Chapter 32: The Godly Skill from the KonoSuba World

"Destruction?!"

Hakurou's pupils shrank as he instantly thought of something. "Could it be! In the path of that strike just now, did she destroy the very air and space?"

"So that's how it was..."

Seeing Bai Luo's silent smile, Hakurou was inwardly shocked, his hand stroking his beard, trembling slightly.

Ogerpon's spatial movement wasn't so much a spatial skill as it was a variation of her 【Destroyer】 ability. By shattering space, she could perform an incredibly violent, instantaneous leap.

This process was far swifter than ordinary spatial teleportation that relied on coordinate positioning, and it was almost impossible to interfere with or interrupt.

Of course, traversing through shattered space with one's physical body would inevitably cause immense damage. Apart from an existence like Ogerpon, with her astonishing physical toughness and bug-like recovery ability, no one would dare to cross space in such a manner.

"How reckless..."

Hakurou's mouth twitched as he heard this, thinking to himself that Ogerpon's actions were simply outrageous.

"Then, what about the force that was wrapped around the club just now?"

"Oh, that." Bai Luo explained, "Aside from pure, monstrous strength—that is, Ogerpon's own power—it's likely because she used 【Destroyer】 to pulverize everything in her path."

After Pon-Pon's evolution, the depth of her Unique Skill, 【Destroyer】, had also increased. If the previous 【Destroyer】 could only demolish things Pon-Pon could see and touch, now she could forcibly destroy even phenomena like air resistance, gravity, light, and sound according to her needs.

"The violence of shattering space, a strike that destroys the rules themselves."

If Ogerpon hadn't held back and had let the Ivy Cudgel land on Benimaru's head, Hakurou and the Red Ogre Chief couldn't even begin to imagine the result. A burst head would be the bare minimum. Even part of the village behind Benimaru would likely have been obliterated by the storm kicked up by the Ivy Cudgel.

"Is this the power of Lady Ogerpon?"

Shion and Souei, who had watched the duel between Benimaru and Ogerpon, had expected Benimaru to lose, but they never imagined he wouldn't be able to withstand a single move. Not to mention, Ogerpon had been holding back.

"Cough! Cough cough cough~~"

Bai Luo's Heal spell was astonishingly effective, and Benimaru quickly regained consciousness. He first sat up in a daze, and then the image of Ogerpon's strike flooded his mind, making his heart nearly skip a beat.

It wasn't until Souei called out to him from the side that Benimaru snapped back to his senses.

"Thank you for your guidance, Lady Ogerpon!"

Benimaru bowed to Ogerpon with sincere gratitude. He was convinced, completely won over by Ogerpon's power.

Moreover, Benimaru was certain that Ogerpon's strength was definitely not as simple as just A-rank. A-rank was merely Ogerpon's magicule level, but the combat power she could unleash was far above A-rank, likely having already reached the legendary Disaster-Class (Special A).

"Want to go again? Anyone is fine—you can come as many times as you like."

Ogerpon slung the Ivy Cudgel over her shoulder. She looked around, challenging the Ogres.

"Don't be afraid of getting hurt. Pon-Pon won't kill you."

There was one more thing Bai Luo didn't say: even if someone did have an accident, he could bring them back to life.

Resurrection was the highest-level skill of an Archpriest from the world of KonoSuba. Of course, Bai Luo's Resurrection was certainly not as overpowered as Aqua's. 

His Resurrection had significant limitations. First, the deceased's body needed to be as intact as possible, with at least 70% of it remaining. Second, the time of death could not exceed five minutes.

However, the five-minute time limit wasn't absolute. It mainly involved the soul. If the deceased's soul could be preserved, and Bai Luo had a method to reconstruct the body, then resurrecting the dead would become incredibly simple.

"Mm-hmm, I'll be gentle."

Ogerpon revealed an incredibly pure smile. Pokémon naturally loved to battle, and even after becoming a monster, Pon-Pon hadn't changed this habit.

……

And so, over the next three days, under the pretext of understanding everyone's current strength, Ogerpon beat up all 250 Ogres in the village, including the children.

Of course, Ogerpon was very measured. With the young Ogres, she mostly just played around. Even when she sent them flying, she held back her strength.

Although Benimaru had been defeated once, he didn't give up the challenge. Only this time, Benimaru had learned his lesson and called upon Souei, Shion, and about ten other Ogres.

Of course, the result was a foregone conclusion. In the face of absolute power, numbers were meaningless. Whether it was one person challenging her, or dozens, or even a hundred-strong Ogre army besieging her, they still couldn't touch a single hair on Ogerpon.

However, elite Ogres like Hakurou and the Red Ogre Chief did manage to make Ogerpon a little excited.

Hakurou's swordsmanship was incredibly tricky and elusive. Unfortunately for him, Ogerpon's perception was astonishing. After activating Grassy Terrain, she could even use the natural elements to lock onto her enemy.

The Red Ogre Chief was immensely strong and physically tough. A pity he ran into Ogerpon, who possessed the 【Destroyer】 skill.

With the enhancement of 【Destroyer】, the green Ivy Cudgel was like the mythical staff of Sun Wukong—a graze would injure, a solid hit would mean death.

Hakurou's sword merely brushed against the Ivy Cudgel and shattered into a shower of iron filings. The Red Ogre Chief had it worse. His arm was grazed by the Ivy Cudgel and instantly dissolved into a cloud of blood mist. A small part of his body was pulverized by Ogerpon's strike.

Fortunately, Bai Luo's heaven-defying healing magic was there to save the Red Ogre Chief's life, allowing him to recover completely.

This battle thoroughly demonstrated Ogerpon's terrifying power to the Ogres. A-rank magicules, Special A-rank combat power. With her achievements, Ogerpon completely won the respect and admiration of the Ogres, also earning the title of the strongest in the Ogre tribe.

……

"Bai Luo, Pon-Pon feels like she's gotten stronger again!"

"Ah."

Inside the wooden house, Bai Luo had set up a soundproof barrier. He gently stroked the hair of the now girlish Pon-Pon and praised her, "250 Ogres, with the weakest being B-rank and the strongest, Hakurou, reaching B+ rank."

On average, each Ogre provided Ogerpon with about 80 magicules. Now, Ogerpon's magicules had broken through from 12,000 to 33,000.

"Thanks to you, Pon-Pon, I can break through to A-rank as well."

【Leader】 allowed Bai Luo to gain 50% of his dependent's Existence Value. Adding his original 1,500 magicules, his total of 18,000 magicules had far surpassed the standard for an A-rank monster.

【Notification: Individual 'Bai Luo' has met the evolution requirements. Evolve?】

The Voice of the World had already appeared in Bai Luo's mind when Ogerpon was halfway through her fights. However, Bai Luo didn't choose to evolve immediately. Instead, he waited until now, when Ogerpon's strength had reached its peak, to make his breakthrough!

"Pon-Pon won't let anyone disturb Bai Luo!"

As Ogerpon spoke, she manipulated her magical power, setting up a magical power barrier outside Bai Luo's soundproof barrier to block any fluctuations in magicules, ensuring that the commotion from Bai Luo's evolution wouldn't be detected by outsiders.

"Then I'll be counting on you, Pon-Pon."

Watching Ogerpon holding her Ivy Cudgel, looking like she was standing guard for him, Bai Luo silently thought, "Evolve!"
