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

But just as Hisato Asuka had said, she was no longer the person she used to be. She had extraordinary confidence in her control over herself.

The flute's melody drifted melodiously through the air as Hisato Asuka and Dean stood where they were, listening intently.

Setting aside its prejudice and bewitching power, the tune truly was a beautiful piece of music.

This was devil's music. Ordinary people did not have what it took to keep listening.

When the song ended, Ratin shook her head helplessly and lowered the flute. "I lost."

"I won."

"Little girl, can you do me a favor?"

Knowing that she had no ability to resist, Ratin did not try to bewitch the Lesser Dragon again and force Hisato Asuka into a dilemma. Instead, she spread her arms and said with a smile.

"Tell me. As the opponent who helped me grow, I'll do my best to fulfill it."

"Please don't hate my master, all right? She's just a pitiful little girl who was forced to bear the resentment of eighty million people who died of disease."

"If you meet my master, please say hello to her for me."

After saying that, Ratin closed her eyes and waited for death to come.

"That's two favors." Hisato Asuka fell silent for a moment, then turned her back. "But I accept."

Boom—

A good woman never looked back at an explosion!

### A Strike That Regressed Time and Slashed the World

Pest, who was being beaten like a punching bag by Izayoi, seemed to sense something. She froze slightly, and a trace of sorrow flashed through her indifferent expression. She still had some feelings for Ratin Wesir, who had always supported her unconditionally. But now, she was a Demon King—a Demon King burdened with eighty million dead souls.

She absolutely could not reveal such personal feelings. It would only hinder her from completing her mission.

"Oh? Looks like your subordinates have already been defeated by my companions. How about it? Why not surrender?"

Seeing Pest suddenly stop, Izayoi Sakamaki did not rush to attack. He clenched his fists and said with a smile.

"Surrender?"

Hearing Izayoi Sakamaki's words, Pest sneered. The black aura around her began to swell and spread.

"Even if Ratin and the others are dead, as long as I drag this past the time limit, White Night Yaksha, Salamandra, and even you will become my subordinates."

"The time limit?"

Glancing at the Clock Tower, Izayoi saw that the time had already reached eight in the morning.

Once it reached ten, including the time before the interruption, exactly twenty-four hours would have passed. The Gift Game's time limit would be up.

Originally, the participants would have won once the time limit expired. However, because Black Rabbit had used her authority to interrupt the game, that privilege had been transferred to the organizers.

It seemed that his idea of directly subduing the spotted loli had been too naive.

Izayoi Sakamaki sighed and clenched his fist again.

Sure enough, to make a Demon King submit, absolute strength was needed to crush them!

During the breathing room Izayoi Sakamaki had given her, black mist erupted from Pest's sleeves, which were even longer than her arms.

This mist was quite different from before. It made people shudder, like a summons from the underworld.

"Let this Black Death Breath, which devours the life of anything it touches, make you feel my pain!"

The black mist directly enveloped Izayoi Sakamaki. The deadly fog continued to surge past him toward the area behind him.

There were still many civilians there who had not yet evacuated.

"Damn it, that thing is terrifying! Everyone, run!"

Watching the panicked crowd flee, Black Rabbit grew anxious. She hurriedly picked up several children at the very back and leaped high over the rooftops, barely avoiding it.

But when she looked back, a familiar figure happened to walk out of a building, completely unaware of the approaching danger.

"Lily, watch out!"

Black Rabbit's pupils contracted as she shouted urgently.

"What?"

Hearing the cry, Lily instinctively looked to the side. The black mist drifted toward her like death's call.

She wanted to run, but for some reason, her legs gave out and she collapsed onto the ground.

Perhaps she had not yet recovered from the fright Wesir had given her earlier, only for another threat to arrive now.

"Lily!"

Kasukabe Yō also noticed the situation. With a flash, she appeared in front of Lily, both hands carrying a fierce gale as she swept it toward the black mist.

But the gale passed straight through the black mist and did not affect its course at all.

"What? Even wind can't disperse it?"

Kasukabe Yō froze briefly, then turned around, grabbed Lily, and quickly dodged away.

But that was only a temporary measure. If they did not find a way to block it or deal with its source, the black mist would eventually spread throughout the entire area.

By then, corpses would be everywhere.

"Leave it to me!"

A crimson figure instantly appeared before the black mist. It was Hisato Asuka, who had rushed over in her Gundam.

An orange-red barrier appeared before the Gundam, resembling an AI-like barrier.

And that barrier miraculously stopped the black mist, which even the gale could not disperse.

Only then did Kasukabe Yō and the others breathe a sigh of relief and look up at Izayoi, who had been swallowed by the black mist.

"You didn't dodge?"

Seeing Izayoi Sakamaki take her attack head-on, Pest shook her head in disappointment.

Fine. Even if she had lost a powerful youth, with White Night Yaksha, she could still go farther in Hakoniwa, where the gods stood in great numbers.

"What are you disappointed about, spotted loli?"

Izayoi Sakamaki's voice came from within the black mist. He had only wanted to test how powerful Pest's ultimate move was, while also seeing how much Hisato Asuka and the others had grown.

The result pleased him. In that case, unless some heavyweight Demon King attacked, No Name would be able to deal with things easily even without Izayoi Sakamaki personally stepping in.

"What?"

Hearing the voice from within the black mist, Pest was clearly incredulous. There were not many in Hakoniwa who could resist her black mist, but there were still quite a few.

Sensing a fierce wind rushing at her, Pest instantly dodged backward.

"Why is there someone in the lowest levels who can shatter stars so easily, and why are they in such an obscure community?"

Having dodged Izayoi Sakamaki's attack, Pest felt deeply aggrieved. Who could have imagined that such an unexpected variable would appear in this Gift Game?

Yet Izayoi Sakamaki had not intended to attack Pest. He simply smashed apart the black mist she had released, then stood in the air and looked at her with a smile. "Hey, what's wrong, spotted loli? Weren't you going to take revenge on the sun?"

Those words made Pest's gaze sharpen. That was right—she carried the lamentations of eighty million people. How could she fall here?

Thinking of her long-cherished wish, Pest's expression instantly twisted. "That's right, for revenge against the sun! For the lamentations of those eighty million people, I'll sacrifice as many more as necessary!"

She raised her sleeves high. Two streams of terrifying black mist erupted from them, covering the sky and dimming the earth!

"Hey, hey, if that attack comes down, everyone in the city will die, right?"

Seeing such a terrifying attack, Black Rabbit immediately took out a Gift Card engraved with strange runes.

This was the Moon Authority, opposed to the Sun Authority.

Though it was inferior to the Sun Authority in both quantity and power, in the hands of a Moon Rabbit, it could be used to forcibly transfer the battlefield to the moon.

This was the Moon Rabbit's stage-type Gift—Chandra Mahal.

Just as the Gift Card containing the Moon Authority lit up, two hands stopped her.

Kasukabe Yō and Hisato Asuka exchanged smiles and said in unison, "What are you afraid of? Isn't Izayoi here?"

As soon as they spoke, a golden meteor flew against the current toward the sky, until it reached the black mist covering the heavens.

"Heh, an opponent who can only be defeated by reviving the sun?"

Above the rising black mist, Izayoi Sakamaki curled his lips into a faint smile. "At this moment, I am the sun! I'll pierce through everything!"

### Void Star Taisui and the Gift of the Dragon Princess

Standing high in the heavens, Izayoi Sakamaki looked down at the city covered by black clouds. "Dark clouds press upon the city, threatening to crush it."

After making that rather poetic remark, Izayoi Sakamaki grinned, raised his right leg high, and brought it down upon the black clouds like a battle-axe.

Boom—

The terrifying black clouds were split apart by that miracle-shattering strike, revealing the ant-like crowd below.

And Pest, who could not believe what she was seeing.

"Are you surprised already? There's something even more exciting coming."

With a chuckle, Izayoi Sakamaki rapidly fell downward, occasionally stepping on empty air to increase his speed.

At such tremendous speed came equally terrifying power.

Speed was power.

"Damn it, I absolutely won't surrender like this! Aaaahhh!!!"

After her final killing move was broken, Pest's face twisted in fury. Even more surging black mist erupted from her sleeves.

Meanwhile, Izayoi Sakamaki, transformed into a meteor, slowly drew back his left leg. Facing Pest's desperate strike without dodging, he struck the most classic pose of Kamen Rider.

Rider Kick!

"Hahaha! Let it hereby be declared, Black Death Demon King! You shall vanish from this world!"

The golden meteor tore through the surging black darkness and struck Pest directly.

A blow powerful enough to destroy stars landed heavily on Pest's chest. Her tiny body clearly could not withstand such a violent attack, and in an instant, she became a cloud of blood mist that filled the sky!

Gift Game: Hamelin...

At the moment the Black Death Demon King perished, the Contract Document appeared before everyone. Most of them began to cheer.

But at the very instant the Contract Document appeared, Izayoi Sakamaki suddenly shattered the air beneath his feet, forcibly stopping his descent. He stretched out his right hand.

A ripple of spacetime fluctuations spread from the spot where Pest had died.

Time-Space Regression

A mere 0.0001 seconds consumed all of Izayoi Sakamaki's strength.

At the same time, darkness flashed before his eyes.

The Black Death that had originally died... no, the spotted loli, reappeared in that spot with a terrified and twisted expression.

"Yo, spotted loli. Welcome to becoming my subordinate."

"Sub... subordinate? What kind of joke is that? I am the Black Death—"

"You're wrong." Izayoi Sakamaki patted Pest's delicate cheeks with both hands. "The Black Death Demon King is dead. The one who survived is only a little girl named Pest, understand?"

"As the Black Death Demon King, I'm already dead?"

Pest froze, then lowered her head. Only then did she remember that he had killed her just now, yet she had somehow been revived.

So... the lamentations of eighty million people had ultimately failed to take revenge on the sun?

Looking blankly at the sun that had begun to shine upon the earth, Pest took a deep breath.

"Pest greets Master."

Whatever happened afterward, she should live properly for now.

Without the lamentations of eighty million people, she could live an ordinary life as a little maid.
