Chapter 752 Each Person's 'Fate'

In the pitch-black universe,

There is a red planet.
It is orbiting the sun in a trajectory opposite to that of other planets.

Brush, ×2
A flash of light,
Two figures appeared out of thin air in the near-Earth orbit of this planet.

"Look, Venus."

Yu pointed to the reddish planet 'below' her feet. Because it was covered by sulfuric acid clouds 20-30 kilometers thick, these clouds had a reflectivity of up to 70% to sunlight, far exceeding the 30% of the blue-white planet. Therefore, this planet became the brightest natural object in the night sky, second only to the moon.

Now that Yu and her sister are observing it so closely, it appears as a blazing pale yellow light, covered with orange-white patterns that constantly light up like lava.

"This is a flash of light produced by a violent lightning phenomenon on Venus."

Yu explained to his younger sister: After all, this is his 'territory,' and he's much more familiar with it than his sister, who's visiting for the first time.

"It looks like a planet made of magma."

The younger sister, who was taken out for a 'trip' by Yura, looked at the planet beneath her feet and made this description.

"Yes, and also wrong."

Yu responded to her sister's words in this way.

On the surface, Venus does indeed resemble a magma planet, due to its atmosphere reflecting sunlight and intense lightning phenomena. However, Venus doesn't possess any 'eye-like' bloodline limit, making it unable to see through the 30-kilometer-thick sulfuric acid clouds.

But Venus is indeed a planet filled with flowing lava.

"What we're seeing now is only Venus's atmosphere. The surface of Venus is below—"

Holding his sister's hand, in a flash, the two of them traversed tens of kilometers of sulfuric acid clouds and appeared above the 'surface' of Venus.

"Ok?"

The younger sister turned her head, and a protective light instinctively shone from her body.

Under her radiance, all that could be seen were horizontally flowing clouds!
Because of its incredible speed, it has stretched into a horizontally moving "sea of ​​clouds," truly covering the sky and earth, with no beginning or end, and no boundaries.

The two stood in this pale yellow, high-speed sea of ​​clouds: this was Venus's 'clouds' composed of sulfuric acid and sulfur particles. That's right, Venus's 'rain' wasn't water, but concentrated sulfuric acid!
"How's the 'wind'? It's pretty strong, isn't it?"

Yu dared to bring his younger sister here, naturally he had confidence in her abilities;
Even under pressures dozens of times greater than atmospheric pressure, the planetary-level Hadley Circulation, with speeds of hundreds of meters per second, could not harm her.

"generally,"

The younger sister's calm reply was only possible because she possessed the 'Radiant Escape' ability;
Even an ordinary Ghost-level monster would be blown away and lose its bearings in this planetary-level 'storm'.

Moreover, the sulfuric acid mixed in with this sea of ​​clouds is not just for show; however, this atmospheric circulation covering Venus also has its positive effects:

Look over there—

Following the direction You pointed, her younger sister also turned to look.

It was a huge, flat aircraft, flying like a flounder through the planetary-level circulation: it didn't need any power, it could move at high speed just by being carried by the wind.

The true meaning of "a favorable wind lends its strength, sending me soaring to the clouds".

"Those are the 'circulation ships' developed by the 'Burning Legion' of this planet."

With the help of planetary atmospheric circulation, the Burning Legion's ships can travel across the planet with almost no power.
"Um?!"

Inside the flat-topped aircraft, a 'new human' passenger suddenly stood up.

He looked out the window and couldn't help but rub his eyes.

"What's wrong, Jason?"

Faced with his companion's question, the burly man hesitated for a moment.

"I saw two figures in the sulfuric acid cloud."

?

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

"Hey, what a lame joke! It really made us laugh!"

While his companions were laughing uproariously, the composed captain spoke calmly.

"It's easy to understand why the sulfuric acid cloud sea is accompanied by violent discharge phenomena and 'hallucinations'; you'll get used to it after flying it a few times."

"Sorry, maybe I'm seeing things."

He rubbed his eyes again, and the pale yellow clouds had already swallowed the two 'figures' he had seen earlier: perhaps, as the captain said, he had just been seeing things.

Think about it carefully, how could there possibly be a 'person' standing in this sea of ​​clouds?

Unless it's one of the lords of their Fire Demon clan...
"The Burning Legion is doing quite well here,"

Neither Yu nor her sister paid any attention to the aircraft that had just passed by: with their strength, so what if their whereabouts were discovered?

Besides, the two of them didn't hide their whereabouts at all; this was just their 'vacation' trip.

"It's not just about transportation, look below."

As the younger sister lowered her head, her gaze, as intense as the blazing sun, pierced through the sulfuric acid clouds and revealed:
A vibrant, modern city!
Yes, it's a modern city: the iconic skyscrapers, the straight streets, the dense lights, and the 'new humans' walking on the streets—if it weren't for the many fire creatures of all sizes interspersed on the streets, it would feel like going back to my hometown.

And the 'rivers' flowing through the city are crimson lava!
?

"These guys actually built a city on Venus without making a sound."

Since she 'mastered the divine skill', my sister has been staying in the office every day, watching over You; it feels like not much time has passed, but in the blink of an eye, the Burning Legion has already established a foothold on Venus.

"Of course, what do you think the 'Burning Legion' is?"

This is a truly 'centralized' society, where the Flame Lords have the power of life and death, and the new humans below have no power to resist whatsoever.

However, they were lucky. Under the leadership of 'Count Constance', the Flame Lords were all reliable. These 'new humans' were in the 'home construction period', and each of them wished they could work 5832 hours a day. Coupled with their mature technological knowledge, their development was incredibly fast.

As the saying goes, when extraordinary individuals engage in construction, they can move even the most mechanical teams to tears.

And, a day on Venus is 5832 hours!

"The sun rises in the west and lasts for 243 days, then sets in the east."

You pointed to the sky, noting that a day on Venus is longer than a year: Venus's orbital period is only 224.7 days.

Unfortunately, due to the thick sulfuric acid clouds, this planet cannot see the sun.

"So, how about we bring this Burning Legion under our command?"

Having already 'visited' this planet, Yu suggests:

"Your power surpasses that of any 'Fire Lord,' thanks to this shared ancestral power."

As long as Yu loosens her 'permissions' even slightly, in the eyes of all the 'Fire Demon Clan', her sister is their creator!
"don't want,"

Faced with the civilization and planet that Yu offered, the younger sister refused without hesitation. "Too much trouble."

The reason was not surprising at all, and Yu shrugged, having already anticipated it.

"Fine, since you don't like it—"

Then just ignore them.

Tokyo, the Tokugawa family.

"Touma Shinobu, please help me with my training!"

When 'light' came knocking on his door, Touma Kamijou scratched his head. Everyone knew each other so well, what was there left to 'train' for?

However, since it was his partner's request, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

but--

"You cannot use your right hand."

The girl 'Hikari' made the first request, which surprised Touma, but he didn't think much of it.

After all, his 'right hand' is indeed very overpowered. Any spells or extraordinary creations become useless as soon as he touches them. He is infamous throughout the extraordinary world, especially the Ishigani family, who consider him an 'untouchable' person.

"So it's martial arts training?"

Touma Kamijou, striking a confident pose,
"When it comes to fighting skills alone, I won't lose to anyone!"

That's for sure. Not to mention that Touma Kamijou has a solid foundation and is a veteran of countless battles, his immature "First of First" technique alone gives him an absolute advantage in close combat.

Neither Tokugawa Shizuka nor Hikaru could defeat him in hand-to-hand combat.

"I am launching my attack!"

Upon hearing the warning, the girl's dark pupils suddenly contracted.

The blackness transformed into the shape of a magatama, slowly rotating within the blood-red pupils, causing Touma to be slightly surprised.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're looking down on me too?"

There has to be a limit!

Having witnessed the power of top-tier beings like 'Heaven', 'Father', and 'Orochi', no matter how modest Kamijou Touma may be, he is not someone that can be dealt with by a mere 'One-Tomoe God Eye'.

Thump,

The 'Hikari' on the opposite side pushed off with his foot and charged towards Touma.

A straight punch?

Is there some hidden plan?
Tilting his head, Touma Kamijou easily dodged the opponent's oncoming punch, and slightly opened his mouth.

What's going on? It's not that the opponent has changed their tactics, but rather:

It's the most basic right straight punch!
?

Before Touma, who was full of questions, could figure it out, his opponent twisted his waist and threw a punch again, his left hand moving from bottom to top.

No, just how much do you look down on people with this rigid and methodical attack?

With his right hand behind his back, Touma even rolled his eyes.
At the same time, his left hand instinctively blocked and grabbed.
"Ouch~~"

The 'light' that he grabbed by the wrist had surprisingly little power, and he was actually pulled forward by it.

? !
"Be careful--"

He instinctively wanted to support the other person, but the rule of 'not using the right hand' made Touma hesitate for a moment;
As a result, the other person ran right into Touma's arms.

"Hikari, what are you doing?"

Touma, half panicked and half surprised, released his left hand after being hit by this move and put his arm around the other person's waist.

wrong!

The sensation from the touch made Touma Kamijou frown.

He'd sparred with 'light' before, and this tactile sensation...
"Are you the 'little sister'?"

It was only then that Touma Kamijou realized what was happening.

"Um,"

The girl, leaning against Touma's chest, let out a soft hum: it was less of an answer and more of a girl's shyness.

???

Has one of Hikari's 'sisters' finally developed an independent personality?

Shocked, Touma Kamijou then realized that their current position was far too intimate, especially if it were his 'little sister':
"Ahem, sorry, I didn't know you were my sister."

He helped the other person up, and took the opportunity to take a half step back, then coughed dryly with his fist clenched.

Where's your name tag?

"I put it away; I don't like that cold number."

Because she wasn't wearing a name tag and spoke in a 'light' tone, the clone sister that Touma mistook for her took a step forward, standing less than ten centimeters away from Touma.

"Touma-kun, how about you help me come up with a name?"

"Huh? I—"

"Can't you?"

Faced with the girl who took another step forward, her delicate face almost touching his, Touma Kamijou subconsciously took another step back.

"Um, ah, I'll call her Dolly, Dolly!"

Because of the girl's relentless pressure, the high school boy with the urchin-shaped haircut, whose mind was in complete disarray, subconsciously uttered the name.

The name is actually the feminine pronunciation of 'Dolly,' which comes from the famous cloned sheep.

If you don't like it—

"Dolly?"

Poison Island 10087 stopped, thought for a moment, put his hands behind his back, and smiled with his head tilted to the side.

"I really like it, thank you, Touma-kun."
