga recognized the dart’s spikes as human arm bones and suspected it had been enchanted or treated with a special substance.
• Orsaga agreed when Axo asked whether they should call the police, while privately plotting to follow them and kill the attacker.

• Orsaga found a bone dagger near the damaged tire as a student accused him of arranging the attack and demanded answers.
• Orsaga knocked down everyone who tried to confront him, and Axo apologized and assured him the passengers no longer suspected him.

After Orsaga reassured the stranded school group, the cheer captain received a warning in a dream from two dead people about the ancient Cannibal demon hunting them. She woke and told everyone that the creature fed on fear, leaving the bus passengers terrified as night fell.

• Axo told the group that the police had been reached and would come to inspect the situation.
• The cheer captain fell asleep and dreamed of two dead people warning her about the black-clad creature that had punctured their bus tire.

• The cheer captain woke and told the group that the Cannibal demon would return for them and could identify its prey by their fear.
• A male student mocked the cheer captain, but her serious warning frightened the others as the sun set and darkness fell.

• The Cannibal demon charged the officers, killed one, and endured their gunfire and a grenade despite losing much of its head and chest.
• After the officers spent much of their ammunition trying to suppress the regenerating demon, Orsaga asked the deputy bureau chief for a lighter and identified himself as an exorcist.
• Orsaga scattered pages from his handwritten Bible over the demon and set it alight with golden flames.
