"Don't run."
Aaron held Anzu back and fired a shot without even raising his head.
The silent bullet accurately hit the Brachiosaurus's forehead.
The many-eyed Brachiosaurus's head tilted back, and its body paused slightly, but then, it roared, its many eyes glowing with bloodlust, and its nearly ten-meter-long head fell like a meteor hammer.
Aaron remained unhurried, firing several shots consecutively.
Each shot accurately hit its brain, then the two sides of its abdomen and chest.
Before the many-eyed Brachiosaurus's head could strike down, it finally lost all its vitality due to multiple fatal wounds.
The boss is dead!
Hachiro was dumbfounded.
A broken pistol actually killed the big boss without taking any damage?
Where did this monster come from!!!
Hachiro admitted that he had misjudged.
Aaron was a superhuman not inferior to him. He certainly had no confidence in killing this boss so easily under the same conditions.
No, no one could do it!
Aaron was the monster!
Witnessing this boss, weighing at least a hundred tons, fall straight down, Hachiro was both surprised and felt his blood stir.
It had been a very, very long time since he had felt this way.
Finally, there was another person who could make him feel the threat of being challenged.
Hachiro directly canceled his invisibility and eagerly asked, "How did you do it? You instantly killed the big boss with the shittiest weapon that needs charging."
Aaron returned the gun to Anzu and casually said, "Is it difficult? How can a gun be such an inconvenient thing?"
Hachiro's lips twitched.
The key was that the Z-gun really was that inconvenient.
It was like killing a level 100 boss monster in a game with the broken beginner's sword everyone starts with.
Was it reasonable?
Hachiro still wanted to communicate with Aaron,
However, because the boss was killed, this mission ended. Their bodies were transported away by some force, like data.
Aaron knew at a glance that this was quantum teleportation technology.
He could do it too.
"You are very good. I acknowledge you. I look forward to our next meeting." Hachiro's eyes showed determination.
Aaron said strangely, "Who are you? Do I need your acknowledgment? Don't you have any self-awareness? Get lost."
Hachiro's mouth hung open, wanting to say something, but he was already teleported away.
After he disappeared, Anzu's body had also been partially teleported away.
"Um... my name is Yamasaki Anzu. Can I know your name?"
"Of course, my name is Aaron."
"Aaron..."
Anzu looked at Aaron with a face full of reluctance.
What a pity. Would they have a chance to meet again?
Thinking of her own weak strength, Anzu highly doubted she would survive the next battle.
Perhaps this was their last meeting?
She never expected their first meeting would also be their last. This world was truly too cruel.
With that thought, Anzu bit her lip and suddenly hugged him. "Thank you! Mwah~"
"How I wish we could become a family and live together forever."
Aaron didn't refuse her embrace.
Seeing Anzu's look of parting for life and death, he couldn't help but smile and say, "Anzu, have you considered changing teams?"
"Eh?"
Anzu's eyes were puzzled.
Just looking at Aaron's mysterious smile, Anzu only had time to say one last thing, "Wait for me here."
As people chosen by the black sphere (Gantz), they would all return to the safe house after the battle ended.
There was only one black sphere in the safe house, located somewhere in Osaka.
After the scoring was over, they could leave on their own and live like normal people. But when the next mission began, they would be forcibly gathered again to fight monsters.
Aaron was not chosen by death, so he would not be selected by the black sphere.
Anzu only hoped Aaron would wait for her and then send her off.
One should truly enjoy oneself before death, shouldn't one?
—
Tokyo Team safe house.
Anzu stared blankly at the group of people around her, each with a sorrowful expression.
An old man, a cool-headed young man, a big-chested woman... Eh, the big star Reika?
"This is the Tokyo Team?!" Anzu was stunned.
Wasn't she in the Osaka Team? Did the black sphere have a team transfer function?
She had never heard of it.
"Hm? How do you know we're the Tokyo Team?" Reika frowned slightly, turning her body to avoid Anzu's burning gaze.
"Uh... if I said I was from the Osaka Team, would you believe me?" Anzu was very confused.
She thought of what Aaron said before they parted.
Could he have done it?
"Wait, why are there only a few of you left? Where are the others? Don't tell me..." Anzu's eyes widened.
She remembered that the Tokyo Team had quite a few people, including the skilled Kurono Kei.
Yoshikazu sighed, "He died, sacrificing himself to save us, perishing with the final boss."
"Ah, I'm sorry!"
Anzu felt very embarrassed.
At this moment, the black sphere began to score.
Yoshikazu Suzuki: One point.
Joichiro Nishi: Five points.
Reika Shimohira: Two points.
Anzu Yamasaki: One hundred points!
"Huh? One hundred points? Me?!" Anzu was bewildered.
Reika and the other two looked at her in surprise. She was truly a hidden master, a high-scorer had arrived.
Joichiro, who was initially somewhat repulsed by the babbling Anzu, swallowed the words he was about to say when he saw this.
A hundred-point big shot was terrifying!
As a mere five-point nobody, he had no right to speak in front of a hundred-point big shot.
"Uh... is there something wrong with your black sphere?"
"I clearly... didn't kill a single monster?"
Anzu was both excited and confused.
Joichiro was silent for a long time, wanting to say that showing off would bring disaster, but she was a hundred-point big shot.
At the last moment, he changed his words, his voice unconsciously softening a bit, "I didn't expect you to be so humorous."
?!
I'm serious!
Yoshikazu's face was full of admiration. "Could it be that Gantz knows our team is left with the old, weak, and sick, so it specifically transferred a high-level player from the Osaka Team to lead us in the next battle?"
Reika nodded, giving Anzu a few extra glances. "Gantz doesn't make mistakes."
Gantz was God, how could God have a bug?
Anzu originally thought so too, but she was certain she hadn't killed any monsters.
"Gantz? Are you kidding? Is there a bug?"
Gantz: Everything is normal, all procedures are compliant.
Anzu didn't believe it. "But... Aaron killed all the monsters, how did it get counted to me? You haven't been threatened, have you?"
Anzu herself wanted to laugh as she said it. How could Gantz be threatened?
Gantz: Everything is voluntary, no threats received.
"Detecting new warrior, collecting data."
After an eerie silence, the black sphere displayed an image.
Everyone's eyes widened.
Especially Anzu, looking at that familiar face, she looked as if she had seen a ghost.
"Aaron!"
At the same time.
Osaka Team safe house.
After Hachiro was teleported back to the safe house, he immediately scanned his surroundings but didn't see Anzu.
Other members of the Osaka Team also returned one after another.
The Osaka Team leader was Nobuo, an old man who had scored one hundred points four times, possessing the super weapon Gravity Gun and the Gantz motorcycle.
The second-in-command was a bald man named Shimaki, skilled in swordsmanship.
"Damn it, you completed this mission again, Hachiro." Shimaki looked at Hachiro with both apprehension and fear.
He had originally wanted to try to score one hundred points again and mock Nobuo fiercely, but this time, they hadn't even seen the boss before the mission ended.
"It wasn't me, someone else killed the boss." Hachiro said indifferently.
Shimaki was stunned, looking around. "Who?"
Nobuo frowned, was there another master in the team?
At this moment, the black sphere had begun to score everyone.
Shimaki: Ten points.
Nobuo Muroya: Ten points.
Hachiro Oka: Zero points.
Huh? Zero points?!
All members of the Osaka Team were shocked. The monster got zero points?
Hachiro's expression was quite bad. He was only concerned with watching the show, he didn't expect to become the clown himself.
Zero points...
The lowest score ever, it was simply a disgrace.
After Shimaki finished reviewing everyone's scores, the highest were his and Nobuo's, ten points.
He couldn't help but ask, "Hachiro, who exactly killed the boss?"
Hachiro hesitated for a moment and said, "An ordinary person."
"Ah?!"
"Are you kidding? An ordinary person killed the boss? How is that possible!"
Shimaki and Nobuo both didn't believe it.
Monsters had extremely strong vitality, even the most ordinary monsters were difficult to kill with ordinary firearms.
Let alone the mission boss.
At this moment, another image appeared on the black sphere.
Anzu Yamasaki: One hundred points.
Hachiro's eyes widened.
Shimaki was silent. "I'd rather believe an ordinary person killed the boss than believe Anzu could get one hundred points."
Hachiro's eyelids twitched. "The black sphere... can also make mistakes? It's fake, it's all fake!"
—
Tokyo Team safe house.
Anzu stared blankly at the black sphere,
"Detecting new warrior, collecting data..."
"Data error... Re-collecting... Data error!"
"Warning, warning, detecting abnormal data... Zzzzt—"
"Data correction complete, no abnormalities."
"Welcome, great Ultimate Life Form!"
The old, weak, and disabled team members watched with wide eyes as the black sphere went from abnormal to respectful, and even... fawning?
Honestly, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have imagined that Gantz, mysterious and terrifying like God, could also have such a submissive side.
This was illogical!
Great Ultimate Life Form? What kind of title was this? Was it another mysterious and terrifying monster?
It directly invaded the black sphere headquarters.
Joichiro became slightly vigilant, his Z-gun already poised.
Reika looked at Anzu, asking in surprise and uncertainty, "You know him?"
Anzu was also completely bewildered. "Yes, I saw him in Osaka during the last mission. He used my Z-gun to kill dozens of monsters and a multi-eyed giant dragon dozens of meters tall."
"I didn't kill a single monster, he killed them all."
Reika's pupils contracted. "So amazing!"
She subconsciously picked up her Z-gun. Why was Aaron so outstanding with the same weapon?
One cleared the entire field and became the MVP, while the other only scored two points.
So powerful!
Yoshikazu pointed at the black sphere and shouted, "Look, his data is out! Wow, it's glowing gold!"
The others looked.
The border around Aaron's data was made of brilliant gold, and even the font was gold. His picture was even glowing.
Meanwhile, their data profiles were ominous black and white.
Comparing the two, Aaron clearly looked like a super VIP guest, with boss-level treatment, while they were just…
Name: Aaron
Gender: Male
Age: 23 / ???
Attribute: ???
Ability: ???
Title: Ultimate Life Form, ???
It was concise, but that string of question marks all indicated his extraordinary nature.
Yoshikazu's mouth gaped open. "So… so strong!"
Joichiro snorted as he looked at Aaron's picture, then subconsciously turned his head, looking at his reflection in the glass, a bit silent.
Reika exclaimed softly, "So handsome!"
Anzu nodded in agreement. "Yes, it's like he walked out of an anime. If charm were a stat, it would definitely be MAX."
Just then, with a flash of golden light, Aaron made a dazzling entrance.
"As expected of a great god, even his entrance image is so unique." Yoshikazu said, then prostrated himself before Aaron.
"Please take me under your wing, sir. I am Yoshikazu. Please guide me."
Aaron's lips twitched, a bit caught off guard by Yoshikazu's actions.
Joichiro snorted, then his gaze met Aaron's for a moment before he quickly looked away and put away his weapon.
