"Dad! Megure-san! Run! You all need to run!" Ran burst out from the crowd, shouting frantically at the police officers, her face full of anxiety.
Everyone turned to look at Ran, confused, 'Was this girl mixed up?'
'Shouldn't it be Nishikawa Makoto who needed to run?'
Nearby, Sonoko saw Moeha, who had just come out of the school building, and said urgently, "Moeha, come here! Quick!"
The Suzuki and Fujiwara Families were both top-tier families, one in business, one in politics, and their relationship had always been good. Sonoko and Fujiwara Moeha also got along well, so she was naturally worried about her safety.
Hearing this, Moeha quickly took Kei's hand and ran over.
"They're doomed."
Sonoko grabbed Moeha's hand tightly.
"Yeah, what a pity. That Nishikawa Makoto is quite handsome." Moeha nodded, her expression full of regret.
She was at the age where she cared a lot about looks.
Sonoko rolled her eyes internally. She was worried about the police!
Under the gaze of the crowd, Makoto slowly walked out of the school building.
With each step he took, an astonishing sense of oppression spread out, causing countless people at the scene to break out in cold sweat.
"We're going to die! We're going to die! Those people are all going to die!"
Saika clutched his head, his face full of terror.
It was as if he could already see the tragedy of the Konoha Crush Plan replaying in the real world.
Hachiman put an arm around his shoulder, unable to bear it, his gaze fixed intently on Makoto.
As Makoto approached step by step, the police officers holding their guns began to tremble uncontrollably.
An inexplicable fear welled up in their hearts.
They didn't know why themselves.
Finally, one officer could no longer bear the suffocating pressure. His fingers moved slightly, about to pull the trigger.
That man was the top sniper of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Mouri Kogoro.
But just at that critical moment, a figure suddenly rushed out from the side.
"No, Dad!"
Ran tackled her father to the ground, startling Megure Juzo, Sato Miwako, and the others nearby.
'When did this kid get here?'
Bang!
Even without Mouri Kogoro, someone else had already had their reason shattered by fear and pulled the trigger first.
At this moment, only one thought went through the minds of all the players: 'It's over!!'
Sure enough, just as the bullet was about to hit Makoto's forehead,
A flash of gray-black flame erupted from his body, forming a thick shield of fire that blocked the bullet.
Then, the burning gray-black flames swelled wildly, transforming into a colossal shadow that blotted out the sky and sun, finally coalescing into a gray-black skeletal giant like a demon descended from hell, standing tall on the campus of Shuchi'in Academy.
"What is that thing?!"
Watching the gray-black flames rising from the young man's body across from them twist and condense in the air, finally forming the upper half of a terrifying, hideous skeletal giant, Megure Juzo's eyes widened in disbelief as he exclaimed involuntarily.
Kogoro, who had just been tackled to the ground by his daughter, along with all the surrounding police officers, had faces filled with the same shock and bewilderment.
The veteran officers of the First Investigative Division instantly recalled the words of Eri, whom they had mocked severely the previous night.
'Su, superpowers? Could they... actually exist?'
As Makoto revealed his Susanoo, Saika, Eriri, and other players who were naturally timid tightly shut their eyes.
Although they had experienced bloody, brutal battles in the Naruto World and had matured considerably-
Honestly, while in the other world, they more or less still had a sense of being in a game, a god's-eye view.
That feeling of self-deception, "I'm not killing people, just NPCs."
It was completely different from killing someone in a game like [GTA] versus killing someone with your own hands in the real world.
Although the impact of fighting in the Naruto World couldn't be dismissed as lightly as in a game, compared to the real world before their eyes, especially the world where Eriri and the others had grown up, its shock value was still somewhat weaker.
As for Shinichi, Ito Makotou, Moeha, Kotonoha, and others who had never experienced the Reincarnation Game, they were already stiff all over, their minds blank.
At this moment, they finally understood completely why Makoto dared to walk openly on the streets after killing someone.
With monstrous power like this, who would fear the police!
Tomoya bit his lip hard, his knuckles white from tension, uncontrollably imagining himself inside that gray-black giant in place of Makoto.
"Do-don't kill anyone!"
Yukino, held tightly from behind by her sister, finally couldn't help but cry out.
"Sni, snipers!"
Megure Juzo finally managed to snap back from his shock and shouted to those around him.
They had already witnessed Makoto's terrifying speed, which was arguably the peak of human capability, so they had stationed snipers on high-rise buildings around the school in advance.
Initially, they thought they wouldn't need them, but now, seeing this, they regretted not deploying more.
Instantly, snipers atop several buildings hundreds of meters away all aimed their guns at the terrifying skeletal giant, their hands trembling uncontrollably.
'Wou, would it work?'
The snipers thought despairingly in their hearts, but at this moment, there was no turning back.
The next second, several snipers pulled their triggers simultaneously.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Heavy sniper rifles fired bullets capable of easily piercing steel plates, hurtling through the air with sharp whistles.
The Eternal Mangekyo in Makoto's eyes spun wildly, a playful smile curling at his lips. "Want to have a sniper duel?"
As he spoke, he manipulated Susanoo to raise its right hand and sweep it outward.
Over a dozen enormous magatama, each the size of an adult human body, instantly lined up perfectly, then in the next moment, shot forth all at once.
In an instant, each magatama collided precisely with an incoming bullet.
The scene of the collision was like a baby carriage crashing head-on into a hundred-ton truck. The bullets were utterly annihilated the moment they made contact.
Everyone watched helplessly as those flying magatama slammed into the roofs of the surrounding buildings.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A continuous series of explosions roared, and the high-rises around the school seemed to have been carpet-bombed with missiles.
The entire upper halves of the buildings exploded directly, collapsing with a roar. Vast plumes of smoke and dust soared skyward, nearly covering half of Tokyo's skies.
Countless pieces of debris rained down like a storm, and the entire city instantly plunged into tremendous panic.
Whether police, players, or onlooking students, everyone stood frozen, utterly dumbfounded.
'A, a monster!'
Ran, who had just stood up from the ground, was pale, her heart still pounding from the shock.
As the fear subsided, a sense of relief washed over her… if she hadn't stopped her father in time, he would have shared the fate of those snipers.
Yu, still in the classroom, looked at Makoto with increasingly fervent eyes.
'So this... was the new era?'
