Chapter 558 The Power of Role Models

Chapter 558 The Power of Role Models
Las Vegas,
This city is famous all over the world.
Countless people squander their wealth and enjoy themselves here, only to end up impoverished and disgraced; others become rich overnight, indulging in a life of luxury and reaching the pinnacle of success.

Because this is the world's largest gambling city! It boasts over 200 casinos, with one large casino covering 400,000 square meters and employing as many as 8,000 people. There are banquet halls that can accommodate thousands of people, restaurants of all kinds, shops, fitness clubs, and theaters. Here, you can enjoy any kind of luxury in the world, as long as you have money!
It's even said that the oxygen content in the air is 60% higher than outside; allowing people to maintain a constant level of energy and spend money recklessly.
boom! ! !
The magnificent casino lobby dome suddenly exploded, and a young black man dressed in hip-hop attire crashed into the rubble.

"Hey, Alex, are you alright?"

A figure flashed, and Agent Mike, in a tattered suit, appeared in the ruins.

"Cough cough~~"

“I can’t die!!”

He climbed up from the crater in the ruins.
The rap king named Alexander looked around.

"Back when I first came out of the slums in the south of the city, I even sang here."

As a luxury casino, it's natural to invite popular singers to create an atmosphere and enhance the casino's image: back in the day, young rappers would come here to perform and make money.

Now, the once bustling and glittering casino is nothing but ruins.

"Fight first."

Agent Mike frowned as three 'parasitic puppets' with only their upper bodies floated around him.

He has 'died' twice.

If the 'Blacklight Virus' hadn't been enhanced to its highest level, capable of plundering someone's heart as a 'life' to offset fatal injuries, he wouldn't be able to stand here now.

After all, the enemy possessed 'divine bloodline', making them far stronger than these veterans.

call out------

boom! ! !
A meteor hammer came hurtling through the air and crashed into the ruins of the casino.

The massive modern building first expanded suddenly, and the reinforced concrete eventually could not withstand the impact, disintegrating and flying out in all directions in the white shockwave; then the ground suddenly sank into a deep pit the size of a football field.

Completely erased!
"Hey, hey, hey, is that not enough?"

With a jolt of the chains, the meteor hammer flew back with a clatter and was caught by a woman in a leather jacket and military cap.

"I'm getting really excited, don't die!"

Amidst the shattered ruins of the casino building, two figures, shimmering and flying through the debris, were ejected backwards, both with their teeth clenched.

Everyone else was only at the C+ level, but unlike these veterans who became 'tired' after their burst of power, the leather-clad, chained woman in front of them showed no signs of fatigue whatsoever.

"Is this guy's 'spiritual power' limitless?!"

Alexander, whose skin was already dark, had a face as black as coal.

“They were born from the flames of the ‘Sun God,’ so their endurance is definitely beyond our reach.”

While directing the 'Bishop' behind him to launch an attack, Agent Mike pulled out a bottle, tilted his head back, and drank it down.

"Use 'Hero's Water'!"

"it is good!"

As the two took out the "Hero's Water," a specialty of the Sea Kingdom, and drank it, they once again unleashed visibly powerful spiritual energy.

"Hahaha~~ That's more like it!"

The leather-clad woman, wielding a meteor hammer, charged towards the two men, laughing maniacally.

As the battles continued, she became more and more adept at using her 'bloodline power', and her strength steadily increased. On the other hand, the 'veterans' were constantly exhausted and forced to leave the battlefield; or they were smashed into mincemeat and burned to ashes.

要完
boom--------!!!
Just then, a deafening explosion came from behind, causing the three fighters to turn around.

The explosion created a giant, blazing fireball.

While it may seem somewhat similar to a nuclear explosion, there are actually differences.

The difference is that this is an explosion created by chakra, carrying a strong personal spiritual imprint. Ordinary fire creatures not only cannot absorb it, but are even blasted to ashes on the spot.

"you again?!"

With a swing of his double-headed spear, the resulting shockwave swept away the massive plume of smoke rising from the explosion.

Manolos, engulfed in flames, looked up at the white dragon in the sky.

"Human, are you the reinforcements here?"

"Reinforcements?"

Most powerful individuals possess certain 'psychic abilities,' so language is completely irrelevant to them: the Yamanaka family's psychic transmission ability allows them to directly spread their consciousness, and Sora naturally possesses this skill as well.

Language is a lowly form of communication: even so, experts sometimes talk to themselves.

"I'm just here to practice my new skills; as for helping the people here..."

It was just something I did on a whim.

"This 'Azure Dragon' gentleman is certainly outspoken;"

Hearing Qiong Mei's bluntness, both the veterans and the officers of the Holy Church in America could only manage a wry smile.

"No matter what, at least we can breathe a sigh of relief."

"Hmm, looks like you've run into trouble?"

However, before the Americans could even breathe a sigh of relief, another crimson dragon flew over from the distant sky.

On the dragon's back sat a dashing young man dressed in finery and a little girl dressed as a priestess. Although most people didn't recognize them, their overly familiar greeting of Manolos and their posture atop the fire dragon immediately drew attention.
"Is this the 'Flame Lord' that KYG was talking about?"

"Two people. Fuck"

"Shet!"

The battlefield was filled with wails of agony, and the already wounded and exhausted American soldiers cursed and swore.

"Good! Akash, Dubra, let's team up and take him down!"

Manolos pointed his double-headed spear at the Sky Maiden in the sky.
"Your companion didn't come this time?"

So, with their numerical advantage, they were determined to keep this guy here for good!

"There's no need to go to such lengths,"

However, Manolos forgot one thing: these dukes' 'children' were born noble and possessed eccentric personalities. Therefore:
"My intervention is enough!"

Snapped,

As he spoke, the dashing rogue, wearing a cape, tie, and sunglasses, snapped his fingers.

In an instant, the entire sky suddenly lit up!

That was a deadly radiance formed by the highly concentrated rays of hundreds or thousands of sunlights.

Each beam of dazzling light, capable of melting gold and iron and shattering mountains and seas, shot out from around the fire lord called 'Akash'. Countless scorching rays of light intertwined to form a net of death, enough to melt, cut, and ignite any matter in an instant.
"Hmm?"
However, the person in the black robe with red clouds above the white dragon...
The scene of being cut into pieces and burned to ashes did not occur.

In the sky, where beams of light intertwined, a black area suddenly appeared!

No, it's not really black.

It was simply because the magnetic field was distorted, resulting in a low-temperature area; to everyone's eyes, it was as if a patch of the sky had suddenly turned black.

The beams of high-temperature light were distorted and bypassed Qiong Mei by the powerful magnetic field as they approached her. Theoretically, a magnetic field should not affect the movement of light; however, the light created by 'Radiant Release' is essentially a stream of charged particles, so it will naturally be distorted by magnetic release.

This scenario is like:

"sunspot?"

"This is... the Black Shot Barrier?!"

The male 'Flame Lord' who launched the attack showed a human-like shock on his face.
"You little thief who dares to steal the power of the 'Creator'!"

I said,

In response to this question from the 'Fire Lord',

Qiong Mei couldn't help but raise her hand and rub her temples, mimicking someone else.

"If you're so afraid of your power being stolen, then don't come out at all. Just hide in the lava. Besides—"

Pointing to the sky, he saw a star hanging high above 'one astronomical unit,' or 1.496 million kilometers away.

"Can you still deny its existence?"

"It was my rudeness,"

After listening to Qiong Mei's words, the dashing, wandering-man-like 'Akash' bowed slightly, and then:

"Dubra! Manolos! Join forces and kill him!" Whoever this guy standing on the back of the white dragon is, he dared to dabble in the power of the 'Creator', he must die!

"what--!!"

However, he was met with a scream.
???

In the battlefield below, a massive 'fire lord' stumbled and staggered backward.

A dark mark was clearly visible on his chest.

"Feel sorry,"

The one who nearly ripped Manolos open with a single blow was Xiao, who was also wearing a black robe with red clouds and had his eyes closed.

His 'Decapitation Blade' had drunk its fill of blood from all sorts of extraordinary beings and was at its peak; coupled with the 'Black Flash' that Xiao had developed, which could tear apart Susanoo, it was naturally no problem to cleave this 'Flame Lord' in half.

"This is a battlefield, so I used a sneak attack."

Xiao, who openly admitted to his 'sneak attack', gripped the Executioner's Blade with both hands and assumed a charging stance.

"Damn bastard!!!"

With all attention focused on his 'old rival' in the sky, Manolos was caught off guard and struck in the chest by the suddenly appearing 'legendary human warrior'. Flames erupted from the wound, and he was enraged!

"I will burn you to ashes—"

brush,

As Xiao charged forward, a circle of darkness suddenly spread out from him.

In the blink of an eye, a vast darkness enveloped him and Mannoroth; only roars and impacts continued to echo, but the state of the battle remained unknown.

The opponent is very powerful? Simple, we'll prevent him from even using his abilities.

Close-quarters knife fighting in the dark is Xiao's specialty.

"So,"

Standing atop the white dragon, Qiong Mei raised her hand and pointed to the opposite side.

"If you have any other abilities that I might 'steal', then use them."

Standing atop the fiery dragon, the man in sunglasses, dressed like a dashing rogue, frowned.

"Let's go, Dubra."

"Okay, brother."

The little priestess next to him answered,

Without her making any move, a fiery figure resembling the Grim Reaper appeared behind her, wielding a massive scythe!

The next moment, the two giant dragons, carrying their masters, began to fight fiercely in the sky above the battlefield.

Tokyo,

Office of the Principal of the High School of Spellcasting.

"I said."

Yu, who was watching the game, couldn't help but rub his temples.

"Yiye, why are you locking the door?"

This is the principal's office!

Give me the key points
"Yu-kun, thank you for everything you've done for Xiaoying."

As Yu tilted her head, the quintessential black-haired young lady, Nagisa Ichiyo, slowly walked over, dressed in a traditional kimono.

“My mother has a forbidden curse on her,”

"It happened when everyone first came to my house."

"Is that you, Yu-kun?"

It's not hard to guess that at that time, apart from Yu who had somehow become extraordinary, there were almost no other extraordinary beings: and that style of black ink magic was unique to Yu alone.

"Xiao Ying gained extraordinary powers after that, which was also 'arranged' by you in secret, wasn't it?"

“After all, you are able to ‘communicate’ with the gods of Takamagahara.”

Everyone thought that Xiaoying was able to gain power in the early stages of her transcendent rebirth because she was a handmaiden of the Inari god.

But thinking about it carefully, is it possible that 'someone' contacted Inari first, which is why the deity bestowed power upon Inari in the early stages?
After all, the gods of the island nation don't seem to care much about 'faith': judging from the situation in that 'demiplane', the power of faith is just icing on the cake for high-ranking gods.

As she spoke, the girl walked to the desk;

Xiang You bent over, her long black hair cascading down to both sides like a waterfall.

The most tender thing is this lowered head.
"Thank you,"

"Xiaoying is my older sister, but I can't get her to go home."

Ultimately, Nagisa Ichiyo at that time was just a typical island nation heiress: although she seemed like an unattainable beauty, everything she had was based on her father's power.

She had no power to defy her parents. Although her parents didn't have much ill will towards Xiaoying, as an illegitimate child, it was impossible for them to openly bring her home.

However, after Xiaoying gained extraordinary powers, everything reversed: the Nagisa family had to appease Xiaoying.

Especially as the sacred tree took root and sprouted, Xiao Ying's status soared!

And all of this was secretly orchestrated by the man in front of her.

Nagisa Ichiyo isn't stupid. As her strength continues to improve, some of the doubts from back then have now been answered.

Although these 'truths' no longer important,

"Xiaoying and Xiaoqiong are good friends, and they are also my friends."

Yu put down her fingers that had been rubbing the sun.
"Even if you want to express your gratitude, you don't need to 'repay' me with your body, do you?"

Hearing Yu's helpless words, Nagisa Ichiyo smiled slightly.

"Yu-kun,"

"Given our relationship, you don't think I'll ever be able to get married, do you?"

Who is You?

The most powerful Onmyoji of the modern era, the principal of a high school of sorcery, the guardian deity of the island nation, and the girl who is suspected to be closely related to him—no, to him—who dares to covet her? Who dares to approach her?!

That was no longer a matter of being killed, but a disaster that would wipe out the entire clan!

Without even lifting a finger, the island nation's government would grind this 'outrageous' scoundrel to dust.

"I heard Nao has been reading parenting books lately,"

Nagisa Ichiyo gracefully sat down on Yu's lap.

"Xiao Qiong is here."

Tilting her head to glance at the battle in the mirror, Miss Nagisa Ichiyo leaned against Yu's chest.

"And I don't dislike Yu-kun either."

For a young lady like her, not being disliked is enough.

In marriages within wealthy families, is love even a factor?
joke!

Nao and Kosuke are both not here. If we don't go now, when will we?

I learned all of this from them—

"Well then, Yu-kun, hmm~~"
