The Deprecating Goddess

　　When he arrives at the team base, Ryota finds that someone has arrived one step ahead of him.

　　After opening the door and taking a look, he saw Mine, Shinobu, Misaki, Inaho, and Ishtar... Would this useless goddess want to join in on the fun?

　　Even Hayasaka who had just skipped classes arrived at the base before him.

　　She was wearing a blue and white long-sleeved jacket, which slightly covered Shuchi'in High's student uniform, she must have returned to her bedroom before coming here.

　　Ryota looked down and found Hayasaka's skirt had become longer.

　　For some reason, Ryota felt a tinge of joy in his heart. There was a feeling that he had monopolized Hayasaka's body and mind. After all, this was the change the girl had made for him.

　　"Shiro-chan is really slow."

　　Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, Hayasaka was the first to avert her eyes, and when she saw Ryota, she complained.

　　"You haven't prepared your own 'door' yet?" Misaki immediately asked.

　　"I only took Kei to see the base, and I didn't explain it to the rest of the family. If I make a 'door' in the house..."

　　Ryota shook his head and said: "It's only a few steps to come here anyway, so let's do this for now."

　　"Okay," Misaki nodded, "It's fine if you don't find it a bother."

　　"It's okay, Misaki, you..." Ryota thought for a while and reminded: "Exercise more, and don't eat too many sweets."

　　He couldn't help but think of the setting in Misaki's work – a body prone to obesity, and the "queen faction" formed by her strictly limiting her intake of sweets.

　　"I've been working out lately." Misaki suddenly said: "Shiro-chan, doesn't Shiro-chan know best?"

　　Ryota: "..."

　　This little girl is really arrogant!

　　Ryota calmly replied: "Yes, I know very well, that's why I advise you to strengthen your sports practice. After all, your physical strength is too weak. After a few movements, you will feel tired. If you want to lie down and let me help…"

　　Misaki's expression became a little unnatural: "I will increase the amount of training."

　　Ryota really said such things without any embarrassment, if it was really exposed… Misaki couldn't help showing an irritated look in her eyes.

　　Even though the topic was brought up by her herself.

　　"Don't worry, Shiro-chan, his physical strength can't be increased, it's a matter of talent."

　　Hayasaka ran and pulled Ryota into the interior of the base, forcefully ending the topic with this action, and asked curiously while walking: "Tell me about your newly awakened ability! What's that?"

　　"You really like to join in on the fun, Hayasaka, you always skip classes to join in." Ryota complained while walking: "If I were the principal, I would definitely kick you out of school right now."

　　"High school is very relaxed. After all, I had studied what I had to study, and test scores were casually controlled. The rest is just presence."

　　Hayasaka's tone relaxed a little, and she pointed at Misaki, and pointed the fire upwards: "On the contrary, she is a junior high school student who often skips school. She is the one who needs to be removed the most."

　　Hayasaka looked at Misaki in front of her, and said in a provocative tone: "Do you think Hayasaka Onee-san is right? Misaki."

　　"Hehe, like I said, I'm on vacation."

　　"Who knows? We don't have time to verify, you can lie all you want."

　　"Up to you."

　　Misaki gently played with her hair with her right hand, showing a haughty and indifferent attitude.

　　This action made Hayasaka frown slightly. She was dissatisfied with the other party's perfunctory attitude.

　　On the contrary... She always felt that today's Misaki was a little strange.

　　When she usually saw her, she would always frame her with words from various places.

　　But today is very quiet.

　　She hadn't provoked her so far, and she seemed to be able to handle her easily.

　　There was even a sense of calm and a hint of superiority between her brows… In a good mood?

　　Hayasaka always felt something was wrong, but she didn't know what was wrong.

　　After much deliberation, she had no choice but to give up.

　　At this time, Ryota's voice interrupted her meditation.

　　"Ishtar, what are you doing here?"

　　Only Ryota said to Ishtar who was sitting not far away:

　　"Aren't you in a state of war over there? Why do I feel that you are idle all day... Aren't you the protector of Uruk, right? Shouldn't you be spending more time caring about your believers?"

　　"Hmph, the goddess has the rules of the goddess. I will only repay humans with love equal to their belief. Too much is not enough."

　　Ishtar's words sounded slightly irritated: "And I also have my own point of view. Uruk now revolves around the golden man so I don't care about that. I have to wait until he dies, and…"

　　She stretched out her hand and pointed at Inaho, Misaki, and Hayasaka in turn, and said: "Why are you only asking me yourself? Aren't they here to join in the fun too!"

　　"You admit that you're here to join in on the fun..." Ryota sighed and said, "I'm here to do some serious business."

　　Ishtar pouted: "What difference does it make, I'm not the only one..."

　　"I am here to measure Shiro's battle stats."

　　Inaho suddenly stood up and said in an indifferent voice without any ups and downs of emotion: "If Shiro wants to solve the problems of his teammates, he can't avoid fighting. I want to measure its various data in real combat and improve the database. I will use it when setting up opportunities for the next adventure."

　　After he finished speaking, he also seriously emphasized to Ishtar: "I'm not here to join in on the fun."

　　Ishtar: "..."

　　Who is this cold man?

　　Dare to tear down the goddess platform... Deliberately provoke trouble?

　　"Hmph... I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about them."

　　Ishtar immediately changed her words and glanced at Hayasaka and Misaki.

　　"I'm here to see what Shiro-chan's newly awakened ability is." Hayasaka defended herself.

　　"Me, too." Misaki smiled and agreed.

The two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding, and instantly created an atmosphere of targeting and repelling Ishtar alone.

　　"...Me too."

　　Ishtar bit the bullet and said some nonsense.

　　"Is it true? Then can you tell me about Shiro-chan's first three bridge abilities?"

　　Misaki's sense of smile turned into a little demon: "You don't even know the first three abilities, so you dare to say that you came here out of curiosity about the fourth ability?"

　　"Damn..." Ishtar gritted her teeth.

　　"Let's talk about business."

　　Ryota stood up and became a peacemaker.

　　Even if this topic was provoked by Ishtar herself. Therefore, Misaki and Hayasaka, such a tacit reaction, is this unanimous external communication?

　　Ryota took two steps forward, reached out and patted the table surrounded by everyone.

　　"What is it?" asked Hayasaka confused.

　　Others wanted to ask the same question. But in the next second, they collectively froze for a while.

　　They saw the table that Ryota had touched started to crumble. The degrees continued to deepen, turning into fragments in a few seconds, then into residue, and then into ashes.

　　Finally, the ashes vanished, as if blown by the wind.

　　No trace.

　　Only the memory in everyone's mind proves the table's existence.

　　"This is your new ability?" Hayasaka asked curiously, she reached out and waved at the table's original position, as if to confirm whether the table had really disappeared. As a result, it was as natural as what she saw with the naked eye.

　　"Yeah," Ryota's mouth twitched, "Guess what that is?"

　　"You smashed the table…?" Mine guessed.

　　"...Mine, try shooting the table like this," Ryota said speechlessly, "You can shoot it into powder, come and try."

　　"What's so hard? I can do it."

　　Ishtar interrupted suddenly, and straightened her not-so-large chest.

　　"You are called bombing, and you can do it with pure strength." Ryota said, "Don't confuse us, okay?"

"Aren't you a reckless person yourself, what qualifications do you say about me... hmph." Ishtar replied dissatisfied.

　　"Shiro-chan, did the table disappear, or was it broken into particles that we can't see?"

　　Inaho looked at the empty ground and asked.

　　Misaki didn't miss either: "Is this an increase in entropy?"

　　"Oh? As expected of two top scholars, both of you immediately got the point." Ryota showed a somewhat satisfied smile.

　　"What is an increase in entropy?" Mine asked like a curious baby.

　　Even Shinobu pricked up her ears.

　　"Mortal, learn more, you don't even know such a simple concept."

　　Ishtar glanced at the two of them as if looking at a country bumpkin, and her expression revealed a unique air of superiority.

　　"Shiro, explain to them, let them learn a lot."

　　"..."

　　Ryota couldn't help but give Ishtar a "you die fast" look.

　　"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ishtar asked guiltily.

　　"You don't know, do you?" Ryota rolled his eyes.

　　This time, Inaho explained: "Increasing entropy is a law of nature. An isolated system will evolve from order to disorder… The simple metaphor is that everything you see will eventually lead to destruction."

　　"What?" Mine was surprised.

　　"Yes, you can classify the death of life, the decay of life, as an entropy increasing phenomenon."

　　"What about Teigu? Will it be destroyed too?"

　　"Teigu?" Inaho looked curious.

　　"It is a weapon from her world, with some special powers."

　　Ryota explained as well as reminded: "Mine, let alone Teigu, even the sun and moon that you are used to seeing will one day be destroyed, but the time will be very long."

　　"Hah? Not even the sun can escape…" Mine fell into astonishment: "Then there would be no sunlight, wouldn't we have no difference between day and night? Terrifying..."

　　Ryota: "..."

　　This makes it how to complain ...

　　"So..." Misaki looked at Ryota curiously, "Shiro-chan, your entropy ability increased?"

　　"It approaches or includes an increase in entropy, but the specific conceptual depth is more... Um... Stronger."

　　Ryota didn't know how to describe it, so he casually described it.

　　Without further ado, he explained in detail: "Evil emotions contain all of man's ugliness, depravity, filthiness, and evil. After the soul flows out through this bridge built by emotions, it bounces off into the real world, which is all kinds of destruction, destruction, death, and curses. When these phenomena come together, what they eventually form is the power to return everything to nothingness. Simply put, I can crush things into nothingness."

　　Changing the subject, Ryota added: "Of course, now it's not so exaggerated, and it's almost ineradicable on a physical level. As for the conceptual level, all of you memorized the existence of that table and reduced the concept in your minds to nothing. Maybe in the future, I can do this kind of thing. "

　　"Remove and erase all existing records..." Inaho's eyes rarely showed shock, "What a terrifying power."

　　"Can this kind of power deal with Goddess Tiamat?"

　　Ishtar suddenly looked into Ryota's eyes and asked with great interest.

　　"No." Ryota replied.

　　"Why? Isn't that amazing!"

　　"Ishtar, please think about the power gap for the time being."

　　Ryota showed a somewhat subtle glance at Ishtar.

　　"Gilgamesh is still wielding the Anti-World Noble Phantasm, if you let him slash Tiamat with his sword, how effective would that be? But if I had the power to destroy stars, I could kill Tiamat with a brick. I mean, you have to understand, right?"

　　Ryota shook his head and concluded: "Going over to your side now, the most I can do is protect you. To solve the fundamental problem, it's almost time."

　　"I don't need your protection." Ishtar turned her head. The cheeks that were slightly covered in hair looked slightly rosy.

　　Ryota was quite surprised, he didn't know if Ishtar got that trait from tsundere Tohsaka Rin.

　　"You have also seen his ability, let's get down to business."

　　Ryota clapped to get everyone's attention: "Mine, go and solve the difficulties on your side first, then deal with Shinobu's side. Try to finish all the trifles today, then take a break. Let's start the team adventure."

　　"It will be finished in one day. Mine felt a little exaggerated, "Can it be done?"

　　"This will definitely work!"

　　Ryota's eyes showed a strong confidence.

　　He has been experimenting with his own abilities in space, to be honest it is quite boring.

　　He had long wanted to vent in actual combat.

　　As long as the process was just a simple beating of the children, he didn't mind.

　　"Is there really no need to carry the Death Note?" Mine showed a regretful look, "I really want to try writing some names."

　　"No need," said Ryota, "Also, Inaho wants to measure my battle data. Now the time is right, and the Death Note can't do anything to me."

　　In fact, he still felt a little confused about Death Note. The range is too wide, right?

　　It was no longer a matter of beheading the officials of the current dynasty with the sword of the previous dynasty.

　　It's all over the world... Who gave you the right to keep killing people?

　　Forget it, the reasons will be explored when we have the strength and opportunities in the future.

　　For now...

　　"Mine, open the 'door', let's begin."
