Special Zone Settlement, Surpassing SSS Level! Underworld Resistance, Clear Sword Heart-All Selves Become One!

Uesugi Tetsu opened his eyes in a daze, and the familiar ceiling came into view.

The surroundings were quiet.

The cool, gentle morning sunlight that had just risen from the horizon slowly crept onto his face.
