Chapter 1553 – [Social Debut]

As the talent competition continued, it slowly became a competition that I cared about.

Semifinals, but the opponents are the Vatican team and the U.S. National team. In my opinion, it was virtually no different from the finals. So I looked quite carefully.

And at some point, the other party also had information about each other. The Vatican team knew that the U.S. Team had superpowers focused on lightning, and on the other hand, the U.S. Team knew the Vatican team’s tactics through previous participation in the war, so they knew each other well.

In order to beat the opponent, we will try to analyze and interpret each other’s tactics to win… I think the previous tactics are virtually meaningless.

“Actually, I think the Vatican team is hard-headed. Didn’t they try to use the same tactics when fighting the Sun-Moon-God team?”

[Hmm, maybe he’s conservative because he’s a religious person?]

“Oh, I think that’s a very biased evaluation!!!!!”

The analysis of Eden and Keter was natural. Since the same tactics won’t work, it was natural for humans to think of different tactics.

No matter how much you believe, it is foolish to push the same tactics. In order to win, you must be able to analyze and respond sufficiently.

Of course, if you have sufficient force like me, you can just choke everyone regardless of tactics, but that requires overwhelming power.

[Anyway, if I had the brains, I would change my tactics this time. Hmm, how will they deal with the American team?]

“Honestly, I’m looking forward to seeing what it’s like. In fact, the Dengeki world is eating up just by itself.”

Electricity travels faster than fire, and when electrocuted, the effects appear immediately. Even if it is less effective against people with special abilities, it can be resolved by pouring more electricity than that.

Of course, since they have this ability and are not used by a transcendental person, the lightning they use will be fully understandable even from the perspective of a person with this ability. But even so, it doesn’t change the fact that it’s difficult to deal with.

How will the Vatican team deal with the American team?… If you think about that, it’s quite interesting.

And not long after, the two teams clashed. People are also excited about the clash between two teams that are strong contenders for the championship, and look forward to the match by predicting who will win.

The Vatican team looked the same as usual, but the US team had a different exoskeleton suit, possibly because they had changed their equipment. What should I say, the frame feels much thicker? It seems that they changed their equipment because they were wary of the Vatican team’s immense power.

I was wondering who would win, but the captain of the US national team had a confident look on his face. As he entered the stadium, he soon spotted Eden in the VIP section and smiled lightly and made eye contact.

At the same time, the way he shows his hostility by glaring at me, what can I say… It strikes me that he doesn’t know how scary a tiger that was born for a day.

“The American team’s firepower appears to have been well-prepared, and looking at their tricky tactics when dealing with the British team, their ability to apply this ability is also good. I wonder how the Vatican team will deal with them.”

“On the other hand, if the American team’s tactics are revealed and the Vatican team responds to them, I wonder how they will respond. It’s a difficult game to predict who will win.”

Commentators also talk about each team and discuss wins and losses. And when the game time comes, the game begins in earnest.

As soon as the horn sounds to signal the start of the match, the two teams clash. As soon as the U.S. Team started, they launched a preemptive attack with an inevitable blitz to overpower the Vatican team.

It’s a joke!!!!

Just as stun guns are not used as self-defense equipment for no reason, the suppressive power of electricity is excellent. And since it’s so fast, you usually have no choice but to get hit even if you know it.

But the Vatican team has been prepared to deal with it. Soon, one of them stood in place and began to pray.

“No?!”

Then, the electric shocks, which were scattered in all directions and stretched towards the Vatican team like a net, were focused on one member of the Vatican team who was praying. It looks like a living lightning rod.

Even though I wonder if one person can withstand the blitz that attacks the entire team, the Vatican Exorcist team are people who are adept at enduring and persevering through pain. Considering that he somehow withstood the attacks and temptations of evil spirits in the past, he could probably do that for at least one match.

Thanks to this, one of the US team’s means of attack was sealed. In fact, since you can no longer attack from a distance, you will eventually have to engage in close combat. And that was the Vatican team’s talent.

Of course, the U.S. Team had enhanced physical capabilities thanks to the exoskeleton suit, but it was difficult to prevent the exorcists who had trained for more than a dozen years from physical exorcism. Moreover, personal physical specifications are also specifications.

Wow!! Kwaaaaang!!!!

“Ah!!!! The Vatican team has won now!!!! If things continue like this, the American team will lose!!!!”

“Although it is Vertigo, the exoskeleton suits worn by the US team are precision equipment!!! Even if just the joints are damaged, they cannot be used!!!!”

The reason the U.S. Team was able to survive was because they were able to make up for their lack of physical specifications thanks to the exoskeleton suit, but if the equipment was damaged, they would eventually be overpowered.

I thought that the U.S. Team would lose if they continued to be pushed back like this, but at that moment, the U.S. Team’s superpowers suddenly took off the exoskeleton suits they were wearing as if they had received a special order.

It was surprisingly easy to take it off and throw it, so I wondered if it had some kind of self-destruct device, but that couldn’t have been the case because if you use something like that in a match, you’ll be immediately disqualified. And… Lucas, captain of the U.S. National team, used an unexpected technique like he did in England to turn the tide.

“Wow!!! Magneto!!!!!”

“Considering the size of the ability, it may be far from enough.”

He had previously defeated the British team by magnetizing their equipment. First, his superpower seems to be lightning, but he can also manipulate magnetism.

And the exoskeleton suits worn by the U.S. National team are also made of metal. Probably, the British team used special treatment to prevent it from sticking, but since that method was not used against the Vatican team, they switched to other equipment. Moreover, with stronger and heavier equipment.

Slam!!! Slam!!!

The U.S. National team’s exoskeleton suit stuck to Lucas’ body, giving him a robot-like appearance. In fact, it was not moved by a mechanical device, but rather resembled a work of art made of scrap metal dolls made by gluing together metal chunks of an exoskeleton suit, but it was still sufficiently threatening.

If you think about the weight of one exoskeleton suit, the scrap metal giant of 15 of them combined is worth a ton. Moreover, since it attaches and moves with magnetism generated by superpowers, it will move even if broken unless the superpower person himself is subdued.

Cooung!!!

Soon, a scrap metal robot stood in the stadium. The Vatican team also looked up at the scrap metal giant, several meters in size, as if they hadn’t expected that.

But they did not surrender either. Perhaps he intended to fight until the end, but his fighting spirit was aroused.

“Aaaaamen!!!!!!!”

The scrap metal giant waved his arm. Because it is swung with weight, the mass contained therein becomes force and the attack hits the Vatican team. The entire Vatican team, which was rugged and fully strengthened with spiritual power, rushed in to stop it, but gradually began to be pushed back.

Of course, it was not simply pushed by force, but there was also electricity in the scrap metal giant’s arms that prevented the Vatican teams that came into contact with it from using their power properly. They were pushed like that and eventually had no choice but to be pushed out of the stadium.

Wow!!!!

Although we worked hard and prepared well, the result was an overtime loss for the Vatican team. The winner was the US national team.

“It’s a victory for the U.S. Team!!!!!”

“No, how could they do that?! It was like watching a movie with a giant robot!!!! If things continue like this, the U.S. Team will win this tournament!!!!”

Honestly, it’s quite high. Is it because you have talent in that field and have received separate training? He can control metals that weigh that much, and it looks like he hasn’t used his best yet.

An average person wouldn’t be able to do it even if given the same ability and strength, but if you see something like that, it might be because they used it efficiently. In any case, he is a promising player who is talented and capable enough to be appointed captain in the United States.

“A person with the power of his own fruit…!!!! Is this the worst generation!!!!”

“Eden, you can do it too if you apply your abilities.”

“That’s true, but it’s the first time I’ve actually seen someone do it. Moreover, to use that, you need metal, and I only use what I can use… Oh, wait a minute. I guess it’ll be okay if I make the metal by transmuting the material and then use it?”

“Oh.”

“I have to try it when I get home!!!!”

[You want to make a robot? It would be okay to make it and use it as Adam’s body.]

When Eden goes home again, he’s going to do something weird and make a fuss. I think they’re making something like a giant robot and riding it around…

There is something like that in the Horizon anyway, but it feels different when you make it yourself and ride it. I don’t know where I’ll use it, but honestly, it’s romantic and good, so let’s just do it. If it is difficult to keep it at home, you can leave it in the Garden of Eden.

Anyway, thanks to that ability, the American team was able to win the championship by beating the Vatican team and the German team that advanced to the finals. This is because even the German team could not hold back the power of Lucas, the captain of the U.S. National team.

I don’t know what they’ll do in the next competition, maybe they’ll use a different move, but at least right now, I can’t stop it. As a result, the U.S. National team was able to move up to the podium for the winner.

“In the end, America won. I’m 100% in the mood to cause trouble, but what do you think, Dad?”

“In that respect, the probability is the same for people with the same sense abilities.”

[After all, there are few things as fun as watching other people fight. What will happen?]

“No, don’t just say you’re going to watch the game out loud.”

The winner of this competition was the US national team. They came up to the stage, received the trophy, and let out a shout of victory.

If you look at them standing in a line without wearing any equipment, they look like a pretty multinational team. There are black people, white people, and a couple of yellow people. On the other hand, it appears that the U.S. Government has gathered people regardless of race to win this time.

And a reporter who was in the middle of covering the story held the microphone up to their captain and asked him how he felt about the victory.

“Lucas!!!! How do you feel about winning this competition!!!!!”

“Yes, well, it’s good. Although it takes a little bit.”

“It will take a while. What do you mean?”

“In the end, even if you win this competition, that’s all. Aren’t there many strong people in the world who didn’t participate in this competition?”

Then he glanced at me. If you look at that, you can get a rough idea of ​​what his nuance means.

I was wondering if there would be some kind of accident, but it was that. On the one hand, it was better because only I was involved, but it was also a nuisance. Fortunately, the solution is easy.

The reporter also noticed a hidden bone in his words and asked about it.

“Are you talking about the evil emperor or the heavenly demon?”

“Yes. I think the games they don’t participate in are just games and entertainment.”

“On the other hand, that could be a remark that made all the talented people who participated in this competition look like idiots who just put all their effort into playing. Is that okay?”

“I didn’t specifically mean to say that. No, rather, the conditions might be the same. Isn’t it strange that we gathered together to determine the world’s strongest person with special ability, or team of people with special ability, but the real strongest person didn’t show up?”〈 Br〉

Then he looked straight at me and said. It’s not just a fight, it’s a declaration of war.

Since he is speaking through a microphone, everything he says is heard by the audience here. Although they expressed displeasure at Lucas’ remarks, there were many more who found it interesting.

“What do you think, Emperor Hung? If you’ve been sitting there for so long, don’t you think you have something to show for it?”

In that bastard’s head, he must be thinking of either fighting me and becoming equal, or winning and taking Eden with him. Honestly, I haven’t shown much force externally.

On the contrary, some people may think it is a bubble. No, even in a sane modern society, there are people who believe in the flat earth theory or ridiculous conspiracy theories. How scary is it?

While thinking about what to do, I decided to match his rhythm. But I will decide the ending, not him.

I had someone else bring the microphone and similarly announced my opinion to the audience.

“If you want to start a fight like that, let’s fight. It also serves as a bonus stage. Cheobalajuma, you bastard.”

Waaaaa!!!!!!!!!!

A huge roar is heard. The most fun thing in the world is watching fire and watching a fight, and if it’s not your business, you can just relax and watch your own fight, and the opponents you fight are also the winners of the competition for talented people and evil demons.

Thanks to that, people’s reactions were understandably passionate. However, the confrontation does not take place right away.

“The duel will be tomorrow. You should get plenty of rest and come prepared. If you need anything, come prepared. Don’t make excuses when you lose.”

I said that and put down the microphone. People were very happy and made a fuss about the large-scale event that occurred out of nowhere.

Afterward, the talent contest itself was concluded, but the event was not over. Originally, I would have cleaned it up or something, but since I had to use it again the next day, I only did a simple cleaning.

“You’re talking about picking a fight with your dad, that guy is now behind you!!!!”

“…”

“Oh, Dad. You’re not really going to kill me, are you?”

“I’m thinking about what to do.”

The fight itself may seem like a simple thing to do, but I’m angry because it was aimed at Eden. If it had been anything else, he would have had an official image and just beat him up enough to make an asshole and be done with it, but that guy crossed the line.

Wouldn’t it be possible to just say that I made a mistake in controlling my strength and get away with it by killing him in one hit? I think it would be enough to confidently say that I didn’t think I would be able to withstand that level of controversy.

While I was seriously thinking about this, the U.S. Government also contacted me. Fortunately, this side understood the situation to some extent and knew what the reality was.

“I apologize in the name of the U.S. Government for what he accidentally caused.”

“It’s not an official apology, and I don’t know if it was just an accidental act or if the U.S. Government worked behind the scenes for image purposes. Do you think I’ll accept that apology?”

“It was something we hadn’t even thought about. We never thought he would challenge the Emperor to a duel… We apologize again for that rudeness. I’m truly sorry.”

Well, I know that he actually acted arbitrarily. Because there is nothing to see in a person who has fallen in love.

Saying that I am the strongest person with special abilities is not something he should consider. Moreover, since he is so confident and talented, he probably thinks it’s worth a try even if he’s a bad guy.

In fact, he is not a transcendental weaker than Eden, but is just a person with special abilities… This person who would be left behind by a missile bombing, not a nuclear bomb, causes a lot of trouble here and there.

“So what are you going to do?”

“I think the duel itself needs to happen first.”

“I knew so.”

Not only was this something said openly on an official basis, but there were also a huge number of people who saw it. No matter what we do, we cannot bury this incident.

The U.S. Government must be in trouble because a talented person with a promising future who needs to become a representative of the government and create a hero-like image caused such an accident. There is a saying that if you can’t avoid it, enjoy it, but this is going too far.

At least it’s not someone else, it’s me… I know how he feels when I see him come right away and apologize as if his foot was on fire.

Still, I won’t let that bastard go. No matter how much it was caused by illusion and misunderstanding, I have no intention of letting Eden go unscathed if he targeted me and made a fuss about me. We should at least set an example.

“I understand that what he did tarnished the reputation of the Emperor. I also did not come to request match-fixing. Just… Let his life be spared. The U.S. Government will not provide any compensation for him. I am willing.”

“Only life?”

“… If I were to be a little more greedy, I would ask that even if you get injured, you can recover at a level that is possible.”

“Write.”

It’s not that I don’t understand the other side’s position. On the one hand, having fought against a bad emperor can be an advantage in its own way, but from the point of view where you have to use it, if the person you fought turns out to be an asshole, it’s a waste of time.

Moreover, considering the equipment of the American team, an astronomical amount of money must have been spent to train them… So if they die, it will be a loss.

After thinking about what to do, I decided not to kill Eden while he was still there. Instead, I plan to make a mess of it.

“Eden, exactly what is the recovery power of the water’s essence? Ah, at a level where a complete cure is possible.”

“If you take it long-term, trauma is not a big problem. As long as you don’t die and your head is intact, you can treat everything.”

“Okay.”

If you don’t know that a one-day puppy is afraid of tigers, just give it a reason to be afraid.

First, let’s think about how to cook that guy so that the rumor goes that he was boiled so painfully.
