----------------------------------------------------------
One of the incarnations of the Authority [War God of the East], the [White Horse], had its power greatly amplified after receiving the blessing of the [Solar Sovereignty of Leo].
At the same time, many of its restrictions were lifted-such as being usable only once per day and only against great sinners.
According to the saying "the white horse that carries the sun," it was theoretically capable of transporting one twenty-fifth of the sun to Earth.
Of course, that last point remained purely theoretical.
It had never been tested.
However, one fundamental factor had not changed.
The [White Horse] was still only an Authority. It had not transformed into a Divine Blessing, a Divine Status, or a Solar Sovereignty.
Even if its power expanded countless times, it still had no resistance against certain Authorities that could fundamentally negate light and the sun.
If confronted by such an Authority, it would still be nullified.
Not to mention the Authority "God said, 'Let there be light,'" which was directly connected to the One God of Christian mythology-God, Jehovah, Yahweh.
As for forcibly taking control of the [White Horse] from him, unless God, Allah, or an entity of comparable level personally intervened, it was impossible.
There was no need to even mention Gods who were bound by birth, aging, sickness, death, and annihilation.
"Well, in that case, I won't be able to use Verethragna's Authority when I fight Perseus later either."
Looking at the majestic white lion in the sky, which dissipated with clear unwillingness, Hiro seized the moment while Michael's attention lapsed.
He fully activated his [Mental Out], whose strength was infinitely greater than Shokuhou Misaki's.
The force of the manipulation invaded the depths of Michael's consciousness.
There, within Michael's memories, Hiro found a pair of eyes filled with wisdom and kindness.
Coincidentally, they met his gaze.
From a broader perspective, it belonged to a male figure with a white beard several tens of centimeters long.
Golden eyes. Long, curly white hair. On the surface, he looked like an ordinary old man.
But as Hiro's consciousness delved deeper, the old man's appearance gradually seemed to grow younger.
The white beard and hair began to change.
Seeing this, Hiro's consciousness jolted.
He immediately skipped over this portion of Michael's memories.
"This old man... could he be the 'My Lord' Michael keeps speaking of? Is that image simply how God's existence appears, or was He prepared in advance, or is it influenced by my own consciousness?"
Skipping this segment, Hiro continued browsing.
A fruit tree and vines that perpetually bore fruit.
Flowers that never withered.
The Garden of Eden, crossed by four rivers, already devoid of any human figures.
At the center of Eden stood a seemingly ordinary apple tree.
Angels with two, four, six, and even twelve wings flew through Heaven, each performing their duties.
"My Lord..."
Above, Michael seemed to have made his decision.
In the portion of his consciousness that Hiro had not yet completely corrupted, he resolved himself and began to recite a spiritual word.
"I offer this body to You."
Hiro:
Jeanne d'Arc?
Hearing this, Hiro looked up at the handsome, golden-haired man and blinked twice.
While maintaining his spiritual corruption of Michael, he completely lost interest in continuing to browse his memories.
Spiritual words that used "offering the body" as their premise reminded him of a certain self-sacrificing maiden from the Campione! world, as well as a certain intruder from the High School DxD world.
The former's offering was a broken-level Noble Phantasm.
The latter's Logos was a broken-level magic that could forcibly send him several years into the future.
"Your child, Michael, has encountered a vicious enemy here."
The spiritual words continued.
Although Hiro did not know what Authority Michael intended to activate, he had no habit of patiently waiting for someone to finish charging their ultimate move.
The blood-red [Twin-Bladed Spear] locked onto the center of Michael's forehead.
It easily broke the sound barrier.
In less than half a second, it pierced straight through Michael's brow, leaving a clean hole from front to back, with various contents seeping out.
Michael did not blink.
He did not resist or intercept.
Even after a massive hole was opened through his forehead, his speech remained smooth and steady.
"Please demonstrate Your power. For Your child, for me, Michael, kill the enemy before me. After this, I will return to Your side, continue to listen to Your teachings, behold Your glory, and govern Your Kingdom."
"...."
Hiro glanced at the [Reincarnation Cursed Power], which bore the image of a twelve-winged angel, as well as the newly appeared Authority marked with a hand icon in the System item bar.
Then he looked back at the twelve-winged angel in the sky, still calmly reciting the spiritual words.
He was speechless.
What was going on?
The activation of the [Great Reincarnation Cursed Technique] clearly indicated that Michael was dead.
The appearance of the [Reincarnation Cursed Power] and the Authority was conclusive proof.
Yet the twelve-winged figure above, still reciting the spiritual words, stood clearly within his field of vision.
Faced with this contradiction, Hiro's first thought was simple.
This damned System messed up again.
As the thought flashed through his mind, Hiro raised his right hand.
The [White Lion], which had previously been nullified by Michael's "God said, 'Let there be light,'" reappeared.
This time, it did not hesitate.
It dove down immediately and, in the next second, engulfed Michael completely, reducing the entire twelve-winged figure to ashes.
Michael vanished from Hiro's [Observation Haki].
His [Mental Out] detected no consciousness, no thoughts, no soul ahead.
From every perspective, the Simulacrum Dei Michael was utterly and completely dead, having fully returned to myth.
In other words, this outcome should not have been a System error.
It was the effect of Michael's Authority-"offer this body."
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
The opening line of the Gospel of John served as the spiritual word.
Even now, after Michael's death, the recitation did not stop.
"Damn it. What the hell is happening?"
Hiro's right eyelid twitched violently.
A deeply ominous premonition surged in his heart, as though some fatal danger was rapidly closing in.
The source of the crisis was everywhere.
It came from all directions at once.
There was no way to evade.
No way to dodge.
No way to block.
His consciousness swept through the System item bar in an instant.
Hiro found an item he had obtained long ago-[Random Teleportation Card (10 li)].
Gripping the small card in his right hand, he activated it without hesitation.
In the next moment, the scene before his eyes shifted abruptly-from the outskirts of Rome's classical Western architecture to an endless, boundless ocean.
After activating Observation Haki, Hiro confirmed his position.
He was nearly five kilometers away from the nearest port.
Compared to his previous location, he had traveled almost a hundred kilometers in a straight line, nearly maximizing the card's range.
And yet, Michael's voice still followed him like a shadow.
"My Lord, have mercy."
At the very last moment, "Michael's" voice subtly changed.
"Granted."
If Michael's original voice had been that of a man in his early twenties, those final two words belonged to an aged man filled with wisdom.
And yet, upon careful listening, it shifted again-into the voice of a youth, then a child.
This exact kind of change was something Hiro had encountered less than a minute ago within Michael's memories.
"Damn it... Jehovah is actually going to fight personally!!!"
Looking up at the sky, now thick with dark clouds as if a torrential storm-or the apocalypse itself-was about to descend, Hiro couldn't help but curse aloud.
