Chapter 521: Don't Get Overconfident! Nia: My Hero!
"Do you have any last words? As the one who made me, I can be merciful and fulfill them," Rosa's words were full of mockery.
His calm eyes looked at her through the blades, and he couldn't help but shake his head. "I'm truly saddened by your sudden arrogance. My previous words weren't just for Tatsumaki; they were also for you. From beginning to end, it was you who didn't recognize your own strength."
As his words fell, "Clang!" The countless branch-blades surrounding them instantly shattered.
"What's going on?" Rosa was bewildered.
Furthermore, before she could react, a blood-red tide, indescribable and seemingly blotting out the sky, engulfed her. In the blink of an eye, her Spirit Armor was torn from her body. At the same time, the Kabbalah and Qliphoth Trees were ripped out.
"Ugh…" In her stunned expression, her mouth hung open, but she couldn't utter a word. Her body dissipated into points of light within Gluttony's vortex.
"..." Tatsumaki, supported by Ren, stared blankly at this scene. The enemy who had defeated her with a single blow was easily eliminated.
[Ding! Detected that the Abnormal Doomsday factor has been defeated by Chat Group member Ren. Doom Companion ends!]
[Ding! Ren gains 500 million doomsday points, Tatsumaki and Tokisaki Kurumi gain 30 million doomsday points, and Shiroyasha gains 10 million doomsday points!]
Seeing the notification, Shiroyasha wanted to ask a question, but the words caught in her throat. This reminded her of the rule that Chat Group information could not be disclosed. She had thought it was merely a punishable rule, but she never expected it to enforce a mandatory gag.
However, what surprised her more was the power Ren displayed. A bizarre devouring ability. She was well-traveled and knew at a glance that Rosa had been devoured and stripped away. Perhaps even rules and spirit ranks could be devoured.
"So strong!" Nia exclaimed loudly. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Ren. Having learned he was her savior and witnessing his overwhelming power, he was now like a superhero in her heart.
"The enemy… disappeared?" Tohka tilted her head innocently.
"Our objective is gone, but yours is still here." Ren returned to the ground with Tatsumaki, meaningfully looking towards Ellen's direction.
"..." Ellen, who wanted to pretend to be dead, had fluctuating eyes. The restraints on her had suddenly disappeared. She surmised he must have lifted them.
"Oh my, this young lady seems to be from DEM. You were the one who captured Nia, weren't you?" Kurumi narrowed her eyes.
At her words, Nia's body trembled, and she again hid behind Ren, clutching his clothes.
After letting go of Tatsumaki, Ren pondered for a moment, then placed his palm on Nia's head. "Hmm!" Nia, who thought she was being caressed, instantly stiffened, her face flushing as a strange warmth spread from his touch.
But Ren merely detected something in her head and transferred it out. "What is this?" Tohka curiously examined the strange mechanical object.
Ren said, "A device from Nia's head, installed by DEM."
"Eh?!" She only then reacted, touching her head.
"Don't worry. I took it out. As for what it does, perhaps this lady from DEM can explain."
"…" Despite being unrestrained, Ellen remained motionless. She didn't think about escaping. In her eyes, running was a joke. Being obedient was the best decision. "That's a miniature Realizer."
[Inorin's Note: In Date A Live, a Realizer is a device that makes the impossible possible, allowing wizards to create territories and use advanced technology.]
As she spoke, she observed his expression. "The miniature Realizer can seal her memories. After manipulation, it can make her recall everything instantly."
Upon mentioning memories, Nia's body trembled again. Kurumi understood. "So someone opened this device, making her remember something, which caused her to Inverse?"
This was indeed the case. After a period of silence, Nia said bitterly, "That's right. Because the five years of memories I spent in DEM were not good." She remembered being cut open, having her skull drilled, and her limbs shaved off millimeter by millimeter. Recalling it, her body felt phantom pains.
