Chapter 766 - 766
A massive fiery tornado, propelled by psychic force, descended from the sky. The immense psychic fluctuations swept in all directions, crushing vegetation, road signs, and everything in their path. Concrete ground and walls continuously shattered under the residual waves. Humans caught in the vortex were instantly pulverized into minced flesh and vaporized without even a chance to scream.That was how it should have been.
But in that instant,
The sequence was reversed.
"...Huh?"
Abraham suddenly looked down.
A sharp blade had pierced his heart.
In that moment, it was as if time had reversed.
Although he had launched his attack first, this blade had overturned the order of events, embedding itself into his heart before his strike could land.
The raging tornado naturally dissipated.
What had happened?
Abraham wore a bewildered expression.
"New·Flash of Lightning."
Eiji withdrew the blade, his expression cold.
"This is an absolutely preemptive strike. Dying by this move does not disgrace your reputation!"
Abraham suddenly understood.
This was the Demon's power of attraction.
He had forcibly drawn upon the causality of "absolute precedence," entwining it around the blade. With his powerful attraction, he had condensed this causality into reality!
Absolute precedence.
This meant that this strike would inevitably hit the enemy before they could act!
An absolute first move—any attack, regardless of scale, power, or speed, would be useless against this move unless it could resist this causality.
Truly, a move that left all opponents with no choice but to silently accept death!
An ultimate killing sword technique!
"Are all swordsmen... this terrifying...?"
With this resentment, Abraham closed his eyes.
His presence vanished completely.
To prevent his resurrection, Eiji swiftly slashed several times, dismembering Abraham on the spot. He then summoned the Crozzo Demon Sword to reduce his corpse to ashes.

After completing all this, Eiji landed on the ground.
"I never expected you to have such a move hidden away. It truly surpasses my expectations!"
Edelweiss approached, her face full of admiration.
"I was inspired by Kurogane Ikki."
Eiji let out a light sigh, a smile spreading across his face.
After witnessing Kurogane Ikki's Shadow Chaser, Eiji had conceived that inspiration.
If Kurogane Ikki could condense the causality of victory into reality, could he not do the same for the causality of absolute precedence?
The result of this was the new Flash of Lightning.
Whether it was because shattering the stone gate to become a Demon had strengthened his power of attraction, or because the causality of "absolute precedence" was highly compatible with him, Eiji had successfully developed this move.
To be honest, tonight was the first time he had used it.
But he had felt it would work, so he used it.
Previously, his Flash of Lightning was only a false preemptive strike—once his magic power was cut off or the distance was widened, it would immediately fail. Only after developing the new Flash of Lightning had he truly achieved absolute precedence!
With this move, even the so-called world's strongest "Superman" was defeated head-on, demonstrating just how sharp this technique was!
With this move, nine out of ten enemies would be utterly crushed!
If one couldn't resist causality or lacked passive abilities like immortality, they wouldn't even have the right to lift a hand against him!
"The world's strongest has fallen by your hands. The United States might seize this opportunity to cause trouble," Edelweiss said with a worried expression.
The United States' methods were widely known to all.
Unscrupulous tactics were their specialty.
"With their ace gone, all they can resort to are petty tricks," Eiji replied calmly.
If he just paid a visit to the Pentagon, he believed they would settle down considerably.
"But... are you worried about me?" Eiji blinked, looking at Edelweiss with a sudden smile.
His grin was full of teasing.
Theoretically speaking, we've only met a few times, right?
Is it appropriate for you to care about me like this?
Edelweiss immediately flushed bright red, glaring at him like a flustered youth.
But paired with her face, redder than a goddess's, that glare held no intimidation—instead, it carried a hint of bashful shyness.
This naive reaction was quite amusing, like teasing a cat, and Eiji considered provoking her a bit more.
But abruptly, both of their expressions shifted as they looked around in shock.
"Are you celebrating too soon?"
"Pfft, hahaha!"
"Still flirting here?"
"We'll send you to hell as a doomed couple!"
Figures emerged from all directions.
They looked at the two with sneers, mockery, or arrogance.
They wore black military-style special uniforms, with badges on their chests embroidered with "PSYON," marking them as the United States' psychic corps.
But the key point was—
"They all... have Abraham's face?" Eiji instantly tightened his grip on his sword.
Edelweiss also tensed up, her eyes swirling with turbulent emotions.
That's right.
As the psychic soldiers continued to appear, each one, upon removing their helmets, had the exact same face as Abraham!
This wasn't some kind of doppelgänger or illusion!
Eiji could sense that each of them was a living human being.
Moreover, their auras were incredibly similar, differing by less than one percent!
"Is this the truth behind the United States' psychic corps?" Edelweiss's tone was extremely grave, her teeth clenched.
"I've heard that within 〈Rebellion〉, there is a brilliant scientist known as the 〈Great Professor〉, who has even mastered cloning technology perfectly."
"Heh."
"Haha."
"You guessed right!"
The Abrahams laughed in unison.
The Great Professor.
Eiji knew that name too—he was the one who cured Sara, one of the Twelve Apostles of 〈Rebellion〉, a top-ranking executive.
Wait a minute.
"Could it be that the Great Professor obtained the DNA of the 〈Tyrant〉, recreated the Tyrant through cloning, and turned him into the United States' 〈Superman〉, Abraham Carter?"
Connecting this with what Edelweiss had said earlier, Eiji suddenly understood.
The Tyrant was the founder of 〈Rebellion〉.
And the Great Professor was one of the Twelve Apostles of 〈Rebellion〉.
The Great Professor had every opportunity to obtain the Tyrant's DNA!
And the Superman possessed the exact same psychic abilities as the Tyrant!
"Correct!"
"We are all clones of the Tyrant!"
"Within Sion, we are all Abraham Carter!"
One Abraham raised his chin with arrogance.
One Abraham revealed an unrestrained smile.
One Abraham spread his arms as if embracing the world.
"The superhuman forces of the United States are a clone army created by the Grand Professor using the Tyrant's DNA!"
In an instant, even Eiji felt a profound shudder.
"No, it's more than that..."
Before him, every one of those twenty-plus Abrahams was unmistakably a demon!
"This is an artificial demon army!"
