Black Book

Chapter 479 I don’t care
"You can't blame me for this. You were the first to attack me. I was just forced to defend and fight back..."

Zhu Haomiao shrugged righteously and spread his hands helplessly.

"........."

"Even though you offended me so much, I didn't kill you indiscriminately. Instead, I spared your lives..."

Having said that, the young man in black looked into everyone's eyes and smiled sincerely.

"Believe me, I'm a really good person."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the indigenous magicians widened and their doubts were immediately resolved.

Almost all of them had been dragged into the black fog by the giant python before, but just when they lost the strength to resist and closed their eyes waiting to die, the cold and poisonous snakes that were entangled on their bodies loosened their stranglehold and dissipated again.

Originally they thought that the other party had encountered a strong enemy, so they withdrew their strength and had no energy to take care of them.

But now it seems that it was only because of the other party's kindness!
But... why?
He is a giant snake that has devoured nearly a million people. Isn't it a bit too darkly humorous to say that he is kind, such a vicious and dangerous monster?
Realizing that the young man in black was not as evil and cruel as they had imagined, and seemed to be able to reason, the leading high-level wizards quietly exchanged glances, and one of them gritted his teeth and asked.

"Since you are not an evil god, why did you kill so many people? The number of people we have counted is nearly one million!"

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao looked at him strangely.

"It is precisely because I am a good person that I have to kill the bad guys. Kill all the bad guys, and the rest will be good people, and everyone will be happy!"

Hearing this, the other person couldn't help but frown and retorted: "But your behavior is not in line with procedural justice, it is an abuse of lynching!"

Tilting his head slightly, Zhu Haomiao looked at the person who was speaking with a half-smile, his eyes deep and dark.

“Why should I follow your procedures?”

"I am justice!"

"My judgment is divine punishment!"

"As for your opinions, I don't care."

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell into deathly silence. Everyone felt the arrogance of the young man in black, who looked down on all living beings like a god.

Not contempt, not disdain!
It’s ignoring, it’s not caring!

Human laws and morals are meaningless, and the whole world is just a game in his eyes.

The rise and fall, life and death of all beings depends only on his thoughts!
The most important thing is that he has the strength to match it!
The terrifying image of a "star" hanging over the city flashed through his mind, and a strong feeling of powerlessness filled his body and mind. Facing such an extraordinary existence, even a high-level wizard felt that he was extremely insignificant.

"Okay, open the barrier quickly, or I'll do it myself."

Waving his hands impatiently, Zhu Haomiao urged softly.

Seeing that there was nothing that could be done, the leading wizard could only bow respectfully.

"Your will."

........................

Tokyo Onmyoji

On the top floor of the heavily guarded castle tower, Abe Waka leaned on the railing and looked out at the bustling city outside the barrier, remaining speechless for a long time.

"Waka..."

Beside her, Yazaki Yu seemed to want to say something but didn't know how to comfort her. After hesitating for a long time, he spoke.

"Don't worry, Zhu Jun is so strong, he will be fine."

Keeping his gaze far away, Abe and Kazuka whispered quietly without turning back.

"But I can't feel his presence at all..."

"It seems like there's a layer of membrane between us, severing our contract..."

After mumbling dejectedly, Abe Waka raised a bitter smile.

"What's the point of worrying?"

"Now I'm under house arrest in the castle tower, and you're the only one who comes to see me occasionally." Looking back at his childhood sweetheart, a hint of warmth appeared in Abe Waka's tired eyes.

But at this moment, a magnetic voice as mellow as red wine came from not far away.

"Can you really not feel the existence of the [Bow]?"

The two of them turned their heads suddenly and saw a tall and slender figure slowly approaching.

"Lord Athena."

The two of them hurriedly saluted respectfully. When the tall and beautiful lady walked beside them, a refreshing and alluring fragrance penetrated into their noses. Yazaki Yu's imagination ran wild, his face turned red, and he subconsciously took a step back.

Athena keenly noticed his movements, and raised the corners of her mouth as if smiling, then looked at Abe Waka with her beautiful eyes and repeated it again.

"Can you really not feel the existence of the [Bow]?"

Hearing this, Abe Waka nodded dejectedly.

"Yes, Lady Athena."

"Can't you even sense whether he's alive or dead?"

"Can't sense it."

"Wow... That's really strange..."

With one hand on her chest and the other supporting her chin, Athena pondered for a long time, suddenly curling up a meaningful smile and sweeping the two of them with a cold gaze.

"However, to be on the safe side, I still..."

Athena raised her soft hands and slowly extended her slender white fingers towards Abe Waka.

But just as she was about to touch the girl, Yazaki Yu suddenly blocked her way.

"Lady Athena, what do you want to do?"

Yazaki Yu stared at her with vigilance, and he sensed a hint of danger.

There was a slight pause in her movements, and Athena smiled like a flower, glanced at Yazaki Yu with seductive eyes, and gently brushed his cheek with her fingertips.

"What a brave boy! In that case..."

The strange divine pressure covered the entire top of the castle tower. The pupils of Abe and Waka slowly dilated, and their bodies were frozen and solidified, unable to move at all.

Yazaki Yu watched helplessly as the slender five fingers strangled his neck and felt the irresistible force gathering on his throat. It only took a slight twist to break his neck.

Just when he thought he was about to die, a hand suddenly grabbed Athena's wrist, preventing her from exerting any strength.

"What do you want to do!?"

Beside the three of them, Amaterasu stared at Athena expressionlessly, her five fingers gradually increasing in force like a hydraulic press, and golden-red flames appeared in her pupils.

"Cough cough cough..."

Athena was forced to loosen her grip, and Yazaki Yu, who had escaped death, broke free from the strangulation, coughed wildly, and subconsciously grabbed Abe Waka and quickly retreated.

"Something's wrong, let's go!"

Although he didn't understand what was going on, Yazaki Yu keenly realized that the situation had changed and his previous offensive and defensive alliance partners were no longer trustworthy!
On the other side, looking at the furious Amaterasu, Athena curled her lips charmingly.

"I was just kidding."

"Do you think I would believe it?"

boom!
With the castle tower as the core node, the entire Onmyoji Ryo draws endless energy from the earth veins and, under the control of Amaterasu, unfolds a magnificent barrier on a grand scale.

The colorful colors quickly faded, and the whole world was reduced to monotonous gray.

And in this gloomy world, two gorgeous figures quietly emerged, and together with Amaterasu, they surrounded Athena.
