I'm doing abstract animation

Aizen frowned as he stared at the sphere of light beneath his feet, its surface adorned with a dazzling array of cosmic stars.

He was already highly intelligent, and considering the parallel worlds we just discussed, he quickly came up with an answer after a little thought.

"Is the world not inside this sphere of light, but floating on its surface?"

"Bin dog!"

Yuki snapped his fingers and glanced at him with some surprise.

This person's ability to accept information is extraordinary; they deduced the truth so quickly.

"That's right. The world is like a painting, existing on the surface of the sphere of light. Beneath this painting are countless overlapping paintings, and those paintings are parallel worlds."

With a wave of their hands, the illusion vanished, and the two stood once again high in the sky.

"Traveling to parallel worlds can be considered both easy and difficult."

"As long as we can get through the black hole, that's fine."

Aizen: "..."

Passing through a black hole...

He was a teacher after all, and he had some understanding of modern knowledge. He knew exactly what a black hole was.

That kind of thing is probably only something someone of Yuki Osamu's caliber could get his hands on, right?

Noticing Aizen's gaze, Yuuki said irritably, "Don't look at me like that. Strength doesn't always mean everything. Even if I wanted to cross a black hole, it would be very troublesome."

Is it just troublesome?

Aizen nodded thoughtfully, indicating his understanding of Yuuki's words.

Strength doesn't always mean everything, and the world is far more complex than it seems. For example, the Milky Way is just a grain of sand in the universe.

No matter how strong an individual is, they cannot truly compare to a world.

Yuuki Risa took him to the other world using a trick; he hadn't forgotten that Yuuki Risa had pulled out a card when she took him there...

Aizen himself admitted that he couldn't traverse a black hole, and he couldn't even destroy Neon as easily as the Cloaked Man. But he deserves a five-colored rating. This doesn't just refer to how strong he is, but includes everything about him, such as his thinking, wisdom, and even his future growth potential. Only then can he receive a five-colored rating.

P.S.: As usual, there will be another chapter this afternoon.

A City of Ghosts and Monsters: Chapter Seventy-Seven - Successful Sneak Attack

"W-what are you saying...?"

The truth revealed by the cloaked figure was so cruel that the group didn't even have time to react until Kasumigaoka Utaha questioned her in a trembling voice, at which point everyone showed an expression of disbelief.

"Think about it carefully, you fools. Everything you've come into contact with, everything you know, I told you... no, I should have told Shinomiya first, and then she told you one by one."

The cloaked figure sneered twice: "You don't think I don't know your little tricks?"

"Aren't you often puzzled as to why seven seemingly unrelated people can always evoke a strange sense of closeness?"

"Because your power all comes from the same source, and I personally delivered it into your bodies."

"If you guys had listened to me properly, I might have considered letting you go. But you were blinded by this short-term increase in power. Well, I guess I have no choice but to deal with you."

"After all, obedient dogs are easy to find."

The cloaked man's ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness were on full display at this moment. They had spent several years getting along with each other, but now he was just abandoning them like that.

Hiding in the shadows, Gokou Ruri stared in disbelief. She wondered if she would be furious if she were in that situation...

"So, all those things that happened to us were orchestrated by you?"

Hachiman Hikigaya, now recovered, glared at the cloaked figure through gritted teeth: "And all that talk about humanity and bestiality was just something you made up?!"

"No, not really. I haven't interfered too much in your plight. After all, there are so many parallel worlds, and there are bound to be a few with tragic fates. At most, I've planted the seeds of the Seven Deadly Sins in you. As for the issue of humanity and bestiality, it's true. An imbalance in either will cause your personality and emotions to lean towards the dominant side." The cloaked figure shook his head, then paused. "However, in order to better control you, I've always guided your bestiality to outweigh your humanity. Recently, I haven't paid attention to you, and hasn't your humanity grown?"

"After all, as long as there is no deliberate guidance or any trouble, humanity and animality will gradually reach a balance."

"But it's nothing, is it?"

"You guys seem to be enjoying yourselves quite a bit, don't you?"

Enjoy your fucking fun!

Ah!

Is this something a human could do?!

The faces of the seven men were all flushed red. It's no exaggeration to say that, until today, they didn't even realize they were human...

"You...you..." Kaguya Shinomiya was almost incoherent: "Was our exile to another dimension also your doing?"

The cloaked figure thought for a moment, then nodded seriously: "That should be it."

What the hell is this?

Before anyone could ask a question, he began to explain: "To be precise, you in the parallel universe will not be exiled by the main world, because the parallel universe itself is the greatest exile. It's just that you were exiled because I brought you from the parallel universe to the main world. Do you understand what I mean?"

I don't understand you at all...

The group was furious. They understood what the cloaked man meant. They should have been able to stay peacefully in their own world, even after gaining supernatural powers. But because the cloaked man brought them to the main world, they were exiled...

This is...this is too tragic...

Even Ruri Gokou, who was quietly observing from the shadows, couldn't help but feel sorry for the seven-person group. This was practically torture for them...

"Even so, why can't we live in the real world?" Yukino Yukinoshita from the alternate dimension asked through gritted teeth, "We even have to eat people from the real world to survive?"

It's not hard to tell from her tone that she still harbors a tiny bit of hope.

If the past was all a lie, then their very existence would be denied.

Even if it confirms that she is a monster, she is willing to accept it. For her, what is more terrifying than being a monster is the meaningless past.

"Oh, that's normal. After all, you're from a parallel world, so it's normal for the main world to reject you. It's just that the ending is a little different from what I told you."

The cloaked figure said somewhat embarrassedly, "Ordinary monsters from other dimensions would indeed be exiled back to another dimension if they didn't eat, but for you, not eating would at most just mean being sent back to your own parallel universe."

…………

"So, in other words, if we hadn't eaten, we would have already returned to our own world, right?" Kawasaki Saki's face turned pale. "So, all along, we've actually been moving in the opposite direction?"

"If that's your understanding, then it's not wrong."

"asshole!"

"what!"

"Son of a bitch!"

……

The group of seven could no longer tolerate it and began to curse. Sadly, having been out of touch with normal society for so long, they didn't even have many words for swearing.

"Alright, alright, stop cursing. You yourselves are a tragedy. I even gave you the power to resist, so in that respect I've already done a good deed." The cloaked man picked at his ear and raised his hand impatiently: "Since you're so dissatisfied, then I'll give you your release."

Strands of black energy gathered in his hands, transforming into seven sharp spears that pointed directly at the seven people hanging in the air.

The threat of death ultimately outweighed their anger. The seven men stared in despair at the spear that was about to pierce their chests, their angry words stuck in their throats.

Begging for mercy was useless; they knew perfectly well that now that the cloaked figures had revealed the truth, they would never spare them.

At this point, all they could do was pray, pray that someone would save them...

But would such a thing really happen?

They were desperate because they knew no one would come to their rescue.

Just like what they encountered in their own world, they prayed to the heavens in despair, only to be answered by themselves in the end...

In retrospect, even the response at that time was orchestrated by the cloaked figure before us.

Their lives were nothing but tragedies.

What else can they hope for?

"Hey!"

Just as the black spears were about to pierce out, a delicate shout rang out, and countless silk threads almost instantly bound the seven spears tightly.

At the point where the silk threads were joined, Yui Yuigahama's hands were tightly bound by countless silk threads, and from her posture, it was clear that she wanted to fling the spear away!

However, 'It's so heavy...'

The veins on her arms, which were wrapped in silk threads, bulged out, and her muscles bulged abnormally from exerting all her strength, making her body look a size larger.

'I can't pull it...'

Even with all her might, the seven spears remained firmly suspended in the air, motionless.

"Yui, I'm here to help you!"

With another delicate shout, a golden figure arrived beside her as fast as lightning, firmly grasping her hands with strong, powerful hands.

It's Yumiko Miura!

She was originally observing from Tokyo Tower, but as her cell phone signal was restored, the live stream notification prompted her to rush over here immediately.

She had been lying in wait, observing silently, but now that Yui Yuigahama had taken action, she followed suit.

With their combined strength, the seven spears seemed to loosen slightly.

Hope flickered in the eyes of the seven, but it quickly turned into despair once again.

Because the cloaked figure was looking at the two of them.

"Oh, the little mouse has finally decided to come out?"

His right eyelid twitched almost imperceptibly, and then he stretched out his hands toward the two of them.

"Little mice should stay in dark corners..."

Invisible darkness gathered in his hands.

呲呲呲!

Just then, countless shadows erupted from beneath the cloaked figure, transforming into dense chains of shadow that firmly bound him, successfully interrupting the cloaked figure's attack.

Ruri Gokou emerged from the ruins, her face deathly pale, her hands clenched tightly together, her slender white knuckles now red from the force.

"Quickly, now!"

She shouted loudly.

"Ahhhh!"

Upon hearing this, Yui Yuigahama and Yumiko Miura exerted their strength together, their beautiful faces now contorted in a ferocious grimace.

Bo~

With a soft sound, the seven spears seemed to break free from some kind of restraint, instantly being flung into the sky and disappearing into the horizon as black meteors.

This is not over yet!

As the spear was flung, a dazzling white light flashed in the air.

The camera in the live stream was somehow pulled extremely far away, and everyone watching the live stream witnessed a scene they would never forget.

A giant white dragon hung upside down in the sky, with holy white light constantly gathering in its mouth.

Finally, the white light transformed into a massive torrent of energy, crashing down from the sky and striking the bound cloaked figure.

boom!

A tremendous roar swept through the entire live stream room, and the dazzling white light blinded countless viewers.

When the white light dissipated, all that remained where the cloaked figure had been was a deep pit at least thirty or forty meters in diameter, while the cloaked figure had vanished without a trace.

"D-Did it succeed?"

The dragon plummeted, transforming into Komi Shoko as it approached the ground, crouching on the ground and panting heavily.

Her face was deathly pale, and her whole body was trembling uncontrollably, clearly indicating that she had exhausted a great deal of energy.

"As expected, even with this, I still can't use the Gale Bullet..."

Ruri Gokou approached her shakily, and Shoko Komi noticed that her hands were noticeably swollen.

"You hit her, Shoko-nee."

Although her face was contorted in pain, her tone was noticeably more relaxed.

Yes...it did hit.
