Completely Insane

"Eh? Has this guy gone crazy?"

Hidan looked at Sakamoto, who had swallowed eight or nine Kagune in one go, and spoke in surprise.

It was already remarkable for an ordinary person to withstand the mental distortion brought by a single Kagune. Yet Sakamoto had actually eaten so many at once. He was basically courting death.

But if he did not eat them, he would be little different from a dead man in front of Shiraishi Mori.

"This is getting more and more interesting."

A rare smile appeared on Simu's face.

An experiment needed to observe every possible outcome.

Under Simu's gaze, an incomparably twisted and astonishing aura erupted from Sakamoto like a tsunami.

The Kagune Sakamoto had devoured surged continuously through his body before erupting all at once.

"Ah!!!!"

Sakamoto opened his mouth and let out an agonized wail.

The Kagune relentlessly twisted his soul and flesh as countless dark-purple exoskeletons frantically grew from every corner of his body.

"Die!"

"All of you, die!"

Amid his agonized roars, Sakamoto's mind finally collapsed completely!

The only proof was that his body had undergone a complete transformation.

His feet were entirely encased in exoskeleton before fusing together, extending segment by segment in a mad rush until his entire lower body became a terrifying purple centipede dozens of meters long!

His upper body underwent equally horrifying changes. Countless dark-purple exoskeletons grew across the surface of his skin, while his hands turned into scythe-like blades.

The Kagune parasitizing his forehead likewise transformed his head into that of a giant insect. Its hideous, fang-filled mandibles rubbed together constantly, producing sickening noises.

"This guy has completely gone berserk."

Simu pulled his hand from his pocket and slowly adjusted his glasses.

Unlike the appreciative look he had given Shiraishi Mori, Simu looked at Sakamoto as though he were nothing more than a failed product.

"This guy is obviously stronger than that kid, so why do you look down on him so much?"

Hidan was deeply puzzled.

Wasn't stronger always better?

Simu glanced at Hidan. "Since this time's gains were fairly decent, I'll reluctantly answer your question."

Hidan was extremely annoyed and wanted to beat Simu up, but he could not win against him.

Ignoring Hidan's frustrated resentment, which he could only swallow despite being furious, Simu continued, "Although Shiraishi Mori's current state can no longer be considered that of a proper human, his mind—or rather, his soul—still holds the dominant position."

"You could say that although he has fused further with the Kagune, his soul is still Shiraishi Mori's."

"But Sakamoto is different. Out of Fear of death, he sold both his body and soul to Jashin—in other words, the Kagune."

"Therefore, he is now merely a Kagune that retains a large portion of Sakamoto's will. For a short while, this body will still act according to his will, but as time passes, that will shall rapidly dissipate, and he will completely become a—"

"A monster controlled by Lord Jashin."

"Tch."

Clearly, Hidan had not understood what Simu was saying.

"What soul, what body, what will?"

"What a pain. When the time comes, I'll just kill them all and sacrifice them to Lord Jashin."

Simu rolled his eyes. He had known it would be like this.

The terrifying aura emanating from Sakamoto immediately put Shiraishi Mori on guard.

Only on guard—not afraid, much less terrified.

"A coward who abandoned his own soul."

A trace of disdain flashed through Shiraishi Mori's eyes as he broke into a run toward the monster dozens of meters tall before him.

Sakamoto savored the twisted yet incomparably powerful strength within his body, his eyes gleaming with a terrifying light.

"Go die, all of you!"

With an inhuman roar, his terrifying body dozens of meters long sprang into motion.

His sharp legs struck the ground in showers of sparks, kicking up clouds of dust across the battlefield.

Suddenly, Sakamoto moved his body. His sharp, thick centipede tail instantly crossed the entire arena and came smashing straight down at Shiraishi Mori!

Though he looked enormous, Sakamoto was not slow.

The hundreds of blade-like legs on his body were almost instantly upon Shiraishi Mori.

Facing legs nearly half his height, he chose to meet them head-on.

His iron fist, covered in dark-red exoskeleton, blasted fiercely toward the enemy!

In an instant, sparks flew everywhere.

Terrifying force spread outward, and dense cracks appeared across the ground.

Shiraishi Mori knocked aside the legs before him with brute strength, but one must not forget that Sakamoto's body was now fifty or sixty meters long!

He was a complete and utter monster.

Even though Shiraishi Mori had knocked away the legs, that massive body still came sweeping down to crush him!

The force carried by a frontal collision from something that large was simply beyond Shiraishi Mori's ability to withstand. The instant they made contact, he was flung away and slammed deep into the arena wall.

The cruise ship, already riddled with holes, shook violently.

"Cough, cough, cough."

Shiraishi Mori struggled out of the shattered wall, thick blood continuously spilling from his mouth.

The terrifying force had caved in a large portion of his chest. Without the exoskeleton, he would have died already.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Sakamoto opened his mandibles. His mind had been completely twisted, and everything he did was merely guided by the remnants of his will, seeking to destroy everything!

Seeing Shiraishi Mori rise again, Sakamoto twisted his enormous body once more and launched another ferocious assault.

But after witnessing its terrifying power, how could Shiraishi Mori possibly keep taking hits head-on? He could only dodge continuously around the arena.

Several times, he found an opening to approach Sakamoto, but the terrifying scythe-like Kagune on Sakamoto's arms forced him back each time.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

While pursuing Shiraishi Mori, Sakamoto madly destroyed the ship's hull and instantly slaughtered other Ghouls.

Other than Shiraishi Mori, ordinary Ghouls were as laughably helpless as toys in Sakamoto's hands. Often, a single twist of his body was enough to crush several of them to death.

The battle continued.

Boom!

Shiraishi Mori was sent flying once again, smashing through the ground like a cannonball.

The terrifying force shattered the exoskeleton on Shiraishi Mori's body and even broke his bones.

This time, he did not get back up.

"Kill!"

Sakamoto's excited roar enveloped the entire cruise ship.

"Tch, so this guy won in the end."

Hidan dug at his ear and said unhappily.

This sudden remark immediately drew Sakamoto's attention.

"Kill."

He turned his head and stared fixedly at Simu and Hidan. There seemed to be a trace of confusion within his violent gaze.

As if asking, why were there still two people here?

But Sakamoto now only wanted to destroy this world and had no time to think. He twisted his terrifying body and charged straight at Hidan and Simu!
