Chapter 363: Legends are Just Legends
"Goodbye, Kuromori-kun~"
Mizuha waved her hand and then ran away cheerfully.
Although she was flatly rejected, she didn't seem affected, and recovered quickly.
Maybe people like Mizuha can live happier in this world?
Haruto retracted his gaze and headed towards the hotel where Ichinose and his group were staying.
The sun was setting.
The temperature had started to drop.
Wait until the sun sets completely, tonight's temperature will drop to the teens, or even a few degrees.
If there wasn't a blood-red moon in the sky, the temperature might have already dropped below zero long ago.
But this world won't do that.
At least, not before Haruto dies.
As long as he's alive, this current world won't become an oddity.
And wanting him to die, he didn't die in the two incidents ten years ago and a year ago, so now and in the future it will be even harder.
Under the setting sun.
Haruto's steps were neither hurried nor slow, but the shadow was getting longer.
He walked on the road, not in a hurry to return, but silently observing.
The crack in the sky will soon be fully visible. Currently, the space has started to become unstable, so even ordinary people can sometimes see the crack in the sky.
Undoubtedly, this doesn't cause surprise for those who see it, but deep fear and anxiety.
This is also the reason for the riots in Chiba City.
Now the entire internet, including television, has started discussing topics related to "doomsday".
And this topic, from the initial "rumor", has gradually become "reality".
As Haruto expected, due to the previous mental preparation, the order in Chiba City hasn't completely gone out of control.
Most people are law-abiding and continue to repeat what they do every day.
Only a few extreme people act extremely because they cannot accept reality.
But this is his territory!
No matter who they are, no one is allowed to disrupt order here!
Haruto looked at Japan, which is his hometown. With his reminder, there is no chaos.
Anyway, for now, as long as this country hasn't been destroyed, other places are safe.
Who made him stay in this country in the first place?
Therefore, this country will inevitably become the front-line battlefield.
Haruto felt a lot of mysterious atmospheres today.
A large number of them came from China, and they are much stronger than the gods in this country.
And then there's the West.
However, the situation in the West is much more chaotic.
There are also mysterious and strange atmospheres awakening.
The world is changing.
It seems that many existences that only exist in legends are starting to awaken or be reborn.
"Is this a struggle of the world?"
Haruto retracted his gaze and continued to move forward.
"Legends are just legends. Even if there are only two or three big and small fish fighting, they might not be able to jump a few times."
"Anyway, the current world is still dominated by ordinary people."
If war really breaks out, who else besides him and Yoruha has a destructive power greater than nuclear weapons?
Even Nanako, who claims to be the deified goddess of fate, hasn't succeeded.
Haruto sighed: "Legends are just legends. There are mountain monsters and Hyakki Yako, but for others, being able to protect the safety of a place is already an extraordinary thing."
And there are only less than ten people in the world who are barely able to do this.
This is assuming that no Void Demon or Great Devil appears.
Before he knew it, Haruto had arrived at the entrance of the hotel.
The vast twilight had enveloped the earth without anyone noticing.
Haruto was about to enter the hotel when he suddenly felt something and immediately stopped.
"Is the seal broken so quickly? You guys are really impatient!"
Haruto turned around and looked at the moon that was gradually turning red. His black eyes seemed to be stained with blood.
"The moon at the end of the sky is stained red by the blood of the gods, giving the last hope at the end of the sky."
"But this is my territory!"
As the sound fell, an invisible force, with Haruto as the center, instantly spread in all directions.
Sky, earth, sea, wind.
Trees, flowers, green grass.
Dirt, debris, rocks.
The universe, meteorites, sun, moon.
At this moment, the world suddenly became silent, as if time had stopped.
Haruto slowly closed his eyes.
This is an invisible collision.
However, this is not a fight against a certain existence, but a fight against the darkness that is invading this world.
The darkness that can make the entire universe silent, is of course very terrifying.
Ten minutes later.
The moon returned to its bright white color again.
The world started moving again.
Haruto opened his eyes and exhaled. Just as he was about to turn around, his hand was suddenly grabbed. Soon after, Nanako and Yoruha's voices were heard.
"Onii-chan, thank you for your hard work."
"Master needs Yoruha to carry you home?"
"Thank you, but no need."
Haruto refused Yoruha, then looked at Nanako and said, "Get ready, a new event is about to begin."
Nanako pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "Onii-chan, actually we can..."
Actually, by sending everyone back to the Oddity, the crack in the sky can be temporarily closed.
Then they can buy some time.
While waiting until Haruto completes his evolution, the situation will be much better.
But Haruto chose to refuse again: "Nanako, I know what you mean, but I refuse."
"Okay~"
Nanako sighed and said, "There's nothing I can do. You are Nanako's beloved Onii-chan, so I'll let Onii-chan be stubborn this once!"
"That's right."
Nanako and Yoruha accompanied Haruto to the hotel. Nanako asked: "Onii-chan, do you know what will happen next?"
If we know, we can prepare early to avoid people dying and turning into monsters, thus creating a vicious cycle.
Haruto ruthlessly shattered Nanako's fantasy.
"I know." He said calmly: "If I had to define the next event, I would call it."
"A real nightmare!"
