"Speaking of which, there were earlier reports claiming that Amane Shinomiya's ability isn't foreseeing the future, but rather making wishes co true."
"What's this all of a sudden, old man Kaieda? That can't possibly be true, right!"
"It's nothing. This old man just suddenly recalled that the sources exposing Sara and Shinomiya ca from the sa origin."
"Hahaha, you're overthinking it! If such an ability truly existed, wouldn't it be practically omnipotent? Making the moon fall would be effortless! A Blazer like that couldn't possibly remain hidden—after all, humans have desires!"
"Hmm, you do have a point... It's just that Amane Shinomiya won his previous two matches without fighting, and I heard all six of his simulated battles at Kyomon Academy also ended without confrontation... It makes this old man a bit uneasy."
"Uh, please don't scare like that..."
"I don't an to frighten anyone. Perhaps there's another reason."
On the comntator's platform, Kaieda paused, ultimately swallowing his doubts.
Whether this information was true or false, speaking it aloud would only cause unnecessary panic.
Even if Amane Shinomiya were to cause trouble, Yasha-hi was present to handle it.
As a demon, she could evade causal interference.
"I just wonder if the Sword God can defeat him..."
Kaieda worried silently.
No matter what, nothing must happen to the Sword God.
Otherwise, the entire alliance would be shaken to its core.
...
"HAHAHAHAHA! How dare you say that!"
Countless caras were now focused on the two figures in the arena.
Though the distance was too great to capture audio, through the lenses, everyone saw Amane Shinomiya burst into scornful laughter.
"Do you truly believe that just because you've mastered the world's strongest sword technique, you're invincible?"
A mocking smirk curled at the corner of Amane Shinomiya's lips.
"Indeed, I was frightened by you earlier, but when it cos down to it, my ability has no weaknesses! Activating it requires nothing more than a single thought, and Lady Luck always favors . Even your ability is useless against it!"
That's right.
The power to make wishes co true is practically invincible.
With just a thought, the world revolves around his will.
Not just sword techniques—even an ability like Absolute GodSpeed would likely prove futile.
Not because the ability couldn't be activated.
But because no one would know when his ability had already taken effect.
If he had already decided the outco with a single thought before even stepping onto the stage, then no amount of speed would matter!
Because the world itself would use countless coincidences to block attacks and pave the way to his victory!
To call his ability peerless in the world would be no exaggeration!
Unless one reached the realm described by that expired loli, it would be impossible to defeat him in a direct confrontation!
However, that was all in the past.
"Care to test that theory?"
A contemptuous smile spread across Eiji's face.
It was as if he no longer saw Amane Shinomiya as a threat, as if he had already surpassed him.
"Heh, as you wish!"
A frigid expression settled on Amane Shinomiya's face.
At this point, he could no longer be bothered to maintain his facade.
He would use this battle to bring this enjoyable journey to its conclusion!
"If you take pride in your swordsmanship, then I'll just make it so you can't even swing your blade!"
He pretended to ponder for a mont, then revealed a malicious grin.
"—!"
In the blink of an eye.
A gleaming silver longsword shot toward him like a flash of light.
Unimpeded.
Without the slightest hesitation.
If this strike landed, Amane Shinomiya's head would be separated from his body!
Eiji's killing intent was utterly unconcealed!
Beside them, Shinguuji Kurono had been holding her breath since the start of the battle, nervously tracking Eiji's movents.
"Ah!"
But Amane Shinomiya suddenly let out a startled cry.
His foot slipped, and he tumbled to the ground.
He looked flustered and disoriented, even his own face filled with confusion.
Yet, by sheer coincidence, he managed to dodge this first strike!
It truly seed like nothing more than good luck!
Incredible!
Eiji's sword speed was unimaginably fast—so fast that an ordinary person wouldn't even have ti to react before being struck by the blade.
Yet, he had managed to evade it purely by chance?
A miracle with odds of one in a hundred million had occurred right before their eyes!
Second strike!
Eiji's expression sharpened. Undeterred, he swung his sword down toward Amane's head!
Amane was lying on the ground—there was no way to dodge this blow!
"Boom!"
At that mont, a thunderous roar suddenly erupted.
Eiji's instincts scread in warning. He imdiately abandoned Amane Shinomiya and leaped back several steps.
The next instant, a bolt of lightning struck down from the clear sky!
It landed precisely where Eiji had been standing monts before!
The electric sparks scattered, coincidentally avoiding Amane Shinomiya on the ground.
"What just happened?"
"Where did that lightning co from on such a clear day?"
Whispers of confusion rippled through the audience stands.
As they puzzled over it, the sunlight in the arena suddenly dimd.
Dark clouds gathered from all directions, swiftly blotting out the sun. The world grew dark, as if twilight had fallen prematurely.
A cold wind began to blow, and raindrops started falling from the sky.
In re seconds, the entire bay city underwent a dramatic teorological shift!
"I didn't hear about any rain today!"
"Dammit, since when is the weather forecast so unreliable?"
The audience, drenched by the sudden downpour, cursed in frustration.
"Hey, Edel, did you see that just now?"
In the stands.
Nangou Torajirou widened his eyes in disbelief, staring intently at the battlefield.
"Yes, he wasn't affected by the causality interference!"
Edelweiss was also stunned, her usual composure completely gone.
"He's clearly not a Devil, so how could he evade Amane's ability interference?"
Unbelievable!
Sothing only a Devil should be capable of, yet Eiji had achieved it through a different ans!
"Hahahaha! Edel, it seems the threat you ntioned isn't as great as you thought!"
Nangou Torajirou laughed heartily.
Though he didn't understand how it was possible, the kid had undoubtedly given him a trendous surprise!
As a result, the battle had shifted from the predicted overwhelming disadvantage to an evenly matched contest, racing toward an unpredictable outco.
Still, it was a bit of a pity.
He had hoped the kid would break through to the Devil realm under the pressure from Amane Shinomiya, but now it seed impossible.
"...I'm truly astonished."
Edelweiss sighed in amazent.
On the battlefield.
"The interference against didn't work."
Eiji confird this fact.
In that case, the reason he could dodge it was—
"The world is protecting him!"
I see.
To win the match, aside from suppressing Eiji, there was also the thod of strengthening Amane Shinomiya!
When interference had no effect on him, fate naturally had no choice but to continuously shield Amane Shinomiya.
"Let's see how long fate can protect you!"
Eiji's gaze turned icy as he swung his sword and closed in once more!
