English Translation:

The rules of the game shift… and everything becomes more dangerous.

Higuruma steps forward and adds a new rule — players can now transfer points to each other.
A simple change… but it changes survival itself.

Yuji gains a single point.
With it, both of them regain access to their cursed techniques.

But Higuruma doesn’t stay.

He admits the truth — the points he carries came from killing.
And the moment the barrier opens… he plans to surrender.
Not out of fear… but because staying any longer would make him hate himself even more.

Yuji watches him leave… silent, weighed down.

Elsewhere, Megumi faces Reggie.

Reggie studies him carefully.
“You survived… that means you’re strong.”

Then he offers something unexpected — an alliance.

Megumi stays cautious. He listens.

Reggie explains the Culling Game isn’t just a battle… it’s a ritual.
A system designed to gather cursed energy from players… and turn them into something beyond human.

Megumi questions it.

Reggie breaks it down — the number of players, the imbalance in strength, the colony system.
If there are hundreds in each colony… the weak will die first.
Only the strongest will remain.

And when that happens… the real plan begins.

Megumi realizes it — the game has already slowed.
In some colonies, it has practically stopped.

Reggie continues — teleportation scatters players, isolates them.
Some even die from it.
This is not just chaos… it’s controlled selection.

Then comes the real fear.

Once only the strongest remain… a final move will wipe everything out.

A bomb.

Not necessarily an explosion… but something far worse.

Cut to another place — Kenjaku sits calmly among officials, as if everything is already in motion.

Back to Megumi.

He notices the girl with Reggie. She seems weak.

Reggie reveals the truth — she is bait.
A trap to lure in opponents who let their guard down.

Megumi’s expression hardens.

He makes an offer — if they have enough points, transfer them.
Then maybe… he will consider joining.

Reggie refuses.

Negotiations end.

The fight begins instantly.

An attack comes from behind — Megumi vanishes into shadows.
He repositions… summons Divine Dog.

Tactical shift — Megumi uses shadows not just to attack, but to evade and control space.

The dog strikes Reggie.
Megumi counters another attacker and throws him off the roof.

A second shikigami crashes down… crushing the enemy into the ground.

Reggie reacts fast — drives blades into the Divine Dog’s face.

He sees through Megumi.

“You’re holding back… because you need our points.”

A dangerous truth.

If Megumi doesn’t fight to kill… he risks losing everything.

Then—

Something falls from above.

An eye.

Megumi looks up.

It explodes.

And in that instant… the game tightens its grip.
