Although the gods have been troubled by what Pekora has been doing to Virturan—stretching the dimensions, sending the projectile to the end of galaxy— they couldn't do anything.
They could send a thunder from up above, but she will just avoid it easily. Pekobbit, so the name of races, was the special races of Virturan. It was the race that specialises on escaping. When the Pekobbit's races was born, it was already faster than most of the humans with the exception of those who have trained for battle.
Once the Pekobbit surpass the years of 111, they will awaken the power sleeping inside them, but most of them will die at 10 years, for their lifespan has come to end. Pekora, was an unknown exception, closer to mutation.
Currently known to god of one of the best Pekora's ability was, her Dimension Magic, unknown if it should be called as 'magic' that magic affects the her body, the projectiles, the law itself. Once her pupils became invert color, her body will become an 1st dimensional being, although the form remains.
This means that her 'hitbox' will become extremely small meaning it to be hard to hit—although the skill user itself doesn't know this feature as she have never been hit by any attack before.
The 2nd power of her dimension magic is: she will become the lord of that (1st) dimension. The 1st dimension has a line connecting the two points: length. All objectives will turn into a line, and she can control this length.
a simple wave of her hand can she lunch the length on 'somewhere far away' and sends the length (object) at the end of galaxy, and this is without spending any efforts.
If she tried it, she may even be able to lunch an attack outside the galaxy, or to another universes.
Speaking of universes, Thor's Hammer, Mjolnir wasn't the only objects was being sent toward Virturan due to the rifts her action caused. There were multiples objects, whether it's an objective of god's weapon, or human's fast food. At least, once in a year, a portal made from he rift in space was being made, sucking in something.
Gods even thought that in the future, Usada Pekora may be able to take off the enormous seals put into this gigantic world, preventing from anyone, to enter and to exit.
Usada Pekora was… the protagonist!

With a long-ass complimentary, the author has finally managed to skip out the scenes where Kuro and everyone plays the card game. As expected, the newcomer (Shion and Arin) was beaten to a pulp by Kuro and bullied to the point of tears at the corner of their eyes.
However how much they were being beaten by, a clear hope was still left inside Shion's eyes—this was the first lesson she learned from Kuro, the first reason why she begins to admire him, the first reason why she became interested to other human. "That's cheating!"
"Although I don't know what you did there, there's no way you can clear out your card in just a 2nd turn! I demand a rematch!" She complained.
To be honest, this match had no sort of 'penalty game' for losing so, losing in this match wasn't that of a grave things, but she still demanded to try a rematch.
But since she want a rematch, Kuro wouldn't hold back, and like a lion, he would be serious even when playing against a children, not to mention, he is a children himself.
***
"Kuro~! Are you there~?" From outside the tree house, an strong and almighty voices sounded out. Taking a look, outside, it was Shishiro Botan. The white lion king, which suddenly wanted to experiences the life of human. From her face, it seemed that she was okay with the human lives.
Since the game just ended, Kuro decided to get outside the house and leads her in.
"What is the matter, Botan-Onee-Chan?" Once she enters the room, her stare went locked toward the Sin of Pride, and her daughters.
Suddenly, her mood worsened as she saw something that belonged to Kuro, inside the daughters' body. "What did you take from Kuro?" However, she doesn't know what it was.
The situations worsening, this place may be turned into a battlefield—if that happens, the tree house Kuro and Ayame painstakingly built, may be destroyed—with that one of the reason, the another was, Kuro just didn't want to see his friends fighting for a dumb reason called him.
"No-now now. Don't get angry over me. It was just a contract. Besides, I don't mind it." Kuro tried his best to fix it.
"What a failure, a woman as omniscient as me, failed to notice mythical creatures closing in because of this cursed tools called game." However, Arin's suspicion toward Kuro was there. Making his words have close to none effects.
"What? Do you think, I'll use Kuro to take you down? I don't require such a method, as I can take you down anytime I want." Somewhat, Arin's suspicion being directed toward Kuro pissed her a little bit—although her appearances remained the same, her presences began to change.
"You? A big pet cat, whose appearances a bit special because her fur is white—take me down? Ridiculous. No even in your dream. You won't even be able to hit me with single attack before losing down against me." Arin's annoyance wasn't directed toward Kuro anymore. It shifted to the white lion king.
"I doub-"
"Both of you shut up." From the side, Kuro whose body was slightly coated by darkness, spoke.
Although he is stressed, his percentage hasn't risen yet. He was controlling his darkness to release the immense aura emitted by these two monsters. His words were short, yet harsh.
"Botan, if you keep speaking badly of Arin, I won't make you a game anymore."
"Arin, are you really resorting to trash-talk? Considering how sin of 'proud' you are, aren't you childish? I lost some of my respect to you, and I even want to keep Shion away from you so that she doesn't inherit that personality of you." Kuro. Has. Snapped.
Kuro snapping, was scary. Although he isn't strong, his verbal abuse struck directly their heart as it only aimed their weakness. "Sigh… I even thought of making 'manga' for Botan to read…"
"Manga!? You're finally making it, Kuro? Hurray! Hurray! Tis' will be the first person to read your manga, alright?" From the side, Ayame not minding everyone's business, destroyed the atmosphere.
Because of how cute that figure of her, bouncing in happiness, Kuro couldn't help but pat her head as he gently smiled—his previous attitude seemed like illusion. "Sure. But at this rate… I may not let Botan-Onee-Chan read it." Kuro teased the adult, his adulthood was looking grim.
Finally, Botan couldn't hold it anymore. Although she doesn't know what manga was, seeing how happy Ayame was, she wanted to read it too. "Wait, I am sorry. I'll apologise to shi-, witch-san so please let me also read it."
Since the Sin of Pride had no intention to lose the fight, Kuro waved his hand toward Shion. "Shion-chan~ come here."
"Hm? What is it." Kuro right now, was more reassuring than the suspicious bad mood mother of her. So, she easily took the bait(?) and went over to Kuro.
With a warm smile, and an wide smile like that of broad, wide sky, he said. "Shion-chan, don't be like your mother, okay? Although she is a good person, she lacks or lost the ability to trust a person. Please stay pure, and don't become as pitiable as Arin-san."
His smile, was so warm—as if embracing her, while his pupils was gentle, like that of genuinely feeling for her.
If his words was harsh, insulting her mother, she would speak back for her, but Kuro was just merely speaking the facts. Her mother were gentle, but she lost the ability to trust a person, making her pitiful although her title as the Sin of Pride says otherwise.
It was as if, Shion was engulfed by the sun-like warmth Kuro emitted, and she couldn't help but nod.
Shion's nod was like, an arrow to Arin's heart. To make it worse, the action behind Shion's intention was very pure. "I-I have no choice doesn't I? I tried… but I was betrayed!"
Sin of Pride, in front of Kuro, in front of her daughter was just another girl with sad past. "Or else… I wouldn't have became the Sin of Pride. Just because I had a talent in magic… I was treated as witch. When I thought I finally found a place to rest, they tried to kill me…"
.
.
.
Kuro had no words to say, to reassure her. What was he to reassure someone when he himself haven't experienced that feeling of being betrayed. In his opinion, he thought that it was going oerboard, and selfish for him to try to comfort someone. "I am sorry…"
Just when the Sin of Pride began tearing up, her face changed suddenly, as if such a meager emotion wasn't necessary to her. Her face turned to calm once again, as if nothing have happened. "Whatever. I am bad for suspecting you for no reason. I'll go back to home now. Press this button if you're thinking of going back to home."
Waving her hands, Arin casted something toward Shion just in case, and tried to teleport but was stopped by Kuro. "I hope, someday, I can become someone you can trust."
Although sound was transmitted toward Arin, it was unclear whether she heard it, as she just turned her head and without even looking at Kuro, she disappeared from the spot.
