Chapter 173 - Chapter 168: No, no, don't, don't, don't—Aaaaaaaahhhhh...

Just when Yazuki was about to bask in joy with his beloved 2D anime girls, he was summoned again?

His beautiful dream shattered, of course he was furious.

And thus, before him, the brainless Water Goddess Aqua was now wailing in agony—snot and tears flying everywhere.

At this moment, Yazuki revealed a demon king-like cruel smile, applying more force. Her face twisted grotesquely, smeared with tears and snot—truly disgusting.

The next second, he quickly let go. Her tears and snot had flown all over—so gross, this useless goddess.

"Uuuu… You, you realize what you just—!"

She didn't dare finish her sentence.

Under his terrifying gaze that seemed like he was about to devour her alive, this combat power zero—no, negative combat power goddess—trembled like a pitiful, helpless little animal.

Looking around the room, Yazuki furrowed his brow.

Disgusting. This goddess of water, Aqua—was she actually the goddess of filth? How much messier could she get?

Look at the mountain of snack bags, the beer bottles tossed all over, and the floor littered with unorganized manga?

Then, he stepped on a piece of feathered clothing that was trying to sneak away.

"Guh—!!!"

A strange, muffled yelp escaped Aqua's mouth.

While Yazuki had been scanning the mess, she'd been crawling on the floor trying to escape. But when he stepped on her robe, it tightened around her neck due to her earlier thrashing, leaving her gasping for air, face contorted in pain.

Grabbing the robe, he dragged this dumb goddess to the edge of her chair, then sat down with the posture of a king ascending his throne, overlooking the pathetic deity.

He picked up a snack nearby, tore it open, and popped some into his mouth—it actually tasted decent.

"Th-that's mine—"

"Hm?!"

Under a gaze so oppressive it felt like it could crush space itself, the idiot goddess shut her mouth and looked at him pitifully.

Honestly, she really lived up to her "negative combat power" reputation.

Up till now, Yazuki had only used his human soul's normal form to physically manhandle her. In other words, even a regular human, if aggressive enough and catching her off guard, could bully her like this?

"Speak. Why did you summon me this time?"

"Eh? Again summoned you?"

To Aqua, this wording felt off. But the moment he glared at her again, she stopped caring about that detail.

That gaze was too terrifying—absolutely demonic. Uuu...

"B-because... the reason is... to guide you back onto the right path… that's… m-my j-job…"

She blurted everything out like spilling beans.

Yazuki was stunned upon hearing it. All of this, just because of a single dark-themed anime like Madoka Magica? Even Heaven took notice?

Seems like Heaven wasn't so detached from earthly matters after all.

"So how exactly did you confirm that I was the one who uploaded the anime?"

He wanted to gauge how deeply Heaven monitored humanity.

So far, none of his disappearances from the surface world had raised alarms, so it seemed the surveillance wasn't overly obsessive.

Though he had always ensured he wasn't being observed, it was better to be cautious. This was a chance to investigate.

"Huh?!"

One look from his demon king-like gaze, and Aqua trembled again.

"T-the Heavenly Eye system from Heaven, it's..."

Basically, it was similar to the human world's surveillance cameras—it only activates analysis when certain triggers are met.

Of course, Heaven was "civilized." Forcibly reading a human's memories was forbidden.

Plus, due to concerns from the demon world about potential thought manipulation from Heaven, they interfered when things went too far—forming a kind of balance between Heaven and Earth.

So usually, the Heavenly Eye system only analyzed info collected from Earth, like school records, government databases, even arrest records from things like street fights.

In simpler terms, it was a brute-force hack into Earth's networks to gather data on targets.

In any case, they still somewhat respected human privacy.

As for why Yazuki was flagged as abnormal—it was because his upload of Madoka Magica caused massive emotional disturbances among humans, which triggered the Heavenly Eye system.

The sheer amount of negative energy was so overwhelming that it nearly broke through the surface world's boundaries—all of it flowing toward Yazuki's home.

A quick background check confirmed he was the uploader.

Hence, the system labeled him as having strong antisocial tendencies, and summoned him to "guide him to the righteous path," avoiding any descent into destructive behavior.

And so, he was assigned to this brain-dead goddess.

With her attitude, this was a guaranteed one-star rating!

She was already complaining about her boss—saying she was promised a vacation but still got assigned a task.

Also, Yazuki noticed all the wine, snacks, manga, and VIP coupons around were actually her rewards for helping a surface-world hero last time.

Enjoying yourself, huh?

"You—you can't! What are you doing tearing up my gourmet VIP coupons?! No, not those—!!"

The goddess wailed and rushed toward him, but was promptly kicked in the face and held back with a foot as Yazuki ripped the coupons, each turning into light and disappearing.

Then, his eyes turned toward the mountain of premium snacks. He raised his hand, adorned with the Demon King's Ring.

Despite being in spirit form, the ring's unique properties allowed him to use it here—albeit slowly.

A dark purple glow surrounded it as it sucked up the pile of snacks like a black hole.

"UWAAAAHHH—NOT THE ALCOHOL!! NOOOOO!! PLEASE DON'T—WAAAAHHHHHH!!"

Once again, he kicked away the clingy slime-like goddess sobbing and begging. He continued this "cruel and inhumane" act, at least from her perspective.

When all the alcohol was gone, Aqua's expression looked utterly broken—like a total mental collapse.

"No, no, give it back! Give it back! Give it back! Give it back give it back give it baaaaack…"

A goddess throwing a tantrum like a spoiled child denied her favorite toy—rolling on the floor and screaming.

This one was way too childish!

"Huh? Wait a minute… I'm a goddess. Why am I being bullied by a human?"

Oh, now she realized? Yep, definitely an idiot.

"But how did a human take away my stuff anyway? You—don't, don't come any closer!"

The idiot goddess now looked like a terrified maiden about to be violated.

Yazuki's eyes gleamed with menace, his aura brimming with deadly intent.

"Relax. Since you love drinking so much, I'll leave you a bit. Here, I'll feed it to you."

"No! No, no, don't—NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO—!!"

Water Goddess — Aqua — utterly humiliated!
