----------------------------------------------------------
The attack launched after Michael's offering was cylindrical, an extinction-type damage that covered a vast area, with a radius exceeding two hundred kilometers, centered on Hiro's approximate previous location.
To put two hundred kilometers into perspective: the island of Sardinia, where he had been staying a few days ago, was erased by only a small portion of it. Italy's mainland lost nearly one-tenth of its territory.
Within that area, Rome contributed half of its mass. Naples contributed three-quarters. The Vatican transformed from a landlocked theocratic state into an island theocratic state.
Yes. Literally an island state.
Furthermore, whether it was God's "conscience," or whether God simply understood concepts like foundations, bedrock, and collapse, a large area of solid rock was deliberately left beneath the Vatican's territory. This prevented the Pope from suddenly announcing the nation's annihilation one day-or even the next minute.
Not only that, a void appeared in the ocean. Its radius was two hundred kilometers, with a conservative depth of four thousand meters, carved straight out of the middle of the sea.
The Vatican was the only exception.
How much seawater would need to rush in from the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean, and even the Red Sea-connected through the Suez Canal-to fill such a massive ocean void?
How great a storm would it cause? How large an earthquake? How high a tsunami?
At the very least, within Hiro's perception, most of the landmasses of France, Sicily, and Italy had become scenes from a post-apocalyptic, world-ending natural disaster.
Yes. The Vatican was still the only exception.
Leaving aside casualties, not a single building, car, or even a balcony flowerpot in the Vatican had been damaged.
However, having suddenly become an island nation, most ordinary residents found themselves unable to travel due to the lack of transportation.
As a result, almost everyone rushed toward the central basilica for shelter.
They were completely unaware that the culprit who had put them in this predicament was their "Lord."
"So Jehovah knows how to spare his own people too."
Swimming naked in the lightless deep sea, Hiro used his Haki to perceive the outside world and muttered inwardly.
"No. Or maybe I should say... innocent people."
Because in his perception, outside Jehovah's strike range, large groups of bewildered people of all races had been gathered together-by the thousands, tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands.
Seeing this, Hiro immediately understood the thinking of that old man, Jehovah.
He wasted an unknown amount of energy just to kill him once.
After triggering a nation-destroying super disaster, He also conveniently transported the affected ordinary people and magicians to a safe location.
Judging by the time required for the seawater to refill, and by the undisturbed sea surface above, a considerable amount of time must have passed since Hiro used [Phoenix's Protection] to return from death.
The evidence was simple.
The sky, which had been in the afternoon, was now firmly nighttime.
Also, nearly fifty kilometers to the east, two figures-one gold, one silver-were flying rapidly over the sea, searching anxiously for something.
"Lili, did your spiritual sight find anything in this area?"
Erica, looking slightly distressed, shouted toward Liliana not far away.
"No!"
Liliana shouted back, her tone thick with impatience.
"In a place where absolutely nothing remains, what do you expect me to use to activate my spiritual sight? You could at least give me one of His Majesty's private belongings! As the First Knight, do you not even have something that small?"
What am I supposed to do?
Even as the First Knight, I only got the position a little over a day ago.
Moreover, there's a local wife and a loyal maid by Hiro's side.
Complaining inwardly with a trace of resentment, Erica knew now was not the time to argue and didn't pursue the topic.
If Hiro died, the Bronze Black Cross, which had never sworn allegiance to him, would not be greatly affected.
However, the Silver Black Cross-already manipulated by Hiro-would not submit to any other Demon King.
Once targeted by a Campione, or targeted because of her, they would inevitably be annihilated.
She had already informed the Silver Black Cross personnel to search for Hiro in the sea area.
By now, they should be approaching from another direction.
"Hiro... you couldn't have died young like this, could you?"
"I just became your Knight, completed my first mission, and haven't even had a chance to ask for a reward."
"Moreover, you stole a maiden's first kiss and think you can just leave?"
"Hiro. Your Majesty. God Slayer. You scoundrel."
Relying on the relatively bright moonlight and her enhanced vision, Erica scanned the sea surface while muttering softly.
Her expression remained serious and composed, showing no obvious weakness.
Yet anyone paying close attention could hear the sadness beneath her voice.
Splash.
A faint sound of water failed to draw Erica's attention.
Slap.
Only when a cold object-something unmistakably like a hand-grabbed her left ankle did her expression completely collapse.
"A-Aghhh-!!"
Screaming loudly, Erica didn't even look at what had seized her.
She summoned the rapier [Leonhart] in her right hand and slashed downward in panic.
"Erica! What happened to you!"
Hearing the scream from afar, Liliana immediately abandoned her search, drew her Knight Sword, and rushed over.
However, Erica's rapier, which struck the unknown target, was easily blocked.
Then it was clamped in place.
100% Unarmed Catch.
Whoosh.
Hiro poked his head out of the water and looked up at the girl's delicate face-slightly embarrassed, but far more surprised.
He smiled faintly and asked in a teasing tone,
"Erica, you just called me a scoundrel, and then you drew your blade against your Lord."
"Are you planning to betray me?"
