With just Tenya's aura, 60 to 70% of the tens of thousands of oddities were annihilated.
The remaining oddities were scared witless by Tenya's move and scattered in all directions.
Sage Mode.
Black markings appeared at the corners of Tenya's eyes.
Sage Art: Gate of the Great God!
Clapping his hands together, he summoned red torii gates that descended from the sky and landed around the construction site. They formed a powerful sealing array.
Sizzle...
The scattered oddities crashed into the barrier, making sizzling sounds.
"Damn it!"
"Are you a devil?"
The group of oddities was both shocked and angry.
The human in front of them was much more terrifying than them. He attacked as soon as he arrived, ignored negotiations, and now even sealed off their retreat.
With nowhere to go, the oddities had no choice but to regroup and launch a counterattack against Tenya.
Clank...
Two excavators parked at the construction site suddenly started up, driverless, and charged towards Tenya.
Extending their two shovel arms, amplified by the power of the oddities, their force exceeded a hundred tons.
Tenya raised a foot and stepped on a shovel arm, and no matter how the excavator activated its hydraulic system, it couldn't lift it.
A black shadow covered Tenya's body, it was a huge concrete block wrapped in rebar, falling from high altitude.
Bang!
Tenya attached Armament Haki to his bare hands and easily caught the concrete block.
Bang...
Fire hydrants suddenly erupted, transforming into ultra-high pressure water cannons under the influence of the oddities' power, shooting towards Tenya.
Ice-Make: Freeze!
The high-pressure water cannons, along with the fire hydrants, were frozen.
Amaterasu!
A wisp of black air escaped from the fire hydrant, only to be immediately ignited by the black flames and turn to ashes.
Bansho Ten'in.
A dark green oddity resembling an alligator snapping turtle was forcibly dragged out from deep underground.
Tenya grabbed the other party's thick neck with one hand.
"Your Excellency, spare me!"
"I am the Earth Land Turtle, and I am somewhat famous in the bizzare world..."
"Let me go, and I am willing to sign an equal contract with Your Excellency..."
The alligator snapping turtle oddity begged for mercy desperately.
"Equal contract?"
"Do you even qualify?"
Tenya sneered, mercilessly snapped its neck, and used the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to shatter its hard shell, crushing its spirit core along with it.
"Ooooh!"
Facing the overwhelmingly powerful Tenya, the oddities on the construction site scattered in panic.
Trapped by the seal of the Gate of the Great God, they had no one to turn to.
"We surrender! We surrender!"
"Please, Your Excellency, remove the sealing array, and we will leave immediately, never to set foot here again in this life."
The oddities' pleas for mercy were incessant.
"I don't need your guarantees."
"Exterminating them all is the best way to deal with them."
Tenya continued his massacre, his goal being to wipe out all the oddities on the construction site in one go.
An hour later...
The wails and howls disappeared, and everything became silent. The thirteen thousand oddities that had been occupying the area were all annihilated.
Returning home.
"Welcome home, Tenya-kun."
Kiyomi quietly brewed tea in the living room. Gentle as water, she perfectly displayed the charm of a Yamato Nadeshiko.
"I'm back, Kiyomi."
Tenya smiled knowingly. Interacting with a mature woman was different, it was comfortable and pleasant.
Kiyomi didn't proactively ask about the oddities, brewing tea with elegant and unhurried movements.
Tenya picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Whether the tea tasted good was secondary. The main thing was the emotional value, pleasing to the eye.
After a few cups, he got into the mood. Now it was time to get down to business.
"Ah~ not here..."
"What if Haruno and Yukino come back?"
Kiyomi pushed his chest with her palm, feigning resistance.
"Don't worry."
"I introduced them to part-time jobs, they won't be home that quickly." Tenya chuckled.
He had contacted "Part-time Job Emperor" Nanami after a long time and introduced a few cost-effective part-time jobs to them.
Both sisters were women with strong self-esteem and were unwilling to stay at Tenya's house and eat and live for free.
Just right, it freed up space. Tenya could have a heart-to-heart talk with Kiyomi.
"I can't do anything with you..."
"At least let me take a bath first."
"Then let's go together."
The next day.
Kiyomi personally went to the construction site and held a press conference, announcing that the oddities had been resolved.
The outside world was half-believing, half-doubting, but they still sent people to cautiously investigate. After confirming that there was no danger, their doubts were dispelled.
The various capital groups' minds became active.
Although people had died at the construction site, it had to be said that Kiyomi had a unique vision. This area was a golden treasure land for real estate development.
The substantial profits after completion attracted bids from multiple capital groups to take over.
Finally, after multiple rounds of financial maneuvering, an old American real estate company took over.
Most of the auction proceeds were used to repay bank loans and various penalty fees.
This money was enough for the Yukinoshita family to clear all their debts, but they had lost their companies, houses, and cars, essentially returning to square one overnight.
Chat Group
Asuna: Body indicators are all back to normal, finally able to be discharged.
Mito (Tozawa Misumi): That's great, finally we can meet offline!
Silica (Ayano Keiko): So excited to see Tenya!
Tenya: Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, see you in Kyoto.
...
A certain commercial plaza in Kyoto.
"Misumi, long time no see!"
"Asuna, actually it hasn't been that long, right?"
"That's different!"
Asuna and Misumi were classmates at the same school in reality.
"Um, excuse me, are you Asuna-san and Mito-san?" A little girl asked them in a clear voice.
"Silica-chan?"
"You're much cuter in person than in the game."
Asuna recognized the adorable Keiko in front of her at a glance and affectionately hugged her.
"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Yuuki Asuna, and this is Tozawa Misumi."
"Asuna-san, Misumi-san."
"My name is Ayano Keiko, please take care of me."
The two sides smiled at each other. This was their first time meeting in the real world. But in Aincrad, they had been together for 150 days.
"Tenya, why isn't he here yet?" Keiko stood on her tiptoes, looking around.
"Tenya-kun is in Chiba, it takes some time to get to Kyoto."
As soon as Asuna finished speaking, she heard a familiar voice from behind her.
"Yo."
"Asuna, Misumi, Keiko."
"Using real names, it's the first time, it feels a bit unusual."
Tenya waved and greeted them.
"Tenya-kun!"
"Tenya."
"You actually used your real name as your game ID, now calling you that doesn't feel awkward at all."
When the three girls saw Tenya in person, their eyes lit up.
