I, Izayoi Sakamaki, Joined the Chat Group at the Start

Izayoi Sakamaki: "...Don't listen to their nonsense. How could humans possibly fly? I can't fly either."

Thinking of the methods he had figured out on his own, Izayoi nodded with certainty. He really could not fly; he merely ran a little faster.

Well, close to the speed of light. Just a little.

However, Izayoi's words were met with deep skepticism from the group, and everyone immediately began questioning him.

Tony: "Boss, you're being too modest. How could someone capable of blowing up planets not be able to fly? Are you going to stand on Earth and fight Mars?"

Tsunade: "I don't know how strong the administrator is, but if you say you can't do it, I definitely won't believe you."

Minamiya Natsuki: "Isn't flying a very simple thing? You can easily float with magic power, can't you?"

Kurogane Ikki: "Am I the only one who thinks not being able to fly is normal?"

Tony/Tsunade/Minamiya Natsuki/Hawkeye: "Shut up!"

Kurogane Ikki: "...Uh... Fine. I'm going to train."

Izayoi Sakamaki: "Your ideas are really strange. Isn't it normal for humans not to fly? When I traveled through space, I ran through the void. That doesn't count as flying."

Ding, group member Tsunade had gone offline.

Ding, group member Tony had gone offline.

Ding, group member Hawkeye had gone offline.

Watching the group members gradually go offline, Izayoi smiled without paying it much mind. He exited the Chat Group as well.

"Now then, I've obtained Organizer Authority, but where exactly is the Perseus Community?"

After chatting with the group, Izayoi turned his thoughts to the important matter. As long as he wiped out the Perseus Community with lightning speed, then let some unimportant people go, even Thousand Eyes would be powerless to do anything.

As for Gifts capable of prophecy and deduction used by Thousand Eyes, they would be useless as well. His body, which was immune to all laws, was no joke.

But...

Izayoi bit his lip.

"I also need to figure out where Perseus's treasury is. I can't let such a perfect chance to rob the rich and help the poor slip away."

Thinking of this, Izayoi wondered whether he should go to the Thousand Eyes Branch right now and ask White Night Yaksha directly.

However, he quickly abandoned that thought, because footsteps sounded outside his door. Hisato Asuka and the others had probably pieced together the whole story and come to ask him about it.

"Come in. The door isn't locked."

Just as Hisato Asuka placed her hand on the doorknob, Izayoi's voice came from inside.

"Then we'll come in."

After exchanging a glance with Kasukabe Yō, Hisato Asuka pushed open the door to Izayoi's room.

The moment they entered, Hisato Asuka and Kasukabe Yō rapidly surveyed the room.

"So this is a boy's room? It's rather plain." For some reason, Kasukabe Yō sounded a little disappointed as she commented.

Izayoi immediately took offense at that. His eyes drooped as he said irritably, "Hey, you two, what exactly did you come here for? If you came to play with me, I'd be happy to oblige."

"I didn't expect you to like talking in your sleep too, Izayoi."

Hearing Izayoi's teasing, Hisato Asuka retorted without backing down.

Izayoi merely shrugged without caring, then got up and sat properly, signaling for the two of them to get down to business.

"I heard you're planning to become a Demon King and duel Perseus?"

After finding places to sit, the two of them asked directly.

"So Black Rabbit told you everything. But you didn't come here just to ask that, did you?"

"Of course not. We just want to know how you intend to obtain Organizer Authority. If possible, include me as well."

In her original world, Hisato Asuka had built herself into the largest and strongest capitalist through her own efforts. Though much of that had relied on the power of her Gift, her strategic insight could not be denied.

With Organizer Authority, they could seize the initiative as quickly as possible no matter what situation they encountered. Without it, No Name would always remain passive.

"As expected of our strategist. You had the same idea I did. But you came a little late. I'll take you along next time there's a chance."

"Too late? What do you mean?"

Hisato Asuka froze slightly, failing to understand Izayoi's meaning at first. She thought he no longer intended to obtain Organizer Authority.

However, she and Kasukabe Yō quickly realized what he meant, staring at Izayoi in disbelief. "Don't tell me you've already obtained it?"

Just as they were about to ask more questions, Izayoi interrupted them.

"Haha, that's right. On my way back, I accidentally stepped on a Demon King Ant and crushed it to death. Ah, my luck really is great."

Naturally, Izayoi knew what Hisato Asuka and Kasukabe Yō wanted to know. However, he could not let them know about the Chat Group yet, because they were still too weak. Once they had gained some strength, he would use his authority to bring them in.

For now, it was too early. Asura God Buddhas possessed a vast variety of extremely powerful abilities. If one of them had an ability similar to Authority or telepathy, the Chat Group could no longer be kept secret.

"That was such a perfunctory answer. But if you don't want to talk about it, then forget it."

Seeing that Izayoi clearly did not want to elaborate, Hisato Asuka did not press him. She merely sighed helplessly. "Then we won't disturb you any longer. Good night."

With that, she pulled Kasukabe Yō away from Izayoi's room.

"Ah, good night. I should be able to sleep well tonight."

Looking out the window at the pitch-black night, Izayoi muttered to himself.

At that moment, the moonlight that had once been slyly bright was covered by heavy clouds. The world was shrouded in darkness, leaving nothing visible.

From time to time, the howling of a cold wind could be heard.

"A dark and windy night. The perfect time for murder and arson."

He had originally planned to wait until tomorrow to get White Night Yaksha to reveal the location of the Perseus Community treasury. But with weather so fitting for murder and arson, it would be a shame not to make use of it.

Besides, that guy was not very trustworthy either.

Thinking of the person who claimed he would not sell Leticia until a week later, Izayoi became even more eager to act as soon as possible.

It was not just because he wanted to reclaim his Community's companion sooner. He also needed to vent his anger.

"What an idiot. He actually dared to make filthy remarks about the child bride Canary raised for me?"

The child bride Izayoi spoke of was none other than Black Rabbit. After all, Black Rabbit had also grown up under Canary's care, so calling her his child bride was not an exaggeration at all.

After stretching his body, Izayoi vanished from the room.

Not long afterward, Black Rabbit hesitantly pushed open Izayoi's door.

"Lord Izayoi, regarding Lady Leticia... Huh? Where is he?"

The empty room and the open window both made it clear that the owner of the room had only just left.

"Huh? Where did Lord Izayoi go?"

Without a second thought, Black Rabbit dismissed the possibility that Izayoi had gone alone to challenge Perseus.

After all, Perseus was a fairly powerful Community. The idea of declaring war on them alone was something she could never have imagined.

What she did not know was that Izayoi had already become a Demon King capable of ravaging Hakoniwa and ignoring its rules.

Late at night.

Above the Perseus Community, sheets of black Parchment drifted in the wind before arriving in the hands of every Perseus Community member.

"What is this? Is it raining?"

"This is... How is this possible? A Demon King's Gift Game?"

"Life, honor, and everything belonging to the Perseus Community are being put on the line."

"The victory condition... Defeat the invading Demon King?"

"The signature is... Humanity's Final Prayer? Who is that? I've never heard of them."

For a time, everyone in the Perseus Community awoke from their sleep, staring in shock at the Contract Documents in their hands that they could not refuse.

"What? It seems Perseus has gone too long without accomplishing anything. Now any stray Demon King dares to provoke us?"

Seated on an ornate leader's throne, Luos Perseus looked at the Contract Document that had appeared in his own hand, his expression gradually turning savage.

Today really was an unlucky day. He had just encountered an ignorant brat at White Night Yaksha's place, and now an Unknown Demon King had appeared as well?

Inside the magnificent hall. "Lord Luos, please prepare yourself. This is the Battle for Survival of the Perseus Community!"

A resolute-looking middle-aged man rapidly directed the somewhat panicked Perseus members, then dropped to one knee and looked toward the furious Luos Perseus.

"Oh? Are you teaching me how to do things? You should know that I am the leader of this Community!!"

Luos Perseus mercilessly rebuked the serious man, then touched the Snake Woman Pendant around his neck. "Besides, what right does a mere Demon King have to make Perseus mobilize in full force?"

"As long as it is a Demon King, it cannot be faced carelessly."

The man did not become angry because of Luos Perseus's contempt. Instead, he seriously explained Hakoniwa's Survival Rules.

Hearing those words, Luos Perseus's expression changed several times. In the end, he snorted reluctantly. "Fine, then. But since it has come, let this Gift have some fun."

Touching the pendant around his neck once more, Luos Perseus rose from his ornate leader's throne and slowly walked outside.

Seeing Luos Perseus change his mind, the man did not delay. He hurriedly organized the Community members into squads using Imitation Gifts, preparing to resist the Demon King's attack.

Yet even after setting up a net around the entire Community, they could not find the invading Demon King anywhere.

What they failed to notice was that above the clouds, Izayoi watched their troop formations with great interest, waiting for them to finish their preparations.

"Since they're ready, let's begin. If this drags on too long, those Three-digit members of Thousand Eyes will notice."

As the ant-like soldiers below finished preparing and used the Imitation Invisible Helmet to turn invisible, Izayoi could not be bothered to wait any longer.

He leaped down from the sky. His terrifying initial acceleration allowed him to break through several layers of the Sound Barrier in an instant.

The tremendous friction set the surrounding air ablaze with scorching sparks, turning him into a meteor as he plummeted directly toward Perseus's base!

"Look up! Watch out!"

"Spread out!"

"No, it's too fast! We can't dodge it!"

"Is this the Demon King's method? That single strike could destroy half a planet!"

"Damn it, this is definitely a Four-digit Demon King! Why would a Demon King like this target us?!"

Watching the falling meteor, the Perseus members believed it to be the Demon King's attack. Their faces filled with despair as they desperately fled toward the outskirts.

But the next moment, a dark violet flash swept through the area, turning those who had tried to flee into salt statues standing upon the ground.

"Who gave you permission to run? Remember, we are the mighty Perseus. I will never permit you to flee the battlefield!"

Luos Perseus arrived calmly and first used Gorgon's Aura to turn several fleeing soldiers into salt, using his power to intimidate the others who had already lost their courage.

Seeing their companions "killed," they did not grieve. Instead, their eyes burned as they cheered wildly.

"That's right! We have that! So what if it's a Demon King? We won't lose!"

"Haha, we don't have to die after all! Long live Perseus!"

Listening to the cheers and praise below, Luos Perseus could not help but smile. He greatly enjoyed this feeling.

"A Demon King? Perfect. Your corpse will become part of Perseus's collection."

He gently stroked the pendant at his neck. A purple-black beam several thousand meters in radius shot from it toward the meteor in the sky.

However, just as he was brimming with confidence, the meteor did not turn into a block of salt as expected. Instead, its overwhelming impact shattered the purple-black beam.

"H-How is that possible? Gorgon's Authority didn't work?"
