Hayoku and Zenatori sit in Hayoku's limo and they leave the city. Hayoku glances at Zenatori and says,
"I assume you know about relative manifestations, how about absolute."
Zenatori looks shakingily,
"Are we gonna ignore the fact half of Bunkyo is destoryed?"
Hayoku slits his eyes,
"Ah that, apparently a Shinda-Class Automorph did that, unfortunately I wasn't there at the moment."
Hayoku notices the worried look on Zenatori's face and says,
"Hey don't worry, I'm the strongest there is."
He reachs his arms out and slightly yawns before continuing.
"Speaking of automorphs, due to the Hirata Botan situation and the fear of greater threats, I've been tasked to subdue a S-Grade Automorph. It's name is Sogarukoga, It on It's own is powerful but It has a rather unique ability, everytime you kill it, it comes back stronger. It orginally was born really weak about a few decades ago after the Kekka period and its been growing in strength since then. The Overseers had to issue a warning to not even approach it, so we can figure out its weakness. It's most likely soul elimination like every Automorph but we can't be so quick."
Zenatori looks at him,
"Do you think you could subdue it?"
Hayoku scoofs and looks slightly offended at even asked the question, he then says,
"I told you, I'm the strongest there is, I am strength. I'll just one shot it with my absolute manifestation, If it survives, well, we are all dead. But that won't happen."
"We're here sir." said the driver.
"Thanks Koubaski." said Hayoku.
Zenatori and Hayoku step out the car and Hayoku confronts the monster.
"Hey you big bastard." says Hayoku.
The gigantic red automorph turns back. It has extremely hard tactile skin and sharp edges around. No visable eyes instead its face is just one giant triangular plate.
Hayoku steps back and does a hand sign in each hand.
The of fire and ice combine to create a crackling ball of absolute Isotonic Force, before Sogarukoga can react Hayoku shoots the Isotonic ball at it.
The automorph is quickily obliterated and Hayoku says,
"Syneji I Bow: Subdue."
Zenatori says,
"That was pretty anticlimatic."
Hayoku says,
"Did you expect some giant fight."
Zenatori says,
"I'm not sure what I did to be honest."
Hayoku looks at Zenatori and says,
"I heard you learned Isotonic Force Manipulation. Try it."
Suddenly Zenatori Veins crackle with a greyish ooz flowing from them.
Hayoku looks slightly shocked and says,
"You're definitely an intresting one. I thought you learned it in the midst of an adrenaline rush so I just wanted to test if you could do it on command."
Zenatori scoofs,
"Trust me, Akari learned it already I'm nothing special."
Hayoku glares at Zenatori and says,
"Naoko Akari comes from a long line of Syneji Artists and has been learning it since she hit puberty, though I will admit its quite impressive shes already learned the relative in a year you can't keep holding yourself back Zenatori. The mind is the greatest enemy, don't enslave yourself Zenatori.
He slowly places his arm on Zenatori's shoulder
"be the Syneji Artist you were meant to be, be who you are meant to be."
A World on the Brink is an epic narrative full of high-stakes battles, deep emotional struggles, and the exploration of the human condition through the lens of supernatural power. Zenatori’s journey from an ordinary high school student to a powerful Syneji Artist is filled with moments of triumph, heartbreak, and profound realizations about the world and his place in it. As Zenatori continues to confront ever-stronger enemies and the mysteries of the Syneji, the fate of the world—and his own soul—hangs in the balance.
