"Ahh—!"
Her body split cleanly in half, blood and organs bursting into the air like a grotesque firework.
Jibril let out a sharp, wet scream, wings twitching as she spiraled downward, unable to stabilize her flight.
But even as she plummeted, she didn't give in.
With blood streaming down her chin, she fumbled a senzu bean into her mouth. Flesh, bone, and nerves reconnected mid-fall, her figure reassembling like a miracle stitched together in real time.
This was no longer a fight of strength or technique.
At the very beginning, Jaeger had asked her:
"How many senzu beans do you have left?"
And she had looked him dead in the eyes, smiling like a lunatic.
"And how much stamina do you have left in that body of yours?"
From that moment, the duel shifted.
This wasn't blades vs. magic anymore — it was a showdown of pure endurance.
Who could last longer.
Who would break first.
Laughing even as blood tore free from her freshly healed wounds, Jibril yelled mid-air:
"I've got a hundred beans left! And you, Jaeger-san? I heard your stamina's… lacking?"
Even in freefall, even with a fatal wound still closing up, she smirked and that alone made Jaeger's eyebrow twitch.
He still grinned back, annoyed but amused.
"Tch… Want to test my staying power yourself?"
Nothing wounds a man deeper than being mocked about endurance.
Jaeger was no exception.
"Then I'll show you just how terrifying an enhanced Sage Body really is. I'll let your body feel it firsthand."
He raised his golden blade.
"God Avoid—!!"
A deceptively gentle swing — followed by a cataclysm.
Golden sword lights burst from the sky, dozens, then hundreds, ripping through space and time like divine verdicts.
Slash.
Slash.
Slash.
Each one split open the heavens.
Jibril's eyes went huge. "Huh?! He can use God Avoid consecutively?! Isn't that WAY too foul!?"
It was foul.
God Avoid used to have a fatal flaw — its cooldown due to lack of not having a strong body.
Not anymore.
As long as Jaeger had the physical energy to burn, he could fire the Noble Phantasm endlessly.
And thanks to his Sage Body constantly absorbing natural energy, he didn't run out.
A new wave shrieked through the air.
"BZZZT—!!"
"Aaaaaaaahhh—!!"
Jibril tried dodging.
She tried teleporting.
She even tried hiding in alternate dimensions.
It didn't matter.
The golden blades cut through everything — space, illusion, distance, reality.
They carved her apart over and over — splitting her in half, chopping her into twitching fragments, turning her into minced Flugel meat.
And every time?
Senzu bean. Regenerate. Repeat.
She died thirty-five times in less than a blink.
Blood soaked the ocean below, turning it a deep, horrifying crimson.
Viscera fell like rain.
The battlefield looked like a butcher's hell rather than a duel.
Yet Jaeger didn't stop.
Another volley of God Avoid fell from above.
In the Chat Group
Miyuki Uchiha: "This is… beyond insane."
Esdeath: "Even by my standards this is a bit much… but thrilling nonetheless. Honestly? I wouldn't mind replacing her."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Even my Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan can't track those swings. How many times has she died now?"
Yamamoto Mei: "Utaha, you have the Eternal Mangekyō. If you can't see clearly…"
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Huh…? Mei, you're definitely stronger than me… right?"
Saitama: "Jaeger used 63 God Avoids in less than a second. Several overlapped. Jibril only needed 35 beans to heal all that."
Esdeath: "You COUNTED that?! No wonder they call you One Punch Man."
Miyuki Uchiha: "Wait… so Jibril died 35 times in ONE SECOND?"
Luo Hao: "Jaeger's earlier battles must've been warm-up exercises. This level is terrifying."
Esdeath: "I want to defeat that man… then grind him under my heel! I want to see him lick my feets after losing! HAHAHA!"
Erina Nakiri: "E-Esdeath-sama!? Why are you like this?!"
Shinobu Kocho: "…Is this a common fetish in other worlds?"
Miyuki Uchiha: "Looks like the sadist queen finally snapped. His Highness Jaeger awakened her dominance."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Heh—ice cube, you don't even need a battle. Just say the word, and Jaeger would lick your feet willingly."
Sakura Tohsaka: "Why do I feel like you're mad, Utaha-san?"
Miyuki Uchiha: "She's jealous. Her man's being targeted."
Luo Hao: "But she isn't wrong. With Jaeger's lust… that wouldn't be a punishment. That would be a reward."
The chat descended into chaos.
But amid all the teasing, jokes, and shock…
Everyone agreed on one thing:
Jibril was absolutely insane.
Unlike Utaha, she didn't have Twelve Trials.
If Jaeger struck her Flugel core even once, she was gone forever.
No respawn.
No extra life.
Yet she charged in again and again — laughing, bleeding, reviving, and dying all over.
Because she simply didn't care.
This beautiful, battle-hungry creature treated her life with the same reckless disdain she treated others'.
There was a nobility to it—brutal, pure, almost divine in its madness. A warrior's pride carried to the extreme.
Jaeger could see it.
And he respected it.
"We, the Flugel, were born to kill gods! Born for battle! We die for battle!"
Still unable to fly, Jibril forced her half-healed body upright and roared from below, eyes glowing with unbroken fire.
"Heaven's Strike—!!"
Another full-powered blast shot upward like a meteor.
She knew it wouldn't land.
With her wings torn apart, long-range was all she had left.
But her instincts screamed the truth:
This man stood above even that.
Jaeger didn't dodge.
Instead, he grinned.
"That's right… don't give up."
He lifted his right hand.
"Let me repay your courage… with destruction."
"CRACKLE—!!"
A pitch-black bolt of lightning bloomed in his palm—a spear of pure storm, thunder coiling around it like a feral dragon.
He began to chant:
"Tear the heavens."
"Shatter the stars."
"All that exists under the sky belongs to me."
"I rule all that shines in the night."
With every verse, the lightning roared louder.
Finally—
"I am the Lightning that tears the stars—!!"
BOOOOOOM—!!!
The heavens themselves split.
Black lightning erupted in a world-ending torrent, annihilating cloud and sky, shaking the sea into steam. What remained of the comet impact on Demon Slayer's world was nothing compared to the destruction now unleashed.
"CRACK—!!"
The sky became a sun suffering a divine meltdown.
Lightning and flame intertwined, swallowing everything. The sea boiled. The air distorted. Reality trembled under the weight of a strike clearly meant to erase cities—countries—whole civilizations.
The target?
Jibril.
She expected this.
And still, with shaking hands, she clutched her remaining beans.
"These Noble Phantasms of yours are just too ridiculous," she growled between clenched teeth. "But I'm not going down without using everything I've got!"
She shoved several beans into her mouth—
And then lightning swallowed her whole.
There was no scream.
No blood.
Just a burst of light so bright it erased sight and sound.
Everything inside that column of destruction ceased to exist.
If she hadn't stocked dozens of beans beforehand, Jaeger would've never dared use his upgraded Noble Phantasm.
Not unless he was ready to be kicked from the chat group for accidentally murdering a member.
[Chat Group]
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Jibril… isn't actually dead, right?"
Uchiha Miyuki: "Unlikely. As long as she gets the beans fast enough, she'll survive. But… yeah, even I wouldn't want to tank that twice."
Erina Nakiri: "That black lightning… just watching it gave me goosebumps!"
Luo Hao: "Hmph! Jaeger truly honored Jibril's strength—he used everything he had. That is how a warrior should be treated. My admiration for him grows."
Esdeath: "Agreed! Mercy in battle is pointless.
Crush your opponent completely—or don't bother fighting!"
Uchiha Miyuki: "You battle junkies are insane… I could never seriously injure a beautiful girl."
Sakura Tohsaka: "And there she goes again. Miyuki-san, please stop creeping everyone out."
Yamamoto Mei: "Just ignore her. Anyway… looks like the fight's ending."
Luo Hao: "Yes. Even if Jibril has a few beans left, continuing now would be shameful. Her defeat is already certain."
For a long time, the screen displayed nothing but black lightning devouring the sky.
Nobody could see Jibril.
Nobody could hear her.
Only the fact that her name still showed online proved she was alive… barely.
Finally—
The storm faded.
High above the devastated battlefield, Jaeger hovered—holding Jibril gently in his arms.
His breathing was shallow.
Even with an enhanced immortal physique, that treasure had drained him to the bone.
Jibril, reverted into a small childlike form, lay limp against him. Her wings twitched weakly, like a dying ember.
She was conscious.
Barely.
"It's… my complete defeat," she whispered.
She had used every bean she had left just to not be erased by that apocalyptic beam.
Now she was empty—completely hollowed out.
With her last bit of strength, she nuzzled into Jaeger's chest like a tired kitten.
"Jaeger-san… you could do anything you want to me right now. Want to try something you've always wanted to do…?"
Jaeger blinked at the tiny, battered figure in his arms.
He swallowed hard.
"…Honestly? Yeah. I kind of do." (T/N: Holy Crap!)
The chat group went absolutely silent.
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "…Hold on. What did he just say?"
Erina Nakiri: "N-NO! JAEGER-SAN!! SHE LOOKS UNDER TEN RIGHT NOW! THAT IS A CRIME—A CRIME IN EVERY COUNTRY!!!"
Miyuki Uchiha: "Brother in Christ. Have mercy on yourself."
Luo Hao:"…This man. He ascended to legend—
only to immediately dive into degeneracy. What a tragedy."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Jaeger. Honey. PUT. THE. LOLI. DOWN."
Yamamoto Mei: "…Has he finally reached the 'forbidden enlightenment' stage? Should I alert a doctor? Or a lawyer?"
Nerona Jaeger: "…Why are you all acting like I'm the villain here?"
Saitama: "…This is why I stay bald and single."
Nerona Jaeger: "..."
Miyuki Uchiha:"Should we… stop him? Or just let natural consequences deal with him?"
Saitama: "I vote consequences. They're funnier."
Luo Hao: "I vote beating him with morals."
Esdeath: "I vote beating him with a whip."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "I vote beating him with shame."
Erina Nakiri: "I vote beating him with the police."
Miyuki Uchiha: "I vote beating his meat in private (♡)."
Yamamoto Mei: "…Miyuki. Please refrain from saying things that confirm everyone's worst suspicions about you."
Miyuki Uchiha: "Huh!? What suspicions??"
Yamamoto Mei (deadpan): "That you require psychological intervention."
Miyuki: "MEI!! That's so mean! I'm completely normal!"
