While Makoto Aoki was explaining the setting under a pseudonym, a small disturbance occurred on Oda Nobunaga's side. After all, not everyone was paying attention to Rider. In Japan, Oda Nobunaga's fame far exceeded that of the unknown Rider.

This puts even more pressure on Nino Nakano.

Nino Nakano's face turned deathly pale, her whole body trembling. Her slender legs could barely support her body. The malicious words cut into her body like swords, and the sharp eyes seemed to tear her clothes off, leaving her standing there naked with nowhere to hide.

She desperately wanted to face it all, to straighten her back, because she had done nothing wrong! Yet, she still trembled with fear.

Ultimately, no matter how strong or resilient she is, she is still just an ordinary high school girl, and she hasn't yet developed the ability to disregard the opinions of others.

Not to mention, the blatant stares from men and the jealous looks from women are hurtful to any woman.

Just as Nakano Nino was about to break down and scream and cry, a blood-red shadow blocked her way.

Nino Nakano raised her head.

Oda Nobunaga tossed his blood-red cloak, and the resulting blood-red curtain completely obscured Nakano Nino.

"Silence."

The demonic red of blood and flame swept over everyone below the stage, and wherever his gaze fell, everyone shut their mouths and lowered their heads in obedience.

This is the Sixth Heaven Demon King, the demon king who slayed gods and Buddhas.

He declared in a cold voice.

"Anyone who utters such arrogant words again will be executed without mercy!"

Without a doubt, he was protecting the girl behind him, and his sharp killing intent could even cut others.

Everyone knows this is no joke; if anyone dares to gossip again, they will truly become the ghosts of Hasebe's men.

Therefore, those who appear respectable on the surface but are full of malice in private lower their heads obediently, and no matter how much they curse in their hearts, they dare not say a word.

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Nino Nakano's tears fell instantly. If you can hold on when you're alone, you become incredibly vulnerable when someone stands beside you and protects you without any reason.

Because you know there will be someone to support you, you don't need to show off or protect your pitiful self-esteem.

She threw herself behind Oda Nobunaga, wrapped her arms around his waist, and sobbed softly. Her tears soaked the fabric of the young man's clothes, but his back did not waver for a moment.

Nino Nakano knew she was finished.

Oda Nobunaga was not quite aware of the complex emotions Nakano Nino was going through, and even if he had, he wouldn't have cared.

To be honest, even if he had brought out a dog, Oda Nobunaga would have protected it. In short, why should anyone question Oda Nobunaga's actions throughout his life?

Those gossipy fellows were clearly provoking Oda Nobunaga, and the fact that he didn't go on a killing spree on the spot already shows that his temper has improved.

Those people dared not offend Oda Nobunaga, thinking they were attacking a weakling like Nakano Nino, but they didn't realize that if they cursed Oda Nobunaga himself, he wouldn't care.

Oda Nobunaga tolerated the hostility of the people and the resentment of others. Just as he was denounced as an enemy of Buddhism and cursed as a demon king after burning down Enryaku-ji Temple on Mount Hiei, he never cared because the people were ignorant and could not understand Oda Nobunaga's ideas. The monks occupied too many resources and were arrogant and rude. It would be strange if Oda Nobunaga did not take action against them.

However, Oda Nobunaga would never allow these fools to distort his decision and attack his retainers with baseless accusations... What, do they really think that Oda Nobunaga wouldn't kill anyone?

"How terrifying!! I wasn't even there, but I almost couldn't breathe!"

"That's the real Oda Nobunaga, the one historically known as the Demon King! I'm not kidding!"

"Seriously, is it really a good thing that Oda Nobunaga came to the modern era? And he's so strong!"

"I have a feeling he'll cause a huge uproar... Never mind, I've already worked myself to the bone. I'm begging Nobunaga to hang our boss on a lamppost! I'm kneeling before him!"

"Graduate students are begging Nobunaga to blow up the school, or just destroy it because he's tired."

"Hey, what are you guys talking about? This is no joke!"

"Don't worry too much, I don't believe he can withstand modern weaponry!"

"Don't worry, it won't get any worse. After all, things up there are already in a terrible state."

"...Why are you speaking such obvious truths?"

It must be said that after Oda Nobunaga truly demonstrated his threat, online comments became much calmer and were no longer dominated by those who only cared about looks.

Of course, those who prioritize appearance are still active.

"I'm so envious..."

"Yes, me too..."

"Waaaaah, did that woman save the galaxy in her past life?"

Despite the continued activity online, no one dared to utter a sound at the scene. After all, everyone could see the ruins of the stadium behind Oda Nobunaga, and no one would be foolish enough to provoke him at this time. Ultimately, only a minority of people are willing to risk their lives.

"Please calm down, Lord Nobunaga." Rider slowly approached, slightly toning down the frivolous expression on his face. Aoki Makoto, hidden beneath his disguise, knew that Oda Nobunaga could truly kill someone if he wasn't careful. He could, of course, control him, but generally, he wouldn't interfere in order to maximize the Servant's power.

Oda Nobunaga remained silent, surveying the audience below the stage once more with his blood-red eyes.

“I allow hatred towards me, but I will never tolerate insults or questioning—remember this well, otherwise…do you want to become skeletons too?”

"We were wrong, Lord Nobunaga."

"I'm sorry, I was just talking nonsense."

"I was just talking nonsense, I'm really sorry."

Under such overwhelming pressure, these were just ordinary people who quickly backed down and apologized. Their faces showed no trace of the vicious words they had just used to describe an innocent girl.

Oda Nobunaga turned his head and asked Nakano Nino, who was almost pressed against his back.

What about you? What's your opinion?

Nino Nakano trembled slightly, and she raised her head, her eyes still a little red.

She wiped her eyes hard with her sleeve, pretending to be nonchalant: "It doesn't matter."

Although she wasn't entirely unangry, Nakano Nino didn't want to cause trouble for Oda Nobunaga.

At this moment, Nakano Nino almost ignored everyone else, her mind and eyes were completely focused on Oda Nobunaga in front of her, and she could no longer see anyone else.

Because she is such a straightforward girl, she will say what she likes without considering anything else.

"They don't seem to care."

"As long as I believe... that you don't think I'm like that, that's fine." Nakano Nino originally wanted to call out Nobunaga, but too many people called him that, so she changed her mind halfway through.

However, Oda Nobunaga didn't seem to care at all; he simply nodded and said, "Then let's leave it at that."

"So……"

Oda Nobunaga gazed at the audience, but everyone watching the live stream felt as if the infamous Sixth Heaven Demon King was staring right at them.

"I am the Sixth Demon King, Oda Nobunaga—"

A maniacal voice rang in everyone's ears, and the demonic red of the Demon King's blood and fire filled everyone's vision.

"He's returned from hell!"

"You will all remember my posture!"

Oda Nobunaga stood in front of the camera, announcing to the entire nation that he was back!

His aura and power deeply shocked everyone. That's right, this was the real Sixth Heaven Demon King, who almost seized the world and ended the Warring States period under Oda Nobunaga.

The image and declaration of the Sixth Demon King were also captured on the cover of every newspaper—

"The spirits of heroes descend upon the world—"

Oda Nobunaga: I will once again achieve the unification of Japan by force!

Incidentally, the other headline was—

"Apocalyptic crisis? Is humanity already on its last legs?!"
