Issei could guarantee that he had never seen such a magnificent and shocking scene in his life.
A huge mushroom cloud that blotted out the sun filled this world.
A few seconds later, fire that reached from heaven to earth tore through the firmament.
High-heat air currents swirled up with thick smoke and sparks, and the oncoming hot air was extremely pungent.
Birds and beasts sprinted toward the exit of the primeval forest to escape for their lives.
Issei felt his heartbeat was about to break through the sky.
He slowly backed away, then without hesitation, turned and ran!
Boom!
However, when he ran to the edge of the Siberian region, a visible white shockwave descended like divine punishment!
The aftershock was like a wave of death.
Wherever it passed, this primeval forest that had existed for tens of millions of years was leveled like fragile straw, and ancient trees were snapped in half.
The air burned scalding hot, almost instantly swallowing Issei completely.
[The desire to survive allowed you to burst forth with unprecedented potential.
You ran for your life, but the aftershock of the explosion still swallowed you.] [At the critical moment, the Age of Gods-level protection magic in your body saved you.
It was a special magic personally cast on you by your fiancée Sajyou Manaka three years ago.] [The meteorite from outer space instantly killed countless creatures in the Siberian region.
You witnessed the entire process of the Tunguska Event.] [Obtained Talent: Mystic Eyes of Calamity] [Rank: Rainbow] [When a disaster-level energy reaction appears in your field of vision, the Mystic Eyes will automatically analyze its energy composition and feed back the optimal weakness to you in the form of visual information.] Mystic Eyes are organs attached to a Magus, but at the same time, they are semi-independent magic circuits.
Their ranks are divided into ‘Common’, ‘Gold’, ‘Jewel’, and the highest ‘Rainbow rank’.
Only…
why does it feel like the effect of these Rainbow-rank Mystic Eyes isn’t very large?
After all, how can there be so many disaster-level energy reactions in this world?
Issei thought to himself while panting heavily.
He quickly looked up, but saw a terrifying scene with great visual impact.
Countless animal remains had long been swallowed in the explosion just now, and some charred animals were running in the fire.
Those piercing wails had long since disappeared, and the whole world seemed to have only Issei left.
In an instant, the entire Siberian region had turned into a purgatory.
On this land, besides Issei, there were no more living things.
Just then, Issei suddenly felt a slight stinging pain in both eyes and subconsciously closed them.
However, when he opened his eyes again, the world before him seemed to have changed all at once.
The original world had not disappeared, but it was covered by a brand-new layer of ‘visual information’ from his ‘Mystic Eyes’.
In his eyes, the burning fire, the distorted air, and even the animal corpses seemed to turn into a turbulent red data flood within his field of vision.
From the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a faint light.
Issei looked over and saw those animal remains turning into streaks of magical energy, constantly pouring into that faint light.
A thick aura of resentment soared into the sky!
In the beam of light condensed from resentment, a faint, alluring silhouette of a woman seemed to be visible.
Issei hesitated for a moment.
Reason told him that approaching there now was not the right choice, but on second thought…
Since he was already here and had discovered what appeared to be a boss instance, how could he not go and see?
Thinking this, he gritted his teeth and walked towards the pillar of light.
Along the way, the resentment from the animal carcasses kept assaulting him, but it never affected Issei’s spirit in any way.
According to Issei’s memories, the reason the head of the Sajyou Family adopted him and even betrothed Manaka to him was not simply out of affection, but because Issei possessed an innate ability.
—Empathy.
This ability had only one effect: it could soothe the souls of others.
In other words, the Sajyou Family was not looking for a husband for Manaka, but a safety measure for this dangerous ‘nuclear weapon’.
As he approached the pillar of light, the silhouette of the woman within became increasingly clear.
When he saw the figure clearly, Issei’s breath involuntarily caught.
In the pillar of light formed from the magic of resentment of millions of creatures, a pink-haired woman, like an infant, hugged her knees and slept.
Her figure was graceful and voluptuous, her curves enticing.
Her long pink hair flowed like a waterfall down to her calves, and from Issei’s perspective, he could almost feel the full arc of her chest.
Despite appearing so beautiful, she now had her brows tightly furrowed.
Countless creature carcasses turned into magic and continuously flowed into her, each time seeming to echo with painful howls from the void.
After the Tunguska Event, the resentment and hatred of countless creatures towards humans converged, giving birth to Beast IV, the Beast of Cherishment.
After this special interface popped up, a system reminder with a red exclamation mark quietly appeared.
Your next choice will have a profound impact on the human order.
Please decide carefully.
A: Already obtained the Mystic Eyes, know when to quit, and retreat.
B: Stay and witness the birth of the Beast of Cherishment.
C: Look at her soft, fair skin, don’t you want to take advantage of her kindness?
The first two options were reasonable and safe, while the other was risky…
After all, who knows if she will attack me after awakening.
As for the third one…
Is this human order salvation system really serious?!
Issei silently complained.
The system reminded again: All options are generated based on the host’s current situation and personal desires.
This broken system has no emotional intelligence…
Issei silently chose ‘A’.
Safety first.
The interface before him disappeared, and the woman’s figure in the pillar of light, which had been somewhat ethereal, began to solidify.
Issei turned to leave.
At the same time, behind him, a vast magical power silently spread in all directions from the pillar of light.
The pillar of light gradually disappeared, and the pink-haired woman’s alluring body floated in mid-air, every inch of her skin seeming to glow faintly.
An indescribable magical power filled the area, causing Issei’s body to stiffen.
Feeling the gaze from behind, he slowly turned his head to look.
The woman had opened her eyes at some point, her strikingly beautiful golden eyes silently watching him.
In this Tunguska Event, Beast IV, the Beast of Cherishment, was born!
