Haruto was done. Absolutely done.
He had fought Demon Kings. He had survived divine smites. He had defied fate itself. And yet—he could not escape a single overly persistent Goddess.
This could not stand.
He was an anomaly. A bug in the system. He had survived things that should have erased him. There had to be a way to break this ridiculous divine surveillance.
Haruto cracked his knuckles. "Alright, you smug divine stalker. You think you can watch me forever? Let's see you keep up with a guy who breaks reality."
Vellaria, sitting at her usual spot, arms crossed, tilted her head slightly. "You will fail."
"Try me."

Haruto moved faster than light. He blinked between dimensions. He tore through the very fabric of the world, rewriting his coordinates mid-step, moving in ways that should not be possible.
One moment he was standing in the capital. The next, he was in another realm entirely.
For a glorious five seconds, he was free.
Then Vellaria was already waiting for him.
"Predictable."
"HOW?!"
"You exist outside fate. But I exist outside all things. Your escape attempts remain inefficient."
Haruto gritted his teeth. "Alright. Fine. Let's see how you handle a reality collapse."
He shattered the laws of physics.
Reality glitched. Space-time bent. His existence lagged out of the universe.
For an instant, he ceased to exist.
Then, when he phased back in—
Vellaria was standing directly in front of him.
She looked completely unbothered.
"Foolish."
Haruto's eye twitched.
"Okay. Alright. Fine. What about this?!"

Haruto activated his final trump card.
The Ultimate Anti-Surveillance Move.
The "You Can't Observe Me If I Don't Exist" Bug Exploit.
He unmade himself. He deleted his presence. Every law of creation ceased to acknowledge him.
No gods. No mortals. No world itself could perceive him.
Vellaria was still staring directly at him.
Haruto screamed.
"You are an anomaly," she said simply. "But I am a constant. You will never escape my sight."
Haruto collapsed, face-down, into the dirt.

Final result: Haruto 0 - Vellaria ∞
Lilia appeared, delighted as always. "Oh my~! My dear husband is so full of energy! Always breaking reality, always fighting fate~!"
Haruto rolled onto his back, staring up at the sky, completely dead inside.
Vellaria sat beside him. Watching. Always watching.
"I hate this."
"You will adapt."
Haruto let out a long, despairing scream. Somewhere, the Gods were still laughing.
