**The story of a scythe-wielding TS girl striving in the game, "Death Loop: A Death Game Strategy," has passed the first round of the HJ Award!**

It's a work that can be read with peace of mind even by kindergarteners!

"---Hahahaha! How about it, are my people strong enough?!"

Far behind the battlefield, I was laughing to myself as I watched the people of Beibaron brutally beat the evil enemies. After all, I had been feeding them plenty of meat every day! They were all scrawny until I started using my healing magic to charm them, but now they're all buff and strong. No one has any injuries or illnesses. I've erased all of that with my healing power.

...I've been working hard to make sure everyone loves my territory.

I've defeated the economically bankrupt, incompetent lord Jaikof who suddenly declared war, turned the idiot Snail, a viscount who aimed to conquer the world and became a dragon, into wood, and secured the sea from the coastal territories while educating the pitiful children of the nobility, all to protect and guide the Beibaron territory.

It's because they've seen the back of such a great hero who loves peace that the people have become so brave in battle.

...But they're killing people without mercy, which is a bit scary! I wonder who they're taking after? I'll have to be more charming from now on.

"Sigh---I've ended up in a war with the country just by being kind to the commoners... Maybe this is fate. After all, I'm a being with the potential to be a 'King'...!"

There can't be two kings in one country, so the only way to deal with obstacles is to eliminate them!

Now that I think about it, my late father might have realized that I would eventually become a king. He used to drink while trembling every night, saying, "You're going to do something big one day." Hehehehehe!

Just as I was watching the battle with ease, a sudden aurora enveloped the entire battlefield.

"---Hahahahaha! Excellent, truly excellent, apostles of Beibaron! Your brave fighting spirit has truly moved me!"

It was a genuine surprise.

Just as the people of Beibaron were about to annihilate a massive army of several million, a white-robed old man suddenly appeared in the sky. Thinking he might be enemy reinforcements, they aimed their cannons at him, but in that instant, a scorching light that engulfed the entire battlefield was released from the old man's hand.

It was truly a divine strike, a brilliance that transcended the realm of fire magic, a light of 'the Sun' born from the fusion of atoms activated by overwhelming magical power!

"AAAAAAHHHHH!!!?"

"What the hell is this!?"

The heat of the light, reaching about 6,000 degrees, instantly vaporized the several million people of the capital. Even the strongest creatures, a group of dragons, fell from the sky, burned to a crisp, and the people of Beibaron, enhanced by the 'dragon factor,' mostly ended up as charred corpses.

"You were truly excellent, but to be defeated by such a simple attack shows a lack of spirit! Do you think you can surpass the greatest mage, Yaldabaoth, with such a weak resolve?!"

Descending onto the scorched battlefield, Yaldabaoth laughed loudly. Even amidst the burning plants and corpses, his regal presence repelled the surrounding flames. This old king was truly a being that had transcended humanity.

Thus, he had been extending his life through sheer will and waiting for a long, long time. Waiting for the appearance of a magnificent 'hero' who could defeat him.

"Hehehe... I have been thirsty for a long time. Born into the weak Gnoisia Kingdom 130 years ago, I conquered the surrounding countries one after another, amassing wealth and fame, but my heart was never satisfied. What I truly desired was an 'enemy' capable of killing me!

But now, such boring days are over! Let's begin the final and greatest battle! Come on---!"

As he raised his voice in a soulful cry, Yaldabaoth looked up with hungry eyes. There, a herd of six billion cows was flying towards him---!

"Mooooo---!"

The herd of cows, roaring as they descended, was an utterly absurd and destructive sight. With each full-grown cow weighing about a ton and six billion of them falling, the impact was comparable to a meteorite strike.

Faced with this incomprehensible and purely malicious 'attack,' Yaldabaoth's heart raced with excitement. Only the man he had been searching for could do something like this---!

"Hahahahaha! Then I must show you my best move---!"

Raising both hands to the sky, Yaldabaoth released a nuclear radiance. The six billion cows and the forbidden heat collided in the air, causing a massive explosion---!

"Mooooo---!"

"Yaaaaah---!"

A few seconds of intense competition between the sheer mass and heat. In the end, Yaldabaoth's magic prevailed. The flash from his hand burned the six billion cows to ashes. Ashes, charred remains, and partially burnt cows rained down from the sky over Beibaron.

"Hahahahaha! This is the first time in 130 years that I've been hit by such an attack! You certainly know how to make an entrance!"

Thus, the hungry old king faced the being approaching from the heat haze and hailed its name---!

"Nice to meet you. My archenemy---Rize Beibaron!!"

"You've done well to bring everyone here---Yaldabaoth Gnoisia!!"

Finally, the moment of confrontation arrived, and the overwhelming amount of magic power emanating from their bodies collided like a storm---!

Facing the young man with cold eyes, Yaldabaoth was certain. This was Rize Beibaron, the 'hero' who had sworn rebellion for justice!

Facing the laughing old man, Rize was certain. This was Yaldabaoth, the 'demon king' who had brainwashed and trained his son to be energetic, only to throw him away and destroy the castle!

...A man with a delusional old brain who believes his convenient fantasies without doubt, and a man with a rotten child brain who has no awareness of his own evil.

Such a nightmarish pair, releasing their god-like magic, finally faced each other in the final battle---... It's the worst.
