◇Kai’s Point of View

Arnold Alteus is the strongest in the United States, and thus, the strongest in the world. I’ve seen his overwhelming violence on foreign programs.

They say, he alone is as strong as a hundred S-Rank.

They say, even the US military would lose to him alone.

They say, there is no way to stop him, not even the President of America can do anything but plead.

There is no law before him, no walls before him. Not a single defeat, not even a scratch on his invincible body, no struggle in his battles.

The 『Transcendent』, even the S-Rank called gods are nothing to him, he is supreme above heaven and earth. There are only five forces in the world that can compete with him. An existence that surpasses the limit of the magic power meter, 999,999.

His nickname is Tyrant.

Fortunately for humanity, he has no desire to rule the world. He simply wants to live as he wishes. The United States spends all kinds of wealth to keep him happy.

In return, they ask him for favors. If he doesn’t listen, it’s just a suggestion. But he won’t listen to minor requests.

So, they ask him to annihilate targets. That was the most suitable request for him.

If he takes action, he will, without fail, complete the mission. Even the mission to annihilate the S-Rank cube dungeon all by himself.

That’s the strongest awakened in the United States, the tyrant 『Arnold Alteus』.

The strongest came because of a request from the President.

Japan asked the United States. They wanted to be saved from the God-Destruction Cult, which continued to inflict catastrophic damage on Tokyo.

And the United States made a request. They asked Arnold to annihilate the God-Destruction Cult. The God-Destruction Cultists never speak, no matter how much they are tortured when captured. They are fanatics who would resort to suicide bombings.

There is no cage in the world that can safely hold an S-Rank.

So, the only option was to kill them.

So, the strongest country in the world made a request to the strongest tyrant.

*

President: 『Kill the God-Destruction Cult, leave no one alive.』

*

And this was the result.

Arnold: 『HEY, JAPANESE. Move out of the way. Presidents order.　‘Kill the God-Destruction Cult’.』

Arnold raised his arm to kill Sofia. To prevent this, Reina stands in front.

Arnold: 『Reina, right? An S-Rank of this country… HAHA, I remembered because you have a nice face. I don’t usually give warnings, but I’ll give you one special. There won’t be a next time, move.”

Reina: “I won’t move!”

Reina stands against Arnold’s pressure. Before the tyrant Arnold Alteus, the uncontrollable monster, she does not avert her gaze.

From an outsider’s perspective, this behavior would be strange. She’s trying to protect the person who tried to kill her. But Reina, with tears streaming down her face, is doing her best to protect her with her small body.

It must be because she still loves her mother. Because she has unforgettable memories that are sealed deep within her heart.

I understood her feelings a little bit. The meaning of the beautiful and lonely tears she shed at the sea.

So,

Reina: “I absolutely won’t move!”

Arnold: 『OK, die. 』

Snap!

I’m going to protect her!

Arnold: 『HEY, what are you doing? JAPANESE? I came because you guys were crying for help. What’s with your attitude since earlier? 』

Arnold tried to bring a fist down on both Reina and Sofia.

But his fist stopped.

Kai: “Please stop, there’s no need to kill anymore.”

Because I activated Lightning and teleported to the shadow formed behind Arnold and thrust my sword into Arnold’s throat from behind his mountain-like back.

Seeing this, Arnold stopped his raised fist. In my poor English, I strung together words asking him to back down.

Kai: 『S-top…no, freeze! 』

At my action, Arnold began to laugh. He raised his sunglasses with his hand opposite to the one he raised the knife-hand with and turned to look at me. His eyes were blue, a symbol of the country of freedom.

Arnold: 『HAHAHAHA!! It’s been a while since someone pointed a sword at me! Do you understand what that means? Do you want to go to war? With me? 』

Kai: “I don’t understand what you’re saying… but I’ll stop you. Don’t kill her.”

Seeing this, Kagetora also shouted in English.

Chairman Kagetora: 『Arnold! Stop, please! 』

There was no doubt that his voice reached Arnold.

Arnold: 『OK… 』

Hearing the word “OK”, I was a little relieved. But it was a misunderstanding, suddenly there was a release of magical power from Arnold’s body. A malevolent amount of purple magic power.

Arnold: 『If you can stop it…try to stop it!! 』

Arnold stretched out his palm like a knife and tried to stab both Reina and Sofia. Even with a sword pointed at his throat, he did not stop.

Kai: “What!?”

I had no choice but to change my grip on the sword and stab it with all my might into his arm. It’s supposed to be a weak point in the crazy magical power.

However,

Kai: “What!?”

It was as hard as hitting iron, an overwhelming solidity. Even in the places where the magic power was weak, the monstrous magic power repelled my magic-imbued attack.

Kai: (He won’t stop! Damn it!! What is this monster!!)

Understanding that it was impossible to stop him, I shouted to Reina.

Kai: “Reina! Dodge!!”

But it was pointless. Because she wants to protect her mother, if she dodges, her mother will die. So, Reina, holding back her tears, did not move from there. Reina also activated her light shield. But her silver shield shattered like sugar art, and Arnold’s fist reached Reina.

Kai: “It won’t make it—!?”

Arnold: 『Bye. 』

It was when his knife-hand was about to pierce Reina. I activated Lightning and tried to teleport. Chairman Kagetora, and Tendo-san also tried to stop him, running towards us.

But nobody was in time.

From that world’s strongest fist.

“Reina…”

Except for the person who was closest.

Reina: “Eh?”

Reina was pushed from behind.

It was Sophia. She pushed Reina, protecting her from Arnold.

In other words, the one who got pierced…

Reina: “Mom? Mom!!”

It was Sophia. Her body was pierced by Arnold’s savage blade, and his hand went right through her.

Arnold: 『…Mission complete, eh? Hey, boy. You were cool, but couldn’t stop me, could you? …I suppose I should finish her off. 』

Arnold pulls his hand out and swings again. However, Arnold stops once more.

Arnold: 『HAHAHA! …It’s almost like I’m a villain, huh? What’s the matter? I only killed because I was told to you know?”

However, his hand is stopped by Chairman Kagetora and Tendou-san, the two of them working together.

Tendou: “Kid!”

Chairman Kagetora: “Kai-kun!”

I understood their intentions. I immediately embraced both Reina and the bleeding Sophia-san.

Arnold: 『There’s no way I’m letting you escape, move!! You scum! 』

Immediately after, Arnold shook off Tendou-san and Chairman Kagetora, and attacked us with his monstrous power. Being caught would mean death, its speed was a symbol of destruction faster than a supersonic fighter. A personification of violence that no one could escape.

But if it’s me…

Kai: “──Lightning”

I could escape by becoming lightning.
