I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 362 Shinobu Kocho VS Doma [Part 1]

"...You're a hopeless lunatic! Do you even have a 'brain'? It's disgusting!"

Seeing that Doma was not ashamed of his wanton killing and devouring of young girls, but rather proud of it, and even whitewashed it as a sacred ritual, Shinobu Kocho's burning anger suddenly surged like boiling oil being poured on her, rushing straight to the top of her head.

She completely abandoned the gentle and considerate demeanor she had cultivated in the past to stabilize morale and appease the troops. Her teeth clenched, she unleashed a torrent of harsh and merciless abuse at Doma.

"Huh? How could you say that about me..."

However, he didn't even blink when taking the life of a young girl. Facing Shinobu's anger and questioning, Doma, who was usually so argumentative and eloquent, was now struck as if by an invisible arrow by Shinobu's merciless rebuke. He raised his hand to cover his chest and staggered back half a step in a slightly exaggerated manner.

The carefree, innocent smile on his face vanished in an instant, as if by magic, transforming into a tearful, utterly aggrieved expression. His long, white eyelashes trembled slightly, and a genuine glint of tears welled up in his iridescent eyes. It was as if the words Shinobu had just uttered were the most vicious curse in the world, truly piercing his "pure" heart.

"To speak so maliciously on our first meeting is truly heartbreaking... I genuinely wanted to share your pain."

But this utter hypocrisy, like the fragility and grievances performed by a mediocre actor, lasted only a brief moment, not even long enough for Shinobu Kocho's anger to erupt again.

The expression on Doma's face was like turning the pages of a book, revealing once again that carefree, innocent smile, as if he were completely unaware of the ways of the world.

"But don't worry, even if you're not my believer, I'll forgive your rudeness and sins because you're so adorable."

As he spoke, Doma lowered his eyes and looked with interest at Shinobu Kocho's face, which had become gloomy and distorted due to extreme anger, and made a suggestion to himself, just like before.

He even opened his arms wide, the large sleeves of his cult leader's robes hanging naturally at his sides. He looked every bit the compassionate savior, waiting for lost sheep to throw themselves into his arms.

"Poor child, your beautiful eyes have held so much darkness and pain, it truly breaks my heart. But now, it's all over... As the leader of the Eternal Bliss Cult, I possess boundless compassion and tolerance. So, pour out your heart to me! Give me your pain, your sorrow, your hatred... all your burdens. I will listen patiently, share your suffering, and guide you toward eternal bliss."

"After all, saving lost souls is my mission!"

As he spoke, Doma leaned forward slightly, his voice becoming even softer and more alluring. It was as if standing before Shinobu Kocho was not some man-eating demon, but a genuine priest willing to patiently listen to the confessions of believers. A serene and peaceful aura even subtly emanated from him.

These words, coupled with Doma's seemingly innocent face and gentle, considerate tone...

If an ordinary person heard this, they might be momentarily confused and misled by this carefully crafted lie, believing his bewitchment.

But to Shinobu Kocho, every word sounded like the hiss of a venomous snake, full of blasphemy and mockery.

In particular, when Doma mentioned words such as "pain," "sadness," and "hatred," Shinobu Kocho felt a wave of physical nausea and vomiting. Despite being the source of all this pain and the culprit who personally created a series of tragedies, he still dared to shamelessly claim the position of "savior" in front of her and hypocritically claim to be thinking of others.

Anger surged and compressed within her chest, threatening to completely destroy Shinobu's reason.

Finally, with the veins on her forehead bulging, Shinobu Kocho could no longer contain herself and questioned Doma through gritted teeth.

"Ha, you really dare to say that... It was clearly you who killed my sister! Do you remember this haori I'm wearing? Don't tell me you've forgotten!"

"Hmm? Hiss... Oh—! I remember now! You're that girl who uses Flower Breathing, right? No wonder you looked so familiar, so you're her sister!"

Faced with Shinobu's stern questioning, Doma not only did not give a perfunctory response, but instead frowned slightly and seriously began to recall.

After a brief silence, Doma, his eyes shining, began to comment on the already sacrificed Kanae Kocho in front of Shinobu Kocho.

"She was a gentle and lovely child, her fighting posture as graceful as a flower petal. From the first moment I saw her, I knew that her soul must be incredibly pure, and her taste must be a rare delicacy... It's just a pity that the sun rose at the most inopportune moment, just as I was about to devour her and grant her eternal happiness. Otherwise, I actually wanted to completely consume her..."

It was at this very moment!

Before Douma could finish uttering those blasphemous words, his pent-up anger and hatred exploded completely at that moment!

Along with Shinobu Kocho's petite figure, it was as if a spring that had been suppressed to the extreme was suddenly released, and it flickered erratically like a ghost.

Fueled by rage, her speed exploded to its limit. The wooden floor she had previously stepped on even developed tiny cracks, leaving a series of dazzling purple afterimages in the air.

In the blink of an eye, Shinobu Kocho had already traversed the considerable distance between them. Like a fluttering yet deadly poisonous butterfly, she concentrated all her strength, speed, and hatred at the tip of her blade with an extremely tricky and illogical angle!

"Insect Breathing, Bee Fang Dance, True Dance!"

"Pfft!"

A soft yet clear sound, like a sharp object piercing through some kind of gelatinous substance, rang out.

The rapier, much thinner than a regular Nichirin Blade, pierced precisely into Doma's left eye, which was shimmering with iridescent light! And with Shinobu Kocho's continued force, the blade went deeper until it pierced through Doma's head!

It was obvious that even someone as powerful as Upper Moon Two as Doma, in a completely relaxed state, even if he instinctively raised his hand to try and intercept Shinobu's attack the moment he sensed danger, he still couldn't withstand Shinobu's angry thrust that exceeded his own limits. He could only watch helplessly as the sharp sword tip, constantly flashing with a cold light, rapidly enlarged before him.

"Oh dear, what an impatient young lady! I haven't even finished speaking, and you're already making your move. That's so impolite, and it doesn't suit your cute personality at all~"

Even so, after suffering a fatal blow that would have killed any living being on the spot, Doma showed no sign of pain or despair, and his voice did not even tremble.

He still maintained that chillingly "innocent" smile.

He even tilted his head, using his remaining seven-colored right eye to "examine" Shinobu Kocho, who was standing right in front of him, with great interest. He then grinned and praised her with a cheerful smile.

"But such a fast thrust, truly worthy of a Pillar! I didn't even have time to react. You're amazing! I like you more and more!"
