Chapter 187 Higashiyama Ritsu Delivered to Your Doorstep! Humiliated? Dream on! Get in line!

Planet Z99.

Qilicheng.

The aroma of Sagawa Iku has spread throughout the city's streets and alleys.

Millions of subjects, including Sagawa Iku's original group of seventh and eighth-tier evolved beings, all bowed down to Dawn City and submitted to it.

now.

Inside the city lord's palace.

Yu Jin sat upright in the position of city lord.

Below, an eighth-tier ultimate evolver from Seven Mile City was humbly reporting information about other refuge cities on Planet Z99.

He learned all this information from Iku Sagawa.

At this point, in order to survive and to express their loyalty, they spoke without reservation and without holding back.

“Z99星球共有1座9级避难城，9座8级避难城。”

"Seven Mile City, ranked ninth."

"The other level 8 refuge city closest to Seven Mile City is located in area 90, named Phoenix Leap City, which is ranked tenth."

"The city lord's name is Dongshan Li, a woman of exceptional beauty and temperament, and also a ninth-tier evolver..."

"..."

"The eighth-ranked refuge city is called Kudo City, located in area 60."

"..."

"The number one ranked refuge city, and also the only level 9 refuge city on planet Z99, is named..."

"Celestial City!"

Watanabe Tai, an eighth-tier ultimate evolver from Shichiri City, emphasized his words with extra force.

"Celestial City?"

Upon hearing the name, Yu Jin narrowed his eyes slightly.

After reaching level 5, a refuge city can be renamed.

Yu Chen's name, '丨城', comes from this.

This shows that Z99, this "city of gods," has quite the grand ambition...

"Elaborate."

Yu Jin looked at Watanabe Tai, who clearly had a lot to say at this moment.

"Okay, my lord!"

Watanabe paused for a moment, as if organizing his thoughts, before speaking slowly and respectfully:

"The City of Gods is a relatively recent city."

"No, it's not that it's not long, it's that it's extremely short."

"It is said that its city lord only landed on this planet five years ago."

"And in just five years, he rose to prominence, killing countless evolved beings and city lords..."

"Two years ago, the Celestial City he ruled controlled half of Planet Z99, and the total number of refuge cities under his command exceeded ten thousand!"

“I heard him say that from Iku Sagawa…”

"The city lord of Heavenly God City is extremely young and incredibly powerful!"

"Sagawa Iku once caught a glimpse of that city lord from afar, and his exact words were—"

"The oppressive feeling emanating from the city lord of Heavenly God City was completely unlike that of someone facing a ninth-tier evolver of the same level..."

After Watanabe finished speaking, he let out a long sigh.

to be frank.

He wouldn't have said these words if the person in front of him, including Sky City, wasn't so powerful.

after all--

The city lord of Heavenly God City is also an extremely terrifying big shot!

"Oh?"

Watanabe Tai's words piqued Yu Jin's interest.

Especially his retelling of Sagawa Iku's last words.

"It doesn't feel like facing a ninth-tier evolver of the same level at all?"

"meaning is……"

"Above the ninth rank?"

Yu Jin's eyes narrowed even more.

Inside the meeting hall.

Naya and the others also showed some curiosity at this moment.

Above the ninth rank?

Apart from the city lord, they have not seen anyone else so far.

unless……

Another player from a high-level server?

When the Battle of Naya ended, Ember revealed some information about Holland and others to them. As a result, they learned that Holland, along with Eureka and others before him, came from a higher-level galactic wasteland server.

"interesting."

Yu Jin nodded, memorizing the name 'City of Gods'.

He had initially thought that this trip to Planet Z99 would be just like before, a mere formality, bland and uninteresting.

Looking at it now?

It seems there's some new fun to be had.

"My Lord——"

Beside Ember, Neil noticed his thoughts and spoke up.

"Neil is willing to lead the Evolver Legion to the City of Gods to suppress all evil for you!"

The voice just fell.

"Your Excellency, Lord of the City, Naya also requests permission to fight!"

Naya chuckled and waved her little fists a few times.

"President, Yin Yao is also willing to go."

"Master~"

"Narsa wants some too!"

"Ahem, Lord City Lord, Chen Port is a safe route!"

"..."

Inside the meeting hall.

All the ninth-tier evolved beings in Dawn City were now eager to fight.

This scene made Watanabe's eyelids twitch uncontrollably.

Good guy!
Why do all the big shots in Sky City seem so warlike?
My former castle lord, Iku Sagawa, died unjustly, really unjustly...

"Not urgent."

Ember shook his head, then suddenly changed the subject:
"Compared to the Celestial City on the other side of the planet..."

"There are some guests who come to us on their own initiative. If you'd like, you can go and entertain them."

This statement came out.

Naya and the others were immediately taken aback.

then.

"My lord!"

The light in Neil's blue mechanical eyes kept flashing.

Ever since she was infused with energy by her master, she has always wanted to do her best for him. Now that the opportunity is right in front of her, she can't miss it no matter what.

"Your Excellency, Lord City Lord!"

Naya followed closely behind, not to be outdone.

"President!"

Yin Yao took a step forward.

"Haha."

Ember smiled and then nodded:

"Okay, it'll be the three of you."

……

……

It is located nearly a thousand kilometers south of Qilicheng.

Edge of area 80.

wow——

Suddenly, a crimson flame swept across the dark sky.

As the flames subsided, a slender and graceful woman's figure was revealed.

The visitor was none other than Dongshan Li, the ninth-rank city lord of Fengyue City.

"This this……"

At this moment, Higashiyama Riri's delicate and slightly charming face was full of astonishment.

In her field of vision, above the distant Qili City, floated an extremely large sky city!

The oppressive atmosphere of this Sky City made Dongshan Li feel inexplicably heavy and depressed, even though she was just looking at it from afar!

"Has something really happened in Qili City?"

Higashiyama Ri's heart pounded wildly.

She stood in mid-air, hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth, deciding to get closer to gather more information.

after all……

Phoenix Leap City and Seven Mile City are only ten districts apart.

As the city lord, and with only one month left before her promotion, Dongshan Li could not possibly choose to stay in Fengyue City and await her fate.

She must take the initiative!

wow-

The flames swept out again.

Higashiyama Riri's figure vanished into the void.

When it reappeared, it was already a hundred miles away from Qilicheng.

After several consecutive Fire Release techniques.

Dongshanli is only 300 kilometers away from Qilicheng.

At such a distance, as a ninth-tier evolved being, she was already able to glimpse parts of Seven Mile City from afar.

And what she saw at first glance was...

"S-Sagawa Iku?!"

in fact.

She had already 'smelled' it long before she even saw Sagawa Iku.

She was just wondering...

What exactly is that smell that travels so far?

Only now do I realize—

It turns out to be Iku Sagawa, the 'mature' Iku Sagawa.

The latter was still being scorched by the brilliant flames, but it no longer let out any screams and had lost all signs of life.

In order to achieve the effect of 'Seven Mile Fragrance', Yu Jin also specially used some of his wind attribute abilities.

"It's actually..."

"To be so brutally murdered..."

Higashiyama Riri stood there stunned for a long time before finally reacting.

Just for a moment.

Alarm bells were ringing in her mind!
Sagawa Iku's strength is no less than hers, and may even be slightly stronger. If Sagawa Iku can use 'Seven Mile Fragrance', then she…

"escape!"

"Run away!"

Higashiyama Riri made a decisive decision.

She had no time to regret her reckless approach to Qili City.

now.

All she wanted to do was leave Qili City, this place of trouble, as quickly and discreetly as possible!
but……

late!

hum-

Buzz—!
When Dongshan Li turned around, the void a hundred meters away was already rippled with waves.

Three figures appeared.

A cyborg woman, a human girl, and a petite loli.

The three women all turned their gazes quietly toward Higashiyama Riri.

As for Higashiyama Riri, every nerve in her body was completely taut!
"Ninth rank, all of them are ninth rank!"

Higashiyama Rie tried to use Fire Release to escape, but discovered...

The surrounding space was forcibly sealed off by an even more terrifying force.

this means……

Besides these three ninth-level women, there are even more powerful figures watching everything from behind the scenes!
It is very likely that it was that big shot who made Sagawa Iku transform into the 'Seven Mile Fragrance' at this moment.

"oops."

"The city lord is really something..."

"They actually sealed off the space after all. They don't trust Nyarlathotep at all!"

Above the sky.

Naya sensed the spatial blockade and couldn't help but mutter under her breath.

the other side.

Yin Yao remained silent, only raising her hand in quiet contemplation.

The elemental energy within her body began to surge wildly.

Currently, she is considered the strongest among those below the embers of Dawn City.

Sandstorm, Mind Control, Rebirth, Holy Light – four attributes!
In particular, the fourth attribute, Holy Light, is extremely lethal. When it goes all out, even Nyarlathotep, who is also at the limit of the ninth rank, is no match for it.

Kaka-

A crisp mechanical sound emanated from inside Neil's body.

She now possesses both 'mechanical' and 'warship' attributes, making her equally formidable in combat.

boom--!
Crimson flames surged forth from Higashiyama Riki's body.

Behind her, a huge phantom image faintly appeared.

She will not surrender easily!

The battle is about to break out!
……

……

Seven Mile City, City Lord's Mansion.

Bang-!
There was a dull sound of landing.

Covered in dust and dirt, Higashiyama Ritsu was bound hand and foot and thrown on the ground.

"?"

Inside the meeting hall.

Watanabe Tai, who was still answering questions about the embers and reporting information about planet Z99, was dumbfounded!
no……

He had just mentioned this ninth-rank city lord of Phoenix Leap City, and he was immediately kidnapped?

Even considering the words Yu Jin used earlier, it's highly likely that Dongshan Li offered herself up, but this efficiency is still a bit too high, isn't it?
"Uh……"

"My lord, that's all I know."

"You, you..."

"You go ahead with your work? Shall I leave?"

Watanabe Tai dared not look too long at Higashiyama Rie, who was tied up like a dumpling.

He is very pragmatic, even more so than Iku Sagawa.

"can."

Yu Jin nodded.

Watanabe Taijo was granted a general amnesty.

He walked backwards out of the city lord's mansion with his head down.

Inside the meeting hall.

The gazes of the others also dared not linger on Dongshan Li.

Although the latter was fully clothed at this time, the way he was tied up was inexplicably somewhat shameful.

"You will take over Qili City first."

"I have something to ask her."

Yu Jin spoke, giving an order.

After saying that, without waiting for anyone's reply, he waved his hand.

Swah——

Spatial fluctuations spread.

He disappeared from the position of city lord, and with him, Higashiyama Ritsu, her face filled with humiliation, also vanished.

"Eh?"

Seeing this, Naya blinked her big eyes.

"wrong."

Her face immediately tensed up.

"We can't let these latecomers beat us to it!"

Naya muttered to himself, and his figure disappeared from the spot.

Yin Yao remained silent and also disappeared.

Neil's movements were even faster than Naya and Yin Yao's.

Such a scene.

Everyone in the council chamber was stunned.

a long time.

Old Yu shook his head and sighed.

"Okay, okay!"

"No wonder the fortune teller said that my Yu family would have a prosperous future; it turns out that the prosperity is all thanks to Xiao Jin!"

……

……

Dawn City.

Sky Tower.

The city lord's private area is extremely spacious.

Swish-

One after another, figures appeared from the void.

"Master~!"

"You're back!"

On the luxurious 50-meter-long bed, the Momono Kaori sisters, dressed as bunny girls, exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Yu Jin.

then……

Kneeling, he crawled along the edge of the bed toward the location of the embers.

"..."

Such a scene.

A deep sense of despair welled up in Higashiyama Rie's eyes.

She swore...

I've never seen a bed this big in my life!
The mastermind behind the killing of Sagawa Iku, the owner of this Sky City, is clearly extremely shady!
Higashiyama Riri tilted her head back, trying not to let the glistening tears fall.

She recalled her experiences of struggling and persevering on this planet Z99 until now.

Despair and resentment filled Higashiyama Ri's eyes.

She was a ninth-tier evolved being, and the lord of an eighth-tier refuge city...

Now, are we to be forcibly humiliated by villains?

Still on this 50-meter-long super king-size bed!
even……

It looks like other women will be joining.

"Woo——"

Higashiyama Riki bit her red lips tightly, her bound hands clenching silently.

She did try, but...

Failed.

Those three women were terrifyingly powerful.

As a fellow ninth-tier evolver, she couldn't even last a few rounds before being captured alive.

The ropes binding her at this moment were also specially made.

It comes from the level 10 resource shop and can be used to bind evolvers of the ninth rank and below, limiting their internal energy.

This is why Yu Jin felt comfortable letting Yin Yao and the other two women go to 'entertain' Dongshan Li.

"oi."

A shout made Higashiyama Riko, who had been hanging her head, look up blankly.

This is a woman's voice.

It also sounds quite crisp and pleasant.

She was familiar with that voice.

Is it that petite little girl?

In front of Higashiyama Rie, Nyarlathotep handed her a card...

"Number plate?"

"What do you mean?"

Higashiyama Riri was even more bewildered.

"Humph--"

Naya put her hands on her hips and sneered.

"Look at the way you were just now!"

"Are you trying to pull some kind of coy, tearful act or feigned indifference?"

“I’ll tell you—”

"First come, first served, understand?"

"What you've received now is called a 'love number plate.' Only when your turn comes will you be qualified to have your energy infused by the respected City Lord!"

"Unless the city lord specifically requests otherwise..."

"You are not allowed to seduce or do anything improper to the city lord!"

Higashiyama Rie's fiery red eyes widened in surprise.

"?"

She was very confused.

I feel even more bewildered than when I was first brought here.
